Chapter 988: Melancholy

Cervantes sat on a rooftop and looked at the city with a wistful expression.

The lights are bright, and the lights illuminate every dark place in the city, and it is a rare 'city that never sleeps' in this era.

The night market is still bustling, people come and go, the lights are bright, and the grand scene of people's night tour is not lively.

Laughter echoed across the land, but it could not overshadow the loss and melancholy in Cervantes's heart.

It was already past dinner time, but instead of returning home, he sat on the roof of a house, not at all like him.

Because of the things he has experienced, he has gradually integrated into this society, and the black dragon, who is no longer a wanderer, has gradually developed some emotions that should not belong to the 'dragon'.

He suddenly found that he had a deep attachment to the city, and even to the principality, just as his empty heart was slowly filled after meeting Serena, and now he seems to have similar feelings for the principality.

Cervantes was not frightened by this, maybe a dragon should be free and free of concerns, but even if there is, what can be done?

He was originally a freak, and he was born very different from other dragons, if he was like other colored dragons, when they met Serena, they would either choose to play with this poor 'little bug' on a whim, and eat or kill it when they got tired of playing, or they would simply ignore it, and like him, not only picked up the little girl back into their nest, but also took care of her little by little to grow up.

Maybe it's related to past experiences, or maybe it's related to the natural bloodline...... But whatever, he didn't care about this kind of thing for a long time anyway.

After listening to the maid's words, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and tension - it was the first time that he had felt this feeling not because of himself, but because of something else.

Thera didn't need him to worry, but more often than not, Thera was worried about him, so for a while, he was a little confused.

From this incident, it can be known that the Arcane Empire has not returned not because they have no idea about the world of Assatom, but because it has not yet come to the time when they choose to return.

If the Arcane Empire were to return here, there would be another war, and at that time, every part of the continent would be caught up in the flames.

This country founded by Thera and him, and supported and raised, will also be involved in the war, but the strength of the Arcane Empire is unimaginable to ordinary people, even if the current Principality of the Screaming Wind is so powerful, but when facing the Arcane Empire, it is only a mantis arm to block the car.

At this time, he was not only deeply confused, but even a little anxious...... To sum it up in one sentence, 'He's shut up'!

"I said, why don't you come home for dinner......"

There was a soft voice in his ears, and even if he didn't turn his head to look, he could tell that the owner of this voice was Sera.

The hand was raised. Cervantes' ears twitched, and he did as the maid had said, and then he felt a warm, petite body burrow into his bosom.

He looked down slightly, but he met Serena's gentle blue eyes.

I saw her raise her lips and smile, and said softly: "It's too dirty here, borrow your arms and sit for a while." ”

Then I saw her turn her head to look at the city.

"It's so beautiful...... saw her eyelashes curled up and smiled, "This is the city that I and you have built together, and I am intoxicated when I look at this beautiful scenery...... Seth, what about you?"

"I ......," Cervantes' mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.

His heart is still confused, because he sees the future, so he is confused!

He didn't want that future, but that future would come, and maybe the country would be destroyed by that war.

"Do you want to protect this beauty?" the maid chuckled softly in his ear again, "like you've been doing it all along......

"Of course, but what can a legendary dragon do in the face of that behemoth of the Arcane Empire?" Cervantes sighed, "In that kind of war, a legend can't protect a country at all. ”

"But you are not the only legend in this country, we will always guard this place, so what are you worried about?" the maid smiled, as if she was persuading the black dragon, as if she was persuading herself......

"I'm worried that this place will be in ruins, that this place will come to naught, that it will all be shattered like a bubble and ......that it will disappear," Cervantes muttered, looking ahead.

As a responsible dragon, he never shies away from his heart, he can say whatever he wants, and he will not shy away from these things because of shyness and shame.

He likes it here, so he can say it calmly, and usually he doesn't say it, but no one else asks.

They are not the only ones who have improved over time, but so has the Arcane Empire, which has long since found a way to continue to grow, much better than the continent of Slo Mendes, which has been wandering in ignorance and ignorance for hundreds of years.

The Arcane Empire, far away in the astral plane, may have developed into a force even more powerful than it was at the beginning, and it has been thinking about this world for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it returns here.

Recently, there has been a growing number of omens that indicate the imminent return of the Arcane Empire.

If it weren't for the return of the Arcane Empire, the Seal of the Gods would not have been destroyed at all, the towers on the Eagle Plateau would not have been summoned at all, and the central volcano of the Southern Continent would not have been detonated at all......

The undercurrent has been surging, but it is not known how many people know about these things, and what is behind the scenes, and what is deeper.

The aristocracy as rulers are still immersed in drunken dreams and death, blind to the impending crisis, and they are disqualified as 'rulers', but their position is unshakable.

"There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and in the face of the Arcane Empire, we are not without a chance of victory!" the maid leaned into Cervantes's arms and smiled sweetly, "As long as the magic technology can be developed, as long as the nobles can lose their status, then everything is easy to say!"

Hearing this, Cervantes gave her a strange look, "Can you do it?"

"Isn't that what we're doing now?" the maid smiled and patted Cervantes on the shoulder, then smiled, "Let's go, let's go home...... There is nothing to worry about about these things. ”

"As long as we follow the steps, step by step, time is on our side!" Serena's eyes lit up, and her confident demeanor added a bit of glamour, "You have to be confident that what we are doing is the right thing, and you know that our plan is almost the last step!"

Cervantes pursed his lips, "Is it too late? And are you sure that the Eye of All or the Dragon Hunters won't cause trouble?"

"They don't have that leisure anymore!" the maid pursed.

Hearing this, Cervantes reacted immediately.

If nothing else, the omniscient eye has received the 'answer', so more thoughts and energy will be put in that direction.

At such a time, if they want to do something, the omniscient eye will not even have time to stop it, and when they do to stop it, it will be a done boat, and it is useless to do anything.

At this time, the maid smiled mysteriously and said, "Wait, in another two or three days, you will know when the time comes......"

Then he paused slightly, smiled and whispered into Cervantes' ear: "What 'reward' do you want tonight?"

The black dragon was in awe.
