Chapter 903: The Hunting Meeting (Part II)
A gloomy sight!
Leonas couldn't help frowning, as a mage, he has been very sensitive to mental training for a long time, and he always felt as if some malicious gaze was projecting here, but looking at the nearby terrain in the distance, except for a clearing not far away, it was basically bushes and woods, so there was no human figure at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, it was a luncheon, and it was a bad location.
Once as the confidant of Prince Augusta, Leonas, who had already become a level 17 mage at a young age, went to the front line more than once in the conflict between the Karlsemon Empire and the Kingdom of Kreses, and naturally had some military common sense, although the dining base selected for the hunting meeting of the Karut Kingdom this time was on the high ground, but in addition to the good scenery and wide vision, it was a very easy place to be attacked, and the surrounding woods and bushes could make it easy for the attacker to lurk very close, and if the other party launched a surprise attack, even if it was inferior in numbers, it could bring great losses to its own side。
Leonas was eager to remind Prince Andrés, but considering that this was a hunting party held by the Kingdom of Karut after all, it would be hurtful to question the insecurity of intuition without hard evidence. Therefore, Leonas can only choose to do it quietly, as a mage majoring in the wind system, detection spells are also Leonas's strengths.
On the side, Andrés was still discussing with Celine some recent topics about the changes in the world, and for some legendary existences, the prince also thought of a rumor that had recently appeared in China: "In fact, not long ago, someone in my country reported witnessing the news of a giant dragon flying from the sky. ”
"Dragon~ Is it a dragon lizard?" Celine asked lightly.
"Of course it's not a dragon lizard, Your Highness Selene! This time the eyewitness said that the other party flew from the sky, and judging from the size, it was obviously not a magical beast such as a bipedal wyvern or a griffin. Prince Andrés spoke to Celine eloquently.
There were indeed people in the kingdom of Karut who witnessed the dragon, not a person to be exact, but a group of lumberjacks who found themselves flying above their heads during a break in the forest field, and some quick-eyed workers quickly climbed to the top of the tree and successfully looked at each other's whole picture, although they had flown away, but the workers were still sure that it was indeed a creature like a dragon, and it was definitely not a small subspecies of bipedal wyvern, but some kind of larger creature whose appearance was indeed reminiscent of the legendary dragon that had disappeared for a long time。
"His Royal Highness Prince Andrés~ Isn't there anyone observing it behind?" Selene also asked with interest, it stands to reason that there is a giant dragon flying in the sky in broad daylight, and there should be many witnesses along the way, right?
Seeing that Selene seemed to be interested in this topic, Andrés also recounted it carefully in high spirits: "It's a pity that there were no witnesses later, and I don't know if the dragon bypassed the area where there were people or increased the flight altitude, but at that time, the eyewitnesses stated that the dragon seemed to have golden curved horns and a white body, and the worker who climbed the tree also bluntly said that he saw someone riding on the dragon's back." ”
"Someone is riding on the back of a dragon, is it really a dragon knight~" Selene pretended to be surprised.
Dragon Knight! Powerful brave men who control the dragon soaring in the sky, they always descend from the sky with the dragon as a companion, and the overwhelming power has eliminated all evil on the battlefield, of course, there are also knights and dragons who can incarnate into human beings will have some reverie and non-nonsense romances, the dragons who fight side by side with the brave on the battlefield usually turn into beautiful dragon girls under the battlefield, heal the wounds of the brave, soothe his tired heart, and let the brave men successfully promote to the winners of life who ride dragons during the day and are ridden at night!
But even in another world, this is a legendary profession, and it can even be said to be a legendary profession, because dragon knights have only appeared in novels, myths and poems at least so far, and in reality, the so-called dragon knights are probably only able to ride some smaller subspecies of dragons, these dragons are estimated to be only equal to beasts in the eyes of real dragons, and as for transforming into beautiful maidens to soothe the hearts of brave people, it is something that only appears in dreams.
Even if the dragon that has been respected for its strength occasionally becomes friends with some mortals, most of the dragons will not reveal their true identities, that is, it is good to have the best to talk to each other on an equal footing, mortals want to ride on the dragon and command the dragon to fight, and even let the dragon sleep after the war, don't joke, okay, let the strong surrender to the weak In the eyes of the dragon, it is simply an insult to their own identity, that is, those dragons in history who have occasionally spoiled mortals and left half-breeds are also the masters to treat each other. Even in the special era of the Dragon War, maybe the dragons will also play the role of 'transport planes' for mortals to ride on their bodies and carry out airdrops, but it is a thing that cannot be thought of to accept the command of mortals to fight as servants.
