Chapter 182: Chapter 162: Bathing in Dragon’s Blood

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Richard thought about how to make a fortune with the void sandworm.

Jones’ voice interrupted his thoughts.

“We’re here.”

As soon as Jones finished speaking, the distorted light and space around it disappeared.

Its vision suddenly widened.

It was now in an incomparably huge square, paved with bluestones.

When one looked around, one could not see any buildings until the end of the line of sight.

It was vast and empty.

When it looked back, it saw a city thousands of meters high, or rather…a mountain.

The hollow out in the mountain peaks built the city.

Thick rocks formed all kinds of buildings.

Circle after circle, layer after layer.

This was a unique sight in the fantasy world.

To stand here and look up gave a strong visual impact.

At the bottom of the mountain, a city wall up to a hundred meters high defended the city.

The guards on top walked back and forth. At the same time, countless magic lights flashed, and strapping pressure filled them.

They densely arrange vast siege weapons. Once they found the enemy, they would immediately launch a fatal attack.

It could not imagine what kind of power would be needed to take down this city.

“This is the city of fortified walls, the true headquarters of the Scarlet Council.”

Savage scars covered Jones’ face. It softened at this moment as if it was a wanderer returned home.

It looked at slightly surprised Richard by his side, and it smiled.

“Elder Richard, welcome home.”

‘Home’…

Richard murmured.

Yes, he was now one of the 12 elders of the Scarlet Council.

He was also a part of this place and was well-deserved to be the leader.

Richard regressed to his senses and sighed at this fortified city.

A sense of heroism rose in his heart.

His eyes burned.

One day, Twilight City would be more shocking than this magnificent city.

Jones did not take him into the city on foot. Instead, he came to an open space hundreds of meters away.

When it got closer, it found there was a unique teleportation formation carved there.

‘Shua!’

The teleportation formation flashed.

The two suddenly disappeared.

In the next second, A hall more than 50 meters high appeared in Richard’s sight. The surrounding rock walls were embossed with countless exquisite statues.

This place was even more magnificent than the palace.

“Richard!!”

He heard a surprised voice.

Richard veered his head and saw two familiar figures. He instantly smiled.

“Ferguson, Knowles…”

Knowles, the dwarf, was the most excited. He rushed to Richard’s side with his short legs and shouted.

“Damn human boy. I knew you would be okay!!”

He stood up and patted his shoulder.

Ferguson also walked closer and looked at him with admiration.

The magic inscription on its forehead became increasingly distinct as its injury healed.

“Richard, after you took back the holy dragon’s blood from the demons’ and angels’ threat, I knew… You deserve any degree of trust.

“You did a perfect job this time. Perhaps, no one could be better than you!”

Not only did the other party survive the process of protecting the Third Princess, but he also single-handedly killed dozens of the enemy’s troops.

This was a glorious achievement worthy of an exaggeration! His reputation had already spread throughout the entire Templar City.

That cowardly king had even single-handedly ordered a considerable bounty placed on his head.

The other party was worthy of his pride.

Richard could not help but laugh. Why was everyone doing this?

After that, the few of them chatted excitedly for a long time before they dispersed.

The Third Princess was already in their hands. They still had more important things to do.

When Richard removed the sand wrapped around the Third Princess, Jones officially took over the Third Princess.

A familiar notification sounded in his ear.

[Ding~ You have completed an S-rank mission — Escape From Danger. Your outstanding performance has won everyone’s admiration. Your name has begun to resound in the ears of everyone in the troubadour’s praises. You have obtained 20 gold points.]

[Ding~ You have completed an S-rank mission — Pre-War Speech. Because of the brilliant battle results you have created, your speech has become widely known along with your reputation. It has played an extremely important role in the spread of the Scarlet Council’s beliefs. You have obtained 5 gold points.]

Two notifications allowed him to receive 25 gold points.

His mood instantly mounted.

The harder it was to obtain something, the more precious it was. There was no doubt about that.

Gold points were ultimately not a treasure that ordinary points could compare.

Ferguson arranged for him to have the best room and let him have a good rest.

After they arrived at a safe place, his tight nerves immediately lulled.

Richard, who had not slept for a few days, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

He didn’t know how long it took and gradually regained consciousness when someone knocked on the door.

He got up and opened the door.

Knowles raised its head to look at him and grumbled unhappily.

“Richard, you slept for two whole days!

“How can you sleep at such a young age?

“When Master Knowles was your age, he only slept for half an hour a day!

“Do you know how the extraordinary hunter was created? It’s all thanks to Master Knowles’ diligence!”

Richard looked at the braggart dwarf in annoyance.

“Has the plan begun?”

“President Jones has recovered from its injuries and is about to begin. So, I asked you to go over…”

As Knowles spoke, it sized him up a few times and asked curiously.

