Chapter 130: Two Mysteries
"Sister Long, what's wrong?" Elena asked suspiciously, noticing that the other party's face was wrong.
"How did you get to Dragon Valley before?" asked Isera, with some seriousness.
"Raymond brought us in. ”
"Raymond?" said Ysera, "I guess you don't know the rules of the dragons. We dragons, unless we are subjugated by humans, will allow humans to sit on our backs. ”
"Then ......" Lin Qian understood the key to this. If you want to sit on the dragon's back, you have to submit to him, and just saying that you want to sit on her back is tantamount to provoking the arrogant dragon.
"If it weren't for your ignorance, I would have taught you a lesson. Ysera replied with some annoyance.
"Sister Dragon, don't be angry, we don't know this rule, and Raymond ...... it," Elena said cautiously.
Ysera breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Raymond is also the strongest man in my clan, and you have some skills to convince him. However, I will never surrender to a human being, and you can only rely on yourself to get out of this mountain. ”
At this point, Lin Qian and the three of them really had no other way but to say goodbye and continue on the road.
"Wait!" Isera called out to them, "I was going to go back and ask my father how the union with the humans is going, but now that I know the truth from you, I'm interested in how you deal with the beasts of the forest." ”
"What does Miss Ysera mean?" Lin Qian's heart moved, could it be that the other party had changed his mind.
Ysera shook her head: "Although I can't help you get out of this mountain, I can follow you all the way, and I can be regarded as fulfilling my duty to protect my father's guests." ”
"Do you want to protect you?" Sophia was very upset with her expression - a condescending one that didn't take humans in the slightest.
Ysera didn't care, and continued: "Of course, I will also check for my father to see if the helper he hired can really resist the beast. ”
Lin Qian laughed in her heart, this dragon princess was really a little arrogant, she was obviously very curious about human magic, and wanted to see the reason for the rise of human beings, but she sneered at the ability of human beings and disdained to be with them, although she was ordered by the dragon lord to unite with human beings, she also did not believe in human abilities. If she is asked to assist the human mage team in resisting the beast at that time, I am afraid it will not be very smooth, but it is better to let her see the human ability.
With the dragon by their side, all the beasts automatically retreated, which made the journey of several people much faster, and finally on the morning of the third day, they reached the top of the highest mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, there was a forest with no end in sight. There is already some ice and snow on the top of the mountain here, which shows that the altitude is not low, if it is not for the help of Lin Qian and a few people, they will not be able to climb to the top of the mountain in a short time.
"Miss Ysera, I have a question I don't understand. "Lin Qian has been suspicious these days, and now that he is about to leave the mountain, he naturally needs to ask clearly.
"What's the problem?"
"If it is very difficult for us to climb this mountain, how can those beasts easily cross it?"
This is a good question, both humans and beasts can only walk on the ground, and it is very difficult to cross this high mountain, even if there are thousands of beasts, I am afraid that they can only look away in the face of this mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles.
Ysera looked at Lin Qian's ignorant face and smiled a little sarcastically, before she replied, "You don't know about that group of beasts at all, they are never afraid of life and death, even if they use their bodies to pave the way for the beasts behind them. ”
The dragon princess didn't explain after speaking, she spread her wings, turned into a silver dragon and slid downward, and fell to the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye, disturbing many birds and beasts.
Paving the way for the beasts behind? Lin Qian was a little puzzled, could it be that such a high mountain was just a corpse all the way up? How many beasts would be needed? Moreover, the reproduction rate of these beasts was really fast, otherwise how could they maintain a regular riot every four years.
"The mountain is so steep that we can go straight down. "Sophia wants to show her abilities in front of Ysera to prove that humans are no worse than dragons.
It's absolutely impossible to perform the Wind Resisting Technique from such a high place, but it's possible to control your body so that it doesn't fall to the ground quickly. Sophia and Elena jumped down from the top of the mountain with Lin Qian on their backs, and slowly drifted halfway up the mountain. This height was enough to resist the wind, and the three of them flew directly to the bottom of the mountain, and Ysera had been waiting for a long time in human form.
"For so long, I thought you were going to come down from the top of the mountain. Ysera said sarcastically.
Lin Qian smiled and didn't say anything, racial talent is innate, and there is nothing to show off. Elena, who has always been restless, has also become extraordinarily well-behaved this time, and she has no complaints about her "Dragon Sister". But Sophia couldn't bear her tone, and said: "It's amazing to fly." ”
"Isn't it great to know magic?" Isera replied.
