The Dragon of the Eastern Night - Chapter 26: A Guest of the Winter Celebration

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Winter Celebration Guests

After the knight had departed, it took Sir Gonza several days to hurry home. The roads are knee-deep muddy. His foal didn't just fall once. Gonsa, who loves horses almost more than his son, dismounts and walks whenever he has the opportunity. So when he returned to the castle, he was soaking wet and shivering. The groom came out and took hold of the horse.

"Give him a good wipe. Gonza stiffened his horse. "Give him hot oats and," he recounted all the details, and the groom listened patiently as if this was the first time he had taken care of the horse. In fact, if it weren't for his butler coming out to him, Gonza would have personally pulled the horse into the stable.

"Sir. Wells pulled Gangsa to the side of the entrance. "You have guests. They had just arrived a few hours earlier. ”

"Who is it?" asked Gangsa listlessly, it was not new news that a guest had arrived, especially during this holiday season. "Sir Michael, he can't go back with us, but I invite him to come back and pay him a visit."

"An old man, sir. Wells interrupted, "There's also a Kander." ”

"A Kander?" said Gonza alertly.

"I'm afraid so, sir. Please don't worry!" added the butler. "I've locked all my silverware in a drawer, and Madame has put all the jewels in the attic. ”

"People will think we've been robbed!" said Gonza disdainfully. In fact, his footsteps through the vast courtyard were indeed faster than usual.

"You can't take these people too lightly, sir. Wells muttered, following briskly.

"What are these people?beggars?, how did you let them in?" asked Gonsa, a little annoyed. All he wants now is a glass of hot wine, dry and warm clothes, and a massage from his wife. "Give them some food and money and send them away. Of course, remember to search the Kander first. ”

"I was about to do that, sir, but there was something unusual about these people, especially the old man. If you ask me, I'll think he's a little crazy, but sir, he's not stupid. And he knows something that might do him or us some good. ”

"What do you mean?"

The two men opened the large wooden door that led to the castle's living room. Gonza paused to look at his butler, knowing that he had amazing insight. Wells looked around sneakily, then approached Gonsa.

"The old man wants me to tell you that he has urgent news about Dragon Ball, sir!"

"Dragon Ball!" Gonza muttered. Dragon Ball is a secret, at least that's what he thinks. Of course, the knights knew. Did Rick tell anyone? Is this also a ploy of his?

"You've handled it well, Wells, as usual," Gonsa finally said. "Where are they?"

"I've invited them to your chess room, I don't think they can cause any trouble over there. ”

"I need to change my clothes first so that I don't catch a cold. Then I went to see them at once. Have you taken care of them?"

"Yes, sir. Wells replied, hurrying after Gonza, who had strode forward again. "Hot wine, some bread and meat, I'm sure the Kandes have probably touched the plate by now"

Gonsa and Wells stood outside the strategy room door for a moment, trying to eavesdrop on the people inside.

"Put that back!" said a stern voice.

"I don't want it! It's mine! You see, it's in my bag. ”

"Wow! I saw you just put it in five minutes ago!"

"Hmph, you're wrong!" said the other in an injured tone. "This is mine!

You see, my name is engraved on it.'"

"'Give Gonsawu love, on the day our child is born,' said the first voice.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Wells pale. Then the shrill voice spoke again, this time much quieter.

"I guess it must have fallen into my bag, Fei Capital. Look, my bag is on the floor, isn't that lucky? If it falls directly to the floor, it will break."

Sir Gonza opened the door with a grim face.

"Pleasantly, guys. He said. Wells squeezed in from outside the room, carefully surveying the room. Two strangers turned, and the old man held a cup in his hand. Wells jumped forward with a lunge and retrieved the cup. He glanced at the Kander reproachfully and carefully placed it on the cup holder so that the Kander had no chance to get it.

"Is there anything else, sir?" Wells looked at the Kander pointedly.

"Do you need me to look at these things?"

Gangsa was about to open his mouth to answer, but the old man took the lead and waved his hand.

"No, thank you, bring me some more ale. Don't give me that horse urine from the servant's barrel!" the old man looked sternly at Wells, "pour the wine from the barrel that sits beside the staircase of the cellar, you know, the one full of cobwebs. ”

Wells looked at him with his mouth wide open.

"Go, don't be over there like a stranded fish with its mouth wide open! he's an idiot, isn't he?" asked the old man.

