Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 605 - 605 603 Spirit Dragon

Chapter 605: Chapter 603: Spirit Dragon Chapter 605: Chapter 603: Spirit Dragon “How come your Phantom Beast talents are so strong?” inside the side hall, King Ares looked at Russell’s forehead and said, not without envy.

He too was a Fifth-layer high-ranking Phantom Beast Knight, having contracted with five Phantom Beasts.

But not a single Phantom Beast was willing to cultivate on its own, nor had any experienced life-and-death crises, let alone ascended to the status of Pseudo-Dragon. And after his promotion to Dragon Knight, the five Phantom Beasts were essentially just kept in the Golden Palace.

For daily rides, he rode a contracted Bipedal Flying Dragon, and for longer trips, he rode a Fiery Dragon, without any need for Phantom Beasts.

“It’s destiny’s guidance that has brought me and those of the same path together,” Russell said with a smile, “under the watch of Dragons, bathed in radiant light.”

“I’ve never admired anyone in my life, but you’re the first,” King Ares said, “In the practice of the Way of the Knight, you surpass everyone. Over the past five thousand years of the Warm Age, together with five thousand years of the Dark Ages, I fear no one has talents like you.”

Pausing for a moment, King Ares added, “Especially when it comes to choosing partners… tsk tsk, out of the five Phantom Beasts, three have ascended to Pseudo-Dragons, one has ascended to a Phantom Dragon… Oh right, your fifth Phantom Beast, has just been contracted, its future achievements yet unseen.”

This person’s achievements are unparalleled under heaven and on earth.

There are none before him, and I fear…none will come after.

“How should I put it, in choosing partners, my partners are also choosing me, only mutual pursuit results in mutual victory,” Russell said with a laugh.

Aside from Harpy Hape, for whom he had put much effort.

Sacred Unicorn Polly was a mutual pursuit, Nightmare Beast Senbula was a mutual pursuit, Ouroboros was a mutual pursuit, Dream-Eater Boar Tapir was the same—of course, their mutual pursuit was for the Little Dream Dragon.

But the Little Dream Dragon and Russell were one, pursuing the Little Dream Dragon was no different from pursuing him.

“Ah, I really should push my contracted Phantom Beasts harder,” King Ares lamented half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Subsequently, the two discussed the affairs of the Molten Fire Duchy.

The distance was too great, and while knights with their fighting spirit could surely migrate without hindrance, it would be difficult for ordinary people.

“Your Majesty, if you are unwilling to accept the commoners, you can leave them to me, my country is in dire need of people. I will do my utmost to ensure the safety of the commoners on their migration route.”

“Really?”

“Truly!”

“Alright, my country has a sufficient population, so I won’t compete with you for the commoners,” King Ares didn’t actually want that many commoners, but on the surface, giving up on competing for them seemed like a painful sacrifice, showcasing the king’s benevolence.

Quickly reaching an agreement, Russell continued, “But I need Your Majesty’s assistance.”

“Please speak.”

“I plan to rebuild the Cold Spring Points along the migration route and stockpile enough supplies. For this, I need Your Majesty’s help to support my country with a batch of supplies to reduce casualties.”

“That’s only right,” King Ares nodded, “Let the cabinets of both countries hash out the specifics.”

“Good.”

Russell raised his tea cup, “With tea in place of wine, a toast to Your Majesty.”

“Toasting!” King Ares raised his glass cheerfully, “These are tough times, but as long as the human kingdoms unite, we will surely get through them together. The Warm Age will not falter due to the arrival of the Frost Snow Giants, and we will not return to the Dark Ages!”

“Well said by Your Majesty!”

Putting down the tea cup, King Ares added, “The observatory has already predicted the time for the third Frost Star Eclipse, at the end of February. Every Frost Star Eclipse brings the descent of Frost Snow Giants, and this time is likely no exception.”

“However many come, that many we shall slay!” Russell said gravely.

