Janesis looked at the sky outside the window, looking at the black smoke columns floating out of the chimneys in the industrial area with a solemn expression.
Her lips parted slightly: "Burn the Ember Empire"
Along the way from the south, Janexis witnessed everything in the empire with her own eyes. She truly felt the changes in the lives of the people of Anzetta - it was a new way of life that she had never seen before.
It is undeniable that the lives of the Anzeta people, who were once plagued by hunger and cold, have indeed improved a lot.
But Janesis also discovered the danger hidden behind these seemingly beautiful appearances——
war.
This country is like a machine tailor-made for war, and everyone is just a part in this huge machine.
She had witnessed wars in the south after the emergence of firearms and artillery, which was also the source of her wariness against the empire.
With the help of these terrifying weapons, even the war between mortals has become extremely cruel, like hell descending on the world.
Janesis could not imagine what kind of disaster the entire Fianso would suffer once this war machine was operating at full capacity.
The forest where flowers and birds were singing was ruthlessly destroyed by artillery fire. Humans, elves, and halflings were all shot through by dense bullets. The earth was also riddled with holes and scorched black under the baptism of cannonballs.
Moreover, Janesis, who has been involved in human society for hundreds of years, can see that the empire's system was deliberately designed by someone behind it - the Burning Emperor, Cassius.
Janesis had hidden hostility towards the emperor, and she believed that the red dragon was likely to become a threat to the world.
The red dragon seriously injured her father, destroyed a human kingdom, and built a huge war machine.
Even though Oszedro had ordered in advance not to pursue those past grievances and to assist the empire in resisting the demonic invasion, Genesis was still unable to eliminate the grudge in her heart.
The Myhrvold clan is the guardian of the order of Fiansol. How can they sit back and watch the development and growth of such an empire that will obviously destroy peace and destroy order?
"Cassius, no matter how powerful you are, I will never give up."
She thought so in her heart.
Janesis crossed her arms in front of her, letting her silver hair fall down like a waterfall, with a look of determination in her beautiful eyes.
Even if her father doesn't support her, she will never give up.
She not only has to resist the invasion of demons, but also collect intelligence about the empire, find the weakness of the red dragon, and try her best to kill this threat.
Olivia is still too immature.
This young silver dragon was blinded by the beautiful appearance of the empire and beguiled by the words of the red dragon.
And Janice is confident that she will never make such a mistake.
Suddenly, a rapid ringtone rang. Olivia took out the communicator in her pocket and looked at the message on it. Surprise suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
"Cassius wakes up!"
She said with excitement.
Olivia turned to look at Janexis: "And aunt, Mr. Trump said that Cassius would be happy to meet with you."
"Now?"
"Well, now."
But Olivia seemed to have remembered something, and there was worry in her eyes. She hesitated for a moment, and then whispered:
"Aunt, I still hope you can put aside your prejudices, especially when you have an audience later."
She looked at Janice's blue-grey eyes with a serious expression.
"Whatever your views on the Empire, it would be unwise to conflict with Cassius at this critical juncture.
The devil will always be Myhrvold's biggest enemy. My grandfather has been working hard to keep the devil out of the main material plane for nearly a thousand years. This is him."
"Of course I know."
Janesis sighed softly and interrupted the other party's words.
"Olivia, you are still too naive. My point of view is still the same: the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily a friend, and fighting against the devil cannot change the brutal nature of the empire.
Of course, I will still complete the tasks assigned by my father, and I will not be stupid enough to have a head-on conflict with the red dragon at this time. ”
"The Pearl of Korda" Jenny Heath.
However, she also has another title that is widely circulated in the good camp-Silver Scale.
As the daughter of Oszedro, she is recognized within the clan as the silver dragon whose character is most similar to that of Silver Wing.
Stubborn, jealous of evil, and full of wisdom.
Olivia knew that she could not change her aunt's mind, so she nodded: "Okay, then I will take you there."
She led the way, preparing to go to the Imperial Council Hall - where there was a portal leading directly to Beifong Castle.
Janice looked at Olivia's back and frowned slightly.
Just when she learned the news that Cassius had awakened, she noticed something strange in Olivia's mood. Was that a surprise?
Has she really succumbed to the red dragon?
Most of the elders in the clan are positive about Olivia becoming a so-called "councillor" in the empire, believing that she can play a role in leading the empire towards justice. But now it seems that may not be the case.
You must know that Olivia is a junior who has high hopes for her father.
She is only eighty years old and has become an archmage at a young age. She is expected to become the successor of the Myhrvold clan in a thousand years.
Young dragons always make mistakes, I hope I am wrong, Jenny Hess thought.
The space rippled, and Olivia and Jenny Si appeared out of thin air in the administrative hall of Beifeng Castle.
"Good day, Ms. Olivia."
"In addition, you are the envoy to meet His Majesty, please come with me."
The half-dragon guard had been waiting for a long time, and the captain stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Okay."
Janesis nodded slightly and smiled politely.
But she sensed the guard's most obvious red dragon features - frilly ears, scarlet scales, and sulfurous breath.
There was subconscious hostility in her eyes.
Half red dragon.
At least in Fiantho, most of these beings are mercenaries from hell, descendants of evil dragons, or high-level officials of the Tiamat Church.
Ordinary red dragons do not have the ability to impart such a high concentration of dragon blood, so those who can receive this "gift" are usually Tiamat's most devout believers.
For hundreds of years, Janessie has often fought against these ferocious-looking guys, but in Anzetta, she actually wants to become allies with these half-red dragon people?
This contrast was really hard for her to accept.
"Father told me."
"It's all about the mission"
Janexis said in her heart as she followed the guards.
Olivia is already familiar with the situation. She has been a councilor in the empire for a year. She is used to getting along with these "evil races".
Soon, under the guard of the guards, they arrived at the foot of Longshan - where the palace is.
Janessie raised her head and looked at the majestic palace made of steel and rock, integrated with the mountains, with a solemn expression.
She could tell at a glance that this palace was not built by manpower, but directly created by some kind of magic-like ability.
And she keenly noticed that this palace was extremely exquisite, and even her father, a legendary mage, would have spent a lot of energy to complete it.
"This is His Majesty's residence?"
"It should be right here."
Olivia's expression was also a little surprised at this time. In just one year, the palace where she once lived had undergone such a big change.
Although it is not completely unrecognizable in appearance, its scale is much larger than before, occupying almost half of Longshan.
"Boom——"
The heavy door slowly opened, and Olivia and Janexis entered it one after another.
After walking the long road, they finally saw the main hall of the palace, with hundreds of stone steps in front of it.
"We're going to meet again"
"He should have become stronger."
For some reason, Olivia felt a little nervous when looking at the palace door with the majestic dragon head carved on it.
Compared with the scene in her memory, this palace has become much taller and more majestic, but it is still filled with the familiar smell of sulfur.
Olivia was convinced that this was Cassius's residence.
And Janexis also felt the majestic pressure around her.
Longwei.
Moreover, it is an extremely powerful dragon power that can make an adult silver dragon like her feel fear and tremble. Even her father cannot achieve this level.
Even the last great elder she had seen, the ancient silver dragon who was more than 2,000 years old, did not have such a powerful dragon power.
The red dragon was more powerful than she imagined.
Thinking of this, Janice became even more vigilant. She took a deep breath, sweat oozing out from her fair skin, and her silver-gray eyes were full of solemnity.
"Boom——"
The palace door burst open. (End of chapter)