"No, no," Gonsa stammered. "It's okay, Wells. I figured I wanted a drink too, so I poured ale from the barrel next to the staircase. How would you know?" he asked the old man suspiciously.

"Oh, he's a mage!" the Kand shrugged and sat down uninvited.

"Mage?" the old man looked around. "Where?"

Tess whispered a word, poking the old man.

"Really, is it?" he said, "that's amazing? You know what, now I remember a spell...... Fireball. How?"

The old man began to recite strange incantations. The Kander jumped out of his chair alertly and grabbed the old man.

"No, old man!" he pulled him back into his chair. "Not now!"

"I don't think so. The old man said thoughtfully, "It's a great spell."

"I'm pretty sure," Gonza muttered, completely stunned. Then he shook his head, regaining his composure. "Now, explain it quickly. Who the hell are you?

Why come here? Wells mentioned Dragon Ball."

"I am," the mage blinked, pausing.

"Fei Capital," the Kander sighed, and he politely held out his little hand to Gonza.

"I'm Tysokov. Bervolt. He began to sit down. "Oh!" he jumped again.

"I wish you all the best, Knight. ”

"Yes, yes. Gonza nodded absentmindedly. "What the hell does this have to do with Dragon Ball?"

"Ah, yes, Dragon Ball!" the confused watch please left Fei Capital's face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Gonsa with intense interest. "Where is it now? We've come a long way to find it. ‘”

"I'm afraid I can't tell you!" said Gangsa coldly. "If, we really have such a thing"

"Oh, here of course. Fei Capital replied. "It was a rose knight who brought it, Drake. Kronga. Stonebreit-Breed was with him. ”

"They are my friends. Tesochov explained, noticing that Gonsa's jaw was about to fall. "Actually, I helped find the Dragon Ball," the Kander modestly added. "We took it from an evil mage in a frozen castle. It's a great story," he leaned forward eagerly.

"Would you like to hear it?"

"No need," Gonsa looked at the two men in surprise. "If I'm believing you, it's like a swimmer's bird story or something," he leaned back in his chair. Stone did mention something about the Kanders. "Who else is on your team?"

"Flint the Dwarf, Telos the Blacksmith, Gilsenas, Lolana"

"That's it!" Gonza shouted in emotful terms, and then he frowned. "But he never mentioned a magician......"

"Oh, that's because I'm dead. Fei Capital put his feet on the table and said.

Gonza's eyes widened, and before he could answer, Wells walked in. Glaring at the Kande, he placed the cup in front of Gonsa.

"Three glasses of wine, sir. Plus there are four cups on the forest shelf, and I'd better have four when I come back!"

He walked out and slammed the door shut.

"I'll watch them. Theis earnestly agreed. "Do you often have problems with people stealing cups?" he asked Gonsa.

"I didn't...... Dead?" Gonsa felt that the whole situation was about to get completely out of control soon.

"That's a long story. Fei Capital said. He drank the wine from the glass in one gulp and wiped the foam off his lips with the tip of his beard. "Ah, great, where did I just go?"

"It's dead!" Tess enthusiastically helped.

"Ah, yes. It's a long story, and it's not appropriate to talk about it now. You have to get the Dragon Balls first. Where is it?"

Gonza stood up angrily, ready to drive the old man and the Kanders out of the castle.

He was about to call the guards to catch them. However, he found himself given by the old man's gaze.

Solania rode on a horse that had been afraid of magic since ancient times. While they did not participate in the riot that destroyed the Archmage's Tower (which would have violated the rules of riding), they were not sorry to see the mage driven out of the city of Paranzas.

"Why do you want to know?" Gonsa began to flinch, feeling a terrifying force seep into his blood. Gonsa sat down slowly, reluctantly.

Fei Capital's eyes began to glow. "I know my purpose. He said softly, "You just need to know that I'm here to find the Dragon Balls." This was made by a mage a long time ago! I know very well, I know a lot of things. ”

Gonza hesitated for a moment, struggling. After all, there were still knights guarding the dragon ball, and if the old man really knew a lot of things as he claimed, what did it matter if he told him where the dragon ball was?

Fei Capital absentmindedly picked up the empty cup and prepared to take another sip. He looked inside plaintively, and Gonsa just opened his mouth to answer.

