The sound of rumbling water was loud.

A waterfall flows out from the mountain stream of the high mountains, and the torrent rushes down, occasionally hitting the convex stones of the mountain wall, and the water splashes in all directions. From a distance, it looked like a huge pillar made of white jade, which fell from the sky and fell into a wide lake below, splashing in all directions. Winter goes to spring, but the cold in the north is still there. Like this large lake, the water is boiling near the waterfall, but there is still a thin layer of ice in the distance.

At the edge of the Great Lake is a vast forest. It is the beginning of spring, and there are only two or three new greens on the giant trees, and it is far to the extent of verdant greenery, but it already makes people feel the vigorous vitality that is about to come out. As the winter snow melts, it won't be long before the gray and white images in this forest will be replaced by yellow and green, and everything is waking up.

Today's weather is sunny and cloudless. The sun poured down, reflecting the great lake in all its colors, and the surface of the lake, which was covered with thin ice, looked like a fine diamond from a distance, reflecting the brilliance of a dream. Suddenly, the surface of the lake cracked, and in a series of sharp ice-breaking sounds, someone poked his head out of the lake. He was a man, with a black beard and hair, and rough and majestic features. His eyes were calm, but resolute, and he knew that people like him would not easily shake their hearts.

He threw a fat fish onto the ice floe before he climbed onto the ice floe himself. A bronzed body was exposed to the sunlight as the lake splashed. He raised his hand in front of his forehead slightly, and this action led to the lines of his body full of masculinity and strength. Wearing only a black bottom. The man in the trousers exhaled hot air, then lifted the fat lake fish that had landed next to him and walked towards the shore.

Clothing, cloaks and armor were thrown haphazardly on the shore. When the man came to the shore, his body first swelled with bursts of light and flames, and after drying his whole body with water and air, he put on the close-fitting suit. Just as he was about to pierce the armor, a series of thunderous roars suddenly sounded in the forest in front of the lakeshore. Then I saw the trees in the distance falling back and forth for a while, many ancient trees falling left and right, and something was arrogant and coming in the direction of the lakeshore.

The man grinned, like a boy who had been given a novelty toy, his eyes full of anticipation.

He didn't have to wait long when a navy blue figure suddenly burst into his sight. This figure was so huge that the man was pitifully small compared to it. However, the weaker side laughed: "It turned out to be a wild elephant barbarian, I thought it was something funny." Go away, go away, don't mess with me, little one. ”

The "little one" in the man's mouth was furious, and there were thousands of strange beasts in this forest, most of which were wild elephants. The brute elephant is like an elephant and a cow, as big as a hill, short-tempered, and brute force is not trivial. However, the skin of the wild elephant is mostly dark brown, such as the skin in front of him is dark blue, the two gray and white tusks are bent like the hook moon, and the guy who puts a ball of cyan source fire on his head is not an idle elephant, but an elephant king.

The king of the barbarian elephants, also known as the barbarian lord. The barbarian lord has an unusually strong concept of territory, and it is probably classified as a lord by this large lake and the nearby mountains and forests, so his reaction to the strange man in front of him is extremely strong. What's more, there are a lot of lake fish at this man's feet, and the elephant king's eyes are even red. With a roar, he charged at the man.

As soon as the beast moved, the earth shook suddenly.

The man shook his head and muttered, "Ask for your own hardship." Then he lowered his center of gravity, reached forward with both hands, and put on a posture to wrestle with the Elephant King!

The elephant king rushed closer, and the pair of crescent-like tusks arched fiercely towards the man.

But the man pressed his hands forward and propped himself up on the elephant's head.

A man and an elephant collided like this.

The big lakes, mountains and forests, and even this land jumped violently, startling a large number of forest birds. There was also a circle of atmospheric ripples swinging out from the shore of the lake behind the man, sweeping the entire lake in an instant. As the ice floes crackled and crackled on the surface of the water, the ice shattered and splashed, and the lake fish continued to jump out of the water, bringing up countless droplets. There was a tumult at the feet of the man and the elephant, and the fire above the elephant king's head was so bright that he could not take a step further.

The man smiled, and suddenly a head hammer slammed into the elephant king's head. The elephant king shook violently, and his huge body actually took a few steps backwards, and then he fell to the ground with a groan. The man touched his forehead and said with a smile: "You guy's head is really hard." ”

Erin kept rubbing his hands, which caused sparks to spark from the silver iron gloves he wore on his hands. He walked back and forth, his slightly bulky silver armor making him a little heavier than usual, leaving deep footprints in the soft dirt of the forest, the brown dirt staining the edges of his silver boots. In normal times, Erin would take it off and wipe it clean with heartache, after all, this new armor set had only just been received for a month.

The armor also hung a bright red cloak from the shoulder, with a lion and a sword on it.

The only person in the empire who can wear such a cloak has such an honor, the Emperor's personal guard, the "King's Sword". Before Erin was thirty, he became the captain of the pro-guard team, which made his former comrades quite envious. But now Erin doesn't have the fluttering mood he had when he first became the squad leader, and he was anxious at the moment.

