"I don't think it's possible! How could the Dragon Whisker Gong ...... Something unexpected ......" Pelos slammed the table with his hand.

By all accounts, this is impossible and should not be.

It's not so much anger as disbelief.

His hands were shaking, making the water on the table make a splash and stagger.

"Are you sure the information is reliable?" Marlena asked the panting man, who was shriveling his water.

"Yes......" The man was sweating and gasping for fright, but now he was standing, gently pressing his chest to help him breathe.

"It's a secret report from the front...... Captain Skarna's action may be delayed......" The man looked at Marlena and said in a very affirmative tone, he didn't see much sadness, only the discomfort caused by running for too long: "Captain Kaft is hurrying to Wenti County."

"Really! Too bad! Marlena sat down a little sadly, her brown hair was messy, and she scratched her head inadvertently, which gave her a bit of a headache.

Scana sat in his seat and listened to all this, as always, without saying a word. He looked at Pelos and put his hand on his nose, it was much worse than he thought.

"What about the murderer? Assassination? Still ......" Tang Zilong looked at the man, straightened his legs, and his tone was also light and scary, although he didn't say any other way to die, but this matter may not have made him raise enough energy, because it sounded like a fake.

Everybody knows.

Dragon Whisker Gong Ao Chen - is an ancient dragon.

Ancient dragon - horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, ears like a cow. It has eighty-one scales on its back, with nine or nine yang numbers. Its sound is like a copper plate. There is a beard next to the mouth, a pearl under the chin, and an inverted scale under the throat. There is Boshan on the head, also known as the ruler wood, and the dragon cannot ascend to heaven without the ruler wood. It can turn into water and fire.

Legend has it that this group knows the mysteries between heaven and earth, absorbs the purest essence between heaven and earth, and unceremoniously says that the ancient dragon body is a treasure.

Strong, is inevitable.

Although he is old, he is still able to be a powerful ally of the empire. Maintain a delicate balance between races that support each other and antagonize each other.

As the last ancient dragon that did not leave the human race and lived far away, the Dragonbeard not only stood on the side of the weaker principality, but also had the reputation of being the only remaining ambassador of peace in the spirit of the Old Testament.

In the principality, this is known to everyone, to everyone. His death has not yet been announced, but those who hear it now will mourn it in silence, and the joy of the moment will be disillusioned by it.

The delicate balance between the empire and the principality has been around for a long time, and although the greatest credit cannot be imposed on the Dragon Whisker Prince, the Dragon Whisker Prince's stand in the middle represents the position of the Ancient Dragon Clan, which is an important peace weight.

Something like peace,

It's good to keep a delicate balance of the scales, if one side of the balance is tilted, everything that happens next does not need to be thought about logically, and even the more things that are remedied, the more things will make things worse, as if the weight can no longer find the right one, you can only increase and decrease, and you will never be able to achieve another balance.

If you want to balance again, you can only destroy the scales, redefine the two sides of the scale, or even destroy them.

The most terrible thing is to be used by people with ulterior motives...... Not to mention that the world is not chaotic, even if it is hyped, it is enough for peace-loving people to run around and tell each other, and they will be heartbroken.

"Not an assassination...... We only found his body...... Without the head of the dragon beard man...... "The man was much better, and finally stopped gasping loudly.

"If the dragon beard dies...... Whether it is an ancient dragon or a giant dragon, when they die, their complete corpses will turn into mountains rich in the aura of heaven and earth, and it is obvious that the person who killed them knew this and took his head away......"

Pelos was still angry, and looked at the messenger very unwillingly: "Geralt, can you tell me more about the specific details?"

"Okay...... Professor Pylos. Geralt took a deep breath, and was fine now.

