Chapter 15: The Past
Having said all this, Shaw's attitude was still surprisingly calm, and Kai was slightly surprised, so he had to tell Shaw that Faye and Besture had gone to the grassland together a few days ago, and that he didn't know when he would return. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Despite his brother's eagerness, Xiao Yi decided to put the matter aside for the time being and report some of the key points of the treasure hunt to Kai, such as the encounter in the Strait of Calidos, the fierce battle in the Heart of the Sea, and some information about the fortress of Minera, and also informed Kai of the story of Longchen, who met along the way.
After hearing this, Kai carefully recalled the name of Longchen, and after clearing his thoughts, he replied: "Chun Longchen? This name is very familiar, but the name I know is Qinglong, this person has the same background as Maitreya and the others, and he visited Calradia as an Oriental missionary fifteen years ago, when Qinglong brought a boy of five or six years old, if my expectation is correct, this child is the Chun Longchen you mentioned. ”
"Qinglong!?We only met him yesterday!, and he also wounded Sige...... No wonder he knew about Long Chen, it seemed that they were brothers, and Long Chen died by accident under the knife of Sige...... This ......" When Kai said about the green dragon, Xiao Yi suddenly realized that the reason why the green dragon attacked Xige was not surprising.
"Eric talked to me about it during the day, and told me about the scarlet dragon in his body. Although they have not officially met, Qinglong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as far as I know, he appeared as a civilian in the national competition of the kingdom of Ryrdian a few years ago, defeated the best swordsman of Ryrdian in the first battle, and defeated the defending Kraladus several times in the final, but because of his civilian status, under the arbitration of King Haraus, the rewards of this game were not all distributed to the winners, and Qinglong also gave up his career in Calradia because of his loss of confidence in the king, and went into hiding. If you're going to help Eric's kid, you'll need to be prepared to fight the other side. ”
"Then what should I do?" Xiao Yi expressed his concern about the power of the green dragon from the bottom of his heart.
Kai smiled and proposed, "Go to Master Keradus, he has fought against the Blue Dragon, and should be able to provide most of the information you need!"
In the blink of an eye, another day later, after recovering from his vengeful rage, Sieg and Shoy enter the secret barracks underground of Zenda to meet the famous master of gunsmith Karadus.
Bypassing the hundreds of warriors working out in the school grounds, Shoy and Sieg made their way to the deepest rest area, where the freelancers cast a surprised look at the two teenagers, as if they weren't supposed to be there.
Despite not knowing anything about Chanda's secret station, Shoy still strode ahead in a very domineering manner, and after wandering around for a while, Shawy had to admit that he was lost in the labyrinthine rest area.
"Damn! I'm the best guide for Zenda! I'm actually lost here!!!" she couldn't help but make a big fuss about this, much to the displeasure of the sentries who were inspecting the vicinity.
"That's because you didn't even know there was a place...... Captain, let's go and ask them where Master Kradus is?" Sieg understood that persuasion was futile, but there was no other way but to ask for directions, so he took it upon himself to strike up a conversation with Dalio, who was armed with two swords.
"Boy, why are you here, the Freedom Alliance doesn't have the energy to take care of children at the moment!" asked a meaty-faced Dalio as he stared into Sieg's eyes.
"Uh...... This uncle is really unfriendly......"
He thought to himself that as long as he didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't cause the other party's dissatisfaction, and asked, "Senior, we are here to find Master Karadus, do you know where he lives?"
Dalio nodded, pointed to an alley not far away, and replied, "From there turn into the alley, and at the end is his residence, but at this point he should practice his gun at the horse farm, and I can lead you along the way if you want to go." ”
"Well, Uncle looks very imposing, are you?" Xiao Yi readily agreed, and not long after she set off, she asked for the other person's name.
"Dalio, the Twin Swordsmen of the Liberty Alliance. What about you, little girl?"
"Miss Ben is Shoey Augest, the commander of the Wings of Liberty Brigade! This guy is my lieutenant, Xi...... Eric Valheitt!Nice to meet Dalio!" she proudly reported her name and introduced Sieg to the side.
