Volume 1 [Flame Chapter] Dragon Death Chapter 117 Prelude to the Dragon's Nationality
"Father, here we are!"
Luo Sijie waved excitedly at Luo Heng not far away and shouted, from the intertwined emotions of exhaustion and excitement on her face, it could be concluded that her mental and physical strength were close to exhaustion.
Even though she was still able to run seemingly effortlessly with Ye Gu, almost in an instant, she rushed to Luo Heng's side without any respite.
"Thank you for your hard work, my daughter, and Lord Yegu. Luo Heng stretched out his hand to enchant Luo Sijie's forehead, and then clenched his fists and bowed to Ye Gu.
Similarly, Ye Gu also tried to return the salute to Luo Heng in the ancient way of the empire, but with both hands outstretched, he realized that the cannon given by Wu Ji was too huge to be taken off. Ye Gu had to make a gesture and said apologetically: "Patriarch Luo, I'm sorry I can't give you a salute, look at this." ”
"Haha, if I guessed correctly, this is the mechanic's masterpiece. I remember that a few months ago he brought this thing to me, and told me to equip it for his own soldiers, saying that he would definitely be able to defeat a hundred. But I didn't say yes at the time. Luo Heng smiled.
"Why? I feel more powerful than a normal Imperial Firebolt. Moreover, the material of his steel can play an effect that surpasses that of black silver, which is indeed unique in the empire. Ye Gu stretched out the cannon, stroked it and said to Luo Heng.
"He has too few shells, a lot of power but no sustainability. Do you know how many bullets the average Imperial Gun has?" Luo Heng asked.
"How could I not know. I grew up in the Imperial Military Institute, so naturally there is nothing unclear. ”
"How much?" Luo Heng smiled.
"In the beginning, there were only six rounds of ammunition, but after the technical improvement, it was increased to 12 rounds. The most powerful weapon in the empire, known as the royal weapon, can fire a total of twenty-four bullets. But I look at the six-pointed star shield, and these people have at least twenty firearms. ”
"Well, it does. Compared to this thing, which only has five shells, we really don't dare to equip it. Luo Heng knocked on the cannon and said.
"yes, but do you know how to take it off?" I was a little anxious when I took it, and didn't ask much. Ye Gu said a little embarrassed.
"Haha, look here, between these two dragon patterns, you press it down, and then make a fist. ”
Luo Heng said, stretching out his finger and pointing at the bottom of the steel body of the gun. Ye Gu saw that there were two shallow thin dragons formed by silver material plated on steel.
The thin dragon spewed out a straight line of flame upwards in the shape of a breath, and between the two straight lines, Ye Gu touched it, and there was a faint feeling of depression.
"Right here?" asked Ye Gu, pointing to the dragon pattern.
"That's right. ”
As Ye Gu's left hand pressed hard, he clenched his fist with his right hand. The cannon did not fire shells as before, but folded upwards where it was pressed.
After a few clicks, the fold runs up the elbow until it reaches the fingertip.
Since he had never used this type of machine, when the cannon folded straight to a steel ring slightly wider than the width of his palm, the elastic force was too great, and Yegu did not hold it steady, but after several failed attempts to catch it in the air, it fell heavily to the ground.
"Poof!" Luo Sijie on the side couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ye Gu making such a funny move.
However, under Luo Heng's squinting eyes, he forcibly held back.
After picking up the ring formed by folding the cannon, Ye Gu felt a little embarrassed and handed it to Luo Heng.
"This is your mechanic's thing, I can only borrow it, and return it to its original owner. ”
"No need. I understand Wu Ji, and he doesn't give things away easily. He will only give you something if you agree with his ideas, or if you can truly accept his point of view. Take it, don't return it. Luo Heng said, and pushed the cannon back into Ye Gu's arms.
While speaking, Luo Sijie suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted to Luo Heng: "Father, look over there, is Wu Qi leaving?"
Looking in the direction of Luo Sijie's finger, right in the center of the dragon ruins, behind the ruins tower, the sky was full of loess and sand and dust, wrapping the terrifying steel giant beast before.
Even though they were on the edge of the ruins, they could still hear a loud roar in the distance, and ethereal words from top to bottom.
"Lord Luo, I'll go back first. As agreed, I'll meet the dragon with you tomorrow!"
After the words were finished, with a distant roar, the airship rushed headlong into the dark clouds, and with the words, disappeared into the temporary battlefield that was not very quiet.
"Then you go back first. Luo Heng looked at the airship and said in a low voice. Even though he knew, Wu Ji couldn't receive his reply.
"Lord Luo, there are a few more things I have to do in the past two days. Ye Gu turned to Luo Heng and continued.
"Oh, what, what's the matter?" Luo Heng said a little distractedly.
When the airship and Wu Ji left just now, he stared in that direction and lost his mind, and Ye Gu's sudden reminder made him not react for a while.
"Long Qingman still has twelve days to complete, but we only have five days left. In addition to the two-day and two-night train, there are still three days left. During these three days, I must understand the relevant information of "Dragon Book", as well as deal with Ye Mingyuan's affairs, he must return to the imperial capital safely. ”
"Three days? It's a hurry, but it's still a lot of money. Jie'er has already taken you to what you want, "Dragon Book" and that dragon, both are easy to do. Now come back to the Nandu Military Station with me, the two things you want to do are over there. Let's go!" Luo Heng said, reaching out to take Ye Gu's hand and walking to the side.
