19.Chapter 19: The Oath in the Shell
A white dragon, wandering in front of Lance and Vic's eyes, glowing blue fluorescent from the size of a bean, like a lamp in the sea, gradually became much larger than the giant fish in front of them, and then, the whole picture of this dragon can finally be seen clearly~
The two somewhat broken wings opened a little longer than the entire Banshee of the Sea, the white dragon's neck was slender, and it could breathe directly in the sea with its mouth, and its sharp teeth swallowed the fish sent to its mouth one by one into its stomach, and soon, the belly that was not too big became bloated and became a round burden on the vigorous body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this moment, the white dragon's cruising speed has gradually slowed down, so that Lance can see more clearly, the appearance of this dragon is very similar to the one depicted above the stone bridge, the only thing is that its size and human ratio have been expanded several times more. But what can be seen that Lance's heart is frightened is that this damn dragon seems to be able to swallow two or three fish in front of him, whether in terms of speed or strength, this dragon is not an object that humans can match, Lance can't help but wonder how the legendary four kings defeated the dragon world one by one, so that humans can establish their own country
Wherever the white dragon went, the black creatures would consciously give way, apparently the dragon had no appetite for these black disgusting jellyfish, but he had no intention of approaching them to find out. Having said that, it wasn't until he was satisfied that the white dragon finally yawned lazily, and the current at the bottom of the sea roared with this dull roar, sucking the sand and gravel into the whirlpool, surging straight in the direction of Lance and the others
Vic panicked~~, and Lance also panicked, what should I do now? The two people at the top of this submarine mountain peak are about to be scattered by the catastrophic current, and they will be swept into pieces in the terrifying whirlpool. And Vic didn't expect that he was self-defeating, he wanted Lance to see the only one in the world, the rumored dragon, but Lance is not a half-mermaid hybrid after all, the depth of half a league has made Lance unable to move, plus Vic is also responsible for the breathing oxygen supply for two, and now this torrent is rushing rapidly, and less than half a league is about to collapse this mountain peak, and Vic's intestines are repentant
Vic, who has always loved the sea, saw dragons for the first time, so he was excited and wanted Lance to see its honor as well, but he didn't expect that neither humans nor Vic's hybrids should become the pathetic jumping clown next to dragons, and it was too late to hide, let alone get close and want to peek at something. But Vic had been educated by Lance's father, Gordon alone, a long time ago, and the tall and majestic body once said to Vic, "Do you want to kill Lance?
In fact, before diving, Lance had probably guessed this possibility, but Lance, who had stayed in Gordon Town all the year round, had never had the opportunity to go to the deep sea area, besides, if the dragon was really so easy to find, it might have been passed on by word of mouth among the merchants, so that the old and young in Gordon Town would have more conversation during meals. But this scene still surprised Lance, and even made Lance hold back his strength~
.....
For Vic and the entire world under the sea, it was as if time had frozen
.....
Lance used up all the flames in the three imprints behind him in one go, but what he didn't expect was that he desperately pulled Vic to swim on the surface of the sea, even if it seemed to avoid the deadly whirlpool current, but the white dragon did not freeze with time and stagnated his gradually approaching body, Lance was so panicked that he swallowed a small mouthful of seawater into his stomach~
Lance, who experienced a nightmare for two days and two nights, unconsciously, the three imprints behind him were filled with blue flames, although Lance didn't know what it was, but he could personally feel the strange feeling brought by this flame behind him, at least until now, Lance was not used to the conflict between the two perceptions in his body. But this is not the time for Lance to care about such trivial matters, the time brought by the flames in the three imprints suddenly burning desperately seems not to be the length of thirty seconds that Lance imagined, but can only maintain the taste of less than twenty seconds, Lance dragged Vic to swim for a short while, avoiding the center of the current, but after time recovered again, he was hit a few times by the tumbling stones around the torrent, and the painful Lance couldn't calm down even if he gritted his teeth, and continued to swallow a few mouthfuls of water in his mouth~
Vic came to his senses at this time, and saw that the scene in front of him had unexpectedly displaced, and he was so surprised that he didn't know what gesture to use to communicate with Lance. But at this moment, Lance was already running out of oxygen, and the paleness on his face made Vic send his lips without hesitation, and the two of them slowly rotated with the aftermath of the torrent on the peak of the seabed
