Chapter 243 1 year later
The residents of Dragon City spent a year in peace.
General Shuriel, who had been out of touch during this period, also returned to Dragon City at some point.
The Silver Dragon King Sylph, who had occasionally appeared before, has appeared in the city more often recently.
Even the Red Dragon King's rebels, who had disappeared outside the city for a year, have become active again.
All this is because the once-in-a-millennium Sky Island Dragon God Festival is about to arrive.
The dragon people in the city are all looking forward to the dragon ball recognizing its master.
They expect that the Silver Dragon King, whom they have supported for a thousand years, will be officially recognized by the Dragon Ball and become a true leader.
The first thing Shuriel did after returning to the city was to find Sylph and explain her achievements in the past year.
During this trip to the human race, Shuriel had only one mission, which was to find a drop of the essence of the World Tree, [Tears of the Goddess].
One year is not enough for Shuriel to find the essence of the World Tree in the Great Labyrinth: World Tree.
However, the [Fruit Wine] Guild brought out a total of three drops from the Great Maze that year.
Among them, one drop was bought by Had, the president of the Had Chamber of Commerce.
Shurael brought back a drop to Sky Island.
No one knows where the last drop has gone.
Shuriel has been searching for the last drop of [Tears of the Goddess] for this year.
Used to temporarily extend the life of the exhausted dragon balls and confuse the Red Dragon King Red.
Sylph knew that this task was not easy, but Shuriel did not let her down and brought her good news.
[Tears of the Goddess] has been found and brought back to Dragon City.
"Lady Sylph, do you want to use that drop of the World Tree's essence now?"
"Aunt Shu Ruier, there's no rush for this matter. We can still use it on the day of the Dragon God Festival."
After all, Sylph couldn't guarantee how long this drop of [Tears of the Goddess] could keep the Dragon Ball alive.
It is better to wait until the critical moment to use it to ensure that there is no risk of error.
Shurel took out a small wooden box from the package. "Lady Sylph, please keep this drop of [Goddess's Tear]."
Sylph looked at the box but didn't take it.
"Aunt Shurel, according to the normal process of the Dragon God Festival, you are the only one who can touch the Dragon Ball before it recognizes its master. Have you forgotten?
I didn't have the chance to use [Tears of the Goddess] to activate the Dragon Ball that day.
So let Aunt Shurel keep it herself."
Shu Ruier was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his forehead, "Alas, I'm old and can't remember clearly."
The dragon clan has a rule that has never changed.
The storage location of the dragon balls can usually only be decided by the leader of the dragon clan.
However, on the eve of the Dragon God Festival, the leader must select the most senior figure in the tribe to deliver the dragon ball.
This elder-level figure is responsible for bringing out the dragon ball in front of all the tribesmen on the day of the Dragon God Festival.
Before the Dragon Ball recognized its master, only the elder in the entire clan could touch the Dragon Ball.
At the last Sky Island Dragon God Festival, the task of inviting the Dragon Balls was undertaken by Shuriel.
This time, there will be no changes.
Sylph pulled the elder whom she hadn't seen for a long time to sit down, her face full of worry.
"Aunt Shu Ruier, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in a good mental state."
Shurel smiled peacefully and gently stroked Sylph's delicate cheek.
"As long as Fu Fu is fine, Auntie will be fine too. Auntie can still accompany Fu Fu for another thousand years."
Sylph also smiled happily, "Aunt Shuriel, we agreed that it will last at least a thousand years."
Shu Ruier was affected by Sylph's smile, and her vision seemed to be blurred.
She almost couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was the Silver Dragon King Sylph or the little girl Fufu from a thousand years ago.
In just one year, Sylph seemed to have become a thousand years younger, and her face was smiling more and more.
Shurel concluded that this must be Mis's work.
But she was relieved for just a few seconds before her worries choked her throat again.
“Even if we can maintain the magic of the Dragon Ball and not be discovered by our tribesmen.
But on the day of the Dragon God Festival, we still can't avoid a battle with Red.
This may be the real decisive battle. . . "
"Auntie... Fu Fu is much stronger now than she was a year ago.
Even without the blessing of Dragon Ball, we can still have a chance with Red.
Don't worry, Fu Fu will take care of everything."
Shuriel could clearly feel that Sylph's breath was indeed fuller.
I think it’s because I have been busy this year and have been constantly improving myself.
But Shurel still couldn't rest assured.
Sylph is not the only one who is getting stronger.
What's more, Red still has a trump card in the rebel army that he has never really used.
That is the high priest, Connors.
During Shurel's trip to the human race, she specifically investigated Connors.
Connors is a student of Blevinder, the commander of the Holy Knights, and the highest-ranking high priest under Archbishop Michel.
A LV5 metamorphosis magician, a devout follower of the goddess, and a genius prop master.
In the Church of the Goddess of Life, the prop master who has the greatest hope of creating artifact-level props.
Of course, this information is from many years ago.
Shurel didn't know whether Connors' current level was enough to make artifact-level props like his teacher.
Once Connors really takes out the artifact-level props, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to Sylph.
Shurel did not dare to underestimate the high priest, let alone gamble with Sylph's life on what would happen on the day of the Dragon God Festival.
This year's Dragon God Festival, like the last one, contains fatal uncertainties.
Looking at the confident Sylph, Shurel came up with a strange idea.
She wanted to organize a grand party in the city before the Dragon God Festival.
Sylph was very puzzled by this.
Shu Ruier had never paid attention to any festivals other than the Dragon God Festival, and she didn't care about entertainment.
In this regard, Shurel explained that the Dragon God Festival has been a festival that brings joy to the tribe since ancient times.
This time, Red and the rebels will participate in the Dragon God Festival. The people in the city will definitely feel uncomfortable spending the festival with the rebels.
After all, it was a major festival that happened once every thousand years, and she didn't want her tribe members to have any regrets.
The reason for holding a grand event in advance was to avoid the rebels' participation and allow all the people in the city to spend a "Dragon God Festival" with only joy and no sorrow.
If possible, it would be best to pass this event on as a tradition.
Sylph agreed with Shurel's proposal and agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, she personally took Shuriel to the secret room where the Dragon Balls were kept.
There, Shuriel finally saw the dragon ball that had not been seen for nearly a thousand years.
However, the dragon ball at this moment had no luster at all, was turbid, and had cracks all over.
The magic power contained in it is even more negligible.
Sylph placed her hand on Shurel's hand holding the wooden box.
She said softly, "Don't worry, Aunt Shu Ruier, with these [Tears of the Goddess], we will definitely win."
When leaving the main city hall, Shu Ruier clenched the wooden box in her hand, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.
She didn't look back and walked straight out the door.
"I'm sorry Fufu, Auntie has no choice..."
