Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

Chapter 445 An Unsolved Mystery

Jacques had just woken up and he was confused. Unconsciously, he reached for his dragon-bone spear, only to discover it was missing.

"Now, where is my spear?" questioned Jacques feeling the panic welling up.

His dragon-bone spear was extremely important to him, and he had a connection to it after owning it for such a long time, which was why he discovered so quickly that it had gone missing.

"Is it in your space ring?" asked Elder Xu curiously.

Elder Xu and Kenneth had glanced around and didn't see Jacques' dragon-bone spear either and wondered if he had put it away.

"No," responded Jacques, but, then he wondered if he could be wrong, so he searched his space ring, and still didn't find it. "Impossible! How could my dragon-bone spear just vanish?!" exclaimed Jacques, giving Zen a suspicious glimpse.

Zen motioned to Jacques with a wave indicating he didn't have anything to do with it.

"Jacques, what happened when you and Zen were battling? Why did I hear a dragon roaring?" Elder Xu enquired about the incident again, even though he'd asked Zen earlier. What Zen told him hadn't made him feel any better.

Jacques racked his brain trying to think, 'Where did I put my dragon-bone spear?' He remembered that he was stunned by the roar of the dragon as soon as he started fighting with Zen, so, the details of his fight with Zen were fuzzy.

"I... I don't recall. I can remember the deafening sound of a dragon roaring, and the fight with Zen, but, beyond that, everything is a blur. I don't even know what happened later," Jacques said, shaking his head as he tried in vain to remember anything more.

Jacques' account of what happened relieved Zen because he would've been in trouble if Jacques told them it was Zen that made the dragon roar. Zen had previously used his demonic life vitality to block their vision, and that would raise suspicions since Elder Xu and Kenneth were both pretty smart guys. It wasn't easy to fool them.

"The roar comes from within your dragon-bone spear, right? Why's it so powerful? Is it because the explosion of your dragon-bone spear caused such a powerful dragon roar?" Since Jacques couldn't remember any details, Elder Xu offered some suggestions.

"That's right?" What Elder Xu said made Jacques hesitate. Although he couldn't remember what had happened, the final roar was far louder than what the dragon-bone spear had done previously. The shock of the roar was like a red-hot iron poker being seared into his heart, and he'd probably never forget how it felt.

'But, where did that last roar come from?'
