I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 229 The Friendship of the Golden Dragon

lis had previously neglected body enchantment, which was actually influenced by the mindset from his past life.it wasn't that no mages had tried enchantment; a small portion of them re

"i will go to bright city to find mr. stephens right now!"

as he spoke, ludwig gradually transformed, and once the golden glow had dissipated, a giant dragon clad in golden scales appeared before lis.

standing nearly five meters tall, his robust and powerful physique and massive dragon wings unequivocally displayed his might, while the gleaming golden scales and pupils proved he was a golden dragon who had not yet reached maturity.

the giant dragon lowered his head to look at lis, and through his majestic, golden eyes, he emanated a sense of closeness and goodwill.

"forgive me, i had wanted to accompany you for a while longer, but the desire for arcane has me eager to see my teacher now and gain new knowledge," lis said.

"after all, if i arrive late, the teacher might have gone off somewhere again."

from their earlier conversation, lis knew that in the twenty years that ludwig had traveled, he had visited bright city three times, but had never managed to meet mr. stephens, the arcanist.

having learned from lis that the teacher was currently staying in bright city, ludwig was quite anxious to get there.

especially after receiving a new hope.

"thank you for your help, otherwise i don't know how long it would have taken to seize this opportunity," he said.

"lis, my friend, i hope we can meet again in the future. may bahamut crown admiral witness our friendship."

a golden light fell from the chest of the golden dragon, slowly descending and landing in front of lis.

"i had thought to give you other gifts, but since you have the teacher's ring already, those gemstones would probably not be much help to your strength," ludwig said.

"this is my dragon scale, you are my friend, and a friend of the metallic dragon clan as well."

without waiting for lis to react, ludwig flapped his wings, and a whirlwind arose as the golden dragon vanished before lis's eyes.

lis reached out to catch the golden dragon scale floating before him, as a system notification sounded in his ear.

whew~

before he even had a chance to pull up the system panel to take a look, another gust of wind blew, and the huge golden figure reappeared in front of lis.

"there's something i forgot to say," the rough voice of ludwig came after he returned to his original form, a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

"when i came over from the other side of luoxue mountain, i saw many soldiers who seemed to be building a castle. i didn't pay it much attention."

"lis, both you and the teacher are from feis kingdom, right? you might want to be careful about that."

unlike the five-colored dragon, the wisdom and worldliness of ludwig from the metallic dragon clan made him quite aware of the conflicts among human kingdoms, and he kindly tipped lis off.

"now, off i go!" ludwig said.

amid lis's somewhat helpless gaze, the campfire, which had stubbornly endured for a while, was finally extinguished by the third gust of wind, and the surrounding trees swayed wildly.

after waiting a while to make sure that ludwig had truly gone this time, lis called up the panel.

wow! quite a bargain.

sharing knowledge once not only garnered many secrets from ludwig but also brought such new gains, which was pretty good.

just as lis was preparing to pack up his things, he noticed.

a wisp of dreamlike purple mist was gradually spreading through the forest.
