Chapter 22: Dragonstone
"Isn't this the same as what the monkey trickster said before..."Xiao Ye muttered.
"Dragons, the horrible big guy from a few days ago?" asked a man.
"That's it!" said a partner next to the man, "That big guy is the dragon clan, I have seen it in the book, and the dragon clan is like that!"
"Didn't the book say that the dragons were extinct?"
"I don't know, but the monster that appeared a few days ago has wings dozens of feet wide, as well as that strange lin pattern, plus that chilling pupil, it must be a dragon!"
"But even if it's a dragon, it didn't attack our Red Mountain Town, so what does that have to do with that weird cry?"
"That's right, Lord Commander, the dragon clan didn't stop at Hongshan Town, what does it have to do with the scream?"
Facing everyone's questions after analysis, Han Lie seemed to have been prepared, straightened out his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Dragon Clan did not stop in Hongshan Town, but only passed by, but the relationship between it is also very important, its appearance is like a medicine primer, so that the night of Hongshan Town is not peaceful?"
Listening to Han Lie's words, everyone below was at a loss.
Even Xiao Ye and Qian Ning were in a state of confusion.
"You said that this commander is quite capable of pretending, and he always likes to sell off when he speaks. Xiao Ye quipped with his hands around his chest.
Qian Ning glanced at him and said, "You said that he was so good and that he was so good, and now you say that he is pretending?"
“...”
Han Lie, who was on the elevated road, glanced at the people below, and said solemnly: "Everyone is the old man of Hongshan Town, Hongshan Town has a legend of hundreds of years, and the history of it will not be forgotten, right?"
As soon as they heard Han Lie's words, some of the older middle-aged or elderly people were shocked, as if they knew something.
And some young people and children are still at a loss.
Xiao Ye also turned his head to Qian Ning and asked, "What is the history of Hongshan Town, do you know?"
"No... I don't know..."Qian Ning shook his head.
Qian Ning has never been interested in history, and she is usually more interested in some jewelry, but she almost doesn't want to listen to history.
Han Lie also seemed to see that some people were still at a loss, and said with a smile: "Presumably some young people don't know yet, so I'll explain it to you here." ”
"Hongshan Town is a relatively old town in the Empire, and it has a history of about two hundred years. ”
"I want to think about it..."Han Lie pondered for a while and said, "This matter has to start from the moment of everyone's ancestors. ”
"At that time, the dragons existed in the continent, and they were born with divine power, and in front of us humans, they were like monsters that could destroy the world. ”
"Although the dragons were recognized as the strongest race in the continent at that time, due to their poor reproductive ability, the dragons were relatively rare, just the opposite of us humans, and they were the least numerous races on the continent. ”
"If humans are lucky enough to pick up a piece of dragon scales, they will make a powerful weapon, or armor with extremely high defense, these are the differences between us humans and dragons. ”
"At that time, Hongshan Town was still a wasteland, and the ancestors of Hongshan Town found many scattered dragon scales on this wasteland, so Hongshan Town at that time became a treasure in the eyes of humans. ”
"Over time, countless human beings have come to this wasteland to hunt for treasure, and if they pick up a piece of dragon scale, it will be the price of thousands of gold coins, and this treasure land has made the humans living nearby red-eyed. ”
"Because Hongshan Town was a wasteland at that time, countless people began to build houses in Hongshan Town for the convenience of treasure hunting, and later heard that this wasteland can dig up dragon scales, resulting in more and more houses being built in the wasteland, and finally it became a small Hongshan Town. ”
"Although people can dig up a lot of dragon scales every day, no one knows why so many dragon scales suddenly appeared in this wasteland, until one day, suddenly a dragon appeared. ”
"At that time, the dragon clan represented power and terror, and when the dragon clan suddenly appeared, all the people living in Hongshan Town were frightened, they didn't expect that picking up dragon scales would actually attract the real dragon clan. ”
And at the moment when the dragon clan appeared, there was also a strange cry from the ground of Hongshan Town, as if it resonated with the dragon clan that suddenly appeared. ”
"But the dragon who came to Hongshan Town did not harm the humans, but only told the humans who lived in Hongshan Town at that time that they were buried under the Red Mountain Town, and warned the humans not to disturb his friends by digging up the dragon scales underground, otherwise they would destroy the entire human race in Hongshan Town. ”
"As soon as the human race heard the dragon's warning, they dared not obey, so from then on, no one dared to dig the land of Hongshan Town, and they also covered the land with stones, so that their descendants could not dig it. ”
After listening to Han Lie's explanation of the history, everyone present suddenly realized that the strange cry was from the dragon clan under Hongshan Town.
