Chapter 623 - THE ONE WHO KNOWS ALL THE ANSWER



Chapter 623 – THE ONE WHO KNOWS ALL THE ANSWER

IT was just as Luo Yan thought.  He could already make a narrative based on the information he had gathered so far.  The deal between the Western dragon clan and the dark mages most likely involved Dusk and his mother.

It might have gone like this; The dragon clan agreed to betray Dusk in exchange the dark mages should heal their lady.  Of course, those dark mages wouldn't do that for free and they wouldn't just be satisfied with the fact that the war would end sooner.  They must have wanted something from the dragon clan to even propose such a deal. 

Yes, Luo Yan believed that it was the dark mages who proposed such a deal.  With how proud the dragons were, they would never propose something like that on their own initiative..

What the dark mages wanted must have had something to do with Dusk's missing demonic trait.  There's a high chance that they were the ones who extracted it or something.  If that was the case, why not kill Dusk after taking that instead of sealing him in the moon elves' forest using the Eternal Lotus? 

The only answer he could think of was because they still needed him.  But for what?  What could have they been planning that a thousand years was not enough to prepare?  Because that was how long Dusk was frozen in time in the Silent Marsh. 

The dark mages needed demonic energy.  The fact that they made a deal with the dragon clan just to get it from Dusk meant that they needed a specific demonic energy.  Which meant that the energy they needed must come from the archdemon that fathered Dusk.  And since the other was already dead, they could only take it from his son. 

There's a high chance that Dusk's father might not be just an ordinary archdemon.  There's definitely something special to him that those dark mages needed him for whatever plan they were concocting.  Since they took what they needed from Dusk, Luo Yan could only think of this possibility.

That the archdemon must have been purposely hiding his presence from the world for some reason.  That's why when those dark mages started searching for him, it was too late because he was already dead at that time. 

And it just so happened that at that time, they attacked the demon fox's village and accidentally discovered Dusk's presence.  They might even have pushed the war through just so they could get their hands on him.  And since they didn't kill him right away after extracting his demonic traits, that meant that they still have a need for his body.

Of course, all of these were just Luo Yan's assumption.  There's a chance that he got something wrong or maybe he got everything wrong.  He would be happy if he was correct.  But he would probably also feel a bit complicated.  Because being right meant that he shared the same wavelength as those game devs who loved dog-blooded plot.

[Well, that's also some kind of talent, I guess.]

He turned his gaze back to Rowan.  He could ask this dragon to check if all his assumptions were correct.  But there's a chance that the spell put on him would activate again and Luo Yan wouldn't get the answer he wanted.  In short, it would just be a waste of time.

"You, is there someone in your valley right now that can give a clear detail on that thing you can't speak of?" he asked.  Then, he raised his dagger and continued with a smile, "You understand what I mean, right?"

The red dragon nodded enthusiastically.  "I- I understand.  There's someone in the valley right now who can satisfy you and answer all your questions!"

Luo Yan raised one of his brows.  Looking at the other's shining eyes, it seemed like he couldn't wait to transfer the role of being interrogated to someone else. 

"Who is it?" he asked.

"It's the oracle.  He would definitely have all the answers!"

The oracle?  Luo Yan had heard of this person being mentioned when they were still in the valley.  According to what Rowan said earlier when he was still being an arrogant ass, this oracle made a prophecy about a group of people who would come to the valley and destroy it.

"Why could he give me the answer while you couldn't?" he asked. 

After all, if this oracle could answer his questions regarding the deal between the dragons and the dark mages, that meant that he was also there during the war and his position was also pretty high.  Why couldn't he be affected by the skill of those dark mages then?  Unless…

"Because he's not a dragon," Rowan answered, confirming Luo Yan's guess.  "He's a dark mage."

Luo Yan grinned when he heard that.

"Captain, is Mashter still having a heart-to-heart talk with that red lizard?" 

Shen Ji Yun scratched his cheek when he heard Eclipse's question.  When the other asked him earlier what Luo Yan was doing, he just said the first thing that came to his mind. 

It's a bit cringy, but at least Eclipse wouldn't think that his master was torturing someone right now.  But honestly, considering the personality programmed into Eclipse, this kid might not even be bothered by that.  Maybe he would even join Luo Yan and find it fun.

Before answering, he glanced at where Luo Yan was and saw that his rabbit was already walking towards them.  "No, I think he's already done."

Eclipse followed Shen Ji Yun's gaze and his sapphire blue eyes brightened when he saw his master.  "Mashter!"

Then, he covered his mouth and looked down at the still unconscious Dusk.  He looked worried that the other might wake up because of his loud voice. 

Shen Ji Yun noticed that and said, "Don't worry, Dusk looks pretty out of it right now.  He wouldn't wake up with just that." 

But instead of not worrying, Eclipse just looked even more worried.  "Poor uncle, he must be in so much pain."

Shen Ji Yun was quite surprised.  It seemed that Eclipse was really treating Dusk as his godfather.  One couldn't really tell based on how much he was always teasing the other.

It was then that Luo Yan arrived. 

Shen Ji Yun turned to Luo Yan.  "Did you get everything you needed?"

Luo Yan smiled and gave an 'okay' sign.  "Yes."
