Chapter Ninety-Three: Alchemy Travel-Haifeng Tundra
In the early morning, amid the crisp chirping of birds, Ruinon opened a pair of panda eyes and said mechanically, "Get up...... Wake up early today...... Alchemy ......"
Erisde is a quiet and serene town with clear air and simple people. Walking down from the teleportation array, a fresh local smell rushed towards him.
Arroyo Constantine asked a sweeping uncle for directions, then turned back to Rinon and said, "Rainon, hey, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to go to bed early last night?"
Ruinon opened the pair of panda eyes with difficulty and yawned and said, "Kang...... Ah, Lord Stantin...... Ah, grandpa, can you wait...... Ah, wait for me? Yesterday night...... Ah......h Didn't ......."
It reminds me of when I was a kid, and just like you, I couldn't sleep all night excited when I heard that I was going on a trip or something. Konstantin said happily, "I'll help you!" and with a light touch of his hand, Ronon felt himself light, and his feet were floating in the air with his feet pressed against the ground. Konstantin turned around and strode forward, and Rinon followed, but luckily his feet were floating on the ground, otherwise it would have been like a ghost in broad daylight.
"Wake up, wake up! Renon is leaving. In the haze, Ruinon heard someone calling him, he rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist and yawned, and asked himself in a daze: "What am I ......?"
Konstantin still smiled and said, "It's just sleeping." ”
"Ahh
"Outside of Erist Town, we can't summon the flames in the town, right?! It seems that you are really comfortable floating in the air, so you should always stand!" After speaking, Konstantin took out a staff more than a person tall from the space bag and waved it towards the sky, and a fiery red flash streaked across the sky,
"Roar!" a low dragon roar came from the sky.
"Hey, hey, big lizard, be quiet. Constantine waved his staff and yelled at the flames, "You've disturbed the inhabitants of Erist. ”
"Poof!poof!poof!poof!" The slow and rhythmic sound of a fan was heard, and a cloud of dust rose from the ground, and the powerful air currents blew Ruinon from side to side, making him suddenly sleepless.
"Master, what is the matter with summoning me?" Blaze asked with his head down.
"Excuse me, please drag us for a ride, fly westward, to the sea peak tundra. ”
"Do you want to take him with you?" Blaze asked, narrowing his huge eyes as he looked at the dusty Rainon.
"Yes!"
"Roar!" Blaze let out a disgruntled roar!
"Hey, be quiet!" Constantine yelled at the flames with his staff, "I'm your master! I said I'll take you!" The goose-egg-sized crystal at the top of the staff emitted a dazzling light, and violent telekinetic fluctuations emanated from Constantine's body.
"Gollum ......" the flames flapped their wings, and there was a disgruntled sound in their throats, and they had to lean down obediently.
"That's right, here comes Renon. Konstantin put away his staff and beckoned to Ronon and said, "Go up from here." ”
When Rainon reached the back leg of the flames, he saw two huge iron chains wrapped around the fiery red dragon body, and a soft rope ladder hanging down the chains.
When I climbed to the dragon's back, I saw a wooden slab on it, with iron chains tied to the four corners of the slab, and there was a place for four people to sit on. Konstantin jumped to the tablet and said, "In order to get rid of your sleepy worms, I will punish you for not sitting." ”
"Don't! I was awake when the flames came down. Ruinon hurriedly shook his head and said.
"Hehe, huh, then you have to sit down!Go, Blaze!" Constantine threw his big hand into the air, and an invisible magical enchantment enveloped them. The flames flapped their huge wings, and with the sound of "hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!", the heavy dragon's body began to rise slowly.
Renon stood up, walked over to the barrier, and poked his finger.
"Don't worry, you won't fall with this barrier. Konstantin took out a cushion from the space bag and spread it on the ground, and sat down, "I laid this barrier to protect it from the wind and rain, and of course it can also prevent the things in the barrier from falling out of the barrier." ”
"Really? It's fantastic. After saying that, Renon stuck the whole person on the enchantment, and looked at the smaller and smaller trees and roads below with a pair of black eyes, and he said excitedly: "This is what it feels like to fly on a dragon! ”
"Ho ho ho ho! Konstantin smiled and said, "But it's not so easy to make the most powerful creatures on the Middle-earth continent submit to humans. The first thing you need is strong strength, but also a firm and fearless heart. ”
"Yes, how many people on the Middle-earth continent can do it to become a dragon knight, such an unattainable target?" said Ruinon dejectedly, "By the way, Grandpa Constantine, when did you become a dragon knight?"
