It is said that each other is born from the heart. While this statement may not be 100% true, there is some truth to it.

A person who does not smile all year round, his facial muscles will gradually become familiar and expressionless, making him look more serious.

For the same person who has a smile on his face, those laugh lines will be etched on his face, making him look kinder.

This is especially true for Zheng Ming, whose main body is a slime. His human form has changed subtly over the years.

Although he was still young, he could no longer see the slightest childishness on Zheng Ming's face. The originally peaceful eyebrows are also slanted into the temples like a sharp sword, giving people a sharp feeling.

The eyes of humans and animals, which were harmless like fawns before, changed the most, and the bright pale blue pupils turned into jet-black with only a slight purple, like the surface of a bottomless deep pool.

The corners of the eyes that are slightly raised upwards, as well as the eyes that are often squinted, give people a sharp feeling. It is no longer the same as it used to be, and it is harmless to humans and animals.

If Zheng Ming's appearance at that time could still be misunderstood, at this time, coupled with his cold temperament killed in the sea of corpses and blood, he was never misunderstood because of his appearance.

He didn't know the specific reason, but when he came back to his senses, he already found that his appearance was very different from before.

The cold wind howled with the wind and snow, blowing his short black hair to the back of his head, and also blowing the corners of his clothes.

Covered in silver, the occasional flash of pure snow with emerald greenery and earth and stone colors comes into view.

Zheng Ming, dressed in black and with black hair, is particularly conspicuous in this magnificent snow-capped mountain.

This is a snow-capped mountain in Dorne, known for its steep peak.

"Whew~ It's still so cold here. I still like the beach more than here. There is a chance that you can come to my kingdom as a guest. It's a great place to warm up all year round. ”

Zheng Ming, who was moving forward silently, heard the voice and looked to the side.

It was a small, average-looking man. Here, where the height is generally high, the other party is only as tall as Zheng Ming's chest, and even far smaller than some teenagers who are not fully developed.

He had flaxen-colored hair that was as dry as a weed, without the slightest oiliness, and was mostly obscured by a felt hat on his head.

However, this ordinary-looking man has a very prominent identity. He was King Adam of the Adler Kingdom. A man who has no dragon knights but is at the top of the kingdoms.

"Hmm. If there is a chance in the future......"

The reason why Zheng Ming appeared here was because of Adam's invitation. It's been more than half a year since he was sent to guard the Dorne realm.

In this place that has been designated as a battlefield, there has been more than one contact with Adam, the lord of the Aldelian Kingdom.

This time he was invited by Adam to climb the mountain. Of course, it is called mountaineering, but in fact, discussions, negotiations, and confrontations will account for some.

Last time, he suffered a loss at the hands of Adam, resulting in the loss of some more troops when resisting the combined forces of Ronan and Ryan.

Another gust of cold wind carried large snowflakes and poured into the mouths of the two, making people's throats and nasal cavities freeze painfully.

Adam picked up a bottle of liquor used to warm his stomach, poured it hard, wrapped the fur coat on his body, and looked at Zheng Ming in a trench coat with envy.

"I envy you. It is worthy of the strong Dragon in the flesh. Although I think my strength is not weak, my combat power is okay. But as a human being, we still can't resist the cold wind and heat. ”

Zheng Ming glanced at Adam obliquely when he heard this, and replied casually as if he had no intention of doing so.

"You can use energy to counteract the cold, huh?"

Adam didn't respond much, just smiled.

He knew in his heart that although the two sides were called allies, if he dared to expend energy at will and show his weak side in front of the other party, the other party would not mind killing him.

The same is true for the other party. If Zheng Ming really took it lightly, he Adam wouldn't mind giving the other party a ride.

"By the way, why are you in such a place if you are afraid of the cold?"

