Meriya's appearance and identity as a Fairy Dragon surprised Chen Rui. He remembered Lola once saying that she had originally come from the human world and entered the Demon Realm through her research and explorations. Could this Fairy Dragon Great Elder before him be connected to Lola?
Still, even if they resembled each other somewhat, being from the same Fairy Dragon clan—or even related by blood—proved nothing. The struggles among the Dragon Race were no less fierce than those among humans or devils; Augulas and Wukalius were the finest examples. Rashly mentioning Lola's name would be unwise. Since he had already confirmed that she was the Great Elder of Dragon Valley, he should first find a way through the crisis at hand.
Seeing the Great Elder appear and immediately seize control of the enemy with overwhelming superiority, the red dragon Rusorla was overjoyed and hurried forward. "Lady Meriya, fortunately you arrived in time..."
Meriya raised a hand, stopping Rusorla's report. She merely studied Chen Rui with great interest.
"Armor of Faith? No... If it were Armor of Faith, then either you would be a demigod, or a follower of some powerful being. But Armor of Faith of this form and strength is something even followers of false gods might not possess." Meriya lightly propped her chin on her hand. "Your law power is rather unusual as well. Its might far surpasses that of ordinary Kingdom-level powerhouses, especially that Law of Time. Yet I can sense that your true understanding of laws seems insufficient for the Kingdom level... No matter what, you should make an excellent research subject."
The term "research subject," along with the gaze behind those lenses, gave Chen Rui a strangely familiar feeling. It was as though he had returned to the days when he first met Lola.
