Chapter 747: Facing the Accusation (Part 2)
"Of course there's a connection. How can there not be?" Manina stared directly at the Red Dragon Queen, eager to hear how these great dragons would try to wriggle out of this.
"Of course there isn't a direct connection," the Red Dragon Queen replied sternly. "In our great dragon clan, when the offspring of dragons living overseas wish to return to Dragon Island, they often give gifts to the direct descendants of the Dragon Emperor and Dragon King.
It's possible that this human from the Blue Star knew about this custom and, pretending to be a dragon offspring, wanted to give a gift. It just so happens that he chose Princess Coco."
Before the Red Dragon Queen finished speaking, the Black Dragon King flapped his massive wings in agreement. "I think what Gari (the Red Dragon Queen's name) said is correct. If the Blue Star human had chosen my son to give a gift, would you be accusing me of colluding with the Blue Star humans?"
The Red Dragon Queen and the Black Dragon King looked at Manina with an overwhelming presence, waiting to hear his response.
Manina showed no reaction to the pressure from the two Dragon Kings.
After all, he was the emperor of the Sun Empire, not someone these two young dragons could intimidate.
He smiled at the two Dragon Kings. "You two, your explanation does make sense. But now comes the problem—how did the Blue Star humans know about this custom when I didn't?"
"About this..." The two Dragon Kings were stumped by this question.
Such matters of returning offspring bringing gifts were not openly known but rather conducted in secret. Even many of the dragons on Dragon Island were unaware of it. How did the Blue Star humans know?
"Is it possible..." The Red Dragon Queen racked her brain. "That after the Blue Star human disguised himself as a dragon and landed on Dragon Island, one of the dragon guards mentioned this custom to him unintentionally, which is how he found out?"
"This is definitely impossible," Manina waved his long sleeves confidently. "More than ten days ago, I already ordered my subordinates to contact the dragon guards who received the Blue Star humans.
From their accounts, they did not mention the custom of bringing gifts to the Blue Star humans. It was the Blue Star human who proactively asked to meet Princess Coco, and they only saw it as a gift-giving gesture.
Clearly, the Blue Star human's goal in landing on Dragon Island was to find Princess Coco. I can be 100% certain of this."
"..." The Red Dragon Queen and the Black Dragon King were at a loss for words.
If what Manina said was true, then...
At this moment, the White Dragon Queen stepped forward herself.
She flew forward three lengths, her eyes fixed on Manina. "Still the same question, do you have concrete evidence?
Coco is my daughter, a direct descendant of the White Dragons. You can't just accuse us based on a few words, can you?"
"We don't have concrete evidence right now," Manina said seriously. "But we can use the 'Mind Search' spell on Princess Coco.
If you're worried that Coco is too young to endure it, we can have Master Victoria cast it, ensuring 100% safety."
The 'Mind Search' spell is a special spell used by Mentalists, similar to the Cleric spell 'Mind Steal' in the Evolution game, both capable of probing a creature's memories.
The only difference is that 'Mind Search' requires the subject's active cooperation for the best results, while 'Mind Steal' forcibly extracts memories, which may result in incomplete or fragmented memories.
If 'Mind Search' is used on Coco, everything will be settled once and for all.
Hearing Manina's words, the White Dragon Queen was startled.
"Let Victoria do it?"
Absolutely not!
Over the past month, she and her daughter have made many preparations. For instance, they have hidden the memories of her meetings with Zhong Feng and Su Yu deep within her mind, so they won't be found by a mentalist.
The problem is, Victoria is an Eighth Rank powerhouse!
If a mentalist below Seventh Rank were to use their abilities on Keke, she might be able to hide it.
But if Victoria, a godlike powerhouse, were to use her abilities...
There's a 99% chance she would see through the deception!
Therefore, no matter what, Keke must not fall into the hands of the Sunflame people!
...
Thinking this, Queen Bai Long quickly replied, "No! I refuse to let you use 'Mind Search' on Keke!"
Then she turned to the Dragon Emperor and the two Dragon Kings beside her, speaking sincerely, "Keke is my daughter, and she is the direct descendant of the White Dragon Clan! Her memories contain too many secrets of our White Dragon Clan, and even the entire Dragon Clan. How can we foolishly reveal these secrets to the Skrull people?"
Hearing Queen Bai Long's words, the other three dragons seemed moved.
The Dragon Emperor, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, "Manina, this is crossing the line! Keke's identity is special; her memories are not for you to see just because you want to.
If we allow this, will you keep finding excuses to inspect the memories of our direct descendants in the future? Do you think we, the Dragon Clan, are your Sunflame people's livestock?"
At this moment, Lanchi, who was standing behind Manina, pursed his lips. He really wanted to retort, "Aren't we?"
But considering the possibility of being incinerated by the enraged Dragon Emperor, he kept his mouth shut.
The Dragon Emperor, Cadrigus, continued, "If you have concrete evidence, I, as the Dragon Emperor, will severely punish those who have gone astray.
But if you have no evidence and still want to inspect the memories of our Dragon Clan, I can clearly tell you—impossible!"
...
Manina's expression remained unchanged as he stood in the air, stroking his chin in thought for several seconds.
After his contemplation, he said, "Fine, we will go find concrete evidence. Lanchi, let's go."
With that, he flew toward the expeditionary force headquarters.
But after flying a dozen meters, he lifted his head and stared directly at Queen Bai Long, his eyes filled with a strong warning:
"Don't think this is over. Don't let me find out you have any dealings with humans again, or else..."
With that, he left with Lanchi without looking back.
...
After Manina's departure, Queen Bai Long and the other three dragons breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure Manina had exerted on them was immense.
Who could make the Dragon Clan weak? They had three Seventh Ranks and one Eighth Rank, and even a Seventh Rank Manina couldn't handle them.
"Juli, return to Dragon Island," the Dragon Emperor said to Queen Bai Long. "This matter is temporarily set aside. Go back to Dragon Island to rest and take care of Keke."
"Understood, thank you, Your Majesty," Queen Bai Long nodded.
"Same for us three," the Dragon Emperor looked at the Black Dragon King and the Red Dragon Queen. "Once the spatial rift's chaos dissipates, we will return to guard the giant spirit spring."
"Understood," the Black Dragon King and the Red Dragon Queen answered in unison.
