10 gifts
In the midst of the fortress, the lord and Karn discussed the king's affairs as they recounted the past.
"So, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Hmm."
"Do you need some soldiers to protect you?"
"Haha, if Anka really wants to kill me, no matter how many people you send to protect me."
"I heard that next week is the king's birthday, I wonder what gifts you have prepared? If you can't find it, my inventory can be opened to you. ”
Karn then replied perfunctorily, "I remember my father was very fond of hunting, and if he could, weapons or rare prey would be fine, and if he could, dragon bones would be good." ”
Hearing this, the lord of the castle immediately stood up and said excitedly: "There is a nest of flying dragons living on the mountain to the north, if I can, I will personally bring the dragon head back, but I hope you can tell the king the deeds of his loyal servants." ”
As he spoke, he patted his chest, as if this kind of thing was easy for him, Karn couldn't help but laugh in his heart, after all, he knew very well what his friend was, and said that he would personally take down the Wyvern, but the truth must have been that his soldiers kept sending them to death until he had the opportunity to kill the Wyvern, and then he went up fully armed.
Karn said after calming the agitated castle master, "No need, I'll go with Anka, after all, I don't want to see yesterday's incident happen again, I'd better take him with me." ”
Karn then managed to take Ankka with him on the pretext of visiting the inhabitants who had been relocated to the ruins the previous night, and Karn refused to go with the soldiers to the north.
In the north, Anka saw those displaced people who were rebuilding their homes, and everyone came forward to greet them enthusiastically after seeing Anka, and Anka found that the entire ruins had been rebuilt after a night of emergency reconstruction, and more than a dozen stone houses would definitely be restored to prosperity in a few months.
"Thanks to the ruins here, they aren't particularly damaged." Karn stepped forward.
Karn then pointed to the mountains in front of him and said, "I've heard that there's a nest of dragons living up ahead, and it's likely to threaten their safety. ”
Ankh asked with some confusion, "If we don't bother them, will they come and attack us?" ”
Karn thought quickly and said, "Those dragons are greedy and violent, and in their eyes there is no difference between humans and cattle and sheep. ”
"Alright! Let's take a look, and if we can talk about it, then we can talk about it, and if it really doesn't work, we will solve these hidden dangers. ”
When they heard that the two were going to find the dragon, the people all showed expressions of fear, and they all tried to dissuade them.
"Those flying dragons are very strong, they can breathe fire, summon water, spit poison, and all kinds of spells, and their biggest tower is a tower that can smash a wall with just a palm."
Karn snorted and drew his sword, saying, "The hilt of my sword is made of keel, and wyverns are not invincible. ”
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, the crowd began to hope that they could help together, so they could help Ankka at a critical moment.
After a period of bickering, a final agreement was reached that several adult males would bring Anka to the bottom of the mountain with food and medicine, so that Anka could be rescued in time.
Ankka saw more ruins on the way, and Karn stepped forward and explained, "These are all done by evil dragons, who take advantage of the wind to attack human settlements in bad weather, and this place suffers the most damage because of its proximity to a dragon's den. ”
Ankh remained silent about this, because in his opinion, humans are completely different individuals, and those dragons who have the same ability to speak as humans should also be able to talk.
Ankh said after a moment, "I think dragons should have something to talk to, after all, dragons can talk and should be able to understand our words." ”
Karn turned back and asked, "Who told you that Wyverns can talk?" ”
"O bishop who used to preach in the slave market!"
While the two were talking, they finally came to the foot of the mountain where the legendary evil dragon lived, and after settling the crowd that had come to deliver food and medicine, the two began to climb up the near-vertical mountain.
Just as the two of them came to a cave to rest, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, which made the two of them instantly cheer up and draw their swords together to make a defensive stance.
"Be careful."
As Karn fired a flaming arrow, the two began to move forward with torches.
And in the depths of the cavern, a huge silver wyvern was stretching its waist, opening its eyes to look at a dragon egg beneath him.
The giant wyvern breathed cold air and said in the language of the dragon, "Don't worry, I won't let humans steal you, this time I will stay by your side all the time." ”
The silver wyvern had been out for a long time, and his mate had not returned since he had gone out, and there was not much food left for the winter, but luckily the dragon eggs were already showing signs of hatching.
Nearby, Ranga and two paladins were approaching the Dragon's Lair.
Ranga looked relaxed and asked, "Why are you so nervous, haven't we already used hidden magic?" ”
One of the paladins responded: "After all, it's better to be careful if it's a dragon hunt." ”
"What do you do when you say that dragon hunting? There is no shortage of dragon materials in China! ”
The two paladins looked at each other and said in unison, "Execute the order, don't ask anything else." ”
The three of them then remained silent for a while, until they could clearly see the wyvern below.
The three of them poked their heads out of the cliff above the silver wyvern, and Ranga immediately jumped down from a high place with a whimper, and in the wyvern's shocked eyes, Ranga stabbed nine poison darts on the wyvern's scales.
Suddenly, the flying dragon screamed in pain, because of insufficient nutrition, physical strength did not recover well, so it could not let the poison dart leave the reverse scale, so it temporarily lost its ability to move, it looked at the three people who slowly walked in with puzzled eyes, as if it was still wondering why it didn't notice their arrival.
