Chapter 520: Chapter 476: Fate Won’t Wait for You to Grow Up_2

Allen excitedly said, "Evidence! What evidence do you have?!"

"The evidence is that he dares not to meet me. With your Emperor’s previous penchant for glory, would he refuse to meet with me time and again?"

"There could be other reasons, such as His Majesty worrying about some plot you might have."

"What plot could possibly kill an Emperor of the Laine Empire? He didn’t even ask for the time or place, he just refused outright. He’s not worried about my plot, just afraid of exposing himself."

Amberser no longer needed to prove anything, the Young Emperor acting this way almost certainly meant he was possessed.

With or without evidence, Amberser treated it as though he had already turned into a Magic Dragon.

So the question arose, now equivalent to being controlled by the Magic Dragon, what exactly was this Tyrant doing?

"Something’s not right, the actions of this Magic Dragon are suspicious. All the disgusting maneuvers by the Young Emperor have been smoothly dealt with, Laine has recovered from the verge of division, and now they have even withstood the fierce invasion of Orcs... Shouldn’t the Magic Dragon be seeking to destroy Laine instead of protecting it?"

Amberser’s muttered words were overheard by Allen, who, like grasping a lifeline, quickly agreed, "Exactly, how could the Magic Dragon still be alive, and even if he were, he wouldn’t be protecting Laine. He’d surely try every possible way to destroy the nation founded by his enemies, you must be mistaken, His Majesty is not under the control of the Magic Dragon."

Amberser couldn’t be bothered to refute Allen’s self-consolation.

Without a doubt, the drastic change in the Laine Emperor was due to being controlled, even if it wasn’t a soul possession, it was a change enforced by a mightier power. As it seemed now, the chances of the Magic Dragon possessing him were high, it was just unclear what the opposing party’s intentions were for the time being.

The best way was still to have a chat with the other party.

Telling the same lie in person and having someone else convey it are completely different matters, so, it was essential to meet this "Magic Dragon Tyrant" face-to-face.

Seeing that Amberser was not interested in listening to him, Allen quickly said, "Master Ultraman, I will find a way to get to the bottom of this, don’t jump to conclusions..."

But Allen was interrupted loudly by Amberser before he could finish.

"Allen! What you need to do now is not find out any truth, but to leave the Imperial Capital, and go back to your own territory."

Allen, however, retorted, "What are you talking about? Whether it’s true or not, I should find out the truth!"

If the Dragon Blood Curse is real, then the greatest danger Laine faces now is not the invasion of the Orcs, but the resurrected Magic Dragon Tyrant! Not uncovering this truth would surely lead Laine to destruction.

"What method do you have to uncover all these? Is this what you should do? Is this what you can do?! Recognize your place and responsibilities, you idiot!"

Amberser rarely cursed out loud, as Allen, looking completely baffled, only got an explanation, "Do you have anyone in the Imperial Capital who can help you? How will you investigate and where will you start? You don’t even know the origins and activation methods of the Dragon Blood Curse, so how can you investigate? How can you, alone in the Imperial Capital, conduct a private investigation without the Magic Dragon noticing? If the Magic Dragon has truly resurrected, do you think you can escape? The moment you start investigating, you’re as good as dead!"

Just how formidable was the Magic Dragon Tyrant in his prime? Even Arthur Laine in his peak had to fight with the resolution of facing death. Does Allen now possess even half of Arthur Laine’s abilities? Allen couldn’t last thirty rounds against Gareth, without even a single Divine Artifact on him, what’s the use in fighting!

Seeing that Allen wanted to explain, Amberser interrupted angrily again, "Do you think you are still that naïve youngster who knew nothing? Is your life so easily sacrificed? Have you considered those who are willing to follow you? What will they do?"

"You are now a spiritual leader for half of Laine, so start doing what a leader should do! It’s easy to speak of sacrifice, but how can you be worthy of the trust others place in you?! If you die in the Imperial Capital and the Magic Dragon truly resurrects, who will lead Laine against the Magic Dragon? Are you expecting me, a single Lich, to clean up the mess in Laine?"

Amberser was truly angry. He had thought that this youngster had grown up, that finally, Laine could evolve according to Amberser’s plans, but at the critical moment, blind sentimentality prevailed. If Allen died in the Laine Imperial Capital, then Laine would truly fall completely into the hands of this Magic Dragon Tyrant, making all of Amberser’s efforts to induce division in Laine utterly in vain.

Amberser’s words left Allen speechless, he remembered those Laine People who had supported him wholeheartedly, preferring to confront the Emperor to become his supporters. Yet now, as the external enemies invaded, it seemed Laine was about to reunite, and Allen was shocked by the major event of the Magic Dragon’s resurrection, completely failing to consider this point.

Allen took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "You’re right. I was too impulsive."

Amberser sighed and said, "Allen, I know that sacrifice is part of the Paladin’s vow, but sometimes sacrifice is easy, surviving is the real challenge! Grow up quickly, else your family and friends will all suffer from your recklessness."

Allen had completely awakened, and said to Amberser, "Understood, I will leave the Imperial Capital immediately and get ready."

"Hurry up and go. I hope that when the Magic Dragon truly resurrects, you can lead a large army to the Imperial Capital, instead of charging in alone!"

Amberser angrily ended the communication, hoping that the youngster was not just talking, at this critical moment it was imperative not to jeopardize the promising situation.
