451. Fall

"The Radical Faction Wizard... their leader is Allen Smith, a guy I have absolutely no recollection of... but rumors say he not only developed the fourth tier of the Arrogant Wizard, [Arrogant Rogue], successfully ascending to the Wizard King, but is also climbing towards even higher ranks..."

This made Sulu sigh.

Indeed, talented people, even if they remain unknown, will eventually stand out.

In comparison, people like Ham and Silver Eye, who weren't particularly talented and were mostly just lucky, were gradually eliminated over time.

"Sir, what should we do with this fellow?"

Seeing the Wizard lying motionless on the ground, unable to even speak, with a look of terror in his eyes, David and Karl stepped forward and asked him.

"Burn it."

Sulu rubbed his hands together.

The chains that had bound the Wizard immediately burst into pale white flames.

Beneath the soul-scorching flames, the old Wizard turned to ashes without uttering a single word.

'This is truly... utterly reckless.'

This scene made Karl frown deeply. No matter how cruel and evil this old Wizard was, he was still a member of the Arrogant School.

If they're killed like this, there will definitely be terrible retaliation afterwards.

Doesn't this young man know fear?

"Well then... I should take my leave."

Sulu looked at David and the others and smiled.

The changes taking place in the Dragon World have slightly exceeded his expectations.

He decided to stop hiding and observing slowly and instead went directly to the kingdom's supreme ruler— the Messiah!

This Dragon Queen should know more than ordinary people.

"Grown ups!"

"Your Mightiness!"

David's face showed anxiety. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't decide whether to follow the other party.

But unexpectedly, the opportunity slipped away in the blink of an eye.

He wanted to say something more, but he saw an invisible door seem to open in the void, swallowing up Lord Sulu's figure.

Immediately, the other person vanished, as if they had never existed.

Royal City.

Dragon Queen Messiah, the Dragon Queen, wore an exquisite crown and a scarlet robe embroidered with gold trim. She leaned back on her throne, looking slightly tired.

After becoming Queen, she realized that many things cannot be solved by violence.

Furthermore, the Dawn of Gods and the resurgence of the Spirit Tide bring about a constantly changing world.

Noble rebellions were no longer a major threat to the kingdom. What truly exhausted her was the endless stream of extraordinary events within the kingdom, as well as the powerful challenges from other forces.

"But in any case, I will uphold the glory that came from Dragon I!"

Messiah murmured to himself, gazing out the window.

A dragon's shadow swept past, a gift from her teacher years ago, and now her greatest source of confidence.

I just don't know where the teacher went...

Just as Messiah was pondering, her senses were suddenly activated, and she looked toward the center of the study.

The light streaming through the window distorted in that instant, seemingly forming a portal of light.

A figure slowly emerged from within, smiling slightly, and said, "Messiah, you've grown up."

Sulu carefully examined this ' Dragon Queen '. Eight years had passed, and the girl had grown into a young woman, tall and slender with a mature face, exuding a regal and imposing aura.

This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated without truly wielding power and having one's words and actions determine the life and death of hundreds or thousands of people.

The blend of majesty and beauty gives this Queen a unique charm.

"Are you... a teacher?"

Messiah, who had just raised the bell, put it down again, her beautiful eyes fixed on Sulu, asking with surprise and uncertainty.

"It's me, I'm back."

Sulu stepped forward and, following his familiar memory, gave Messiah a gentle pat on the head; the feeling was just as it had before.

"Teacher..."

Messiah, however, let out a coquettish reproach, seeming quite uncomfortable.

"Roar!"

Outside, a dragon's roar echoed, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

A huge dragon with vertical pupils peered through the window, clearly sensing some of its owner's emotions.

"Oh? A Green Dragon?"

Sulu opened the window and saw the Great Dragon unique to the Dragon World —its emerald green scales, like the finest jade, shimmered in the sunlight. It was over seven meters long, with a row of barbs on its back, claws at the tips of its massive fleshy wings, a tail, and two powerful hind legs.

"Yes, I call it ' Dragon '! It's the little guy that hatched from that petrified dragon Dragon Egg, it's like my child."

"The Messiah said proudly."

"Not bad, you're growing up quickly, you're already in your youth..."

Sulu didn't know how long the maturation period for Great Dragon in this world was, but he clearly sensed that the other party had not yet advanced to the legendary realm.

Although Great Dragon are legendary species, they must reach adulthood before they can truly reach the strength of the fifth rank.

Back then, Dragon I rode several fifth-tier adult Great Dragon.

At this moment, the young Green Dragon was at most at the peak of the fourth rank or 'near the fifth rank'. Messiah's strength was also slightly lower than he had expected. He was not a fifth-rank [Dragon Shepherd], but only a fourth-rank [Beast Master]!

Of course, since they already possess Great Dragon, the Path of Legend the Messiah is smooth sailing. Once the Green Dragon comes of age, they can naturally achieve their goal with the help of their companion.

This requires the accumulation of time; it's a legendary chasm that's not so easy to cross.

"However, the Great Dragon's strength still needs to be trained and developed..."

Sulu imparted some advanced esoteric knowledge to Messiah: "Even among adult Great Dragon, there are differences in strength, and there are also six levels of ancient Ancient Dragon..."

Since the seventh rank is a unique profession, the peak that any race or group can reach without effort by relying on bloodline is the sixth rank!

However, there are ways to break through this constraint.

For example... learn and work like humans, and become a professional Great Dragon!

"Alright, Your Queen, it's time to discuss other matters."

After a brief instruction, Sulu stared at Messiah with a half-smile, "Violet Territory, and the Arrogant School... how are they doing lately?"

"Teacher... you knew all along?"

Messiah's face paled. "I'm sorry... When the schools of thought split, although I tried my best, I couldn't help the Rationalist Faction win. I could only protect some of their students."

Without the kingdom's protection, the Rationalist Faction of the Arrogant School would likely have been wiped out.

"Oh?"

Sulu wasn't particularly surprised. After seeing Messiah's strength, he didn't blame him, since his own weakness was unavoidable. "How many are left?"

"The Silver Eye Wizard has fallen in factional strife; I can only save the Ham Wizard."

The Messiah answered.

"Silver Eye... is he dead?"

Sulu closed his eyes slightly, and scenes from the past seemed to reappear before his eyes.
