The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Dia Hirsch believes that everyone in the Green family should follow in their mother's footsteps and return to live among the elves.

He believed that integrating into human society was a betrayal of his mother - after all, the relationship between the Elf Queen [Mina Eric] and the first Rose King [Victor Bryan] at that time was not harmonious.

After the end of the [War of Ragnarok], the leaders of these two races had completely opposite views on the civil war in the Karen plane, and an indelible rift appeared in the comradeship between the two.

Because of this, the humans and elves quickly chose to part ways after defeating the Dragon Empire and the Titan Empire.

After the mysterious disappearance of the Elf Queen Mina and the sudden death of the first Emperor Victor, the relationship between the two clans quickly dropped to a freezing point.

The Cold War of nearly a hundred years began.

With the passage of time and the replacement of royal members, the number of human leaders who once fought together gradually decreased.

After the two tribes of elves and humans struggled to maintain peace for nearly a hundred years, a small friction finally caused a large-scale conflict between the two tribes!

The cause was that in a small town on the border between the two races, a human mercenary and an elf ranger were arguing with each other in a tavern about who was the elf queen or the first king in the battle of Ragnarok, and who had the greater credit.

Who would have thought that such a small contradiction would eventually lead to a shocking war!

This battle between humans and elves lasted for nearly a hundred years. The war burned the entire continent, and both sides paid a huge price.

Magic and arrows fly together,

The tree spirit elder fought a bloody battle with the legendary warrior,

Elf priests and human mages clashed in the sky.

Countless lives were lost in the fighting, cities were razed to the ground, and the land was destroyed beyond recognition.

The resentment and hatred between humans and elves have reached its peak. Both sides are unwilling to show weakness and are determined to completely eliminate the other party.

Deception, assassination, alliance, betrayal.

This battle is not only a physical confrontation, but also a spiritual war.

The close relationship between humans and elves was broken, and the friendship and cooperation that had once existed were reduced to nothing.

Both sides accused each other of betrayal and mistakes, and the fight between them became increasingly fierce and cruel.

The reincarnation of this tragic battle lasted for nearly a hundred years, plunging the entire continent into deep fear and despair.

finally

This war between humans and elves ended with a tragic victory for the humans who allied themselves with the orcs.

But even if the human side wins, the price they pay is still extremely heavy: the originally unified Rose Kingdom is divided into two.

Most humans who were tired of war chose to go north to the extremely cold places and established the Frost Kingdom.

At this point, the strongest comradeship between humans and elves in the past disappeared, and only deep hatred remained between the two sides.

The remaining elves retreated to their ancestral land in the Ibi Forest with a large number of vassal groups, and began to secretly support the power of the Frost Kingdom. Finally, the elves completely disappeared from the Karen continent a thousand years ago.

Dia Hershey, the ancestor of the Hershey family who has always had the idea of ​​returning to the ethnic group, had a fierce quarrel with the ancestor of the Green family.

In the end, the two people who had different ideas chose to part ways.

The Green family chose to take root in the royal capital, and accepted the third king's request for a title, becoming one of the three major ducal families in Rose and continuing to this day.

and the other side

Dia Hirsch chose to lead three of her kind to leave the Green family and create the original Hirsch family.

They refused to stay in the crowded royal capital, and instead chose to go to the remote Ibi Forest to search for traces of the seventh Elf Queen, their ancestor Mina Eric.

[It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of the blessing of the Elf Queen Mina, all the ten children she took in at the time had talents that were different from ordinary people, and Dia Hirsch was the one with the strongest magic among them. 】

on this long journey

As Dia Hirsch repeatedly displayed powerful magical power far beyond that of ordinary humans, the name of [Glory Family Hirsch] became famous on the Karen continent.

The special magical talents possessed by their family have attracted the envy and covetation of countless people.

At that time, everyone on the mainland knew that as long as you married a girl from the Hirsch family, your descendants' magical talents would be far superior to ordinary people!

And this special talent also paved the way for the tragic end of the glorious family in the future.

Speaking of which

Warren, the blue dragon, gently picked up the brown wine bottle next to him and poured himself a glass of light yellow thorn fruit wine.

