Worm seemed to think of something, so he said, "When I was in Black Pine Forest, I heard someone say that there was a Westlin swordback dragon in the kingdom.

I don't know if it's still there, I don't know if it has dragon eggs, and if it's not a dragon, is it okay?"

"I've heard about it, too, and I sent a message a few days ago for Count Rodman, the lord of Winterhold, to send someone to drive it away, but the dragon left Greystone and disappeared, thinking it had flown away.

I'm going to have Rodman investigate again. The king replied immediately.

If you hurry up from the royal city to the town of Greystone in Winter Castle, it will take about three days to get there. The king said worriedly.

Princess Thea suddenly thought of something, and said to the king, "It would be nice if there was anyone who had seen that sword-backed dragon, and we could at least determine whether it was a female dragon or not by describing it." ”

"Oh, what's the difference between the male and female of this sword-backed dragon? There must be a mercenary from the mercenary union in Wangcheng who went to Greystone Town a while ago, so I'll send someone to inquire now. The king was surprised.

"It's really hard to tell if other dragons are different, but the swordback dragon is an exception.

Regardless of the type of stegosaurus, the male dragon had two long horns on the back of his head, more than twice as long as the bone spurs on his head and neck.

However, the horns behind the female dragon's head were much shorter, almost as long as the bone spurs on the head and neck, and those who knew could tell the male and female of the swordback dragon at a glance. Princess Thea explained.

The elves have dealings with some wise dragons, so they know far more about dragons than humans.

Everyone was amazed, fortunately Princess Thea was here, otherwise it would have taken them a lot of time just to find out whether this Westlin swordback dragon was male or female, but what they lacked the most was time.

After a while, a waiter came in from outside the hall, and everyone held their breath, not to mention how nervous they were. The waiter was about to whisper in the king's ear, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand. "None of this is an outsider, can you ask clearly?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the description of several people is the same, the dragon has no horns. The waiter bowed and replied.

"Whew......" everyone exhaled in unison, at least sure it was the head female dragon.

Chi Gu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let me go, give me a guide, if there is really a dragon egg, it can also save a lot of time." Chi Gu recommended himself.

"I'll go too, I'm more familiar with dragons. Princess Thea stepped forward and said to the king.

Seeing that Princess Xiya actually proposed to go with him, Chi Gu was inexplicably happy in his heart.

"No! it's too dangerous! Dragons aren't easy to mess with. Ah Gu, you are still a child, you have helped us too much, and Her Royal Highness the princess is even more golden, if you are damaged, how can I explain to Her Majesty?" the king vetoed.

Any race is full of fear of the dragon clan, and the dragon clan, as the overlord of the Continent of the Gods, is naturally not to be underestimated, he doesn't dare to let Chi Gu and Princess Xiya take this risk.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, if the dragon is really laying eggs, it will definitely not stay for long.

Dragon eggs take years or even decades to hatch, and they usually hide the eggs and leave. And my life magic should be able to find out where the dragon eggs are hidden, so I have to go. Thea said firmly.

Chi Gu also hurriedly said: "Me too, this matter is too important, I have been living in the jungle, and I must know more about the habits of animals than the warriors of the kingdom, Your Majesty promised me, let me go!"

The king hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dalles, and when he saw Darles nodding, he said, "Well, but be careful, you must come back if you can't do anything."

Bone, you must protect Princess Thea, and I will send a guide to Wintercastle with you, where there are people familiar with Greystone. ”

Thus Cheekbone and Princess Thea left the palace together. On the way back, both of them remained silent tacitly.

"That...... Princess Xiya, what do I need to bring tomorrow?" The awkward atmosphere made Chi Gu uncomfortable, and as a man, he still felt that he should take the initiative first.

"Just call me Thea, aren't we friends?" Princess Thea lowered her head, but fortunately her long dark green hair covered most of her ears, otherwise she could see that Thea's ears were red at the root.

"Ah, so we're friends? Hey, Thea, your name is so nice. ”

The lingua franca of Chi Gu is really limited, and he really doesn't praise girls very well, and it is already his cultural limit to be able to say that Thea's name is good.

Chi Bone's naïve appearance made Xia a little funny, but Xia was still a little embarrassed to hear Chi Gu say this. I saw that her pace was a little faster, and her face hiding in the dark was even redder.

Early the next morning, Chi Gu first asked the waiter to bring a message to Teacher Ace and the teachers of the Kingdom Academy, telling them that he had something to do with his trip these days and would not go to class.

Carrying his spear and backpack, he waited outside the Temple of Life.

Thea was supposed to live in the palace because of her special status, but Thea felt that the atmosphere of the Temple of Life was more suitable for her, and she had been discussing doctrine and magic with the priests of the temple for the past few days.

