Chapter 198: The Fellow and the IOU
Merlin stared blankly at the bear's neck, where the two white lines that extended from the pinna of the ears converged into a semicircle, a feature he recognized, a feature he had recognized since he was four or five years old, a feature that Papa Pike pinched his ears to recognize.
The blue fur, the round and pointed ears, and the semicircular white line on the neck, this is clearly the kind of blue storm bear that is said to live in the mountains south of Port Harriet?!
Their Kalander family's badge is this kind of blue storm bear!
In an instant, the feeling of mixed tastes came to his heart, mixed with a trace of the kindness of the countryman seeing the villager, the young man only felt that his eyes were a little moist, obviously he still couldn't move and let the bear slaughter, but it seemed that something was blocked in the young man's chest, warm like a flame.
From childhood to adulthood, he used all kinds of items with the family coat of arms for so many years, from clothes to weapons, from the home in the baron's mansion to the collectibles in the basement, and even many books were printed with the family coat of arms on the covers to show the collection.
He finally saw the animal for the first time.
"Brother Xiong......" for a long time, he finally broke out with a wail with great affection:
"βwe're a family!"
However, the stupid bear under him did not say anything, and was still running wildly.
At this time, climbing the ridge, its shoulder blades moved more violently, and its body went up and down, so that the young man's stomach was like turning over the river and the sea, and he didn't see the slightest intention of taking care of his hometown.
"Brother Xiong!" the boy cried out miserably.
"Oh yes! look at this! Hmm......" Suddenly remembering something, Merlin struggled to tug at the collar with his mouth.
He would pull a piece of his undershirt out, revealing a small pattern on the collar - it was the embroidery of the Carland family crest, and a dark blue adult violent bear roared. Although the badge was not big and not beautifully tattooed, you could vaguely see a small tip on the round ear pinna of the violent bear, and a thin white arc around the neck.
After careful comparison, in addition to the body size, it is really carved out of the same mold as the bear under him.
"Brother Xiong, take a look! Let's take a look back! We are really a family! The heart of a family can't be so ruthless!" Mo Lin shouted, seeing that the other party was still indifferent and didn't care about his family emblem at all, the young man couldn't help but mutter:
"Brother Xiong...... I have never eaten your relatives in the mountains, not even your distant relatives, they have all been chased by your relatives, and I have broken my legs! Brother Xiong, I have never offended you, we have no hatred and no grudges, if you come to me to seek revenge, but you have found the wrong person......
"Of course, Brother Xiong can't let you run in vain when he comes from the south, you see how this is, you quickly let me go, I'll take you to the royal capital to have a good meal, I inquired last time which store has the best barbecue, then you can let go of your belly and eat casually, I am responsible for checking out and helping you wipe your mouth, to ensure that the taste is better than me, a person who is not thin......"
"If you like it, I'll ask the boss to pack a whole roast lamb for you to carry back, and you can eat it slowly on the way......"
The blue-skinned bear stopped suddenly.
"Eh?!Brother Xiong, you have finally changed your mind!" Mo Lin thought that he had finally moved this fellow, and he couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement, but then he realized that the little violent bear didn't mean to put him down.
I saw it turn its head and bark softly behind it, its brown eyes staring at the direction of the academy valley in the distance.
I don't know what it's looking at.
Morin twisted his white neck vigilantly and looked around, his heart sinking.
He had a vague feeling that he was about to leave the academy boundary a short distance further.
The bear was still turning his head in the direction of the Academy, and after a few breaths, Merlin saw a swarthy shadow flying from the valley in the distance, faintly tinged green in the moonlight, and soon approached.
It was the branch-like wand, the staff of the Elemental Emperor Audalon.
"What's going on...... the young man's already confused heart became even more confused: "The body of the cane that has not been carved in any way, and the emerald green leaf at the handle of the cane, is definitely his Elemental Emperor's cane, obviously placed in the dormitory and not brought out, why did it suddenly appear here......"
"What the hell! Could it be that this blue-skinned monster bear was summoned by the cry just now?!"
After being tied up for a while, he probably figured it out, maybe this little bear broke into the academy by taking advantage of the loophole activated by Senior Mike, and the magic enchantment on the boundary failed, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to cross the defensive magic of the academy with its kind of strength to slap Senior Fox with one palm.
And at this time, the loophole could not still be continued, even if this blue-skinned bear really had some magical ability that he could not perceive to summon this cane to fly, but how did it pass through the closed doors and windows when it was clearly placed in the dormitory in the ancient castle by itself?
