Chapter 13: A Brief Silence

"Relying too much on you will only limit my growth. Owen, that's what you think. ”

Sophia smiled bitterly and sweetly. If she could, she would rather never grow up and always rely on his arms, but she knew she couldn't because the burden was heavy on her.

"Hmm. Let's go. Sophia nodded to her two companions and walked towards the col where she remembered the floatship being parked.

At this moment, a snake and chicken beast quietly flew up from Sophia's back and slashed down her back......

"Wow--"

A woman's scream resounded throughout the Kuka Mountains.

"Death. What do you think we're going to do with this little guy?"

Joika pulled out the winged elf who was hiding behind the corpse of the snake and chicken beast and secretly approached Sophia with the corpse, and pinched it in her hand like a doll.

"Let go of me! let go of me! it hurts!" Bezy struggled out, but her limbs were bound and she couldn't escape the strong grip between Joica's hands.

"Bess, you're doing boring stuff again. Sophia looked at the struggling Beth and sighed in disgust.

Although Beth brought back her sister Luna from the Underworld, it doesn't mean that the two of them have to be inseparable. After escaping the Papal Palace, surrounded by the black air of death, Owen kept his promise and prepared a sumptuous dinner for Luna. The "battle situation" that night stunned everyone, and even Cassius, who was a foodie, didn't expect her to have such a powerful "combat power", this winged elf whose body size was no different from a cat actually ate the equivalent of 7 people, no, it was the amount of 7 Cassius. While Luna is satisfied, the consequence is that the winged elf has been entangled with Owen ever since.

As for Bessy, who had a strict "psychological shadow" on Owen, of course she didn't dare to go with her, so she entangled another person: Sophia, a "soft pestle" who was specially bullied by her. Along the way, Bess has been making a lot of dramas, especially after learning that Owen is gone. At first, Sophia was very bothered by Bess's pranks, but the winged elf stuck like a plaster and couldn't get rid of it, and then Sophia didn't bother to take care of her, and gradually got used to it.

"You can't just make a joke. Cassius walked over and released a cold aura to freeze the body of the snake and chicken beast, "Although this snake and chicken beast is dead, the venom glands in the root of the beak can still secrete toxins, and if it is poked, it will still be poisoned." ”

"I already knew about it!" Exclaimed Bess unconvinced.

Finally, with brute force, she broke free of Joyka's grip, flew into the air and circled twice, crossed her waist, pouted, and pretended to be angry, and shouted to Sophia, "Can't you just joke? ”

With that, Beth swooped down on Sophia at lightning speed, Sophia only felt a slight blow to her right waist, and by the time she came back to her senses, Beth had already flown up into the sky. Suddenly, Sophia seemed to remember something, she touched her waist, and sure enough, the thing that was pinned to her waist was taken away.

"Give it back to me!" Sophia's face changed, and she hurriedly chased in the direction where Beth had flown away.

"Cut!" Beth stuck out her tongue, grimaced at Sophia, and flew deep into the woods.

That thing is the sacred pendant of the Vampire Prince. When escaping from the Papal Palace, the Prince of Vampire entrusted her to transfer the soul of Meijia, who was imprisoned in the "Holy Cry of Sorrow", to the sacred pendant, and then let Meijia get transcendent, Sophia also wanted Meijia to be free, which was one of the reasons why she found the Holy Spirit in the first place, but she soon found that this was not an easy thing to do, and for the time being, she could not transfer the soul fixed on the sword to other objects, so she had to take the two things together, and then find another way in the future. But now that Beth has snatched away the sacred pendant that serves as a spare container, it will be impossible to transcend Mika's soul.

"It's not a joke, Bess, that thing can't be lost!" Sophia's voice drowned out in the woods.

Joyka and Cassius looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile. With Sophia's current strength, they are not worried that she will be attacked by snakes, chickens, and beasts in the woods, in fact, the two of them also acquiesced to Bessy's following, anyway, although Beth often makes Sophia disgraced, as long as this little guy is there, the atmosphere of the team can also be much more lively, so that Sophia, who has just experienced the pain of losing her teacher, will not be depressed and lifeless.

What a luxury these short days of tranquility are for those who bear the fate of the world on their backs.

"......Uhh

With a terrible scream, the sleeping knight woke up from his nightmare.

"Thank goodness you're finally awake, master. ”

The one-armed squire, with a wet towel, came to the bed to wipe the cold sweat from the knight's forehead.

"Yikes!"

The knight roared, and he understood the squire's actions as an attack, reached out and grabbed the squire's hand holding the towel, and threw him out. The unconsciously ruthless force was enormous, and the attendant was thrown by him, and his heavy body smashed the wooden table, knocking over the water tray placed on the table, and the water in the tray splashed all over the attendant's body.

