Chapter 185: Arthur's Secret (Battle of the Contract)
Following the strong feeling in his heart, Zheng Ming, who turned into a giant dragon and flew all the way, stopped outside a dense jungle.
Feeling that strange sense of guidance came from Zheng Ming in the depths of the jungle, turning back into his human form and stepping into it.
It is a small jungle that stands out in the middle of a vast plain. The jungle is not big, but the scenery is very charming.
Zheng Ming walked through the woods, where the mist shrouded. Moonlight shone through the gaps in the lush foliage on these mist, staining it silver.
Brushing through the mist that floated softly in the air like gauze, Zheng Ming went deeper and deeper into the jungle.
Crossing the trees with a diameter of about two people hugging each other, and caressing the vines that were intricately entangled in the air, Zheng Ming's eyes suddenly brightened.
At this time, the forest was dark due to the obscuration of the leaves, but when Zheng Ming stepped into this clearing, countless turquoise shimmers like stars rose. Under the light of these dense points of light, the darkness was suddenly dispelled. Zheng Ming was also able to really see the situation in front of him.
The ground here is not as lush with vegetation and wildflowers as the jungle periphery. It's a milky white object like a mirror.
Zheng Ming reached out and stroked it gently, the material of the ground was a little warm, a substance between warm jade and candles.
In the sky, the turquoise light points like stars are flying, and the ground of unknown material is also reflected in the beautiful points of light.
Zheng Ming's gesture of reaching out and caressing frightened these small things that looked like fireflies, only to see the points of light that originally surrounded Zheng Ming suddenly dispersed, and then condensed into a ball in mid-air, flying towards the darkness in the distance.
It was also through the diffusion of these points of light that Zheng Ming saw things farther away. I saw a two-person high prismatic boulder standing in place at the other end of the circular clearing about dozens of meters.
The material is comparable to the ground, and the bottom is integrated with the ground.
Prismatic boulders surrounded by countless points of light reflect the beautiful turquoise glow to the surroundings. The darkness in the depths of the dense forest was suddenly dyed turquoise.
It was also through these rays of light that Zheng Ming found the figure on the other side of the prismatic boulder, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Just from the other party's straight upper body, Zheng Ming could tell that this was a slender and tall man. He had long, pale green hair that flowed down his coat of flowers and green leaves like a waterfall, and eventually scattered across the side.
The long crystal hair that he brushed behind his ears failed to hide the handsome face that was not human, but added a bit of softness.
Seeing the tips of his thin ears and Zheng Ming, who had been frowning, he turned out the other party's name from the depths of his memory.
Elf Fenway?
"Who? Who's there? Come out. ”
However, before Zheng Ming could exclaim, a cold cheer diverted his attention.
Following the direction from which the voice came, I happened to see a thin, tall and thin man walking out from behind the prismatic stone pillar.
This is a typical Dorn, whether it is hair color, skin color, or attire. His face was covered with red and white oil paint, and it was precisely because of the concealment of these oil paints that Zheng Ming recognized his identity after observing for a long time.
Bitter Beam: Eagle Chart? How did they get together?
Whether it is the mysterious and unpredictable elf Fenwei, or the bitter beam eagle who wants to transform Zheng Ming into the form of a demon white snake and become a war pet, these two men have brought Zheng Ming a deep impression.
So much so that after so many years, Zheng Ming could remember their names.
"Who are you? Why is it here? ”
Kushu Yingtu failed to recognize Zheng Ming, which is also natural. After seeing the word "Yichen" looming above the other party's head, Zheng Ming recognized the identity of the other player. At the same time, the mystery of why the two people who couldn't hit the eight poles appeared here together was also solved.
Just when Zheng Ming and Yichen were looking at each other from a distance, there was a sudden change on the elf Fenway's side.
I saw countless green energy burst out from his body, converging into a mass in mid-air and heading towards the prismatic stone pillar in front of him.
Sensing that the elf Fenwei's body emitted a glowing green light, and its body became more and more transparent, Yichen didn't care that Zheng Ming was still watching, and took out the props and threw them into the air.
With his movements, the crystal clear orb levitated above the elven Fenwei, descending white beams of light and shooting towards the elven fenwei below. After absorbing these white lights, the faintly translucent elf Fenwei finally stopped the trend of transparency.
