The last time Lu Xi saw Krel? When Belmont was the Ten Dragons, it was the Battle of the Marks of the World. In that battle against the two demon gods, everyone lost a lot. Lu Xi lost two elders who were equivalent to his father, while Belmont lost one of his hands and a leg, plus all his comrades, including his closest lover and partner, Black Dragon's sister Heiyun.

Knights and dragons, of course, are not just knights and mounts, they should trust each other in all aspects, sharing their strength, skills and knowledge, and even life and soul. Each of them treats the other as their own half. Theoretically, the dragon knight and his own dragon spend more time together every day than the boss and his wife.

However, even a couple who love to death is destined to be separated by life and death; Similarly, a dragon knight who has lost a dragon, or a dragon who has lost a knight, is not the first in history. In this case, only a few knights, or dragons, after a long period of grief, glued together the fragments of their hearts that had broken into pieces, cheered up, found their next partner, and continued to fight on the front line of protecting the world.

Most dragons that have lost their knights will leave the Throat of the World Fortress. They will begin the next journey of their lives. Whether it's returning to Dragon City Delinard and having children under the protection of your compatriots, finding a place to build a dragon's nest for hundreds of years, or taking on the form of a human spirit to travel and study in the world of "mortals", dragons have a long lifespan anyway, and there is too much time to squander and can be used to enjoy different roles. It's just that in the long years that are counted in 10,000 years, there will probably not be any new knights who will become their comrades who will fight side by side and rely on their backs.

As for the knights who have lost their dragons, a few will stay as instructors or various affairs work, but the vast majority will also quit the dragon knights and return to the secular world. The dragon knights who have lost their dragons are still the most powerful warriors in the world, and if they want to, any power organization will go to great lengths to invite them to serve, right? However, these "retired" knights basically choose to find a remote place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in isolation and spend the rest of their lives alone.

It's not that the dragon knights are too fragile and hypocritical, but that the tearing feeling of losing their soul comrades is too painful. This is especially true for races with shorter natural lifespans.

However, there are also successful examples of changing jobs. For example, the founder of the now famous Thor Brothers mercenary group was the famous dragon knight captain Virul during the Qiming War? Vodas. In the Battle of Sword Bay, his dragon partner, who was also famous, had the name of "Wind and Thunder Wings", the primeval blue dragon Sinda was killed in battle. In honor of his comrades-in-arms, Verul named the mercenary group he founded, thus beginning the second golden age of his career.

Look, Krell? Belmont might be the second one. Moreover, it is said that even Verul, who created a second spring model for his career after the "retired" dragon knight changed careers, changed his temperament greatly after the death of Sinda, from a heroic and robust hero to a scheming mercenary leader. And the temperament of our ten dragon elder brother is still very sunny, as if nothing happened.

But this makes people worry even more, okay? Verul was completely blackened after losing his friend, and Krell not only lost his love, but also lost his legs and hands. Or rather, not only the loss of a leg and a hand, but also the loss of his love?

"After all this time, why haven't you regained your legs and hands?" Lu Xiqi said.

Limb regeneration is a fairly high-end magic technique, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford. Therefore, once the average working person is crippled, it is really crippled, and it will definitely bring an almost devastating blow to an ordinary family. However, the Dragon Knights, who are the guardians of the dignified world, were seriously injured and disabled in battle, and the Great Sanctuary will cure them no matter what.

Of course, a strong person like the Dragon Knight has been trained and strengthened for a long time, and even his physical body is comparable to the most powerful weapon. The body regenerated through magic or other magical means is far from reaching the same level, and it will take a longer period of hard training to gradually recover. However, to be the master of the dragon knight, isn't that one talented and resolute? Exercising again from scratch may seem like a long march to ordinary people, but it's really not a matter for them.

All in all, even the dragon knights who have been hit hard and are about to retire and go home to eat and die, the Throat of the World and the Great Sanctuary will do their best to help them. In addition to a fairly generous pension, they will definitely be allowed to go home with their whole limbs and tails – at least outwardly.

