180: Chapter 180 The Silver Dragon's Visit

Upon discovering that the visitor was a Silver Dragon of the Legendary Realm, Melita knew she was no match!

If she were an enemy, Arthur would need to summon help again. Relying only on Melita and the other Water Element Dragon hidden in the Royal Capital would definitely not be enough.

After all, Silver Dragons are also powerful among the Dragon Clan. Relying on their unique Spatial Attribute, they can even fight two opponents at the same Rank.

But Arthur had just left a short while ago. Thinking of this, Melita knew she had to rely entirely on herself!

Knowing she was no match, Melita did not assume a fighting posture. Instead, she flew directly in front of the Silver Dragon Emily.

Melita's height of 1.8 meters was originally considered tall and slender, but in front of the dozens-of-meters-long Dragon, she was like an ant, forming a huge contrast.

Nevertheless, Melita was a Legendary Expert. With her appearance, the commotion in the Royal Capital gradually subsided.

"I am Melita, the Guardian of the Lionheart Kingdom. May I ask why Your Excellency, a powerful member of the Dragon Clan, has suddenly arrived?"

Considering that the Lionheart Kingdom had a Legendary Dragon, it was unlikely to be an enemy of the Dragon Clan. Therefore, after achieving her purpose, Emily immediately transformed back into human form.

This was to show that she held no hostility.

"My name is Emily. While traveling the Continent, I accidentally heard that one of our Dragon Clan, a Water Element Dragon, had become the Guardian of a human kingdom, so I came to pay a visit. I wonder if Your Excellency welcomes me!"

Considering the many watchful eyes and ears here, Emily did not directly state her purpose.

Although Emily didn't say it, Melita could vaguely guess her purpose, knowing that the sky above the Royal Capital was not the place for discussions.

She couldn't help but smile:

"Of course, you are welcome. Please accompany Your Excellency Emily to the Royal Palace. The environment there is better!"

"Very well!"

Just like that, the two walked side-by-side toward the Royal Palace.

The other people in the Royal Capital saw that the two had not clashed, knew that the visitor was not an enemy, and all relaxed and returned to calm.

The two did not converse on the way. It wasn't until they entered the Reception Hall and were seated that Melita finally spoke:

"Your Excellency Emily, our Lionheart Kingdom has recently been engaged in a war to unify the Doreen Peninsula. Therefore, Joao is currently not in the Royal Palace but has gone to the Front Lines.

However, the war has already ended. I believe Joao will return tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow at the latest.

If you are not in a hurry, you can rest for a while in the Royal Palace and wait for him!"

After saying this, Melita paused slightly, and as if remembering something, added:

"Oh, right, Joao is the Water Element Dragon you are looking for."

Compared to humans, Emily would naturally trust Joao, who is a Dragon. Therefore, she preferred to seek answers from Joao regarding her questions about dragon blood.

This was beyond doubt.

However, Emily didn't mind discussing some other issues with Melita.

Emily first showed a look of regret:

"Is that so! What bad timing. Then I shall wait!

Since I have nothing else to do, I do have a few questions I'd like to ask you, Melita. I wonder if it's convenient?"

Hearing this, Melita couldn't help but look at Emily, whose scrutinizing Silver Eyes met hers.

She sighed inwardly, lamenting that the Silver Dragon was truly worthy of being the Dragon Clan responsible for Inspection; she was certainly not easy to fool.

She had originally planned to stall for time, but now she could only Improvise.

"Of course, it's convenient. As Joao's kin, you are a friend of my Lionheart Kingdom. Feel free to ask any questions; I will answer anything I know."

"Then thank you very much!

This question might be a bit presumptuous, but I still wish to ask it!

Speaking of which, the lineup of the Lionheart Kingdom's Guardians is very strange. For example, you are from the Merfolk Clan, Joao is a Dragon, and the last one, Elwin, is human.

To be honest, your combination is the first I've seen in my three thousand years of life, so I am very curious why you gathered together."

Many people would be curious about this question, especially as the Lionheart Kingdom became more famous; people would definitely come to investigate.

Melita and others, having prepared for a rainy day, had already made corresponding preparations. Melita replied with a smile:

"There is nothing that cannot be said. It was about a hundred years ago. The three of us met while exploring a Sea Ruins related to the divine.

You and I both know that the Gods disappeared fifteen thousand years ago. Since then, no one on the Continent of Gods has been able to Break through and become a god, achieving Eternal Life.

Fifteen thousand years—what a long period of time! Even many high and mighty Demigods have died of old age!

And who doesn't long for Eternal Life!

I was no exception at the time. After discovering that the ruins were related to the divine, I immediately went there.

Unfortunately, I underestimated the dangers within the ruins. Although the gods were long gone, the ruins they left behind were not simple.

The various Magic Traps and Puppets within were endless and killed many people!

Elwin, Joao, and I met at that time. To cope with the threats in the ruins, the three of us formed a team.

The experiences in the ruins forged deep feelings among the three of us, as we had gone through life and death together.

Therefore, even after leaving the ruins, we maintained contact, and eventually, we established the Lionheart Kingdom together."

Melita's answer was conventional, yet impeccable!

Only Life-and-Death Crises could bring together people of three different races.

Seeing this, Emily couldn't say much more. She couldn't very well Press the Issue and ask where the exact location of the ruins was or what they encountered inside, could she?

Their relationship wasn't at that level!

She could only exclaim with a smile:

"So that's how it is. It's no wonder, considering the experiences the three of you shared!"

Just like this, the two continued their conversation, with Emily constantly probing and Melita constantly deflecting.

During this time, Arthur also returned to the Royal Capital. Or rather, after Emily appeared, Arthur's magic communicator was almost blown up. Knowing the situation, he immediately rushed back.

However, because he had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Mid-stage Legend Realm and couldn't perfectly Contain his Qi and hide his Realm, he did not show up immediately!

Being a Sky Knight before the age of twenty could still be explained by soaking in dragon blood, but Arthur had now Broken through to Mid-stage Legend. This was too shocking; it was better not to let the news spread.

He would wait until tomorrow when he could completely hide his strength... The next morning, Joao, Elwin, Victor, and others all returned to the Royal Capital!

The returning personnel also included the experts from the Navy and the Army, who were mostly Sky Knights. There was only one exception: Endri from the Navy, as he was the nominal Supreme Commander of the Navy despite only having the strength of an Earth Knight.
