Picking up Girls With My System-Chapter 379 Cult Of The Dragon, The Start

"You will stay here, recovering, right?" Arthur asked Valethar, who was now in his humanoid form after restoring some of his strength.

"Yes, and you?"

One thing Arthur wanted to do first was to return to the city and give his avatar the second part of the inheritance and his blood essence so that he could start his plan of living among vampires.

So, he had to leave, and while doing that, Garry, Larry, and Terry had a job.

"You want us to go into the dwarven mountains and spread the cult of the dragon?"

"Correct. I will return here as soon as possible to help you."

The three Dragon Priests did not need much time to think, as they quickly agreed to the request and felt like that was their destiny and vocation.

"Don't worry, lord. We will make sure everyone knows about your greatness."

"Good."

Arthur was happy about how things were going, and it was just a matter of fact for him to rescue his wife Sybille and get control of the demon continent, stopping the war for good.

But, before he left the dragon mountains, Selen came to talk with him, and by the looks, it was important information.

"Placidusax, I need to talk with you in private."

"Sure, lead the way."

Arthur and Selen went to a place without anyone around, and then she said, "I assume you lost your memories, right?"

"Correct, unfortunately."

She was talking about the memories of when Placidusax was still alive. Although Arthur had a few dreams about it through the years, his memory never returned.

"One of my ancestors lived with you back then, and there is a story passing down through generations. You stored our treasures safely, all the dragon techniques we had. Let's go after it, or the dragons will never reach rank four."

"Dragon techniques hid somewhere? Have any clues about it?" 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

"I do. I don't know if you are a genius, but it is said in the story that Placidusax hid our things inside the Dream Realm, the place those who destroyed our race control. He hid it inside enemies' territory."

The Dream Realm! One thing Arthur still needed to do inside was rescued another dragon, Nefion's brother! So, he could do two things simultaneously, which was good.

"Really? I know of a portal to the Dream Realm, but it is on another continent, and it takes years to reach it. Could it have another portal here?"

"I hope so…. Look, your Dragon Priests are creating the Cult of the Dragon, and you are busy with other things, too, so I will look for more information about this."

"I understand. Thank you, Selen, for believing we can still rise."

"We will rise again, no matter what!" Selen said firmly, and then she left, looking to prepare for her journey of finding the lost dragon techniques.

After ensuring everything was alright, Arthur also left, aiming to return to Rolmuth.

"Nykka, wake up; someone is leaving the dragon mountains," Yeva said, poking Nykka using her staff, waking her up.

Nykka woke up in an instant and looked up to see a man flying, and when she saw his face, she knew who it was.

"Arthur? What is he doing here?"

"Wait, what?" Tarinne was also asleep, and she woke up when Nykka said that.

Why were they there in the first place? They parted ways with the other adventurers, who returned to the capital to discuss their next moves.

They disliked how greedy these people were. Also, the elf they saw looked similar, which is why they waited there to see if the elf would come out, but instead, Arthur did!

Wasn't he supposed to be in Rolmuth, taking care of his potion shop? Strange, and that is why the three girls intercepted Arthur, seeking answers.

"Are they coming? What will I say? Screw this; I will speak the truth." Thought Arthur as he slowed down to ensure the three girls caught up to him.

He had seen them hiding — nothing can escape from his Emperor Eye — so Arthur was thinking about how to proceed with the situation before the girls even met him.

A voice came from behind. It was Nykka.

"Arthur, may I ask what you are doing here? You know this is where dragons live, right? Don't you have a potion shop to take care of?"

Arthur turned around, looked at them, and said, "I am a dragon. That is why I am here on this mountain. I am the same elf you saw the other day. Are you three willing to enter the Cult of the Dragon and rise above all others?"

There was no way Arthur would lose the chance of inviting them to the Cult of the Dragon. He would not have to worry about them leaking his secrets if they accepted it.

The three girls were shocked; it took them some time to process the information they had received, and out of the three, Yeva was the first to do so.

She flew closer to Arthur, took out her long mage hat, and said, "Yeva wants to be part of the Cult of the Dragon. Lord."

Yeva bowed, showing her respect. Tarinne and Nykka were still thinking about it and could not understand why Yeva had accepted it so quickly. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"Yeva, let us think this through. Are you sure about this?"

"I am certain of my decision. As a mage and historian, I want to be part of the dragon's history, and I believe they had suffered unfairly."

The three had been adventurers together since the beginning, and all of them had met Arthur before and knew he was a decent person. They believed he would not mistreat them, and they could not abandon their friend, Yeva, like that.

"We also accept your offer and want to be part of the Cult of the Dragon!"

Arthur was surprised, as he did not believe they would accept it so quickly without asking much about it.

Did people like the dragons? He was starting to think there were two extremes to this: people who wanted to kill all the dragons and those who still believed in them.

"Come closer," Arthur said.

Yeva was the first to go. When she was in front of Arthur, he placed his hand on her forehead and channeled his dragon powers, creating a strange type of rune on her forehead that vanished after a few moments.

"You are a Dragon Priest now, like the three you saw with me. I hope you can help me reclaim the glory of the dragons, and I can promise it will be your glory too."

"I-I will!"

When Arthur did that, a system notification appeared, and the tab where he could access Celestial Energy, now called Dragon Energy, had a new option.

<Cult of the Dragon: A cult that existed during the dragon age, said that those who cult the dragons are granted their powers and are known as Dragon Priests!>

<Number of Dragon Priests: 4>

Now, there was one crucial thing: the Dragon Aspect Meditation Technique! That was a skill the system gave Arthur and was meant to be given to all the Dragon Priests.

The reason? With it, they would meditate and grant more powers to the dragons, and with it, they would also receive powers from the dragons, making both sides stronger!

"There is another thing," Arthur said, placing his hand on Yeva's forehead again and giving her the Dragon Aspect technique.

She was bursting with happiness after understanding what Arthur gave her and said, bowing, "thank you, lord!"

That was the start of a cult that would shake the continent, the world, and the universe!
