CH.25 The Rage of the Dragon King
Anrui looked away from the dragon's corpse and turned to the direction Rebecca was pointing, and found that there was indeed a faint bit of fire and black smoke there, which really looked like a campfire.
Could it be the dragon slayer?
Anrui's heart moved slightly, and he immediately ordered everyone to stay still, and Quasimodo stayed to sit in case of accidents, and walked to the campfire alone. The situation over there was not yet clear, and he did not rush over, but walked to the vicinity of the campfire at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.
There was only one person sitting next to the campfire, and there was no third person around but him.
Out of caution, An Rui also deliberately swept around with soul perception, but found no hidden person, it seems that the person next to the campfire is indeed a lone traveler. He looked at the man and took a quick but closer look.
Under the light of the campfire, the person's appearance and dress are revealed. He was a tall, lanky elven man, with neatly groomed hair, and a set of white clothes, which were as neat as new, and there was not a single stain to be found. On the back of his clothes, there is a dragon-shaped pattern printed, which is very beautiful.
An Rui recognized the identity of this person at a glance, and was more or less surprised.
"Dragon Castle Mentor Iragon, I've heard of the name for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here today." Anrui stopped and said to the elf man next to the campfire.
The elven man is none other than Eragon, who has just left Dragonkeep.
In fact, he had already noticed that An Rui was approaching, and he glanced at An Rui in turn, shook his head slightly, and asked tentatively: "Look at your facial features are a little familiar, could it be the king conqueror of the Nova Empire. Anrui? ”
"That's right. It's me who you recognise, and it's a real honor to be recognized by you. Anrui was polite. Urbane.
Since Anrui hid his true identity during his last trip to Dragonkeep, Eragon did not know what Anrui had done at the time, and thought that the two had met for the first time. The reason why he was able to recognize An Rui was entirely based on the portraits of celebrities he had seen before. Seven Seas World has a group of artists who make a living painting portraits of celebrities, selling them to the major powers, who are happy to buy them in order to get a sense of what they look like.
Unbeknownst to Iragon, Anrui had secretly taken away his family's power inheritance. If you knew, you would have to be angry, the value of that power inheritance is not ordinary. It has reached a point where it cannot be measured in money.
Anrui knew that Iragon was not a bad person, and he had indirectly benefited from Iragon before, so he spoke very politely.
"Your Majesty, I heard a long time ago that you are a very powerful dragon warrior. It's a pity that you didn't join Dragonkeep. I've never been to Dragoncastle, and I've never been able to see you. Iragon stood up and gestured to the side of the campfire, "If you don't like it, please take a seat here, I'll be happy to talk to you." ”
Anrui nodded, walked over to the fire, and sat down. The temperature of the flame came in a steady stream. Shining on his body, it is quite comfortable to use.
"Your Majesty. With all due respect, why didn't you get into joining Dragonkeep? After all, it is the largest dragon warrior force in the world, and almost ninety percent of dragon warriors are members of Dragon Castle and are proud of it. Iragon asked in a curious tone, and from his attitude, it didn't look like blame.
"I've wanted to join Dragoncastle for a long time, but I haven't been able to get the right opportunity. I heard that Dragon Castle will hold a dragon fighting competition in the near future, and I will participate in it when the time comes, and while participating, I will find a way to join Dragon Castle, and I will fulfill this wish. Anrui replied.
"Are you going to participate in the Dragon Fighting Tournament?"
"Yes."
"In this way, you should have come to Dragon Nest this time to find a new dragon pet." Eragon speculated.
"Yes, you should be the same, right?" An Rui asked rhetorically.
Iragon acknowledged with a nod.
The two looked at each other for a moment. Anrui suspected that Iragon was the dragon slayer, so he considered the words and said tentatively: "Before I came, I saw a lot of dragon corpses along the way, and I don't know who killed them. The one who killed those dragons should be a very powerful man. ”
This sentence is vague, in fact, it is asking if those dragons were killed by Eragon, and Iragon has that strength, and the profession also matches.
"I didn't kill those dragons. In fact, before you even opened your mouth, I was still wondering if you killed those dragons. If you can ask this question, it seems that the murderer is not you, but someone else. Eragon shook his head.
Don't look at the fact that it is the first time for the two parties to meet, but they have a certain trust in each other, because both of them are big shots, they speak very weightily, and they will not lie easily. To kill is to kill, and not to kill is not to kill.
