The dragon's representatives didn't get on board before setting sail, but they had wings and couldn't think of the moving island. Since leaving Ximu Town, the Unsinkable Stone Boat has not returned below the water, but has honestly floated on the surface of the sea. It doesn't rely on the wind, it doesn't use any paddling animals, but it keeps moving towards its destination on its own. Siegel was very curious about this matter, and after studying for a long time, he finally discovered the secret of the unsinkable stone boat.

Beneath the vast island, the dwarves used a large number of runestones, using their power to manipulate water or earth elements to form currents that propel the unsinkable stone boats forward. This method can continue to provide power even when you dive underwater. In order to be able to maintain the power of these rune stones and reduce their wear and tear, the dwarves also use the method of rune arrays to transfer consumption. The consumables they use are opal and amethyst, so the island has the strength to move forward by "eating" these two things.

Siegel got this information from observing runes, but it was still not enough to know the principles of its control core. How to coordinate the work of tens of thousands of independent runestones to push the island in the designated direction, and how to manipulate the island to turn, dive and float, Siegel wanted to know. Unfortunately, the dwarves did not allow him to enter the core of the unsinkable stone boat, which was guarded by guards and constantly patrolled by dwarven priests.

"If you really want to go, I can teach you a couple of shape-shifting techniques. William chewed on the candy bar and rested his feet comfortably on the table, reclining in the back of his chair. "It's not the ability to transform into a mouse or a kitten, it's smaller, it's less easy to spot. Let's say a cockroach or a mosquito. ”

"It's the kind of transfiguration that will kill you if you step on it?" Siegel shook his head: "I might as well go through the film world." That would be safer. ”

"There's a lot of rune protection ......here," William said, only halfway there. Just see the smile on Siegel's face. Understood: "Okay, I know you're kidding." ”

The only place on board where movement is completely unrestricted is on the island, on the "deck" platform around two stone castles. It's hard for Siegel to imagine that this is a boat, because he can barely feel the ebb and flow of the waves from under his feet. If you don't look at the surrounding scenery, you think that this is a fixed island, and the noise around you is just the sound of the tides. The unsinkable ship sailed quickly to the middle of the ocean, and Siegel determined their position through the stars in the sky.

During the day, Siegel sometimes flies away from the island. Catch nearby sea fish and make yourself some simple barbecues. The dwarven food is too simple, and there is nothing new except for the various barbecues, only the various beers and ales are not bad. In addition to humans, elves are also plagued. The dwarves prepared a lot of fruit for the elves, but they were not good at preserving them, and these reserves soon became inedible. So in the end, the elves had to solve the problem of eating by themselves in the room.

On this day, Siegel caught a tuna weighing more than 50 pounds and was processing it on the "deck". The most delicate and tender parts can be eaten raw, but most of them are still processed by baking. The Dragon's Tooth Dagger is particularly useful at this time. After all, teeth are the greatest weapons designed specifically for cutting food.

The appearance of two small dots at sea level caught Siegel's attention. Soon the two dots had a color, one golden and one green. After a while, they can be seen to have huge wings and long tails. Two dragons rode the wind from the direction of the New World. Quickly approaching the unsinkable stone boat.

The dwarf on the deck picked up the barrel mirror and looked at it for a moment, then gave the order to be on guard. The two stone fortresses suddenly turned into hedgehogs, and the arrows of the super-heavy ballista poked out of the sliding slots, pointing at the sky. Several dwarven clerics and runemasters with staves in their hands reached the top of the castle and began to whisper the song of the rocks.

"Two archmages, we are not sure if they are friends or foes, so for the sake of safety, please take refuge under the island. A dwarven captain walked over and said politely.

"No, we might be able to help. William waved his hand, but his real purpose was to preserve the grilled tuna on the deck, and he didn't even take his eyes off the grill when he spoke to the dwarf. "If the dragon's attack doesn't sink the stone boat, you'll be glad there are two archmages on deck. Isn't it, Seagal?"

"I'm okay with that. Siegel nodded: "One or two dragons don't pose much of a threat to us, you guys are busy with yours, we won't bother." With that, he ordered the invisible servant to walk to the edge of the island with the baking table.

After a while, the dwarf king "Ice Fist" Stone also came to the deck. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the two archmages who were still barbecuing on the side, but he didn't say anything in the end. He took the telescope from the dwarf next to him, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then whispered something to the people around him. The dwarf sprang into action, opening the covers near the bow and stern of the ship, and shaking out four large trebuchets with their handles. Siegel glanced at the trebuchet, and there was no stone in the trebuchet, but some kind of special trap.

William suddenly closed his eyes and began to chant the incantation, his voice low and soothing, using gestures that Siegel had never seen before. This spell was recited for more than a minute, and judging by the elemental fluctuations, it was some kind of detection spell, and it spread a considerable distance. After the spell was cast, William opened his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, those dragons have no malice." ”

"What kind of spell are you using?" Siegel asked, "I only know that it is some kind of detection spell, but in addition to detecting good, evil, necromancy, etc., there is also the intention of detecting dragons?" He glanced at the location of the dragon and said in surprise, "There are dozens of kilometers left, how did you detect it?"

