Chapter 207: The Stolen Dragon Egg
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Rog raised his hands to look around at the green dragons surrounding him, and said loudly, "We are not thieves, we are messengers from Lunar Shadow City, and we are here to assist the dragons in defending against the threat of the Sacred Weapon from William, the King of Dark Wizards." ”
He glanced at the distrustful eyes of several dragons and continued, "The Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings of the human race should have reached the Dragon Cliff, and Captain Antonio is our friend, so we have made an appointment with him to meet here!"
"The human knights are indeed in the Dragon Cliff, not only them, but also the human priesthood here!" The words of the dragon made Rogge feel a little relieved, but before he could relax down, the words behind the dragon made him suddenly startled: "But they have all become prisoners of the Dragon Cliff now!"
"What? Why is this happening?" Everyone on the tree man involuntarily stood up when they heard this, and several dragons opened their bloody mouths to attack, Rog hurriedly stopped the dragon and turned back to calm everyone, and then asked the dragons why.
"We don't need to explain anything to you, but you sneaky humans have been getting into trouble since you came to Dragon Valley!" shouted the Green Dragon Leader, "Get down from the Treants, throw away your weapons, and come with us!"
Rogge pondered for a moment when he heard this, and felt that there must be some misunderstanding here, it is not the best strategy to turn against the dragons at this moment, it is better to follow them into the valley, maybe he can meet Antonio, and then ask about the situation and find a way to solve it.
He agreed to the dragons' request, turned back to Murphy and the others, and the three followed him down from the tree, took off the sword and fire gun on his body and wrapped it into a cloak, one dragon grabbed the package with its claws, and Rogge and the others entered the dragon valley under the escort of the dragon.
"These big ugly dragons aren't going to eat us, are they?" asked the little owl whispering, hiding behind Rogge's neck.
"Luckily, they're not the same as you, so they shouldn't be in a hurry to eat us. Rogge said unhurriedly.
"I don't eat people, human flesh is not delicious!" the little furball pouted and sneered.
"You haven't eaten it, how do you know if it's delicious or not?" said Rog as he surveyed his surroundings, noticing that there were large and small caves scattered on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, and many of the caves were inhabited by dragons.
"That's right, maybe I should find someone to bite and taste another day, who should I look for?" Little Furball looked back at the three people behind him, snickered and muttered, "Just bite the stupid girl!"
"Shut up, little villain, we're in place. Rogge spoke softly, and Lilith looked back to see that he had stopped at the entrance of a cave that was closed by a row of huge keels, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen.
The green dragon who led the team lifted the keel that closed the hole with the dragon claw, and motioned for Rogge and the others to enter, Rogge turned around and exchanged glances with Murphy, Catherine, and Grace, and walked in, and after the four of them entered, the green dragon closed the keel door again.
"Well, let's see what's here. Rog led the three of them to walk inside, and faintly heard footsteps coming from inside, and they turned the corner of the cave, and saw a wide and tall cave, and saw a group of people coming from a distance.
"Hey, Captain, I can't believe that our next reunion will be in the prison of the Dragons!" Rogge walked towards Antonio with open arms, and the Knight Leader walked up to him with a helpless look on his face and said, "You guys are finally here, why did it take so much time?"
"Oh, that's a long story. Rog glanced down at the gauntlet of the fallen angel that he had not handed over to the dragons, shrugged his shoulders at Antonio, and suddenly saw a man in a golden robe stop behind the knight leader.
"Yo, the High Priest is here, too!" Rogge smiled and beckoned to Goethe, "How can you be reduced to a prisoner of such a noble position?
"Lone wolf, don't gloat, it's no one good for us to be locked up here, it will only make Wilhelm proud!" Goethe said with a cold face.
"That's what I want to say, too!" Rogge shrugged his shoulders and looked at the beautiful face of the mermaid guardian Tali who came forward, and smiled, "Maybe Miss Tali can tell me what is going on here? Even a beautiful and noble young lady like you has not been treated with the courtesy of the Golden Dragon King." ”
"This is indeed a strange thing," Tali said to Rogge, looking at Antonio worriedly, "When I came here with Captain Antonio, the High Priest and the priesthood had already arrived here, and we met the Golden Dragon King together and told him about his intentions. ”
"Sounds like everything went well, but what about then?" asked Rogge, curious.
"We settled down here, surveying the surroundings of Dragon Nest and the hinterland Dragon Cliff, looking for a possible location for William as a breakthrough point, but at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred. Antonio took Tully's words and continued, "There have been reports of the female dragon who is responsible for caring for the young dragons, and the eggs in the nursery have been lost. ”
"Lost the dragon egg?" Rogge frowned when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "No wonder those green dragons said that we were thieves as soon as they saw us, and the eighty percent dragon clan blamed you for the loss of the dragon egg, right?"
"Yes, the dragons believe that the members of the two regiments stole the dragon eggs, but they did not find the dragon eggs from our station, and they could not find the lost dragon eggs, so they locked us up here, saying that they would not let us out until they found the dragon eggs. Antonio said with a sigh.
