Chapter 325: Chapter 35
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
From “Sun’s Extinction Day” to this summer, the whole dominant continent was surging with winds and clouds in a short period of six months.
The oldest human kingdom had split, and the descendants of Eagle and Griffin finally parted. The belief of the Sun God that had once ruled the country had collapsed and bleeding bodies of the descendants of noble gods were scattered everywhere.
As the Void Mask rose, the apotheosis of the God of Knowledge and the greatest magician, Master Lamperus, and the Destruction of the holy solar system—many historians lamented that the world had been raging like a storm. It had come to an unpredictable era full of opportunities and dangers.
It was the best time while it was the worst time.
But all this didn’t mean too much to Graupel who was sleeping in the underground dragon cave. She was hiding in a small building regardless of the changes of the four seasons.
Gold coins piled up like mountains, and there was also thick and warm bedding in the undisturbed, underground cave.
Was there anything better in the world than all this?
No! Absolutely not!
Well, it would be much better if there weren’t any villains who tried to take her gold coins from time to time.
“Don’t rob my coins!” The dragon pulled those gold coins on the ground with its claws, and its eyes were full of tears. “How can you be so cruel to rob a little girl of the money she lives on?”
Those workers who were in charge of delivering gold coins looked at each other and laughed bitterly.
This underground dragon was absolutely safe as a treasury, but many troubles still existed. For example, each time when you moved the gold coins, you had to choose a time when Miss Graupel was sleeping otherwise she would cry and scream once you tried to move them. Sometimes, she would even find out a rope and claim that she would hang herself in order to blame them for their cold-blooded atrocities.
“Hey, these gold coins didn’t belong to you!”
But it was useless reasoning with her. Removing the gold coins from her was like cutting meat from her heart. Although these gold coins were not hers, she definitely had emotions for them. She even named many gold coins...
“Ah! Romeo! How can you rob Romeo! That’s my favorite child!”
“Ah! Juliet... You are so cruel! They were obviously such a good couple...”
“Oh god! How can I survive without these children!”
“No! Please don’t steal them!”
The leading worker reluctantly put down the gold coin box held tightly by the dragon and took out the communication staff.
He clicked it, and the turquoise piece at the head of the stick shone; a voice rang out.
“Hello? I’m Frost. Who’s calling me?”
“Lord Frost! Please take care of your sister!” the veteran worker shouted in despair. “She even named those gold coins Romeo and Juliet and threatened that she would commit suicide without these gold coins...”
A helpless sigh came from the turquoise piece, feeling a pain in his stomach.
“I see. Come back first and give me the withdrawal slip. I’ll get them myself later.”
After a while, Frost who had the appearance of a human came to the underground vault.
“Graupel, please stop playing,” he said. “The operation of the Void Mask Land relies on these gold coins. If you keep on fooling us, you will make a lot of trouble for everyone.”
“Do you want to do such a cruel thing to me too, my brother?” Graupel asked in a trembling voice. She guarded the large gold coin heap behind her body just like an old hen protecting its chicken.
Frost sighed deeply with his hands covering his face.
“Graupel, these gold coins are not yours. They belong to the Land,” he whispered. “You are just a keeper of the treasury, just like me.”
“They are my children!” Graupel shouted.
“You are a dragon, and you can’t have gold coins as your children.”
“Prejudice! It’s your prejudice, my brother!” Graupel stared at him. “As long as there is love, nothing is impossible.”
Frost clenched his fist, and his body trembled with anger. “You talked about Romeo and Juliet before, and now you talk about ‘nothing is impossible if there is love...’ Who taught you all these things!”
“Master Schwarier von Stolovsky Franz,” Graupel answered. “Usually, you don’t pay attention to me. Only he comes to tell me stories. You are all bad guys!”
Frost laughed; his fake laugh was really frightening.
“I see. Shoggoth, right? Is that guy called Shoggoth?” He seemed to laugh happily. “Does that guy often come to you?”
“Yeah, every time he writes new stories, he will come to me. Many of his stories are said to be inspired by the emperor, Void Mask.”
“Does he often bring delicious food to you?”
“Sure. When you pay a visit to someone, you should bring something with you.”
“Does he... also say words like ‘I can tell you stories all the time if you like’?”
“What? My brother, it’s bad to eavesdrop on others’ words...”
Frost kept a reluctant smile without mentioning these gold coins and hurried away without turning back.
A moment later, a giant dragon roared and flew up, shouting at the central square of the Void Mask Land. “Shoggoth, get out! You are such a bastard to cheat a little girl! I’m going to tear you up and dry you out!”
Over the years, Frost’s strength had been greatly enhanced due to his hard work. Although he was just a young dragon, his power was much stronger than those adult dragons. Now he roared fiercely, and his great majesty covered the land like a tide. If Wall, who had been aware of something going wrong, hadn’t weakened the impact immediately, all the tourists would have been frightened and pissed off.
Even so, many tourists still turned pale with fear. Fortunately, those who were able to come to the Land of Void Mask were all knowledgeable. And they knew that the dragon was running after the bard who sang in the square. It seemed that the dragon would not destroy a large area, so everyone ran away, leaving a large space centered on Shoggoth. But they did not go too far away, just watching from a distance.
No one had ever seen such a scene—a giant dragon fighting with a bard. If they did not take a look, they would regret it later.
Shoggoth was handing out jellyfish fudge to a little girl, and his painted face was full of laughter and joy. But suddenly, the little girl was picked up by her parents and fled away quickly. Even some of his colleagues who sang and handed fudges with him had run away, leaving him alone to face the raging dragon.
The only equipment in his hands was a lollipop and a bag of fudge.
Watching Frost roaring at him, Shoggoth could not help but sweat, even though he was a follower of the God of Arts and had great powers.
“Oh... my... my brother, it’s just a misunderstanding...” he stammered.
“Who is your f*cking brother!” Frost was even more angry, and his body circled in the air, suddenly soaring up with his claws shining. He looked at Shoggoth and said, “You’ve already called me brother! It’s not a misunderstanding!”
“Calm... calm down... We need to discuss this quietly!”
“Discuss? What do you want to discuss? No discussion!” Frost shone with a golden light and used some buff spells to strengthen his attack power.
He sent out a stronger murderous look, and the vicious cloud of killing had condensed around him. If Wall had not come here in time, many ordinary people would have been scared to death when Frost launched the attack to disperse the after-winds of the deadly cloud.
When Frost was about to attack, a flash of white light shone, and Snowflakes appeared on his head, grabbing his horn along with the whistling winds. He was directly pushed to the ground, and many paving stones had been crushed.
“Calm down,” Snowflakes said calmly. “You have plenty of opportunities to kill this guy, and you don’t have to make so much noise.”
Shoggoth went from surprise to joy, but now, he suddenly became worried. He looked at the quiet and mild expression of Snowflakes and felt like he was jumping into the ice glacier in cold winter, cooling thoroughly from inside to outside.
“It’s really a misunderstanding!” he said weakly.
“Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not will be discussed later.” As the bustle was about to end, Wall came out laughing and waved his hand. Frost turned back into his human form and waved his hand again, the broken ground restoring at once. “It’s not a good place for us to talk. Let’s find a quiet place and get some wine and food, and let’s chat while eating.”
Wall smiled with kindness. “I think the emperor must have great interests in this matter too.”
About half an hour later, Sui Xiong’s laughter rang in a hotel compartment.