After learning Shaw's identity, Dalio was a little surprised, this bold little girl in front of him actually had the same surname as Faye who defeated himself and Mortis, out of curiosity, he took the initiative to ask Shaw's background, and she also informed Dalio without reservation, and after listening to what Shaw knew, Dalio nodded with satisfaction.
"I see, Fei is really your brother, he is a young hero who impresses me. And little girl, you are at a prime age, but you are already capable of commanding the most well-known Freedom Wings Brigade of the Chanda Mercenary Association, which is really amazing!"
The admiration of the core members of the Free Knights in front of him made Xiao Yi a little carried away, and the three of them arrived at the horse farm in the underground town after a few simple chats, in this not very spacious open space, dozens of knights who are proficient in equestrianism are riding their favorite horses to meet new challenges, and are training in combat with wooden guns under the orders of the team leader.
When the heavily armed knight commander noticed the arrival of the three of them, he took off his steel helmet with eye protection, and Xiao Yi recognized Karadus, whom he once admired so much, and greeted the old man directly.
"Girl, is there anything wrong with coming to Grandpa?" said Karadus, jumping off his horse and greeting Shaw.
In order to save his tongue, Xiao Yi went straight to the point and said, "We are in some trouble, grandpa, do you remember Qinglong?"
Kradus thought about it carefully and replied, "Qinglong, of course I remember, you are here for his swordsmanship, right? ”
"Hmm!Hmm!Tell me!I have to fight with him, Uncle Kai asked me to learn from you about Mr. Qinglong~"
She nodded her head repeatedly, and Karadus began to tell everything he knew about the Blue Dragon......
"I played against him at the National Athletic Tournament held by the Ryer Dian ten years ago, and the Blue Dragon was not his name, but his nickname. There is a name on the list of contestants - Long Confusion, which is the original name of Qinglong, and it is because of his Chunjia Qinglong Sword that it is superb, so people slowly forget the name of Dragon Confusion, and only write down his nickname - Qinglong. ”
Sige didn't have much interest in Qinglong's past, and urged: "Senior, none of this matters, because something that shouldn't happen, Qinglong wants to fight me to the death, so I need to know how to defeat him!"
"Don't worry, it will help. Although there has been no news about the green dragon in recent years, he should still be practicing, the Chun family Qinglong Sword is a kind of fantasy swordsmanship that relies on the mind to communicate with the water spirits in nature, and manipulates the water dragon with a sword dance, and this kind of swordsmanship needs the unique bloodline of the Chun family to promote, which means that the non-Chun family cannot use it. Swordsmanship is mainly divided into sword dance, dragon dance, and water dance, and I have seen his close-range swordsmanship, which can indeed make the sword superb, so that people have no respite. In addition, it can also dominate the surrounding water sources with moves such as the Sky Dragon and the Earth Dragon, summon the water dragon to control the battlefield, and further establish an advantage. As for the Water Dance, it is the strongest secret technique in the Spring Family's Green Dragon Sword, which is enough to break the restriction that the Green Dragon Sword needs flowing water to be activated by relying on its own cultivation, and I am ashamed that so far I only know the secret technique of breaking the Seven Sealed Dragons with one move......"
After listening to Karadus's analysis, Xige combined it with his own conclusion and got his own answer: "I was fortunate enough to learn some of the secret techniques of the Spring Family's Green Dragon Sword from another member of the Chun family, and at the same time launched the Seven Water Dragons Raid Water Breaking Seven Sealed Dragons, causing the Water Dragons to naturally split and increase the number of Water Breaking Sealing Dragon Arrays, and letting the Water Dragons circle at high speed and causing the Water Devil to Vortex the Water Vortex...... In addition, techniques such as the Heavenly Dragon, Earth Dragon, Double Dragon, and Blood Dragon should be the mystery of dragon summoning. ”
"Possibly, there was a child with him when the green dragon came to Calradia, probably his brother, what is wrong with you? ”
Xige didn't talk about Longchen's story, but replied: "I don't plan to mention the sad past, I hope my predecessors will understand." Is that all you can do to help me?"
"That's all I know, the rest is on your own, it's not wise to be an enemy of the green dragon, and I can only wish you good luck......"
At this point, Kradus sighed, put on his helmet and returned to the exercise, Sieg and Xiao also got the information they needed, turned away, and began to customize a strategy against the green dragon, and the seven-day period was approaching step by step...... On the seventh day, Sieg, accompanied by Xiao Yi, went to the Misty Mountain designated by the Blue Dragon......
