Part 4 Crossing the Mist, Mountains and Seas 36 Summon a dragon
36 Summon the Dragon
The wind swept the clouds and the sea together, slamming them hard against the boulders on the shore. The waves grinned, beating the shore mercilessly, spitting out the droplets again and again, swallowing the waves back again and again, as if responding to the roar of the wind and the provocation of the black clouds. The wind and waves around Bantu Island show people that it is always stubborn, and at all times, it tells the advice of "get out of here" with the harsh climate and environment.
"The ship can't be here for a long time, it's too windy," the captain reminded everyone, "how many days will it take you to explore the island?" ”
"Three days." Melo responded, asking for Kran's opinion with his eyes, who nodded in agreement.
"I'll have someone prepare enough supplies for you, preferably some firewood for a fire." The captain instructed the sailors to approach halfway to the island and make a landing. Due to the strong wind and waves, the small boats lowered on the ship could not sail stably at sea, and finally the two small boats had to be fixed side by side to sail a little more smoothly. During the voyage, Parrett and the sailor struggled to control the dinghy, but they still couldn't stop it from shaking, and Irene, who was seasick herself, couldn't stand the torture, but the dinghy quickly sent them to shore, and after disembarking, Milo found herself seasick, almost paralyzed on the beach like Erin.
The sailors hurried back to the Otter in their dinghy, and the old expedition ship quickly left the place where the storm had gathered, and soon disappeared below the horizon. Halfway through, the four men on the island rested for a while and headed inland, soon discovering that a giant stone pillar was blocking their way.
"It's right here, there's no need to go any further." Melo shouted. The wind was still strong on the island, and he had to shout loudly. Kelan pointed to the bottom of the giant stone pillar, where there was a small cavern that had been sunken into it for them to shelter, and the four of them ran over. In the cave, several people could finally hear the sound of speech clearly, but the "whirring" wind outside was still very loud, which made people shudder.
Erin rubbed her body and said, "It's too windy here, but fortunately there is this leather coat, otherwise it will blow out of the disease." "The feeling of seasickness has passed, and they have all regained their spirits. Milo took off her coat and put it on Erin, who immediately refused, "You take care of yourself too, I'm fine here." ”
"You two don't show affection, the next thing is very serious." Parrett reminded from the side, noticing that Kran's expression wasn't at all relaxed.
"Oh." "Hmm."
Klan took out the "Horn Spell Stone" borrowed from the Green Dragon Mercenary from his pocket and carefully placed it a little further away from the cave. "Friends, be prepared for whatever we summon, there is no way to know if the other side is hostile or not." Kran reminded, and after confirming that they were all nodding, Kran began to recite the incantation silently......
I saw that the spell stone began to glow, emitting an orange-yellow light, which was particularly shining in this black cloud-covered halfway island. Kelan coughed lightly and pronounced the voice: "Woo-woo-huh-hiss-goo-hiss-" The six syllables correspond to the words on the six faces of the spell stone used to summon the wind chimes, as Kelan said, are all onomatopoeia, imitating the cry of a dragon...... No, it's language.
The voice of Kelan's voice was not very loud, but with each syllable, the light from the horn spell stone flickered, as if echoing Kelan's voice. Then, outside the cave, the syllables recited by Kelan gradually amplified with the effect of the spell stone, and the depression was moving and refreshing. A familiar feeling welled up in the hearts of Milo and Parrett—the voices they had heard at the Ryx Altar...... No, it was the voice that I felt with my heart, and it sounded again.
Six syllables, piercing through the black clouds and wind and waves, spreading into the distance......
The orange-yellow glow emitted by the Horn Spell Stone was gone, and Koran remained standing, the other three waiting for her next move, but ......
Like a puppet with a broken string, Klan fell to the ground.
"Kolan!" The three shouted together, and Parrett stepped forward to help her up, only to find Klan unconscious with her eyes closed.
"What's the matter with her?" Erin asked in a panic as if she had lost her backbone.
Parrett was obviously more anxious than Irene: "I don't know...... Kolan? Kolan? Can you hear me? ”
Milo understood that being anxious now was not the way to go, he tried to suppress the panic in his heart, and said calmly and firmly, "Parrett, bring Kran in, it's too windy outside...... and then he took off his leather coat, "Erin, help me lay it out and let her lie here." Seeing that Milo was so calm, the two of them panicked, but they still held their feet.
"Erin, check to see if there's any injury on her." Milo continued to command, "Parrett, let's go outside and have a look...... I know you're worried about Klan, but we also need to check the situation outside, and I don't know if this spell stone has any effect. ”
A distraught Parrett stared at Kolan's somewhat pale face and ignored it. Milo ordered decisively: "Remember what Kolan said? Be prepared to respond, and who knows what's going to show up right away? This woke Parrett, who carefully placed Kolan flat on his leather coat and reluctantly followed Milo out of the cave.
