Chapter 5: The Dragon Knight

Since the merger of the Immortal Fantasy Continent and the Magic Continent, the martial arts and Taoism of the East and the fighting spirit and magic of the West have collided fiercely.

In the early days, in the great confrontation between Chinese and Western cultivators, the power of Dao and magic was undoubted, and every slightly accomplished cultivator and mid-level and above magician had super terrifying strength. They can directly manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth, a cultivator can deal with dozens of Western warriors, and a magician above the middle level can also deal with dozens of Eastern warriors.

However, the number of cultivators and magicians is scarce, and the cultivation of Taoism, or the study of magic, is extremely demanding on people's physique, so Taoism and magic cannot be popularized on a large scale. In addition, cultivators are mostly far away from the world and rarely appear in front of the world, so cultivators are the most mysterious in the eyes of people. In the process of cultivation, a magician needs a lot of expensive magic materials, so if you want to become a magician, you can't do without money.

Cultivating Eastern martial arts or Western fighting spirit, although there are also requirements for physical fitness, but it is not harsh, ordinary people can cultivate, but due to different physiques, there will naturally be significant differences in achievement. Comparatively speaking, martial artists who cultivated physical arts were inferior to cultivators and magicians, unless they fought in close quarters, otherwise these martial artists were not at all the opponents of cultivators who directly manipulated the vitality of heaven and earth.

Of course, nothing is absolute, there are some people among the Eastern Martial Artists who can cultivate them to an extremely high and profound realm, and any cultivator will have a headache when they see this kind of powerful Eastern Martial Artist.

Moreover, there are occasional people among the Eastern Martial Artists who can cultivate a world-shattering skill, and their super terrifying strength can be described as invincible in the world, which is a nightmare for all cultivators. But as we all know, the progress of martial arts is slow, and the kind of world-famous martial artists who can cultivate martial arts to the extreme realm are rare to see for hundreds of years, so martial arts are gradually declining.

Like the Eastern martial artists, although the Western martial artists who practiced physical arts were numerous, their average strength was far inferior to that of cultivators and magicians. However, there are some special cultivators among these martial artists, whose super strength is by no means weaker than that of cultivators and magicians, and these people are the dragon knights in the eyes of the world.

To become a dragon knight, you must first tame a dragon of your own.

Of course, dragons are also strong and weak, and the dragons in the west can be divided into earth dragons, flying dragons, wurm, giant dragons, and holy dragons according to their weakness, and there are also five levels, which just correspond to the fifth-order cultivators on the mainland, so there are also fifth-order dragon knights such as earth dragon knights, flying dragon knights, wulong knights, giant dragon knights, and holy dragon knights.

It can be seen that if you want to become a dragon knight, you must reach the rank realm, and you must tame a dragon that matches its realm. Therefore, dragon knights are all strong, and in a sense, the reason why dragon knights want to use dragons as mounts is to prove that they have strong strength.

In the Western Continent, the number of dragon knights is scarce, and the holy dragon knights are even rarer, but the dragon knights who have reached this realm all have superb, terrifying strength, even the magicians and cultivators who have achieved cultivation do not dare to easily take advantage of them.

After Chen Nan returned to the Qishi Mansion from the Royal Ancient Book Library, he remembered the trip to the underground tomb just now, and he was still a little afraid.

"This old man is really incomprehensible, he didn't kill me, but I'd better leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible......

Through this incident, he now finally understands the old saying: "There are people outside of men, and there are heavens outside of heaven." That old man looked old and weak on the outside, but he was a peerless master with terrifying cultivation, this was another fifth-order cultivator he had seen after Zhuge Chengfeng, and he might even have surpassed the fifth-order.

"The kid is a nymphomaniac again, it's really useless!" The old poisonous monster put his hands on the courtyard wall and looked at him.

"Damn, perverted old man, you're spying on me again!" Chen Nan walked out of the house.

"It's better to act if you are excited, let's go, let's go see your cold water together." 」

"You ......" Thinking of Nalan Ruoshui, Chen Nan hesitated for a while, if he left like this, I am afraid that he would never see her in the future.

"Oh, I forgot, it's Ruoshui, hehe......" The old monster looked like a hippie smile.

If Chen Nan hadn't taken care of the old man's poison, he would have really wanted to beat him.

The old poisonous monster smiled and said, "A dragon knight came to Qishi Mansion today, and many people have gone to see his dragon, your Ruoshui originally wanted to go with you to see it, but you weren't there, so she went first. Let's go, let's join in the fun. 」

The dragon knight is synonymous with the strong, and the dragon is a powerful and mysterious creature.

