The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 910 The Dragon King's Gift! (Worldview Patch)

"Drip!" The sound of dripping water suddenly rang in Maple Forest Orchid's ears. He opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes filled with a rare look of panic.

"Where is this?" As far as the eye could see, there was only snow and ice, and towering, cold icebergs on the vast tundra.

"Crack!" A long and powerful ice-blue dragon claw suddenly appeared in front of Maple Forest Orchid. He looked up and saw that a frost dragon the size of a small mountain had appeared in front of him. Its ferocious dragon horns and clusters of ice thorns formed a magnificent ice crown. Its deep vertical pupils revealed a hint of curiosity and scrutiny.

"Who are you..." Fenglin Youlan subconsciously tried to raise the Dragon Slayer Sword, but his hands were empty, and even the heavy dragon armor on his body had disappeared without a trace... As the cold wind blew, Fenglin Youlan shivered awkwardly.

"Hmm? Is it cold here?" the dragon spoke.

"???" Maple Forest Orchid had a question mark on her face, clearly bewildered by the words of this strange dragon.

"Silly child! This is my spiritual world, you can think of it as... the Dragon Soul Space!" A playful expression appeared in the dragon's eyes.

"You are the Ice Dragon King! I am in your consciousness space?" Maple Forest Orchid's heart skipped a beat. She was clearly no longer able to calmly chat with this great god after realizing what she had done.

"Are you afraid?" The massive frost dragon suddenly lowered its head, a hint of mockery in its eyes.

“Um… Your Highness the Dragon King, I think it’s necessary for me to explain to you, um… in my capacity as a Dragon Knight!” Maple Forest Orchid coughed twice, clenching her fist and putting it to her mouth.

"Hmm~" Asata raised his eyelids to indicate that Maple Forest Orchid was listening, his eyes full of amusement and teasing, clearly amused by the human in front of him.

"As a dragon knight, I have a duty to uphold the dignity of the dragon race. Obviously, for a dragon king of your stature, being desecrated by necromancy after death is utterly terrible. As a dragon knight, I cannot violate the spirit of knighthood; to let it go unpunished would be the act of a villain!" It was rare for the usually serious Maple Forest Orchid to become so obsequious. After all, it was common knowledge that in the Kingdom of Lagrang, the most skilled flatterer was Caslo, and among the skilled fighters, Caslo was also the most adept at sycophancy! Due to her personality and historical background, Maple Forest Orchid was more composed and her demeanor more serious!

"Alright, I, a dead dragon king, won't do anything to you. You're overthinking it, child..." Asata looked at Maple Forest Orchid with kind eyes, as if he were looking at an outstanding junior.

“But you’re right about one thing! Dragons cannot be desecrated by necromancy! But unfortunately, you’re wrong! This isn’t necromancy! It’s because my soul was too powerful, and the remaining part of my soul fell into corruption… It’s a lot like a mad bone dragon, isn’t it?” There was a hint of sadness in Asata’s eyes, but more than that, there was relief.

"Then what can I do for you?" Fenglin Youlan asked respectfully. Even a Dragon Knight Commander would restrain his pride and listen to the Dragon King's words when facing a Dragon King.

"You've already done it, haven't you?" Asata looked at Maple Forest Orchid with gentle eyes. "Um... actually, it wasn't just me, I had some friends too, um... we helped you to break free. In fact, I alone am powerless against your might, after all, the Dragon King is too strong!" Maple Forest Orchid shrugged, unhesitatingly betraying the others, going to kill the Dragon King alone? Really? A little flattery of Asata's power while throwing the others out to draw fire was the only thing Maple Forest Orchid could do at the moment.

"You have no need to fear me. I see in you a sincere and courageous heart belonging to a dragon knight!" Asata smiled and shook his head. This was his mental space, where he was invincible. Maple Forest Orchid's thoughts would be presented to him. In his mental world, no creature weaker than him had any secrets!

"Maple Forest Orchid? You are a descendant of the Lagrange Empire? The last Dragon Knight Commander? That vast empire has also perished?" Asata frowned, clearly recalling some past events.

"The McDoug family? What's your relationship with the Nyx family?" Asata suddenly stared intently at Maple Forest Orchid.

"You're from a branch of the Nyx family? Oh! I remember now, the Anthony family and the McDougal family! How is the Nyx family doing now?" Before Maple Forest Orchid could speak, Asata sensed his thoughts, which startled Maple Forest Orchid so much that he quickly cleared his mind and stopped thinking about anything to prevent Asata from reading his memories.

"I've met the first head of the Nyx family! Osbayar! That dragon-like man! One of the earliest dragon knights of mankind! Most likely also the first dragon knight commander!" Asata suddenly began to reminisce, a few traces of recollection flashing in his eyes.

"Hmm?" Maple Forest Orchid, whose mind had been blank, was intrigued.

"So the Nyx family and its branch families have been basically wiped out!" Asata's voice was tinged with a sigh as he sensed Maple Forest Orchid's thoughts.

"It seems that the timeline of Middle-earth has been altered by the gods with their divine power, and some history has been erased!" Sensing Maple Forest Orchid's thoughts, Asata suddenly became serious, because in Maple Forest Orchid's memories, he discovered that the current Middle-earth was unaware of the existence of the Lagrange Empire! You must know that even if that vast empire collapsed into dust, it would still leave behind fragments, not be as clean as it is now, as if it had been erased by an eraser!

"But it seems I'm overthinking it. It looks like both the Dragon God and the Human Emperor have left behind some backup plans? Has the Dragon Clan also placed their bets?" Then Asata saw the memories of the current Lagrange Kingdom and Roland in Maple Forest Orchid's mind, and immediately let out a soft laugh. It seems that neither the Dragon Clan nor the Lagrange Empire has conceded defeat! The victors of that Ragnarok era ultimately left behind their own torch!

“Hmm, very good! It seems that the dragon race has not been forgotten and erased! So many dragons are still walking among humans! There is hope for the revival of our dragon race! Look, even the golden dragons have appeared…” Asata said happily. The appearance of so many dragons in the Central Plains shows that the dragon race is still active in the game as a player.

"Golden Dragon! How is this possible! How could a golden dragon make a pact with a human! Ah! Dragon God! You Lagranges have gone mad! You rode silver dragons back then, and now you dare to ride golden dragons!" The once calm dragon soul's face twisted in anger, and the peaceful icy world instantly transformed into the appearance of a polar storm!

"I...I can...explain for His Majesty..." Fenglin Youlan, pinned to the ground by the terrifying pressure, struggled to lift his head and pleaded. He had clearly misjudged the situation; after all, it was he, not Roland, who was in danger. (Roland: He's so loyal! I could cry!)

"Your Majesty? The golden dragon contracted by the current King of Lagrang?" The Dragon Soul Space, which had been in turmoil, instantly became calm and peaceful. Asata's voice, after reviewing Maple Forest Orchid's memories once again, became more thoughtful.

“This is a huge game. This is beyond my reach. If I were alive, I could offer some protection, but now…” Asata shook his head.

"Consider yourself lucky, kid. These gifts are a token of my support for the Golden Dragon Contractors!"
