443 knots, more good things
"The guild is doing well." Hearing Dante's inquiry, Lisa replied, "The recruited mercenaries have high morale and have made a great contribution to the eradication of the remaining undead monsters, saving us a lot of energy. ”
"Well, that's good!" Dante nodded, pleased with Lisa's results.
Renas watched the two chatting as she ate the dishes. She suddenly saw the forbidden encyclopedia that Lisa was carrying around her waist, and said in surprise, "Huh? I didn't notice it just now, why did Sister Lisa still carry a book with her? This book looks really special, can you show it to my sister? ”
"Huh? Okay, okay. Lisa saw that Renas took the initiative to ask to see the encyclopedia, but it was difficult to refuse, so she could only take the encyclopedia down, hold it in both hands, and hand it over.
Dante hadn't touched the old man in the encyclopedia for a long time, and if it wasn't for this passing by the palace of the griffon kingdom, he almost forgot the book. When he saw Renas receiving the forbidden encyclopedia from Lisa, he wondered curiously, I wonder how the old man of the encyclopedia would react to Renas?
However, to Dante's surprise, Renas took the encyclopedia, sat back in his chair, and began to flip through it.
“……”
Lisa was stunned when she saw Renas for the first time, and watched her flip through the encyclopedia and seem to be able to see the contents of the pages. Dante was the same, and after discovering that Renas had taken the book, he kept looking at the pages inside. It seems that the text content can really be seen.
It was something he hadn't thought of. Dante himself is an encyclopedia and thinks that no one but Lisa can read the content.
"Huh...... Swish...... "...... Renus was just browsing. Page by page quickly flipped back without looking closely. After a while, she looked at a small part, then closed the cover of the book, buckled the seal, returned it to Lisa, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it." I really didn't expect it. ”
"Huh? Yes? How? Lisa hurriedly picked up the encyclopedia and asked suspiciously, "What?" What's wrong? ”
Renus stared at Lisa intently. said, "Sister Lisa actually likes to read such advanced books? I really can't think of it. ”
Lisa subconsciously hung the encyclopedia back on her waist and replied, "Renus, you've won the prize." I usually like to read. Still, a book worth reading. It doesn't feel like much. ”
Speaking of which. She seemed to realize that what she had just said was a little immodest, and hurriedly changed her words: "Well, I mean, there are not many books that I like to read, and I can match my tastes. Maybe I'm too lonely to see so many good books. I've been reading this book since Dante gave me it. This book is really profound. There's an endless amount of stuff in it, I've been looking at it for so long. It's only scratching the surface. Hehe......"
"It turned out to be a school bully sister who likes to read." Renas teased, really unforgiving. She said to Dante, "Dante, Sister Xueba is so likable. Alas, why didn't you introduce her to me earlier? ”
"Well, Renas......" Dante said to her, "all right, spare Lisa and me." Lisa is a very capable person, but she has been busy with the construction of the guild and has not gone to the castle. I haven't known you for long, and I've been fighting, and I haven't had time to introduce each other yet. ”
"Sister Lisa." Renus pointed to the forbidden encyclopedia and said to Lisa, "The book you read is indeed a good book. However, I have more valuable things there, and when I get back from Silvermoon City, I'll take you to see the good things we have there. ”
Good stuff? When Dante heard her words, he remembered the mysterious secret methods of the black dragon. The "more valuable things" that Renas spoke of may be the books that record the secret methods of the Black Dragon. Black dragons are creatures that gather great strength and extremely high intelligence, and it is normal to be able to create something unbelievable.
Dante remembered that until now, he had not explained Renas's identity to Lisa. He asked Renas, "Renas, Lisa hasn't really known you yet. How about telling her about your situation? ”
"Huh? Yes......" Lisa answered when she heard Dante's words. She seems to be intrigued by Renas's identity.
