Chapter 237 The Sorrow of "Rokidu"
The Demonic Rock Dragon followed behind Polyvis, but looked into the distance from time to time.

They were now on a hill on the northern outskirts of Rokidu.

There are some non-aggressive dragon species living in this hill. Although it is located in a remote area, people from nearby occasionally come here to climb the mountain.

The environment is quiet and peaceful. Because the terrain is relatively high, you can overlook the scenery of Rocky City from halfway up the mountain.

Everything here is the same as it was when Polyvis was a child, and nothing has changed over the years.

The Demon Rock Dragon often felt fear and uneasy because of the nearby dragon corpse.

It can leave the troubled place of Lokidu at any time, and even stay away from Dragon's Breath Basin.

The dragon corpse would not really chase a small piece of it to the ends of the earth.

But the Demon Rock Dragon still wanted to follow Polyvis. The worst that could happen was death. Without Polyvis, it would have been drained of blood and energy and sacrificed to the dragon corpse long ago.

Polyvis turned off the main road and into the dense woods of the hills.

On the way, they met a worried elder of the Five Scars.

"Ratvis?" Polyvis called out the other party's name.

The old man, who looked weather-beaten and full of wrinkles, turned around and didn't look surprised when he saw Polyvis. He said, "Sure enough, the person Nofila is waiting for is you, Polyvis."

"My mother is waiting for me?"

The elder sighed and said, "I came to ask for help from Nofila, but it must be very disappointed in us. The faction led by Tiers has done too much to it and other dragon species. We, who have been indifferent and watching for many years, are also accomplices who cannot escape the blame."

"Tyers is dead," Polivis replied.

He failed to kill the man with his own hands, but saw Anti killing him.

"...Is that so? Tiers is dead, so he was the cause of all this?" Ratvis said with emotion.

"Maybe it was me who caused it." Polyvis said lightly.

Ratvis looked at Polyvis in surprise.

"It's a good thing that you are here. I want to thank you for bringing me out of the Breeding Valley." said Polyvis.

Ratvis shook his head slightly, opened his mouth but could not say anything, until he stepped aside silently and said: "Go see Nofila. No matter whether you caused all this or not, since you are here, it means you still have things to do."

After thanking him again, Polyvis led the Demonic Rock Dragon into the depths of the forest.

As we went deeper, the temperature dropped sharply.

The ground was covered with frost and the wind was bitingly cold.

The Demon Rock Dragon felt a little uncomfortable. Except for some dragon species that could manipulate ice, many dragon species were not as resistant to cold as they were to other forces.

But Polyvis was already used to it, as he had been living with this cold since he was very young.

Finally, what appeared before his eyes was a frozen land, surrounded by clusters of ice crystals. The trees were replaced by ice crystals and became the "forest" of this ice world.

When they stepped in, a noise suddenly came out.

The Demon Rock Dragon quickly looked straight ahead.

A huge piece of ice crystal shattered, revealing a gigantic ancient dragon that was several times larger than it. However, in terms of size alone, it was only half the size of the other!
The other party has a sharp front snout, a dragon head that is somewhat bird-like, and a harmonious blend of blue and white throughout its body.

The most prominent features are the two heads with unique long necks.

One blue and the other white, slight sounds of electric current and icing echoed around each other.

If it were in its prime, it would undoubtedly be the strongest dragon the Demon Rock Dragon had ever seen except for the dragon corpse. However, at this moment, the two-headed dragon in front of it was covered with wounds.

Most of them are old injuries that are so deeply rooted that they are about to be dragged into the destination called death.

A sharp and light roar was heard, and Nofila looked at Polyvis with her smart eyes.

"Mother, long time no see." Polyvis said, letting out a breath of white air.

Nofila looked at him quietly.

"It seems that you have anticipated my arrival. Well, I will ask you directly. Did you raise me for the so-called revival of the dragon race, or for your hatred?" Polyvis asked in a deep voice.

One of Nofila's heads moved closer to Polyvis and gently nuzzled him with a sharp front kiss.

The other head was raised high, looking into the distance.

There are no words, but the meaning is fully conveyed.

The dragon race no longer exists.

When Nofira, as the first sub-dragon in the Dragon's Breath Basin, was born from the body of a dragon corpse, he already understood the partial memories inherited from the dead real dragon.

The True Dragon Clan was attacked by both the Ghouls and the Vampires. Finally, the Cosmic Dragon Tiabach sought a chance for the survival of his clan from one of the Miracle Twins in a one-on-one duel.

Tiabach was defeated, and only a few of the True Dragon clan were left.

Although they were protected by the Gemini, the exhausted dragons chose to leave the main time and space of the Chaos Dream World and leave here forever as losers.

Only a very small number of true dragons are attached to this place and do not leave.

The social structure of true dragons is loose to begin with. If it weren't for the birth of cosmic dragons, they would not have been gathered together to share a common hatred of the enemy, and would even have been defeated one by one by interested groups.

The true dragon clan dispersed as losers, so how can these sub-dragons born from the remnants of their bloodline revive in such a predicament?

