Eastern Continent, an unknown seaside fishing village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infor?anw?e?nw?ww．`

In the middle of winter, a group of fishermen, tanned from their perennial voyages, returned from a small sailboat dedicated to offshore fishing, and docked at a simple seaside pier amid the neighing of a few seagulls.

They came ashore with their pitiful catches and groaned to each other about another sad winter.

They also rely on the sea for food, but their winters are sad compared to those nobles who are qualified and capitalized to drive ocean-going galleons to catch rare fish and even participate in the whale hunting business, or the bureaucrats who manage the salt drying and copper mining on the seabed.

In winter and spring, even most species of seagulls fly to warm seas to survive the winter, and the inshore catch is too small to sustain the livelihoods of fishermen's families.

Therefore, many men have to go to other places to collect conch and shells on shallow beaches, work as helpers in salt farms, work as coolies at the whale oil wharf in the town, and even go home to pickle dried fish and so on to support their families, while women stay at home with their children and work hard to support their families.

A man wearing a hat sits on a small broken chair by the pier, and while skillfully twisting the fishing nets in his hands with thick rope and linen, he greets passing fishermen affectionately.

"Thank you, and may you have a smooth day," a calm and simple female voice came from under the hat, which could be heard to be very old, but it was inexplicably reassuring: "Yes, I have to mend these fishing nets before spring, Andre, they are waiting to be used." ”

She skillfully pulls the fishermen with the parents:

"Yes, we can go to the market and sell it...... Oh, fix the nets here? Well, you know I like to bask in the sun. ”

When the fishermen had left, the woman with the hat lowered her head again, and pulled up some of the draped sackcloth sleeves to reveal her brown skin, which she did not know whether it was in the sun or by nature, and mended the nets between her knees in the sun.

Until the woman in the hat looked up at the seashore with a sense of awareness.

A small wave hits and shatters into white spray on the hardwood dock.

But she only glanced up at the sea level, then lowered her head and continued to mend the nets in her hand.

However, her earthy voice once again came from under the hat and resounded in the empty dock.

"I don't remember inviting you to come. ”

If someone else was present, they probably thought that the woman in the hat was talking to herself.

But what happened next shattered that assumption.

In the empty void, a strange dry voice came: "To be exact, I didn't come, but my voice came." ”

"You can send me a crow. ”

The woman in the hat didn't lift her head, but focused on tightening a network cable.

"The White Letter Crow domesticated by the Trade Federation has a very good call," her tone was steady and indifferent, without ups and downs, but with a quiet force: "Loud and crisp, it's not this male duck voice that lacks too much water." ”

She skillfully changed the net in her hand and continued to mend it.

"Gentle sarcasm," came the dry voice again, as if accustomed to the sight: "You're still the same." ”

"Let's get straight to the point," said the woman in the hat unconcernedly, "I'll be going to dry the net in a moment." ”

Her surroundings were quiet for a moment.

For a time, there were only waves and the sound of seagulls on the pier.

Until the dry voice sounded hollow again: "The guy who knocked on the door just now, you also sensed it...... A new magician is born. ”

The woman in the hat snorted softly and tried a braided fishing net.

The voice in the void was ethereal: "We need to go to him"

"No," said the woman in the hat, who was not interested, and sealed him bluntly, "I don't know, and I don't care." ”

"A newcomer!"

The dry voice did not have the slightest ripple or undulation, and it sounded particularly boring and boring: "You know what this means......"

"The Twin Emperors won't let him or her go," the dry voice seemed to say something he didn't care about, "An unknown magician is too much of a threat to them, and he hasn't gone through the end battle, the Twin Emperors can completely take him under their command and become their own." ”

"Let's go find L or Giza," the woman with the hat put down her net, reached out and picked up another net, and began to pull the line, "even Ashida and Solovsky, and even Sula, they will be interested." ”

"That's what I'm going to say," the voice in the void sounded hollowly, "a newborn mage, the companions he's going to face, either the Twin Emperors or these people, would you like to see that happen?"

The woman ignored him, just staring at the cable in her hand.

The voice in the void continued:

"Or the men of Giza B, who will only pull him into their ridiculous mad dog circus and repeat the tragedy of more than six hundred years ago. ”

"Moderates are not a good thing either, and from what I know of Ashida and Solovsky, they have been dormant since the Second Civil War, and it is not because of peace-loving ......"