"Dragonbeard Gong is resting in the camp, you know, Professor Pelos, Wenti County is now rampant with low-level demonic beasts, and many secondary demons are in urgent need of purification inside, and His Excellency Dragonbeard is very tired...... So we didn't have any intention of daring to disturb Long Xugong's rest. But Long Xu Gong didn't seem to have such a meaning, and he proposed that he wanted to go out for a walk by himself...... We don't all agree...... We didn't dare to think that such a thing would happen...... But the most basic protective measures still have to be done, but His Excellency Long Xu insisted on going alone, and told us not to follow at will, he wanted a quiet environment. ”

"And then? Did you really not follow him? Tang Zilong didn't seem to care about what Long Xu Gong said, it was obvious that he thought that no matter what, such an important person as Long Xu Gong, although he himself said that he wanted to be quiet and didn't want people to disturb him, but it was obvious that he shouldn't listen to him, it was not a matter of respect or disrespect, but a matter of importance or not, and he felt that he needed to recognize it.

However, even if I think about it this way, I still feel a little hindsight, no matter what, the established facts can no longer be changed, and when Tang Zilong asked this sentence, it seemed that it didn't matter how he answered......

"Yes...... You know...... Dr. Tang Zilong, there is no way for us to go against the wishes of Long Xugong...... However, if we had known that something like this would happen, we would never have let Long Sugong follow him alone. Geralt was a little embarrassed, but he continued: "We shouldn't have done that...... When we found the Dragon's Whiskers, it was already an hour later...... When we wanted to ask the captain of the first line of defense, there were any suspicious people entering and leaving the line of defense that did not report...... They said that the team leader had been killed by an unknown powerful woman, and that several of them had sent out distress signals, but we didn't receive them at all, probably by someone intercepting them...... Now that Wenti County is in high lockdown, any suspicious person needs to be reported, even detained to the Eagles for no reason. ”

Pylos turned, then sat down with a thud.

Hold your forehead.

Pain......

It hurts......

This kind of severe headache is terrible compared to that kind of severe physical pain, the future is unpredictable, and the balance between the empire and the principality is not really determined by one person, but the premise is that this must be unannounced and no one knows, including himself and here, and even the entire principality for the first time.

Geralt told himself that all the soldiers in charge of the border were now quietly replaced by the Flying Eagles, which was done in secret, and that the guards of Wenti County, that is, Geralt and the rest of the squad, needed to return home and conduct absolute surveillance. Geralt, as the messenger, immediately went to the Royal Academy of Flando, telling Skarna that his operation had been canceled.

"My mind is blank now, I don't know why this happened, His Excellency the Duke of Long Xu did his best for the principality, no one thought that such a thing would happen and end up like this...... There is no such thing as a good ending...... Is! Pylos hammered the table again.

After all, censorship is not something that Pelos can control, but as long as he hears the news, Pelos will be angry.

It's not as simple as not dying well...... Behind this incident, the assassin definitely knew the importance of the Dragon Whisker Duke to the principality, and his death most likely meant that the ancient dragon clan was once again in an absolutely neutral situation, not the so-called neutrality with a peaceful bias, but the absolute impartiality no matter which side of the principality and the empire provoked disputes, or a neutral party that did not care, which can be regarded as the innate instinct of those races born with great power......

Who would be happy?

Hardly anyone in the principality would be happy to hear this terrible news...... But there will definitely be someone who will be happy...... And I wish the news of Long Xugong's death would be released as soon as possible.

The world is peaceful, it is really a thing that only exists in dreams.

There is nothing unbreakable in this world, and if there is, it is only the sinister in the human heart.

"My mind is blank right now...... "Marlena sat down a little dejected.

Tang Zilong sighed: "Things have happened...... There is no way to change it...... Want to open a little...... At least for now, many people are still trying to minimize the negative impact of this incident......"

"Yes...... "What else did Marlena want to say...... But after all, I couldn't say it, so I could only touch my hand, which was a little cold.

"It's impossible! Tang Zilong! Pelos suddenly looked at Tang Zilong very seriously, and his tone was very impulsive, as if he was arguing, of course, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he had not recovered yet.

Perhaps, in the head of this same genius...... Thinking about something terrible, or having no way to organize him not to think about it.

