Chapter 3: Warriors and Promises

There are always some guys who are watching us, or the whole world. That's right, the old guys who have lived for thousands of years and haven't died.

- Neil Adams

Things didn't go in the bad direction Yun Lang imagined.

In fact, although there was a lot of resentment about the visit of the two of them, no one cared too much about it, and this ritual was determined by the dragon clan and continued to this day since ancient times, and no one was allowed to participate in it. Although such a thing as being late almost never happened, after all, such an important ceremony was so important that the Terrans wished they had arrived early.

In short, the ritual continued in its original order.

Lin Fan had already come down from Yun Lang's back, the healing effect of this golden divine light was extraordinary, and in just a short period of time, Lin Fan had already regained his basic ability to move. And when his body improved, he just reached a throbbing from his soul.

Yun Lang was eerily quiet, and after putting Lin Fan down, he sat cross-legged, but judging from his closed eyes and the red liuyan circulating on his body from time to time, he was not completely without gain, and the dragon power and divine light here gave him a different kind of pressure and understanding.

It was a silver young dragon, more than fifteen meters long, its wings opened more than ten meters, the silver scales flashed with golden divine light, and the two curved silver dragon horns showed the fierceness of the dragon, and the pair of white-gold dragon pupils that were very different from other dragons made him look extraordinarily handsome, and the dragon Ares-Lin Fan found him at the first time.

A man and a dragon fell into a long silence in the midst of each other's eyes.

In the divine realm left behind by the God of Contract, humans and dragons can peek into each other's inner world through the resonance of their souls, and use this as the basic criterion for the dragon to choose a contractor. And in this process, because the dragon is the leader, the dragon will often use this special soul connection as a medium to create an illusion, as a test of the knight's problem, and the knight who does not pass the test, no matter how high the soul fit with the dragon, is unlikely to be recognized by the dragon.

The chaotic brilliance filled the world in Lin Fan's eyes, and at this time, his spirit had sunk into the illusion of the dragon Ares. And when the world is at peace, the trials really begin.

As the leader of the ritual, the dragon's authority was so great that it was domineering, and at this time, Ares could not only feel Lin Fan's emotional changes and the strength of his will, but could even see the memories in Lin Fan's mind.

Alone from the protection of his parents, he only relied on his early teens to mingle with the ancient forests and Mangshan mountains full of fierce beasts, and it took less than two years to go from a fledgling hairy boy to a seasoned warrior who had fought a hundred battles. During this period, he faced a desperate situation surrounded by wolves, was once calculated by a vicious mercenary killer, and once woke up, only to find that he was in the depths of the poisonous mist swamp, captive by the nightmare demon of the subspecies, and almost became an unconscious puppet doll...... And just the day before, he experienced a bloody battle, and was attacked and hunted by the Shadow Python, if he hadn't been lucky enough to escape to the dragon's sphere of influence, he would have become a sacrifice to the python's mouth, and if he hadn't happened to meet the reclusive Yun Lang, he would still be struggling between life and death. And now, he still came here full of longing and yearning, and in the face of the existence of the dragon, even as a mortal, he was too weak, but he still calmly accepted the test.

This undoubtedly made Ares have a lot of good feelings for him in his heart, but there is never a shortage of brave and lucky people in this world, and if you want to get his recognition and affirmation, you must at least pass his test.

The pain was suddenly withdrawn from his body, but Lin Fan did not have a trace of pleasure, because this showed that the illusion of the dragon had completely closed his perception, and now what he could feel, hear, and see would be given to him by the dragon, and if he lost the initiative, he was deprived of even basic perception, which was cruel to any warrior.

Yes, warriors, not knights. For Lin Fan, the so-called perseverance and glory of a knight is just an accessory of an excellent warrior, and a real knight is just a warrior who knows what to fight for.

"Is a knight just an extension and an appendage of a warrior? ”

"That's not what I think, that's what all fighters think. How can a guy who is obsessed with the reputation of a knight become a real knight? ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of bright light that Lin Fan had to close his eyes. Then, when he opened his eyes again, the sight in front of him made his heart beat a beat slower.

The sleeping moon hung quietly above the night sky, and a silver light gradually raised its head from among the mountains. And a bloody black one-horned demon tiger was roaring and rushing towards Lin Fan.

When the stinking saliva of the Demon Tiger hit his face, Lin Fan reacted. At the last moment, Lin Fan drew his sword to block the claws of the demon tiger, and then retreated sharply, only to dodge this fatal blow.

And the Demon Tiger was unforgiving, and before his body hit the ground, a string of black lightning emitted from the Demon Horn. Lin Fan held the long sword, changed the block to split, the blue brilliance on the long sword flashed, and the lightning dissipated in the air.

And now Lin Fan is not worried about the Demon Tiger in his heart, but he is just secretly careful about the giant python hiding in the shadows.

Lin Fan was not entirely clear about the dragon Ares' intention to re-replicate yesterday's battle into the illusion, but he was faintly careful.

The One-Horned Demon Tiger itself was only a third-order peak demonic beast, and it was not a big threat to him, and in yesterday's battle, Lin Fan killed it with just one person. But the trouble is the giant python in the shadows, the aggressiveness of the demon tiger is not strong, but the natural strength of the demon beast ** makes its vitality extremely tenacious, in yesterday's battle, killing the demon tiger with one blow, Lin Fan fell into a very short period of Lingyuan recovery, but in this short moment, the giant python seized the opportunity and successfully sneaked attack. And now Lin Fan knew that the cunning python was hiding in the shadows, waiting to give him a fatal blow, but he couldn't think of anything for a while.

Time passed between the attack of the Demon Tiger and the flickering of Lin Fan, and the Moon of the Song had quietly risen, and the silver moonlight was scattered on the earth like clear water.