The white dragon's claws pierced into the side slope at the top of the mountain, and its long neck stretched out, close to where Lance and Vic were, as if to get a clear view, the white dragon's beard curled up Lance and Vic, and then sent it in front of him
At this moment, Lance and Vic could no longer control the fear in their hearts, and their whole bodies trembled
To say that the size of this dragon can also top the size of half of the Banshee of the Sea, even Bick had a wrong judgment on the body of this white dragon before, after all, it is a deep sea area, and the heavy refraction of light will deform the size of the object at a certain distance, so Bick, who wanted Lance to come down to see the spectacle at the beginning, is not regretting it at the moment, but trying to calm the anger of this white dragon~
Vic had heard that all the languages on the continent evolved from the dragon language, but now there are only a few languages that are close to the dragon language, among which the language of the mermaid has a certain similarity, so Vic dared to use the way of gills and thoracic resonance to convey the language of the mermaid, wanting to see if he could communicate with the behemoth on the bottom of the sea
"I, we were just passing by here, and we didn't want to disturb your eating!", although Lance didn't understand this sentence at all, but judging from Vic's trembling expression, it was obvious that Vic was trying his best to negotiate with this dragon~
However, the dragon seemed to be very disappreciative and gently pulled Vic's clothes clean with his claws, and Vic's body suddenly had a few more blood marks, and then the dragon's tentacles picked up Vic alone, and poked around Vic's body, and only after a moment sent Vic back to Lance's side, so that Vic could continue to supply oxygen to Lance
Then Lance's clothes were ripped clean, and the dragon's tentacles flicked slightly as if they were electrocuted when they touched Lance's vest, and the latter's whiskers sent Lance directly to the dragon's eyes, where he looked at it carefully
God, these eyeballs are bigger than his body~, Lance's heart couldn't help but exclaim
Soon, the dragon's voice sounded in the sea, using a direct psychic sensing method, which shocked Lance and Vic's bodies, and the rumbling sense of oppression followed, making Vic and Lance feel completely breathless, this pain can be thousands of times stronger than the water pressure, and what is even more odious is that the white dragon's psychic sensing this time is actually the lingua franca of humans on the continent
"Low reptiles, why do you want to disturb my tranquility, this sea area even you fishmen or krakens dare not dabble, is it because I haven't eaten enough, and want to add some human meat to my dishes?"
The white dragon's words did not have the sense of fear that he had imagined before, but the cruelty that was not brought out in this voice was clearly revealed in the white dragon's blinking giant eyes, and if the answer was wrong, maybe the two of them would become small shrimps who ran into the dragon's belly, so Vic looked at Lance, and Lance also looked at Vic, and both of them seemed to have no idea, what should they say to avoid this level?
Seeing that the two of them had no countermeasures, the white dragon became a little angry and roared again
"Tell me, why can you find my hiding place and give you one last chance, what do you want to do with the guy who can dive into such a deep sea?", the fangs in his mouth were viciously exposed, and he was about to send Lance and Vic into his mouth~
Vic saw that he really had no tricks, so he could only take out a string of beads from the pocket behind his buttocks~, and the moment he took it out, Lance's eyes lit up, isn't this thing a relic of his mother?
.....
.....
The white dragon tossed and turned the beads over and over, as if forgetting that there were two large men in rags swimming around under his head, and the two of them tried to find a way to escape from the encirclement of the white dragon's tentacles, but even Captain Vic gave up, after all, under the deep sea, it was not the world he was familiar with
With fluorescent beads flashing blue light regularly, the white dragon seemed to think of too many things before, countless pictures flashed in her head, pain, sorrow, joy, excitement, many emotions seemed to flow together in an instant, the destruction of the perishing, the rebirth of the rebirth, the departure of the departure, the arrival of the arrival, the white dragon sighed silently in the bottom of his heart, so many years have passed, the white dragon once again feels that his loneliness has deepened, especially these two disgusting same-sex humans kiss from time to time, is it possible that the human world has been subverted to this place of shame without discipline?
However, Bai Long probably pieced together the fragments of his memories, and some memorable things implicated other things, so that Bai Long took the initiative to speak to the two again
"Who is the owner of this bunch of shells?", the white dragon's momentum was much gentler than before, but Long Wei did not decay because of this
Vic immediately pointed at Lance's body, obviously already afraid, the self-defeating scene made Vic powerless, and could only let the owner of the magic bead come forward to explain it clearly
.....
.....
