Dragon Temple
Returning to the roundtable, the Red Dragon Queen's eyes were a bit red. She sat down and said with a trembling voice, "Everyone, something happened within the Dragon Valley, and I must return to take care of it. My apologies, I may not continue to participate in this conference."
Mountain Sage Heroto was a bit curious. "What happened?" he asked.
Gretel didn't want to tell them because it was her race's own matters. Even if she told them, the Emerald Circle couldn't help. They would only lament about the dragons' bad luck.
Unless it involved the overall safety of the Firuman Realm, the Astral Magicians of the Emerald Circle wouldn't care. They were high up and never acted like busybodies.
But seeing the Mountain Sage like this, a shred of hope rose in her. "A powerful demon appeared inside the Dragon Valley and killed an entire village."
