Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 492 - 046 Suspicion

Later, with the emergence of the Beastman Royal Court in the Kawa Great Forest, Austin originally thought that the Gold Level Great Mage had discovered some traces of the Arcane Council and the Beastman Empire.

But now it seems, it’s far more than that.

Over the years, the Dragon Nest Tribe has never given up on infiltrating the Human World.

On the Border Great Wall’s side, spies from the Dragon Nest Tribe roamed freely, collecting information on every aspect of human civilization.

Among these, a particularly interesting discovery was,

beneath the Legendary Realm, even Gold Level Great Mages and Great Warriors seemed unaware of the Beastman Royal Court, most at best heard a few terms from Adventurers encountering wild Beastmen.

As for the Arcane Council hidden behind the Beastman Empire with an even older history, it was completely unknown.

It seems there are individuals or forces deliberately sealing off ancient history from the world, apart from Legendary figures possessing high-level combat power who might know a little, the general populace knows nothing.

History has been shrouded in a veil of mist by human hands.

Perhaps due to differing world human environments, ordinary civilians lack interest in learning about their own history.

But the current situation clearly cannot be explained by simple disinterest.

"Why has history been concealed?"

Austin pondered silently, recalling the information he knew.

Starting from the earliest Arcane Council, to its conflict with the Divine, resulting in a war that swept the Multi-universe, leading to the Twilight of the Gods, the demise of the Arcane Council, the Divine’s retreat, the emergence of the Beastman Empire era, and the rise of humanity with the appearance of the Seven Sages...

This series of events formed Austin’s basic understanding of this continent’s history.

It seemed a very straightforward historical line.

However, behind these heavy events, were clashes of countless forces, already stirring the true history hidden underneath into murky waters.

Now, the Seta Continent is about to fall into upheaval again, and it may not be unrelated to those things.

A tangled mess.

Austin shook his head silently.

Trying to uncover the whole truth is basically impossible now.

He’s not an archaeologist, with no inherent desire to explore this world’s history; if not for some crucial information being very important for his own positioning, Austin probably wouldn’t care at all about these tangled matters.

If the stories of the human Seven Sages and the Seven Kingdoms from back then are true,

then within the Ireland Kingdom, there might be remnants of Epic Level existence from back then left behind, which might truly exist.

However, Austin also harbors a suspicion about Sarah Plantis’ statements.

The large dragon eyes stared intently at Princess Sarah in the great hall,

a massive pressure, like a tsunami, rolled in and swept over, causing Sarah’s entire forehead to be covered in sweat.

"Sarah Plantis, according to what you said, Ireland Kingdom, one of the Seven Great Kingdoms of the Central Earth World, with an uninterrupted heritage of 8,000 years, your royal bloodline even possesses the Sacred Artifact left by your ancestor, one of the original Seven Sages, Plantis. For countless storms in the past, nothing could affect your rule over Ireland Kingdom."

"What exactly happened to your nation now, that made you personally set out, taking on great risks to cross the Dolan Glacier Plateau to get here!"

The massive dragon’s might was aggressive.

Clearly with an attitude of not stopping until a reasonable explanation is given.

Princess Sarah fell into silence, seemingly having some unspeakable difficulties.

She said nothing, and Austin said nothing either.

The air was filled with silence.

All along, Austin had deeply embraced the spirit of developing discreetly and secretly, managing to survive to the Legendary Realm this way.

Now, anyone can see that the Central Earth World is about to face a great storm.

This is a sign of the Divine’s revival.

In this storm, even a Legendary figure might not necessarily escape unscathed; Austin had no intention of becoming entangled in this storm.

If not for knowing nothing about the path after reaching the Legendary Realm and the Power of Time embodied in that route being the most suitable clue, along with a certain interest in the rumored astrology, Austin surely wouldn’t casually get involved in this storm.

Cautious and careful has always been Austin’s greatest principle for surviving until now.

In this crisis of the Ireland Kingdom, even a top kingdom that has survived for thousands of years on the Central Earth continent can’t resist.

Without understanding the situation clearly, Austin wouldn’t casually get involved in this upheaval.

"Your Highness, I..."

After a long time, Princess Sarah sighed.

It seems that without clarifying the situation, there’s no way around it.

However, since these matters involve some of Plantis’ scandals and the kingdom’s core secrets, she can only request to meet with Austin alone and explain the reasons behind them in private.

...

Time flew by, five days quickly passed since Princess Sarah and her entourage’s visit, and the rampaging Ape Demon in the lab was subdued by Austin.

After that private meeting, Austin didn’t immediately agree but arranged for them to rest.

In the main city of the Dragon Nest Tribe, there’s naturally a place to receive guests.

Princess Sarah and the others weren’t in a particular hurry and stayed in the main city of the Dragon Nest Tribe according to the arrangement.

During this time, Sarah and the others often went out for walks in the main city of the Dragon Nest Tribe, showing great interest in everything about this city.

Especially when the Dragon Nest Beastmen organized teams to repair the streets damaged by the Ape Demon, everyone watching on the side was utterly stunned.

Because these Dragon Nest Beastmen directed so skillfully, thousands of them turned the ruins into a construction site with not a slightest bit of chaos, everything orderly, and in a matter of days, they had cleared out the extensive ruins, transported materials, and began using various engineering machines to build houses upon it.

Having already mentally prepared, thanks to experiencing steam locomotives and iron plowing machines, Sarah and her entourage were still amazed, though not utterly shocked.

What truly stunned them was the sight of the thousands of Dragon Nest Beastmen laborers organized so systematically on the construction site!

According to Captain Hansen, as long as these Dragon Nest Beastmen were equipped with weapons and armor with some training, they could be crafted into an elite legion!

Their combat power was second only to the Royal Knight Order, enough to rival the core army of the Ireland Kingdom!

And from their inquiries, it turned out that these thousands of Dragon Nest Beastmen involved in the construction were merely soldiers from the construction corps of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Construction Corps—a new term.

But it didn’t hinder them from understanding that above the construction corps, there were militias, auxiliary troops, regular armies, core Dragon Nest Legions, and Beastman Officers.

It’s hard to imagine how powerful this enormous Dragon Nest Tribe hidden within the Kawa Great Forest could be militarily!
