Chapter 14: The Dragon
The patrol captain who walked on the street like a mourning exam, walked towards the center of the city with Mo Yan and the others, and his rare depressed expression attracted the attention of passers-by on the road, these soldiers who often acted in front of civilians, few people could let them do this.

As a busy commercial city, the streets are much wider than in other cities, and most of the buildings on both sides are mostly shops. In such a world where production capacity is not developed, the former lord of this place is also an insightful person who can recognize the impact of transportation on commerce.
If it weren't for Malfoy's bloody purge of the entire family because of his involvement in politics, he would have been able to make this place more prosperous, but politics is such a change, and it is not necessarily possible to sit in a position if you have the ability. Today's lord of Madrid is mediocre, but he respects his uncle, at least on the surface.
On this continent, most of the lords of empires and kingdoms live in fortified castles, and the city of Kari is no exception. Many castles have been replaced, and because of their excellent financial revenues, they are not large but quite sturdy, and the walls of the castles are whitewashed with white paint, and the few minarets and tops are covered with red tiles.
Although the design of small windows for defensive considerations makes this fantastic castle a lot darker in appearance, life is always more important than good looks.
As the last line of defense in the city, an excellent castle is an important weight for the lords to hold out to the end in the siege. In the history of the empire, there was a lord who defended the castle in the city for nearly half a year, and waited for the army that came to rescue him.
In front of Kari Castle is a huge square. As part of the castle's defenses, the ground is made of unusually solid rammed earth, and the surface is paved with finely polished white stone bricks. Although the patrol captain deliberately slowed down his pace, the road would always end, and Mo Yan and his party finally arrived in front of the castle.
"What sound does it see?"
Mo Yan raised his head to look at the blue sky, where large chunks of clean white clouds floated, and the sun occasionally appeared through the gaps in the clouds, and then disappeared again. Mo Yan never gets tired of looking at the unpolluted sky, which is rarely seen in industrialized cities, and he has no spare money to travel to those deserts where no one is located.
Looking at the strangely dressed vendors in the square, Mo Yan sighed a little at fate, it was so unfathomable. In the dirty city where he used to stay, personal prowess had long lost its proper meaning and was reduced to a means of strengthening the body, and now that what he had learned came in handy, I really don't know whether to be happy or frustrated.
"Maybe you heard me wrong. ”
Hearing Mo Yan's words, Camos also looked up at the sky and listened carefully with his ears sideways, but there was nothing wrong with it except for the shouts of the vendors soliciting customers. After listening carefully for a while, Mo Yan finally admitted that he was a little sensitive, and the faint chirping might just be an illusion.
Camos's heraldic ring played a big role, and the four of them entered the castle without any hindrance. No matter where a noble title is, it is not something that a soldier can afford to provoke, let alone a nobleman who comes is not small.
Looking at those soldiers whose waists were straightened, and who were afraid of making some mistakes and dishonoring the lord, Mo Yan had a general understanding of Camos's identity. He is even more curious about a person who can obviously rely on his identity to eat, but he must be like a small trader and travel from south to north in person.
When they met in the first tavern, Mo Yan had already seen the difference between him and the people around him, but he never thought that he could directly scare a soldier by using his name alone. The Sandra family in Maris, perhaps a mountain that others look up to. And the heir to this high mountain has become a small trader......
And this thing can solve the problem by clearly reporting its name, and let himself beat those guys wantonly for Mao?
Mo Yan emptied the questions in his mind, these actually had nothing to do with him, he just needed to know that Camos's character was not bad, then all the so-called identity issues had nothing to do with him. Educated by that old man, he didn't have the kind of consciousness that he had to grovel to the superiors.
The four people who entered the castle were arranged by the lord's butler to the reception room. Tasting the black tea and pastries brought by the maid, and without waiting too long, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in with a guard. With an unpretentious smile on his face, he exchanged aristocratic etiquette with Camos, and then sat down on the throne and began to talk.
The matter of the profiteers is not a big deal, and the only thing that can make this lord a little worried is the undead who met before entering the city. Madrid, frowning, whispered a few words to his guards, and the burly guy went out with the order.
