Act 198 The Dragon's Treasure?
Princess Griffiin and Antitina walked through the dark corridors, their soft light shining through the wide white arched windows, imprinting the lattices on the floor, and the air was filled with light and dust.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the movements of the royal party have been a little abnormal recently."
Antitina whispered suddenly, for a moment she was in the bright light, the golden buttons of her dress glittering in the sunlight, but she quickly stepped into the shadows, her eyes shining with a heavy light in the darkness.
Princess Griffiin paused for a moment, then took another step, her voice cold and calm: "They are finally going to be unable to hold back, how much time do we have left?" β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the ministers are very dissatisfied with your trust in the lord too much, and they are also quite complaining about you sending Prince Haruzer to Cruz, the matter of the lord's involvement in the civil war of the empire has been widely discussed in the country, coupled with this incident, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the ministers to endure it any longer."
Antitina hesitated: "In fact, some not-so-good rumors have begun to circulate outside......"
Princess Griffiin stopped again, and Antitina stopped, and the two stood by a window, the light and dark light falling on the upper body of Her Royal Highness, her silky silver hair glittering in the sun, and on the chest of her gown was an aqua-blue gem, which reflected the disdain on her face:
"Rumors? Do you mean that the pair of dog men and women conspired to kill His Royal Highness the little prince and justifiably seek to seize the throne? β
After saying this, Princess Griffiin herself felt a little too rude, and her face flushed, her skin was almost transparent in the bright light, and the flush extended down to the base of her neck: "How can I not know the filthy thoughts in the hearts of those people."
Antitina was stunned from the sidelines, and couldn't help but admire the beauty of Her Royal Highness the princess.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
"Antitina. The crux of the matter is the struggle for power," replied Princess Griffiin softly, "so that wherever your lord is, or what he does, it will be the same, and there will be no difference; Except for Lord Overwell, the royal party is no longer reliableβ"
Antitina was silent, knowing that the other party was right.
"Then we should be prepared. Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
Princess Griffiin nodded, and walked on, "Antitina, go back to Valhalla." β
"But Your Highness Princess, my lord asked me to protect you."
Princess Griffiin glanced back at the serious Antitina and couldn't help but wonder, "Antitina, who is more powerful between the two of us?" β
Antitina was stunned.
The two of them were passing between two arched windows, their slender figures hidden in the shadows behind the bright light. All that was left was the clatter of footsteps.
Without waiting for Antitina to speak, Princess Griffiin continued: "Antitina, Mr. Brando kept you with me because I can't trust anyone else, and I am the only one with whom you and Overwell can be trusted. I'm going to have Overwell go to Lantonyland and convince the Grand Duke of Lantoniland, so Valhalla will have to be handed over to you, not to mention that it is also your lord's inheritance. β
Antitina's expression was obscure in the shadows. She also knew that Grand Duke Lantony had just planned to let the Duke inherit the throne to his eldest grandson, and now was the best opportunity.
But-
"Your Highness the Princess. It's too dangerous for you to stay alone with Denel. β
"Don't I have Miss Freya by my side, she'll protect me."
"But Your Highness the Princess, you plan to let Freya go to Karasu," Antitina replied with a frown, "Your Highness the Princess, don't think I don't know about this! β
"Antitina, is that how you usually talk to Mr. Brando?" Princess Griffiin smiled: "A staff member like you who is so strict and serious. It's the first time I've seen you, but thank you anyway. β
Antitina blushed and said unhappily: "Your Royal Highness, don't change the subject. β
The front is brightening again.
Princess Griffiin stared at the gold leaves outside the white window lattice, each one hinting at the coming season of depression: "Don't worry. It's safe for me to stay here, and the royal party won't dare to do anything to me, but it's hard for you to say. Besides, I must stay, Eruin cannot be in turmoil, and if I leave here today, tomorrow the kingdom will fall back into civil strife, do you understand? β
Antitina was silent, she looked at the other party's thin back, and sighed softly.
"Your Royal Highness, please ask your lord for help."
