Chapter 106: Silver Dragon Treasure
Through the phantom butterfly, Lear sees the faces of the seven men.
"Stop, stop, stop, Niuniu, let me down. A young male mage sat on the shoulders of a minotaur and stopped in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, master. The minotaur said angrily.
The whole team stopped, and the two-and-a-half-meter-tall minotaur slowly knelt on the ground, and then lowered the magician to the ground like a chicken.
The magician held the minotaur and patted his sore thigh and complained, "Damn the mountains, damn the mountain roads, noble mages shouldn't have come with you." β
A stout woman with a figure similar to Susan carried a giant sword and sneered, "Dear George, who said you want to become a dragon slayer? Without you, we should now be standing on the corpse of the silver dragon and counting the treasure with Uncle Scott, instead of rushing!"
The male mage George shrugged his shoulders and said, "Donna, it's you who should be watched. If it weren't for the man you pissed off Count Lear for that damn waste Pret, we wouldn't have been ...... The one was forced to the door, but luckily he was just warning us. It's a pity that I can't see who he goes to trouble with, and the battle at the upper level must be exciting. However, I really didn't expect that the dragon slaying technique that I practiced out of curiosity before would be useful, and the dragon slaying technique was not a dragon slaying technique. β
After the Hundred Years of Civil War, dragons rarely appeared in the human eye, and humans could not kill their allies good dragons, nor would they be stupid enough to hunt evil dragons in orc territory, so all kinds of methods of dealing with dragons were useless. Only a few old people who are immersed in the glory of the past will mention the skill of slaying dragons, but they will be ridiculed by future generations - I will also slay dragons, you go and find me a dragon.
Over time, the true skill of dragon slaying was lost, and the word dragon slayer, which was originally shining with heroic brilliance, evolved into a skillful but useless meaning, and became synonymous with flashiness.
However, George mastered the true art of dragon slaying.
With a bang, Donna put the giant sword on the ground and said solemnly: "Our Hopkins family can stand to this day, relying on unity! Although Pratt was scolded by you as a waste, he is still a member of our family, my brother!"
George feebly raised his hand in surrender and said, "I know, I know, he is a good brother to you, he treats you every day, and he doesn't dislike you for being a stupid girl at all." He's a waste, he's not from the Hopkins family, he's dead, I admit, he's my cousin. There shouldn't be an argument between us, my sister can't be so fierce. β
The other four followed George and Donna without daring to say a word, and the team was clearly dominated by the young man and woman.
Donna gritted her teeth and looked into the distance and said, "Lear, I must kill you with my own hands!"
Learton, who was separated by a tree, was in a cold sweat - Phantom Butterfly told him that the minotaur was a high-level ancestral spirit orc, who was one line stronger than the high-level swordsman of the human race, and his strength was close to that of the great swordsman. Among the other four people is one high-level swordsman, two middle-level swordsmen, and one junior swordsman, and this team can kill dozens of him.
"Someone!" the ancestral spirit minotaur glared, his nostrils widened, and he stomped hard at the tree in front of Lear. The huge cow's hooves hit the ground, and an invisible shock wave was transmitted to the tree, and irregular cracks appeared in the ground that extended forward.
With a click, the tree parted neatly to the sides, and the cracks in the ground stopped ten centimeters in front of Lear.
"Count Lear?" all seven recognized Lear, including the goofy-looking Minotaur.
Lear smiled victoriously, lifted his chin slightly, and said proudly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." β
The volcanic illusion appears, and George and Donna are trapped.
At the same time as the volcanic illusion appeared, Lilsa ran away. The phantom butterfly looked a little weak and hid in the spiritual lake.
George, who was in the midst of the illusion, said loudly: "Don't move, this is an illusion released by a superior mage!" After speaking, George cast a spell, forming an anti-illusion barrier with a radius of ten meters.
Seven people formed a circle, their magic shields flashing around them, and they looked around in despair.
One minute, two minutes...... Ten minutes......
George had an intriguing smile on his face, but he never spoke.
Donna finally couldn't help it and shouted, "Lear, you despicable fellow, I'm going to fight you with a sword! I'm going to kill you with the sword of fairness, you shameless scumbag!, you killed my brother, you killed my dearest brother!" Donna's eyes were red and she was trembling.
The minotaur looked stupid, and said angrily, "Master, judging from my years of experience, he is lying to us! β
George slapped the Minotaur on the back of the head and said, "Are you accusing me of not being as experienced as you?"
