Chapter 89: Dragons and the Wizarding World (Dragon Knight Arc)
When Zheng Ming's vision returned to normal again, it found that it had appeared in another place.
Blue sky, white clouds, warm sun, refreshing breeze. This ordinary thing is so precious to Zheng Ming, who has just experienced the void. It greedily took a deep breath of fresh air, rubbed its dry eyes and looked around.
In a wide open space made of white stones, there was a pitch-black six-pointed star array. The six-pointed star array was composed of countless fine and intricate lines, which resembled words and graffiti, unlike any writing system that Zheng Ming knew. Although the six-pointed star array here was very similar to the blood-colored six-pointed star array that Zheng Ming had seen before, it was very different in the subtle parts.
Zheng Ming found that he was in the center of the six-pointed star array at this time, and there was an item on each of the six sharp corners of the six-pointed star array. There is a sapphire necklace, a two-handed sword encrusted with rubies, an emerald and gemstone ring, a golden shield carved with a lion, a staff made entirely of silver metal and inlaid with black gemstones, and a diamond the size of a child's fist.
“em…… What is this cult summoning ritual? Inexplicably became a boss after being thrown into a strange world? ”
Zheng Ming searched through the pictures in his mind, but found that only those scenes of summoning demons or evil gods in the anime matched the six-pointed star circle in front of him and the previous scene. It rubbed its brow in a headache, becoming more and more irritated about the situation in front of it.
After realizing that this was likely to be a summoning circle, Zheng Ming hurriedly looked at the figure that had swept by before. At this time, the figure also approached it with a look of hesitation.
It wasn't until this careful observation that Zheng Ming discovered that the other party was actually a rare beauty. His beauty is only slightly inferior to his appearance at this time.
He had the appearance of a Caucasian, blonde Westerner. His short shoulder-length blond hair was simply tied behind him. There was no expression on his delicate face, and only the changes in his heart could be seen in his fluctuating turquoise eyes.
He wears silver knight armor on his upper body, a battle skirt on his lower body, and his red and silver clothes and his skin tone are white and snowy, exuding a strange beauty.
Zheng Ming was observing the other party, and the other party was also looking Zheng Ming up and down. I saw that he was holding a horned steel helmet in his left hand, and he had already walked closer. Two meters apart, the two looked at each other silently.
"Uh...... Should I say something? ”
“……”
The other party didn't answer, but tilted his head slightly, revealing a look of doubt.
"For example, if I came in response to the call, I was the one you called? Or say what you wish or something. ”
Facing Zheng Ming's joking question, the other party actually thought seriously for a while and then replied: "Hello." My name is Arthur, and I called you. My desire is to be strong and protect others. But ......"
At this point he paused, and continued in a confused whisper, "I'm summoning Dragon, not a human. ”
A simple sentence of dialogue allowed Zheng Ming to receive a lot of important information. First of all, unlike when I was summoned before, the other party actually spoke in English! Secondly, the other party seems to have some tendons and can't distinguish jokes.
Then there is the voice of the other party. This person named Arthur had a very deceptive soft voice, and if he closed his eyes, Zheng Ming couldn't hear whether the owner of the voice was male or female.
"Huh? Wait......"
Zheng Ming's attention shifted from Arthur's height, which he couldn't get much higher than himself, to the other party's flat chest, and he decided to ask out loud just in case.
"Uh-huh...... That one...... This, you are male or female. ”
After thinking about it, he couldn't find a way to ask the other party's gender without a trace, Zheng Ming decided that all his IQ and EQ were offline, and he was a straightforward stunned young man.
Arthur was slightly stunned under Zheng Ming's sudden question, and then he nodded in understanding, and explained in a flat tone.
"I'm a man."
"Huh?"
Zheng Ming, who was still expecting an explanation, rubbed his chest uncomfortably when he saw that the other party was gone. Thinking of his deceptive appearance that is not much better than the other party, he opened his mouth to explain.
"Ah~~~ understandable, understandable. After all, he has a very deceptive face. I'm also often misunderstood. You may not believe it, but I'm also a man. ”
"Huh~~~~~? Eh~~~~~~! ”
Looking at Arthur in front of him, who was staring at himself blankly, and kept exclaiming, Zheng Mingdan rubbed his temples in pain. The contrast between the other party's bland and serious performance and the reaction at this time made it feel hurt even more.
"Hey! Surprised? Don't you also have a face that is indistinguishable from that of male and female? ”
"Oh. Sorry, I was rude. ”
Damn, surprised that it's so cute. Phew, Phew, Phew.
Frightened enough by his dangerous thoughts, Zheng Ming quickly patted his cheeks to cheer up, and opened his mouth to ask for information about this world.
Arthur was far more upright than Zheng Ming imagined. As Zheng Ming continued to ask questions, the other party revealed all the information 1510.
After some exchanges, Zheng Ming finally had some basic understanding of the world in front of him.
It's a world of dragons and magic. In this world, chivalry is prevalent, with supernatural powers such as magicians and dragon knights.
Legend has it that dragons made a pact with humans a long time ago. At the promise of the dragon god, there will be a period of dragon knights every hundreds of years to compete for the dragon spine sword left behind by the dragon god. And Zheng Ming was summoned by Arthur.
