Chapter 456: The Guest Arrives
Siegel watched the green dragon disappear little by little in front of his eyes, and all his spells had no effect on stopping it. Even if he twisted the time with maximum force, he could only slow down the speed of the collapse slightly, and he could never change the result. The green dragon Alenoz Eagles - his full name is unknown - eventually disappeared between heaven and earth.
On his skull is carved a map indicating the location of its owner. It is located at the easternmost point of the Old World, near the town of Sunrise. There are also a few spells next to the map that can help locate a more precise location. Other than that, the only thing left in the world for the green dragon was the space bag hidden in his heart. Since this is not part of the green dragon's body, it was able to survive the forces of destruction.
There are only four scrolls in the space bag, and the scrolls used to write the scrolls are all in the ancient dragon language, which needs to be carefully studied and translated. There is a great deal of power in the scrolls, but you can only feel it if you touch it with your hands. Siegel mourned the green dragon beside the unsinkable stone boat, then put the scroll away.
"He's dead. William came up and said, "But why is there no body left? What kind of spell can do such a thing?"
"There are a lot of them. Siegel said, "Elemental tides, the Great Crack, and my elemental aggregates. I beg you one thing, to keep the death of the green dragon a secret, and to say that he said something to me, and then he went into the sea and left. ”
"That's fine. I don't think the golden dragon cares about the disappearance of his companions, and the dwarves don't care, so I'll say whatever you say. William asked Siegel, "You knew this dragon before?"
"Yes, we used to fight side by side. Siegel closed his eyes and controlled his emotions. Don't let the tears flow. "It left me something. I'll go back to my room and have a look. These tuna are up to you. ”
"Hey. I like to eat, but I can't cook!"
"Anyway, you can eat it raw, just change your body. Siegel didn't want to say more, waved his hand and left the side of the ship.
The voyage of the unsinkable stone boat continued, and it was originally thought that the elves were already difficult to serve, but after the golden dragon moved in, the dwarves understood what it meant to be really difficult to serve. The pointy-eared forest species finally knows how to be self-sufficient, and if you don't care about him, he won't ask for anything. The golden dragon kept complaining about the dwarves' food, either because they couldn't get enough to eat. Either you don't eat well. When his stomach is finally full, he will dislike the cramped sleeping room and not be able to fully stretch his wings.
"It's not easy to have such a large room in the cabin for you to reveal your true identity, please understand. "The Dwarven King didn't have much to do, but he couldn't say it himself, but let his loyal guards say it. The brave dwarf was unharmed—the dragon admired his courage and loyalty, and let him go unscathed—the three-story cabin of the unsinkable stone boat was shattered by the dragon's tail that day, two warehouses and a galley were killed, and more than twenty dwarves were injured in the "accident."
The elves continue to "eat leaves" in their rooms, and Siegel and William also quietly "study spells". The dwarves finally understood that their own strength alone was not enough to form a check and balance. He couldn't drive away the dragon that would come to the meeting. Dragons and mages are known to have formed an agreement. This is the only time the dragon has made a compromise with another race. After paying a price, William decided to come forward and communicate with the golden dragon.
"Your tremor has affected the ship, and now there are two archmages on the ship. Such an act threatens the safety of the mage. If this argument seems far-fetched to you, then your actions have indeed affected the archmage's spell experiments, which is also a violation. William was unceremonious and rebuked the golden dragon harshly: "The meetings held by the Dwarven King are important for all races, and the same is true for the Mage Federation and the Mage Guild. We ask you to stop the vandalism!"
The golden dragon actually agreed.
Siegel didn't believe it would be that simple. Calling "you, you" to the dragon only makes the situation worse, and never abates. Especially after listening to the dwarven recount the whole thing that happened, Siegel had reason to believe that William had played some tricks in it.
The Transfiguration Master was blunt: "The dwarves have imprisoned me for a long time, and I just use this method to recover my losses. Jin Long was also bored, so he cooperated with me in this play. He took most of the benefits, so you wouldn't want to share some of them, would you?"
I really didn't know what words to use to evaluate William's behavior, so Siegel could only shake his head and let him play with the golden dragon. Maybe the next bad luck will be the elves, and William doesn't seem to like them either. The golden dragon is very willing to get involved again, maybe he thinks that William can transform into a dragon, and he will be of the same race as him?
Back in his room, Siegel decided to study the scroll in his hand until one of the Starry Kingdom attendees arrived—Evan or Aaron. As for the others, he neither understood nor cared about. For example, the underwater Naga who came on the boat a few days ago, even if Siegel has lived at sea for so long, they have never seen this race active, why did the dwarves invite such a reclusive creature to it?
The scrolls left to him by the green dragon Alenoz Aegs are all dragon binding spells, and in addition to detecting dragons, there are also commanding dragons, making dragons invisible, and most importantly, the dragon binding oath. This spell is the mage's strategic deterrent to the dragon, and it is the force guarantee of the agreement between the two. It stands to reason that this spell is strictly forbidden to be recorded on the scroll, and it is absolutely not allowed to be passed on, but what is the matter with this scroll?
