Whoosh, whoosh . A strong wind blew around the territory . This time, even the war-hardened Firuman residents couldn't keep calm . At least 50 dragons appeared in the sky .

Dragons weren't gentle birds . Each one could create a b.l.o.o.d.y storm in a regular city . Their breaths could bake the earth into a fiery h.e.l.l . If so many dragons flew over from the Grinth Forest and were Ferde's enemies, this would be war .

While the residents were terrified, the dragons circled above the city and then started landing in the suburbs .

Whoosh, whoosh . Under the violent wind, dirt was lifted, and gra.s.s shook . After the 50-some Red Dragon Warriors landed, they transformed into their human forms amidst crystal-red flashes .

Every dragon Magician had carried some Warriors and Magicians from Ferde . They jumped down now .

Before, regular humans could never ride a dragon . Those who dared to try would be turned to ashes . Now, the dragons were won over by Link's power . They all wanted to join Ferde while the Ferde Warriors had their airs.h.i.+p destroyed . Things were urgent, so they dealt with it .

Dozens of small airs.h.i.+ps were already waiting . The dragons and Warriors boarded the airs.h.i.+ps and were taken to their own residences .

The Red Dragon Warriors were taken to the Scorched Ridge, so they flew into the city with Link .

These smaller airs.h.i.+ps were mostly for civilian use . They weren't fast, but they were enough for use within Ferde . Around ten minutes later, Link, Celine, Nana, Felina, and the Red Dragon Warriors arrived inside Scorched Ridge .

Here, the dragons were shown to their rooms . After everyone was settled, Link prepared to visit the Red Dragon Queen .

He needed to go find the mysterious gear in the Sea of Void . This required a very powerful Void Ferry, and the best Void Ferry in the world had to be the dragon body . He had to find Gretel to undo the seal inside him .

But unfortunately, Evelina and Eliard found him before he could do that .

"Lord, there are two guests," Evelina said softly . She emphasized the last word . Clearly, these two had no good intentions in Ferde .

Link twitched and asked, "What, you couldn't handle it?"

They were just two outsiders with bad intentions . With Ferde's current power, there was nothing to fear .

Eliard shrugged . "We were going to, but you happened to be back, and they're a bit troublesome . We're afraid we can't control the significance of the matter . "

Link was curious about their ident.i.ties . He nodded . "Oh, tell me in detail inside the tower . "

They entered the Mage Tower and walked straight to the core hall on the top level . Evelina clapped softly . "Lily, show us the target under heavy supervision . "

"Yes, Magician," Lily's voice rang out . After that, powdery light suddenly fell from the center of the room . They quickly changed, forming two extremely realistic magic projections .

They were two young people—one man and one woman—around 30 years old . They wore plain flaxen clothing . The man was a carriage driver and was traveling into the city . The women looked like an average woman . She was spinning linen in a workshop .

At a glance, they looked like the representation of the busy people in Ferde . But Link realized that they were familiar . After looking closely, he asked Eliard, "Isn't the man the Inferno Warrior we saw in the North?"

"It's him . " Eliard nodded and provided more detailed information . "More than a month ago, they infiltrated the city and seemed to be looking for some information . We used the most secretive full perception magic seal to follow their tracks . They don't know that we're watching . The man is called Hamilton, and the woman is Noa . They're at Level-14 and are very troublesome . "

They were two Level-14 Warriors . If they attacked secretly, Ferde's Divine Punishment protocol most likely could kill them . But if it failed, it would anger them . If people as strong as they were started killing in the city, it would be a bloodbath . Tens of thousands could die .

Clearly, this couldn't happen to Ferde . Thus, Eliard and the others didn't dare do anything .

Studying the two, Link thought for a while and then chuckled . "It's troublesome for me too, but this time, I brought back a powerful Soul Magician . "

"Powerful?" Eliard was instantly interested . There weren't many Magicians in Firuman that Link would say was powerful—and a Soul Magician at that . He'd like to meet them . Evelina thought the same .

