Chapter 14: The Water Dragon

When I woke up, it was already morning, and I found myself sleeping in a very large bed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Charlie came in and said to me, "Your Excellency Raphael, you probably drank too much last night and fell asleep in the bathroom, and we fished you out of the bath and dragged you to the bed." You have to pay attention in the future, after all, there are more maids here, and the man is just me......"

Hey, it's hard for him. The main thing is that the big bath is so comfortable that I fell asleep after a little nap. I smiled helplessly.

"Oh yes, you still have to go to the palace today to see His Royal Highness, so you should get up and have breakfast and get ready, so as not to miss the time. "It's the first time I've met someone who can take care of me, and it's new, so I'll just do what he says.

But the breakfast here is no less than yesterday's feast, each plate is very exquisite, and the amount is not very much, just enough for me to eat. I haven't been served so intimately in my life, and it's really sad to think back on my previous life.

Soon, I finished breakfast, changed my clothes, got into the dragon carriage, and set off for the palace. But I still feel that this dress on my body is very awkward, after all, I am an active person, this dress is too much to affect the fight, in case something happens to run away, I guess this dress will have to be torn.

"Is Lord Raphael still thinking about clothes?" Charlie was really attentive and saw some clues. I nodded. "Well, when I go back today, I'll change my clothes myself. "I was shocked by this, I didn't expect a big man to be able to do this needlework, it's really versatile.

I looked through the window and out into the street. The scenery on the street is much better than that of Oasis City: almost all the houses in Oasis City are earth-colored flat roofs, and from a distance they look like deserts, and there are not many people on the streets, most of them are businessmen running around; Axel is really busy, dragon carriages and carriages are everywhere, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians, dressed in different ways, some are very formal, they should be government officials, and some are very strangely dressed, maybe for some kind of performance. Sure enough, the economic gap was clear at a glance, and I felt that I had to do at least something for my hometown.

In a few moments, we arrived at the royal palace. Yesterday's celebration feast made a mess in the front yard of the palace, but this morning, when the front of the palace was cleaned up, it really made people admire.

I walked into the palace and was led by the soldiers to a different place than yesterday. It's a lot smaller than yesterday's hall, but it's a bit big if it's used only as the king's office.

The king sat right behind his desk. His desk was very modest, and the whole room looked unadorned, and I felt deeply that this king was no ordinary man.

"General Raphael, you're here. How are you used to these two days?" the king pointed to the seat on the other side of the table, and I sat there as he wished.

"It's okay, a little flattered. After all, I lived a relatively hard life before. But although it is hard, I am more comfortable than now, and I can go wherever I want. ”

"Actually, you can go wherever you want now, but if you can help me solve the problem when I need you. According to your wishes, you will be awarded an honorary general, and you will not need to spend time on the post every day. As for the ceremony of awarding the medal, it is scheduled in a few days, so don't run away in these days. ”

"I think that's good, I shouldn't run. ”

"Haha, 'should'. But it doesn't matter, the jobs I arrange are all well-paid, and I believe you won't fail to accept them, and you won't be untrustworthy. ”

"That's natural, we all keep our promises, and if it's beneficial, it's okay to come, and if it's not profitable, it's not necessary to talk about it. But I like the house by the sea, and we can talk about the next work. Forget about the title of general, I don't like it. ”

"This is a good thing for you, as an honorary general will enjoy some privileges, and as for the obligation, just complete the work I have assigned. ”

"That's okay. ”

"Okay. Now it's time to get down to business. At the same time as the sand dragon, there is also a monster called the water dragon. It's just that the appearance of water dragons in the waters of Oser and Armenia before did not affect our merchant ships. But in recent days, water dragons have appeared on the road from Axel to Bollinger Island, which is more troublesome. Finally solved the sand dragon, and there was another water dragon. I want you to get rid of this water dragon. As for the reward, you can live in a mansion on Dablin Island for a while, plus some gold coins. But I don't think there's a shortage of gold rewards, and if you're willing to go to Dablin Island for a while, might as well take this job?"