Immediately afterward, a large number of brightly colored petals resembling peach blossoms fell, and when they touched Elf Fenwei, they turned into liquid and seeped into his exposed skin.
"Uhhh
With a painful roar from Elf Fenway, he opened his eyes, which had been keeping his eyes closed. A bright green light like a spotlight suddenly shot out of his eyes. With the movement of his head, he shot into the clouds of turquoise energy in the sky.
A burst of intense green light erupted from the elven Fenwei's body, sweeping all around. The dazzling green light was reflected off the ground for a long time.
Zheng Ming, who closed his eyes for the first time and raised his hand to cover his face, opened his eyes when he noticed that the light was fading.
The swarm of fluorescent insects that were constantly roaming in the sky had fled, but there was no darkness around them. I saw that the prismatic boulder absorbed all the energy of the elf Fenwei and turned it into a new light source.
"Whew~~~."
Amid the heaving gasps, Elf Fenway stood up. Strands of sweat-soaked green hair hung down on the side of his face, and on his bare white chest, there were even drops of sweat that glistened in the green light of the boulder. His slightly tired figure reveals an indescribable beauty.
Seeing Zheng Ming looking at his side with an uncertain expression, Elf Fenwei looked him up and down a few times, and frowned slightly.
"You are? That Dragon kid at the time? ”
Over the years, Zheng Ming has undergone tremendous changes in strength, temperament, skin color, hair color, and appearance. It's no wonder that Elf Fenway has an uncertain and puzzled tone.
"Elf Fenway, long time no see."
While Zheng Ming admitted Elf Fenwei's question in disguise, he also said hello to his old acquaintance.
"It seems that it was because of the proximity and the fact that I was going to remove this vitality that made you feel it. But I didn't expect this golden scabbard to reach you. I didn't expect that someone would voluntarily give up such a powerful treasure in order to save others. ”
Zheng Ming was noncommittal about Elf Fenwei's feelings. The practicality and preciousness of the golden scabbard have been deeply experienced by Zheng Ming over the years. Not to mention anything else, just the ability to constantly gather external vitality and speed up the host's energy and injury recovery, I don't know how many times I saved Zheng Ming.
How much Zheng Ming owes Arthur, he knows very well in his heart.
"The purpose of your appearance here, looking at the way you just looked, I also roughly guessed a few points. What I'm concerned about now is what are you two going to do after that? Will it be a threat to us. ”
Zheng Ming's strong attitude made Elf Fenwei slightly stunned, and then he looked Zheng Ming up and down a few times, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hehe, interesting. Is it because it has become stronger? I remember you weren't that kind of straightforward person......"
Originally, because he had been in a good mood because he had been free from his imprisonment for many years, and he wanted to tease a few more words, the elf Fenwei noticed the black flame burning on Zheng Ming's body, as well as its violent energy fluctuations, and his expression was terrified.
Then he hurriedly waved his hand and softened his attitude.
"Alright, alright. The old arms and legs can't move. This friend of mine is not an ambitious person, he just likes to travel and experience the scenery of the world. And all I have to do is to stay by his side at least in this world and avoid him being killed by others. We don't have to fight. ”
After Zheng Ming heard Elf Fenwei's explanation, he reined in the energy on his body.
On the other side, the elf Fenwei saw Zheng Ming turn around to leave without saying a word, and immediately said goodbye.
"I remember saying I wanted to pay you back. I don't think you've helped me much, but I'd be happy to answer some questions. ”
Zheng Ming, who had already turned around, was moved when he heard this, he did have a lot of questions about this world and the so-called dragon horse battle.
So he was not polite, turned and walked over to the elf Fenway, and took the wine out of the storage space.
With a wave of his hand, the pitch-black liquid gushed out and condensed into tables and chairs. Zheng Ming raised his hand to signal to the other two, and then sat down drastically.
The golden liquor that seemed to contain stars filled the three wine glasses, and Zheng Ming pushed two of them in front of the other two with a wave of his sleeve.
Elf Fenwei glanced at it, didn't pick up the wine in front of him, smiled slightly and waited for Zheng Ming to post.
Yichen, who had been silent on the other side, didn't care about anything else, picked it up and drank it all.
Zheng Ming, who was stared at by Yichen's eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, refilled him with a glass, and then after thinking about it, he looked at the elf Fenwei.
