pain.
not dead!
I am still alive!
Xia Yi stood up quickly, feeling extremely ashamed when she recalled her gaffe in front of the statue of her ancestor just now.
"Cough cough!!"
She quickly wiped away her tears and pretended nothing had happened.
"Your Highness, this place is not clean."
Sera took out a handkerchief and wiped Xia Yi's face a few times.
This made the little princess even more embarrassed. Her face turned red and she had to quickly change the subject to ease the embarrassment.
"Sera, where have you been? I've been looking for you!"
"I'm sorry, Princess, I'm lost."
"get lost?"
"I found that you disappeared, and I wanted to look for you, but I couldn't find your whereabouts. Later, I came to the center of the Great Sea of Trees, found the temple of the ancestor, and felt your breath."
Sera paused.
"I entered the temple of our ancestor and discovered the magic circle here, which contained space magic. I realized that there might be a hidden space here, so I activated the magic circle and ended up in another world."
"Sure enough, Sera, you are like this too!" Xia Yi said, "I came here because I discovered the temple of our ancestor!"
"I sensed the presence of a legendary beast outside. It was very dangerous. I also saw you lying inside the temple of our ancestor. It seemed that the statue of our ancestor had appeared and was protecting you. I didn't know what happened. For safety reasons, I activated the magic circle in space again and returned to the sea of trees. I'll be here to watch over you until you wake up."
"Could it be that the ancestor saved me?"
Xia Yi was a little surprised, looking at the motionless sculpture.
"Sera, it's actually like this..."
She told Sera what she had seen and heard in the sea of trees.
"It's really incredible that this is the case." Sera was also quite surprised after hearing this.
"Yes, at that time I felt that I was doomed, but I didn't expect that the ancestor would show up!"
Xia Yi came to the statue of her ancestors and bowed to express her gratitude.
"My dear ancestor, next time I come here, I will definitely bring you the best tribute to honor you, such as my favorite osmanthus cake..."
Sera looked at her princess silently, and her eyes changed.
Your Highness the Princess, you are truly not an ordinary dragon.
……
……
The night before departure.
"Your Majesty, you... want me to attack Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Sera stared at Xia Lulu in disbelief.
"Yeah." Xia Lulu replied affirmatively.
Sierra was shaken.
As Xia Yi's personal maid, she had always acted to protect her and had never accepted such a mission.
But as a member of the royal maid group, she must follow orders.
"Deep in the sea of trees, there is an ancestral temple. Passing through the ancestral temple is actually the base point of space, and you will enter the real land, and the legendary beast Belial is sleeping there," Xia Lulu explained. "Xia Yi will definitely find the ancestral temple, open the passage, and go to the real land. At that time, you will play the role of Belial's demon pillar to attack her, and use Xia Yi's blood to wake Belial up. Sera, only you can perform this task. You have faced the legendary beast directly, and others have no experience in this area."
"As ordered."
Sera's expression looked a little complicated.
On the one hand, she knew that there was a legendary beast sleeping in the Dragon Kingdom; on the other hand, this mission was really incomprehensible and she didn't know what Her Majesty the Queen's intention was.
Xia Lulu saw through Sera's thoughts, "There is a special case among the legendary beasts, and that is the lazy beast, Belial."
"The lazy beast?"
"The goal of the legendary beasts is to destroy the world's civilization and wipe out all life. In theory, it is impossible for them to communicate with anyone. However, there was such an incident in the mythological era. The lazy beast made a deal with a human and gave his power to the human, allowing the human to control the seventy-two demon pillars. With the help of the demon pillars, he created an extremely glorious country."
"Is there such a thing?"
Sera was a little surprised.
She didn't know anything about the mythological era. After coming into contact with the legendary beasts, she realized that those beings were pure disasters. How could disasters communicate with humans?
"That man was called King Solomon. With the help of the 72 Demon Pillars, King Solomon was invincible. At one point, all the races in the world had to retreat in the face of King Solomon, who possessed the 72 Demon Pillars."
"As a legendary beast, the Sloth Beast actually did such a thing and cooperated with others?" Sera had a new understanding of the legendary beasts.
"Yes. Very few people know the history of the mythological era. Even humans themselves don't remember how powerful they were in the past." Xia Lulu smiled. "Without strong enough strength, even the glory of the past cannot be preserved."
"Could it be, Your Majesty, that you want to allow Her Royal Highness the Princess to obtain this power?"
