Chapter 306: Rose Slaying the Dragon

The rainy season is coming as scheduled, and the raindrops the size of beans fall from the sky, washing everything in the world.

Only a few dozen experienced foremen braved the rain on the walls blocking the southern entrance to the Everglades, while the rest of the hired men returned to their respective houses to enjoy time with their families.

Lords do not usually gather their people for heavy outdoor labor during the rainy and snowy seasons, and these two months are natural holidays. However, there are always those who have to take on patrols and guards, especially when faced with alien threats.

More than 500 meters beyond the city walls, there is a wooden sentry station, which houses several Yorkist soldiers, all of whom are experienced scouts who specialize in monitoring movements in the Swamp.

Outside the house, it was freezing cold, the rain was urgent, and the inside of the house was warm. Several scouts sat around the brazier, laughing and laughing, when a young soldier pushed open the wooden door, and the cold wind poured into the room, causing a burst of yelling. The young soldier didn't care, closed the door at any time, sat down in front of the brazier with his face salivated, and snorted fiercely: "It's so fragrant!"

"Daniel, it's not time for a shift change yet. The scout captain glanced at the young soldier and served him a bowl of hot broth.

"Frio was staring, his eyes were the best. Daniel took the bowl and said with a grin.

"Don't be careless, the last Ant-Man invasion was also the rainy season. The captain of the scout put down the spoon and said, "After drinking, hurry up and go out to see, the firewood in the beacon tower is not wet." ”

"Head, don't worry. We wrapped it in two layers of oil canvas to ensure that it would not get wet. Another scout asked. Daniel ate the broth clean, put down the bowl, and smacked his lips with unsatisfied feelings, "It's so comfortable...... The tail meat of the six-legged crocodile is delicious. ”

"It's not your share!" said the scout captain with a squint at Daniel, "This is the last bit of six-legged crocodile, and if you want to eat it, you'll have to wait for Jack and the others to come back." ”

"We can have this blessing thanks to Jack. Daniel took his eyes off the soup pot and said with a dry smile: "Next time, I will also go to the swamp with Jack to investigate, and I always eat their prey for nothing, and I always feel that I can't go." ”

The guard post was not at the forefront of the reconnaissance, and the Yorks took on the responsibility of defending against Ant-Man, and the fledgling Randall took the initiative to send a scout team to the Swamp to spy on the enemy. Jack is the leader of the Randall Scouts, and he and his men are said to be mountain people who were rescued by Lord Nelson, so they retain their quiet temperament, and are accustomed to using gestures to communicate when hunting, or mimicking animal calls. These people don't talk much, and they come from humble backgrounds, and the scouts of the York family were originally looked down upon, but they follow the tradition of mutual help among the mountain people, and every time they come back from a mission, they always leave some prey for the sentry, and they are all swamp game that is rare to see. Over time, the two became acquainted, at least that's what the scouts of the York family thought, and Jack was too silent.

"If you really want to go, Jack won't take you. The scout captain fiddled with the charcoal, waited for the flames to rise, put down the tongs, and said, "Jack, they went on their first mission, 14 people, and came back, and 7, and the second time, 12 people, and 7 people, and the third time they went to 11 people, and they came back 8, and they haven't died since." If you look at the prey they brought back, first the mud shrimp, the mud turtle, then the capybara, the elk, and now the six-legged crocodile and the giant cockroach...... To be honest, none of us can cooperate with them, and going can only be a drag. ”

"The head is right. A lean scout nodded, "Jack, they're really savages, and I haven't seen them cry when their companions die......," the scout captain said, "Mountain warriors think that hunting and being hunted are the same thing, and it's not worth crying." When they open up a new hunting ground, someone will die, and when the environment and the habits of the beast are familiar, the new hunting ground will be theirs. ”

"Lord Viscount Randall is really ...... Hehe, let Jack send them to death without frowning his eyebrows. Daniel said with some indignation. The scout captain stared at him for a long time, until Daniel's expression became unnatural, and then he said, "Fortunately, everyone is brothers, and if you talk about the viscount behind your back, if the master knows about it, you will inevitably be whipped." ”

