Chapter 321: The Dragon Valley! Part-2.
"Wait, if the place that's meant for guests is made in a location where the supposed 'lowly- beings' are, then doesn't that mean that the guests are also considered 'lowly beings'..."
Upon hearing Liam's words, Gulija smiled slightly and remarked,
"Haha, you are worrying too much over it... Actually, that's exactly how it used to be before the time of the current Dragon King..."
"As the dragon-men are just defective people, dragons didn't used to like us originally; mass-slaughter and other things were common, and we were being treated like slaves..."
Gulija sighed, looked toward the palace, and then spoke.
"But ever since the current dragon king took the throne, things have changed. We live a safe and happy life now, and we are free to use the resources here..."
"The only thing is that we are prohibited from disturbing the resting dragons or trespassing in their nest..."
"Truthfully speaking, a dragon's nest is their home; if you trespass that area, it's your own fault for entering someone else's property... Aside from that, everything is much more ordinary nowadays..."
While the group was walking on the main road with Gulija, many dragon men passed by and couldn't help but stare at the new group of people that came from the outside world.
Gulija felt slightly embarrassed by their actions, so he quickly provided an explanation.
"Well, we don't usually see humans or any other races often, so people are curious and surprised to see you all here..."
Link nodded his head and said,
"Yeah, even I would be surprised if I suddenly saw a three-meter-tall dragon man in the human empire."
Dragon people are genetically very tall; even the shortest of them is 3 meters tall.
They have a stronger physique than an orc, a sharper mind than a human, wings that are faster than the wyverns, and magic that is stronger than the elves.
Dragon men are only weak when compared to true dragons; otherwise, they are indeed very strong when compared to other races.
"Haha, actually, I am more surprised by how humans have such a small physique yet so much power in their fragile-looking body..."
"This is the first time I am seeing humans... and believe, I can feel it with my instincts, except for that cheerful girl; all of you seem insanely strong to me..."
Gulija himself is a peak A ranker, and his physique is much stronger than others; he can easily be considered one of the veterans, yet he feels threatened by Link and others.
Hearing those words, Liam laughed a bit and said,
"Ah, not all humans are as strong as us... We are just the few most talented of our generation..."
Gulija nodded his head at those words,
"Yeah, I can see that..."
Riya pouted her cheeks a bit and said,
"I am not weak; I am a healer, you know! It's unfair to be comparing my combat abilities to Link..."
Gulija was taken aback for a moment and then nodded.
"Ah, is that so? I was wondering why only you had such weak killing intent... Except for you, all of your group members have insanely dense killing intent, especially..."
Gulija glanced at Rio but didn't particularly say it out loud.
As he's very sensitive to the killing intent and murderous aura of a person, he can feel it in his bones that the moment he tries any moves, Rio's sword will slice his head off.
Regardless of whether Gulija has represented himself as a friend or not, Rio has the habit of always keeping his guard up.
"Uh,... Can you stop glaring like that... I will get a heart attack if you keep staring at me like that..."ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
Rio simply shook his head in response to Gulija's words.
"Don't mind me, it's just a habit of mine to observe everything carefully..."
Gulija nodded his head and stopped talking.
At that moment, the group reached a location where a lot of tall horses were standing in wait.
"Everyone, please take the ride. These horses are professionally trained; you won't need any horse-riding skills to ride on them; they are intelligent creatures and will take you all to the palace on their own..."
"Hmm? 'Cursed Death'? What' that? This is the first time I am hearing about something like
that..."
At Link's question, Liam suddenly said,
"Dragon's refers to 'Corruption' and 'Miasma' as 'cursed death'; I read about it in ancient
literature on Dragons..."
Hearing those words, even Rio was curious; he glanced toward Gulija and asked,
"So, even though your Dragon Valley is a separate space of its own, it's still getting affected
by demons and miasma?"
Gulija sighed at those words and said,
"Actually, things are quite severe; all the dungeons that open in the Dragon Valley are filled with miasma and corruption for some reason... Demons pour out of them too..." "That old lady's family members used to work in the dungeon, conquering battalion..."
"Suddenly an SS-rank dungeon opened when they were retreating home, and a giant fire demon walked out of it, and the whole battalion was slaughtered on the spot..."
Gulija glanced towards the Dragon Palace and said,
"Fortunately, the dragon king himself came forward to close the dungeon that was filled with
miasma..."
"But it was too late; tens of thousands had died by that time; it was a disaster of massive scale... That dungeon actually opened in a populated area, and it caused massive damage to
property..."
Hearing those words, Link and others's expressions became solemn.
Currently, it's recorded that there are only one or two SS-rank Demons on the Demon
Continent.
But if what Gulija said is true, then it means that more dungeons filled with demons might have opened in the Demon Empire, and there might be hidden SS-rank demons there now.
'If that is true... then it means that the Demon Race is currently not attacking because they are
still preparing for something big...'
The same thought came to their minds at that moment.
Gulija sighed and said,
"It didn't used to be like that before... This strange phenomenon of demon-filled dungeons
opening has only started seven years ago..."
"As if something has changed with the world itself..."
...
