"Speaking of the wind, what will you do if the real dragons come to you?" asked with a smug expression as he sat in the carriage that had been prepared for a long time.

When they arrived at the edge of Icecastle with Clayter from the trail, the carriage arranged by Rex II was already waiting here.

Although people have gradually begun to use small cars and trams as a means of movement in this age of steam, the Avantley Empire, formerly a nomadic tribe, has a soft spot for war horses.

"I am a soldier of the Avantley Empire, and I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and to the army of this country. If I were asked what to do, it would be that if the Dragons were willing to cooperate with the Empire, I would give it my full support, and if the Dragons began to threaten the Empire, then I would take the Sword of Darukos and slay it with my own hands, as Eventele Hanjun I did. But if it's you. The wind showed a look of apprehension.

"What about your words?" Instantly began to be a little curious.

"If you're mad, but if you can listen to even a little of my advice, I won't hurt you. Although the kingdom of Rune has been destroyed for more than two hundred years, the remnants of Rune in the Avantley Empire are not happy. Although the people of Avantley are also more discriminatory against those who come from the Flame Empire in the south, they are industrious, which is a quality that we do not have. So," said the wind, turning his head to look at the sack, and at the clete who had been lured to sleep in it.

"So what?" asked Instant.

"So, although the people in the south are still discriminated against, they are inseparable from the construction and trade of the empire. It's like tobacco, we know it's harmful, it's very hateful, but we still have to accept it and use it. But the remnants of the Kingdom of Rune were not so lucky. Except for a brave man who appeared more than a hundred years ago with a reputation for magic, for many times we did not do anything to the Empire, so we were ignored and endured at the same time. However, "

Feng deliberately kept his voice low, and glanced cautiously outside the carriage by the way, and only when he saw that the imperial soldier in the blue uniform was still staring seriously at the carriage ahead of him, he whispered:

"We can unite all opponents to overthrow the reign of Rex II and rebuild our kingdom. ”

"Collaboration?" questioned in a low voice.

"Yes, the Cruster Empire, that's them. Half of the culture of the Avantlay Empire was influenced by the Flame Empire, but the other half was influenced by the Cruz Empire, which ruled the western part of the Avantley Empire, then the Kingdom of Rune was rebuilt in the middle, and finally the rest of the old nobles established some states in the east that we controlled. By aligning ourselves with the Cruxtian Empire, we will be able to ensure that the fruits of our victories will not be stolen. Feng said with a smug face, this style did not seem to match his simple, specially handsome face.

"I'm going to take a good look at you, Wind. Instant whispered, leaned closer to Instant's body to take a closer look, and sniffed it by the way.

"What are you doing!" the wind pushed him away with some anger.

"I smell if there's a person hiding in your body. Momentarily said with some intriguing.

"What do you mean by that?" said the wind with some anger.

"You just said that you are loyal to the Avantley Empire and the army, why did you start studying rebellion and collaborating with the enemy in the second sentence. But I guess your loyalty is time-sensitive, isn't it, and besides, the idea of this rebellion is not easy for you as a sixteen-year-old boy. Maybe your master taught you. You said that he is a man from the Southern Empire, how can he give you some schemes related to the Cruz Empire. Did he ever study there? Instant continued, with a hint of cuteness in his eyes, but mixed with a hint of invisible murder.

"Don't say that these are useless, although this plan has no chance for a while, it will definitely succeed with continuous preparation. I'll just ask you a question, do you do it or not, do you ...... Hmm"

Before the wind finished speaking, he noticed that the wind was a little anxious, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his white palm, and erected his fingers on his lips, prompting him to be quiet.

"I promise you, and I won't have any conditions. I'm disappointed in this empire, I was one step away from gaining the power of the dragons today, and that step would be enough for me to awaken my sleeping bloodline, but that war fanatic Rex II was looking for someone to spy on us, and I had to stop. I also know that if I do become a dragon in the capital, you and I will be executed by the Avontele Empire. Moreover, the destination of this trip to the outskirts is most likely the abandoned ruins and workshops, and the Empire will send someone to receive the dragon. Even if you didn't mention it just now, I don't want to mention it. However, "

Instantly smiled eerily and continued:

"Your teacher must have a better way. At the very least, he was still Rex II's former enlightenment teacher, and in terms of seniority, Rex II had to bow to him when he saw him. ”

Feng nodded, and said in an affirmative tone:

"In recent years, Avantley's national policy has generally been to feed the war with war. But it's more about plucking the hair from the sick old cat in the south. One or two ports in the east that were relatively close to Yingguo, and a lot of useful land south of Lake Ribel in the south, which originally belonged to their northern border, made the empire gain a lot of benefits from this. But, ouch. ”

The carriage jerked suddenly, causing Instant's head to hit the top, and he couldn't help but scream.

