This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 262 - 55: Event Escalation, Silver Dragon Sandy_2

However, his words were quickly refuted.

"Bogard is not an inexperienced Elf Warrior. He is a Level 14 Druid, and to deceive him with Illusion Magic of such a vast influence is something even ordinary Legendary Mages find hard to achieve... no, perhaps not even legendary ones can manage it," another Elf Elder said with a stern frown.

Bogard had tracked the Giant Dragons’ trails for thousands of miles. If it is indeed Illusion Magic, then what level of it would be needed to influence such a vast range and so many living beings?

"Could it be a Druid’s Giant Dragon Transformation Skill?" suggested an Elf Elder.

Within the Druid profession, there exists a very advanced Transformation Magic known as the Giant Dragon Transformation Skill. This magic allows one, through cultivation, to transform into any Dragon Race, possessing the aura, demeanor, and similarly powerful Dragon Body, Dragon Breath, and Long Wei of the corresponding dragon.

Of course, although one can transform into any Giant Dragon, it is usually Metal Dragons they transform into more often. This is because cultivating this magic requires dragon scales and blood, and most Druids are kind-hearted by nature and wouldn’t hunt or seek trouble with Five-Colored Dragons or other Giant Dragons just for cultivation purposes.

They almost always obtain dragon scales and some Dragon Blood through trade with their Metal Dragon friends.

Furthermore, since it serves as a way to make money and repay a favor to a friend, most Metal Dragons are more than willing to engage in such transactions.

"Though still somewhat unbelievable, this possibility is at least more credible than Metal Dragons and Five-Colored Dragons mingling together..."

The Elf Elder who spoke first mumbled again.

Amid the noisy discussions among the Elf Elders, the great Elf Elder, seated at the top, suddenly froze for a moment. But soon, he recovered and, upon facing the chattering Elf Elders, coughed and said,

"Alright, everyone stop for a moment. My old Silver Dragon friend has come here in person. Let’s go welcome him first, and we’ll talk about this later."

.....

Outside of the massive Barrier of the Emerald Forest, a silver-haired maiden, under one meter sixty tall, hovered barefoot in mid-air, waiting out of boredom.

Soon, the Barrier opened up, and led by the great Elf Elder, the council of elders flew out. To become an elder, one must be at least Level 15, and with extensive time and talent, most Elf Elders hold dual or even triple professions, so knowing a Flying Spell or Flying Secret Technique is quite normal for them.

"Are you Marla?"

Hearing the commotion, the silver-haired maiden looked over, slightly taken aback, and exclaimed exaggeratedly,

"You’ve grown so old? Hey, hey, you aren’t about to die of old age, are you?"

The great Elf Elder, who had just come out with a big smile, had a slight twitch in his expression.

Really? Meeting an old friend and the first question is if you’re about to die??

How should one even respond to that?

"Haha, after all, I’m an old fellow at twelve hundred years; maybe tomorrow I’ll close my eyes and my soul will ascend to the Natural Divine Kingdom..." the great elder laughed it off, making a self-deprecating remark.

"Is twelve hundred years really that old? That’s still two hundred years younger than me," the silver-haired, barefoot maiden huffed, somewhat dissatisfied.

Really, this fourteen-hundred-year-old ’Silver Dragon Maiden’, you’re competing over this? Also, you’re already fourteen hundred years old and still haven’t advanced to Legendary, and you seem quite proud of it?

The great elder’s face turned dark, not wanting to speak.

Exhausting!

"But don’t worry; in less than two thousand years, I reckon I’ll more or less die of old age...." the silver-haired maiden lamented over her half-spent dragon life, then added,

"Of course, honestly, that’s impossible. I’m a genius Silver Dragon, in fifty years...a hundred... well, alright, in just another three hundred years, I’ll definitely advance to Legendary, and then my lifespan will extend by a few thousand years....

When you die of old age by then, too, I’ll frequently come to visit your corpse."

"Cough, cough, Sandy, my friend, you must have important matters to discuss coming here, right?"

