179: Chapter 179 Silver Dragon Emily

Aside from confirming that the Lionheart Merchant Guild's headquarters were in the Lionheart Kingdom, they found nothing.

This also made them more apprehensive, not daring to act recklessly, and could only silently gather information in secret.

Although they didn't gather any useful information, they did discover many surprising things in the Lionheart Kingdom.

Besides the unknown origins of its experts, the Lionheart Kingdom actually had three hundred Earth Element Masters. This was no small number; an ordinary kingdom would be doing remarkably well to have a few dozen Magisters!

Note that it's Magisters, not Earth Element Masters, as mages also have various attributes.

However, the abnormal number wasn't what surprised the reconnaissance personnel the most. What they found most unbelievable was that all three hundred Earth Element Masters were engaged in construction work for the kingdom.

Those were Magister-level experts, with lifespans of up to three hundred years, capable of easily confronting tens of thousands of ordinary troops.

And they were mages! Where was the pride of those Magisters?

Besides those Magisters, the Lionheart Kingdom's naval fleet also greatly surprised the reconnaissance personnel.

As reconnaissance personnel, they were well-informed and easily recognized that all ten of the Lionheart Kingdom's main battleships came from the Thunder Empire.

Although they were just export versions, each one cost two hundred million gold coins!

Ten ships amounted to two billion, which was roughly the cash reserves of an average royal family. It made people sigh at the Lionheart Kingdom's immense wealth!

However, money was a minor matter. The export version of the Thunder Empire's main battleships was very popular.

And this thing was a giant, three hundred meters long, not quick to build. An ordinary person who could buy one was considered capable.

For example, the Lionheart Kingdom previously had to ask the Dawn Merchant Guild for help just to buy one!

Yet there were ten here, which made one ponder deeply!

Additionally, the reconnaissance personnel also discovered that each main battleship was equipped with six high-grade magic crystal cannons.

It's important to know that the energy cannonballs fired by high-grade magic crystal cannons were comparable to Ninth-level Magic. Only Empires could produce them, and they were not items that could be freely bought and sold even within the Empire.

Now, the Lionheart Kingdom's navy actually possessed sixty such items, which made one shiver with dread upon closer thought!

Could the Lionheart Kingdom be secretly supported by the Thunder Empire?

All these abnormal signs caused this conjecture to surface in the minds of the spies!

They then sent all their observations and conjectures back to their respective countries. As for what impact this would have, that was beyond their knowledge!

If the aforementioned individuals were merely gathering and transmitting information, posing no threat to Arthur's current life, then...

The arrival of an uninvited guest would shatter this peace!

As Arthur left the royal capital to familiarize himself with his power, a young woman with silver hair, clad in exquisite silver armor, suddenly appeared in an unknown alley in the Lionheart Kingdom's royal capital.

The silver armor perfectly accentuated the young woman's figure, highlighting her curves in all the right places, truly flawless.

However, what was most striking were the young woman's crystal-like silver pupils, which held a hint of scrutiny, indicating her extraordinary identity.

Arthur's private merchant guild selling dragon blood was a good thing for humans, but for the Dragon Clan, it was a different story!

Most likely, someone was imprisoning Dragons and bleeding them, otherwise, where would so much blood for sale come from?

And the young woman was Emily Tumen of the Dragon Clan..., a Silver Dragon among the Dragons, who commanded the spatial attribute.

Due to this special attribute, the Silver Dragon clan members are essentially the Dragon Clan's patrol officers. They not only manage Dragons but also other races that extensively persecute the Dragon Clan.

Of course, given the Dragon Clan's current decline, they generally only manage Dragons residing on Dragon Island.

As for Dragons adventuring alone outside, whether they live or die, they generally do not interfere, unless those Dragons are forcibly bound by humans with slave contracts and taken as mounts.

Or if they are imprisoned and bled by humans, or subjected to other acts that insult the Dragon Clan's dignity, then they will intervene.

The Lionheart Merchant Guild's act of selling dragon blood was highly suspicious, which is why Emily came.

Emily received the news a bit later than others, which is why she only arrived in the Lionheart Kingdom now.

Having tracked the Lionheart Merchant Guild's headquarters to the royal capital, she came directly here.

Emily then began to wander through the royal capital, hoping to find useful clues.

However, Emily didn't find any clues about imprisoned Dragons, but she did learn a perplexing piece of information: among the Lionheart Kingdom's Legendary Experts, there was actually a Water Element Dragon.

That there was a Water Element Dragon here, and it had even become a high-ranking official of the kingdom, made the selling of dragon blood very complicated.

The reason it was complicated was that the Lionheart Merchant Guild sold too much dragon blood. A Legendary Dragon, under normal circumstances, could only release two thousand four hundred cubic meters of dragon blood per month.

If the Lionheart Merchant Guild only sold two thousand four hundred cubic meters of dragon blood per month, Emily might not have continued her investigation!

The Water Element Dragon was a high-ranking official of the kingdom; what's wrong with selling blood for money? You can't control what people do to earn money!

Besides, it's not like there haven't been Dragons who sold their blood before, though it's extremely rare!

But the Lionheart Merchant Guild sold twelve thousand six hundred cubic meters of dragon blood per month, which was roughly the normal blood production of five Dragons in a month.

Yet the Lionheart Kingdom ostensibly only had one Dragon. Where did he get so much dragon blood to sell? It couldn't be that he saved it up from before and was only selling it now!

Another possibility was that there was more than one Dragon in the Lionheart Kingdom!

It's important to know that the number of Dragons is extremely rare; there are barely over a hundred Dragons residing on Dragon Island.

And this remote Lionheart Kingdom might actually have several Dragons, which would be a huge discovery for the Dragon Clan!

So Emily ultimately decided that she still needed to figure out the reason behind it!

Silver Dragon Emily was also a Legendary Expert, her strength even reaching the Legendary Peak; otherwise, she wouldn't dare to wander the continent.

With such strength and her unique spatial attribute, she could even escape in front of a Demigod.

Possessing such power, Emily, after feeling that she couldn't find any more useful information, went directly to the most central building in the royal capital, the Royal Palace.

Because only there could Emily's doubts be directly resolved!

Considering that entering the Royal Palace in human form would certainly not be easy, to avoid trouble, Emily directly transformed into her true form after flying into the sky.

A Silver Dragon nearly fifty meters tall; if its tail was included, it would be almost seventy meters.

Such a behemoth suddenly appearing in the royal capital caused a wave of panic!

Due to the Northern Expedition, there were no powerful experts in the current royal capital. The only visible Legendary Expert remaining was Melita the Mermaid.

Upon sensing another Legendary aura suddenly appearing in the royal capital, Melita immediately flew out of the Royal Palace.
