Chapter 14: The Dragon Slayer
The town of Stith is a rising city in the border mountains between the kingdoms of Brunei and the kingdoms of Yilei, and is located under the Meath Mountains.
In recent centuries, continent-wide peace has led to a swelling of the populations of all countries. The growth of the population is destined to be accompanied by the construction of new cities. Steese Town is one such city. Although the facilities are still very simple, they are full of vitality, and there are engineering teams and civil and stone magicians working on construction all the time.
early morning
Outside the café on the side of a street in the town, which has been preliminarily completed, a red-haired blood elf young man is sitting on a wicker chair placed at the door of the café, quietly drinking double the coffee. It's weird to drink coffee in the morning, but it doesn't matter if someone gives money.
The young man had one hand hanging from his neck in a bandage, apparently not slightly wounded, and on the table at hand was an open, latest issue of Magic Weekly. On the page that opens, there is a news about the research institute of Yamashiro Kingdom National College.
A few days ago, the research institute of Yamashiro College was attacked by a group of thugs of unknown origin. Nearly 100 guards were killed!And the biggest loss was that all three space magicians who were studying space magic were assassinated, and two of them were killed on the spot. The remaining one was also corrupted by the extremely corrosive dark attribute magic, and his life was in danger.
Fortunately, the emperor of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, Ye Chenhan came to the mountain city with Yang Yongxiu, a university scholar. As the first healer of the Aegean, Scholar Yang pulled Ji Qingcheng, the blessed patron of the space system who was bound to die, back from the brink of death.
His Majesty Ye Chenhan, Emperor of Jiangnan in the Western Regions, in the name of protecting Ji Chengcheng, the only space magician, invited Ji Chengcheng to Lingxiao City! Both Ji Tingcheng himself and her parents readily agreed. In particular, Ji Chengcheng's parents are extremely distrustful of the protection of the research institute of Shancheng College.
The blood elf youth drank coffee, then got up, threw down a silver coin, and left slowly without giving a second glance at the magic weekly book worth one gold coin.
The Blood Elf is, of course, Morning Ryan Montestus. It was his second day in the Kingdom of Brunei. Although he is the most wanted criminal in the Moyue Empire on the other side of the Mediterranean, no one cares about him walking on the street on this side.
When I came to a residential area in the city that had already been built, and walked into an independent courtyard, I suddenly felt that all the noise in the outside world disappeared in an instant!
After thinking about it, Chen walked into a room on the left, didn't knock on the door, and pushed the door directly.
"You're not in a good habit!" a hoarse voice remembered, and in the room, a man in a black robe was standing at a long table. There were a large number of bottles and cans on the table, containing reagents of various colors, and a group of thumb ghosts were flying back and forth with test tubes one by one.
Chen didn't speak, just turned around and closed the door, and then calmly looked at the black-robed man's hatred.
"See the news, right?" the Haunt let out an extremely ugly laugh, "Is our agreement in effect?"
"Isn't this your credit?" Chen replied lightly, "If it weren't for Ye Chenhan and his fellow scholar to arrive, wouldn't she still be dead." ”
"The truth is that she is alive in the end!" said the enemy indifferently, "Our agreement, it seems that she is not alive for what she ended up for, right?"
Chen pursed his lips and was speechless. After a while, he said, "You are too careful, and you still refuse to meet us with your true face." ”
"True face?" said the Hater with a dumb laugh, "What is the true face? the face? or the body? Moreover, are we very familiar with each other? Or do your two companions trust me?
"Brian has a lot of opinions about you!" Chen didn't answer the enemy's rhetorical question, but said to himself: "The first two are enough, and the latter two, you can completely restrain them and let Brian or me come." It doesn't seem like there's anything to lose to you. ”
"Isn't there a loss?" the enemy still said in a mocking tone: "You seem to have mistaken something, right? We are not companions, who can guarantee that you will not become my enemies in the future, I will do my best to make possible enemies grow, why should I do that?" Speaking of this, the enemy spirit was stunned: "Moreover, the blood that has been absorbed by you will be much less effective! I don't want my baby to become unsatisfactory!"