Lin Fan carefully observed the movement of the dense forest, and at the same time cut scars on the demon tiger's body. The black monster roared violently, and the blood-red eyes leaked a frightened color.

But the wounded beast did not flee because of this, and its attack became even more frenzied. Lin Fan's face was as usual, but he was still a little disappointed.

In the dangerous dense forest, the hunter who was seriously injured and failed to get the prey is almost equivalent to death, for humans, they are just passers-by here, even if they are injured, as long as they hide carefully, they can avoid the crisis, and for the Warcraft with a strong sense of territory, the injured Warcraft and the territory are the food for movement and the new territory.

Lin Fan slashed a sword again at the throat of the demon tiger, which was becoming more and more sluggish, and in the dazzling blue light, the demon tiger fell unwillingly, its huge body was full of deep wounds, and it twitched silently in the pool of blood.

In the quiet mountains and forests, the soft wind blew on Lin Fan with a hint of sweetness.

Lin Fan stared in one direction in the shadows, and as time passed, there was a rustling sound in the dense forest. The python flashed out of the shadows, and the snake letter was bright red.

Perhaps because of the failure of the sneak attack, the giant python looked extremely irritable, its huge body constantly swaying through the dense forest, the powerful snake tail swept like a huge scythe, and then the roar of trees breaking and falling to the ground.

Lin Fan faced the giant python that forced him to step into a desperate situation several times yesterday, and his heart was quite complicated. Although I dare not say that the form is reversed, the situation at this time is undoubtedly a hundred times better than last night.

After several probing attacks, the two sides fell into a standoff again. On the one hand, Lin Fan was extremely surprised by the effect of the illusion itself, after all, even as a mutated silver dragon, illusion magic was not a specialty, and on the other hand, he still did not know the intention of the silver dragon's test.

However, he had already lost once, Lin Fan would never want to lose again at this time, no matter what the intentions of the silver dragon were, first of all, this battle must be won.

Lin Fan's body suddenly rose a strong battle intent, on his body, the azure blue Lingyuan brilliance formed a dazzling battle suit, on it, twelve shining streamers representing the Xuan Veins continued to circulate on his torso, limbs, and on his back, as if there was an illusory bridge responding to the starry sky. The boiling blue aura brought Lin Fan infinite strength and incomparably clear and keen perception.

The giant python's body shook, and the snake's tail slashed towards Lin Fan with an incomparably sharp whistling sound. The earth cracked into a deep furrow, and on the two sharp bony horns of the giant python, the gray-white wind blade swept towards its left side like a sickle.

Lin Fan dodged the giant python's slash like lightning, and swung a dark blue sword light from the long sword, smashing the wind blade emitted by the giant python, and slashing straight towards the giant python's neck.

The horns of the giant python bone flashed, and a yellow wall of earth blocked the sword light. However, Lin Fan followed, splitting the earthen wall with a sword, and Fu Yi smashed the earth and stone under his feet with great force, and stabbed at the giant python's head fiercely.

The blue-gray vines locked Lin Fan's limbs like poisonous snakes, and the vines that brought Lin Fan's pain were made of invisible wind elementals, and the sharp needles on them were actually the rotation of the compressed wind blade.

Cold sweat broke out from Lin Fan's body, and he looked up and swept the giant python's eyes, not the familiar scarlet ferocity, but the holy and arrogant platinum majesty.

The mutated silver dragon, the controller of light and storm among the dragon clan, and now, a dragon named Ares is committed to the giant python's body, allowing Lin Fan to feel its powerful ability to manipulate the wind.

The horror faded in an instant, and at this moment, Lin Fan's ability as an excellent warrior was finally stimulated, and before the chain of wind could really form a threat, Lin Fan's spirit yuan on his limbs exploded, causing the trend of the chain tightening to stop instantly. And on Lin Fan's long sword, the azure spirit element burned like a flame, and the long sword slashed through the chains of wind on the limbs like dragonflies dotting water, and when it touched the chains of the flame spirit element, it melted like ice and snow meeting coals.

The blue yuan power that originally belonged to the wind system spirit element shrouded Lin Fan like a flame, and the young man with the sword looked directly at the strong enemy in front of him, but his heart was extremely calm.

What brought him here?

At the age of six, he bid farewell to his parents and cultivated with the Guardian Master who was known as the Blue Sword Saint in the world, and at the age of nine, he was respected by his father as the heir to the Azure Throne. And at the age of eleven, he chose to go alone in search of the true warrior's way.

Today, he came to the place that every knight, nay, every warrior yearns for, and he can still be so calm in the face of the strongest clan recognized in the world. The so-called search and dream have all turned into surging fighting spirit.

"Come on!" shouted the boy.

The unwavering and passionate Pupil of Fire tells Ares that it doesn't matter if the battle is won or lost: warriors never fight to get answers, and the real battle begins when the answers are known.

The silvery glow still shrouded the earth, but it was the real earth.

The dragon Ares looked down on the earth proudly, and the blue and white night pear blossoms were scattered in the dense forest under the ladder waterfall, and the moonlight reflected in the flowing water was as brilliant as the snow.

With a satisfied smile, Lin Fan opened his mouth to break the tranquility of parting: "Xiaolang, do you know the 'Golden Township'?"

"Well, Golden Country, also known as the City of Gold. Yun Lang still showed that childlike smile.

Lin Fan grabbed Yun Lang's hand and looked at the boundless starry sky: "One day, let's go to the Golden Country together, legend has it that there is the most beautiful scenery in the world." ”

Where will this friendship go after many years.

Will this silence be able to regain years later?

The promise of teenagers and children is always so naïve and certain, the road ahead is as beautiful and illusory as a rainbow, where fate will go with this vow, and what awaits them in the unknown.

They didn't know it, but the wish was buried in the night.
