Chapter 443

Black Dragon King?

This was a new term . Link looked at the dragon elders around him . Seeing all their grave and secretive expressions, he could tell it wasn't a good term .

Link glanced at Gretel and asked, "How do I turn back into a human?" He could feel that he could do it, but he had no clue how to .

"Take a deep breath, hold it, put it into your stomach… Right, now you're back into a human . "

Link felt his body's inner structure clearly and could easily do what the queen said . When he was done, he felt his body squeeze . The extended Dragon Power quickly retracted and his body shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye .

Three seconds later, he was a human again .

After that, his clothes automatically jumped out of the dimensional storage gear and seamlessly returned to his body . Link looked down at his hands . They were normal, without any dragon scales or crystal thorns .

The only difference was that his skin was much smoother . The calluses and scars had all disappeared .

After transforming into a dragon, Link finally understood its profundity . He realized that a dragon's body was a very powerful magic armor in nature… No, it wasn't armor . It was more like an extremely intricate living machine!

The magic was intricate to the max and contained endless wisdom, including knowledge that Link had never even thought of before . He could say that this magic was practically a giant library!

Now, Link just wanted to find a quiet place and put all his effort into studying it!

Whoos.h.!.+ The Red Dragon Queen unfurled her wings and flew down from the podium . When she reached Link, she collapsed her wings and looked at him seriously, her eyes troubled .

The mood was a bit heavy . After a while, Link asked, "Can I transform certain parts like you?"

"Yes, but you need more practice . "

This was good news, and Link was satisfied . This way, he could give himself a layer of scales during battles for sudden extra armor .

At this time, the elders who had fallen earlier pulled themselves up . Elder Pettalong walked over and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should consider your plan seriously . Do not let history repeat itself—"

He already treated Link as part of the dragon race now, so he didn't keep it from Link . However, the Red Dragon Queen rudely cut him off . "Alright, speak carefully . Link will not partic.i.p.ate in our matters . He is a human lord and history will definitely not repeat itself!"

"Yes, I understand . " Pettalong glanced at Link . His eyes were also troubled—there was regret and also fear .

Gretel looked at Link with exhaustion written all over . "Okay, I've already fulfilled my promise . You are only an average member of our race and cannot stay here . Go to the Dragon Temple and prepare to attend the Emerald Circle meeting . "

Her att.i.tude was a bit strange . She had been respectful first but now was acting cold . Link guessed that his dragon shape was something taboo . However, this suited him . He wasn't an idiot and could see from their att.i.tudes that the dragons had high expectations for him . If he really had a dragon shape that fit their expectations, they would become even more entangled .

This was just right .

Thinking of this, Link said, "Then I'll leave now . Oh, I heard that you have a library . Can I go there?"

"Of course . There are only some historical books though . Feel free to read whatever you wish . "

"No problem . "

Link bowed slightly to Gretel and then walked out of the Ancestor Altar . After he left, Pettalong said, "Can this be a sign from the ancestors?"

Gretel fell silent . She looked up at the dragon statue wrapped around the altar and sighed . "I don't know either, but it has already happened . The black dragon symbolizes destruction, but we pursue balance . He's already out of consideration . Don't think about it . "

"Yes," all the elders replied .

On the other hand, Link didn't know about this at all . He had already arrived at the library in the Dragon Temple .

It was not very big . It was a circular room around 150 square feet big and only contained around 5000 books .

The librarian was a benevolent old dragon . He wasn't too strong, only at Level-7, and had a dying aura . He didn't seem to have many days left to live .

When Link arrived, he was writing something at a table . Seeing Link, he looked up and said, "Young man, you can read but don't damage my books . "

"I'll be careful . " Link nodded .

Just as Link was walking towards a bookshelf, the elder spoke again . "From your looks, I'm sure you want to know about our history . Go read the 37th book from the left on the top of the third bookshelf . "

"Okay, thank you . "

Link was very interested in dragonification right now . When activating the spell earlier, he seemed to feel a familiar spell-casting technique . Of course, it was just a guess . He needed to verify it now .

Following the elder's guidance, Link found the book and took it out . It was called Firuman Chronicles .

The book was very old, and it felt like it would fall apart in Links' hands . He held it carefully and walked over to sit down in a chair . He realized that there were very little people in the library . There were only a dozen scattered throughout .