"Mr. Brando knows our predicament, he'll figure it out, and I trust him." Princess Griffiin replied with a smile.
β¦β¦
"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Mithriel."
"You're gracious," Ms. Mithriel shed her human disguise, revealing her original silver dragon body, she bent her neck slightly, looked at Brando in front of her with mercury-like eyes, and replied with a 'smile': "I didn't keep an eye on the three-headed rebel dragon, this was originally the trouble caused by our dragon, and caused a lot of damage to you humans, but fortunately, with your help, I was able to inform the clan as soon as possible." β
She sighed slightly, and the appearance of this giant dragon beauty sighing was extremely elegant, as if others would also empathize with pity: "It's a pity that the dragon queen ran away, so we will stay in the mortal world for a while to search for her whereabouts." β
The mountain wind is howling, it seems to become wilder in this season, the mountains near and far are full of rolling evergreen walkways, with a hint of coldness around, as if to imply that the long summer is about to twilight, autumn has swept from the direction of the wilderness along the cold wind, in many places, the mountains and forests are dyed with conspicuous red.
The valley was still a gloomy and smoky scene, with corpses, broken armor and banners pouring out of the previous great battle that had taken place here, and the corpse of a black dragon strewn across the valley, and the fierce battle that broke out in the vicinity completely changed the course of several nearby mountains. Not to mention the soldiers of Toquinin and Qiaogendigang around them, thousands of dragon beast corpses were piled up on top of each other at the bottom of the valley, and as for those golden-maned lion people, their bones were long gone.
With the exception of a small number of Torquinine soldiers who fled in all directions, almost all of the Earth Temple's forces were killed here. The cavemen of Jogandigan fled relatively quickly, but the high-ranking troops were also lost, and the remaining part was not to be feared, and it was even suspected that they did not dare to return to the surface at all.
All in all, this was a rare victory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it completely disintegrated the two alien coalition forces.
Although Brando knew that in Anzlova and Anzeruta there might also be the armies of Jogandigan and Torquinin. But the battle was enough to scare them out, and it's hard to say whether they'll have the guts to go north after that. As for whether the White Lion Guards should go south, Brando didn't see the need to help Lenaret regain territory.
He silently looked in the direction of the valley, this battle was actually a bit beyond his expectations, originally he just wanted to give the combined forces of Qiaogendegang and Torquinin a head-on blow, but he did not expect that it would end up in a battle of annihilation.
There was a whirring wind in the sky, and the strong wind blew the dead branches on the top of the hill to sway, and Brando had to hold down the hem of his trench coat, and he looked up. A great shadow was falling from the sky, and it was several dragons of different colors, their wings outstretched, hovering over Brando's head, almost obscuring the sky.
These dragons are the ones who have changed this war.
Brando tilted his head, and the group of dragons silently looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.
There were seven dragons in the sky, and Brando only recognized the red dragon in the middle, which had a rare double head. It is supposed to be the legend of the dragons, the Blaze, the deformed dragon that is one of the strongest dragons of the moment. It is also one of the longest-living three-headed dragons in the dragon family, and it is said that it was born before the era of Chaos, when the Miner ruled the land, and it participated in the War of the Sages, and was one of the commanders of the time.
"They're thanking you," Misrel explained, "and you've done them a great favor." β
Brando retracted his gaze. Looking at the Silver Dragon Lady with some curiosity: "You dragons and Bugas hardly interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, and ordinary people often think that you are arrogant in the world, but now it seems that you did not take the initiative to do this-"
"Is it just a three-headed rebel dragon that has such a big impact on you?"
"I'm not going to be able to answer that question to you." Mithriel shook her head and said, "But I can tell you that we do not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world because we are bound by a sacred oath. β
Brando's heart wondered what kind of oath could restrain the dragon and the equally powerful Buggas.
But if the oath is so formidable, the Bugas and the dragons don't seem to be completely indifferent to mortal affairs, such as this one, they show great flexibility rather than rigidity.
As if sensing what he was thinking, Mithriel spoke, "This time the Buga and we are also in love. β
"Huh?"
