Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 241 - 146: Projection of Myth

Li Ang thought to himself, I'm still a transmigrator, and I won't have faith or a firm belief in the world's structure. Whatever the truth of this world is, I won't be surprised.

"I'm just speaking from the perspective of the scholars of Thousand Tower City because, when you talk about this, my first reaction is how they would evaluate it. What I just said is probably what they would say."

"What about you personally?"

Farin's gaze was intense, awaiting Li Ang's opinion, as if it was very important.

"I am willing to believe."

Having received Li Ang's answer, Farin continued her narration.

Presently, various high-level magic powers, such as the pure magic power—Ether exclusive to Mistrem Academy of Thousand Tower City, and Akenna Academy's Arcane Energy, which optimizes efficacy by incorporating micro arrays, essentially all strive to return to pure magic power through different means.

"The Magic Power Dimension is dangerous and complicated, with powerful entities from all sides, but the Dragon Ancestor is the strongest monster rooted in Nebis."

Li Ang was already familiar with the witch speaking statements filled with information, so he just asked about the main point: "What exactly is the Dragon Ancestor, do you know?"

"I know a few things, since it is the progenitor of all dragons in the world, let me tell you about the classification of dragons."

Everyone knows a little about the various forms of dragons, for example, they have all seen Farin's Blazing Winged Dragon, the four-legged, two-winged Flam Demon Dragon she summoned, the Two-legged Flying Dragon, and also Salamander's eggs.

"Flying Dragon, with two legs and two wings totaling four limbs, is the most common dragon form.

"True Dragon, with four legs and two wings totaling six limbs, is considered the most standard dragon form.

"The above two are descendants of the twin progeny of the black and crimson Dragon Ancestor, constantly battling for each other's strength, eternally in conflict over countless ages.

"Their strength waxes and wanes; you may think the former type of dragon is weaker, indeed it is weaker in the present reality, classified as Sub-dragon, simply because currently, the Black Dragon is at a disadvantage, hence these dragons lack the Dragon Factor.

"When the Crimson Dragon is weaker, its descendants occasionally lose their wings, becoming the most common wingless four-legged Sub-dragon."

After Farin finished speaking, Dorothy exclaimed: "I feel like I'm listening to a mythological story." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Mythology is a reflection of reality."

Farin said no more, leaving just a brief remark before continuing to speak.

"Information about the Dragon Ancestor mostly comes from the records of the Bailong Civilization. They too classified different branches based on the conditions of the Dragon Ancestor.

"Elf Dragon, or Fairy Dragon. They are small in stature, with butterfly wings or other insect-like wings on their backs. Many people think these creatures are fictional, but actually, what they think of as 'Forest Fairy' and many fairies are manifestations of these elusive, mischievous little dragons. And these two are also descendants of Fairy Dragons and Intelligent Races."

Farin revealed the truth of an astonishing folk tale.

"The progenitor of the Elf Dragons, Freyia, resides above the Spring of Magic, drinking the rising pure magic dew, being the most cunning and elusive entity among the Dragon Ancestors, never to be allied with. Of course, it's possible mortals have not had contact with it for millennia.

"The progenitor of Flying Snakes and Feathered Serpents, Kuizal, hovers around the Magic Pillar emitted by the Spring of Magic. Its descendants are free and unrestrained, masters of the storm, often worshipped as deities in various civilizations. Among all the Dragon Ancestors, it is the least evil."

"Then who is the most evil?" ALulu asked while her mouth was full of pastries offered by attendants during Farin's speech, but she gradually mastered the ability to articulate accurately even with her mouth full.

"That would be the progenitor of the Wyrm Dragon, occupying the center of the spring, intending to swallow the entire Magic Source, King of Ten Thousand Scorpions Nidhogg.

"Because its power is exceedingly evil, even the Bailong Sect destroyed the information about it, only the most wicked believers among them would worship this Poison Dragon.

"You all might have heard of the story of the Evil Dragon Fafnir guarding gold, this dragon is transformed from the King of the now extinct intelligent Dwarf race. They perished due to their greed, it's unclear whether it was greed that led to the belief in the Poison Dragon or if contact with the Poison Dragon caused the race to be devoured.