The great elder, feeling quite unsettled, coughed and interrupted the self-chatting Silver Dragon Maiden named Sandy.

Honestly, he didn’t even know why he made friends with such a thick-skinned Silver Dragon.

You’re fourteen hundred years old, and it’s fine you haven’t become Legendary; after all, many Silver Dragons dump it at that age. But declaring yourself a genius Silver Dragon like that takes real audacity.

Sandy glared discontentedly at the great elder, but soon reminded of her purpose for coming this time, she said,

"Didn’t you ask earlier whether there was a large number of Metal Dragons leaving Dragon Island? That’s precisely why I came."

"Has there really been a massive departure of Metal Dragons?" the great elder’s spirits lifted, and he hurriedly inquired.

The other Elf Elders pricked their ears up as well.

Could it be that the Black Dragon Lord of Black Wing Nest secretly allied with Dragon Island?

If that’s really the case, that would be wonderful news!

However, Sandy’s next words left them somewhat baffled.

Sandy shook her head and said, "Not really, as in recent years, hardly any adult Metal Dragons have left Dragon Island, let alone a large group of young dragons who aren’t even adult dragons. If such a situation truly arose, I reckon those old geezers would definitely fly into a rage and then catch them back from around the world.

However, although there hasn’t been a mass departure of Metal Dragons, a strange event did happen a few years ago. Out of the six Dragon Beast Islands, thousands of miles from our Dragon Island, the Dragon Beasts on one island almost all disappeared, and the number of Dragon Beasts was about over two hundred."

Over two hundred...

The Elf Elders exchanged glances, harboring a bold guess in their hearts but quickly dismissing it.

"Bogard indeed saw over two hundred Metal Dragons, but the distinction between Giant Dragons and Dragon Beasts is something I doubt Bogard could mistake," the great elder said with a slight frown.

If Giant Dragons are large lizards with Dragon Wings, then Dragon Beasts are lizards without Dragon Wings. Moreover, there are many other details, not to mention the significant intelligence associated with dragons.

As for the Metal Dragons that Bogard saw, they not only communicated with each other and exhibited intelligence but also had robust, slender Dragon Bodies and each sported broad wings... broad....?

Wait a minute, in the Metal Dragons, besides the Golden Dragon, whose Dragon Wings can be considered broad, for Silver Dragons or Brass Dragons, Bronze Dragons, and Red Copper Dragons, their wings are barely longer than their bodies. While not necessarily small, they can’t truly be called broad either, as they can’t solely rely on wing strength to fly, using the Spell-like Abilities ’Floating Skill’ to fly freely instead, with wings merely assisting stability and boosting flight speed.

The elder spoke out this piece of information.

The fourteen-hundred-year-old Silver Dragon Maiden Sandy heard this, her brows slightly furrowing, no longer acting carefree, displaying a serious expression, pondering,

"Though there are some with mutated Dragon Bodies, like abnormal Silver Dragons or abnormal Brass Dragons, possessing broad wings, they are still rare within the entire Metal Dragon Clan, so it’s impossible for such a large group to appear all at once... This is troublesome, very troublesome!"

After some thought, Sandy clapped her hands, resolute, "Wherever those Giant Dragons are, I’ll go and have a look personally."

"Those dragons flew westward to the Dark Forest and eventually stopped at a maritime wasteland island, with Bogard providing information that they seemed to be fighting with the Sha Hua Fishmen and Sea Beasts... However, if you’re intending to go..."

"Alright, got it, Marla, you talk too much, goodbye~"

Before the elder could finish his words, the Silver Dragon Maiden Sandy cast Teleportation and vanished.

Seeing this, the great elder’s face changed, pondering no more, casting magic, and an Any Gate appeared before him, through which he promptly followed.

If Sandy clashes with those Giant Dragons or gets into a confrontation with the Red Eagle Blood Knight, it might be nothing for her, given she has Dragon Island backing her, and the Black Dragon Lord wouldn’t dare question her, but the Emerald Forest is the one that’d be out of luck!

If the affair causes the alliance to break and one loses an ally whilst gaining a formidable enemy, the loss would be too great!