"I refused myself!" To Lu Xi's question, the former Ten Dragon Commanders replied like this. He stretched out his steel prosthetic leg and tapped his prosthetic leg again, making a hard and solid sound: "Look, the alloy doped with Oz steel is much harder than my previous bones." Also, considering my new job, it's even more convenient. ”

As he spoke, he lifted his prosthetic leg. I don't know what mechanism he moved, the five fingers on the prosthetic leg shrank into the arm, and a lot of wrenches and taper screwdrivers and vices popped up, a large list of dazzling lists, and there were all kinds of labels.

…… Where did you get the Swiss Army Knife from?

"I'm the director now! A scientific researcher who is more powerful than the average engineer. Isn't it more convenient to carry a large bag of tools in your hand every day when you have inspiration? The former dragon knight explained solemnly.

Well, that makes sense!

"And besides......" He waved his hand again, and the tools on his prosthetic leg were put back away, and after a juggling deformation, the muzzle of a black hole was revealed.

me, where have you become now where did you come from Hodak and Serra? Uh, do I know that these two stalks are revealing their age again?

"This is the whitebeard you gave me...... Krell continued.

"Whitebeard?"

"yes, it's the Guided Shotgun, I modified it and put it in. And with the principle of the pistol revolver, it is now possible to shoot six shots in a row. In addition, I also installed a magazine in the upper arm, and with a little bit of spatial magic, I can stuff about 30 bullets into it. ”

It's a long life! Even the M1216 can only hold 16 rounds. You gang of magic-nerds are too sick!

"Look, there's a sense of a scientific director, right?" Krell patted the (literally) hand cannon, his face full of smugness, but he really had the feeling that an inventor was looking at his most satisfactory work.

Not at all, right? This style of scientific director.

"And...... I suddenly felt that if I had just done this with my hands and feet, I would feel a little sorry for her. Director Belmont said suddenly.

His voice was calm, but the atmosphere around him was inexplicably sad.

Lu Xi knew that "she" was referring to the black cloud who had died in battle, and his mood suddenly became a little heavy, but he was more relieved. Because, if the other party can mention the black cloud so calmly, it means that he has indeed come out of the grief of losing his beloved and partner.

"We have long agreed that even if one side dies first, we must live well. To live well is to be meaningful, and to be meaningful is to live well. For Heiyun, I will live the rest of my life to live a wonderful and happy life for two people, this is my belief in the future. Now, as a dragon knight Krel? A life in Belmont is over, Krell? Director Belmont must live as a good engineer and scientific scholar. However, I will not forget her, nor will I forget that I was once a glorious dragon knight. The fact that I am missing an arm and leg will not affect my future research, my life, or even my battles, but it will allow me to remember those glorious years forever. ”

“…… You're really pretentious. It's obviously an engineering and technical nerd or something, what kind of trouble is such a young man going to make? ”

"Hmph, you don't understand, this is also a man's romance!" He's serious.

Lu Xi also snorted, and said, "However, Miss Heiyun will indeed be very happy, because your life of reemployment and reemployment is not quite fulfilling?" The roller coaster at Ocean Paradise, you actually built it. I heard that you have to queue up at the entrance of the park every day. With this alone, you will definitely go down in history in the future. ”

"Hey, I didn't doubt that. It's you, are you really okay like this? It's only a day or two flight from the Aurora to Cloudsdale, so you can't miss anything if you go for treatment, right? The hand is okay to say, the key is the eye ......"

"My eyes are not traumatic, they involve soul healing, but they don't grow in a month or two. That's really going to be a mistake. In addition, my appearance may reassure many people. Isn't that a good thing? Lu Xi smiled, and then changed the topic: "So, tell me about my little wife?" Change...... Oh no, a modification of the Aurora. Well, you have a gorgeous new skill, right? ”

"It's not your real wife, where did you get the skills after the modification? Oh no, if it's really your wife, you can't even describe it with skills, right? …… Never mind. There are still quite a few places to refit and we can talk slowly on the road. "Belmont Drive.

