Searching for Dragons

At first, I didn't understand what Jarvan meant, but after an explanation, I realized that he felt he was too weak!

He didn't want to always live under someone else's protection, so he wanted to ask me what his other self was like in another world, and if there were any ways to become stronger. 🍟♣ ♝☮

I do know a bit about this. When I traveled from Shurima to Demacia, I passed through the Southern Forest and met Jarvan and Shvana there. At that time, he had just been bathed in dragon blood and could transform into a dragon.

Later, in the Sea of the Watchers, they encountered the ancient Light Dragon Garr, and learned that he was the ancestor of the House of Lightshield, and that all generations of Jarvan had the bloodline of the Light Dragon.

If Jarvan could awaken this bloodline, he would definitely become stronger, but with my current abilities, I am not capable of going deep into the ocean. If I go there rashly, I might be mistaken for an enemy.

Moreover, we are now in a different world, and it's impossible to be sure if Garr is still around. If he isn't, all our efforts will have been in vain, and he might even have perished at sea.

The most reliable way at present seems to be to go to the southern forest and see if we can find one or two dragons, and try to get some Dragon Blood to activate his bloodline.

I didn't reveal the secret of the Lightshield Clan directly. Garr had specifically instructed me to keep it a secret, and no one would believe me if I said it outright. After much thought, I decided to use the legend of the hero to move him:

"I do know something about you. In my previous world, you were a dragon slayer."

"Dragon Slayer? Am I that powerful?"

"If you trust me, we can venture into the southern forests; it's a great place to improve your strength."

"Of course I believe you! Your actions have proven that you are a trustworthy person."

"Shall we set off as soon as possible?"

"Don't set off too early, let's leave now!"

Jarvan was in high spirits and was about to take action. "I originally wanted to go to the northern battlefield to stabilize the situation, but now I can only entrust Yasuo and the others to maintain it. I believe he can do it."

Zhao Xin, Fiora, and the others were worried about letting Jarvan go with me alone, so they decided to come with us so they could look after him.

Having too many people can sometimes be inconvenient, so Jarvan decided to let Zhao Xin travel with us, while Fiora and the others went north with Garen.

Before setting off, Garen presented Jarvan with the Sunfire Cape, a heirloom of the House of Lightshield. Wearing it could effectively ward off poisonous insects and increase safety.

I also had them each carry a Nullifying Weapon to deal with the dragon's elemental attacks. After these simple preparations, we set off.

The entire southern region of the Valoran Continent has now been ravaged by Camille, except for the southern jungles of Demacia, which remain untouched.

First, the area is largely uninhabited and lacks strategic value; second, the environment is harsh, with dragons frequently appearing, making it extremely dangerous.

We searched for hidden paths to avoid being spotted by Piltover's spies, and it took us almost ten days to reach the dense forest.

Zhao Xin is from Ionia and is very well adapted to the jungle climate. I had no problem wearing the Project armor, but Jarvan was having a hard time.

He had never ventured out into this world before, and his physical abilities were quite average, making it difficult for him to cope with various poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, the Sunfire Cape that Garen gave him provided some protection, and with my and Zhao Xin's careful precautions, nothing went wrong.

Our goal was to find the dragon, so we didn't bother to hide our tracks. We wandered through the dense forest for several days until we finally heard a deep roar.

In the later stages of the Void War, I often spent time with various dragons, so I was very familiar with this roar and immediately quickened my pace to catch up.

Sure enough, when we reached a relatively sparsely wooded high ground, we discovered a giant dragon glaring at us.

This is a dark yellow Earth Element Dragon. I remember Jarvan slew an Earth Element Dragon when he bathed in dragon blood. It seems that some things haven't changed.

"Good heavens, the dragon is just like the legends say, it's enormous!"

"Watch out, Your Majesty! It has spotted us!"

As soon as Zhao Xin finished speaking, the giant dragon roared in, accompanied by a powerful Wind Force that swept across the sky.

The three of us immediately split up, using the terrain to our advantage to avoid the dragon's attacks. However, it was an Earth Element Dragon, and while the terrain was initially in our favor, it was quickly reversed.

When the surroundings became open, we had nowhere to hide.

Zhao Xin and I were alright; we were able to dodge the dragon's attacks thanks to our agile Martial Arts. Jarvan, however, had it much harder, stumbling and falling in constant danger.

The dragon possessed advanced intelligence similar to that of humans; it could tell that Jarvan was relatively weak, so it kept launching attacks against him.

Zhao Xin slowly moved closer to Jarvan. The two of them were still struggling to fight back. Fortunately, the Earth Dragon's attacks weren't too strong, otherwise they would have been injured long ago.

I haven't used my full strength all day because I don't want to kill the dragon. It would be best if we could resolve the issue through dialogue.

I know dragons can understand human languages, and some can even speak, but how do I start the conversation? I can't exactly say I've come to borrow dragon blood, can I?

After careful consideration, I realized there were no other options in this situation, so I decided to give it a try:

"Can you understand me, Earth Dragon? We're not here to provoke you, please stop!"

The dragon didn't respond to me; instead, its attacks intensified. Having no other option, I had to invoke their ancestors:

"Believe me, I know the ancient Earth Dragon Ers!"

Upon hearing the name, the dragon paused for a moment, clearly understanding me, but then immediately pounced again, ignoring my words!

This made me a little angry. They don't even respect Ancient Dragon. Anyone who's just a cub is an impudent fool. Well then, there's no need to be polite!

Zhao Xin and I attacked from both sides, wielding our Nullifying Weapon, while I used the Hextech Rope to restrain its movements and free Jarvan.

The damp ground became pitted and uneven; we hadn't lost much blood, just covered in mud.

Soon I found an opportunity to entangle the dragon's legs together, while Zhao Xin and Jarvan attacked its wings. Seeing its massive body begin to topple, the three of us retreated far away.

The dragon lay on the ground, struggling desperately, but unable to break free of the Hextech Rope. Jarvan watched it nervously, panting heavily.

Did we win?

"Wait a little longer; it still has plenty of energy. It's best not to get close now."

"By the way Ezreal, why did I hear you talking to it just now? You not only know us people, but you even know the dragon?"

"Uh... I don't know these ordinary dragons, but I do know their ancestors. It's just that I dare not meet them rashly in this world, or I would be in trouble."

"Haha, how amazing! The ancestor of dragons! I really want to meet him!"
