Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 141 The King
Luke picked up the colorful magic heart and tossed it in his hands. The heavy feeling was very comfortable. The surging magic power contained in it also proved that this was indeed a top-grade magic prop.
After all, it was extracted from the artifact Rainbow Arch.
Even if it doesn't have a magic artifact and can't bring stronger magic amplification, it's still good as an ordinary amplification magic.
"King Taotie!" The voice of the Seven-Colored Demon Heart sounded in Luke's palm: "How do you know that the illusion I created is a scene of ancient war? You have never been in it, not even touched it."
Luke tossed it again. "You should learn more when you have the chance. It would be best if you could find a school to relearn magic theory. Although dragons still possess the most powerful magic, humans have surpassed dragons in magic theory, the microscopic field of magic, and the interaction with other disciplines."
"This is impossible!" When Qicai Moxin heard Luke say that humans' knowledge of magic surpassed that of dragons, he felt as if he had been poked in a sore spot and shouted loudly, "Dragons invented magic, and Dragon Language is the most perfect spellcasting language. How could humans surpass dragons in the field of magic!"
"No, dragons did not invent magic. They were just the first to know how to use it. Magical elements exist naturally, and the underlying logic of magic does not change because of the dragon's will. I used the magical knowledge that humans have to decipher the illusion you cast and found your location information from it."
"You're lying..." Although Qicai Moxin was still talking tough, his voice was very unconfident.
"Did I lie? When we return to Saint Lun City in the Golden Shield Empire, I can demonstrate it to you again. But in exchange, you must write down all the magic you know and give it to me."
"Okay, alright." The Seven-Colored Demon Heart's confidence was severely hit, and he didn't realize the unfairness of this deal at all.
"Now do I count as having won the third trial?"
Seven-Colored Demon Heart said with a sigh: "I guess so. After all, you have inherited his legacy and also... found me. From this moment on, you are my master. When you return to King's Peak and are recognized by all the Dragon Kings, you will be the King of Dragon Country."
Is this what it means to be the King of Dragon Kingdom?
Luke felt that the "Dragon King Trial" sounded grand, but in reality it was just like a child's play. The rules were full of loopholes, and the final trial actually had such a big bug.
On the way here, I was full of longing and awe for the King's Trial, and was ready to withdraw from any trial that was even slightly dangerous.
The result... is this?
Isn’t this the same as picking it up for free?
However, this was the first time that Dragon Country held the King Trial, so some mistakes and errors were understandable. During my tenure as the King of Dragon Country, I must plan the King Trial carefully, and never choose a king in such a frivolous way in the future.
How different is this from drawing lots?
So embarrassing!
Luke removed part of his dragon armor, stuffed the colorful magic heart into his pocket, then spread his dragon wings and flew into the air, leading his group of dragons to fly towards King's Peak.
When Luke returned to King's Peak, the other dragon kings who participated in the trial had already returned. When they were forced out of the illusion, they knew that a dragon king had completed the final trial, so they immediately returned to King's Peak to wait for the result.
Luke went to the northeast of Dragon Country to find the Seven-Colored Demon Heart, and then returned to King's Peak at the southern end of Dragon Country. The round trip was long, and he became the last Trial Dragon King to return.
The other Dragon Kings who returned did not take out the Seven-Colored Demon Heart. The result was about to come out.
When Luke landed in the King's Dragon's Nest, the golden dragon King Tyrone rushed up to him impatiently, and his huge dragon head almost hit Luke.
"Did you get it?"
Luke took out the colorful magic heart: "Is this the thing?"
The colorful magic heart flew up from Luke's hand, and it grew from the size of a human heart to the size of a dragon heart. The magic heart was full of colorful light, and the surging magic energy instantly enveloped the entire King's Dragon Nest with the light it emitted.
A voice came from the Seven-Colored Demon Heart: "The Taotie King was the first to find me. He is the final winner of this trial."
The expanding light shrank back into the colorful magic heart, and the magic power also shrank.
The colorful devil heart changed the size of a human heart and fell into Luke's palm.
As the host and judge of the King's Trial, the oldest ancient dragon, the Red Crystal Dragon King Saier, stood in the middle of the stage and said loudly: "All the dragon kings of the Dragon Kingdom are here as witnesses. In the three King's Trials jointly formulated by the ancient dragons, Taotie passed all the trials with a complete victory.
He demonstrated his wisdom, his martial arts skills, and gained the recognition of the Seven-Colored Demon Heart.