It's all because of the man who just arrived in the tent not long ago.

It wasn't an ordinary person, it was the former Prime Minister Nebot. The stage of the Prime Minister is in the imperial capital, above the imperial court. When you come to this royal hunting ground north of the imperial capital, you are naturally not visiting the mountains and rivers, but to meet Targario the Great.

The Emperor had been in the hunting grounds for three days.

When the Prime Minister came to see him at this time, he naturally had something important to do. Although the man did not have the slightest expression of impatience, the pressure on Erin's heart increased as time passed. What made him helpless was that when the Emperor went to Nalan Cui Lake in the morning, there was an order not to disturb anyone, which made Erin dare not let people inform the Emperor, so he could only do it in a hurry by the king's tent.

When the Prime Minister saw that the fourth cup of water had already been changed in his hand, the ground shook slightly. Nowhere was it more obvious than the cup in Nebot's hand, the water in which it was rippling in circles. So he put down the cup and walked out of the king's tent with his hands behind him. Erin had to be careful to accompany him, the vibration of the ground obviously came from the direction of Nalancui Lake, Erin frowned and whispered: "Lord Nebot, do you want to send someone to check?" ”

"It shouldn't matter, this kind of vibration is probably tossed by our majesty."

Erin recalled the word "toss" in the prime minister's mouth, and only felt that it meant far-reaching. It wasn't long before the earth shook again, and the frequency was getting higher and higher, as if something terrifying was coming in the direction of the camp, and Erin could already feel the invisible coercion. The captain raised his hand and gestured, and the twelve King's Sword guards immediately lined up in front of the camp. Erin himself walked in front of Nebot, although this prime minister is a very human minister, but he is an ordinary person, Erin naturally wants to protect him very much.

Erin narrowed his eyes, guessing what was coming. Suddenly there was a little blue light in the woodland opposite the camp, and a giant beast came out of the forest. Looking at the ivory tusks as big as the crescent moon, and the blue source fire that was constantly emitting from the top of the giant beast's head, Erin lost his voice and said, "It's the Barbarian Elephant King!" Alert! Alert! ”

As soon as I finished shouting, I patted someone from behind. Erin looked back at the Prime Minister in bewilderment, who pointed towards the Barbarian Elephant King, "Look who is up there?" ”

Erin looked up and saw a man sitting on the king of the barbarian elephants, waving his hand at the camp. Erin showed a strange expression: "How is Your Majesty ......?"

Targario jumped off the elephant king's head, reached out and patted the big guy's elephant leg and said, "Go ahead, you have to bring your eyes to someone to fight in the future." The Emperor laughed dryly, and the Elephant King twisted his body in a circle, snorted, and his thick hind legs deliberately stirred up a cloud of mud and sand, and poured Targario on his body. The Emperor shook his head and smiled, but he didn't care, he patted his hand casually and walked to the camp.

Erin hurriedly asked someone to fetch clean clothes, and Targario shook his head and said: "No need, when I used to fight with foreign races, I tried not to take a bath for half a month, and that is called dirty." Then he patted Nebot's arm and said, "Of course, if our Prime Minister dislikes it, then I'll immediately go and change into a clean set of clothes." ”

Nebot closed his eyes, out of sight.

Targario laughed and walked towards the king's tent, saying, "Erin, prepare breakfast for me." Originally, I caught a lot of plump lake fish, but I ate them all by the greedy big guy. Oh, I said Nebot. Don't enjoy happiness in your prime minister's mansion, what are you doing in the hunting ground? If you want to learn to hunt too, then I can teach you. ”

"Forget it, Your Majesty, I can't learn your ability to overwhelm the Barbarian Elephant King. Besides, if I have this ability, it will be my turn to get that old guy from Rodek to occupy the position of Imperial Marshal for many years? ”

In the king's tent, the King's Hand guards carried out the long tables and chairs. Targario and Nebot each took their seats, and it wasn't long before a plate of medium-rare fried steak was delivered to the Emperor. A circle of lemon slices on the plate still can't cover the fishy smell of the half-cooked steak. Targario didn't care, he cut off a slice with a knife and chewed it in his mouth until the blood juice overflowed.

Nebot frowned.

The Emperor immediately swallowed the beef, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say." I've been used to drinking blood all these years, and the people below say that I look like a barbarian, and that's nothing, isn't a barbarian good? ”

Nebot let out a "hmm" and said tepidly: "Over there in the south, there is news from the wild highlands. ”

"Oh, what's up?" Nebot raised his voice again, and the chef who was baking after the reconciliation said: "Give us a copy of the Prime Minister, remember to cook it all, our Lord Nebot can see that there is no blood." ”

Nebot smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”

And he said, "Not only did I find something, but it was not small." There is such a big ......," the prime minister gestured with his hand.

Targario's eyes lit up: "Oh, it's a ruin?" ”

"It's a ruin! The kind of Blood King's Graveyard! ”