Daniel remembered that Lord Fenex smiled at Viscount Randall, and immediately shrunk his neck, and said with a dry smile: "All brothers, all brothers...... Everyone laughed, and seized this opportunity to knock Daniel's wine before stopping. The scout captain also smiled reservedly: "Jack, they are good, but they are from a bad background, and some things have to be done by them." A sense of pride arose, and everyone nodded, "We are the ...... of the York family that has been inherited for thousands of years," and as they were laughing, the barking of the Sutter Hound and the whistle of the representative of the urgent need for help suddenly came from outside the door.

"Let's go!" the scout captain picked up a wooden torch and rushed out, and the others lit their own torches to follow the captain. Outside the house, the rain was dampling, and the captain asked loudly, "What's going on?" Scout Frio spat out the whistle in his mouth, pointed not far away, and shouted, "Jack is back...... Alone!"

The scouts' faces changed dramatically, and when they looked around, they saw a sturdy figure in the rain walking towards them. The captain handed the torch to Forio and rushed into the rain alone, and he ran close to find that it was Jack.

"Jack, what about the others?"

Jack shook off the arm that grabbed his shoulder, and said flatly, "I met a monster and ran away." The captain's face turned pale and he asked nervously, "Is it Ant-Man?"

"It's not. Jack shook his head, and the captain breathed a sigh of relief, but Jack's next words alerted him again.

"A two-headed lizard that I have never seen before, twenty meters long. ”

The two-headed lizard, can't it be an alien creature, right? The scout captain was secretly excited, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the sentry first." ”

It didn't take long for the news of the discovery of a suspected alien creature in the Swamp to Baron Fennicos's ears. That afternoon, Viscount Randall and Baron Fenice, led by the Scout Captain and Jack, went deep into the Everglades, where they saw the monster with their own eyes.

So, a red-eyed crow flew to Jinshui City with conclusive news.

Ten days later, Sylvia arrived at Nicole's makeshift hunting camp in the Everglades with a group of men, and the first thing she said to Victor was, "Is it still there?"

At this time, the light rain was clear, the cold wind suddenly stopped, and the sun cast a few pillars of light through the gaps in the clouds, gilding the dark clouds. Dressed in delicate and delicate Mithril armor, Sylvia's blonde hair shone brighter than the sun, and her pure blue eyes sparkled with brilliance. Victor knew that Sylvia's eyes only sparkled when she was excited. Sylvia was not the only one who was excited, but the four great knights who came with her, Viscount Gilles, Viscount Fred, Baron Bruce, Nicole's teacher, Baron Trisley, as well as Master Scholars Edwin and Tacitus, and the resident priest of Goldwater, Pastor Conley, surrounded Victor and Nicole, and all of them pricked up their ears.

"Yes!" Victor nodded, and after speaking, he greeted his acquaintances one by one, and then pulled Sylvia aside and whispered, "Honey, why did you bring Edwin and Master Tacitus here, this monster is very dangerous, if they have a mistake, what can they do?"

The corners of Sylvia's mouth raised slightly, and before she could speak, Edwin pulled Master Tacitus and hurried over, "Victor boy, I heard it all. Giant alien creatures are rare to see in a hundred years, and alienated dragon lizards are even more unheard of, how can we miss such a strange thing?"

Victor smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect the old man to have such bright ears, but he didn't know that Edwin was proficient in lip language. Sylvia greeted Master Tacitus with her head on the jaw and introduced to Victor, "Master Tacitus is the top apothecary, proficient in the cultivation of alienated war beasts, with the help of the master, we will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Master Edwin exclaimed, "Isn't it? The Alien Rats we caught in the Swamp last time can't breed war beasts. Tacitus also laughed at my lack of learning, saying that the alienated rat was malnourished ......" Tacitus said reservedly: "The normal alienated rat should be the same size as the war horse, and the alienated rat you captured is only the size of a forest leopard, which is obviously not enough to be alienated." Moreover, two alien creatures were found in the same area...... I've never heard of anything like this. After a pause, he asked again, "Lord Randall, did you just think that so many high-ranking knights would not be able to protect us two old men?