The woman raised her head and glanced into the void, her voice coldening for the first time, "So you're coming to me?"

Silent.

"You're different, Freylan. ”

"Everyone says you're one of the gentlemen," the uninvited guest in the void said lightly after a moment, "but I know you're different. ”

The woman in the hat named Frylan did not speak.

"Twelve years ago, you were the catalyst for that unprecedented collaboration between radicals and moderates. ”

The voice of the uninvited guest echoed on the docks: "You see something higher, farther away, more meaningful." ”

"Rather than just rebelling against the Emperors, or reproducing the so-called Magical Glory, you know, that's not the purpose of our existence. ”

"We can't cut our past, and the magician is not a higher being," the man in the void said blandly.

"Compared to the anger and reluctance of others, you are willing to weave nets quietly in this unknown fishing village. ”

"I think you should be able to understand me. ”

However, the woman in the hat only shook her head slowly: "Then you should also go to Jilai, he is the one who is with you, at least, you have fought side by side." ”

The empty voice paused again.

"Don't mess me up with that pervert," the visitor in the void said with a faint emotion for the first time, "It's not your friends who are fighting alongside you. ”

The woman with the hat curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"What's the use of all that?"

She lowered her hat to block the rising sun: "We all know that becoming a magician, from 'matter' to 'essence', is a complicated process. ”

The voice in the void was silent.

The woman in the hat continued in her steady voice, "His newcomer must have a guide, I don't know how long it took to find such a person in the more than six hundred years when magic was extinct, to prepare all the conditions for him, to raise all the resources, and finally to help him become a magician, just like Macintosh is to you." ”

The woman sighed, "Whatever faction it is, I'm afraid he already has a part." ”

She switched to a hand-held net and shook her other, looking a little tired.

But the woman's words were quickly refuted.

"Nope. ”

"When he knocked on the door, I met him. ”

The dry voice seemed to be a little unstable: "At that time, he was flustered and panicked, and it seemed that he was completely unprepared for the knock, and he did not anticipate the threat to the two emperors, which guide would make such a mistake?"

The woman paused slightly, and she slowly raised her head: "The Magic Empress......"

"He can't be a student of the Two Emperors, and you also saw them knock on the door in an instant, and fight desperately in their own ways," the stranger in the void seemed to know what the woman was going to ask, and only listened to him continue: "How many years have they not been so out of shape and embarrassed since B and Errol were silent in the Triumphant Capital?"

The woman in the hat was silent for a long time.

"I see," she said faintly after a few minutes, "Are you wondering that the newcomer may not have a guide at all?"

"After all, there are still some remnants of the three magic towers that can help him become a magician, right?"

In response to her speculation, the visitor in the void responded in the affirmative:

"Of course. ”

"Until the upper echelons of the Three Towers, before the Empire and the Church intervened......"

"At that time, the 'Genius Gemini' gave a full thirty-six speeches in the constellation of ten thousand laws, and I don't know how many times the "Introduction to Magical Energy" as a collection of speeches has been reprinted, not counting the manuscripts and notes that cannot be counted. ”

"Even a catastrophe like the Pure World Plan can't destroy them all. ”

"That newcomer, he's probably a lone wolf, just like Jilai. ”

"I believe that the radicals, the moderates, the bloodthorns, the black orchids, and even the Jilai, are now ready to move, especially people like L, who will find him even if the whole world is overturned. ”

"Once they exhibit abnormalities, soon, the sunset, the sunset, the bright moon, the dark night, and even the nations of the world and the Seven Lords of Hell will find out that something is wrong. ”

"If they never find him, or if one of them finds him, that's fine......"

"But if two or more parties find him at the same time......"

The woman with the hat looked at the line between the sea and the sky, and gently grasped the fishing net in her hand.

"I need your help, Flelan, I need you to lock his place," the Void Guest said earnestly, "if you really are what I think and don't want to see the world get worse." ”

The sound of waves and gulls alternates.

The woman with the hat was silent for a long time.

