Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Therefore, they wanted to make changes to avoid giving the new pope a bad first impression.

One person nodded, indicating that everything was ready; the meat was dragon meat, a type of special monster.

Although the body turns to ash after death, occasionally some ribs will remain, which taste absolutely delicious.

The wine is a treasure left behind by the previous empire three hundred years ago, preserved using magic.

If the Pope hadn't ascended to the throne, it's very likely that this would never have been opened, because monks abstain from alcohol.

I wonder which wealthy businessman sent it as a donation.

As for the saintess…

An elderly man with scars on his face frowned, his expression somewhat displeased:

"There's no need to discuss this further. Since the founding of the Church, there has never been a position of saintess."

"And it's a selection process... isn't that a bit too frivolous? What does the Goddess say?"

Da da da.

The man tapped the table lightly and replied:

"The goddess has agreed. This will help her spread her faith and, incidentally, suppress the imperial power."

"It can only benefit our Goddess Church, and not harm it."

The main purpose was to suppress imperial power, and it was one of the suggestions put forward by Ronan.

After all, a church without a saint is too monotonous.

Since the goddess has agreed, some older people, though stubbornly clinging to the past, can only passively accept it all at this moment.

After the event ended, they went to prepare for their respective matters, and the church returned to its usual quiet.

Meanwhile, in another room, Ronan looked at the two people in front of him whose faces were covered with notes he had stuck on them, a faint look of joy on his face.

"I won again."

He opened his palm, revealing that he had no cards left in his hand. Clearly, he had single-handedly defeated both Vlame and Frilian.

Because it was a recreational game, no one used any skills; it all depended on luck and technique.

Seeing this, Vlame pouted, her cheeks flushed red, and she really wanted to say that he had cheated.

Is it reasonable for her to lose ten games in a row?

Fortunately, Frilian was there to lose with her, otherwise she might be crying right now.

Taking a deep breath, Vlame ripped the paper strips off her face one by one, determined to play another round in a fit of pique.

But at this time...

"and many more."

Ronan suddenly raised his head, looking through the ceiling at the sky, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes, as if he were sensing something.

A moment later, he frowned slightly and asked Frillie:

"A dragon has flown in. It's huge, at least 200 kilometers long. Do you know what kind of dragon it is?"

Although he knew there were many dragons in this world, and several would fly overhead every day.

But two hundred kilometers... no matter how you look at it, that's an exaggeration. Even omnipotent sensors can't detect its boundaries.

Frillie was taken aback by what she heard.

She slowly tore the note off her face, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"You're probably talking about the Celestial Dragon, a legendary dragon with a lifespan close to eternity. I've read about it in some books."

"It is said that its back is as big as an island, where some long-extinct creatures and plants thrive, making it a favorite of some herbalists and hunters."

"Of course, these are all hypotheses, because no one has ever seen the true face of the Celestial Dragon."

Has it appeared?

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, and he roughly understood why no one had witnessed it.

At that moment, the word "extinct" reached his ears, giving rise to some thoughts.

Just as he was weighing his options, Celestia also saw the Celestial Dragon.

Without hesitation, she flew up and handed over the affairs of the place to her apprentice.

Previously, she had been struggling because she didn't know how to use flying magic, so she couldn't find an opportunity.

However, now, the opportunity has arrived.

Rather than incurring another favor by Ronan's help, she preferred to resolve the matter herself.

I hope to find the Flame Illusion Flower, even just its seeds would be helpful.

This isn't just about her birthday.

More importantly...

Chapter 132, The Death of the Emperor, Crisis on the Heavenly Dragon Vein; Celeste: My Clothes Are Gone (6k)

"Speaking of which, a hunter? Why a hunter?"

As Celia took action, Ronan recalled Frillian's words and suddenly remembered something.

He raised his eyes and asked Frilian:

"If I remember correctly, aren't the monsters in this world supposed to turn to ashes and disappear immediately once they are killed?"

"Even if there are extinct creatures on the Celestial Vein Dragon, you probably wouldn't get much money from catching them."

Indeed, but this only applies to evolved monsters.

Frillie had read some books, and through her previous interactions with Celia, she knew some secrets that were unknown to others.

Each evolution of a monster is a leap in its level of life, and this leap will cause changes in its physical body.

Magic plays a significant role in inducing these changes. Therefore, upon death, those parts disappear due to the loss of magic.

A prime example is the demon race.

Those that appear to have not undergone evolution will also turn to ashes; in reality, this is due to their previous status as monsters.

As Frilian explained in detail, Ronan's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the doubt in his eyes was gradually replaced by understanding.

Then he learned that some monsters drop items after they die.

In addition to that, there is flesh and blood.

Ronan was very interested in flesh and blood because he was so powerful that he could easily obtain anything.

So currently, apart from his craving for delicious food and some instinctive desires, he doesn't care much about anything else.

He had never actually eaten the flesh of a monster, let alone some extinct monsters.

The level of curiosity is no less than that of eating dinosaurs.

Ronan made a plan in an instant.

—Let's go there.

This is a rare opportunity; it would be a real shame to miss it.

……

A dozen minutes later, on the Heavenly Dragon that flew into the clouds.

With a loud "boom," a huge creature that looked like a dinosaur slowly collapsed.

Ronan looked at it, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

I never imagined that there were actually dinosaurs here.

Although it may differ from the real world.

But at least it made up for some of the regrets in my heart.

After the dinosaur fell, some fresh flesh and blood remained.

Ronan stepped forward.

Later,

He took out the prepared marinade, cut the meat open, sealed it, and then Ronan continued walking forward.

Frilian gathered the herbs and followed behind, while Vlamé, carrying a bunch of tree fruits, hurriedly caught up.

She really liked the environment here; the air was much fresher than down below. Although there were many monsters, thankfully Ronan was there.

He handed a tree fruit to Ronan, indicating that it was very sweet and tasted like watermelon.

"Watermelon?" Ronan reached out and took a look. It was a yellow, square shape and didn't look like a standard watermelon at all, but he still took a small bite.

In an instant, the juice burst in my mouth, and sure enough, the texture was very similar, only slightly sandy.

"Take some back with you when you leave. No wonder Frilian said this place is a herbalist's paradise; there are just so many strange and wonderful plants here."

After quickly finishing the tree fruit, Ronan clapped his hands, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that not many people in this era knew flying magic.

Otherwise, it would be such a pity if humans discovered and ruined this place.

Just as his thoughts were racing, another monster appeared ahead of the road full of tree roots.

Ronan stopped and examined it closely. It was ugly, resembling an alien with a trilobite head, and probably not tasty.

Since it doesn't taste good, there's no need to keep it.

He swung his hand and killed them, then continued onward.

Seeing this, Vlamé's eyes gleamed with excitement.

In her view, all of these adventurous experiences were valuable insights.

When you get back, be sure to tell your teacher.

The teacher will definitely be happy to hear that.
