CH.26 The Twelve Dragon Guards
Rebecca rubbed her ears with her hands, walked up to An Rui, and opened her mouth to say something, but An Rui didn't even hear a word.
After a few more moments, the sound in Anrui's head finally weakened, and he regained some of his hearing and heard Rebecca's words clearly.
"This roar is so terrifying, is it from the Dragon King?" Rebecca asked. She was clever enough to guess this in advance.
An Rui's expression was solemn and he nodded in response.
"Even the roar is so terrifying, how terrifying should the dragon king himself be?" Rebecca said with a palpitation.
"We are still far away from the Dragon King's 'King's Cave' here, so the damage we receive is not very large, and when we hear the Dragon King's roar at close range, the damage we receive will be several times or even more than ten times that of just now." Anrui states a terrible fact and does not exaggerate.
"What did you say?" Rebecca asked aloud. Her strength is not as good as An Rui, and her hearing has not yet recovered.
After a few more moments, after Rebecca's hearing had regained, Anrui repeated what she had just said, and this time Rebecca finally heard it.
"It seems that the Dragon King is even more terrifying than I thought before, An Rui, do you have to meet the Dragon King? I think it's too dangerous......" Rebecca was visibly frightened by the roar and retreated.
Anrui had mentioned this to Rebecca's father and daughter before he came, claiming that he wanted to meet the dragon king, but he did not explicitly say that he wanted to submit the dragon king, because it was too appalling to say such a thing.
"No, I must meet the Dragon King. As for security, you don't have to worry. If I can bring you in vertically, I can take you out vertically. An Rui assured with a smile.
"That'...... All right. Rebecca said no more.
Everyone straightened out in place and briefly treated the injuries they had just received. Then continue on the road. The Dragon King was already angry, and it could appear at any time, except for Anrui and Quasimodo, the rest of the people seemed a little worried.
For most people in the Seven Seas World, the Dragon King is equivalent to a legend, and now this legend is about to come true.
……
Another part of the Dragon's Nest.
The valley is crisscrossed and divided into many forks. Some of these paths lead to dead ends or outside the valley, and only a small part leads to the deepest part of the valley, where the dragon king is located.
Anrui is on the right path. And here's the right way to go.
Iragon walked alone in the hazy valley of the night, exuding the power of a white-feathered dragon, intimidating the little dragons and monsters that were about to move in the darkness, lest the little ones disturb him. He heard the dragon's roar just now. And it has been affected to a certain extent. But it didn't get in the way, and it couldn't dissuade him from moving on.
As he walked, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air above his head, and immediately raised his vigilance and looked up. Then I saw two small black dots approaching rapidly, from small to large, and became the outline of two giant dragons. One of the dragons was golden, somewhat similar in appearance to the Silver Fire Dragon. But it is a circle larger than the Silver Fire Dragon, and this dragon is called the Golden Fire Dragon. It is a close relative of the Silver Fire Dragon, and it is even better in terms of strength. The other dragon resembles a giant bat, black all over, with curved fangs in its mouth, and is a venerious bloodthirsty dragon that, like a vampire, feeds exclusively on blood.
"It's the Twelve Dragons...... It seems that the dragon king has already struck. "Eragorn has excellent eyes, and he knows the Dragon's Nest very well, so he has been here a few times before, and he recognizes the two dragons flying in at a glance.
The Golden Fire Dragon and the Bloodthirsty Dragon are the twelve dragon guards, with a certain amount of wisdom, under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King and the five dragon officials, and are responsible for all the work of the Dragon Valley on weekdays.
The two dragons had spotted Iragon and flew all the way above Iragon's head, hovering and roaring loudly. The roar of the two of them was far worse than the roar of the dragon king, but it was still loud, like thunder, and it spread all around.
This is a roar with meaning, a call to gather companions.
Knowing that these two dragons could understand his words, Eragorn took the initiative to report to his family: "Two respected dragons, I am Eragon of Dragon Castle, I have been here a few times before, I don't know if you still remember me. ”
The Golden Fire Dragon was a little smarter than the Bloodthirsty Dragon, and with a little human speech, it fell from above on several towering trees, trampling several trees to a crumbling ground. It looked down at the tiny Eragon below, and roared, "A dragon is dead, the dragon king is angry, we are looking for, did you kill it?" ”
Its lingua franca is very strong, its pronunciation is inaccurate, and its sentences lack coherence, allowing them to express only the most basic meanings.
"No, I didn't kill those dragons, I'm a dragon warrior, and I respect dragons very much." Iragon denied it.
"What's the proof?" Jin Huolong asked.
