Chapter 703 - 704 – Who is the dragon queen?
<<Welp, we made public statement and everything that we won't be patriating in the upcoming tournament.>>
<<Obviously many people asked many very obvious questions, like "why" and stuff…. But beside that, nothing really has happened.>>
<<Still, when the tournament will be going, the servers will experience the "frozen state", meaning that nobody will be able to play it.>>
<<Over thousands of people will be taking part in the tournament, so it is obvious these players wouldn't want to be "left behind" by the players who didn't joined the tournament.>>
<<I guess I will just take myself a solid break from this game since this is the great opportunity to do so.>>
<<…>>
<<Still…. I say stuff about break, but there is one person who took the break for long time.>>
<<True Sin Of Sloth.>>
<<That annoying loli brat.>>
<<She usually calls me when I'm already busy… And I was expecting her to call me the moment I've archived my evolution.>>
<<Since now I've became one of most powerful beings in that world.>>
<<And yet…. No contact?>>
<<Hell, I did not only obtained a powerful race, but also a legendary class.>>
<<My authority of the sloth also became something much better AND….>>
<<…>>
<<Maybe this isn't the form of entrainment she is looking for?>>
<<She always called me when a big bullshit happened and stuff.>>
<<Maybe she wants wars?>>
<<…>>
<<And maybe she wants me to know that?>>
<<That shitty fucking brat.>>
<<Whenever we met, she always "rewarded" me, with something extremely important.>>
<<Does she plans to "tempt" me?>>
<<Does the wants me to become chaotic monster?>>
<<…>>
<<I mean, I'm one. I'm evil bastard. I'm no longer hiding it.>>
<<But I bloody refuse to be her "pet" that only lives to serve her.>>
<<She can use me, but so I will use her.>>
<<Besides, even if I wanted to "serv her", I can't. The empire still needs a lot of work.>>
<<….>>
<<Then again, there was no message what soever.>>
<<She doesn't need the bloody invite to talk to me. She can just sent her message to me, since we are connected.>>
<<Hell, my empire "felt" the gazes of the true sins.>>
<<Because of my connection with the "sloth", their gazes have been somewhat… "Limited" per say. Thanks to that, they can't spy on me.>>
<<However, the fact remains that they had gazed on the empire multiple locations.>>
<<Hell, we had few members of our guild that possess "sins".>>
<<…And this maybe end up provoking the heavens as well as the fallowers of the True "Virtues".>>
<<True Virtues are like the True Sins, but more like… "Good" related?>>
<<In nature, our empire alignment is… <Chaotic Neutral> or <Chaotic Evil> .>>
<<Honestly, we already dealt with some proper zealots.>>
<<Hell! We pissed off one of the gods so much that they couldn't keep up even simplest of poker faces, straight up revealing their "EVIL" nature to the public.>>
<<And the heavens hate us for that, since we pretty much "slandered" them in their eyes.>>
<<So, the churches related to heaves despises our asses.>>
<<And there are also the kingdoms…. As well as empires that are keeping eyes on us.>>
<<Things are bound to get problematic as soon as the barrier limit is up.>>
<<….And I've also kind of noticed something.>>
<<Before, when I was still some guy just running around, being hero and shit, the time went by…. Slowly.>>
<<Like, I could feel each day and each hour passing.>>
<<But now?>>
<<Now that I'm emperor?>>
<<The time in game is just going past my fingers without notice.>>
<<Few days go by, but for me? It feels like just a single day went by.>>
<<Heck! The moment I return to the real world, the flow of time just feels…. "MESSY" or "TANGLED UP".>>
<<I know, I know, 1 day in real world equals 3 in game days.>>
<<But I've never had THIS problem.>>
<<I had some problems when I've started playing, since the time flow inside and outside was different.>>
<<But this is different.>>
<<On one hand, days in real life goes slowly and normally, while the days in games just slip by and before I've even realized, a in game day has already passed.>>
<<…>>
<<Honestly speaking, when I've raided the Lich Lord's Tomb, the time flow was… Normal?>>
<<I guess maybe it is depending on what I'm doing?>>
<<…>>
<<*Sigh*>>
<<Yeb… Being emperor isn't as fancy as you think, once you get the crown…. Eh?>>
<<Still, I'm probably not the only one suffering with that kind of problems.>>
<<Players are being more active in game political world.>>
<<Players becoming nobles, lords, mercenaries companies or even some people apparently starting to form their own kingdoms.>>
<<I've also heard some rumors that some bastards tried coping us, but founding their kingdoms inside dangerous territories, ESPECIALLY THE GREAT MONSTER ZONES, wasn't really a smart idea.>>
<<I mean, that was obvious.>>
