Chapter 484: The Dragon King Arrives Himself
"What?"
Hearing these two words spit out by Cheng Lin, not only Gralde, but all the dragon servants present were shocked and stunned.
No one could have imagined that this "human" would refuse.
At this moment, because Gralde deliberately restrained his breath, the "dragon power" that shrouded him was greatly reduced.
So much so that the dragon servants finally got rid of the fear from instinct, raised their heads one after another, and looked at Cheng Lin in horror.
"Mister Ezreal has rejected the Dragonlord!"
The idea came to the minds of the villagers almost at the same time.
In their eyes, Long Jue is already an extremely noble person.
Being able to restrain his breath at this moment and face Cheng Lin with such a kind attitude is already something that makes the villagers extremely surprised.
But they never expected that this "gentle", "friendly", and "never majestic" Mr. Ezreal would interrupt the dragon lord so neatly.
The refusal was clearly stated.
How can this not shock them into speechlessness?
Sang, Ke, and even the villagers such as Young Lai were all stared.
stared in disbelief at the figure not far away that was much "slender" compared to the dragon servant.
Only the village chief is more knowledgeable.
Suddenly realized that maybe they had really underestimated the weight of "immortal cultivators" before.
The "high-ranking dragon servants" who were also kneeling on the ground, and the faces of the guards of Udon City covered in ice blue hair were also terrified.
Immediately subconsciously looked at the Dragon Jue.
According to their "experience", anyone who treats dragons so rudely will always be severely punished by the dragon lord.
They didn't even suspect that the next moment their lord would tear off his disguise and spit out dragon breath in rage, freezing the "human" into ice.
However, what puzzled them was.
Faced with this situation, the dragon lord Grad was not furious.
In other words, if there were, it was not half revealed.
"Your Excellency, maybe you didn't hear clearly, I came to invite ...... in accordance with the order of the Dragon King."
"I said no, are you deaf?"
Cheng Lin stood quietly on the snow and looked at him, slightly impatient.
Hiss......
If the previous words were "polite", now, the attitude expressed by this human being could not be more obvious.
Contrary to the guesses of the dragon servants, Gralde was stunned for a moment, and then the huge pupils of his eyes shrank in surprise.
Dragons lack sufficiently developed nerves on their faces.
Therefore, it is difficult for the rest of the people to see the turmoil in its heart from the outside.
"How dare he refuse the three dragon kings!"
Gralde thought to himself, not only did he not become angry, but he subconsciously took a step back, and a sense of unexplained confusion arose in his heart.
Compared to these low-level dragon servants, Gralde knew very well what this "human" in front of him was.
He is the "revelation" that the Chief receives from fate.
It is a mystery from the unknowable.
Or it could be the only turning point for the catastrophe that is unfolding.
Unlike those dragon servants who lack fear because of ignorance.
Gralde knew more about things, and as a result, he knew better how important the figure in front of him was.
Or, in other words.
He was well aware of the Chief Dragonlord's determination to find this human.
If he hadn't handled this matter properly, then even if he was a dragon lord with an independent territory, he would have been torn to pieces by the enraged dragon king without hesitation!
Thinking of this consequence, Gralde shuddered violently.
suppressed the instinctive anger that was born because of Cheng Lin's attitude.
Even because he suppressed it too harshly, his huge, majestic dragon body suddenly seemed very humble in front of this small "human being":
"Dear Mr. Ezreal, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, and if you are annoyed by my uninvited visit, then I sincerely apologize to you in the name of the Dragonlord, but ...... The Dragon Kings are indeed anxious to invite you to meet and find your news, which has been transmitted from Dragon City to all the territories through our messengers five days ago, I believe ......"
"You said that five days ago, your three chief dragon kings started looking for me?"
Cheng Lin interrupted him again and asked with a frown.
"Yes, the portrait drawn by the Chief himself has been posted throughout the kingdom."
As he spoke, Gralde unfolded the scroll.
Cheng Lin looked at himself vividly in the picture scroll and was quite surprised.
This did surprise him.
When he came back from practicing his abilities in the forest before, he instinctively disgusted when he saw the scene in front of him, so he refused.
Now listen, from five days ago...... Well, if you count the time it took to deliver the message, maybe six or seven days ago, the dragon king of the dragon began to look for himself?
Why do dragons know they exist?
What is the purpose of coming to yourself?
"Is this part of the plot?"
Cheng Lin guessed in his heart.
The next moment, a long-lost "narrator" appeared in his mind:
[Quest (Part 2): The three dragon kings of the dragon kingdom have sent an invitation to follow Gralde out of the village within two hours]
Sure enough, it's a deduction plot......
Cheng Lin was not surprised, as for the two hours, there was a lot of time.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the ice dragon coldly and said:
"I still have some things to attend to."
"I can wait."
Gralde said immediately, relieved in his heart.
"Then just wait."
Cheng Lin said lightly, and then walked in front of the group of villagers, only then did he show a gentle smile and appease the panicked Lai, Cheng Lin looked at the sky and said:
"It's getting dark, so let's tell the story early today."
Storytelling?
