Emperor Dragon

"You understand me so well."

"Ijeona, I will keep these treasures well."

Saga's eyes lit up and he didn't shirk. Then he approached the purple python, touched his head, took out the space crystal given by the Red Dragon Lady, and collected the treasure.

"As long as you like it."

The giant purple python circled and wrapped its slender and soft body around Saga.

The scales rubbed together, making a soft sound.

after a while.

Saga said goodbye to Ijeona, and flew into the air under the reluctant eyes of the other party, preparing to leave Thorn Island.

but.

When the distance between Yakan Volcano and Saga was getting farther and farther, but before leaving Thorn Island, Saga always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Lowering his head and looking down at the rocks, grass and trees on Thorn Island, Saga subconsciously slowed down, and the frequency of flapping his wings slowed down. When passing by a low-rise valley, the little dragon's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly realized.

"I almost forgot about you."

Patting his head, Saga flipped his tail and changed direction, waving his wings toward a place in his memory and flying away under the sunlight.

Just a few minutes later, a rift with a deep bottom but a short length appeared in the golden hatchling's field of vision.

There are some scattered olive trees and redwood trees around. There are no signs of biological activity and it is relatively deserted.

This is between the Yakan volcano and the ruins of the undead.

Saga folded his wings and descended to the edge of the rift valley. His dragon claws clasped the rocks beside the rift valley, stretched out his neck, and looked down. A pair of golden eyes turned at the same time, scanning the bottom of the rift valley, as if looking for something.

Soon, the little dragon's eyes narrowed and he determined the target.

--- He collapsed pitifully at the bottom of the rift, with the soul fire dimming in his eyes and his skull drooping, as if he was an exhausted little skeleton.

It was lying on a relatively raised rock, motionless, looking numb and helpless.

On the slender bones that make up the small skeleton, especially on the leg bones, you can vaguely see many cracks and dents, which seem to have been formed by falling from high altitudes. You can also see some that were hit by falling objects at the bottom of the valley. The marks are dented, and there are many traces of friction and wear on the joints of the fingers.

Through the traces on the bottom of the rift valley and on the little skeleton, Saga was able to make up a picture in his mind.

Facing the cold moonlight, the little skeleton that was thrown into the valley by Saga and forgotten at the bottom climbed up with difficulty, trying to climb out of the rift valley, but unfortunately, the slope of nearly 90 degrees was rugged and bumpy, which was difficult for those who could not fly. For living things, it is not that easy to successfully climb up.

Climbing again and again and falling again and again made the little skeleton gradually numb, and finally lay helpless at the bottom of the rift valley, swinging motionless.

"Thankfully, Your Highness remembered it, otherwise this little hapless little skeleton would have to stay at the bottom of the rift valley for the rest of his life."

The little dragon smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

Between words, he didn't care at all that the little skeleton's predicament was caused by himself... The five-color dragon basically didn't care about the impact of his actions on lower creatures.

This rift valley is not too narrow, allowing little Saga to move in and out at this time.

Spreading its wings, the young dragon flew to the bottom of the rift valley.

The sound of air flow attracted the attention of the little skeleton.

The soul fire in its eye sockets jumped. It raised its head mechanically, its exposed cervical vertebrae clicking, and then it saw Saga, who looked like a god descending to earth under the sunlight.

The little skeleton didn't react and stood there stupidly until Saga's tail wrapped around his waist and was carried into the air, messy in the wind.

Saga folded and flapped his wings, his body drew a graceful arc, and he easily flew out of the rift with the little skeleton, and at the same time placed it on the barren ground beside the rift.

"Eh? Why don't you want to come and knock me this time?"

The little skeleton seemed to have forgotten the little evil dragon that bullied him in the past. His empty eyes just glanced at Saga a few more times, then turned around, instinctively attracted, and walked step by step towards the ruins of the undead where negative energy gathered. .

But before the little skeleton could leave, a faint light suddenly covered its body.

In this light, the little skeleton's body gradually shrank, and was finally pulled into a crystal in Saga's claws.

"You can really fit it in."

The space crystal cannot be loaded with living creatures. Saga was a little curious whether undead creatures could be loaded in, so he just tried it directly, and it was successful.

"In this case."

"Hmm... Let's leave Thorn Island with His Highness, as if we are taking a toy with us."

"It's your honor to hang out with His Highness."

Thinking like this, the little dragon spread its wings and flew high again, and soon arrived at the coastline on the edge of Thorn Island. In front of it was the endless, sparkling ocean.

"It would be great if I could go to Deep Sea Dragon City to join Golden Dragon Father... But I don't know the exact location of Deep Sea Dragon City."

"Although Deep Sea Dragon City is located in the Ocean of Storms like Thorns Island, they are located in different sea areas. Deep Sea Dragon City is in the Golden Sea, deep in the Ocean of Storms, while the Whirlpool Sea where Thorns Island is located is on the edge."

"The two sea areas are far apart. Even if I know the location of Deep Sea Dragon City, it is a bit difficult to reach the Golden Sea from the Whirlpool Sea alone with my ability."

Saga thought silently.

After staying in place for more than ten minutes, he turned around and took a deep look in the direction of the Yakan volcano.

Immediately.

The dazzling golden young dragon faced the dusk and setting sun, galloped with its wings, soared in the sky, passed over the sparkling blue sea with undulating waves, and headed towards the west, getting farther and farther away from Thorn Island, heading towards its own dragon. the next stage of life.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the shore, in the shadow of the canopy that the hatchling didn't notice.

A black crow tilted its head, its eyes reflected the young dragon on the island, and then quietly turned into a shadow and disappeared.

"Finally, finally leaving the nest."

"The female dragon's attention was attracted by the inexplicably powerful existence in the volcano, and she didn't notice my hiding. Hey, little dragon, you are mine."

Deep in the ruins of the undead, an unknown whisper rang out from within the silent death knight's armor.

——

It's late at night.

Winter has passed, but spring nights are still a bit cold.

Especially, on the vast sea, the cold night wind blows the water vapor with a slight sea smell, and slaps randomly on the scales of the little dragon.

Saga has been away from Thorn Island for six hours. Above his head is the boundless sky, and about a kilometer away below is the deep and dark whirlpool sea with undulating waves, and the sound of rolling waves is endless.

Turning around and looking back, I could no longer see the Thorn Island.

The small island is buried in the sky-blue striped sea surface, making it difficult to find it with the naked eye.

This is the first time that Saga has left Thorn Island and the protection of the Red Dragon Girl.

He felt a little reluctant.

However, while he was reluctant to give up, Saga also had a sense of freedom that allowed birds to fly and fish to leap in the sea. Although he lived a comfortable life on Thorn Island, everything on Thorn Island belonged to the red dragon. Damn it, he also has to do things according to the will of the Red Dragon Lady, and there is always some invisible feeling of being constrained.

And between this vast sky and sea.

Under the stars at night, the little dragonfly flew much higher than before.
