Chapter 186: Blade and White Dragon
β4E, 201, Last Seed, 25th, 1:00 a.m.
After catching the "tanner", Arthur and Ella spent some time cleaning the supposedly "richest" stronghold, but unfortunately, only a little more than a thousand gold coins were found, and the rest were precious metals that were not so easy to cash in and beautiful gems of various colors, which the tanmaker claimed were "immaculate", each worth at least two thousand gold coins.
It is said that gemstones have a natural attraction for women, but Ella looks at them and has no feelings, just a little glad that she doesn't have to carry a few large boxes of gold coins back.
"Are you going back to Snowy City? I know a shortcut that can shorten the day's journey to half a day. Since the tanner could not defeat anyone, he was only symbolically tied, and after being taken out of the fort, he said to the two members of the comrade-in-arms who were looking around to observe the environment.
"Heh," Ella glanced at the vampire captive, "because we were sure that we wouldn't kill him for the time being, so we started to make small moves, the 'shortcut' may be close, but it must also be convenient for him to escape." β
"It's a bit dangerous, you might run into trolls and bears, but it's not a problem for the comrades." The tanner was spotted with a little trick and replied with a sneer.
"Hmph, if those guys with muscles in their heads were here, I'd probably really listen to you," Ella snorted and turned to Arthur, "Hey, Arthur, hurry up and transform, I still have to ride." β
The speed of this change of face made the tanner dumbfounded, and he did not have the heart to think about the problem with the wording for a moment.
"Even if you say that, I don't know how it changed." Arthur tried to stretch his arms and jumped twice, but nothing changed.
"Huh...... Do you have to bite you? Ella licked her lips and her eyes wandered: "Exclusive mount? β
"You'd better not have the idea of 'bite me wherever you want,'" Arthur shuddered, "It was fine at night, and a dragon flew around the snow in broad daylight, and that Millmenier was the end." β
"So, as long as it's night?" "Uh, this ......"
What a dragon, day and night, the tanner was confused, and when he tried to speak again, he saw the strange werewolf walk up to the young man of Nord, and put her arms around his neck and snorted.
Bang! The violent air currents and explosions blasted the tanner far away, and he was dizzy and unable to get up.
"Ahaha! And sure enough, it was! Ella laughed as she hugged the neck of the giant red dragon, "Let's go back to Xueman, remember to take that vampire with us - don't let him come up, just grab the rope and hang underneath." β
"[(Dragon) has probably caught the attention of the guards before! We can't fly in so grandly! The red dragon roared, stretched out its huge claws and grabbed the tanner, its wings spread out and soared into the air.
"Don't worry~I won't use this trick often~" Ella, who was sitting on the back of the dragon, patted the dragon scales that were afraid of the red dragon.
[(Dragon) Don't pretend to understand without understanding! Arthur flapped his wings and circled, recognizing the direction of the snow and began to fly that way.
In those ancient texts, there is no mention of the reason why the Dragonborn can become a dragon...... Is it because of the resurrected dragons?

[(Dragon) Wait a minute! γβ
After the tanner begged him for the third time and Ella refused, a huge dragon roar rang out behind Arthur, startling them who didn't know dragon language at all.
If the purpose of the black dragon was to resurrect all the ancient dragons, then sooner or later he would face a situation full of dragons, and the air battle in the form of a dragon was unavoidable, so it would not be a bad thing to encounter and familiarize himself with it in advance, but before that, he had to put Ella down and throw the tanner out.
"(Dragon) Wait for me! "Far behind him, a white dragon is rapidly approaching.
"[(Dragon's) What's the matter? Arthur replied with a low roar, and at the same time began to think about countermeasures, the white dragon should be of the ice and snow type, so it can be a little troublesome if you are slow, especially if you don't have much spitting eyes at the moment, and you can't breathe, and you can only rely on melee combat to fight.
[(Dragon)...... Why are you so big? The white dragon flew up to Arthur, then glared at him and began to daze - the red dragon in front of him was more than twice its size.
"[(Dragon) Born, you just want to ask this? Seeing that this dragon was so "pocket-sized", Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, at least if he really fought, he could fight with his size advantage.
"No, I stopped you becauseβyou look so good, can you be my father?] The white dragon replied.
"......" Arthur was dumbfounded, forgetting to flap his wings for a moment and fall for a few seconds.
