Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 285 Erihog declares a righteous break with the Dragon King
Audrey really didn't expect that Susie would be here, in this place with its towering stone pillars and swirling sculptures of dragons of the soul.

Even the Mind Dragon itself was stunned.

This... what is going on?
As one of the three oldest and only three ancient dragons still in existence, He has seen most of those so-called relatives and descendants.

But he didn't recognize any of these sculptures.

While to humans, all mind dragons may look similar, the differences are enormous for Erihog, who is himself a mind dragon.

Clearly, these are all dragons that someone has imagined out of thin air and that do not exist at all.

Especially the dog in the middle, which He saw as a blatant insult.

Not only was he placed alongside the Mind Dragons, but he was even placed in the position that should have belonged to the Imaginary Dragon Angelweid?
Look, look at what's written on that pillar?
A dog of daydreams!

They're using Dragon Language!
Since the death of the "Ancient Sun God," the dragon race has not seen anything so humiliating to them for over two thousand years!

His eyes suddenly turned fierce, and his wings spread out, blotting out the sky and gleaming with a bronze light.

He was an ancient dragon without any "anchor," and was the kind of person whose emotions were easily agitated.

How could such a thing happen in front of Him!

He knew this dog was Audrey's pet.

Although it is unknown why He cannot access Audrey's deep memories, He knows perfectly well who the members of her family are.

Originally, He had only noticed that Audrey possessed an aura similar to Adam's so-called "Potion of Fate" when they first met, and intended to inquire about it.

The result was that something that was undoubtedly provocative actually happened.

But in the next second, He composed himself.

I was momentarily blinded by the humiliation, but now that I think about it, things seem completely wrong.

He wasn't stupid; He knew Audrey couldn't possibly do such a thing, even though He sensed that Audrey's "magical girl" outfit seemed to possess a slight bit of "miracle worker" authority. But Audrey herself was too weak to exert any effect; she simply couldn't distort dreams so easily.

Combined with Audrey's prayer just now.

A self-destructive force that devours ideals...

So, is that "Mr. Devil" watching right here?
A four-part honorific name...

Erihog knew far more than Audrey. He was well aware of what this format of honorific title meant. The meaning it represented was on a completely different level from that of the Lord of Storms, which, although it was four sentences, was essentially a three-part structure.

Old days...

He initially thought it was just Audrey talking nonsense, but since it could actually connect to something...

Erihog's eyes suddenly became clear.

It's like a recent college graduate.

A dog of daydreams? A dog of daydreams is good.

Who says this dog is no good? This dog is fantastic!

What we need is a dog that dreams.

The dreamer of sequence zero is a dragon, not a dog; that's the problem with the dreamer.

How could it be the fault of the old master?

This dreamer really doesn't know how to handle things; justice has been cut off. I can guess the dreamer's gender in a second.

This being from the past did nothing to Him, only altered the content of the dream. This indicates that He didn't feel much interest in Him.

That's true, it's just a second-tier position, there's basically no need to care about it.

Erihog relaxed again and decided not to hold Audrey accountable.

But since nothing's wrong, you can still ask the original questions.

As Audrey looked up, Erihog folded its wings, emitting a mixture of booming and buzzing sounds:
Do you know about the Destiny Potion?

It was undoubtedly speaking the language of dragons.

This is a language that humans have been trying to imitate but have never been able to, but what humans have learned has always been a simplified and simulated version.

This is normal, because humans simply do not have the vocal cords needed to produce the dragon language.

To speak the true language of dragons, one must be able to produce at least five sounds simultaneously.

Although Audrey had never learned the proper language of the ancient dragons, in this dream, Erihog's words were directly translated into the simplest of thoughts.

He had originally intended to let the little girl, who had a slight understanding of dragon language, guess what he meant.

but now……

How could Erihog, one of the oldest dragons, do such a despicable thing?

Upon hearing the question, Audrey remembered that Mr. Devil had never asked them to keep it a secret, so she felt there was nothing to hide and nodded, saying, "I know."

Anyway, Mr. Devil has monopolized the raw materials.

I don't have what you need here.

But... how did he know?
How did he know I had the "Destiny Elixir"?

Just as Audrey had these thoughts in mind, she heard the Mind Dragon opposite her speak: "The consciousness within each mind is exchanging certain things with the ocean of the collective unconscious, and this Destiny Potion is a very special existence, a mysterious existence that has never appeared in this world before."

"And I happened to have met someone who had also taken this 'Destiny Potion' not long ago. It left a deep impression on me."

“When you are exploring the ocean of the collective unconscious and are not far from me, I can naturally sense this.”

This is far beyond my capabilities; it seems something a demigod couldn't accomplish...

Audrey couldn't quite imagine just how powerful the other side was.

“I correspond to ‘Insight’ in Sequence 2.”

Erihog patiently explained.

He delighted in answering the questions of young humans troubled by riddles. Knowledge should circulate, not be hoarded.

I'm very useful...

Killing him wouldn't be worth it...

I need to escape... to survive...
