Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

At the same time, in the Grand Holy Hall of the Holy Dragon Empire, things were happening.

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sat on his gilded throne in the magnificent main hall. He looked solemn and serious, and each subtle movement revealed irresistible majesty, making others bow down their heads and avoid his gaze.

Lena, the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire, was also in the hall. She possessed an extremely high status in the Holy Dragon Empire. It was known that a Witch was an oracle, who could communicate with dragons. She was also the only bridge between humans and the dragon. At the same time, the Witch had the same abilities as that of a royal spirit manipulator, and each generation of them was directly designated by the Dragon Master Clan. In the Grand Holy Hall, in addition to the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and Lena, there were also Priest Dean and Alston. Several others too were present who held high authority and position in the Holy Dragon Empire.

Apart from all of them, there was a woman standing in the middle of the main hall. She looked at the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire respectfully.

"Master Mia, what is the progress of the pre-training phase of the 30 royal spirit manipulators?" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire asked calmly.

The woman in the middle of the hall was Mia Lan.

"Your Majesty, everything has gone well so far," Mia arched her hands and answered.

"Twenty-nine of the thirty spirit manipulators were selected by me and I trained them with all my heart. I have confidence in them. However, I am concerned about the last one. He has not even reached the first grade of the Mortal Stage. I assume that he might perform poorly in training. Maybe even has become a drag for the team." Priest Dean spoke before Mia could speak further. Although his statement was euphemistic, everyone in the Grand Holy Hall immediately realized that he was not referring to anyone else but Basil, also known as Rocky. He was the one who accidentally blended the dragon spiritual power of the Holy Dragon Bead with himself, and became a royal spirit manipulator.

"Priest Dean, are you talking about Basil? If you want to say anything, just say it. You don't need to beat around the bush

moment, a guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, we have received a message carried by a pigeon. It comes from the Imperial City Guards saying that General Marcia has returned to the Imperial City."

"She is back? Where is she now?" After the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire heard what the guard reported, there was a tiny glow of joy on his face. He asked immediately about Marcia's whereabouts.

"The message says that right now she is on her way here with the Celestial Snow-white Dragon and will arrive at the Palace City soon," the guard reported.

"Let us go outside to greet General Marcia!" The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire said as he walked out of the Grand Holy Hall, as soon as he heard the answer from the guard.

It was not a usual thing for the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire to welcome someone in person. In the Holy Dragon Empire, only Three Great Generals enjoyed this kind of treatment. In addition, this time Marcia had been asked to do something of great importance to the Holy Dragon Empire. So, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire wanted to know how things were going as soon as possible.

Seeing the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire walked out to greet Marcia personally, all the others present in the hall hurried after him. Lena, Priest Dean, Alston and Mia followed at the end of the line. The group of people, led by the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, left the Grand Holy Hall, and walked towards the middle of the huge square in front of the hall.
