Chapter 176: Chapter 152: The Silver Dragon Family Takes Action, the Elf Dragon Race’s Shock

Meanwhile.

After half a day of swift travel, Silver Dragon Edie and Angelina finally rushed back to their fiefdom.

The Silver Dragon Lambert Family was one of the two great Dragon Noble families of the Dawn Empire.

Their domain was a fiefdom comparable in size to a frontier Kingdom of the Human Race.

Their ancestors had held the Empire-recognized title of Marquis.

But that was a long, long time ago.

As for now, within the Dawn Empire, the Lambert Family only held the hereditary title of Duke.

Although the Silver Dragon Lambert Family currently had only one hereditary Duke, their fiefdom remained largely unchanged and was directly subordinate to the Dawn Empire.

The current Duke of the Lambert Family was Marcus Lambert.

He was Angelina’s older brother.

He was over a hundred years older than Angelina and had only just barely reached Tier Nine. However, it was clear that as the ducal heir, Marcus was competent.

At the very least, under his leadership, the entire Lambert Family was relatively harmonious.

Nevertheless, the Lambert Family of today was, on the whole, much weaker than it had been in ancient times.

This was because the entire Lambert Family now had only five Tier Nine members.

Two of them were at Tier Nine Peak.

One was Angelina, and the other was Beideng, the uncle of Angelina’s generation.

As for the other three Tier Nine members, besides Angelina’s brother, one was another uncle from the previous generation, and the other was the maternal aunt of Angelina and her siblings.

Below Tier Nine, there were slightly more at Tier Eight.

There were thirteen in total.

Including these Tier Eight members, the entire Silver Dragon Race family barely managed to form the traditional structure of a Dragon Descendant Clan: one Patriarch and twelve Elders.

Among the generation below Angelina’s, the strongest was only at Tier Seven. Overall, their situation was tenuous.

Among the five great Dragon Noble families of the present day, the Silver Dragon Lambert Family was not the best.

But they were in the upper-middle ranks.

Moreover, the Lambert Family also had a Saint Tier Sub-dragon.

This made them considerably stronger than at least three of the other Dragon Noble families.

Their overall strength was second only to the Thunder Dragon Adams Family.

Ordinarily, the twelve Elders of the Lambert Family were assigned to twelve different regions across the Dragon Descendant Clan’s territory, responsible for guarding the entire domain.

But whenever the Patriarch summoned them, these Elders would all return to the ancestral family lands for a council meeting.

And so, on the third day after Silver Dragon Edie and Angelina returned to the family,

the entire Lambert Family held its decennial Elder council meeting ahead of schedule—a rare occurrence.

These family Elders hurried over, filled with questions.

They then hurried away, reeling from shock.

In short, not a single one was left behind.

They all took their retinues and set out for different destinations.

Some went to the other four great Dragon Noble families, others to the Beastman Empire, and some even to the Elf Empire and the Sea Race.

In a state of extreme excitement, they all tried to act with the utmost discretion.

In essence, each began to strive to make the Lambert Family great again.

As for Angelina,

she was put in charge of contacting the Sub-dragons and Dragon Descendants of the Elf Empire.

Angelina and Silver Dragon Edie, traveling as a pair, finally arrived at the Elves’ open border city on the northern part of the continent after about five days.

This city was mainly used for trade between the Human Race, Beastmen, and Elves—a typical trading hub.

Here, Angelina disguised herself as an ordinary human and entered the city.

Finally, in a trade bazaar, she successfully made contact with an Elf of the Dragon Descendants.

In the Elf Empire,

the Elf Dragon Race was a unique existence.

They were primarily vassals of the Elf Royal Court, yet they also existed independently.

They were one and the same branch as the Sub-dragon Species known as Elf Dragons, and they exclusively handled all matters concerning Sub-dragon Species and Dragon Descendants within the Elf Empire.

After learning of Angelina’s identity, the member of the Elf Dragon Race

did not dare to be negligent.

He immediately reported the news to the Dragon Descendant Elders within the Elf Empire.

Ultimately, after a discreet exchange, Angelina was disguised by the Elf Dragon Race and sent into the depths of the Elf Forest.

As for Silver Dragon Edie, she remained at the border city, awaiting Angelina’s return.

「Three days later.」

Angelina finally arrived at the largest settlement of the Elf Dragon Race’s Royal Court.

This was a verdant forest realm.

Ancient, towering trees were everywhere, too numerous to count.

The treehouses of the Elf Dragon Race were built upon these towering ancient trees, scattered in a picturesque arrangement that gave them a unique charm.

Of course, Angelina was not led into any of the treehouses.

She was guided by the Elf Dragon Race to a sea of brilliant flowers surrounded by the forest.

The sea of flowers bloomed year-round in a hilly expanse.

As far as the eye could see, the area was not only vast but also filled with a wonderfully pleasant atmosphere.

And situated in the center of the sea of flowers, Angelina saw it.

Atop the hills of the flower sea stood an immense, arched courtyard made of vines.

Crossing through the sea of flowers,

Angelina was finally led by two members of the Elf Dragon Race into the heart of this floral expanse.

She also entered the immense vine courtyard atop the hills.

And the very moment Angelina stepped into this courtyard,

she saw them.

Within, visible even from a distance, three Sub-dragons stood in the center of the flowers.

And below these three enormous Sub-dragons, more than ten Elders of the Elf Dragon Race were gathered.

The auras of these three Sub-dragons were powerful.

If Angelina was not mistaken,

all three were Saint Tier Sub-dragons.

