Chapter 33: Mamba, Otte! ( Part 2 )
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and Isa suddenly understood, “Because brother-in-law… right?”
Veronica smiled lightly, “You’ve always been so clever, Isa. The Primordial Crystal helps you easily harness primordial power and use more powerful magic. But this thing involves too much of dragon history, and I didn’t want Loisver’s husband to know too much about it.”
“Grandma, do you also think brother-in-law is… mysterious?”
“Yes.”
Veronica turned away, leaning against the railing, gazing at the night view in the distance.
“In just a few short years, Loisver’s Silver Dragon Sanctuary has been invaded multiple times by various dragon kings. That’s not normal.”
“Even if the Silver Dragon Territory is rich in resources, it shouldn’t be embroiled in so many wars.”
“And all of this probably started after León woke up.”
“So, I think… this mysterious man must be hiding some secret.”
“Certainly, he’s saved Loisver and the children many times from danger, and some even call him ‘the hero of the dragon race,’ but similarly—”
“He will also bring danger.”
“Loisver must know this, but… she loves her mysterious husband so much, even if she ends up in danger, I’m sure she won’t leave León.”
“So, I could only give Loisver the Primordial Crystal as a gift, hoping she can master this powerful force.”
“Of course, I’m also giving it to you so you don’t say I’m biased.”
Isa smiled, carefully placing the emerald signet ring set with the Primordial Crystal in her pocket.
“I understand, Grandma.”
“What do you think León’s goal is?” Veronica asked.
Isa thought for a moment, then replied, “My mysterious brother-in-law loves Loisver, and Loisver loves him, that’s unquestionable. But if I were to say his goal… he’s probably waiting for an opportunity.”
“Waiting for an opportunity?”
“Yeah, I think he’s waiting for the right moment.”
Isa said, “You said brother-in-law will bring danger, and I think that’s only half right. Loisver wouldn’t put everything on a man who only brings danger.”
“The charm of that guy is that he brings danger, then resolves it, and gives ‘danger’ an even heavier retaliation.”
“As for why I think he’s waiting for an opportunity, it’s because I feel that one day, in the future, he’ll solve all the current crises and troubles, and even… change the entire world’s structure.”
“With the skills he’s shown so far, I believe he can do it.”
Hearing her granddaughter’s analysis, Veronica nodded thoughtfully. “A mysterious and dangerous man… No wonder Loisver is so captivated by him, your mother was also conquered by your father the same way.”
Isa raised an eyebrow, “Grandma, tell me more, I love hearing it.”
Veronica chuckled, “I’ll tell you more later. The focus now is your mysterious brother-in-law. Since we can’t determine his true purpose, let’s talk about his… origin.”
“Origin…”
“Yeah, or rather… his species.”
Isa was stunned, “Grandma, you mean brother-in-law might not even be from the dragon race?”
Veronica shrugged, “Well, it’s just a wild guess, so let’s guess boldly.”
“Alright, alright, Grandma, you’re getting bolder with age.”
“Do you have any clues, my clever granddaughter?”
Isa tapped her chin, thinking for a while, and then a lightbulb went off in her head, “Got it, Grandma, wait for me.”
With that, Isa stretched out her dragon wings and flew down from the rooftop.
A few minutes later, she returned with paper and a pen.
“I actually have a clue about which species brother-in-law might come from.”
Saying this, Isa spread out a piece of paper and began writing something on it as she spoke,
“The last time we fought Konstantin, I clearly heard brother-in-law refer to his technique as ‘Thousand Birds.’”
“But based on the performance of that technique, it was clearly ‘Thunder Strike.’”
“Afterward, I checked the data and found out that they are actually the same technique, just called differently by different species.”
“And the species that calls ‘Thunder Strike’ ‘Thousand Birds’ are…”
Isa wrote down several species names and handed them to Veronica,
“Running Wolf Tribe, Garuda Tribe, Elven Branch ‘Thunder Elf,’ Mamba Tribe, and… Humans.”
Veronica looked at these names, her gaze lingering for a
moment on ‘Humans’ before shifting to ‘Mamba Tribe,’
“The Mamba Tribe should be a branch of the Giant Serpent Tribe, right?”
“Yeah, this branch is also skilled in using lightning magic.”
Veronica frowned slightly, then shook her head, “I think we can rule out this species.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Although the Mamba Tribe can also transform into humanoid form, most of the time, their human form has dark skin. Your brother-in-law only has black eyes and hair, so he can’t possibly be from the Mamba Tribe.”
On the continent of Samayel, most species transform into humanoid form, but no one knows why this strange biological characteristic exists.
The more scientific guess is:
The human body is the most balanced, harmonious structure and also the form that best reflects ‘minimalist beauty.’
Another, more mystical guess is:
The Creator has the human form, so all species and lifeforms on Samayel ultimately evolve into human-like forms.
Back to the topic.
“Oh, is that so… then we can rule this out.”
Saying this, Isa crossed the Mamba Tribe off the list with her pen,
“Mamba… out!”
…
The next day, the Melkwei family arrived at Sky City.
Loisver had made an early reservation with the same Selena teacher who had taken the photos for Noia’s school entrance exam.
When Selena saw the seven people from the family, she was truly surprised.
Normally, dragon families only consisted of two to three people, and at most five.
But this family… well, anyone who knew they were here to take a family photo would be surprised, and anyone who didn’t might think they were a team set to hunt super S-level dangerous species.
But no matter how many people came, Selena was able to use her professional skills to take the perfect family photo for them.
