How to use the Dragon King correctly

Chapter 48 Looking for Your Shadow

When Al woke up, he met a pair of light green eyes with a look of curiosity in them.

Al jumped up from the bed abruptly, stared at the little girl lying next to him silently for a moment, opened his mouth, and asked in a hoarse voice, "... who are you?"

"My name is Mekasha, what's your name, Dragon Clan?" the little girl with wavy hair asked with an innocent smile.

"I...my name is Al, hello," Al was a little confused about the situation, looked around for a while, and forced a smile, "What... is this place?"

"This is the palace, you are already in Heimlis, Al." Mekasha blinked and said.

Al was secretly startled!

This is Heimlis? !Why is he here? !

What happened before?

Al turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, propping his forehead with his hands, cold sweat slowly streaming down.

He wanted to lift the seal, but just when he was about to succeed, he was exhausted.When the human magician attacked him, Auror blocked it for him, and then Luther completed the last step of lifting the seal for him...

——So the seal was lifted successfully? !

He lost consciousness later, and should have been brought here by Luther... What about Oro? !

Al turned eagerly to the little girl and said, "Have you ever met a man named Oro?"

Mekasha shook her head: "Luther brought you back alone."

"Luther..." Al paused and said, "Where is Luther?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Mekasha turned her head and said firmly, "Please come in."

The door was opened, and a man with brown hair came in, and he was surprised when he saw Al.

He quickly put away his surprised expression, first nodded slightly at Mekasha, and said, "Your Highness Princess."

Then he nodded to Al and said, "Your Majesty Al."

Al noticed the blue scales on the man's neck, and couldn't help standing up!

This person is... Dragon Clan!

"Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you."

Mekasha nodded obediently, and said to Al: "I will tell the queen mother that you are awake, Al!" After saying that, she ran out.

Seeing that the man was about to turn around and leave, Al hurriedly said, "Wait a minute...I have something to ask you!"

This room is very spacious.

Not far from the bed Al was lying on was a window.

Al went to the window and opened it, and the icy cold wind from Heimlis parted the curtain and blew in.

Al turned around and said to the man, "How long have I been asleep?"

The Dragon Clan said respectfully: "Since the day the two Majesties lifted the seal, you have been asleep for five days, Your Majesty Al."

five days...

Al looked at his hands.

He could feel that his dragon core still had some power left.

When the seal was lifted, his dragon core was indeed exhausted, and the power remaining in his body now was the dragon power that returned to him after the seal was lifted.As he expected, there were not many, because half of the dragon core was used by Sisi on the seal at the beginning, and the half of the dragon core was not affected by the seal, and it had indeed been exhausted.

The small part of the power returned now only belongs to the half of the dragon core captured by Luther.

Even though he lost so much power, Al felt relieved.

He asked again: "Dragon Clan...how is it now?"

"Everyone is fine," the man said. "Before, we could only maintain the dragon form, so it would be very crowded if we all gathered in Heimlis. Now we can change into human form, no different from ordinary humans. Some of us had objections to the dragon race before." The Heimlithians seem to have changed their attitude as well."

"Really..." Al breathed a sigh of relief, "So... what's the situation in the Kingdom of Art?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The Kingdom of Yate has issued a warning to us and asked us to explain clearly, otherwise we will declare war..."

"!"

"Ah! You can rest assured that Her Majesty Luther and Her Majesty the Queen are already dealing with it," the man comforted.

"...Why does the Queen take care of the Dragon Clan like this?" Al wondered, "Did Luther make any contract with the Queen?"

"I don't know what happened between the two majesties..." The man smiled and said, "But I think it has something to do with what happened in the past."

Al frowned: "What happened in these 1000 years?"

"I only heard those rumors from my father, Your Majesty."

Al listened to the man's words, and walked to the bed and sat down again.

"The kingdom of Yate was built on the magic circle. It is said that it is composed of a group of people who hate dragons and firmly believe that Sisi is their hero. The other part of the people originally worshiped dragons and wanted to transform themselves into dragons. They were rejected by most humans, so they were driven to the northernmost part, forming Heimlis today. The remaining group of humans, 1000 years ago, they finally classified Sisi as a traitor and disdain Sticking to the magic circle, we went to the remaining southeast region. That territory is huge, and it didn’t take long for internal battles to split into two kingdoms, namely Ruby and Aisha.”

...That's why Heimlis accepted the Dragon Clan so readily?

Al subconsciously thought of Lal.He thought that Lal would like to visit Heimlis.

"However, after so long, the rulers of those kingdoms no longer know these things."

...until now.

The long-pretended history was torn apart in front of this group of descendants who did not know the truth at all.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

Al looked over and saw a black-haired man standing by the door.

The man nodded to Luther, then turned and left the room, closing the door by the way.

Luther asked, "How are you?"

"It's all right," Al asked quickly, "What's the situation with Art now?"

Luther sarcastically said: "We have disfigured their kings, and of course they will lose face."

Al frowned and said, "It's true that we didn't do well." Although it was impossible, what they destroyed was someone else's capital after all, not an insignificant small town. It's good enough to call.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter," Luther leaned against the door, crossing his arms, "Yate's ancestors first established the king's capital on that magic circle, and they had to make sure that there would be such a thing." One day of preparation. We just lifted the seal, and we didn't really raze that royal capital to the ground."

"But what if they join forces with the other two kingdoms to declare war?" Al said, staring at Luther.

"That depends on whether the other two kingdoms really want to wade into the muddy water." Luther looked away, and said lightly, "You said that you don't want things to become like they were before, so as long as they don't first If you do it, I won't do it either. Leave the rest alone."