Finally, the woman let out a long sigh and said lightly, "I can't find him." ”

"What do you mean?" said in a dry voice suspiciously, "With your abilities, anyone who knocks on the door will be locked the moment, won't they." ”

The woman nodded slowly: "Yes, I felt it when he knocked on the door, he was sleeping. ”

The voice from the void was slightly excited:

"This is good news, there are three weapons in the night, but they are all concentrated in the Qilin Holy Capital...... The bad news is that it's also close to Bloodthorn......"

But at this moment, the woman said the second place name:

"And the Sea of Ends. ”

The dry voice seemed to be a little unresponsive, and he paused for a moment and asked:

"What?"

"When he knocks, he also ends the sea. The woman explained calmly.

"How is that possible?" the visitors in the void were a little incredulous: "From the night to the end of the sea ......"

However, the woman in the hat did not pay attention to him, but lowered her head and said to herself:

"The Great Desert. ”

"The twilight of the forest. ”

Against the background of the sea and the sky, she continued to speak while repairing fishing nets on the dock, and place names popped out of her mouth one by one: "There are also Quegul Glacier, Crow Cry City, Xingchen Zedi, Beili Grassland, Prancing Horse Plain, Heroic Soul Castle, Devil's Sea, Longxiao City, ......"

The woman's hand trembled slightly, and she inadvertently broke a knot.

There was a steady seriousness in her words:

"There's more to me than that!"

The moment he knocked on the door, it was as if he was standing in every corner of the world, and then he entered his true state. ”

"So, I can't find him. ”

She stretched out her hand and helped her hat: "I'm afraid the same is true of the two emperors." ”

Again, there was no sound in the void.

The woman looked back at the fishing net in her hand: "We can't locate him. ”

"But, after all, he is a magician who has already been formed. ”

"He may not have a guide, and he may not know his own powers," the woman said lightly, "from strange to legendary, pay attention to unusual news from all over the world, and his lack of experience will be exposed one day." ”

"So," came a dry voice, "are we going to rely on that to find him?"

The woman with the hat did not speak.

A slightly larger wave came, splashing on her burlap dress.

"Well, one last question. ”

The voice in the void seemed a little depressed, and he only heard him ask tentatively, "Taurus, how is he reacting to this news?"

The woman with the hat had a slight pause in her hand.

A seagull flies over a wave, and in vain it can only continue to fly back to its nest.

"How do I know. ”

The woman said slowly.

"But he is your guide, after all," the Void Visitor continued, "just as the Macintosh is my guide. ”

"Then you should know as well as I do, Sagal," said the woman in the hat slowly, with a hint of contempt in her words:

"...... from the beginning of the Second Civil War"

"When did he ever take care of our business?"

What should a dragon look like?

Tails tilted his head blankly, looking at the huge figure tens of hundreds of meters high in the cyan firelight.

The dark red scales that reflected the light of the fire covered it in layers, and a pair of broad dragon wings gracefully tucked behind the giant claws, making it look like a noble lady with a rich dress and cloak around her neck.

And its peculiar but smooth facial curves, coupled with the slender and straight neck that the other party does not need to deliberately do, and the black double horns that extend regularly backwards on the head, add an admirable beauty to the mystery of this dragon.

If you ignore the hideous and terrifying spikes on its body.

At that moment, Tails suddenly realized: Are those little black monsters in Giza modeled after the shape of a giant dragon?

The crimson dragon's gaze was fixed on the hydra howling in pain on the ground, but its body remained motionless, as if it didn't care.

Kilica's last tentacles, burning with green flames, trembled and stretched out towards it.

The crimson dragon twisted its neck, its eyes revealing an emotion that Tails could recognize: disdain.

Eventually, Kilica's tentacles burned out halfway through, and fell feebly to ashes.

As the flesh and blood were burned out, the green flame no longer continued to burn, as if it had its own consciousness, but slowly extinguished.

Tails held his breath and looked at everything in front of him with a shudder.

Oh, my God.

Dragon.

Yes, it exists.

"Boom la la ......"

The next moment, without warning, the dragon turned around and groaned with an overwhelming moan from a large area of ruins in the shield area.

Tails cowered back in fright.

The dragon landed on the ground with its claws, turning its body and neck, its long, curvaceous tail flicking its balance.

"Boom ......"

The roar of earth and rocks was a testament to the weight of this giant being.

