Chapter 2: Dragon Calamity
Indeed, this is not the first time Colin has come to see the circus. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But this circus wasn't like anything Colin had seen before, at least their flames were green.
By this time, Colin had already taken the two little girls to sit on the edge of the venue, and there were many braziers and rings of fire on the stage, and the faces of the audience reflected in the firelight were golden. The circus had already started for a while, and now the two-headed dogs in the venue were drilling the fire ring, but even this fire ring made Colin's eyes widen in surprise! Colin asked himself that he was a traveling scholar, and although he had worked as a bard at Eton, he had seen much more than the hillbillies in the countryside, but in any case, he was stunned by what he saw: the two-headed dogs had split into two dogs in front of the ring of fire, and had escaped from the two rings of fire at the same time, and then quickly merged together and continued to run!
The townsfolk around them stood up and cheered, they didn't think there was anything unusual about these two-headed dogs, and they would be very happy as long as the scene was lively. At this time, Colin, who was still sitting, couldn't help but fall into confusion: Colin had found a copy of "Canine Beasts" in the National Library of the Bierre District before, which detailed various two-headed dogs, including his various subspecies. But no matter how much Ren Colin recalled, he couldn't recall any text that described such a strange dog breed. This simply subverts the basic knowledge of vertebrate cognition, does this two-headed dog have two spines?!
Before Colin could come to his senses, a burst of white light pulled him back to the circus: the leader of the parade was a unicorn. Yes, it is indeed a unicorn, and the horn of a unicorn may be fake, but the divine white light around him cannot be fake!
A thought suddenly occurred to Colin: he must talk to the owner of this circus about where they got these exotic beasts!
The circus in the back is more and more exciting, and the little girls are holding rag dolls and jumping and cheering excitedly. Colin was constantly speculating and denying the origin of this circus, he really couldn't believe that there were these things in the provinces he visited, or that there were these things that he didn't find himself, you know, even the great cave under the mountain of Emperor Shuowan II he had explored to the end, which was a world outrage that was inaccessible.
"They may be from the province of Konya, after all, it borders the territory of the elves, and it is likely that they will be able to capture the darling of these elves, the unicorn. But what about the two-headed dogs, all the demonic creatures are the sworn enemies of the elves. "Either from the other side of the Infinity Sea...... That mysterious northern continent...... No, the infinite sea is extremely dangerous, ships can't sail at all, and transportation relies on airships, but how can this circus be able to charter the next airship to transport these strange beasts. ”
Confused, a loud roar woke Colin.
"It's ...... Dragon!" Colin stood up.
"Oh~~!" the townsfolk were all surprised to keep their mouths shut.
In the middle of the stage, in the brightest place lit by the fire, there was a huge iron cage with a young dragon inside! Yes, a real young dragon!
At this moment, the young dragon was scanning the onlookers with his hostile eyes, and from time to time let out an angry roar. This is an earth dragon young dragon, although it is the lowest existence in the dragon clan, but it is indeed a flying dragon. And judging by his hostility to humans, it is likely that he was captured by humans, not hatched and domesticated. What kind of force can capture a dragon alive!
This circus has been so far beyond Colin's imagination that he can't even guess the origin of this circus. What kind of force is behind him, with such power but only to run a circus, or is this circus just a boring hobby?
Staring closely at the young dragon struggling in its cage, Colin swallowed. His early years as a traveling scholar gave him an instinctive fear of the unknown, and he already had some cold sweat on his forehead. After two or three years of dwelling, although it was not long, this deep fear of the unknown has never been stronger: who are they? Why did they suddenly come to this place? Why did this such a grand circus attract such a grand circus in the middle of nowhere, which is obviously remote and unattended, and so far from the trade routes?
Just as he was puzzled, the animal trainer on the stage introduced the wyvern in a loud voice: "As you can see, this is a real wyvern! He comes from the southernmost part of the empire, the Wyvern Valley, and is the most powerful creature on this continent. Don't look at him now, the adult wyvern is at least 20 meters long, extremely fierce and powerful, and the higher individuals among them can even use powerful dragon magic!" The dragon scales are extremely hard and have a brilliance comparable to that of a gem, and now any of you can get one for only 5 gold coins!"
There was an uproar at the scene, and the acquisition of dragon trophies was the highest honor for samurai, and it was also the cornerstone of the fame of the great clans! And now such an opportunity to win the honor of the noble lord was in front of him, and the eyes of many townspeople flashed with greed.
