The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 19's

The Pouant Empire had lasted for a very long period of time, and had been established over eight thousand years ago. The entire Pouant Empire had lasted for three thousand years, but in the end, it was still being destroyed. The territory previously controlled by the Pouant Empire was around the joint border of the Holy Union and the Dark Alliance.

In other words…

The entire Magical Beast Mountain Range, the twelve kingdoms, and the thirty-two nobles all once belonged to the Pouant Empire. From this alone, one could tell just how vast the kingdom was.

But the Pouant Empire had been destroyed long ago!

"Over five thousand years ago?" The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, and then sighed. “It is impossible for me to feel the passage of time from within the Worldring. I did not expect that by the time I left the Worldring, more than five thousand years would have passed since the destruction of my country. ”

"Grandfather, what are you talking about? I am confused . ”

Linley felt as if his entire mind had turned muddy. This old grandfather suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and claimed that he was a Grand Magus from the era of the Pouant Empire, which had been destroyed five thousand years ago. What's more ridiculous than this?

Linley even wondered if he was in a dream!

"Son. "The white-haired old man looked at Linley. Smiling, he said, "The ring you wear next to your chest is a heavenly artifact that I once used – Worldly!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Linley immediately peeked at him and said, "What's the 'Worldring'? This ring on my chest was left behind by the elders of my ancestral clan. His name was 'Coiling Dragon Ring'! ”

“Circling Dragon Ring? Originally named Coiling Dragon Ring? ”The old man was surprised.

Linley.

"real name? What do you mean, real name? "Linley stared questioningly at the old man.

Only now did the old man start laughing. “Oh, 'Circular Dragon Ring' must be the name you gave it. Or maybe a name given by an elder of yours. When I initially found this ring, I searched through all kinds of documents but could not find any information about it. So I gave myself the authority to title Worldring. But for what his real name is, I don't even know. ”

"Oh, grandfather, you also chose a name for it. But now it's mine, and I call it the Circular Dragon Ring. "Linley's pretty stubborn.

“Good, well, just call it a Circular Dragon Ring if you want. "The old man laughed, not wanting to argue with Linley.

"Grandfather, can you tell me why you just appeared from inside the Coiling Dragon Ring?" Ask Linley.

The old man smiled. "In the year 4280 of the Yulan calendar, I-"

After hearing this, Linley was secretly shocked. “Year 4280? This year is 9990! ”

“In the year 4280 of the Yulan calendar, I met my old enemy, a Saint-level Grand Magus named Hamelin [Ha'mu'lin], and we both started fighting. I have not expected a second Saint level fighter to ambush me and sneak attack me. In the end, I was defeated, and my body was destroyed. I did not expect my spirit to be captured and tortured by my enemy, Hamelin, so I sealed myself inside this Worldri-this, ahem, Circular Dragon Ring. "The old man explained what happened in the past.

“Circular Dragon Ring is a very amazing object. It did not seem to emit any magical aura, but in its usefulness it could even be compared to a heavenly artifact. When I sealed my soul inside the ring, Hamelin and the others searched for me for a long time, but were unable to find me. This too, thanks to the Coiling Dragon Ring. "The old man smiled as he spoke.

Linley silently nodded.

The Coiling Dragon Ring, by appearance, really looked quite simple. As a member of an ancient clan, Linley had eyes that were somewhat judgmental.

Usually, precious objects at least had some sort of elemental aura. But this Circular Dragon Ring seemed to be nothing more than an ordinary, inert wood.

"Grandfather, you said that five thousand years ago, you were ambushed by a Saint-level Grand Magus and a Saint-level warrior, and then you sealed yourself inside this ring? And that this ring was an artifact comparable in power to a heavenly artifact? "Linley finally said.

"really. "Seeing it understood Linley, the old man couldn't help but smile and nod.

Laughing, the old man explained, “Actually, when I sealed my spirit inside the Coiling Dragon Ring, I weaved my existence into the Coiling Dragon Ring. Only when someone becomes the new owner of the ring am I allowed to leave it. ”

"Become the new owner of the ring?"

"really. Through dripping blood into the Coiling Dragon Ring. "The old man laughed.

Linley frowned as he muttered, "Dropping blood into the ring?" Frowning as he tried to recall when it happened, Linley suddenly remembered that when the stone cut his head open, fresh blood had covered his clothes and chest. Most likely, that was when blood dripped onto the ring.

"Oh. Then it made me the owner of the Circular Dragon Ring. "Linley nodded.

"really. Only now, after you become the owner of the Coiling Dragon Ring, can I leave that ring and once again experience the atmosphere of the Yulan continent. "Smiles on the old man's face. "really. Son I just told you my name, but what's your name? ”

Linley smiled brightly. "My name's Linley! Linley Baruch's! "

"Linley, what a name. "The old man smiled.

"Grandfather, will you forever be bound to the ring and never be able to regain your freedom?" Linley felt a bit bad for him.

The old man smiled and nodded. "Linley, you should know that when most people die, their spirits will enter the Nether World! But since I was a Saint-level Grand Magus at the time of my death, my mental energy had gained physical form. That was the only reason why I could temporarily reject the call of the Nether Realm and seal myself inside the Coiling Dragon Ring. Currently, there is only one way for me to leave this ring – depleting all my remaining mental energy. ”

"Take out all your remaining mental energy?" Linley did not understand.

"What humans call mental energy, ghosts might call it 'spiritual energy'. When one's mental energy was completely depleted, his soul would naturally dissipate. In other words ...when my soul disappears, it will leave the boundary of this circular Dragon Ring. "The old man said calmly. “But the current situation is also fine. Although I was locked up by the Coiling Dragon Ring, preventing me from being more than three meters away from him, this is not too bad. ”

Linley's heart trembled.

Suddenly, in his heart, Linley felt pity for this old man.

"Heh heh, Linley, I've been very satisfied. You don't know this, but .. if my spirit is captured by Hamelin, it will be a fate worse than death. "The old man sighed.

"Grandfather, did you say your name was Doehring Cowart? Can I call you Grandpa Doehring? "Suddenly Linley said.

Doehring Cowart was the mighty Grand Magus of the Kingdom of Pouant, and thus had a very high personal status. Back then, he would rank among the top five figures in the Yulan continent. He fell just because he was insulted by Grand Magus Hamelin and other Saint-level fighters.

Yet…

Doehring Cowart never had children, nor grandchildren. After hearing Linley address him as Grandpa Doehring, Doehring Cowart's heart, which had been lonely for thousands of years, suddenly felt warm.

"Yes yes . ”Doehring Cowart feels very happy.

An expression of excitement suddenly appeared in Linley's eyes. "Grandfather Doehring, just now, you said that you are a Saint Level Magus. Then, can you teach me how to use magic? "This Linley's heart was pounding fast. The person before him was a five thousand year old Saint level Grand Magus.

In Linley's mind, the huge body of Velocidragon, the terrifying spectacle of the Snake Fire Dance, and the countless stones falling from the sky started playing over and over again, and again, together with the spectacle of the arrogant man standing on top of the Black Dragon.

He desperately wants that one day …

He would also step on the head of the Black Dragon and make the sky tremble.

Doehring Cowart stroked his white beard. His eyes shone, he said, “Of course I can! Your Grandfather Doehring is a Saint level Grand Magus with an almighty earth style .. and among all elements, the earth element is the strongest among all! ”When he started discussing magic, Doehring Cowart started getting excited.