"Want some?"

He shook the bottles in his hands with Ron.

"Let's have a small cup."

Ron hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to have a brief taste of this special wine in the desert.

As for the rule that the goddess of death told him not to drink underage?

Sorry, Ron said that he had temporary amnesia just now and didn't know anything~~~

Warren nodded, poured half a glass of thorn cider into a palm-sized glass, and handed it to the expectant Ron.

Then, he raised his head and drank all the remaining wine in the bottle.

As the light yellow wine flowed in his throat, bringing with it a slightly spicy yet sweet and strange taste, Warren's eyes began to blur.

"I don't actually like thorn cider."

he said suddenly.

Ron, who had just raised the wine glass, suddenly froze on his face, and put the wine glass back without leaving any trace on his hand.

Warren didn't notice Ron's movements.

His eyes were blurred, looking at the blue figure at the corner of the gate who was scolding everyone.

“This wine was Michelle’s favorite and I fell in love with it after she left.”

"Michelle?"

Ron asked doubtfully, this name doesn't sound like a man, does it?

Warren nodded, took another sip of sea buckthorn fruit wine, and said slowly:

"Well, Michelle Hirsch is my partner's name."

"At the same time, she is also Julia's biological sister."

"Phew—scared me."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the wine glass he had put down.

"Gudu"

This time he finally tasted the unique and wonderful taste of thorn wine.

And the old blue dragon also began to tell the past events of that year.

There is no eternally glorious family, just as there is no eternal dynasty.

The Hirsch family's search for traces of their elf ancestors is a journey destined to fail.

Because, when they went through many obstacles and rushed to the Ibi Forest, which was the former Forest of Elves, they discovered that even the elves themselves did not know where the seventh Elf Queen [Mina Eric] had gone!

Of course Dia Hirsch didn't believe in this ghost story-like plot, and even prepared to fight in the Elf Holy Land because of this incident.

At that time, he had been promoted to Demigod, and he was an absolute powerhouse who could be ranked in the top ten in Karen!

You must know that Karen at that time was not like the gods and demigods now.

It was a glorious era when all races danced together and gods came to the world.

At that time, Karen's high-end combat power can be said to be: legends are everywhere, and demigods are everywhere!

Being able to be promoted to the top ten strong men in the mainland in this era shows the terrifying strength of Dia Hirsch.

Just when the war is about to begin.

An old elf who had taken care of Dia on behalf of Mina when she was a child came forward and told the adopted son of the Elf Queen some of the secrets of the past.

Only then did Dia Hirsch truly believe that the Queen had really disappeared out of thin air.

The cruel facts make all the pursuits of the Hirsch family seem like a joke.

The devastated Dia Hirsch finally chose to spend the rest of her life in a remote human town.

Before leaving the Ibi Forest, the old elf handed a vague map to Dia Hirsch.

The old elf admitted frankly that the Elf Queen Mina did not leave any information and disappeared into the deepest part of the World Tree.

But before that, she secretly gave the old elf a strange map and asked her to keep it well.

Mina told the old elf: You must give this map to the first human who comes to the elven land.

And Dia Hirsch was the first person to arrive in the Ibi Forest after the war between humans and elves!

Unfortunately.

Dia Hirsch never cracked the secret of that map until she disappeared.

"etc!"

Ron suddenly interrupted Warren's story.

He frowned and asked doubtfully:

"Until disappearing? What does that mean? Dia Hirsch disappeared too?"

The blue dragon Warren looked at the shocked Ron in surprise, and seemed a little surprised by the solemn look on his face.

He recalled the memories of that year, thought about it carefully, and then nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, Michelle told me that back then. She has never lied to me and will never lie to me."

After hearing this affirmative answer, Ron's pupils narrowed unconsciously for a moment.

That's right!

Dia Hirsch also has no clear death record, but like other demigods, mysteriously disappeared in Karen.

This is almost exactly the same as the disappearance of several demigod ancestors of the Green family and the first generation [Poseidon] lady.

These powerful demigods all disappeared suddenly without warning, without even leaving any suicide notes or anything like that.

