In order to compensate Elena and Sophia, Lin Qian decided to take only the two of them and Xiao Yi's coffin on the road. It's not that Lin Qian can't let go of Xiao Yi, but that he decided to stay in Dragon Valley for a while longer, when he is traveling with the two girls, so that once there is a problem with the crystal coffin magic array, Lin Qian can remedy it in time.

Raymond recovered well, and it didn't take long to reach Dragon Valley with four people and a coffin. In fact, the reason is very simple, last time it was a run for life, and the seconds are like years, but now it is a tour, but I am afraid that time will pass too fast.

Ryugu is not a small valley as imagined, but a wide clearing surrounded by more than a dozen mountains. Dragons like to live in caves, so standing in the valley and looking at the surrounding mountains, the walls of the mountains are full of caves, like beehives, and it is difficult for patients with dense phobia.

The last time I came here at night, Lin Qian didn't have the heart to visit, this time I came, purely to relax, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional when I saw such a spectacular scene. After all, it is the most physically powerful creature, and digging a cave to accommodate itself from the rocks is like digging into a bag.

"Stinky boy, are you willing to come?" The Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King accompanied the Dragon Clan Patriarch out of the largest cave at the bottom, and began to shout from a distance.

Lin Qian saw that his wrinkles seemed to be much deeper, and he really felt that it was not a taste in his heart.

"Teacher, when did you wake up?"

"You woke up the day you left, but you were a little overdrawn and your body was fine. As if comforting Lin Qian, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King spoke very carefully.

"This is the dragon patriarch, you should know each other. - This is my apprentice, and you have seen them, both of them are his daughters—one is his woman, and the other is his sister. "The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers, as someone who knew each other, began to introduce each other.

"Dragon Lord. Lin Qian saluted.

The patriarch of the dragon clan was a little puzzled, and asked the old man in a low voice, "Isn't his woman dead?"

"Ahem-" The Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King thought to himself that your old dragon's emotional intelligence is really low, but he still explained it to him clearly, "We human men can find a few more wives—that is, what you call a spouse." ”

"I see. "The old dragon knows the rules of human beings, but he looks at the human beings who look the same, and thinks that this is the woman who died half a month ago has been resurrected.

"Come in and talk about it. "The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers saw that the old dragon didn't seem to know how to be hospitable, and took the initiative to be half the master.

The dragon lord's cave is more than twice as large as the other dragons, it is spacious and bright, but the furnishings inside are really simple, only a few smooth stones that seem to have just been moved, probably a stone bench specially prepared for Lin Qian and others.

Everyone sat down as the guest of honor, politely for a while, and began to chat with each other. The Dragon Lord seemed to be very interested in Lin Qian's identity, and asked Lin Qian about his story in another world from time to time.

Lin Qian didn't mind that others knew these things, so he briefly introduced them, and said: "Except for the larger population and larger area, there is actually no difference, but there is no magic in that world, instead of technology, although there is no magic magic, there are many places that are more useful than magic." ”

"Oh, bigger than this world?"

Lin Qian's focus on him was very strange, shouldn't he pay attention to the difference between magic and technology.

"Yes, I don't know how much bigger, but this world doesn't seem to have a large continent area, and I've already walked around a lot. ”

When the Dragon Lord heard this, he and the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King glanced at each other, and they both showed a hint of a smile.

"Stinky boy, do you think the world is as big as you see?" the old man asked dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't it?" Lin Qian was confident that the distance from the South Ocean to the North Pole was not large, and the planet was much smaller than the Earth.

The Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King snorted and asked again, "Where do you think the east, west, north, south and north borders of this continent are?"

"The sea is to the southeast, to the center of the ice pole in the north, and to the ...... in the west Could it be that there is still one to the west of Dragon Valley?" Lin Qian suddenly realized that he might have overlooked something.

Seeing that he had comprehended, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King patiently explained: "This continent is actually very large, and we humans only occupy the place beyond the east of Dragon Valley. Ryugu is located in a narrow mountain range in a north-south direction, this mountain range is so high that even the old man and I can't directly climb over it, so no one has ever found Ryugu and those places in the west. Further west is the Endless Forest, which is probably the largest part of the continent, stretching for thousands of miles to the west, but no one knows where the border is. ”

"Teacher, do you mean that all the west of Dragon Valley is forest, and it accounts for most of the continent?" Lin Qian was a little surprised.

"Yes," the Phantom King continued, "that forest is called the Everfree Forest by the dragons, and it is inhabited by all sorts of beasts. The reason why Dragon Valley chose this place is also to deter fierce beasts from attacking human territory. Sometimes, when encountering a fierce beast's rampage, the dragons will send a group of dragons to stop it. We humans have been able to stay safe and sound, and we are thanks to the dragons. ”

"Why haven't I ever heard of this?" Lin Qian turned his head and asked Elena and Sophia again, "Have you heard of this?"