Today's Qishi Mansion is different from the previous peace, the gladiatorial arena in the mansion is full of people, and even the old witch, who is rarely seen on weekdays, has given up her "great magical research career" and came here.

It was the first time for Chen Nan to see so many strange people gathered together, most of them were powerful cultivators, and of course there were researchers like the old poison monster who had outstanding talents in a certain field. Most of these people were over thirty years old, and there were only three or five young people like him who were about twenty years old, so he quickly discovered Nalan Ruoshui.

Nalan Ruoshui was dressed in aqua blue clothes, like an empty valley orchid, elegant and ethereal, indifferently dusty. After she saw Chen Nan and the old poisonous monster walk into the gladiatorial arena, a faint smile appeared on her quiet face.

Chen Nan beckoned to her: "Ruoshui ......"

The old poisonous monster shouted beside him: "Ruoshui, I am here, and I will not see you for half a day, like a ...... every other autumn."

Chen Nan stepped on the old man's feet hard, and the old man heard a pig-like scream, attracting a burst of sideways glances from everyone.

Nalan Ruoshui smiled and said, "Chennan, why are you walking so carelessly!"

The old monster cried, "He's not careless, he's heart-to-heart. 」

Nalan Ruoshui ignored him and continued to say to Chennan: "Next time, if the ground is uneven, use more force to avoid falling down. 」

Old Monster: "......"

Seeing Chen Nan and Nalan Ruoshui walking towards the field together, the old poisonous monster shouted indignantly, "Cross the river and tear down the bridge......

In the center of the arena lurked a huge and fierce creature, a dark green scale armor that shimmered and terrifying. Needless to say, this is the dragon of the Dragon Knight. The dragon's body is about seven zhang long, with two horns on its head and a pair of huge fleshy wings on its abdomen, which looks quite fierce.

Next to the dragon stood a tall young man, handsome in appearance, with a burly body, and a sturdy physique full of explosive power and a masculine beauty.

A hint of strangeness appeared on Nalan Ruoshui's face, and he said, "See, this person is the dragon knight, he is the son of the great general Sima Changfeng, named Sima Lingkong, he has been cultivating with masters in the Western Continent for ten years, and now he has returned from his studies. Now he has been canonized as a Qishi by the emperor, and today he officially moved into the Qishi Mansion. 」

Chen Nan nodded and said, "Oh, it's so big, well, do you still use the canonization of Qishi?"

"Of course, every wizard enjoys the treatment of a national warrior, how can he not be canonized. As he spoke, Nalan Ruoshui glanced at him and said, "Of course you are an exception, you are a hermit, but ...... Alas, you ...... Even if there is no enviable glory of the countryman, at least there is a strong strength......" In the end, she was a little sad.

Chen Nan didn't notice Nalan Ruoshui's strange appearance, but his heart was also a little sour, he was about to leave here, and he might never see this beautiful and famous doctor, but here and now, he couldn't say anything.

Nalan Ruoshui said, "Look, this dragon is really powerful, I have never seen such a large and powerful creature. 」

"Mighty? No matter how I look at it, I think it looks like a big-bellied lizard with wings. 」

"Flutter," Nalan Ruoshui laughed.

"Oh my God, what kind of vision do you have, it's a dragon!"

Chen Nan said: "Last time I saw a green dragon in the western border mountain range, it was thirty zhang long, and compared to that green dragon, this dragon is simply a dragon grandson and a baby dragon. 」

"Is it, really that big?" Nalan Ruoshui had a puzzled look on her face.

"Quack, this kid is right, what he saw was a dragon, and the dragons were all over thirty feet long. It's just a normal wyvern, a little more advanced than a flightless earth dragon. The old witch didn't know when she came behind Chennan and the others.

Chennan turned around and said hello to the terrifying neighbor.

The old witch nodded, and then said, "The dragons in the west are divided into five ranks, in order, the earth dragon, the flying dragon, the wurm, the giant dragon, and the holy dragon. Except for the earth dragons who can't fly, the rest of the fourth-order dragons can fly. The length of the earth dragon is about five zhang, the length of the flying dragon is about seven zhang, the length of the wulong is between fifteen and twenty zhang, and the length of the giant dragon is at least thirty zhang or more. As for the holy dragon, I haven't seen it either, but I've heard that the holy dragon is a rare and peculiar dragon, and its great strength is not necessarily proportional to the size of its body. 」

Nalan Ruoshui smiled, "The magic mother-in-law is really knowledgeable. 」

"Quack, anyway, I've been in the Western Continent for a while, if I don't even know this, won't I be laughed at. However, your girl's mouth is really sweet, it's so cute, it's much better than Chu Yu's little girl, and that little girl wants to run away when she sees me. 」

The dragon knight Sima Lingkong in the field was explaining something to the onlookers, and everyone listened with relish. At this time, the little princess Chu Yu suddenly appeared with a thief's brain, and she kept looking at the center of the field, as if she was looking for someone.

