Chapter 178 Awakening in Another World
Another alien continent.
The black dragon woke up from its slumber and slowly opened its eyes.
"Thank God you finally woke up."
A familiar voice came from not far away. Godwin slowly turned his head and saw an old acquaintance.
"Why is it you?"
"Look at your heartless disappointment. It's not me. Your soul fragments are still scattered in the cracks of time and space. Do you think you can still be angry with me here?"
After being reminded by Perrin, Godwin finally recalled the fragments before he fell asleep.
He stood in front of the believer and caught the lightning for her. It was the first time he saw the believer cry so sadly, and that gentle kiss that made the dragon's soul tremble...
Godwin flushed.
"Thanks."
"Wow, I didn't expect our black dragon Godwin would actually say thank you. This is really fresh." Seeing that he was in good condition, the silver dragon's face was full of relief.
Godwin struggled to his feet. After such a severe injury, he was somewhat surprised at how quickly his body recovered. Though the magic power flowing through him was limited, it flowed smoothly, without any sense of stagnation. This was probably thanks to Perrin's care for him. Although his magic power was meager, his body had been carefully rebuilt. With effort, he would surely return to his peak in time.
"How are my followers?"
Perrin had a strange look on his face, and he looked at him with a look that seemed to indicate he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
Godwin suddenly had a bad feeling and asked hurriedly, "What happened to her?"
Perrin calmed his turbulent emotions. "In fact, I don't know how she is now. She hasn't appeared since you suddenly returned here after traveling through time and space, your life or death unknown."
What!
Godwin's breath hitched.
Without hesitation, Godwin blurted out, "Send me to her, Perrin."
"Don't worry."
"You have no idea what's going on!" Godwin glared at him. "I have to make sure she's safe."
I don’t know if she encountered any danger again. She must have been worried sick during the time he disappeared.
"But……"
"No buts, Perrin. If you still consider me your friend, please respect my decision."
Perrin had a helpless expression on his face, as if he really couldn't do anything about it. Just as he was thinking about what to say, a water-blue figure walked into the cave.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing, Perrin. Has our Sleeping Beauty finally woken up?"
Godwin was a little surprised by her sudden familiarity and the intimate "we". He frowned and looked at the blue dragon who was walking towards him quickly: "Sabrina, why are you here?"
It seems that he is not familiar enough with this blue dragon to visit it casually.
"I forgot to tell you one thing. During the time you were unconscious, Sabrina and I got married. She is my wife now." Silver Dragon Perrin hugged his wife's waist and announced the great news innocently.
Godwin's heart skipped a beat, and he said bewilderedly, "You two got married so quickly."
He'd only been gone for two months, and if you factor in the time he'd been unconscious, that meant six months at most. These two dragons had quietly come together. Perrin was truly on fire.
"Flash marriage? What's that?" Perrin didn't understand the new term Godwin was talking about, but he understood the look in his eyes. He said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I was surprised that Sabrina liked me. We went through many unimaginable difficulties before we finally confirmed our feelings for each other. Her parents also found it difficult to accept marrying their precious daughter to me at first, but fortunately, it all passed, and the final result was a happy one. Don't worry, I can share our story without reservation in the future."
Sabrina felt a little shy and suddenly interrupted Perrin's chatter, "You have no idea how much you sleep. Perrin has to go through time and space to search for your soul fragments from time to time, so I have to come over to check on you frequently. Our house is always empty, without any dragon energy at all."
She seemed to be complaining, but her eyes looking at Perrin were full of shining love, and it was obvious that she was not really dissatisfied.
Godwin listened to their conversation in silence, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Their familiarity, like that of an old married couple, was not something that could be cultivated over time. It was as if, as if they had been living like this for countless years.
Godwin spoke with great difficulty: "How long have I been asleep?"
Sabrina was amused and spoke without thinking:
"Exactly fifty years."
"If you don't wake up soon, Perrin and I will soon have to live in your house. Today is the 50th anniversary of my marriage to Perrin, and it's also the day of your awakening. This is really a good day worth celebrating! Don't you think so? Let me think about how I should celebrate..."
Godwin did not hear what she said excitedly. At this moment, there were only a few words repeating in his mind.
Fifty years…fifty years…fifty years!
Human life is so fragile and short, and he was absent for fifty years during her best years.
For believers, what is the meaning of his awakening?
Why did God play such a trick on him, giving him a new life but making him lose his most precious love?
