Chapter 1983: Chapter 598: Dragon Lizard Prophet
Deep in the crevices of the Dok Mountain Range lies the dark earth cave, the ancestral land where the Dragon Blood Lizard Clan has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
The complex cave is also a volcanic cavern, with a constant overflow of hot Fire Elemental Air from the depths of the earth.
When Leonard Churchill and his companions received the negotiation invitation, several elders of the Lizard Race gathered in the ancient Divine Temple of the cave for a high-level meeting.
"Clan Chief Morey, why did you suddenly invite that rebellion leader to negotiate? Wasn’t it already decided that we would remain neutral? Or are you truly planning to let them pass through our land?"
"It’s best not to provoke those humans. If we let them pass, both Silver Wind City and the Red Dragon Royal Family would hold us accountable. It wouldn’t be beneficial for us, the Dragon Lizard Clan..."
"Indeed, Morey. We previously rejected the joint ambush plan with the Silver Wind City Lord because we didn’t want to provoke the Human Rebellion Army. After all, their numbers are overwhelming. Even if we did join Silver Wind City to ambush their leader, their nearly one million-strong army would surely unleash their wrath on us. Besides, I’ve found that this rebellion army isn’t as evil as the rumors suggest... Keeping neutral was the best choice."
"..."
In the Divine Temple, several elders of the Lizard Race fiercely discussed the newly received information, filled with confusion.
They couldn’t understand why the clan chief suddenly changed from a neutral stance.
Moreover, without passing it through the Elder Council, he sent a negotiation invitation to the Human Rebellion Army.
This could be a decision that significantly impacts the future fate of the Dragon Lizard Clan, and the elders couldn’t treat it lightly.
Seeing the elders growing more and more agitated, the old lizardman with a red flame totem on his forehead said simply: "This is the guidance of the Prophet."
With these words, the vast Divine Temple suddenly fell silent.
The elders looked at each other, but no one spoke further, instead becoming instantly calm and reflective.
"The Prophet" is the most uniquely esteemed existence within the Dragon Lizard Clan, and also the longest-living member.
So much so that even the elders do not know the birth age of the Prophet, only that he seems as ancient as the history of the Dragon Lizard Clan itself.
In the memory of every generation of elders, he is a benevolent and wise elder.
This mysterious elder has used prophecies to guide the entire Dragon Lizard Clan through crises many times.
He is also the most authoritative spiritual leader of the entire Dragon Lizard Clan.
Even Clan Chief Morey did not understand why the Prophet gave such guidance.
Thus, he convened this Elder Council to convey the message.
Seeing the contemplative elders, Morey added: "The Prophet also mentioned that the Flame Demon sealed underground is about to break free, making this place unsuitable for our Dragon Lizard Clan to survive. In the prophecy, he saw our tribe migrating to a far-off place..."
...
Meanwhile,
Since the decision was made to contact the cave Dragon Lizard Clan, Leonard Churchill wasted no time.
He set out on the journey to the cave for negotiations with Sophia Jones and Barre Shepherd.
Accompanying them were three disciples: Darcy, Isabel, and David.
Leonard Churchill’s current power could easily ensure their safety, and promising students also need the challenges of the world to grow, so it was a good opportunity for them to see the world.
Most importantly, he didn’t believe there was any danger in the upcoming negotiations.
Even if unforeseen danger occurred, Leonard Churchill, Sophia Jones, and Barre Shepherd together could handle almost any problem.
If they couldn’t solve it, hiding in the stronghold wouldn’t solve it either.
On the road, the atmosphere of the six-person negotiation team wasn’t tense; rather, it was quite lighthearted.
The three young ones were somewhat excited to be part of such an important negotiation for the first time, even if it meant venturing deep into enemy territory.
They traveled and conversed as they went.
"If I were those lizardmen, the possibility of an ambush at the negotiating table is low. After all, if they did, the cave Dragon Lizard Clan would inevitably suffer a devastating blow. They have no reason to do such a thing."
"Indeed. But since they don’t plan to ambush us, why reject the passage yesterday and change their mind today?"
"Darcy, what do you think?"
"I think... it might be something we didn’t consider."
"Darcy, don’t you realize you just stated the obvious?"
"..."
Leonard Churchill listened to the youngsters’ discussion, smiling silently.
He didn’t think Darcy’s words were useless; instead, that might be the assumption closest to the truth.
The laws of the universe number fifty, orderly forty-nine, and disorderly one.
Even in Leonard Churchill’s deductions, the lizardmen’s motives couldn’t be reasonably explained, likely triggering that disorder in the universe’s laws.
For example, prophecy.
Although prophecy predicts events that will inevitably happen in the future.
But those skilled in prophecy often make decisions that go against the current operational laws of things.
This can cause errors in the deductions made by "I Am the World."
Other situations could include Leonard Churchill traveling through time, or interference from God Tier powers... and so on.
Leonard Churchill had seen historical records of the Dragon Blood Lizard Clan in the Dok Mountain Range, a clan with a very ancient history, even more so than the three royal families of Airel.
It was a primitive small tribe; besides the occasional young lizardman going out for training, there was little news of them.
This rare Dragon Descendant race is hardly involved in any major historical events, very low-key and mysterious.
Leonard Churchill once met a lizardman named Serli during his time at the Royal Academy, with whom he got along quite well.
