Chapter 124 Gate of Hell
"Slaying a dragon?!"

Charles, unaware that his uncle Prince Edward had sided with Dior, was somewhat bewildered.

He looked at the restless young man in front of him, his eyes twitching slightly as he asked doubtfully, "Brad, are you sure? There are satellites everywhere in modern society. If there were dragons, we would have discovered them long ago."

"That's what our ancestor Gawain said anyway."

Faced with these people's doubts, Brad spread his hands and decisively brought out his backer, saying, "He said that since a new round of celestial conjunctions is about to begin, then as the first non-human race to arrive in this world, dragons will definitely revive one after another."

"In that case."

Upon hearing this, the British high-ranking officials present exchanged somewhat embarrassed glances, as there was only one solution they could think of.

We can only ask their little witch to help with the divination again.

So when the Duke of Percy, who was in the North, arrived in London with his two sons, his heart sank.

Not only did they miss the opportunity to meet their ancestor Gawain because of a flight delay, but the illegitimate descendant who was fortunate enough to be possessed by the spirit of their ancestor also received strong support from the royal family.

“That bastard Charles definitely did this on purpose.”

The old duke was furious, but he quickly guessed the reason.

After all, the Percy family had always been the de facto rulers of northern England, and throughout history, they had rebelled against the royal family countless times.

Although in modern times, the influence of both the British royal family and the Percy family has greatly diminished.

But this subtle relationship between the two has been inherited.

Charles must have been worried that if his family obtained real supernatural power, it would threaten the status of their royal family, which is why he considered vigorously supporting this illegitimate descendant.

"It seems that for the sake of the family's rise, we must be ruthless this time."

Thinking of this, the old duke sighed and glanced at his eldest son, who was originally the legal heir of the Percy family, but whose status was now uncertain.

He then shook his head and, driven by a private driver, arrived in the city center, at Hyde Park, which was now under strict security by British Royal Guards.

In less than a day, this place has transformed from a park into something more like a primeval jungle.

A large amount of ivy climbed all over the park, creating a lush and vibrant atmosphere.

And on the ground, in this season that is about to enter the cold winter, pink verbena is in full bloom.

In Celtic legends, this was one of the favorite plants of their prophets.

Burning it allows one to communicate with the gods, and the purity and nature it symbolizes can ward off evil.

And when Duke Ralph Percy arrived here with his family.

Because Emma's parents were taken to a safe military base outside London the previous night, and her daughter-in-law, Princess Kate, and daughter Charlotte spent the night with them, Emma, ​​who had a good impression of the gentle and intelligent princess, agreed to their request.

Emma was kneeling beneath a tall oak tree covered in verbena, a sheep charm around her neck that could enhance her magic. She lit the bundles of verbena once more, crossed her arms over her chest, and began to pray.

As white smoke with a special fragrance rose, the magical divination scene reappeared before everyone's eyes.

And this time it's not about ancient history; the scenes are filled with modern buildings and towering snow-capped mountains.

"Mom, it's Iceland. We went skiing there."

Princess Charlotte, who had insisted on coming to see Emma's fortune-telling, pointed excitedly at the familiar building in the picture. Unlike this ten-year-old girl, the other people in the park immediately became serious upon seeing the tall snow-capped mountain in the picture.

Most people recognized which snow-capped mountain or volcano in Iceland it was.

Hekla volcano is also known as the Gates of Hell by Icelanders.

Because it has erupted 1104 times since records began, it is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes.

There have even been several massive eruptions in history, with huge amounts of volcanic ash being ejected into the atmosphere, causing a drop in global temperatures several years later.

"Could it be that this volcano erupts so frequently because there's a dragon inside?!"

At that moment, most people in the park made this connection and stared nervously at the divination screen.

As Emmanuel chanted prayers, the camera zoomed in, approaching the crater of Hekla volcano.

But just as people could almost feel the scorching heat and followed the divination images into the interior of this active volcano...

Suddenly, a deafening, violent dragon roar emanated from the divination screen, exploding in everyone's ears.

"Hoohoo!!"

Everyone in the park turned pale instantly; the young and the old were knocked unconscious by the dragon's roar.

Young or middle-aged people who are in their prime also suffer. In the roar of the dragon, their minds go blank and their bodies tremble instinctively.

Brad was the only one who was not significantly affected.

Even Emma's face turned pale at this moment. With the dragon's roar shattering the divination image formed by smoke in mid-air, her temples throbbed with pain, as if she hadn't slept for more than ten days. She could no longer hold on and fainted.

"Emma."

Mr. and Mrs. Grant, who were also watching from the park, reacted much faster than many of the young soldiers, rushing forward with anxious expressions.

But before they could get close to Emma, ​​the tall oak tree that stood there quietly stretched out its branches, wrapped the unconscious red-haired girl up, and hid her in its dense and broad canopy.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted in Hyde Park, London, due to the dragon's roar.

Precisely because of its danger, the foot of Hekla volcano has become one of the challenges for many mountaineering enthusiasts.

A group of climbers who had camped here, preparing to rest for one night before conquering this 'Gate of Hell', were now frozen in place, their minds blank, no matter what they had been doing just moments before.

It took them a long time to recover from the tinnitus they had been experiencing. They gathered together, their faces filled with disbelief, and asked, "Did you hear a dragon roar just now?"

"I thought I was the only one who heard it."

A blonde girl with some freckles on her face, but a good figure and temperament, held her forehead, still feeling a little dizzy and weak all over.

Seeing this, one of her suitors was about to step forward to comfort her.

But at that moment, the ground suddenly began to rumble and shake.

To the disbelief of the climbers, the snow-capped summit of Hekla volcano, which was not expected to erupt anytime soon, began to emit billowing black smoke, from which molten red lava spewed forth.
