Alex left back for the palace afterward, constantly wondering about what he had learned.
The Azure Dragon was alive just 500 years ago, and he had been seen by regular folks. Has that been an illusion perhaps? To show the people that their ruler was still alive?
Alex didn't believe that was the case. Especially because the poison had been strong enough to kill the poison master himself. A regular saint could not have cleared that up in that case.
It had to be the Azure Dragon himself. But if that was the case then… he had to have been alive just 500 years ago.
Then… how was he dead?
The headmaster had told him the dragon was injured, so… maybe it had lived until now. But then… why was it dead now?
Surely the White Tiger wasn't wrong.
Alex thought for a while about this, but he eventually had to stop caring. He wasn't going to get the answer from just thinking, and asking wasn't going to work as the death of the Dragon wasn't made public yet.
