Make the dragon great again

Chapter 179 Refuge
Back in time not too long ago.

In the eastern part of the mainland, in a mysterious ruin located on the seabed east of the [Griffin Principality] coastline.

The son of the patriarch of the Tomahawk tribe, the lizardman who was pressed by Oleff on the magic circle of the stone gate, has been sucked dry by the magic circle on the stone gate. His body, which was originally strong and powerful under the support of strong blood, has also shriveled at this moment Unbearable, it seems that he is completely dead.

But what made Oleff frowned was that although the huge stone gate in front of him emitted a mysterious light because it had sucked up the blood of a dragonborn, it showed no sign of opening.

"Could it be that more dragonborn blood is needed? Or is it that the blood of this inferior dragonborn is not pure enough, so we must use an awakened dragonborn like Anastasia?"

Before, the dead lizardman had threatened Olef, saying that his tribe was the family of the great dragon Adrian, which aroused Olef's vigilance.

He didn't want to face that dragon lord again, but he didn't turn back when he opened his bow. It was impossible for Olef to let this lizard man go after the ruins were exposed. To stay away from the dragon completely, Olef's best choice is to go all the way to the end and leave the Sirias continent through this stone gate.

But now, this stone door seems to be unable to open because the quality of the "sacrifice" is not good enough?

If the lizard people are just lying and their tribe has nothing to do with Adrian, then Olef can strike hard and grab a lot of lizard people here to try, but if what he said is true, the battle ax The tribe is really Adrian's family, and even all the dragon descendants on the mainland have secretly established a relationship with Adrian, so Olef can't catch them.

As for trying to capture Anastasia again, that is even more of an impossible goal...

Oleff's expression was cloudy and uncertain.

"Damn it! If only Anastasia had been captured three years ago before the dragon appeared and Bechymos was in civil strife..."

But this can only be a delusion. After all, a dragon cannot appear out of thin air. As a naturally awakened powerful dragon descendant, Anastasia is very likely to have come into contact with a dragon earlier. It was very difficult to catch the awakened dragon descendant who was already at the third level at that time and could reach the fourth level after using the blood power for a short time in the vast Mullin forest.

"If it wasn't because I didn't want to expose it in advance, I didn't do it myself and asked William to do it, maybe I have left this continent now..."

Thinking of William, Oleff suddenly recalled a small incident that happened not long ago.

A few days ago, when he was about to leave [Griffinto] and go to the Quintus Great Swamp to capture the Lizardmen, his steward had hesitantly reported a certain "ridiculous report" from the front line to himself:
The grand duke's second son, William V. Griffin, secretly liaised with the dignitaries of the Bechymos Kingdom, and he himself has the blood of the Bechymos royal family. He is probably planning a conspiracy to destroy the Principality of Griffin!

After learning of the 'report' at that time, Oleff just laughed it off and didn't think much about it.

Oleff is very clear about the origin of the "rumor" that William has the blood of the Behemoth royal family.

William's mother, a commoner-born woman, had been rumored to be of the blood of Bechymos because she had the extremely rare silver-white hair color that was the same as that of the Bechymos royal family. William also inherited his mother's blood. Hair color, so this "rumor" was also inherited by him;
In the past, both the Grand Duke and Oleff had fantasies about this rumor, but William's mother was indeed an ordinary citizen of the principality, and William was also ordinary since he was a child. Not even the unlucky Prince Charles of Bechymos can compare.

Therefore, this fantasy gradually faded with the passage of time, so Oleff didn't take this report that he had already "seen it as a surprise" at all.

——Presumably this is another slander against William by the eldest son of the Grand Duke, Paderson?This heir, who is confident on the outside and humble on the inside, always feels that William, a bastard, will take away his inheritance rights...

But now, when he failed to open the door to the "free world" and fell into a dilemma, Oleff recalled this seemingly absurd report...

"Go back and find out who made the report... from the front line confronting Bechymos? William is also on the front line now, so it's hard to say if someone really found some clues by his side..."

Just when Olef regretted that the attempt to open the door failed this time, and was about to leave, and find the next "sacrifice" as soon as possible before the dragon might find out the problem, in a place that he couldn't see, appeared out of nowhere A small space crack was opened, and Olef's fifth-level [Griffon Lord]'s perception did not find this small crack at all.

Immediately afterwards, a mass of thick dark golden liquid floating in the air quickly flew out of the crack in space, and without Oleff noticing, it sank into the magic circle on the stone gate where the bloody light had not dissipated.

The Shimen magic circle, which seemed weak even when it was glowing, immediately climaxed after the dark golden liquid poured into it, as if drinking some kind of potion to revive the masculinity.

Oleff was distracted by the sudden radiance of the stone gate, and temporarily let go of some guesses in his heart, and looked at the huge stone gate again in some astonishment.

I saw that in the magic groove engraved on the stone gate, the originally flowing blood was quickly stained with a layer of obvious dark gold, and at the same time, under the action of some unknown ancient magic, there were constantly various unknown meanings. The ancient runes are disillusioned in it.