At that time, due to the sudden extinction of the dragon clan, there was no similar situation in Hongshan Town, and now the dragon clan flying over the head of Hongshan Town suddenly appeared, causing the resonance of the dragon clan to be emitted underground every night.
After listening to Han Lie's explanation, surprise also appeared on Xiao Ye's face.
"I didn't expect that there was a dragon buried in the ground of this small Hongshan Town..."Xiao Ye sighed.
Qian Ning was also surprised, she didn't expect that Hongshan Town still had such a history.
For some residents of Hongshan Town, they were also quite shocked to hear this history, and they had actually lived on the cemetery of a dragon for so many years.
"That's... Is there a solution to this, Lord Commander?"
"That's right, Lord Commander, no one expected the sudden appearance of this dragon clan, but how can the dragon clan buried in the ground stop his resonant cry. ”
Everyone asked Han Lie questions one after another, and since Han Lie knew the reason, he should also have a solution, and everyone still had some expectations in their hearts.
"The solution, in fact, our empire has long thought of it for everyone. Han Lie smiled and said, "Those who have read books about the dragon clan should know that the dragon clan will not disappear after death, it will only die physically, its power and soul will not dissipate during its lifetime, it will concentrate on its bone marrow, and its bones will condense a gem called dragon stone." ”
"This dragonstone represents the soul of this dragon, as long as we use magic to calm the soul inside the dragonstone, this strange cry from the underground will naturally stop. ”
Hearing Han Lie's method, some of the young residents became a little excited, "Does the Lord Commander have a way to calm the souls inside the Dragon Stone?"
"Absolutely. Han Lie said.
"Then what are we all waiting for, hurry up and dig out the dragon stone, and we can live in peace!"
"Yes, yes!
"Don't worry, everyone!" Han Lie stretched out his palm and said, "After a day and a night of hard work, our empire has already dug the dragon stone out of the ground, but..."
Han Lie paused, and the expression on his face became a little solemn: "It's just... Yesterday the dragon stone was stolen by a thief who didn't know where it came from. ”
"Ahh
"If the Dragonstone is stolen, won't we have to endure the weird screams?"
Hearing this news, everyone became a little panicked, such an important thing was stolen, and I am afraid that Hongshan Town will not have a quiet night in the future.
Xiao Ye listened to Han Lie's words, and his gaze became a little weird and stared at Qian Ning.
"You... What are you looking at me for? What's the matter with me!" Qian Ning muttered.
"The gem you stole can't be the legendary dragonstone..."
"I... I do not know. ”
"It must be you, otherwise who else can steal from the Imperial Barracks?"
"I... How do I know it's Dragonstone... Whereas... And who told this empire to put something as important as dragonstone in the barracks..."
Xiao Ye looked at Qian Ning a little speechless, if the dragon stone is not placed in the barracks, where else can it be placed.
To be honest, Xiao Ye began to admire Qian Ning a little, this girl was able to steal such an important thing in Han Lie's military camp, it was really a set.
"Lord Commander, if the Dragon Stone had not been quelled, would there have been such strange cries in Red Mountain Town every day?" a woman suddenly asked Han Lie.
"It's not every day. Han Lie replied, "If the Dragon Stone is not quelled, then this strange cry will last for at least ten years..."
"Ten... Ten years!"
As soon as I heard that it would be ten years, many people below were about to collapse in their hearts, and if it lasted for ten years, it would be impossible for Hongshan Town to live.
Many residents have begun to curse the thief who stole the dragonstone in their hearts, and this theft has also stolen ten years of peace in Hongshan Town.
Listening to some of the complaining voices around him, Qian Ning felt a little embarrassed, gently pulled Xiao Ye's clothes, and whispered: "I... Let's go back to the inn first. ”
"Uh... All right. Xiao Ye agreed, but still whispered to him: "Hey, girl, won't your conscience hurt?"
"What's the matter with you, let's go!"
After speaking, Qian Ning pulled Xiao Ye's clothes and walked towards the inn.
Xiao Ye didn't care about spreading his hands, anyway, he was not a resident of Hongshan Town, and whether he had a peaceful day or not had little to do with him.
Just as the two were about to leave, they were suddenly stopped by a slightly old voice.
"Hey, isn't it Qian Ning's girl!"
I saw an old man holding a cane suddenly appear in front of the two of them, the old man's face was full of wrinkles, he seemed to be a little old, and he was followed by a young man, who was handsome, as if he was his son.
When Qian Ning saw the old man, he hurriedly covered his cheek with his sleeve with some fear, and said in a motherly voice: "No, you admit your mistake." ”
