The Fifty-Third Chapter Family Reunion

  Because there were no more pills of the Light and Dark Systems, the auction ended in just a few days. However, the dragon who went to find the Dragon Emperor's body had not returned yet. With nothing else to do, I spent every day taking Xian Ya around to make friends with dragons. Generally, dragons only paid attention to people with great strength; otherwise, even if it was a king in front of them, they would ignore him completely. Fortunately, I had Ge Ci as my pet, and adding the influence of the pill auction, they were all very enthusiastic towards me, although their enthusiasm for pills was slightly higher than mine. Soon, Poor Dao became close friends with many dragons, and even though we couldn't get any benefits from them now, if we needed help in the future, such powerful assistance would definitely be useful. I found that they didn't know much about outside events; if my grandmother hadn't been a Dragon Knight, they wouldn't have known me either. However, they did know our dragon family because our clan had a long history and had produced two Sword Gods, and there had only ever been eight Sword Gods in the entire continent, with only one remaining now.

  I don't know if the relationship between dragons and elves is good or bad, but I've seen a lot of dragon materials on my grandmother's body before, so I'm afraid she got them by killing dragons. If her methods are not clean and the dragon tribe finds out, won't that be asking for trouble? So I've never let my elf Wina show up, and several times she asked to but I sent her back with honeyed words, and also agreed to a series of unequal treaties afterwards. Alas, having powerful helpers is a headache in itself, just managing their relationships is enough to give one a headache!

  After several more days, the dragon that was sent out finally brought back the body of the Dragon Emperor, a huge and unsightly skeleton. The entire dragon clan had turned out, and the scene was truly grand. More than two thousand dragons were circling in the sky, constantly roaring. The sound was mournful and desolate, making this outsider feel heartache. It seemed that this was their funeral ritual!

  After the commotion had died down, several elders brought the Dragon Emperor's remains to the Dragon's Graveyard. Once everything was settled, the Great Elder Skarwit came looking for me in person. At that time, he had transformed into a human form and looked like a kind old man.

  "We are deeply grateful for the news you brought us, and you shall win the friendship of the Dragon Clan!" He said, handing me an exquisite horn, "Please accept our return gift!"

  "Thank you!" I took it over and examined it carefully. This horn seemed to be made from a certain animal's horn, about one foot long, with a pure white color, smooth like jade, without any carving marks on the surface, all natural patterns. At first glance, I didn't feel anything, but as soon as my hand touched it, I sensed the turbulent and surging magical power fluctuations inside.

  Sikawiete saw my puzzled look and explained with a smile: "This is the 'Dragon Clan's Friendship', its sound can be transmitted very far, depending on your magic power, at your current level you can transmit dozens of miles."

  "What's the effect?"

  "The dragon tribe that heard the voice will come back to help you, of course there are some restrictions, such as during battles, saving your life is okay, but we won't participate in your human wars! Also, you can use it infinitely, but after you die, we'll take it back."

  Haha! I, the poor Taoist, am an immortal god. Now you're in a situation where you'll be beaten like a meat-filled bun hitting a dog, and there's no turning back! The poor Taoist laughed and said: "There aren't many of you on this continent, even if I were a law god, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to blow very far! If I couldn't find you, then isn't this thing quite useless?"

  "It was made after the horn of the living White Dragon King was broken off, it is the best light system staff, and when it is used as magic, it will produce a large-scale spell 'Hymn of Light'!"

  "Heavens! A 10th-tier spell, a magical artifact that can seal a 10th-tier spell, isn't that a divine artifact?! " The poor Daoist asked excitedly. This 'Hymn of Light' is really something else, only the purest priests can use it, sometimes even the Red Robed Bishops won't be able to. In the entire Church of Light, there are only about ten people who can use it. The 'Hymn of Light' can increase the recipient's power and speed by a factor of two, grant them nearly infinite stamina, and possess an extremely strong regenerative ability. Even if they're stabbed in the chest, as long as their heart isn't pierced, they'll slowly recover to their original state. It's truly the top choice for spells on the battlefield!"

  "That White Dragon King had concentrated almost all of his magical power into his horn when it was cut off, but then our Dragon Emperor personally used the dragon clan's secret method to modify it and gave it as a gift to someone who has greatly contributed to the dragon clan. Of course, it is a divine artifact!"