The Minotaur immediately said honestly, "I'm sorry, you've more women than I've ever seen a cow." β
George rolled his eyes: "I don't have a common language with you idiot!"
Donna turned her head to look at George and said in an extremely serious tone, "George, as a member of the Hopkins family, what should I do if I find the enemies of the family?"
George leisurely plucked his ears and asked, "You said Count Lear, an old friend of the Hopkins family? β
Donna suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "George, I need your help. β
George hurriedly woke up: "Oh, oh! It turned out to be the murderer of Pret, okay, let's chase! Niu Niu, let's go chase the murderer together!"
"Yes, master. The Minotaur took George around his neck and strode in Lear's direction.
"Slow down! Are you trying to murder me!" yelled George like an idiot.
"Yes, master. "The Minotaur slowed down.
"Do you mean slower, or both?" asked George.
"I dare not say, master. β
George began to roll his eyes again and slapped the back of the minotaur's head.
As a result, the seven men chased after Lear at a normal walking pace.
At this time, Lear, who was not far away, was running as hard as he could, and at the same time cursed Yegor, Baron Andrei and Baron Pinkov in the most vicious language, and by the way, he brought on the red-robed superior mage.
Lear only finished fighting Yegor yesterday, and many of the magic equipment has not been restored, and the more powerful the magic guide, the longer it will take to replenish the magic.
The Ring of Summoning Flame Sword Demon in his hand has lost its effect, and only the Demon Horn can be used, but the Flame Sword Demon can only resist one high-level swordsman at most. The Flame Sword Demon Affandi had become his last resort to save his life, and he could only use it at the most critical moment.
Through Phantom Butterfly, Lear learns that there is not only a high-level swordsman and a high-level ancestral spirit warrior in that team, but the young George in the lead, who is actually a rare magical genius, is only a high-level magician in his twenties.
Lear had been running in the BelΓ©m Mountains for more than 20 days, and had fully adapted to life in the mountains, and soon distanced himself from his pursuers.
The magician George obviously didn't want to hunt down Lear, and Donna herself was just a junior swordsman, and she carried a giant sword, and her speed was far less than Lear's. Moreover, whether it is a high-level swordsman or a high-level ancestral spirit orc, they are all George's subordinates, and Donna has no authority to command.
Donna's immediate subordinates have only one intermediate swordsman and one junior swordsman.
Donna glanced at George dissatisfied, and said to the intermediate swordsman, "John, you chase with all your might, try not to make a move, and be sure to stop him." Be careful, he is a wealthy earl and must have a large number of magic guides or magical equipment. This is the Ring of the High Magic Shield, reserved for you. Be careful, he can't survive in the mountains of BelΓ©m without relying on it. β
A mid-level swordsman named John took the magic ring and ran forward with all his might.
An intermediate swordsman can release Dou Qi outside his body to form a Dou Qi protector similar to the nature of a force field, and at the same time, he can also infuse Dou Qi into many parts of his body, strengthening the functions of those places, such as ...... In short, the sword god is attached to the swordsman.
John's legs glowed with an earthy yellow, making them more powerful, and he ran at more than twice as fast as Lear.
After a while, Lear heard heavy footsteps behind him, very strangely.
"Why is there only one person chasing after him, and his speed is much slower than Yegor, isn't it a high-level swordsman?" Lear knew that the two sides were only a few hundred meters apart, and it was useless to escape, so he turned around and prepared for battle.
It's a pity that Lear doesn't know the relationship between George and Donna at all, and he doesn't know that the general has warned the cannibal family for him, so he has always thought that chasing soldiers is the level of a high-level swordsman.
It wasn't until John got closer that Lear confirmed that it was only a mid-level swordsman who was chasing him.
On the way, Lear had already filled the magic crossbow in the dimensional bag with the Demon Breaking Arrow, and instead of the light of the starry sky, he had a long sword blessed with advanced sword washing skills.
When John saw Lear, he didn't do it directly, but made a big circle more than fifty meters away, blocking Lear's escape path.
Lear scolded the cunning guy for keeping so far away, his magic crossbow was useless. And John is blocking rather than chasing, which means that there are pursuers behind.
Lear didn't think that the cannibal family would let him go, so he came to the most normal conclusion - the seven people let the mid-level swordsman intercept him first, and the other six people came slowly, just like hunting, and the nobles liked to push their prey into a desperate situation and then play with it.
