Chapter 188 The Last Dragon
Humanity maintained its previous battle line and never retreated again.
It’s already a very good result.
Judging from the information displayed on the system, the demons' attacks don't seem to be as frequent now.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
The black magician might have to take action himself.
It has to be faster.
When we reached Moriadu Peak, the Wakadi Mountains had seen the first snow of the winter.
The mountains are covered with snow.
After entering the mountain, it was a little difficult to tell the direction.
Fortunately, the system's navigation came in handy.
Climbing a mountain is not an easy task.
Cecilia's teleportation magic can only teleport to halfway up the mountain.
Although it is winter and snowing, you may not necessarily encounter any animals.
In addition, the weather is cold now, so the magic moment is used to keep warm.
If we encounter any unexpected situation on the road, it will be really bad.
The two began to climb at the foot of the mountain.
The higher you go in the mountain, the steeper it gets and the lower the temperature becomes.
Cecilia had climbed mountains in her original world as well, but she had always taken the cable car, which was much more convenient.
Looking at the mountain top that was somewhat blurred in the wind and snow, Cecilia sighed.
Elves are not as afraid of cold as humans.
They can always adapt to the natural environment in the fastest time.
Whether comfortable or harsh.
Cecilia was so envious.
Fortunately, her physical strength was still good, and they didn't stop to rest until they reached halfway up the mountain.
Demetra accompanied Cecilia to replenish her energy. "There are actually no animals in this mountain."
It's winter after all.
"Maybe it's hibernating?"
Demetra felt something was wrong.
"It's better to be careful."
Cecilia nodded.
After recovering some strength, the two continued to move towards the top of the mountain.
Cecilia suddenly thought of a fairy tale she had seen in the previous world.
The dragon took the princess away from the castle and imprisoned her in the mountains.
The king ordered that if there was a warrior who could rescue the princess from the dragon, he would be given countless wealth.
There are many possible endings to this story.
Cecilia remembered that her mother told her the ending was -
"The princess is not waiting for a warrior. She is looking for a sharp sword, a sword that can look down on the dragon's head."
"Did she find it in the end?"
Her mother touched her and her sister's heads and asked, "Do you hope she finds the sword?"
"Of course! This way I can escape and go home!"
"She was found, and she met the king and queen safely." Mom tucked the quilts of the two of them, "Okay, it's late, you should go to bed."
She still remembers that when her sister shared the ending of this story with her friends at school, many of them laughed at her for reading a fake story.
The ending of the fairy tale is that the warrior kills the dragon and successfully rescues the princess.
At that time, Cecilia didn't understand the difference between the two, and just laughed it off and said, "The princess survived, so that's a good ending."
Only when I grew up did I realize that the ending was completely different.
Without stopping, the two men slowly approached the top of the mountain.
Now she has a sword in her hand, but it may not be a sharp sword for a dragon.
Likewise, there may not be a dragon on the top of a mountain.
The higher you go up the mountain, the less vegetation there is and the louder the wind becomes.
The strong wind and blizzard seemed like they could sweep Cecilia away at any time.
As for Demetra—
It's like walking on flat ground.
It seemed that the snow and wind were only directed at Cecilia.
Demetra kept an eye on Cecilia's condition, fearing that Cecilia would really be blown away by the wind.
The moment I stepped onto the top of the mountain, the wind seemed to sense something and suddenly became even stronger.
Cecilia used her legs to support herself and used magic to avoid being blown off the mountain by the sudden strong wind.
There is a big rock on the top of the mountain.
The stone was engraved with symbols that Cecilia could not understand.
Or it could be text.
Cecilia couldn't understand.
Let the system translate.
After the system was working for a while, just when Cecilia was about to think it couldn't understand it, it answered Cecilia's question.
"It says that they have been betrayed by humans and are forbidden to leave this place forever. They will not have any offspring until their entire race is wiped out."
It's a dragon!
The dragon is actually here.
The system continued, "The following is the time and name of each member of the tribe who died."