Two of the Saint Tier Sub-dragons were Elf Dragons, while the other was a Green Dragon.

Surrounding the three Sub-dragons, and also around the vast vine courtyard, were more than ten smaller Elf Dragons and Green Dragons, resting in nests of vines.

The moment Angelina appeared, all eyes were instantly drawn to her.

Angelina was not affected by their silent gazes.

She walked forward on her own, step by step, toward the Sub-dragons.

As she drew closer,

Angelina realized that there were actually four Saint Tier beings in the courtyard.

Because in addition to the three Saint Tier Sub-dragons, there was also a Saint Tier being among the Elf Dragon Race.

The Elf Empire had four Saint Tier Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants in total.

This was not difficult to understand.

After all, each of the Three Great Empires of the Human Race currently had two Saint Tier Sub-dragons and human Dragon Descendants.

When Angelina finally stood before these four Saint Tier beings of Dragon Species and Dragon Descendant blood, she immediately offered her respects:

"Angelina of the Lambert Family, a human of the Silver Dragon Race, pays her respects to the Saints of the Elf Race."

The four Saints watched Angelina.

Finally, the lead Elf Dragon in the center was the first to speak.

"What a rare sight."

"To think a day would come when you human Dragon Descendants would seek us out."

"Human of the Silver Dragon Race, you sent word that you had urgent business with us, business concerning the future of all Dragon Species on the continent. I trust this isn’t just a pretext to get close to us, is it?"

"I hope you haven’t come to persuade us on the matter of reparations for the war in the Eastern Realm. If you have, then you can go right back to where you came from."

The lead Elf Dragon’s voice was heavy with age, but its oppressive presence was still immense.

It looked down on Angelina, its eyes filled with deep hostility.

It was no wonder the Elf Dragon was like this.

After all, the Human Race and the Elves had clashed countless times from ancient days to the present.

The human Dragon Descendants and the Elf Dragon Race, in particular, had slaughtered each other on numerous occasions.

It was virtually impossible for there to be no animosity between the two sides.

It was only in the last three thousand years, after the gods fell silent, that the conflicts between the various Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants on the continent had eased, somewhat reducing the hostility between them.

Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for someone like Angelina to get an audience with the Elf Dragons.

Faced with the Elf Dragon’s hostile tone,

Angelina remained composed, neither servile nor overbearing, and simply met its gaze calmly.

Then, she spoke directly:

"My purpose in coming here is, of course, not related to the Eastern Realm war, which has already been settled."

"On this point, I ask the Saints to rest assured."

Facing the Saint Tier Dragon Species, Angelina showed no fear, which, to their surprise, piqued the interest of the four Saint Tier beings before her.

The Green Dragon among them even chuckled.

"Oh? So it seems you really have come for the future of all Dragon Species on the continent?"

"Haha, how interesting. To be able to sway the future of all Dragon Species on the continent... I imagine nothing short of the return of the Dragon Race could be described in such terms, right?"

"Of course, if you’re here to talk about how the other races are growing more guarded or even hostile toward Dragon Species, I suppose that counts for something. But that doesn’t apply here in the Elf Empire."

"So, human Dragon Descendant, tell us. Which of these two scenarios have you come to speak of?"

The Green Dragon’s gaze was rather playful.

Clearly, it didn’t believe in any talk of the Dragon Race returning.

As for the current attitude of the other continental races toward Dragon Species, they were naturally aware of it. But here in the Elf Empire, among a long-lived race that was in harmony with nature, these Sub-dragons had not felt any discriminatory treatment.

Therefore, if Angelina’s business was something similar to what Amos and the Red Dragon had encountered, these four Saint Tier Dragon Species would certainly ignore her.

Unfortunately for the Green Dragon, it had clearly miscalculated.

Because the most impossible thing had indeed happened.

Thus, facing the Green Dragon, Angelina simply said coolly:

"It is just as Your Holiness the Saint has said."

"I imagine that, aside from the return of the Dragon Race, there is nothing else that could be said to sway the future of all Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants on the continent."

"Therefore, I ask the Saints to bear witness."

"I, Angelina, on behalf of the great His Highness Nigredo, convey the sacred decree of the Dragon Race to you, the Saints."

"If there are any among you who still believe in the Dragon Race Code, you must enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range within three months to have an audience with His Highness. At that time, all will be revealed."

"Of course, it matters not if you have not upheld the Dragon Race Code in the past. After all, the return of the Dragon Race is paramount, and His Highness will grant you the same leniency he has granted me."

Under the incredulous, wide-eyed stares of the four Saint Tier Dragon Species, Angelina quickly took out a Memory Crystal.

After infusing it with Magic Power, the image of Lince was soon projected from it!

The projection of a terrifying Giant Dragon materialized.

It stood right before the eyes of the four Saint Tier Dragon Species.

The projection seemed to be looking down upon the four Saint Tier beings, and a calm voice issued from its mouth:

"When this image appears across the continent, I trust my emissaries are dutifully carrying out their tasks."

"As for you... I suppose this is the final chance I am giving to all the Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants of this continent."

"Regardless of who you are, I grant you only three months. Seize this opportunity, because you have no other choice."

"I am here. As long as you have even a shred of belonging to the Dragon Race, as long as you are willing to return to its fold, then come. Here, you will learn the whole truth."

"I, Nigredo, will lead you to restore the glory of the entire Dragon Race."

The recording was short; the projected Giant Dragon only said that much.

But at this very moment, the scene displayed by the projection exploded in the hearts of the four Saint Tier Dragon Species like a colossal bomb.
