The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

[The contract is completed]

The sound of the contract blew through the wind like a ghost, escaping into the depths of the old earl's soul.

There was a sickly smile on the old count's face, like a monster in the abyss, which made people shudder.

And the fingers that were almost trembling with excitement picked up the brand new contract tremblingly, and the relaxed and raised corners of the mouth were as disgusting as a mud monster:

"Then let's start now?"

"Okay, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

Bill's voice was as calm as the distant winter fog or the biting night wind:

"I can promise you one last experiment, but you must let these children go immediately, including those outside. And you must end this before the sun sets."

The old earl frowned slightly.

The first condition is acceptable, but the second condition represents the deprivation of the Count's long-standing dream.

In his plan, the perfect individual is not the product of one day. It requires endless time to carve, perfect, and even try many times.

"This is impossible, my child. Excellent individuals need time to be conceived." The old earl tried to fight for it, but Bill, who was determined, kept his position unwavering.

Bill's eyes revealed a determined light:

"If you don't agree, then I would rather commit suicide. I will let my body be reduced to ashes in the Pyroblast Technique, and you will get nothing by then."

Such determination forced the old earl to surrender.

He relaxed with a mocking gesture:

"Well, since these children and 'wife' are yours, it is naturally up to you to deal with them."

There was a sinister smile in his voice, as if he said casually:

"Speaking of which, I also like these children very much. They look a bit similar to your mother, and they remind me of you."

"Shut up!"

Bill almost roared angrily:

"You pervert! Bastard! Shut your dirty mouth, you don't deserve to mention your mother's name! I will never allow you to insult her, and if you try to stimulate me with those words again, then I will die. I won’t let your plan succeed!”

Facing the suddenly furious Bill, the old earl simply raised his hands as if to surrender, but his eyes were full of calculation and trickery:

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. He is such a troublesome child for his father."

"Shut up! After this experiment is over, I will have nothing to do with you, and you will no longer be my father!"

Bill's rant was filled with pain and anger.

"But you have to hold this key to open that door."

The Earl handed Bill a wooden key amid a burst of cunning laughter. There was a string of dull red threads hanging on the key. Time made all the bright colors fade away, leaving only darkness.

He jokingly said:

"Since you can't wait, use this key to open the door to 'perfection'. You should know where it is."

Look at the wooden key hanging in front of you.

Bill clenched his fists.

But in the end, he pulled it over, stood up, and walked silently to the last floor of this artificial space.

Watching Bill's lonely and tragic back fade away.

In the shadows under the light

The old count kept watching his back. As Bill gradually moved away, a deeper sinister smile appeared on the wrinkled old face:

"I really want to see your expression after entering that door."

"My good son."

Tick, tick, tick.

Time seemed to be frozen in this dark dungeon.

The ticking sound echoed in the dim passage, and every drop of water fell like a timed hourglass, announcing a cruel fate.

The dim light illuminated the only dim passage.

At the end of the road is a wooden door engraved with a large number of magic runes.

Standing in front of the door, Bill hesitated for a long time.

He wasn't sure what kind of creature was inside, but he was certain that there must be something terrifying here.

He was not sure what kind of monster was hidden behind this door, but he knew that it must be an extremely terrifying existence.

The purpose of this space is to create a supreme "perfect body", but his father, who has been experimenting with him since he was a child, never takes the risk of letting him come into contact with the secrets behind the door to prevent him from being irreversibly damaged.

The fear of the unknown has always been the deepest darkness in people's hearts, but Bill must face this darkness head-on.

He thought of Raya's smile, that innocence and hope, which were his only light.

Bill gritted his teeth and held the key with trembling hands, preparing to insert it into the keyhole.

However, just as the key was about to become one with the lock, a sudden vibration interrupted his movement.

"Boom!"

The whole space seemed to be trembling, and even Bill, who was hiding deep down, could feel the turmoil.

You must know that the entire laboratory is built in the sub-plane space that depends on the Earl's Mansion, and the entire subspace is closely related to the magic circle in the back garden of the Earl's Mansion. If the outside world is attacked, this place will also sense it. It can be said that everyone is prosperous. If one loses, both will suffer.

