As the night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky, and the campfire gradually lights up. Leia sits by the fire, her gaze piercing through the flames, reflecting deep contemplation. She flips through the ancient scroll in her hand. This scroll is not only the result of their battles, but also a mystery that leads them into deeper unknowns.
Sylas sits quietly aside, his eyes cold and indifferent, seemingly disdainful of everything around him. Occasionally, his gaze towards Leia reveals deep thought, as if speculating how this human princess will interpret the secret deeply connected to the dragon race.
Evan and Minah were whispering to each other, their words filled with worry and confusion, evidently perplexed by Darien's true intentions and the secrets of the scroll.
Leia finally looked up, her voice firm and strong: "The symbols on this scroll are very ancient. We need to find a way to interpret them. They may hold the key to Darien's true plan and the secrets of the dragon race."
Sylas sneered, his voice full of disdain: "Humans always like to pursue those seemingly elusive secrets. But even if you truly decipher something, what difference does it make?"
Leia stared into Sylas's eyes without fear: "This is not just a test for us, but also for you, Sylas. The secret of this scroll may be closely related to your race, and we need your help."
Sylas's expression changed slightly, and a subtle hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Alright, I will assist you, but not because I care about your fate, but because I am curious about these secrets as well."
As the night grew late, the atmosphere at the camp became even heavier. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts, filled with both anticipation and unease about the impending revelation of the truth.
As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, Leia and her team rose early. She led them to the library of a nearby large city, renowned for its extensive collection of books and ancient magical artifacts, making it an excellent location for researching ancient knowledge and secrets.
Upon entering the library, Leia was immediately drawn to the densely packed bookshelves. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she swiftly and decisively navigated between the shelves, searching for potentially useful information. Whenever her fingers paused on a book, she quickly flipped through its pages, hoping to find key information within the aged text.
Evan and Minah were both immersed in their research. Evan focused on maps and historical records, while Minah searched for books on ancient spells and healing techniques.
Sylas, on the other hand, stood by with a detached attitude, his deep eyes occasionally glancing at certain ancient texts. Though his demeanor remained aloof, he seemed to have a natural sensitivity and interest in this ancient knowledge. He paused briefly in front of a book describing the history of dragonkind, seemingly lost in thought.
Leia discovered Sylas's interest and walked over to ask, " Sylas, have you found anything interesting here?"
Sylas turned to look at Leia and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Me? I'm just admiring how you humans distort and misunderstand the history of our dragon race. But to be honest, there are some interesting perspectives in these ancient books."
Leia smiled nonchalantly and responded, "That's good. Perhaps your insights can help us find a way to decipher this scroll more quickly."
After a thorough search, Leia found a worn ancient book on the bookshelf, which contained symbols and texts similar to those on the scroll. Leia flipped through the pages and exclaimed excitedly, "Here are the answers! This book records some ancient legends and knowledge related to the scroll."
Evan and Minah immediately gathered around, focusing on the ancient book. Leia's fingers lightly traced the yellowed pages, her eyes revealing concentration and curiosity. Evan focused on interpreting the ancient symbols, while Minah used her understanding of magical knowledge to help explain some of the profound content in the text.
With their combined efforts, an ancient prophecy about the dragon race gradually emerged. The prophecy told a story of the intertwined fate of the dragon race and humanity, mentioning the emergence of a hero with dual bloodlines of humans and dragons, who could unlock an ancient secret and thus determine the future of both the dragon race and humanity.
Leia's eyes stared closely at those words, her voice tinged with a hint of shock: "This prophecy... it seems to refer to a descendant of a human and dragon hybrid, who will discover a powerful force capable of influencing the fate of the entire world."
A serious expression appeared on Aiven's face as well: "If this prophecy is true, then Darien may be searching for that person with the special bloodline, or that hidden power."
Sylas Listening to these discussions, he maintained a cold expression, but a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he spoke in a cold tone, "Perhaps it doesn't necessarily have to be a mixed-blood, as long as the dragon race and humans are together, it counts. These prophecies often contain dangerous truths. If such power truly exists, then the one who wields it will have the ability to change the world. We must ensure that this power does not fall into the wrong hands."
Leia nodded firmly, her eyes filled with determination. "We will stop Darien from using the power of this prophecy. No matter the cost, we must protect our world from being threatened."
Sylas walked over, his voice revealing a rare seriousness: "It seems that this prophecy is closely related to the future of our dragon race. We need to understand these pieces of information more deeply."
Just as they were fully focused on their research, a hurried sound of footsteps shattered the tranquility of the library. Leia quickly looked up to see a group of people in black robes rushing into the library. At the forefront was a tall figure, with sharp and cold eyes that landed directly on the scroll in Leia's hand.
Sylas Immediately stood up, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "It seems that our actions have attracted attention. These people are likely to be Darien's subordinates."
Leia tightly gripped the scroll, her body tense, ready to fight at any moment. Her gaze was firm, fearlessly locking eyes with the leader of the black-robed figures.
The leader in the black robe said coldly, "Hand over the scroll, or you will all have a bad ending."
Leia stood her ground, her voice resolute, "We won't let you succeed. The secret of this scroll is something we must protect."
The tense atmosphere quickly spread within the library, and everyone was prepared for battle. Leia knew that the upcoming fight would be difficult and dangerous, but she was determined to protect the scroll and uncover the truth behind it.
Sylas stood by Leia's side, his expression still indifferent, but his eyes revealed an unusual seriousness. He knew the importance of this battle, which not only concerned their safety but also the secret of the dragon race and the entire world.
Evan and Minah have also prepared for battle. Evan's hands shimmer with the light of magic, while Minah softly chants a protective shield spell to safeguard the team.
The leader of the cloaked figures suddenly launches an attack, his figure swift as the wind, heading straight for Leia. Leia reacts quickly, swinging her sword fiercely to clash with the attacker's weapon, creating sparks.
Sylas also joined the battle, wielding his staff and unleashing powerful magic. Each of his attacks was precise and deadly, driving back the cloaked figures one by one.
As the battle intensified, Leia fought side by side with Sylas, demonstrating astonishing synergy and strength. Leia's swordsmanship was incredibly swift, each of her sword dances a struggle against destiny. Sylas's magic, on the other hand, established overwhelming dominance on the battlefield, not only destroying the enemies but also instilling fear among the cloaked figures.
Evan and Minah were also not to be outdone. Evan's magical arrows shuttled through the battlefield, each one hitting its target with precision; while Minah provided support from the rear, her healing light bringing precious vitality to her comrades.
After a hard-fought battle, the cloaked figure was finally driven back. Leia gasped for breath, her eyes shining with an indomitable light.
Sylas Coldly watching the fleeing enemies, a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. As they delved deeper into the secrets of the scroll, Darien's obstruction would only become more intense.
"We need to be more careful," Leia said, her voice filled with determination. "The secret of this scroll must not fall into the wrong hands."
Sylas nodded, his voice still indifferent, but his eyes revealed a hint of agreement: "Indeed. We must quicken our pace and uncover the truth behind all of this."
After the battle in the library, Leia and her team returned to the camp with the scroll.
However, Sylas, this aloof dragon, also revealed his thirst for the truth at this moment. Although he always maintained his proud attitude, in the face of this common goal, he appeared more dedicated and serious.