Finally, he concluded, "This might be the dragon clan's stele. Judging from the records on it, hundreds of dragons have died."
Cecilia was shocked. Could it be that all the dragons were dead?
Then he remembered the egg he had put away.
If all the dragons died, she would have no idea how the egg would hatch.
While Cecilia and the system were analyzing the text on the stone, Demetra had already searched the surroundings and found a breakthrough.
Demetra tugged at Cecilia, and the bottom of the stone was covered with snow.
But a row of strange symbols appeared.
The system directly translated it very cleverly, "It means there is a road here."
Cecilia started to push the snow away with her magic stick.
There was indeed a small hole under the stone.
It was similar to the hole she had dug out the egg from not long ago.
Cecilia:?
Are the dragons in this world very small?
But then I thought, the egg is so big, the dragon itself shouldn't be so small.
What else can be done?
Just keep digging.
But this time it was better, there was one more person digging the hole.
Not long after digging, Cecilia felt the mountain shaking beneath her feet.
earthquake?
No.
The shaking became more and more frequent, and Cecilia felt something was wrong. Demetra pulled Cecilia back.
The place where they had just dug the hole was shaking visibly.
It's like something is about to break out of the ground.
The two men retreated again and again.
But the space on the mountain is limited, and when there was nowhere to retreat, Cecilia released defensive magic.
The entire mountain was shaking, and it was difficult for the two men to just stand steady.
If the two of them had paid some other attention, they would have noticed that the wind and snow were much weaker.
It seemed that only this mountain was moving in the entire world.
With a roar, a giant dragon flew out.
It is so large that it can block out the sky and the sun.
Unfortunately, it's a cloudy day today.
Cecilia even had time to think, how could such a big dragon come out of that narrow hole?
The dragon continued to roar.
The saliva smeared on the defensive magic that Cecilia had released in advance.
"Human, why do you want to disturb my peace?"
It's a blessing in disguise that the dragon can speak human language.
"The world is in chaos, and I need the blessing of the sky from you to seal the black magician."
"What does this have to do with me?" The giant dragon flashed its wings, and the wind it brought was no smaller than before.
Its eyes were filled with disgust and disdain.
It hates humans and all living things under the sun.
The elves behind the humans were barely acceptable.
If it weren't for the elves...
The dragon seemed to have remembered something, and spit fire from its mouth, "Get lost, I don't want to see you rats."
Fortunately, Cecilia's defensive magic withstood the flames spewed by the dragon.
The snow on the top of the mountain melted instantly, and even through the magic, Cecilia felt that the air around her was much warmer.
Cecilia took out the egg she had found earlier and said, "Is this your descendant? I saw on the stone that you can no longer reproduce. This egg is still alive. If it hatches, wouldn't it break the curse written on the stone?"
The dragon's golden eyes stared at the egg that suddenly appeared, "Rat!"
His eyes fell on Demetra behind Cecilia.
The few good feelings I had towards the elves also disappeared.
Damn humans, after so many years, they have actually won over the elves.
It can actually make the elves hand over their trump cards.
The dragon wanted to take back the dragon eggs.
Cecilia's magic resisted desperately, and Demetra also helped.
"You are seeking death!"
"I can give you eggs!"
The dragon knew that the cunning human was about to make some unreasonable demands.
That's how they were deceived and saddled with such a cruel curse.
"I need you to give me the blessing of the sky and your blood, and I will return the egg to you!"
The giant dragon spewed a string of flames into the sky, instantly illuminating the sky.
I wonder if people at the foot of the mountain can see the fire in the heavy fog.
The dragon stared at the human in front of it, still trying to snatch the egg back.
Compared to the various protective magics Cecilia cast on the egg, the dragon was more afraid that he would break the egg if he exerted too much force.
That is the last hope of the dragon clan.
When the curse had just expired, a pregnant female dragon laid the last batch of dragon eggs.
The dragon could no longer remember how long ago that happened.
I thought that at least one of these eggs would bring them new life.
But these eggs clearly have vitality, but they have never hatched new life.
