When he went out the next day, Li Yao really saw the tall tower in the distance, which was not very large, it was covered tightly by fine vines, and it looked completely dark green.

He squinted at the top of the tower, but he didn't see a dragon-like figure, and he couldn't be sure if there was anyone on it.

It's kind of weird, the fairy tale thing is right in front of you, the dragon of the West is always associated with guardianship, it breathes fire, and it has wings.

Zede patted him on the shoulder: "Don't look at it, the investigation is important." ”

Today, he and Zed were sent to gather more information, while Yang Ming went directly to the tower to observe. Although it is intelligence, it is actually an inquiry, although he now has a convenient identity, but if he shows it everywhere, it will make the residents unable to speak without scruples, Li Yao had to work with Zede, pretending to be a curious traveler, and inquiring from door to door.

The first family to come was a carpenter, building a chair in the small shed between the warehouse and the main house, which is built in many of the houses here, and for the inhabitants these sheds are basically the places where they move the most.

The carpenter was surrounded by axes and drills, and there were some unassembled trusses piled up in the corner, he adjusted the legs of the chair, and after knowing the intentions of Li Yao and the others, he didn't raise his head:

"Young people like you, I've seen a lot, which one doesn't blow himself into a warrior, Ifwaterisnoisy, therearenofishinit, I advise you to go back early, don't give your life in vain!"

The carpenter said a proverb, Li Yao didn't understand, and called for the dog in his heart, but he didn't get a response.

Damn, what about the translation for me yesterday that you said yes?

Zed saluted the carpenter: "We dare not boast that we can get rid of the evil dragon, but since we have come here, we must not return in vain, and as for whether to stay or not, after we know enough about the situation, we will naturally make a judgment." ”

The carpenter glanced at Zed: "You young man is good at what he said, then I will tell you about what I know." ”

"This dragon sometimes goes to the forest late at night, when no one is active, and this is what I saw one night when I was on a hurry. ”

Zed nodded: "It seems that it is worried that someone will take the opportunity to enter the tower when it goes out during the day." ”

"Yes, this dragon is very smart, basically there is no hole to drill, and some people know the news from me, thinking about finding a chance to go in in the middle of the night, but by that time, people are sleepy and have no strength. ”

Li Yao's attention was not much on Long Bulong, he looked at the chair in the carpenter's hand, it looked a bit like that kind of zigzag folding chair, but it was a bit like the letter X, curved, and looked very elegant.

The carpenter noticed Li Yao looking at his chair: "What, are you interested?"

Li Yao replied, "Very beautiful chair." ”

The carpenter smiled: "Even if you have a vision, this is the chair I made for the nobles, the Savonarola chair, which has not been done well yet, and there are still two legs that have not been installed, and it will have to be carved later."

Li Yao nodded on the surface, but he didn't actually understand what he said, anyway, it was probably a high-end chair. The carpenter showed off, and was happy in his heart, so he said one more word:

"Also, about the dragon," said the carpenter, mysteriously lowering his voice, "there seems to be a wound on his right leg"

After speaking, he put on a smug face again: "I didn't tell anyone else about this, today is your luck." ”

"How do you know that?" asked Zed.

The carpenter's face was a little impatient: "I can still lie to you, this is what Ina sued me, what she said is right." ”

"Who is Ina?"

"Ina is Ina Bei, just turn left when you go out of my house. The carpenter waved his hand and returned to the work of making chairs.

The two of them received information of unknown reliability, so they had to go to Ina's house again to ask questions. Ina's house was smaller than the carpenter's house, and a woman was sitting on the edge of the fence basking in the sun, not knowing what she was holding in her hand, flying up and down deftly.

Zed stepped forward and greeted the woman, "Are you Miss Ina, please?"

The woman looked up at Zed, "It's me, what are you looking for me?"

Zede briefly explained what he meant, and Li Yao approached, only to see that what Ina was holding in her hand were two hollow things in the shape of pods, each of which was wrapped with thin white threads, and at the end of the threads, a very beautiful lace had appeared.

"You're here to ask about the dragon?" she said, glancing up in the direction of the tower, "Forget it, everyone is the bones under the tower, and you don't look strong." ”

Zed: "We're just curious, we want to know something, we don't necessarily really want to challenge the dragons. ”

Ina: "Self-knowledge is the best. You know, every once in a while, someone dies for their conceit, and it's great that you can think like that, but why do your companions keep looking at my shuttle?"