According to the agreement among all the dragon kings of Dragon Kingdom, from this moment on, King Taotie is the king of our Dragon Kingdom and the owner of King's Peak.
Hail our King!"
All the dragon kings present bowed their heads to Luke.
Then some of the ancient dragons left, and some of the dragon kings also left the King's Dragon Nest.
The scene was a little awkward...
The Golden Dragon King Tyron said to Luke: "Congratulations on becoming the King of the Dragon Kingdom, but as you can see, some dragons don't seem to be happy with you as their king."
Luke noted down the dragon kings who left. First, the ice dragons. Their leader, the silver ice dragon King Soto, did not appear in the third trial at all. The ice dragons acknowledged the new king, but would not easily recognize the new king.
Then there are the water dragons, rock dragons and other small tribes of giant dragons, they also have their own leaders who represent their tribes. If the leader loses, they will be unwilling to accept it, so they will definitely follow the leader.
Fire dragons are the most numerous dragons in the Dragon Kingdom, and their thoughts are more independent. Therefore, some fire dragons left, and some fire dragons stayed in the King's Dragon Nest.
The other ones left behind were the Crystal Dragons, whose bodies were made of crystal. Like the Crystal Man in deep sleep, they had extremely high resistance to magic. The leader of the Crystal Dragon tribe was the Red Crystal Dragon King Saier, who stayed in the King's Dragon Nest to represent the Crystal Dragon tribe in recognizing the new king.
The King's Dragon's Nest, which was originally a little crowded, became spacious after the Dragon King had left most of the way.
This is how the Dragon Kingdom is... When the king is recognized, everyone gives you face; when the king is not recognized, everyone gives you a hard time.
Luke, on the other hand, was very open-minded about this matter. He smiled and said to King Tyron, "Aren't there still so many Dragon Kings left? If you change the king, it may not be possible to keep so many Dragon Kings."
The Golden Dragon King Tyron couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, you are right! No matter who wins the trial and becomes the king, there will definitely be dragon kings who don't approve of him and leave. If another king were to win, he might not be able to gain the support of so many dragon kings.
Now please allow our king to give his coronation speech."
King Seir, the red crystal dragon standing in the middle of the dragon's nest, said to Luke, "Come here, King Taotie. As the oldest ancient dragon, I know that I must admit my choice. The King's Trial chose you, and you are the leader of the dragons of the Dragon Kingdom.
I believe that the dragon kings who remain have a dragon heart that is willing to make sacrifices and contributions for the Dragon Kingdom.
Let us listen together to the first dragon roar of the Dragon King after a thousand years."
Under the gaze of many dragon kings, Luke walked to the center of the dragon's nest.
The magic circle unfolds.
The voice of the new Dragon King spread out from the King's Lair and King's Peak, and was heard by the dragons that were flying away.
"I am King Taotie, the king of the Dragon Kingdom. Our world is in turmoil again, and the war that happened thousands of years ago may start again in the near future.
Most of the dragons were very confused about what to do in this situation. There seemed to be a thick fog in front of us, and we didn't know whether there was a passage or a cliff ahead.
Fate made its choice at this time and chose me to be the king of Dragon Kingdom.
This may not be the best choice for the dragon civilization, but it is the only choice now. You chose me, and I choose to bear the responsibility given to me by fate.
I believe that with your support, my decrees will be smoothly implemented in the Dragon Kingdom. Please also believe that under my governance, the Dragon Kingdom will quickly become stronger and be able to make all preparations before the crisis comes.
Now I appoint King Tyron as the King's Claw. When I am not in the Dragon Kingdom, King Tyron has the power to exercise the king's duties on my behalf.
King Sale was appointed as the Chief Justice of Dragon Kingdom, responsible for adjudicating all conflicts and disputes within the territory of Dragon Kingdom.
King Soto was appointed as the Frost Dragon King, responsible for forming the Dragon Kingdom's first dragon legion, the 'Frost Dragon Legion'.
appointment……"
Luke did not make big promises to the dragons in his inaugural speech. Instead, he took advantage of his appointment as King of Dragon Kingdom and the opportunity that some dragon kings still believed in him to quickly build the organizational structure of Dragon Kingdom.
If Longguo wants to cope with future crises, it must not continue to be so lax.
No matter how many younger brothers recognize you as a leader, you must act like a leader and shoulder your responsibilities. Of course, you must also have the bearing of a leader. If some younger brothers do not support you now, you must give them the opportunity to support you in the future.
