Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 683 - 546
Long Yi felt like he hadn’t been this relaxed for a long time. Ever since the war ended, he had spent most of his days eating until he was full and then sleeping.
The hundred thousand White Dragons that originally supported the White Dragon Empire have already returned to Dragon Island, and most of the Dragon Knights have started their vacations. The armored warriors, meanwhile, were busily removing their armor and sealing away the heavy metal armor.
This is peace.
After Suolin returned to the Green Dragon Empire, before long, the old emperor of the Green Dragon Empire, Jim Green, completely abdicated, and passed the throne to his only granddaughter, Solene Green.
From that day on, the Green Dragon Empire entered the era of the empress. And at almost the same time, the Green Dragon Empire immediately formed a friendship treaty with the White Dragon Empire, while also fully opening their markets to the Black Dragon Empire.
The Green Dragon Empire, as a nation of forests, was originally not that prosperous. Many places still retained their simple ways of life, and there were too many places waiting to be developed. So, the big merchants with loads of gold coins in their pockets were shouting and rushing into the Green Dragon Empire.
"I don’t know why, but I always have this feeling that it’s too peaceful."
At this moment, Long Yi was lying on Ai Lin’s lap, and Ai Lin was carefully cleaning Long Yi’s ears.
"Stop moving!"
Ai Lin slapped Long Yi.
"I didn’t dare to move, I was just talking."
As Long Yi spoke, he placed his hand gently on Ai Lin’s leg and softly pinched it.
"You scoundrel!"
With a smack, Long Yi’s hand was slapped.
"Isn’t it better to be calm? You think everyone is like you, thinking about fighting all the time!"
Ai Lin was speaking while moving Long Yi’s head to get him to sit up.
Long Yi smirked, and conveniently pulled Ai Lin into his arms.
"Of course, it’s better calm, and I’m not always thinking about battling. But recently, it’s been unusually quiet, you know, it’s not supposed to be so quiet."
As Long Yi was speaking, Little Zi suddenly rushed in.
"Brother Long! An old dragon has come from outside and specifically asked to see you."
"Is it Asus?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
"No, and judging by the look on his face, he doesn’t seem to bring any good news." Little Zi said in a low voice.
"Sure enough, I knew things wouldn’t be that simple!" Long Yi laughed.
When Long Yi appeared, the old dragon in a white robe bowed directly to Long Yi. Obviously, this respect was due to Long Yi’s identity as a Giant. Did Asus expose my identity to everyone?
"Greetings, Mr. Long Yi, the great Giant. We had met on the battlefield once before. At that time, however, I did not know that you were the great Giant. If I was rude, I beg your forgiveness."
The old dragon began to speak.
"You’re being too polite, but how did you know I’m a Giant?" What Long Yi was most curious about was this.
"Actually, this is exactly why Speaker Asus sent me here urgently. I have a piece of unpleasant news to tell you. Mr. Long Yi, your identity as a Giant has been known to the entire Dragon Clan in the human world."
"What!"
Long Yi instantly widened his eyes. This was his worst fear. The Dragon Clan’s friends and foes were unclear. At this time, being exposed would absolutely cause a huge trouble for himself.
"Speaker Gulelie has been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, and through your series of operations on the Dragon Clan, he found the residual traces of the Giant’s power. This made him realize the fact that you are the Giant. Then, he and Speaker Asus had a fierce conflict, and the two fought in the outer sea for seven full days. In the end, neither side came out victorious, but Dragon Island has already begun to split apart. Now, the faction of councilors headed by Asus in Dragon Island have decided to perpetuate the war from ten thousand years ago and kill you completely. Meanwhile, the councilors led by Speaker Asus believe that they should not repeat past mistakes and should strive to rebuild their friendship with the Giant. Right now, the Dragon Clan is in a loud disagreement internally, and Speaker Asus asked me to notify you to prepare. Maybe in a short while..."
The old dragon didn’t finish speaking, but Long Yi had already understood.
This time, a great war is really impending.
The old dragon came hastily and left in a hurry. He didn’t say much, but it could be seen that this matter was really very urgent.
Ai Lin stood next to Long Yi, her little face full of tension. She didn’t even know how to comfort Long Yi.
"Forget it, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, if it is a disaster, I can’t avoid it! Who cares!"
Long Yi casually remarked.
A day later, strange horn sounds emanated from the Dragon God’s Temple. Any Flying Dragon that heard this horn sound flew to the Dragon God’s Temple, and then, not long after, most of the Flying Dragons unexpectedly left without saying goodbye and collectively flew towards Dragon Island. This time, even the old dragons of the Dragon God’s Temple left with them.
Also, a small portion of the Flying Dragons stayed. According to the remaining Flying Dragons, this was the direct order from the Dragon Island council, asking all members of the Dragon Clan to leave the human world and return to Dragon Island. The tone of the order suggested that an unprecedented war was about to start. But the nearly a hundred Flying Dragons that stayed had formed deep friendships with their knights and did not wish to leave. The Dragon God’s temple did not force them - or rather, they didn’t have the time to force them.
No one knew exactly what was happening, but Long Yi knew that this time, he couldn’t stay here.
The war between the Dragon Clan and him was essentially a war between the Dragon Clan and the Giants, and this war absolutely couldn’t involve innocent people!