At this moment, even Bill at the bottom felt the violent vibrations in the space, that is to say

Someone from the outside is invading the Earl's Mansion?

who is it? Have such courage and strength?

Before he had time to think about it, Bill subconsciously took the key back, turned around and ran outside.

If this subspace is destroyed, the chaotic space fluctuations will tear everything apart in an instant, and there will be only death for those children and experimental subjects.

At this critical moment, Bill had to make a decision, turned around and ran towards the source of the shock.

On the way, he saw his father hiding in the special defense circle.

When he saw his son coming out, Earl Lyadon, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, said with a sinister smile:

"My good son, go and see who dares to invade Liadon's territory, and then bring its head to me."

There was no response, and Bill rushed out of the garden with a cold face.

"Who dares to challenge the authority of an orthodox earl?" "Is the person coming an enemy or a friend?"

As he ran, Bill kept thinking about these two questions.

At the same time, his heartbeat began to accelerate and his blood began to boil.

He knows that no matter what dangers lie ahead, he must face them, because not only his own destiny, but also the fate of those innocent children and the people he loves deeply is also in his hands.

And this narrow, damp passage is the starting point for a new chapter in his life story.

Determined, Bill took on the courage he had never had before and prepared to face the coming changes.

However, when he stepped out of the subspace shrouded by a magic barrier, a sudden wind blade struck in front of him.

As strong as a leopard, he relied on his quick reactions to instantly release Flash to dodge this close attack.

The sudden attack is undoubtedly a prelude, and it also indicates that the war in the outside world has reached its threshold.

"From sensing the attack to now, did it only take such a short time to break through the protective formation outside?"

Bill's calm expression could not hide his inner worry, because he knew that any existence that could easily pass through the strong protection of the Earl's Mansion was no small matter, and the opponent's strength was probably far greater than his own.

At this moment, a familiar and urgent voice penetrated the din of the melee:

"Master!"

The old housekeeper, the loyal servant who raised him in the past, is resisting the onslaught of the invading enemy with his flesh and blood.

He held a sharp blade in his hand, and regardless of his scarred body, he waved the blade and released several long-range sword energy attacks, while turning his head anxiously and shouting:

"Quickly, this may be a legendary monster!"

"Noisy!"

A low and loud voice sounded, and the wind blade was like a divine punishment falling from the sky. It instantly defeated the old butler's sword energy and knocked him away. The remaining wind blades left crack-like marks on the marble floor.

Then, the huge figure in the sky revealed its true appearance.

Bill looked up.

It has white wings with a wingspan of more than thirty meters, a wild body with a female head, and a noble face and cold eyes that prove its noble identity - a powerful female-faced Sphinx.

"Bang!"

After waving a blast of wind, he easily knocked out the old butler, who was a powerful warrior.

The female-faced Sphinx flapped its wings again, and instantly stood in front of Bill who was going to rescue him. The surging wind pressure firmly locked it in place, making it impossible to move.

She lowered her head and looked carefully up and down at the young man in luxurious purple robes in front of her. There was neither hostility nor intimacy in those deep emerald eyes.

"Bill Liarton, is that you? Come with me."

There was an unquestionable command in Lori Ortega's voice.

"What?"

The doubts in Bill's heart were like surging waves.

He knew that Ron, the mysterious young dragon with unfathomable strength who had been lazily lying on the shoulder of Teacher Tina, must have an extraordinary reason if he summoned him in person.

Seeing that Bill has not moved yet

Ortega was a little more patient about the young man Ron named and wanted to see, and took the initiative to explain:

"Time is running out, grab my wings quickly, I have another guest to pick up."

"Can I not go? I mean, can I visit Lord Ron again tomorrow?"

Faced with the female-faced Sphinx intentionally or unintentionally revealing the sharpness of the lion's claws under its wings, Bill swallowed and slightly modified his words sincerely.

A trace of impatience flashed in Ortega's eyes, and he stared at the ungrateful young man in front of him and said in a bad tone:

"My lord has said that if necessary, I can knock you out by force and then 'invite' you to come over."

"."

Despite the mystery welling up in his mind, Bill knew now was not the time to hesitate.

After just a few rounds of fighting between the butler and the opponent, Bill was sure that the legendary monster in front of him was far more powerful than the adult bird he had seen. Even if he had returned to the legend, it would be difficult to suppress the opponent.