"When?"

"We need a few days to prepare military ships, you can take advantage of these days to think about it. ”

"Okay, I'll take it. But how do you know I can swim?"

"Actually, we are thinking that you will cooperate with the military ship to kill it, but we don't know anything about water dragons, so we want you to hunt water dragons. After all, the equipment of our military ships is not much better than that of other ships, and the weapons are all old-fashioned. To be on the safe side, go along. ”

"Good. Besides, I don't think my clothes fit well, and I don't like iron armor or anything, so is there any light clothing that I can use to hunt water dragons?"

"You don't wear armor, did you wear the same cloth clothes you came from when you hunted sand dragons?"

I nodded.

"Oh my God, how strong are you. ”

"It's nothing, my slum buddies can do it. ”

The king was a little surprised, and before he could speak, I continued.

"I don't need the gold reward this time, I hope to build a road from Axel to Oasis City, so that I can visit them often, and maybe I can help you one day. ”

"It's so expensive that it's almost impossible, but it's okay to get through a clipper. This is all easy to do, after all, if you hunt the sand dragon, you can get a boat in the desert, and then you can do whatever you want. ”

"That's good. After hunting the sand dragon, I want to go to Oasis City, that's no problem, right?"

"That's all easy to say. Hunting the water dragon is the priority right now. Also, you don't have to rush back, after all, you can stay in Dablin Island for a while. ”

"Okay, I'm trying to go around, too. It is estimated that this house will not be able to stay for a few days, and it is better to change places. ”

"Okay, that's it. I'll take care of your clothes in the next few days, and I'll hand them over to you before I go. ”

"Good. ”

The king showed me around the palace and told me that it was a good place to live. But if it had been me, I would have suffocated to death. You can probably live in one place for a few days, and after a few days, you will get tired of it. After lunch, I went back to the house with Charlie.

It's been a boring few days, and although life is luxurious, there's a lot less fun to do than in Oasis City. The people on the street are busy with work, and there is really nothing fun to do except watch the show. It's better to be in the slums, talk to Harvey and them about the interesting things of the day, and have some drinks together, which is much more comfortable than this.

Since I want to take people's money, I have to help people do things, and in the past few days, I have been in the water to practice my skills whenever I have time, for fear that I will lose my life. This short knife is getting easier to use, probably because I'm used to it. In the past two days, I can't bring a knife when I enter the palace, and I haven't touched the knife in my hand, so I miss this short knife a little. I don't know who left the knife after death, but since this knife is not bad, I will continue to use it to hunt monsters, and kill a few more monsters for the owner of the knife.

When I was diving, I found that there are quite a lot of fish species on this beach, much more than Oasis City, and there are many creatures that I have never seen before, which looks very interesting. I took a few fish I had seen with a knife and fork and decided to eat them for dinner. When he handed it to Charlie, he was still stunned for a long time, and the fish fell from his hand and fell onto the sand a few times.

Soon, a few days passed. I have a new jersey and it feels like it's perfect for fighting. When I went to sea, the king saw me off himself, and I boarded the military ship with Charles. When I got on this military ship, I felt like I was on a thief ship, and I had a premonition that I would never return.

The crew pulled anchor and hoisted the sails, ready to go to sea. I stood at the bow of the boat, looking out into the distance, a little excited in my heart.

The ship turned its head and prepared to sail for Dablin Island. This hunt is more like a tour, slaughtering the dragon and going on vacation to Dablin Island. If you think about it this way, it's easy to be motivated.

From time to time, flying fish leap out of the water, and seabirds glide over the sideways, reflecting the clear blue sea, which is a refreshing sight. The ship remained at sea for several days. The sea and the desert have a common feature, that is, the scenery is the same wherever you look, and you will get tired of watching it for a few days.

On this day, the sky was somewhat overcast, and there was no wind or waves on the sea. I didn't hear the seabirds from the time I woke up until noon, so I felt that something was not quite right today.

