“Nidhogg, when did you arrive?”
Odyssey swallowed his saliva, and his expression darkened.
“Around the time you said that you don’t know who would win in a fight against me.” Nidhogg’s tone was gloomy, “The Dragon Emperor wants to give me a Divine Dragon Star. Even though I haven’t said that I want it, it’s still considered mine! If you want to take it without my permission, you are violating my rights. Let’s find a place to solve that problem later.”
“You shouldn’t have bragged, Odyssey. You are finished now.”
The voice of a gloating woman echoed. A green ripple appeared in the air, and a tree that looked like the World Tree appeared in the air. Then, it turned into light spots and disappeared. The Forest Dragon King walked out of it.
“It’s still uncertain whether you’ll win in a battle with Nidhogg. Odyssey is really getting more boastful! There’s no need for Nidhogg; I can kill you by myself.”
After the Forest Dragon King, another person appeared in the air. He had a thick black bamboo hat and held a huge sickle in his hand. It was the Dark Dragon King.
“Forest Dragon King, Dark Dragon King, why are you here?” Odyssey looked like he wanted to cry. “Didn’t you say that you have something to do?”
“We do have something to do. I’m in a hurry to go and meet up with the Elven Kingdom’s army. After all, I promised the Elven King that I would accept their employment. It’s not good for me to keep running outside! As for Dark Dragon King, I heard that he recently made an agreement with the Winter Nation and needs to rush back to help train their Dragon Knights. I’m not sure what’s wrong with Nidhogg.”
The Forest Dragon King explained in a neutral tone, “Although there’s something wrong, we’re not blind. The Dragon Emperor created seven Divine Dragon Stars. We could see such a feat even if we were far away, so we rushed here! After all, no matter how important our topic is, it can’t possibly be as important as the Dragon Emperor. Fortunately, we’re back. Otherwise, we would not have known that you wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h our Divine Dragon Star. Now, tell us what to do.”
The Forest Dragon King began to clench his fists.
“Lord Dragon Emperor, I suddenly remembered that my lair in the dwarf kingdom is on fire. I have to hurry back and put out the fire. Farewell!”
Odyssey was sweating profusely. He said those words to Watson, then turned around and flew into the sky. His body expanded and transformed into the appearance of his true form, the Divine Star-seeking Dragon. He opened his huge mouth and swallowed one of the Divine Dragon Stars. Then, he turned into a streak of light and quickly disappeared from where he was, flying toward the west.
“Odyssey, weren’t you very proud just now? Stop right there.” The Forest Dragon King followed him and flew into the air. She transformed into a Divine Nature Dragon, swallowed the Divine Dragon Star, and chased after him.
After the remaining Dragon Kings obtained the Divine Dragon Star, they each bid farewell to Watson and left.
It took less than a minute from the creation of the Divine Dragon Star to the time when the Dragon Kings took them away, and some people in the capital saw that scene. They saw the huge dragons and the stars that disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, they treated it as if they had seen it wrongly and did not care.
After the dragons left, Watson stretched his back and said, “The Blackmoon Knights are under the control of Senior Brother Sylvan. They must have returned to Mount Creation through the spatial pa.s.sage. I don’t need to go and take a look.”
He had arranged for the sea folks and the dragons to support his army. He did not need to make any arrangements for the Blackmoon Knights. He did not need to do anything then.
With that thought in mind, a teleportation array appeared under his feet, and he arrived at the Sword Saint’s courtyard in a flash.
He had been busy during that period. He had been either in the Dragon Lair or in prison. Although it had only been a few days, he felt like it had been a long time since he had returned to that home.
“I wonder what my masters will look like when they see me? Excited? Did they miss me?”
While murmuring, Watson slowly pushed open the door.
The moment he opened the door, a cold sword aura whistled toward him, almost cutting his neck in half. Fortunately, he was agile and stretched out his fingers to pinch the sword aura, or else he might have been injured.
Raising his head to look into the courtyard, he discovered that Antonio and Reid were fighting. Antonio was holding a huge magic staff, and there were invisible Threads of Destiny around Reid, blocking the magic that Antonio had released.
A luxuriously-dressed old man stood in the center. It was King Landhar II, who Watson had rescued. At that moment, he was standing outside the field to judge Antonio and Reid’s fight.
“Your Majesty, Antonio and I have been fighting for half an hour. In your opinion, who is stronger? It is me, right?”
“Reid, stop bragging! No matter how you look at it, I am stronger. If it weren’t for the fact that I was afraid of releasing too much power and damaging the capital, you would have lost long ago.”
“Antonio, stop bragging.”
While Antonio and Reid were arguing, the old man sensed Watson’s arrival. He turned his head and looked at him.
“Watson, you’re back. It’s good that you’re back. Can you tell me who is stronger, Antonio or me?” It was Reid who had spoken. Watson was a little dazed. He subconsciously walked toward the old king and asked, “What’s going on?”
He thought that his two masters would be happy and excited to see him since they had not seen him for a few days. Who would have thought that his two masters did not miss him at all but were fighting with each other?
“It’s my fault. I came here not long ago. Twenty years had pa.s.sed since I asked the two of them—which of them is the strongest in the capital? Then, they started to fight.” The old king had an innocent look on his face. He sighed.
“Just for that?”
Watson did not believe it. It had been decided long ago about who was stronger between Antonio and Reid. Although the two of them fought, they had always been friends. There was no need to fight over such a small matter.
“Of course, I also said that I would confer the t.i.tle of the Strongest War G.o.d in the Kingdom to the stronger of them too. And I will fulfill one of their wishes,” the old king said.
As for the kingdom’s former king, his words were still very authoritative. He said that if Antonio’s wish were fulfilled, then any wish could be accomplished.
“So, you’ve been playing tricks on them.” Watson felt a little headache. He sent King Landhar II to the Sword Saint’s courtyard because he wanted him to help expose King Landhar III’s conspiracy and make him the King. He did not expect the old king to provoke his two masters into a fight.
“Watson, admit that I’m stronger. Don’t worry. My wish is very simple. That is to help you become the future king,” Antonio said as he separated from Reid.
Reid did not want to be outdone. “Watson, my wish is the same. Not only can I make you the king, but I can also make Tina the queen. Aren’t I good to you? Now, tell him I’m the strongest!”
Since when did they judge a person’s strength based on their good or bad deeds?
The corner of Watson’s mouth twitched, and a strange expression appeared on his face. “Masters, don’t fight anymore. You don’t have to do anything to fulfill your wishes! King Landhar III has already announced that I am the next successor to the throne.”
What?
As soon as Watson’s voice fell, Antonio and Reid turned their heads to look at him.. Even the old king opened his mouth and stared at Watson in disbelief.
