Chapter Forty-Eight: The Thoughtful Man
The smile on Kraser's face faded after watching them leave, but he tilted his head and listened for a while, until there was only the sound of insects chirping in the forest, and then he frowned, and looked at Thanatos, who was holding the trophy with his hands on his chest, but he didn't know what was in his mind.

Midnight in the Mystrikreces Forest is exceptionally quiet, most of the autumn has passed, the temperature difference between night and day is quite large, this is especially evident in the forest, a slightly cold breeze from time to time blows the lush foliage, making a rustling sound, accompanied by a sound or two of insects, which makes the forest even more dark and quiet.
But in the case of extreme mental tension, the perception of the outside world will drop to a low point, because of the battle with the cyan dragon just now, so I can't feel anything, but now there is no threat from the cyan dragon, the forest at night is extraordinarily cold, the cool breeze blows Krezer's body, so that he can't help but have a cold shiver, he clasped his arms tightly, staring at Thanatos who came all the way with him with a complicated expression, I don't know how long it took before he exhaled softly, and sighed faintly.
"Thanatos, I know that you are not an ordinary magical beast, although you can be very spiritual, but I always think that you are just a more spiritual magical beast, as for the name on your body, I thought you were just a trained combat pet!"
"But judging from your performance today, I thought everything wrong, you are far from being comparable to ordinary Warcraft, and you can maintain your composure under the pressure of a powerful dragon, I believe it is not something that ordinary Warcraft can do. β
"Look at me, look at me! Thanatos, you don't have to deny it, just look at the panther that Serena brought with you and you can see that you're different. β
Kratzer sat down slowly while muttering to himself, but in the face of Kraser's questioning, Thanatos, who was standing opposite him, seemed to not understand, staring at a pair of innocent big eyes, shaking little head, looking left and right, with an expression that did not know what Kratzer was talking about.
"Okay, I've asked so much, I'm sure you should be able to understand what I mean, so I'll just ask you one question now, can I still trust you as much as I did before?"
But the latter still looked like he didn't understand anything, and he stared at Kratzer innocently with a pair of big innocent eyes, as if he didn't know anything. Seeing such an expression on Thanatos' face, Kratzer couldn't help but frown, and he didn't know if he should make a decision.
Looking at Thanatos with an innocent expression, what Kreizer had just decided in his heart became uncertain at this moment, he thought a lot, recalled the scene of the first meeting with Thanatos, recalled the scene of being trained by Old Man Stiller with him, and more of the scene of fighting side by side with him, this indescribable feeling was built up in battle after battle, and it was stronger than any entente.
But this is the strong bond that has been put to the test tonight, all because of the presence of the cyan dragon, and if it weren't for his appearance, Krazer believes that he would have trusted Thanatos without reservation. But after tonight, all this will be gone, all because of the unexpected bump of Tanatos, although I don't know why, but Krazer understands that Tanatos, who has followed him for so many days, is obviously not as naΓ―ve as he usually appears, he also has his own ideas, and he will make decisions based on his own ideas.
Everything in this kind proves that Tanatos is a monster with its own ideas, not a simple beast that only obeys instincts. Although Krazer had never regarded him as that kind of ignorant monster, judging from the battle just now, his true identity had reached the point where he could not be ignored. But judging from Thanatos' current performance, he has become the kind of monster who only listens to instinct again, is everything just now an illusion?
Looking at Thanatos, who looked dazed and didn't know anything, Krezer's heart was inexplicably troubled, he hated this feeling of not being able to grasp things, hated this feeling of not being able to see the truth of things, but looking at Thanatos's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, with a wave of his big hand, a small wine barrel suddenly appeared in the clearing.
"Okay then, little one, everyone has secrets that can't be told, so I'm sure we'll still drink and eat meat together as we used to, right?"
Apparently Kratzer knew exactly what Thanatos' favorite thing was, and before his words fell, he listened to a click, and Thanatos swooped down the piece of loot that had been carefully preserved by the cyan dragon Rajakuwib, and threw it in place as if it were still garbage, his small body was all hanging on the barrel, and his little nose kept sniffing around the mouth of the barrel, and kept scratching the lid of the barrel with his little paws.
"Slow, slow! look, look!" Kraezer laughed as he opened the lid of the barrel for Tanatos, who sniffed hard and then swooped into the barrel and vanished, only to hear the gurgling sound coming from inside. Seeing this familiar scene, Kratzer smiled and muttered to himself. "Hey, it seems, we're going to be born and die for a while! Hey, Gollum, what would the residents of Fernando City react to seeing a giant dragon flying, tsk, just thinking about it makes people curious! I hope those people in the city can restrain themselves, otherwise they will annoy the stupid dragon, and another siege battle will be interesting! Hehe!"
As if thinking of fun, Kraser's face couldn't help but show a bad smile, he was not worried about the residents living in Fernando City at all, because he knew that this castle that had experienced hundreds of years of war would not be so easily attacked by a giant dragon, since a hundred years ago, the legendary earth war bear Paddington led many magical beasts to fail, let alone this stupid dragon.