"Lord Raphael, there is a small island there. The island was originally an uninhabited island, and some Armenians had recently gone to live there for some time, wondering if they were looking for something. The captain pointed to a small green island in the distance.

I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with the temple they were looking for? I asked the captain to go and see the island, and the captain had no opinion.

When the boat was about to reach the island, there was a sudden loud "bang", which made me vigilant.

In an instant, I felt the feeling of the sand dragon as it broke out of the sand, and immediately ran to the side of the boat and jumped directly into the sea. Before my feet left the boat, a column of water pierced a hole in the whole boat. The boat cracked, and I immediately jumped into the sea. Faintly, I saw a shadow that looked like a sand dragon rushing towards the boat at the bottom of the sea. I'm still the same as before, swimming to the side.

The shadow tore through the entire ship at once, and the sea was instantly filled with blood. No way, I don't have that much ability to save those people. Before I could feel guilty, the shadow swayed around the boat and suddenly turned to my side. I kicked a step in the water and swam to the side. But because I was in the water, I moved slowly, and the shadow scratched my left arm when it turned its head and tail. When it turned around, I could see what it looked like: almost exactly like a sand dragon, except that the fins were larger than those of the sand dragon, and the gills were more pronounced, apparently more like a big fish. But it has a long thorn in its nose, and if it is stabbed, it will definitely be helpless.

This is probably a water dragon. The water dragon has been circling around me, and I am staring at it. Although the speed difference in the water is larger than when hunting sand dragons, you can dodge the water dragon's attacks in all directions, and you can even dodge attacks by just twisting your body. I pulled out my dagger and harnessed the power of the crystal to make it sharp enough to cut through water, so that it could swing slower without being hindered by water.

The water dragon rushed towards me, and I immediately dodged the attack with a kick in any direction. The water dragon rushed a few more times, but barely touched me. But I couldn't touch it, because I wasn't used to turning around in the water, and I didn't have time to turn around and cut a knife or two. The water dragon quickly learned his lesson, and instead of rushing in the water, he swam slowly around me.

Suddenly, it took a large mouthful of water into its mouth and spat out a jet of water at me. I noticed that it was squirting water at the place where I was about to swim, and I could barely dodge it, so I immediately exhaled the breath in my mouth. But the float was still a little slow, and the right leg was cut by the water column. I didn't expect this water column to be so powerful, just touching it was like a knife scratch, and the blood flowed endlessly.

I surfaced to breathe a sigh of relief and continued to dive, wrestling with it. Instead of rushing at me, the water dragon sucked water in place. I probably saw that the water column could hurt me, so I wanted to continue using it. I gripped the dagger tightly, hoping to swim a little faster, a little faster. The water dragon spat out a column of water, but the column of water swam towards where I was going, and I could barely avoid it. At that moment, the crystals on the dagger glowed slightly, and I swam a little faster, just in time to avoid the water column.

I can't believe that crystals still have such an effect, and they can make people swim faster. Crystals are such a good thing. With the help of the power of crystals, I kept swimming around the water dragon, and little by little I got closer to the water dragon. The power of the crystal made me faster little by little, and I gradually adapted to the water battle, seeing that the distance was almost there, I took advantage of the water dragon to absorb water, and suddenly rushed towards the water dragon. The water dragon hadn't sucked up the water yet, so it sprayed me with a column of water in advance. I kicked the water and swam a long way forward. The water dragon seems to have a little mouth that can't turn around, and it can't keep up with my swimming speed at all. I swam a few steps forward, thinking that it should not be enough to spray water, and suddenly swam towards the water dragon. The water dragon happened to run out of water, and when it saw that the situation was not good, it suddenly rushed like me. I seized the moment, spun my body, and happened to reach the side of the water dragon, and made a big cut in it with my knife.

The water dragon screams in the water, and its sound can be heard even in the water, and the water flows along the sound waves it emittes. I turned around and saw the water dragon swimming away, but I didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that it would kill back like the sand dragon. However, the water dragon was upright, and swam away directly, swimming far away. When I saw that the water dragon had not returned, I poked my head out of the water and swam towards the fragments of the boat.

