Capítulo 158: Welcome to your new life (III)
Sanctuary with the Elves
Darkness is brewing over the newborn Drezo Regalia species. The new King of Terra had decreed that the Draconis Library be returned to its rightful place. Nullification of the contract is in the process by the King of Terra. He is seeking ways to take over the Draconis Library with force or dark magic. An old alliance is still in place with the Drezo Regalia and the elves. Moving the Draconis Village to the City of Elements is best for help.

A self-preservation mode has gone into effect for the Draconis Village. Camouflage mode has temporarily gone into effect for thirty days. Flight mode has increased temporarily to 23 hours a day. For one hour, the Draconis Village must land to replenish its magic. New destination City of Elements. All Drezo Regalia has a bonus of speed and concealment. Newborns cannot leave the land of Draconis Village till they reach level 120. Lava Magic is churning out special dungeons that are being formed around the Draconis Library. The rate of New expansion of land is increasing by three times the normal amount till the end of the three months.
Zero was alarmed at the self-preservation mode that the Draconis Library suddenly went into effect. Just from reading the letter from the new King, the living Draconis Village seem to have a mind of its own.
"Did I just see this correctly? We are in self-preservation mode?" Agnis spoke out.
"No. You're not reading it wrong. I got the same message as you."
"If that's the case, we need to split up and gather as many things we need at the Town square before we go. So drop me off at the Town square?"
"Okay. We'll meet each around when the sun sets. I got some other things I got to do as well."
With hurried steps, he left the Draconis Library and out into the Village. His destination was one place to find the city soldiers disrupting the Draconis Village. He spotted them in front of the general store arguing with a citizen of Draconis Village.
"This is the property of the Royal Kingdom of Terra." A soldier spat as he pushed the store owner aside. "You better let us get what we want. Do you know what would happen to you if you said no?"
The downed store owner seethed in anger. "We, the citizen of the Draconis Village. You have no right over us."
"Citizen of the Draconis Village? What ludicrous words are you spouting? The land that this Library sits on is the land of the Kingdom of Terra. You all are the citizen of Terra. What makes you think you guys have the right to form a new village apart from the Kingdom?"
"The sky you soldiers see is not the King's. We, citizens of Draconis Village, have the freedom to live in the sky. However, our stay on the Kingdom of Terra soil is temporary."
"Temporary, you say? Nonsense." The soldiers went over and knocked over more
fruits and vegetables. He kicked pans and even threw glass bottles that shattered into pieces.
"You obey the rules of the New King. If you do not, it is called Treason!"
"Stop!" Zero yelled. He glared at the soldiers that were creating a commotion. The soldiers turned around to see who had the galls to stop them in their tantrums.
"What do you want, kid? Don't you see we are busy here?"
"Don't you see what you do makes others despise you?"
"Despise us? They are learning to respect us."
"Not from where I am standing."
"Leave us alone and go play with your toys. We have much better things to do than entertain a child."
"I am not a child."
"Oh really? From what I see here, you look like a kid."
"Look doesn't always tell everything about one's age. Plus, you are not welcome here in this Village anymore. So leave when I am asking nicely."
"Pft. Hahahahaha." One of the soldiers burst into laughter as he held on to his side. The other soldiers followed suit as they could not believe this kid was telling them off. Citizens of the Draconis Village that were gathering around the commotions glared at the soldier's rude behavior. Even the visiting players grumbled disdainfully at the soldier's attitude and action. Finally, they whispered among themselves and shook their heads.
"I should've known that there are soldiers like that crawling around at the bottom of the barrel. What a despicable bunch."
"I thought the Kingdom of Terra's soldiers were known for their chivalry. Was this all a lie?"
"I'm not contracting out any more of the soldiers. I don't want them to ruin my store's reputation."
"Yea."
"Why are they picking on the Draconis Village? Did something go wrong?"
"No. I heard the King decreed that this Village was part of their property."
"What really? I thought it was a whole separate thing."
"It is."
"Would that kid be alright? He's standing up to the soldiers."
"Wait, I think I know who that is. Isn't he the Chief Librarian and the one who runs the Draconis
Village?"
"I think you are right."
"He looks so young."
"He's so brave."
"Isn't he supposed to be the first dragon?"
"I have heard about that too."
"Really? A dragon. I want to see a dragon. I saw one up close."
"Hurry up and change! Let's see your dragon form!"
"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"
The voices of the people were full of disappointment, anger, confusion, and concern. Others were excited when they learned that Zero was a dragon and cheered for him to change. Even the visiting players were curious about what would happen next between Zero and the soldiers. The soldiers stopped laughing and scanned around the crowd, confused. They look at each other, waiting for what to do next.
"Look. I don't want to fight. I would appreciate it if you leave quietly."
"Who does this kid think he is? The King? Should we bow now?" The soldiers chuckled among themselves. "This kid is looking down on us as if he is the king." The soldier came over and pushed him against the shoulder.
"All I'm asking is for you to leave the citizen of Draconis alone."
"We don't listen to pipsqueaks." A soldier shoved him hard. Zero stumbled backward and fell onto his hands.
"Hey, that was unnecessary."
"What are you going to do? Spit out the fire?"
"I'm asking you nicely. Leave before you get hurt." Zero slowly got up.
The soldier that pushed him hard pushed him again, making Zero fall backward onto his hands.
"This pipsqueak has the nerve to tell us to leave. We don't care who you are. This is the property of the Kingdom of Terra. You should leave."
Zero sighed and thought, These annoying gnats that fly around him like pests won't leave him alone. He would give them a chance to leave without causing a scene. They had pushed him too far. He would not take offensive remarks from these soldiers if they didn't understand the word respect. His patience was running very thin, and he wanted to negotiate civilly.
"Kahahahha. This kid is a riot. What do you think you are, a king?" The soldiers kicked him hard against his chest. Wind knocked out of him as he cringed forward. The pain was sharp and sudden; even though these particular soldier levels were much lower than theirs, it still punched him.
"I'm telling you" Hot steam escaped from Zero's body. The soldiers stepped backward in unease.
"To leave," Zero's hands started to shift and change into a black claws. His skin turned black like charcoal with gold markings. His body shifted quickly into his dragon form. Large and strong with beautiful feathery-like scales. Golden horns protruded from his head, and his face shifted
into a long snout. Sharp rows of teeth jutted out of his mouth, making him look scary.
His body towered over the soldiers as he looked down upon them with gleaming golden eyes. A puff of smoke escaped his mouth and surrounded the soldiers like a python. Then, with a deep throat rumble, he stared down upon the soldiers as if they were insignificant ants. The soldiers screamed in fright as they were stunned by the sudden change. They could not believe that they would see a dragon here of all places. They thought the supposed black and gold dragon was just a rumor the people had created.
