Chapter 10: So much at a cost
Suddenly there was a loud "plopping" sound from behind Richard.
"What's going on?"
"Look, everyone, there's something in the river!"
"It's the river shark, yes, it's really the river shark!"
"Did you notice, it seems to be chasing something. ”
......
Hearing the shouts of the people around him, Richard, who was mixed in the crowd, turned around and looked at the wide and mighty Cankus River behind him, just like everyone else.
I saw that in the white waves ahead, there was a huge black shadow hidden underwater, and a triangular pointed fin on the top of its back was exposed to the water, reflecting cold light like a sharp blade. As the shadow moved, the blade-like fin quickly sliced through the water, creating ripples and slicing back and forth through the vast surface of the river.
Suddenly, a dark shadow rose into the air.
A strange shark with a length of more than 20 meters suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Its stout and muscular, streamlined body reflects a dazzling metallic brilliance in the sun, as if coated with a layer of silver.
The giant shark soared to a height of fifteen or sixteen meters.
With a splash of water, after plunging into the water again, a transparent and crystalline water lotus blooms on the wide surface of the river. The white splash that had just been splashed had not yet disappeared, and the giant shark had already taken off again.
This time, though, it had something in its mouth with its fangs exposed.
Richard was shocked to see that it was actually a sharp-billed pike covered with strange bone plates, like a layer of armor.
After re-entering the water, the giant shark plunged directly into the water and re-transformed into the palpitating black shadow.
Just as the people on the bank of the river thought that this was the end of the matter, the river suddenly rumbled.
Transparent sharks made up of river water, like splashing raindrops, burst out of the river, each of which can be five or six meters long.
Many of them have the weird pike in their mouths.
Thousands of them sprang out in a row, and the whole river was soon covered with blood.
Looking at the black shadow in front of him, Richard was speechless in shock.
It's not uncommon to have sharks in freshwater, and even the earth has a strange species of bull sharks.
What really shocked him was the strange and shocking hunting methods of this giant silver shark. Even though it has been half a year, it is the first time Richard has seen such a shocking scene, like the legendary water demon appearing.
Thousands of waves of sharks continued to jump in and out, shaking the entire river, even affecting the embankment of Richard that was dozens of meters above the water.
Waves of water mixed with blood and qi rushed over and hit the sturdy river, making a splash dozens of meters high.
Those who stood guard on the river were splashed over.
Richard's shoulders, face, and hair were stained with a lot of water.
It took a long time to wake up from this shock, and Richard suddenly felt that he was very unproductive. Even the gods have seen two of him, and his current posture is exactly the same as the ordinary people around him, which is really a loss of his identity as a traverser.
"Your Highness, that silver shark should be the boiling ...... that has been passed down in the sky these days"
Following the voice, Richard looked to the left.
I saw that a large section of the river embankment more than ten meters away had been artificially vacated.
Dividing the crowd was the previous team of cunning knights who might have been in the status of the forbidden army.
At some point, a large line of lavishly decorated four-wheeled carriages had already come to their side, and were now parked on the side of the road.
Under the watchful eye of the knights on either side, a group of richly dressed men stood on the long river like him.
Richard saw that among this group of people who were not rich but noble, there was a man and a woman who actually wore a golden crown on their heads. They were very young, unusually handsome and beautiful, especially with long hair as smooth as white gold. And according to legend, one of the most prominent features of the Edo royal family is precisely it.
Thinking of the previous highness, Richard secretly said that these two people should not be princes and princesses, right?
Like Richard, after the movement of the silver giant shark died down, everyone on the embankment focused their attention on this group of visitors.
Voices like "Isn't that the hand of the dragon?", "Who is that young man", "Grant the Red Dragon is too", "You see, it's Viscount John who has a circle of barbarians around it", and the voices are endless.
Richard paid attention and heard seven or eight acquaintances.
So, Richard deliberately drilled forward, while keeping a careful eye out for the movements of these celebrities.
"The silver scales of this strange shark seem to be extraordinary. ”
"Not only that, but the bait in its mouth is also extraordinary. Two days ago, I caught one, and the bone armor was helpless even a sword made of stainless steel, and it could not be damaged easily. ”
"Listening to the people here, in the past ten days, these monsters have been one after another, and there have been more and more. ”
......
When Richard heard the words of the people here, and I said, a bad feeling came to his heart.
Suddenly, the group of big shots fell silent.
It seemed to be in the middle of the crowd, and the honorable young man who looked like a prince spoke.
"Master Turan, what do you think?"
The prince looked at the old man, dressed in a black star-dotted robe, holding a turquoise staff at the top.
"Your Highness, it is true that as I thought before, these beasts have been contaminated by a powerful elemental force. And the source of all this should be the one who has been out of the world for a long time. The old man stroked his snow-white beard, which dragged to his chest, and gradually uttered the call.
Richard saw that this old man had a white beard and white hair, and although his thin face was wrinkled, he looked very energetic, and he really looked like the legendary hidden master, similar to the one of Gandalf the Lord of the Rings and Saruman
After the old man in the robe said this, he added, "It is a well-known name among the world, and I have already told your Highness before, it is Stolas. It was defeated by the Holy Light 800 years ago, and is known as the 'Bird of Death' and the 'King of Heroic Spirits'. ”
When Richard heard this, his face was stunned.
There's a know-how.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this old man beside me is none other than Master Turan from El. When the prince heard the old man's introduction, he nodded, and saw that the people behind him had many doubts, so he put his hand on the old man's shoulders and said with a smile: "He is the one who knows the secrets of the gods best under the stars." ”
"Your Highness, it's too much praise. Turan didn't bother much, and stroked his beard, "I just know a lot about the art of sacrifice." ”
At this moment, the people gathered around them greeted the old man one after another.
Watching these big guys greet each other, Richard's nervous ears were about to stand up.
However, he was soon dumbfounded.
It's just that after some greetings, this Turan master, who looks quite remarkable, and actually estimates that he is quite remarkable, pointed to the side of the river, "I came to this city at the invitation of His Highness, and my intention is the same as that of you, just to know the identity of the person who caused all this. ”
The master went on to say, "He has spent so much to bring back the wings of the Death Divine Bird. However, choosing the place where the apostles were born was in this land under the holy light is really a great deal. ”
"At such a cost", "a great spendu"?
Hearing this, Richard's mind was full of question marks.
planted those four women, and his only effort was to eat more than half a month of black bread.
