Chapter 372: Smooth Escape
Wren rushed into the dragon's lair with his heavy blade, but the cavern was empty, except for Matthew Anselon and Gnis, who stood by the pool, their faces full of stunned.
"Where is the black dragon?" Wren asked aloud.
He pretended to search around the lair, and just twenty minutes ago there was a mountain of gold treasures, but now he couldn't find a single gold coin.
The alchemy room next to the cave is also clean, not only the alchemy materials and potions, but all the tools and utensils have been taken away, and there are traces of dragon breath spitting, destroying all the clues, no one can see that this used to be an alchemy room.
"It's not in vain that I've delayed for so long, and I've cleaned up enough. Wren chuckled to himself.
Even the mirrored pool in the middle of the dragon's nest has been destroyed.
The floor of the cave was also scorched by the heat flames, becoming very dry, erasing the footprints and smells, leaving no clues.
The dragon's nest has no value other than the rune circle arranged behind the wall.
The results are already obvious.
Matthew Ansellon's face was ugly, and he shook his head and said, "That dragon has already run away." ”
"Ran away" Wren's eyes widened, looking incredulous, "It's not rumored that the dragon cheated tens of millions of gold shields from Brantania, because there are too many of them, so they are hidden in the lair, are you mistaken?"
"His Crown's prophecy has never gone wrong. The Knight of the Grail said solemnly, but there was uncontrollable doubt in his eyes.
Under the crown is the Nymph of the Lake, who is the spokesperson of the goddess of the lake in the world, has a higher status in Brantania than the Knight King, and is the spiritual leader of all the Knights of the Holy Grail.
When the lake god fairy used prophecy to determine the hiding place of the black dragon, Matthew Anselon was at the scene, and vaguely saw a huge golden treasure, because it was too shocking, the news quickly leaked out, and even the orcs knew about it.
This must be the black dragon's lair, but the treasure is gone, and even the black dragon is gone.
Matthew Anselon looked at his silver dragon companion and wondered: "There is a high probability that Ibisi is an evil dragon, how could she respond to the call of the dragon, could we mistake the lair This is another black dragon"
Silver Dragon Gnes shook her head, unsure.
The deep mud swamp is a vast area, and most of the area is shrouded in fog all year round, and this environment is very popular with black dragons, and there is a high possibility that there are many black dragons hidden in it.
"Your Excellency High Priest, do you know that there are other black dragons in the swamp?"
Matthew Anselon asked the shaman again, after all, this is the territory of the orc tribe, and Direcotta should know better.
"I haven't been to the deep swamp a few times, no more than you know. Where did Wren understand this, he found an excuse to fool the past, his eyes flashed, and he asked instead: "What are you talking about the call of the dragon, and what does it have to do with the black dragon?"
Matthew Anselon and Gnes glanced at each other, and quickly exchanged a few words in their hearts, and the silver dragon replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't tell the high priest. ”
"Don't say it. ”
Wren snorted coldly, put the blade back into his waist, turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave, muttering, "I can find out myself, and if I find the dragon's nest, the treasure will not be a quarter." ”
Matthew Anselon and the two went out with him.
Returning to the ground from the passage, Wren didn't greet them, and jumped directly into the sky with his Sky Survey Wind Rider, and quickly disappeared into the mist of the swamp.
Gnes looked in the direction the dragon had left and whispered, "Matthew, I always felt that something was wrong with this high priest. ”
The Grail Knight was silent for a few seconds, "Something is wrong"
"He has a strong aura of thunder and lightning on his body, but the leakage is a little too much, as if he is deliberately covering up something, and he feels different from when he negotiated with us a few days ago. "There are some subtle differences in the tone of his voice, his accent, and his habits. ”
"And don't you think that this High Priest of Direkota came too coincidentally, and he found the black dragon's lair one step ahead of us. ”
His Warrell Guards have not yet appeared. ”
Yinlong said a few suspicious points.
Matthew Anselon also began to be suspicious, but he didn't believe it very much, someone dared to pretend to be the orc high priest to appear under his nose, frowned and said, "Do you think Direkota and that black dragon are in collusion?"
"Hmph," the silver dragon was noncommittal, "I suspect he's the black dragon." ”
"How is this possible?" the Grail Knight didn't make sense.
If the high priest is the black dragon, he has always been by his side, how did he move the golden treasure in the lair, if the black dragon has already transferred the treasure, why should he appear in front of him, it is simply a superfluous move.
Gnes guessed her lover's thoughts, "Don't forget, we only came when we heard the call of the dragon, and only the dragonborn of the Zogenburg family can blow the call of the dragon, and the black dragon is not without helpers." ”
"Isn't the Dragonborn family already gone," the Grail Knight asked.