Chen Nan and Nalan Ruoshui glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile.

The old witch snorted angrily, "This dead girl, am I really that terrible? Every time I come to the Qishi Mansion, I sneak around, hmph, I'm really angry!"

After scouting the "enemy situation", the little princess let out a sigh of relief, and ran to the center of the field like a lively elf.

"Sima Lingkong, after coming back, I dare not go to this princess to report!"

When everyone saw this beautiful little devil, they all had a smile on their faces, but Sima Lingkong, who was originally full of energy, suddenly wilted like a deflated ball.

"Hello, Your Highness Princess. 」

The little princess's brutal nature was fully revealed, and she said, "Several people who went to the Western Continent to cultivate, after they came back, they all came to me to report, but you didn't go, saying, didn't you prepare a gift for me?" 」

As soon as he heard this, Sima Lingkong's face turned green at that time, and he smiled bitterly: "Princess Yu, this is my mount, the gift I prepared for you is still at home, and it will be sent in a while." 」

Chen Nan finally understood the meaning of the words "famous" in the imperial capital, and whoever saw her had a headache. It can be imagined how the tragic childhood of these noble children in the imperial capital was spent.

"So, you don't want to give me this dragon?"

"It's not...... This ......"

The little princess snorted and said, "Stingy, don't worry, I don't want such a small and ugly monster, I have seen many dragons in the Western Mountains than you. 」

Sima Ling wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "This is just a flying dragon, of course not as big as those giant dragons. 」

The little princess said, "Is this dragon obedient, can I fly to the sky on it?"

"Absolutely. 」

"Great!" the little princess immediately showed excitement on her face.

Sima Ling patted the flying dragon in the air and said, "When you fly up for a while, be more stable, you know?"

The wyvern nodded humanly.

Everyone was amazed.

The little princess was also a little surprised, and said, "He can understand human speech. 」

"Of course, dragons are intelligent creatures, and although they are only a second-order wyvern, they can also understand some simple human language. 」

The little princess climbed on the dragon's back excitedly.

At this time, the old witch was behind the crowd and shouted, "Yu'er, if you want to fly, you can learn magic from me, you see how easy it is, why do you want to ride someone's dragon." With that, the old witch floated up and came to the center of the field.

The moment the little princess saw the old witch, her face changed greatly, but soon a sweet smile appeared on her face again.

"Hello mother-in-law, I have something to do, I'm going back to the palace. With that, she quickly slid off the dragon's back and emerged out of the crowd like a loach.

The onlookers looked at each other, and finally burst into laughter.

The old witch cried out, "The little girl wants to run and come back when she sees me. She recited a spell and quickly chased after her wind swaying technique.

The little princess's voice came from afar: "No, I'm really going back to the palace......

......

The little princess was still caught in the end, pouting, but she didn't dare to attack.

Chen Nan saw her embarrassed look, couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately laughed.

Nalan Ruoshui pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Don't laugh, don't you see that others are putting up with it, if you are seen by the little girl, you will be miserable then." 」

Of course, Chennan knew the demonic nature of the little princess, and when the little princess looked at him, he immediately stopped laughing.

The old witch smiled and said, "Quack, don't be upset, many people want to beg me to teach him, but I don't teach, don't you want to fly into the sky, I can give you a hand!"

The old witch cast a spell, and a curtain of aqua blue light surrounded the little princess, causing her to float into the air.

"Isn't it fun? As long as you learn from me, you can do it. 」

Although the little princess showed an excited look on her face, she shook her head resolutely after hearing the old witch's words.

The old witch immediately stopped the transmission of magical energy, and the little princess screamed and fell from the air, until she was about to fall to the ground, only to be held up by a soft light, but the little face was already white with fright.

Chen Nan finally understood why the little princess was so afraid of the old witch, and at the same time understood why she didn't want to worship the old witch as a teacher.

