Chapter 470: Start the Pursuit
Aldrian opened his eyes as he left his mindscape and let out a quiet sigh. His heart felt heavy, but he tried not to let it distract him. He glanced at the ring for a moment.
"Although I don’t remember you yet, I’ve already received your plea. If something truly happened to the Silver Lightning Dragon Clan, I will avenge you."
He knew he had already acted recklessly by accepting Long Leiyun’s request without knowing the true condition of the clan or the identity of the parties he might have to face. Any group capable of endangering the Silver Lightning Dragon Clan was not to be underestimated. He suspected these were the same parties Long Leiyun had spoken of earlier.
But he still accepted Long Leiyun’s request because his heart told him to, and he also felt it was something he needed to do. A dragon’s will whose only purpose was to wait for his arrival for who knows how long and to pass on a few pieces of information showed just how much faith Long Leiyun truly had in him. That conviction was what had kept him holding on until today.
If someone could hold that kind of loyalty and faith in him, he couldn’t bring himself to reject the request outright.
His heart told him it wasn’t right. He would respond in kind, according to how people treated him.
Long Leiyun’s request made him wonder what had really happened to the Silver Lightning Dragon Clan. However, without enough information and with no one who could provide it, he decided to put that concern aside for now. There were other matters that needed his attention.
After glancing at the ring for a few more seconds, he turned his body and looked at Emperor Raymond. He was stunned to see the emperor already slumped to the ground, staring at him with a blank expression. Aldrian couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him acting this way. He wondered what had happened while he was inside his mindscape.
Aldrian then walked toward the emperor, the surrounding silence still unbroken as the lightning had yet to appear, even after he had finished checking the ring.
Once Aldrian was near Emperor Raymond, the emperor unconsciously blurted out the question that had been stuck in his mind since earlier.
"Who are you?" His voice trembled.