"You don't even trust your own companions......" Chen opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. Because apparently, the haters did not see them as companions.
"Brian doesn't like a companion like me, it's okay, it's only one last goal left anyway!" The evil spirit was still calm: "I don't know what the agreement between you and Ye Chenhan is, anyway, as long as I help him complete this matter again, it will have nothing to do with him anymore! I believe that there will be no more opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
Chen pursed his lips and finally shook his head: "Okay, our agreement works, if what you said really happens." Also, how are you preparing for tonight's operation?"
"It's not the first one, although the first one was hard, but now, the so-called dragon is just a flying reptile in my eyes!" The evil spirit smiled indifferently: "I didn't spoil the first four......"
Meng Yuchen nodded, turned around and went out, and then closed the door. In the room, the vengeant continued to drive the Thumb Ghost to conduct experiments.
Compared to the Jade Mountain, Hengduan Mountain, Yunling, and Wuxing Mountain in the Eastern Continent, the Rice Mountain Range is pitifully small, not to mention the 100,000 mountains in the northernmost part of Moyue.
Of course, the Meese Mountains are not big in terms of the whole Aegean, but they are not small, and tens of thousands of square kilometers are more than enough! Some mid- and low-level adventurers in the Kingdom of Brunei, the Principality of Yilei, and even the Francisco Empire often returned to the outskirts of the Meath Mountains to hunt magical beasts, and occasionally went inside. And these adventurers could hardly imagine that in such a mountain range, which was almost used as a hunting ground, there lived a giant dragon, a fifth-order dragon!
Kranio was originally a fifth-order golden dragon, and unlike ordinary dragons, the golden dragon could give birth to a second head after advancing to the fourth order, and use two kinds of magic at the same time. And if you advance to the fifth order, you will give birth to a third head, and your strength will be doubled again! Therefore, in terms of combat power, the fifth-order golden dragon is definitely above the fifth-order dragons of other lineages! Not only that, Kranio is also a fifth-order dragon who already has a domain!
Even super-level demonic beasts rarely possess domains, and only by going further above the super-level can they have the possibility of possessing domains! Kranio is such an extreme powerhouse who has completely surpassed the super-level. If you put it in terms of Aiqin's title, his strength is even above the Great Magister, close to the level of the Holy Order!
The theoretical lifespan of dragons is 10,000 years, but the average lifespan is only six or seven thousand. After all, the theoretical lifespan is based on a long-term deep sleep and deep sleep, and even dragons are rarely willing to sleep all day long in the flowery world of Aegean!
The newborn dragon clan is very strong, but no matter how strong it is, it is impossible to reach the level of super-level at birth. It takes about two thousand years or so for the dragon clan to grow before it can be considered an adult and reach the third order. At this time, the dragon clan can be regarded as a super-level demonic beast in the true sense. And the fourth order is generally between 3,5600 and 4,000 years old. There are those who are earlier than this time, but there are many dragons who can't reach the fourth order in a lifetime! As for the fifth order, it is even more difficult, and being able to reach the fifth order at the age of 4,500 is already a great achievement! And Kranio is 4,000 years old this year, and it has been a full 300 years since he reached the fifth order!
Kranioben's achievements are absolutely dazzling as far as the dragons are concerned, but few dragons pay attention to them, and even Kranio himself doesn't care a little. The reason is that Kranio has a very good brother Kraniotti, the pride of the Golden Dragons, and the famous Sky Dragon. Three thousand years old, at an age that other dragons could hardly even reach the fourth order, they had already reached the fifth order. At this time, he is working towards the level of a sixth-order epic dragon, and all the dragons believe that within a hundred years, Kragnoti will break through, then he will become the first golden dragon in history to advance to the sixth order before the age of four thousand five hundred, and he is very hopeful of impacting the legendary seventh-order!