As the princess of the elven race, Thea is as popular as a messenger of the gods in the eyes of the believers of these goddesses of life.

When she came to the door of the temple, Thea was already waiting there, and the bishop and many priests stood at the door to see her off, and the reluctance in everyone's eyes could be felt from afar.

There was also a guard at the door, leading three unusually tall black horses.

When the guard saw the bone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "Lord Earl, I am a guide sent by His Majesty the King, and this is the black-scaled horse that His Majesty has given to you and His Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Black-scaled horse?" Cheekbone looked at the black horse in front of him suspiciously.

The black-scaled horse is a very powerful horse just by looking like a horse, and its tall and strong body is larger than that of ordinary horses. In particular, the calf area is covered with black scales, which is probably the origin of the name of the black-scaled horse.

Feeling that the Worm Bone didn't seem to have heard of the black-scaled horse, the waiter immediately scolded himself for being stupid, he had long heard that this Lord Earl was not a "local", and he didn't know that this precious war horse was too normal.

The waiter quickly explained apologetically: "The Black Scale Horse is the descendant of the Demonic Beast Flame Scale Horse and the Gallic War Horse, and it is very rare.

Although this black-scaled horse is not a magical beast and is not a fierce beast, its endurance and speed are at least twice that of ordinary horses.

With these black-scaled horses, it is estimated that we will only need a day and a half to reach Wintercastle. ”

The three of them rode on black-scaled horses, said goodbye to everyone, and then hurried out of the royal city.

It wasn't the first time he had ridden a horse, he had ridden all the way from Black Pine Forest Town to Wangcheng.

But the speed of this black-scaled horse was not at all comparable to that of ordinary horses, and the bones learned to lie on the horse's back, but they were still squinted by the wind.

The three of them only rested once along the way, and the physique of Chi Gu and Xiya was nothing, but the waiter could only be regarded as an ordinary person, and the bumps along the way made his face turn blue, and he vomited as soon as he stopped.

The waiter endured the discomfort, and the group reached Wintercastle within a day and a half.

Wintercastle is a border county of El Xever, guarding the easternmost part of El Xelville. The three of them came to the city of Winter Castle, and after showing the king's documents to the soldiers on the city wall, they were respectfully led by the soldiers to the city lord's mansion.

Count Rodman, the lord of Winterhold, who received the news, personally received them. The Rodman family has guarded Winterhold for generations, and loyalty and courage are synonymous with the Rodman family.

To the east, Xavier is bordered by the Kingdom of Zesel, and there is always friction between the two countries.

The first head of the Rodman family, after taking over as Lord of Winterhold, moved the castle to the highest cliff on the border of Winterhold.

This is to warn the clansmen and the Rodman family of the Zesell Kingdom to guard the gateway of AXavier for the rest of their lives, and to step into AXavier unless they step over their corpses.

Looking east from the stands of the castle, if the weather is clear and the eyesight is good enough, you can even see the royal city of Zessel, such a natural advantage is also the reason why Wintercastle has been able to suppress Zessel.

In the city lord's mansion, everyone saw the famous Count Rodman, of course, the reason why the bones were able to know the merits of the Rodman family was mainly because the waiter did not forget to chatter about the two even if he was uncomfortable.

Count Rodman was a middle-aged man, only wearing a simple samurai uniform, and he did not see the arrogance and delicacy of the nobility in this person.

Kong Wu's powerful figure matched his eagle-like eyes, and just by looking at the bones, he felt that this person's fighting spirit cultivation was definitely above Teacher Ace, and he was definitely a strong man with combat power at the king level.

"Hello Count Rodman, my name is Chi Gu, and this one next to me is Princess Thea of the Elven Clan. "Chi Gu introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my honourable princess, and you, Count Grimbone. You've come all the way and worked hard all the way. I've had people prepare the delicacies of Wintercastle. "Count Rodman didn't look serious, but very enthusiastic.

He pointed to the young man behind him and introduced: "This is my son Karl, you should be about the same age, you should be closer and closer in the future, this kid is very skinny, but you admire the Earl of the Bone very much, hahaha." ”

This young man who looks like he is about twenty years old is very handsome, and at first glance he is the kind of heroic boy who is very popular with girls.

The young man did not wear aristocratic clothes, but wore a silver metal armor, and his left hand was on the long sword at his waist, which made him fade away from the youthfulness that the boy should have, and looked very calm.

It seems that the rules of the Rodman family are really strict, even if there is no major war with Zessel now, the people of the Rodman family do not enjoy the luxurious life that nobles should have.

Carl saw his father introduce himself, so he stepped forward and gave a standard military salute to the two of them.

From the skillfulness of his movements, it was clear that Carl had definitely brought the rules of the army into his life.