"[My name is Sophie Laniel, and I live in the Neki Grove to the north," the white dragon continued, "[My father 'Sacroniel' and I were woken up by a dragon called 'Alduin' not long ago, and he told us to wake up more dragons and then left, but there were many humans with strange weapons lying in ambush nearby, killing my father, and I escaped while they were not looking. γβ
Not...... Arthur remembered the "dragon stone" that he had given to the mage of Longxiao Palace, Fa Renjia, there seemed to be many burial sites of ancient dragons on it, and it seemed that someone had heard that the resurrection order above was regular, if someone got this rule, they would ambush in the dragon tomb in advance, and they could kill the dragon when it had just awakened and its strength had not fully recovered.
As for the little white dragon running to recognize his father...... He is not a dragon, how can he know the customs of dragon society? Could it be that these dragons can't grow up without the care of their elders?
"[(Dragon) 'Sarloknier'? Arthur repeated the name: "Do you know a dragon called 'Millmenir'? γβ
"[Daddy seems to know him, but he doesn't know him well,] "White Dragon, or Sophie Laniel, stared at Arthur: "[Are you my father?] If I don't want to, I'll go find another dragon. γβ
Even if you want to, you have to know how to raise a dragon, Arthur is a little worried, and this red dragon form can't be maintained all the time, even if this little guy is a young dragon, but if he sees himself becoming a human, maybe he will open his mouth to be a dragon's breath.
Whewββ! An arrow flashing with an ominous black light flew from the ground like lightning, Arthur hurriedly flapped his wings to block in front of the white dragon, the arrow penetrated the scales of the red dragon without hindrance, and stuck on the wing, and half of the wing instantly lost consciousness.
Ha, Arthur thought of the whole thing in a flash of lightning, the guys who killed Sarlonier have been tracking Sophie Laniel, and it is precisely this "habit" that they plan to use this "habit" to hunt more dragons, and it is strange that the two dragons have been roaring like this for a long time in dragon language, and it is strange that they will not be discovered.
Even if he may need to slay the troublesome dragons in the future, this young dragon must be saved now!
βγYolγοΌβ Arthur yelled at his wings - while he hadn't acquired the dragon soul to use the spit in human form, he was now a dragon himself, a blazing flame enveloping the red dragon's wings, sweeping away the arrow and the toxins it had bringed.
[(Dragon) is incredible. Sophie said dumbfounded.
"[(Dragon) I've decided to be your father! Now follow me! Arthur greeted the little white dragon, and then roared to the ground: "[Fus]! β
Many humans in standard black armor and armed with repeaters and arc knives appeared on the nearby vantage point, but the next moment they were blown down by a gust of wind, striking each other and turning on their backs.
"Huh, 'Blade'? When did their sphere of influence expand to Skyrim? Ella seemed to recognize their identities and frowned at the humans.
"What's that? It doesn't matter,]" Arthur flapped his wings, although it was still a little painful but acceptable, so he slapped the little white dragon who was still in a daze: "[Come with me!] γβ
The two dragons flapped their wings and were out of range of those men's attacks at great speed.
"The 'Blade Warriors' are an organization that has existed since ancient times, originally a pure dragon slayer, and later became the royal guard of the Septin Empire, they should be in the capital province of Sylodir at this time!" Ella hugged the red dragon's neck tightly and explained loudly, "The news of the appearance of a dragon in the sky can't spread so quickly, right?!" β
"Slowlyβ" The leatherman's rope had been loosened at some point, and he was dragging it to scream in the wind, "I can't be as advanced as a batβ"
ββ4:30ββ
In the Moon Wasca settlement, Krako's white-maned room, Arthur and Ella brought the "White Dragon" after locking up the cobbler.
"Hmm......" Krako Whitemane, who was a little unconscious, looked at the people in front of him: "You woke up the old man in the middle of the night to tell me that you have a child, right?" Well, congratulations~"
"Old man, has anyone ever said that your sense of humor is sometimes very inappropriate?" Ella clutched her forehead and sighed, "We're looking for your guidance." β
"While it sounds hard to believe that I became a dragon and then adopted a dragon that could turn into a little girl, it was better than me and Ella having a baby - wow! What are you doing! Arthur's right hand was badly bandaged because it had been shot and burned by arrows, but the next moment it was twisted by Ella.
"Hello grandpa." Standing in front of Ella and Arthur was a little girl in a pink and white plush dress, with pink hair and blue eyes, a round face, a short horn on each side of her forehead, and a thin pom-pom tail behind her, who bowed slightly to Krako Whitemane: "My name is 'Sophie Laniel', you can call me 'Sophie'." β
When Sarrocknir is resurrected the next time, he will have to ask how he taught his daughter......
