Chapter Forty-Six: The Villages Covered
"What's going on?" Ute had just poked his head out, and then shrank back, as if he had seen something.
This kind of horse in Dragon Valley is very spiritual, and usually, even if there is a problem with the road, they will bypass it by themselves to find a safe and close road, and the dragon only needs to sit on it, say the address, and wait quietly.
"What's going on?" this time it was Ke Zhou's turn to ask.
Ute looked at Ke Zhou, as if there was something unspeakable...... But in this situation, he seems to have to give an answer. "There's a hill blocking the road ahead......," Ute regretted as soon as he said it, this kind of thing was obviously not a reason for this particular horse to stop, if it was for this reason, it was likely to arouse Ke Zhou's suspicions.
And that's exactly what happened.
However, Ke Zhou didn't poke his head out, he just leaned lazily on the seat, holding Beibei in his arms, pretending not to care. The other person will have such a reaction, indicating that there is something outside, at least something that the other person does not want him to see or that he knows.
"If you hadn't passed through here, I wouldn't have noticed it. ”
The voice came from Ke Zhou's head, and this voice Ke Zhou couldn't be more familiar - it was obviously the spirit bird Bai Yu. Just like just now, she gave Ke Zhou the information she knew for the first time, and she seemed to be closely monitoring Ke Zhou's surroundings. At Ute's urging, the carriage moved again, but it was clear from the window that it had chosen to take a detour.
"This mountain, it feels a bit of a problem, this mountain is like suddenly appearing on the road, and the contact between the foot of the mountain and the ground is extremely uneven. And...... It seems like I can feel something inside the mountain. Let me feel it, and I'll tell you later, and if you get my words, just twist your body a little. ”
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Ke Zhou gently adjusted the posture of his body, closed his eyes, and pretended that he was not interested in this matter at all. It seems that it is also for this reason that Ute and Beibei breathe a sigh of relief, Beibei, who had just been slightly tense, stretched out on Ke Zhou's body again, and Ute finally continued to change back to his previous funny appearance.
This is a very important clue, especially when Ke Zhou inadvertently opened his eyes and saw Ute's movements and felt the change in the situation in Beibei, he came to this conclusion.
"In this mountain...... It seems to cover a village......"
Bai Yu's voice sounded, but Ke Zhou was a little incomprehensible. Similarly, he couldn't ask questions, so he could only interpret what Bai Yu wanted to express as much as possible.
"Yamanaka...... There are many buildings, but they have all been filled with mountains, including the humans here. The earth, wood, and stones on the mountain, as if they appeared out of thin air, filled their bodies with nothing left...... Can you understand? If you can, turn your head and look out the window, and if you can't, touch the head of the dragon next to you. ”
Ke Zhou tried his best to understand, in fact, he had roughly understood what the situation was, but he still wanted to know a little more, so he touched Beibei's head. After she felt it, she rubbed Ke Zhou's hand very obediently. And this scene made Ute, who was sitting opposite, gradually feel uncomfortable - of course, he had felt discomfort since he got in the car, but now this emotion has been amplified a lot.
It jumped out of the carriage as it sped away, and then seemed to jump onto another carriage?
"That is, this mountain appeared in this place out of thin air, completely covering this village, and wherever there is a gap, it is filled with mountains and rocks, including the inside of the human body, such as intestines, stomachs, etc...... In a word...... What is that dragon doing?"
Bai Yu was halfway through speaking, and suddenly the conversation changed, as if he saw Ute's voice and shouted. Immediately after, there seemed to be a small commotion, and Bai Yu resumed communication.
"It went towards the village covered with mountains...... He...... Looks like you're tidying up the edge of the ground over there?"
The information provided by Bai Yu made Ke Zhou completely convinced of his judgment, and he also began to analyze this matter specifically. There must have been a sense for him to do this, especially in that covered village, such a thing can only be done by magic, and if so, would their purpose also have something to do with it.
Ke Zhou's brain began to spin rapidly, after all, analysis and thinking were also his strengths compared to fighting.
Judging from what has happened so far, the dragon clan is indeed preparing to make a move against the Northern Eagle Country...... Of course, this has nothing to do with him, for him, Beibei is justice, as long as Beibei is not harmed, they can do whatever they want. But once connected to the covered village, it seems that new problems arise.
Such a village is much smaller than the capital, and the use of this kind of magic in such a place can almost be assumed to be an experiment...... What to experiment with? The effects of magic, and the lethality?
Kindness?
Thinking of this, Ke Zhou couldn't help but touch Beibei's hair gently, he seemed to realize something.
"The effect of magic?"
He said to himself, and the harvest was indeed Beibei's slightly puzzled eyes.
“...... What are you talking about?" Beibei was already pillowed on Ke Zhou's lap at this time, and two cute little hands grabbed Ke Zhou's arm, resting while selling cuteness.
Realizing his mistake, Ke Zhou almost instantly generated three or four sets of statements in his mind, and said one of them without thinking.
"That's it, I'm wondering if if the range of the formation is scaled up, will it increase the effect of the magic of the circle. Of course, this was Ke Zhou's casual content, and he didn't know what he was asking, after all, this kind of question was indeed a bit weird.
"I remember...... If you can't increase the effect of the circle...... But for some regional circles, the range can be expanded. Beibei was like a kindergarten child struggling to answer questions, and his small arms were raised high in front of Ke Zhou.
"Huh?"
"That's what it means literally......"
After Beibei finished speaking, her body shrank into Ke Zhou's arms - she was still clingy. Of course, this kind of thing is also extremely happy for Ke Zhou, who doesn't want to be stuck to such a cute little girl?
However, Beibei's words caused Ke Zhou's thinking.
If we say, the regional circle ...... For example, if you can expand the scope of influence as long as you increase the size of the circle proportionally, will the village before be just a "microcosm" of the middle capital of the Northern Eagle Kingdom?
They want to directly cover and destroy the entire middle capital?But this is not right, according to Bai Yu, although all the gaps are filled, but they can't destroy the cursed formation at all, and when the time comes, the time to find the cursed formation in the entire mountain range will be enough for the dragon clan to be supported by the cursed mage.
They must have wanted to destroy the dragon formation that controlled the dragon knight and ensure that they could escape with their whole body...... In this case, it seems that there is only one possibility left. Thinking of this, Ke Zhou couldn't help but hold Beibei's little hand a little tightly, making Beibei look up at Ke Zhou a little strangely.
They want to move Ryugu over.
But in this case, there is another thing that doesn't make sense, how could they bring Ke Zhou, an outsider, to this test site, obviously they should avoid this place as much as possible anyway. And when Ute saw the mountains, his expression was too strange, as if he was doing it for himself.
Plus...... The biggest problem, today Ute just said that he had something to leave, and as a result, he quickly returned to Dragon Valley, and just filled the dragon that disappeared......
Could it be ...... Is this all something Ute wants to let himself know?
