Hearing the red-haired man's words, Alisha couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Are you His Majesty Ryan Pandoragon, Lord of Storm City Lord and Commander of the Lion Army, who led the re-rise of the Pandoragon Family?"
The red-haired man couldn't help but smile when he saw how well Alisha knew him.
"Exactly," Ryan replied with a smile.
"This is amazing," Alisha said, expressing her shock as she looked at Ryan.
She knew Ryan through the illustrations in the history books of the royal family.
In the illustrations, Ryan always had black and white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
At this moment, Ryan looked rather young, like a 20-year-old youth.
If one counted from the day Ryan was born, he was at least 300 years old now.
In terms of seniority, he could be her great-great-great-great-grandfather.
At that thought, another doubt arose in Alisha's mind.
"But according to the records in the royal history books, Your Majesty should have died more than two hundred and twenty years ago."
Since he was a legendary emperor in the history of his family, the historians spent a lot of time writing about Ryan in the history books.
Ryan's funeral was also written in great detail.
In response to Alisha's confusion, Ryan explained,
"Our Pandora's family produces a Chosen One every two hundred years. The concentration of ancestral blood in the Chosen One is a hundred times that of ordinary descendants. They are born with the ability to communicate with ancient ancestors. After the awakening ritual of the ancestors, they can obtain the power from the ancestral blood and be reborn as a dragon. The lifespan of a dragon is far longer than that of a human. The length of a human's life is not worth mentioning for a dragon. When I learned the secret of our family in the Temple of Rhun, I faked my death. To the Dragon God, the powers of the human world are not worth mentioning."
"Are you saying that my father can also become a dragon like you?" Alisha grasped the key to the problem.
"That's right." Ryan nodded.
"Great." Alisha's expression turned to relief at Ryan's words, and her frown finally relaxed.
Alisha hadn't had a good night's sleep since her father disappeared.
Now, she knew that her father was fine and would soon be able to transform into a dragon like Ryan.
She could finally relax and take a good rest.
Lind stood silently at the side and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw how happy Alisha was.
It seemed that his mission this time had been completed successfully.
Lind didn't use any Blood Magic from the beginning to the end, and he even got the "Sacrifice Method" from Alisha for free. This mission was quite rewarding for him.
Moreover, he had gained a lot of knowledge from this mission.
Not only did he know the truth about the Goblins, but he also knew a shocking secret about the Tulip royal family. This trip was definitely not in vain.
However, Lind had a feeling that his trip was too easy.
Nothing happened along the way, which surprised him.
He had the feeling that this matter would not end so easily.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the entire temple began to shake violently, as if it had encountered a strong attack.
"Seriously?" Lind's eyes widened. He was just thinking about it. He didn't want anything to happen for real.
Ryan was also stunned. His expression was the same as Lind's. He didn't understand what was happening outside the temple.
However, Lind was different from Ryan. Although he was in the temple, there were Blood Bats outside that could be used as scouts.
The Blood Bats flapped their wings and flew towards the Goblin Cave.
After Lind recovered a certain amount of Blood Magic power, he could see through the Blood Bats' eyes, not just hearing the sound.
Lind controlled the Blood Bats and realized that the sky above the Goblin Cave was already covered by a light that blotted out the sky.
Lind was very familiar with this light.
Wasn't this the beam of light he had seen in the church in Blackwater Town?
However, the beam of light in front of him was even larger than the one he had encountered in the church.
In the middle of the light, Lind could make out a few white-robed monks.
He wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but the overwhelming light instantly purified the Blood Bats.
In the next second, Lind's consciousness returned to his body.
"What happened?" Alisha asked in a daze.
"It's the Church of Light. The Church of Light is attacking," Lind explained.
"It's the Church's lackeys. Everyone, follow me and let's teach these Church's lackeys a lesson."
The shaking just now woke up many sleeping Pandoragons.
They all wanted to transform into dragons and kill the church's lackeys.
However, they were surprised to find that there were no changes to their bodies.
"What's going on? Why can't I transform into a dragon?"
"Me too. I can't change at all."
Hearing the words of his companions, Ryan was shocked and furious. He also tried.
He realized that he could not transform at all.
Lind was stunned for a moment before he quickly understood.
It was that pillar of light. Its ability was to prevent the Pandoragons from turning into dragons.
Although dragons were powerful, as long as their ability of transformation was restricted, the Pandoragons were just a group of ordinary people with a longer lifespan.
When the power they relied on to survive could not be used, fear began to spread among the crowd.
"Did you lead them here?"
Ryan found Lind in the midst of the chaos, his angry gaze locked directly on him, demanding him for an explanation.
Lind replied, "Your existence has long been discovered by the Church. Twenty years ago, they came to Blackwater Town. It's just that they'd been secretly observing and didn't attack you. Today is the day they reel in the net."
Lind finally understood.
Why did a small town like Blackwater Town attract the Church?
What attracted them was not the new believers of Blackwater Town.
Instead, it was the Temple of Rhun and these Pandoragons that could turn into dragons.
The Church had been planning this for a long time. They had even found a way to restrict them from transforming into dragons.
It was all for today, this moment.
Coincidentally, Lind happened to be caught by the Church of Light. This scene could be said to be quite awkward.
