Section 34 Descending the Dragon

The magic communication was simple and simple, but this time it was a little delayed because it involved some maps on the file. Probably because of his repeated urgings, the magician in charge of communication looked at Aracet with strange eyes several times, but now he didn't care about that.

What the hell was Garth summoned for? Although the title of "Commander of the City Defense Force" is quite good, he is definitely not a favored vassal in the Emerald Court. Besides, there is no war in Tyrian City at the moment - this is the big rear of the big rear, and Her Majesty the Queen will definitely summon Garth for no reason.

When the arraignment was completed, Aracet immediately hurried back, but on the way, he happened to see several of the queen's maids passing by laughing and laughing in front of him.

"That Prince Ashrufat is really ......"

“...... This is a test for the Queen, who is a prince and cannot refuse such a request. ”

"Dear ladies. Allasyet's heart moved, and he hurried two steps to catch up with the maids.

"Oh, it's Lord Aracet. The maids stopped and smiled at Aracet. Arose is a beautiful man even among the elves, and his status is also noble, so he is originally the type that is very popular with women. All these maids knew him. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Ladies, it looks like you've just come from Her Majesty the Queen," said Aracet, with a graceful salute, "am I right?"

"That's right. The maids replied.

"I overheard you discussing Prince Ashrufat...... What happened to him and the Queen?"

"It seems like he's going to see the Mother of Dragons. A maid replied. "I guess he asked the queen for a dragon to mount. But that's my guess, and I don't know the details. ”

"The prince wants a dragon, but almost all of them are on the front line......" Aracet could not help but be a little stunned. "Although the Mother of Dragons has many children, those dragons are all wild and untrained......"

"Lord Aracet," replied the maid who had just spoken politely. "I'm not very clear about the stuff. But going to see the Mother of Dragons is only that. ”

"Ladies, may I ask who the Queen is seeing after the Prince? I see Garth summoned. ”

The maids laughed, for the affairs of Aracet and Garth were no secret at all. After a long time, one finally answered.

"Your Excellency Aracet, the Queen has summoned many people since the meeting of Prince Ashrufat. First Garth, then several of her advisors, and finally Shuluga was summoned ......"

"Shuluga, the shadow warrior?" Alaset couldn't help but frown. This one was persona non grata - like most Warrior Elves, he had a distrust of the Shadow Warriors in his bones. You must know that according to the bloodline, region, and habits, the shadow warriors are closer to the dark elves than the Shenwu elves. The Azul have always been accustomed to looking at the Shadow Warriors with distrust, even when they are fighting side by side on the battlefield. This is already a deep-seated prejudice.

Of course, there has never been a record of betrayal by the Shadow Warriors. But who knows what the future holds?

"And then?" asked Aracet.

And then ...... Then the queen went to rest. ”

"I mean, where did Shuluga go?" asked Aracet. Things are getting more complicated and seem to be getting more and more interesting. Summoned the commander of the city defense forces, and then summoned the Shadow Warriors, who were in charge of guarding the perimeter scouts. According to his position in the army, Shuluga was supposed to be under the command of Garth, and theoretically any will and orders of the queen could be conveyed through Garth without the need to summon him directly. This suggests that this matter may not have anything to do with the military - but if it was just a personal whim of the Queen, then why did she want to see Garth?

His mind turned back to his previous job. By the way, the plan for the expedition against Nagarus! If Prince Ashrufat really intends to realize this plan, then he will need the help of the dragons. And it's completely understandable that Gars and Shuluga were brought in successively. Garth was a commander on the military front, and consulting him was a natural choice. And Shuluga has a lot of experience fighting with the dark elves, and his opinion also has a good reference value.

An expedition?, Aracet pondered, even ignoring that the maids had left—such disregard was originally taboo in aristocratic etiquette. Suddenly, he was once again interested in Prince Ashrufat's affairs, even more intensely than he had before.

When he had finished reporting to the Queen, he would have searched carefully. Where did that prince come from? Where did his bloodline originate? He must have had a great identity.

......

"Master, if the Jade Queen's guidance is correct, then we are already close to our destination. In her mind, Carrie reminded. "Try to be aware of your surroundings, dragons are moody creatures and can easily attack you. ”

"I got it. Ashrufat stopped, looking around.