"I'm sorry, captor, there is a problem with the road here, what happened a long time ago has not been fixed yet, if there is any more, please bear with me. There is a forest in front of you, and after that, you will be in the direction of the island in the middle of the river. Your Majesty is going to put the dragon in the middle of the river, so, uh, you have to be patient anyway. The Imperial soldier who was driving the car said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's all for the Empire. Feng took the opportunity to reply, and after that, lowered his voice again, and continued:

"But the empire can't continue to expand, right? The Battle of Cruced, in which His Majesty personally went to the front, was a very difficult victory, but in the end, the Cruster Empire gave up its support for the tribes in the empire and paid a little compensation for military expenses. But this is a very rare signal. ”

"Yes. Avantlet's national fortunes may have come to an end. The empire now is more like a long-distance ship with holes everywhere. The rebel tribes within, the robbery of the Ice Devils in the east, and the Cruster Empire in the west, which is about to free up their hands to focus eastward. This is probably a truce period of more than three months, and when the ice and snow melt next year, there will definitely be a war between our two countries. But the Empire's diplomats were still flexing their muscles and celebrating their victories. That's why I'm going to join you on this mission to find and arrest the dragon. To be honest, this task is not difficult, but it will be a difficult thing to achieve my goal in the end. ”

As he spoke, the surrounding light flickered due to the dense woods.

At the same time, an inopportune chirp made both Instant and Wind become vigilant.

"Dumb - dumb. ”

"The crow's cry seems to be a bad omen. At least according to the ancient culture of the Flame Empire. Wind speculated nervously.

"But ......"

Feng was about to say something, and after a second of inner throbbing, a low whisper began to come out of his ear.

It was like some mysterious creature in his brain was talking, more like the devil whispering in his ear.

"God of Fire. ”

"I heard the sound of a spell. The wind whispered a warning.

"Has the ability to explore been triggered?" asked Instant, a little anxiously.

"Like. No, the spell continues. "The spirit of the wind seems to be starting to get a little out of order.

"You can give strength to your subjects who believe in you. ”

"O holy weapon you have given me. ”

"Now I'm in control. ”

"Defend quickly!" shouted the wind.

He knew that when the incantation was finished, the ritual of magic would begin, and that his ability to "explore" would perceive some additional dangers for him.

However, at this moment, there was a flash of light on both sides of the carriage.

Immediately after, two intense flames mixed with the smell of gasoline slammed into the carriage like two long whips.

Rumble!

Intense red flames mixed with a suffocating black fog instantly enveloped the carriage.

When the first wisps of smoke cleared, the masked men who had been lying in ambush around them saw a strong smell of corruption in addition to horses and a charred human body.

"Mr. Kyle's deployment is truly foolproof. Although it was a risky move for Clayter, his calculations were always accurate. Said the man in the lead, holding a revolver.

Although he wore a mask for the nobility on his face, the calmness of his words made people feel unquestionable.

"Will the Exploding Stone, the Southern Empire's artifact, hurt Clayte? The skinny man behind him, also wearing a mask, asked.

"The flame in Clayte's body is like the sun on the horizon. Only he burns the share of others, and there is no possibility for us to burn him. Have you read Mr. Yaruko's report, you should do your homework before you do anything for Mr. Kyle. ”

The man in the lead said with a smile, however, in less than a second, the smile on his face stiffened in place like ice.

Then, two rays of light with green and dark blue shields burst out from the flames and smoke of the carriage, and when he saw the light clearly, he realized that the flames had not swallowed the wind and the moment in the carriage.

In other words, his actions were failures.

"And the escort bodyguards, Mr. Kyle and I have counted that. Let's not go up, let him go, he has the power of a demigod. The man in the lead said, taking a few steps back.

Knock, knock, knock.....

As a heavy voice came from behind him, the thin man looked at a picture that shook his soul and was giving him a visual impact.

It looked like a man, but the spikes and green moss-like substance that enveloped him already made him look like a monster.

Although his arms and legs still retained the outline of a human, the strange green light that emanated outward, mixed with the entwined tentacle-like vines, made it impossible for him to make any associations between the monster in front of him and any of the characteristics of humans.
