When they saw Erin alone with the dragon, the dragoons couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's the best outcome, and it's worth it, no matter what it costs her.

The familiar and unfamiliar name brought together a few half-dead old fellows, trying to remember if they had heard or seen similar accounts somewhere, or why they had a sense of déjà vu at first sight. Compared with this cute act of rummaging through the pile of old papers, a more realistic and urgent problem seems a little cruel.

Before she could return to her residence, Erin was called to the council chamber. A group of people were already waiting there, including her father. Looking at my father's gloomy face, I knew that things were not going well.

In the plaza outside the council chamber, Maya looked around vigilantly, twitching her nose from time to time. The magic here is jerky, foul-smelling, and thin.

What about the boys? Where is the other girl? Why aren't they here? Maya began to wonder in disappointment. Although the people around it gave it a sense of familiarity, it didn't want to be around this group of weak guys. However, it also knows that the situation is stronger than people, and it can only be wronged for a while at present.

Maya shook her slender neck and snorted in dissatisfaction. Two young people not far away made it feel very uncomfortable. The gaze that looked at them, and the gestures of the gestures, seemed to have become their appendages.

It's a dragon, not a muddy beast. Even the boy who rescued him, and the girl who hurt him with despicable means, never showed this attitude.

Maya thought about it carefully, and yes, the girl saw herself as an adversary, a prey, and a captive. The boy was even more eccentric, his attitude was cold, but it was more like an alienation from a stranger. When he came to him to steal the magic power, he didn't attract rejection.

Those who are really qualified to regard it as a plaything are given the most basic respect. And how dare these two young people in front of them treat it with such an attitude?

By the time Maya's anger grew, Erin in the council chamber was furious. These people were so shameless that they held her responsible for Zoya's killing of the dragoon. As a friend, she has an obligation to restrain Zoya's actions, so she must also compensate for the damage caused by Zoya.

Erin glanced at the people in the hall, her chest tightly blocked. No matter what happens outside, when you return to the clan, you have to follow the rules of the clan. As a dragoon, it is impossible for her to involve outsiders in the decisions of the clan.

Zoya had already guessed the predicament she might face, so she said something that no one else would be allowed to touch when she left, hoping to take over the pressure.

But she couldn't do that, even if Zoya could easily bear it, even if Zoya wanted to. Because once you do it, I'm afraid you will be isolated by your clansmen. Moreover, by shifting all the responsibility to her friends behind her back, she will also be discredited.

Perhaps, the group in front of her is waiting for her to make the wrong choice, so that they can easily get everything from her.

When Zoya left, she said that she had to go down the road alone.

Erin understands that there are many things she will have to face alone.

She knew what the real purpose of the group was, but they were still a little complacent. Erin controlled her breathing, letting the anger in her heart gradually subside.

She raised her chin slightly, showing a condescending streak. At this moment, Erin seems to be back with Dani, mimicking everything about her with Zoya.

The chamber fell silent, and everyone looked at Erin strangely. From the frustration upon entering the door to the rage, everything was expected. Just when people thought the dust was settled, things began to change.

The girl was still standing there, and her posture had not changed significantly, but her temperament was slowly changing. She gradually stabilized, gradually became unshakable, like a rock that stood out.

Everyone in the council hall was overwhelmed by her momentum for a while, and became silent.

At this time, Erin was not angry and arrogant, she calmly took a step forward and raised her voice: "Since childhood, you elders have warned us not to be clever and let us be people according to our duties. You say that you will treat everyone fairly, and that we will be loved, united, courageous, and fearless even in the face of death.

I used to believe it, but as I grew up, I realized that it was all a lie. Like you now, it's a complete joke.

But what's even more ridiculous is that I still believe in it. That's why I'm standing here in front of you, not by the strength of my friends. even, at the expense of drifting away from them.

I betrayed the trust of my friends and stole their secrets, and you said that all this is for the sake of the people, for the sake of the big picture. I've come back here with some knowledge of wizards, but you don't have enough. I don't think I'm good enough, not good enough to endure humiliation. But I brought them back anyway.

But what about you? you want to keep this knowledge for yourself, so that the wizards in our clan have not improved much. None of the wizards who had been sent to the Northdearth were willing to return, so that there was no one in the Clan at the slightest disturbance.

Now you're still on top of the inside, but what about the outside?"