At this time, Sima Ling stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen the magic mother-in-law. 」

"Well, excuse me. The young man is good, he has his own dragon at a young age. 」

Sima Ling said: "The seniors are too prestigious, and the juniors are far behind the seniors. When the predecessors cultivated in the Western Continent, their prestige spread far and wide, and there are still people mentioning you. 」

The old witch quacked and laughed, "You are already very good, it is estimated that among the younger generation, you are already considered a strong person, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely become a fourth-order dragon knight in the future." 」

The old poisonous monster didn't know when he ran behind Chen Nan and Nalan Ruoshui again, and he muttered in a low voice, "This dead old woman is so shameless, look at her smug look, I really don't know what kind of shit luck she took with that great magician certificate." However, this kid full of muscles is really strong, and being able to become a Wyvern Knight is not easy at his age. 」

Chen Nan nodded in agreement, he had already felt the powerful power of Sima Lingkong's body, and the second-order Flying Dragon Knight really lived up to his reputation.

The little princess took advantage of the old witch's words to stand up and sneak out of the crowd.

After a while, the old witch suddenly found that the little princess was gone, and in a fit of rage, she continued her "great magical research enterprise".

At this time, Sima Lingkong suddenly spotted Nalan Ruoshui, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked through the crowd of people watching the flying dragon and walked over.

"If the water is here, if you want to see the dragon, I'll just take it to your house. 」

At this time, Chen Nan suddenly felt that his right hand was tight, and he was grabbed by Nalan Ruoshui's soft little hand.

"No, I'm just accompanying Chennan to take a look. 」

Sima Lingyun's eyes shot out two cold bolts, he looked at the hands held by the two, then looked at Chen Nan, and said, "Who is he?"

Nalan Ruo said quietly, "He is someone I can trust for life. 」

Chen Nan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Nalan Ruoshui obviously knew this muscular man for a long time, and he was obviously using him as a shield, and he had a feeling that he was being used.

Sima Lingkong's eyes were about to erupt with fire, he stared at Chen Nan viciously, and said, "Boy, you go aside, this is a matter between me and Ruoshui, I hope you don't get involved in it." 」

The old poisonous monster standing behind Chen Nan said, "Young people don't talk so impulsively, if you have something to say, you have something to say. 」

At this time, the strange people who were watching the flying dragon noticed the anomaly here and turned their heads to look here.

Nalan Ruoshui said, "Let's go. 」

She took Chennan's hand and walked out of the gladiatorial arena.

Sima Lingkong was furious, rushed to the two of them at once, and said angrily: "Ruoshui, I hope you pay attention, you are now my fiancΓ©e, don't pull and pull with others, this will not only insult my family's style, but also your family's style." 」

Nalan Ruoshui said angrily: "Nonsense, who is your fiancΓ©e? Please respect yourself, don't talk about it, get out of the way!"

She pushed Sima Volley away with one hand, and pulled Chen Nan out with the other.

Chen Nan was very unhappy in his heart, he wanted to shake off Nalan Ruoshui's hand, but he hesitated for a moment and finally did not take action.

The wizards in the gladiatorial arena were talking.

Sima Ling stood in place for a while, a sneer on the corner of his mouth and chased after him.

After Nalan Ruoshui and the two ran out of the gladiatorial arena, they went straight to Chennan's courtyard.

In front of Chennan's courtyard gate, Sima Lingkong chased after him and said, "Ruoshui, why is this? You know, I like you." It won't be long before my father will go to your house to propose, how can you be with someone who has nothing to do with you now?"

Nalan Ruoshui said: "If you die of this heart, I won't marry you. 」

"You......" A hint of fierceness flashed in Sima Lingkong's eyes, and said, "Okay, you are really good at it, hmph, when the time comes, your father agrees, I see if you marry or not." 」

His eyes flashed fiercely, and he said to Chen Nan: "Boy, did you take what I just said as a deaf ear, I told you to stay away, did you hear me?

Chen Nan's heart was already very unhappy, and when he heard this, he suddenly became angry, and the family heirloom Xuangong that he forcibly suppressed couldn't help but surge, and a powerful momentum erupted from him.

Nalan Ruoshui was afraid that Sima would make a move on Chen Nan in the air and blocked in front of him. At the same time, the warriors sent by the eldest princess to guard Hou Yi's bow sensed a powerful power fluctuation, and seven figures appeared in front of the three of them in an instant.

Chen Nan secretly screamed ashamed, blaming himself for being too impulsive, he quickly restrained his skills, and his powerful aura disappeared in a flash.