"Or the descendants of the Frost Dragon King still think it's so powerful, hurry up and bring it back! It's cold in here. Ranga kept urging.
The two paladins then quickly opened a large, not-so-stable portal, restrained the wyvern with a rope, and summoned the Stone Golem to begin the transport.
As the egg hatched during the transport, a small silver dragon poked its head out of its shell and began to scream with hunger.
Langa stepped forward and said, "Hehe, I just heard that the young dragon's meat is quite replenishing. ”
The wyvern roared as if threatening, and the paladin stabbed the wyvern in the neck with a spike, making it difficult for the wyvern to spit out frost or use magic.
Just as Ranga wanted to take the young dragon away, Ankka and Karn suddenly arrived, and Ranga was instantly frightened when he saw Anka stunned in place, and then left the eggshell and the paladin and fled, while the poor young dragon watched his mother being kidnapped by humans and could only continue to scream.
Karn suppressed the unhappiness of his prey being robbed and said, "There are no other wyverns around, and there is a young dragon here, kill it!" ”
Ankka looked at the young dragon who was only calf tall and hesitated for a long time and was about to make a move, when the magic sword Kajudir suddenly found that Ankh couldn't understand the language of the flying dragon and used ancist magic on Anka, which allowed Ankka to directly understand what the young dragon in front of him was saying.
"Please don't ......"
Such a voice poured directly into Anka's head, although Anka was a little dazed, he still thought that the other party had the magic ability to translate for a specific target, and then Anka put down his sword and realized that the other party was really a high-level intelligent creature with emotions, and he was also a cub, which reminded him that he was also so helpless and pitiful when he was a child.
Thinking that the other party's father or mother might have been captured, and it didn't seem to have other Wyvern guardians, it would have starved to death if it was left here like this.
Ankka pondered for a moment, deciding that even if the wyvern who was caught was really an evil dragon, then the young dragon that had not harmed anyone should not be killed.
Ankh then said, "Is it allowed to raise dragons in the city?" ”
Faced with some problems with Anka, Karn suddenly felt a little dazed, after all, mentioning this kind of thing without warning still caught him off guard.
Karn thought to himself, "Why? Just suddenly want to raise? There's no reason for that! No, it may also be a deliberate betrayal of me, after all, he was indeed a little rude last night, and he couldn't agree too quickly, so that he could see that I had seen his thoughts. ”
Karn asked, "Because of what?" Its parents are greedy and violent dragons. ”
"I don't want to do anything to the cub, and I hear her begging for mercy, and besides, is it unforgivable for a man to sin against his newborn child?"
Karn agreed with Ankka's point of view, but he was still puzzled by Ankka's hearing of the dragon's words, but in the end, he still believed that Ankka had the magical talent to communicate with other creatures, after all, they all had that kind of power, and it shouldn't be difficult to just communicate with other creatures.
"Of course you can raise it, the choice is yours, and we should go back too, after all, the threat is gone."
After all, Karn needed Anka's power now, so whatever the reason, if the other party wanted to, then Karn would agree.
Karn thought to himself, "If the Wyvern causes damage in the city, with the character that Anka is showing now, he will definitely atone for his sins, so that he can control him better, and it's great that when the Wyvern grows up, he will secretly drug it." ”
The two then returned to the bottom of the mountain, and when they saw the little dragon that Ankka was holding and the two who were not harmed, they all looked at Ankh with admiration.
After returning to the settlement, everyone began to spontaneously promote Anka's power, and began to call Ankka "Ice Fang Peak Hunter" and "Dragon Knight".
Ankka and the others returned to the fort with the crowd cheering them off, and Ankka returned to his room after asking for some dry straw to make a nest.
"What, the wyvern was cut off and the cubs were sent out?" The castle lord shouted in some surprise at this.
"It doesn't matter, this must be what Ankka wants, he must want to enhance the worship of those he helps by freeing the slaves and taking down the young dragons, and with Anka's current knowledge, he will definitely be responsible for the Wyvern, if the Wyvern causes damage, we can also better pressure him to further control him, which is nothing to lose to everyone."
"What about the gifts?"
"Just go to the warehouse and take one, of course send it out in your name."
In the Sanctuary of Santa Seca, after placing the Wyvern, Ranga once again knelt before the throne to accept a new mission.
"Listen, the third prince's friend who is the castle lord is an important person who controls the border quartermasters, if you can win him over, then winning over the third prince Karn should also be of great help."
Ranga remembered the terrifying Anka and said, "My lord, can I let the second team go this time?" My injuries are not healed yet. ”
After a sigh came from above, it said, "All right! Second team, you have to be careful this time, remember that you must not fail this time, you know? ”
Then there was a different voice from above after a moment of silence: "Wait, if you can't win over and use brain-eating worms to forcibly control it, remember to use less of it, and if you don't do it, just loot all the valuables in the border warehouse and return." ”
Later, during the break, the second team walked up to Langa and provoked: "Coward, see how I capture Karn alive and kill the man named Anka." ”
Then Langa smiled and said, "Then I wish you success!" Hee-hee! ”
Later, after the second team left, Ranga seemed to be able to relax on the bed without facing Anka for the time being, and muttered: "It's really troublesome, it's better to let someone else do dangerous work or something." ”