"Dongzhu is in the Lin Ru clan. ”

Fei Zikuang dropped the cup with a bang. It shattered into countless pieces and fell all over the ground.

"Look, didn't I tell you?" said Tess sadly, looking at the broken cup.

The pygmy people have lived in the Leave It Mountains for long history. Since they are the only ones who care about it, they are the only ones who are counting the time. They were here when they arrived at St. Quest on the first ride. At that time, knights came here from the newly created kingdom of Jinglanya, and built bunkers and fortresses to guard the westernmost borders of the kingdom.

The gnomes had always been very suspicious of outsiders, and they were alerted to the sight of a group of tall, warlike, warlike humans arriving in a boat. The Protectors decided that humans could not be allowed to pollute their paradise in the mountains and immediately went into action. As the most technologically advanced race on Klein (they invented the steam engine and springs), the Woods~ first wanted to hide in the cave, but then came up with a better idea. Hide the mountains!After months of pondering by their greatest mechanical genius, the Confucians are ready. Their plan is to make the whole mountain disappear!

At this critical moment, the gnome philosophers' guild wondered if the knights had noticed the highest mountain on the island, and would the sudden disappearance of the mountain range arouse the curiosity of mankind?

This question has put the gnomes in a desperate situation. They spent many days discussing the issue. This question divided the Confucian philosophers into two groups: those who believed that if a tree fell, it would make a rumbling sound even if no one heard it, and those who believed that it would not. On the seventh day, the question of how the controversy related to the original issue was reported and referred to the Committee for consideration. At the same time, the engineers angrily decided to activate the device anyway.

Hence an event that is still recorded in the history of St. Quest (most of the other histories were wiped out in the cataclysm) is the "Day of the Rotten Eggs".

On that day, Sir Gonsa's ancestor woke up sleepy-eyed and wondered if his son had fallen into the roof of the chicken farm again. It was only a few weeks ago, and the kid was chasing a rooster.

"Go and throw him into the pond," said Gonsa's ancestor to his wife, turning over and covering his head with the quilt.

"I can't help it!" she said in a daze. "The chimney is smoking!"

The two of them suddenly came to their senses and found that the smoke in the whole house did not come from the chimney, and the disgusting smell was not from the chicken farm!

The two, like the rest of the colony's inhabitants, rushed out of the house, choking on the growing smell and coughing. But they couldn't see anything, and all around them was thick yellow smoke, which smelled like a three-day-old egg.

After a few hours, the inhabitants of each colony were dying. They picked up blankets and clothes and fled to the sea. They thankfully breathed the pure, salty air, and wondered if there was a way to return to their homeland.

As they were discussing the yellow clouds on the horizon, the colonists were surprised to find a group of little brown creatures staggering out of the smoke and almost all of them falling at their feet.

Sorenia's well-meaning people immediately began to rescue the poor gnomes. There are four things that the people of Sorenia value most: personal honor, knightly creed, knightly regulations, and technology. They were amazed at the labor-saving machines invented by Bao Ru at this time, including pulleys, ramps, spirals, and gears. It was also in this first encounter that the mountain range got its name.

The knights soon discovered that while the dwarfs were similar to the dwarves, both short and stocky, that was the end of it. They have brown skin and white hair, and are very nervous and angry. They spoke so fast that at first the knights thought they were speaking a foreign language. Later, I found out that it was a lingua franca spoken at a very fast speed. The question became apparent when an elder asked for the name of the mountain.

It can be translated like this: a huge, majestic mountain range made up of many different kinds of minerals, which we have examined, marble, black flare, quartz, and many other species that we are working on, and it has its own internal heating system, which we are working on in the hope that one day we will be able to replicate this thing, because its temperature can heat the rocks to the point that they will turn into liquid gases flowing down this huge, majestic mountain......

"Leave it alone!" said the elder impatiently.

Leave it alone! The gnomes were very impressed. It's amazing that human beings can turn this mountain range into a single word that needs to be described in so many words! So, from that day on, the mountain was called Leave It Alone, at least as recorded in the Guild of the Glypmy Drafters.

Since then, the knights of St. Quest have lived in peace with the gnomes, bringing any technologically related problems to the gnomes and asking them to solve them, and the gnomes continue to provide many new inventions.

When the Dragon Balls arrived, the knights wanted to know how this thing worked. They gave it to the gnomes and sent two young knights to guard it. They didn't even think that this dragon ball might have been made with magic.
