Chapter 14: The Reins
"Seen Katrana Presto?"
They were already far away from Shining Gold, but Ethan was not surprised that Loki had done something before, and he knew what had happened when he saw his face suddenly so ugly.
"Yes. Loki didn't bother to lie about such things, he knew that the fluctuations he had in the moment his magic was broken could not be hidden from Ethan, and this obvious fact of lying would make him appear uncharacteristic.
"What was my judgment before?"
"Your judgment of this group of reptiles is very accurate, and I am looking forward to what kind of means you will use against this black dragon after you recover Varian-Wryon?"
Loki secretly made trouble, which not only Ethan did not dare to surprise, but even Logan was not surprised. As they spend more and more time together, Logan and Serena are both long-lived existences, and this long time is enough for them to understand a person's character.
Coupled with Ethan's popular science, they all know that this Asgardian Protoss is not an honest person, even if Ethan has made it clear, he will stick to his ideas and try to contact Katrana Presto.
As for the methods used, it is nothing more than illusions, mirrors, teleportations and other spells, these are what Loki is best at, just like Ethan can now throw Loki into the mirror space without him noticing, Loki can also cast these spells without Ethan noticing.
These spells are also very suitable for infiltration, and it is not difficult for Loki to meet Katrana, the only obstacle is Katrana's personal will.
It was just a few words of conversation that made everyone realize that Rocky's meeting with Katrana Presto was not very pleasant, if not very bad.
"I was reluctant to touch this female dragon before, and another reason was that I needed some time to prepare. ”
"What preparation?"
"It's a dragon, and although Katrana looks like a weak human female, her body is a large, powerful, magic-wielding black dragon, and it's not easy to defeat or capture. ”
"Wait. ”
Logan, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "You just said capture, you don't want to ......" He remembered what Ethan said at the beginning, "consider finding a mount", combined with what he had just heard, he couldn't help but think about it.
"Of course, don't you think it's cool to catch a black dragon as a mount?"
Loki, who was originally stinky, suddenly smiled, as if what he had just experienced was nothing at all: "I like this idea of yours, I think the two of us are getting more and more in tune, maybe we can become real friends." ”
What an interesting idea to have that arrogant black dragon as a mount.
Regardless of whether Loki's words were sincere, or simply wanted to continue to encourage Ethan to strengthen this belief, it was undeniable that for many people, catching a dragon as a mount is a very tempting thing, even Logan was a little tempted, but he knew that it was unrealistic for him.
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"
"Yes. Ethan knew what Logan was worried about: "I'm going to make something so I can control her, and I don't want to be bitten by my own mount." ”
The so-called reins of Onexia, of course, do not exist in this world, Ethan can only make one by himself, considering that he wants to control the direct children of the guardian dragon, this thing is not easy to make, and it needs the help of Loki to make it really possible.
This is also the reason why he knows that Loki will do things, and will let him do it at will: let Loki have a good look at these black dragons, it is best to be angered by these black dragons, so that he will stand firmly on his side, and do his best to help himself, so that he can pick up the trampled face again.
Ethan also did not deny that he wanted to take the opportunity to learn something from Loki, Asgard's magical knowledge he only knew a little bit about the surface, and Loki was the one who held the core knowledge.
Seriously offended, Loki wasn't unaware of Ethan's purpose, but he didn't care about it, and he wanted to see Onexia lying on the ground and begging for forgiveness one day sooner.
If this scene can become a reality, what is it to teach Ethan a little magic knowledge?
So along the way, in addition to chatting and chatting, Ethan has a new task, that is, to keep learning and absorbing Asgard's magical knowledge, and at the same time discuss with Loki how to make a prop that is enough to control a powerful black dragon.
There was something to do, so Ethan unconsciously ignored the passage of time, and by the time he came back to his senses a little, everyone had already arrived in the Red Ridge Mountain area, and not long ago, the largest lake in this area, that is, the water stop lake.
"There is a bridge on the lake, and after the bridge is the lakeside town. ”
Standing on a nearby hillside, the shadow of Lakeside Town on the other side of the lake could already be seen, but Ethan had no intention of stopping, and even asked everyone to skip Lakeside Town after crossing the bridge directly and continue to the north.