Zed: "Oh, he's just traveled with me, he's never seen the world, he's a hick. As he spoke, he patted the back of Li Yao's head: "Brother, I really didn't expect you to be so interested in woven lace." ”

Li Yao was indeed very interested, these crafts were strange and novel to him, he didn't understand Zede's disparagement, but he was annoyed by his slap: "Hey, stop shooting me, I'm just curious, can't you?"

Ina smiled, and kept tricks in her hands, one time to put on her ears, and the other to pull the thread, and at the same time she talked to them with ease: "You two, it's really funny." ”

Zed: "By the way, I want to ask one more thing, about the wound on the dragon's right leg"

Ina's movements in her hand were dull for a second, and then resumed as if nothing had happened, but she also lowered her voice and replied:

"You guys can actually know this, this is also what I know from Agas, but don't tell anyone else!"

Zed gestured to her with a reassuring gesture, "Where does Agas live?"

She raised her hand and pointed: "He is a shepherd, did he see that slope, at this time, he should be with his sheep." ”

When we came to the hillside, the wind was blowing, and a straw hat flew down the wind, and Zed raised his hand to catch it.

Chasing the straw hat was a young man with freckles on his face and a sheep rubbing against his trouser leg.

Zed handed him the hat, "You're Agas, aren't you?"

Agas put on his hat and said in amazement, "You know me?"

Zed explained his intention again, and like the previous two, Agas's first reaction was to persuade them to give up and hurry back.

Li Yao didn't bother to negotiate, and squatted down to look at the sheep, which was a small white sheep with pink ears and a fluffy body, constantly sticking out his tongue and licking the palm of Agas's palm.

Although Agas looked like a young man who was easy to get along with, his mouth was quite strict: "It is true that I sued Ina for this matter, although I swore that I would not sue anyone, I violated the rules, I have already made a mistake, and now, I will not make a mistake again." ”

Zed: "Relax, we just want to know where the news came from, and I swear to the Lord that I won't talk nonsense." ”

Agas: "Oh no, I swore to God, but I still betrayed my oath, and now I have sued you, and I have betrayed again, and my Lord will blame me." ”

Zed: "TheLORDismyshepherd*, I believe that I am here and also a guide from the Lord, so you don't have to be burdened. ”

Agas's face was hesitant, visibly shaken.

Li Yao suddenly interjected, pointed to the sheep and asked, "Why does it always lick your palm?"

was at a stalemate, but when asked like this, Agas's expression softened: "Because I have salt on my hands, it is my favorite sheep, and I am very close." ”

Li Yao boasted: "It's cute." ”

Agas: "I call it Shirley." ”

Li Yao swallowed back the latter sentence "It must be delicious" silently.

Agas: "Well, forget it, I'll tell you about it, and it's the one who made the wound who told me, so it's true." ”

Zed: "You're saying someone came back alive from the tower?"

Agas nodded reluctantly: "Alas, I didn't expect that I still said that person, it is Novan who lives in the mountains." ”

The two of them walked up the hill again, all the way to the grass, the sun was good, and in the shadow of the mountain, small white flowers bloomed.

Above, the grass was noticeably shorter than at the bottom of the mountain, but there was a birch tree, and next to the tree was a simple log cabin.

"You don't look at it, but it's actually somewhat useful. Zed snapped up.

"Are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Praise you. ”

The two had already walked to the front of the house, and Zed knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He knocked again, and there was still no one.

By the third time, the fierce sound of the urn finally came from the room:

"Whoever it is, stay away from my house!"

The voice could be heard to be that of a man, and it didn't seem to have a good temper.

Li Yao shouted at the door, "I'm sorry to disturb—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zed fly up and kick the door open!

He was dumbfounded.

The door panel collapsed, Zed pulled out the saber at his waist, and walked in with a loud voice, with a very arrogant attitude: "Where is the coward Novan - get out of here for Uncle Ben!"

Li Yao followed into the house, and his angry voice sounded at the same time: "You dare to insult my bravery! I will kill you!"

Although the voice was angry, there was no figure, the light in the room was relatively dim, Li Yao saw clearly after a while, it was a person lying on the bed who spoke, half of the destroyed face looked very hideous, and his expression was also twisted terrifying, but he could only lie on the bed.

Zed walked to the bed and snorted contemptuously, the hilt of the sword turned in a circle in his hand, the tip of the sword was just against Novan's throat, and his expression was gloomy and fierce:

"I'll ask you something, and if you don't answer well, I'll let you live rather than die. ”