One year, two years, five years, ten years.
The dragons finally understood.
These eggs will never bring new life.
They didn't believe in evil and wanted to find a solution, but they couldn't leave the one and a half acres of land on the top of the mountain.
They are trapped here and die.
Their biggest wish every day is that these eggs can bring new life.
The elves at that time did not hide from the world. The elven queen found this mountain and said that she could help them take the egg away.
She will hide these eggs somewhere outside of the continent of Swester.
No one will find out where they are, and no one will harm the eggs.
Until all the dragons die and the curse on them disappears, she will bring the eggs back from that place and hatch the life inside.
This is the only hope for the dragon clan.
The elves are unlike other races. In the eyes of the dragons, they are still somewhat useful and trustworthy.
They carefully handed all the eggs to the elven queen.
As the years passed, one dragon after another died.
It is the only dragon left in the entire dragon clan.
It is waiting for the day to die.
That will be the destruction of the dragon clan, and it will also be the beginning of the dragon clan.
Rather than being trapped in this small piece of land for life, the dragon hopes that the lives hatched from these eggs can soar freely in the vast sky.
That was something that was within its reach.
But now it is extremely difficult.
The dragon stood on the huge rock.
For a moment, Cecilia was worried that the dragon would crush the stone.
But no.
The dragon folded its wings and looked at the motionless dragon egg.
It seems that the other person only has this one egg.
Even if he died, the egg would still be on the continent of Swest, and the curse of the dragon clan would not have disappeared.
The dragon race will no longer have a future.
Maybe destroy this egg...
It is the only adult dragon left in the world, and there is no room for negotiation. The future of the dragon clan is in its hands.
Once it makes the wrong decision...
Cecilia waited for the dragon's answer.
Threatening the dragon with eggs just now was really helpless.
This egg brought her out of that strange place. No matter what, Cecilia hoped that new life could hatch from this egg.
She hesitated and wanted to tell the dragon, but the dragon attacked again.
Not towards her and Demetra, but towards the egg.
The dragon seemed to have made some kind of decision.
This attack easily broke through Cecilia's protective magic.
There were obvious cracks on the eggshell.
Cecilia remembered that when she was communicating with the egg in that strange place before, the egg obviously did not want anyone to help it hatch from the outside.
She looked at the dragon in disbelief, "You're killing it!"
"What's your business?"
The huge pressure from the dragon clan forced Cecilia to the point where she couldn't even straighten her back.
Demetra, still feeling no pressure like she did when she was climbing the mountain, walked to the egg and gently stroked the cracks on the egg with her fingers.
The egg returned to its original shape.
The pressure released by the dragon dissipated in an instant. It jumped in front of Demetra and held her down with its wings. "Who are you?"
Cecilia was coughing violently and she didn't hear the dragon's question clearly at all until the dragon asked again with a roar.
Cecilia recovered and hurried forward to pull Demetra out from under the dragon's wings.
Demetra's eyes were full of pity.
Cecilia paused.
This is not Demetra.
"Long time no see, I seem to have missed the date."
The dragon looked at Demetra with bloodshot eyes, "What did you do to them?"
The look on Demetra's face was sacred and solemn. "They are fine and safe, but I am dead."
They were speaking to each other in a language Cecilia couldn't understand.
Although the system knows this, it can only pretend to be offline at this time.
The dragon released the force that was holding Demetra's wings, and Demetra struggled to stand up.
"That year, after I hid the egg and left, I met Campbell. I died on the way back to the elves."
"You know, after our three tribes reached this level, we did not disappear after death. I could only wander with the elves, watching them withdraw from the world because of my disappearance. I am a little disappointed that my descendants will become what they are now."
Cecilia seemed to have grasped some clues.
The dragon said nothing, just looked at "Demetra".
"This egg was brought out accidentally. I promise that we will return this egg to its original place."
"But the kid behind me really needs your help. Campbell is now all-powerful on the mainland. How many people has he killed over the years? Are you really willing to let him continue to be so arrogant?"
