Chapter 20: The Dragon Comes Again
From the stall to find a little Lori who bought a bunch of miscellaneous items that I don't know what they were used for, Zhang Lin and the others followed the wounded soldier and rushed to the direction of Longxiao Palace.
The guards patrolling near the Longxiao Palace surprisingly did not stop them, perhaps thinking that Zhang Lin and the others had rushed to report the news like the soldier in front.
As soon as she entered the Dragon Night Palace, a female elf with gray-black skin drew her weapon and rushed over, blocking the three who wanted to continue to follow the injured soldier in.
"Who are you?"
Little Lori and Kexia stared at each other, ready to draw their weapons at any moment, while Zhang Lin raised his hands to chest height, signaling that he was not threatening: "We are here from Ximu Town, and there is important news about Helgen Fortress that needs to be notified to the lord." ”
"I hope your important news is true, come with me, and besides, unload your weapons, I must ensure the safety of my lord."
Zhang Lin and Kexia unloaded their weapons and put them on the shelves next to the door, while Lori didn't look like a threat and wasn't asked for anything.
If it's a mage to carry out the assassination, there is no need for weapons at all.
Zhang Lin complained in his heart that the other party's defense was not perfect at all, and it was not until they just walked up the stairs that an old man in a magic robe performed a spell on them that he retracted what he had just said, because Xiao Lori and Kexia both said that their current mana was limited.
The lord of Xueman, Bargulf the Great, had already listened to the report of the wounded soldier, and he was in a bad mood knowing that the western outpost had been attacked by the dragon, and when he saw his guard Ireles coming with three strangers, he asked angrily, "Ireles, who are they?" ”
The black elf female guard repeated what Zhang Lin had just said, and the lord was a little impatient: "You have any important news, if you fool me with trivial things, don't blame me for driving you out of Snow City!" ”
Zhang Lin didn't say anything this time, but asked Kexia, who was relatively eloquent and charming, to go up, and told the lord about the words he had prepared on the way here.
"Oh my God, damn dragons, are my people under their threat at all times? Ufrik is not dead, then the war will still happen, what a fatal time! After listening to everything Kashia had to say, the lord, who had already received some incomplete news, quickly believed it.
At this time, the lord suddenly remembered the news reported by the soldiers before, and immediately issued an order to his closest female guard on the side: "Ireles, you go and gather men and horses immediately, the western outpost was attacked by a giant dragon early this morning, and our guards there have suffered serious losses, you must rush there immediately, if you can solve it, try to deal with any monster, if it doesn't work, just give up there." Also, arrange for a group of soldiers to be stationed in Ximu Town, I don't want any bad news from there. ”
After listening to the lord's order, knowing that he was going to face a legendary creature, the dark elf female guard did not have a trace of fear or hesitation at all, and turned around and headed to the barracks.
"Well, then, let's think you're adventurers, since you've survived the dragon attack of Helgen, you must have some knowledge of this monster, and if you can, I'd like to hire you to help Ireleth." The successive bad news made the wrinkles on Barguf's forehead deeper, and he had no choice but to turn to Zhang Lin and them.
Keshia is the power of the dragon Alduin who has witnessed the destruction of everything in Helgen, and her knowledge of the dragon's power is limited by this information, and she does not know that Alduin is the strongest existence among the dragons, so she is worried that adding the three of them will not help, and some want to refuse, but in the end she turns her eyes to Zhang Lin, hoping that he will make a decision.
And little Lori missed Helgen's Oduin debut, and now she hears that there is a dragon again, not to mention how excited she is, pulling Zhang Lin's clothes hard in the hope that her master can agree, for her, the dragon or something, not afraid!
The reactions of several people around him were all in sight, Zhang Lin pretended to smile mysteriously, leaned into Kexia's ear and said, "This will be a part of fate!" Its life will be a witness to your destiny. ”
I have to say that as soon as Zhang Lin's temperament is now open, Kexia was stunned when he heard it, and even the lord was stunned, if it wasn't for the wrong attire, he almost thought that he was a clergyman from somewhere.
In fact, Zhang Lin has been a little fond of the feeling since he pretended to be a magic stick in front of Kexia for the first time, in fact, it is just his older middle school second disease, and he always feels that it is very fun to tease Kexia like this.
Judging from Zhang Lin's performance, Barguf felt more and more that Zhang Lin's origin was problematic and that he was also very mysterious, after all, the face of an Oriental person was still very special in this Western-style world. However, since Zhang Lin and the others agreed to help, the lord's originally gloomy face has finally been relieved a little, thinking about it, these people should be able to play a role, this is what his perennial experience and intuition in a high place told him.
At this moment, the old man who had just cast a spell on Zhang Lin and them stepped forward, leaned forward slightly towards Lord Barguf's body to show respect, and then waved his hand to lift the mana restriction on Zhang Lin and the three of them, and then said: "Thank you for your willingness to help Xue Man in times of crisis, I am Lord Lord's chief archmage Fa Renjia, please forgive me for my previous vigilance against you." ”
Zhang Lin and the three of them also paid tribute to the old chief archmage, a person who can serve a lord until now is very valuable, and if he can become the chief archmage, then his attainments in the field of magic are also worthy of respect.
"My lord, then, let me go too, my research on dragons has reached a bottleneck now, and I hope to get further information."
Obviously, Farenga was also very interested in the dragon.
"I also need you to sit in Snow City, you can't run around at this critical moment, if you need anything, you should arrange for someone else to do it." Barguf decisively rejected Farenga's request, he didn't want the city's top fighter to leave.
"Alright then, I hope you three can make it back, I may have a little favor to help me with." Although rejected by the lord, Fa Renjia was not too disappointed, but turned his attention back to Zhang Lin and them.
Zhang Lin, who knew what Fa Renjia meant by the little favor in his mouth, felt that there was no need to be so troublesome, and took out the dragon stone from the cold tomb ghoul lord from the system backpack.
"Pharaja, do you need this?" Zhang Lin weighed the stone chip about the size of his own palm.
Fa Renjia, who has always been mature and steady, has to widen his eyes now: "This, is this a dragon stone?" The tone in his words was a little hesitant, after all, he only knew some descriptions of Dragon Stone, and he had not seen the real thing with his own eyes.
"Yes, we defeated the Ghoul Lord of the Coldfall Tomb, and that's where we got this thing."
"It turns out that you can even defeat the ghoul lord, so I believe that you can face the dragon, what can I do, just ask." Although I don't know why Zhang Lin knew that he needed the dragon stone for research, but now that the dragon stone was handed to him, Fa Renjia had no reason to refuse at all, and he was impatient to study the dragon stone after taking it.
"What needs the master to do is very simple, let's talk about it when we get back." Seeing that Farenjia was about to enter the state of a research madman, Zhang Lin decided not to ask for it for the time being.
On the other side, seeing Zhang Lin casually bring out the things that his chief archmage had been longing for for a long time, Barguf felt more and more that his intuition must be right.
"So, can you go? By this time, Ireles should have already deployed his soldiers. This time, the lord's tone was not as strong as before.
Zhang Lin didn't say anything like we can definitely handle it, but walked straight to the gate of the Dragon Night Palace with Kexia and Little Lori, and put the weapon placed there back into the wallet on his waist.
