Chapter 102: Chapter 89 The girl_2
"Don’t act recklessly; Blood Coagulation’s power is vast and even you can’t handle it on your own,"
said the Dean in a low voice.
"Yes, I know, which is why I need to find a helper,"
Yavenny replied with a light laugh.
"A helper? Wait, you’re not thinking of recruiting that young girl, right?"
The Dean was struck with great alarm.
"Of course!"
"Heavens, are you planning to completely wipe out Blood Coagulation from the entire White Dragon Empire? Let me tell you, you should never let that young girl know! If she shows up, it means the White Dragon Empire would formally wage war against Blood Coagulation. They’ve been operating within the empire for years, thoroughly infiltrating every aspect. If you drive them away, they could hand over all their information to the enemy empire and everything would spiral out of control!"
The Dean roared back at Yavenny as quickly as possible.
"I know, but what’s it to me whether humans live or die? Even if humanity were destroyed, what’s that got to do with me? I’m not my sister..."
Yavenny still responded with a small smile.
"Yavenny! Remember your oath! Remember the pact you once made! Don’t push me!"
The Dean finally lost his temper.
But Yavenny just kept smiling and looked into the Dean’s eyes. After a while, she responded, "As a dragon, I’m surprised at how much you really do care for humans."
The Dean was taken aback and shook his head. A nostalgic look crossed his face, but he quickly grew serious. "Because they matter to her. So while I live, I must protect all this for her."
Yavenny nodded, turned around and walked away, calling back, "I understand. I’ll be careful."
Watching Yavenny leave, the Dean sighed softly feeling rather helpless. He then glanced at the people around him who were all in a daze with their eyes unfocused, clearly hypnotized.
"Hmm!" A rush of Dragon Might erupted from the Dean and woke everyone up. "Let’s continue to see what other details we can uncover."
The Dean’s gaze drifted over the corpses on the ground and besides the Crown Prince, there was another possibility in his mind.
The Black Dragon Empire.
The previous spy incident hadn’t been resolved yet, with a decision from the Emperor still pending, and now there was another assassination. The Dean didn’t actually think this murder was the doing of the Black Dragon Empire, because an assassination wouldn’t do them any good. If they were found out, it would just cause the Black Dragon Empire numerous problems, potentially even starting a new war.
However if that Black Dragon Mage was still alive, then there was a strong chance this was his revenge.
Anyway, the current situation was enough to give anyone a headache.

At the topmost of the White Dragon Peak majestically stands an incomparably colossal tower, the pride of the White Dragon Empire, the Guardian White Dragon Tower. This is where the Guardian Dragon Knights and their White Dragons reside.
In the White Dragon Empire, there are countless White Dragon Knights, yet only fifteen of these knights can truly stay within the White Dragon Tower. These people are the talented backbones of the Empire, representing the utmost force. However, there are only four who are given the title of Guardian Dragon Knights. These four possess the peak power among the Dragon Knights. Becoming a Guardian Dragon Knight is simple, one merely needs to ascend to the top four among all White Dragon Knights.
Years ago, young Elsa, with her White Dragon, Little White, came to the Guardian Dragon Knight Tower and in the face of a curious crowd, she took down five people in a single breath, securing her place among the Dragon Knights. Ever since that day, Elsa has continuously advanced with an almost unstoppable pace. Promotions and challenges have become her life in recent years. She barely interacts with others and rarely smiles. Of course, her expressions aren’t icy by choice, but rather indifferent.
Every Dragon Knight who has faced Elsa in battle is astounded. The girl, despite her young age, employs a very peculiar battle style, unlike anything taught at the Academy. It seemed more like that of a veteran from the battlefield. This wasn’t apparent in a ground battle, but once on the dragon’s back, Elsa’s level of difficulty would soar exponentially!
In particular, Elsa would often command Little White to execute moves that no one had seen before, which would leave her rivals defeated in spectacular fashion.
Everybody was curious about the origin of Elsa’s skills. However, every time someone asked, Elsa stayed silent. Whether through deep conversation, emotional persuasion, logical reasoning, or even resorting to threats and bribes, the young lady responded in the same way - by not responding at all.
But these movements were genuinely ingenious. The clueless Group Leader had no choice but to round up all the Dragon Knights of the Guardian Dragon Knight Tower and take turns in challenging Elsa, hoping to learn these skills during battle. Initially, it bore some fruit. But as the challenges continued, Elsa’s power and the rate of its improvement rocketed up, making it even harder for challengers to force out those special abilities from her.
And now, Elsa has become the strongest Dragon Knight underneath Group Leader. No one can match her anymore unless they act in packs. Otherwise, Elsa would barely even have to dodge their attacks.
At present, the Group Leader of the White Dragon Knights, Visario, the strongest among the Four Guardians, was reviewing tactics and movement data he had gathered from Elsa in recent times. As much as it went against his gut to admit it, Elsa’s aerial maneuvers were unheard of. If they could be disseminated and trained on a large scale within the Empire, the combat skills of the Dragon Knights could definitely level up by several notches.
However, the information Group Leader Visario had collected was only in pieces. As to when to use these strategies and what the skills behind them were, Elsa refuses to clarify. She doesn’t prevent others from learning, but she absolutely refuses to teach.
That girl is really hard to handle.
Visario can only shake his head in bitterness. Especially recently, Elsa has been increasingly reluctant to fight and practice, hinting that she has risen in rank too high for it to be objectionable. This almost infuriated Visario. People are usually scared of being too weak and strive to practice, but this girl is complaining about advancing too quickly!?
At this moment, Elsa found herself sitting atop the giant tower, daydreaming in the direction of Academy City. On her shoulder, Little White was currently taking a nap with its eyes shut.
"Brother Long won’t lose himself, right? That Ai Lin is beautiful with a good figure, ah... I’m really worried... I really want to go see... If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come here. How fun it would’ve been to go to school with Brother Long... But Ai Lin isn’t bad either, and I could reluctantly accept her... No, no, no! Brother Long is such a jerk! Taking advantage of my absence to find another girl! And such a pretty one at that! But luckily, her figure is not as good as mine..."
While daydreaming, a pure white light suddenly ascended from Elsa and formed a silhouette of a white dragon in the sky.
Elsa looked up at the light a bit helplessly.
"Ah... Another promotion, even if I’m just sitting here doing nothing, I still get promoted. What am I going to do? Brother Long, can you catch up with me? No, no, no! There’s no way Brother Long can’t catch up with me! I’m such a fool! A fool!"
As Elsa was lost in her thoughts, a peculiar mental impact suddenly approached from the distance. Elsa instantly counterattacked with a stronger mental impact. As result, a few words suddenly formed in the air where both mental impacts collided.
"Long Yi is under assassination; the assassin is from Blood Coagulation."
What?
Elsa merely glimpsed at it and she was already soaring high up in the air, not bothering to pursue the person who sent the mental impact. Instead, she directed herself towards Academy City. Next instant, white light shimmered and the enormous White Dragon revealed its true form. Elsa descended onto the dragon’s seat and together, they flew at full speed towards Academy City.