Both Victor and Nicole were stunned by the monster. The young and beautiful Knight Trisley walked over with her disciple and said, "Nicole, let me introduce you." ”

"Yes. Nicole curtsied to Sylvia and Master Scholar, and said in a coquettish voice: "That monster was discovered first by Victor's scouts, it lives in the lake in front, we lured it out with blood food, and found that it was more than twenty meters long with head and tail, about five meters high, and its size was comparable to that of a dragon, with two dragon lizard heads, front and rear limbs, and a pair of huge pelvic fins under its abdomen, and barbs on its back and tail. It looks bulky, but it's actually moving amazingly fast......" Nicole said with trepidation, "It's faster than me, but luckily we have prepared a lot of wild boars in advance, so I just need to run faster than the wild boars." ”

"It's no wonder. Tacitus pondered for a moment and said, "That alien rat probably sneaked underground to avoid the alienated dragon lizard, and you happened to pass by there, and it couldn't resist the desire to eat, so it jumped out and attacked you. Because it is not completely alienated, it cannot breed alienated war beasts. ”

Edwin's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "In other words, alien creatures can sense the breath of their own kind?"

"That's the most plausible explanation!"

"We always thought that alienated creatures were bloodthirsty and brainless, but we didn't expect them to be able to sense their own kind...... This is a new discovery, and it needs to be further verified!"

"I'm afraid it's hard...... The key is whether this discovery has any effect on the alienated war beast...... If ......"

The two Master Scholars talked endlessly, and Father Conley joined in.

The whole thing is off track.

Human beings are accustomed to using their own concepts to make up for unknown phenomena, and the more knowledgeable experts and scholars are, the more difficult it is to jump out of the inherent thinking limitations. To put it bluntly, it doesn't open your mind.

Victor was secretly amused, and Sylvia rolled her eyes and asked, "You fought it?"

"Hmm!" Victor nodded and said solemnly, "This monster has the dynamic vision and lightning reflexes of a swamp dragon lizard, and also has a high elemental resistance, and its regeneration ability is jaw-dropping, I shot it blind in both eyes, and it only took half a day to recover." Honey, you must not be careless......"

"You didn't scare it away, did you?" said Sylvia, her hair ruffled and looked at Victor steadily.

"Uh...... How is that possible?" Seeing Sylvia's eager look, Victor was a little angry. These days, the alchemy militia throws wild boars on the shore from time to time, and Itugos has blood to eat, but it has been wandering around. Although Victor wants to use Silvia's power to get rid of the monster, he doesn't want anything to happen to Silvia.

"That monster won't leave the big lake in front of it for a while, and it's not something that the knight's strength can deal with...... Didn't I ask you to prepare a few small bed crossbows?" Victor unconsciously used a questioning tone, Sylvia pursed her crystal red lips, and said, "It will take at least ten days to transform the bed crossbow, it's too slow." ”

"Aren't we humanoid bed crossbows?" said Viscount Fred York, smiling, holding a 2.4-meter-long iron spear the size of a baby's arm. "Within seventy meters, the power of our Earth Knight's spear is not much worse than that of a bed crossbow, and if Father Conley blesses us with divine magic, the effective range can be increased to one hundred meters. ”

At this time, the three earth knights each fiddled with two identical iron spears, and the knights behind them held a large one, and it was obvious that the great knight threw the spears far faster than the bed crossbow fired. Victor secretly regretted that he should have called Nelson last time, but his strength was enough, but he was probably not as good as the big knight.

"I can shoot the monster in four eyes first, and then you can shoot its head with an iron spear, and you'll be foolproof. Victor said.

"Let's see. Sylvia stepped forward, followed by the others.

