Make the dragon great again

Chapter 42 The ancient contract (seeking tickets for investment!)

Through the narration of the old priest of the lizardman, an ancient history gradually restored in Adrian's mind...

It is now 3362 of the Sirias Continental Calendar, which is 3362 of the Third Era.

In the third era, the connection between the continents has been broken long ago. The civilization on the Esirias continent now directly replaces the long-lost Ella world calendar with the continental calendar.

In the Sirias Continent in the third era, the order of civilization was dominated by the Gaia species, the Longevity species hid themselves, and the Phantasmal species had long since disappeared.

But in the second era, immortal species and fantasy species are often seen. These extraordinary races beyond the imagination of today's Gaia species can easily cross the ocean and visit other continents as usual. On the vast ocean, those who are regarded as dead by Gaia species The symbolic natural disaster cannot stop their exploration and communication at all.

It was a golden age in which all races and civilizations flourished, and it was a history dominated by a large number of long-lived species and a few fantasy species.

No one knows how long this period of history lasted. Only some countries or forces with a long history can learn from the surviving ancient books that about 5000 years ago was the peak period of the Second Era.

The Gaia species scholars of the Third Era regarded that period as the watershed between before and after the history of the Second Era, and called it [the middle of the Second Era].

Scholars now speculate that in the middle of the Second Era, a series of events occurred in the world of Ella that caused the second era to turn from prosperity to decline.

At that time, one of the most iconic and still testable events happened in the Sirias Continent——

【Battle of the Misty Sea】.

This is an extraordinary war that broke out between fantasy species. The war directly made the sea area between the Sirias continent and another continent to the south no longer passable.

In this war, the dragon was last seen on the continent of Sirias.

This giant dragon is the last patron saint of the lizardman tribe—the ancient bronze dragon, Kunas.

This bronze dragon that has reached the pinnacle of the ancient species has already reached the rank of [ancient dragon] in the dragon species sequence, and it is a mobile natural disaster that walks in the world!
Today, the harsh climate of the Great Quintus Swamp is largely due to the influence of this bronze ancient dragon, which is extremely good at water, and the battle traces left in the [Battle of the Misty Sea].

At that time, the ancient dragon Kunas did not fall in the battle of the Misty Sea, and even returned safely to the place where his family, the Lizardmen, were enshrined. However...

"You mean, Kunas was attacked and fell by an unknown evil force after returning here?"

Adrian was in disbelief.

He knew exactly how terrifying a giant dragon that reached the rank of ancient dragon would be, and Kunas was able to return safely in an extremely high-intensity phantasmagoric war, but he fell due to a sneak attack afterwards...

"Yes, the ancestral spirit told me that it was a very evil power. Although that power could not defeat Lord Kunas, it corrupted his heart and gradually made him fall into death."

The old priest answered Adrian's question respectfully, while Wahag knelt on the ground with a dejected expression, obviously empathizing with this "ancestor legend".

Adrian frowned. What the old priest knew was second-hand information that had been "translated" by the ancestors of the lizardmen, and after 5000 years of continuous "translation", many key information had long been blurred.

However, the lizard people with such a backward social form are able to preserve a piece of information for 5000 years, which is already quite remarkable.

Even those human countries that claim to be civilized, I am afraid that their understanding of these ancient histories is far inferior to these lizardmen they regard as "inferior species"...

The old priest continued:
"More than 2 years ago, a giant dragon bestowed blessings on the lizardmen, so the lizardmen gained wisdom and vowed to be loyal to the dragon and his descendants forever. Therefore, the lizardmen became the family of the dragon and inherited the giant dragon. Half-dragon people with dragon blood were also born."

"It's been more than 1 years since the last contractor died. It's very rare that you are still fulfilling the agreement."

To be honest, Adrian still admires these lizardmen.

They should have had a glorious civilization, but since the middle of the second era, the Quintus area is no longer suitable for large-scale population gathering. In order to stay here to fulfill the content of the ancient contract, these lizard people sacrificed the growth of their own civilization sex……

The old priest smiled wryly and said:

"Actually, many tribesmen thought the same way. Over the years, many tribes have left here one after another to take root in areas with a better environment. Our Tomahawk tribe is already the last lizardman clan left here. .”

Adrian noticed that when the old priest said this, the patriarch Wahag's expression was a little gloomy, so he asked:

"In the current Tomahawk tribe, some people also advocate leaving?"

Wahag's expression became more depressed, and the old priest sighed and said:

"Yes, since the mutation occurred in Kunas Lake more than 100 years ago, various weird and dangerous incidents have occurred in the vicinity of Kunas Lake from time to time. Now, some young people in the clan don't want to live like this anymore. Many People have already given birth to the idea of ​​leaving here... Among them is Wahag's younger brother Tours."

"He didn't have this idea, he has already escaped!"

Wahag suddenly said something excitedly, and then realized his impoliteness, and quickly apologized to Adrian:
"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Adrian, I..."

"No, I don't care." Adrian stopped Wahag from explaining.

Regarding the "fleeing" of the lizardman patriarch's brother, he can probably think of several good or malicious reasons, but he doesn't care about it now, and he is not interested in knowing for the time being...

Adrian said to the old priest:
"You said that an unknown mutation occurred in Kunas Lake more than 100 years ago, and it would lead to a disaster... What is this mutation going on? And why do you want me to save the 5000 people who have fallen? [-]-year-old bronze dragon Kunas?"

Seeing the point of the topic, the old priest became solemn and replied:

"About 117 years ago, an unknown change occurred at the bottom of the peaceful Kunas Lake. The priest at that time learned from the ancestor spirit that the evil force that led to the fall of Lord Kunas in a sneak attack more than 1 years ago was still alive. It exists in the dragon tomb of Lord Kunas, and has completely eroded the remains of Lord Kunas, and is about to wake up!"

Adrian's pupils shrank.

The remains of an ancient dragon were eroded and revived by unknown forces?Leaving aside whether it is the power of undead magic or not, even if the bones of the ancient dragon are resuscitated, even if it only inherits one-tenth of the power of the ancient dragon, as long as it is full of malice to the world, it is definitely enough to be called a "disaster".

And, 117 years ago, it was the year when he broke out of his shell in the dungeon!
The words of the old priest did not stop.

"...And it was also at that time that we learned that Lord Kunas's dragon soul had never returned to the origin of the world, and had been trapped in the dragon tomb for so many years, preventing that evil force from corroding his legacy. bone;
But since that unknown mutation, the original balance in the Dragon Tomb has been broken, and evil forces have gradually gained the upper hand. Until now, Lord Kunas' remains have been completely eroded! "

Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly, he was not only thinking of the crisis of the lizard people and the status quo of the remnant soul of Kunas...

'The unknown mutation that happened 117 years ago...could it be related to my birth? '

……