The boy saw that the cane had fallen on his body and was tied to him.
Then the bear took another step and carried Morin on his back towards the outside of the academy.
"Brother Xiong! Professor Wang Del said that he wouldn't let me take this wand out of the academy!" The young man screamed: "I have all such a valuable thing, you tie me up, and take this wand away by the way, then what will they take to redeem me, you won't make up your mind to tear up the ticket, right?......!"
The bear remained indifferent and continued to run forward.
"Brother Xiong...... Someone in front !!"
Maureen suddenly shouted.
The moon god was above, and he didn't know why there were two adventurers in the place where the birds didn't, but he did see the two tall figures in front of him, one strong and one thin, not far in front of this strange bear.
"Helpββ!! "Wow" he didn't care so much, shouting at the top of his voice.
Ahead, the Ice Warrior shouted angrily, "Damn it! That bear has a child on its back! Don't activate the trap yet!"
The lanky stalker, grim, lowered the trap fuse in his hand and plucked a short spear from his back.
"Are you sure, don't hurt that kid, he should be a student at the Academy of Magic. β
"Look at it. The Stalker snorted.
He strode back, and in an instant the whole person was bent into a strong bow, the sharp short spear lit up with a piercing white light, three circles of bright silver magic runes swirled around the spearhead, and there was a sound of gold and iron scraping, and the heavy short spear flew out like a sharp arrow.
Before the explosion could be heard, Merlin could already feel the spear explode on the bear's head.
The blue-skinned bear paused and stopped.
This time it was obviously much more powerful than Fawkes's fireball, and the short spear engraved with runes surpassed the three-ring magic in terms of penetration and impact, but the bear was still unharmed.
With a bang, the tip of the spear had been twisted and the short spear had fallen on the rocky ground with a crisp sound.
The bear stopped and looked at the two in front of him.
Morin's scattered mental perception heard the stalker mutter, something Fawkes had said not long ago:
"Impossible......"
"Come to war!" the tall ice warrior shouted angrily, leaving his cloak, his exploding muscles lit up with dark green rune marks, and a huge hammer emitted a red-orange glow as the bear rushed towards him.
The blue-skinned monster bear raised his right palm and slapped it twice.
Moaning in pain, the boy couldn't bear to look at it anymore and closed his eyes.
The two adventurers became the fifth and sixth arcs across the night sky tonight, but there was no lake nearby, and they slammed into the hard cliff, and after two muffled sounds, a puff of smoke rose and there was no more sound.
Life and death unknown.
Fortunately, the two of them looked like they were of the same rank, and might have survived such a ferocious impact.
The blue-skinned bear scratched his neck casually and continued to lead Merlin into the night.
"Brother Xiong...... Where the hell are you going to take me......" Mo Lin said weakly: "Whether it's killing or chopping, you have to give a good time, can you stop slapping and give some powerful moves so that people can be prepared, Brother Xiong......"
Before he could finish speaking, the boy suddenly felt that the bear had grown a little bigger.
Then it got a little bigger......
It's a little bigger......
As if it grows in the wind, the size of this blue-skinned monster bear soon exceeded the size of an adult brown bear, and the young man's drooping hands and feet lying on the bear's back would have rubbed against the ground, but as the monster bear grew in size, it could only touch its abdomen and waist ribs, and gradually even the waist ribs could not be touched.
The bear is still getting bigger.
The young man only felt that he was rising higher and higher, the back of the original man had become a soft fur bed, and the short and stiff bear hair had also become slender and soft, and the young man's vision had been blocked by the blue fluff, and he could only see by mental perception that the size of the bear had approached the huge snowman fat dean they had piled up at the beginning.
"Brother Xiong...... Oh no, Daddy Bear...... Oh no, Ancestor Bear!" Merlin couldn't help but wail.
Why did he never know their family emblem, this kind of blue storm bear could grow to such a big size, and he was afraid that he could swallow himself in one bite: "Ancestor Xiong Wow, I'm so small enough for your old man to stuff his teeth, can you kidnap me, you are so huge...... Such a big ......."
The boy's screams suddenly became quieter.
Tonight's encounter, from the moment the little bear on the lakeside walked out of the forest, everything he encountered, saw, knew and felt, like a layer of hazy window paper, was suddenly pierced at this moment.
He remembered that the roar he had heard in Bellamy's town was said to have come from a monster that had crossed the line of the world, and that beast was a giant bear with footprints comparable to that of a giant bear at a round table......
A giant bear......
This giant bear......
