Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 124 King Tyron's Bet
The Taotie King!
The dragon pattern on the back of Luke's right hand flew up, circled around, and then returned to the back of his hand.
"The Taotie King is an identity I fabricated in order to deceive the fallen angels in the western part of the empire. Perhaps most of the Dragon Kings don't know who the Taotie King is, but you know that neither Taotie nor I are Dragon Kings of the Dragon Kingdom.
I have no responsibilities or obligations to Longguo, nor will I be held hostage by an identity."
The golden dragon King Tyran looked at the human in front of him, not knowing who he was talking to.
He said to Luke: "All the dragons in the Dragon Kingdom know that it was King Taotie who made us return to the Emerald Forest after a thousand years. The mountains, rivers and forests there are still the same as we remember.
King Taotie is the Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom. He is recognized not only by the giant dragons but also by the whole world.
Meteor Prime Minister, don’t you want the Golden Shield Empire and Dragon Country to get closer? "
Luke smiled and asked, "One step closer? To what?"
King Tyron looked up at the sky and said, "This peace is becoming more and more precious. I have a feeling that what is happening in Sky City will be the first chapter of a full-scale war. Who are the enemies of the Dragon Kingdom? Who are the friends? The Dragon Kings have not yet reached a conclusion."
Luke asked curiously, "I'm also confused. Since the dragon kings all know that the war is coming, why haven't they elected a king for the Dragon Kingdom yet?"
"Because..." King Tyran looked down at Luke : "A considerable number of Dragon Kings believe that... humans should be regarded as enemies."
"It fits my prediction about Dragon Country."
King Tyron saw how relaxed Luke was and said helplessly, "I brought the success of human civilization to the Dragon Kingdom. The dragons were amazed at your achievements and felt a deep sense of crisis.
Some Dragon Kings believe that weak humans are trying to challenge the status of advanced creatures and impact the world order created by ancient civilizations. Especially after the Golden Man visited the Dragon Kingdom, many Dragon Kings have become highly alert to human civilization.
Luke asked: " When ?"
"It happened after the Empress of the Empire ascended the throne. The one who visited the Dragon Kingdom was Elder Mu of the Shining Gold Clan. I wanted to tell you about this at the time, but I didn't know where you were, and neither did your subordinates."
During that period of time, I should have been in hell.
Luke asked King Tyranid, "What is your attitude?"
King Tairen thought for a while and said, "I will listen to King Taotie."
This is naked moral kidnapping!
Luke smiled helplessly: "You want me to take on the responsibility of the Taotie King? You want me to go to the Dragon Kingdom?"
King Tailun also smiled: "My prestige in Dragon Country is not enough to convince all Dragon Kings. But King Taotie is different. His contribution to Dragon Country and the inheritance he has obtained will make all Dragon Kings listen.
He will certainly make the Dragon King realize clearly that the decline of the old civilization has its irresistible reasons, and the rise of the new civilization has its unstoppable reasons. Old ideas and indifferent arrogance are not the factors that determine the outcome of a war. Bowing your head now is to be able to hold it up high in the future.
What will happen if you follow the Golden Man? Just look at the crazy angels and you will know."
After hearing what King Tyron said, Luke couldn't help but laugh: "Your thinking is so clear and your eloquence is so good, it's enough to convince the Dragon Kings, there's no need for me to go to Dragon Country.
I’m very busy!”
"The Dragon Kingdom is about to start the King Trial. I hope King Taotie can participate. Many Dragon Kings hope that King Taotie can participate."
Luke has some knowledge of the King's Trial in Dragon Kingdom.
If there is no Dragon King in the Dragon Kingdom who can be recognized by other Dragon Kings to become the common leader of the dragons, then the Dragon King Trial will be initiated and the throne of the king will be competed for based on strength.
Faced with this global crisis, the Dragon Kingdom has yet to elect a king. This is not a good thing for the dragons, so it is reasonable for the King's Trial to be held.
only……
Luke asked King Tyron: "Why do you let me take part in the King's Trial? I am a human being, and Taotie is far from meeting the requirements to become a king."
"As long as my dragons and I don't talk nonsense, no dragon will know that you are a human. You are the Taotie King, an ancient dragon with a human body, who inherited the legacy of the previous Dragon King.
As for why I support you?
I can’t give myself an answer either…” The Golden Dragon King Tyran closed his eyes, as if listening to the voice of his heart: “It’s probably the intuition of an ancient dragon.”
Luke said with amusement: "Putting the fate of the dragon race on the intuition of ancient dragons? King Tyran, you are gambling!"
"Is the unforeseen future a gamble?" King Tyron opened his eyes, his golden pupils emitting golden light: "I bet that the new era belongs to human civilization!"
The atmosphere has become so tense that if we don't agree, it would be a shame for the heavy bet King Terran has placed.
"Okay, I will go to Dragon Country as the Taotie King." Luke stretched out his hand, with dragon claws attached to his arm: "I will use all my strength to compete for the throne of Dragon Country, and I will also use all my strength to protect Dragon Country through this world crisis."
King Tyron stretched out his dragon claws and high-fived Luke: "I will assist you as loyally as I did a thousand years ago. The traces of dragons will surely spread across the land, sea and sky again!"
Luke laughed: "You are asking too much!"
"It's just a small wish." King Tyron bowed his head and saluted Luke: "Can we talk about the artifact now?"
Luke was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that King Tyrone, the cunning old dragon, would set a trap for him in this place.
Since I am going to participate in the King's Trial of the Dragon Kingdom, I can share some secrets with King Terran.
"The lost artifact is not in Saint Lun City."
King Tyron asked, "But you said the angels came to Saint Lun City to look for the artifact."
Luke replied: "That's because when Miss Clear Sky used the Book of Disaster, the power of the artifact leaked out from the abyss. This power was detected by Sky City, so Theresa led the Holy Judgement Angels to descend on Saint Lun City."
"Abyss, abyss... How could the artifact be in the abyss? The abyss must have stolen the artifact!"
"I haven't found the exact answer to why the artifact is in the abyss, but the abyss is obviously not something that can be entered and explored casually."
King Tyron said solemnly: "Since the artifact is in the abyss, we have to enter the abyss to explore. No matter how dangerous it is, it is worth it for the artifact.
After you inherit the throne of the Dragon Kingdom, I will go into the abyss to look for the artifact, and I need Miss Qingkong's help to open the door to the abyss."
Luke persuaded, "The five great artifacts are in the abyss, which is fair to the five ancient civilizations. I don't think it's urgent to find the artifacts. Even if we have to enter the abyss, it shouldn't be you who goes."
"No, no, no..." King Tyron's mind was in a mess after hearing the news about the artifact, so he couldn't listen to what Luke said. "You can't understand the significance of the artifact to us. The loss of the artifact is equivalent to the loss of the souls of the five ancient civilizations.
I have to prepare to enter the abyss. Goodbye... King Taotie!"
The golden dragon King Tyran flew away in a trance, causing petals to flutter in the garden.
Luke looked at King Tyran who was leaving and couldn't help but sigh: "I shouldn't have told you if I had known!"