Then, the crimson dragon bowed its head slightly and turned to the ground.

Turning to two insignificant figures.

There's a thrill in Tails!

No way?

How does it ......

The dragon looked at the two children.

Two children described as messy and embarrassed.

Tails shivered uncontrollably, leaning his neck desperately and looking into the other's eyes.

The bright yellow and amber eyes remained motionless, as if by magic, locking him in his vision.

The little slippery head also trembled, clutching his arm.

Before arriving in the Northlands, Tails envisioned all possible scenarios: kings, grand dukes, nobles, soldiers, commoners...... Even magicians and bloods, and even so-called elves like Edda, have thought about how to react accordingly in various situations.

When he only thought about the situation in front of him.

A dragon?

Are you kidding!

Tails stared at the dragon with a look that seemed to have a deep meaning, and his scalp tingled.

What do you mean by that?

I'm going to give you some reaction.

What's the matter if you just look at it and don't speak?

At this moment, the words of the little slippery head with a trilling voice came faintly:

"Red Wing...... Flame ......"

The little slippery head trembled violently, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and he said tremblingly:

"That's ......"

"Her Majesty Chrysis!"

Tails shuddered!

His mouth opened to the maximum and he turned his head in disbelief.

"Heavenly ......" Tails stammered, "Queen of the Sky?"

The little slippery head trembled like a sieve, but with inexplicable excitement, he pulled him and said affirmatively: "Yes...... ...... to the

"Exeter's ......"

"Your Majesty the First Queen!"

Tails only felt a little dizzy.

He took several deep breaths before turning his head again and leaning up to the top.

He looked at the pair of bright yellow eyes, and the pure black pupils inside gave people a huge sense of oppression.

Look at the legendary dragon that has been missing for more than six hundred years.

Tails' gaze couldn't help but shift slightly, looking at the Sky Cliff in the distance, looking at the statue of Necaru above.

At that moment, Tails looked at the dragon's massive body, and then at the cliff in the sky.

He felt as if he knew why the Queen of the Sky had left Exeter and never returned:

If the Sky Cliff is really the palace of the Queen of the Sky......

Tails roared in his heart:

With her size, she can't live at all!

These unscrupulous descendants of Necaru are deliberate, right?

At that moment, the dragon let out a rough breath from its nose.

"Boom!"

A huge air current swept across the tiny ground, smashing Tails and the little slippery head to the ground!

Tails managed to stabilize his figure.

The dragon's head was slightly deflected, but its eyes were staring at them motionlessly.

At that moment, her eyes seemed a little playful and impatient.

Tails couldn't help but be shocked.

He thought of something and stabbed the little slippery head behind him.

"Hey," Tails whispered in a wistful voice as he looked at the dragon's seemingly unfriendly gaze, "I remember if you said ......"

"There is a special set of etiquette for meeting the Queen of the Sky?"

Xiao Slippery was stunned for a moment, and then gasped.

"Yes, I just forgot," the little girl said timidly, "The dragon hates rudeness and disrespect!"

Tails knew this, and he tugged at the sleeve of his little slippery head.

"How?" he asked, gritting his teeth, "I think, now is the time!"

Xiao Slippery came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke.

So, under the watchful eye of the dragon, the two children comically followed the teachings of the little slippery head and began to salute.

"First of all, I, we're going to get down on one knee......"

Little Slippery stammered, but as she talked more and more, her narration became more and more smooth.

They fell to their knees.

"Kneel on your right knee! Kneeling on your left knee is what was used when a newlywed husband and wife made vows during ancient Northland weddings!" said the little slippery head sternly.

The second prince hurriedly and obediently changed his legs, and his movements were a little clumsy and procrastinating.

"Then, like the ancient emperor's ** ceremony and the knight's canonization ceremony, the right hand is clenched into a fist against the chest," Xiao Slippery's words became more and more fluent, as if he had forgotten his fear of the dragon: "The left hand should fall naturally." ”

Tails simply didn't listen to Xiao Slippery's words, he watched the other party's movements, and hurriedly did the same.

Bow your head respectfully...... At least three seconds......"

The dragon remained motionless at them, only the breath of its nostrils stirred up a breeze to alert them of its presence.

"Then, one by one, we respectfully give our full names......"

