Chapter 116: A Terrifying Ambition

Chapter 116: A Terrifying Ambition

This guy was full of life, which did surprise Louis a bit.

Although he had held back, not directly channeling all his Strength into Alon’s head to explode it, but instead using a clever force to blast him into the ceiling. However, he had used a move from the Celestial Arms. Even holding back, it was much heavier than a Fire Dragon’s swat.

He thought this guy would be lying down for a few weeks, but surprisingly, after being treated by Stogg’s Wizards, he could stand up.

Just as he was about to chat with this guy, after hearing Alon’s words, Louis’s face darkened, and he directly turned around and sat down.

The others hadn’t taken their seats yet; the four Mages seemed to have run into acquaintances in a distant meeting hall, so they excused themselves and went over.

When Helen, Kate, and the little Yordles sat down, they slowly started eating during their casual chat.

Helen and the little Yordles looked at the sumptuous dinner with shining eyes. They seemed to think the chef’s skills were very good.

After peeling some shrimp for Helen for a while, Louis started talking with Archie. Kate, meanwhile, took care of one person here and another there.

“Louis, my Alon has literally hammered a Fire Dragon to death! Then, taking that Fire Dragon’s place, he defeated 14 adventure groups,” Archie couldn’t help but get excited, hopping onto the table as he spoke to everyone. “He has won the championship for 15 terms! He’s a legend of the Coliseum!”

Saying this, Archie snapped his fingers. Two pure-white Dragon Clan maidens quickly set up a series of huge photos one by one.

In the photos, Alon wore an extremely cool blood-red suit of armor, held two giant battle-axes in his hands, was pierced with numerous blades and spears, stood atop a pile of corpses, and roared at the sky.

The eyes behind the visor were as red as burning flames.

One could see that among the pile of corpses were many Wizards. Altogether, there were about a hundred people!

But no one managed to slay this Mr. Alon.

Louis nodded. He could see that suit of armor was definitely not ordinary. It could be considered a rare treasure. Alon wearing that was enough to make a Wizard of Harold’s level twitch in fear, unwilling to fight such a nearly magic-immune monster.

And for them, compared to Alon wearing that armor, a Fire Dragon unable to wear such armor was actually easier to deal with.

In the next few photos, everyone also saw scenes of Alon versus the Fire Dragon.

In those photos, Alon held two war hammers, leaped towards the sky to meet the massive Fire Dragon’s head head-on—the result was the Fire Dragon being hammered to death.

Helen blinked as she looked at the photo, suddenly feeling a bit scared—remembering the Fire Dragon that was eaten at the academy. That matter was still a mystery. According to the Night Watchmen, many Fire Dragons in the Dragon District were terrified that day, and Mr. Brockhol, the great dragon, cursed loudly—He said that ugly monster was almost as long as Him.

Mr. Brockhol was over eighty meters long! He was a true adult dragon, capable of swallowing a Fire Dragon in one bite!

That thing seemed to be able to as well…

It was said that hideous monster even took several hits of Dragon Breath from Brockhol. Although that monster ultimately didn’t defeat Mr. Brockhol and was driven away, after taking so many hits, it merely yelled a few times in pain, unscathed. It even warned Mr. Brockhol, telling Him not to meddle, or else it would kill Him later…

It was said Mr. Brockhol was furious that day. To this day, He still vows to tear it apart to protect the academy’s peace.

However, He has never been able to find that big monster.

Helen stared at the photo, blinking as she fell into recollection, while Kate was wide-eyed.

[Is this an oil painting? That dragon is painted so realistically!]

[How, how is it still moving? What kind of painting is this? How does it move?]

Many Magicians had returned by now, all looking at those photos with admiration. They were somewhat knowledgeable. They knew that over a decade ago, many seniors of the Mage Association often dealt with such creatures.

But the Magicians vanished, and these magical creatures disappeared too. They wondered if they would ever get to see such things in their lifetime—and Mermaids.

“Once on the sea, Alon even led the sailors to help me repel a Sea Serpent! If he leads a team of Wizards, he can challenge a real giant dragon!” Archie took a puff from his cigar, somewhat melancholic. “But this time’s opponent… he probably has no hope of winning.”

[As expected, anything involving Barriff is no small matter…]

[A and B are probably not so easy to choose.]

“After all, he cannot ride the ‘Son of Lant’,” Archie said with a sigh. “And the Son of Lant might not be able to hammer that thing either.”

Louis raised an eyebrow. “What exactly is this ‘Mr. Gundam’?”

“Mr. Gundam?” Archie shook his head. “A big fellow who shouldn’t have entered the arena for a performance.”

Archie snapped his fingers, sealing the sound of their conversation to prevent others from hearing—clearly, this Goblin gentleman was also a highly skilled Wizard in Magic. When casting spells, he didn’t even need Magic Spells or a Wand.

After looking around, Archie first explained the whole story.

“I think Mr. Jerry should have told you about the King’s birthday banquet. At the very beginning, no one knew the Ministry of Magic would be involved. At that time, Her Majesty Delphinia made a bet with me, saying she would put on a show for His Majesty the King’s birthday—do you think I’m afraid of her?”

“The Muggle World wouldn’t release any Magical Creatures. My champion sweetheart Alon is invincible! Moreover…”

“Then I got utterly tricked!” Archie swore angrily. “This is a bet between the King and the Ministry of Magic! Not only did they find that terrifying ‘Two-Headed Gronn’, but there were also hundreds of Wizards secretly helping the Gronn cheat!”

“So, the Witch Queen is betting on the Wizards winning, and I’m betting on the Muggles winning—this time, the Muggles are doomed to lose! With so many Wizards helping that terrifying Dragon Slayer Gundam—forget the Son of Lant, even if you put a giant dragon in that arena, it would be finished!”

Hearing this, Louis was a bit confused. “Isn’t this Delphinia a Reformist? Why would she bet on the Wizards winning?”

“Betting on both sides!” Archie said. “Whoever wins, she doesn’t lose!”

Louis fell into deep thought.

Perhaps the Witch Queen was neither a Reformist, nor a conservative.

And she certainly wasn’t as simple as just betting on both sides—that was merely a disguise she created for herself.

Her real hope was for the Wizards to win, so that certain high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic could enter the Parliament Building. Enter the sight of Muggle society.

Then, when the time was right, she would stage a clean sweep?

Wasn’t she afraid of starting a war?

What did she really want?

Why did she have such ambition and confidence? Could it be because she had already made a deal with a certain Dragon Clan?

And how was this matter related to the ‘Red Queen’ mentioned in the Storybook?

According to the Storybook previously, the Red Queen once killed the Dark Lord—meaning she killed Frankischko!

The Magic Mirror had broken a total of six times.
