Chapter 15: The Wrath of the White Dragon
A strange procession marched through a narrow mountain pass in the Fulong Mountains.
This trail, which is barely visible from above, is located at the bottom of a narrow canyon, and the cliffs are covered with vegetation, and the people and horses passing below are really not visible from above.
Garnis rode his horse alongside Master Famit in full armor, and at the same time looked at the young mage who was leading the way twenty meters in front of him, and suddenly felt something.
"The world only knows that the Fulong Mountains are extremely dangerous and may be attacked by dragons at any time, who would have thought that there would be such a wonderful passage. If the road could cross the entire mountain range and reach the Miles Empire on the other side, it could shorten the journey by at least three months. β
Famet whispered, "Through that adult's territory?" β
Garnis smiled wryly.
No matter who the other party is, he can live in the middle of the Fulong Mountain Range surrounded by dragons unharmed, and he can't be a weak chicken without the power of a chicken, right?
Lich?
Or a reclusive archmage?
Consultant Garnis prefers to choose between the two.
If he killed Garnis, he wouldn't have thought that some weak chicken mentor wouldn't be able to let alone the dragon, in fact, he wouldn't even be able to pass the level of Hantan, let alone say it.
After penetrating deep into the mountains, a dragon's roar could be heard from time to time at the end of the sky.
This kind of roar, which contains the deterrent power of the creatures at the top of the food chain, ordinary people can't stand it just by hearing it, and can be in a trance at best, or scared to death on the spot by having a mental breakdown.
Garnis and the rest of the entourage had bad faces.
Although the narrow mountain path gives them the best cover, on the other hand, if they encounter a dragon in this terrain, it is definitely a life and death.
"Roarβ"
Another thunderous dragon roar.
Luckily, the horses' mouths were tied early on, otherwise the neighing of the horses might have lured the dragon in.
Garnis asked, "How far is it from Your Excellency Quixote?" β
"Turn the mountain road in front of you and you can see the mountain where Master's hermitage is located."
Garnis thought for a moment and said decisively: "Leave one person to watch the horses, and the rest go on foot." Raise the banner of our envoys. β
A red and yellow background, shaped like a shield, with the emblem of a two-headed lion on its crown, was held high.
There is no doubt that this flag represents the glory of the Kingdom of Cervantes!
In both directions, north and south, obstructed by the mountain walls and vegetation, it should not be visible from the outside, and Garnis decided that a great power like the master of the Downs would be immediately visible to them as soon as they approached.
Not concealing one's whereabouts, marching from east to west in a dignified manner, this is the etiquette of the envoys.
After walking for less than ten minutes, I just saw the black lone peak in the distance, and the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy.
Downs jerked the reins of his horse.
"What's wrong?" Garnis asked.
"Master...... Master, he ...... Probably found us, and he ...... He seems to be very unhappy. Downs' teeth chattered.
After days of experimentation, Garnis was surprised to know that Downs's master was good at using lightning magic, and the fact that he had spotted them at this distance.
Oh, my God!
It is almost two kilometers from the peak.
Is this a perception of their existence?
What kind of strength is this?
"No...... Unlikely. Master Famet swallowed.
Garnis pondered for a moment, and he also felt unlikely: "Let's slow down and move on?" β
Tang Si's whole body was numb: "The words are ahead, if the master is angry, please don't come close again, let me go and ask the master for my own guilt." β
Recalling Master's remark that a certain king had given a kingdom treasury and was dismissed by Master, Downs felt more and more that it was Garnis's poor manners, which made Master unhappy.
The team slowly moved forward for more than ten minutes, and suddenly Downs raised his right fist high, which was the agreed stop gesture.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, Master's Mage Tower is lit up!" Downs's voice was like crying.
Following Downs' gaze, Garnis and the others looked to the top of the mountain, and were immediately taken aback.
In the sky, dark clouds were churning and rolling, and it was evident that an unknown force was stirring the atmosphere.
The thunderclouds thundered and thundered, and the thunderous sound was like a big drum, and it slammed on everyone's hearts.
Within a three-kilometer radius of the sky, thousands of lightning bolts, large and small, began to gather in the form of trees to the top of the mountain, and the thunder light easily became the only master in this airspace!
The birds of the mountains flew in terror, instinctively trying to get away from the terror that had suddenly befallen them. Many of the birds and finches even panicked and died on the 'air raid tree' at the top of the hillside before they could fly completely, and fell miserably again.
The half-elf advisor's mind, which had lived for more than two hundred years, went blank, and it took him a few seconds to react and realize how terrifying this thunderous power really was!
"In ancient legends, legendary mages harnessed their floating cities to charge the kingdoms of the gods in the Upper Realm, and even knocked some of them down...... This legend turned out to be true......" Garnis trembled, both excited and worried.
The archmage on the opposite side, who was at least a legendary, suddenly opened the mage tower, which meant that the other party was quite unhappy, or something had happened.
If the situation at this moment was just made up by Garnis's own brain, then the next scene immediately strengthened his thoughts.
"Roarβ" A distant howl came from the sky.
"Dragon! White Dragon! In the messenger procession, the high-ranking forest ranger in charge of the guard immediately pointed to the southern sky and shouted.
A huge, graceful creature is spreading its wings and breaking into everyone's field of vision.
The pure white body glittered in the reflection of the thunder, and the scales seemed to be shrouded in a circle of sacred and inviolable white aura.
It roared, its claws on its limbs seemed to poke out slightly, and the most eye-catching rangers in the messenger could even see the dragon's body covered with fine, solid scales, and the meteor-like hammer at the end of its large tail that was longer than a siege catapult.
Fortunately and a little unfortunately, the White Dragon was not targeting the envoys, but the one on the top of the mountain.
The white dragon raised his head and looked at the human on the edge of the strange electric tower on the top of the mountain with eyes that were full of inorganic aura and like diamonds.
There was a slight commotion among the messengers.
Master Famit gritted his teeth: "Hell! It's the young white dragon! White dragons are beasts that are never reasonable. β
The White Dragon, also known as the Ice Dragon or Glacial Dragon, is a creature known for its sluggishness and stupidity. They do not deserve such a reputation. Although the white dragons have remarkable bestial qualities, their intelligence is the same as that of other colored dragons. They just don't care about complicated plans or political power, preferring to live their lives as hunters and treasure collectors.
They will attack all living creatures in their territory unless a potential victim can quickly provide a sufficient reason not to kill them, such as a gem that will make them happy.
This young white dragon with a body length of more than 12 meters is very troublesome, and normally speaking, it takes a five-person team whose strength has just entered the master level to compete with it.
Right!
Just a fight!
The white dragon's innate high mobility means that it can escape at any time, and then the white dragon will retaliate endlessly and endlessly at any point in its long life, at any point in the future, against those who have angered it.
