Chapter 777 You Said You Wanted to Be Us?
Sleepless all night.
Feikomodo sat in front of the hall of the Dragon Palace and stared blankly, like an ordinary old man quietly recalling the past. His wrinkled face was full of traces of the long years, and only his eyes occasionally showed joy and melancholy.
Until the sun rose, he suddenly said.
"He is really back."
Just as Lord Salunen had told him before, he believed for more than 800 years and waited for more than 800 years until this moment came true.
At this time, a dragon monk came in and handed him a letter.
He opened it and took a look. There was nothing on it, only an address.
The other party seemed to know that he had known who he was through the traces outside the city, so there was no extra words.
And Feikomodo was not surprised at the arrival of this letter. He even stayed awake all night waiting for it.
Get up.
He changed his clothes and walked out of the Dragon Palace alone without calling anyone.
This is the edge of the city, and it is also the limit of the suppression power of the bronze dragon king statue.
A tall wall made of stone bricks stood in front of him, extending into the distance. There was an Acropolis at the corner, which looked like a fortress embedded in the city wall.
Fekomodo climbed up the Acropolis. There were defensive stone chambers and arrow shooting windows on the second floor, and a pavilion-like building structure on the top floor. From a high position, he could see all the scenes in the city.
A figure stood in front of the pavilion, looking at Fekomodo.
It seemed that he had been observing and sizing him up on his way here.
To see if he was the Fekomodo he once was.
To see if he was still trustworthy after crossing such a long time.
The other party was wearing a black cloak and his hair was dyed copper red, the color of the people of the Golden Tribe. That was the first tribe he arrived at and the first place he knew about this world.
But seeing those eyes and that familiar face, Fekomodo knew who it was.
The other party said: "When I built the Black Iron City, why didn't I think of building a city wall? With the city wall, it is indeed much more spectacular and gives people a great sense of security."
Fei Komodo absentmindedly climbed up the stairs little by little, holding the wall, but his eyes were always focused on the man until he spoke to him.
He said while speeding up the climb.
"Because you can't use it, Lord Helfas!"
He finally called out the other party's name, he walked step by step in front of the other party, and then knelt on the ground.
"Your name is the strongest city wall in the world, and it still surrounds the border of the place we set foot on."
He was full of excitement, and when he stood in front of the other party, he only had the last relaxation and relief, as if he had fulfilled the last wish in his life.
"You are finally back."
"Back then, my father fought with you against the dragon and died together outside the Black Iron City. We all felt despair."
"Only Lord Saren said that you returned to the Kingdom of the Gods and would come back to the world one day."
"Since then."
"We all believe that you will come back and have been waiting for you."
Fekomodo was the youngest son of the blacksmith officer under Helfas in the past. His name was given by Helfas and he was born in the Black Iron Tribe. Therefore, Helfas felt familiar with the name when he heard it.
When Helfas and his father died, he was still a child and was raised by the Bronze Dragon King Saren.
Helfas looked at Fekomodo's old face and it seemed difficult to align it with the newborn baby.
Similarly, he was no longer the child who was put on his father's shoulders and looked at him worshipfully while speaking in front of the council hall.
Helfas remembered his father, the blacksmith who wielded a sledgehammer.
"Your father is a hero, but unfortunately I couldn't bring him back."
Fei Komodo said: "In my memory, my father always talked about you. His greatest honor was to come to the Black Iron Tribe and become your blacksmith officer."
"I think he should be satisfied to die with you in the end."
Helfas asked: "Did the merchant ask you to wait for me, and did he leave the Sealed Book?"
Fei Komodo: "Yes."
Helfas: "Where did the merchant leave the Sealed Book?"
Fei Komodo shook his head: "I don't know either. He just said that you will arrive there one day. I think Lord Salunen should have left the Sealed Book in a place where only you can find it?"
"The things related to the book are too important, and the best way to keep the secret is to make it known to no one except you and him."
"But this is also my guess."
He asked: "Did the merchant leave any words for me? Did he let me revive him?"
Fei Komodo finally raised his head and shook his head.
"Lord Salonen has his own arrangements and arrangements for everything about himself. Lord Helfas, you don't have to worry or do anything."
"Just as you return as promised, one day, the figure of the Bronze Dragon King will linger in the sky again."
"Lord Salonen only told me the existence of the Sealed Book, and then told me to tell you that you must find the book after you return."
"Because only when the book is in your hands can everyone feel at ease."