"Demigod. What coincidence is his disappearance? But it can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Ron thought about the information he had received before, and felt more and more that the current absence of demigods in the Karen plane was not simply because of the decline of talents.

"Legendary. Promotion appears and disappears"

Ron thought about the deeds of these powerful demigods before and after they disappeared, and slowly organized them into a line.

His eyes suddenly opened wide, and a terrible suspicion suddenly emerged in his mind:

"Just like harvesting wheat, let the legend grow in Karen until he or she grows into a demigod, and then stretch out the sickle to harvest it."

"Someone is hunting demigods in the Karen plane!?"

The more Ron thought about it, the more frightened he became.

According to the historical records of the Hirsch family and the Green family, this "harvesting" operation has been going on for tens of thousands of years!

What kind of terrifying existence could do such a thing?

"Who is it, and what is the use of harvesting these demigods?"

"and"

As he thought about it, Ron's heart suddenly sank.

Judging from various current signs, the demigods who have disappeared from the Karen plane include men and women, aliens and humans, but they all have a common characteristic - they have all reached the "demigod" level.

And it seems that I have met the conditions for "harvest", right?

Think of this

Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to silently calculate in his heart what kind of power he would need to achieve to "harvest" himself in the main material plane.

After thinking for a long time, he came to a conclusion:

Unless nine dragon gods descended their avatars to attack him with fire at the same time, even if Ron, who was in the main material plane, could not defeat the combined efforts of the gods, they would never be able to stop a demigod iridescent dragon that wanted to escape.

"It seems that we still have to establish a good relationship with Bahamut and Tamara. If we want to find helpers at this critical moment, these two dragon gods are more reliable."

Ron lowered his head and thought about the enemies he might encounter in the future, and at the same time, he wondered whether he should get in touch with "Old Ba" and "Old Tower" whom he had not contacted for a long time.

After all, these two are dragon gods who have made it clear that they are on their side. It is not a bad thing to cultivate their relationship more.

Ron's thoughts did not interrupt Warren's story.

As the old blue dragon slowly narrated, time began to pass quickly, and the Hirsch family gradually fell into a second-rate small family due to various reasons from the glorious family at the beginning.

Until more than a hundred years ago

"At that time, I was still a mature blue dragon who stayed in the dragon's nest and didn't like to come out. In a cold winter, the current patriarch of the Hirsch family was attacked and died, so this glorious family in its decline faced a disaster."

"The enemy leaders used trumped-up illegal charges on the heads of the Hirsch family and carried out crazy assassinations."

"When the whole family was forced to flee"

"In order to protect her young sister, Julia's sister, my partner: Michelle Hershey, ran away from the family with her young sister in her arms and chose to hide her in a corner of the forest. in the middle, and I chose to lure away the assassins who were being pursued by the opponent."

Speaking of this, the eyes of blue dragon Warren seemed to reflect the panicked and decisive look of the ordinary human woman when they first met.

As for the rest of the story, Ron already knew most of it from the blue dragon outside Oracle Town, but Warren still briefly told the story about Julia:

Pursued by the enemy, Michelle Hershey accidentally fell into the lair of the blue dragon: Warren Rhodes.

Fortunately, Warren Rhodes is a strange guy who is different from ordinary dragons and likes to listen to songs and stories.

Relying on the elven songs passed down from her ancestors, Michelle instantly touched the silent heart of the blue dragon Warren, who was still in his prime at the time.

He kindly invited this human girl to stay in his lair for a few days, and Michelle, who was under pressure from the hunt, had no choice but to agree.

The cohabitation life of one person and one dragon begins.

After experiencing the initial panic and uneasiness, Michelle soon discovered that this blue dragon was not as arrogant and ferocious as the legend said, but rather like a child addicted to music and stories, with a pure heart.

She told him about the outside world and told various stories,

In this process, the relationship between one person and one dragon also heated up rapidly.

finally

With Warren's company, Michelle Hershey, who found love, finally gave up family feud and chose to spend her life with the blue dragon Warren.

and the other side

Sister Julia Hershey took the completely opposite path from her elder sister. (End of chapter)
