----------------------
Standing on the cross was still the blonde dragon girl. Her unique golden vertical pupils and face were undoubtedly Dorothea.
The only difference was that Dorothea's clothes had changed. The dark purple coat had turned into light brown, and she wore a hat on her head that was the same color as the coat. Her black stockings had also turned into over-the-knee black stockings.
The gloves haven't changed much.
"Eh? Eh!! Why is Miss Dorothea there!!" Ellie looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Xia Yi is similar.
She really doubted whether she was seeing things.
because--
Dorothea's body was still lying among the flowers!
If the person who was just killed was Dorothea, then who is this person who looks exactly like Dorothea?
Is it her sister?
"Xia Lulu, you are bullying me. I obviously like that dress very much..." Dorothea's tone sounded very distressed.
Xia Lulu had a nonchalant expression on her face, as if she was used to it.
"Your Highness, what is going on? Could it be that Miss Dorothea has activated the Ghost Curse and is here to claim my life?!" Ellie couldn't help but feel a little scared. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Dorothea jumped down from the cross and saw Ellie's reaction, and became interested.
Pretending to be a vengeful ghost, he raised his hands, staggered, and shook his head.
"Even if you become a ghost... I won't let you go! Even if I die, I will take you with me!!" Dorothea deliberately made a scary expression.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I didn't do this, Miss Dorothea, don't look for me!!"
Ellie put her arms in front of her and screamed.
Dorothea was satisfied with Ellie's reaction and turned to look at Xia Yi.
"Xiao Xiayi, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't scare me, my holy sword is very effective against evil spirits!" Xia Yi raised the back of his hand seriously, "I have a holy sword, are you afraid of it?"
"Hahaha……"
Dorothea was really amused.
"Daughter, look carefully." Xia Lulu reminded.
After hearing the sound, Xia Yi finally realized that something was wrong.
The body lying on the ground did not bleed at all!
Under normal circumstances, after being pierced by an icicle like this, the dragon's blood would have flowed all over the ground and dyed the irises red.
But Dorothea's body just lay there quietly.
"No!! You are not a vengeful spirit, you are not dead!" Xia Yi reacted.
"How can a dead person die again?"
Dorothea stopped pretending and walked over, picked up her own body and examined it carefully.
"You're really ruthless. A lot of parts are broken... The core doesn't seem to be damaged. I'll fix it later and see if it can still be used. After all, it takes a lot of time to build one."
Through the wounds on the corpse, Xia Yi saw something strange inside the Golden Dragon girl's body. It was not broken flesh at all, but extremely complex parts. The joints on the flesh did not look like those of a living dragon at all.
The little princess' eyes widened.
Dorothea is not a dragon in the usual sense, but... a puppet!
She is a dragon made of puppets!
"Dorothea is a puppet. This is the body she created herself, whether it's the one I just broke or the one standing in front of us now," Xia Lulu explained. "Over the years, in Iris Valley, she has not only planted flowers, but also made countless bodies for herself. They should all be placed in her own grave. Each one is equivalent to her original body."
After hearing this, Xia Yi and Ai Li both found it incredible.
Is this still possible!
"She is indeed a dragon, and the last golden dragon. However, she has long since transformed herself into a puppet, and her body has been buried under the huge cross. She can be considered dead, but she doesn't really care about that. Dorothea has been using these puppets to carry out activities. Over the years, she has either slept in the tomb, planted flowers, or dealt with sudden intruders, transforming them into her toys."
Xia Lulu gave the final clue to solve all the mysteries.
Xia Yi finally understood.
Why does Dorothea say she is a dead person? Because the Iris Valley is her grave.
The golden dragon clan in the Dragon Kingdom has indeed become extinct, and the last golden dragon Dorothea has also died and was buried under the cross in the Purple Kite Valley.
Before she died, she transformed herself into a puppet and made countless spare bodies for herself.
Therefore Dorothea is unkillable.
For her, death is just a change of body.
Anyway, there are countless bodies.
"By the way, Dorothea can also activate the dragon's true form mode." Xia Lulu added.
"Hey, Xia Lulu, are you just going to spill my secret like that?" Dorothea was very unhappy. "Why do you keep talking about it? You never stop!"
"I just said it by the way. I didn't mean it in the first place," Xia Lulu chuckled. "If you had stopped earlier, I would have taken my daughter home and I wouldn't have to explain all this to her."
