Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 498: 486 Guang Ao Silver Brilliance

Dawn Forest.

Not too long ago, a political coup took place here.

Some elves who were dissatisfied with Elise and her new regime attempted to rebel against the Elf Royal Court multiple times during her absence in Dawn Garden.

Though they sought swift victory, Catherine, who held the fort in Elise’s stead, was not an easy opponent.

Unlike the somewhat inexperienced Elise, Catherine’s approach was far more direct and ruthless.

Under her vigilance, the Elf Royal Court remained unassailable, with nary a worry in sight.

In fact, the reason these elves initiated the coup during Elise’s absence from Dawn Forest was largely due to Catherine’s instigation.

Although Elise had succeeded to the throne and the Dawn Forest appeared to gradually accept this new ruler, there were still many opposing individuals and forces lurking within its shadowy depths.

Usually, it would be rather difficult to root them out, but now, they had surfaced on their own at the slightest provocation.

However, their strength far exceeded Catherine’s expectations. She had originally planned to eliminate them once they revealed themselves.

However, the situation now was such that, while she could ensure the safety of the Elf Royal Court, that was the most she could do.

The ones outside wouldn’t last much longer. Once Dawn Garden returned, these arrogant fools would be swept away.

No matter where they hid, they would be tracked down one by one.

For their appearances and identities were firmly etched in Catherine’s mind.

Just as Catherine had predicted, when Elise and Dawn Garden returned to Dawn Forest, the farce naturally drew to a close.

The elves were no longer the lords of the continent and their elite combat power was highly limited.

Among those opposing Elise, the most powerful were only a few elders with legendary abilities.

But even all of these elf elders together could not rival Dawn Garden.

Despite being the oldest of the three Floating Cities and having suffered some damage in previous battles, it was still not something these aged elves could contend with.

Thus, the upheaval that had been brewing for some time quickly ended under the forceful suppression of Dawn Garden.

The ordinary elves involved in the rebellion were allowed back into Elise’s command, provided they sincerely repented.

As for the commanders and ringleaders, although Elise felt some reluctance, they were, at Catherine’s insistence, cruelly executed.

The elves, who had always loved peace and tranquility, had not witnessed such savage scenes in a very long time.

Amid a faint sense of fear and unease, Dawn Forest once more returned to its usual tranquility.

Deep within Dawn Forest, there was a peak and a valley difficult to find for ordinary people. This place was called Silver Shine Mountain, always the home of silver dragons.

Nothing of note had occurred here since their last venture to Dragon Bone Wasteland.

For traditional dragons who lived for eons, their sense of time was usually quite weak.

Almost every pure-blooded dragon that lived long enough had experienced long periods of sleep lasting several years.

The silver dragons living here were well aware of what had occurred in the Dragon Bone Wasteland and were discussing how to respond next.

But no one knew how much time they would need to make their decision.

Life at this moment was either lively or calm. As the Lord of the North Wind said, they would take every opportunity to kill the despicable Black Dragon.

Hmm, there was a new piece of information recently, which said that the true form of the black dragon was actually the Silver Dragon, owner of Nolan Forest, who had gained some fame in recent years.

Many metal dragons didn’t want to believe it, but after all, this news had been revealed through the Oracle of the Lord of the North Wind.

Of course, the Lord of the North Wind wouldn’t tell them that he had learned this information from the mouth of the Mother of Evil Dragons.

Today, Silver Shine Mountain was visited by some old friends who hadn’t been seen for a long time.

Eade was the leader of the many silver dragons in Silver Shine Mountain, or you could say, the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder had lived for eons. His size was comparable to that of the stream of golden flames, and his power was just as equally matched, earning him the title of Legendary Silver Dragon.

However, in the past hundred years, he had rarely appeared outside of Silver Shine Mountain, so many of the shorter-lived races had almost forgotten about his existence.

Back in the day, the Legendary Silver Dragon was famous for his many heroic deeds and epic tales on the mainland.

But now, he was like an old clock, spending ninety percent of his time in deep sleep in his dragon nest.

If it hadn’t been for the major incident that happened in the Dragon Bone Wasteland recently, the Legendary Silver Dragon would have still been in deep sleep, with no dragons considering waking him.

The Legendary Silver Dragon had spent this period of time discussing with other elder and young silver dragons in Silver Shine Mountain about how to deal with that Black Dragon, or Silver Dragon.

After learning that an old friend was visiting, the Legendary Silver Dragon signaled the young silver dragon to bring the visitor to his lair.

Upon seeing the visitor, the old dragon’s wrinkled face registered surprise.

The visitor was Doran Greenleaf, the legendary spellcaster known as Green Light, a fellow adventurer from a thousand years ago, and currently one of the eight elf elders.

Compared to his revered status, however, the Green Light now looked rather haggard.

His usually sleek hair was in a mess, like a chicken coop, and his robe, decorated with gold threads, was tattered with numerous holes.

There were even various scars visible on his filthy face, with bloodstains on his body.

Before the puzzled Legendary Silver Dragon even had a chance to ask about Doran’s appearance, Green Light cried out, with a bitter face, “The new queen of Dawn Forest has gone mad, acting like an executioner, ruthlessly slaughtering any elf who dares to voice a different opinion from hers.”

“So, you ended up like this because of the new Elf Queen?”

The Legendary Silver Dragon looked surprised for a moment, then said awkwardly, “My dear friend, I sympathize with your plight, but as you might know, we Silver Dragons have always refrained from meddling in the internal affairs of other races.

But rest assured, as long as you stay in Silver Shine Mountain, I will do my utmost to ensure your safety.”
