Chapter 518
518 The ten-year period is up (3)
Shaking his head lightly, garen threw the matter to the back of his mind.
After that, garen left the dragon’s lair. Yuna entered invisibility and followed him closely.
He did not immediately head to the Kane continent where the imaska Second Empire was located. After all, he had returned to the planet Kara after 50 years. Garen had not yet familiarized himself with this territory before he fell into a deep sleep, so he planned to see the changes in the territory first.
Climbing up to the peak where the Dragon’s Nest was, garen looked into the distance, his gaze passing over his own territory.
With this peak as the center, the originally barren and silent land had now become a green ocean with ripples and waves in the wind. The lush forest exuded vitality.
What was more strange was that in the middle of the vast forest, there was an obvious place where ice and snow gathered.
Several icebergs stood silently, covered in snow and frost, exuding bursts of cold air. The surrounding trees were quite cold-resistant.
Packs of Winter Wolves were resting here.
Garen could see some Adult Winter Wolves running wildly in the snow with their newly born wolf cubs, their snow-white fur dancing in the wind. A portion of the Arctic ice spirits had also settled here, living in translucent white houses made of ice crystals … Other than that, garen also sensed the White Dragon lady’s aura in an Ice Mountain. She was also living here with a few young dragons.
This land of ice.
The White Dragon Maiden had led the original creatures of the icy Plains of the extreme north to create it.
To Dragons, since they could not adapt to the environment of planet Kara, they would modify the environment to suit themselves.
The silver Dragon stood at the peak of the mountain, and as the breeze blew, it looked at the prosperous territory expressionlessly.
In the past, garen would have been overjoyed by the changes in his territory.
However, after 50 years in Faerun continent, his attitude had changed.
The war between the saint’s avatar and the mortal Empire, the arrogance of the ancient imaska Empire when they were gods, and the destructive power of the gods and saints … Garen had witnessed the glory and fall of the strange machine Empire with his own eyes.
And besides the ancient imaska Empire, there were also the powerful Eladia Empire and the Netheril Empire … These powerful magic empires could not escape the fate of destruction as time passed quietly, and they became insignificant gravel in the river of time.
All of this made garen understand a principle.
No matter how great the power, territory, or family, it was not as real and effective as one’s own strength.
What kind of existence could last forever in the infinite time dimension?
A God?
The gods would also fall. The strange islands floating in the astral world, one of the outer Planes, were the corpses of the gods, the last traces they left in the multi-dimensional universe.
Even gods can’t be eternal.
“The Dragon of eternity and time … Gods can’t be eternal, but can I?”
Garen asked himself in the swaying wind.
A few rays of sunlight fell on The Silver Mask, and after a moment of silent thought, the Dragon’s expression became determined and deep.
one day, I will obtain a power that fits the title of the Dragon of eternity and time.
“I can!”
Garen answered himself silently.
A few minutes later.
Two figures wrapped in magic aura appeared in garen’s field of vision.
Garen shifted his gaze and looked at the two high-level human spellcasters who were approaching him, kriqins and Fred.
Very quickly, the two of them stopped at a mountain peak that was lower than garen’s and stood on the slanted slope.
great Eternal Dragon, your followers pay their respects to you and welcome your return.
The two spell casters lowered their heads and spoke in a low voice, expressing their respect to garen.
“What’s the matter?” garen nodded slightly and asked calmly.
The mages looked at each other.
After hesitating for a few seconds, the one garen thought more highly of before, kriqins, spoke up.
His tone was a little nervous as he said in a low voice, ” my Lord, the ten-year contract we made to pledge our loyalty to you has ended.
“Oh?”
The silver Dragon lowered its eyes and looked at the two human spell casters.
The sunlight was blocked, and the shadows extended over, shrouding them within. Kris and Fred were not affected by the Dragon’s might, but they both felt an extremely great pressure. Their faces turned a little pale, and they lowered their heads deeply.
Ten years …
Without realizing it, garen had almost passed the Dragon Whelp stage in the main timeline and had become a young time Dragon.
“Raise your head and look straight at me.”
After hearing the unquestionable deep voice, the two mages endured the psychological pressure and slowly raised their heads to look at the Dragon that was as majestic as a mountain.
The two spell casters who were highly respected in the outside world were somewhat humble here.
my Lord, we are not very talented in magic. We have followed you for ten years, but we have not made any progress.
we can’t help you anymore. In front of you, we’re getting smaller and smaller.
“And you know, as humans, we don’t have long lifespans.”
In the coming days, we hope to live with our free will and explore the mysteries of truth freely.
After that, the two of them fell silent.
They were waiting for garen’s decision.
A few seconds later, the silver Dragon opened its mouth under the nervous gazes of the two.
“You’re free.”
After receiving garen’s response, the two of them were overjoyed. However, looking at the silver Dragon’s indifferent expression, they suddenly had the thought that they did not want to leave, and began to worry about their gains and losses.
“Sir, thank you for your understanding.”
if you need us in the future, please let us know. As long as we’re alive, we’ll answer your call and help you.
The two of them bowed deeply to garen and said.
To kriqins and Fred, becoming garen’s followers was something they had no choice but to do.
However, after getting along with garen, they gradually knew that this Dragon of Time was not an evil Dragon. It was not so difficult to accept that he was working under garen. In the end, they slowly accepted their identity as a Dragon’s follower. However, as spell casters who advocated the truth and knowledge, even garen could not make them follow him wholeheartedly.
Now, the time for the contract was up.
Out of respect for garen, they did not leave immediately, but asked garen for instructions in person first.
“Let’s leave,”
“However, regarding my matters, you all know if you should say it or not.”
Garen said calmly.
After staying in another timeline for fifty years, his current spell attainments and knowledge reserves far exceeded the two high-level spell casters. They were indeed unable to provide any help to garen anymore. Moreover, in these ten years, the two of them had done their best to fulfill garen’s orders and had not slacked off. Hence, garen decided to let them leave freely.
“Please rest assured.”
The two of them once again swore in the name of the Dragon of eternity and time that they would not reveal any information about garen to the outside world.
After that, Kris used a dimensional teleportation spell to leave Kara planet with Fred.
These two spell casters who had followed garen for ten years disappeared from garen’s sight.
As for the two of them leaving, garen didn’t feel any pity. If these two could reach the level of legendary spell casters, he might use the eternal life spell as an exchange and sign a loyalty contract for a period of time. However, they were only two high-level spell casters now, so they were not of much use to garen.
Only creatures above the legendary level, or special cases with extraordinary potential like the alpha clan, were worthy of garen’s attention.
“Shall we go?”
Yuna’s voice entered garen’s ears.
Garen nodded his head slightly.
The enmity with the imaska Empire would be inherited by the second Empire, and now it was time to resolve it.
In the next second, the imaska crown appeared between garen’s dragon claws.
After more than thirty years in Faerun, the secret weapons obtained from the ancient imaska Empire had completely acknowledged garen as their master. These secret weapons were programmed to retain the legacy of the strange machinery at all costs when the ancient imaska Empire was about to be destroyed and were about to be sent away. Following the Dragon of Time, the security of the strange machinery legacy was self-evident.
Therefore, the other six artifacts, like the imaska ring, recognized their Masters extremely quickly.
Buzzzzzz!
The blue gem on the top of imaska’s crown emitted an Azure light.
The space that was touched by the light rippled like water, and then it was slowly pulled open like a water curtain, forming an interdimensional portal that could accommodate a super-large true dragon.
The two super-large legendary true dragons, one after the other, passed through the dimension portal opened by the kingdom of imaska and disappeared from Kara.
