The Return of The Lord God
When s419m heard Bai Lixinâs order, he immediately presented Bai Lixinâs mind with the image of Christian and that group of people meeting secretly.
In the dark cellar, Christian was questioning the man at the head of the party about some matters in detail. On the one hand, this was to examine the truthfulness of their words, and on the other hand, he was secretly contemplating how to enter and sneak into the Dragon territory silently.
In Alexander Iâs manuscript, he described his entry into the dragons. Alexander I had travelled around and, by chance, had rescued a small golden dragon, which had guided him into the dragon territory.
Alexander later wrote that this little golden dragon was in fact a prince of the dragons, who had been struck by a thunderbolt from the sky as he was playing, and had fallen to the ground.
As he had saved the dragon kingâs child, he became a benefactor of the dragons, and at that time, he was treated with great hospitality by the dragon king and spent some time in the dragon territory.
At this time, Alexander I had not yet received the divine revelation, which he received only after he had left the Dragonsâ lair and was away from them.
As to how he entered the Dragon territory the second time, Alexander I did not elaborate, but simply said that âthe Dragons opened the boundary from the other side.â
Christian laughed bitterly. He had spent two hundred years searching for the entrance to the dragons, and now that he had found it, he didnât know how to get in.
Would he have to spend another two hundred years searching for a way to enter the dragonâs lair?
He was depressed when an arrogant figure suddenly flashed through his mind.
Ha, he was so stupid. A dragon naturally knew how to enter the dragonâs territory.
Wasnât a ready-made Dragon member just a stoneâs throw away? Thinking of the silver-haired youth who had taunted him in the tournament arena yesterday, Christian darkly keyed his cane and said to the few people, âSince there is nothing else, you guys take these and leave first.â
He pointed to the treasures on the ground, and the men were surprised to see gold all over the floor. They looked at each other for a moment, then hurriedly wrapped the gold vessels into their clothes and left the castle through the tunnel.
Seeing that Christian had finished his conversation, Bai Lixin withdrew his thoughts.
He put on a pale blue robe, walked out of his bedchamber, and had his guards summon General Kapler to the castle at once.
General Kapler was on patrol in the castle at the moment, and when he heard Anselâs summons, he rushed to the emperorâs study without saying a word.
As soon as he saw Kapler, Bai Lixin said, âAfter you told me that you had found suspicious heretics in the imperial city, I have been thinking about it and I have been anxious about it. Why did they suddenly come to our Saron Empire? Could it be the work of the enemy country? Find any reason to search their homes, and report back to me as soon as you find anything. â
Originally, Kapler also felt that there was something wrong with those people, but as His Majesty had said to leave them alone for the time being, he himself only monitored these people and did not take any further action.
Now that His Majesty had suddenly changed his mind and wanted to search for these people, he naturally agreed with him a million times.
So as soon as Ansel finished speaking, Kapler said, âYes, my liege! Iâm on my way. â
Bai Lixin nodded and said, âSearch carefully, donât leave any stone untouched.â
Kapler bowed again, promising that he would complete his task before exiting the study.
As soon as he left the study, he marched to the drill ground of his own army, where he grabbed a squad of twenty men and hoofed them out of the palace.
Only when he saw Kapler leave did Bai Lixin rub his sore waist and say, [s419m, call up 10 realm points to repair this soreness.]
s419mâs voice immediately rang out: [Lord Host, 10 realm points are not enough for repair, you need another 20 realm points].
Bai Lixin:â⦠â
He rubbed his soft blonde hair and said helplessly, [Thatâll be 30 points in total.]
Fortunately, with the increase in mission level, he had accumulated a lot of dimensional points and would no longer be as strapped for spending points as he had been at the beginning.
But when he thought about the last two worlds, it seemed that the places where he had used the most of his realm points were to deal with his lover.
When he thought of this, even the battle-hardened Bai Lixin was a bit teary-eyed.
[As ordered, Lord Host! Deducting 30 points to repair the body.] Along with s419mâs voice, Bai Lixin felt a warm stream of water flowing through his entire body, and wherever it went, it left him relaxed and soothed.
After the warm stream flowed through the circumference once more, s419mâs voice rang out again: [Ding, the body has been completely repaired. Please use it with ease, Lord Host].
Bai Lixin couldnât help but say inwardly, [Donât you meanâ âPlease use it with ease, Lord God.â]
After repairing his body, he didnât stay in the study, but went to see Sophia. She had just reached a third of her potential, and today he wanted to see if she could reach the rest of it.
Hillman was still strolling through the gardens with the Princess, the two of them laughing and joking, and Sophia even took Hillmanâs hand when she was happy.
When Sofia took his hand, Hillmanâs blood was boiling and his cheeks were burning red. Although he and Sofia had shared their feelings, the day after their relationship was confirmed, the news came that Sofia had become the fiancée of King Alexander.
After this, Sophia began to distance herself from Hillman, and although they were often alone, Sophia was no longer as intimate as she used to be.
Today, in an uncharacteristic move, Sophia took his hand, which made his heart flutter.