"Oh...... Calm down, host. ”

After the attendant shouted like this, Julian finally regained his senses, and when he looked at it, he realized who the person he had just sent him flying was. He was a little dazed, as if he had been in a different world, and after a while, he spoke: "Dante, me...... What's wrong with me?"

"Master, you have been in a coma for four days and four nights. Dante wiped the blood from his forehead with his hand and stood up from the floor littered with table debris.

Dante...... What the hell ...... I?" said Julian, who got out of bed, but suddenly it was dark in front of him, and a feeling of detachment from his whole body hit him, and he rolled out of bed.

"Ah, master, you haven't eaten for four days, you're hungry, I'll go and get some food in the kitchen. Dante pressed the wound on his head with a towel and pushed the door open and walked outside.

A moment later.

Julian had eaten the oatmeal and finally recovered some of his body and became much more conscious. He looked at the wound on Dante's forehead and said apologetically, "Dante, did I cause your injury?"

"I don't care. Master, you just had a nightmare. You've been having nightmares for the past few days and making horrible noises while sleeping. I'm afraid you won't be able to recover in the future. ”

"What are you talking about? Well, tell me one by one. First of all, where are we?"

"Our hostel in Alexandria. ”

"Hotel?"

"It's not the Alexander underground, it's the real Alexander. ”

With that, Dante stood up and pushed the window open, letting in the warm sunlight.

"What kind of underground Alexander, the real Alexander? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Master, don't you remember? Four days ago, we were trapped in the ancient city of Alexandria, which sank underground, and you and the Empress...... Well, you and the eldest lady suddenly fell unconscious, and we were all terrified. Luckily, we found an underground river along the weak current, and the water of the river was flowing, so we dived to the bottom of the river and went down the water until we finally found an outlet. Did you know that the outlet was in the course of the River Tefner. However, it is not surprising that the current Alexander was rebuilt on the site of ancient Alexandria. ”

The River Tefner, as Dante refers to it, is a river that crosses Alexandria, dividing the harbor city into north and south.

Underground, Empress, Miss, Unconscious...... It was only when the words flashed through Julian's mind that he vaguely remembered what he had done and what had happened, and yet how far away they were to him now, and most of the space in his mind was now filled with the sight of fear that had been in his mind......

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom......

Golden fireballs rained down from the sky, destroying the city beyond recognition, and countless people were buried in the flames, and the initiator of this qiē was a dozen golden dragons hovering in the sky.

"Here...... Could it be the Imperial Capital?Alexandria!" Ipeia looked at the half of the burning Rokar Empire flag on the street, and muttered to herself, "Why do the Golden Dragons want to destroy us? Aren't the Golden Dragons allies of the Empire?"

"Be careful!" Julian sprang over and rolled around on the ground with Ipeia in his arms, and two seconds later, where she had been standing, was engulfed in golden fireballs.

"Warriors of the Golden Dragon Clan, I am a descendant of the original dragon knight Alexander Drogen, please tell me, what have we done wrong to wipe out the Empire?"

Desperate, Ipeya lost her mind and shouted at the dragons circling in the sky.

However, the dragons turned a deaf ear to her, and her voice was dispensable like a mosquito flying by, completely ignored.

The city was completely bathed in flames, and the sky was lit red by the soaring flames. However, all of a sudden, the attack of the golden dragon group stopped, no, it should be said that their attack was forcibly stopped, and even the golden flames burning on the ground were extinguished in an instant. The golden dragons became agitated, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with the blocking of their attacks, and all rushed in one direction.

Julian and Ipeya looked over and saw another dragon appear in the sky in that direction, "other" because it was very different from the golden dragons that were destroying the city. It should be said that the appearance of this dragon is different from all the dragons recorded in the existing texts, and it belongs to a completely alien dragon race.

I saw that its body is smaller than the average dragon, but its body and limbs are relatively slender, its whole body is covered with purple scales, and there is a pair of dendritic horns similar to elk on the top of its head, and the most special thing is its wings, which are different from the fleshy membrane wings of bats similar to other dragons, its wings are membrane wings similar to butterflies, and they are larger than other dragons, so the ratio of wings to body is much larger than that of other dragons, and there are many symmetrical distributions and colorful spot patterns on the wings, which are quite good-looking.

Although it was far away, Julian and Ipeia both noticed that this strange dragon emitted a huge magic power that far surpassed all the golden dragons present, and around it, a layer of colorful mist was shrouded in a colorful mist, as brilliant as a seven-colored rainbow, in fact, it was not fog, but the scales scattered from its wings, and it was these scales that made the flames of the golden dragon disappear into invisibility