Lear approached John, who retreated, forever staying at a distance of forty or fifty meters.
John didn't say a word, and showed a pleasant look of playing with his preyβhe didn't want to kill Lear in his heart, but he was a knight in Donna's father's family, and betraying his master was more serious than killing a high-ranking enemy nobleman. When he decided to make a move, he stopped looking ahead and saw Lear as a mortal man, not a noble fiefdom earl.
Lear stares at John as he runs, but John doesn't attack, only keeps his distance.
Lear took a closer look at the mid-level swordsman and quickly saw the details of the other party.
John was thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a straight waist, neat hair, and clean clothes, and was a qualified noble guard.
"The delicate skin of his face and the well-maintained fingers prove that he has not survived in the harsh environment in recent years, and the deliberate elegance at this time proves that he has more contact with aristocratic society than contact with battle, his scabbard is not worn, but it is evident that some years are well kept, and it proves that he has not experienced wild life in these years, and now the sword is still unsheathed, and his eyes tell me that he has not taken me seriously at all. It can be seen that he is a family swordsman who has lived in the safe environment of the town for a long time, and may have had hardships in the past, but he has been pampered for the past ten years. β
After Lear was promoted to earl, the first lesson taught by his assistant Watson was not to learn aristocratic etiquette, but to judge a person's general identity and experience in the shortest possible time.
It is rude not to know etiquette, and it is stupid not to know how to look at people.
When a person is strong enough to a certain extent, rudeness will derive natural beauty, true temperament, honesty, uprightness, informality, and so on, but stupidity is always stupidity.
Lear continued to run, but sneered, "It turned out to be a family girl, no wonder she hid far away." You're very handsome, and allow me to venture to guess that the most precious part of your body is your ass. β
Even a man could not bear the contempt and such insults, John unceremoniously fought back with the same tongue and sword, and said contemptuously: "Dear boy, Earl, don't think that it is a good thing to be forcibly promoted to a swordsman by taking potions, your achievements will stop there! I was thrown into the mercenary group by my father when I was ten years old, and it was not until I was twenty-five years old that I became a family knight and promoted to a swordsman, and then it took ten years to become an intermediate swordsman. You aristocrats who grew up eating white bread are not qualified to judge me, family? The Hopkins family doesn't need family witches!"
Lear said disdainfully: "You can only dwell in the undazzling splendor of the past, and when you boast, I am afraid you will not remember any recent achievements." If I'm not mistaken, you're nothing more than a low-ranking servant or handyman in the ranks. If I were the prey, you would be nothing more than a hound, only a stalker, with only a nose and legs, a toothless mongrel!"
John hesitated for a moment and laughed, "There's no way around it. You're running too fast for me to stop you, and you're constantly insulting Master Pratt and Miss Donna. In order to protect the honor of my master and prevent you from escaping, I have to break one of your legs first!" After saying that, he carefully released the high-grade magic shield, and then used the Dou Qi Protector to form a double protection.
He opened the magic bag he was carrying, took out a small magic arm shield from it, and held it with his left hand.
John said triumphantly, "You think I'm going to rush over and kill you like an idiot? You're wrong, you're an earl, you must be carrying a demon-breaking crossbow arrow, and with the wealth of your Lear family, I'm not surprised even if you have a dimensional bag." So, you might even have a Demon Breaker Short Spear and a Long Spear. But now, there's no way you're going to break through my defenses, whatever you have. It's true that the arm shield will affect my sword grip, but I only need to hold the sword with one hand to chop off one of your legs!"
A trace of panic appeared on Lear's face, like a child who had been cornered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You despicable intermediate swordsman, you have done such a thorough preparation to me, a junior swordsman, if the sword god knew, he would definitely send a heavenly curse to kill you!"
John was even more proud, and quickly approached Lear: "Whatever you say, I want to let you know the consequences of disrespecting your elders today! Haha, what if you are an earl, I will make you kneel and beg for mercy!"
Lear's footwork and breathing were all out of order, and he said eagerly, "I apologize, I shouldn't have scolded you just now." I swear by the honor of the Lear family and my ancestors, if you let me go, I will grant you the title of fiefdom baron!