He was almost at the top of the mountain now. It was already early in the morning, and at this time there was a magnificent sea of clouds at his feet. The clouds and mist shrouded the mountainside, turning the mountain peak into an isolated island in the sea of clouds, making people feel a sense of mystery in the otherworldly world at this moment.

I guess that's pretty much it...... The Mother of Dragons should be in a cave at the top of the highest mountain. With the dragon's sense of smell, it may have sensed the arrival of Ashrufat. Of course, it is also possible that it is not in the nest at the moment. This was the last thing Ashrufat wanted, as no one knew how long it would be before it returned.

"Master, the tail behind is still following. In her mind, Carrie said in a mocking tone.

The "tail" Carrie was not the elven horse that Aerufat was riding, let alone his retinue—he had made the journey alone, and had left the horse at the foot of the mountain long ago. But as soon as he got up the mountain, he noticed someone following him.

Ashrufat spent half a day playing a game of hide and seek with the tracker, and with Carrie's help, he was able to confirm that the tracker was a shadow warrior. Moreover, this shadow warrior was very strange, and he quickly judged that the other party was sent by the Emerald Queen to follow him.

Carrie was at the end of the day and suggested that Ashrufat ignore him and instead get rid of him by moving quickly, which was accepted.

It must be said that the Shadow Warriors' ability to disguise, stealth, and track is masterful. Although Ashrufat possessed almost never tired physical strength and agility beyond normal creatures, the shadow warrior was able to follow him all the way through the mountains and mountains, and I don't know how many complicated terrain the road had traversed.

"Still following?" said Ashruphat had been on the road all night last night. He had thought that he would definitely get rid of the other party, but the fact that the shadow warrior could still keep track now had to make him admire his professionalism.

"Well, still follow. He must be in the middle of that pile of rubble a hundred paces to your left. Carrie replied. "Even though he hides it quite cleverly, I can feel his presence. But after rushing all night, he should be so tired that he is almost lying on the ground and not moving. ”

Ashrufat hesitated, unsure of what to do with this "tail" for a while.

"Master, I advise you to leave him alone. Since he was sent by the Emerald Queen, it didn't matter what he saw. Anyway, the Queen already knows who you really are. ”

"That's right. "Ashrufat decided to take Carrie's advice. "But I'm a little strange, why is it so calm here?"

"Master, according to normal logic...... I think ......"

Before Carrie could finish her words, a gust of wind blew, sending sand and rocks away. Ashrufat had to cover his face with his arms to ward off the flying sand and dust.

This gust of wind was not the wind of nature, but the frantic flutter of a pair of huge wings. Right in front of Ashrufat, a bronze dragon was slowly descending from the sky.

“...... It's an ambush. Carrie's words were not finished until now.

The dragon was huge, much larger than the zombie dragon that Eshurufat had. The sudden wind just now was brought by the dragon swooping down from the sky. The dragon had been hiding high in the sky until now, watching as Ashrufat wandered around and around before rushing down unexpectedly. It's a way of hunting, and if it's a prey, you'd be intimidated by now.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the Mother of Dragons. By the way, they said that the Mother of Dragons is highly intellectual and intelligent, and can even use the Elvish language. Ashrufat cleared his throat and was about to communicate with the dragon, when the dragon bit him.

"Wait a minute!" Ashruphat dodged to the side, hiding behind a rock. "I'm not an enemy, I'm at the behest of the Emerald Queen......"

"You're not from the Azul!" the dragon roared, his voice like thunder. "The Azul clan asked you to come here to eat me. Then a raging fire erupted from his mouth and sprayed it on the stone where Ashrufat was hiding. This is no ordinary flame. When Ashruphat had to retreat because of the heat, he saw that the stone had melted like cheese. Legend has it that dragon flame is enough to melt steel, and it seems that this is not a lie.

"Master, it doesn't seem to be a guy who can communicate. In her mind, Carrie said. "The elves are intent on using their hands to destroy you...... I reckoned that unless you defeat it, it's impossible to communicate with it. ”

"Hmph. Ashruphat summoned his sword and armor. Although it was a trap, for some reason he was not afraid, but rather excited. Bloodthirsty impulses and rage surged over him.