"I used to think so, and now it seems that there are still descendants in Drogenburg who have escaped the hunt. If this dragonborn dares to blow the horn, he will definitely not remain silent, and sooner or later he will return to Congartro to try to restore his country and reveal his identity. The silver dragon looked at the eastern sky and said indifferently, "When the time comes, we just need to find this dragonborn and ask for the treasure." ”
"Congartro" The Knight of the Holy Grail sighed helplessly.
Brantania is too far away from Congartro, and it is not known until when the broodborn will appear, and the possibility of retrieving the treasure is not optimistic.
He shook his head slowly, "Gnies, all of this is your guess, and the truth may not even be twenty percent. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings in the sky, different from the sound of the silver winged horses, he and the silver dragon looked up, and Huo Ran saw a group of flying dragons emerging from the mist.
These are the Wind Riders, none other than the Orc Great Chieftain's "Vorryl Guard".
On the back of each Wind Rider is a formidable orc warrior, the most conspicuous of which is a Sky Survey Wind Rider carrying an old orc priest.
"High Priest Direcotta, why is he back"
This was Matthew Ansellon's first thought, and then his heart was shocked, and he looked at his silver dragon and found that Gnies had an expression of "I guessed it" on her face.
The previous Direcotta was a fake
He was the black dragon
The Knight of the Holy Grail regretted it, and felt ashamed that he had been tricked by the black dragon again
"Let's chase after her, she won't be able to escape far, maybe there will be a chance. Gnes immediately revealed the true form of the silver dragon, and waited until her lover jumped on her back and soared into the sky with a flap of her wings.
The Silverwing Pegasus Knight hurriedly followed, leaving behind a group of dazed orcs.
In the middle of the air more than ten miles away from the dragon's lair, the old orc that Wren had turned into suddenly changed his face slightly, and said, "They have found it and are catching up." ”
The Sky Surveyor Wind Rider below him made a voice from his mouth: "How do you know?"
Wren didn't answer.
When he entered the dragon's lair, he casually sprinkled a few small pieces of metal on the ground of the passage, as thin as a needle, and then Matthew Anselon came out of the passage, and sure enough, he stepped on two or three grains, sticking to the soles of his combat boots, each with a metal mark.
Originally, it was just a handy thing, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy.
At this moment, the Knight of the Grail is moving rapidly, which means that his disguise has been revealed.
The flight speed of the silver dragon can be ranked among all the dragons, much faster than the black dragon and the Sky Surveyor, and I am afraid it will not be long before it will be overtaken.
The black dragon immediately turned into a wind peng, and its speed increased suddenly.
Wren also takes on the form of a human ranger.
However, Feng Pengli flew for a moment, and he found that not only did he not get closer to the silver dragon, but he got closer. Every half minute, the metal marker crosses a certain distance, and it is clear that the Silver Dragon and the Grail Knight have some kind of teleportation-like means.
After two or three teleportations, the silver dragon had already chased within a kilometer.
Wren's soul eye pierced through the fog and vaguely saw the huge figure of the silver dragon, and now it was too late to turn, and it was possible to be spotted immediately.
"It came so fast, they caught up. ”
Wren's reminder made the black dragon startled, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What should I do" He didn't want to fight the high-level Holy Grail Knight, even if he added Wren, it was impossible to defeat.
"Go down. Wren made a quick decision.
Feng Peng plunged down and landed in the swamp, obeying Wren's orders, and instantly turned into a high-level shadow leopard.
Wren quickly changed into leather armor, carried an enchanted longbow, hung a short sword and rope around his waist, rolled his blood-colored cloak into the mud under his feet, the bright red turned dirty and black, and then draped it on his body, and rode on the panther to run in the swamp.
The panther subconsciously wanted to run forward, but Wren said, "Turn around and go in the direction of the dragon's nest." ”
The sound of the dragon's call horn was not only heard by the silver dragon, but all the mercenaries and adventurers in the range were also attracted, and many of them were rushing in the direction of the dragon's lair, but the speed was too slow and they were still on the way.
Wren spotted several waves of mercenaries as he left the Dragon's Lair.
If you stay away from the dragon's nest and become an alien, you will be seen through at a glance.
Almost at the same time as they had just finished camouflage, the black panther ran less than a hundred meters, and the figure of the silver dragon appeared in the mist.
A slender and massive dragon swept overhead, and the monstrous dragon power enveloped it.
The panther let out a low roar and collapsed to the ground.
Wren also showed a frightened expression, looking up at the silver dragon flying overhead, trembling all over. He could perceive a sharp gaze sweeping over him, and the dirty, blood-colored cloak worked successfully, obscuring the unique aura.
This makes him look like an ordinary ranger.
The silver dragon did not stop and continued to fly forward, and the Holy Grail Knight on the dragon's back did not notice anything abnormal, and in the blink of an eye, his figure was covered by the mist.
Wren exhaled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He rode the Shadow Leopard up and ran for miles, making sure that the Silver Dragon and the Grail Knight were far enough away from him, so that the Black Dragon could once again turn into a Wind Peng and flee in the other direction.
