Chapter 1094: Chapter 774: Establishing North City (2)
Barn’s voice was filled with awe and doubt, "What do you think is hidden inside this ’Light Torch’? Such a grand scheme, it can’t just be for lighting an eternal campfire, right?"
Toby also cast his gaze upon the awe-inspiring torch, especially at the striking black-and-white figure atop it.
"Who knows?"
He scratched his head, lowered his voice with reverence, "Maybe some kind of... signal tower? To signal to those outside that we’re here? Or... a massive energy source? Providing power to the whole city, perhaps even to those two up there?" He nodded towards the top of the torch.
Lila finally stopped her work, looked up, and gazed at the creature coiled upon the torch’s broadest crown.
Her eyes sparkled with pure admiration: "Whatever its specific purpose... it’s a symbol, isn’t it? Like the one coiled atop... oh my god."
She sighed softly, "Every time I see her, it feels... unbelievable. Those black and white scales, with their shimmering sheen... it’s like she wears the entire starry night’s mystery upon her. The word ’beautiful’ feels almost insubstantial for such a powerful being."
The black-and-white dragon, like solidified yin-yang ink, reclined lazily with a slender and powerful dragon body, enormous black wings half-folded, covering the torch’s arc, its long neck elegantly curved, dragon head rested on forelimbs.
Just her presence, the fusion of life and death, dignity and serenity in her stance, is enough to become the totem of the city’s soul.
The once Undead Dragon, now the Black and White Dragon, her form has ascended another level due to the accumulation and comprehension of power.
The beauty she possessed as a Star Realm Giant Dragon has once again returned to her body, even exceeding it.
The aura and elegance upon her can be sensed even by non-dragon creatures.
Barn nodded in agreement, his gaze still fixed on the breath-taking giant dragon.
"Indeed, the embodiment of life and death... just imagining her wings unfurling, sweeping over the Whispering Forest, makes one’s heart surge. When the other soars in the sky, that power and elegance... truly embodies the meaning of ’Lord of the Sky’."
His tone filled with pride, "To think we are building all this under the leadership of such beings, it in itself is an honor."
They are all new recruits of the Night Watchers, each formerly having their own profession.
The two legendary dragons guiding them in building the city makes them feel greatly honored.
These are beings they once didn’t even dare to imagine, but now they are leading them, and are exceptionally amiable towards them.
They are even one of them.
All part of the Night Watchers.
Toby grinned, easily hoisting another heavy slab of stone, "Whether it’s an honor or not, I just know, with those two watching us, and these handy tools."
He kicked a nearby awaiting alchemy spider, making a metallic clink, "Plus this seemingly endless strength, this city... and these big guys."
He nodded towards the torch, "Will soon be truly ’ignited’! Back to work, back to work, the next train is arriving soon, lots of places need to be ready for people to live!"
The trains, creations beyond imagination.
Allegedly inspired by the Leader, and to be honest, much here was inspired by the Leader.
Many are even designed personally by the Leader, although whether that’s true they don’t know, only occasionally seeing those people’s chats on the channel.
For these new recruits of the Night Watchers, the channel is undoubtedly their favorite.
Chatting with all the Night Watchers inside, not even knowing who might be speaking? Maybe it’s a legendary strong person.
Or maybe it’s the Leader themselves.
But the world channel is too crowded, people constantly speaking at all times.
The regional channel is more suitable for casual chat.
As if to confirm his words, from far away along the huge cold base of the Tower of Trial, came the long whistle sound with extreme penetration power.
Shining metal rails coiled around the tower like a giant serpent; rows of alchemy trains driven by massive gears, their fronts embedded with blazing lava cores, spouting thick smoke mixed with steam and arcane energy, whizzed along the tracks.
Their heavy carriages were packed with dust-covered, weary yet hopeful faces of people.
Another batch of new recruits for the Night Watchers.
Transported by this iron giant beast from the distant darkness, continuously delivered to this emerging hope city at the feet of the Night Watchers’ power, alchemical miracles, and dragon wisdom.
Kana floated quietly in the air, observing.
His presence went unnoticed even by the two dragons.
Until he fully revealed his form.
The Sky Dragon and the Undead Dragon simultaneously raised their heads to look at him.
Perhaps now she shouldn’t be called the Undead Dragon anymore, but rather the Soul or Life-and-Death Giant Dragon.
Under the watchful eyes of countless newly born Night Watchers.
The two dragons spread their wings, flying into the sky.
They hovered beside Kana.
"I thought you were too busy to come here for a look?" Lisval said with a smile.
Kana looked at Lisval, scrutinizing her.
Undeniably, ’beautiful’ can be used to describe her, especially now with the intertwining black and white on her body.
