585. Mother's love
In front of the cast-iron throne are three treasures on the magma stone platform, each of which is worth a fortune.
For the Bena people, the sword of Quelsella is more of a symbol, and the warriors who once held Quelsella have become heroes in people's mouths, and when a legendary weapon is placed in front of them, it will have an inexplicable attraction for the Bena swordsman.
In Surdak's eyes alone, Quirsera was just a simple sword of legend, and his gaze was even a little more on the magnificent red crystal, and he was more curious about how the sword of Quelsella was inserted into the hard red crystal, and this red crystal was not broken, like a huge red gum that wrapped the sword of legend.
The whole set of exquisite saddle covers made of giant Thorsilver next to him, Surdak only thought that the use of a complete set of saddles plated with Thur silver was very exaggerated in itself, and he did not think about how luxurious it would be to make this pile of saddles completely made of Thur silver.
As for the dark gray dragon egg, Surdak didn't feel a trace of life from this egg, this lifeless dragon egg was more like a stone.
Therefore, his gaze only lingered on the three treasures for a moment, and then he swept over them and turned to the cast-iron throne on the top of the stone platform.
He looked at the cold chair and felt that it was impossible for anyone in their right mind to sit on it, but it was the pattern on the stone wall behind the chair that caught Surdak's attention.
Holding the torch of holy light in his hand, he looked seriously at the reliefs on the stone wall that seemed to record countless histories.
Looking at the various magic patterns and symbols filled on it, Surdak saw a warrior holding a knight's spear and standing on the back of a dragon on a relief carrying the head of a great demon in his hand, the land of that battlefield was almost stained red with blood, Surdak was able to put himself on the battlefield with that blood and sand, he even saw angels, demons, dragons, bone dragons, Beamon Behemoths, cyclops, headless death knights, lich kings and other high-level magical beasts, under their feet, countless humans, elves, dwarves, orcs and hell demons, The undead races collided together, and the flags flew......
He looked up again at the top of the cave, which was dark, as if it were hiding endless darkness.
He was silent for a moment, and then began to think about what it would take to pull the sword of Quelcella out of the red crystal......
At this moment, Surdak felt that it was probably his own eyes that were spent, and the relief pictures on the stone wall in front of him began to change constantly, and the lines became vivid in front of him, as if he had transformed into an endless void, standing alone on the top of a mountain cliff, a pair of deep and terrifying huge eyes staring at Surdak in the void, it spread its wings, and constantly flapped its wings in the void.
The phantom of a red dragon slowly flew over from a distance, and Surdak knew in his heart that it was only an illusory shadow, but the residual aura gave people an incomparably real appearance.
The huge body was about forty meters long, slender and slender, and it stopped steadily at the head of the cliff, with a pair of crimson dragon wings behind it, and a long dragon tail with flowing flames.
It has eyes that are incomparably wise, sometimes like a flame, sometimes cold.
Although it was an illusion, when its gaze fell on Surdak, he could still clearly feel the surging pressure belonging to the dragon, and Surdak felt that his heart was almost squeezed out of his throat.
"Young knight, you're welcome here!"
She put her head in front of Surdak, the illusory head was the size of a small house, and the flaming dragon scales were the size of a basin each, Surdak felt that it did not speak Grimdim's Chinese, but she could understand the meaning of its every word.
"Greed blinds the eyes and hatred corrupts the pure heart, and fear leads to the abyss of darkness......"
The red crystal with the Sword of Legend, appeared in front of Surdak again, and its gaze fell on the Sword of Legend, its expression was a little mixed with each other, and its expression seemed to be reminiscing about the past......
The Red Dragon Phantom said, "Every Bena is desperate for the Sword of Quelsella, and I'm glad you didn't hold it the first time and pull it out of that rough red crystal. ”
"You're Lord Johannes?" Surdak asked.