When they saw him, they all looked up and then went back to their books . It was great that no one would disturb him . He opened the book and started reading attentively .

He was already shocked at the first page .

It said, In ancient times, the mountains collapsed, and the world cracked . Floods crashed against the sky and nowhere in Firuman was safe . Seventy-two of our sages gathered in a temple and used three years and 96 days to successfully construct a magic ferry to survive the catastrophe . This was the beginning of the dragon race .

There was a picture on the first page of the magic ferry . It looked vaguely looked like a dragon!

Link had read the Aragu Annals that recorded the Araguan history . It said that the world had cracked apart and sage Moses split the realms, thus creating Aragu .

Both mentioned a disaster in the prehistoric times but came up with different solutions . Moses had split the realms while the dragon sages chose to construct a s.h.i.+p .

They were legends and sounded unbelievable . But if legends from two different realms were so similar and even the High Elves recorded a similar history, it was enough to prove that something catastrophic had truly happened to Firuman in ancient times .

Stunned, Link kept reading . The second page described how the sages used the magic ferry to survive the catastrophe .

Steering the magic ferry, we entered the endless sea and floated for countless months before the world finally calmed . Mountains reappeared, and life began again . The magic ferry helped us through the disaster .

There was a picture here too . It depicted a group of dragons flying out of a giant bubble .

Link stared at it and then was overjoyed . The dragon's body is the magic ferry . Is the sea actually the Sea of Void? Does that mean I can enter the void safely with a dragon's body?

Gretel had always said that dragonification was the ultimate treasure of the dragon race, but Link never saw it . He had killed Isendilan and didn't find his dragon body that scary . Now, Link finally understood its value .

It's a ferry for the Void!

He continued reading . The book told of how the sages steered the magic ferry back to the peaceful Firuman . The stories started becoming more ordinary . The sages returned to Firuman, developed down their own paths, and started differentiating .

Those who had directly controlled the magic ferry learned from the lesson and believed in equilibrium . They steered the large magic ferry and lived in isolation . The others developed all over the world .

After countless years, they started reproducing, prospering, and fighting each other . During their wars, they lost their history and power, becoming mortals .

Here, the epic used an image to show the clear timeline of the history .

In ancient times, the sages of Firuman escaped into the Sea of Void . Then they came back and started diversifying . A small minority of elites possessed boundless wisdom . They felt that the magic ferry was very reliable so they continuously improved on it, finally becoming modern dragons .

The most evolved and became the modern humans of Firuman .

However, this book only contained the basics . It didn't describe any specific figures or details . Link didn't see anything about the Black Dragon King either . He wasn't interested in that though so he didn't search for it .

This book also recorded the evolutions of the other races .

The Yabbas were a branch of the dwarves; High Elves and Dark Elves were from the same family . As for the Beastmen, they were a foreign race that entered after a human Magician opened a realm portal .

The book vaguely mentioned the source of the G.o.d of Light too . The words were very unclear and only contained a few sentences . The most important was: The G.o.d of Light has a close connection to the ancient catastrophe .

That was it . Link felt anxious after reading it, but he couldn't find the answer anywhere . He could only sigh .

It took him three hours to read this book . After that, he let out a long breath . No wonder humans could prosper even without talent or heritage . We've had such a glorious era in ancient times! The Aragu Empire, countless sages, and incredible magic are so impressive .

Link was now even more interested in dragonification magic .

He carefully put the ancient book back to the bookshelf and returned to the elder . "I want to study the dragonification techniques," he said . "Is there any book that can help me?"

"No . " The elder shook his head briskly and looked at Link with rheumy eyes . "The magic ferry is already perfected . What need is there to improve it?"

"There are no perfect spells in the world . " Link shook his head .

The elder was silent for a while and then sighed . "You're right . Dragons are perfect but are still greedy . The three dukes are lost, the Void crack reappeared, it's hard to live in isolation again… Take this book . "

He took out a black leather magic book . There was only one word on it: Dragon .

Link pressed down his excitement and flipped it open . Seeing the first page, his heart was already pounding . "Can I copy it?" he asked .

The elder chuckled wryly . "For more than 2000 years, countless youths entered this library . Number 269 asked me a similar question, and I would give them this book every time . Only you can see its value . Take it, young man . It is yours . "
