He didn’t mind that though, lying on the soft bed, he said:
"Finding the truth is actually quite simple, just find the person who is most likely to know the truth and read their memories."
"..."
The White-haired Lolita fell into thought, considering which dragon had a bad relationship with her and might have useful intelligence to read.
"Do you have someone in mind?" Xi Mu asked.
"Yes." The White-haired Lolita answered, and Xi Mu felt two little feet stepping on his back and chuckled:
"It seems I’ve never been a Dragon Knight before."
"The prerequisite for becoming a Dragon Knight is to be of the same gender," said the White-haired Lolita, her footsteps heavier, emphatically stomping on the conspirator beneath her, "It’s not allowed by law for us to form a partnership."
In the Dragon Kingdom, there was a law that members of the opposite sex were not allowed to become Dragon Knights together, as it might disrupt the dragon families.
"So there’s no room for negotiation?" Xi Mu sighed in disappointment, "I still have many things to deal with, and have no time to accompany you in search of the truth behind the scenes."
The White-haired Lolita said expressionlessly: "I can search on my own!"
"But you know too many secrets that you shouldn’t," Xi Mu replied, "I can’t let you leave my side."
The White-haired Lolita was silent for a moment, fiercely stomping a few times on Ahtal beneath her feet, this guy, he was indeed still interested in the Demon that might be hiding.
"Let’s hold off on that, you can make it up to me when you grow up." Xi Mu generously chose to compromise, opting not to force the White-haired Lolita to become his partner.
This was not only because the White-haired Lolita’s strength was inadequate, but also because he already had a better means of travel.
"Talk about it if you can survive the wrath of All Gods!" The White-haired Lolita retorted huffily, not really thinking that Ahtal was genuinely interested in her, simply wanting to bully her.
Otherwise, with Ahtal’s strength and charm, he would have already found a suitable partner, the Valkyrie Mist who was an enemy of the gods.
Clearly a far more suitable match for Ahtal.
...
...
That same day.
Niflheim, this was the Black Dragon’s territory, shrouded by an unending mist, with peak after peak rising up like barbs, where Black Dragons roamed between the mist and the mountains.
The Black Dragons lived high upon the peaks, while at the foot of the mountains dwelt the servants who served the great dragons. Among these servants were humans, Elves, Dwarves, and other sentient beings.
The dragons provided shelter and protection.
The servants, in exchange, offered treasures and food to earn the dragons’ shelter and the right to reside there, forming a rather intriguing symbiotic relationship.
At the highest peak of Niflheim resided the Black Dragon King, drawing the most humans, Dwarves, Elves, and other intelligent beings.
The housing built around the highest peak was even more luxurious and dense than Fafnir City, making it the capital of the Black Dragon clan.
"The strength of the Black Dragon King is even greater than that of the Red Dragon King," said the White-haired Lolita, sitting on horseback, turning to Ahtal behind her:
"How do you plan to probe her memory?"
"If you know her strength is that great, why did you bring me here?" Xi Mu countered, while the White-haired Lolita confidently responded.
"Someone like you, who intends to... cough, someone of your caliber surely has plenty of methods to deal with the Black Dragon King without any problem."
The man behind her, after all, was a conspirator who sought to turn the world upside down, and he was linked to the Witch of Death and the Goddess of Lies, so dealing with the Black Dragon King shouldn’t be too difficult.
So instinctively, she felt that Ahtal could easily handle the Black Dragon King.
"Let’s try asking directly first," Xi Mu said calmly, turning his head to look at Eden sitting quietly behind him, confidently stating, "If she is unwilling to reveal the truth, then we will have to rely on Eden."
There was absolutely no chance of him defeating the Black Dragon King in combat now, even if he unleashed both of the Swords of Light, he wouldn’t be able to kill the Black Dragon King.
Moreover, there was a conflict between the Black Dragon King and Eden, according to the official setting of the game. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
About four thousand years ago, the Black Dragon King defeated the grand tree guardian who watched over the Tree of Omniscience and witnessed the true form of the Tree.
Then the Black Dragon King bit into the trunk of the Tree of Omniscience, swallowing part of it, and awakened an extraordinary power.
Afterward, Eden gave her a good beating and threw her out.
"Aren’t you planning to make a move?" the White-haired Lolita asked, only to be pushed by Ahtal as he ruffled her hair.
"I can’t beat her, so naturally, we’ll talk if we can," Xi Mu said without any shame, riding the little mare toward the peak of the mountain.
Eden, seated at the side on the horse, heard this and gave a slight smile, lifting her hand to gently straighten her hair by her ear, her gaze toward the Dragon’s nest on the summit.
About four thousand years ago, the Black Dragon King located the Tree of Omniscience using her abilities and took a bite of its bark when Eden wasn’t paying attention. Even though it was a barely noticeable wound, the Tree of Omniscience had already fully healed.
But that still proved the formidable strength of the Black Dragon King’s jaws.
After all, the Tree of Omniscience is the great tree that spans everywhere, time is its branches, and space is its roots. To bite even a tiny wound into it was quite a feat.
A regular dragon would break its teeth and still be unable to harm the Tree of Omniscience.
Passing through the mist.
The little mare arrived at the entrance of a massive cave, slowing down gradually until coming to an uneasy halt.
"Partner, leave the rest to us," Xi Mu said as he patted the little mare’s neck, his smile warm.
Seeing this, the White-haired Lolita rolled her eyes to the side, this man was countless times more gentle with his mount than with her.