"If you encounter dragons with only two arms and other parts resembling snakes, you must be exceedingly cautious. Besides having highly poisonous venom, they are also adept at devouring magic power. Many powerhouses have fallen to them because during battle, their magic power was eaten, rendering them no different than mortals in an instant."

Farin sighed.

"Lastly, Leviathan, the Sea Serpent Ancestor, long dormant, with a sparse population, uncertain if it still exists. According to legend, even the power in one of its scales could create whirlpools that swallow ships.

"Some places still have remnants of the belief in Leviathan, but since the Dragon Ancestor does not respond, believers' lives have become entirely secular, and the Sea Serpent faith is merely a cultural aspect now."

After Farin finished speaking, everyone took a while to digest what they had heard.

And Elaphia brought forth the main course to the table.

Her nickname in the Flame Corps is Lady, and she is indeed a real lady. These dishes are rarely seen even in the Holy City.

"Quickly taste it, it's not something you can eat regularly." Li Ang said.

Dorothy was rather reserved, deliberately waiting for Zoe and ALulu to make a move.

The kitten originally reached out intending to grab, but keenly noticed Dorothy's gaze and glared at her without taking action.

Andasu looked at Li Ang, seeming to have some master-servant consciousness, wanting to wait for him to use the cutlery first.

However, with this hesitation, a dish was already devoured by ALulu.

"Ah!" Xiaoniu's eyes immediately lit up: "Such fresh broth."

Elaphia looked a bit dumbfounded.

That mountain delicacy should be savored thoroughly, swallowing it in one go would feel too overwhelmingly flavorful, right? But how did that child manage to eat it all?

As a Tier Nine Powerhouse, she could watch ALulu's movements clearly, but she never imagined anyone could eat that fast so didn't pay attention, hence it was indeed a blink of an eye before she realized a dish had disappeared.

Then the finely crafted dishes of shrimp, crab, beef, and lamb also vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Ma-may I have more?" ALulu finished all her food, looked at everyone, a bit embarrassed.

"May I?" Li Ang asked.

"Certainly."

Elaphia straightened her chest: "I'm not such a petty host; I intended to treat you with the best ingredients, not to mention serving more."

She spoke to the attendant beside her: "Provide through my private menu limitlessly until our guests tell us to stop."

The attendant nodded and left, Li Ang said: "Madam Councilor is truly generous."

Blondie Douding blushed and said nothing.

As all the dishes were served three times, Li Ang and the other young women finally tasted all the dishes, because their hands were a little slow, the remaining parts were gone.

They have become accustomed to dining with Xiaoniu, but Farin has not. She temporarily forgot to continue the dragon topic.

"Those were the Dragon Ancestors just now, then what about the other side?" Li Ang asked.

Farin paused and said, "I had a reason to mention the Dragon Ancestors first."

"The Dragon God that I believe in is their opposite."

The expression of the Dragon Witch became solemn.

"The Dragon Ancestors were born at the Magic Source, one of the focal points forming the world, because they are fragments of the Creator God's power.

"After creating the world, the Creator God Bahamut fell into slumber; the negative power emitted during creation gave birth to the Dragon Ancestors, while the positive power formed the Dragon God I worship and His five companions.

"They are the six pillars supporting the world, controlling the Four Major Elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, as well as harmonizing the Light and Dark Elements.

Farin exuded a divine aura: "I am the Deputy of the Fire Dragon God among them."

"The aim of the Bailong Sect's expansion is to allow the power of the Dragon Ancestors to exert more influence on the Material Dimension, letting them invade this world.

"And to maintain the balance, the Six Dragons will find suitable individuals to become Deputies, allowing them to suppress the Bailong Sect and uphold the world's balance."

The flame-like witch sighed: "Because of my background, I was once involved in a sacrificial ceremony of the Bailong Sect. At the moment of despair, I responded to a call, and the Fire Dragon God bestowed His power to save me. In return, I have been striving to destroy the Bailong Sect."

"However, due to various reasons, there is a vacancy among the Deputies of the Six Dragons. When you first arrived at this island, I noticed that this child has a peculiar power, although very weak, closely resembling the feeling given to me by the Six Dragon Gods.

"I provided her the path of cultivation for Dragon Summoner to see if she might have the potential to become a Deputy."

Zoe, who was gnawing on a piece of bone-in meat, looked up and saw the gaze of those around her focused on herself.

"Me?"