An hour after the three black, blue, and red "cruise ships" left Gloren, the Seven Yao Aurora sailed out of port. Director Krell said that this little wife of Lu Xi has undergone a considerable number of modifications, but the appearance does not seem to have changed, and it is still as elegant as a swan. It was only at this time that the people in charge of the port of Gloren realized that this famous and meritorious battleship of the Federation had been parked in the harbor for so long.

"Whew...... If we really do anything unwise, we will be able to plow our barracks twenty times with artillery fire with that Farahals Victory Bluebird. The frightened Mayor Haganer looked at the cyan battleship soaring into the sky, and patted his chest and let out a big breath.

The garrison commander, Lieutenant Colonel Tien, was even more glad to have escaped from his life, and couldn't help but complain: "Unwise behavior is not without ...... Isn't that my brain-dead deputy? What's his name? Gaston or Sag? Tsk, the Wilanbart family almost killed all of us. ”

"yes, yes, the stupid people of the Wilanbart family are so uninteresting. It's been like this since hundreds of years ago! Mayor Haganer exclaimed loudly "with righteous indignation."

"Little Belencaster is not so domineering and unreasonable as rumored?" The lieutenant colonel said again.

No, no, no, you didn't see the battle of "Berencaster Prison"? It was really a time for everyone to be at risk, and every day was like a special judgment day. There are conditions to be transferred, and it's okay for me to do so. Those who can't run away are said to have to cry and say goodbye to their families every morning when they get up, for fear that they will be taken away. If the gendarmes were fine, they would have left a little dignity for the glorious Arcane nobles, but they were afraid that they would be taken away by the group of owls in the Field Service Department, and they wouldn't even know how to die.

"Thankfully, he's gone. Whether it is tyrannical or domineering, it has nothing to do with us. The mayor sighed.

He felt like a little lamb that had been rubbed on the ground by the neck of a lion for hours, and he had no ability to resist or even run away, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death. Fortunately, the lion didn't seem interested in himself, and after rubbing enough, he patted his ass and walked away. At this time, as long as he is alive, as a lamb, he should really thank the goddesses for their mercy.

"It's not okay! Both the Auckland and Elven armies were already encamped under the city, and the officers had entered the city to procure supplies. It is said that we are the transit point to attack the storm cape...... But at this time, if we really want to take Gloren, we won't have any resistance left. ”

"Hey, do you think we had resistance before?"

You know? Then why did you have such a head iron before?

Of course, Mr. Mayor understood the reason for the constipated expression on the other party's face, but he didn't bother to explain his various calculations, and asked in a seemingly casual tone: "The mercenaries from Neosfia have already entered the city?" ”

"A brigade that has arrived at the second sub-regiment has come in on a regular passenger ship from Neosfia. Belch...... Do you want to send someone to control it? Lieutenant Colonel Tyne said. He was afraid that Mr. Mayor would start to iron again, so he added: "I heard that more are coming in batches." There are indeed tens of thousands. ”

"Forget it, as long as they don't kill people and set fires, let them go. Send someone to inform their leader that if there is a need for clean barracks, we can provide them free of charge. Provision can also be affordable...... Oh no, it's okay to take credit. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Tjeon looked at Mayor Hagner, who suddenly switched from a hot-blooded middle-aged man to a pragmatic man, blinked his eyes, puzzled, and couldn't help but remind: "I'm really going to do this." You, it's not easy for you to explain to your family, right? ”

"Family? Oh, it would be fine if little Belencaster had been hidden, but now that he's there, that's another story. The Kringels family already had many parties to join the coup, so my duty as a family member is not to join the other side, and even to help the other side. You understand? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Tien, who was born in the ordinary people, blinked again, still not understanding.

"It's okay, it's a good thing you don't understand." Mayor Haganer smiled reluctantly, and at the age of thirty-five, he really laughed at the bitterness and vicissitudes of fifty years old: "I'll go eat some pig's knuckle bread to get rid of the mold." Want to be together? I'm in for a treat. ”

"Go together, go together." Lieutenant Colonel Tien seemed to know each other for the first time, and it was the first time he had seen each other so pleasantly. If it goes on like this, this cooperative career shouldn't be too difficult, right? Probably......
