Chapter 1397: Dragon Island Raiders - The First Step
The half-dragon dragon who moved his hands suddenly lost his momentum, and his forehead and back were the same as those of humans, and cold sweat broke out. The dragon scales that he was proud of, like a paper lake in front of this sword, did not work at all, and just inserted it into his body.
Whether or not to stab towards the dragon's heart is only in the other party's thoughts. No matter what the other party had to scruple about, he didn't make a move, and he didn't want to bet that this human wouldn't dare to kill.
Dragons have a lot of bad habits, but they don't gamble, because they just need to win. And the game of only winning and not losing is not called gambling.
Even if you don't talk about this magician who pierces the dragon's heart with a sword, the human next to him will firmly hold his claw blow, and he can't move. In terms of strength, this human being is not in his current form. And the other party seems to have more than enough, not trying his best to support it.
The silence was broken by applause, and Marku, the guardian of Dragon Island Town, said, "Two guests, I think that no matter what misunderstanding there is, it should be resolved at the banquet afterward. Now let's take the goods from the fleet and get them off the ship. If it is delayed, or if this batch of goods is damaged too much, I will also be responsible in front of the Dragon Emperor. ”
Lin didn't reply, just looked at Marcu. Sensing the wordless doubt, the humanized guardian half-raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that no one will cause trouble here." A battle with no chance of winning is meaningless to fight. The sword in your hand, and the one on your waist, are all weapons of the Chikiri clan. ”
Another dragon suffered, and the other humanized dragons who followed behind Marcu and were about to move were all silent. Especially when their leader pointed out that the weapon in the mage's hand was a box cut, most of the dragons were desperate to step forward.
Although the weapons of the Box-cutting clan have gradually fallen silent in recent years, they have become the only rumored weapons to survive. But dragons live a long life, and they are no strangers to Crate Cut, who can become the guardians of Dragon Island like Marcu.
If you want to say that among the people who have always received the name of dragon slayer, three or four out of ten use the box cut. Such a high proportion makes the dragons dare not care. The crate cut was enough to break through the defenses they were proud of, and it became common knowledge for the dragons.
There would be no dragon who would choose to confront it head-on after confirming that the person in front of him was using the infamous weapon. If you really want to challenge him, you need to plan separately. So at the moment, they don't have the slightest intention to fight.
Putting away the sword and retreating, Lin used the flashing technique to return to its original position in an instant, and only then did the dragon notice that something was wrong. The elusiveness of this magician does not seem to be due to his special speed, but for other reasons.
Because if it's a matter of speed, no matter how fast it is, there should be a process of moving. But no matter where such a magician appears, it seems to appear out of nowhere. That's why his attack was so caught off guard.
As Lin retreated, William also withdrew the long sword that held the dragon's claws and slowly retreated. On the human side, except for those ordinary people who seemed to be panicked, the two humans who dared to challenge the dragon didn't care if they were facing one head or a group. There was no trace of panic in his expression and eyes.
Marku, who didn't want to make a fuss, said: "I will inform you of the time and place of the dinner, please don't forget." Nodding slightly, he said hello and left with the dragons. In fact, if the princess hadn't provoked too much before, she wouldn't even want to come forward. If you do too much outside of your duties, you will suffer.
Finally sending the last group of dragons off the ship, Lin looked at the white sword saint who walked to his side, and sighed helplessly. William, of course, was puzzled by this sigh, and looked back with a puzzled look. Lin explained: "The things I have done recently have all started because of that kind of young child. I guess I was in conflict with my child, and I encountered this kind of uneducated. ”
William tilted his head, not knowing how to answer. I held it for a while before I came out: "Festival mourning." ”
Festival your sister! But considering that William can take care of other people's feelings, it is already a remarkable progress. Somebody doesn't care if his reaction is appropriate or not.
Compared to the two of them, the other ordinary people on the ship, as well as the people on the neighboring ships, who could see the situation of the ship, had mixed feelings in their hearts at this time. They should have complained about the magician who followed the ship, and caused them this great trouble; But considering the strength of the other party, this complaint is unspeakable. So everyone is holding back very hard, and their hearts are very stuffy.
Henry, as the patriarch of the family, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and William's father, had to come forward. It's just that how to solve the problem, his mind is also a mess. In the end, he only thought of the method that had been decided at the beginning, and said:
"I'd better take you directly to find the family's backer on Dragon Island. I would have had to walk up and deliver a list of goods. Even if the dinner is held today, it should be back in time. It's just that you have to be mentally prepared to say that it is a backer, but in fact, he will not help us much. It's just the goods we bring ourselves, and we mainly trade with that one. ”
Well, it's very old-fashioned, and you have to do something by the way. When he was doing business, he would take his face to see if there was a way to solve his problems, which was a very normal behavior. If you can't do it, it's just a drop by anyway, and this trip is not in vain.
