Chapter 1910: Chapter 1910: Magic Apostle (31)
The Giant Dragon wasn’t too willing to let Chuzheng ride it, after all, she had tied it up before.
It was no longer what it used to be, having undone the seal. Though its power hasn’t completely recovered, it surely wouldn’t let itself be rubbed against like before.
However, whether it wanted to or not, the young master smiled and patted it, leaving Dila no choice but to grudgingly let Chuzheng on.
Despicable!!
Suo Wei, this hypocritical Human, somehow learned its name and found documents identifying it as Magic Dragon Dila. Without hesitation, he forced a covenant with it.
At that time, it hadn’t undone its seal, and was no match for him.
Despicable!
Shameless!
"What happened here?" Chuzheng sat on the Giant Dragon, looking down at the ruins comparable to a city underneath.
Just now, after these ruins appeared, people inside came out screaming miserably.
But they hadn’t run far before they started falling into fissures one after another.
If Chuzheng hadn’t run fast, she and the young master would likely have fallen in too, sharing in the misfortune.
The young man yawned, materializing a book thick enough to be a brick: "Here."
The cover featured a Magic Array, indistinguishable from a regular one. Other than that, there was nothing else.
The pages were yellowed, and the text peculiar. Using the original owner’s memories, Chuzheng could barely comprehend a bit.
This writing was from ancient times, the original owner hadn’t learned this ancient language.
"..."
"Ah, I forgot, you probably can’t understand." The young man suddenly remembered, leaning in to speak softly: "Let me tell you then."
Without waiting for Chuzheng to respond, he started narrating on his own accord.
A long, long time ago, there was an extraordinarily powerful Saint Archmage. It was said that among all of Magic’s history, he was the most gifted and formidable.
He once single-handedly saved a city full of people, wielding the ability to move mountains and fill seas, knowing every kind of Magic, never defeated.
Moreover, he created many of his own Magic spells.
Anyone who could create new Magic was without exception renowned and immortal in history.
In short, this Saint Archmage was quite an impressive figure.
"So impressive, why isn’t he in the history books?" Chuzheng, having flipped through the original owner’s history book out of boredom, didn’t find any match for this great person.
"Of course not, because he made a mistake." The young man turned to a page with an illustration.
It was a scene of a battle between a man and a dragon, the background was horrifying, reminiscent of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Dila..." The young man pointed at the dragon: "It came from the Abyss of the East West Continent, after doing some not-so-good deeds, it was hunted down."
Dila probably heard it, and let out a low roar.
"Don’t howl, they’ll hear you." The young man drawled on, his tone showed no worry about being overheard.
Suo Wei continued the story.
Dila wreaked havoc across the Western Continent, soon earning the title ’Magic Dragon’.
Humans banded together with many to annihilate Dila, but ultimately failed, only angering Dila further, causing more reckless mayhem.
It was then that the Saint Archmage entered the scene.
He fought Dila alone and eventually successfully sealed Dila.
He should have been a hero to the Humans, yet shortly after this, someone discovered the darker side of the Saint Archmage.
Unbeknownst to them, he had been practicing some dark Magic, resulting in many deaths during that time.
When people realized he was responsible, the Saint Archmage had already changed.
The dragon-slaying hero followed in the dragon’s footsteps.
At that time, humans surrounded him, but didn’t witness his death firsthand. However, after he fled, he was never seen again nor did any more misdeeds occur.
Shortly afterward, someone found his Magic Wand.
Even losing the Magic Wand meant he had to be dead.
His name wouldn’t appear in history books because he didn’t deserve to be a hero.
-
After the Saint Archmage fled, he didn’t die but used his final strength to construct such a place.
"Once, this was a city." Suo Wei casually remarked: "It was transformed to this, becoming his burial ground."
"A city vanished, and no one noticed?" It’s a city, not a village. Based on its scale, how could it not be well-known in its time?
"The disappearance of the city coincided with Dila’s sealing."
The power of Dila and the Saint Archmage was immense; people merely assumed the city disappeared amid their powers.
So the truth was, from the time Dila was sealed, the Saint Archmage had been plotting.
Chuzheng contemplated for a moment, her gaze returning to Suo Wei.
"And what about you? What’s your connection to this?" Chuzheng wasn’t too interested in these matters; he was more concerned about the Good Person Card.
Suo Wei touched his face, blinking: "No relation to me."
"Really?" How is it that I don’t believe you?
"Really..." Suo Wei met Chuzheng’s icy stare, paused inexplicably, then hurriedly completed: "Yes!"
Then he even smiled at Chuzheng.
Chuzheng said nothing, looking down below.
The young man’s smile slowly restrained, turning his head aside, his face briefly pale but soon returned to normal.
Not much time left.
If he doesn’t hurry up...
Without knowing what he was thinking, the young man started to slowly smile again, supporting his palm on the Giant Dragon’s wide back, moved closer to Chuzheng.
Chuzheng gazed below, sensing the young man’s approach, instinctively reaching out to embrace him.
Just as Chuzheng intended to turn back, her body suddenly lost balance, falling onto the broad back of the Giant Dragon as a breeze with a slight chill brushed past her cheek, tickling.
Carrying the unique scent of the young man.
Dila wished nothing more than to shake off the shameless, despicable little humans on its back, yet the power of the covenant restrained it from doing so.
-
Deep within the ruins.
The Magic Array illuminated one by one, the radiance darting skyward.
People rushed from afar, seeing the dragon circling the sky, and also the radiant Magic Array operating.
Dila merely hovered in the sky, making no signs of aggression, so the people rushed first to the area of the Magic Array’s light.
Within the Magic Array, those who had vanished were now inside.
Every Magic Array squeezed some people inside; some desperately clutched their heads, weeping in despair, while others attempted to break out of the Magic Array.
"Someone...someone’s coming!!"
"Help!!"
"Father!! Save me!!"
"Someone’s here, we’re saved! We’re saved, we won’t die in this inexplicable place, hurry and get us out."
People inside the Magic Array saw others arriving, hope rekindled instantly.
There were those rushing over who, upon seeing their own children, were desperate to save them, but companions beside them stopped them.
"Don’t go!"
"Wait, let’s see what’s happening first!"
"My daughter is inside."
"Stay calm!!"
They stopped at a safe distance, shouting across.
These Magic Arrays looked peculiar, their operation was different from normal Magic Arrays.