Sophia said righteously, "Although we humans are naturally weak, isn't it an ability to master magic by our own efforts?"
Without even thinking about it, Isera replied disdainfully, "What do you rely on your own efforts?
"Hey, you make it clear!" Sophia is now gone, how can the magic she has worked so hard to learn be given by others?
"Am I wrong? If it weren't for the appearance of gods who favor you humans in the first place, where would you have learned the magic?"
"You-" Sophia was about to argue with her, but Lin Qian stopped her.
This giant dragon seemed to know the situation very well, and Lin Qian thought to himself, why not take this opportunity to say something.
"Miss Ysera, don't blame," Lin Qian said with a smile, "To be honest, this magic is indeed a foreign thing, but we humans have a short lifespan and don't know what happened a long time ago, so we can't be blamed for it." Can you tell us a little bit about that?"
"Hmph!" Sophia suffered a loss, and seeing that Lin Qian still didn't help her, she turned her face and sulked.
The princess of the dragon clan regained her face when she heard Lin Qian's words, and when she saw Lin Qian's sincere face, she satisfied his curiosity: "I think you are still more reasonable, so let me tell you." ”
The four of them found a place to sit down at the foot of the mountain, and Ysera began to tell her story proudly: "More than 6,000 years ago, we dragons were the masters of the eastern part of this continent, and I was only over 3,000 years old at that time, but I traveled with my father and saw many creatures, including humans who had just appeared. ”
"And then?" Lin Qian was a little anxious, he knew all this, what he wanted to know was about God.
Ysera seemed dissatisfied with his urging, and gave him a blank look before she continued: "I thought that human beings, like other creatures, were just our food, but then they learned a special language, as if they suddenly had intelligence, and even wore leaves as clothes, and lived together in small towns. At first, we thought that humans had just enlightened, but then we gradually found that they began to perform some kind of ritual collectively to ask for the help of the gods. ”
"Pray to the gods?" Lin Qian interrupted Ysera again, but this time she didn't mind.
"Yes," Isera nodded, "I was as surprised as you were to see this happen, where we have seen gods in all our years, so we are both curious and disdainful of what they do. However, when we tried to exterminate the human beings in a village and town for food, we were stopped by an unknown force, and our people died on the spot. Since then, we have never dared to use humans for food, especially those who pray to the gods all day long. ”
"Then have you seen that god?" Lin Qian asked with some eagerness.
"Nope. ”
Ysera's answer disappointed Lin Qian for a while, but her next words shocked Lin Qian.
"I've seen another god, though. ”
"Another god?" all three of them looked at the dragon girl who had said this lightly with their mouths wide open, incredulously.
"yes, you don't know there's another god?" Ysera was equally surprised, and when she saw that all three of them shook their heads, she continued, "This god seems to be ...... She was a female human, but I hadn't seen her for what she really was, only that her hands were white and tender, and that she had defeated us all with just one right hand. ”
The right hand of the gods?Lin Qian suddenly remembered Xiao Yi who had absorbed the hand of the gods, and vaguely felt that she had something to do with this "female human" god.
"And how do you know it's not the same god you used to be?" asked Sophia, a little provocatively.
"Of course it's because their abilities are different," Ysera looked at with an idiot expression, "Our dragons still have a very accurate sense of power. This god uses your current magic, but it is much more powerful than your magic. The previous gods used a different kind of power, and although there were some similarities, we dragons still felt the difference. In addition, the gods who came after him didn't seem to want to kill us, and every time they defeated us, they stopped doing it. ”
"So that's the case," Lin Qian suddenly thought of something again, "By the way, why did you dragon clan move to the Dragon Valley later?"
Unexpectedly, Ysera couldn't say it clearly this time, and shook her head: "At that time, my father urgently summoned us together, but the situation was urgent, and only some of the clansmen came. My father seemed to know that something big was happening, and he didn't have time to wait for the other clansmen, so he took us to Ryugu and said that he had taken refuge. Later, all of our clansmen fell into a coma in Ryugu, and when I woke up, I saw that my father was awake alone. My father warned all his people not to step into human territory, but he told us to learn the language of mankind from him. It wasn't until a dozen people disappeared four hundred years ago that his father sent Raymond to the human realm to secretly find out. And to stop these beasts from attacking human territory, it is also strictly requested by my father, otherwise we will never help humans. ”
"The dragon clan who didn't enter the Dragon Valley......"
"They are all dead, and my father didn't let us go to find them, but judging by his expression, most of these people have encountered accidents. Ysera said with some sadness.
