Queen Melia looked at Li Mo in surprise and asked, "Li Mo, where have you been?"
Seeing Melia walk out of the room, Li Mo was shocked.
Melia looked at Li Mo with suspicion. She remembered that she had set up a barrier before she left. Although it was only a low-level spell, Li Mo was a just a human who could not practice magic.
How could he break her barrier.
Looking at the clear suspicion in Melia's eyes, Li Mo thought to himself, "Oh no!"
He quickly turned his head and looked at Melia with fear and panic as he explained, "Your Majesty, not long after you left, five humans came in."
Li Mo's voice was filled with emotions.
"There was a mage among them. It was a woman. They couldn't enter at the door, but the female mage said... said..."
Seeing Li Mo stuttering, Melia was so angry that she said sternly, "What did she say?"
Li Mo looked at Melia's and continued, "She, she said that it was just a barrier spell, and that it was crap!"
Seeing the vicious look in Melia's eyes, Li Mo felt his scalp go numb.
Although the status of the dragon race in the Saka Continent was not as high as the ancient times, their strength was heaven-defying!
The fire dragon spell that Li Mo had secretly learned might be a very low-level spell for Melia and the other dragons, but when it was cast on a human, it was still powerful.
The pride of the dragon race would never allow other races to offend them, especially the lowly human race!
Feeling the temperature around him suddenly drop, Li Mo continued to explain.
"After the five people came in and realized that you weren't there, they tied me up and brought me to the foot of the mountain."
Hearing Li Mo mention the foot of the mountain, Melia couldn't help but frown.
Li Mo continued, "They kidnapped me to a cave. There were two guards there."
Then he put on an innocent expression and said, "Then they killed the two guards without saying a word."
Melia turned pale with fright. Although the dragon race had very few people, they had extraordinary strength. How could they be killed so easily.
Li Mo understood Melia's doubts and continued, "At that time, the mage took out a bottle of drug and used magic to knock out the two guards."
Seeing that Melia's expression relaxed a little, he continued to speak, "But in case the guards wake up suddenly, they slit their necks."
As he spoke, he pretended to slash his own neck.
Hearing this, Melia felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. Apart from the fact that the humans had dared to barge into the territory of the dragons, they even dared to knockout the dragon guards.
She muttered softly, "Could it be just for the wealth?"
Everyone knew that the human race was weak, but what made them even more desperate was the lack of wealth.
The human race accounted for 50% of the population on the Saka Continent. It was because of the lack of wealth that there was a shortage of magic training scrolls, let alone the drugs that could improve their magic skills.
"They brought me into the treasure vault. After searching for a while, they took me to a secret room."
Melia's eyes widened. She tugged at Li Mo's sleeve anxiously and asked, "What did you say? They entered the secret room?"
Li Mo nodded, "That's right... after entering, I realized that they wanted me to open the door to the secret room. However, I've just arrived here. How could I possibly know how to open the secret door?"
Melia remained silent, frowning as she pondered.
The door of the secret room was sealed with a magic barrier. An ordinary person would not be able to open it. However, if that mage was able to break the barrier, that meant...
No, it was impossible! !
"Yes."
Li Mo nodded vigorously and continued.
"I took advantage of the chaos to steal a bottle of drugs from the mage. I only had the chance to tell you when I knocked them all out."
As he spoke, he spread his arms wide open. Seeing that his hair was covered in dried grass, his body was stained with blood, and his entire body was dirty, she dispelled her doubts.
"Your Majesty, I rushed back as fast as I can. We have to hurry over. Otherwise, when the drug wears off, I'm afraid they'll run away."
Melia nodded. She did not doubt Li Mo's words. She had checked the background of this illegitimate son from the Sacred Ocean Kingdom.
Moreover, an outsider had trespassed into the dragon palace and even wanted to enter the secret room.
This was something she could not tolerate!
They had to pay a painful price! ! !
After that, she moved away from Li Mo and raised her head to chant a spell.
Following that, it was as if a crack had appeared in the sky. The roars of many dragons could be heard from within the crack.
Melia continued to chant, and the crack disappeared.
Li Mo memorized the spell. Although the final chant was not a spell, he still understood it thoroughly.
It was a signal that Melia sent to some of the Dragon Kingdom's guards, telling them to rush to the treasure cave at the foot of the mountain.
After doing this, Melia planned to rush to the treasure cave to investigate.
However, the moment she thought of leaving Li Mo alone in the room, she was worried that Iris would come over, or that he would run into those hateful and lowly humans where they'd abduct him again.
With this thought in mind, Melia dragged Li Mo along. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into a black dragon and flew toward the foot of the mountain.
Li Mo sat on the dragon's head and held onto Melia's horns.
After Melia transformed into a dragon, her body became even colder. Li Mo felt as if he was holding onto a large piece of ice.
The speed of her flight almost caused Li Mo to fall off several times.
Melia did not have the time to care about Li Mo. She only said, "Hold on!"
Li Mo obediently climbed further up. His hands gripped the dragon's horns tightly, and his legs clamped tightly around its body.
However, seeing how nervous Melia was, Li Mo was even more certain of the importance of the Sword of Laszka.
Could it be that Melia also wanted to take over the Laszka tribe?
However, Laszka killed a dragon. Even if she obtained the sword, the Dragon Kingdom might not be able to subdue the tribe.
If she was afraid of the tribe's strength, Melia could have destroyed the sword. However, she chose to keep the sword in the secret room.
Regardless, Li Mo was glad that he had hidden the sword.
In a few minutes, they reached the entrance of the cave, which was now surrounded by five or six guards, all of whom were talking.