An older brother who is so outstanding has brought unspeakable pressure to Kragno's feet! He has been trying to catch up with his brother's footsteps, but the gap is still widening! His brother, who is only three hundred years older than him, has already obtained the domain a thousand years ago, and Kragno's has only obtained it not long ago. He hadn't even found the threshold of the sixth order.
The huge pressure made Kragneo have to cultivate harder. He avoided the prosperity of the world, avoided the frolic with his fellow clansmen, and even avoided the love of the opposite sex and the same race, and hid in this inaccessible mountain range and worked hard to cultivate.
There was no nail in the mountain, and Kragneo didn't know that outside the mountain range where he lived and cultivated for five hundred years, the world had been turned upside down. Originally uninhabited for thousands of miles, now the nearest town is now at the foot of the mountain. Kragneoben has been in seclusion for too long and doesn't know much!
He didn't know that Aegean had one more Holy Order, and at this time the Holy Order had reached six! He didn't know that the space magic that originally existed only in books and theories had reappeared! He didn't know that four of his fellow clansmen had been killed by despicable means, and even their souls could not be freed! He didn't know that he was the fifth target of that group of dragon slayers!
Meng Yuchen and the four of them took advantage of the night to enter the Miss Mountain system, and although there were only four people, they were obviously divided into two groups. Meng Yuchen, Brian and Filch set it up, and the enemy soul set it up. But the haunt obviously doesn't care, of course, the whole person is a misty haunt, and even if he cares, he can't see it very clearly.
There is basically no road in the mountain, and compared to the three Filch, who are jumping and blessed by magic, the hatred soul seems to be much more leisurely! The whole person seems to be an ethereal enemy spirit following the three of them lightly, like a balloon tied to the three of them, always maintaining a distance of about three feet, not far or not close!
Brian has a big opinion about the Haunt, very, very much!
Ye Chenhan's order to them was very fucked, to let the four of them go to slay the dragon! Ye Chenhan himself was unwilling to do it for some reason, so let the four of them do it for him. This is also the price of being a super-level magical beast egg and a top-level magical weapon before.
If it was just a dragon slay, the three of Bryan would not be scared! Although the dragon was a super-level demonic beast, and the three of them were only magicians and earth fighters, it was said that they were a notch behind the super-level demonic beasts. However, all three of them were special elemental cultivators with strange methods. Not to mention that Meng Yuchen and Brian's bloodline magic is weird, and there is also the help of blood babies. Even Filch is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, with extremely strong actual combat ability, and the help of the moon blade. There is still hope that the three of them will join forces to kill a dragon!
But this one is promising, and the premise is based on the premise of the third order and below! For the fourth-order dragon, frankly speaking, the three of them are a little powerless! But Ye Chenhan asked them to deal with not a third-order dragon, nor a fourth-order dragon, but a fifth-order epic dragon!
When he first heard about this task, Brian refused! At least psychologically, he refused! Just kidding, the three of them had a six- or seven-percent chance of winning against a third-order dragon! If they were against a fourth-order, they would only have a three-percent chance at most. And if it's a fifth-order, hehe, it's good to have a 10% chance of winning! But refuse Ye Chenhan? Seriously, Brian doesn't dare! If it is said that against the fifth-order dragon, the three of them still have a 10% chance of winning, Brian is sure that against Ye Chenhan, they don't even have a 10% chance of winning!
Even Shadow Kill didn't dare to refuse Ye Chenhan, let alone them?
However, Ye Chenhan is obviously not the one who sends his subordinates to death, let them hunt and kill the fifth-order dragon for such a difficult task, naturally there will be help, and this helper is the enemy!
The three of Brian don't know how strong the enemy soul is, the enemy spirit has been mysterious since it first appeared! When Brian was in the mountain city, he secretly went to the library to check it, his ethereal state is called the witch soul, which is a very special external incarnation technique, and the usual method of high-level necromancers!
