Chapter Twenty-Five: The Loving Dragon Maiden
"Huh? Death Boulevard? Everyone was amazed by the name that came out of Beauty's mouth. Who would have thought that the main thoroughfare of such a magnificent city in front of them would be named after the "Avenue of Death", which looks so evil.
"Yes, it's the Avenue of Death. We are a people who yearn for freedom, but freedom always needs to be earned through fighting. If you fight, you will never escape death. We yearn for freedom, but we also respect death. The avenue that runs through the city is called the Death Boulevard, not because we are bloodthirsty, but because we yearn for a free life. "Beauty is right, but the people around her don't seem to think so. Most of them grew up in a small town with the sea, and death seemed to them to be just a cycle of life, not freedom. Everyone is silenced in the midst of a beautiful commentary, and perhaps a simple avenue of death is enough to make them doubt their past.
"Beautiful." The old cannon interrupted the silent air, "Then please continue to take us down." ”
"Okay, let's just follow me."
In this way, Meili led everyone down the mountainside. After a while, they came to the huge stone embankment leading to the elven city. In front of the stone embankment, a huge stone totem is erected, on which are carved with exquisite patterns.
"Hey, beautiful, what does it mean?" Delmar asked curiously.
"Oh, if you look closely, it's an eagle with a snake in its mouth. Legend has it that the ancestors of our nation came from the north and came here according to the will of God. Originally, it was a lake, and our ancestors built this great city on the lake. The beautiful words were full of pride and pride, and the city in front of her was like a sacred place in her heart, which made her feel happy every time she looked at it.
"You say, you're saying the city was built on an artificial island?" Doom's eyes widened and he thought it was incredible.
"Yes. At least that's what the elders said to me. ”
Everyone seemed to find it hard to believe that the wide stone embankment in front of them could not be built overnight. The embankment is wide and neat, made entirely of large monolithic stone strips, and it seems that it is not connected by anything. Just by piling up the boulders, such a magnificent scenery is formed.
The secretary subconsciously swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay." Let's move on and see what else can keep our eyes open again. ”
The group continued along the stone embankment, crossed the huge suspension bridge, and before they knew it, they came to the towering Pyramid of the Moon.
"Oh my God! This...... That's too big, isn't it? Big Brother Sihai even sighed. When they stood on the mountainside and looked down, they didn't think how tall the Pyramid of the Moon was, and they were not impressed by its greatness until they actually stood in front of it.
"Alright, don't sigh, let's go inside. The High Priest may be waiting for you. With that, she walked straight forward.
And one by one, everyone's eyes widened, their mouths widened, and they kept looking up at the magical building in front of them. Who would have thought that they would be able to see such a majestic building in their ordinary lives?
"Don't look at it, hurry up and follow, and then you can take your time when you meet the high priest, and I will also take you to visit our city." Beauty seems to feel that the people behind her have never seen the world, but she is secretly proud in her heart.
Everyone hurried to catch up with the beautiful steps and passed through the gates of the Pyramid of the Moon. Inside, it looks like a palatial palace, and the walls are also made of huge strips of stone, and they are covered with all kinds of carved patterns. Polygonal chandeliers hang high all over the roof, illuminating the entire hall. A wide red gilded carpet stretches along the gate into the depths of the palace. Everyone walked slowly along the red carpet and passed through the front hall, and the inside suddenly opened up, and a taller and larger giant hall jumped in front of them. Everyone didn't have time to take a good look at the decoration in the hall. A melodious voice came from afar: "I have invited a human envoy to visit!! ”
"Human envoys. Haha, we are called envoys. The secretary snickered as she said to Delmar beside her.
"Stop arguing, let's see." Delmar was serious and immediately stopped the secretary.
I saw that at the end of the red carpet was a high platform, and on the high platform was a magnificent throne.
"That's their high priest?" The secretary bowed his head and continued to Delmar beside him.
Delma nudged him with his hand and whispered, "You still said, let's see the situation first." ”
I saw a beautiful woman sitting on the throne, with a delicate face and natural beauty, as pure and lovely as a budding flower. But when you look closely, there seems to be a breathtaking temperament between the eyebrows, which is difficult to describe, but when you put it in front of you, you can deeply feel that such an aura is coming to you. She was dressed in fine clothes and wore a high crown on her head, and sat quietly on that grand throne.
