Chapter 246: Changes in the Giant Kingdom
"Has something happened on Dragon Island? Why are all the dragons suddenly called back?"
East Sea Empire.
Descendants of dragons, in the Lange family.
Early in the morning, the senior officials received news that Dragon Island was calling all the fire dragons, and they were surprised and confused.
You know, in the past few decades, the dragon family has been keeping a low profile, either sleeping in the nest, and rarely going out.
But today, there was such a big commotion. Not to mention them, even the nobles and lords around were panicked, thinking that the dragon family was going to make a big move.
"Chief!"
At this time, a member of the family hurried in from outside.
"I just went to the back mountain to ask, and they said that a big man came to Dragon Island and might come to us, so let's prepare!"
"Big man?"
The senior officials were shocked when they heard this, and Derian Lange, the chief of the family, also looked solemn: "Did they really say that?"
The "they" he mentioned were the fire dragons who stayed in the volcanic area of the Lange family's territory.
Since the last time they saw the Flame Dragon Ancestor return from the Dream Forest, Lux, who was originally guarding there, has left and was replaced by several other flame dragons.
This is the contract signed between the ancestors of the Lange family and the Flame Dragon Clan. The Lange family has worshipped the Flame Dragon for generations, and the Flame Dragon Clan sent dragons to protect their territory.
This is also the reason why their family has been prosperous for a long time.
And now.
There is such a big commotion from Dragon Island that it is hard for them not to pay attention, for fear of making those dragons unhappy.
"Yes! That Lord Flame Dragon said so, and after that he rushed back to Dragon Island, and he seemed to be in a hurry."
Hiss——
As the voice fell, a sound of inhalation came from the hall.
What kind of big shot is it that makes the Flame Dragon Clan so concerned that even the clan members who have kept their hands outside are summoned back. This has never happened before.
Oh.
It happened once last time.
It seems that the Flame Dragon Ancestor has come in person.
But even that time, not all the fire dragons left outside were summoned back.
Derian was confused, but he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately stood up and asked people to prepare.
...
At this time.
On Dragon Island.
All the fire dragons gathered on the altar in the center of the island, some crawling on the ground, some lying on the mountain, staring at the altar and the elders on the altar.
"Here we come!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Then a beam of light fell from the sky and exploded on the altar.
When the light faded, an ordinary little tree spirit stood on it. It was the tree spirit guard summoned by Rhodes through magic.
Originally, he planned to summon a rock giant, but after thinking about it, he changed to a tree spirit guard because he was more accustomed to the body of a tree spirit and could cast spells more flexibly.
In addition, the small size does not consume much energy, so it can be maintained without dissipating.
"Lord, you are finally here!"
The elders of the Flame Dragons had seen Rhodes in the forest before, so they could recognize his aura at a glance and hurried to meet him.
Lex, who was in charge of the escort mission, stood beside him, her face full of excitement, trying to show herself.
Whether she could serve the ancestor in the future depended on the face of the man in front of her, so she was naturally very concerned.
"Did Alpha tell you?"
Rhodes looked around, and there were dragons all over the surrounding mountains, big and small.
"I have said it, I have said it." The elders nodded repeatedly, "Do you want to take a rest before leaving or..."
"Let's go now, so we won't waste time."
As Rhodes said this, the branches above his head moved, and a small white head appeared. It was Xiaobai who followed him.
I don't know if this guy can come with him because of the connection between the two worlds, and it is still the original body.
If the little things knew about this, they would definitely follow him.
"Don't make trouble on the way, understand?"
After eating a lot of charm mushrooms these days, Xiaobai's level has reached the third level, and his control over the mind has become more abnormal. Sometimes even people at the sixth level will be teased by it.
After warning, Rhode left the altar accompanied by the elders, walked around Dragon Island, and then came to the outside of the island's barrier.
Originally, Dragon Island wanted to send a team of dragons to escort them, but Rhode felt that it was too ostentatious, so he only left Lux.
Anyway, he was not going to fight, and a dragon that was about to reach the seventh level and him, who was at the fifth level, were more than enough.
At worst, he could call for help if he couldn't handle it.
Very quickly.
With the dragons watching them, they flew away from Dragon Island and flew quickly towards the land.
While flying, Rhode also asked about the Giant Kingdom.
"Lex, have you been to the Giant Kingdom before?"