Faced with Luo Heng's move, Ye Gu was stunned at first, but then did not resist, but followed Luo Heng, and the two of them walked one after the other, and walked to the vicinity of the dozen or so war horses that the people of the Luo family had temporarily gathered.
Ye Gu knew in his heart that with Luo Heng's character, this represented a kind of trust. Sometimes, there are emotions that are not spoken by the mouth, but the unintentional is already revealed in the behavior. And those emotions that come out of the mouth of sophistry often lose the word truth.
"Father, I'll go with Lord Yegu. Seeing this scene, Luo Sijie also followed and asked Luo Heng.
"It's not your business, you have more important things to do. Do you remember that early this morning I said that I was going to send a letter to the imperial capital to explain the situation?" Luo Heng turned his head and asked.
Luo Sijie didn't answer, just nodded softly.
"It's good to know, now you and Ye Ran will go to your own headquarters together to supervise their contact with the imperial capital. It is estimated that it will not take more than a day and a half to get the news of the imperial capital, and if you have news, you will come to the military station as soon as possible. Ye Ran, take the young lady back, and then do what you should do!" Luo Heng ordered in a stern tone.
However, Luo Sijie and Ye Ran did not object, and after saluting, they mounted their war horses and galloped towards the verdant place.
"Lord Nalo, we can ......"
"Patriarch, patriarch, those people on the six-pointed star shield ......"
Before Ye Gu could finish his words to Luo Heng, a soldier dressed in an imperial soldier's uniform and wearing the Luo family's totem badge on his chest reported to Luo Heng breathlessly.
"Slow down, what's going on, speak slowly. Luo Heng patted his subordinates on the shoulders and said softly.
However, the soldiers of the Naluo family did not seem to be relieved from the fear and tension they had just seen, and their eyes still seemed to be listening to the chilling image just now.
"Patriarch, you still come and see...... Look. The soldier stammered.
"Lord Ye Gu, will you go over first?"
"No, I want to see what's going on over there. The six-pointed star shield itself has a lot of weird things, and it doesn't matter how many there are. Ye Gu replied.
The mysterious and strange curiosity in his heart inadvertently rose at this time.
Following in the footsteps of the two of them, Ye Gu soon saw the supporters of the six-pointed star shield who were surrounded and captured by forty or fifty soldiers.
However, these supporters did not worship and yearn for the dragon and the leader as much as before, and instead sat around without a master. For some reason, their eyes do not see the eyeballs or the whites of their eyes, but a strong purple color that fills all parts of the eyeballs.
Some of their supporters even began to babble nonsense, grabbing around with their hands weakly.
"Dragon, dragon, two weeks, the dragon will come......"
"You, buried...... Death ......"
"The Book of Dragons" narrates...... Vanishing ......"
Hearing that these supporters were illogical, but there was some kind of nonsense with some kind of information, Ye Gu's heart was suddenly shocked.
The sporadic words "dragon", "dragon", "death" and "disappearance" seemed to plant a strange seed of curiosity in his heart, which was about to lead him in an unknown direction. In front of his eyes, an endless darkness seemed to rise, and in the darkness there was an inexplicable giant hand that was grabbing his throat, making him unable to breathe.
"When did they do this?"
Luo Hengdi's question broke Ye Gu's thinking and brought him back to reality. However, his perspective still did not take away from the purple eyes of his supporters.
"Report to the patriarch, just now we have arrested all these traitors, and are going to let them go here and take them back first. But I don't know how, one of them, well, it was him, suddenly shouted, and then something in his body exploded. ”
"What did you shout, what did you blow up?" Hearing this, Ye Gu suddenly came back to his senses and asked.
"Did you shout something?" the soldier scratched his head and thought, "Oh, I remember, it was said that the six-pointed star shield failed, and the Dragon Book is still there, and they all have to go back to the dragon clan and wait to be released." And then a cloud of purple smoke came out of the eye and exploded around the body, and then one by one they were like that. ”
"I'll see. Luo Heng said, stepped forward a few steps, and stepped into the crowd of six-pointed star shield supporters.
"What's your name, do you remember what you just said?" Luo Heng asked, patting one of them on the shoulder.
It's a pity that the six-pointed star shield supporter just had liquid flowing from the corners of his mouth, smiled awkwardly, looked at Luo Heng with purple empty eyes, and didn't answer any questions.
Luo Heng asked several people in a row, and the situation was all like this, with only slight differences.
"These traitors. It seems that he has been in collusion with the dragon for a long time. They don't know the dragons' desire for control and greed, and even that bit of brutality has a score of seven or eight. You don't care about them, and first cooperate with Ye Ran, who is waiting to come, to clean up the battlefield. Finally send them back to prison. There is no point in judging anymore. Luo Heng ordered, and stepped out of the crowd of supporters in a few steps.
"So there is no trial?" asked Ye Gu.
"They chose to run away, and I couldn't help it. Luo Heng replied.
"Then go to the military station, I want to see the "Dragon Book" in the hands of your Luo family with my own eyes. From the Consulate to the present, everything points to this thing, and you may have obtained a Pandora's box. ”
"Really, the magic box that the Westerners say? haha, interesting. Luo Heng smiled bitterly a few times, and then said: "Then let's go, the "Dragon Book" is in the military station. ”
With that, the two of them rode together on the imperial war horses in the southern capital, accompanied by several Luo family soldiers, and galloped in the direction of the Nandu military station.
All they left behind was a few strands of yellow sand that had disappeared into the verdant border, which could not be dissipated for a long time.