"That dragon slayer went a little too far, in a place like Dragon Nest, it's nothing to kill one or two dragons, but too many can't. This kind of behavior will definitely alarm the dragon king in the valley, but it is not a joke. This valley can become very ...... in the near future Dangerous. By saying this, Anrui was actually reminding Iragon to take precautions. He himself has the Mark of Steel in his hand, and he is not very afraid of the Dragon King, which is different if he is someone else. Although Iragon is strong, he is not yet the opponent of the dragon king, and he cannot withstand the dragon king's anger at all.
"I know what you mean, but I can't leave yet, I've dealt with the Dragon King once before, and I've come here to see him and ask him to do me a small favor. If I leave now, this time it will be in vain. Eragon said as he rolled his eyelids, looked over the flames in front of him, and looked at Anrui's calm expression, "Look at you, it seems that you are the same as me, and you don't plan to leave." ”
"Yes, I can't leave yet."
The two invariably hid what they wanted to do, and did not ask each other about the purpose of the other.
The next conversation naturally focused on the mysterious dragon slayer, after all, there are not many people in the world who have this kind of combat power, and there are only about a hundred or so people in total. The two expressed their opinions and speculated, but they could not guess the accurate results, and only thought of a few suspicious candidates.
Some strong people have a grudge against dragons, and some strong people are keen to make money by hunting, and those dragons are likely to be killed by such strong people.
Halfway through the conversation, Anrei simply called his companions over, and Iragon welcomed them. They lit a second bonfire, and used it to roast some meat to eat and pad their stomachs.
After eating and drinking, Anrui said that he would continue on the road and asked if Iragon would like to go with him. Although it was night, it didn't affect their hurry, none of them were ordinary people, even if they didn't sleep for a few days and nights, it didn't matter, they couldn't afford to be lazy to sleep in a place like Dragon Valley, it was better to hurry at night.
"An Rui, judging from what you just said, you should be a very straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you. You and I are here for our own purposes, so it's better to go separately, thank you for your kindness. Eragon spread his hands and confessed.
Anrui nodded, agreeing, and did not force Eragon to go with his group. He waved goodbye, led his men away, and continued into the valley, leaving Iragon where he was. Looking at Iragon's meaning, it seems that he is not in a hurry.
Some dragons are nocturnal creatures that only haunt at night, and An Rui and his party rushed at night, and successively encountered some of these dragons, and subdued one of the stronger ones. This is considered the benefit of traveling at night, if it is changed to daytime, it is difficult to meet these nocturnal dragons even if they break their legs.
The captured nocturnal dragon pet was distributed to one of An Rui's men, and the man's mouth was crooked.
At this juncture, an earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly sounded in the distance, which was amazingly loud and very special, as if it sounded in people's ears. No matter where you stand, you hear the same loud noise.
The terrifying roar of the dragon shook the entire Dragon Valley violently, and the clouds in the night sky were scattered by the roar, forming a circle and spreading around, and a fierce wind swept out from the depths of the valley, flying sand and rocks everywhere it passed, and it was a mess.
An Rui was shocked so that his eardrums hurt and his heart trembled, and as for others, it was even more serious, and several people's ears were shocked with blood. Quasimodo hurriedly waved his hand and created a layer of enchantment to block the incoming roar, but the enchantment didn't last long, and was quickly shattered by the roar!
Even the barrier released by Quasimodo can be shattered, which shows how terrifying this roar is.
In the entire Dragon Valley, there is only one dragon that can send out such a terrifying dragon, and that is the Dragon King!
It seems that the dragon king has learned of the slaughter of dragons in the valley, and has been enraged by the news.
People are separated from each other, and dragons are the same, and those low-IQ dragons or wurms will not be angry even if they die more, because these dragons are no different from the beasts in the forest, but the dragons are different, these dragons have all lived for many years and are the backbone of the Dragon Valley. Some of the wise dragons, even friends of the dragon king, these dragons died so many suddenly, of course the dragon king would be furious.
Few people dare to do such a killing thing in Dragon Nest, and even if someone comes, they will be very low-key in the past, and if they capture or kill some dragons, they will leave as soon as possible, because the time spent in Dragon Nest is directly proportional to the degree of danger, and the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes.
The dragon's roar continued for a while before it subsided, but the damage caused by the roar did not immediately subside.
An Rui's head echoed with a buzzing sound, and he shook it vigorously a few times, but he couldn't get rid of the buzzing sound, and it was still so noisy. The same was true of his companions around him, all of whom were injured by the roar, and the worst one was so shocked that he fell to one knee and couldn't get up! (To be continued......)
