Chapter 1731 - So There Are Things That Giant Dragons Are Afraid Of
Angela left excitedly after drinking her cup of tea. She was already planning on how to raise her suggestion calmly with Irina.
Mag was stroking the cat with one hand, and holding a book with the other while lying comfortably in his chair. The warm sun shone in on him through the glass floor-to-ceiling window. It was so relaxing that it made one drowsy.
However, Mag could not sleep at this moment. He was deep in thought.
Whether it was the Great Old One who was about to break through the seal or the upcoming peace talks in 10 days, they were both events that could affect the situation on the Norland Continent.
And he was pulled into this whirlpool of events inevitably.
The existence of the Great Old Ones obviously did not just stop at that head in the Thunderstorm Mountains.. Since the head’s seal could no longer hold the octopus monster back, would that mean that there were other damaged seals in other places? Or maybe some of the Great Old Ones had already broken through the seals?
That would be the worst-case scenario, but it was also a possibility that could not be eliminated.
That horrifying mural might be a scene from the past, but it might also be a prophecy for the future of the Norland Continent.
No matter how one looked at it, the Great Old Ones would require all the races to work together to defeat.
Therefore, at the racial meeting two days later, he had to let the different races be clear about the adversity that the Norland Continent had to face so that the different races could resign the peace treaty during the peace talks 10 days later, or even stand together to defeat the Great Old Ones.
The Great Old Ones’ appearance could make everyone stand together more easily than the completion of the train. Mag pressed his lips together. However, that’s not a good thing in any way.

“Sir, the Golden Dragon’s chief and Frost Dragon’s chief have arrived,” Hades said as he walked quickly into the meeting room.
“Invite them to the guest room.” Michael placed his document down, and walked out.
“Sir Michael, is what you said in the letter true? Was the devil really found near Chaos City? And it’s about to break out of its seal?” Louis asked with a grave expression the moment Michael stepped into the room.
Meanwhile, Douglas, who was dressed in an icy blue robe, was also looking at Michael with a grave expression.
The Golden Dragons and Frost Dragons were in the top 10 strongest tribes, so they could basically represent all the dragon tribes.
“This matter is true, and the people who found the seal weren’t from the city lord’s castle or the Gray Temple. They are Krassu, Urien, and Irina. They were the ones who prevented the evil aura from leaking out, and went deep underground against the unknown danger to seek the place out,” Michael said with a nod. As they were highly respected giant dragons, Douglas and Louis’s early arrival showed that they highly valued this matter.
“I see.” Louis fell deep in thought. Krassu and Urien were known powerhouses in the Norland Continent, while Irina had been in the limelight in recent years.
“Is it convenient to bring us there for a look right now?” Douglas asked.
“Alright. Novan and the others are still trying to repair the seal’s spell formation at the moment, but the situation doesn’t seem very good. The formation masters in Chaos City aren’t of much help, and we need the help of even more formation masters. Follow me.” Michael turned to walk out of the door.
Within moments, a black kirin appeared in the sky over the city lord’s castle. A golden dragon and a silver dragon quickly rose to the sky, and the three disappeared in the distance.
The Gray Temple had already taken control of the area near the Thunderstorm Mountains. Anyone who tried to go close to the mountain range would be arrested and interrogated before being released. Of course, there were those who were jailed immediately as well.
Although most members of the Gray Temple did not know what was at the Thunderstorm Mountains, it had to be something very important since it required a 5th-tier order, and was not to be discussed.
Michael led Louis and Douglas over to the core of the Thunderstorm Mountains. Immediately, a group of Gray Temple members came up to them. Michael flashed his city lord’s badge before he brought the other two into a concealed spell formation.
“What a dense evil aura!” Louis said with a frown as he looked at the black hole that appeared on the ground.
“It’s an aura that even we would find dangerous. It’s very powerful.” Douglas had a grave expression. He had not felt threatened for a very long time, but at this moment, he felt enveloped by threat.
“Let’s go. You’ll be even more shocked later.” Michael jumped down the hole first.
Douglas and Louis exchanged glances, and jumped into the hole too.
The fall took quite a while. The deeper they went underground, the denser the evil aura felt.
A layer of frost had already formed on the surface of Douglas’s body to isolate him from the evil aura. Meanwhile, Louis’s body was emitting a faint golden glow.
Michael walked in front, while the other two followed behind warily.
This method of going underground felt a little familiar to them. The situation seemed more serious and urgent than they thought. The mural underground on Golden Dragon Island was enough to ring the alarm bells in their minds, but this horrifying aura still caught them off guard.
At the end of a long tunnel was a giant wall mural.
“It’s the exact same wall mural!” Louis exclaimed in disbelief when he saw the same horrifying wall mural on Golden Dragon Island.
“Could that fellow be sealed right behind this wall mural?” Douglas asked with a grave expression.
“Yes.” Michael nodded. He looked at Louis, and said, “I wonder if a Great Old One is also sealed underground behind the wall mural on Golden Dragon Island?”
“Er...” Louis frowned. He shook his head, and said, “I’ve gathered tens of the top powerhouses on Dragon Island a few days ago to look at the mural together, and we did not detect any evil aura.”
“But you’ve not ascertained if there was another space behind the wall mural,” Douglas added.
“You mean... it’s possible that behind every mural could be a sealed devil?” Louis’s brows were tightly knitted.
“Or half of a devil.” Michael activated the stone door’s switch, and the door moved outwards in both directions slowly.
A horrifying octopus that was hundreds of meters tall suddenly appeared. Its greenish-black goo made it look as though it just crawled out from the swamp of evil. Its tentacles had numerous eyeballs that were emitting a red devilish glow.
Even Louis and Douglas, two 10th-tier powerhouses more than 1,000 years old, took a few steps back subconsciously. Their respective golden armor and frost armor had already appeared, and they were instantly in battle mode.
Bam!
With a loud bang, the octopus monster rammed against the seal, causing it to shake. However, it still was unable to break the seal.
“Tsk. So there are things that giant dragons are afraid of,” Krassu said with a chuckle as he walked out from behind the door with his hands behind his back.
