CH.22 Heading to the Dragon Nest
In the Tundra Continent, somewhere in a secret room in the territory of the Vikings.
The chamber was dimly lit, with only a small glowing stone as a light source, illuminating the surroundings with a dim light, but the corners were still immersed in darkness. The space in the secret room is very small, only a few square meters, just enough to fit a bed.
In this dim and cramped secret room, something quite strange is happening.
A humanoid puppet floats in mid-air, and from the appearance of the puppet, it has the shadow of a pirate king, and its red skin and saber-toothed fangs are notable features. From the surface of the puppet extend wisps of red blood, which are like red yarns in the hands of the weaver, and are recombined together through a special weaving method. The difference is that the weaver weaves often clothes, while the puppet weaves a living person.
These blood threads condensed together and became living flesh and blood, and after a long period of weaving and reorganization, they had formed most of the body.
Outwardly, this woven man is exactly the same as the Pirate King, except that he looks slightly younger and his face is not very good. At this time, he was not alive, and half of his body was still closed with his eyes closed.
The woven half of the body is the left side, and the right side of the body is missing half of the head, half of the chest, and one arm. Through the exposed wounds in the body, you can clearly see the hidden organs inside, which are lifeless and have no movement.
"Hiss ......"
Countless blood threads were entangled and injected into the Pirate King's new body. Weave bones, organs, and flesh. An eyeball takes shape quickly, but there is no eyelid to wrap around, and only a piece of flesh is connected. This eyeball made the unfinished body look even more terrifying.
I don't know how long it took. This newborn body is finally knitted.
The puppet lost its strength, and the bloodshot that spread from its body broke one by one, and after all the bloodshot was broken, a wisp of soul spat out of it. The soul fluttered into the opposite body, giving new life to this body.
Suddenly, the Pirate King's closed eyes opened, still shining brightly in the dimly lit chamber.
"Bump."
The puppeteers have completed their mission. Fell. This artifact, known as the Reborn Puppet, is extremely rare and can only be used once, once the wielder dies and is reborn. It will be completely scrapped.
The Pirate King, who had just been reborn, was still a little dazed, raised his hand in the dim and looked into the palm of his hand. It also moved a few times. After a long time. He slowly came back to his senses and figured out what had happened.
"Anrui...... He was the one who killed me! I lost several dragon pets, as well as my original strength! Damn it! Damn it! The Pirate King roared angrily into the sky, shaking the entire secret room and leaving a piece of dust behind, "An Rui, I am inseparable from you!" ”
……
Another place, Dragon Castle.
The sacred place of dragon warriors still stands on top of the mountain as usual. On the surface, it doesn't look any different, the only difference is. A famous dragon warrior is preparing to leave here and set off for another sacred place for dragon warriors, the Dragon Valley.
The dragon warrior who was about to leave was an old elven man, very white-looking, and dressed in white, his whole body was clean, and even his shoes were polished, and he could not find a single stain. From this point of view, he is a person who loves cleanliness very much, even if he is not a cleanliness addict.
Everyone in the Dragon Castle knows this elven man, he is the mentor here, and his name is Iragon.
Excluding the castle lord of Dragon Castle, Iragon's strength is definitely in the top three in Dragon Castle, and only one or two people can compete with him. In the upcoming Dragon Fighting Tournament, the castle owner will not participate, but will leave the chance to win to others. In this way, Iragon also has the hope of winning the championship, and now he is the favorite to win the championship, and some people even regard him as the next lord of Dragon Castle.
There were many people to see off Iragon, and almost two-thirds of the people from the Dragon Castle came, and they followed him and accompanied him on the road to the bottom of the mountain. The dragon warriors were accustomed to riding dragons and did not set up portals in the mountains.
The lord of the castle was also among the send-offs, walking at the front of the crowd, walking side by side with Iragon. The lord of Dragoncastle is definitely a big man, and the appearance of such big people is often very distinctive. This castle lord has the head of a dragon, the claws of the dragon, and the scales of the dragon, and he looks exactly like a half-dragon.
Unlike the normal half-dragonization, the appearance of the castle owner is permanent and does not fade over time. He has maintained a half-human, half-dragon appearance all year round, and people who don't know him are often frightened by this dignity when they suddenly see him, but those who are familiar with him will know that he is actually a very approachable elder.
"Iragon, this time you go to the Dragon Valley to negotiate with the Dragon King, you must be careful, if it does not agree with your proposal, don't force it. If you anger the Dragon King, you will be in a very dangerous situation. The castle lord reminded as he walked. His feet are dragon claws, and he doesn't wear boots, because his feet are much stronger than boots. And there was no boot in the world that could fit his sharp toenails.