But just as Hillman was about to go further with Sofia, a voice suddenly came to him, shattering his dream, âSofia, there you are, making me look for you.â
The voice was soft and clear, with the rich mellow splendor of a nobleman, but Hillman frowned at it.
Alexander, why was he everywhere?
As soon as Sophia heard Bai Lixinâs voice, she immediately shook off Hillmanâs hand and threw herself into his arms. âYour Majesty, are you well from last night?â
Bai Lixinâs expression froze, and his mask of tenderness nearly fell off.
He coughed and changed the subject straight away, âDo you still want to continue learning from me on how to stimulate your potential?â
When Sofia heard his words, she immediately jumped out of Bai Lixinâs arms, tugging on his sleeve and pouting, âYes, yes, letâs go, letâs go. Is it the same place as yesterday? â
As she spoke, Sofia had already dragged Bai Lixin a few steps forward, looking as if she was the host and Bai Lixin was the guest.
Bai Lixin was not annoyed and let Sofia tug him forward. After taking a few steps, Sofia suddenly looked back at Hillman and said, after a momentâs hesitation, âHillman, you should go back to your room and rest. I have something to do with His Majesty.â
Hillman stood on the spot, a fire in his eyes and a jealous rage rising in his heart. His fists clenched tightly and a few puffs of black smoke came out of his nose. But in the end, he could only nod helplessly and let the two walk away.
From a distance, Christian, who had taken it all in, smiled knowingly and instantly understood the relationship between the three.
And when he saw the black smoke coming out of Hillmanâs nose, he also confirmed his suspicion that this silver-haired youth was indeed a dragon.
Although dragons could disguise themselves as humans, certain habits of theirs still lingered in their bodies, such as spitting fire or dragon chanting.
Christian saw the youthâs jealousy, which he couldnât contain, and it struck a chord.
Hillman stood in the garden for a while longer before heading for the guest room.
He had not gone more than a few steps when a figure suddenly caught his eye.
There, not far from him, was the strangely beautiful man from yesterday, holding a dying bird with his head down. The manâs eyes were compassionate, and after a movement of his mouth, he blew a breath into the bird.
Miraculously, the bird, which was dying, came back to life with this breath. The rejuvenated bird spread its wings and flew around the man a few times before waving its wings and flying off into the distance.
The man watched the bird go with spring-like eyes before patting the dust from his body and slowly standing up and turning his head away.
Suddenly, he paused, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth: âHello again, silver-haired youth.â
Hillman was puzzled, looking at Christian, who was a very different person from yesterday. He had always been straightforward and asked, âWhat are you up to this time?â
Christian sighed and said, âLet me introduce myself. I am the High Priest of the Saron Empire-Christian. I wanted to look for you yesterday, but I never had the chance. â
Hillman frowned, âSo it is Your Highness, the High Priest. We have never met. What is it that you want to see me about? â
Christian shook his head, âNot about you, but about Her Highness Princess Sophia, whom you guard.â
As soon as he heard that the matter involved his beloved Sophia, Hillman immediately asked nervously, âAbout Sophia? What happened to Sophia?â
Christian showed a difficult expression, âAlthough I am the High Priest of the Saron Empire and should defend the interests of the Saron Empire, I cannot bear to see Princess Sophia, who is as simple as a blank sheet of paper, being deceived by King Alexander.â
âDeceived by King Alexander?â Hillmanâs voice grew more and more urgent, âHow did he deceive Sophia?â
âKing Alexander was a violent, brutal, and unforgiving man who would beat his retainers to death at the drop of a hat. He is now so attentive and gentle with Sophia, but he has other plans altogether. Because Sophia is the princess of the Sena Kingdom, and he is now in need of the Sena Kingdomâs help to invade the Dragon territory.â
Hillman clenched his fist and shook his head, âImpossible! The boundaries of the Dragon Territory are extremely secretive; he canât even find them. How can he attack the Dragons?!â
Christian raised his eyebrows and said, âIf you donât believe me, Iâll tell you. King Alexander has long since discovered the knotted boundary of the Dragon Territory, right in the Far West. â
As he said this slowly, his eyes carefully watched Hillmanâs expression, and as soon as Hillman heard the words âthe Far West,â his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked incredulous.
Seeing this expression, Christian said in her heart, âIt seems that it is indeed the dragon territory boundary.â
âHow did you think that the Black Dragon was released? At first, Alexander Iâs divine weapon was inserted inside the Black Dragon, sealing it. But just a short time ago, King Alexander appeared in the underground palace, pulled out that golden lance and bribed the Black Dragon to become his vanguard army for his attack on the Dragons. â Christian picked up where he left off, saying bitterly, âAlthough we humans have always been at odds with the dragons, there have been fewer disputes over the years despite the deliberate distancing of the two races.â
âBut now King Alexander is so ambitious that he has taken a fancy to the powerful magic of the dragons and is letting the Black Dragon lead the way. He will use that divine weapon to shoot the Dragon King through the heart, to take over the Dragons in one fell swoop! â