At this time, the attendant beside the woman spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the beautiful and holy, majestic and insightful high priest of our Feathertongue Elf Clan, the child of God, the guide of mortals, and the holy daughter of the dragon. ”
"Huh? Dragon Lady? She's the Dragon Lady? Everyone was actually prepared in their hearts, but when the real answer was revealed, they seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and they all sighed to each other in low voices.
At this time, I saw the dragon girl stretch out her hand to beckon everyone to be quiet, and then slowly got up, fiddled with the gorgeous clothes on her body and said, "Guests from afar, welcome to the home of our elf race. Presumably, you also have some understanding of our elves on the Beauty, so I won't introduce myself anymore. What are you visiting this time? ”
"So what? Visiting? The secretary seemed to be puzzled by the dragon girl's words, and turned to the old cannon beside him and whispered, "Didn't she summon us with some damn Xuanfeng spell of theirs?" Why do you say that we are visiting??? ”
Old Cannon felt that there was something strange about this, and he cleared his throat and replied, "My esteemed Dragon Saintess, we are grateful that the Beauty helped us when we were in trouble, and that you also used your divine magic to get us out of danger later. We have come to do so by the will of your God, not by us on our own. ”
The attendant beside the dragon girl seemed to be in a hurry, and shouted at the old cannon: "Presumptuous, what to lend a hand?" Can we, the High Priestess, be of help to ordinary humans like you? You ......"
At this time, the dragon girl stretched out her hand to interrupt the attendant's words, and said lightly: "If you come, you are a guest, why bother with the past." Arrange for them to rest first, and we'll talk about it later at the dinner. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two sides, Meimei's expression on the side seemed a little strange. According to the conversation just now, the Beauty was not sent out by the Dragon Maiden at all, and the strange wind was not released by the Dragon Maiden. Who is the prophet of the beautiful mouth? Who put this Xuanfeng spell? Beauty seems to know one thing but not the other, and she herself wants to figure out why. At this time, Lao Pao Demar and his entourage were even more suspicious, not knowing whether this trip was a blessing or a curse.
When Lao Pao heard that the dragon girl was going to hold a banquet and entertain her, he waved his hands and thanked the dragon girl: "Thank you to the dragon saintess, then we will beg for mercy and disturb the saint girl later." ”
"Come with me." The attendant on the side waved his sleeves and greeted the old cannon.
The old cannon and his party followed the attendants to the apse to rest, and everyone was suspicious along the way, as if they were all thinking about how they could be guided to this dragon land, could it be that there was anyone behind this who was guiding them?
Just as they were thinking, they came to their room. It was a large open room, and it looked like it could accommodate a dozen people. The attendant said indifferently to Lao Pao and his party: "You can rest here first, and someone will call you to the dinner later." With that, he closed the door and went out.
"Hey, hey, old cannon, come here." The secretary greeted the old cannon and spoke in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" The old cannon replied. Everyone also joined in.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with this dragon girl?" The secretary asked the old man.
Delma held back her stomach and asked, but at this time she vomited: "Yes, she said that she didn't assign Beauty to save us, nor did she cast a spell to get us out of the extreme cold. I think there's something hidden in that. ”
"Needless to say, there must be something hidden from that beauty." Doomsday is coming.
The two brothers from all over the world couldn't bear it anymore, and the eldest brother said first: "Yes, I think it must be beautiful and ghostly, otherwise how could it be so good." As soon as something happened to the Great Wave, she waited for us? ”
"Big brother is right, how can there be such a good thing in the world? She was on our boat, and we were saved. She wasn't there, and we were blown up by the strange wind while we were driving the Great Wave. The words of the second brother of the four seas were full of dissatisfaction and indignation.
"Alright, everyone, be quiet." As the commander, Lao Pao was extremely calm at this time: "Although I also think that there must be something strange in it, but before we find out the truth, we still don't act rashly." You might as well wait until dinner to see how it goes. We're waiting for an opportunity. I think there is a problem with both the dragon girl and beauty. We tread carefully, and at the dinner party, everyone tried to keep a low profile. ”
"The chief is right, we still act on the opportunity." Everyone agreed.
