Chapter 480: The Dragon's Visit
Upper Kersdo's fluttering solo kills have determined many of the Rigner pirate enemies... Destiny.
Similar things are happening in many places on the mainland every day, and the privilege of the superior is this, they only need one sentence, they can let countless people carry out their will, and this privilege of the superior is like a drug, attracting countless careerists to shed their blood for it, without regrets.
Culham was once such a careerist. He inherited everything from his father and became a minor lord of Negan, but he didn't have long as a lord before his realm was annexed by Morryll.
At that time, Moriel had not yet drunk the blood of the dragon, nor had she unified Negan, at that time. Not long after being independent, he is desperately trying to strengthen himself.
Although Culham secretly hated Moryl for stealing his territory, he still accepted Moryl's offer and became one of Moryl's generals. Because he didn't want to die.
In the years that followed, he witnessed the birth of the Dragon Queen, the unification of Negan, and he. also because of his outstanding performance, he became a senior general under Moriel.
At that time, everything he had. In fact, it was much more than when he was a minor lord, but after broadening his horizons, Calham was no longer satisfied with this, he had greater ambitions, so he participated in the rebellion launched by Daxdor, and ousted Morriel from power.
His original plan was to stand on his own feet again after Movier's death, but he obviously overestimated his appeal, and when he wanted to take action, he reluctantly found that Daxdo had completely controlled the situation, and his troops also threw themselves into Daxtore's arms.
So he had to abandon his ambition again and become Daxto's subordinate.
This situation made him very annoyed, because he felt. Daxduo is obviously not as good as the majestic Dragon Queen, even if it is also a part-time job, it is obviously better to work for the Dragon Queen than to work for Daxmore
Many.
But after all, there is no regret in the world that the medicine is sold, and Culham can only pinch his nose and admit it in the end.
In the past few years, he has been very unsatisfactory, and Daxdo doesn't seem to trust Moryl's old department like him very much, and instead reuses his former cronies, so Daxdo was sent by him to garrison a border city like Sinkehair City, and the troops he can control are very few.
Sinkhel is a small coastal city with a small population, and if it weren't for the existence of the Solo Peninsula, Sinkhel wouldn't even give Daxdor any attention, because Sinkhel is a must-pass to enter Nigen soil from Solo Cow Island.
Putting Culham here to garrison looks like a reuse, but in fact it is almost exile, because everyone knows that those small lords on the Solo Peninsula don't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, and if Daxdo doesn't take the initiative to attack them, they will be thankful, how can they stupidly send troops to attack Sinkhal?
Culham stayed in this small place for a few years, and in the past few years, Daxdo has been at war, but he can only watch, looking at those little people who are not worth mentioning in the era of Moryl, the dragon queen, all of them have become bigger than themselves by virtue of their military exploits, and he, Morryll's veteran of the year, can only wait for death in Sinkhal, unchanged, inaction, and slowly sink, and because of Daxdo's great power, he does not dare to make any changes, so as not to attract the disaster of death.
So Calham was depressed.
The ambitions of the past are gone, and all that remains is endless sighs and remorse after waking up in the middle of the night.
He sometimes wondered if he had not betrayed Moryl back then.
On this day, Karhan thumb was as usual. He had the strength to deal with the military affairs that seemed to him dispensable, and then in the pitiful little castle of Schinkhair, he ate his dinner with the same weakness.
Dinner was plentiful, but Calham had no appetite at all, and the sweltering heat made him even more irritable.
Negan's war is now burning harder. With the massive attack of Jade and the appearance of the Rigner pirates, how long can Sinkhel be calm here. No one knows, and Daxdo's situation is not good, even the few troops he has here have been transferred more than half, which shows how tragic the battle situation is.
The wars in various places are also becoming more and more intense, and the small underground wars are said to be in full swing and difficult to solve, even in Negan, who is constantly fighting. Such a violent and widespread turmoil is also rare. And recently, the gossip about the appearance of a new lord on the Solo Peninsula has also begun to increase, as well as the increasingly mysterious prophecy that the savior has appeared in Negan, and even the dragon queen is not dead. And back to the Negan rumors again.
It all seemed unusual, and Culham had a feeling that someone was manipulating all of this, and that the sky was about to change.
At this time, the location of the station is very important. Calham is forty-eight and a half years this year, and in two years he will be fifty, and as a human being, he has already passed more than half of his life, and he does not want to make mistakes again and regret it again.