"Rest assured, Lord of the Castle, I will judge the situation and will never act impulsively." Eragon reassured respectfully.
"Well, your personality is still very stable, otherwise, I would not have promised you to take this risk. Dealing with the Dragon King is not an easy task, he is one of the strongest dragons in the world today, and he is extremely intelligent. In the history of dragon warriors, only one dragon warrior has ever submitted it, and the rest have all failed. It has a very big temper and is moody, so you have to be careful when you talk to it. ”
"What if you surrendered it instead?"
"In my words...... the lord of the castle groaned, his fangy mouth grinning slightly, "at most I can tie with it, but I can't submit it and become its master." Its will is very firm, just like the mountain under our feet, which will not be shaken lightly. And I won't do such a thing, the dragon king is the master of the Dragon Valley, and having it to guard the Dragon Valley can maintain peace there, and if it leaves, the Dragon Valley will be leaderless. This leaderless group of dragons is not a metaphor, but a fact. ”
"I'm afraid that the dragon king will not be able to defeat it in my lifetime, so I can only subdue a dragon of the level of the Flame Tyrannosaurus, Nightmare Dragon, or Celestial Rex."
"The three dragons you just mentioned are strong enough, don't be presumptuous."
The two walked and chatted, and they had already reached the intersection leading to the bottom of the mountain.
Embarrassed to let so many people send him down the mountain, Eragon turned to look at the crowd, and told them to stop there. The crowd said some goodbye and stopped to see them off. Eragon waved goodbye to the crowd and walked down the stairs alone.
This is a tradition of the Dragon Castle, the dragon warriors will go up the guò steps when they come, and they will leave the dragon castle by guò steps when they leave, but this tradition is not a mandatory rule, some people will respect it, and some people will not care.
Iragon stayed on the Dragon Castle all year round and cared deeply about such traditions. He walked all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and then released the white feather dragon at the bottom of his pressure box, rode on the snow-white dragon's back and flew high, leaving the Dragon Castle and the Dragon Roaring Mountain.
……
Three days later, An Rui and his party finally returned to the Nova Empire and ended their honey trip. Coming back doesn't mean it's easy, in fact, An Rui has a lot of things to do next, the Dragon Fighting Contest is about to be held, and he has to go to the Dragon Valley to subdue a strong enough dragon pet before that.
The dragon pet he has now, or the frosty white dragon he stole from the Pirate King not long ago, is not enough to win the Dragon Fighting Tournament.
The first thing Anrui did when he returned was to flush the treasures he had seized from the Pirate King into the treasury and give some of them to his subordinates so that they could be the most suitable owners.
The second thing is to settle Edward and give him a suitable official position, and for a person like him who can't sit still, of course, he must arrange an officer position, so that he can often go out to fight. A character like him will keep to himself when he has something to do, and it is easy to have an accident if he has nothing to do.
The third thing is to adjust the dragon pet on the body, leave the right one, and reserve a vacant seat, and give the rest to your subordinates. Anrui subdued the Frost White Dragon and became the dragon's new owner, retaining the Rainbow Dragon and the Ice and Fire Two-Headed Dragon. As for Smungo and Heilanlong, they can only say goodbye.
An Rui handed over both Smungo and Heilan Dragon to the dragon warrior officers in the empire, and the dragon warriors who got these two dragon favors are the mainstays of the empire, not only strong and loyal, but also have made achievements in war before.
In this way, Anrui has an empty space to accept the new dragon pet, which is enough to accommodate a very powerful dragon pet.
This time he went to the Dragon Valley, and the object that An Rui wanted to submit to was the most powerful being in the Dragon Valley, which was called the Dragon King.
The Dragon King is an old dragon that has lived for thousands of years, has experienced many changes in the times, and has witnessed countless vicissitudes of life. It broke out of a small dragon egg and slowly grew to the point where it is today, becoming the king of the Dragon Nest. Ordinary kings rule over humans, but it rules over dragons, and thousands of dragons obey its orders, which is much more majestic than the kings of empires.
The old dragon that has lived for thousands of years can see its strength, and when it stomps on it, the entire Dragon Valley will tremble. Because of its existence, very few people dare to set foot in the core of Dragon Valley, and at most only dare to wander around the periphery.
An Rui's personal strength alone was not enough to subdue such a powerful existence as the Dragon King, and he could only rely on the help of the Iron Seal. (To be continued......)