"Isn't it good to climb mountains and exercise once in a while? It's better than staying in the barracks all the time, right? In addition, a qualified commander will personally observe the terrain before making a plan, so that the plan will not fail due to errors. ”

Speaking of this, Adam thought that the person in front of him seemed to be famous for using the terrain and being good at water and fire, so he immediately showed a wry smile.

"It seems like it's a bit of a class to say this in front of you."

In this way, the two chatted and climbed at the same time. Before you know it, you have climbed to the top of the snow-capped mountain.

And the topic also talked about the various forces.

Zheng Ming: "Do you think all the forces competed, which one could win in the end?" ”

Adam: "King Bach of the Kingdom of Ryan is assisted by Thor, Lord of the Thunder Dragon Herculera. Don't look at the news that their brothers are not at odds with the outside world. In fact, they are very united. Moreover, they are so deep in the highlands and mountain peaks that the soldiers are the most physically robust and brave in battle. ”

Zheng Ming: "But it is also limited by the terrain, they have annexed the least territory and the weakest national strength. ”

Adam: "The kingdom of New Ronan has the longest heritage as a legacy of the ancient kingdom of Ronan. The most mages and the most inheritances. They even have a battle formation method that increases the combat power of ordinary soldiers. Its king, King Cesar, even went so far as to marry Villius, a foreign race from the surrounding small nations, as his queen. With the help of the Lord of the Golden Dragon Dream Gad, it can be said that it is like a tiger with wings. ”

Zheng Ming: "It's a pity that he is ambitious but arrogant. Over the years, he has won a large amount of territory, but he has also lost most of his most elite army. ”

Adam smiled at him when he saw Zheng Ming's constant reversal.

"Oh? And what about the Celtic kingdoms? Although the overall strength of the soldiers is not top-notch, there is a dragon and lion army with superior combat power. There was also the Guards under King Arthur. And every war is unexpectedly won. The number and strength of the strong men displayed by it are far beyond the surface, and it is suspected that it is secretly hiding an army of powerful warriors and mages. ”

Zheng Ming did not answer Adam's slightly tentative question. He stared at Adam silently for a moment, and smiled brightly at Adam, whose eyes flickered slightly.

"Adler Kingdom. There is no dragon knight in the territory that can almost be called a strategic combat force. But with the human body, he squeezed into the forefront of the dragon riding dispute. Over the years, it has conquered huge territories including part of the Dorn territory and the Island Alliance. In terms of armaments and the number of strong men alone, it is hardly inferior to the rest of the kingdoms.

Its army is known for its discipline, prohibitiveness, and tenacity in fighting will. I suspect that if you give the order, they will fight to the death until the blood is exhausted, and not a single one of them will flee.

But it is precisely because of this that I am very confused. If you're as wise as you, you should know why the Battle of Dragoons is called the Battle of Dragoons, right? ”

Adam and Zheng Ming knew each other wordlessly for a while, and finally Adam shook his head and smiled.

"Haha, I didn't expect my evaluation to be so high? It's a pity that I don't know the legend of the contract. But it's a pity that it's too late, and after so many years of hard work, there is still no contract with the dragon. Even if they die in battle, they have no intention of changing the contractor.

Originally, the two-headed dragon in Drogo Ryan's hands was the most promising. It's a pity that I was killed by your side in the end. ”

"Knowing that it is impossible for someone who is not a contractor to obtain the sword of the dragon god, then why don't you consider assisting others?"

When Adam heard this, he looked into the distance. The top of the snow-capped mountain is covered with snow, and the mountains in the distance are undulating like waves.

The four lines of footprints spread down until they disappeared. Everything seems so small underfoot.

He looked up and saw the blue sky, which seemed to be close at hand above his head. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but he touched it as a matter of course.

"It's like climbing a mountain. No one climbs a mountain just to climb to the mountainside......"

Speaking of which, Adam turned his head to look at Zheng Ming. Zheng Ming only felt that the light in those eyes was flickering, and there was a palpitating light shining straight out.

"Why settle for mediocrity?"
