A few days after Lucy and Rebi were sent away, all the magicians who had participated in this year's Great Demon Fighting Exercise were dressed up in the castle hall of the Hua Lantern Palace.

At this time, the hall was lit up with lights, and the already magnificent hall was arranged even more magnificently. On the floor of the hall, there are various dining tables covered with ornate tablecloths, and on them are also placed all kinds of delicate containers carved like dragons and phoenixes, which contain all kinds of delicacies, vegetables and fruits. Even the drinks are equipped with beautiful drinking utensils, and even the flower candlesticks used for decoration are all exquisitely used.

The many magicians, dressed gorgeously and with different temperaments, but under the various costumes, the advantages and characteristics of each of them were perfectly magnified, and they all seemed to be aristocrats, wandering alone in the hall, or whispering in groups of three or five, and some only cared about eating the food on the table, in short, the atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious.

At this time, Ming Feng led several dragon slaying wizards to the Minister of National Defense, Dutton, and said, "Your Excellency Dutton, we want to know how those dragons are doing now?" ”

Looking at the young people in front of him who had saved the whole country and even the whole world, Dutton wanted to say a few words, but seeing their sincere eyes, serious expressions, and the sincere aura they exuded, he stopped what he wanted to say and changed his words: "... All right! Come with me. ”

After saying that, they led everyone to a corner of the hall, through the long corridor, and through several large spaces, before arriving at their destination.

The first thing that catches your eye is eight huge cages, each containing a giant dragon. Each dragon hung its head listlessly and curled up in its cages, whether the cages were too small or the dragons were too large to make them look so crowded in these huge cages.

'Roar! ’

When they saw that it was Ming Feng and the others who had fought with them and defeated them, the eight giant dragons cheered up together and let out a huge roar that shook the entire space.

"Uncle!" Natsu and Gajiru saw that the friend of the dragon daddy who raised them was also imprisoned in a cage, and the two of them rushed to the front in an instant.

The Hell Flame Dragon looked at Natsu in front of him, leaned down, and muttered to him, "Boy, after I helped you humans, is this how you repay me?" ”

The bronze dragon in the other cage, like the Hell Flame Dragon, leaned down and said to Gajiru, "Little ghost! I've done you humans a lot, is that your hospitality? ”

"Nope! We're not going to let you be locked up here!! Natsu and Gajiru immediately replied in the face of the Hellfire Dragon and the Bronze Dragon at this time, with a look of righteousness and sternness.

Seeing the Hell Flame Dragon and the Bronze Dragon being treated like this, even the other people who had not been in contact with them were very angry, but when facing the Minister of Defense, they only looked displeased, but they didn't speak, after all, none of them had the courage to be the enemy of the entire kingdom.

But this did not include Mingfeng and Lacusas, even Wendy stepped forward, and the three of them clung to Dutton along with Natsu and Gajiru, staring at him with anger in their eyes.

In the face of the powerful aura of these five people, he was covered in a cold sweat, and his body trembled a little because he couldn't withstand the surging mana fluctuations, but on the surface, he still tried his best to maintain his composure, and his facial expression didn't seem to have any waves at all. However, he knew very well in his heart that if he started a war with these people, the military strength of the entire kingdom would also be severely damaged. Especially the biggest contributor to this incident, 'Ming Feng', he is the only person who can solve a giant dragon on his own.

At this time, Ming Feng looked at Dutton and said in a cold tone: "You guys go and release the Hell Flame Dragon and the Bronze Dragon!" As he spoke, Ming Feng's eyes were still staring at Dutton in front of him.

"No... No... No! By doing so, you are betraying the kingdom and will be banished! Dutton was still unwilling to be frightened by a few imps, and opened his mouth to threaten.

"Wait!" Kebra stood up at this time, and suddenly said something to Ming Feng and the others.

‘？？？ ’

Several people turned their heads and looked at Kebra, not understanding why he would stop them, and looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"I hear you. In his heart, he despises you, saying that this cage is a cage that has been made with magic stones a long time ago, and it is just to be able to capture the dragon this time, and study the structure of the dragon, which you can't destroy casually! Kebra relayed what he had heard, word for word.

Hearing this, not only the people from here, but even the soldiers guarding this place suddenly realized, and then they understood why the dragon was locked up here. Even if they lose their magic power, they won't be locked up here with their own strength.

Then, Kebra walked to Ming Feng's side, looked at him coldly with the only one eye left, and asked coldly, "Where is the key?" ”

‘！？ ’

When he learned that Kebra still had this ability, Dutton's heart panicked, the ability to read the inner thoughts of others was too terrifying, and he didn't dare to follow the other party's question to think about the location of the key, otherwise they would get the key and let the two dragons go.

The more Dutton didn't control himself from thinking about the key, the more he couldn't control his brain, and after a moment of holding on to his eyes, Dutton's brain still thought about the key.

"In the inside pocket of his robe." Of course, Kebra didn't miss this fleeting moment, and directly said what Dutton was thinking in his heart.

Hearing this, several people were no longer ambiguous, and rushed directly to Dutton, immediately untied his clothes, took out the key from his inner pocket, and immediately went to open the door for the two dragons.

'Roar!! ’

As the cage was opened, the Hell Flame Dragon and the Bronze Dragon slowly crawled out of it. As soon as they stood up straight, the two dragons roared together, shaking the entire space.

"Uncle, do you have any plans when you come out?" Natsu looked at the Hell Flame Dragon coming out of the cage, instantly regained his mental state, and immediately asked.

"Yes, uncle! You can't fly around towns, can you? Gajiru also asked in a very reluctant tone in front of the bronze dragon.

Looking at the sincere look of the person in front of him, the Hell Flame Dragon and the Bronze Dragon did not intend to hide it anymore.

So, as soon as the words fell, the Hell Flame Dragon said directly: "I went to the north, more than a year before I came here, I left a part of my flame there in the north of this continent, and now that I am free, I want to go there to see, or it is not bad to be a guardian spirit there." ”

"I'm going to the south of the continent, and there's still something I need to guard!" And the bronze dragon seemed to have some scruples, and only said a few thoughts, and then walked to the door with the Hell Flame Dragon at one time...
