Chapter 654: Chapter 649: The Giant Dragon Pursuer and the Dragon Hunter Chapter 654: Chapter 649: The Giant Dragon Pursuer and the Dragon Hunter “Indeed, the Tiago Kingdom is the most powerful force in our subcontinent, but only on our subcontinent. There are much stronger forces on other subcontinents, to whom we can ask for help.”

“Requesting aid from the forces of justice on other continents? That indeed could be a good choice, but the price to pay seems rather high.”

“Any price is better than becoming refugees from a fallen nation.”

“Actually, we can not only invite those forces of justice. we can even contact the Church of the Dragon Hunter, King Malok. The Frost Queen Clodia, who has conquered the Four Duchies, is sure to be of interest to many dragon hunters. This could become their badge of glory, they would be willing to come even without payment. We only need to spread the information and let the fame of the Frost Queen spread worldwide.”

“This indeed sounds like a good idea, let’s follow this plan. Action must be taken. Our kingdom absolutely will not crumble, it will continue on eternally.”

….Under the pressure of impending doom, the northern alliance demonstrated extraordinary execution. Those legendary humans used their own channels to spread the news of Clodia to other subcontinents, hoping to attract the attention and curiosity of other powerful entities.

At the same time, they also contacted the Church of Dragon Hunter, King Malok, presenting all the information they had collected about the Frost Queen. As they had predicted, the church took great interest in the Frost Queen’s existence and responded promptly.

“Have you heard? There’s an incredibly powerful White Dragon in the northern part of the Depluson Subcontinent,” a slender bartender whispered to a man drinking at the bar, amidst the buzzing discussion amongst the mighty professionals in the adventurer’s tavern.

“A powerful White Dragon, hahaha!” The man adorned in leather armor, reeking of strong liquor, repeated the word ‘powerful’ with an emphasized nasal tone, then burst out laughing.

It was indeed laughable to him. As a legendary dragon hunter, his sights were always set on Red Dragons and Blue Dragons, the mightier species. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had hunted a White Dragon – it could have been hundreds of years ago.

The legendary dragon hunter’s booming voice echoed throughout the tavern. Stunned silence prevailed for a moment, then the barroom erupted in laughter.

“What kind of White Dragon would be considered powerful? An ancient dragon species that barely attains legendary status after twelve hundred years by relying on its dragon bloodline deserves to be considered powerful?”

Hearing the brazen laughter in the tavern, the bartender quietly washing a crystal glass didn’t get angry. He silently waited for the laughter to subside, then said, “What if the dragon is a divine, gigantic dragon? What if it’s a White Dragon that broke through to legendary status in less than a hundred years? Would that be considered powerful?”

“Do you know what you’re suggesting?” The legendary dragon hunter, Hiro Wei, opened his eyes that he was about to close in his semi-drunken state. A dazzling spirit light shone within them.

“According to the information I have, the White Dragon’s eyes are golden. Do you know what that means?”

“Within a day, I want all the information on this dragon.” The reputation of this famous dragon hunter clearly hinted he was now thoroughly intrigued.

“So, you’re interested now.”

“Of course, no dragon hunter can resist the temptation of hunting a divine, gigantic dragon, even if it’s a White Dragon. The divinity it has fused with would make it incredibly powerful. The fact it broke through the race restrictions and reached legendary status in less than a hundred years is proof of that.”

“According to my current intelligence, even without divine ascent, this White Dragon wouldn’t need long to reach legendary status. It’s a law-abiding White Dragon. Compared to a White Dragon, it’s more like a Metallic Dragon.”

“No need to tell me anything more, just sell me all the dragon’s information. I have ample funds.”

“You can have the information for free, but there’s something I need to point out. We obtained the information about this White Dragon easily, like it was given to us. Someone is deliberately spreading information about the dragon, so I sent someone to the subcontinent where the White Dragon is.”

“What did they find?” Dragon Hunter Hiro Wei asked nonchalantly.

“The White Dragon is a King Dragon. She’s preparing to gather her minions for an expansion war against nearby nations.”

“A King Dragon, that’s even more of a challenge.” Dragon Hunter Hiro Wei was completely excited now. His face turned flushed as though he was drunk.

“I advise you to be careful. This dragon is very dangerous, and there might be a big force behind her, one that you cannot afford to provoke.”

“I am a dragon hunter, born to hunt dragons. If I hesitate and hold back due to a dragon’s might, then there is no meaning in my existence,” Hiro Wei replied with an indifferent air of determination.

…

Central Cloud Island, Xena Pus, Wind King Castle.

“Muria, what do you plan to do with those humans? You’ve kept them imprisoned for ten years already,” a silver-haired, pointy-eared maiden with a soft voice asked Muria.

“Was it that Elf Archer who sent you here? Hmph!” Muria gave a sidelong glance to the Silvermoon Elf, Hesel, who was standing below, while she coldly snorted, “I should have never let her go.”

“No, I came of my own volition.” Hesel quickly held up her hands, then persisted, “Are you really going to imprison them on Xena Pus? Using them as a source of life energy, do you not think it’s much? They’re not your enemies or wrongdoers. They’re just a group of good-natured, legendary people who wanted to hunt Evil Dragons.”

“But the so-called evil dragon they wanted to hunt was from my clan. She’s not an Evil Dragon. You must pay for the wrong things you do. I presume I don’t have to teach you such basic principles, Hesel,” Muria retorted while gripping the armrest of the Crystal Throne she was sitting on. “Whether Clodia is an Evil Dragon, you know. Everybody witnessed how the humans lived under her rule. However, they attacked Clodia without knowing right from wrong, without asking [why], and attempted to kill her. I cannot tolerate that, and they must pay the price.”