The lake is dark green and chilly. Sylvia stared at the quiet and deep surface of the lake, and asked casually, "Where is it?" Nicole waved her hand, and hundreds of strong soldiers dragged the boar to the lake, where they first drove it into the ground with iron stakes, and then tied the boar's hind legs to the stakes. More than forty wild boars struggled and howled, but could not free themselves from the ropes. The soldiers poured the blood prepared in advance into the lake and quickly evacuated.

It wasn't long before a huge shadow appeared on the surface of the lake, and when it leaped out of the water, it crashed like a waterfall down its back full of bone spurs. The vicious and ferocious beast appeared in front of everyone, and the two master scholars, Edwin and Tacitus, involuntarily leaned forward, wanting to take a closer look, but were stopped by several knights.

Itugos found a lot of prey on the shore, but devoured the nearest boar first. Victor took out the shortbow and said, "Let me see its lightning bolt and dynamic vision." As he spoke, he shot five arrows in succession, and the rope broke, and the five wild boars that had regained their freedom immediately fled desperately, and the moving prey attracted the attention of the giant beast, and the two dragon lizards struck their heads in tandem, and a series of deafening roars sounded in the air, and the five wild boars disappeared.

The thunderous attack made the Great Knight's expression heavy, and Trisley sighed and asked Sylvia, "I think Victor's suggestion is correct. ”

Sylvia didn't look back, and asked lightly, "Master Tacitus, are the eyes of this giant beast valuable?"

Tacitus thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Your Royal Highness, if according to Viscount Randall, the regenerative ability of this giant beast has far surpassed that of the swamp dragon lizard, the dragon lizard's eyes have always been the main material of the regeneration potion, as for whether its eyes can concoct extraordinary regeneration potion, I can't be sure. But I sincerely beg you, don't risk it!"

Sylvia stared at the alienated dragon lizard that was eating, and sighed, "Such a giant beast should have its own name. ”

"Itugos. ”

"Itugos?" Sylvia smiled at Victor, "Honey, you were the first to spot this two-headed dragon lizard and deserve to name it. ”

"It's called Itugos, the drake Itugos!"

"Don't risk it, dear. It's not worth ......," Victor said in a deep voice, and was about to raise his hand to shoot Itugos in the eye, but Sylvia held it down, "Dear Victor, you lack confidence in me. She then asked her close friend, "Trisley, how long do you think it will take me to hunt Itugos?"

Trisley said coldly, "It can bite you in the blink of an eye, and it won't take you too long to kill it." ”

"That's true. Sylvia nodded and said to everyone, "Itugos's power is far beyond the knights' match, it has the dynamic vision and lightning reflexes of the dragon veins, as well as the talents of extraordinary regeneration and elemental resistance, it seems to be incomprehensible, but in fact, it is not as threatening as the manticore-tailed sphinx to the knights. It's strong but crude, its attack speed is lightning fast but lacks variety, and its weaknesses are almost obvious. ”

"The Void Element can not only severely damage opponents, let me show you the correct way to use the Void Element today!" Sylvia pulled out a pure gold long sword, the body of which was no more than two fingers, as thin as a cicada's wing, and extremely sharp. She turned and walked towards the two-headed dragon lizard, her posture graceful and graceful, as if she were walking in the courtyard rather than killing a powerful enemy.

Itugos saw a small prey approaching, opened its bloody mouth, and bit down carelessly, Sylvia was a little more delicate, and jumped on the back of its neck, and with a stroke of the long sword, Itugos's head was suddenly paralyzed in the mud, but its other head did not hesitate to launch a lightning bite, and a thunderclap sounded in the air, and the terrifying lizard's head turned into a blur, hitting the culprit who hurt itself. With Victor's eyesight, he could only see a rough idea, in terms of absolute speed, Itugos's attack had surpassed his apocalypse, however, Sylvia's whole body was full of blue light, as if it had lost its weight, like blue catkins, flying upwards with the violent air current, lingering around Itugos's neck, and the next moment, the sword light was like water, and Itugos's mountain-like body collapsed.

Sylvia stood on Itugos's head with her sword, unbelievably bright.

