She circled them seemingly endlessly, her huge figure circling the sky regularly.

The sailors, who were ready to go into battle without hesitation, began to chatter with each other, because the long wait was unbearable.

To make matters worse, the white dragon seemed to have stopped the wind around him, and the sails that had been full were now hanging lifelessly.

The ship lost its momentum to sail steadily and began to drift helplessly, and the storm began to gather on the northern horizon, casting a shadow over the otherwise blue sea.

Lolana finally put down her bow and arrows and began to massage her sore shoulders. Her eyes were blurred by tired tears from looking at the sky for a long time.

"Put them in the lifeboats and fend for themselves," she heard a weathered sailor deliberately raise her voice.

"Maybe the beast will let us go, after all, she wants them, not us. ”

She doesn't want us either, Lolana thought uneasily. Probably that Dragon Ball. That's why she didn't attack.

But Lolana couldn't tell anyone else, not even the captain. The fact of the existence of Dragon Ball must never be divulged to anyone.

As the long afternoon passed, the white dragon continued to hover like a terrifying and terrifying seabird.

The captain is getting more and more irritable, not only because he has to deal with a dragon, but also because of the possible mutiny crisis on board. Towards dinner, he ordered the group to go to the lower deck.

Both Drake and Stone refused, just as the situation was about to get out of hand—"Land!"

"South Atlantis!" said the captain solemnly. "The currents would take us closer to the reef. He looked up at the hovering white dragon.

"If the wind doesn't blow again, we'll hit it soon. ”

At that moment, the white dragon stopped circling, and she suddenly pulled up, and the sailor, thinking that she was about to leave, immediately cheered. But Lolana remembered Tassis's lesson.

"She's ready to swoop!" she shouted. "She's ready to attack!"

"Go down!" strode shouted. The sailors hesitated to look at the sky one last time and began to squeeze towards the hatch. The captain ran to the position of the steering wheel.

"Go down," he commanded the helmsman.

"You can't stay here!" shouted Stone as he exited the hatch and ran to the captain. "She'll kill you!"

"If I leave, we'll run aground!" shouted the captain, angry.

"If you die, we'll all run aground!" Stone said. He punched the captain in the jaw and dragged him into the cabin.

Lolana walked down the stairs with a stealthy step, followed by Gilsenas. The elven nobleman waited until Stone had brought the captain in before closing the hatch tightly.

At that moment, the freezing air exhaled by the white dragon almost turned the entire ship over. The hull of the ship shook in thrills.

Everyone, even the most experienced sailors, could not stand still and crashed into a ball in the crowded cabin. Hubble cursed and fell to the floor.

"Now is a good opportunity to pray to your God. Drake said to Elistan.

"I'm already doing it. Elistan replied calmly, helping the dwarf to his feet.

Lolana clung to the pillar, waiting for the familiar flames and hot winds to swallow them up.

Unexpectedly, a biting cold wind hit everyone, almost freezing people's blood.

She could hear the sound of freezing from the deck above, and the crackling of the sails had stopped.

When she looked up, she also noticed that white frost was beginning to seep down the cracks.

"White dragons don't breathe fire!" said Lolana in surprise, "but they spray ice, oh my God, Elistan!

"Wow! Spitfire might be better. The captain shook his head and touched his chin. "The ice will freeze us solidly. ”

"An ice-spewing dragon!" Wade said thoughtfully, "if only I could see it!"

"What will happen?" asked Lolana as the ship began to let out various wails as it slowly returned to its original position.

"We're dead!" roared the captain. "The rope tied to the sail would be overloaded by the extra weight of the ice, tearing the entire sail off.

The mast will break in half like a twig. Once you can't control the direction, the tide will push the boat unbiased against the reef, and that's how the story ends. And we can't do anything but look stupidly!"

"We can try to shoot her down. Gircenas said. But Stone shook his head and pushed the hatch hard.

"The ice on it must be at least a foot thick. The knight said. "We're stuck inside. ”

This is how the White Dragon is going to take the Dragon Ball, Lorana thought helplessly. She can play with the ship as she pleases and kill us without risking the Dragon Balls sinking into the sea.

"Another attack like that would sink us to the bottom of the sea. The captain predicted, but the next attack was not so violent.

The second attack was more gentle, and everyone realized that the white dragon was using her attack to blow the boat to shore.

It was a perfect plan, and the snow began to feel triolatory.

She glided slowly behind the boat, letting the tide carry the boat to shore, occasionally helping it.

But when she saw the rocky shore in the moonlight, she realized the flaw in her plan.

The moonlight was then obscured by dark clouds, and the white dragon could see nothing. The sky became as filthy as the soul behind the darkness.

Ice and snow began to curse dark clouds, although this was a great help to the dragoons in the north, but at this moment Ma Yun covered the two moons, leaving the ice and snow at a loss.

She distinctly heard the sound of wood breaking underneath, and the ship had probably hit the reef. She could even hear the sailors' cries, but she couldn't see anything!

She lowered her altitude closer to the surface of the sea, hoping to freeze the poor creatures first and solve the problem during the day. Then she heard another, more terrible sound in the darkness: the sound of the bowstring pulling apart.

One arrow grazed her head, the other striking the supporting joints of her massive wings.

Ice and snow screamed and swooped, there must be an elf underneath, she thought exasperatedly.

More arrows flew towards her in the darkness. Those cursed, damned, elves who can see at night!

With their eyesight, they could easily target her even in the dark, especially after one of her wings was injured.

Sensing a rapid drain of her strength, she decided to fly back to Glacier Castle immediately.

