Chapter 563 True Dragon
"Hurry, hurry!"
Dick led the group through the island's wilderness, his heart filled with anxiety. "Protect the young lady!"
"Yes," the soldiers replied in unison.
Dick looked up and saw the parrots circling in the sky.
"Slow down, Dick," Peggy said.
Dick frowned at Peggy: "We can't slow down, Peggy. The situation could be very dangerous. We have to get out of here right away."
"But where can we go?" Peggy frowned. "Dick, why are you in such a hurry? What are you hiding from?"
"Peggy, trust me, my intuition is never wrong."
"I never said I didn't trust you, but you haven't told me why either," Peggy suddenly sat down on a rock. "I'm too weak to walk anyway, unless you tell me why."
"Peggy, you said you wouldn't cause trouble," Dick said.
However, Peggy said, "I didn't cause any trouble, but you've been acting strange ever since that day when we were attacked by those blue-gray monsters, Dick. Are you really not hurt?"
Dick was certainly injured, and not just slightly.
However, with the Dragon's Secret Technique protecting him, it wouldn't affect his movements: "I'm fine."
"You seem to be putting on a brave face. Sometimes, I really think you're just like my father. Once you've made up your mind about something, you won't change it and you'll never tell anyone else."
"I cannot compare to Lord Hubert," Dick said.
"I believe you will definitely be better than him someday, really," Peggy said, her gaze fixed on Dick.
These words surprised Dickton; he hadn't expected Peggy to speak so highly of him.
"Thank you for your approval, Peggy—"
"Don't be too happy yet," Peggy said, her expression still serious. "While I acknowledge your potential, I'm also telling you that you still have shortcomings. My father never panics; he always handles things calmly and composedly, no matter what. But you're clearly much more impatient."
After listening to Peggy's words, Dick suddenly realized that he was indeed a bit impatient.
A true knight must remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.
But when did I become like this?
Upon careful recollection, it was after the battle with that group of deep-sea creatures.
In that battle, Dick used some more advanced secret techniques.
With the help of the Green Dragon Horn, Dick is always able to calmly analyze the real-time battlefield situation.
However, it wasn't until now that Dick realized what was happening.
After the power of the secret technique wore off, Dick's thoughts were always difficult to settle down.
In other words—is this a side effect of the ultimate technique?
Mr. Mosley reminded me—Dick thought—that the book could grant practitioners the power of dragons, but it would also imbue them with the nature of dragons.
Dragons are a greedy race, and the infamous Dragon Burning Disaster originated from their inherent greed.
Only then did humanity have no choice but to retaliate and carry out a massive extermination of dragons.
Could it be that the restlessness in my heart is a harbinger of becoming greedy?
Dick was startled.
If Peggy hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have realized the change in himself at all.
It was too subtle and silent—
Dick suddenly realized that "How to Train Your Dragon Uriel's Fitness Manual" mentioned that the more exquisite and profound the power, the more drastic the alteration of the human form.
So, does that mean we must restrain ourselves from using high-level secret techniques?
Thinking about this gave Dick a terrible headache.
Regardless, he understood Peggy's concerns at that moment: "I'm sorry, Peggy, thank you for reminding me, I was indeed a bit too hasty."
"That's more like it. So, can you tell me what you're worried about?"
Listening to her soft words, Dick looked at Peggy and couldn't help but sigh, sometimes Peggy really is gentle.
Should he tell Peggy? — While hesitating, Dick looked at the group of parrots again.
Oh no—there are so many people gathering here!
Dick took a deep breath and then said to Peggy, "See those parrots?"
Peggy looked up at the sky: "Well, there's nothing strange about that. This is Featherfall Island, the origin of exotic parrots. Since we arrived on the island, we've seen countless exotic parrots."
"Yes, exotic parrots, however—" Dick suddenly narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Peggy, how many kinds of exotic parrots are there—"
"Four types —"
As soon as she said that, Peggy's eyes suddenly widened. "Lord—Dick, is there only one kind of parrot circling above us now? Where are the other parrots?"
"I don't know," Dick shook his head. "These parrots have been following me ever since that battle. The reason I'm in such a hurry is to shake them off. After all, I don't know why these unusual creatures are suddenly following us, but these strange birds are just like a persistent ghost!"
Upon hearing this, Peggy stared at the parrots for a moment: "Thirteen in total," Peggy said, "thirteen dragon scale parrots."
"There wasn't this much to begin with, but it's been piling up," Dick said.
“I heard from the old nanny that the dragon-scaled parrot once reached Trough Harbour,” Peggy said. “Back then, the king was a rather idle man.” Kieran loved hunting and would search for hunting grounds everywhere. Once, he chased a huge whale and eventually caught it near Trough Harbour.
“I know about this incident,” Dick said. “When Kieran returned, his brother staged a coup and killed Kieran outside the gilded gates of the royal city. From then on, that kind of whale was called the Fallen King Whale.”
"Hmm—Old Nanny said that when the Dragonscale Parrot landed on my city gate, it really frightened many soldiers. The Dragonscale Parrot looked just like a giant dragon, and everyone thought that a demonic dragon had descended. Some archers fired in panic, but they couldn't penetrate the dragon's scales. However, Old Nanny said that the parrot just used its loud voice to convey the command that Kieran was about to arrive, and then it flew away."
Dick nodded: "I've also heard that the most important use of the dragon-scaled parrot is to deliver messages."
"At least, Dick, despite the dragon-scaled parrot having many dragon-like qualities, it may not be dangerous—though I can't quite put my finger on why they've gathered here."
However, Dick was taken aback upon hearing these words.
Peggy, who was standing nearby, quickly asked, "Dick, what's on your mind?"
Dick smiled and said, "Peggy, your words have reminded me that the dragon scale parrots may not only share the same traits as dragons, but they may actually be close relatives of dragons."
"If the dragon-scaled parrots aspire to become true dragons, then it would be reasonable for these creatures to follow the true dragons."
Peggy laughed: "That's a bold idea of yours. But true dragons have long been extinct."
However, Dick remained serious: "Perhaps it is as you say, but the dragon's aura has probably not completely dissipated."
Dick looked up at the sky, then gathered his strength and unleashed his ultimate technique—
The raging dragon roars!
The deafening sound waves surged outwards.
The dragon-scaled parrots that had been perched in the sky began to descend one after another.
They huddled together in front of Dick, as if in worship—