Tiles was right, they didn't have the conditions to do so.

Nofila also understood.

But even if they are not qualified to be an independent race, they should have the right to retaliate against those who harm them.

During the time when the Tiles faction in Lokidu was at its strongest, Tiles did not even shy away from borrowing power directly from Nofila, the "Mother of Lokidu".

When Nofila learned that Tiers was building a breeding base and creating that kind of breeding room, it tried to use its own sacrifice to gain Tiers' change of heart.

But Tiles agreed on the surface, but continued his plan while holding Nofira's flesh and blood. Then, when the Gods' Chaos was declared over, he came to Nofira and said to her: "My plan strengthened Rokidu, helped the Gods' Chaos to get through, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. With the power we got from you, we created a miracle weapon comparable to yours, and you don't have to worry about this country all the time. Nofira, I am not wrong."

When he said this, he didn't even wipe the dragon blood off his robe.

Other people in Rocky City also agreed with him because he was indeed a hero who led Rocky City to become stronger.

but……

"Nofila, we succeeded. Humans and dragons can coexist. It is true that it is difficult for dragons to generally possess high intelligence, but they are still full of wonders. This is the life of the mixed dream world, and today's humans can tolerate this. It cannot be guaranteed in other places, but at least here, we have done it. 'Lokidu', in my tribal language, means 'coexistence'. I plan to name this place after it."

The man with the bright smile had some similarities in facial features to Polyvis in front of him.

The human man who was favored by Nofila at the beginning, together they opened up a country called Rokidu in this chaotic land.

But now, now...

Nofila's eyes revealed sadness as she stared at Polyvis silently, breathing slightly.

Polyvis saw everything Nofila was trying to convey.

zero.

Nofila's natural life time has reached its last moment, and his ability is not that precise, so he rounds it down.

If it shows zero, it means that the other party will not survive today.

"You hate this place," said Polyvis.

Nofila did not deny it.

It had helped to open up Rochidu and had fought for Rochidu many times during the chaotic times of the gods, but it realized in its later years that it was not really fighting for Rochidu.

Just fighting for that person's original ideal.

It doesn't care about Rokidu, and it doesn't necessarily even care about other dragon species. It only cares about that person.

That person left, and it was willing to stick with it. But after persisting until now, it found that both of their ideals had been trampled upon.

Then, it is better to destroy it.

Nofila's will is now very strong.

But it felt sorry for Polyvis.

"Roar……"

He put all his hatred on Polyvis, but he couldn't bear it, so he gave a high-sounding and false reason.

Was he deceiving Polyvis or was he deceiving himself?
Polivis was silent for a while, then took a deep breath: "The dragon corpse forcibly contained the dragon pillar. It will not only destroy Rokidu, but also the entire Dragon Breath Basin, and even a wider mixed dream world in the future... Of course, you may not care about these mothers."

Nofila winked gently at Polyvis.

"I will face it right away, mother." Polyvis said firmly.

He was not good at speaking and had hardly refuted Tils's previous attacks.

Polyvis knew that people's paths were often different, even contradictory. This was especially true for himself. There were only a handful of people who could stand with him. The power of words was powerless, and only actions could make some changes.

"Perhaps this goes against your purpose, but you can't stop me now. Under your guidance, I have seen too many tragedies. I am glad that I don't hate anything... I have only been a bystander, and my indifferent behavior has gradually become unacceptable to me."

"I am rather clumsy and far from mature. But if I could, I would become the gravekeeper of the dragon race that no longer exists."

As he spoke, Polyvis slowly backed away.

"Besides, even if I don't go, there will surely be someone else who will go and deal with the powerful dragon corpse. The heroes in this world may be far more numerous and more peculiar than what you have ever seen, mother."

As he spoke, Polyvis recalled the scene in his mind where Anti forcibly killed Tiers in the turbulence.

He really envied that kind of confidence and persistence. He could understand why many people in the Sanctuary admired that person so much.

Nofila still has a little bit of strength left.

At this distance, if the final explosion occurs, will there be a chance that Polyvis will be injured so badly that he cannot face the dragon corpse in a short time?

Nofila slowly closed her eyes.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of cold air, and a dragon scale made of ice crystals condensed in front of Polyvis' eyes, with slight electric currents flashing in it.

Under Polyvis's somewhat surprised gaze, Nofila completely prostrated herself in front of him.

The flesh and blood turned into ice crystals, becoming an unmelting ice sculpture, forever frozen in the last moment.

This is the final scene of "The Dragon Queen of Lokidu".

Polyvis calmed himself down, picked up the scales, and then opened the pocket watch in his hand.

The time ring flashed on the ice sculpture, and the time from Nofila's birth to death was engraved.

Polyvis turned and left.

On the way, he saw the elder, Ratvis, who was waiting for his result.

"Nofi pull it..."

"There it goes."

Ratvis had expected this, but he still couldn't help sighing and feeling heavy-hearted.

"I'm leaving." said Polyvis.

"Where are you going?"

"Try to be a hero."
