"Of course, I understand what you mean."
Xiluo nodded as he spoke after hearing the Softscale Silver Dragon Karl's words.
But his brow remained tightly furrowed.
This puzzled Karl, who asked:
"What is it? Something seems to be troubling you."
"You haven't forgotten that Legendary Frost Titan, have you?" Xiluo looked worried.
"Of course not."
The Softscale Silver Dragon shook his head.
"That fellow escaped from us before. I don't believe he'll just let it go," Xiluo voiced his concern.
"Heh... Xiluo, you're making far too much of this.
We scared that fellow out of his wits long ago! How would he dare come to Niro City to die?"
Abel, one of the Dragon Cubs, cut in.
His expression was somewhat disdainful.
"Exactly! Even recovering from his injuries shouldn't take this long, should it?
If he wanted revenge, he'd have come long ago.
A full six years have passed. You and Karl must have frightened him off, Xiluo!"
The Quicksilver Dragon Xilian also spoke with complete confidence.
Xiluo listened to the dragons.
His tightly furrowed brow still did not relax.
Finally, even Barbara could not help speaking:
"Xiluo! No matter what, we cannot miss this Dragonkind Tournament.
Being so afraid of a Legendary Titan isn't like you!
If that fellow never shows up again, are you going to stay holed up in Niro City with us forever?
Then Niro City would no longer be an asset to you, but a burden!"
"!"
Only upon hearing those words did Xiluo relax his brow.
He looked at Barbara and nodded:
"You have a point.
Worrying about this and that until Niro City becomes a burden would hardly be wise!
Even without us, the whole city is far beyond what it was six years ago.
Twelve thousand soldiers.
More numerous and more advanced