"This is not a thing to get by, this is definitely not a thing that can be hidden, and this is definitely not a thing that can be said to be negative like other things! It's death! Death of the Dragon's Whisker! This is worse than the death of any of us! ”

"Calm down...... Pylos ...... "Marlena was urging from the side.

Everyone here is unhappy, and he's not the only one who's unhappy.

"I know! I know I'm going to be calm! But I simply can't do it! "There was something terrible about Pelos, the kind of terrible that moved real anger, the kind of terrible that a man's anger like.

"You can't be resurrected from death...... Pelos ...... "Tang Zilong also meant to persuade, but obviously he didn't treat Pelos so much.

Geralt drank silently, not daring to interject at all.

"It's a sign of incompetence that you're doing now...... It's not good for everyone...... And the whole thing must be more complicated than you think...... We still have no way to confirm what happened to His Excellency Long Xugong" Tang Zilong tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "Besides...... There's a lot more to figure out before...... Everything should go on as usual...... Don't let those who have a heart take advantage of the situation...... You can't mess with yourself...... Otherwise, it's too child's play, or even stupid. ”

"Yes...... Pylos ...... You should calm down...... Whatever you have in mind...... You all need to be calm...... That's right...... That's the only way you can get involved......" Skarna spoke, but only to convince him not to be too chaotic.

"I know, I know, I know......" Pylos also eased slightly, but his face was tense all the time, and it was obvious that he knew he should be calm as he said.

"But the Dragonbeard is important to the Duchy! We can't live without him! We simply can't live without His Excellency the Dragon Beard! It's a definite thing! The future could be turned upside down! Flando! Right! Flando! Pelos seemed to have a flash of inspiration, for the change was so rapid that the rest of the room suddenly didn't know what he was talking about.

"Let's go find Flando! She must know about it! We have to get in touch with her and discuss the next steps, otherwise everything could be over...... I can't imagine what will happen in the next few weeks...... It's very important for us to get through these weeks safely! ”

Pylos grabbed his clothes and was about to run outside, his brain circuits, coupled with his quick reflexes, caught everyone off guard.

"Hurry, hurry! Keep up with me! I need your help! Pelos beckoned them to hurry up, and his anxious look made everyone get up suddenly, although it was not clear, but Skarna was the first to get up, and followed Pelos, and they rushed straight out the door, and Malena grabbed her staff and ran out with them.

Geralt and Tang Zilong looked at each other for a second, and Tang Zilong sighed.

"Genius mind...... It's different! ”

Tang Zilong quickly got up, took the key on the table and put it in his pocket, and by the way, he quickly grabbed the mechanical dog into the bag.

"Geralt! You drink tea here, we'll come when we go! If someone comes to ask, you say we went for supper, why didn't we bring you, because you just came! Remember! Tang Zilong motioned to Geralt, shook his white coat, and ran out.

Geralt didn't understand the situation, just nodded.

With a pair of small eyes open, he observed the clean, yet somewhat messy laboratory...... The table is clean, but messy.

"Okay...... That's nice...... When will I be able to go on an adventure with you......" Geralt was a little sad...... Then he took a sip of tea.

"Or is it right for me to drink tea...... Supper...... Hmmm......"

Outside the laboratory, four people were running like a long dragon.

"What are you doing with Flando?" Skarna stepped on the railing of the circular staircase, almost parallel to Pelos, who had no external force.

"Prophecy! I need to confirm her prophecy! But first, I need to find something! That stuff can organize war! Pelos shouted loudly, gasping for a little as he was running up the stairs and walking in a hurry.

"War?!" Tang Zilong was shocked.

"War ......" Marlena paused.

"War!" Pelos roared loudly.

"Yours is yours! Skarna! Tang Zilong yelled excitedly, turned over and went up the circular staircase, following them.

"Really...... Oops......" Marlena gritted her teeth and followed.

Maybe...... No one can change the past......

But the future must change all the time......