"Nope. The two women shook their heads.

The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers immediately teased the Dragon Lord: "Look, your dragon clan is so desperate to protect the human race, but people don't know about it at all, how can you appreciate it?"

The Dragon Lord couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, "Whether they don't know it, I haven't left this valley for thousands of years, and I don't know much about humans. If you hadn't found this place, I'd have thought humans would still be the same straw bales we used to have. ”

Lin Qian noticed the "loophole" in his words, and couldn't help but wonder, "Has the Dragon Lord never been out of the Dragon Valley?"

"Oh, this ......" the dragon lord seemed to be a little unspeakable, "I really haven't been out of the Dragon Valley since I moved here, and it was only the last time I heard the roar of my clan outside the valley, and I felt a terrifying magic fluctuation, so I went outside the valley to see what was going on." ”

Lin Qian remembered that Raymond had said that after humans mastered magic, they forced the dragons to stay in a safe corner. That is to say, since then, the dragon lord has been incarnated as an otaku, and he has been here for thousands of years, is there something out there that scares him? Then this almost invincible existence on the continent is too timid.

"Uncle Long, I want to ask you something. "It's Elena's voice, and it's a bit of a title — it's comfortable.

Sure enough, the old dragon was very helpful when he heard this, and nodded in agreement.

"Since we humans have always been hostile to you dragons, why do you keep guarding our territory secretly?" Elena asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

The Dragon Lord sighed helplessly: "Actually, the reason for doing this is ultimately so that Dragon Valley will not be discovered by humans. If these fierce beasts cross the mountain range and attack the human territory, the human race will naturally rise up and resist, so that people will come to investigate in the high mountain, and the location of the dragon valley will be easily discovered. ”

I see, no wonder these dragons are so great, it turns out that they also have their own troubles.

"Then you came to me this time to ......" Lin Qian seemed to have some eyebrows about the Dragon Lord's purpose.

"Honestly," said the old dragon, who no longer detoured, "I would like to ask you to help us deal with these beasts." ”

Lin Qian thinks that he doesn't have this strength, that is the force behind him, this old dragon is not stupid, he knows that at this time, Lin Qian has many masters and can help with this.

The Dragon Lord continued: "These beasts in the Endless Forest riot very regularly, there will be a small shock every 4 years, and some of the beasts on the edge will want to rush out of the forest, we can solve this by sending some young clansmen casually. Every 100 years, there will be a slightly larger uprising, requiring a strong enough team to put it down. But this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that every 400 years, there will be a violent earthquake in the forest, and then all the beasts in the whole mountain forest will riot, and our people need to be almost all dispatched to stop these beasts, and sometimes many people will be killed and injured. ”

Raymond then added, "Lin, do you remember that Mogulia? He was the one who took advantage of this opportunity to capture a dozen wounded dragons of our race four hundred years ago. ”

"This year is the year of the beast's rampage?" Lin Qian was a little surprised, even the dragon clan would be injured or even killed in battle, if he really sent someone to stop it, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

"Yes, it's about half a year away, so I'm going to urge Raymond to come to you. The dragon lord's face was very solemn, and then he said, "The rampage of these beasts is getting more and more crazy every time, at first we can stop it, but later, it will always be accompanied by the death and injury of the clansmen. Last time, there were more than 100 dead clansmen alone, and countless more were injured. You must know that since our people entered the valley, there have only been more than twenty new dragons, and they are far from growing up now. The casualties are really unbearable, so I want to unite you against the beasts despite being discovered by humans. ”

"How many dragons are left in the valley now?" Lin Qian asked again.

The Dragon Lord replied with some sadness: "When our clan was at its strongest, its power spread all over the eastern part of the continent, and there were more than tens of thousands of giant dragons. After natural disasters and wars, when I gathered my people into Dragon Valley, there were still more than 10,000 left. Now, there are only about 7,000 left, and there are only more than 5,000 who can fight, and the rest are too young for me to let them die. ”

When Lin Qian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sympathy and admiration for these dragons. I didn't expect that the comfortable life of human beings was the result of the protection of these dragons that they wanted to hunt all day long, and they didn't expect that these seemingly powerful dragons were on the verge of extinction due to the pressure of reproduction and survival.

Although Lin Qian was very curious about the "natural disasters" and "wars" that the dragon lord said could kill tens of thousands of dragons, he knew that this was obviously not the time to discuss these things, so he continued to ask, "What does the dragon lord need me to do?"

"Okay," the Dragon Lord was very pleased with his cheerful promise, and said with a smile, "With Dragon Valley as the boundary, the south will be resisted by our clan, and the north will be handed over to Lin Qian's people." I have some things to do to go out of the valley, and there is a little girl, who has just come of age, and she will tell you the exact location and situation, and she should return from the forest in a few days. ”
