Chapter 349: The Dragon of Judgment and Trial

Everything was over. In his own kingdom, the Aminis King, possessing absolute power, had directly cut off all leads, leaving Muria no way to pursue further.

The task of dismantling this human trafficking chain had to be abandoned. Then, the king capriciously sent an envoy to tell Muria: the confession has been given, leave immediately. The rest would be handled by him and was unrelated to the dragonkin.

Thus, Muria, however reluctant, had to give up. After all, this was the limit of his current capabilities.

Muria then dismissed the champions of justice from across the subcontinent and sent away the three ancient metal dragons.

Continuing his journey towards the Vemir Forest of the elves, he encountered almost no obstacles along the way.

His battle with the legendary duke of the Aminis Kingdom had made Muria famous throughout the subcontinent. Muria had indeed faced a legend with the power of soul intent.

In the eyes of most sentient beings, a legend was a legend, and there was no such thing as "watered down" as Muria perceived it. Thus, he became famous in this land.

Although he was still far from being universally known, reaching that level would only be a matter of time.

Now, in the Osniro subcontinent, countless bards used Muria's deeds in the Aminis Kingdom as material to craft stories, which they spread in taverns and marketplaces.

For a mere reward of three gold, eight silver, and thirty-five copper, Muria had unearthed a vile human trafficking chain and slaughtered the involved nobility as if they were nothing.

Such deeds were exactly what the lower-class sentient beings loved to hear about. Every ordinary human who heard of Muria's deeds supported him wholeheartedly, even idolizing him.

Who wouldn't like a being who took up arms against the nobility to defend the lower-class civilians and uphold justice?

As Muria became famous in the Osniro subcontinent, his past deeds were dug up one by one and, under the propagation of many sentient beings, he earned his second title:

The Dragon of Judgment and Trial!

"Lord Dragon of Judgment and Trial, welcome to the Vemir Elf Kingdom." In front of the ancient forest, a silver moon elf maiden riding a unicorn looked up at Muria with undisguised admiration and worship.

"No need for such formality." Muria looked at the solemn treants and the joyful elf ceremonial squads behind the elf maiden, as well as the nearly ten thousand elves who had come to greet him, and shook his head helplessly.

Above him, squadrons of griffon knights in splendid light armor circled, and around him were guarded by over a hundred moon shadow leopard elf knights.

This was the reception Muria now enjoyed. When the Vemir Elf Kingdom learned that the renowned Dragon of Judgment and Trial, Muria, was coming, the Elf Queen immediately ordered a welcome befitting a legendary ancient dragon.

Metal dragons, especially gold and silver dragons, were natural allies of the elves. Whether it was one side or the other, even if they had never met before, they would generally assist each other without question if one was in trouble.

Like Muria, when he was attacked by nobles of the Aminis Kingdom, elven rangers came from far away to help him unconditionally.

Thus, Queen Yarlod Darnasonna of the Vemir Elf Kingdom valued Muria, a rising star among the gold dragonkin.

Before Muria arrived at the elf kingdom, nearly ten thousand moon shadow leopard knights were dispatched from various city entrances of the kingdom in a sweeping gesture of welcome and escort.

Because Muria's whereabouts were unknown, such a decision had to be made. Once the moon shadow leopard knights encountered Muria, they could ascertain his direction and know which city he would enter.

Then, the prepared elf princess and her ready ceremonial troops would be teleported to the city Muria was about to reach, setting up formations for his reception.

"It should be so." Hearing Muria's humility, the eyes of the silver moon elf princess softened even more.

According to the bards, Muria's behavior matched all the fantasies of a hero held by this young silver moon elf. After meeting him, Muria's conduct did not disappoint compared to the tales.

The only dissatisfaction for the elf princess was that Muria's appearance and state did not match the legends.

The Dragon of Judgment and Trial, as told by the bards, was a majestic golden dragon full of authority, and even in human form, he was a valiant and majestic youth.

However, the one before her now looked like a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, even shorter than her. His state was also listless and lethargic, unable to summon any energy.

Even if it didn't match the stories, the greeting elf princess did not deny Muria's identity. The occasional overwhelming

 aura that leaked from this legendary gold dragon, now and then, was enough to prove his authenticity.

Feeling Muria's continuously growing strength due to swallowing the hearts of three elemental lords, which he couldn't control well, the elf princess believed this was a power that could rival legends.

"Lord Muria, are you injured?" Muria's condition made the elf princess, who already admired him, worry.

In fact, the elves speculated that Muria was injured and had specifically come to their kingdom for treatment. After all, sustaining difficult-to-heal injuries while facing a legend with a soul intent body was understandable.

The elves were world-renowned for their beauty and the versatile tree of life.

"Injured?" Muria paused for a moment, accustomed to thinking in his sleepy state, and realizing the elves' misunderstanding, he stated his purpose.

"I came to the Vemir Elf Kingdom to meet with Queen Yarlod Darnasonna, to use the transcontinental teleportation array, to travel to the Nociaro Eu subcontinent."

"You want to leave Osniro?" Hearing Muria's intention, the elf princess exclaimed in surprise, her voice filled with astonishment and regret.

"Yes!"

Following this, Muria smoothly met Queen Yarlod Darnasonna of the Vemir Kingdom. When he expressed his desire to travel to the Nociaro Eu subcontinent, the queen did not even make any demands and agreed immediately.
