Chapter 118 The Disappearing Dragons



Ash had no idea what Meng and Jane said.

From the afternoon till the evening, he and the enthusiastic Nance studied the scale that looked like a dragon, the golden scale from the mural in the underground of the Snow Demon's Lair.

They tried various methods on the scales, but none of them could damage them. The scales were extremely resistant to magic and physical attacks, and no other material known today could have such strong defensive capabilities.

"If we can use such scales to make a piece of armor, the swordsman wearing it may be able to fight against the white-robed wizard." Nance gave a very high evaluation. The white-robed wizard is second only to the throne.

Unfortunately, there is only one such scale.

If it really is a legendary dragon, it would be even rarer.

A full set of dragon phosphorus armor?

Don't even think about it.

Because there was only one scale, no matter how good its quality was, it had little use value. So Nance didn't think of doing anything with the scale. After the experiment, he returned it to Ash, and it was a meaningful souvenir.

Ash habitually put the scales back into the bag containing the little gray eggs.

The little gray egg I bought from Meng has not shown any movement so far.

There was a faint life wave in the egg. How faint was it? It seemed like it was about to die, but it was still hanging on, waiting and holding on.

During the time Ash was in the Crystal Forest, he would take out the little gray eggs from time to time, and tried to hatch the little gray eggs by reading a lot of egg-hatching techniques he found in literature, but to no avail.

Meng was watching from the side and felt very embarrassed. He was the one who sold the little gray egg to Ash, and he didn't expect Ash to care so much about this egg.

He couldn't help but suggest to Ash that he might as well give Ash another egg that was easy to hatch. If he wanted a fluffy one, or one with cold scales, or one with wings, or one with a tail, just ask him.

But Ash refused him.

"Sigourney gave it to me." This sentence dispelled Meng's idea of ​​giving her an egg.

What kind of egg should I give? No matter how big or how good the egg is, it can't compare to the small gray egg that Sigourney casually gave me.

After putting the little gray egg and scales in his pocket, Ash came out of Mr. Nance's laboratory. They had dinner together and then were taken out for a walk by Yelena and Ivan.

Walking on the familiar street, chatting idly, and soon they mentioned the afternoon experiment.

"Dragon scales?" Yelena was puzzled. "Dragon? What is that?"

"A magical creature from ancient times." Ash was also confused, "A very powerful magical creature. Don't you know?"

Yelena and Ivan looked at each other and shook their heads blankly: "I've never heard of it."

"Does it really exist?" Yelena doubted.

If there really were such powerful magical creatures, how could they not leave any trace in history?

Yelena felt that she had a good reason: "If dragons existed, they should have appeared in adventure novels a long time ago. But I've read so many books, and I've only seen stories about beating up undead, beating up demons, beating up vampires, beating up monsters... I've never seen anyone write about forming a team to beat up a dragon."

Ash was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the dragon painted on the mural in the underground of the Snow Demon's Lair - it was just a flat outline made up of piled up colors, but it contained a majestic and terrifying aura - how could it be fictional?

How could such a powerful creature be invented?

and……

Ash collected his thoughts and calmly produced strong evidence: "Sigourney, Uncle Meng, and Lord Nance all knew about the existence of dragons."

Ivan & Yelena: "..." Well, there's no way to refute that.

After a while, Yelena exclaimed: "Is it true?"

Ash nodded.

"It seems that we are ignorant." Yelena shrugged. "I guess the records about dragons are only in rare ancient documents. Lord Nans and his people are well-informed, so they know something about dragons, right?"

Ash thought so too.

When Sigourney saw the mural, she immediately recognized it as a dragon. Because Sigourney recognized it so easily, he felt that dragons, like elves, were magical creatures known to everyone in Iluv, and he felt ashamed that he had read too few books. Later, he met Uncle Meng, who talked a lot about the stories of the dragon clan. Today, he mentioned it to Lord Nans, and Lord Nans told him about the dragon scales in a normal manner...

All three of them knew about dragons, and they understood them quite well.

Because the people he met were knowledgeable and powerful, he was successfully misled by these three people.

It was not until now that he realized that dragons were not as well-known as he had imagined?

"How could that be?" Ivan frowned. "If dragons are really that powerful, how could there be no trace left in history?"

Ash was just as confused as he was, even more confused than Ivan.

Because Ash had seen a dragon with his own eyes, even though it was a mural, he still had a deep feeling about how powerful this creature was.

Dragons should not only exist in ancient documents. Even if there is no official record of them in history, they should appear in legends and be passed down by word of mouth based on their power.

However, no.

Ivan and Yelena were very confident that there was no such thing. Not even a single word.

With doubts in their hearts, they were in no mood to go for a walk. The three of them immediately turned back and went back to the wizard tower to find Nans to answer their questions.

At night, Nance spent most of his time at the astrology table.

Ash and the other two found him here.

After listening to the three children's confusion, Nance laughed and said, "There should be a record, but there isn't. Don't you already have the answer in your mind?"

Ivan still frowned: "Mr. Nans, are you saying that everything is man-made?"

Only human power can break the natural development of "should" and "ought to", and can achieve the results by inertia.