"Damn it, you're really good at making excuses. I think you did it on purpose. Ever since you awakened as the Dragon King, your temper has really gotten worse and worse."
Dorothea sighed.
If the doll breaks, I won't feel too bad about it, it's mainly because of the clothes.
She had to get a set of clothes, which was quite troublesome. Mainly, she couldn't leave the cross for too long or she would run out of energy.
"By the way, what's the world like outside now?" Dorothea asked.
"Not much has changed from before." Xia Lulu replied calmly.
"No one is attacking the dragon tribe?"
"No. The foreign races are still wary of the dragon race, but their attitudes have changed a lot, and they have begun to make small moves in secret."
"Haven't the outsiders been doing these things? They are just afraid of the power of the dragon clan and dare not take direct action."
"What's different from before is that foreigners used to worry about being discovered by the dragons, but now they don't panic even if they are discovered by the dragons. Maybe they are doing this on purpose for the Dragon Kingdom to see. Some time ago, there were even foreigners who came to provoke us."
"Hey~ Have the foreign races forgotten the horror of the dragon race? Why not learn from your brother who you killed yourself? Just pick a country and start a war of aggression to show the power of the dragon race~"
"Don't mention him. The dragon race doesn't need to do such a thankless task. Besides, the number of dragons in the Dragon Kingdom has been slowly increasing, okay?"
"I misjudged you. I thought you would mess up the Dragon Kingdom and ruin the history of the Dragon Clan in your hands, and become an eternal sinner. But, to my great disappointment, you are actually working hard. How can you make the Dragon Clan better and better?"
Xia Yi saw Xia Lulu talking to Dorothea.
This surprised Xia Yi a little.
The two people have indeed known each other for many years.
Even after such a fight just now, they can still calmly reminisce about the past.
This was the first time Xia Lulu had used this attitude towards other people.
She was a little curious about the origins of this Dorothea.
Something must have happened between the two of them in the past, right?
Xia Yi still remembered that Dorothea had mentioned before that Xia Lulu used to call her sister...
"By the way, how did you get a daughter? Didn't you say that you would never believe in love in this life and would die alone without anyone to see you off?" Dorothea couldn't help asking.
"I'm really not in a relationship. I have to deal with the affairs of the Dragon Kingdom, so I don't have the time to waste on this," Xia Lulu replied confidently, "You know my situation, how can I stay on the throne peacefully? Many dragons are eager for a tyrant like me to die soon, and they are always staring at me."
"Then you shouldn't have a daughter, right? And she's a holy swordsman..."
"I won't tell you."
Xia Lulu gave the most infuriating answer.
I won't tell you~I won't tell you~
"You're so stingy, Xia Lulu."
Dorothea complained on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil, and she was thinking and speculating a lot.
Looking at the way Xia Lulu is protecting her cub, their identical looks, and her bloodline of the Silver Dragon royal family, there is no doubt that Xia Yi is her biological daughter.
But since Xia Yi was not born by her mother, how did she come about?
If Xia Yi hadn't used the holy sword, she wouldn't have been able to guess it.
The special power of the legendary weapon, the Holy Sword, can enable humans, a race that has a huge gap with the superior species, to gain the strength to compete with the king of the superior species. This can be said to have subverted the common sense of this earth.
The wielder of the Holy Sword can only be human. After all, the Holy Sword only recognizes human souls. I don’t know if this can be regarded as the Holy Sword’s unique mercy to the human race.
Whenever the human race faces a catastrophe, there will always be a Holy Sword Master who stands up to protect humanity.
Even if the Holy Sword Master dies after burning his life, the Holy Sword will select the next qualified person to succeed him as the Holy Sword Master.
Even if foreigners obtained the Holy Sword, it would be useless. The souls of foreigners could not be recognized by the Holy Sword and could not exert any power at all. In the hands of foreigners, they were like scrap metal.
However, under the temptation of the holy sword, some foreign races used some extremely opportunistic abilities to possess the holy sword user.
Some rather special dark creatures.
E.g……
Bloodlines.
Vampires can use the method of granting the First Embrace to convert other races into vampires.
After capturing the Holy Sword User, forcefully Embrace them and they will be transformed from a human into a vampire.
Or maybe the royal family would first destroy the Holy Sword Master's body, and then use necromancy to revive the Holy Sword Master, turning him from a human into an undead...