<<Even we had shitty time dealing with monsters here and we needed to form alliances and what not.>>
<<There was also Amadeus, a dragon whose god hood was stolen right underneath his nose by the traitorous god of heaven, the heavenly dragon.>>
<<…>>
<<Well… I've felt sorry for that one bastard.>>
<<When we did taken over the empire, we made sure his story was heard everywhere and we even made a statue for him, since he kind of deserved it.>>
<<…>>
<<The one that we had fought was a mad and weakened version… What would had happened if we were to fight his prime version now? Would we had won?>>
<<I mean, this is just plain curiosity.>>
<<I've thought we were already standing on top of the god damned food chain in that world…. However, it wasn't the case.>>
<<The four kings.>>
<<Nah.>>
<<The entire tomb of the lich lord.>>
<<There are dungeons and monsters out there that are still stronger than me.>>
<<Honestly, I've looked down on the dragon empire…. But I guess I shouldn't.>>
<<That undead dragon queen.>>
<<She was beyond dangerous.>>
<<Considering the information that the dragon empire had, there is no way they are not related.>>
<<I've had my people look up the names of the four kings.>>
<<3 of them we found out.>>
<<The king of elven kingdom that was the first victim of the Lich Lord birth, and the two other powerful kingdoms that were swallowed by the tides of death.>>
<<But!>>
<<There was no information whatsoever about the kingdom by the name of Owurawa.>>
<<So, who the hell was that queen? And why is the name of that kingdom nowhere to be found?>>
<<…>>
<<And here is question.>>
<<If she is truly related to the dragon empire, then does that mean there is a powerful dragon as her?>>
<<Probably one of the clan heads, be it queens or dragons are the ones possessing the same power as hers.>>
<<The dragon empire grew by absorbing or fusing together with different tribes and such… So, there is good chance that the kingdom that was ruled over….>>
<<…>>
<<No.>>
<<Something is still not adding up.>>
<<If there was a dragon kingdom, then why was its name erased?>>
<<That part doesn't make sense.>>
<<Did the dragon empire did that? Did they wanted to hide the name?>>
<<…>>
<<I will have to ask either my wife or dragon king about this.>>
<<There is good chance that they know something.>>

"Owurawa kingdom?" – asked Aworia as she was checking some of the paper work.
"Yes." – said ClownFrog.
"When I was in the Lich Lord's Tomb, I've encounter 4 extremely powerful undeads."
"Fallen King Of Mowi Kingdom."
"Fallen King Of B'wu'ria Kingdom."
"Fallen Queen Of Owurawa Kingdom."
"Fallen King Of Wu'law Kingdom."
"3 of those kingdoms I've found out that they were once the elven kingdom that was birthplace of the Lich Lord, while the other two were powerful nations that were once destroyed by the lich lord."
"However, there was no information whatsoever about one undead."
"The Queen Of Owurawa Kingdom."
"A dragon wielding thunders that could destroy magic."
"I've got interested in her and her story… But no matter where my men looked, they could never find anything."
"Her kingdom's name was completely erased."
"So…."
"My dear wife."
"I'm going to ask you this."
"Did her kingdom or maybe clan became one with one of the dragon clans of the dragon empire?"
"…"
"No." – replied Aworia calmly.
"I've never heard of any kingdom that went by that name…."
"…"
(She doesn't seems to be lying or be too shaken up by the question.) – thought ClownFrog, who was carefully analyzing his wife's behavior.
"Then can I ask you another question instead?" – said ClownFrog.
"How did the dragon empire knew about the existence of the Lich Lord's Tomb?"
"That's…."
"…"
"I don't know." – replied Aworia.
"I honestly only found out about its existence in the first place via my father."
(So the existence was kept strict?) – thought ClownFrog.
(Even amongst the family members?)
"By the way, amongst the dragon clans, is there any that specializes in thunder and anti-magic?" – asked ClownFrog.
"From what I know, your clan main power of power is fire and thunder."
"Yes. We do wield fire and thunder elements." – replied Aworia.
"However, because of the countless merges, many clans often wield many different elemental powers."
"But they mostly focus on 1, 2 or 3 specific elements."
"For us is the thunder and fire."
"Then what about anti magic?" – asked ClownFrog.
"…"
"There is clan of Mi'Mi… That do uses anti magic…But they don't use either fire or thunder as their main attributes." – replied Aworia.
(So, there is way too many suspects, eh?) – thought annoyed ClownFrog.
(I guess finding out if that dragon's descendants are now part of the dragon empire won't be that easy….)
(Although, if they are, then this is definitely going to cause some nice reactions, once I ask the dragon king about this.)
(And maybe somebody will expose themselves without me having to do anything.)
