Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 267 - A Mysterious Painting



"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Sounds of mighty explosions covered over anything else in this world. He didn't have time to explore everything in detail, but he had a rapid glance over the whole garden, feeling somehow proud of what he did so far.

The garden had expanded in size to exceed one hundred fold than its original size, making it look like a whole region. The pillars –especially newly added one –were still black, with large pieces of forests and huge numbers of monsters still covered in the dark; but he was pretty content with the purification pace of the garden.

It might take months for the garden to completely purify everything, but he wasn't in any hurry. He just needed some monsters, and good places to make the villagers here live peacefully without any problems.

The time here was moving much faster than the outside, as the villagers he took had built real towns and villages, even some started to be pregnant and there were a wave of newborn babies everywhere!

With no threat of any kind, and the presence of every man inside the village or town; this was the most logical result to have!

Arthur just smiled before he headed straight towards the only quiet and peaceful place here, with the protective shields raised up like a huge sky covering the castle over the mountain with the forest around it.

He passed unhindered and went towards the central building, however when he reached there he found a funny scene; the scorpion queen was sitting on guard to the door while all the youths were around here, massaging her body!

"Hahaha, you are really enjoying your stay here, hahaha."

His voice came to startle her, before she glanced over his dragon body descending from the sky towards the ground, heading directly to the door. "You promised to come and take me out but you totally forgot about me," she complained, and he knew the time here was moving much faster than outside.

"I came here to bring you out."

"A battle?" she jumped a little with her body, shaking off all the youths around her without caring, like they were insignificant insects. "Will I have fun like I did here?" she added.

"Sure, just be ready, we will leave in a minute," he said, before hurrying to enter the building. He didn't risk to cancel his dragon form, or else his outside form might be cancelled as well.

As he entered the huge library, he was allured again with the huge number of books here, but he controlled himself while muttering:

"The array has many flags, so it must be placed in a wide place to be enough to contain all the runes and flags."

He then headed inside the building, for the first time ever. The library was huge, formed of ten stories tall, with levels full of books. "I just need a year and I promise to read all of you and memorize you babies," he said with a wishful glance over the books, like he was speaking to them.

The first level was wide, but there was no place suitable to store anything in it. The whole ground layer was sectioned with long parallel walls, with enough space for him to walk between them with his huge body.

He took roughly an hour, running between the sections, just rapidly glancing at them. He then flapped his wings and flew in the central large space, that extended from the ground level to the upper one, ending straight to the huge dome that had many paintings inside it.

The second, third, fourth, and up till the tenth level didn't have anything that could store a single array. He stood on the railing of the tenth floor, observing the dome above him before muttering:

"So you didn't save anything for me, old man! Sigh!"

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed something strange in the paintings of the dome; there was a dragon! When he closely observed this, he found this dragon was identical to himself, like someone had drawn this image of time on this dome a long time ago!

"Oh, Alex and his special foretelling ability," he muttered, realizing what happened, and then he started studying the painting with much care.

The painting described the journey of a dragon flying between ten stories levels, looking for something, while this thing couldn't be found. The last two images pictured Arthur standing on the railing, then flying towards the doom, before falling like a meteor towards the ground; making Arthur a bit confused.

He glanced at the images again. "There is no doubt," he muttered, before he glanced at the dome, then determined the place he should be at before falling to the ground. "No harm in trying, right?" he then flipped his wings, headed; exactly like what was drawn in the painting, towards the highest points in the inner concave surface of this dome.

Then he turned around.

"Oho, you naughty Alex! You hid a huge underground basement with such an amazing concealment array!"

 What he found from his position was a flash of light, overlapping over a long transparent corridor, like a pillar descending exactly from his position towards the ground; where he spotted a hazy image of a room.

Without any further ado he folded his two wings, letting his body descend like a heavy rock, exactly like it was pictured in the painting up above.

As he descended to the ground, he marveled at the strength and uniqueness of Alex's power, feeling the need to to search desperately and seriously for such a talent in this world, and the world beyond it.

"If I have such a talent, no one would be able to stop me," he muttered while his body just passed the ground, through the opening there, to find himself in a spacious underground hall, that was connected to other halls through short corridors.

The place wasn't dark, as it was strangely lit up by the ores used to build this space, lightening the whole place like a fire in a fireplace.. He smiled, as he flapped his wings and stopped his rapid descent, to stand in the ground, just a couple of meters away from it.