"Are you dead?" Master Edwin asked uncertainly, breaking the silence first. Although the beast's body no longer moved, its bloody eyes still opened and closed, and its ribcage continued to rise and fall.

"Not dead. Its cervical vertebrae were severed. Victor exhaled heavily, Sylvia had just skillfully applied the characteristics of the Void Wind Element, defeating the big with the small and the fast with the light, and the demeanor of the two swords to defeat the enemy was admirable.

Itugos's strength far exceeds that of the Golden Knight, but its physical strength is not as strong as the Silver Ant-Man, Sylvia has insight into its weaknesses, and with the inner strength of the knight alone, she uses a thin sword to cut off the cervical vertebrae along the gap in the neck bone, paralyzing it with an understatement, thanks to the spirit scan of the Divine Knight, which no one can copy, but her tactics of avoiding reality and fiction have taught Victor a lesson.

Father Conley stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to Your Highness, may Your Highness sing the epic of the good name of the two swords and dragons." ”

Sylvia flicked her sword and said with a smile, "The dragon slay is still far away, but Itugos's head is worth being included in the Rose Manor." ”

"Your Highness, you should hang the head of the dragon beast on the gate of the Black Castle for people to see. Viscount Gilis knelt on one knee with his greatsword in his hand and shouted, "Do I have the honor to cut off the head of Itugos for you and make it into a specimen?"

"Viscount Girris, please do it. Sylvia agreed, and Gilis slashed Itugos's head with a sword along the wound, blood gushing out of his neck, and the soldiers of the House of York stepped forward and dipped their fingers in blood on their foreheads as a sign of glory. Master Tacitus also took a little blood, placed it in a crystal bottle containing a clear potion, and shook it gently. The potion gradually turned into a crystal clear turquoise, and Master Edwin exclaimed, "Green of Life!

Tacitus also muttered excitedly: "The dragon vein alien beast that I have never seen before, the green of life that I have never seen." ”

"Master, what does that mean?" asked Sylvia.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the York family will have their own alienated war beasts, and it is very likely to have a regeneration talent, although it is not as good as the regeneration effect of the swamp dragon lizard, but it must surpass the healing ability of other alienated war beasts. Tacitus stared at the crystal bottle and said, "The color is so pure, I estimate that it can be cultivated in twenty years at most, maybe even less, after all, this is an alienated flesh and blood that has never been seen before." I think the royal families must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy the flesh and blood of Itugos from the House of York. ”

"You know, it's impossible. Trisley said coldly.

"I lost my words. Tacitus shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Sylvia said, "Master, please help us choose the mother of the war beast and design the cultivation method, I will be very grateful." ”

"It's my pleasure. Tacitus gave a solemn salute, and the knights of the House of York were all smiling, and the alienated war beast could ensure the prestige of a family for hundreds of years. Sylvia walked up to Victor and said softly, "My dear, I will ask the best master leathersmith to customize a dragon lizard leather armor for you...... I can't give you the flesh and blood of Itugos, but I promise you, you'll have what House York has. At this time, Sylvia's face was peachy, and she was stunningly beautiful, and she was obviously extremely happy.

"It's good if you're happy. ”

Victor shrugged his shoulders indifferently, the weakened version of the alienated war beast is comparable to the alchemy dragon lizard, not to mention that he also has Imerson, a national treasure-level wizard, even the original alienated beast he can cultivate. Sylvia's eyes fluttered, and she bit her red lip lightly, "Honey, I have something important to talk to you about, let's go to Silvermoon Manor first." ”

"It's fine. Victor nodded, and saluted the others: "Excellencies, I will go first, I will set up a dinner party in Silvermoon Manor to celebrate your achievements." ”

Everyone saluted in return, and Nicole wanted to follow, but was dragged by Trisley, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her teacher when she saw Victor and Sylvia walking away. Trisley gritted her teeth angrily and scolded in a low voice: "What are you thinking? Letter from the Holy See, the Pope has indicated that he wants to visit the Randall family. ”
