Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 342 - Sara's Suspicious Act!

If used wrongly, then he would be exposed and his benefit would expire. "Sooner or later he would be suspected and exposed, but it's better to later than sooner for me."

He then thought about the city building process. "I don't lack ores to build it, and the population problem is solved by my large population inside the garden plus what I will snatch later on."

He then paused, as he recalled one single problem here. "Do you know if the walls could be enlarged or not?" he asked his system about this problem he was now facing.

The walls were now embedded with the pillars, both were linked to the underground Ley Lines' diagram. Expanding the walls now became an issue as he couldn't depend on normal means to do it.

"Ding! The walls now have special circumstances, yet the current walls can expand to cover triple the size of your current city."

"That's interesting, then what about later? How can I expand them?"

"Ding! Use more pillars to the walls and you will gain more space. This is the rule now."

"Nice," he smiled as now he had some implication of his pillars. Despite losing five hundred pillars to his city, his garden still held much more than that!

And he also used tainted pillars, which would be a different case when using purified pillars.

As he reached the mine, the next thing he did was to examine its surroundings. "Strange, I can't see any portal around here," he muttered as he also found no such portal near his city when he was collecting his pillars.

"Where did all these worlds go?" he muttered, as he was skeptical about this. He wanted to add more worlds to his garden, as he wanted his garden to turn into a world of its own.

"Sigh, I just hope they aren't hiding so good not to be found."

The presence of such danger was something he didn't hope for, but he would ask Amelia to send patrols to scan the area around the city and mine just to be more safe.

"Come out," the next moment he started to take the people inside his garden in patches. In the next half an hour, the entire mine was now crowded by workers as it was before.

"Go and secure the walls," Tina gave the orders the moment she appeared in the mine area. She seemed quite absorbed in her role to be a general of an army, a scene that made Arthur shake his head helplessly.

"Where is Sara?" she flew over to stand beside him just next to the building holding the portal to the star map. "I don't know," he replied before adding, "did she say anything weird before leaving with Lilly?"

The face of Tina changed as she started to squeeze her mind, looking for an answer to his question. "She seemed quite distracted when we were inside the garden. I thought she was speaking to herself like a crazy tigress, but never thought of anything at this time."

"Speaking to herself?" Arthur repeated her words before asking, "do you recall any of what she said?"

"They do all crazy stuff, like I won't tolerate this, and complain about her current life. Oh, she also said something about a cave."

The eyes of Tina shone brightly as she hurried to add, "this cave seemed quite important to her, like a secret. The moment she spoke about it loudly she turned around to see if anyone noticed. As usual I feigned ignorance, as I didn't care about her own crazy mumbling!"

"A cave?" he muttered again, trying to recall if he saw any caves here before. "I never saw one around here. Caves need mountains to exist, and no mountains here but all are in the city."

He was very puzzled now! If she wanted to go to a cave then she had to pass the city, yet she left once she came out here. Meaning that cave is nearby here!

"I think she said it was an underwater cave," Tina suddenly said after a long moment of contemplating.

"Underwater cave… that might be possible," he knew where to look, as he recalled the place first discovered nearby here. "Can she have a system?" he asked his system while he was on his way to that place.

He sent a bird's wing back to Amelia who returned the message with a rough map showing the place of the small army his scouts found at first nearby here. It wasn't that close actually, as he needed four hour of flying in a different direction than his city.

But his guts told him that he was heading to the right place.

"Ding! It's possible."

This short answer of the system changed everything, as he now had this possibility and with it many questions rose up in his mind. "If she became a danger, then as I rescued her life I can easily kill it off."

He had made up his mind, as he was so patient with her for such a long time. Now he wouldn't tolerate her rebellious attitude anymore!

"I just hope to be my ally," he preferred this option much better than having such enmity with her. After all she helped him a lot, especially with his star map.

He went towards the direction marked on his map. In four hours he spotted from far the great river branch running there, and on one of its banks he spotted a small pond diverting from the river.

"It's there, I can feel it," he said to himself before taking a tour first around the place. The forest extended to cover everything around the pond, except for a kilometer around the shores of this small pond.

As for the pond itself, the water looked quite calm with no waves or current. "This pond looked suspicious," he said to himself before he decided to hide in the forest, and wait.

To be sure she wouldn't feel his presence he cancelled his transformation. He lied on a thick branch of such a long tree, supervising over the entire crescentic shaped shore of this pond.

He waited patiently for hours, while he was quite vigilant of anything moving around him.

Away from astray weak monsters, he found nothing of concern. "Is this the right place?" After six hours he asked himself this question, especially when the sun was heading south, and the night was closing on him.

"If it went dark, I would be forced to turn into a dragon," he shook his head as his dragon eyesight was much better than his human one in darkness.

Just one hour later, and as he was seriously considering transforming, the surface of the pond suddenly was stirred up. Giant waves started to appear all of a sudden from its center, with a whirlpool forming where the water level was lowered in this place than others.

Then a large statue was raised from the depth of this pond. It had a cylindrical base with a shape of a monster on its top.

"This isn't the shape of her monster, or Olor's monster," he muttered as the statue showed the shape of a different monster.. "It's a dragonair's statue!" Once the statue was raised high enough from the pond he managed to clearly spot it in the dying rays of the sun.
