There has never been a shortage of dragons on the Mycroft continent. This kind of creature is called the 'most powerful race' in many worlds.
In a sense, this title is correct. Looking at the multiverse, excluding those special species with only one or two tribesmen in hundreds of worlds, dragons are definitely the most powerful creatures. They have huge and powerful abilities. With a strong body, high intelligence, extremely strong magical talent and natural flying ability, an adult dragon is the embodiment of nightmare and the spokesperson of power for ordinary races without extraordinary power.
There are many types of dragons. Flying dragons, earth dragons, beast dragons, astral dragons, and original dragons, the gap between the weakest and the strongest among them is equivalent to a fly and a phoenix, but even the weakest hybrid dragons and earth dragons, They also have physical abilities that are unmatched by ordinary beasts, and the most powerful ether dragons can even fly freely in the multiverse. Their own existence can compare to a race and civilization.
The five-color giant dragon was far from reaching that point. When flying in the sky, the blue dragon Sukrash thought with some regret.
Far from enough.
The ultimate blue dragon Sukrash flew rapidly above the clouds. The moonlight illuminated the blue scales on its back, while thunder and lightning surrounded its side. The turbulent wind obeyed the orders of magic and accelerated the dragon's huge body. In just a short moment, it has moved forward for several miles, feeling the long vacuum trail being dragged out behind it. The blue dragon feels that it is extremely powerful at this time. Even if a mountain peak blocks it in front of it, it will be stopped by it. Crash easily.
But it’s not enough, or rather, it’s far from enough.
In mid-air, Suklash suddenly sighed. It didn't know what it thought of. The originally concentrated dragon eyes suddenly dispersed, and its flying speed couldn't help but slow down.
The centuries-old plan of the three legendary dragon kings was defeated head-on by an old human priest and two temporary allies. The mad dragon army that seemed to be able to sweep the entire continent was blocked in the far south by a group of soldiers shouting long live the kingdom. In the frontier mountains and jungles, countless hybrid demon dragons were severely damaged by the inexplicable time and space storms in the abyss, and the blue dragon Sukrash himself became a prisoner of a human warrior.
Giant dragons are very powerful, with powerful bodies and universal high-level magic talents. Such creatures can even be said to be perfect, but this does not mean that they are invincible. Because of various factors, there are always some races or characters that can suppress these giants. Beasts, causing all their plans to fail, just like the group of bipedal ferocious apes on the Myklov continent, just like the man it is going to see next.
The blue dragon could already see the blurry scene of the main city of Moldavia not far away. The city center was still brightly lit because of the adventurers. Sukrash looked down at the earth. It began to slowly spread its wings and use magic to control the airflow. Slow down and prepare to land at the lift field next to the main city - ever since airships became popular, dragons have become accustomed to landing in open and solid places. After all, no one or dragon likes the feeling of accidentally landing on a piece of mud.
But when Sukras slowed down halfway, it was keenly aware that the man it was going to see was now not far away on the outskirts of the city - the blue dragon had to immediately reverse its direction and land towards that area.
Then you can see a giant blue dragon falling from the sky surrounded by strong winds. As it falls, a series of magical radiances appear around it, and when Sukrash stands firmly on the earth, He had turned into a slightly pale elf young man. The elf young man walked quickly towards where Joshua and Artanis were, then stopped at an appropriate distance, half-knelt on the ground, and paid respectful respect. He is the nominal owner of the prisoners of war.
The so-called human transformation technique actually creates a human-shaped body and then places it in a special subspace. The user's will can freely switch between the two bodies, and one body can be transformed when needed. Take it out from the subspace and put another one in. This is why the injury and various adverse conditions can be greatly alleviated when the dragon turns into a human form after being injured, or changes from a human form back to a dragon.
"grown ups."
The blue dragon said respectfully: "After a long period of torture and soul searching, I have obtained information related to them from the mouths of the two humanoid five-color dragons peering into the territory."
After finishing speaking, Sukrash glanced at Artanis standing beside Joshua, then lowered his head and did not continue.