Melo carefully wrapped the "Horn Spell Stone" and led Parrett outside the cave, and the two of them checked their weapons and equipment and looked into the distance. Erin carefully examines Klan's body for wounds, but fortunately she finds nothing. She felt Klan's breathing carefully, even but faintly, and Erin speculated that she was unconscious due to lack of strength. But how can you be physically exhausted? Kelan obviously just read out six bytes softly, where did he spend his physical strength?
It began to rain outside the cave, and Melo and Parrett circled the area, finding no suspicious traces. "Don't worry, Koran will be fine." Melo comforts Parrett that he looks out to sea, but because of the rain, he can't see clearly.
"It's raining heavily, let's go back quickly!" Parrett said absentmindedly, wanting to quickly go into the cave to see how Koran was doing.
Milo was still calm: "Let's take a look, maybe-" Before he finished speaking, the two of them felt the ground tremble at the same time, and at the same time heard a loud "thump".
"This! What's going on? Parrett panicked and ran towards the cave without saying a word. Melo didn't stop him, as the tremors and loud noises made him shake as well, but he carefully checked his surroundings for danger, and followed Parrett back to the cave.
As soon as Erin saw the two of them coming back, she hurriedly asked, "What's going on outside?" There was a shock in this hole just now! ”
"Is Kelan alright?" Parrett hurriedly asked, ignoring the answer, and Melo then replied, "We don't know—"
"Boom-" There was another loud bang, another violent vibration!
"It's-" "Steady-" "Don't panic just yet-" The three of them messed around in the cave, but Milo managed to keep the situation under control in time. But the next scene made the three unforgettable for life:
A huge eye, suddenly pressed against the mouth of the cave, looked at them. Those eyes were the size of a door.
"Dragon!" The three of them were dumbfounded, and although they only saw their eyes, the loud noise and violent shaking were also proving to them how big the dragon's body was. The three of them, who didn't know what to do, had to look into the eyes, and they didn't make any movements—it was better that their bodies were too frightened to move.
After a few moments, the eye looked away, and he could see beyond the cave again. No more loud noises, no more violent tremors...... But the three of them remained still, for fear of arguing about something.
Kolan, who was lying on the leather coat, finally woke up leisurely, "...... Carl, is that you? She said weakly, her eyes slightly open. Seeing that Kelan woke up, the three of them were very excited, but they all suppressed their emotions, afraid of scaring her.
"Can you hear me? Kolan? Parrett asked softly, and Erin helped her up. Melo vigilantly guards the mouth of the cave, keeping an eye out for the reappearance of that huge eye.
Kelan slowed down for a moment, and her pale face gradually returned to ruddy. "Don't worry, I'm just tired, probably from using magic......" Koran said, reassuring Erin and Parrett a little, just then-
"Who?" Melo shouted at the mouth of the cave, and all eyes looked at the mouth of the cave, where the shadow of a man stood, "Please come in, we are not bad people. Melo said this, but his hand was pressed to the hilt of his sword. Erin picked up the musket, and Parrett clenched the hammer......
"Did you call me?" The old man's voice entered the cave and lifted everyone's nerves, and it seemed that the person in front of him was the dragon.
"Are you a dragon?" Milo asked cautiously, taking out the flint and wood as she prepared to light a fire.
Without answering, the figure slowly walked in, and the four of them did not stop them.
The fire was lit, and the light of the fire illuminated the cavern, and shone on the man's face—he was a kind-faced old man, with silver hair, and very carefully combed, without a trace of disarray; The face is bronzed, with sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes, and the person who confides in the vicissitudes of time and the span of time; The long silver-white beard cascading down from the upper lip and chin and hanging down the front of the chest is also very neat; Dressed in a brown robe, he appeared very tall because he stood straight, and carried a pair of canes in his hands.
"You summoned me in the language of a dragon, but do you want to confirm my identity?" The old man asked rhetorically, then glanced at everyone in the cave.
"Oh, it looks like you're making it." The old man walked over to Kran, but Parrett stood between the two, afraid that he would hurt her, "Don't be nervous, child. The old man said, "As a human being, she summoned me in the language of a dragon, and it took too much physical strength, so she is very weak now." As soon as the old man said this, Parrett immediately respectfully stepped out of the way and bowed, "Just need to rest and rest, but don't do it in the future, your body can't bear it." The old man instructed.
Kelan nodded lightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, dragon...... What should I call you? ”
The old man sat on the ground and motioned for a few people to sit down as well. Now that their identities have been confirmed, Milo and Erin are no longer nervous, putting their weapons aside and sitting next to the fire.
"My name ......," the old man muttered, "I have almost forgotten myself...... You can call me that—"
"—Umi Stream."
You should remember the name—one of the few names King Ryan recalled in the memories of the wind chimes that Kolan explored! It is the prince of Dragon who was persecuted to death by the Wanyuan Sect in history!
The rain on the island stopped, and the wind and waves showed no signs of slowing down, and continued to wreak havoc......
