Bodge bent down and whispered to one of the guards. "You go to the dragon and tell her that the great Pounce King I greets her and tells her ......"

Black Dragons – Usually inhabiting swamps or wetlands, and occasionally appearing in underground dens, some scholars have theorized that they may be very sensitive to light due to this particular habit.

He is also fluent in many languages, including the secret language of dragons, the language of humans, and advanced spells. They love to cast Darkness to cover their movements.

Most of them are about thirty feet long, and they attack with sharp teeth and claws, and they are able to spit out strong acids that dissolve everything from their mouths. Due to their independent nature, they are only willing to accept orders that are beneficial to them. As a result, most of the Dragoons do not use them to raid cities and lands, but instead they are very competent guardians and spies.

The "ogre" that Calamon mentions in the conversation as being killed by stink is actually a very important evil creature on Candela. Ogres have many names, they are also called trolls, ogres, and it is said that a group of special humans in later generations will call them "fat pigs".

With an average height of nine to ten feet and a weight of three hundred to three hundred and fifty kilograms, this evil race has yellow, tumorous skin and terrifying strength.

They usually make a living by plundering, stealing, and killing. On Candela, elves are purely good creatures, humans are swinging creatures, and ogres are purely evil creatures.

It is said that in ancient times, they had a proud and beautiful appearance, but because they only had evil and cruel thoughts in their heads, they ended up turning into such ugly monsters.

"I don't believe this guy, it's like I can't stand the smell of him. Calamon said with a frown.

"I agree," Robert said. "But what choice do we have? We have promised to bring him the treasure. He betrayed us for nothing. ”

They sat in the place where the guests were waiting to be summoned, a small, smelly room outside the main hall. The decoration here is just as ridiculous as the inside of the main hall. The group felt so stressed that they could only force themselves to eat as much as possible.

Rodrith refused to eat, huddled in a corner, away from the others. Drink your own herbs to relieve your cough. Then he wrapped himself in his robe, closed his eyes and lay flat on the ground.

Plop sat beside him, chewing on what had come out of the package. Calamon walked over to check on her brother's condition, but was startled by a tail she swallowed in her mouth.

River Breeze sat alone. He did not participate in the discussion of the plan. The Plainsman sat sullenly on the floor. He didn't even lift his head when someone touched his arm. Scarlet Moon knelt beside him with a pale face. She tried to speak, but couldn't, so she cleared her throat first.

"We'll have to talk. She said firmly, in the language of her clan.

"Is this an order?" he asked bitterly.

She barely swallowed. "Yes. "The sound was so low that it was almost inaudible.

River Breeze stood up and walked over to a tapestry. He neither looked at Scarlet Moon nor spoke to her. Although his face was expressionless, Scarlet Moon could see a heart-rending struggle under this mask.

She gently placed her hand on his arm and smiled slightly.

"Forgive me. She said softly.

River Breeze looked at her in surprise. She stood in front of him. His head was bowed, and his face had an expression like that of a child's confession. He reached out and stroked the hair of his lover, whom he had guarded with his life. He felt the moon tremble, and his heart was instantly filled with love.

He moved his hand from her head to her neck and gently embraced her into his arms.

"I've never heard you say anything like that before," he said, smiling as he knew she couldn't see him.

"I never said that," she swallowed, her cheek pressed against his leather coat. "Oh, my love, I can't express my apologies - it's not Scarlet Moon but the chief's daughter when you return to the clan...... But I was so scared. ”

"No," he whispered, "I'm the one who should ask for forgiveness." He reached out to wipe the tears from her face. "I haven't thought about what you've been through for you. I only think about myself and the dangers I've experienced. I wish you had told me sooner. “

"I wish you had asked me," she replied as she looked at him sincerely. "I've been the daughter of a chief for so long that I've almost forgotten how to fit in with the other roles. This identity is a source of strength for me, it gives me courage when I'm scared, and I feel like I can't give it up. ”

"I don't want you to give it up," he smiled at her, brushing the hair from her face. "The first time I saw you, I fell in love with the chief's daughter. Do you remember? It was at the hunting convention for you. ”

"You refuse to bow to get my blessing," she said. "You recognize my father's dominion, but refuse to recognize me as a goddess. You say that human beings should not treat other people as gods. Her eyes seemed to go back to a long time ago.

"You are so tall and proud and handsome, and you speak of the old true gods that did not exist to me at that time. ”

"You were so spiritual," he recalled. "It's so beautiful, your beauty itself is a kind of instruction to me, and I don't need any other blessings. You also ordered me to get out of that hunt. ”

Scarlet Moon smiled sadly. "You think I'm angry because you humiliated me in front of everyone. Actually, that's not what I intended, you know. ”

Her face flushed with pink, and she quietly raised her blue eyes to look at him. "I am angry because I know that the moment I see you standing there and refusing to kneel before me, my heart has already given you a part, and until you give it back to me, I will no longer be whole. ”

The plainman hugged her tighter and kissed her hair tenderly.

"River Breeze," she said, "the chief's daughter is still here, and I don't think she'll be able to disappear forever." But you see, it's your Scarlet Moon that lies underneath. If this journey finally ends, and while we enjoy the tranquility, the Crimson Moon will always be yours, the title of Chief's Daughter, let it pass away with the wind. ”

A sudden knock on the door made everyone nervous, and a dwarf guard of the valley walked into the room. "Map. He said, stuffing a crumpled piece of paper into Robert.

"Thank you. The half-elf said in a low voice. "Also help us convey our gratitude to the Fluttering King. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The guards nervously corrected, constantly looking at a wall with tapestries on it. Then he clumsily retreated to the room of the pounce king.