"Aren't we going into town to rest?"
"No, Loki has already met with Catlana, and it's hard to know if the countess will send someone after us, and we can avoid trouble by not entering the town. ”
Entering the town will reveal their current whereabouts, and they may even be ambushed by Stormwind's assassination forces.
"It doesn't matter if we don't rest anyway, it's okay to just rush overnight. ”
Only Laura had the worst physical strength present, but it was far beyond ordinary people, and it didn't affect her overnight at all, not to mention that everyone also carried a lot of modern equipment, and there was no problem with lighting.
Coupled with the multi-functional glasses provided by Tony Stark, no creature can easily get close to this group of people, even in the treacherous Red Ridge Mountain.
Not only orcs and gnolls, but also an experienced assassin who is very good at hiding his tracks.
Under normal circumstances, this assassin can hide his body very perfectly, and it is difficult for the other party to detect his existence even when the other party is two meters away from him, but unfortunately all this is in vain, on Ethan's lens, he is as conspicuous as a campfire in the night, and when he realized that something was wrong, he had been thrown into mirror space by Ethan, and he couldn't even escape.
"It's right not to go into Lakeside Town, these guys are pretty fast. ”
Everyone sat around the campfire and rested briefly, next to the campfire was tonight's dinner, and they found this guy while enjoying dinner.
"What to do with him?"
Logan looked at the assassin who was sitting there quietly, quietly observing himself and others, and already had a basic judgment about this person in his heart.
The classic rich and calm veteran is still looking for a chance to get out, and at the same time is using this opportunity to observe the situation of himself and others, and wants to collect more information.
"Whatever, I don't care about this kind of small role. ”
Ethan is really too lazy to take care of such a small role, and Onexia may know some of Loki's strengths, but the arrogance of being a black dragon makes it difficult for her to really value Loki.
At the same time, the countess's orders will also go through some 'twists', so although Stormwind has sent experienced assassins, it is not important to them in essence, unless MI7 starts to pay attention to a few of them.
If it's those guys, Ethan may have a headache but doesn't care, and the most feared thing about MI7 is that it's hiding in the dark, so you don't know when these guys will suddenly jump out and bite you.
But this is not a problem for Ethan, his partners are the ones around him, and they are not so easy to impersonate. Unable to pretend to be one of them, trying to get close to them is the only way to avoid the various detection devices made by Tony Stark.
Avoiding this kind of assassination, MI7 actually has not many means, and their strengths have always been intelligence gathering and stealth assassinations, if you fight head-on......
"Did you kill it?"
"Kill it. ”
Surely you can't put it back and turn around and get yourself in more trouble? Ethan wasn't that stupid. What's the difference between putting it here and letting it go? Take it with you? That's even more impossible.
And if he's not mistaken, MI7 recruits aren't necessarily all good things, and at the same time, he doesn't think very much of the intelligence agency itself - it's so, the Stormwind Kingdom is about to fall into a mess, and he doesn't see anything serious done, and he is always on the edge of important issues.
What's more, Ethan is not from the Stormwind Kingdom, there is no need to feel sorry for the power of the Stormwind Kingdom being misappropriated and lost at will, from his standpoint, this is Katlana's minions, and if he dares to reach out, he should be chopped to death.
"Who's coming?"
Ethan looked at Loki.
"Why me?"
"That scepter of yours is perfect for destroying corpses. ”
This wasn't meant to amuse Loki, since the core of the scepter changed, he lost that ability to manipulate people's minds, but if he was pointed at by this scepter, the powerful and domineering frost power could easily turn an object into a fragile ice sculpture, and then smash it a little harder, and it would turn into ice chips.
At the current temperature, the ice water would soon disappear and nothing would be left, and Ethan would certainly not choose any more troublesome way to choose such a convenient option.
After dealing with such a small episode, the group continued on their way, and they continued north, finally reaching the Burning Plains, which was no longer under the control of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Once here, it's not far from where Windsol is being held.