Helfas understood that the merchant did not leave the location of the book, but only left the information of the book's existence to tell him.
The other party seemed very sure that as long as it was the real Helfas, he would be able to find the book.
He nodded and said, "I will find it."
After saying all this, Fekomodo said, "Lord Helfas, what are your plans after your return?"
The old dragon looked at the man in front of him without hesitation.
"If you want to become the king of this world again, everyone in Zitik will become your most loyal force and follower."
He wanted to say something else, but Helfas shook his head.
"I may be able to do something, but this world no longer needs a black king."
"Every era has its own story, and everyone has a different mission at each stage."
"As the black king."
"I think my story ends just right."
Fekomodo said that all of Zitik would become Helfas's most loyal force and follower. He might think so, but Helfas, who had been a king, understood that the will of the country and the will of the individual are different.
No matter how powerful you are, even if you are a god, your believers and followers may not be completely in agreement with you. The divine decrees you promulgate will change because of their interests, and your ideals and will will be misinterpreted because of their desires.
God can kill them all, but he is powerless to stop the changes and trends of people's hearts.
For Fecomodo, Helfas is a living person, a king and leader he once was, and he is his subject.
And for this country, Helfas is just a person in a story. They may worship and yearn for him, but they may not be able to accept him coming to this world again and breaking the existing order and rules.
Helfas is not the omnipotent god. He does not have the confidence to reverse the direction of people's hearts and break the order and rules of the world, and he does not want to do so.
At this moment.
Helfas knew what the merchant wanted to tell him, but another doubt arose in his heart.
If this is the message left by the merchant for him, then why would the people of the Shenxinghui know it?
He looked at Fekomodo: "Does anyone else know the secret of the Sealed Book?"
Fekomodo shook his head: "Except for me, no one should know the specific details."
"Perhaps some powerful black iron dragons and demon hunters have vaguely sensed the source of its power, but at least they don't know the specific details of the Sealed Book."
Helfas understood everything completely: "There will be another person coming later, someone you know."
Fekomodo: "Who?"
Helfas didn't say it clearly: "The magic dragon of the Divine Form Society and someone have agreed to meet here to make a deal."
Fekomodo: "Deal?"
He hurriedly asked: "What deal?"
Helfas: "The secret of the Sealed Book."
Fekomodo: "How could they know this secret? Lord Salunen should have only told me?"
But after Fekomodo finished speaking, he immediately thought of a figure.
His expression became extremely surprised in an instant, and then fell into indifference after a moment.
After a long time, even if there are things that can surprise him, he can no longer feel unacceptable.
The so-called growth of a person may be to be able to accept anything that happens in this world!
——
In a secret mansion.
The young king walked around inside, looking very anxious.
He was waiting for someone to contact him, and this was the place to pass the information.
Originally, there were people specially arranged to receive the information and then pass it to him, but he was really a little impatient at the moment.
He thought of what happened at the celebration yesterday.
The reckless dragon was actually watching the excitement in the crowd, and was seen by Lord Fekomodo, which made him feel a strong panic and uneasiness.
Especially last night, a melee broke out outside the city, and the monks and demon hunters of the Dragon Palace fought with several dragons. It is said that another dragon entered reincarnation on the spot.
This is all the news he got, which aggravated his inner panic.
He sat down and forced himself to calm down.
But he was still thinking in his heart.
"Who died?"
"It can't be that dragon, what went wrong?"
He felt that he had a lot of ambitions and lofty ideals, but he didn't understand why everything in this world was blocking him.
The ministers and nobles of the conservative forces and vested interests blocked his various policies. The internal forces of this long-standing kingdom had long been divided into several factions, each of which was deep-rooted and difficult to deal with, because they were fighting for power and profit with him as the king.
What made him feel most distressed was that in the end he found that the other big tree that really blocked him was actually Fekomodo, who supported him to become the king and maintain the stability of the country.
His ancestor.
An old dragon who has lived for more than 800 years, a rumor is that he is from the Bronze Age, but in fact he has lived from the Black Iron Age to the present.
The other party is the pillar of this country, but at the same time he is also the behind-the-scenes controller of this country, holding the most powerful extraordinary power, as well as all the power of demon hunters and seals.
In comparison, he is more like a puppet in front of the curtain than a king.
However, Fekomodo was about to enter reincarnation, and he was once delighted by this, thinking that he could take power from then on.
But after thinking about it carefully.
