Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dragon of Autumn (For Momo Mobu Readers)

After the dragon left the elven palace, it followed the endless [Forest River] in front of the palace gate towards Changhu Town.

This can be said to be a clearer reference than the [Ancient Road], because the dragon flew into the sky, and there was no way to see the road under the canopy.

Flying all the way, the dwarves sang a happy song, and from time to time made some dwarven jokes.

With Wang Yonghao here, all diet and daily life are not a problem, even if the problem of defecation needs to be considered, Wang Yonghao has also developed a bathroom independent of the innermost part of the car.

For these dwarves, who had always had to think about beasts and enemy attacks, and had to rely entirely on riding or walking, everything was now the best arrangement.

When the dragon finally flew out of the woods, the dwarves, who were drinking ale, stopped their feast and looked out the window from their tables, looking at the different scenery.

"Look, you're finally out of the Dark Forest!"

"Yes, look ahead of you is a big smoky lake!"

The dwarves were excitedly discussing one sentence at a time, but in fact they were excited not only by the end of the cookie-cutter wooded landscape that they were tired of seeing.

What is even more exciting is that they finally see their homeland clearly - Lonely Mountain!

The dwarves were inexplicably excited, and chirped, "Look, there's a town there!" ”

"Look there's a dock here!"

"Look at a human on this cliff!"

"Look at him shooting!"

As soon as Wang Yonghao heard the dwarf say this, he listened: "Whoosh~boom~mmmmmm There was a trill, and something stuck in the crack of the [Deadwood Dragon]'s wooden joint.

However, by perceiving that the dragon had not suffered any real damage at all, Wang Yonghao did not really say that he had to see what it was.

The dragon continued to fly forward, ignoring the man who had just shot the arrow......

Wang Yonghao is so calm.

But the archery Bard is not calm!

Bud was ready, his blood boiling, and his mind was extremely calm, but his composure was shattered when he saw the dragon grow clearer and clearer from afar.

Because even if he didn't have such good eyesight, he could clearly feel that the dragon in front of him was definitely not what Smaug, the flame dragon that he had never seen but heard from his ancestors, should be.

As long as you are a resident of Changhu Town, anyone who looks at it can clearly tell that this dragon is definitely not Smaug.

At the most basic point, Smaug is a red-colored fire dragon, and this wilted yellow-brown dragon that resembles a chicken poop and ginseng fart with a strain, must not be Smaug!

But Bard, who had excellent eyes, still saw that the dragon flying straight ahead was directly above the heart, and there was actually a gap in the scales that were warped.

Although the entire dragon scale was not missing, a gap was enough for him to play.

So Bard, who was in full condition, shot a crucial arrow towards that gap!

The huge arrow that shone with black light slid through the sky at great speed, shooting accurately into the gap between the dragon's scales, piercing more than a meter deep.

Bud watched expectantly, waiting for the dragon to die because of a puncture in the heart, waiting for the dragon to no longer fly smoothly and fall weightlessly into the long lake.

And yet nothing happened......

The dragon was still flying steadily in the air, as if it didn't hurt his attack, and it didn't even look at him.

The dragon flew away, taking with the [Black Arrow] that he had thought could kill with one hit.

Bud is stupid, the creed of his life has collapsed!

For a moment, I thought of the completely destroyed town of Long Lake, and the residents who wailed in despair in the flames blamed the Bard family for not being able to protect them again.

Bard's second instinct was whether his children would be harmed by the dragons.

Thinking of this, Bud packed up his three views that were shattered by panic and worldview, quickly rushed off the dock, jumped on his boat, and chased in the direction of Changhu Town.

He still has a responsibility, he still needs to save, and he repeats a sentence in his heart: "I am Bud, and I have a responsibility to save the inhabitants and defend against the dragons, so that the casualties can be minimized!" ”

"I'm Bud, and it's my responsibility to save the inhabitants and fend off the dragons so that casualties can be minimized!"

The brainwashing words accompanied him as he steered the boat in the turbulent river and quickly headed towards the town of Long Lake.

However, even this sentence of being educated by his parents since he was a child could not resist the fact that he could not catch up with this dragon at all.

The inhabitants of Long Lake Town will not be saved by him because he keeps repeating this sentence like a nervous person, and Long Lake Town is finished!

Bard couldn't help but burst into tears, and his already weather-beaten face was even more gloomy, his already messy beard was even more depressed, and his distorted face was even more visible to the traces of time.

Bard was hurrying at the highest level of his profession, and he didn't admit that he was a natural boatman compared to the other ones who were born with their marksmanship and the shooting skills they had practiced every month.

He's his boat so well!

You can clearly feel every trace of water ripple change in the river immersed in the hull of the boat, and use the maximum utilization rate to drive the boat to move forward faster.

But no matter how fast you are, you can't chase the dragon flying smoothly in the sky in this undulating river, and it won't be long before Lake Town arrives.

And the dragon in the sky actually just slid over Changhu Town, and then turned in the direction of the lonely mountain, without the slightest stop, without the slightest attack and destruction.

It's a striking contrast to the desperate screams of the townspeople of Long Lake itself.

The town was filled with shouts of despair, but the dragon in the sky was unmoved, and without even turning its head to look at it, it just waved its wings and flew away steadily......

In this way, the dragon turned around and went to the direction of the lonely mountain as if it was really passing by, and the townspeople who were freed from the dragon's power felt a sense of aftermath in their hearts.

A kind of psyche that can be described simply as Stockholm syndrome appeared in the minds of all the inhabitants, and they began to wonder what the dragon was doing in the lonely mountain.

Why did this dragon attack the elves?

Is it to help them punish the insatiable mayor? So attacking the source of the mayor's evil?

Why did he go to Lonely Mountain?

Is it to drive away the abominable dragon?

In short, the behavior of this group of townspeople who are now starting to steal the cave for Wang Yonghao is far-fetched to say what they think is a reasonable explanation.

Just because this [Deadwood Dragon] didn't hurt them at all.

There must be people who see that there is a [black arrow] stuck in the front heart of the Grain Dragon, and especially think that this dragon is really very benevolent, even if it is unjustly attacked, it can do it without harming them.

At that moment, the tearful Bard rode the boat into the open locks and into the town as fast as he could in his life.

However, there was not a trace of destruction in the town, and his eyes were a little stunned, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

And the residents who looked at him actually had malice in their eyes.

It's not clear, what happened to cause this situation, isn't he the most beloved hero of the people?