As soon as the vision went dark, Merlin finally fainted.
β¦β¦
"A wave in a wave...... It's nice to be sneaky...... I love baby more than the sky......"
The famous card-maker, Ed Warlund, is humming a ditty as he flies through the night sky.
He was dressed in a black night coat, and carried a huge bulging bag like a jerboa on his back, several times larger than him, and looked heavy and didn't know what it contained.
He didn't have that kind of huge wing magic on his body, but Ed was walking on the ground in the air, strolling with steps, and with each small step he took flashed far away to the next position, as if he had directly stepped into the night sky in the middle, although the cadence was very slow but the speed was fast, and he was humming a small tune while strolling around, which seemed very pleasant.
The weather in this area is very good, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, the mountains are full of horns and peaks, the snow reflects the bright moonlight and the colorful night sky in the distance, and the cold but fresh air pours into the chest to make people feel refreshed.
As if sensing something, Ed wanted to glance back.
The large pocket he was carrying made it inconvenient for him to turn his head, so he simply stopped and turned to look.
A figure with huge dragon wings was chasing him from the end of the field of vision.
"Oops!" Ed yelled, and ran.
The distance he flashed did not change each time, but his steps were much faster, not to mention the large bulging bag on his back, and his cadence could catch up with the jerboa, and the mountains under his feet were quickly left behind.
But the dragon-winged figure was not thrown away, but quickly closed the distance.
"Stop!" a roar came from behind Ed.
"Don't stop the old man, I'm going to transform myself! Don't force me to arrest you kid and put him in a lava pool for three years!"
"Patriarch Odysom, juniors say hello!" Ed turned around and bowed respectfully, but this bow was not very respectful because he was bent over by the huge bag.
The next moment, the figure with the huge dragon wings behind him appeared in front of him.
It was an old man with black hair, with a majestic face, wearing a gorgeous ink-colored robe, the fabric of which was like countless thin pieces of black gemstones, black and shiny like fine and neat scale armor, and each dark surface was polished into a precise arc that could flash the starlight of the entire sky.
He put away his dragon wings.
Circling around Ed, who was still bowing, he couldn't help but scold:
"Didn't you die under the blood moon! Why did you run out again! What a good man doesn't live long, and the scourge lives for a thousand years!"
Ed straightened up, tightened the large pocket he was carrying, and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, didn't you scold your whole clan, most of your juniors have been able to soar in the sky since the last era." β
"Fart!" the old man yelled, "Are we dragons the same age as yours?"
"Hey, I heard that you didn't go to the royal capital to attend the meeting," Ed changed his words: "The insider said before that today's meeting on the account of the lost discipline, and what kind of ruins of the exquisite meeting, you also went to attend!"
It's good that he didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, the old man's forehead jumped with bruises:
"Then you took the opportunity to rob our Thousand Mountains and Dragon Cliff?!!"
"Robbery?!" Ed looked around casually: "Who dares to rob?" Didn't I just go to your Dragon Cliff to borrow something!
"This special lady is your IOU?" The current patriarch of the dragon clan, the great black dragon elder, Odesom couldn't help but burst into a human foul mouth, resisting the urge to tear the guy in front of him to pieces, and grabbed a handful of rags from his arms.
The strips of cloth looked tattered, long and short sentences imprinted with magic, and the material seemed to be very similar to the black night walking clothes on Ed's body, but like the strips of cloth he had torn off his clothes.
"Ahem, you've already been back to Dragon Cliff," Ed coughed awkwardly, unnaturally pulled the corner of his missing clothes, and confirmed: "It's indeed an IOU I left, black and white Tong Su is not bullied......"
The old man's forehead was bruised, and he took a random strip from the rag, and read it through gritted teeth:
"Ed Warrend was on loan at the end of the year of the Shining Stars to the great Silver Dragon warrior, Sonoin Cranken...... Two small piles of holy silver, three sleeping scales, a small bag of shallow sea crystals, and a rock heart...... Return Date: TBD...... Debtor: Morin...... Callander. β
Ed grinned, his dark green eyes narrowed into two charming crescents, his angular face was as handsome as the sculptures of the holy warriors in the temple of elves, and the warm corners of his mouth flowed from the moving ballad of spring.
However, this did not quell Odysom's anger.
"It doesn't matter if the unit of measurement is not clearly written, and the return date is to be determined, and it is okay if Sonoin's kid has all such good things 'borrowed' by you, but this debtor !!" The old man was so angry that black smoke and flames came out of his ears:
"Who is this bullshit Maureen Callander?!"
