Heart of the Castle

Chapter 572 The Wrath of the Emerald Dragon King

An elf man stands in front of the window on the highest floor of the famous Evergreen Tower in Moonwhisper Forest, holding on to the exquisite guardrail made of green vines, and staring at the northern sky.Compared with ordinary elves, his figure is unusually tall and burly, but there is no trace of fat. His thin face has sharp lines and an indifferent expression. From a distance, he looks like a statue carved with white jade.

The man was wearing a robe with a strong elf style. The color was green like a forest shade, and strange rays of light flickered endlessly on the surface of the robe. However, it was different from the high elves' luxurious living habits. A gold wrist ring on the man's right hand is considered an ornament.

It looked like this man was no different from a young elf, but the tens of thousands of elves living in the Moonwhispering Forest would not mistake his identity.That wasn't a flaw in the ultimate transformation technique he performed, but just the unique aura lingering on his body that couldn't be concealed by any means at all.

That is the breath exclusive to the legendary powerhouse.

This man is the Emerald Dragon King Zhanqing? Augustus, whose status is so noble that he can stand against the supreme queen of the elves; and his strength is even more powerful, and he has firmly entered the legend hundreds of years ago. realm.The members of the emerald giant dragon clan are few, and even counting the juvenile dragons, the number of individuals is less than ten.But even so, they can still be called the most powerful group in the Moon Whisper Forest.

The most powerful, not the most powerful.

As one of the five high-level dragon clans, the emerald giant dragon possesses legendary terrifying strength after adulthood, but even so, compared with the elf clan with dozens of great magisters and sword-wielding counts, the comprehensive power of the emerald giant dragon clan The strength is still slightly inferior.It's just that because she has dealt with these self-esteemed giant dragons for thousands of years, the Elf Queen already knows their temper very well.The giant dragons all have one thing in common, that is, everything is only for their own sake, they are extremely obsessed with treasure, and they are easily moved by respectful attitudes and humble words.The degree of this varies among the various branches of dragons, but in general there is no difference.

Although elves are also a proud race, they are not ignorant of flexibility. When a respectful attitude is more effective than sharp arrows, elves can also lower their heads.This is exactly how it is now. The Emerald Dragon claims to be the king of the Moonwhispering Forest, and it has indeed been unanimously recognized by all ethnic groups including the elves. However, the actual power does not belong to them, but is firmly in the hands of the elves. hands of the clan.The two have coexisted in the Moon Whispering Forest in a strange and harmonious way, and have passed through thousands of years.

The last rays of the setting sun gradually faded, the sky gradually turned from indigo to pitch black, and the planets appeared one after another on the dark sky, blinking their cold and merciless eyes towards the earth.Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Zhan Qing? Augustus looked away from the northern skyline, his face that seemed to be forever unaffected by time was carved with a little trace of worry.

Walking into the room was an elf wearing exquisite mithril mail, with a delicate and complicated thorn sword hanging from his waist. The natures of the races are quite alike.When he just walked into the room, the elf looked at the Emerald Dragon King's back with a little contempt, but it turned into complete reverence in an instant.

"Still no green diamonds? Any news from Sorge?" The Emerald Dragon King asked. There was a big difference between the voice and the elf's, deep and stable, and with a strange echo.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty Augustus." The elf replied in a respectful and apologetic voice, and at the same time bowed deeply, "The Zhifengniao has searched the Moon Whispering Forest and the nearby hundreds of kilometers away. The last news we got was the same as the last time. His Highness Sorge flew north a week ago, and we haven’t heard from him since then.”

"Then what about the other thing I entrusted to you? What conclusion did the stargazer union's astrological prediction ceremony come to?" Zhan Qing? Augustus' eyes flickered, and he continued to ask in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty Augustus, the Elf family attaches great importance to your will. Master Perseus, the chief singer of the Stargazer Union, personally presided over the image prophecy ceremony, and ten high-level stargazer masters participated. Among them." The elf bowed deeply again, and the mithril mail armor made a fuzzy sound of metal friction, "The Star Gazer Union held such a grand astrology prophecy ceremony, the scale is so large, this is the first time in the past hundred years."

Zhan Qing? Augustus moved his neck stiffly twice, which looked like a slight nod, but the movement was so subtle that the elf couldn't even be sure if he really saw it.

"However, the result of the prophecy is not optimistic. I can only confirm that His Highness Sorge's life is not threatened, but it is impossible to determine the exact location of His Highness." The elf finished the rest of the sentence in one breath.

The Emerald Dragon King's expression has not changed, but his face has become gloomy. "The stargazer union's astrological prediction ceremony has never made a mistake. Unless the predicted object is dead, he can definitely know his position." He said The voice was surprisingly heavy, and an invisible pressure emerged from the body of the Emerald Dragon King, making the elf a little breathless.