"It's not just me who thinks so. The Dragon King in the ancient times also thought about it. He tried to contact Belial, obtain the power of the Sloth Beast, and control the power of the 72 Demon Pillars, so that he could easily conquer this land. No one would not want such a powerful force... Unfortunately, that contact failed. The Sloth Beast did not trade the power away like it did to King Solomon, and the dragon clan also paid a painful price. In the end, the Dragon King of that generation had to use the ancestral temple as a base point to create a false space for Belial to hide. Belial is also lazy by nature. Although he has the ability, even if he wakes up occasionally, he will not return to the original world."
"King Solomon is a human. He is the only special case that succeeded in contacting Belial. Perhaps Belial is only interested in humans. This is why our dragon clan failed in contact before."
"Your Highness, is it possible?" Sera was still a little confused.
"...Xia Yi is the only special case among the dragon clan."
Xia Lulu took out a magic scroll, which was written in ancient dragon language. The material was very rare and even the nobles might not be able to get it.
This was the first time she had seen a magic scroll of this level.
"The price the dragon clan paid was not in vain. This gave the dragon clan a certain understanding of the Demon Pillar. It was after that disaster that the Dragon King of the ancient times used all his national strength to create this magic scroll, which can temporarily seal the movement of the Demon Pillar for dozens of seconds. Hold it well, Sera. We dragons only have this scroll, and we must use it at the last moment."
"I understand." Sera took the scroll.
This scroll is the final trump card to ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess. With it, she will be able to survive against the legendary beast.
"Let Xia Yi's blood awaken Belial. Later, Belial may let the Demon Pillar test Xia Yi and let it remember Xia Yi well. With Xia Yi's current ability, she cannot withstand such a powerful power, but she still has to try to contact it first, at least before I help her..."
Xia Lulu's words came to an abrupt end.
Although Sera still had doubts in her heart, she didn't understand why Her Majesty the Queen would do this, but an order was an order, and she would not question it. Since it was a task entrusted to her by Her Majesty the Queen, she would respond well to expectations.
Her memory was sealed and she temporarily forgot the conversation.
"Eh? Your Majesty, why are you here...why am I here?" Sera looked at Xia Lulu in confusion.
"Go back, Sera needs to rest." said Xia Lulu.
"Well... Your Majesty, I will withdraw first." Sera nodded and left.
Xia Lulu was left alone on the rooftop again.
She gripped the cold railing and looked at the starry sky.
In fact, Xia Lulu didn’t know what Xia Yi’s future would be like, as no one could predict it.
It seems that my past and future are already predetermined, and no matter what I do, there may not be much change.
But on this road, an accident occurred, that was... Xia Yi.
Her birth was not a predetermined destiny, nor was it something Xia Lulu did on purpose. No one knew what her future would be like.
The appearance of Xia Yi is a unique miracle for Xia Lulu.

"Ancestor?"
"Lord Ancestor~"
"Do you like sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
The silver-haired young dragon was circling around the statue of its ancestor, asking curiously.
Because the statue of the ancestor had appeared and saved her, Xia Yi suddenly felt much closer to the ancestor.
Since our ancestors can show their spirits, they must be able to express their favorite foods, right?
But Xia Yi asked for a long time, but the statue of the ancestor did not respond.
"Ancestor, don't you like osmanthus cake?" Xia Yi was a little confused. "That's impossible. Ancestor is a good person. Good people should like osmanthus cake!"
Unfortunately, the statue of the ancestor still did not respond.
"You like osmanthus cake? Then you must like...Swiss roll, right!" Xia Yi made another guess.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the ancestor still did not move.
This put Xia Yi in a difficult position.
What kind of tribute should I choose?
"Your Highness, it's done."
Sera walked back into the temple.
Before, she said that in the ancestral temple, the former Dragon King had left behind a special space magic circle that could be used to transfer people outside the sea of trees.
Perhaps once we enter the sea of trees, this is the only way to leave.
Perhaps this is something the Dragon King of ancient times deliberately left for his own future generations.
"The magic circle is ready. We can leave here at any time." Sera said.
"Well, let's go back. I'm hungry and want to eat!"
Xia Yi turned around and said goodbye to the statue of her ancestor.
"My ancestor, I will leave first and come back later. As for the tribute... how about choosing osmanthus cake?"
After waiting for a while, there was no answer.