Ever since Lance had been shouting to return before he fell unconscious, Vic was the first person to vote against it, but he didn't expect that after Lance fell unconscious, the string of beads in this guy's hand flickered back and forth rhythmically, and soon Vic found an even more powerful way to make it flicker, which was to turn the bow of the Banshee of the Sea and sail towards an unknown course. Unexpectedly, I met Master Byron and an old man who were drifting in the sea halfway, and picked them up by the way, but the flickering of this bead dropped a lot, so under the judgment of a group of core brothers, this bead must have a great connection with Lance's coma, whether it was direct or indirect, so Captain Vic adjusted the course again, and moved in the direction of continuing to keep the bead flickering steadily, just as this direction should be within the same range as returning to Fira, so everyone could also accept such a proposal
After sailing for two days, this magical bead no longer flickered, but lit up directly for a long time, from the outside, the thing is just a few common stones, and when you get close with the naked eye, you can find that this bead is nested with layers of carving technology, whether it is a pattern or text that has been reduced to a very small size, it will undoubtedly shock everyone, but because it is too small, no one can see it clearly, so Captain Vic asked the princess to hold this string of beads, and then removed a few laminations from the magnifying glass on the hunting ship, and played with it carefully~。 Soon, Captain Vic found something even more amazing on the shiny beads, although there seemed to be only six beads, but there were six more layers in it, this kind of craftsmanship, even if you find the best skilled craftsmen in the royal city, you can't complete it, and the ingenuity of heaven is often not done by man, so Vic is even more convinced that Lance is not a simple guy, and he should not be with the wrong person
And before Lance woke up from the coma, Vic called on everyone to repair the holes in the cabin, while pinching the bead to dive into the sea, for the first time, Vic has not yet reached the peak of the sea, he has already felt that the bead and a certain object in the deep sea have a certain induction, Vic hesitated to continue diving, only to find that far under the sea, there is another object of the same color as this bead swimming, so the excited Vic, the first thought of letting Lance also come to see, maybe this bead is a token to summon a monster, if Lance can have a powerful left arm and right armIt must be a good thing for the whole team, and even if nothing happens, Lance can come and see what happened, and he can explain the reason to the brothers on the ship
However, Vic really didn't expect that this guy, who originally thought it was a huge sea fish or a monster, turned out to be a dragon~~
.....
.....
Lance froze and counted the answers in his heart
"This bead is a relic given to me by my mother~", Lance said to the white dragon with the induction in his heart
"This thing flashes and flashes, so our ship follows it forward to this point~", Bick also hurriedly said, anyway, we have to die together, and we must give an explanation why we can go to the forbidden land demarcated by the white dragon~
"I didn't ask you, centaur!", the White Dragon clearly didn't like Captain Vic
"What's your mother's name?" the white dragon continued
"Sivir, Dax Sivir~", Lance quickly added
"Hmm~, I haven't heard of this name, but the Dax family, as if I still remember something about them, when they asked me, they sent the elite to cruise in the sea for several months, and finally found me, and quickly sacrificed a lot of delicious food for me, so I was willing to help and gave them this string of beads, hey~ You see, I was almost confused by you, hateful human. This can't be called a bead, this is [Forgotten Shell], so even if this thing reaches your hands, it is estimated that it is the fate of a tyrannical thing, but I didn't expect that after so many years, I actually let me see it again~"
The white dragon sighed at the encounter with this string of shells, and even began to play with the dragon whiskers again for a while
Lance calmed down and asked carefully
"We also came here because of the guidance of this bunch of shells, I am so sorry for the interruption before, may I ask, can we go?", Lance almost wanted to leave this place immediately, and stay with a dragon, it was too painful!
But now, the dragon turned his head to Lance, and asked with genuine curiosity
"People who have always come here have asked for me, or have been eaten by me, if you have no desires, then naturally you want to choose the latter?"