"When?" Constantine recalled, taking the oak staff from the space pouch, "it has to start when I got married. I got married later than the average person......"
"Uh, get married?" Renon thought to himself, "What does the dragon knight have to do with you getting married?" not to mention that you married a female dragon......
Konstantin ignored Rinon's question, and he said to himself: "That year I went to participate in the Magister certification, and at the entrance of the examination room, I fell in love with a young girl. She is very beautiful and has a high degree of attainment in the study of magic. I proposed to her after the exam, but it was rejected. ”
"This ......" Rainon's brain obviously hadn't reacted yet, what does this have to do with becoming a dragon knight?' he asked again in his heart.
Konstantin didn't care about Ruinon's surprised gaze, and continued to himself: "She said that she can't marry me, because her husband must be a man who has traveled through heaven and earth, one of the strongest in the world. Oh my God! she's such a fantasical, innocent little girl. Ruinon, you also know that I have no talent, and I was thirty-nine years old that year. ”
Although Renon didn't know what Arroyo Constantine wanted to talk about his past, it was enough to be ashamed to take the Magister certification exam at the age of thirty-nine and be said to be untalented. Is the title of Magister something that can be obtained casually? Some people will not be able to reach this peak even if they live for the rest of their lives!
"She was twenty-four that year, fifteen years younger than me, and I was amazed at her magical talent. At first, I was just curious, but I went up to talk to her and found that she was cheerful and innocent, and before I knew it, I was in love with her. After the exam, I got the title of Magister, and of course she got it. When I came out of the Wizards' Guild, I proposed to her. But who knew that the qualifications of the Demon Master were nothing at all in her eyes. ”
"The Magister is nothing, she actually wants to be one of the strongest in the world, her vision is really high...... "Ruinon picked up Konstantin's words and said.
"She is indeed very demanding, but I did not give up because of this, I asked her what kind of man is considered a man in your eyes. She replied to me, 'A man who is among the strongest in the Middle-earth continent, and who is not afraid of the dragon. I said, 'Dragon Knight?' and she smiled and said, 'Yes, if you can become a Dragon Knight, I'll marry you.' ’”
"Hey, Grandpa Konstantin, that's why you became a dragon knight?" said Ronon in surprise.
"Wow! The power of love is great. Nightmare's voice sounded in Ruinon's mind, "No wonder there are so many monarchs in human history who want beauty and don't want the country, and that's because of love." Oh! I am so moved! Because of love, human beings can abandon money and fame, because loving human beings can challenge danger at the cost of their lives, because loving weak human beings can make dragons submit. Love is the greatest power in the world...... I can't help but write a poem for love. ”
"Can you be quiet?" Rainon suddenly sweated profusely, and he said to himself, "Will not speaking will suffocate you?"
"Will hold back the sickness ......"
"Yes, just for her, because what could be heavier than Vanessa for me at the time?, after a year of preparation, I set out on my journey to the Dragon's Canyon. ”
"This ...... Grandpa Konstantin, are you saying that you just got your Magister certification and went to challenge the dragon?"
"Yes. Hey, Renon look. As he spoke, Konstantin stretched out his staff to Rainon, "The jewel on this staff was given to me by Vanessa the night before I left. I took it into the Dragon's Rift, where Blaze was the first dragon I encountered, and I narrowly outran it, taking it as a mount and becoming a dragon knight, and later married Vanessa. At that time, I seemed to think that I was the happiest person in this world!" He stared at the staff in his hand.
"Master, you don't have to be too humble, your strength was already very strong at that time, and your will to win was unmatched. ”
"Oh ho ho ho ho! Blaze, you've won the prize. Konstantin put down his staff and said happily, "Ruinon, maybe you think that at the age of thirty-nine you will be awarded the title of Magister and become a dragon knight at the age of forty, these things can only be done by a person with outstanding magical talent and luck, but in fact, there are many people with better talent than me, just like Vanessa." I am just an ordinary person, but I have a pursuit and a dream, plus an extremely determined heart. You can do it all, too, and the Dragon Knight isn't that unattainable. ”
"Really?" said Rynon as if he was tired of standing up, so he sat down and asked rhetorically.