"I've met several Dragon over the years and I've heard a few things from them. The first question is, is this world used by the Dragon to support humans? ”
"You don't even know that? I'm a little suspicious of your identity right now. Are you really from the Dragons? Or ......"
Speaking of this, Elf Fenwei glanced at it as if unintentionally, and had already picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a drink.
"What does it matter if I'm a Dragon or not? You only need to answer my questions, and I won't delve into your identity as a former machine spirit. I'm not interested in what you've done before, whether you can break free from confinement and repression, whether you can escape from this world. ”
Hearing Zheng Ming's words, Elf Fenwei's pupils shrank, and the energy on his body showed signs of outburst several times, but he was finally suppressed by him. He reached out and picked up the glass in front of him and brought it to his lips. The golden liquor is just like his heart at this time, and the ripples are continuous.
After a short silence, Elf Fenwei put down the wine glass that had not been lightened much, raised his head and looked at Zheng Ming deeply, and nodded.
"You're right. This is a world ruled by the Dragons. The humans here can also be said to have been raised by them. It's just that they don't know. In fact, compared to those weak races who are attached to the strong races, the human situation here is much better. ”
"Then the second question. What exactly is the so-called dragon horse battle and contract battle?
When the dragoon comes to the fore, the sword of the dragon god will descend on the earth, and the dragon god will grant the highest glory to the victor according to the ancient covenant, and fulfill any wish of the victor. I'm sure you've heard this ancient legend all over the world, is it true? What does that mean exactly? ”
Elf Fenwei raised his hand to interrupt Zheng Ming's successive questions. He looked at Zheng Ming, who had a puzzled expression, and his eyes were complicated.
"You should be until a world where resources are limited. They don't have that many worlds, and they all give them to the ever-expanding number of humans. War and internal strife are the most convenient and effective ways to control the population. And the spiritual power of dead human beings, as well as their blood and flesh, these are all precious resources.
These can be used to nourish the spiritual weapon, and they can also feed back to the world. This is one of the reasons why this world is full of vitality and all kinds of genius treasures. It's all about maintaining a long cycle. ”
Zheng Ming finally understood the meaning contained in the eyes of some elf Fenwei. There is pity, there is shame, there is delay, there is also a trace of helplessness and indifference. It's complex, it's contradictory, but it's very real. The rich emotions that flow out of it seem to be even better than Zheng Ming, a human being who is known for his emotional richness and introspection.
"Is this a scam? It is said that there has never been a time when a dragon knight has actually obtained the sword of the dragon god. ”
"No, of course not. This is an oath made in the name of the dragon god, how can it be a scam. Of course, they will reward the one who stands out, and if no one has ever won it, it can only be said that he has not done enough. To tell you an interesting thing, someone actually succeeded a long time ago. It's just that at that time, the contract battle did not occur once every two or three hundred years, but a thousand years apart. ”
Zheng Ming understood the deep meaning of Elf Fenwei's words, and his self-awareness as a human made him feel a chill in his heart after hearing this.
"What's going on with those Dragons? What did they come for? Driven by humans to fight and eventually die? ”
"Oh, they~. The purpose is different, some can't live anymore and want to fight, some are for a bright future, some are for becoming stronger, but in the final analysis, it is for the sake of the Dragon Clan's holy land, for those precious Dragon Clan inheritances.
After all, without such pure dragon blood, if you want to learn those inheritances, you can only rely on some other opportunities. Pact Wars are one of them. ”
Speaking of which, Elf Fenway glanced at Yichen, who had already drunk all the wine in the bottle, and looked around with his cheeks in boredom.
"Alright. That's it. ”
Zheng Ming, who was still struggling with what to ask, saw that the two of them got up to leave, and hurriedly asked the last question.
"It depends on you. The world isn't constantly under surveillance, is it? However, since it is the world to which Dragon belongs, it should be observed by Dragon from time to time to make sure that there are no anomalies. ”
Elf Fenway paused when he heard this, and turned his head to show a bright smile.
"That's true. But luckily it's a lazy dragon who likes to nap. And this kind of nourishing world is not too important, and it is generally not carefully examined. ”
After leaving the last sentence, Elf Fenwei and Yichen floated away, leaving Zheng Ming, whose eyes flickered frequently and fell into deep thought.
