When Sula called Aunt Nina, Uncle Lawrence, Uncle Selcy, and Uncle Steven, the elderly Dr. Oman followed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old doctor was dressed in a dark gray robe, and held a small vial of yellow potion in his hand, and of course Sonny knew what it was. She twitched and trembled as the vial was poured down her mother's throat, but she kept swallowing until Serenity returned to her emaciated body.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but this is probably the last time. When the bottle was empty, the old doctor said with tears in his eyes. The remnants of the stimulant were in sticky, yellow circles around her mother's lips, and the old doctor was wiping them with his sleeve.

Sonny couldn't stand it anymore. What a strong woman Mother was, she was a proud white dove, a bird that soared through the sky, a hero who defeated the usurper, the head of the Sisters of Volai, the legend of the richness of Assyria, the first queen in history, the greatest black magic wizard of Sumer, and my .....

"Mother?" he called softly, his voice gruffled with grief.

"I'm sorry to let you see me like this. Mira seemed to regain her old look, and her voice became strong and powerful, as if she had returned to her younger self in an instant. "Time is running out, and now, please don't interrupt me, and don't ask any questions or have any objections until I'm done. ”

Nina was the first to nod, followed by Sonny, then the crowd.

"Sonny, maybe you're the only one you don't know about here. She sat up from the bed and got up, with difficulty, but got up. "The reason why the southern expedition failed was because we came across something ancient, which should not exist in this world. She paused and looked at her son. "The dragon, the ancient dragon, has awakened. ”

Sonny thinks his mother is crazy. But he didn't interrupt, he didn't appear too surprised, but it suddenly occurred to him that when he was in the Southern Expedition Council, he followed his mother to the Northern City, and he and Horn and Sula went hunting in the Northern City Forest, where they ..... That thing really was a dragon's scale, it must be, Horn wasn't lying, he guessed the answer.

"After leaving the North City, I spent the rest of my time in the library tower. Mother turned to the crowd, "It contains almost the entire Sumerian continent of ancient books, several of which date back a thousand years. In one of the ancient books, I found information about the ancient dragon, and the record in the book was no different from what I had seen in the First Continent. The dragon had huge pupils, scales as hard as steel, it could fly, it could walk, its fangs could easily bite through any wall or tower on the continent of Sumer, and most unfortunately, it didn't seem to be out of control....."

"Controlled, it'....." Sonny was about to speak, but then shut up.

"It's just my guess, that thing should have been resurrected, not born for no reason, because dragons are extinct, a thousand years ago. She shook her head, her dark blue eyes filled with fear. "The southern expedition failed, we lost our relatives, soldiers, belongings, but compared to the evil dragon, none of this mattered, if it continues to exist in this world, you will face ..... No, what we humans face is probably destruction. ”

"Slaying a dragon is never easy, and it is impossible even with human strength, but as early as a thousand years ago, there was a wizard who sealed the last dragon in Sumer....." Mira clutched her throat and coughed a few times, and her breathing became rapid. "That book is..... Written by a bachelor, it is an account of the great wizard..... At the end of the book, it is written in ancient Sumerian language that the sorcerer, after sealing the dragon, sealed the parchment on the dragon's peak, so ....."

"You want me to go to Dragon Peak, don't you?" asked Sonny.

"Sonny, only you can accomplish this task now. Mira gasped, her features unnaturally tangled. "You were born a wizard..... There was fire in the blood..... Remember, you were never afraid of flames..... Extremely..... It doesn't hurt to even put your hand in the brazier..... I guess you're the savior of this continent..... Dragon Slayer..... Sonny ....."

Sonny stepped forward and hugged his mother, who was about to fall. "Okay, I'll find the spell to slay the dragon, and slaughter the dragon. ”

"Good boy....." Mira opened her mouth wide and gasped for air, the air filled with the bitterness of stimulants. "Nina..... Nina..... Let Lawrence ..... Accompany him to ..... Come on..... Help me take care of him..... Please....."

"Do as Your Majesty commands. Lawrence replied with a bowed head.

"Please let me ..... Stay with your son a little longer..... Just for a moment..... It's only been a while....."

Sonny heard the door shut. He hugged his mother, just as his mother hugged him when he was a child, he hoped that the warmth in his hands would not dissipate, but he gradually felt that his mother's body became heavy and lost its vitality.

"What if..... I have a pair of wings....." Mother hummed softly in his arms. "Even if it..... As small as a farrow..... I'll spread my wings too..... Fly..... to the end of the forest..... and the other side of the mountain..... I'm going to fly there..... Perched on a tree..... Moored in the ocean..... No matter how far away..... I will definitely ..... Fly there..... And then..... Whisper in your ear..... My dear..... When will I return home.....

After the voice disappeared, he gently put his mother down and knelt beside the bed to hold her hand. The hands that had been so warm before were now withered, their skin loosely covered with bones, and they had long since lost all strength. He kissed the back of her hand, got up and straightened her messy hair, and then left her in the shadow of the candlelight, and walked out of the hut alone.

The first person to see was Sula. "Aunt Mira, she ....."

"Gone, peaceful. He whispered. These words drifted in the wind, and the guards and doctors around them bowed their heads to the mulberry hut, and there was no crying, only the cry of night birds and the howling of the north wind.

"Sonny....." Nina looked at him.

"Ma'am, does she have any other last words?" said Sonny, bowing his head slightly as he descended the wooden steps.

"She wants to be buried with your father, in the North City, in the Dalton family's mausoleum. Nina replied softly, "I have promised her, the Duke of Quanti said that he can represent all the important ministers of Assyria, and now, I would like to ask your opinion." ”

"Thank you, Madame, for your generosity, everything is according to my mother's wishes. Sonny forced himself to squeeze out a smile.

"Your Majesty. The Duke of Kunti, who was nearly sixty years old, had been ill for a long time and needed help to walk, but he still knelt down before the new Assyrian king and bowed respectfully. "I would like to ask you to return to Assyria at once and take over the throne of king, Assyria needs now-"

"Uncle Quanti, I'm afraid it's not just Assyria who needs me right now. Sonny interrupted, then turned to Nina, "Ma'am, please allow Lord Selsey, Lord Lawrence, and Master Steven to follow me to the First Continent, where we need sturdy horses, water, dry food, and accurate maps. ”

"It's ready," Sersi interjected, "when are you going to go?"

"Now. He said.