"Then I think, everyone should go and rest first, I haven't slept a good night's sleep these days. It's really hard for everyone. "The old cannon cares about everyone.
With that, everyone looked for a suitable place in the room to rest. But none of them knew what would happen at the dinner party, and even if they were resting, they were all nervous, and their hearts were always like hanging stones, and they couldn't let go.
On the other side, the dragon girl also returned to her living room. While dressing up, she said to the attendants beside her, "Are you all sent back to the room?" ”
"Yes, High Priest. It's all back to the room. ”
"Keep an eye on them and don't let them make any trouble." Saying that, a strange smile appeared at the corner of the dragon girl's mouth: "Hehe, this time the prey sent to the door for nothing, I have no reason not to." Hahaha. ”
"Are you going to drug them at the dinner party?"
"No, they're very vigilant, and that's self-defeating. After the dinner, I will make my own arrangements. As she spoke, the dragon girl smiled contentedly, picked up a horn comb with one hand and slowly combed her long hair.
Beauty felt uneasy in her room, pacing back and forth, and seemed to be very entangled in her heart. "The words of the High Priest seem to mean that I have exposed the whereabouts of the Dema Salvation Force, and hey, I thought that if I fooled them, the High Priest would not find out, and that I would leave them for a few days. Right now...... Ay...... That's how it can be good. Meili thought about it in her heart, but her expression looked worried.
"Should I tell them? Once the high priest found out that they had fallen into the trap, he would not let them go. When the time comes, if I absorb their essence, how will I explain it? What to do? What to do? Beautiful muttered to herself repeatedly in her room.
"Hey, by the way, who put that Xuanfeng spell? If it weren't for this wind, how would we be back here? "Beauty goes back and forth about various situations, but there seems to be no answer. The whereabouts of the previous rescuers have been discovered, but the person who saved himself is unknown. What's next for her? Is it to save people or to let it go? It was like two tangled little monsters had grown in her heart, each talking her own thing, but there was no answer.
"Hey, forget it!" Mei stomped her foot and secretly decided, "I still have to tell them to be careful." With that, Mei Mei rushed out of the door and ran to the room of the old cannon del mar and his party.
"Knock knock." There was a sharp knock on the door.
"Who. Rest and come back later. The secretary replied lazily as she lay on the bed.
"It's me, beautiful, oops, there's no time to explain." Saying that, Meili pushed the door open and rushed in.
"Beautiful, what's the matter? Look at you, in a hurry. The old cannon hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The secretary on the side became impatient, and while lying on the boat, he waved his arms and said to Meimei: "What other good things do you have, we will go to the dinner party later, and now everyone is asleep." ”
"No, no, it's not a dinner party, you guys run quickly!!" Beautiful said anxiously to everyone.
"Run?" At this time, Delma also hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why do you want to run?" Didn't you bring us here? ”
"Ah, I don't have time to explain it to you. If you don't want to die, run. Even if I brought you here by mistake, I don't want to hurt you. "Beautiful seems to be about to cry in a hurry.
"Tell me why first." The old cannon was still very calm at this time.
"Ahh What else to say? I thought the High Priest had unleashed the Xuanfeng spell, but now it seems that it was clearly not. And she didn't guide me to the beautiful to save you. I see that the high priest has seen the clue. You were sent to your door like this. She...... She ......, "Beautiful and anxious to cry."
"What's she?"
"She's a traitor to the elves! She graciously invited you to the dinner, I think she must have sucked your souls!! Beauty stamped her feet in a hurry, eager to cast some spell to take them away from the land of dragons.
"Huh?" Everyone was instantly blindfolded when they heard the beautiful words, and they seemed to feel that they had fallen into it and could not escape.
"Let's go? How to go? You know this city better than we do. It's so tightly guarded, how do we get out? "The second brother of the four seas has an upright personality, and he will say it if he has something to say. But he was right, they wanted to go, and it didn't seem that simple.
At that moment, the door rang again.
"Who?" The secretary whispered.
"Oh, ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready, please go and dine." The little guard at the door replied respectfully.
"Dining? Dinner party so soon? The secretary looked at the group with wide eyes and replied in a low voice.
Whether they are going or not going. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know, and time and space froze all at once.