Although he didn't know what was going on with this sudden change, Oleff knew that this attempt might not seem like a failure.

Under Oleff's nervous and expectant gaze, the ancient stone gate in front of him, after a few "clicks", cracked into several parts along the scratches of the complex magic formula on it, and floated to the surroundings. Spread out, revealing the scene behind the stone gate.

Oleff couldn't describe what kind of scene it was, distorted, abstract, and unbalanced in proportion, as if a naughty child had randomly splashed a large pool of paint on the water, and the paint was still being divided under the action of the water flow co-authored...

Oleff mobilized the griffin vitality in his body, suppressed the slight nausea caused by seeing the sight that violated the visual inertia of human beings, and kicked the shriveled lizardman corpse on the ground into the twisted passage behind the stone door .

After confirming that the physical entity can indeed step into it, Oleff became a little impatient.

"This... This is the gate leading to the outside world. As long as I pass through here, I will be able to break free from the shackles of the [legendary shackles] and embark on a higher-level path!"

Oleff's breathing became heavier, and the previous depression was swept away, and even the agreement with the Grand Duke to "test first, prepare later and then actually enter" was left behind.

However, although Oleff is extremely eager to get rid of the [Legendary Shackles], with his forbearance of being able to hide his identity for 20 years, it is reasonable to say that he would not act recklessly, but since the stone gate was opened, there seems to be an inexplicable The power of it is attracting him, making him just want to throw away all his worries and step into it...

At this time, bursts of roaring sound came from all around. It seemed that some terrible natural phenomenon happened on the sea surface. The sound penetrated the thick sea water and transmitted to the ruins through resonance with the rock formation.

"No, this can't be a natural phenomenon. It must be some kind of unnatural and extraordinary phenomenon caused by opening the door. I must leave here immediately!"

Oleff said so, but without thinking too much, he stepped into the distorted space behind the stone gate.

After entering the passage, all the scenes in front of me turned into distorted and overlapping color blocks, and it was impossible to recognize the direction at all, and the sense of distance of the creatures also failed here.

But there seemed to be a voice in Oleff's ear telling him which direction was the "correct" way, making him subconsciously walk in a direction where he couldn't tell up, down, left, or right.

The roar of thunder from the outside even entered the channel, Oleff became a little hurried, and the voice in his ears seemed to speed up his speech.

After an unknown amount of time, a clear golden light spot suddenly appeared in the chaotic scene in front of him, constantly emitting pure golden light, in stark contrast to the surrounding chaos.

Oleff quickened his pace excitedly, but he couldn't shorten the distance to the luminous point at all.

When he became anxious, the luminous place suddenly enlarged from a point to cover Oleff's entire field of vision, completely excluding the distorted color blocks.

At this moment, the muffled murmurs in Olef's ears suddenly became clear.

"...The world suffers, but only the Holy Spirit loves the world...Being devout, washing away original sins, and repaying the grace and glory of the Holy Spirit's salvation...The Holy Spirit casts the kingdom of God in heaven, and believers gain eternal life after death..."

A series of increasingly clear murmurs echoed in Oleff's ears. The will and vigilance of a fifth-order transcendent made Oleff subconsciously want to do something, but at this moment, the sight in front of him suddenly occupied his entire field of vision. In the pure golden light, a fuzzy figure with four wings on his back and a white robe appeared in Oleff's eyes.

Oleff's eyes gradually changed from struggling to confused, and then to pious, and after the golden figure shrouded in holy light lightly tapped the scepter on Oleff's head, this man in Ciri The [Golden Lion], who is well-known in the Yas Continent, but is depressed because of the reappearance of the dragon, has a touch of extreme fanaticism in his eyes.

Some kind of powerful spiritual stamp has been planted deep in his heart...

"...Go back, my child, go back to that land of sin and curse, and do what you should do..."

A hollow voice with indistinguishable gender rang clearly in Oleff's ear.

"Holy Spirit that guards Ella, you are the salvation of all lives and souls, you are the Lord of our eternal faith... May all living beings hallow your name, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth, Like walking in Paradise in the sky..."

In a daze, Oleff was pushed back to the entrance by a force.

When Oleff woke up, what he saw was the huge stone gate that had been closed again, and he returned to the ruins. If it wasn't for the roar from the outside world that didn't stop for a moment, and even had a tendency to intensify, what happened just now was like a dream. , It seems that nothing happened at all.

"I am..."

Oleff reached out and rubbed his forehead with a pensive look on his face.

"That's right! I want to leave here immediately, I want to go back and contact the believers who lost contact with my lord on this cursed continent! I also want to investigate the secret of the dragon's resurrection... Also, I want to find The 'forerunners' who entered this evil place two 264 years ago..."

Oleff straightened up again, and the sharp light in his eyes recovered. He came out of the previous confusion, and the demeanor of the [Gold Earl] returned again.

However, this [Griffon Lord] was completely unaware of the complete change in his thinking...

……

To be continued, change first and then change.