This approach is not right or wrong, it just depends on the urgency of the matter. There is no hurry to get down to business, nothing to say; If you are in a hurry and are delayed by what you are doing along the way, it depends on which unlucky person is responsible.
But the plan is good, and Lin can't refute it. Anyway, I don't have an accurate idea, so let everything be.
Since you want to act, the flash technique is of course the best magic weapon to rush. But considering that William and Henry were not elven robes or other magical equipment with protective effects, using the flashing technique would either make them more effortless or expose them to risks, so Lin simply let Henry arrange it.
The old man, who was also familiar with the various doorways on Dragon Island, quickly arranged a small boat to connect people ashore. The main berth on the dock is still used to disembark the livestock on the fleet, which is the main purpose of this trip, and no one dares to slack off. Therefore, if others want to go ashore, they can only rely on small boats to connect and rush to the sandy shore to land on the island.
After getting on Dragon Island, naturally there are horse-drawn carriages to pick you up. And it's not an ordinary horse that pulls the cart, but a dragon horse with dragon blood. This is a divine steed that everyone can't ask for outside, but on Dragon Island, it can only be used to pull a cart.
It's not a waste, it's something that has to be done. Ordinary horses can't move normally on Dragon Island at all, because the dragons can't restrain their dragon power, so they can only use magical beasts like dragon horses to pull carts.
And with Henry, it was not only Lin and William, but also two stewards of the Greco Chamber of Commerce. They were in charge of carrying a list of the fleet's bootleg goods and going to trade with the dragons. After the two parties discuss the content of the transaction, they will deliver the goods to the door and exchange the agreed goods.
The reason why they don't directly bring the goods to the door to trade is because there are often dragons who stake all the things when they see the goods, and the things they take out to exchange them are not worth their value. Rather than this, it is better to negotiate in the early stage before sending things to the door.
At the stage of discussion, although the dragons are arrogant and like lions to open their mouths, they are still rational and do not regret the negotiation. If they were allowed to see things, it would be different. If you don't leave everything behind, it's like your whole body is uncomfortable.
According to someone, this is typical of OCD.
On the way to the carriage, Lindo asked about the old dragon he was going to meet. Henry didn't say much before, and Lin didn't ask much, because they both thought that this trip should be quite simple. But when he arrived at Dragon Island, he found that things were complicated, and Lin also had to put more thought into these trivial matters so as not to overturn the car.
It is not very accurate to say that the backer and main trading partner of the Greco Chamber of Commerce is an old dragon. Strictly speaking, the other party is an ancient dragon.
The average lifespan of the dragons of the Lost Land, regardless of the type of dragon, is between two hundred and three hundred years old. After 200 years old, you can be called 'old'. Like Augustus, the old black dragon in someone's house, who was two hundred and thirty-three years old.
But the so-called average life expectancy is not the normal age at which dragons die of old age; It's the age when the dragons keep dying and finally kick the iron plate and die. Even if dragons are regarded as intelligent creatures, there are many people who have earned the name of dragon slayer in every era.
The reasons for this are not difficult to understand. Let's just say that someone came to the Karlsruhe Empire and had the opportunity to contact the dragons, but when could they not be able to get in touch with the conflict?
This gifted, naturally high-rise race at the top of the food chain, has enough strength to make them stand out from all living things. Such self-confidence, of course, is exchanged for their arrogance and domineering.
But the Lost Land is a world of individual power. It's not wrong that dragons are the strongest race, but there are always exceptions that are stronger than dragons if they can't stand other races.
So what happens when a dragon that has not yet reached its peak, or is starting to go downhill from its peak, meets a strong man of another race?
There are usually two outcomes. For one, the dragon was once again victorious. Second, there is one more person in this world who has the name of a dragon slayer.
In addition, the dragon clan has rare magic materials all over the body, and there is no age limit. Therefore, those dragons that have entered the old age have simply become the best targets for human hunting. As a result, few dragons have been able to die well.
In order to prevent the old dragon from being deliberately hunted, there is a dragon tomb, the final place where all dragons belong. And in order to protect the dragon tomb, Dragon Island has become a place for dragons to guard.
The above is a public statement. Lin judged according to common sense, and the logic of its content is quite reasonable. But whether there is anything hidden or not, it's hard to say.
