I don't know how long I have been asleep, but in a trance, Walter slowly opened his eyes, looked at the surrounding environment, and found that he was already lying in the tent at this time.

The Flame Sword was quietly placed in front of his bed. Seeing the sword by his side, Walter felt a special sense of security in his heart.

In the tent, Arnold, who was guarding on the side, saw that Walter had woken up, so he hurriedly walked to Walter's side and asked with concern, "My lord, how are you feeling?"

When Walter saw that it was Arnold, he wanted to sit up and talk to him. But just as he was exerting himself, Walter felt a pinprick pain all over his body, and he couldn't help but make a few sounds*. Arnold hurriedly helped Walter sit up against the head of the bed.

After taking a few sips of the water handed by Arnold, Walter asked with concern, "How is my father?" ”

"Don't worry! The Duke has long since woken up. I'm resting in my tent now!" Arnold said.

Walter nodded reassuringly and said, "It seems that our operation this time is not very unsuccessful! at least we survived in front of the red dragon." ”

Arnold saw that Walter was feeling a little energetic, and hurried outside to bring a bowl of soup. Walter felt much more comfortable after drinking the soup. He struggled to stand up, and although he felt that his legs were a little weak, he still began to move his body.

"Your Excellency, don't move. You still have a lot of wounds on your body, and too much exercise will make the problem worse. Arnold said as he cleaned up the table.

Walter smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just going to see if I can still move, after all, we haven't defeated the Red Dragon yet." By the way, I'm going to see my father now. ”

Arnold hurriedly stepped forward to help Walter, but Walter waved his hand and signaled Arnold to leave him alone.

Although his body was still in pain, Walter walked a few steps and said to Arnold with a smile: "You see, I actually walk back and forth by myself, which is more helpful for recovery." ”

Arnold smiled kindly, he knew in his heart Walter's physical condition. But during the time they got along, he already knew Walter's temper well.

Seeing that Arnold did not stop him, Walter walked out of the tent with the curtain raised. At this time, it was already pitch black outside the camp. But the torches in the camp illuminated every corner of the camp.

Then, with some slow movements, Walter walked into the tent where his father, Frank, was. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Frank sitting upright on a chair, chatting with the two people sitting next to him.

One of these two men is Breel, and the other is Op Turner, Earl of Xita, who has just arrived, the lord of Giant Grove. Opple's fat body made it impossible to find a suitable seat for a while, so he sat on the bed where Frank was resting.

Seeing Walter come in, Brell and Op hurried over to Walter, and with a single effort, they lifted Walter and walked into the tent.

Seeing the two lords coming to carry him, Walter hurriedly explained, "I'm fine, I can go by myself." But before Walter could finish speaking, he was put in his seat.

Walter, who was sitting in his seat, hurriedly thanked and said, "Thank you two uncles for your help." I'm fine. ”

"Walter, I've heard that you were very brave in your battle with the Red Dragon. You also hurt the Red Dragon, and now all the people are singing the praises of your deeds!" said Op exclaimed.

Walter smiled shyly and said, "No, I rushed forward without thinking anything when I saw my father being attacked by the red dragon." I don't remember that time now. ”

"Look, this is what the future Lord of Modian will look like! Don't be afraid of danger!" Brell then complimented.

"I really still have a lot to work on! I hope I can get all the advice of my uncles. Walter modestly replied. In the middle of Walter's somewhat bewildered chat with the two lords, Walter glanced at his father, who was sitting next to him.

At this time, Frank looked at Walter with a smile on his face, his face did not look injured at all, and the whole person was in good spirits.

Seeing that his father looked good, Walter still asked with concern, "Father, how is your health?

"Well, there's nothing to do anymore. Actually, I wasn't hurt very badly. How's your recovery?, be careful the next time you use the Flame Sword. Frank asked Walter.

Seeing that the father and son were concerned, Brell and Op sat back in their respective places without interjecting and listened attentively.

Frank's words made Walter's heart a little dazed, and he didn't know what his father was talking about, so he replied, "Well, I don't have anything to do." ”

Seeing that Walter didn't understand what he meant, Frank continued, "This Flame Sword is a holy weapon, it has great power, but it is also extremely harmful. ”

Walter asked with some confusion: "Father, what kind of danger will it have?" Brell and Op, who were on the side, also showed surprised expressions when they heard these words.

Frank went on to explain: "Don't you feel that after using this sword, you want to rely on its strength more and more, and this sword will be more bloodthirsty, and in the end you will not be able to satisfy it and will use up all your own blood. ”

Hearing this, Walter couldn't help but glance at his left hand, and the scars on his hand were still clear. In his mind, Walter recalled the scene in the cave when he saw the flames of the Flame Sword dim and his own blood dripped down.

He suddenly realized that his attention was all on the fire, and he didn't notice that he had dripped a lot of blood on the sword's body at that time, which was the reason why he finally lost consciousness.

"Yes, I see. I try not to use the flames of the Flame Sword anymore. Walter gasped.

Seeing that Walter's face was a little bad, Frank comforted and said, "Don't rely too much on the power of this sword, in fact, with your strength, many situations can be solved by yourself." ”

With that, Frank stood up and walked to the map, pointed to a place, and said, "Everyone, come and see, this is the place where we fought the Red Dragon." Judging by the location where I fought it, the cave we found was most likely its lair. ”

"I heard that the cave was destroyed. Brell said. Walter also expressed his affirmation on the side.

"I know this, I think since this is the lair of the red dragon, then if we want to get rid of the red dragon, this is the best place for us to ambush. Frank said.

"But is that dragon really going to come back here? He's been wounded by Vought. Op said.

