Chapter 841: The year of the Black Dragon's Flight is coming again
Chapter 841: The year of the Black Dragon's Flight is coming again
In the year 1351 of the calendar of Fengmo Continent, New Year was approaching.
The land was covered in a blanket of white snow.
The entire Westwind City once again transformed into a world adorned in silver. Every tree branch, rooftop, and lampshade wore a white hat.
Many snowmen lined the streets, each with a blissful and sweet smile on their faces.
The people of Westwind City built snowmen, and almost every one of them had a smile. The people of Westwind rarely had worries and sorrows in their lives.
It was said that wealth could improve a person's emotional and intellectual intelligence, making them more prone to laughter. Conversely, those who were quick to anger and engage in conflicts were often destitute.
There were few destitute individuals in Westwind City, so everyone loved to laugh.
The New Year was only a few minutes away...
In other words, in a few hours, it would be the Year of the Black Dragons Flight.
But this year in Westwind City, no one was migrating out of the city, nor were they moving their gold and silver treasures. Everyone peacefully enjoyed the happiness of the New Year. Even many people from other cities had come to Westwind City.
The reason was simple. Four years ago, Westwind City had proven its ability to repel the Black Dragon. Based on this fact, Westwind City would be the safest place in the world for the next year.
Numerous wealthy nobles from major cities across the kingdom came, bringing not only themselves but also a large amount of wealth. Even the nobles from Bright Road had arrived in significant numbers.
Robb still sat on the stone stool at the entrance of the chapel, wearing a set of T-shirt and jeans skin. No one knew that underneath this skin, he concealed a set of top-tier armor made of titansteel, with each piece enchanted with attributes such as defense and stamina.
Moreover, Robb carried a single-handed sword and shield made of titansteel, a bow and staff made of Life Wood. Basically, he wore a complete set of the best equipment that could be obtained.
Beside him, Suofa, Russ, Little Yi, and other combat-capable girls also wore top-tier armor, concealed beneath ordinary decorative clothing.
The crystal ball on the table emitted a radiant glow. On the other side of the crystal ball sat the queen and Madeline, both dressed in the finest full sets of equipment, seated in the hall of the palace. In the garden outside the hall, the Black Earth Knights and the Royal Magic Knights, the two core forces of the Kingdom of Gran, were ready.
Every soldier was armed to the teeth!
The Queen spoke calmly, "I am well-prepared on my end. How about you?"
Robb chuckled, "I've also made some preparations, but from my perspective, the level of these equipment is a bit too low."
The Queen said, "But I can't see any army by your side through the crystal ball."
Robb replied, "The army is currently in the New Continent. If something happens, I will call them immediately through the phone."
The Queen nodded. She knew that each of Robb's subordinates could produce a transmission scroll at any time, so the speed of support would not be a problem.
However, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Wouldn't it be better to have them arrive early and be on standby rather than calling them if something happens?"
Robb shook his head, "Last time, though the Black Dragon arrived the instant the New Year bells rang, it doesn't mean it will come as quickly this year. What if it decides to show up on the last day? I'd rather have the warriors prepared in advance than wasting their expressions."
The Queen said, "..."
After careful consideration, she realized that he had a point.
She turned her head to look at the Black Earth Knights and the Royal Knights who were on high alert outside the hall, feeling a little embarrassed.
She could only say indignantly, "The Black Dragon will definitely arrive on time. My preparations won't be a waste of expression."
"Wowo!" Robb said, "I originally thought the Black Dragon might come very quickly, but with your confidence... things become uncertain."
The Queen didn't understand what he meant by "confidence," but her intuition told her it wasn't a compliment. She snorted coldly and ignored him outright.
At that moment, Robb suddenly shifted his position and took out a small crystal ball from his pocket. It was his "cell phone," different from the specialized communication crystal ball used by the Queen. His "cell phone" could communicate with anyone else who had a cell phone, so Robb didn't know who was calling before answering.
He took out the crystal ball, gave it a quick glance, and smiled, "Who is it?"
Xuelus voice immediately came from the crystal ball, "In a few minutes, it will be the Year of the Black Dragons Flight."
"Yes!" Robb laughed.
"Happy New Year in advance," Xuelu said with a smile. "Also, if that Black Dragon shows up, call me immediately, and I'll respond right away."
Robb replied, "Where are you right now?"
"I'm still in the New Continent," Xuelu said. "I'm exploring further west from where you defeated the Titan Giants. It's quite interesting here. There are many... oh no, a group of cannibalistic Maya people is rushing over. I'll hang up now. Remember, if the Black Dragon comes, make sure to call me..."
The call ended.
Robb: "..."
The Queen listened to their entire conversation, not hearing any flirtatious remarks. Her expression improved slightly. She grasped the key point and asked, "There are cannibalistic Maya people on the New Continent?"
"Yes!" Robb replied. "Although the Maya people don't form a nation, there are countless small tribes with significant differences among them, including variations in culture. Some Maya tribes are extremely primitive to the point of practicing cannibalism. They not only eat white people but also capture other Maya people to consume."
The Queen frowned, "Should we peacefully coexist with these people...?"
"No!" Robb shook his head. "We kill those who eat others without hesitation."
The Queen: "..."
Robb continued, "Most mammals don't consume the corpses of their own kind. It's not just a moral restraint but also a physiological response. They feel disgusted when they see their own kind die, they want to vomit when they see their corpses, and they have a natural aversion to consuming the flesh of their own kind. These instincts are not based on morality."
He paused and then explained further, "This is an instinct inscribed in the genetic code of biological populations for the purpose of reproduction and survival. Humans who lack even this instinct may not have fully evolved or may have experienced genetic mutations. In any case, it's best not to consider such people as humans."
The Queen didn't understand many of the terms he used, but she understood the conclusion: the cannibalistic tribe should be dealt with.
She glanced at the clock with a sigh and said, "In one minute, it will be the Year of the Black Dragons Flight. Yet, you still have the mood to discuss these things?"