Erin looked around at the crowd, "Right and wrong, good or bad, you're always going to come up with all sorts of words. Fortunately, we are dragoons and can speak with strength. So let's duel, the winner decides everything. ”

Hall's face changed, and he raised his voice and said, "Irene!"

Erin deaf ears to the shout, "Or maybe I'll challenge you." ”

"Arrogant!" someone couldn't help but reprimand.

Erin glanced at her contemptuously, "Then let's start with you." I hope you remember the honor of the dragoon and will not run away from the sacred duel. ”

"You ......"

On that day, after Erin proposed a duel with righteous words, she ushered in the first challenge with the black dragon. When her opponent appeared in the dueling arena on a ground-walking dragon, Erin also straddled Maya's neck and raised her sword......

No one can deprive her of her dragon until the duel is won.

Hall looked at his daughter, who was showing off her strength in the dueling arena, and her eyebrows fluttered. My daughter has really grown up, and she has finally learned badly......

Maya's neck wasn't that easy to ride, and Erin was only on the field for a short time. For this insignificant moment, she began a long career as a "maid".

The matter ended in a farce, and while gritting his teeth, he was reluctant to give up the baby of the black dragon. Therefore, there is a lot of what should be given, and there is no less than what should not be given......

In the pampered environment of the dragoon, Maya did not have much spirit. Only Erin knew that it wanted to suck the magic again. This reminded her of Maya's appearance when she came to Bran's side, well-behaved and sensible.

Not knowing what the situation was in Northland City now, she decided to take time to take Maya to recognize the way.

......

Northland City, as always, there are still people who are happy and some people who are sad.

Charlotte, for example, has been happy lately. The great wizard, who has always ignored the outside world, actually deliberately told her that she was safe. He said: Zoya is fine, so she doesn't have to worry. Things that don't matter to the great wizard have a different meaning in the eyes of the people around her, so her life is much better.

For Bran, Charlotte was dispensable, and the feedback was just a courtesy. He could not care about Charlotte's feelings, but he couldn't ignore Zoya. After being polite, I put this matter behind me.

He was now preoccupied with guarding the ancient tree, because the ancient tree was about to wake up. Flying Feathers, White Wolves, and Snow Falcon are all abnormal today. Flying Feather's eyes were scarlet and energetic, and the white wolf and the snow falcon collectively went on strike to the sidelines.

First, there was a crack, and a slight crack appeared in the tree. Then, like a firecracker, the sound of crackling came and went, and there were more and more cracks on the tree. Eventually, a small piece of debris crumbles first, and a chain reaction ensues. Fragments, large and small, followed, disintegrating and detaching.

After the top layer is peeled off, the next layer begins to repeat the previous process.

The flying feathers, white wolves, and snow falcons, which had been crouching beside them, swarmed up and began to frantically grab the fragments. Bran looked curious, and picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, but he didn't taste anything for a long time. It's just that the body of the tree, which used to be difficult to be injured by swords, has become crispy after turning into shards all over the ground.

The ancient tree is too tall, and the debris that falls off is enough for white wolves and snow falcons to eat. When it was round, it was like a drunken staggering and squeezing together and falling asleep.

Fei Yu still had red eyes and lowered his head to eat. Looking at the already bulging belly, Bran was afraid that it would break. said tentatively: "Sleep first, and I'll help you take care of the rest." ”

Fei Yu paused, Mu Ran raised his neck as if he wanted to nod, but his head was tilted to one side. Then, more and more crookedly, he slid his whole body towards the ground......

The molting process continued for several days, and when a white bald rod without any branches and leaves stood in front of him, Bran almost fainted. And in order to prevent the oversized bald rod from falling, he had to turn into ash smoke and hold it tightly.

Seeing this, Exploration directly lifted Huahua out of the canopy with both hands, respectfully put it on the ground, and then quickly hid in the distance. Huahua first stretched her waist, then jumped in front of her ancient tree and habitually stretched out her claws to grind on it.

This claw completely awakened the ancient tree from its slumber. So in the midst of the complaints, the strange cat face first emerged from the trunk of the tree. Then the lower third of the trunk split in two and turned into legs, standing firmly without Bran's help. And the upper third of the place also opened up and turned into branches, and green leaves gradually grew, and vines emerged......

Seeing this, the explorer who had just run away rushed back, picked up Huahua respectfully with both hands, and carefully put it back into the canopy.

Bran looked carefully inside and out, and the ancient tree, which was half smaller, was a little stupid.
