Chapter 172 The Emperor Who Crosses the World Line
167 AD, Earth, Gaul.
Somewhere in the woods.
"Human, end it. I admit your power. I can let the descendant of the divine blood go, but you have to agree to one of my conditions."
After the fierce battle, the huge behemoth finally lowered its head. It flew in the sky, its spread wings almost blocked the sky, and only cast a deep shadow on the knight.
The knight raised his head, but remained silent in the face of the giant beast that was several stories high.
There were many wounds on his body, and there were many traces of blood and flames, but anyone could see that compared to the dragon that was nearly a hundred times his size, the knight really managed to fight head-on.
"Tell me, dragon, what are the conditions."
The knight's hoarse voice sounded.
"You want to marry my daughter."
The giant dragon said with its vertical golden dragon eyes overlooking the knight beneath him.
The knight's face was shrouded in the helmet, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but it was obvious that the knight was silent for a while, and then asked.
"Why."
"Human, you are very powerful. You are also the most powerful among all humans. I am old and will die soon, but my daughter is still young and she needs protection. You are very suitable."
The dragon's reason is straightforward.
But the knight obviously disagreed.
"I'm a human, not a dragon. We can't be together."
The dragon did not answer, but gently raised its dragon wings, timidly revealing a girl from under the fleshy dragon wings. The girl looked eleven or twelve years old, with small sharp horns on her head. She looked very timid.
, hiding behind the dragon's wings, not daring to come out completely, only daring to secretly look at the knight in front of him.
"For dragons, body change is not difficult."
The knight was silent, holding back a sentence.
"She's too young."
"My daughter is growing up very fast, and I will be able to give birth to a child with you in a few years."
The dragon replied lightly.
"I already have someone I love."
"It doesn't matter, I know it's normal for powerful individuals among you humans to have multiple partners."
"We just got to know each other."
"You have enough time to get to know each other."
"..."
The knight tried to retort, but the dragon calmly resolved them one by one.
In the end, the knight who was not good at words fell silent and had to nod in agreement.
But at the end, facing the knight's extended hand, the girl was hesitant, looking hesitantly at the knight and then at the giant dragon beside her.
【Father, don’t you want me anymore?】
From the girl's mouth, dragon language was spoken that humans could not understand.
[No, my father is just going to keep company with his ancestors.]
The giant dragon lowered his head and roared softly, comforting his daughter.
There was inexplicable sadness in the golden dragon eyes.
[My daughter, dragons have been abandoned by this world. This world is no longer suitable for dragons to survive. From now on, you will be with this human being and become his wife. You and your descendants will be like ordinary humans.
Ordinary birth, old age, illness and death, experience a life that neither my father nor my ancestors have ever experienced.】
The huge dragon head gently touched the girl's forehead, and the two sharp corners on her forehead disappeared.
From the appearance, she is just an ordinary human girl, and no one would think of this girl's special identity.
[My daughter, the last dragon in the world, live on, live hard, forget your identity as a dragon, maybe this is the best ending...]
But perhaps even the giant dragon himself was unaware of the glimmer of hope deep in his heart.
As long as it can continue, maybe... maybe one day, the dragon's wings can be revealed under the sky again...
Taking a deep look at the girl in front of him, the dragon spread its wings. The girl lost her balance and fell, but was caught by the knight with quick eyes and hands. The dragon spread its wings, fanning the strong wind, and flew deeper into the forest sea, and finally disappeared.
not see.
The wind stopped and the dust settled. Except for the two people who witnessed all this, it seemed as if the giant dragon was just a dream.
When the knight found the sleeping descendant of the divine blood in the dragon's lair, the three of them rode away together on a horse. Long after they had gone far, a huge roar suddenly came from the direction of Lin Hai.
There was sadness in that roar.
…
At the same time, there was a young man in the distance watching all this silently, and beside him stood an old man wearing a burqa.
"Husoluan, do you know what happened next?"
The young man spoke.
The old man bent down to the young man and said humbly.
"Your Majesty, I am stupid."
The young man raised his head, revealing a young face, with slender eyebrows, dark pupils, and thin lips. He was clearly a rare and beautiful man in the world.
He looked at the sky, his eyes seemed to be looking at something extremely far away, not just a space barrier, but something even more distant.
Looking at the extremely distant place, the young man said.
"Husoluan, after that, the knight married the descendant of the divine blood and the descendant of the dragon, and the children they gave birth to swore an oath to each other. The descendants will protect each other from generation to generation, and share the honor and disgrace in life and death."
"The descendants of the descendants of the divine blood were later called the Holy Grail, and the descendants of the dragon descendants were called the Holy Grail Knights. Finally, in the year 2004 of the Earth calendar, the seal was opened, the Holy Grail was captured, and the Holy Grail Knight died..."
"Husoluan, I have tried to change everything. I have been to Hana's cross, to Joan of Arc's burning rack, to the snake city under the sea, to the base on the moon... throughout human history, I
It goes back and forth, but in vain, as the Frenchman said, no one wakes it up, but it wants to wake up."
"Just like gravity, no matter how water flows on the ground, it will flow downwards in the end. The final destination is the same. This is fate..."
As he said that, the young man glanced at the old man.
"Husoluan, there is no use in escaping. Face it squarely, defeat it, and defeat this inevitable battle of fate. Otherwise, this world line will also lead to the same fate."
The young man's pupils were like shining stars. In front of them, no darkness could escape. Under this powerful power, the old man couldn't help lowering his body.
"Your Majesty, I...I am incompetent."
The young man looked at him and finally shook his head silently.
"Husoluan, what I am expecting...is not this answer. Please step back, Husoluan."
The old man, who had long been unable to bear the heavy pressure, seemed to be amnesty and disappeared where he was.
The young man turned his head and looked at the three people and one horse disappearing on the horizon.
"Failure is not terrible, but Husoluan, what I look forward to is your courage to fight again after failure."
"Believe, believe in yourself, believe in your own courage and wisdom, and fight with all your strength. Only in this way can the dazzling brilliance hope to defeat the beast and defeat this fateful duel. If you are not willing to believe in yourself, even if
If I go, I will still fail."
The young people silently stared at the future.
In that future, decades later, he still could not let go, and chose to go to the time and space of 20763 in the galactic calendar, and then fought the monster and died.
…
Galactic calendar year 2049, around the world.
"The emperor has not agreed to our plan, do we still want to implement it?"
"Besides this plan, what else can we do? There are only 548 years left, and we don't have much time left."
"That's 30 billion humans around the world..."
"Courage? What can we do to fight that monster? What can courage do? Death?"
"At this point, we have no way out and can only do this."
A group of psionic masters were discussing in low voices. The psionic masters argued and argued with each other, but after a long time, the opinions were unified.
As a result, a secret plan called "Tinder" was officially implemented.