He found that without Fekomodo, it would be difficult for him to grasp power, and even the throne of the king could not be stable.
He had no power, was too young and shallow, and had no time to make any real achievements.
After Fekomodo was reborn, he would become a new controller of this country. Even if he forgot that he had become a child, he had the power to stabilize this country.
For this country, he was the only one.
Those people left by Fekomodo, those conservative forces, would continue to support him to control this country, because he also represented their interests.
As a king, this was not what he wanted.
He wanted to change this increasingly corrupt country with his own hands and bring it to a new peak.
He wanted to be a king who truly possessed all the power and let everyone obey his will.
He often thought of the time when he just became king, when Lord Fekomodo asked him.
"Why do you want to be a king?"
At that time, his answer was.
"I want to emulate the dragon kings of all generations and make achievements, so that my name will remain in the world forever."
Under the steps of the throne, he silently said another sentence.
"My reputation will be passed down forever, and I will live forever."
Fekomodo was very appreciative, but he didn't seem to take what he said seriously, but in fact, he thought so.
And in the days when he became king, he found that he wanted to do all this.
If he wanted to be a real king, if he wanted to achieve great achievements, if he wanted to break free from the shackles of Fekomodo and the old nobles.
He needed to become a dragon and have his own power.
At the same time, only in this way could he get what he wanted.
"My reputation will be passed down forever, and I will live forever."
But most of the evil dragons in the known and developed civilization in this world have disappeared. They have either become magic dragons or been sealed and taken away by dragon professionals.
The rest are either far outside the known world, or each one is related to major forces. If you want to get them, you must have powerful power.
Even, you have to start a war.
He once placed his hopes on Fekomodo, begging for his help and support to become a dragon professional.
There was a time when Fekomodo was shaken and was really ready to use the power of the whole country and his remaining power to help Fekomodo fight for a chance to become a dragon professional.
Even Fekomodo revealed some of his secrets to him.
It seemed that he was about to reincarnate and was worried that some of the things he knew would disappear.
He hoped that his secrets could continue.
That was the secret of the Black King, the entrustment of the Bronze Dragon King, and why he had been sticking to it until now, even choosing to stay out of the war of dragons.
It was just a small part of the content that Fekomodo vaguely revealed, but it made the young king excited.
Because that secret was about the foundation of the dragon civilization standing in this world, as long as all the information about this secret was mastered, the largest force possessed by the dragon people could be mastered.
Even, he could become the king of all dragon people.
But in the end, he did not get the power of the dragon as he wished.
Everything returned to the starting point, and he was beaten back to his original form again, and all expectations became extravagant.
The young king, sitting on the chair, held his face. At this time, a confidant hurried to his side and put a letter sent through a special channel in front of him.
"Your Majesty, it's here."
He looked up and saw the letter, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
He opened the letter and read the contents.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were some accidents, the transaction was still going on, especially the thing he wanted to get had arrived.
At this moment, in the city.
The king rode a carriage pulled by a four-legged dragon beast through the street and finally stopped at the side of the city wall.
A group of guards rushed out and guarded the entrances and exits around.
The young king walked towards the stairs, perhaps knowing that he was doing something that violated the will of his ancestors and even betrayed the dragon people. His expression was very complicated at the moment, and even looked ferocious because of excessive force.
When the plan to become a dragon professional through Fekomodo failed, he was originally depressed and decadent for a while.
Until recently, he contacted a high-ranking member of the Shenxing Society.
He told the other party that he wanted to join them and become a member of the Shenxing Society.
For this, he even betrayed Fekomodo, who was about to enter the reincarnation cycle and had revealed some secrets to him.
The high-ranking member of the Shenxing Society did not dare to enter the city in full, on the one hand because he was worried about traps, and on the other hand because he was worried about alarming Fekomodo.
So he sent a subordinate into the city to contact him, which was the dragon that entered the city before.
The other party did not fully know the details of the transaction between the king and the Shenxing Society. He was just a person who passed on the message, and he was not even sure that it was the king who passed the message to him.
Along the stairs.
The young king kept going up, feeling a little excited.
"The egg of an evil dragon."
"After possessing it, I will become a real dragon."
This was the reward he asked for.
He hadn't started his plan yet, he just revealed the existence of the Sealed Book instead of the entire message, and got what he wanted.
He has even thought about how to completely obtain the secret of the Sealed Book from his ancestor Feikomodo after becoming a professional.