"Tell me, Archbishop Artanis is also a part of my territory, he should know this." Joshua saw the hesitation of the humanoid blue dragon, and waved his hand: "But Sukras, more than half a year has passed since this incident. Yes, why are you asking now?"
The warrior's tone was relaxed, but Blue Dragon couldn't treat it as indifferent. He immediately wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the warrior: "Forget it. It's not a big deal, just tell me."
—What an unexpected tolerance. Half-kneeling on the ground, Sukrash smiled bitterly in his heart.
The beginning of this matter goes back to more than half a year ago, when Joshua took his knights and a large group of students from the Winter Castle Academy to the Mist of Divine Calm for a trial.
There is no need to talk about the specific situation. Generally speaking, when Sukrash was patrolling around the Mist of Divine Calamity to ensure the safety of the group of knights and students undergoing trials, he discovered two humanoid five-color giant dragons that were peeping in the dark. .
At that time, Joshua had already gone deep into the mist of God's disaster. In order to avoid accidents, the blue dragon simply captured the two humanoid dragons and took them back to Winter Castle, where they were guarded by a group of mentors. The warrior also knew after returning Knowing this, he ordered, wanting to know how the two dragons came all the way from the gathering place of the five-color dragons to the north, and also wanted to know what the situation of the five-color dragons was like now.
Among the mages in Winter Castle, there are no talents who are good at torture, and few are proficient in dragon language. The one who is proficient in dragon language is currently taking care of more than a dozen white dragon cubs and is very busy. So it can only be done by Blue Dragon, who is also a prisoner of war. And because of fear and some inexplicable feelings, Sukrash simply agreed to this request.
But now, he had asked for the news he wanted, so Blue Dragon hurried over, wanting to inform the warrior of this important information as soon as possible.
"The five-color giant dragons have collectively settled in the abyss... I just learned about this from the mouth of the demon over there." Listening to Sukrash's report in silence, the soldier nodded: "But I don't know that they are in the abyss. One hundred and sixty-two floors, you continue."
With the corner of his eye, Sukrash glanced at the flame demon next to him that had been completely extinguished and was lying on the ground like a big ball of mud. He swallowed carefully, and then continued to narrate what he knew seriously. everything.
Archbishop Artanis remained silent throughout the whole process. He seemed to care more about the warrior's emotions at this time than the various information the Blue Dragon said.
"As expected, do you want to seize the Mist of God's Calamity? They can't succeed. Unless the Dragon God, no god will choose the Astral Dragon as his successor."
After a few minutes, as the blue dragon's summary narrative ended, Joshua nodded slightly and said, with no emotion visible in his eyes: "As I thought, the abyss lord who traded with the five-color dragon is the sixth-level melter. The Demon King of the Sea Fire Hell... required that some of the Demon Blood Dragons must join his army, helped the five-color dragons stir up chaos in the Mycrof Continent, and also provided them with an ownerless abyss as a habitat. Ha, now It’s the Dragon Sleeping Abyss.”
"The other two five-color dragon kings still haven't come back. It seems that Igor and I were wrong. They should have really disappeared, rather than staying in the abyss or somewhere in the world as backup... You can inform the Church of the Seven Gods and let them take a moment. Lower your guard a bit.”
"But what surprises me the most is this list - how did you get them to tell information about other dragons that transformed into human forms? Logically speaking, this kind of encrypted information cannot be found even by soul search. At most, it makes them turn into human beings. Become an idiot."
At this point, Joshua's voice finally contained a trace of doubt.
"Because of your power, my lord, these messages are their own."
And Sukrash said respectfully: "Actually, except for the first time to confirm whether they were lying, I used some soul spells, it was useless at other times - to use your name and threaten them to think about themselves." In the future, and took them to the main city gate (dragon head remains), the two giant dragons quickly entertained them all. In the past six months, in addition to decrypting their souls, I have been using I want to get more information about the connection between the two of them and the Five Color Dragon Clan."
"Well done, Sukrash. I even don't understand why you work so hard."