In this case, he simply gave up the plan of fighting and chose to meet the mysterious colorful dragon to see what the other party was so worried about.

"Okay, let's go."

After agreeing, Bill suddenly breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then found that he was already covered in cold sweat.

The source of the cold sweat is not the legendary beast in front of me, but the "family" behind it.

"No, this is different from what I thought."

"No, I clearly wanted to reject my father when I came back this time, but now..."

"No! Wrong! Everything is wrong!"

The pale Bill finally realized what he had just done, which was an act called "compromise".

At this time, Bill's heart was like a stormy sea, with ups and downs and undercurrents.

Pale with pain and introspection, he finally realized the serious consequences that his compromise might bring.

For a long time, his blind obedience to the figure called his father and his silent endurance of the old count's horrific experiments have already made him deeply trapped in it, and unknowingly led him into a world he least wanted to face. of dark abyss.

"Snapped!"

Ignoring the doubtful gaze of the female sphinx, Bill slapped himself in the face, but the burning pain made him more awake.

"I shouldn't continue to agree to father's experiments!"

He roared deep in his heart, and it felt like an invisible giant beast was roaring out of his chest.

The almost desperate compromise just now could not break the chains of darkness, but instead made him sink deeper and deeper.

"What I did just now will not cut off the source of these disgusting things as I thought, but will only make myself deeper into them."

Regret surged in his heart, and veins popped out on Bill's clenched fists. His nails dug deeply into the flesh of his palms unconsciously, but the pain and blood could not make him relax at all.

As Ortega soared, Bill's gaze, filled with regret, gradually rose.

At this time, the stone pillars and sculptures of the Earl's Palace below were shattered in the blazing fire, and the dark portal leading to the abyss also looked particularly strange under the light of the fire.

Gradually, his expression calmed down.

Bill knew very well that there was no turning back for him who signed that contract.

Wherever he looks, it is no longer the shadow of the past, but the dawn of the future.

It was a new world full of unknowns and possibilities.

It was at this moment that Bill finally made his decision.

"When we come back, let's make an end of it."

This is his oath and the commitment of his heart.

He wanted to completely reject that fallen father, use the magic power he had sealed on the staff in advance to take away the darkness and evil deeds, and walk into the end with him, ending in the endless night.

————————

Inside the Castle of Justice

Sunlight shines through the windows onto the wool carpet, illuminating the first-floor room.

At this time, Ron was lying comfortably on the girl's soft and white thighs, enjoying Vivian's exclusive fruit feeding service.

"Ah-hmm."

After leisurely eating the last bunch of peeled blue grapes handed over by Vivian, Ron shook the blade of his tail to indicate that there was no need to get new fruits.

"Well, everyone is almost here, it's time to get down to business."

Ron stretched out his body, smacked his mouth, and said with some unfinished meaning.

"What's the matter?"

Vivian cleaned up the mess on the table and asked casually.

"To put it simply, we want to return a certain diary to its original owner, and at the same time make a high-level legendary elf our 'loyal' friend. Speaking of which, I am really a kind-hearted dragon."

Ron said proudly:

"Under normal circumstances, the alien dragon will use these strategies to force both of them to become their subordinates, and will never let go of any opportunity to increase their own power."

"You used the word 'only' to describe that elf lady. Isn't that inappropriate?"

After listening to Ron's adventure stories about elves, Vivian protested in a low voice while clearing away the messy desktop.

But Ron smiled and shook his head and responded:

"Then how can you assume that their gender must be female? You must know that the main god of the elves is an omnisexual god who has made others pregnant, and has also become pregnant himself!"

"In fact, high elves can permanently change the external characteristics of their bodies after reaching a certain level of strength. Legendary elves changing gender for love are too common in the star world."

After listening to Ron's words, Vivian didn't know what she thought of, and a hint of shyness suddenly appeared on her face.

She blushed and stopped talking. She just took the plate with the remaining peel back to the kitchen for cleaning.

At the same time

On the table next to the young dragon, an ancient diary lay quietly there.

On the cover of the diary, you can vaguely see four large characters written in elven script:

"Elf Diary" (End of Chapter)