Long Yi decided to leave.
He must go, the farther the better!
That night, Long Yi went to the Research Institute and secretly took a Golem moded that was not yet completed..
Then, he sneakily left the Imperial City, bypassed his own camp, and went west. On the far west of the continent, there was a plateau desert. It was very desolate, uninhabited, and no country included it as part of its territory.
Long Yi decided to go there. But when he finally thought he had left, he saw a small camp in the distance, indistinctly.
Upon closer inspection, Long Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
The chef was grilling meat and Mosquito was in charge of distribution.
Ai Lin and Little Zi were cleaning utensils on one side.
Isrile was arm wrestling with Ruosha, while the fine gold Golem just stood there quietly watching.
In the distance, a large group of Dandi sisters were huddling together, chattering about who knew what.
The scene, no matter how they looked at it, felt just like a group outing.
"Took you long enough to arrive! Are you hungry? Want something to eat?"
Wesley, having spotted Long Yi from afar, descended from the sky, asking with a grin on his face.
"You guys..."
"Don’t ’you guys’ us! Do you really think you can hide anything from us? Ever since the victory of the war, you’ve been out of focus. After hearing about the Dragon Clan’s affairs, you’ve been planning to sneak away, haven’t you?"
With a smile, Ai Lin brought over a plate, the aroma of meat wafting from it.
Long Yi felt a bit teary at his nose.
Upon this matter, he hadn’t told anyone, nor shared his feelings with anyone. He was worried that they’ll worry if he told them. Long Yi wanted to slip away quietly. He would either find a way out or meet his doom.
At this point, Long Yi hadn’t even figured out how to do it.
Yet, even before he could sort it out, these people trailed behind him.
"Sigh..."
Long Yi sighed without uttering a word or offering an explanation. He simply sat down casually and started enjoying his meal.
"So, Brother Long, where are you planning to go?"
Ai Lin asked.
Suddenly, almost everyone perked their ears. Although Long Yi hadn’t spoken about what recently happened or what he planned to do, everyone knew that the conflict between Long Yi and the Dragon Clan was about to be unveiled.
Therefore, it seemed like it really didn’t matter where he’d go.
"I initially planned to go to the desert. It’s uninhabited, but it doesn’t seem to be easy now," Long Yi scratched his head.
"It doesn’t matter where we go. As his woman, as long as I’m with him, it’s all the same."
The Authentic Lolita, Tiger Whale Warrior, Ruosha let go of Isrile’s hand offhandedly and took a seat by Long Yi. She grabbed hold of his arm. Despite being a Lolita, she put on an air of a big sister, inducing laughter from everyone.
"It doesn’t matter to me either. I’ve consumed enough food recently. I reckon I don’t need to worry about finding food for a few thousand years."
Dragon Hunting Spider, Isrile pouted with her hand still held by Ruosha. Her three followers nodded in unison, ratifying her statement.
"The Blood Ravens of Hell have been liberated, all thanks to Brother Long! Our lives and bodies belong to Brother Long! Wherever he goes, we follow!"
Dandi 233 decisively moved closer. She was about to snuggle up to Long Yi when Ai Lin grabbed and tossed her aside.
"I am Brother Long’s personal guard, no one can make me leave." The Celestial Clan Warrior Nim stated firmly. It’s a joke! Even when almost destroyed by Giant’s curse, the Dragon Clan survived. Now, this small setback for Long Yi is not even a blip! If he leaves now, he’s nothing more than a walnut.
"I’ve already taken leave from home." Wesley grinned.
"I’ve already taken leave from my wife." The cook claimed likewise.
"My wife is here." Mosquito spoke quietly and glanced at the Dandi sisters who were gathering in the distance. Coincidentally, the two of them saw Mosquito look at them and vigorously waved at him.
"Damn! So envious!"
Both Wesley and the Cook showed faces of resentment.
"There’s no way I would let Brother Long, who stops making his bed once I’m gone, go on his own." Little Zi said seriously.
Ai Lin, with a radiant smile, watched as everyone around her had their say. She chose to remain silent, merely bending over to give Long Yi a light kiss.
"No explanation needed." Ai Lin giggled.
Both Wesley and the cook’s eyes widened in shock.
"Damn it! I’m still a virgin! You bastard! We must not forgive him! Right, Cook! Mosquito!" Wesley cried with tears streaming down his face.
Cook was silent for a moment before saying, "I stopped being one a long time ago..."
Mosquito looked sympathetically at Wesley and said, "I just got a promotion the other day..."
"You two ungrateful bastards! No loyalty at all!"
Wesley was rendered speechless by their response.
The Fine Gold Golem walked over, looking at Long Yi. After a while, she said, "Actually, I want to leave, but the timeline doesn’t allow me to stray too far from you, so I’ll reluctantly stay here, but I’m about to leave."
"About to leave? How soon?" Long Yi asked with a puzzled look.
"Five."
"Five?"
"Four."
"...hey, hey! You’re leaving just like that?"
"Three, two, one."
"Those battle golems are already in your private space." The Fine Gold Golem said.
"Also, I will appear again soon."
Bang!
A huge space channel formed, instantly sucking in the Fine Gold Golem, and she disappeared without a trace.
It was like this again, coming and going freely.
Long Yi was speechless. (To be continued. If you like this novel, please vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