The red dragon phantom did not answer Surdak's question, and continued:
"This legendary sword has gone through countless battles, Angus used it to kill at least hundreds of great demons, lichs, and bone dragons, when the elven king cast this sword of Quelsella, he did not integrate krypton gold into this sword, so it does not have the attribute of 'never wearing', after so many battles, for all the people of the empire, it is already very old, and the entire sword body is covered with all kinds of negative dark wounds, so that it can collapse at any time, causing the space to collapse."
"Before that, I sealed it into the red crystal, if you don't have enough strength to suppress the aura of destruction on it, please don't try to pull it out of the red crystal......"
Surdak's face turned pale in an instant.
Looking at his hands, he secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't pull up Quirsera in the first place, according to this red dragon, the consequences of his real doing so are likely to completely destroy the space here.
“……”
The dragon turned its head to glance at the endless void around it.
"What if that...... Everything here may cease to exist in an instant. ”
"But since you can see me, it means that you have restrained your greed, so you can still stand here intact and listen to me and you nag about this."
The dragon brought his head back to Surdak, and a large pile of silver saddle covers appeared in front of Surdak with a 'whew'.
"This saddle cover is the silver armor of the Dragon's Ser, of course, most dragons don't like it, and this armor is specially for my poor little Isser. If you have the chance, I hope you can personally help me transfer these to it. ”
The lifeless dragon egg appeared in front of Surdak again, and this time Surdak finally saw clearly that a large hole had already broken in the back of this dragon egg.
"As for the dragon egg...... It's not a dragon egg, but when you look back, it's just an eggshell......"
The space in front of Surdak began to twist continuously, and in a moment, a noble lady in a red dress appeared in front of Surdak, and the figure of the dragon disappeared, and she raised her proud chin, and with a haughty look of contempt for all life, she said to Surdak:
"None of this belongs to you!"
This red dragon has said so much, it seems that this sentence is the point!
Surdak wanted to get out of this illusion as soon as possible, but there was only such a lonely cliff at his feet, and if he took a step in any direction around him, he could step into the abyss.
The noble lady had three shallow traces of dragon scales on her snow-white neck, and looked at Surdak with a hint of mockery on her face: "Of course, since you can come here, it means that you have obtained the approval of the Bradbury family, and the things I left you are not these, I wonder if you will be a little disappointed at this moment?" ”
Neither Quelsella nor the dragon egg were anything he desperately craved before he came here, and he didn't feel too lost, so his emotions didn't fluctuate drastically.
After a pause, the lady said to Surdak again: "It seems that you are a very calm young man, so look at the gift I have left you!" ”
"What I can give you is a precious friendship."
The noblewoman put the shell of the dragon egg in front of Surdak again and said.
"If you wish, drop your blood on that dragon egg, as long as the dragon egg is fully activated, the blood pact attached to the dragon egg will automatically take effect, and you will gain the friendship of a young red dragon."
Surdak's mouth was slightly open, he felt that it would not be bad if he really won the friendship of a young red dragon, at least it wouldn't hurt......
"This contract is not a master-servant contract, but a blood contract of equality and symbiosis."
Surdak sounded a little familiar with this, and he hesitated for a moment before decisively stopping.
The noblewoman continued: "This friendship will accompany you through your short life, but it will not go with you when you die, and you will not be able to make it do anything against its will, if you wish, drip your blood on the dragon egg, as I say, and if you do not need such a companion, then please leave the way you came." ”
After speaking, a stone staircase suddenly appeared behind the lonely cliff, and a gate covered with mandala flowers was revealed under the thirteen stone steps.
"Of course you can take the gold from here, as long as you can move it, and you can also take this sword of Quelcella, if you are not afraid of death." The lady added.
Surdak walked up to the dragon egg and hesitated to sign this contract and gain the friendship of a dragon......
He started with the big. Pulling out the skinning knife from his leg and glancing at his wrist, Surdak stretched out his hand, the sharp knife cut through the skin of his wrist, and a drop of blood with a divine breath flowed on the eggshell that was almost turned into a fossil, where the blood flowed, clear runes suddenly appeared inside the giant egg, and the entire dragon egg eggshell seemed to have a new life.
