Chapter 412: Heaven Hound's warning
"Brother, faster!"
Ling Yi pulled me towards the side of one of the tables and tossed me some meat. He said, "Eat it right away and then rest. We only have 6 hours of rest, once we wake we need to head out again!"
"Oh..."
The meat was a little dry but it was still okay, at least it tasted like meat.
After wolving it down, Ling Yi fell asleep. He tapped the bedding next to him and said something disgusting, "Brother, let's sleep together!"
But, I still laid down.
Around us were all people, some were from Blood Dynasty, some were dwarves, there were even some really handsome elves. As for humans, there were more of us. What surprised me was that there were many undead, who knew whether or not they were from Black Castle or Hybrid Demon Territory.
...
I laid down and couldn't sleep at all, time to find a chance to dip!
Act like I was sleeping!
Just like that, I was half asleep. Suddenly my mind buzzed and my Darkness Spiritual Ruin started to buzz too like some power was waking up. An old voice appeared in my mind, "Kid... You are finally here, I ... Have waited such a long time..."
"Who? !"
I sat up in a panic.
"Calm down."
His voice was really low and calm, "I can sense... Your body has the aura of Black Castle, you are from there right?"
"Right, who are you?" I said honestly.
"Same as you, I am from Black Castle too."
His voice was really old, "But I have been trapped for ten thousand years, maybe... Many people can't remember my name anymore..."
"You... Who are you?" I frowned.
"I am the Dragonrider."
His gaze was calm,
"In Black Castle, they called me Elder Dragon. As time passed, people who remembered me are probably all dust, only I... Have been trapped here, unable to be free..."
I sucked in a deep breath, "Elder Dragon, you are... Someone from the Black Castle branch right?"
"Ah? !"
His voice shook and he gave out a bitter smile, "I didn't expect there to be people who remember the first branch of Black Castle, I didn't expect..."
My heart lit up, "Black Castle hasn't forgotten about you and this branch which is why I am here. I am here for you, Elder Dragon, can you tell me... Why this branch would fall?"
I laughed, "Brother Dog, why did you suddenly speak? Long time no see, you can actually talk to me when I am outside Bright Moon Pass, not bad not bad."
"I am not joking with you."
Heaven Hound's voice was really serious, "Although this old fellow said that he was trapped for ten thousand years but he is actually imprisoning himself to protect the Dragon Soul Essence."
"I know that."
"Do you understand the soul?" His voice trembled, "Do you understand how evil and terrifying the Black Dragon Race is? Moreover, this is a Dark Dragon God soul, once it appears do you know what it means? Maybe your small action might lead to a calamity for the human race."
I said seriously, "Brother Dog, are you afraid of the Dark Dragon God?"
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Darkness Dragon God is a power that exceeds this material plane and isn't something the humans or undying race can control. Ten thousand years ago Black Castle wanted to use the soul to deal with Blood Dynasty. They were just playing with fire. If you unlock it, you will regret it!"
I nodded, "I understand but with the quest, what can I do? Brother Dog you don't understand, I have no choice."
"Scoff!"
He shouted in rage, "Do you know what you are doing? The price that you are going to pay, can you pay it?"
"Don't worry."
I frowned, "I shall take responsibility."
"That's great!"
Heaven Hound cut off the connection. I couldn't sense his aura and he sounded really angry. I had no choice. Heaven Hound was cunning and I might not believe his words. What else could I do? Could I give up on this SSS Grade quest because of his words?
I only had a thought. Since things had reached this stage, there was no point in hesitating. Even if the heavens started collapsing, I will hold it up!
...
At that moment, a few people appeared at the entrance.
One person at the front was dressed in a red robe and above his head was the mark Hai Xingchen. He was a muscular guy and beside him was Lei Buming. He was in blue armor and he had a slight smile.
Apart from the two of them, there were a bunch of Dragon Soul Hall generals. I looked at them with Shifang Flame Spiral Eye and their grades all appeared. The highest was a level 103 Legendary Grade Boss. The weakest was a level 100 Quasi Unique Grade Boss. Anyways, if I were to kill this bunch, it might take a full day.
"Hall Head, please!"
Lei Buming raised his hand and respectfully directed Hai Xingchen to his throne. He sat at the side and so did the generals.
Hai Xingchen raised his wine cup and smiled, "We won't return unless we get drunk today!"
"Okay, I had that intention!"
They raised their wine cups and all of them smiled.
...
I rested on the head of the statue and glanced at the feast before closing my eyes. They looked really polite but in a while, they would smash their cups as a signal. When the time comes, I will take the chance!