“You’re also lucky. This time, I’ll let you take advantage of me again.”

Knowles felt a little emotional after it spoke.

“But you deserve it. To be able to protect the Third Princess from so many pursuers, you can’t overpraise her.”

When Richard heard this, his interest was immediately piqued.

After he hurriedly washed his face, he followed Knowles to the depths of this fortified city.

In the center of the mountain peak, outside a huge hall, soldiers emitting a powerful aura were stationed.

On the way, they could see that the soldiers were all above level 15.

Knowles led them in.

The hall was cardinally simple. There were no statues around, only hard rocks.

A long black table was placed in the center. There were five carved chairs on each side, one in front and one at the back.

All the chairs added up. They were twelve.

Jones had already taken a seat right in front of the main seat.

At this time, only the seat opposite Jones and the seat to Jones’right were left empty. The other seats had already been taken.

When they heard footsteps, everyone turned their heads to look at them in unison.

When Richard saw this scene, his expression did not change.

He bowed slightly.

“President Jones, good day.”

“Good day.”

Jones wore a red and white robe. It slowly stood up and gestured to the crowd around it.

“Allow me to introduce you to everyone. This is the elder of the Scarlet Council, Richard. He is responsible for the Scarlet Council’s publicity.”

“A few days ago, a traitor who leaked information betrayed Ferguson. On the way, the templar dragoons attacked Ferguson. The blood of the holy dragon was lost.

“In a moment of crisis, elder Richard was alone. He retrieved the blood of the holy dragon under the siege of demons and angels.

“At the same time, he escorted Ferguson back to Templar City.

“At that time, the shadow of the traitor appeared again. He used the devil to abduct Ferguson.

“Elder Richard immediately went to find Knowles and entered the camp of the Templar City alone. He used the enemy’s power to remove the devil’s minions and save Ferguson.

“Then, the aura of the divine artifact on the Third Princess was revealed. It was Elder Richard who led the Third Princess away at the critical moment.

“Even though millions of Templar City soldiers pursued him, he still protected the Third Princess of the city and killed dozens of enemy troops in one fell swoop.

“And Elder Richard’s speech before the war in the rift valley made everyone in Templar City talk about our faith and purpose…”

In a short but powerful speech, Jones repeated what Richard had done during this time.

When It finished, the elders who had never met each other looked at Richard with admiration.

“Before the last war, it was a stroke of genius to proclaim the faith we seek.

“Hahaha. Now, everyone in Templar City is talking about our Scarlet Council…

“We were born equal. Why should these worms rule us?

“We were born free.Why should filthy nobles oppress us?

“Since fate is unfair, then we will rebel against fate!”

The introduction continued.

Jones looked at the elders, and no one questioned whether Richard was qualified to be an elder.

A smile also appeared on its face.

This was also an important reason why it was so satisfied with Richard.

The other party honestly approved and agreed with its idea, and was willing to fight for their common ideal.

Otherwise, who would make such a move before the start of the war?

The other party was a comrade who shared the same ideals and goals with it, so no matter how it supported him, it would not be too much.

Thinking of this, he said in a solemn voice.

“Elder Richard, we have completed the production of the ancient curse.

“Next, we remove the dragon’s blood from the Third princess’ body.

“After injecting the Holy Dragon’s blood, it will be injected back into her body.

“In this way, the ancient curse will have great power and will not be dispelled.”

Richard nodded.

“President Jones, is there anything I can help you with?”

Jones smiled.

“Of course, I need you to carry the dragon’s blood in the Third Princess’ body…”

After Jones said this, the other elders present revealed envious looks.

But since it was Jones’decision, they did not dare to say anything.

Moreover, Richard’s actions were worthy of this reward.

That’s right. It was a reward.

Richard’s eyes lit up when he saw the gazes of the people around him.

Was this even a good job?

If you said that, then he wouldn’t be sleepy anymore.

Jones didn’t wait for him to ask a question and took the initiative to speak.

“The dragon blood in the Third Princess’ body of the Templar City empire is intensely violent. It contains the unique power of a giant dragon. If an ordinary person touches even a single drop of it, their blood vessels will burst, and their souls will be shattered.

“But once they resist that violent and crazy power, they would obtain huge benefits.

“You may obtain the magic and forbidden spells inherited from the dragon’s blood, or all kinds of high-intensity magic resistance, or the body of a dragon…

“Bathing in the dragon’s blood is the dream of all heroes.

“And the dragon’s blood of the Third Princess will temporarily reside in your body, which means that you will obtain the power of the dragon’s blood at a deeper level.”

It paused for a moment and added.

“If you can’t hold on, I will suppress the fury of the dragon blood for you and won’t let you get hurt.”