Frank nodded and said, "If it flies away, then we can concentrate on dealing with Ovan." If it's still around here, we'll get rid of it completely. ”

Hearing Franck's words, everyone present agreed. After the confrontation with the red dragon, everyone has a bottom in their hearts about this war. And what everyone needs most now is to solve the problem of the red dragon as soon as possible, so as to fight against Owan with all their might.

"Then we'll be here early tomorrow morning, how are you doing, can you go?" said Frank, looking at Walter.

Walter immediately stood up from his chair and said loudly, "No problem." I'm going to kill this red dragon. Also Sagron is peaceful. ”

Frank nodded in satisfaction and hurriedly urged Walter to go back to rest early. After saying goodbye to his father and the two lords, Walter returned to his tent.

Just as Walter walked into his tent to rest, Walter suddenly saw a person in the tent besides Arnold. The man had dirty, curly hair, and was sitting in a chair covered in mud eating.

"Winter, how did you get it. How dirtier than before. Didn't you go back to camp and look for water to wash your face?" said Walter with some annoyance.

Winter turned around and chewed something in his mouth and said, "Brother, I just came back too." Came to you on purpose. ”

"What did you say? You just came back. What does this mean?" Vott asked, somewhat confused, as he listened to Winter's words.

Winter took a sip of the soup and swallowed the food in his mouth. He dragged Walter to the bed and sat down, and then he talked about his experience in detail.

It turned out that at first Winter was preparing to return to the camp with the wounded. But as he walked, Winter thought that if he could see the red dragon with his own eyes this time, he would definitely be able to show off in front of Haiter for a long time. Then you can earn it by sneaking out this time.

The more Winter thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't go back, so he slipped away quietly down the forest while everyone was not looking. As the red dragon continued to fly in the sky, Winter finally saw the red dragon.

With his massive body and flames, Winter stood still for a long time. It occurred to him that Haight had told him many legends about dragons.

He involuntarily ran in the direction where the red dragon was. And by the time he reached the foot of the hill where the dragon's cave was located, the battle was all over.

Winter looked left and right, and there was nothing here but the various traces left by the battle. He also wanted to take a closer look at the red dragon, and he walked up a little unwillingly.

Suddenly, a pile of stones caught his attention. I thought to myself, "This pile of stones looks like they're freshly piled up." Could there be something buried in there? Haidt said that dragons would have dragon scales on them. I don't know if there's anything here. If I found it, Haight would be envious of me. ”

Thinking to himself, Winter walked to the pile of stones and looked at it, and climbed up the pile of stones to look at it. But nothing was found. Just when he felt a little tired and sat down on the pile of rocks to rest. Something caught his attention.

It was an ordinary torch, but it was buried at the top of the stone pile. Curious, Winter climbed up the pile of rocks and pulled the log out with all his might.

As the torches were pulled out, many of the stones began to slide down, and gradually a hole large enough to hold a man appeared in front of Winter.

Seeing that he had discovered a new hole, Winter smiled on his face. He poked his head out and looked inside, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Winter looked down and saw the torch in his hand. Having an idea at once, he quickly ran down the stone pile with his torch in hand, and rekindled it on a remnant of the flame not far away.

Seeing the light, Winter walked along the entrance of the cave. Winter walked cautiously inside, keeping his torch shining around him, hoping to find something related to the dragon to use as his trophy.

But all he saw was something that made him sick, and the cave was littered with animal corpses. Having found nothing else, Winter stopped, and he raised his torch to look into the depths of the cavern, which looked still deep.

This made Winter difficult to decide whether to leave or not. Seeing that the torch burning in his hand was still long, Winter muttered, "Forget it, let's go on." I'll be going back when it burns here. So saying, he drew a mark on the torch with an arrow.

But the deeper you go into the cave, the worse the smell becomes. Winter had no choice but to cover his nose with his hand and carefully watch the road ahead.

But Winter gradually noticed that the carcasses of the animals were becoming fewer and fewer, and not even a single bone was to be seen. Seeing that the torch in his hand was about to burn to his mark, Winter decided to get out of the cave.

Just as he was about to turn around, the light from the torch hit something, reflecting some light. This aroused Winter's curiosity, and he hurried up with a torch.

It turned out that there was something brown on the ground, and Winter reached for it curiously. The moment he picked it up, Winter's heart suddenly cooled, and it turned out that these brown things were soft and had a bad smell. If you look closely, it is the excrement of the red dragon.

Winter threw the thing away at once, looked at his hand in disgust, and hurriedly rubbed it on the ground next to him.

"I'm really unlucky, I was looking for something from the dragon. That's good, to let Haight know that he has to laugh off his big teeth. Winter said and rubbed the ground a few more times.

Suddenly, he felt that the ground he was touching was very soft, and it was completely different from the hardness of the road he had taken when he came. He hurriedly shone it with a torch, afraid that he would run into something dirty.

Just as the torch illuminated the place, Winter saw something reflective from the torch just now. The thing was buried in the earth, with only a little exposed.

Winter quickly stuck the torch on the ground, and with his hands he vigorously scraped the dirt on the ground, and soon dug the thing out.

When Winter wiped the dirt off the thing, he jumped up in excitement. It turned out that what he had just dug up was nothing else, it was the most important thing for the red dragon - the dragon egg.

Walter hesitated for a moment when he heard Winter say this, but saw Winter slowly take out the dragon egg from a package on the ground. The oval-shaped dragon egg showed a dark red shell in the firelight.

Seeing that the dragon egg was placed on the table by Winter, Walter couldn't say a word with his mouth open.