Several people in the field were suspicious for a while, and Nalan Ruoshui and several warriors finally believed that the compelling killing intent was Sima Volley's explosion. However, Sima Lingkong thought that the powerful momentum came from these warriors in front of him, because at this moment, Chen Nan did not have the slightest power fluctuation, no matter how he tried, he couldn't feel the aura of a cultivator in his body.

Sima Ling sneered, "Boy, are you a man?

Chen Nan glanced at him coldly and said, "What are you barking at? People don't like you at all, and you have to stalk and fight, it's really shameless." 」

Sima Lingkong laughed angrily: "Hehe, you guy who eats soft rice, if I don't break your body to pieces, I will ......."

"Enough, Sima Lingkong, you are not finished, you are rude here, I will go to Your Majesty to sue you. Nalan Ruoshui's face turned pale, and he lost his former calmness at this time.

"What's so good about this kid, what kind of ability does he have, he can't even count as a little white face, if you ...... water"

"You are shameless!" Nalan Ruo gritted her teeth angrily, she turned around and pulled Chen Nan into the courtyard.

Sima Lingkong was just about to follow up, but several warriors next to him stretched out their hands to stop him, and one of them said, "Young Master Sima, please stay, the eldest princess has an order, and no one is allowed to enter this courtyard for half a step without her approval." 」

At this time, Sima Lingkong was almost mad, and his heart was full of anger, and he shouted, "Why?

"Because this was originally the courtyard of Tatsukoshi, Miss Nalan was ordered to heal his body. 」

"What, that piece of waste is a wizard too?"

Several samurai were silent.

Sima Lingkong's mind gradually calmed down, he glanced fiercely at the courtyard, and turned to leave.

After arriving at the courtyard, Nalan Ruoshui quickly let go of Chen Nan's hand, twisted his face to the side, and said, "I'm sorry. 」

The unhappiness in Chennan's heart had gradually subsided, and he said, "It's nothing. 」

"Don't you ask me why I did this?"

"I'm waiting for you to say. 」

Nalan Ruoshui turned his body around and said, "My father is Nalan Wencheng, the left minister of the central government, and Sima Lingkong's father is Sima Changfeng, the general of the Huwei of the central court, both of whom are important ministers of the Chu State, but they have always been at odds. In recent years, some ministers of the DPRK and China have been involved in the mediation, and the relationship between the two has eased somewhat, and later some people suggested that the two families should become sons and daughters, so as to improve the relationship between the two families. 」

"If there is discord between the two countries, it will be detrimental to the country, and my father agreed to those who are going around it, and the general of the Tiger Wei army readily agreed. Others may not know Sima Lingkong's personality, but I know very well that he has been back to the imperial capital several times in recent years, and every time he comes back, he will make some romantic and bad things, which is simply a romantic and evil young man. 」

"I understand my father's difficulties and know that he is dedicated to his country. I hate Sima Lingkong's amorous and wicked youth, but I can't change that fact. A few days later, Sima Changfeng was going to send someone to the door to propose marriage, and I had no choice but to stimulate Sima Lingkong and make him disgusted with me, thus ruining this marriage, so ......

"So you pulled me and deliberately appeared in front of Sima Ling to stimulate him?"

"Yes...... I'm sorry. 」

"Alas, you really don't understand the man's heart, and doing so is counterproductive. Chen Nan really sympathized with Nalan Ruoshui, this woman who is usually extremely quiet, is so helpless in her heart, as a noble girl, she can't control her own happiness, she can only use it as a political bargaining chip. He let out a long sigh and said, "How can I help you?"

Nalan Ruoshui's eyes showed a mist, and his voice trembled a little, "I don't know...... I don't even know what I'm going to do......

"Otherwise...... Chen Nan wanted to say, "Otherwise, I'll take you with me." But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and he still didn't know if Nalan Ruoshui also had a good impression of him.

"How else?" Nalan Ruoshui had a look of hope on her face.

"Well, or you should run away, flee to another country, and come back when the matter is over. 」

Nalan Ruoshui was a little disappointed, and said, "I'm a woman, where can I go, I've never been far away, and I don't have any experience in the rivers and lakes, I'm alone...... Woo woo ......"

In the end, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried.

Chen Nan scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't have a handkerchief, and finally raised his wide sleeves in front of Nalan Ruoshui.

Nalan Ruoshui tugged at his sleeve, gently wiped his tears, and finally suddenly threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.

"What should I do? What the hell should I do...... Woo woo ......"

Chennan was at a loss.

Nalan Ruoshui cried for a while, her voice became quieter, and finally said faintly: "If you have a prominent background, if you have a world-beating skill...... I...... I'm leaving. 」
