Bab 58: Chapter 58: The Best Decision
The fifth generation of the Luo family had only one girl, Luo Jinghong; the rest were boys. Hence, there was no need for any tricks like marrying her off through an elaborate scheme.
Especially when Selene and Irene revealed their identities.
The Eastern Continent had extensive interactions with other continents and naturally knew about the Northern Continent's famous Five Dragon Gods, one of whom was the Moon Dragon.
Even though the name of the Contracted Mage of the Sage Dragon, Belserion, didn't immediately come to mind, their earlier interactions and behavior indicated that they were no ordinary individuals.
Irene had a more resounding title in the Alvarez Empire, "The Scarlet Despair," but since she had already left the empire, she didn't mention it.
The most surprised was Luo Jinghong herself.
If Selene and Irene were the Moon Dragon and Wise Dragon, then who exactly was Aegon, who ranked above them?
The Aegon she had been secretly observing was still leisurely sipping tea in the main seat, with Meira standing behind him.
Irene didn't want to waste time here. She got straight to the point, pointing her antler staff at Luo Jinghong:
"I'll be direct. We want her to come with us."
"Can you give us some time to consider?"
Irene casually replied, "Ten minutes."
Before leaving, Luo Jinghong glanced at Aegon, who was drinking tea, then followed the main group out. For a moment, only Aegon and Irene's group remained in the inner hall.
Aegon had lost interest in the so-called "Gun Saint" old lady and shook his head slightly, "Weaker than I imagined."
Based on his estimation of the old lady's magical power, her experience was around fifty thousand.
She had the magic power of a Saint Ten Great Wizard, but at over a hundred years old, there was nothing impressive about that.
Excluding bugs like August and Zeref, all humans experience a decline in physical functions as they age, and besides magic power, there's not much to boast about.
Selene crossed her legs and smiled, "That's normal. Here, without the rampage of dragons, there's also less motivation for progress."
Selene immediately thought of Fa Dragon.
The rise of Elefseria and the Dragon Magia Dragon was driven by hatred under the oppression of dragons, growing rapidly.
"Actually, I'm not very interested in her anymore."
Amid Irene and Selene's teasing glances, Aegon added, "She will age. Look at her ancestor, and you'll understand."
Irene chuckled, "It's simple. Dragon Slayer Magic. Remember the Dragon Slayer Magic we found in the castle?"
The reason Elefseria appeared old was that he was already old when he learned Dragon Slayer Magic.
Once the Dragon's power is mastered, the appearance is maintained after reaching adulthood.
The Dragon Slayer Magic book Irene tried to teach Mera and the others couldn't be learned because their bodies were weapons.
Dragon Slayer Magic essentially transforms body organs into dragon organs, which Mera and the others lack...
Selene's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Great idea. Moreover, Elefseria is known for having the most extensive knowledge reserve. If she successfully cultivates Elefseria's heart, she can use it to locate the weapon capable of slaying the Five Dragon Gods—'Athena.'"
"The most important thing is, even if you want to find someone, as long as the magic power is strong enough, you can. Elefseria's magic is almost like a law."
Irene and Selene had already read that Dragon Slayer Magic book, which might be the world's earliest Dragon Slayer Magic.
It appeared over four hundred years ago but had many limitations, allowing only one person to learn it.
"In other words, once she transforms into Law Dragon and refines the heart, she can find the location of Ignia or Aldoron."
"Exactly."
Selene and Irene explained to Aegon in harmony.
Aegon wasn't very optimistic and shook his head, "But she must be willing to learn."
They could force Luo Jinghong to learn Dragon Slayer Magic, but if she slacked off and claimed she had no talent for it, they would have no solution, unless they threatened the Luo family.
Selene wagged her index finger, "No, I think very few women can refuse eternal youth."
"True."
Selene's expression reminded Aegon of those fantasy novels where girls fight over... youth-retaining pills.
As their conversation ended, the Luo family also reached a decision: Luo Jinghong would leave with Aegon.
This was Luo Jinghong's personal wish.
She was a very decisive woman.
The so-called martial arts competition to choose a spouse was just an excuse she came up with, and the age restriction was to prevent old men from taking advantage.
Although Aegon's age was unclear, he at least looked like a young man and fit Luo Jinghong's aesthetic preferences.
Just like her great-grandfather who ventured out with Xia Chen, she now faced a choice.
Selene, the Moon Dragon, was a household name in the Northern Continent, and Irene, as they found out during the ten-minute break, was Irene Belserion, the Mother of Dragon Slayers!
Though they didn't understand why the Moon Dragon and the Mother of Dragon Slayers were together, it wasn't her concern.
Following them, although the future was uncertain, offered better opportunities.
The Eastern Continent was too peaceful, like stagnant water, which was why she learned other continents' languages and planned to leave for training after placating her parents.
She didn't know if this would be her only chance in life.
So she wanted to seize it.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Jinghong made her decision, "I'll go with you."
Aegon directly took Luo Jinghong out of Lingdu, choosing not to attack the old lady, giving face to this decisive woman.
Her decisiveness was evident in another aspect.
The first thing she did after leaving the Luo family with Aegon was to look at the Luo family residence, then turn to Aegon and say, "Katherine, please call me Katherine from now on."
Surprised by her decisiveness, Aegon chuckled and nodded, "Alright."
Aegon initially thought the name would be awkward for most people when they returned to the manor, but she changed it herself.
Irene's goodwill towards Katherine increased. She was reluctant to force this woman and instead sought her opinion, "Dragon Slayer Magic, are you willing to learn it?"
"Just to be clear, mastering Dragon Slayer Magic to the extreme will completely transform you into a dragon, but it has benefits, like eternal youth."
"For example... this." Aegon turned his right hand into a dragon claw and extended it to Katherine.
Dragon transformation? No wonder I couldn't hurt him before...
Looking at the menacing black dragon claw, Katherine was silent for a long time. After taking a deep breath, she nodded firmly, "I am willing!"
Selene flipped her hand, and the Dragon Slayer Magic book appeared out of thin air.
"This book belongs to you now."
Katherine reached out with both hands, solemnly accepting the book, looking at the Dragon Slayer Magic book.
She knew she might have made the most correct decision of her life.