"But I didn't expect to summon humans. Is it because I'm a Dragonborn? ”
Hearing Arthur's confused words, Zheng Ming looked at himself speechlessly. No matter how you look at your pale blue translucent body, it can't be a normal human, right?
Once again, he refreshed his cognition of Arthur's thick nerves, and Zheng Ming activated his transformation ability for the first time in a long time.
"Transfiguration. Ancient Drake form. ”
With a thought in his mind, Zheng Ming silently turned into a Dragon. I saw that the scales on its body seemed to be made of obsidian, and there were occasional blue flashes on it. The wings were flare with sharp barbs at the tips and tails, and they emit a faint black glow like the claws on all four legs.
"Roar."
After raising his slender neck and roaring towards the sky, Zheng Ming twisted his neck and flicked his tail in dissatisfaction. Although it can still control the body at this time, it is still a little awkward to be accustomed to the human body all year round.
Zheng Ming put on a posture that he thought was majestic, and asked Arthur with a smug face, "Who said I wasn't from Dragon?" What do you think? ”
Arthur looked at Zheng Ming with a strange expression, spreading his wings and leading his neck to the sky.
"It's really what Dragon looks like. But you're too young, how can I ride like this? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured in mid-air.
Realizing that his dragon body, which was less than two meters long, was indeed a bit of a loss of Dragon's face, Zheng Ming suddenly shouted in annoyance.
"What? Who is smaller? I'm still young, I can grow longer. And you, you sissy, want to ride me? ”
Regardless of whether Zheng Ming shouted these words with ambiguity or not, it was obviously annoyed and angry, and he didn't consider his own situation when he said this, and there was a momentum of hurting each other.
Arthur was also taken aback by Zheng Ming, who had violent mood swings, but he was clumsy in words, so he could only repeat the words of apology in his mouth at a loss.
"It's useless to apologize now. When I was an animal, you still want to ride me? Lao Tzu is no longer accompanied. ”
"Hey...... Come back ....... ”
Seeing that the intelligence gathering is almost the same. Zheng Ming's eyes rolled and he left the next sentence, ignoring Arthur who was holding behind him, and ran out.
"Want Lao Tzu to be a mount? MD, it's inexplicable. What breaks the world? Did Lao Tzu agree? ”
During the escape, Zheng Ming glanced back and saw that Arthur was still in place, just waving at him and shouting something but not chasing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you go back? Last time, I was able to go back because the opponent's base exploded, so this time I want to destroy the world? ”
Just when Zheng Ming was running away and thinking about how to escape from this world and return to the Starfall Continent. Suddenly, the blood-colored six-pointed star circle that had appeared in the void before flew out of it and appeared at its feet.
"What's going on?"
Zheng Ming soon discovered the anomaly. It wasn't that it was still watching its feet as it ran, but that a pillar of light suddenly rose from the blood-colored six-pointed star circle and enveloped it. Shrouded in a pillar of light, it suddenly seemed to be immobilized, unable to move in the slightest.
"We have signed a contract with the dragon god, and we can't violate it at will."
Looking at Arthur who came with a calm and complacent expression, Zheng Ming was angry.
"You didn't say it sooner! I said, why are you so laid-back? Do you want to see me laugh on purpose? ”
"You ran away before I could say it. Then I yelled at you, and you didn't listen. Forget it, I'll let you out first. This time it's your time, plus you just want to break the contract and run away, so the punishment is not too heavy. Not necessarily after that. ”
Arthur reminded as he stretched out his hand and pressed the pillar of light, only to see a black six-pointed star circle appear under his feet. The black light of the black six-pointed star circle and the blood light of the blood-colored six-pointed star circle blended with each other, and finally dissipated.
Zheng Ming regained his mobility, looked at the two six-pointed star arrays and pillars of light that had been neutralized and dissipated one after another, stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
"You don't have to worry, the contract is a two-way contract, it's not a slave contract. We are companions, not master and slave. ”
Arthur's plain but unusually sincere tone made Zheng Ming frown. Suddenly thrown into that hellish void, the result of the decision to leave the void turned out to be the signing of a contract.
All of this made it irritable. It didn't bother to make any more disguises, so it simply returned to its original appearance, and it said with a slight anger behind the person.
"Do you know that this kind of seemingly sincere persuasion like yours is annoying? Forget it, the fact that I'm your mount doesn't seem to be escapable anyway. In that case, shall we? ”
"Let's go? Where to? ”
Seeing Arthur asking himself in a daze, Zheng Ming's anger rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but stab in a weird way.
"I want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass. How? Do you all have to be self-reliant here? ”
"Oh~~~. Hungry huh? I'll take you home. ”
Arthur didn't seem to hear Zheng Ming's mockery, but instead made a sudden realization, stretched out his hand to pull Zheng Ming and was about to go back.
Zheng Ming looked at Arthur, who was holding his wrist and walking in front, pulling him to hurry at a loss, and sighed lightly, giving up the idea of breaking free.
"For the sake of you going to take me 'home' with me, I'll spare you this time."
I don't know if it's Arthur or to myself, Zheng Ming explained in a low voice in a low voice, then opened his legs that were in place and let the other party pull him out.
