Chapter 297: Sea Tide
Erin leaned her back to Maya and looked at the belated news in her hand, there were not many things of value, but the word caution made her feel relieved. A sea beast that had never been seen before had appeared here, and they were nothing more than a pile of fat meat in the face of the dragon riders who had been on the lookout for a long time. It's a pity that this fat meat is not delicious, and neither she nor Maya likes it.
On the way back, I figured out a few things. Now she is no longer suitable to live with her clansmen. After coming back, he resolutely moved out and lived away from his people.
She took Maya to patrol the coastline every day, and although it was hard, it was also free. Her brother Aiman tried to persuade her to go back, but she was unmoved. After a few times, my brother lost his patience and said angrily, "You are not Bran, and you are not capable of surviving on your own." And she roared angrily, "I'm not you, a coward. ”
After the two parted unhappily, the brother never came. She knew that her words were a bit excessive, and they really made her brother sad.
She began to envy the Northland, the trials there. A near-life-and-death trial makes people strong, and makes the people there accustomed to solitude and a sense of distance. The bottom line is something that even family members won't touch easily. But her brother didn't understand and wanted to continue to intervene in her life.
Since moving out, Maya's gaze at her has been filled with trust. It seems to enjoy this simple and peaceful life, and when nothing happens, it squats on the beach and looks out to the other side of the sea like a statue. And she will accompany it silently, looking at the sea in a daze.
The situation of the dragoons was very bad, and most of the personnel were trapped in the islands. Most of them are concentrated on the largest islands and are being prepared. The changes on the south coast forced the dragoons to be cautious, and the relocation was delayed. Dragoons are now multi-headed, making many things seem stretched.
In order to protect her people, the focus of her patrols turned to the south. One is that there is a greater threat here, and the other is to avoid Maya's former companions.
The outsiders are still hiding on the islands of the north. Ever since Bran told her the exact location, the Dragoon had sent Wyverns to watch over it day and night. Through the Wyverns, they knew what the group was rummaging around the island.
Although there is no shortage of wild wyverns near this area, there are some differences from the trained wyverns. The latter is larger and stronger, so the wyvern used for surveillance doesn't get too close, and it's difficult for the dragoon to get more detailed information.
What's on that island? It's worth rummaging through by this group of outsiders. Everyone was curious and wanted to figure out why, but the current situation was not suitable for teasing them.
What's more, Bran is also paying attention there. Whatever the outsiders discovered, it would only end up being cheaper for Bran. If it weren't for the fear that the group would be bad for the dragoon, the dragoon wouldn't have been involved in such a thankless event. They had already regretted that they had provoked Bran and offended the outsiders who had nothing to do with it.
Fortunately, Maya more or less comforted them, but it was also a tricky one. How would the outsiders react when they found out that Maya was with them? The dragoons knew that they had been reduced to Bran's pawns in this matter, and there was no room for half-heartedness. So the changes on the island, they sent it to Bran in time.
Erin wasn't sure if this was a deliberate calculation by Bran or if it was the result of the natural development of events. She was troubled by this, as if the heartless Bran was moving away, and gradually became less reassuring.
And that's not all that bothered her. When she left her people for Maya and developed a little trust in each other, her strength grew. She seems to be drawing strength from Maya, and she believes that Maya is aware of it as well. For this reason, they looked at each other with questions and puzzles, but fortunately neither of them felt uncomfortable.
Maya, who is with Erin, feels very comfortable. Dragons rarely live together except in their childhood, but they do not refuse the company of their friends. Come here with those who are called companions, and they know in their hearts what they are. Otherwise, they will not be used and killed.
There's so much to do here. For example, why does Bran run around without hesitation, why does he appear in front of people casually.
In their hometowns, the ancestral dragons have gathered in the sacred mountain for many years, and rarely even act alone. The rumored few outings are more like thieves in Maya's eyes, and they are sneaky and dare not let people find out.
What are they afraid of?
Similar beings in all races also have no head or tail, and the slightest appearance of scales and claws will disappear in an instant.
It wasn't until it came here that many of the things it was accustomed to became different, and it began to think about the hidden possibilities.
Maya loves to listen to Erin tell stories, especially about Bran the wizard.
According to Erin, it was only a few years before Bran touched the Divine Domain. There is no such character in his hometown at all, and it is rumored that only a lucky person has won the favor of the ancestral dragon and inherited all its essence to become the new ancestral dragon.
This kind of person is definitely a world-renowned existence in his hometown. And the people here only think that he is a more powerful person. Moreover, this realization was bought through killing. It's really confused, how dare ordinary people provoke this kind of existence?
And Erin's occasional resentment made it feel incredible, couldn't she see that the other party was no longer flesh and blood?
Thinking of flesh and blood, Maya looked down at the inky scale armor on her body. For a few days, it was complacent. But when Irene takes her past Sandstone City, it's creepy. The transparent figures of the dead roamed around, reminding it of the feeling of its dying soul leaving its body.
That's not a dream!
The little hand grabbed the dying soul and pressed it back into its body. The struggle of the soul and the pain of being forcibly infused with magic are clearly resurfaced.
For a moment, Maya didn't even know what she was. Is it life or death?
Fortunately, Erin was there, and those warm little hands made it gradually suppress the panic in its heart.
It knew that without Erin's own head had become a trophy for others to show off. So, I thought about helping her for a while, and after getting acquainted with the place, I left on my own. But after visiting Northland, Maya began to hesitate. Bran the Wizard is actually a partner with a flock of waste birds, and he stops them with such gentle movements.
According to Erin's explanation, there are many powerful wizards hidden in the Northlands, and Bran even has a very powerful sister. According to the tradition there, there will always be the same animal companions. And that feeling of an old enemy really made Maya panic.
It didn't want to be beaten by the crowd when it was alone, and there would be no one to persuade it, so I was afraid that its life would be in danger.
Looking at Erin beside her, maybe that's not a bad thing. She was more or less entangled with those people, and although she didn't know what had happened between them, those people were okay with her. It could tell that they also saw her as a friend.
Patrolling all the way south, the restlessness of the magic in the wind became more and more obvious. Looking over from the sky, the intersection of the sky and the sea seemed a little distorted, a vision formed by the gathering of magical power.
There must be some powerful existence behind the gathering of magic power of this scale. Maya couldn't help but think of some rumors in the clan, all the sorrows hidden behind the flesh mill. Those beings with a long life are like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows and begin to trap and hunt each other. Some races have declined, while others have prospered.
War is coming, and Erin will bear the brunt of it by its side.