Only human intervention can change the established outcome.

If in ancient times, humans were determined to erase the existence of dragons from history, then hundreds or thousands of years later, future generations would no longer know about dragons - it is possible.

Nance nodded with relief: "I agree with this as well."

"But..." Yelena asked, "Why did the ancient wizards do this?"

Nance didn't answer directly, his eyes fell on Ash.

Among them, only Ash had personally felt the power of a dragon.

Ash pursed his lips and said slowly, "Because the dragon is too powerful."

"That's right," Nance said. "Dragons are too powerful." He sighed, "In the ancient documents I've read, there are very few words about dragons. Even with those few words, I can feel their absolute power, like a hegemon from the sky to the ocean."

"If." He made an assumption, "If the dragons were still there, Iluf would never be in its current situation. The most likely scenario is that wizards and magical creatures would each occupy half of the world."

Ivan and Yelena looked surprised.

Isn’t this too scary?

A race that can change the world with its own strength...

"Afraid?" Nance asked them, but before getting an answer, he shook his head, "Once everyone knows how powerful the dragons are, they will be afraid. However, Iluf, which is ruled by the Wizard Association, does not need humans to fear magical creatures. Not only does it not need it, it must be completely abandoned."

Therefore, the powerful dragon race did not even leave a legend. All traces of its existence were wiped out completely, from history and from the hearts of mankind.

Nance smiled and said, "This is just my guess. History looks different to different people. You don't have to take what I say to heart. It's more interesting to find the answer yourself."

"It is also very beneficial to listen to Lord Nans's conjecture." Yelena asked eagerly, "So, in Lord Nans's opinion, how did the dragons disappear from Iluf? What exactly happened to them?"

No matter how the ancient wizards modified the vague history, there must be a premise first - the dragons on this continent were completely extinct, not a single one was left.

Otherwise, there will always be people who know about the existence of the dragon race. There will always be legends about the dragon race.

Could it be that the dragon race, which is so powerful as described by Lord Nans, was completely extinct in the war with humans in ancient times?

Nance smiled and spread his hands: "I don't know either. There are so many unknowns in the world, waiting for young people like you to explore. I'm waiting for you to answer my questions."

Ash blinked, thinking of Dahlan's remains.

The history of ancient times is unclear, and the disappearance of the dragon clan is also included in it.

By going to the ruins of Dailan, can we find the answer to Sir Nans's puzzles?

Ash and the other two came with doubts and left with even greater doubts.

I probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.

Ash said goodnight to Ivan and Yelena and went back to his bedroom.

Before pushing the door open, he glanced at Sigourney's door next door, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips. The feeling of the cold north wind gently touching his lips once again filled his heart... It had been a long time since the last time, which was also the first time, Sigourney kissed him.

He blushed and lowered his head, wanting to ask Sigourney for a goodnight kiss.

With this thought in mind, he quietly moved to Sigourney's door.

He raised his hand and knocked on Sigourney's door.

"Sigourney, it's me."

If Sigourney asked him anything, he could say… well, ask Sigourney what she thinks of the dragons?

The door opened silently in front of him.

It means you can enter.

Ash smiled with his lips pursed and walked inside.

Then he saw an incredibly spacious room.

It was as big as Sigourney's room plus his room!

Yes! That’s right! Literally!

Ash stopped in his tracks, and realized with a confused look on his face that Sigourney's room and his room next door seemed, seemed, probably... to be connected in the middle and merged into one, becoming a room twice as spacious!

The furnishings in the room are arranged clearly.

The cold and dark side belongs to Sigourney.

The warm and bright side belongs to Ash.

The two rooms were hastily put together to form such a strange space.

On Sigourney's incredibly large bed, which was covered with a dark blue velvet carpet, Sigourney was half lying down in silk pajamas, revealing her beautiful body lines.

The pale, beautiful vampire crossed her arms and looked at him coldly.

Ash looked back blankly: "This, this is..."

Sigourney sneered and raised her chin: "Go ask your Grandpa Nance."

Ash blinked, then actually turned around, opened the door, and ran down the corridor to the astronomical observatory.

Sigourney who was thrown into the room: “…”

On the astronomical table.

Nance smiled at the dizzy Ash and said, "Aren't you and Sigourney together? Since you are already lovers, shouldn't you live under the same roof? So I asked Selvi to combine your rooms into one. You're welcome. This is what an elder should do."

Ash felt dizzy and thought that what Mr. Nance said made sense, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. So he walked back with his feet dizzy.

When he walked to Sigourney's door again, he came back to his senses and had a sense of reality.

He calmed himself down and walked back to his door.

Gently, gently, he pushed the door of his room open a crack and looked into the room with shining eyes.

I saw a room that was twice as big as the previous one, and a small bed on the left and a large bed on the right.

I saw a pale and beautiful vampire half lying on the big bed. Her profile was so perfect and flawless that it made my heart beat fast.

Ash's little heart suddenly started beating rapidly.

At once……

Although that big bed was not his bed.

but--

Sigourney lay on the bed in his room.

It seems there's nothing wrong with him thinking this way?