"I'll give you five coins!" the crowd looked at the shouters, who were Karahatel Kersmore, the largest landowner in the area. It is said that he was the widow of the royal family of the Old Kingdom, and his ancestors were divided by the first emperor to the Duchy of Grimal, not far from here, but the Grand Duke of Germoor's family has been promiscuous for generations, "branching out", and his lineage has been thin anymore, and he also obtained a large area of land east of Grimar Town from his father because he was one of the illegitimate sons of the Grand Duke. Straightening his stomach, he arrogantly looked around the audience in half the audience and said, "Only my noble blood is worthy of this noble glory." ”
"Hmph, I don't know which of the female dogs of the Grand Duke of the breeder gave birth to such a 'noble' beast!" a rickety old woman cursed him in a low and angry manner, and her farmer's son and daughter-in-law died of exhaustion in the fields of this "nobleman". Old Kersmore also had many enemies in the town, but he was mixed up with several squad leaders of the 7th Brigade of the nearby garrison, and no one dared to come forward to teach him a lesson.
"Yes, this gentleman, please come up to the stage and take your booty!" the female animal trainer's impassioned words sounded like a sarcasm to the fat man's ears.
"No need, just bring me the scales. The stench of that dragon makes me sick to my stomach. "Everyone can see that this coward doesn't have the courage to connect to the cage. The crowd snickered. Old Fox Moulder blushed with anger, but he didn't have the courage to go to the cage in all fairness.
"Okay, I'll get it for you. The female trainer turned, took a large pair of tongs, and approached the cage step by step.
"Hmm, she's sneering!" Colin, who was staring intently at the field, suddenly noticed the strangeness of the female animal trainer, and a great fear suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but clasp the small hands of the two little girls sitting on either side.
"Eh, Colin, why are your palms sweaty?"
"Oh my God! What is she doing!"
The female trainer opened the cage, and the dragon rushed out of the audience, and the female trainer was knocked to the ground by the dragon, as if she had fainted. Colin screamed, picked up the two children, and stepped on the panicked crowd in an attempt to escape the Wyvern.
Screams and cries rang out one after another, and the angry wyvern smashed into swaths of houses, and the wind on its wings tossed countless people to the ground. The brazier toppled and the center of the town was in flames, and many of the undressed residents ran out of the burning house, only to be frightened back into the house by the wyvern hovering in mid-air. Shouting, crying, wailing, the town has now become a hell on earth. Colin and the Sauer's two daughters hid together in the cellar of a tavern near the square, listening to the roar of the wyvern and the crackling of the raging fire outside. The little girls were so frightened that they couldn't cry and trembled. Colin hugged the two little girls tightly, cold sweat flowing, and there were still afterimages of the chaotic and terrifying scene in front of him. Colin was almost the first townsfolk to get up and start running for their lives, stumbling over one of the hapless bastards in the last row who was about to flee but fell. Almost as soon as Colin entered the cellar, the toppling pillar smashed the cellar opening.
The dragon raged for a full hour before leaving, and the entire center of the town was in flames, and the surrounding houses were also largely collapsed. The town of Glimar was almost wiped out overnight!
It was not until the next morning that the townspeople dared to return to the town to search for the wounded and collect the bodies.
"Is there any alive in there!" shouted from above the cellar for the search and rescue of the townspeople.
In the dark, Colin hurriedly shouted, "Someone! Someone! Help us! There are two children here!"
Within a few minutes, the pillars at the exit of the cellar were removed, and Colin walked out of the dark cellar with two frail little girls in his arms.
"Colin!"
Stunned by the light outside, Colin saw the man who had rescued them.
Sauer ......
At this moment, Sauer was excited, he thought that his two daughters were dead, but he didn't expect to be rescued by his own hands now. Illya on the side had already picked up the children, and was kneeling on the ground with two confused children at the moment, crying with joy, like crazy.
Sauer hugged Colin and was speechless, so excited that all that was left was laughter and two lines of tears.
After one night, the relatives and friends who can still be reunited in the town hug each other and cry.
......
Lying on the bed at home, Colin is still a little weak now. A sleepless night, combined with the lack of oxygen in the basement, tossed Colin enough. Listening to the townspeople who searched and rescued this morning, Old Kersmore was actually dragged out of the rubble of the audience stand, only slightly injured, but he was frightened crazy, the most damned person did not die, and the people in the town gritted their teeth with hatred. I also heard from the residents on the east side of the town that the dragon flew away to the southeast, and the circus disappeared overnight, leaving no trace.
"It's so desperate to encounter such an unwarranted disaster......" Colin sighed as he leaned against his bed, looking at the smoke rising from the ruins of the town in the distance.
