Chapter 57: The Blue Dragon

Fern couldn't feel his body anymore, and slowly sank into the water, along with Jamina who was hugging him. The turquoise waters of the lake poured in from all directions, enveloping the two of them so tightly that Fern couldn't even feel the water pouring into his mouth and nose.

Jasmine closed her eyes tightly, leaned on the mercenary's shoulder, and held her last breath hard, she knew that the last moment of her life was coming, but to her surprise, at this moment, she was no longer afraid, and only deep regret remained in her mind.

The two of them sank deeper and deeper, and Molina's breath had reached its limit, and she finally couldn't hold back and opened her mouth to breathe air, but the lake instantly filled her nose and mouth, and the hand holding Fern gradually let go, and her consciousness gradually blurred. In a trance, she felt as if her feet had touched the bottom of the lake, and the idea that something was wrong flashed through her mind, and at the last moment, when she was about to lose consciousness, she saw the rough blue skin.

A huge force came from the soles of their feet, supporting the two of them to rise to the surface of the lake at a very fast speed, and the chaotic sound of water suddenly disappeared, followed by fresh air and suddenly clear vision. After a violent cough, Morena struggled to open her eyes and found herself lying on a rough patch of skin, with the sound of wings waving in the air, and then, with the sound of frost popping ahead, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the source of the sound, a scene she would never forget. A large blue dragon head was raised high, with thick brown thorns erecting on the top of its head, and the soft skin on its neck continued to rise and fall as the dragon's beak continued to spew out white frost.

"This is, Blue Dragon......" Morena muttered to herself, trying to crawl forward a little more to see the creature she hadn't dared to encounter in her dreams, but her waking consciousness reminded her of her companions. "Fern!" the mercenary lay beside her, his flushed face and hands still fixed on the look and posture he had when he sank into the water. Jasmina nervously stretched out her hand to shake him, but as soon as she touched his body, the hard touch made the mage quickly retract her hand in fear. "Don't ...... Don't ...... Please, Seven, don't ......" Jaorena's right hand trembled and put it under Fern's nose, and the seconds seemed like centuries long, and a faint breath brushed the mage's fingers.

Morena went limp, sat on the dragon's back, and let out a long exhale. "Ferne, you guy, you owe me a favor. With that, the archmage straightened up and helped Fern to his feet so that he sat right in front of him, and then Morena reached out and grabbed the mercenary's cheeks at the same time, closing her eyes and reciting the incantation.

Several of the demon's ice arrows slammed into the blue dragon's body, but they did not cause any damage to him, but under the blue dragon's non-stop attack, the dark tide was frozen in place, and from a distance, dozens of frozen coffins stood by the lake, like a group of ice sculptures. The blue dragon sensed that the mage on his back was directing some kind of spell, and he flew towards the lake as smoothly as he could, without affecting the mage's spell casting, and his huge body glided in the air, only to reach the other side of the lake in a moment.

The blue dragon waited until Morena stopped casting the spell before turning his head to look at the two people sitting on his back, and a majestic voice came slowly. "Human, if you can, please put him on the ground, we need to talk. ”

Morena touched Fern's face, and the cheeks that had been stiff a moment ago had now regained their elasticity, and although they were still red, it was a hopeful blood color unlike the frozen red. The archmage nodded slightly to the blue dragon, and with a flying spell, she transferred herself and Fern from the dragon's back to the ground, and after gently placing Fern on a pile of fallen leaves, she bowed gracefully to the blue dragon. "Dear Guardian, thank you for your help in saving us from death, I didn't expect to see the surviving Guardian with my own eyes. ”

The blue dragon shook its body, and some ice crystals fell to the ground. "I've been asleep here for a long time, and it's rare to see such a big movement as today, tell me, mage, how did you provoke those dark tides?"

Jasmine's hands were clasped together and pressed against her abdomen, and even though she was soaking wet, even her wet hair was sticking to her cheeks, she still stood in a dignified posture like a great sage. "Dear Guardian, we were looking for a treasure that could contain the Dark Tide, so they ambushed here, and when we arrived, we were attacked by them. ”

"A treasure to contain the dark tide?" the blue dragon paused, then sat down on the ground. "Why are you looking for it?"

"The Dark Lord is ready to move, the seal that trapped him is already crumbling, the Dark Tide is raging in Wallis, there have been several wars on the northern border, one of the border states has been destroyed, and Artuna has barely resisted the attack of the Dark Tide with the help of his neighbors, but their casualties are too heavy to withstand a second time. Jarena looked at the blue dragon calmly, and the excitement of meeting the Wallis Guardian didn't make her mess up. "The Twilight cult has reappeared in Wallis, and the reappearing Elemental Envoy has also been captured by them to the far south, with all signs that night is coming. Dear Guardians, we need all the help we can to increase our odds. ”

The blue dragon let out a snort, blowing away the fallen leaves, some covering Fern's face and body, and Morena hurriedly waved her left hand at Fern, blowing away the fallen leaves on the mercenary's body. The blue dragon watched the mage's movements, and his huge eyes narrowed. "Your mana seems to be very strong, you are not an ordinary mage, and it is not an ordinary mage to be able to save a person who was injured by ice archery in such a short period of time. ”

"I am an archmage, and Manfred, one of the five great sages of Wallis, is my mentor. Jamina bowed slightly. "My name is Jasmine, Honorable Guardian. ”

The blue dragon's voice was even calmer than before. "Hello, young archmage, my name is Marogos, if you need it, I see the shadow of the Great Sage in you, and in time you will surpass your mentor, but before that, let's talk about the holy artifact you are seeking. The blue dragon stood up and turned halfway around, trying to restrain his tail so as not to injure the two humans by mistake. "Come with me, I have something for you to see, the mercenary I'll transfer him to where we're going next, you don't have to worry. ”

Despite what the blue dragon said, Morena looked at Fern worriedly, until the mercenary's body disappeared from sight, and she knew that Marogos had safely transferred him, and then followed him deeper into the woods. Along the way, the scenery on both sides is constantly changing, and the trees and flowers take on different forms, and even the colors are constantly changing. As she twisted her soaked hair and the corners of her skirt, she surveyed the strange sight around her. "It's ...... Twist the channel?"

"That's right, by twisting the passage, we can reach another dimension, or rather, another plane. Marogos led the way in front of her, her huge body walking with great ease, and it was only the huge footprints on the ground that made Morena realize that he was a behemoth.

"So store some extremely valuable items there, and unless you can find someone who has the ability to connect the two planes, those items will never be discovered?" asked Morena tentatively.

Marogos turned his long neck, his scaly face expressionless. "You're so clever, archmage, you've already guessed my purpose, but...... I'm going to give you some advice that will be very useful for someone as smart as you. ”

Morena looked at the blue dragon in bewilderment, she knew that for these great creatures who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, human beings were really insignificant. "I will listen, Guardian, and take it to heart. ”

Marogos seemed to be smiling, but he didn't, and his neck turned back. "Very well, Archmage, we're almost there. ”

Without warning, the strangely shaped plants on both sides suddenly disappeared, replaced by a silent black, and countless brilliant beams of light bent and flew in all directions. Jasmina looked around, not only above her head and around her, but also under her feet, which were as black as she seemed to float in the air, but she could feel that her feet were not dangling. Beams of light of various colors exude Ambilight, swirling, fluttering, moving against a black background. "Here it is...... Where?"

Malogos stopped ahead and turned. "This is the Void, a plane that doesn't exist in a sense, but is really reachable. ”