The new king's voice quickly spread to every corner of the Dragon Kingdom as the dragons left King's Peak.
It also includes the nearby ice and snow castle.
The Silver Ice Dragon King Soto is entertaining the returning Archangel Cromwell.
Archangel Cromwell did not leave Dragon Kingdom after his last visit to Queen Soto. No matter how confident Queen Soto was, as long as the King of Dragon Kingdom was not elected, it was uncertain who would be the King. He had to bring back the news of who would become the King of Dragon Kingdom to Sky City.
As a result, things happened just as Archangel Cromwell worried. The Silver Ice Dragon King Soto unexpectedly lost to the Taotie King in the second round of trials and did not even enter the third round.
Today, Archangel Cromwell just received the news that King Taotie became the King of Dragon Kingdom, and he immediately visited King Soto again.
Before they had even had a few words, King Taotie's appointment to King Soto was delivered to the Ice and Snow Castle.
Frost Dragon King!
It is the official title given to King Soto by the King of Long Kingdom.
The Frost Dragon Legion is the military organization given to King Soto.
The title and organization made King Soto a little dazed, and he couldn't figure out what King Taotie wanted to do.
"Do you think you can win me over like this?"
King Soto expressed disdain for these tactics.
Cromwell, who was floating in the air, said: "It is beyond my expectation...and the expectation of Sky City that King Taotie became the king of Dragon Country. King Taotie's origin is unknown, and he is not even a dragon. How can he become the king of Dragon Country?"
There is something wrong with your trial rules. King Taotie is not qualified to participate at all."
The Silver Ice Dragon King Soto retorted: "The identity of the Dragon King of the Taotie King is recognized by all the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Kingdom. He allowed the giant dragons to return to the Extraordinary Forest, provided a transit station for the giant dragons to go to the secular world, and gave the Dragon Kingdom strategic depth.
He deserves it!
All Dragon Kings are eligible to participate in the King's Trial. This is the right of all Dragon Kings."
Archangel Cromwell did not expect that King Soto would still defend King Taotie on this issue. He did not continue to question King Taotie's qualifications, but instead said: "I came to visit you this time to tell you that Sky City's invitation to you is still valid. In the angel's cognition, you are the real king of Dragon Country.
I think after your visit to Sky City, the Sword of Oath will openly acknowledge your status as king."
King Soto sneered and said, "Does Sky City want to create two kings in Dragon Country? Let me tell you, and tell the Sword of Oath, that King Taotie has won three trials, and his identity as king is recognized by all the dragons in Dragon Country, including me.
He is the king of the Dragon Kingdom, but he is not my king."
After being retorted twice, Archangel Cromwell spoke more cautiously next time: "The angel just thinks that you are more qualified to lead the Dragon Kingdom. King Taotie is too close to humans. If he becomes the king of the Dragon Kingdom, it will inevitably push the Dragon Kingdom towards human civilization.
You certainly don’t want to see dragon civilization being swallowed up by human civilization, and dragons being enslaved by humans.”
"This will never happen!" As if his reverse scale had been touched, King Soto roared: "If King Taotie dares to do this, I will kill him regardless of the consequences."
Cromwell immediately said: "If you are determined to seize the throne, the angels are willing to give you all the help they can."
King Soto looked at Cromwell with a different look: "Just like the Sword of Oath took the position of Archangel?"
The death of Archangel Aldry is definitely the biggest stain in the life of the Sword of Oath.
But at that time, Archangel Oldri was determined to die, and the Sword of Oath had no better way to seize the throne.
This matter is the most taboo topic in Sky City.
Archangel Cromwell’s face immediately became very ugly: “Sometimes the road to justice requires some sacrifices, and the Sword of Oath just did what he should do.
King Soto, you are responsible for leading the Dragon Nation back on the right track! Do you dare to bear the damage to your reputation for the sake of truth? "
Archangel Cromwell's words made King Soto's expression become extremely serious: "Although I know that you are trying to instigate civil strife in the Dragon Kingdom with bad intentions, I have to admit that you are right.
I will go to Sky City as the Dragon King to meet the Sword of Oath. For some things, I need his personal promise. "
Archangel Cromwell saluted King Soto and said, "Sky City welcomes your visit at any time."
King Soto said arrogantly: "You can go back to Sky City. The relationship between dragons and angels has not yet eased. If you come to my place frequently and are seen by other dragons, it will affect my reputation in the Dragon Kingdom."
"I should go back to Sky City. Welcome to Sky City again..."
