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

Chapter 943 Light is the bond! Entangling generation after generation!

“The Okrian Gale family…” Roland toyed with the wine glass in his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. This ancient Eastern noble family and the current kingdom’s famous noble family are actually the Smoke Family! That’s right! The McDougal family! As members of the same Eastern noble family, the two families naturally came together!

"Your Majesty!" Although Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso did not understand Roland's meaning, bowing was the right thing to do.

"No need for formalities. I'm just remarking on how it's still possible to see the Gale Family after countless years!" Roland shook his head and said with some emotion.

"I was just lucky! The Imperial Fire Seed Project protected me..." Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso said honestly.

“Luck is also part of strength. By the way, what did you just say your name was?” Roland shook his head, seemingly lost in thought, and asked Oakrian Yasuo openly.

“Orkrian Yasuo Gale, Your Majesty! You may call me Orkrian Yasuo!” Grand Duke Orkrian Yasuo said calmly.

"Hiss~" Roland gasped as he looked at Grand Duke Oakrian Yasso. No wonder the name sounded so familiar, it was you, you birdman!

"The Divine Dragon Venerable?" Roland asked tentatively.

"Hmm? Don't take other people's nicknames seriously! Your Majesty!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso hurriedly stood up and said in a panic.

Alright! This is it! Roland immediately recognized Archduke Ocrean Yasuo's reaction as the one who was so cunning and unbeatable! This legendary hero, whose status was equivalent to "Old Man Gaia" and could be called the "King of Corpse Disposal in Middle-earth"!

"Is the blessing of the twin dragons still there?" Roland asked bluntly.

“Of course, Your Majesty!” Archduke Oakrian Yaso said, patting his chest.

"..." Roland gave Grand Duke Oakrian Yasuo a deep look. Well! This guy still hasn't been nerfed! There's no numerical advantage in battle; it's pure mechanics dominating!

“Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso! I’ll have to put some more responsibility on your shoulders from now on!” Roland walked over, patted Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso on the shoulder with a meaningful look, and stared at him with a strange gaze.

"..." Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso's brow twitched. He had a feeling that Roland had seen right through him, but how many years had the empire been gone? How could anyone still know his deeds and understand him so well?

Meanwhile, Roland gave the strangely skilled individual before him a deep look! The power of the Daytime Bright Dragon and the Night Moon Shadow Dragon blessed the Gale Blade in his hand! And he was the only one in the Gale Clan to have truly mastered the use of the Gale Blade! If he had been born a generation earlier… perhaps the Gale Clan would have been even more glorious…

In his early years, before inheriting the title, Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo roamed the Empire, righting wrongs and upholding justice. After each act of heroism, he would leave behind his Windsword emblem as protection and a warning. Those who received his favors secretly built temples to worship the Windsword, and the power of faith activated the sleeping dragon soul within it! Before Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo, no one had ever truly awakened the twin dragons sleeping within the Windsword, a family heirloom of the Windsword family! Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo was the first and last to activate the true power of his family's artifact—whoever wields the Windsword and calls its true name can summon the hero Okrian Yasuo! If that were all, it would be normal, but the power of the twin dragons granted him the power of a clone! This means that when summoning Okrian Yasuo by holding the Windsword, he could choose to use the power of the Windsword to send a clone or for his true self to descend! As a result, Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo became the Empire's most famous "ride-hailing service" (a euphemism for someone who uses a third wheel to impersonate another character). Have you ever seen hundreds of sixth-tier warrior clones charge at you? In the end, they fought their way to earn the title of Dragon Lord!

This is why Roland calls this guy a "mechanical monster"! As long as the power of faith continues, his Gale Blade can infinitely create clones that can travel through time and space to be by your side! This is almost as cunning as Ultraman Tiga! How can we play without nerfing him?

“Your Majesty, I may have to disappoint you now… I am no longer the Dragon Lord.” Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso did not hide anything or struggle, but looked at Roland with great honesty.

"The Blade of Gale no longer responds to you? Is it due to the loss of your power? Or is it because your faith has been severed?" Roland asked Archduke Oakrian Yasso meaningfully.

"!!!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso looked up at Roland and his pupils suddenly contracted. His greatest secret had actually been exposed by King Roland in one sentence!

“Don’t look at me so surprised. Although the empire has fallen, the Lagrange bloodline is not extinct. I know more about the birth of this Dragon King’s Blade than you do! You don’t really think that just because it’s called the Gale Blade, it really is the Gale Blade, do you?” Roland’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.

"Hmm?" Duke Joelster immediately straightened his back and listened intently. He didn't know this secret yet, so he quickly gossiped about it to enrich his knowledge base so he could brag about it to other nobles in the future!

"What's so surprising?" Roland couldn't help but show off as he looked at the two dumbfounded and bewildered people.

"..." Duke Joelster's fist felt a little hard. He hated the Riddler more than anything in his life! Riddler, get out of Lagrange!

"The answer is simple. The two dragon souls dwelling here are not just ordinary dragon souls, but two dragon kings!" Roland said quietly.

"Huh?" Duke Joelsteria reacted even more violently than Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso, and immediately cried out in surprise.

“Sit down! Stop being so dramatic! You don’t know what the necessary conditions are for the creation of a divine artifact? It’s either an object that has been used by a god and baptized by divine power, or a collection of ultimate wills (like Apophis Breo’s Lion Iron Seal). If you don’t have either of those, then you can only rely on the finest materials… Which of these do you think your ordinary steel sword meets? Apart from being blessed by the twin dragons, it’s completely ordinary in every other aspect. So how did it become a divine artifact?” Roland smiled eerily.

"Guess where those fallen dragon kings went after the great battle of the dragons and Ragnarok? This sword is where the remnants of the Light Dragon King and the Shadow Dragon King reside!" Roland said calmly.

“Nadarian Nightblade’s Garuda…” Duke Joelster’s gaze fixed on Roland, a probing look in his eyes.

“Listening to the Wind Blade—how can an ordinary wind dragon soul in Garuda compare to the Gale Blade… Do you even know what a Dragon King’s soul is? If you don’t, go ask Caslo about the Ice Dragon King Asata he faced this time!” Roland said irritably.

"It's lucky that this sword ended up in your Gale family's hands, but from another perspective, your Gale family's fate is truly unlucky! Bearing the souls of the Light and Dark Dragons, it wasn't until the last generation that the Dragon King's Gift within was successfully activated... Did the Gale swordsmen of the past just use this sword as an iron sword to swing at people?" Roland said painfully, clutching his head.

Light and darkness are intertwined! The legacy left by the two Dragon Kings to their descendants is incredibly rich. The fact that the Gale Blade was able to fall into the hands of the Gale family is because their family has the blood of the Maddug family flowing through their veins, making them descendants of the Osbayar family! Otherwise, the Gale Blade would never have fallen into their hands!

"It's just a bond that binds generation after generation! Apart from you, the Gale family doesn't understand the true value of the Light of Faith..." Roland sighed as he looked at the Gale Blade.