Besides, what is the use of a profession like a dragon knight?
You must know that dragons are comparable to humans, elves, Dwarves are much stronger, under the high-intensity battle between dragons and dragons, in the face of the dragon's high-temperature dragon breath of thousands of degrees, the poisonous breath that can turn a city into a ghost domain, the frost breath that can make flesh and blood instantly turn into ice crystals, and the shadow breath that can blast a mountain away, the mortal body riding on the dragon in the face of this level of attack is estimated to be dead even if it is gently scraped, and if a mortal is riding on the dragon to fight, in order to ensure the safety of the mortal on his back, the dragon may also use his own strength to protect him, so that the so-called dragon knight is not dragging the dragon under him。
In fact, as long as you think about it, you will know that the profession of dragon knight is not reliable at all, unless the dragon knight itself also has extraordinary strength or the power that surpasses the dragon, but the status of the dragon itself among the transcendent is estimated to be not much.
"There have been rumors of dragon sightings in the Kingdom of Saxony, but it was later officially confirmed to be a rumor, and I think it may be that the lumberjacks were mistaken, and maybe they mistook the rider of the subspecies of Wyvern for a dragon. Andrés said with a smile: "After all, the dragons have disappeared for so long, and everyone doesn't know what the real dragon looks like. ”
"Yes, but it can't be denied that dragons once existed, can they? Prince Andrés!" said Selene with a graceful smile.
Although many countries and aristocratic families will use the family crest to paint the dragon pattern, hoping that their family will be like the dragon, a creature that represents the pinnacle of power and power in the world, can endure, but for the dragon This creature has not been witnessed for hundreds of years on the continent, and the dragon itself is almost like a god and a demon is almost a semi-legendary species, the only difference with gods and demons is that there is still a lot of evidence about the existence of dragons in this world, such as the fragments of the language used by the legendary dragons, and the few dragon scales left are excellent evidence, and the language may not be positive, but the extremely hard dragon scales have been tested to be the scale armor of some kind of creature, not ore smelting and forging, indicating that such a powerful creature did exist in the world.
And the attack of the dragon lizard that the Karut Kingdom once received also provided favorable evidence for the existence of the dragon, because the dragon lizard that caused huge losses in the Karut Kingdom before being killed compared its scales with those remaining dragon scales came to a conclusion, as strong as the dragon lizard, a monster that needs to use the national regular army and even the magic crystal cannon to kill, its scale hardness is far inferior to these dragon scales that I don't know how long they have remained, and it is obvious that the strength of the owner of these scales itself is far above that of the dragon lizard.
But can you still find a magical beast in the world that is stronger than the dragon lizard?
Well~ There are still some!But the area where the monsters that are stronger than the dragon lizard live is probably only the endless sea that seems to have no bounds, and the deep-sea monsters in the ocean are probably indeed stronger than the dragon lizard, but the sea creatures usually do not grow this kind of hard scales that prevent them from swimming in the water because of the bad living environment, and most of the sea creatures that are even scaly are just soft scales.
And just when Celine and Prince Andrés were chatting lively, Leonas, who was quietly casting a spell, changed his face suddenly, because the information fed back by the spell found that many unknown targets were quietly gathering nearby, although they didn't know the identity of the other party, but it was certain that this could not be some kind of beast, the wolves would not run to the team that attacked hundreds of people, and the beast could not be very orderly to encircle their side.
What the hell is the Karut Kingdom doing, didn't they say that they had cleaned up the hunting grounds before the hunting party, how could there be so many people ambushed in it now!
Leonas really wanted to shout vigilance, but now it seems that the other party is still arranging an encirclement, if he shouts at this time, he may immediately attract the attention of the other party and launch a surprise attack, although the number of the other party is not as large as his own side, but as an attacker, everyone can fight, but there are too many people on this side are nobles who have no combat effectiveness, judging from the terrible archery they hunted before, unless the attacker stands in place as a target, the probability of their archery to hit the target is really not generalized, let alone in melee combat。
There are only fifty royal knights who are truly combative, and there are about a dozen magicians, but considering that the nobles who were happy to enjoy it before let the magicians support the water barrier to block the sun or use flashing magic to create a dining environment, it is unknown how much magic these mages can have left for fighting.
But we can't delay any longer!
"I'm sorry~ Prince Andrés! I suddenly have an urgent matter here that needs to be reported!" Leonas interrupted the conversation between Her Royal Highness and Prince Andrés without regard for etiquette. (To be continued.) )
