Lucius grew serious.
"I've been trying to figure out exactly who the Iron Dragon is for a long time. I admired you greatly back then, so I invented a new form of the Iron Dragon, very similar to the one on display in Gaia."
"Are you from Gaia?"
Lucius ignored his question and continued. "Over time, as I investigated, I discovered that there was a single person whose ranking hadn't changed in 250 years… Upon further investigation, his origin was unknown. His whereabouts were even more so. Only the Ranking gave me the clue that he were still alive and had remained so for more than 250 years…"
"In the early years, he was a standout ranker. But at some point, he plateaued. He managed to climb a few spots after that, until he couldn't climb any higher."
The Iron Dragon frowned… that sounded very familiar.