"This is a kind of dragon binding spell, which can only be used against dragons, and it can be regarded as a side-rubbing ball in the forbidden spell. William smiled mysteriously: "Dragons move very fast and threaten, and they are highly resistant to magic, so it is very necessary to detect the location of dragons and judge their status. I can teach you this spell by which you can judge the mood of the dragon, whether it is calm, tired, hungry or angry, etc. Unless you're casting a spell on a dragon, they won't be able to detect this harmless spell. ”

"Do you have the full Dragon Binding Spell?" William shook his head. Siegel was quite helpless: "Is there only the Mage Association again?"

"The only definite source. "William doesn't care if it's hot or not. Pick up a piece of half-cooked fish and start swallowing. I swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls. "However, the Dragon Binding Spell is very important, and not all archmages can refer to it. I learned this spell from Alexander. Using the Dragonbinding Charm comes with risking war with the Dragons, and only a handful of mages in the Mage Guild can learn it, and they pay the price of never being able to leave the Guild's Tower of Babel. ”

Siegel understood. These people are the last line of defense to prevent the dragons from going to war with the Mage Guild again. It's no wonder that since the Dragon War, dragons have rarely attacked human towns, let alone appear in areas controlled by the Mage Guild, it turns out that these people have always maintained a deterrent. Most of the dragons have reached the far west of the New World, and the rest have been lying in their nests all year round. Just come out to hunt when you are hungry. Wild animals and sometimes domestic animals serve as a meal for these dragons. However, for thousands of years, there has been no news of a dragon burning down a castle and looting all its contents.

This is arguably the best peace deal that has been executed, and both dragons and human mages are careful to maintain balance. Do you believe that if one day the power of one side suddenly increases, will this balance be upset, or will the people at that time be able to deal with the new situation more rationally and peacefully, not knowing whether their choice will be peace or war?

Siegel couldn't tell, he thought about it, only to find that he didn't know what to choose.

The Wyvern got closer and closer, and then stopped about four miles away from the unsinkable stone boat. Start circling. Soon the golden dragon announced his name and vouched for the green dragon beside him. "I'm a representative of the Dragons at the Dwarf King's Conference. I didn't come to attack you. Put your weapons away, there's no need to be tense!"

The Dwarven King waved his hand, and some of his guard was lifted, and the dwarf gave way to the space on the deck. The two dragons rushed down with a roar and turned into human form in midair. Siegel didn't know the golden dragon, but he did know the green dragon. Although the Imwalker is no longer a dry, emaciated, toothless madman, his eyes have never changed. Whether it is on the grasslands of the north, on the battlefield with the red dragon or under the rostrum of the martial arts competition. It was a pair of deep, sad eyes.

The Dwarven King greeted him and held out his hand to the golden dragon. "Welcome to the Unsinkable Stone Boat, representative of the Dragon. Why are you two here?"

"There was only one dragon, not two. The golden dragon grabbed the dwarf's hand and shook it lightly twice, and then quickly pulled it back. "This friend of mine is here to find someone, send a message and leave. Isn't Seagal Squid Mage from Heim here?"

The Shapeshifter shook his head and walked between the golden dragon and the dwarf, "Go ahead, I've found my target." ”

"On the unsinkable stone boat, all forms of combat are forbidden, this is the place of the dwarves, the rules of the dwarves!" Ice Fist said loudly, and the dwarven soldier re-raised his weapons.

The dragon ignored the dwarf's voice, and the shapeshifter didn't pause. The golden dragon poked the dwarven king on the shoulder and said, "Where is my room? It must be spacious enough for me to stretch out." If not, I'll dig one myself from your floating islands. ”

Siegel turned, facing the shapeshifter, ready to cast a spell in his hands. However, the shapeshifter did not appear to have malicious intent, and voluntarily spread his hands towards Siegel. "Oh, old friend, don't stop, I'm just hungry. Some things are better to talk while eating. What are you doing here, grilled tuna?"

"It tastes good," William said to his teeth with a fishbone, but his hand looked like he was holding a wand. "And it's the freshest kind, and I'm sure you'll love it. ”

"William, William, despite your ability to shapeshift, you are not really a dragon yet. The shapeshifter said, "I'm going to talk to Siegel here, are you sure you want to listen?"

A faint dragon power emanated, completely concentrated on William alone. William, who was familiar with dragon transformation, frowned, sniffing out a lot of information from it. There is only one way of communication between dragons, and that is to use power. William thought for a moment, then nodded reluctantly and picked up two slices of fish from the oven.

"Okay, you can whisper, I'll go and eat. He turned to look at Siegel and said, "He's not as good as you, I can give you a packing ticket." ”

Siegel smiled and patted William on the shoulder: "We won't fight, at least not on this unsinkable stone boat." (To be continued.) )