Krezer laughed and shook his head, moving his aching shoulders, and although the battle with the cyan dragon Rajakuwib had not been long, the intensity of the battle was far from comparable to that of the previous battles. But when the corner of his eye inadvertently swept to the loot that fell on the ground, his body couldn't help but stiffen, he slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the thing on the ground, held it in front of him, squinted his eyes, and observed carefully. Looking at the things in his hand, Kraser's heart couldn't help but move, he took out the spear that was stored in the spatial ring, put the two together, and carefully compared them.
Time back to the city of Fernando earlier, the weather-beaten castle was shrouded in night, the bright moon hung in the sky, on the walls of Fernando, the lord of Fernando and a middle-aged man in silver armor stood side by side, the two talked in a low voice from time to time, and glanced at the dark forest outside the city walls from time to time. Beneath the tall walls, a group of heavily armed and armoured guards patrolled the spacious walls with neat and powerful steps. Accompanied by the sound of slogans, in the open space at the south city gate, groups of well-equipped soldiers lined up neatly in battle formations with different slogans.
"Report to Captain Sean, the Knights are assembled!"
In the open space on the inner side of the city wall lined up a group of cavalrymen in armor, their spears shining in the moonlight, and on the side of the horses, hung a dozen spears half a meter long.
"Report to Commander Sean, the warrior corps is assembled!"
On the order side of the knight's phalanx, hundreds of burly and tall middle-aged strong men held shields and swords behind their backs, constantly sorting out their outfits.
"Report to Captain Sean, the archer brigade is ready!"
On the other side of the Knights, there was a group of archers wearing black tight-fitting wallets, holding a tall longbow, carrying a quiver full of feathered arrows on their backs, their faces covered by black masks, and their bodies exuding a fierce aura.
At this moment, a swift guard, wearing a light wallet, and a shrewd look in his eyes quickly walked to the side of the two Fernando city lords and reported in a low voice.
"Well, herald, are all the guards of the city wall here!" asked the middle-aged man in silver armor as he looked at the herald in front of him.
"Yes, Commander Sean, everyone is already on standby at their posts, according to your orders. The herald replied, sweating profusely.
"Well, you go down! Tell everyone not to be nervous, this is a drill, go and put it!" Captain Sean waved his hand casually.
"Yes!" The herald quickly ran down the wall and disappeared into the shadows.
After a series of instructions, Captain Sean, who was wearing silver armor, turned to look at the city lord of Fernando, who was also dressed in military uniform, standing with his hands on the wall, and took two steps forward, standing side by side with him, looking at the forest in the night.
"Fisher, you don't have to be too nervous, trust that the dragon will not attack the city, as long as they are not crazy, they should know that the city has the tightest defense of the southern city of the empire, and a single dragon cannot attack it. β
But after hearing Captain Sean's words, the city lord of Fernando, who was wearing a military uniform, still looked at the night sky in the distance, and said without looking back.
"Sean, the last time we fought side by side was more than ten years ago, and now we're all old in a blink of an eye!
"Don't say that, if it weren't for Doriel's death that hit Bastoy too hard, he wouldn't have become like this!Otherwise, under the teaching of the legendary Magister Sean Penn, he should be able to become an excellent magician!" Speaking of the culprit of this incident, Captain Sean couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Yes, Doriel left too early, leaving these two children behind, they have been getting older and older in recent years, and it has become more and more difficult to discipline! If this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, I should send him back to the imperial capital and let his grandfather come to teach, if I continue to spoil him, I really don't have the face to see Doriel" Speaking of Bastoi, the city lord of Fernando, who was wearing a military uniform, looked a little remorseful.
"But that lord is notoriously strict, is it really okay?" Captain Sean couldn't help but hesitate after hearing Fernando City Lord say this.
"Alas!" the middle-aged man did not answer, but sighed a little helplessly.
For a moment, the two men with the most power in Fernando fell silent with each other. Although the two of them knew the cause and effect of tonight's incident, the soldiers who had been gathered did not know that despite the presence of two of the most powerful people in Fernando City, they could not stop their curiosity and talked secretly and quietly.
"Hey, what's the matter with calling us all up the city wall in the middle of the night?" Soldier A stole a glance at the captain standing beside him.
"Shhh
"I heard that the second son of the city lord went to slay the dragon, so he called us out of the bed in the middle of the night, that playboy can't do anything but cause trouble all day long, I'm better than him!" Soldier A muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Shut up, don't pull me if you want to die, you can do whatever you want, where there is so much nonsense. Look, there's a fight over there, it's really imposing!" The captain scolded Soldier A insincerely, and then squinted his eyes and tried to look into the distance where a loud noise was heard.
At this moment, from time to time there were bursts of dragon roars and the sound of magic explosions from the dark night sky, and I saw one or two dazzling lights flashing in the originally dark night sky from time to time. Seeing this scene, the guards standing on the city wall were in a commotion for a while, and they looked in the direction from which the sound came with uneasy expressions.