  "How come I've never heard of it?"

  "Because you're its first owner!"

  "Oh, I see! No wonder it only has these functions?"

  "It also comes with the 'Dragon's Wrath' spell, and just hearing its voice is enough to make even a 9th-level demon tremble with fear. That's what it means - as long as you have it in your hands, anyone who dares to kill you will be hunted down by the dragon clan!"

  "Haha! So it means I'm under the protection of the Dragon Clan? But who knows about it?"

  "We will inform the entire continent!"

  "Never mind, I don't want to rely on you guys for a living! I don't want people to know about our relationship, okay?"

  "Why?"

  "If everyone were afraid of me and kept their distance, it would be so boring!"

  "Alright then! We respect your decision!"

  "I've been out for so long and I want to go back quickly, but I have too many things and the spatial ring can't hold them all. Can you please send a dragon to take me back?"

  "Of course, I know your difficulties, take this as a personal thank you from me!" The elder gave me a ring.

  "Space Ring!" The poor Taoist recognized it, "It's too precious, how can I afford it?!"

  "Here it is! Inside, there's only the 'Dragon Spirit Grass' of the Guangming system that you wanted! Its space is the largest, with 1,000 cubic meters!"

  "Take it and thank you!" The poor Tao took it over, looked inside, and saw a very spacious space with only two small grasses emitting white light floating inside.

  "I'll send a dragon of the Wind Clan to escort you! Take care on your journey!"

  "Take care!"

  The Emperor of the Great Han Empire was recently in a terrible mood. His Empress, Shi Yuan, had been nagging him nonstop with her crying and tantrums, to the point where he was at his wit's end. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore and locked her up in the Shi Yuan estate as well. As for the Empress, he could still tolerate her, but when it came to the Grand Duke, he had no choice but to give in. After all, behind the Grand Duke was the Church, an existence that he dared not provoke. If not for considering the power of his own household, he would have truly wanted to release the Shi Yuan family. Now, every morning when he woke up, the first thing he did was pray to the gods - please let the child of the Long family be born safely! As long as he returned, he would immediately grant him a title and give him the best and largest fiefdom, just so that he could stay far away from him.

  The entire country of Dahua is busy with my affairs, the troops and police in the surrounding areas of the capital have all been dispatched to find me. Within a radius of several hundred miles, there are people searching for me everywhere, it can be said that every place has been searched by multiple groups multiple times. It's causing panic among the people, with complaints filling the air. Even in the distant northern border, because of my affairs, the Xuanwu Army Corps is assembled and waiting for orders. As long as the Shi family is exterminated, this elite army corps of the Shi family will definitely betray. In response, our two army corps, Qinglong and Zhuque, have also been assembled and are ready to attack the Xuanwu Army Corps' base at any time. The war is on the verge of breaking out!

  But that's not the worst of it, yesterday, two letters with extremely severe wording were delivered to the king at the fastest speed through magical messengers. My grandmother and great aunt meant almost the same thing: if something happens to me, the Ishihara family must be punished, otherwise they don't mind finding the king themselves. The king's troubles have increased, ah, civil war, just thinking about it makes his heart ache. If he loses the Genbu army corps, who will resist the barbarians of the four northern territories? How much money and time would it take to rebuild a new corps? And if he suddenly loses the Minister of Finance, the kingdom's finances will be in chaos for a long time, who will bear the loss? Especially with neighboring countries taking advantage of the situation to invade. Their relationship is not ordinary, especially with the Carte Kingdom that was just harmed by the Ishihara family, it's said that their border troops are now gathering, and may attack at any moment. Just thinking about this makes the king restless, in just over a dozen days he has lost several circles of weight.

  Just as His Majesty the King was suffering, I, the savior, returned safely.

  The poor Taoist bid farewell to the wind system giant dragon outside the city and returned with a leisurely ride, arriving at the city gate when it was already dark. When the people on the city gate knew that I had returned, they suddenly burst into a warm welcome, making me feel embarrassed. When did I become so popular? Immediately after hearing their cheers, I understood the reason!

  "My goodness! The 10,000 gold coin reward has come on its own!"

  Damn it! Depressing! I'm worth just this much money!
