Chapter 0417-Shut Up Dragon I Don’t Want to Have Kids With You Anymore

The so-called [eternal life] is nothing more than a desire to leave a little more trace of oneself in this world of light.

Just like that bold speculation that Master just made, the previous king might not be dead, but had retreated into the background and become the real power holder who was secretly manipulating this country.

So much so that thirty years on, there are still traces of the last king’s rule up and down the empire.

Leon retrieved his thoughts and asked, “If the last king really did fake his own death, how did he manage to prolong his life?”

Master also has some speculations of his own about this, “Immortality or longevity is a topic that the Royal Alchemists have been researching for hundreds of years, so …… it could be that the research has progressed?”

“But if it’s really the work of the Royal Alchemist, then there’s no need for the king to fake his death to cover up the results of this experiment, right?”

Leon said, “A longer lifespan means that he can accumulate more reserves, and it also means that his rule will be more entrenched, and externally, he can also show off humanity’s magical attainments and demonstrate his strength. Faking his death, on the other hand, means that he will have to retire to the background, and although the real power is still in his hands, it is still not very convenient in many things, isn’t it?”

Leon brought up a point that Tag hadn’t previously considered.

The old man stroked his chin, frowned in contemplation, and murmured, “Indeed …… what do these suspicions and clues represent then ……”

New conjectures were accompanied by new questions, and Leon, with an active brain, immediately pointed out a remark that

“It may be that the means and the price behind this so-called eternal life must never be made public.”

After a pause, Leon added, “Of course, such epochal breakthrough research as immortality or life extension is justifiably not publicized, either out of secrecy or out of hidden strength. But ……”

“I still prefer that the [Price of Immortality] that the Empire has researched is not to be seen. And…it might also involve this protracted human-dragon war.”

Tag had some trouble keeping up with his apprentice’s train of thought, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Think about it, Master, the war between the humans and the dragons has lasted for thousands of years, there are just too many things involved, and every step taken and decision made by both sides may have something to do with the other.”

Leon explained, “That’s why I think that the former king’s immortality or extended life span was tied to the dragons and the war in general.”

Tag was silent in thought, slowly digesting Leon’s thoughts.

And at that moment, Rebecca, who had been silent all this time, suddenly that opened her mouth with a rather serious tone, “I think the captain has a point.”

The crazy girl, who had always been nervous, suddenly joined in such a serious conversation that both Master Tyger couldn’t help but cast a glance at her.

“Oh? How does that make sense? Tell me what you think, too.”

Tag thought, probably because young minds are quick and there is no age generation gap, so communication is easy, and Rebecca should also be able to understand what Leon is saying much more quickly than him