"Well, it's all my own." Renus smiled and said, "Dante, say it." ”
So, Dante briefly told Lisa everything that had happened before, and gave a general introduction to Renas's identity as the black dragon princess, as well as some information about the Black Dragon Legion.
After hearing this, Lisa looked at Renus in surprise, as if she had not expected this to be the case. She said hesitantly, "I, I really didn't expect Renas to ......"
"Oh, Sister Xueba......" Renas hurriedly reminded her, "just call my sister." Why are you so restrained? Good sister, my sister has a lot of secret books there, and when the time comes, you can read as many as you want. As for the book you are reading now, there are many things that are relatively superficial, because its author was originally written by a servant of the black dragon. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Dante and Lisa were even more surprised when they heard her. However, Dante soon came to his senses. This is not surprising, according to the old man of the encyclopedia, the book was written by an elf from the time of ancient wars. The identity of the elf was not stated, but since Renas said it was written by a servant, it was so.
"Of course! Why should I lie to you? Renus was quite proud and said, "The real family of the Black Dragon Legion is not those glittering gold and silver treasures, but the secret method that has been the result of the efforts of the Black Dragons of all generations. There are many types of arcane methods, ranging from those used to forge weapons, to magic, to base building methods. These are the true treasures of the Black Dragon Legion. But ......"
Speaking of this, she sighed, spread her hands and said, "I will only say this to the people I trust the most. I...... Uh......"
She seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "I'm not very interested in these things, only when needed, let Lacio arrange for his subordinates to look up the information." My dad and mom are the best at studying the secret methods of preservation. Hehe......"
When Dante heard this, he asked her, "Where are all your books of secret methods?" ”
"Inside the lair of Blade Mountain." Renus replied, "It's a pity that Dad and Mom kept the Secret Scrolls in many places in the Star Ocean, but later, most of the burial sites got out of control. In this way, many secret methods were lost, my father was so sick that I couldn't move, and my mother was trapped before she was rescued. Now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find those lost secret law scrolls again. ”
"......" Dante couldn't help but think of the previous battle in Jaka in Zulfarak.
Judging from the situation at the time, Nesario personally supervised the battle, and Wimsalaq led the Black Dragon Legion to attack the troll-occupied Zulfarak......
Wimsalaq was killed in the battle of Blade Mountain, so the attack on Zul Falak must have been ahead of the Battle of Blade Mountain.
Nesario seemed to be more conscious at the time, though he was still retreating due to a sudden headache, but it was clearly much more conscious at the time than it is now.
It is reasonable to speculate that Nesario learns that the trolls have taken over a site where he keeps the arcane scrolls, and has established the troll city there, Zulfarak. In order to regain the secret law preservation site, the king of the black dragon led his troops to attack the trolls.
Originally, under the blow of hundreds of millions of dragon flames, the trolls were already on the verge of extinction, but at the critical moment, the blood god Haka used his super magic power to severely damage the black dragon king, which was a light enemy, and may also induce its original disease. In this way, under the misfortune of various factors, the king of the black dragon could only withdraw his troops in humiliation under the torture of injuries.
Then, Nesario may become ill and unable to lead the Black Dragon Legion on the move. This also led to the growing morale of the Black Dragon Legion.
The Black Dragon Legion was originally a violent creature group with the only rule of "power first". If the leader is in a state of weakness and sickness for a long time, it is easy to create a full power vacuum, which leads to the instability of the group.
As a result, Sinestria, the queen of the Black Dragons, took over the task of commanding the Legion of Purge, and began to try to win several battles to boost the morale of the Black Dragons.
Although victory and defeat are common sense, the crushing defeats of Sinesstra and Wimsalaq have made the Black Dragons even more chaotic. The careerist hiding in the shadows is ready to take the opportunity to launch a rebellion, trying to kill the underage Onexia and the comatose Nesario, but fortunately they are eliminated by Nesario in time.
It's really a thrilling battle between the open and the dark! (To be continued.) )