John's eyes flashed, but he quickly suppressed the ** in his heart, and said: "It's useless! I have a life to get, but I don't have a life to enjoy! As long as I seize your dimensional bag, it is equivalent to getting millions of gold carats, and then get the silver dragon treasure, I can at least get the treatment of a high-level swordsman! Even if you beg for mercy now, it's useless!"
Lear stopped running in grief, turned to meet the enemy, and cried out like a true nobleman, "You can kill me, but you can't insult me!" β
John laughed: "Who was apologizing just now? Boy, I'll let you know the methods of our 'family girls', and let you know what happened to scolding me!"
With that, John held his arm shield in his left hand and his sword in his right hand and attacked Lear.
Lear immediately took out two magic crossbows and shot them at the same time, while John was prepared to judge the basic trajectory of the crossbow arrows before aiming the crossbow at him, and then easily used the magic arm shield to block one and dodge the other.
"I knew you would shoot with a magic crossbow, useless! You high count doesn't know that every knight of the clan has fantasized about making a proud nobleman kneel and beg for mercy, and then take off his head without mercy!" John was even more arrogant, his fair face flushed with excitement.
Like an ordinary child in anger, Lear stabbed John with a sword wrapped in red fire and fighting aura.
The long sword in John's hand was braving the earthy yellow fighting aura, and when he swung the sword with one hand, Lear's sword involuntarily floated upward. John then takes a menacing step forward, and Lear retreats in fright.
"Hahaha......" John laughed so much that tears came out, and Lear's performance was an orthodox "family girl".
"You are not allowed to insult me!" Lear roared, tears glistening in his eyes, and stabbed John again like an angry lion cub.
Although John despises Lear, he does not relax in his hands, still swings his sword to block, and then attacks to scare Lear.
This time Lear only hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward in a desperate manner.
John sees a fatal flaw in Lear's abdomen, and stabs him in the abdomen with his sword to force him back and continue the play.
John was amazed to see Lear rush forward in despair, and the sword in his hand pierced Lear's abdomen.
"It's your own death, I have a magic shield and a fighting qi body...... Huh?"
John was horrified to see that Lear's sword had pierced through his magical shield and Douqi body, and then pierced his heart with incredible accuracy.
The shattered heart spurted red blood, splashing Lear's face, but the blood-stained face had a chilling smile.
Suddenly, John saw that the child in front of him had become incomparably large, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Lear broke John's right hand holding the sword, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, my favorite and best used swordsmanship is the tongue sword, followed by the deception sword, and finally the combat sword skill." How about this remnant sword?"
"You...... You've been pretending to be from beginning to end?" Even if the heart is pierced, a mid-level swordsman can survive for a while.
Lear slowly pulled out the long sword in his abdomen, showing his white teeth, and laughed, "Disguise? No, I'm just playing the role of me in your mind." β
"I ...... I'm not reconciled, I could have killed you...... If, if ......" John was extremely remorseful.
"Since you still think you can kill me, I'm sorry to tell you that even if you go back to the fight, you're still dead. It is natural to be unable to determine the life and death of others, and if you cannot determine your own life and death, you can only use death to confirm it. Lear covered his wounds and said, "The reason why I used the deception sword first and then the remnant sword is to prevent you from escaping." There is an equally important reason why I won't tell you ......"
John stared, looking up to the sky with regret and doubt, and he didn't blink.
Lear has a bad heart.
Although the long sword pierced Lear's abdomen, the wound was limited, and he slowly recovered under the healing of the ancestral sword. Without the sword being personally controlled, the healing speed of the ancestral sword is very slow.
Lear used a primary healing technique, which, combined with the power of the Ancestral Sword, could guarantee wound healing in ten minutes, but it would take another day to recover.
Lear quickly examines the ground around him, covering up his own blood and excess traces of battle, before slowly walking away.
However, just five minutes later, six people, including George and Donna, appeared surrounded by wind magic. George looked helpless, because the magic was performed by him, and Donna made a condition that he could not refuse.
On top of that, George didn't think he could really catch up with Lear.
Donna let out a low cry and ran to John's side to take a closer look.
"There are no other scars on his body, the traces of the battle indicate that the process is very short, and the magic equipment on his body has already been used, no matter how you look at it, he was killed by a sword piercing the heart of a master at least the level of a great swordsman, even a high-level swordsman with a demon-breaking sword can't do this!" Donna exclaimed in disbelief.
