A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 811: Chapter 444: Path of Evolution, Ultimate Giant Dragon_4

As the fruit quickly shriveled in her hand, a torrent of scorching yet incredibly pure energy surged into her throat and then swept through her limbs and whole body like a river breaking its banks.

Beneath her skin, there seemed to be a gentle halo flowing faintly, while the aura emanating from her body rose steadily.

Eventually, her life level stabilized at a higher tier.

Level Twenty-four!

The sense of power filling her body made her unconsciously narrow her eyes slightly, revealing a look of joy.

After entering the Legendary Realm, every step forward is not simple.

Aliya, the Messenger of Good Fortune, was inherently blessed with talent and aptitude, which in the Legendary Domain, was not considered exceptional. Therefore, her level advancement greatly depended on various precious external resources, and fortunately, she was blessed with extraordinary fortune, always easily encountering, picking up, or being bestowed with those treasures that others dream of.

For instance, the red fruit she just consumed, known as the ”Blazing Sun Fruit.”

This is a rare treasure that greatly benefits even Legendary Powerhouses, produced in only small quantities within the Elf Race territory on the Orotala Continent, with the cultivation method regarded as an unshared secret by the Elf Race. The fruits are exclusively provided to members of their race and never leaked externally.

Not long ago, Aliya was leisurely strolling in the forest and happened to witness a ferocious Magic Beast attacking a lone Little Elf.

She casually intervened to repel the beast, saving the little one.

It was only later that she learned that this was the most beloved offspring of a powerful Elf Lord from the area, having sneaked out alone to play and encountered danger.

To repay this life-saving favor, the Elf Lord graciously invited her and generously gifted her the Blazing Sun Fruit.

Aliya’s own accumulation was nearing its critical point, and after consuming the Blazing Sun Fruit, she seamlessly broke through to Level Twenty-four.

However, amidst the joy brought by the level-up, a hint of gloom shadowed her mind.

”Ola Kingdom... Red Iron Dragon Emperor... Iron Dragon Regent King...”

The Messenger of Good Fortune’s thoughts involuntarily drifted to the distant Atlantia Continent, the land she was about to return to.

About six years ago, she received a message from the church, informing her that a nation of Giant Dragons emerging in the Sel Wilderness had issued a formal invitation, hoping she could visit.

At the time, driven by curiosity over a new nation founded by Dragons, she agreed.

But not long ago, she completed her affairs on the Orotala Continent and was preparing to return to the Atlantia Continent, planning to visit this Ola Kingdom along the way.

On the eve of departure.

On a whim, she requested more detailed information about the Ola Kingdom from the church.

And when she carefully read these materials, she was astonished to discover that the Ola Kingdom was originally the ”Molten Iron Tribe” from back in the day!

Moreover, she had taken a Legendary Artifact, the Hall of Heroes, from them.

”I took the Hall of Heroes to prevent this powerful artifact from falling into the hands of the wicked, thus avoiding widespread calamity. It is the most secure arrangement for me to safeguard it.”

Aliya reiterated the righteousness of her actions in her heart.

”However, those greedy and vengeful Evil Dragons may only think narrowly, convinced that I undermined their interests.”

”They named me specifically, inviting me to visit the kingdom after many years.”

”The intention behind this invitation is likely malicious, wanting to force me to return the Hall of Heroes, or perhaps there are even deeper ill intentions.”

She calmly analyzed the situation, feeling her speculations were reasonable.

At this moment, three choices lay before her.

The first, avoid meeting.

With her strong fortune attribute, as long as she chooses to avoid, the Red Iron Dragon Emperor might not even get a glimpse of her.

The second, attempt to turn hostility into friendship.

Proactively returning the Hall of Heroes, along with sufficient compensation and a sincere apology, might quell their anger, resolving the grievances.

The third, eradicate future trouble completely.

Taking advantage of the Red Iron Dragon Emperor’s lack of overwhelming growth, act swiftly and decisively to eliminate him.

Frankly speaking, Aliya, the Messenger of Good Fortune, deep down wasn’t afraid of the current Red Iron Dragon.

No matter how strong he becomes, it’s but a few years into the Legendary Realm, and the foundation of his kingdom isn’t robust. If the emperor dies, the kingdom will immediately disintegrate.

Moreover, over the years, she has traversed the world, accumulating numerous Legendary Artifacts.

Among Legendary level peers, barely anyone exceeds her in endowment, coupled with her high level, her specialized Divine Art path isn’t weak in combat. There is really no reason to fear a Level 21 Evil Dragon of the Legendary Realm.

”Lady Aliya, you seem to have some concerns?”

The nearby Elf Lord, observant, noticed her momentary distraction and absent-mindedness, and thus gently inquired.

”Indeed, I’ve encountered some bothersome minor issues.”

The Messenger of Good Fortune came back to her senses and looked toward the experienced Elf Lord, seeking guidance, ”With your wisdom, how would you usually deal with a potential opponent that hasn’t truly grown but might pose danger in the future?”

The Elf Lord, upon hearing, thoughtfully considered for a moment.

Soon, a smile appeared on his handsome face as he slowly said:

”If it’s not an irreconcilable deep hatred, then making reasonable sacrifices to try to win over the other side, turning a potential enemy into a friend, is a commendable choice.”

”More friends mean fewer enemies.”

He paused, his tone still calm, ”Of course, our Elf Race has long lifespans, having witnessed many rises and falls.”

”Thus, in certain situations, we also understand the importance of combatting danger in its nascent stage, even if it involves taking on some risks.”

This Elf Lord has lived close to a thousand years, powerful and knowledgeable.

Moreover, he is a Lord of the Nausier Empire, holding high status and authority.

For the young Messenger of Good Fortune, the Elf Lord’s advice holds great reference value.

”Thank you, your words have enlightened me greatly.”

The Messenger of Good Fortune’s eyes glowed, deep in thought.

Several days later, the Messenger of Good Fortune bid farewell to the Elf Lord and his kin and embarked on her journey away from the Orotala Continent, setting out towards the long-separated Atlantia Continent.