"It's been a long time since I've talked to anyone about my past, Xie Lu, thank you for listening to this quietly. Constantine stood up, "I didn't think time would pass so quickly." Ruinon, look, the sea peak tundra has arrived. Look at this lush forest, and oh, and the outpost over there...... I'll go down and say hello to the guards first. After saying that, Konstantin closed his eyes and silently recited the incantation in his heart.
After a flash of light, Konstantin appeared in front of the outpost.
Haifeng tundra is located at the junction of the border, and naturally there are a number of border posts, each of which is heavily guarded. Under a watchtower, a bearded sentry reached out and untied the wine bag from his waist, stretched out two rows of yellowed teeth, bit off the cork, and sniffed it under his nostrils. "Ahh......h Huh?" he was about to take a second sip when he noticed something in the sky that seemed to be flying towards him, "Is this...... Dragons?"
With a "grunt", the wine bag in the bearded sentinel's hand rolled to the ground, and the wine scattered to the ground with a mellow aroma. The drunken sentinel stared at the dragon in the sky, not realizing that the wine bag in his hand had been spilled, as if it was water and not wine flowing on the ground.
"Dragon...... Dragon...... It's a dragon!" he stammered.
"What?dragon?hey, beard, I said you were drinking too much and daydreaming, right?" shouted a tall, lanky soldier from the watchtower, poking his head out and looking down. The soldiers at the outpost gave the bearded sentry a very figurative nickname: Beard.
"You...... You...... Look at the sky...... Heavenly ......" the beard stretched out a trembling finger to the sky.
"Oh, my creator god, how can the dragon be here? Hurry up and set off the fire!" the tall and lanky soldier had just turned to go to the beacon when he suddenly noticed an old man with white hair and a slightly clumsy figure in front of him. The old man held an oak staff in his hand, and with a slight thud an invisible energy spread out, and the tall and lanky soldier felt that he was being controlled by a force of inexplicable power, unable to move.
"No, that dragon is just my mount. Konstantin began, "Why don't you take back the order, and if it is too late, I will become a sinner of the state." ”
"You...... You...... You are Master Constantine......" The tall and lanky soldier recognized the old man in front of him, "Hey, the brothers' order to release wolf smoke has been cancelled, and it is Master Arroyo Constantine, and the dragon is his mount." ”
Konstantin revoked the spell and said to the soldier with a smile: "I am going to enter the sea peak tundra, a total of two people." Where's the camp administration? I'm going to have to say hello and register first. I don't want to be seen as an enemy by the patrols here. You know, my temper isn't that good. ”
"Yes, please ...... here," the tall and lanky soldier rubbed his hands together and hurried forward to lead the way.
"Konstantin? is he? No wonder there is a dragon!
Ronon stood on the back of the dragon and looked at the figures coming and going in the outpost camp below, and thought to himself: From another point of view, humans are so small, like ants crawling all over the ground. Those so-called gods see us humans in the same way, right?
"You're right. But Rainon, one day you will be able to look at those 'gods' from this perspective. The trembling voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, hey, I haven't heard you in a long time. Where have you been all this time?"
"I've always been with your soul......"
"Damn! I just sensed the mysterious power, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again. Suddenly, the voice of the nightmare sounded in Ruinon's head, "Ruinon, keep talking to it, I don't believe I can't catch it." ”
Ruinon: "......"
"Whew" Konstantin suddenly appeared next to Ruinon, "The people in the army are always so enthusiastic, it really makes me a little uncomfortable, I don't like that feeling." ”
"Okay?"
"Alright! The pass is done. We're going to be arrested as spies. Konstantin waved a roll of parchment in his hand and said, "Blaze, forward!"
The deeper you go into the tundra, the colder the air becomes. The terrain began to rise, and the vegetation on the surface changed from dense forests to turf and low shrubs.
"The first potion on the list: cold-blooded potion. Well, the material is around here...... Let's go down. Konstantin took Rinon's hand and said.
After the flash, Renon and Konstantin appeared in a thicket.
Stepping on the soft grass and breathing in the dry and cold air, Ruinon thought to himself: This is the sea peak tundra, and I will make this trip worthwhile.