"Those unscrupulous profiteers will be punished severely, and I have asked Ruhl to issue a wanted warrant, and the soldiers will be held accountable. Madrid frowned and said apologetically: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Karry, did those undead really appear in Camp Brie?"
"I vouch in the name of the nobility that everything I say is true. Camos said.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you. Madrid said with some embarrassment: "It's just that this matter is a little too appalling, and I will arrange for someone to verify it." But there are some things I don't understand, why you, as the heir of Thornland, ......"
Madrid's meaning is very clear, it seems to him that a nobleman would go to business at such a high price, especially since the family of the young man in front of him is the famous Thornland of Maris. Although he had also heard some rumors from his friends in Giza that were not very favorable to the young man in front of him, they were only rumors after all.
"My father intended to hand over the family to my younger brother. Camos didn't shy away from anything, and directly told the truth: "And because of some trivial matters, my relationship with my father is a little troublesome...... Stiff, I have been separated from the family, and I can only find a way to fend for myself. ”
Camos's statement confirmed the rumors, and Mo Yan clearly felt that the enthusiasm of the Madrid lord in front of him had subsided a lot. When the other party thinks that there is no need for too much contact, the so-called conversation can only be superficial, after talking about some so-called Giza anecdotes.
Camos, who was also sensitive to something, said some polite words and planned to get up and leave. This is not a small matter, and his goods are still stored in the chamber of commerce, and after a good rest tonight, they will continue to travel tomorrow.
"Whoa......
Clear chirps came from the window, and while it was impossible to see what was happening outside, the panicked screams of the crowd had been heard. The bell set at the top of the castle is rung as a warning when the city is in a major crisis. The burly man, who had left at first, slammed open the door of the reception room and rushed in.
"There's a dragon hovering over the city!"
Sweating profusely, he was short of breath, and in fact it wasn't just him, even Camos and the two mercenaries, who had just felt a palpitation, and now it was even stronger.
"That's what I just heard. Mo Yan looked like I had heard correctly, as if he had nothing to do, looked at Camos and the others who had begun to sweat, and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong with you?
Dragons are the most powerful creatures on this continent, and they have almost no natural predators, so they can be called the strongest in a single body. Aside from the epic monsters that hide in the shadows, there are few creatures on the continent that can be defeated in one-on-one battles. Although there have been dragon slaying warriors among humans, they are the corpses of a large number of soldiers, and they are a false name.
The almost invulnerable scales are the best armor, the sharp minions can chew even steel, and the unusually large body is like a hill. Not to mention that as a species of wisdom, they have powerful dragon magic. This kind of spell, which is different from the human system, not only requires the use of dragon language to be unleashed, but also requires a dragon-like powerful magic reserve.
As for other creatures, these dragons themselves have a kind of coercion, which other races call dragon power. According to the research of the mages, the so-called dragon power is the fear of the intelligent creatures on the continent in ancient times, who were hunted for a long time and hidden in the depths of their blood.
The various races that have now established civilization on the continent were nothing more than domestic animals of dragons in ancient times, being wantonly hunted and eaten by these big guys.
The appearance of the dragon made everyone feel like they were facing the enemy, and the ballistas on the castle were pushed out, and the giant crossbow arrows made of precious Mithril were taken from the castle lord's treasury and aimed at the figure hovering in the air. If the dragon is going to destroy, at least half of the people in the city will be killed or wounded.
"We have an agreement with the dragon. Camos was still uncomfortable, and even though he knew it was just an involuntary reaction from extreme fear, he was still embarrassed. Looking at Mo Yan, who looked calm, he said: "They rarely interfere in human affairs, and Maris is also far away from Dragon Island, so I don't know why he is here." ”
"He's down!"
The huge coercion overwhelmed everyone, but the dragon actually did nothing, and he landed slowly and vertically in the chaotic square, looking at the soldiers in the castle with indifferent eyes. I don't know if it was because of the nervousness or what, a crossbow bolt was accidentally fired, but it didn't cause any damage.
A strange force was on the surface of the dragon's body, and the crossbow bolt smashed directly into pieces.
"Oh ~ magic. Mo Yan looked at it curiously.