"Every time I've been here before, I've had nothing to do with it, and I haven't slaughtered any dragons except for the necessary dragon pets. Another point, if the dragons I killed would have run away after hearing the roar of the dragon king, how would they continue to walk into the valley. These are the proofs. ”
Jin Huolong thought about it, and seemed to feel justified, and didn't embarrass Iragorn anymore, but he didn't leave either, obviously waiting for something.
After a while, the dragon waiting for the golden fire dragon came.
A small wyvern appeared in the night sky, with extremely graceful curves and a glowing white body, and a pair of streamlined dragon wings flew under the moon in the night wind. Its size is much smaller than that of the Golden Fire Dragon, but the dragon power it exudes is several times that of the Golden Fire Dragon!
The Golden Fire Dragon and the Bloodthirsty Dragon bowed their heads together and saluted the small white dragon that flew in. In addition to giving a salute, the golden fire dragon also said: "See the dragon official!" ”
Eragon recognized the flying white dragon, this seemingly small white dragon named "Holy White Dragon" was one of the five dragon officials.
When the holy white dragon fell to the ground, it stood up like a human, walking on the ground with its claws, its wings tucked behind its back like a white cloak, and a pair of dragon claws resembling human arms, only sharper. The wisdom in its eyes is no less radiant than that of a human, and even clearer than most. Step by step, it walked up to Iragon and said, "It's you dragon warrior again, what are you doing here?" ”
Compared to the Golden Fire Dragon just now, the lingua franca spoken by the Holy White Dragon seemed to be much smoother.
"I want to see His Majesty the Dragon King." Eragon replied.
"The Dragon King is angry, and the reason must be clear to you." The holy white dragon said.
"Yes, I saw a lot of dragon corpses on the road when I came, and I deeply regret that."
"I heard your answer just now, you claim not to be a murderer."
"Of course not."
"Do you know who did it? The Dragon King is angry and is sending us around to track down the murderer. ”
Iragorn's mind flashed through An Rui and his party, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't know, if I know the clues, I will definitely inform you." ”
The holy white dragon stared at Iragon as if he wanted to see through Iragon. Iragon was calm about this, and his gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest.
"Okay. I believe your word for the time being, and I hope you don't live up to my trust. The Dragon King is furious, now is not a good time to see it, I suggest you help us find the murderer together, if you can make meritorious contributions, there is much hope of seeing the Dragon King. "It seems that the Holy White Dragon wants to grab a free labor force and spy on Iragon by the way.
"I'm willing to serve Dragon's Nest." Iragon nodded slightly, and happily agreed. Although the other party has ulterior motives, what he said is not unreasonable, and now is indeed not the time to see the Dragon King.
Eragon released his most powerful dragon pet, the White Feather Dragon, and rode on it, accompanying the Holy White Dragon, flying and patrolling together to find the dragon slayer. The White Feather Dragon came from the Valley of the Dragons, and was subdued by Iragon before leaving here, and it used to be the Twelve Dragon Guards, and knew all the dragons of the Holy White Dragon. The two dragons exchanged dragon roars as they flew side by side, reminiscing about the past.
……
Another corner of Dragon Nest.
This is neither the seat of Anrui nor the seat of Iragon.
A heavily armored figure stood on top of a dragon corpse, using a large knife to disassemble the corpse and cut a dragon horn. The powerful blade sliced through the dragon's horns, causing a large amount of dragon blood to spurt out of it. Some of the blood splattered onto the heavily armored figure's visor, adding a touch of red to it.
Suddenly, he felt something strange from the sky, and looked up, his gaze shining through the crack in his helmet was extremely cold.
"Come on. Come on! I'll kill one of them, and I'll not leave until I've killed enough. In the entire Dragon Valley, except for the Dragon King, there are no dragons who are my opponents, and you are all the objects of my hunting. The heavily armored man uttered a hoarse and hateful declaration, then withdrew his gaze and proceeded to cut the dragon's corpse beneath his feet, cutting it to pieces.
……
An Rui's group continued to move forward, albeit at a slower pace. The roar of the dragon just now alarmed the whole valley, and many weak dragons hid, but the road was much calmer than just now. From time to time, you can see dragons of all sizes flying in the sky, as if they were fleeing, and I don't know where they have fled.
Suddenly, a passing dragon noticed Anrui's group and circled above them, letting out a loud roar, as if to summon their companions.
An Rui and the others raised their heads and looked around, seeing the appearance of this giant dragon clearly.
It was a green dragon with green scales all over its body and a flower-like colorful crown on its head. An Rui recognized at a glance that this was the "Corolla Dragon", one of the twelve dragon guards, and immediately ordered the whole team to stand by and prepare for vigilance.
"Flying above us is one of the Twelve Dragonguards, who most likely mistook us for dragon slayers and was gathering our companions. Be careful, the rulers of Dragon Nest are coming. An Rui looked up at the flying green dragon, and his palm involuntarily pressed against the hilt of the sword. (To be continued......)
