Chapter 31

Leaving the room, Locke went to Clifford’s room.

“I have something to ask you about those people from last night!”

Clifford immediately put down his cup of tea.

“Actually, I didn’t really want to tell you about the four people from last night! But now that we’ve met them, we might meet them again in the future, so I decided to tell you in advance. There are many people from a different world. After they came to this world, they discovered a problem—the existence of the six great catastrophes. Therefore, they wanted to destroy all six great catastrophes from this world. But up until now, no one has succeeded! Not even at the level of the High Priest! Since they couldn’t destroy the six great catastrophes, they decided to destroy the continent on which humanity lives! Currently, we do not know if they have found a way to destroy the human world, but they will appear and control certain people. Their target this time was Correne Vicki! Since they’ve already appeared once, they will definitely appear a second time!”

After listening to Clifford, Locke fell into silence…

‘From another world like me? How did Clifford know that these people came from another world?’

With this question, he asked, “Sir, how did you confirm that these people came from another world?”

“Well, most people who grow up in this world only have one form when they sign a contract with a dragon. Clifford extended his hand. There was a black burn mark on his wrist. This was the pattern that had formed after the dragon had died. It was like a black scar on his wrist.

“Give me your hand!”

Locke compared the tattoo on his hand to Clifford’s. Other than the color difference, their contract tattoos were basically the same.

“If one is a visitor from another world, after signing the contract, a circle will automatically form around the contract! If you encounter something like this next time, be careful! In this world, although there are not many of these people, they have the ability to survive! Even if they are killed, they will be revived in a few years!”

“Revive? Impossible!”

How could something that only happened in a game world happen in real life? Even if they came from an alternate world, such a strange thing could not happen. However, after Clifford’s explanation, he remembered something. It was very likely that this was a game world.

However, part of him did not believe it because the people and things here were real. If this was the game world, then he should be a player. He could not have been sent to this world for this to happen! Therefore, it was very likely that these people treated this world as a game. In that case, what was the meaning of his existence here?!

Clifford looked at Locke’s conflicted expression and sensed that Locke knew something. But he did not ask directly because Clifford himself did not expose the entire truth. Those who did not belong to this world were not true people from this world. A large part of it was because they had the heart to destroy this world. This intent of destruction would cause their Dragon Contract to be marked.

This was one secret that not many in this world knew about. When Clifford became the king’s chief mage, he learnt about this secret from the Senate.

“Don’t think too much about this! Next time we meet these people, just kill them! Although we will meet them again in eight years, there’s no need to fear them. They will no longer be your match!

After the conversation ended, Locke’s heart was in turmoil. He seemed to have realized why he had been sent to this world!

The next day, they embarked on the road to Dunmei City. In order to save time, after Locke left the city, he used the Steel Dragon to carry the Earth Dragon all the way to Dunmei City. The princess had never experienced this before. She was very curious and immediately walked out of her Earth Dragon carriage.

In this world, not all dragons could fly.

Princess Vicki’s three-headed water dragon was a dragon seed that could unleash its full power in water. Therefore, she looked forward to flying!

Seeing this, Locke gave her the auxiliary wings he had gotten from the Hanos Science and Technology Tower. After accepting Locke’s item, Vicki seemed to be in a dilemma. She then said to him, “Even if you give this to me, I won’t fall in love with you!”

With that, he turned around and returned to the carriage.

Actually, Locke was just being considerate of the situation. He did not think too much about it. He did not expect such a small matter to give her such a good impression. Smythe, the guard at the side, walked over and explained to Locke, “This is what happened. When Princess Vicki was young, the water dragon she hatched was often mocked by others. Because most dragons have the ability to fly, and even after Princess Vicki reached adulthood, her dragons could only swim in the water! This has been a sore issue for years and flying became the biggest pain in her life! The auxiliary flying equipment just gave her just now is a rare magic item that only the Kingdom of Dunmei can create! In the Kingdom of Correne, there is no such advanced magic technology, so one can only complete the solo flying magic if they have enough magic in them!”

“So this is why Princess Vicki was so excited when she received the auxiliary wings.” After listening to Smythe, Locke could finally understand why Vicki’s personality had become like this. She looked more wilful than most people, but when she was alone, she seemed like just an ordinary girl who wanted ordinary things.

She was able to finish her meal alone, and she would not leave without paying just because she was a princess. Therefore, other than her wilfulness of wanting freedom, she knew the world better than most princesses.

“Thank you for telling me this!”

Elijah Smythe nodded and stepped aside. His duty, besides protecting the princess, was to help her maintain a good relationship with her fiancé at the critical moment. This was why Elijah Smythe had specifically told Locke about the princess.

Currently, the Kingdom of Correne was under the attack of the Kingdom of Tarafton. No matter what, they had to obtain advanced technological equipment from Dunmei to support their kingdom. With that in mind, King Correne decided to marry his daughter to Locke to secure the future of his kingdom..
