Chapter 624: Heaven Beyond Heaven
When I woke up, the images in my dream appeared clearly.
Russell couldn't help but sit on the bed, meditate for a while, then wash up, eat breakfast, and use Youmeng Teleport to go to work in the Red Keep.
Along the way, I kept thinking.
Everything that happened in this night's dream was too complicated and contained too much information, making it impossible for him to sort out his thoughts in a short period of time.
"Your Highness." The attendant came to ask, "Do you need a regular court meeting today?"
"No need." Russell ordered. He was not a workaholic. After forming the cabinet and the Dragon Corps, he spent most of his time away from the boss.
Moreover, without his dictation, the development of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy was smoother, and industrialization was in full swing. This naturally made Russell feel more at ease, no longer entangled in domestic affairs, and concentrated on studying high-end games.
He took out the "Path of the Human Dragon" that he had compiled and handed it to his attendant: "Send this practice material to the Lei Sheng Conference."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The attendant left before another attendant came in: "Your Highness, the chief minister of the cabinet wishes to see you."
"Invite him in."
Baron Gervaidas entered the door and said happily: "Congratulations to His Highness Happy for being promoted to Phantom Dragon, and congratulations to Your Highness for being promoted to Level 2 Advanced Phantom Dragon Knight. This is another great joy for the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame. It should be edicted to the whole country and the whole country should celebrate!"
"The exciting news can be spread, but there is no need to celebrate it nationwide." Russell waved his hand.
I have embarked on the path of knighthood and practiced all the way to this day. There have been too many days of celebration.
Russell was so numb that he didn't want to celebrate anymore: "The situation in Longmian Continent is very dangerous now. The cabinet must focus on industrial development. In addition, the fertility policy and immigration policy must be implemented unswervingly."
"Yes, Your Highness." Baron Gervidas responded regretfully.
As the chief executive of the cabinet, he was Russell's yes man. He would do whatever Russell said.
"Okay, I'm going to Shadowflame Mountain to learn the ways of knights." Russell stood up, and Baron Gervidas left quickly.
Go through the underground passage and arrive at Shadowflame Volcano.
The Shadow Flame Dragon did not soak in the magma, but crouched in an open space and stared at the sky above its head.
Gurgling.
The magic dragon language sounded, and the Shadow Flame dragon turned its head and looked at Russell: "Here, Russell, now Shadow Flame believes that you can lead Shadow Flame to create a new era! Shadow Flame's feeling has never been so strong, never before. !”
Russell nodded calmly.
The Shadow Flame Dragon immediately discovered the abnormality in his mood: "If Shadow Flame's guess is correct, it seems that you have something on your mind?"
"You guessed it right."
"Oh, talk to Shadow Flame." The Shadow Flame dragon stretched its head in front of Russell, and Russell's figure was reflected in its slender pupils.
Russell sat directly on the edge of the platform, with his feet dangling in the air, frowning and said: "Shadow Flame, do you know what this world is like?"
"Ice, volcano..." The Shadow Flame Dragon responded.
"Then do you know what the universe is like?"
"Universe?" The Shadow Flame Dragon shook his head.
"There is a tree in the universe. Let's call it the tree of the universe. Its root system and trunk are unpredictable, and one of its leaves shapes Longmian Continent." Russell tried to deconstruct last night's dream.
"I don't understand."
"It's quite difficult to understand, it's too mysterious, and I can't describe it. But according to my guess, this cosmic tree is the source of all magic power. It supports all living creatures in Longmian Continent."
The Shadow Flame Dragon frowned, wondering whether what Russell said was true or false. It had lived for more than four hundred years, but unfortunately not much was known about it.
The dragon also has no innate wisdom, and everything depends on human inheritance.
Russell didn't want it to understand, but just wanted to get some reference feedback. He continued: "But this cosmic tree has withered, and its leaves are being pulled away from Longmian Continent. Once it withers completely, Longmian Continent may be destroyed." There will be a dead silence.”
"Why?" The Shadow Flame Dragon discovered the blind spot, "Even if the magic power dies, humans can still survive."
"This is just my guess. As for the evidence, it may be the frost star."
"Froststar?"
"The leaves of the Frost Star's Cosmic Tree have been completely separated, so the Frost Star is broken and is rushing towards our Dragon Star. Those Frost and Snow Trolls may have taken this opportunity to pass through the gate to another world and steal the Dragon Star's magic power. ”
"I can't understand." The Shadow Flame Dragon didn't understand. It couldn't imagine the image of the tree of the universe, nor did it understand how the planet moved.
"You know." Russell didn't care whether the Shadow Flame Dragon understood it or not, and said to himself, "The tree of the universe has seeds, just like crops in the field, with flowers blooming and falling and fruits all over the ground, but its seeds are very subtle. "
The Shadow Flame Dragon asked: "How subtle?"
"Its seeds are ice cream."
"Um?"
Looking at the Shadow Flame Dragon's resolute look of disbelief, Russell said slowly: "It's true, Ice Cream is the most magical dragon. It surpasses the ordinary elemental dragons. Shadow Flame, believe it or not, Ice Cream Volcano The eruption will surprise you.”
The Shadow Flame Dragon stared at Russell for a long time.
It didn't believe what Russell said, but it also knew that Russell wouldn't joke casually, which made it shaken.
Then, it asked softly: "Then, is it a tree or a dragon?"
"It is both a tree and a dragon." Russell tried to explain something, but soon shook his head. This was impossible to explain. You can't take a dream as the truth, so he can only say, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."
Unexpectedly, the Shadow Flame Dragon looked at him and nodded decisively: "Shadow Flame believes it!"
"Huh?" Now it was Russell's turn to be surprised.
The Shadow Flame Dragon's head came close, and the hot air from its nostrils almost ignited the air: "The dragon firmly believes in the knight's belief!"
"Huh!" Russell exhaled a breath of turbid air, and it was a little difficult to resist the Shadow Flame Dragon's almost "confession" of trust.
But the next moment,
The atmosphere was destroyed by Shadow Flame Dragon itself: "So, Russell, do you want to ride a tree or a dragon? Or do you want to be called the Giant Tree Knight by others, Ares, Blazing, and Bandit Torrent?"
"Ahem, Shadow Flame, don't say these sarcastic words." Russell said, "Let's wait for the arrival of ice cream together."
He pointed to the crater and smiled mysteriously: "Now, it is above the head, outside the sky, brewing a volcanic eruption!"
The earth has no hope, hope is in the sky.
The Shadow Flame Dragon raised his head and looked at the sky. Russell also raised his head and looked at the sky. One person and one dragon stared silently.
Russell didn't know what the Shadow Flame Dragon was thinking.
But he himself was thinking that perhaps it was because the earth had lost hope and needed to sow the seeds of the cosmic tree outside the sky, so the mother of the earth, that is, the planetary will of Dragon Star, led him here.
With his help, plant the seed of Xiao Menglong in the world of Tianwaitian, where there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Perhaps, those frost trolls who came through the gate of the other world came for Xiao Menglong's seed of hope. The frost star is broken, the leaves are peeled off, and the world of the frost trolls has completely lost hope...they can only rob!"
At this moment, Russell didn't know how to resist the invasion of the frost star.
But he believed that the hope represented by Xiao Menglong would give him the answer and protect the Dragon Sleeping Continent.
Whoosh!
The day star fell, a meteor passed through the sky of the Shadow Flame Crater, and a new frost troll descended.