"Ahh
So Lance's brain was running like a flint, and then he dared to propose it, which even moved the white dragon
"We're here just to tell you a story~, a story about this bunch of shells!", Lance looked at the white dragon respectfully, and then pointed to his chest and nose, as well as the bubbles that were exhaling~, it is rumored that dragons can not only destroy the world, but also create [shelters] in the sea , Lance wants to fight for the opportunity to communicate with this dragon more, but the scene at this moment makes it extremely difficult for Lance to think of a few more words in his head, after all, under the pressure of water, human beings will become uncomfortable, this situation is collectively referred to as drunk diving, Lance's head began to dizzy, and his vision gradually blurred, if there is really no miracle [Shelter] appears, maybe before being swallowed by this dragon, Lance will be drunk and faint directly. Presumably, the situation of Captain Vic next to him is much better, after all, the races are different, and naturally there are more possibilities to survive in this deep sea space
In fact, Lance felt a little wrong from the depth of one-tenth of a league, as if he had drunk a small glass of wine, and then continued to go back and forth, the sea water entering this mouth was still salty to death, but every sip would make Lance's head more and more groggy, as if he was drinking the taste of spirits, until the two came to the peak of the submarine mountain, Lance felt that he should have drunk half a barrel of high-strength spirits, so in the process of being played by the white dragon, Lance has been worried about whether he will really get drunk, so he desperately used Captain Vic's stubble to remind himself that he is still alive~
The white dragon seemed to know what Lance meant, and there was a little recognition and admiration in his surprised eyes, this human warrior is indeed not to be underestimated, and he actually knew how to buy time for himself at a critical moment, so the white dragon was not in a hurry to eat the two, but seriously wanted to hear the story hidden in the heads of these two little guys. Soon, the sea current entered the mouth under the breath of the white dragon, and the throat of the entire white dragon seemed to be swollen, and then quickly filtered the seawater from the cheeks on both sides of the dragon's chin, and the whole throat returned to normal, so after repeated twice, there was already a large section of gas between the throat and the stomach of the white dragon, which was like the process of a fish obtaining oxygen through the gills, but the white dragon was not a fish directly obtaining oxygen through the gills to enter its own blood circulation, and still had to go through the throat, so, the rumored [ Shelter], which is a large blister spit out by the white dragon
The blister turned oval when it came out of the white dragon's mouth due to the pressure, but it was enough for Lance to hold it, and as for Vic, he didn't need it to stay in the sea at all. So the huge bubble pressed under the tentacles of the white dragon, and it stopped peacefully, and the white dragon also began to ask questions with great interest
"Who the hell are you? You want to tell a story for a dragon, you must know that if something is wrong, you may be eaten!"
"Well, presumably this string of beads, oh no, this string of shells has a considerable relationship with Lord Bailong, so I just told the story I know to Lord Bailong, and before this thing is returned to its original owner, I will have an explanation~" , Lance is no longer afraid to death in his heart, anyway, so many difficulties have been overcome before, some are based on the power of the tongue, some are based on the special effect of the blue flame, and some rely on reasonable judgment, so Lance no longer complained about this encounter, reached out of the blister, and motioned to Vic to take the beads. Then, Lance slowly stroked the string of treasures that glowed faintly in his hand, the only thing his mother left for himself, and remembered the story of a long time ago, at that time, Lance was just sensible~
"My mother had been carrying this thing with me long before my father and mother met, and she told me that it was a relic left to her by her grandmother, so she always carried it with her. And my mother's grandmother used to say to my mother, 'When you meet the right person, the beads will glow with a faint blue glow, and you won't have to worry about who to choose', so my mother left her hometown with the beads and searched the whole continent for someone who could make this thing shine."
"Mother **** feet, walked through the barren earth and volcanoes, found the first person who can make this bead shine, that guy is a terrifying night beast, the legendary mountain werewolf, along the way with the mother never give up, but this bead only lit up one, so the mother can only choose to escape, when she was chased to the edge of the cliff, another can choose to jump off the cliff, and is not willing to commit to this terrible and greedy guy"
Speaking of this, Lance was a little fragmented, after all, Mother Sivir had never told him about these contents, and it was only when Lance heard the whispers between his mother and father in the middle of the night that he vaguely stored them in his mind
But the white dragon seemed to be looking forward to this story, so he urged
"Hurry up, don't stop!", this expectant tone made Vic outside the blister can't help but pinch a cold sweat for Lance
Lance sorted out his thoughts and continued to talk~
Then the mother did not fall to her death, but was rescued by the fishermen, and after several twists and turns, she was sent to the legendary Far North, where the beads once again glowed blue, but there were only two of them. The great chief of the Far North was willing to give up all his wives and concubines and propose to his mother. But the haughty mother decided not to waver until she found the right person, so before everyone could react, she secretly got on the boat bound for Fira, and then for several months of drifting on the sea, the beads in her mother's hand dimmed and never shone again."
"My mother had been wandering back and forth across the continent for almost a year, and even when my mother herself was about to give up, all of a sudden the beads lit up, one by one, and then went out one by one. Let the mother cry with joy, is the person in fate about to appear, but there is still no half a decent figure around her, and the mother soon fell into sorrow again. So my mother sang softly on the stone bridge next to the royal city, and the song drifted with the wind to my father, who was drinking."