Godwin's breathing stagnated and his face looked extremely ugly.
Sabrina was shocked when she saw his horrifying reaction. She pulled her husband's tail and said, "What's wrong with him? Is it just a last burst of energy? Will he fall into a deep sleep again?"
Perrin smiled helplessly. His wife, completely unaware of the situation, had suddenly thrown the words he had been carefully preparing at Godwin's feet. It would probably take poor Godwin a while to digest them.
In fact, he was not optimistic about Godwin's departure from this continent at first, and he even had the intention of making the little devil stumble and give up. The human often bothered him at first, trying every possible way to make him bring Godwin back to this continent.
But gradually, she came less and less.
Godwin had been away from this continent for five years, which was nothing to a dragon, but Perrin knew that Godwin must have decided to stay in her world for that human. And they must have gotten along well, because that human never came to see him again.
But when one afternoon five years later, Godwin was thrown in front of him by the time tunnel, he looked so miserable and dying that even Perrin could not recognize him. If he had not been holding the time and space prop he gave him tightly in his hand, Perrin really could not believe that this was the majestic little black dragon of the past.
Perrin still couldn't figure out who could have hurt Godwin so badly.
But none of that mattered anymore. In the long river of time, everything could be healed or forgotten. Little by little, the couple nursed the little black dragon back to health, and pieced together his soul. Surely, before long, he would regain his former majesty.
Godwin walked out of Longxue with a gloomy look on his face. His weak body was now filled with confused thoughts. Under the clear sky, several hunched figures were roaming on the mountainside, all of them smelling of human beings.
Who's there?
Godwin was delighted at first, but then his expression immediately turned grim.
This was the place where he and his followers first met, the territory shrouded by his presence. Why would such ignorant humans trespass? He was asleep, not dead. Could it be that even humans could bully him?
Without a second thought, Godwin went down and killed those rude and annoying guys.
Who would have thought that when he appeared, there was not much fear in those people's eyes, but instead they all looked extremely surprised.
"Lord Black Dragon Godwin, you've finally woken up! That's great!"
Godwin looked at the old woman who was speaking. Her face, neither humble nor arrogant, was filled with genuine joy, and she seemed to be very excited about his appearance.
This scene stirred a slight ripple in Godwin's heart, and he felt like he had seen it before.
"Who are you?" Godwin asked her in human language.
"I am Beatrice, respected Lord Godwin. These are my brother and sister-in-law. You still remember Lady Shen Jiang, right? She was the one who brought us here."
Godwin thought for a long time and finally found such a person in the corner of his distant memory. He remembered that he was very angry because his believers particularly favored a certain orc, and he even did not hesitate to attract the attention of his believers many times for this.
"So it's you." Godwin looked at her steadily, as if he could see through her old eyes the times that he had once ignored.
"Why are you here?"
He fell into a deep sleep, and that person never came back. Logically speaking, these people should have left here long ago.
Beatrice, her brother, and her sister-in-law exchanged glances, and the three of them smiled knowingly.
"We remain in this mountain, hoping to wait for Lord Shen Jiang's return before we die," Beatrice added promptly, "and also to welcome your awakening.
In fact, the children and grandchildren of his brother and sister-in-law did not approve of their behavior. These children had lived with their grandmother in the First Empire since they were born. Although their mother had died more than ten years ago, these children were more adapted to life in the human world.
Compared to the empty mountains, they were more accustomed to the convenient and rich life in the city. However, over time, these children gradually stopped insisting and would find ways to visit them every once in a while.
After the Witch Mistress hadn't appeared for six months, the workers in the mountains, unpaid, left one after another. Ellis and Catherine began searching for every mountaintop the Witch Mistress had taken them to. By then, Beatrice had become one of the most accomplished magicians in the Empire and was preparing to return to the Witch Mistress's service. Upon hearing the news, she immediately joined her brother and sister-in-law in a search for the Witch Mistress.
In this original dragon mountain, they saw the sleeping black dragon Godwin.
They firmly believed that the witch would come back here.
"Fifty years later, you finally woke up." Ellis' eyes were filled with tears of excitement. "Perhaps the day when Lord Shen Jiang returns is not far away."
Looking at these old humans who had gone from their prime youth to old age in the blink of an eye, the hope in their eyes was so strong that the bitterness in Godwin's heart became even stronger.
Without answering any of them, Godwin turned and left in unusual silence, his steps so heavy that they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Godwin didn't dare think about that question.
Are his believers still alive in that world?
