Chapter 254: Chapter 163 From now on, I am the king of this country, who agrees, who is against? (4K)
Renea touched the simultaneous translation earpiece she was wearing on her ear, as Xue Jing had not taken it back when they separated two days ago.
Her eyes showed determination, and she asked,
"So, what exactly do we need to do?"
Xue Jing released the hand he was holding with Renea and said,
"Renea, you mentioned before that you can get close to the 'Dragon God,' right?"
The girl nodded, "That's correct."
"My ancestor, it is said, had a little-known connection with the Great Dragon God, and she entered into an equal 'Daruka Contract' with him, becoming the First Generation Dragon God Priestess."
"The First Generation Shrine Maiden, according to legend, was the one who rode the Dragon God in the myth of world creation, establishing 'Nagdor'... the land beneath our feet."
Renea placed her hands in front of her chest, fingers crossed, assuming a prayerful stance.
"Although the history of the ancestral connection between the First Generation Shrine Maiden and the Great Dragon God has been lost, the contract between the shrine maiden and the Dragon God has been passed down."
"According to the terms of the contract, every generation of Dragon God Priestess has one opportunity to summon the Great Dragon God through a ritual ceremony."
"If the Dragon God who arrives is satisfied with the maiden of that generation, he will become her 'Daruka'... but up to now, aside from the First Generation Shrine Maiden, none of the descendants have ever managed to do so..."
Renea's eyes darkened a bit.
"Those who do not meet the Dragon God's requirement, according to the contract, are taken back by the Dragon God to the 'Roaring Great Waterfall,' where they must serve it for life..."
"And it has a terrible temper, often consuming the shrine maidens who serve it. My mother, my grandmother, both have already perished in its belly, and currently in the Roaring Great Waterfall, only the previous shrine maiden, my sister Dottia, is still alive... I hope."
Xue Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I see..."
"When can you perform this ritual ceremony to summon the Dragon God?"
Renea hesitated, "Is it urgent?"
Xue Jing nodded, "Very, it's best if it could be today or tomorrow."
Renea pinched the hem of her black robe she wore and murmured,
"It's impossible today, holding the ritual ceremony requires the consent of the Elders Council, plus arranging for people to construct the altar... The altar is complicated, and I can't build it alone."
Xue Jing said, "What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is also doubtful, the efficiency of the Elders Council's work is... not so good, and I also don't know if they will agree to my request." Renea shook her head.
Hearing this, Xue Jing nodded and looked toward the Mirror Person in his bracelet.
"Little Mirror, what do you think?"
The Mirror Person, with the appearance of a handsome young boy, pursed his lips, "Don't call me Little Mirror, my age could make me your ancestor."
After pausing, it spoke with significance, "Just go ahead with your idea."
Xue Jing chuckled lightly, turned his gaze to Renea, and placed his hand on her shoulder, asking with a smile,
"Renea, speaking of which, I've been here for several days now, but I haven't had the chance to visit your country yet? As a foreigner, I'm quite curious about your exotic culture."
"Take me for a tour, will you? And if possible, introduce me. I would like to meet this Elders Council of your country..."
Renea: "Huh?"
For some reason, although the smile on Xue Jing's face was clearly warm and sunny, it surprisingly made her shiver.
...
That Country.
In the land known as 'Nagdor,' one of the only two nations, with a total population not exceeding ten thousand, consisting of only one city.
Nagdor is the land of dragons, and the absolute rulers here are the creatures known as 'dragons.'
Because of the existence of the Dragon God Priestess who had once made a contract with the Dragon God, That Country has never suffered from dragon attacks, and thus, the people live in tranquility and peace.
However, today, years of peace were once again shattered.
"That Country, the scoundrels from That Country are attacking!"
Atop the city's watchtower, a middle-aged soldier clad in leather armor shouted in panic.
He immediately grabbed a horn made from a large animal's horn, hanging by a rope at his side.
"Woo woo————"
The mournful and muffled sounds of the horn echoed through the entire city, with the extended, uninterrupted notes signaling the highest alert, causing everyone in the city to involuntarily stop their work.
Subsequently, some people saw that there were more than a dozen shadows in the sky, coming toward That Country, backlit against the sun.
"Are those... dragons!?"
"There are people on the backs of the dragons!"
"Is it the Priestess? No, this generation's shrine maiden is a failure... She hasn't managed to tame a single dragon!"
"It's from That Country, those despicable creatures, they even dare to offend the Great Dragon God, capturing and taming dragons!"
"What do we do now?"
"Inform the Elders Council and the Shaman first, and quickly summon back the 'patrol team.' Right now, only the guard team is in the city, they won't be able to stop those scoundrels from That Country!"
...
"Hmm? Is that That Country?"
Xue Jing and Renea rode atop a giant lion, born from Shadow Flame, arriving at a high hilltop, looking down from a height.
Beneath the hill, there was a small, circular city, enclosed with stone walls, that looked somewhat like a medieval town often seen in otherworldly fantasy series.

A river divided the city right down the middle, and the internal structures were meticulously planned and aesthetically pleasing.
At that moment, near the city gate, there was quite a buzz of activity.
