With the awakening of the Gem Dragon, the long-sealed room instantly became mysterious and filled with power. The dragon's body was immense, stretching tens of meters, and its body, covered in magnificent scales, shimmered with dazzling light in the dim glow, as if countless gems were embedded on it, shining brilliantly. These scales seemed to tell untold stories, each one containing millennia of secrets and power.
The Gem Dragon's eyes were deep and wide, like two shining stars, reflecting not only its wisdom but also revealing an undeniable dignity. When its gaze fell upon Leia and her team, they felt an unfathomable power, as if it could penetrate their innermost souls.
The dragon's appearance carries a sense of majesty and sacredness, as if every breath it takes is synchronized with the entire world. When Sylas's enormous wings gently flap, the storm it brings almost sweeps everything in the room away. Whenever its wings slowly unfold, the air in the room seems to freeze, intimidated by the immense presence of this creature.
Beneath Gem Dragon's lofty dragon head, the sound emanating from deep within its throat is not only a deep and rhythmic chant, but also echoes from ancient times, recounting lost legends, ancient wisdom, and forgotten secrets. Its voice seems to possess a magical quality, causing listeners to involuntarily fall into contemplation, recalling the distant past of this land.
For Leia and her team, this was not just an encounter with a legendary creature, but more like a marvelous journey through time and space. They couldn't help but feel both fear and awe, facing this witness of an ancient civilization, their hearts filled with questions and curiosity. This dragon was not just a creature, but more like a piece of history, a living history book waiting to be explored and interpreted.
At this moment, Leia, although filled with fear, also felt an unprecedented excitement. She knew that they were standing at a turning point in history, and this encounter would change the fate of her and her team. She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and prepared for an extraordinary conversation with this ancient Gem Dragon.
In the face of this colossal creature, Leia felt incredibly small. However, she knew she couldn't show any fear at this moment. Taking a deep breath, she summoned all her courage and began to converse with the Gem Dragon.
"Noble Gem Dragon, our visit was unintentional," Leia's voice was firm and clear, despite the uncertainty and worry filling her heart.
Gem Dragon's gaze lingered on Leia, and his eyes seemed to shimmer with a strange and elusive light, showing both curiosity towards Leia and contempt for human intelligence.
"You short-lived creatures are truly puzzling," Gem Dragon spoke with a deep and mocking voice, "always so blindly and foolishly venturing into places you shouldn't. Tell me, do you really think you are worthy of conversing with a being like me?"
Leia bit her lip, knowing she had to tread carefully to avoid angering this ancient and powerful creature. She humbly replied, "We understand that our actions may have offended you, noble Gem Dragon. But we are driven by curiosity and a pursuit of knowledge. We seek to learn more about the past to better understand our world."
The Gem Dragon sneered as if unconcerned by Leia's words. "Learn? Understand? How much can you pale and fleeting lives truly comprehend? I have traversed the stars long before your ancestors swung from trees."
Gem Dragon Although there is a hint of disdain for humans in his words, there is a faint glint of interest in his eyes towards this group of humans. Their curiosity about ancient times seems to have touched a sliver of his dormant memory, evoking some recollections of his past.
His voice suddenly softened, but still carried a hint of mockery: "Since you are so enamored with the shadows of the past, perhaps I can give you some guidance. But don't forget, the path to seeking the truth is often full of thorns. Are you sure you are ready to face the truths that may overturn your understanding?"
Leia and her team members looked at each other, knowing that this was a significant decision that could change their perspective on the world. But it was their thirst for knowledge and truth that drove them. Leia nodded firmly, expressing their determination to uncover the secrets.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gem Dragon's mouth, as if feeling a hint of surprise at the human's courage. "Humans are truly strange creatures, always eager to touch those unknown secrets, even if it may lead to their own destruction."
Leia seized the opportunity to say, "Noble Gem Dragon, our world has indeed experienced great changes. The connection between humans and the dragon race has become increasingly distant. We hope to rebuild this bond and explore the link between the past and the future."
Gem Dragon gazed at Leia, his eyes seemingly carrying a hint of probing. "Humans always like to claim peace and coexistence, but I have seen too many wars and betrayals born out of personal desires. Tell me, do you truly only desire peace in your hearts? Or are there hidden ulterior motives?"
Leia answered without hesitation: "We do indeed long for peace and coexistence. We hope that by understanding the past, humanity will learn to respect and cherish, and convey the wisdom and power of the dragon race to this world."
Gem Dragon fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Well then, let me hear your story and see if your hearts truly match your words."
At this moment, everyone in the team felt a slight sense of relief, which meant that they had successfully piqued the interest of this ancient creature. Perhaps they could really learn some valuable knowledge from this Gem Dragon with its ancient wisdom.
The atmosphere in the team was slightly tense, but Leia's composure brought a sense of reassurance to everyone. She adopted a humble posture and said to the Gem Dragon: "Respected guardian of the dragon race, you are such a majestic and powerful being. We are eager to know your name so that we can show proper respect to you."
Gem Dragon's gaze lingered on her, then she coldly smiled. "Humans are always so fascinated by names and titles. You may call me Sylas. This name once left a deep mark in your human history, although I doubt whether you still remember that period of history."
Leia was slightly taken aback, but then replied, " Sylas, we thank you for granting us the honor of speaking with you here. We indeed know little about many ancient knowledge, but we are eager to learn and understand."
Leia seemed somewhat satisfied with Sylas' response, but his tone still carried a hint of disdain. "Humans always desire to surpass their limits, yet often overlook their own limitations. Your courage is commendable, but courage does not equate to wisdom."
Leia maintained a humble posture and continued the conversation with Sylas. "We indeed have much to learn. Sylas, could you tell us more about the dragon race and ancient civilization? We hope to better face the future by understanding the past."
Sylas's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. "Do you really think you can understand the depth of ancient wisdom? Humans always think highly of themselves, yet they are unaware of their own ignorance."
Despite Sylas's sharp words, Leia was not intimidated. "We know our limitations, but that won't stop us from seeking the truth. Only through learning and understanding can we grow."
Sylas fell silent for a moment, as if weighing Leia's words. He ultimately decided to share some knowledge. "Long ago, the dragon race and humans coexisted in peace. We shared our wisdom and helped humans establish a prosperous civilization. But as time passed, human greed and selfishness began to show, ultimately leading to the conflicts and contradictions between us."
Leia listened to Sylas's words, filled with deep emotion. "This history is an important lesson for us. We hope to repair our relationship with the dragon race, and rebuild trust and respect."
Sylas sneered. "Humans are always good at saying beautiful words, but actions are the true touchstone of truth. I will observe you and see if you are truly trustworthy."