Robert unfolds the map. Everyone was around, even Hubble. After one glance, Hubble snorted disdainfully and walked back to his seat.

Robert smiled wryly. "We should have known this a long time ago. I wonder if the great Boji remembers where this secret room is?"

"Of course I don't remember," Rodrith stood up, his eyes half-narrowed at the map. That's why he didn't go back to get the treasure. But some of us know the location of the dragon's den. "Everyone follows the mage's gaze.

Puff looked at them proudly. "Yes, I know. She said sullenly. "I know secret places, I've been there, and I've found beautiful stones. But he didn't tell the pounce king. ”

"Will you tell us?" asked Robert. Puff looked at Rodlis, who nodded.

I said. She muttered. "Give the map. ”

Seeing that everyone else was looking intently at the map, Rodlis quietly walked up to his brother.

"Is the plan still the same?" the mage whispered.

"Yes," Calamon frowned. "I don't like that, I should follow you. ”

"Nonsense. Rodrith whispered. "You're only going to hinder me!" he added, "I promise you, I won't be in danger." He put his hand on his twin brother's arm and pulled him closer. "And," the mage looked around, "brother, I would like to ask for your help. You'll have to bring something back to me from the Dragon's Lair. ”

Rodrith's hands were unusually strong, and his eyes burned. Calamon stepped back uneasily, seeing the frenzy of the Mage's Tower in his brother's eyes, but Rodrith still clung to him.

"What's that?" Calamon said reluctantly.

"A magic book!" Rodrith whispered.

"So that's why you're in the lair of the lone dragon!" said Callamon, "and you know this book is going to be here." ”

"I read his account many years ago. I know it was in the Lone Dragon's Lair before the Cataclysm, and every mage knew about it, but everyone thought it had been destroyed along with the city.

When I knew that the lair of the lone dragon was still there, I knew that the magic book could still be intact!"

"How did you know it was in the Dragon's Lair?"

"I don't know. Just guessing. For the mage, this book is the most precious treasure of the lair of the lair of the lonely dragon. There's a good chance you're using it yourself!"

"You want me to bring it back for you," Calamon said slowly. "What does it look like?"

"Of course, it looks almost the same as my magic book, except that its cover is dark blue leather with silver symbols on it. It's cold to the touch. ”

"What do those symbols mean?"

"You won't want to know......" Rodrith whispered.

"Whose book is this?" Calamon asked skeptically.

Rodrith fell silent, his golden eyes losing their lustre, as if he were recalling something deep in his memory. "You've never heard him, brother," he said at last, but his voice was so weak that Calamon had to get close to listen. "But he is the greatest mage of my life. His name is Shiloh Fisdal. ”

"You describe the appearance of that book—" Callamon hesitated, afraid of Rodrith's answer. He swallowed his saliva and asked again. "This Festan Dantilus - is he a black-robed mage?" he didn't dare to look his brother in the eye.

"The Embrace of the Demon Guide is one of the thousand-year-old artifacts that have been handed down, and it has extremely powerful destructive power!" Rodrith remembered what happened a thousand years ago, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't ask any more!" said Rodrith in a hoarse voice. "You're as stupid as everyone else, how can you possibly understand my mind!" the mage sighed as he looked at the pain in his twin brother's eyes. "Trust me, Calamon. This is not a very powerful magic book - but an ancient magic book.

When he used the magic book when he was very young, when he was very young," Rodrith muttered, his eyes looking into the distance. But he blinked and came back to reality, "but it's still valuable to me." You've got to get it, you've got to—" He coughed.

"Of course, little brother. Calamon agreed, comforting his brother. "Don't get too tired, I'll definitely find it. ”

"Good Calamon, good brother. When Rodrith was finally able to speak, he spoke. He closed his eyes, "Now I need to rest, I'll have to be ready when the time comes." ”

Calamon stood up, and he turned, almost stepping on the flutter standing behind him, who looked at him with wide-eyed puzzled eyes.

"What did you just do?" asked Stone after Calamon joined the discussion.

"Oh, nothing. The big man blushed and muttered. Stone exchanged glances with Robert alertly.

"What's the matter, Calamon?" Robert rolled up the map and put it on his belt, looking at the warrior. "Did something go wrong?"

"N-no. Calamon muttered. "Nothing. I—uh—tried to convince Rodrith to let me go along. But he said I would only get in his way. ”

Robert looked at Calamon. He knew that the big man was telling the truth, but he also knew that the warrior did not tell the whole truth. Calamon would be more than happy to sacrifice his or her life for everyone. But Robert suspects that a word from Rodlis can also make him betray everyone.

The big man looked at Robert with a pleading look in his eyes.

"He's right, Calamon, you know," Robert said at last, patting the big man on the shoulder. "Rodrith won't be in danger, Pounce will follow him. She'll take him back here and hide it. All he needed was to create some illusions, some spells to lure them out. By the time she arrived, he had already fled. ”

"Of course, I know," Calamon said, squeezing out a smile in passing. "You'll need me too. ”

"We do. Robert said solemnly. "Is everyone ready?"

There was silence all around, and everyone stood up in a heavy atmosphere. Rodrith stepped forward, his hands in his sleeves and a hood on his head. The mage's body exuded a powerful aura—a powerful force that radiated from the inside out—very certain, but terrifying. Robert cleared his throat.

"We'll count five hundred first, and let you go first," Robert said to Rodleys. "Then let's set off again, the secret place marked on this map, according to your child, is a secret door in a building not far away.

It leads to the Dragon's Lair, where we see her today. After performing your spell in the square, hurry back here.

We'll meet here and bring the treasure back to the Pounce King. It wasn't until dark that we started to run outside. ”

"I see, let's get off as soon as possible. Rodrith said calmly. [.]
