Chapter 250: Chapter 55: Taming the Bone Dragon_3
Kary heads out, pausing at the door, and advises, "Alright, I’ll try my best to arrange it. Brother, you should get prepared too! You’re known as a strategist, you should understand that going into battle unprepared accomplishes nothing. We hope for peace, but when the wolves come, we need to strike them hard."
Aldos expresses his gratitude, "Thank you, elder brother Kary. Please take care, the Mage Guild relies heavily on your guidance."
Without responding further, Kary exits the secret room, leading his Magicians back into the Mage Guild. Shortly after their departure, Aldos dispatches a thousand-strong city defense Forbidden Guard to be stationed around the Guild, monitoring the passing pedestrians.
Over the next three days, the Province of Light’s army begins to mobilize on a large scale, amassing under the pretext of military training. Eight elite legions and a hundred-strong Mage Legion converge on the border between the Empire of Huasheng and the Empire of Sunset City. Thanks to the powerful national strength, logistical support quickly gathers at the front. Of the four great empires, the Empire of Huasheng is situated in the best location. Their southern side is the coastline, while the eastern side is flanked by the Death Mountain Range and the Tian Gang Mountain Range, separating them from the Federation. The Holy Church is to the north. Only the Empire of Sunset City to the west poses a threat. Although the Federation is the most powerful and expansive, its division among the six major races prevents it from posing a threat to any countries.
The next morning, Ah Dai finally awakens from his deep sleep. Ever since his Dantian manifested the Silver body, even without deliberate cultivation, his True Qi would slowly circulate. After a day of rest, the energies within his body finally stabilize, his abilities mostly recovered.
As Ah Dai regains consciousness, the pain engulfing his body makes him groan. Glancing around, he’s alone in this unfamiliar room. Ah Dai’s mood is decidedly heavy. He had assumed that after being taught by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, he could travel the continent without issues and seek revenge on the Assassin’s Guild. But alas, it only took a few ordinary assassins and a few mages to render him helpless. How could he seek vengeance for Uncle Owen? Although the transformative power of his technique is formidable, his abilities are insufficient for prolonged use. When can he reach the realm of usurping the laws of heaven and earth like his master? A sense of despair fills Ah Dai’s heart, his body feeling even more listless.
Just as Ah Dai is lost in thought, the door opens and Yan Shi and Yan Li enter. Yan Li says, "Elder brother, the Mage Guild’s food is really good, even the breakfast has so many varieties."
Yan Shi irritably replies, "All you know is eating, Ah Dai has been unconscious for a day, we don’t even know if he is getting better. We really are unlucky, we came to get our reward and ended up being pulled into the conflict between the Mage Guild and the Assassin’s Guild."
Ah Dai struggles to sit up, "Elder brother Yan Shi, you’re back. Are we in the Mage Guild?"
Seeing Ah Dai recovering, Yan Shi is overjoyed, and quickly moves to support Ah Dai’s body, "Brother, we’re in the Mage Guild, how are you feeling, are your injuries better? Why were you so reckless that day?"
Ah Dai gives a bitter smile, "I couldn’t stand by and watch those assassins hurt the people of the Mage Guild."
Yan Shi turns to Yan Li, "You stay here and take care of Ah Dai, I am going to inform Chairman Kary that he’s awake." He leaves the room after these words.
Yan Li takes Yan Shi’s place, allowing Ah Dai to lean on his shoulder, "Brother, you are really amazing! You managed to withstand so many assassins. In a word, you are strong."
Ah Dai sighs, "I am still too weak, otherwise I wouldn’t be in such a terrible shape. Who is this Kary that elder brother Yan Shi mentions?"
Yan Li says, "Kary is the boss here. I didn’t expect this place to be the Mage Guild’s headquarters. All the mages here are grateful for you! Without you, many of them would have died at the hands of the assassins. What happened with those two big guys that day? Their power was terrifying!"
At that moment, Ah Dai remembers that the Bone Dragon is still stored in the Dragon’s Blood. Despite the Bone Dragon’s formidable power, it is far from matching the immense power of the Serpent that dwelled in Tian Gang Mountain. If Ah Dai were at full strength, the solid state energy from his technique could probably defeat it. Inspired by this thought, he says, "The Bone Dragon was summoned by the Dark Magician accompanying the assassins, as for the other dragon, I think I summoned it. " He remembered Tian Gang Sword Saint’s warning not to casually disclose the matters relating to Sheng Xie.
Yan Li gasps in surprise, "Brother, your magic is really amazing! I’ve never heard of anyone who could summon a dragon. Earlier, when I said your magic was bad, I was wrong."
"Yes, summoning a dragon, not even I, as the chairman of the Mage Guild, have heard of it." The door opens, and Chairman Kary walks in with Yan Shi. He is still clad in his yellow magic robe, his face displaying a faint smile. He strides to the bedside, smiles and says, "Your name is Ah Dai, right? We really owe you this time, without you, the loss to our Mage Guild would’ve been colossal."