"No, we have rarely interacted with the outside world in recent years, but I heard that the Giant Kingdom is not far from here, and someone among our human descendants should know about it."
"Well, let's go to them first."
Before coming, Rhodes had heard about what happened here from Alpha, so he didn't stop and flew directly to the dragon descendant family.
At this time.
The entire Lange family territory had already been in chaos.
There were people coming in and out of the manor, and carriages were coming and going outside. Many juniors who were studying outside were called back, which attracted discussions from other residents and passing caravans, all speculating on what happened.
However, the most puzzled were the younger generation who were called back.
The family did not give any reason and asked them to come back quickly, which made many people dissatisfied.
"We were called back suddenly without telling the reason. What if it delayed our practice?"
"Yes, the magic assessment of the Noble Academy is coming soon, and everyone is practicing hard. Isn't this causing me to fall behind?"
"I was called back just halfway through the swordsmanship course, and they said I had to come back."
"I really don't know what the elders think."
Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the elders in their family, and all gathered in the manor.
In addition to the main family of the Lange family, many of them were noble branches that were separated, containing a very small part of the blood of the Flame Dragon. The elders also brought their juniors here, as if they had heard something.
The chieftain, Derian, and a group of elders rushed to the volcanic area early and waited there.
Behind them were seven or eight of the most talented descendants in the family, all of whom looked around curiously.
Because this volcanic area has always been a forbidden area for the Lange family. Normally, they would be scolded for approaching, let alone entering. But now they were all brought here.
And just at this moment.
The sound of flapping wings sounded.
In the distant sky, a huge figure approached quickly, whizzed over their heads, and flew into the volcano's nest with a scorching air wave.
"It's Lord Lux!"
Derian and others recognized the figure at once, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes.
But before they could speak, their expressions became uncertain, especially those of the magicians.
Because with the appearance of Lux, the magic elements around them increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a moment, the concentration of elements in the air reached an extremely terrifying level, and even the magic power in the body could be felt increasing between breaths.
It was even more exaggerated than drinking a magic potion!
"What's going on?"
"Why are the magic elements suddenly increasing?"
"Such a rich magic element!"
"I... I seem to be advancing!"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and two juniors actually advanced on the spot. Their bodies were wrapped in a surge of magic power, and their auras suddenly increased several times.
This shocked Derian and the others. What kind of big shot was he? His mere appearance caused such a big reaction.
Even the ancestor of the Flame Dragon might not be able to do this, right?
How dare he neglect it? He hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Sir Lex, Derian Lange and his people come to pay a visit."
The volcano nest was silent for a moment, and finally Lex's loud voice came: "You come in alone."
Hearing this, Derian looked at several elders, asked them to take care of several juniors, and then walked into the cave alone.
After passing through the narrow passage and entering the interior of the volcano, he saw the huge red figure of Lux at a glance, and there was a very ordinary looking tree spirit looking up and down in the corner?
How could there be a tree spirit here?
Derian was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and his pupils shrank.
Since the news came from Dragon Island that a big shot was coming and asked him to prepare well, it must be right.
In other words...
Gurgle~
Derian swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but look at the tree spirit, and then said: "I wonder what instructions does Lord Lux have this time?"
"Nothing else, just preparing to go to the Giant Kingdom, and by the way, come to ask you if you know anything about it." Lux said calmly.
"Giant Kingdom?"
Derian looked surprised. He didn't expect it to be about this kind of thing. He quickly answered: "Of course I know. The Giant Kingdom is close to our East Sea Empire. There was trade between the two countries half a year ago."
"Half a year ago?"
"Yes, there was trade between the two countries at that time, but suddenly one day, the Giant Kingdom announced the suspension of trade and no longer allowed caravans to enter. The royal family of the East Sea Empire has sent people to understand the situation."
"Do you know the reason?"
"It seems that because the land there is polluted, many mountain giants have suffered from a strange disease. Some say that it is because there are many undead creatures there, which is not suitable for trade. We are not sure."
"Pollution..."
Lex and Rhodes looked at each other and seemed a little surprised.
It seems that the problem of the Giant Kingdom is not as simple as they imagined. They must go there to confirm it in person.
"By the way."
At this time, Derian thought of something and continued: "A few days ago, a few mountain giants came here. It seems that they came from the Sea of Forests."
Sea of Forests?
Rhodes' eyes moved.
Could it be the mountain giants who came from Augla and others?
