Chapter 962: Traveler
Because the news brought by the captain of the Silver Banner was so shocking that the lord of Haier Norsen did not hesitate to order martial law throughout the city, preparing to face the incoming group of corpse dragons.
However, in order to prevent turmoil in the army's mind, most of the soldiers, except for a few high-ranking officers, did not know what kind of creature they were about to face.
This ignorance also affects the inhabitants of Helnoxen and the travelers who happen to be in this harbor city.
"Hmm, Hail Norsen is the rumored origin of red-ridged rays, and the taste of freshly roasted red-ridged rays is really good~"
Although there was some chaos in the streets due to the sudden martial law, the chaos did not spread to the tavern called the Lionfish Tavern. The drinkers are still drinking and chatting with themselves.
In the corner of the bar near the wall, a blonde girl in a Scottish hat with a small black suitcase at her feet was munching on the tavern's hidden dishes and admiring the taste with a look of intoxication.
At this time, the wind chimes at the entrance of the tavern rang.
This bell is hung behind the door and only rings when someone opens the door.
"Welcome."
The bartender, who was wiping his glass behind the bar, customarily said a word to the people who came in.
The latter nodded slightly, and then ran quickly to the blonde girl.
"Teacher, the streets are in chaos now, and those soldiers don't know why they want to drive people, but a few people who look like veterans say that maybe the Sea Clan is coming to attack the city."
Judging from her appearance, she was a girl who was not a few years older than the blonde girl, and she wore a knitted hat that was very similar to the style of the blonde girl's Scottish hat, and she wore a small red leather jacket. In the summer, it looks a little stuffy, but the hem of the leather jacket just covers the base of the girl's thighs, and it is impossible to tell whether it is hot pants, a miniskirt or nothing to wear, in a sense, this kind of clothing has a sense of temptation.
"This little young lady, don't listen to those soldiers' nonsense." At this time, it was not the blonde girl who was called a teacher by the girl, but the bartender who was wiping the wine glass, who was middle-aged but well-maintained, and he had a charming smile on his face that could be called a killer of the teacher's wife: "Two years ago, the Admiral of the Great Ocean of the Horngolat Empire led a team of warships to clean up the sea tribe in the coastal waters, even if those half-human and half-fish things belonged to rats, they did not recover so quickly. ”
"Oh?" The blonde girl seemed to be a little interested in this, so she put down the bamboo stick in her hand. The towel wiped his mouth, snapped his fingers, and out of nowhere pulled out a gold coin: "Another roasted red sliver ray and two glasses of honey ale, and the rest is a tip." This fish tastes good, and you can come and try it too. ”
After beckoning your students to sit next to you. The blonde girl then asked, "Boss, what do you think will make the whole of Haier Northson like a great enemy?" ”
"Definitely a sea dragon!"
The bartender waved his hand and said in a very affirmative tone. At the same time, he also took the gold coin from the blonde girl's hand, and the expression on his face became more enthusiastic.
"Sea Dragon? A type of dragon? ”
The girl known as Qiu Ke did not rush to eat the fish, but raised her head and asked curiously.
"No, the sea dragon belongs to the subdragon species like the earthly dragon, and it is a dragon...... Most people think that it is the sheep-headed evil dragon and the tragic wind...... A monster that crosses with some reptilian creatures in the sea. "It's like the bartender is telling a horror story. He deliberately lowered his voice, danced with his hands, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Because the sea is much wider than the land." The food inside is also more abundant than on land, and the sea water is buoyant, so there is no need to use your limbs to support your body, so the sea dragon species generally have an extremely large body, and the sea dragon of three or four hundred feet can only be regarded as a small person, and most of the adults are nearly a thousand feet. Some extreme individuals even possess terrifying sizes that are hard to calculate! Their terrifying size is the best weapon, even if it's just for passing. can completely crush a small city to ruins! ”
"You've ever seen a sea dragon with your own eyes?"
The blonde girl continued.
"Met once...... Actually, it's not a matter of secrecy, you can just ask a resident of Hailnosen on the street and you should be able to find out. Twelve years ago, there was an incident where an Emperor Sea Dragon attacked Halnorsen. Almost all of my generation has witnessed that kind of apocalyptic scene. ”
Speaking of this, the bartender showed a sighing expression, it seemed that this incident was not made up by him out of thin air, but it was true: "The other party just straightened up, and set off a huge tsunami that we have never seen before, tens of thousands of tons of sea water easily crossed the breakwater, washed away many houses in the city with poor foundations, and many people were swept into the sea by the waves before they were even prepared...... Even the most skilled swimmers can hardly protect themselves in those terrifying storms. ”
"Then uncle, how did you defeat that Emperor Sea Dragon in the end?"
Qiu Ke asked curiously.
"What do you say to defeat ......" the bartender smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, it was the Emperor Sea Dragon who left by himself at that time. The academic magicians hired by Hellnosen thought that the monster could not stay on land for a long time, and the water near the sea was too shallow for its gills to breathe, and the magicians guarding Helnorsen had desperately injured the dragon's fins, which made the monster also feel a little painful, and felt that he could not take the city lightly, so he finally left reluctantly. ”
"Huh? So if the Emperor Sea Tortoise makes a comeback this time, won't Haier Northson lose? Qiu Ke couldn't help but exclaim loudly, and immediately covered his mouth, nodding apologetically to the surroundings in apology.
"Don't underestimate our Haier Norsen, the preparations for dealing with the sea dragon were completed five years ago. Ever since they were attacked by the Emperor Sea Dragon, the men of Haier Norsen have been waiting for each other to come back, so that we can take revenge! ”
When he said this, the bartender couldn't help but have a proud look on his face.
That's right, except for places like the Adric Academy, which other dragon slayer is not a giant of the world? Even if the sea dragon species is only a wurm, this level of combat is enough to be included in the world record. At this time, Haier Northson really wants to squeeze into those giants, how can he make him, a native of Helnoson, proud?
At this moment, the wind chimes in the tavern rang again, but this time the sound was much more panicked and hurried.
"Dragon...... Dragon! ”
The bartender knew him and was a regular customer of the tavern.
"Sea Dragon? I knew ......" Just as the bartender grinned triumphantly at the blonde girl, indicating that he was not wrong, the regular customer continued.
"A whole bunch of strange-looking dragons are flying towards us!" (To be continued)
ps: I don't want to say anything more about the return of the great sage, so let's talk about a conversation I heard in the theater before-
Child: Mom, why do so many uncles come to watch cartoons?
Mother: Because they have been waiting for the return of the Great Sage since they were young.