"Your Majesty Augustus..." The elf stopped uncomfortably, beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead, his hands moved his fingers unnaturally, he took a few hard breaths, trying to continue Talking, but found that I couldn't even utter a word.

The Emerald Dragon King realized that the pressure he had inadvertently radiated had disturbed the elves, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, and then he coughed lightly, and the invisible pressure filling the room disappeared without a trace. "Sorry, my mistake." He explained to the elf, but his tone was not apologetic.

The elf cleared his throat again, and finally found his voice. "Your Majesty Augustus, your majesty can make the earth tremble, your voice can shake the sky, from east to west, from south to north, who dares not bow their heads to you in the Moonwhispering Forest? But can you change the course of the stars, can you make the golden sun rise in the west?"

Even if it is not an exaggeration to regard the elf's words as a certain degree of offense, but the emerald dragon king Zhanqing? Augustus was not angry, but there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"No, you can't, you can't do it, even you, the legendary powerhouse and the Emerald Dragon King, can't do it. The eternal starry sky has never changed its trajectory because of some mortal power, unless you To be able to ascend to that eternal great realm." The elf said more and more plausibly, and Zhan Qing? Augustus' eyes became more and more astonished.

"You mean...a god personally interfered with the astrology prophecy ceremony of the Star Gazer Union?" the Emerald Dragon King couldn't help but interrupted.

"I'm afraid that even if the gods didn't do it themselves, it would be done by the saints favored by the gods." The elf replied with a solemn expression, and at the same time pressed his hands on the position on his chest - that was the elves who mentioned It is the etiquette to pay proper respect to the gods you do not believe in. "There are not many people who can do this, but there are definitely not many. The archbishop of the Temple of Radiance, His Majesty the Emperor of Light Donatello is one of them; the supreme leader of the comforters of the Dormition Church, the High Priest of Eternal Sleep Ermu Fasha is also one, and maybe one or two other saints who are favored by the gods can also do it..."

Zhan Qing? Augustus' cheeks twitched slightly, and a faint haze gathered between his brows.The elf bowed deeply in front of him, without saying a word, letting the suffocating silence envelope the room.After a full minute, the Emerald Dragon King sighed softly, "Since this is the case, go down, and don't tell anyone else about this, especially Her Majesty the Elf Queen."

"I obey, Your Majesty Augustus." The elf swallowed involuntarily, then straightened up, "Then, I will take my leave."

Seeing the back of the elf disappearing behind the door, Zhan Qing? Augustus's mood became even more gloomy. Although his expression was still calm, the flames of restlessness were faintly burning in his dark green eyes.

"Poor little Sorge... my son!" A sudden howl ripped through the quiet night like a sharp knife. Even though the door was tightly closed, the sound was still extremely sharp and piercing.Zhan Qing? Augustus frowned, as if thinking of something, then he quickly left the window and walked towards the door.

His movements cannot be said to be slow, but it is still too late.Before the Emerald Dragon King's hand touched the door, there was a strange cracking sound, and the thick door panel exploded abruptly in front of him, and then a petite person crashed in like a shooting star. , Countless dust and sawdust rolled up behind him.

Of course, the Emerald Dragon King could dodge this attack, but he didn't even have this kind of thought at all. He opened his hands and firmly caught the petite figure.A suffocating strong wind broke out from between the two of them, sweeping down all the furnishings in the room, not a single bottle was spared, and the originally luxurious and comfortable room was suddenly devastated.

This collision was comparable to a full-strength blow from a knight who had mastered the fighting spirit. Even with the strength of Zhanqing Augustus, his body was shaken and his chest felt tight.But what made him smile even more was the next movement of the figure. The soft flesh on both sides of his waist suddenly felt severe pain, and the figure had already pinched it with his fingers and twisted it forcefully.

Even though the body's defense power has been reduced by transforming into an elf, Zhan Qing? Augustus is still worthy of the title of legendary powerhouse. The skin that looks as delicate as jade is actually harder than steel, not to mention Fingers, or even magic weapons of slightly lower quality, might not even leave a trace if they are not held by someone with a sword-wielding earl or higher.

But when the party holding the soft flesh is also a legendary powerhouse, the situation is different.Zhan Qing? Augustus finally suppressed the screams that burned his lips like burning coals, and maintained the dignity of the Emerald Dragon King in front of outsiders. "Astena, Astena, my queen, please calm down... Aw..."

The emerald dragon king Zhanqing? Augustus' screams were drowned in even more terrifying screams. Emerald dragon empress Blaze? Astena's short-range screams were extremely lethal, enough to boil the brains of ordinary people , and even blasted their skulls.Fortunately, Zhanqing? Augustus can still bear it, but he feels tingling in his ears, pain in his waist, and blackness in front of his eyes.