On Daxto's side, there is no point in staying, and if he is self-reliant, Kalham knows that he is not that material, and the only gain from years of mediocrity is to let him have it
But if you want to find a new backer, you must also be cautious. The situation is so chaotic, as strong as Daxduo is still anxious, who knows if those seemingly powerful forces will suddenly fall apart?
Thinking about it, Culham suddenly smiled bitterly.
He felt as if he was overthinking it. Kalham, who was under the Dragon Queen back then, was indeed famous, but now Kalham. How many people remember that even if he found the right backer, whether others are willing to want him or not is still a big problem.
At this thought, Kalham didn't have the heart to eat, pushed the plate on the table, and he stood up, startling his wife and son, who is only eight years old this year.
Realizing his recklessness, Calhan smiled apologetically at the two of them, and was about to say something. One of his cronies hurried to the door of the dining room, glanced at him, and Aunt Calhan's heart moved, and she explained a few words to his wife and son with a smile, and left.
"What's going on?" Outside the restaurant. He asked in a low voice to the strange-looking cronie.
"Someone outside the castle wants to see you, my lord. It's a woman! "This loyal man, who had followed Culham since he was a lord, was terrified and uneasy at this time." She didn't say her name, but I thought, I thought, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm not mistaken, she is," she was
Speaking of which. He stammered, and he couldn't say any more.
Seeing him like this, Funerham couldn't help frowning: "Who is it?" ”
After swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, the cronies finally said in a trembling voice: "It's the Dragon Queen!" ”
"What?" Culham was a little unsure if he had heard it wrong, and asked with a puzzled face, "Who do you say she is?"
"It's the Dragon Queen! My lord, it's Moryl, the queen of dragons! Finally the name came out of his mouth, and this cronie of his spoke fluently at this time, "That face! The tall man! And that red hair! Definitely the Queen of the Dragon! ”
"Nonsense!" Calham shook his head. "You must have read it wrong, after the dragon queen drank the blood of the dragon, she had already turned into a dragon body! Hell, it's not like you don't know about this! Did you drink too much today! ”
Having said this, Culham was in doubt, and immediately walked in the direction of the castle gate.
As he walked, he remembered that the Dragon Queen was not dead. Rumors, which made him even more uneasy.
The castle was not far from the outside of the restaurant to the castle gate, and after a while, Kalham led the people to the castle gate.
Walking up the wall, Culham looked out and saw a woman standing outside.
It's summer, and the daylight hours are longer. The sun had not yet completely set, and in the setting sun, this tall woman stood on the edge of the moat. At her feet, there was a poisonous scorpion lion lying meekly, and her short ear-length red hair fluttered in the wind when the evening breeze blew. It seems to have noticed movement on the city walls. The woman then turned her head in Culham's direction.
The rays of the setting sun shone on her face, making Culham stunned to see the other person's appearance clearly, so in this mystery, Kalham's whole body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.
As if to have expected such a reaction from Calham, the woman said lightly: "Surprised, Kalham?" I'm not dead, I'm back! Why, don't you dare open the door? I'm just a human being now."
The familiar, but somewhat unfamiliar grinning voice that he hadn't heard for many years, made Culham suddenly recall a series of past events from the depths of his memory.
Xu Ya, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth with a recurring expression.
"Open the door!"
Inside the gate of the castle, looking at Lord Culham with an anxious face, and then looking at the woman who was holding the poisonous scorpion lion and walking into the castle like Shi Shiran was walking in her own backyard, all the Negan soldiers were puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was before, judging from the conversation, the relationship between the two seemed to be a little tense, but Lord Kalham didn't let them make any moves. On the contrary, he welcomed this woman into the castle very respectfully.
It's a very strange situation.
Culham, who came to a room in the castle and sat down face-to-face with Moryl, also felt that the situation he was facing was a little strange.
The dragon queen has returned, and she has also become a human again, and after drinking the dragon's blood, she has obviously become a dragon, what is going on?
What's even more weird is that he also saw the dragon queen smile slightly at himself.
He had been following the Dragon Queen for a long time. However, he had never seen a dragon queen smile like this.
But he was sure that this woman was indeed Mohor, the queen of dragons, because, no matter how the other party changed, the dangerous smell of her body that was so familiar to Culham did not change at all, even when she smiled.
That feeling made him feel like he was sitting opposite him at this time, and it wasn't a thing. A human woman, but the illusion of a terrible dragon that could swallow him at any moment.