Undead magic is the No. 1 forbidden magic of the Aegean Magicians Guild. Forbidden magic is different from corrupted magic such as dark magic and blood magic. Fall is fallen, you practice and practice, the magician union will not wait to see you at most, but it is too lazy to pay attention to you. But necromancy is different! Anyone who cultivates necromancy will definitely be hunted down to the end by letting the Magicians Guild know! In fact, not only the Magicians' Guild, but even the three major empires are extremely sensitive to necromantic magic cultivators!
It makes sense that the three major empires and the magicians' guild are so sensitive! In the history of the Aegean continent, there have been two large-scale undead disasters, and the powerful necromancer manipulators and boundless undead soldiers have made the entire continent tremble! The first undead plague is too far away, and the specific details are no longer available, and the second undead plague was a thousand years ago, and there are still clear records! At that time, the Francisco Empire, one of the three great powers of the Aegean, was almost overthrown! If it weren't for the Saint · Hendry, the first president of the Francis Academy of Sciences, turned the tide, and now there is still a question of whether there is a Francisco Empire!
Due to the fear of necromantic magic, there is almost no record of the cultivation method of undead magic, but the records of some magical properties have been preserved, such as this witch soul used by the enemy!
The Witch Soul was originally a very low-level undead life, which was refined by a necromancer using the soul of a living being. A special existence between the physical and the illusory!The combat power of the witch soul is very low, basically no combat power, and it is a little troublesome to destroy, because except for the lightning and fire types, the elemental power of other attributes is basically ineffective against it, but if the lightning and fire types, the high-level magic can easily obliterate it. In addition, the dark magic of Fallen Magic also has a miraculous effect on witches.
But this kind of combat power is basically equal to zero, and there is nothing survivable in the face of fire and thunder elemental cultivators, at least it has to be a magician-level necromancer to get it, and it is also one of the necromancer's favorite magic!
The reason is also very simple, the necromancer can attach a trace of his spiritual power to it, and then he can easily manipulate it even from dozens of miles away! He can even use the witch soul to cast undead magic! All the magic of the necromancer, the witch soul with the spiritual power can be used! The powerful necromancer can even manipulate several witch souls at the same time!
Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, the necromancer used more than a dozen witch spirits to manipulate more than a dozen undead troops at the same time, and the Francisco Imperial army was defeated!
From the very beginning, only this one witch soul appeared in front of the three of them, and they never showed their true bodies from beginning to end!
If the first plant-based dragon trio still contributed a lot, and even accounted for most of the contributions, the last three can basically be regarded as a fight!
When hunting the first dragon, the Haunted summoned only one bone dragon and three Terror Knights. Although the bone dragon is also called a dragon, it can generally only be regarded as a top-level magical beast, and it is an ornament for a fifth-order dragon. Although the terrifying knight is comparable to the combat power of a fighter, it is of no great use in the face of a fifth-order dragon! In the end, it was Filch and the three of them who desperately attracted the attention of the dragon, and the enemy spirit quietly appeared behind the dragon, and used the bone spear that killed Jiang Chenghuan to pierce the gap in the skull of the giant dragon's head before killing the dragon.
For this reason, Meng Yuchen and Filch almost died! On the eve of leaving, Chen Han gave three healing elixirs that were said to be worth thousands of gold in the Jiangnan of the Western Regions to save their lives!
After that, the three were much easier, and the Hate Spirit used the first dragon to be slain to refine a zombie dragon!
The bone dragon can only be regarded as the leader among the top magical beasts, not a super-level magical beast. However, in addition to being a little sluggish because it needs to be manipulated by a necromancer, the zombie dragon is definitely an authentic super-level magical beast! Especially the zombie dragon refined with a fifth-order dragon, even if it can't catch up with the ability before death, it is not trivial!
With the participation of this zombie dragon, the battle after that was much easier! Three fifth-order dragons in succession, and the three of them barely contributed, and the hatred was solved! But it was precisely because the hatred was solved that Brian was extremely dissatisfied with the hatred!