Al fell silent.

"You want to ask Sisi's whereabouts?"

Al glanced at him, pursed his lips and nodded.

Luther paused and said, "I don't know, I don't have the time to pay attention to him."

"...I'm going to find him."

"You want to leave here?" Luther narrowed his eyes.

"Luther, my strength is running out." Al sighed.

After thinking about it, he stretched out his right hand and clenched his five fingers into a fist.

As if realizing what he wanted to do, Luther lowered his hands, stood up straight and said in a deep voice, "Al!"

Al stretched out his five fingers, and half a dragon core floated in his palm.

The light of the dragon core is already very weak.

"This is half a dragon core with a little dragon power left," Al pulled the corner of his lips, and said softly, "As long as it is not 'involuntary', it doesn't matter even if half a dragon core is split .”

"Put this thing back into your body!" Luther tensed his body.

"I'll give you half of the dragon core, Luther."

Luther stared at Al, and said slowly: "...Is this your punishment for me?"

"Punishment?" Al raised his eyes, looked at the black-haired man and said, "If you think this is punishment, then it is punishment. But Luther, you should understand that I will not stay here forever."

"...Al."

Al got up from the bed, and walked in front of Luther holding half of the dragon core.

"...I made a mistake at the beginning," Luther's voice was a little dry, "don't leave me alone."

Hearing this, Al didn't know what to say for a while.

He couldn't forgive Luther for what he did back then, but at this moment he could face this person so calmly.

Just like what he said to Luther at the beginning, apologizing has no meaning at all.

A "sorry" can't change the past, and a "sorry" can't make his mood return to the past when facing this man.

Think back to the moment when he first opened his eyes and saw the world with the consciousness of "Al".

Luther who was always gentle towards him, Xilin who was a bit grumpy, and Gaia who was still sleeping.

At that time, I am afraid that they could not have imagined today anyway.

"...Perhaps from the very beginning, you, me, Xilin and Gaia shouldn't be separated and become four people. The king of dragons only needs one person." Al sighed softly.

Luther's body seemed to freeze.

Al took his hand and put the half dragon core in Luther's palm.

The scene seemed familiar.

The last time he and Luther met in Ruby's capital, that night, Luther also put a gold coin in his palm.

"I have already been to Heimlis, and I also thank you for bringing this day to the Dragon Clan. Make an agreement with me, Luther. Let me be an ordinary Dragon Clan, and let me get out of here."

three days later.

Al left the palace and walked on the streets of the capital of Heimlis, looking at the surrounding scenery in amazement.

He was already shocked when he first discovered that the palace of Heimlis was like a huge crystal. He didn't expect that the entire capital was like a world of ice and snow!

A gust of cold wind blew through, and Al shivered, and the long-awaited Dragon Clan immediately came over, put a coat on Al, and brought hot water to Al.

"Your Majesty Al, please accept this cup of hot water!"

"Ah...thank you..."

"Your Majesty Al, this is the crystal we collected, please take it with you!!"

"Uh...no need..."

"Your Majesty Al, this is the bacon made by our family, please try it!!"

"...Ah! Thank you!"

"Your Majesty Al, these are some gold coins, which are our wishes!!"

"This, what a shame!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of hoofbeats, and the neighing of the horses made the group of dragons get out of the way.

A black horse was pulling a carriage, and the person on the black horse respectfully said: "His Royal Highness Al, His Highness Princess wants to see you off."

Holding a lot of things in his hands, Al was stunned for a while, then quickly said "thank you" to the group of dragons behind him, and got into the carriage as if fleeing.

The eyes of the little girl in the carriage lit up when she saw the pile of things in Al's hand.

She screamed and rushed over!Al couldn't laugh or cry.

The carriage kept running forward, with occasional bumps.

Al happily counted the gold coins, smelled the smell of bacon, and heard Mekasha ask: "Al, will you come back?"

"Ok?"

Mekasha was playing with a beautiful amethyst, turned her head, and said with a smile: "My mother once told me that she saw Luther's painting when she was very young. Luther was exactly the same as the painting, and there was nothing wrong with it. Getting old, obviously 100 years have passed! Then when I grow up, will you still be the same as now?"

Al was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "Well... I should have grown old by then."

"Why! Aren't you the same as Luther, the Dragon King?" Mekasha looked a little disappointed.

"No, I'm not anymore," Al said with a smile.

After handing over the little dragon power that was left, Al had no dragon power left.

Now he is no different from ordinary dragons.

And after 1000 years of sealing, the dragons have completely lost their longevity. They will live a little longer than humans, but only a little.

His time is almost synchronized with Oro, he will slowly age, and death will come to him.

"Then why are you still so happy?" Mekasha pouted.

Al smiled and didn't answer, just stroked her blond hair.

Mekasha pursed her mouth, looking unhappy.

Al said helplessly: "Is it okay to grow old like you, Mekasha?"

Mekasha paused while playing with the crystal, and said in a low voice: "I like you now, it will never change!"

Al chuckled.

If one day Oro becomes gray-haired, and he still looks like this, I'm afraid Oro will be very angry.

Al opened the curtains on the carriage, looked at the rapidly receding snow scene outside, and took a deep breath.

Not sure where Oro is now...

The author has something to say: explain, the reason why Al was in the state of a young dragon before was because his body died 1000 years ago, that is to say, when Oro met Al, Al's body was conceived by the dragon nucleus The body after remodeling, but because the "remodeling" was not complete at that time, it was in the state of a young dragon.When Al absorbed so many crystals in Lal's house and recovered his memory, his dragon form was no longer a young dragon, and even if he lost the power of the dragon king now, he would not become a young dragon!