Link used Telepathy and said to Piasce who was in his room, "Mr . Piasce, I might need your help . "

"Whatever you say, Lord," Piasce replied immediately . Ever since Link mended the crack, Piasce had become even more reverent . He'd revealed his wishes to stay in Ferde . Link obviously wouldn't bar someone so talented .

After receiving the reply, Link located Piasce and used the Transmission spell . An instant later, white light flashed in the hall . After the light faded, the blue-skinned Piasce appeared .

"Lord . " Piasce bowed at Link and then looked at Eliard and Evelina . He was very shocked . The two before him were very powerful . They were at the Legendary level and were unexpectedly young . Thinking back, most of the powerful figures he'd seen in Ferde were young .

Seems that I've made the right choice . This place is filled with vigor and potential to grow, he thought .

On the other hand, Link introduced, "This is Magician Evelina . She specializes in plants and dragon magic . This is Magician Eliard, who specializes in elemental magic . "

Then he said to Eliard and Evelina, "This is Piasce . He specializes in soul magic . "

Everyone present was at the Legendary level . They had strong perceptions and could instantly sense what level everyone was at . They greeted each other politely, calling each other "Master . "

After the introductions, Link explained the situation . When he was done, Piasce studied the two Inferno Warriors for around three minutes . Then he smiled .

"These two Warriors are powerful but don't have determined souls . I can easily control them . "

Link wasn't surprised . These Warriors were from the Aragu Realm . They'd reached Legendary only thanks to their realm . With their own talent, they could only reach Level-6 in Firuman .

He chuckled . "Then it's up to you . "

"Soul magic takes a while to become effective," Piasce said . "The most widely used tactics are hints and metaphors to not raise any alarms . Lord, please give me three days . "

Link didn't mind . He chatted with the others for a while and prepared to find Gretel . Just as he turned, he received a message . Lord, Her Majesty is coming down .

Link was surprised . What's wrong? She can just send someone . Why would she come personally?

Just then, the rune of the door already lit up . Gretel's voice came from outside . "Duke, are you there?"

Was she in that much of a hurry?

Link found it strange, but he still said to Lily, "Open the door . "

The magic door disappeared, revealing Red Dragon Queen Gretel . She wasn't alone . There were two elders behind her—Pettalong and Wardaas .

Link didn't follow the Dragon Valley's situation, but he knew that these two were the most powerful elders . Then he looked at Gretel . She wore a very formal gown, her hair was done up, and she'd put on makeup . It was a rare formal look .

The situation was strange .

Gretel looked the side and saw Evelina and Eliard . "Since you two are here, you can witness it . "

"Witness? Witness what?" Eliard and Evelina stared at each other . They didn't understand Gretel's motive .

Gretel then looked at Piasce and smiled . "You must be Master Piasce from Omir . "

Piasce was still shocked by Gretel's natural elegance and n.o.bility . He quickly bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Your Majesty . I entered from the crack and was quite rude . I'd been looking for a time to visit you and beg for your forgiveness . "

Gretel shook her head . "There is no need to ask for my forgiveness . No need . "

With that, she walked to Link and suddenly lowered onto one knee . She raised her slender and pale hands . There was a crystal-red bracelet in her palms . Link recognized it . It was the bracelet of the dragon king—the symbol of the dragon king's ident.i.ty .

Her actions scared Link . It was too sudden and unexpected . The n.o.ble queen of the dragon race was kneeling before him . If the other dragons knew, they wouldn't know what to think .

Link quickly moved to the side . "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Evelina, Eliard, and Piasce were shocked too . The scene before them was absurd . They were dumbfounded even as spectators .

Gretel looked up at Link and murmured, "Link, the ancestors' souls at the Dragon Altar already gave the prediction . They've already chosen you as the next dragon king, but because of our arrogance and bias, we stubbornly refused this fact . But now, we must accept it . "

The bracelet floated from her hands . It glowed crystal-red and floated towards Link . The light grew brighter as it got closer to Link . At the same time, the color turned to a silvery black, just like the black dragon form Link once had .

"Link, accept it . Become the next dragon king . "
