I, Who am Pampered by the Great Dragon, Shock the Magical World Novel - Chapter 24
Chapter 24: The King’s Shock and Gul ‘Ba’s Guess!
After signing the Master-Servant contract with Philomena, Prescott finally felt at ease and handed Sade over to her.
To be honest, although she really wanted to continue holding Sade in her arms, in her current form, it was too dangerous.
She would not be able to attend to his needs in her dragon form.
If she was holding him, he would hold her back from using her full strength in her dragon form and that may have terrible repercussions if something went wrong.
Especially because they were in the large basin deep within Magical Beast Mountain Range that she lived in.
Although it wouldn’t be fatal, but if she were to face the combined attacks of many King-tier Magical Beasts in her human form, she would not be able to fend them off easily.
Therefore, Philomena’s appearance made Prescott let out a sigh of relief.
After the matter here was over, Prescott planned to directly return to the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
.
To be honest, she was more resistant to entering the human territory now.
Just as she was about to fly away with Philomena, she saw one of the freed human women on the ground hurriedly chasing after them, hoping that the dragon would accept her as a servant.
Prescott still did not understand what these people were trying to do.
In the human world, power dynamics were quite complicated. There were only three human empires, but they all spoke different languages and many of them did not speak the common language of the continent.
Fortunately, after Philomena cast a spell on them, Prescott more or less knew what these people were thinking.
She realized that Sade and Philomena might need servants to take care of them, so with that thought in mind, Prescott finally accepted them as her servants.
Finally, she let the Green Jade Python carry them all to the Great Basin in the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
…
Prescott had left not long ago.
What they didn’t know was that when Prescott released her there, Countless Magical Beasts that had been scared off, rushed towards the human kingdom!
This gathering instantly turned into a wave of Magical Beasts that were extremely terrifying to humans.
Such a wave of Magical Beasts had not appeared in Herlock for hundreds of years.
This really scared the King of Herlock.
He quickly mobilized all the armies in the kingdom and even requested the adventurers to participate in the battle!
He also ordered Gul ‘Ba, the kingdom’s chief mage and a Magister, to come over to help in case he was needed.
After one or two days of hard fighting, the tide of Magical Beasts finally calmed down.
Just as they were cleaning up the battlefield, some adventurers who were collecting materials ran into a group of female mages who were using leaves and vines to cover their bodies.
At first, they thought that these were slaves who had escaped from somewhere and were prepared to capture them to exchange for a reward.
But after the female mages explained what was going on, they finally understood.
They then hurried back to the Herlock kingdom and requested to see King Herlock.
After they reported all the information they knew, the King of Herlock, Ellis Herlock, was completely dumbfounded.
He had never expected that these mages were part of the 600 strong group, led by a powerful warrior, who had set off to take care of the Long-Boned Apes.
He had thought that such a lineup was enough to fight a war, he never expected them to be mostly wiped out!
“What?!
“You said that there is a King-tier Magical Beast among the Long-Boned Apes?
“The expedition team was wiped out because of the Long-Boned Ape King attacked you by surprise at night?
“Are you kidding me? Even if it is a King-tier Magical Beast, how could it wipe out so many of you?
“My Philomena… Where is she?!
“Damn it! You know that the tide of Magical Beasts this time almost broke through the kingdom’s gate?!”
King Herlock, Ellis Herlock was extremely angry. He roared at the battered female mages in front of him!
Even at this time of crisis, these damn guys were still talking nonsense!
He suspected that there were spies from other countries among these mages!
At this time, outside the hall, an old man with a long beard, who was dressed luxuriously and holding a blue magic staff in his hand, slowly walked in.
As the old man entered, King Ellis Herlock quickly took a deep breath and spoke to him in a friendly manner.
“Chief Gul ‘Ba, you’re here.”
Gul ‘Ba bowed and replied, “Your Majesty, what happened to make you so angry?”
Gul ‘Ba was a little confused, in his opinion, Ellis Herlock was considered a kind king.
Not only was he good to his people, he also had great talent in politics.
After all, this was a country close to Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Therefore, it was already very good for Ellis Herlock to be able to maintain stability within the kingdom.
Even if the large-scale tide of Magical Beasts came this time, this king did not put his daughter’s safety first, but the safety of his people.
It was precisely because of this that Gul ‘Ba was willing to assist him.
“It’s like this…” Ellis Herlock quickly told Gul ‘Ba all the information he knew.
But Gul ‘Ba, who was a Magister, was also stunned.
“A King-tier Magical Beast? Are you sure you’re not joking?”
Gul ‘Ba was stunned. He glanced at the female mage in front of him.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pulled out a young female mage from the crowd.
“Beth, you tell me. As my disciple, I know you are an honest and steady child.”
Sally Beth was a young female mage who was around 20 years old.
She was one of Gul ‘Ba’s magic apprentices a few years ago.
This time, she joined the team mainly because she had advanced to a beginner-level mage.
Gul ‘Ba wanted her to go out and experience how magic was used in real life settings.
“Yes, teacher.”
Slowly letting out a sigh of relief, Beth slowly told him everything that she had experienced during this period of time in detail.
From the time they went to the mountain range of magic beasts, to when they had found the Long-Boned Ape tribe, until they were captured.
She then told them about how a King-tier Green Jade Python had attacked the Long-Boned Ape King.
Then, she spoke in detail about what had unfolded with Prescott, the baby and how the Long-Boned Ape King had recommended himself to raise a baby, but was thwarted by Princess Philomena.
Then, she talked about how the Long-Boned Ape King was tortured and killed. And finally, she talked about the dragon appearing and taking away the Princess.
She also cast a spell to replay her memories for others to see the entire process clearly.
Although they wanted to save the princess, they were powerless in front of the dragon!
No matter how many people they had, it wouldn’t be enough.
“Where did you say a dragon appeared?!” King Ellis’ voice was unusually loud.
He was already very surprised when another King-tier Magical Beast appeared.
He didn’t expect a dragon to appear. This was like the plot of a story!
Gul ‘Ba was also very surprised.
But unlike King Ellis, Gul ‘Ba believed that his apprentice wasn’t lying.
But the more he thought about it, the more Gul ‘Ba couldn’t understand why a dragon would appear.
As for what his apprentice said, the dragon was there to learn how to raise a human.
Gul ‘Ba could not believe it at all.
Dragons were powerful creatures that existed above all living things. They simply didn’t care enough to talk to the weak.
When Gul ‘Ba was young, he had once encountered a young Black Dragon with his teacher.
That kind of contempt and disdain towards weak creatures, as well as the arrogance that emanated from their bones was something that Gul ‘Ba could never forget.
It was impossible for such a creature to raise any creatures other than baby dragons!
He immediately dispelled this conjecture, and his thoughts began to go elsewhere.
“Could it be that the appearance of this dragon was to incite a tide of Magical Beasts to attack humans?”