"The current qiΔ is a continuation of the mistakes made decades ago, and speaking of which, we all owe a lot of kindness to your grandfather that time." Lady Yinlong said: "This time we helped you win this war, on the one hand, to punish the three rebel dragons, but on the other hand, to repay your grandfather's favor. β
"However, the mistakes they made are actually related to what you saw on the final battlefield decades ago." Brando asked suddenly.
Mithriel glanced at him, "I don't dare to say that. β
Brando suddenly saw a silver dragon flying lower in the sky, the dragon looked similar to Misriel, but it was more majestic, with several silver tentacles hanging from its long and narrow head.
"That's my sister," Mithriel explained, "she's thanking you for saving me." β
Brando shook his head: "Actually, it's not a rescue, you and Miss Mithriel were only in alliance with each other at that time, after all, in front of the three-headed dragon, I didn't have much power to protect myself." β
"But anyway," said the Silver Dragon Lady with a smile, "it's a fact that you saved me, and we dragons have always been grateful. β
For some reason, hearing this, Brando suddenly remembered a small figure.
He felt a pang of nostalgia in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Lady Mithreel, do you know a golden dragon?" β
"Golden Dragon?" Misriel was slightly stunned: "The golden dragon and the silver dragon are both high-ranking dragons, and there are few among the dragons, so we should be more familiar with each other." β
"Her name is Aloz."
"She," Lady Silver Dragon said with a strange look on her face, "She seems to have cheated during the rite of passage and was locked up." β
"That guy has escaped." A voice in the sky spoke, and it was Mithreel's sister who spoke, and she gestured to Brando, "Lord Blazing Gold is furious about this. Little one, if you see her, you'd better stay away, she's a big problem in her own right now. β
When Brando heard the news, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he had an intuition in his heart that the little she-dragon would definitely come looking for him.
Of course, it wasn't a problem for her to come to herself.
The problem is that according to Sister Mithriel, the other party is now a time bomb, and God knows if the golden dragon will be angry with him because of this, and he can only pray that the little witch will never find him.
-- At least until the current series of troubles is resolved.
Misriel seemed to see his concern, and reminded him: "Don't forget, the Elven Queen also owes you a favor, and the Wild Elf Royal Family has a heirloom treasure called the Dragon Avoiding Orb, which is said to be able to completely disappear within the dragon's perceptual range. This orb is one of the gifts of the dragon king Bahamut, the full name is called the trail of the green field, the blessing of Bahamut, it and the crimson blessing are one of the two dragon king holy relics. This treasure doesn't mean much to the wild elves, they have a good relationship with the dragon clan, they don't need this thing at all, you saved her daughter, why don't you let her lend this treasure to you. β
Brando was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look in the other direction, where the elf and her pseudo-dragon companion were following behind a tall elven beauty with a dejected face - behind her was a whole team of wild elven guards, and dozens of whistling archers in the ruins. This is the Praetorian Guard of the Wild Elf Royal Court, and the other party is the current Elf Queen, who arrived with the dragon, and the purpose is naturally to find Her Royal Highness the Wild Elf's long-missing princess.
It seems that when they were noticed by Elranta before, the sage had already told the queen of the elf's whereabouts.
"Are you okay?" Brando looked at the crying elf bear child who refused to part with Chiara, and wondered when the two guys were so good, and asked Mithriel.
Lady Silver Dragon nodded to him: "She will definitely agree, that thing doesn't mean much to the wild elves, she can see the relationship between you and the dragons, even if it is at this level, she will lend it to you." β
"And," Mysriel winked at him, "you saved my life and helped us so much, but don't forget to ask Blaze for a treasure, if my guess is right, they won't give it to you if you don't ask." You know, we dragons have always been very stingy in this regard. β
Brando couldn't help but look up at Lady Silver Dragon with great curiosity, "But Miss Mithriel, you seem to be an exception. β
"That's because I don't have to pay for it anyway," replied Lady Yinlong very slyly, "Do you understand, there is no chance to be lost." β
The treasure of the dragon clan, Brando's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