After a long day of flying, she did feel exhausted, and the wounds on her wings were even more painful.

Indeed, when she finally thought about it, she would have to report the news of the defeat to the Queen of Darkness again. Maybe it wasn't a complete failure, as she did prevent the Dragon Balls from reaching San Quest and did destroy the ship.

She knew the location of the ship, and with the intelligence network that had developed on Atlantis after the darkness, she should be able to easily take the Dragon Ball back into her hands.

The white dragon flew to the south exhausted, flying slowly. The next morning, she arrived at her old base camp in the Glacier Zone.

After repaying her gains, she ducked into a huge ice cave to slowly heal her wounded wings.

"She's gone!" said Gireenas in surprise.

"Of course. Derek said as he tiredly unloaded all the supplies on the ship.

"Her eyesight is no better than your elf's. And, you also shot her. ”

"It was Lolana who shot it, not me," Gilsenas smiled at his sister, who was standing on the shore with a bow in her hand.

The elves' eyesight can be described as good

Derek sniffled suspiciously. He carefully put down the box he was carrying and waded back to the boat again. A figure emerged from the darkness and stopped him.

"No need, Drake. Stone said. "The ship has sunk. ”

Stone had Hubble behind him, and his steps were a little unsteady. Lolana saw Stone stumbling due to exhaustion, and hurriedly ran into the water to help him.

Together, they lifted the dwarf onto the beach and laid him flat on all fours.

The constant sound of wood breaking from the open sea has been cut off, replaced by the never-ending sound of the tide.

With a crack, Tessokov walked ashore behind them with a twitch of teeth, but with a relieved smile on his face, followed by the captain supported by Elistan.

"Where are my corpses?" asked Derick as soon as he saw the captain. "Where have they gone?"

"We have more important things to carry. The captain snapped, "Things that a living person can use, like food and weapons. ”

"There are many good people who have died here, and yours will not be the first, and certainly not the last. I can guarantee that. Although this is not good news. The captain added.

Drake was about to speak again, but the grief-stricken, exhausted captain said, "Six of my sailors have died tonight, Lord Knight.

They are not like your men, they were alive at the beginning of the voyage. Not to mention that all my tools for livelihood are buried deep in the sea.

I wouldn't care about adding something to the bottom of the floor, if you can see what I mean. Knight-sama. ”

"I'm sorry for your loss, Captain. Derek replied stiffly. "I admire what you have done. ”

The captain seemed to be disoriented, muttering to himself in a daze on the beach.

"We've sent your men to the shore in that direction, Captain. "There's shelter there, right in the woods." ”

As if to prove what she had said, a huge campfire lit up.

"Stupid!" said Derek through gritted teeth. "They'll lure the dragon back. ”

"If we don't, we're all going to freeze to death. The captain looked back. "Take care of it yourself, knight. I don't care anyway. He disappeared into the darkness.

Stone stretched, trying to stretch his stiff, spasmodic muscles, Hubble huddled and shivered, and even the belt buckle began to clank.

Lolana bent down to wrap her cloak around Hubble, suddenly realizing that her body temperature was frighteningly low.

The tension of battling the dragon and escaping the shipwreck made her forget the cold.

In fact, she couldn't even remember how she escaped. She remembered fleeing to the shore and the white dragon swooping down on them.

She played with the bowstring with her numb, trembling fingers. She had been wondering how anyone could calmly escape from such a dangerous situation - "Dragon Ball!" she said fearfully.

"Here, in this box. Derek replied. "And the hilt of the spear, and the one you call the Dragon Slayer.

Now I think we should take a good time to warm up~"

"I disagree. A strange voice emerged from the darkness, and the light of the torches made it impossible for everyone to see anything.

The group immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the helpless dwarf. But after a moment of panic, Lolana began to wander and carefully examine the person in front of her.

"Don't move!" she shouted. "It's our people! they're elves!"

"Sivanasti Elf!" said Gilthenas with joy, dropping his bow and walking over to the elf who had just spoken.

"We traveled in the dark for a long time. He stretched out his hands and said in Elven language. "Fortunately, compatriot—"

He didn't get a chance to finish his greeting. The leader of the small group of elves stepped forward and struck him in the face with the wooden staff in his hand, knocking him unconscious and falling to the ground.

Stone and Drake immediately drew their weapons, and the elf's direction shone with steel.

"Stop!" said Lola, appropriating Elven language. She knelt beside her brother and removed her hood so that every elf could see her.

"We are your cousins, elves from Wellington. These humans are the honorary knights of Sorenia!"

"We know who you are. The elf leader said disdainfully. "It's just a Wellington spy, and it's no surprise that you're traveling with humans.

Your veins have long been polluted. Catch them. He said to his subordinates.

"If they don't want to be tied up, do what you have to do. Try to find out what they mean by Dragon Ball. ”

The elf said and took a step forward.

"No!" Drake jumped forward, in front of the box. "Stone, we can't let them take the Dragon Balls!"

Stone had already begun to salute his enemy, drawing his sword and stepping forward.

"It looks like they want to fight, so come on. The elven leader said, raising his weapon.

"I tell you, it doesn't make sense!" Loulana shouted angrily.

She stood between the gleaming weapons, and the elf stopped in disbelief.

Stone grabbed her and tried to pull her away, but she jerked his hands free.

"Goblins and dragonmen, even if they are as evil as they are, will not rush to fight each other. ”

Her voice was filled with great anger as she said, "But I see the elves of the oldest bloodline rushing to kill each other, behold!"

She lifted the lid of the box with one hand, revealing its contents.

Stone was really taken aback, he stared at the contents in disbelief, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