Thinking about the relationship between the green dragon and its master, Siegel could only make a certain guess: the owner of the ten-sided dice was the only one who had mastered the dragon binding spell, but was not in the control of the Mage Guild. The magic of this world originated from dragons, and only by studying dragons can we understand magic at its roots, and thus find the secret of knowledge and the power of the god of magic.
All this speculation is based on the simple fact that the wielder of the dice and the god of magic are opposites. But is this really a fact or just a theory? Siegel decided to meet with Riele and the ten-sided dice holders before deciding. After studying the Dragon Binding Charm, he began to practice the control of his facial muscles in front of the mirror, and if he met Liele, he could hide his emotions and find the truth of the matter from him.
After more than a month at sea, the participants arrived one after another by various means of transport, and the dwarven unsinkable boat became lively. The addition of halflings and gnomes fills the place with laughter, and although they have not established a kingdom, the cultural customs passed down through blood still make them very united. On the other hand, the centaur tribe inhabits the northern mountains of the Old World and supplies the best horses to the Starry Kingdom. Although they were founded as a nation, their belligerent nature made their internal strife very fierce. In order to elect representatives to the dwarven council, more than 300 candidates were eliminated by nature - and if they died, they were eliminated.
A few days later, a large golden ship with a starry flag sailed from the east, and the horn sounded in the distance. Behind him were more than two dozen warships of various kinds, none of which were less than five masts. Heavily armed, ballistas, trebuchets and elite longbow shooters lined up on either side of the ship, watching with a determined gaze as the approaching unsinkable stone boats.
"Monarch of the Starry Kingdom and Guardian of Humanity, Aaron Starry I prepares to board the Dwarven Unsinkable Ship!" a loud herald stood beside the bow statue, proclaiming loudly over and over again with the power of magic. Until the Unsinkable Stone Boat stopped, more than twenty cables exchanged in the air, connecting the golden flagship of the Star Kingdom with the floating island.
A long gangway leads from the deck to the island, covered with a blue carpet. Four people carried a sedan chair and stepped on the carpet. Aaron's face was very pale, curled up in a blanket, and from time to time he wiped away tears with a handkerchief. The sea breeze made his eyes sore, the vibration made his bones moan in pain, and seasickness nearly killed him. But he persevered, gritted his teeth and got here.
He was followed by six loyal King's bodyguards, a combination of the best warriors and the most astute Assassins in the country, capable of keeping the King safe on any occasion or carrying out any of his orders. In addition to the servants, there are six bodyguards, and only the King of the Stars can get this treatment. The other delegates had to come alone, and even the mighty dragon was only one.
The dwarven king "Ice Fist" Stone personally received Aaron and guided him to the king, who had already been prepared. Aaron was very grateful for the dwarves' kindness, and coughed as he said, "I am very grateful to the dwarves for taking care of me personally. But I was in poor health and needed a doctor to be by my side at all times. Hopefully, the dwarves will allow two more slots. ”
Stone nodded in agreement, so the size of Aaron's retinue expanded again.
The king's boarding of the dwarven ship did not mean that the Royal Navy's mission was over. The fleet has been following the Unsinkable Ship at all times, always on alert. Siegel could see Aaron's starry flag fluttering on the mast all day long from the crystal glass window.
Aaron was accompanied by several representatives of the temple, the high-ranking priest of the Temple of Dawn, the chief priest of the Temple of Mother Earth, and the head of the Temple of the God of Warriors. Then, two representatives from the Mage Guild and the School City also walked down the gangway, they were Necromantic Archmage Bunian Charles and Liele.
The Necromantic Master looks like a dried corpse, and I don't know if it's the folds of the skin that make it look old, or if the aging brings the folds of the skin. He always wore a hood and shaded his eyes - if I looked like a ghoul, I would probably do the same thing as him.
He was always far away from the high-ranking priests of the Temple of Dawn, pausing from time to time to adjust his breathing before acting. He is said to be only about forty years old, but he looks like an old man who is dying.
As for Liele, he was already seventy-two years old, but he was still strong. He didn't need an entourage to support him or a hood to cover him, he just got off the ship with a tall white staff. The sunlight shone on his gray mage robes, reflecting a bright white light. Silver-white eye-shaped patterns are drawn on the corners of the robes, and they blink and observe vividly under the influence of magic.
The staff in his hand is the Archmage's Staff, the only artifact item that can be crafted by hand. The staff struck on the ground of the island, and Riele leaned on it and looked around. He saw Siegel and William, waved lightly at them, and then stroked his chest and gave a mage salute.
After William returned the salute, he excused himself and left. Siegel let out a long breath and walked up with a smile. (To be continued.) )