The junior swordsman behind Donna whispered, "Miss Donna, Master George said that there is a high-ranking mage behind Lear, and this time he has shown the strength of the Great Swordsman, and there is no blood on the ground, I think we should accumulate enough strength to avenge Mr. Pratt." β
Donna took John's magical equipment and said, "No, judging by the way Earl Lear did things in Port Lear, if he could really kill us, he would have done it a long time ago." I suspect that he first trapped John with unknown magic, and then created the illusion that he would kill John with a master's sword, in order to make us retreat!
Lear's trick can deter people whose minds occupy their brains, but it can't help people like Donna, whose brains are occupied by hatred.
The junior swordsman persuaded, "Miss Donna, from the day I became a knight of your father's family, I was ready to die for your father, so I am not afraid of death. However, I advise you to give up your revenge today, and wait until you get the Silver Dragon Treasure and your strength has improved before dealing with Lear. And you know you're not alone in wanting Count Lear to die. If Master Pratt were alive, he would definitely prefer to borrow a knife to kill. β
Donna said firmly, "Don't persuade me, today may be my only chance to avenge Brother Pret." Maybe I'll be stronger in the future, but Lear may also be stronger! I've lost an older brother, and I can't afford to lose the chance to avenge my brother!"
She looked at George and pleaded, "Dear cousin George, please help me one more time." As long as I can kill Lear, I'll get my father to support you as the first in line to the family. β
George didn't speak, but listened to the senior swordsman analyze the battle, and finally the senior swordsman admitted that he couldn't do it to this extent.
George looked at Donna and asked expressionlessly, "Donna, you have to think about it carefully, do you really want me to hunt down an enemy who can cast a high-level illusion and has the strength of a great swordsman?"
Donna said firmly: "I think clearly, it's all a disguise!"
George suddenly turned his face and said sternly, "Bitch, don't you know that compared to the Silver Dragon Treasure and Uncle Scott's life, that Prutt's slut does not exist? I can tolerate your stupid words, but I will never let your stupid actions go! I don't need to provoke a strong enemy like Count Lear for the sake of a slut!"
Donna pleaded bitterly, "George, please, I don't ask you to make a move, as long as Niu Niu or Jester go with me, I can easily kill him!" Jester is the only high-level swordsman in the team.
George said coldly, "Shut up! Your ignorance will one day bring disaster to the family! If I help you, your father will alienate me, and he will never want to see an idiot become the Marquis of Hopkins." I don't have the power to stop you, but Niu Niu and Jester must be by my side. Finally, if you succeed in killing Earl Lear, congratulations, the day after the leak, your family will be expelled from the Hopkins family and all die at the hands of the bandits!"
Donna stared at George deadly, then finally at the junior swordsman behind her and said, "Follow me." β
The man looked at George, who didn't speak, and he had to walk over to Donna.
"I'll remember you when I see my family enemy and don't make a move, George!" Donna turned to leave.
"Stop!" said George, and the minotaur stepped in front of Donna.
Donna turned her head and sneered, "Why, you found that you still have a clean part of your dark heart?"
George stretched out his hand and said, "Take out the positioning teleportation magic array,"
Donna gripped the hilt of her sword firmly in her right hand and asked, "Don't you really give me a chance?"
"Niu Niu, if she doesn't hand over the teleportation magic array, she will be punished for betraying the family!" George finished speaking, and walked in the established direction.
"Yes, master. The Minotaur took out two thick metal totem poles from the dimensional pouch, joined them together in a hurry, slammed them on the ground, and looked at Donna condescendingly. The metal totem pole is nearly four meters high, and one person hugs it thickly, and the sound is terrifying.
"Good!" Donna pulled out the teleportation circle from her magic pouch and tossed it to the Minotaur, quickly chasing after Lear.
The minotaur said dissatisfiedly, "Since becoming a high-level ancestral spirit warrior, I have never had the opportunity to use the ancestral spirit again. After speaking, he chased after George with the teleportation magic array.
As he walked, George thought to himself, "The general came to the door, and everyone thought that he only called for battle at the door and left, but no one knew that my grandfather then chased after him, and he was also a superior swordsman, but he was wounded within ten swords. Otherwise, the family power would not have contracted with all its might, and it would not have sent just a few of us with two positioning teleportation magic arrays. Donna, you're a nice sister, but it's a pity that you're standing across from me with your father. β
The Minotaur said to himself, "Judging by my years of experience, Miss Donna is dead, unless she meets the Minotaur." β