At the foot of the Misty Mountains, it is a hilly area at the junction of Ryordian and Virgia, and the west side is made up of a large number of rocks, The sand is formed, the east is covered by the snow and ice of the snow field, and it is not sunny all year round due to the strange weather at the snow line, and the current location of Sig is even more foggy, and it is easy to get lost without the guidance of daylight, and from time to time there is a cold wind blowing through the cedar-lined jungle making a creepy sound, and there is nothing but the gray snow scene in the very short field of vision, and the adventurers who dare not approach this place call this place the Devil's Inhabited Fog Forest Road.
The two of them stepped on the deep snow under their feet, and advanced step by step towards the depths of the forest road, the purpose of the green dragon to let Sig come here did not seem to be simple, but the seven-day deadline had expired, and Sige could feel that the scarlet dragon in his body had become more unstable, as if it would break through his internal organs at any time, and coughing up blood due to internal injuries became more frequent.
"Eric, you're vomiting blood again, I'm wondering if we're late......" Shoy helped Sieg as he approached a cedar, and the two of them were already exhausted, so they took a break.
Sieg rolled up the left sleeve of his cotton coat, stared at the flame tattoo that had long lost its brilliance, and said, "I'm fine, I can still survive for the time being, but this pain makes my left hand ready to move, and the power of the fire demon that has finally stabilized may be awakened again." ”
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Heavy footsteps sounded in the woods, apparently the sound of a pair of thick leather boots stepping on the snow, and from the strength of the sound it must have been a large man, following the footprints left by the two.
"Commander, do you hear me? Sounds like a big guy is coming towards us. What should I do? leave or stay and see what is going on?" Sieg grabbed the knife in his desperation, just waiting for Xiao Yi to give the order.
"We ......"
Xiao Yi was going to find out the identity of the person who came, but a sharp spear flew from a distance and pierced the trunk behind the two, she didn't say a word and took Sieg's hand and fled in the direction behind her, Sieg was very suspicious of this, but the sound of approaching footsteps behind him made him unable to slow down, and after running with Xiao Yi for hundreds of meters, he finally shook off the pursuers, and the exhausted two hurriedly found a relatively hidden bush to hide.
"I'm so tired...... Why did you run away, ...... only one person, why didn't you just put him down?" he leaned against the trunk of the tree to adjust his breathing, and asked Shaw why he had escaped.
"Misty Mountain is actually a cemetery...... We are the intruders, and the cemetery guards are not wrong to hunt us down. ”
"What kind of cemetery is this, and you're going to be hunted down just if you come in...... We can't waste time here, let me finish that guy and keep going. He shook the snow off his body and prepared to leave.
Shoey called out to the departing Sieg and told him everything he knew: "It's not just humans who live in Calradia, there are also the almost extinct giants, who were allies of behemoths such as snow monsters and trolls, and the Misty Forest is the graveyard of the last tribe that went extinct hundreds of years ago, and some remnants guard this place, which is deadly to any human who sets foot here." ”
"Giant, meaning I don't have a chance of winning?"
"So we're going to run away, it's going to be very dangerous if we get caught up, if your body allows, let's keep running!" When she finished answering Sieg's question, the sound of heavy footsteps appeared in her ears again, and in order not to delay the time, she grabbed Sig and ran forward, following the compass's guidance to move north, towards the upper part of the Misty Mountain, which was full of broken ice.
Finally, the fog in front of them had subsided, but the mist still dominated their vision, and the cloudy sky obscured the faint sunlight, and they managed to pass through the Fog Forest Road, but came to the colder mountains......
Walking along the mountain trail to the end, Xiao Yi looked down the cliff, and saw a turbulent stream under the abyss, so she stopped and said to Xige: "This is the source of the Pollack River, and the place where Qinglong let us go must be the Foggy Peak Valley of the Misty Mountain, and a short walk up the mountain road will be there." ”
"There's a faint uneasiness in my heart, the atmosphere here is like somewhere in the past......" The howling cold wind around him reminded Sieg of some unacceptable past, but he calmly followed Shoy to the summit.