The little slippery head trembled and said, "The Great Sky Queen, His Majesty Krorethis......"

"I am ......"

"I am ......"

Tails frowned: he noticed that the little slippery head was suddenly stuck.

Xiao Slippery seemed to be a little flustered, and she said incoherently, "I'm ...... That one...... That ......"

Tails's heart moved, he remembered a crucial matter, and quickly stabbed the girl with his elbow, and whispered, "Selma!"

Xiao Slippery Head was excited, and subconsciously said, "I'm Selma......"

The little slippery head trembled slightly, as if he was not used to the name.

No.

Tails said silently: she had thought of something.

Sure enough, when she said the next name, she even began to cry.

"Selma Alex ......" only to hear the little slippery voice begin to change pitch.

Tears began to fall from her drooping face.

"Alex ......"

She seemed to remember something, and she burst into tears.

The dragon's eyelids tightened slightly.

Her eyes staring at the little slippery head became a little sharp.

Tails gritted his teeth.

He reached out and gently took the wrist of his left hand.

The little slippery head trembled slightly.

She turned her head and glanced at Tails.

Tails nodded slightly, and returned a determined look of encouragement.

Little Slippery swallowed her throat, as if she had regained a little courage, she re-posed, and said in words that were still stammering and trembling, but finally no longer stuck:

"I'm Thelma Alex...... Suril ...... Walton ......"

"From ...... of Longxiao City"

"It's a pleasure...... Lucky enough to get ...... Honored to be presented to you. ”

The little slippery head finally finished speaking, she gasped for breath, cold sweat broke out on her head, as if she had just undergone a vigorous exercise,

Tails breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the second prince took a deep breath, bowed his head in a similar manner, and said calmly in the smoothest and most respectful tone he could think of:

"The Great Queen of the Sky, Her Majesty Chroresis. ”

"I'm Tyersseran, Gerana, Kassel, Bright Star. ”

"From Eternal Star City. ”

"It is a privilege to be honored to meet you. ”

After speaking, Tails also breathed a sigh of relief.

"And then?" he lowered his head and stabbed the girl next to him again.

This time, the little slippery head replied simply: "Wait." ”

So they waited quietly on their knees.

Don't dare to make a sound, don't dare to look up, don't dare to move.

I don't know how many minutes passed.

All I heard was the howl of the cold wind and the explosion of flames.

Finally, Tails couldn't hold it back.

He looked up slightly.

The little slippery head saw his movements, and his little face turned white with fright.

Tails glanced overhead.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, Tails is shocked!

The little slippery head looked at Tails' appearance, so he couldn't help but start looking up.

Then she was scared in place.

I saw a huge head with scales on top of their heads!

it!

Tails' breathing was incredibly fast.

The Sky Queen had already bowed her head.

The nearest scale on its nose, less than a foot away from them.

The dragon turned its head, revealing an eye on its right, amber eyes getting closer and closer.

As if to take a good look at them.

This action made Tails suck for a while!

Tails fell to his knees in a daze.

At that moment, he had almost forgotten everything about his surroundings, and all he had in his eyes was the dragon.

The little slippery head trembled slightly, and he didn't suck for a while.

The dragon's eyes reflected the figures and faces of the two.

It was two frightened and blue children, dumbfounded, motionless and motionless, and many people would probably find it funny if they only looked at these two reflections.

It's a pity that now they are the protagonists of these two reflections.

The two of them didn't dare to take a mouthful.

Just stared blankly at the dragon.

Let her look at them.

After a few moments, the dragon withdrew its head a little, and its oppressive eyes and pupils left their eyes.

Tails took another breath.

Then, something unexpected happened to Tails.

I only heard the little slippery head shake suddenly, let out an "ah" in horror, and shrank back!

The little slippery head looked around frantically.

Tails quickly turned his gaze and looked at the dragon.

Did she do anything?

Then the dragon remained motionless.

Little Slippery finally fell silent, and she stared blankly at the dragon.

Tails was puzzled.

The next moment, I only heard the frightened words of the little slippery head continue to come: "Ah...... Be...... No...... Yes...... Right...... Thank you...... Hmmm......"

Tails watched dumbfounded as Little Slipper muttered to himself.

This girl......

Crazy?

