Make the dragon great again

Chapter 35 The Duchess

On the northeastern coastline of the Bechymos Kingdom, there is a steep mountain range that stretches for more than ten kilometers along the coastline.

The sky in this area is shrouded in thunderclouds all the year round, and there are often dull thunders above the clouds, hence the name "Land of Thunder".

At the same time, in this land shrouded in thunder, there is also the political center of the Kingdom of Bechymos - the capital "Wind and Thunder City".

Legend has it that the royal family of Bechymos is descended from giant dragons. Their ancestors once possessed the talent to master strong wind and thunder. The vision of the "Land of Thunder" shrouded in thunder clouds all the year round is the soul of the ancestor of Bechymos. Symbol of the land.

However, in the past 200 years, for some reason, the Behemoth royal family no longer propagated their "ancestral dragon descent theory", and many large-scale activities to worship dragons have gradually disappeared.

Today, most of the residents of the Kingdom of Behemoth no longer remember the glory of the Kingdom once calling itself the Kingdom of Dragonborn, and do not understand what the alien beasts depicted on the kingdom's totem are.

Only a small number of aristocratic families whose families have been passed down for more than 200 years still remember what the beast totem represents...

The side of the "Land of Thunder" facing the sea is a steep cliff, while the side facing the inland is still rocky, but the terrain is a little flat anyway. The Land of Thunder' is built on the inland side of the mountain.

The royal palace is located on the top of the main peak of the 'Land of Thunder', overlooking the whole picture of 'Wind and Thunder City' to the south, and the land of ancestors hanging alone on the sea to the north.

On the top floor of the tower of the side hall of the royal palace, a white-haired aristocratic woman with a stunning appearance who looked to be in her thirties was looking at the land of the ancestors of Behemoth on the Sea of ​​Ellens in the north.

A female guard knocked on the door and said:
"Miss Elizabeth, Rex's team and Griffin's team have all been confirmed to be out of contact, and the judgment time was three days ago at the latest."

"Call me Duke, Lillian."

The aristocratic woman called 'Miss Elizabeth' kept her gaze unchanged and continued:

"Is Granny moving so fast?"

"Miss, regarding this point, our people in Quintus have reported through long-distance communication magic that Ms. Glennie does not seem to have left the Kunas ruins."

Elizabeth turned around and opened a delicate box on the table. Inside was a broken tooth that had completely lost its luster.

If Rex, who was in a missing state, saw this broken tooth, he would definitely recognize that it was the upper part of the tooth-shaped necklace that he had received from the duchess.

This 'Miss Elizabeth' is exactly the 'Duke Ketton' who entrusted Rex to pursue Anastasia, and is also the Dragonborn that Adrian knew, who was suspected to have awakened!

Elizabeth muttered to herself:

"Stuhl's broken tooth has completely lost its effect. Rex must have met a dragonborn who is strong enough, but this person is not Grainy?"

The female guard Lilian asked thoughtfully:

"Miss, could it be Her Highness Anastasia who has further awakened her power?"

After a moment of silence, Elizabeth shook her head and replied:
"The possibility is too small, she hasn't reached the fourth level yet, and the triggering criterion for Stuart's Broken Tooth is the approach of a fifth-level dragon bloodline... Also, call me Duke, Lillian."

"Okay, miss."

Lilian, the female guard, kept her expression unchanged. Before Elizabeth spoke, she continued:

"Miss, someone from Griffin has sent another inquiry letter, and the content is still the same as yesterday. Do you need to read it?"

"No, just reply as before, and delay for a while."

Elizabeth pondered for a moment, and added:
"Add a word, say that we have sent a second team, and there will be news soon, let them maintain the current situation on the battlefield."

"Yes, miss."

"...call me Duke."

"Okay, miss."

……

[Wandering Swordsman] Rex, who was labeled as a "Mission Failed" by a certain duchess, was following a rookie adventurer team with a dejected expression.

Along with him, there is [Speed ​​Sword] Coleman who is as famous as him in the Eastern Guild, and Duke Griffin's second son William with a complex expression.

Five days have passed since they experienced the ups and downs of their lives in a certain dungeon and saw the mythical creature fantasy dragon.

Five days ago, they were branded spiritually by a pure white dragon who turned into a half-elf youth, and were asked to pretend to be his adventurer friends and join this rookie adventurer team together.

Among them, Rex and Coleman did not think of escaping, but every time they tried to escape, the ferocious mental imprint in their consciousness would turn into sharp blades and split their spirits, making it impossible for them to leave a certain 'half-elf' 50 meters range.

As for William, his mood was much more complicated than Rex's.

William has always regarded his Bechymos bloodline as a shame, thinking that if it weren't for the power of this damned bloodline, he would have cultivated the vitality of the golden griffin long ago, and slapped those who despise him fiercely.

The blood of the Behemoth royal family is said to come from a dragon, but what is a dragon? An ancient species that went extinct 1 years ago, and may well be a fantasy at all!William didn't want such a bloodline at all!
It is nothing more than a gilded inheritance based on ancient legends. It is more plausible than the ancient legends made by anyone. The Principality of Griffin also advocates every day that the vitality of the golden griffin is directly given by the ancient gods!

However, William's mentality of contempt for the blood of the Bechymos royal family was shattered into pieces by reality five days ago.

The dragon is real, and powerful enough to easily beat Edmund, whom he thought invincible, into submission.

Oh, by the way, that's not the real Edmund, but the Lich Alvarez pretending to be Edmund. As for the real Edmund, he surrendered to the terrifying dragon earlier...

William had secretly arranged many times before, only waiting for the "Dark Mage" to launch the blood curse, and he would be able to counter the opponent in one fell swoop, but this kind of thinking has been ruthlessly broken after seeing the true strength of the Lich;

And after seeing a dragon more powerful than a lich, William has even doubted his life.

This is the dragon?The blood of Bechymos inherited the power of this mythical creature?Then I was obsessed with washing away the Bechymos blood from my body, why?
This kind of self-doubt, William has been going on all the time for the past five days...

"Hey."

A call that was not very polite and did not conform to noble etiquette brought William's thinking back to reality.

He saw a girl in an adventurer mage's short robe walking towards him together with a white-haired swordsman girl in full leather armor.

It was the magician girl who stopped him, but William's gaze focused on another white-haired girl.

'This person is Anastasia, a dragonborn who has awakened the power of the dragon! '

It was Anna and Sally who came here. As for why they found William...

Sally leaned against William, and asked in a low voice with a delicate expression:

"Well, Mr. Will, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Ed? How far has it gone?"

"……what?"