“Thunder Sound Station has already spread from the Ancient Thornland across nearby lands, including the Northern Ice Fields, Magma Lands, and the Dragonspine Mountains, with more than ten nations joining in,” Moltenfire said. There was no connection between Magma Lands and the Molten Fire Duchy.

“Your Majesty, why not convene a Thunder Voice Conference to discuss how human nations can unite to face the emergence of the Frost Snow Giants?”

“That’s an excellent suggestion!”

“Then it shall be up to Your Majesty to preside over this matter.” Russell had no desire to show off. Right now, he was eagerly waiting for the volcanic eruption of the Little Dream Dragon. Without becoming a Dragon Knight, he always felt inferior in front of King Ares.

After finishing the tea and discussing the details of the first Thunder Voice Conference,

Russell took his leave. A purple lightning mark on his forehead flickered faintly, and he disappeared into the Gloomy Dreamland, quickly returning to Red Castle through the space-time shift within the Gloomy Dreamland.

Even after trying it many times, Russell was still amazed at such swift teleportation.

Senbula had become his capable assistant.

Of course, Polly was also his reliable assistant; beyond the four teleportation points, he had to ride Polly for travel.

…

Mid-February, the first Thunder Voice Conference was held as scheduled.

Inside the main Thunder Sound Station at Red Castle, the staff hurried back and forth. Several Thunder Sound machines vibrated continuously, sketching out dense symbols that were then encoded into text by the staff.

As soon as new information arrived, it was immediately delivered into Russell’s hands.

“The situation has truly become dire!” Russell looked at the content on the Thunder Sound machine and frowned deeply.

The conference hadn’t started yet, and he had already received bad news: the Ice Ridge Duchy in the Ancient Northern Snow Plains had reported the fall of an Ice Ridge Dragon.

The Duchy had not yet joined the Thunder Sound system, so the news was delayed; the dragon had fallen a month ago, but the news had just reached them. Moreover, it was worth noting that the Ice Edge Duke was the rider of the Ice Ridge Dragon.

That is to say, it was the fall of a Dragon Knight.

The Thunder Voice Conference continued, and Kings and Grand Dukes from various countries expressed deep condolences for the Ice Edge Duke and the Ice Ridge Dragon—even though, previously, many had not heard of such a nation—Russell also mourned deeply.

“The rise of the Frost Snow Giants is becoming more unstoppable, and venturing into the snowfields increasingly dangerous. Must we really retreat to the volcanoes and never leave our homes again? Are we humans to be completely isolated?” Duke Moltenfire from Magma Lands spoke out angrily in the Thunder Sound.

“King Debuloye, do you have any guidance for us?” Another Grand Duke directly asked the King of the Pyro Lykin Kingdom.

This was a rare kingdom with three giant dragons, considered the strongest nation.

King Debuloye’s Thunder Sound was swiftly transmitted through the Thunder Sound machines across the countries: “Returning the dragons to Ancient Times is the only method to deal with this. I have here the Tri-Dragon Sacrifice Method, compiled and studied over generations. You may wish to review it together.”

Following that, the Thunder Sound machine kept shaking, and King Debuloye directly published all the details of the Tri-Dragon Sacrifice Method.

The Thunder Voice Conference fell into a brief pause.

Clearly, all the Kings and the Grand Dukes were busy studying the details of the Tri-Dragon Sacrifice Method.

Russell was no exception, carefully reading it from beginning to end.

He had already heard about a lot of the content from King Ares, but this time it was more detailed and complete.

In this Tri-Dragon Sacrifice Method, the concept of “Ancient Times” was explained.

“In the Ancient Era, Dragon Sleep Continent was called Spirit Dragon Forest Sea. There were no giant dragons, but the rules of growth and evolution for all living things were controlled by a mystical creature called ‘Spirit Dragon.’ Born from the essence of all living things, these creatures became dragons, hence the name Spirit Dragon.”

“Spirit Dragon?” Russell raised an eyebrow, “Is the hope for the giants to return to Ancient Times to evolve into the Spirit Dragons of the Ancient Era?”