Gralde was puzzled, although the villagers felt that it was very inappropriate, but Cheng Lin repeatedly requested, they could only bring benches, sit side by side in the small courtyard of the Lai family, and skillfully raise the bonfire.
Cheng Lin sat down in his chair, smiling, as if nothing had happened, and continued the morning's plot in a calm tone.
As a result, a very strange scene appeared in this small mountain village.
A group of villagers sat nervously in the small courtyard listening to stories.
And not far away, through a low, dilapidated fence gate, a giant dragon with a group of guards, stood in the snow, silently waiting.
The villagers were extremely nervous and panicked at first, but it was not until dozens of minutes later that they gradually calmed down and immersed themselves in the story.
Cheng Lin deliberately accelerated the speed of his speech, and within two hours, he finished narrating a major plot.
There are no disconsequences.
He didn't want to leave the villagers with regrets.
It's a pity that no matter how fast you tell it, you can't finish the story of millions of words.
"Crackling ......"
The bonfire in the courtyard burned, making a subtle sound.
It was already dark, and there were very small snowflakes falling.
"Okay, that's the end of today's story, let's disperse."
Cheng Lin held the warm cup, took a sip of water, looked at the deep blue sky on the bonfire, and said.
The villagers woke up from a dream and realized that it was finally time to separate.
"Izawa......"
The village chief stood up, as if to say something.
was interrupted by Cheng Lin waving his hand, so everyone got up in silence and left with amazement.
In the end, only Rai and sweet potatoes were left in place.
"Okay, after a lot of trouble, there will be a farewell, and I just want to see what the dragon king is like."
Cheng Lin got up, looked at this person and a dog, and smiled gently: "Goodbye." ”
The young man pursed his lips and stood at the door, as if he had a thousand words, but after all, he was a boy, and after all, he was just strong:
"Goodbye!"
"Wow!" Sweet potato echoed.
With a wave of his hand, Cheng Lin got up and pushed open the fence and looked at Gralde, who was almost standing as a statue.
"Your Excellency, can I go?"
"Well, but ......"
Cheng Lin glanced at the horses ridden by those high-ranking dragon servants and said, "I'm not used to this. ”
“…… The walk is too slow, allow me to give you a ride. ”
Grard was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
Immediately stretching out his wings, Cheng Lin jumped up unceremoniously and landed on his back.
Then, under the horrified eyes of many soldiers, the dragon lord flapped his wings, gradually moved away from the ground, and with a low roar, flew towards Udon City.
Grabbing the dragon's phosphorus armor, Cheng Lin squinted, the title of "Son of Blizzard" was opened, so that he was not afraid of the cold, in the freshness of riding the dragon, he turned his head to look behind him, and only saw two figures, one large and one small, standing at the entrance of the small courtyard illuminated by an orange bonfire.
Soon, the campfire shrank into a blur of light.
……
"Shall we go to Dragon City?"
Gathering his spirit, Cheng Lin asked Grad under him.
"I have already sent my subordinates to send the news back to Dragon City, no accident, at the latest tomorrow, Dragon City will send someone to pick it up, so, tonight, please stay in Udon City."
"Yes."
Cheng Lin didn't say anything more.
Just rode the Dragon Lord through the vast night and came to the dragon castle in Udon City.
These buildings, which he had already seen through his perceptual abilities, were built to facilitate the dragon, so they were extremely large, and any house was like a large hall.
But anyway, it was only for one night, and Cheng Lin didn't mind.
He didn't rush to ask the Dragon King what he was looking for, anyway, he would definitely know about these things soon.
Nothing was said all night.
……
The next morning, there was fine snow in the sky.
After meditating and practicing in the castle all night, Cheng Lin seemed to open his eyes when the morning light poured into the room through those huge windows and illuminated his surroundings.
Getting up, he moved his stiff body and walked outside, where he saw Gralde standing on the top of a blue-black stone wall.
"Your Excellency, are you awake?"
Glarde looked at him.
"Well, is the team from Dragon City here?" Cheng Lin asked casually.
"Not yet, the distance between the two places is far away, ordinary dragons, even if they fly at full speed, they can't be so fast, unless they ......"
"Unless what?" Cheng Lin looked at him.
Gralde seemed to smile and said, "Unless the Dragon King is there himself, but this is obviously impossible to ......"
Before the dragon lord's words fell, suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned around and looked into the distance.
Cheng Lin also looked at it, only to see that the gray sky suddenly brightened.
The light snow that fell from the sky turned into rain in an instant, the temperature rose rapidly, and the snow on the roofs of the city quickly melted, revealing pitch-black tiles.
This anomalous change caused the busy dragons and dragon servants in Udon to stop all their work and look into the distance.
And then there was an exclamation, and then the exclamation grew louder and louder, until it boiled!
The dark clouds burst open, and a sacred flame appeared out of thin air, enveloping the sky over the huge city!
An extremely large figure gradually revealed its true form from the flames.
Standing at the head of the wall, the dragon lord Gralde, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets.
The frost on that body had melted into a trickle at this moment.
He leaned against the wall with his dragon claws, his body slowly softened, and there was only one thought left in his mind:
"Dragon King...... The dragon king really ...... Here it comes!! ”