"Your Excellency, where did you go just now? We were all worried about you just now, if you have any three long and two short, we can't do this water dragon. "Charlie also understands water and can talk to me very naturally.

"I just had a fight with the water dragon, and the water dragon was not very good, so I let it slip away, and I also suffered a little injury. I see that many crew members are injured, so let's find a place to settle down and heal our injuries, and then think about it in the long run. "I propose.

The water dragon's raid barely survived, and basically no one lost their lives, but they were all more or less injured, and it should not affect the hunt in a few days. With the help of some debris of the ship, we swam to the island.

We dragged our tired bodies ashore, wet, and cloudy, and we couldn't help but feel a little chilly. Charlie took off his clothes, found some firewood, and was drilling wood for a fire. I also took off my clothes, tore two pieces of cloth at random, tied up the wounds, and went to the island with a knife to find something to eat or something useful. Since there is no human influence, the woods are lush and there are many species, and there are a lot of plants and animals that have never been seen before. But I can probably tell what's dangerous, and I can get around the dangerous creatures. Walking through the woods, you can see that the island has a sunken sandy beach. On the beach, there's a lump of stuff piled up there. I walked over and slowly approached the lump.

Suddenly, the lump stuck out its head and stared at me with its eyes. I felt fear again, and guessed it was another monster that resembled a sand dragon. The lump spread its wings and stared at me. I didn't dare to retreat, for fear that it would think I could eat it and rush straight over. I was too tired to fight it for a few more rounds, so I had to endure it. When it saw that I was not moving, it flapped its wings and flew away.

I breathed a sigh of relief. The horns on its head, its sharp claws, and its huge wings were etched in my mind. Every time it flapped its wings, I felt like I was going to be blown away by the wind.

I stood there in a daze, I don't know how long. I never thought of such a monster, and if the king had asked me to hunt it, I would have been almost useless, and even if I had climbed on it, I would have been thrown off and killed.

"Your Excellency, Hey, Your Excellency. Charlie tapped me on the shoulder from behind, and I was startled and quickly turned around and jumped back.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, Your Excellency. Once the fire is lit, go get warm. "My hands and legs were shaking, and I walked back with Charlie and sat down by the fire to keep warm.

"Your Excellency, what did you just see, why are you so nervous?" Charlie couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. "The figure of the wyvern lingered in my mind, almost a nightmare. Now when I think about the water dragon, I am really not afraid at all.

"Then let's go find something to eat first, and you get warm first. "Charlie and the uninjured crew went to forage for food.

It was getting late, and they caught some fish, and found some fruit, and they were here tonight.

"Anyway, there are so few fish here, and it took a long time to see one. A crew member complained.

"Yes, there are hardly any animals in the woods, and just now I saw only one deer, and it was running so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Another crew member also complained.

"It stands to reason that such an uninhabited island should not be like this. Could it be that the Armenians are doing here......" guessed the captain. I think so, after all, the water dragons only came here a few days ago, and the Armenians came here a few days ago, so maybe there is some connection between the two.

With such doubts, we all fell asleep after a tired day.

The next day, I woke up as soon as the white of the fish's belly was revealed. It was probably the dragon that scared me so much yesterday that I didn't sleep well all night. I had palpitations, but I was seduced by that hurtful curiosity, and I couldn't help but want to go to the beach to have a look. I quietly got dressed, picked up my dagger, and prepared to take a look.

Before I could get out of the woods, I could vaguely see another lump on the beach. I flinched a little, but I couldn't fall in one place twice. I slapped myself a few times and silently walked towards the.

But the color of that lump doesn't seem to be the same as yesterday. Yesterday it was the color of the rocks, and today it is a little blue. I collected my breath and lightened my steps, approaching the lump like a ghost. It wasn't until I got close that the thing didn't notice me, and it seemed that my ability to hold my breath was still very strong.

I got closer and saw the fins that the dragon didn't have yesterday. It wasn't until I looked to the side and saw the gills and a scar that I realized that it was yesterday's water dragon!