Saying this, Bai Long's eyes suddenly widened, presumably saying something that interested this guy
"So the father came out of the tavern and looked for the direction where the mother was, but the mother didn't know it, and continued to sing~, because her heart had already decided, to return to her homeland, this string of beads was simply a big joke, and it took the mother to run around for a whole year, without any result"
"And then~", Lance deliberately paused in his tone to make his head clearer
"And then what?", the white dragon was also excited, and even his breathing became compact
"Then, my father secretly approached my mother, and from behind I closed my mother's waist to protect it, and I kept laughing and saying, 'I also said who sang so well, I didn't expect it to be such a lovely person~', and it turned out ~~"
"Don't sell it!!What is the result?", Bai Long obviously hated Lance's interruption
"As a result, my mother punched the rascal in the stomach, and my father was so beaten that he had no power to resist it, so he could only kneel and beg for mercy."
"Hahaha", White Dragon, laughed!
"Then, the mother was ashamed and wanted to throw the father from the bridge into the sea to feed the fish, but at this moment, the father suddenly reversed the situation, and the father, who was originally held in the mother's hand, actually held the mother in his arms in the next moment, and the string of beads was all lit up~"
So the mother looked at the person in front of her in surprise, with a smile on the corner of her mouth under the bridge of her towering nose, and her deep and bottomless eyes seemed to tell her mother that she was the person she was waiting for, but the wine in her mouth was too strong and disgusting, just when her mother wanted to be kissed by her father, her father suffered again~"
"What's the matter?", the white dragon said curiously
"Because my father's hand was not honest at all, he moved to her chest when my mother was not paying attention, and naturally, my mother beat this hooligan half to death again~, but since I have already met it, I can't let it go easily, so my mother still decided to find a place to ask clearly, so ~~"
"This question, this answer Soon after, I was pregnant~", Lance said, his mouth was dry, but the sea water could not quench his thirst, so he could only wait for the result
Unexpectedly, after listening to it, Bai Long fell into deep thought
"It seems that the rumors are true~, this string of shells really has this effect, although it shouldn't have been used this way", Bai Long sighed, and without waiting for Lance to speak, Bai Long continued
"Nothing in the world lasts forever, neither power nor power, life or death, and even the day when even the flame may be extinguished. But only when you find the one who belongs to you, before everything is empty, will there be some meaning in living, this string of shells is a snail of memory from the bottom of the abyss, and we usually call it [Oath Shell]. The dense text on it will emerge when it blooms with blue light, and it contains ancient words that are difficult to read, as if what is described in these languages is all the fate of those who possess shells, and this half of the [Oath Shell] in your hand was originally a gift from me, but because of those things that are so old, I have to want to abandon it. I never thought that it would shine as it should, because not everyone can make this [Oath Shell] recognize, and not everyone can find another person in the vast world who can continue to maintain this luster, let alone all six shells glow at the same time, this kind of opportunity, maybe not once in a hundred years~"
"Lord White Dragon, I didn't get it!", Lance said bluntly
"Idiot!", the white dragon actually said this sentence from the sensor, so frightened that Lance almost wanted to jump, and Bick, who heard some words next to him, also trembled
"Your mother has neglected some things, each string of oath shells, there are only three of them, and the string in your hand is not only left by your mother, but also left by your father, otherwise why do you think the two would meet, why would they give birth to you?"
"In the whole world, there are only seventy-two, a total of twenty-four strings of oath shells. Ancient covenants, traditional vows, marriages determined by heaven and earth, these traditions, human beings generally do not have, nor have they had, this is something that only dragons have. But now the world has changed a lot, and the dragon's secret treasure has gradually fallen into the human world, becoming something that you reptiles also talk about. But I really didn't expect you to find where I am, and you can make this shell shine, so I'm curious to know, what kind of person are you?"
After that, the white dragon's tentacles wrapped Vic around, and then threw it violently, Captain Vic couldn't even moan, just like the heavy ballista that was fired, flying towards the sea, and Lance was stunned when he saw this scene~
Then, the giant dragon in front of him gradually transformed, and the surrounding sea water became extremely turbid in the distortion of this body, as if all the sand and gravel were rotating and flying back and forth around the body of the white dragon, and gradually little by little, the head of the white dragon became smaller, and the tail and wings also shrank a lot, just when Lance was stunned, the body of the white dragon had shrunk to the same size as a normal human, and then from the swirling sand and stone, a white hand stretched out and cut Lance's bubbles
Lance looked dizzily at this hand, and even held a string of oath shells, this shell and the string in Lance's hand were flickering in tandem, one after another, never stopping.....