"Did the two leaders ask their respective members if they had anything to do with it?" Rogge's gaze shifted back and forth between Antonio's face and Goethe's, and the high priest was furious when he heard this, and glared: "Lone wolf, you dare to slander the Holy Priest of the Holy Church for stealing!"
"High Priest, we must first eliminate internal problems before we are qualified to negotiate with the Golden Dragon King!" Rogge said as he stared at him unhurriedly.
"I don't think it was the members of the two regiments who did it," Antonio waved his hand to stop Goethe, who was about to speak, and said to Rogge: "Even if they want to do this, there is no condition, our members are all here for the first time, and they are not familiar with the environment here, and they don't even know where the dragon eggs are, how can they steal the dragon eggs?"
"And in the past few days since the incident, the Dragon Clan has turned the Dragon Valley inside and out, if it was really our people who stole it, it should have been searched out long ago. Tali echoed softly.
"That makes sense. Rogge bowed slightly in agreement, and turned back to Catherine, Grace, and Murphy, "The three of you can rest here for a while, and you can also tell Miss Tali and Head Antonio about our experience, and if the High Priest is interested, you are welcome to listen to it together." ”
He turned around and raised his eyebrows at Goethe, half-defiantly, half-playfully, and turned away from the group and walked out of the cave, when Antonio stepped forward and stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Rogge looked back and smiled: "Find the egg!"
He came to the entrance of the cave without looking back, and shouted to the green dragon guards guarding outside: "Hey, brother of the dragon clan, please help me inform the Golden Dragon King, I am a student of the Grand Druid Augustine of the Oak Temple, my name is Rogge, I can help you recover the lost dragon eggs and find out who is the thief who stole the eggs." ”
The green dragon outside the door looked at Rog suspiciously, hesitated for a moment and sent someone to report to the Golden Dragon King, and after a long time, a giant dragon came to the cave and ordered the guards to release Rogge and take him to the Dragon Cliff in the heart of the Dragon Valley.
The dragon grabbed him and flew over the intricate valley, and Rog observed the surrounding terrain along the way, and found that the geography in the dragon valley was extremely complex, with towering cliffs, low depressions, wide flat land, narrow paths, criss-crossed, and looked like a huge labyrinth.
He remained silent and followed the green dragon to the highest mountain peak in the deepest part of the Dragon Valley, which was the Dragon Cliff where the Golden Dragon King lived, the southern part of the Dragon Cliff was close to the Daxi Sea, and the holy weapon that Rogge and the others and William were fighting for was located in the mountain below the Dragon Cliff.
The green dragon landed on the edge of the cliff at the top of the dragon cliff with Rogge, it did not let go of Rog immediately, but first let out a few long howls at the entrance of the cave on the opposite side of the cliff, and the two golden dragons guarding here heard the same roar into the cave, and after a while, there was a response from the cave.
The green dragon let go of Rogge and gently nudged him with his claws, motioning for him to go to the cave, and Rogge strode past the two golden dragons and entered the cave without hurrying.
After walking a downhill road guarded by golden dragons, Rogge came to the entrance of a cave, and the first thing that caught his eye was the gold coins covering the ground, almost the entire cave, and when his feet stepped on the thick carpet of gold coins, he felt a little unsteady on his feet.
In front of him, in addition to mountains of gold coins and piles of jewels, the shining light of various crystal gems reflected the stone walls of the cave in a colorful way, and the long sword inlaid with jewels was inserted into the pile of gems and gold coins, and the cold front of the sword reflected Rogge's face like a mirror.
A huge golden dragon was entrenched on the golden mountain in the center of the cave, looking at the tiny human walking towards him with a pair of fiery red eyes, and each piece of golden scale on its body was larger than the entire person of Rogge, shining with a blinding brilliant light, making people dare not look directly.
"You're Augustine's student?" Seeing Rogge stop at the foot of the golden mountain, the Golden Dragon King spoke slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, in Lower Rogue is a pupil of Master Augustine, and now he is a witcher. Rogge bowed respectfully.
"I don't care who your student is," the Golden Dragon King said in an arrogant tone, "Even if Augustine himself came here, it would be impossible to take those humans with him, unless you can really retrieve the lost dragon eggs as you say, and prove that those humans are innocent." ”
"That's exactly what I'm here to see you for," Rogge raised his head and looked up at the Golden Dragon King's huge body, and said confidently, "I will do my best to help the dragons retrieve the lost dragon eggs and find out the thieves who stole the dragon eggs!"
"Very well, then tell me, where are you going to start?" the Golden Dragon King asked in a contemptuous tone as he looked at the liar with the eyes of the liar.
"If you can, please tell me about the distribution of the guards in the Dragon Cliff first, or better if you can let me see the distribution of the guards myself, and then I will also need to take a look at the nursery of the young dragon, which is where the dragon eggs were stolen. Rogge replied confidently.
"Of course you can, but before that, you'd better explain to me first, what's going on?" The Golden Dragon King cast a cold gaze behind Rogge, who was stunned for a moment, turned around slowly, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.