"Little Sorge, my precious son! Who is it? Who dares to hurt your tender skin? Who pierced your chest with a cruel blade and took the blood of your heart!"

Zhan Qing? Augustus's face suddenly became extremely cold, "Someone hurt Sorge? Hurt my son?" His voice was like thunder blasting in the sky, suppressing BlazBlue Astana's voice. Screaming, anger suddenly ignited in his dark green eyes, and the sockets of his eyes exploded with cold light, and the pupils later evolved into golden-red vertical pupils unique to dragons. "Astena, my queen, tell me, where are those people?"

"Thousands of kilometers away to the north! I know, I know, that's where the little Sorge's aura disappeared!" BlazBlue Astana was taken aback by the emerald dragon king's furious reaction, and then calmed down , the sound has become less sharp, but for ordinary people it is still sharp enough to pierce the eardrum. "Augustus, we must go find the baby and take revenge on those who dared to hurt him!"

"Is this the only reason?" Zhan Qing? Augustus's anger calmed down a bit, he shook his head in disapproval, "My queen, this reason is not enough, I have entrusted the stargazer among the elves The astrology prophecy ceremony was performed, but the result was not satisfactory, a strange mysterious force blocked the prying eyes of the stars, and only learned that the green diamond? Sorge is not dead now..."

"Fuck your horoscope prophecy! Green Diamond? Sorge... How cruel is this tone, the Green Diamond you said? Sorge is my precious son, and also yours!" BlazBlue Astor Na's voice suddenly rose, and this time even the elf guards outside the Evergreen Tower couldn't help covering their ears with their hands, trying to alleviate the terrible pain like a red-hot steel needle piercing the eardrum. "Ha, I see, the strange and mysterious power that prevents stargazers from prying eyes? Augustus, I have recognized your cowardice. Is this why you are hiding in the room and trembling, unwilling to go to the north to retrieve the treasure? ?”

"Zhan Qing? Augustus has never been afraid of anything!" The Emerald Dragon King's face turned blue with anger, "Whoever it is, as long as there is evidence that he hurt my son, I will make him pay unimaginable sacrifices." A heavy price! But does that mean that you can retaliate indiscriminately and make enemies at will? Although the individual strength of human beings is not worth mentioning, their numbers are extremely large, which is also the characteristic of their race. If they can kill each other, I doubt even the whole continent is enough for them to live in."

"Then do you still fear the power of those ants?"

"This is not fear, but the rationality that a king should have. My behavior not only represents myself, but also includes the position of the dragon family. It is impossible for the legendary strong among humans to pay attention. If I The fire of revenge has indeed burned the chief culprit who hurt Sorge, so even if the legendary human beings want to stop it, they have to consider the price of completely angering the dragon clan, but if it hurts the innocent, it may even be in the wrong direction. ..." Zhanqing? Augustus took a deep breath, suppressed the boiling anger in his chest, and said in a voice as calm as possible. "Asterna, my queen, we must first find out the whereabouts of Sorge, and then decide what to do."

"Fuck your rationality that a king should have!" BlazBlue Astena spat at her feet, a thin and bright green line of fire immediately burned the floor that was entwined with traces of green into a thin layer. holes.Then Emerald Dragon Empress spewed out a series of curses, the level of obscenity even a demon warlock who specializes in curses would be amazed.

"...If you are willing to stay here to 'shrink your eggs', I will go to the north by myself to find little Sorge and my precious son!"

"Shrinking eggs..." Zhan Qing? Augustus's face had turned livid, and he let out a creak.For egg-laying giant dragons, the vicious curse of "shrinking eggs" is on the same level as humans cursing each other to "return to the mother's womb". , I am afraid they will all be furious.

"In that case, my queen, you have convinced me!" Zhan Qing? Augustus's voice was as cold as stone, and the vertical pupils unique to the dragon race appeared again, but this time the Emerald Dragon King did not suppress his instinct, He strode towards the window, then jumped out.

Zhan Qing? Augustus’s body leaped into the void, but he didn’t fall. Instead, his whole body glowed like a pure emerald. His elven face suddenly elongated, and his mouth became longer. In the longest part, two rows of white fangs are exposed between the slightly opened upper and lower jaws.His arms and legs were growing rapidly, his palms were twisted into terrifying sharp claws, the shoes on his feet made two popping sounds, and then the voice-changing fragments fell from the air, and something behind him suddenly expanded violently, swelling the robe up.

Then, a bright green light engulfed everything.

When the surroundings dimmed again, what appeared next to the Evergreen Tower was an incomparably huge emerald dragon, with a full 60-meter-long body floating proudly in the air, displaying a thrilling power and beauty.