That was the plan he really wanted to pursue.
Gain the power of the sealed book.
He rushed to the third floor of the Acropolis and looked at the pavilion inside, but saw no one.
"I'm already here."
"Where are the people?"
He shouted, and at this time, a figure finally came out.
The young king was stunned for a moment. He took a few steps back, but when he retreated to the edge, he found that there was no road behind him.
Because what appeared was actually his ancestor.
Feikomodo.
The young king looked in disbelief and didn't understand how Fei Komodo could appear here.
The expression on Fei Komodo's face was filled with regret and incomprehension. He also didn't understand why a king would betray his own country or even his own ethnic group.
He asked: "Why do this?"
The young king still had luck: "Why do you do this, I can't understand?"
"Lord Feikomodo, what do you mean?"
Fecomodo's eyes were like a torch, staring at his descendant, as if he could see his panic at a glance.
"Look at your guilty look. Don't you know what you did?"
In an instant, Fecomodo's voice became extremely stern.
"Why are you colluding with the Divine Shape Society? Don't you know that they are a group of weird guys who want to subvert the dragon civilization all the time?"
"Tell me, what else did you do?"
At this point, the young king seemed to know that he couldn't cover it up, and there was no point in trying to quibble.
Instead, he became calmer, and his face that was originally a little frightened and guilty suddenly became unscrupulous and ferocious.
He also returned the same look to Feikomodo, looking at him without any sign of weakness.
"Why?"
"Because I want to be a dragon. I don't want to live in your shadow. I don't want to be at the mercy of the old guys in the kingdom."
"I want to be a king, a real king."
"Why did you say?"
When he said the last sentence, the young king's voice turned into a roar.
He finally roared out the depression he had suffered over the years, as well as the strong anger and unwillingness in his heart. He faced this ancestor who he should have respected, but it was also like a black iron dragon pressing on his head.
Feikomodo: "So tell those weird people the secret of the Sealed Book?"
"Do you know what the consequences will be if those weirdos get the sealed book?"
The young king frowned and said: "I never thought about telling them everything. I just made peace with them."
"As long as I gain the power of the dragon and then know the secret of the Sealed Book, why should I compromise with them."
"With the Book of Sealing, I can become the most powerful being in this world."
"I can even become the fifth generation Dragon King that surpasses the four generations of Black Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold Dragon Kings. I can even surpass them and become the greatest Dragon King."
Just like when everyone is young, they don’t think that they will lose.
Everyone believes that he will become the best being in the world in the future, and that he is the protagonist of this world, and this is especially true for him who was raised as a king since he was a child.
Fecomodo looked at the young king with disappointment in his eyes.
"Do you think you are the only smart person in this world?"
"They gave you a dragon egg, so you think you can become a dragon?"
"The Divine Shape Society was able to try to seize the power of the Full Moon King back then. I don't know how many people died in order to suppress them, and they paid a heavy price."
"But in the end, they still exist."
"You fell into their control and entered their trap, and you still want to get rid of and use them. Are you kidding?"
"Where do you get your confidence?"
King: "I haven't done it yet, why do you think I can't do it?"
"You just want to keep everything in your own hands. You have controlled this country and power for so many years, and you still don't want to let it go."
"In your eyes, we are no king. We are just puppets that you can control."
"If I don't cooperate with them and find a solution on my own, am I waiting for your gift?"
Fecomodo opened his mouth.
He has always believed that he was struggling to support the country. While fighting against weirdness, he was cultivating the country's talents and strength.
He has guided successive kings from generation to generation, fearing that everything will go astray, and that the great situation he created will have a dismal ending.
Even until he was on the verge of reincarnation, he was still thinking about how to maintain the country and how to use his last strength to clean up those existences that might be detrimental to the country before his death.
He never imagined that he would look like this in the eyes of his descendants.
He was speechless.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this time, the figure who had been leaning against a pavilion pillar finally spoke.
"You said you wanted to be us?"
"Is that true?"
The young king was surprised to find that there was another person at the scene. He turned his eyes to look at the other person as fast as lightning. He had not noticed the other person's existence for so long.
"Who are you?"
The man raised his head slightly, his movements were not fast or sharp.
But for some reason, the young king felt a strong pressure, even far more than the dragon power he had felt from Fekomodo.
"My name is Helfas."
He raised his head slightly under the hood, and looked at the young king with black eyes.
He smiled and said, "It's one of the people you just said you wanted to be."