The lady changed her position, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said to Surdak:
"It seems that you have made a very good choice, my Iser wants to grow up fully without your help, which is one of the reasons why you can be its partner."
Then her figure vanished, and when she reappeared, she stood on the cliff with Surdak.
There were pictures in the void in front of me, the picture seemed to be Pubao Mountain a long time ago, at that time the Pupu Mountain was surrounded by dense jungle, a red dragon was entrenched on the top of the mountain, and on the stone platform by the magma pool on the top of the mountain, there was a dragon egg with an eggshell with countless veins and constantly beating, the red dragon was lying on the edge of the magma pool, looking at the dragon egg with love and pity, and his eyes were full of melancholy.
"The only regret of my life is that I can't see Issel grow up, I can't see him roam the skies freely, and I have to face the dangers of the outside world alone at such a young age, and the protection I can give him is so limited."
Surdak turned his head to look, but the noblewoman was still looking ahead, and continued:
"When I broke through the shackles of the ninth level, I felt that I was connected to the whole world, even the strong body of a dragon could not carry this power, and my body had become full of holes in countless battles, I knew that my body could not carry this power, and at the same time, the race war left countless dark wounds on my body, and after Angus died, the magic contract cursed me with some curses, so ...... I have to say 'good night' to this world and to my Iser! ”
An atmosphere of sadness haunted Surdak, who was a quiet listener at the moment.
"But it's just a newborn little thing, and it doesn't know anything, and it can't even live here!"
The noblewoman came to the dragon's egg, looked back at Surdak, and said with a determined gaze: "So I need someone who can help it grow, a knight who can fight alongside it and never hurt him, and to be here and see me say these words means that I have chosen you, and I need you to teach it some knowledge and the language of dragons." ”
Surdak was stunned.
The noblewoman continued, "Only by learning the language of dragons will it be able to communicate with other dragons in the future, live with other dragons, and perhaps return to the kingdom of dragons one day. ”
Surdak's eyes widened and he blurted out, "Hey, that Johannes-sama, I don't know the language of dragons!" ”
The lady continued: "I know what you want to say, the so-called dragon language is actually not too difficult, and it may require a little patience, but since you have made an oath, I believe you can do it well!" ”
"Oath ......"
Surdak didn't feel like he had made any vows,
"I have prepared thirty-one magic crystals, which contain thirty-one dragon runes, and all the dragon language has evolved from these thirty-one runes, all you need to do is to learn and teach these thirty-one dragon runes and all the ways of evolution to my little Iser......"
Surdak didn't expect this matter to become so troublesome, did he want to become a dragon enlightenment teacher?
The lady looked at Surdak and said, "Maybe you will be a little reluctant now, look at the gift I gave you, maybe you will not be so repulsive about this matter......"
Surdak didn't really have much resistance in his heart, so he should learn one more foreign language, or the language of dragons, which would sound very cool...... Isn't that better than bird language?
The noblewoman reached out and touched her snow-white neck, as if pulling a necklace off, and stretched out her hand to Surdak.
Surdak subconsciously reached out and took it, and a touch of cold bone fell into Surdak's hand.
The noble lady in front of him was illusory, Surdak's hand passed through the noble woman's empty palm, and he looked down at the bones in his hand like a gold collar, which were densely covered with countless blood-colored runes, and he could clearly feel the majestic power contained in it.
The noble lady's gaze fell on the collar-like bone, and she said with an indifferent expression: "This is my laryngeal bone, a bone with the dragon life magic pattern, as long as you have enough carrying capacity to transplant it on your body, you have the ability to learn the dragon language, the dragon language is a very unique language, with a unique magic system." I am sure it will bring you many benefits in the days to come, but only if you learn how to use it and teach these languages to my children according to the contract......"
The lonely cliff beneath his feet slowly disappeared, and Surdak stood on the stone platform.
Andrew, Samira, and Gulitham all gave him concerned glances.
Surdak looked at the phantom in front of him and was speechless for a long time......