Joshua frowned. He couldn't tell that it was because his name was so powerful? ’ was confused, but because the news about the five-color dragon was very important, he subconsciously became serious, but immediately, the soldier said calmly: "In the final analysis, you are still my prisoner of war, and the five-color dragon clan is also your same clan, why would you Are you so eager to help me deal with your fellow tribesmen?"
Because of many reasons - the five-color dragon clan has decided that I am a traitor, and now that the whole world is on guard against dragons, I have nowhere to go but here... Before Sukrash could finish brewing the words in his heart, Joshua He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "If you think about it carefully, you have indeed never killed anyone. So Sukrash, because of your efforts, you are no longer my prisoner of war from now on, you are free."
"If you still want to continue working for me, report to Winterfort College tomorrow morning. You will get a salary that is consistent with your status. If you don't want to, you can leave now."
After saying that, he turned his head and said to Archbishop Artanis beside him: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Master Jostradamus to inquire about the time and space coordinates. If it is determined that a certain one matches, then the territory will be handed over again. You and No. 3 are in charge."
"It should be done." The old bishop nodded solemnly: "My lord."
Then, the warrior ignored the shocked blue dragon and just rose into the sky, flying towards the main city of Moldavia.
The humanoid blue dragon still maintained a half-kneeling posture, and the young elf Lanfa didn't stand up for a long time. The sudden good news filled his heart with the excitement of regaining freedom and an inexplicable absurdity.
How could he do this
Why
The blue dragon Sukrash was incomprehensible.
There are always some characters in this world who are more powerful than the naturally extraordinary dragon, and whose thoughts are more elusive than the ever-changing dragon.
His nominal master—no, not anymore—his lord has many rumors in the outside world. Even the giant dragon has heard about it. Everyone said that this warrior from the North is so fearless of life and death that he fights well. The process is full of frightening ferocity and violence.
Everyone has the same impression of this new legendary warrior. He is serious, silent, cruel, ruthless and unforgiving.
He hardly looked like a human being, but like a humanoid fighting machine.
But this is not the case. During a year of working with this warrior who was rumored to be about to become the humanoid Demon King of the Abyss, Blue Dragon was shocked to discover that his lord was not cruel, cold, or ruthless and could also forgive, and Everyone in the outside world thinks differently. Joshua Van Radcliffe is only obsessed with fighting.
Yes, he does not look like a human being.
The blue dragon stood up slowly. He silently swept away the dirt on his knees and looked up in the direction where Joshua left. Sukrash recalled the soldier's calm and indifferent tone when he said to him, "You are free." and eyes.
When there is no battle or enemy, when he is not with his friends, or when he is not with his weapons, the man's eyes are always like this, calm, indifferent, without any emotion in them, as if they contain everything, and they are as if they are all in one piece. Void.
This kind of gaze is simply... like those high heavens standing above the clouds, looking down from the boundless heaven. Looking down at the earth and mountains, we are the same as all living beings.
Just now, there was Archbishop Artanis, an acquaintance, beside him.
Sukrash thought this, and he couldn't help but think - if there was no one beside Joshua, if he had no friends, no relatives, no existence worth caring about in this world, what would happen to his eyes
The blue dragon did not continue to think about it. After saying goodbye to the archbishop beside him, he also rose up, transformed into the body of a giant dragon, and flew towards the direction of Wintercastle Academy.
After Joshua and the Blue Dragon left, the old bishop stood alone in the plain on the outskirts of the city and thought for a long time. When the stars began to dissipate and the dawn light rose from the horizon, Artanis, who was standing there like a statue, trembled slightly and then sighed.
The old bishop turned around and looked to the south, towards the direction of the main city of Moldavia. He looked towards the direction of the Holy Mountain of the Church of the Seven Gods on the far sea, with a silvery holy light flashing in his eyes.
"His Majesty the Pope, you are right."
He whispered to himself softly, and murmured with a hint of worry: "Apart from exploration and fighting, he began to be a little indifferent to other things... Although it is said that his natural personality is like this, there is no doubt."
"Divinity has affected him unconsciously."

The laptop is really broken. Now I use an old desktop. The old keyboard is very uncomfortable to use. There are probably many typos...