In the next second, the little slippery head shouted again:

"Ahh

I saw that she was in a hurry, and with a technique almost faster than swatting mosquitoes, she took off the pair of glasses from her face!

Then she shuddered, and held the tattered black-rimmed glasses in her hands with great respect, as if they were rare treasures.

The girl trembled like a sieve and almost cried: "I, I really don't know...... Didn't know if this was a ...... you used They threw it directly at me...... I was wrong...... I'm sorry...... I don't really know ......."

Tails looked at Little Slip Head in disbelief, then at the pair of glasses in her hand, and then at the Sky Queen.

They're ...... Dialogue?

How?

At this time, the Queen of the Sky suddenly moved!

I saw her stick her nose out to the little slippery head.

Tails was shocked!

What is she going to do?

The next moment, I saw the Queen of the Sky breathe a slight sigh from her nostrils!

"Whew!"

The huge air currents made the two of them unable to open their eyes, and they just put their heads in their arms.

After a few moments, the airflow stopped.

After making sure he was safe, Tails looked up in a state of apprehension.

He looked at the Queen of the Sky and saw that the dragon's hideous jaws were slightly bent.

Like Tails doesn't know why this thought came up, like she's smirking evilly?

A sacred dragon, the queen of Exeter's king, is actually in ...... Bad laugh?

Too unserious, right?

But he soon ran out of his mind.

[Bright Star?, your name is Bright Star?]

A majestic and shocking, heavy and deafening female voice sounded in his heart!

"Ahh

He looked around in horror.

Nothing.

It wasn't until he saw the little slippery head slapping his face vigorously that he reacted.

Tails sat on the ground and turned his head in disbelief to look at the dragon.

The Sky Queen was staring at herself.

Still motionless.

Apart from......

[Don't be afraid, dragons communicate with mortals, as it has always been. 】

Not again!

The kind of voice that seems to pop out of the ears, even from the bottom of the heart!

Yes, it's in the heart!

Tails stared blankly at the dragon.

[You are a descendant of Tormund?]

Tails still looked around in disbelief.

But he finally took a deep breath.

Tails swallowed, looked directly at the dragon, and said with difficulty, "Yes...... I am a descendant of the Bright Star family. ”

The scene is a little weird.

It's like Tails talking to himself to a dragon.

[You have a good name, whether it is on the genealogy of the Bright Star or the Imperial Family, it is not common to give it to anyone?]

The dragon's amber eyes were still on him.

It made him feel uneasy.

Tails inhaled deeply and blinked, unable to suppress the tension in his heart.

"Thank you," he muttered, trying to keep his voice from trembling, "Tails, this is, this is mine...... The name given by the adoptive father. ”

Tails suddenly noticed, he couldn't make out what language the other man was speaking in his mind.

But he just understands it.

[Nope.] 】

I'm talking about your second name. 】

The dragon continued to speak in his heart in magical language.

And the face of the Queen of the Sky remained motionless.

Tails was slightly stunned.

Until he understood what the dragon meant, his face changed dramatically.

The second name?

Is that......

【Ser...... Orchid...... Handsome...... Pull...... Na ......】

A voice with a strange charm sounded in his heart!

That rhythm and rhythm, like ......

It's like chanting poetry.

It's as if there's a secret hidden inside.

Tails stared blankly at the Queen of the Skies.

The dragon rolled its eyes and stared at him.

Her Majesty's voice rang out again:

[A beautiful dragon name.] 】

Tails was shocked!

The next moment, the dragon spread its wings!

"Whew"

The wind is blowing.

Tails and Little Slickhead had to cling to each other to fend off the wind!

In a storm that seemed to blow out of thin air, the dragon raised its head and let out a deafening roar.

"Roaring ......"

Almost shattered Tails' eardrums!

In the next second, the dragon's body leaped out of thin air.

"Boom!"

A huge shock came, knocking the two to the ground again.

The wind continues to creep in.

After more than ten seconds, the wind became quieter.

Tails barely opened his eyes and looked at the sky amid the sobs of the little slippery head.

In the field of vision, the Sky Queen unfurls a pair of broad giant wings, leaving a silhouette between heaven and earth that he will never forget.

Her figure is getting smaller and smaller.

Finally disappeared into the deep darkness.

Never to be seen again.

(To be continued.) )
