Chapter 25: Portrait of a Dragon

Sand. Sand. Sand.

Go cactus!

Oh, it's dead.

Sand. Sand. Sand......

Van Kerr forced himself not to fall asleep due to boredom during the flight. Tired of the endless desert, he carried his chief of staff in one hand and a large sheepskin bag for the princesses in the other. "Why am I incognito again?" The dragon asks his minions, who insist that Wink use his "wink" ring. "Why don't we bring the other Minions?"

"Because otherwise B

a

do

Mau

E will shoot us as soon as he sees us, and my 'cloak of death' gives me some disguise. "The Minion sounds tired and as bored as his master." It's best to travel light. ”

"Minions, I mean why should I care if that demon notices?"

"Because we're on a mission to rescue the princess, that means we need to be cautious. Otherwise, Moore will evacuate them to other places, and we may not know where they are this time. ”

Finally, when Winkel squinted his eyes at the horizon, he finally noticed their destination.

A rock as large as the highest peak of the Albon Mountains floats above the desert, a fortress city made of red blood-colored bricks; Beneath the flying buildings, green stones unleash a whirlwind of sandstorms that make the city float in the air. Winkel noticed a number of flying creatures patrolling the skies near it, each of which served as a passable snack.

Arriving at his destination, instead of being happy, Manling Victor let out a heavy, muffled sigh.

"Minions, why are you so upset?" Manlin Victor's enthusiasm for this adventure was also far less than Winkel had imagined. Come to think of it, he didn't fight over Van Kerr bringing a princess bag, and this Minion usually worries about everything. "Did you have a baby?"

"Nope. I tried. The servant sighed in despair. But it turns out that Alison loves girls......"

Goddess of the Forest?" Minions, I'm not that harsh on the Minions. For example, I allow you to give your eggs to Manlin Charlene. ”

"I'm pretty sure the Song came first."

"Then eat him." Winkel could have sworn that the minion was looking up at his master in confusion, but he was wearing a cloak and couldn't tell. "You're the chief of staff, and he's lower in the food chain than you. If he bothers you, eat him. I've never eaten werewolves before, but they must have tasted like Chelborough, thick and thick. ”

"Your Majesty ate a monster?"

"When I was a young maggot, I fought against my ancestors with the other dragons. In those days, they kept sending the devil to kill me. Eventually, the fairy lords gave Winkel and his relatives a large sum of gold as a tribute as an apology for their lying that they had created the world in the first place.

Speaking of food, what is the taste of the wind?" I could feel someone stalking us. Van Kerr hummed in the air. It smells like a large bird with human head meat on its back. ”

"Huh? We should be careful, it could be someone from Moore-"

(Solar judgment!)"

A beam of light suddenly struck Winkel's back, and the explosion caused him to fall on the dry sand below.

[Solar's judgment bypasses your [Fire Immunity]!!

"Minions, my back is uncomfortable," Winkel said, opening his palms to find his staff unharmed. "What is this?"

"I think that's pain, Your Majesty!"

Is it painful? Of course not, only mammals suffer from this disease.

Winkel looked up at the man who tickled his back, a burly knight in heavy green armor. This treacherous fellow rides on the back of a golden lion with the head, wings, and talons of an eagle.

Vulture! And it's an adult, fatty!

"I suspected you of guilt until I skimmed through your course, Victor. [Monster Squire] and [Grim Reaper]!" The knight pointed a shining sword at Winkel, who could tell that it was a cursed artifact used to slay dragons. According to the voice, the knight was a female Manling. "An evil offspring of a soul thief and a necromancer, and a little dregs!" And your perks! [Heim], [Hellfire Channel]!

"That armor......" Minions said as the dust settled. Oh my God, 66th floor?"

"I'm Kia Bekele, Ga

demag

E's Shining Knight!" Prepare to die, scoundrel!"

Annoyed that the Green Knight didn't declare his name, Van Kerr blasted the bird out of the sky with a fireball.

“[B

avewi

To the dragon's surprise, the bird and its knight were blown away by a strong wind and flew away from his flames. They swooped down, as Winkel kept trying to fire at them, so fast that even the dragons could hardly keep up. Before the knight could react, he slashed between Winkel's neck and shoulders, cutting off a scale.

[A

dight deals double the damage of [Fairy] [Dragon Slayer]!

Like that damn lich, the knight and her flying bull retreated before the dragon could attack them. Manlin Victor tries to help his master, firing blue hellfire at their enemies, but she flies out of range and circles in the air. Winkel suddenly wondered how she could notice him out of sight, and just one glance at him, the sand on his body revealed his location.

On it, the knight is ready to dive backwards, glistening in the sun.

The woman Manlin was anxious to make Winkel live up to his name. "Minions, stay there and don't move." Winkel ordered his Manlin to put him and the princess's bag on the ground. "I'm going to fly and take care of this in-flight snack myself."

"Your Majesty, she is the strongest adventurer of the Northwest Wind and the one who killed King Baraur!" Don't underestimate her!"

"Bala Ulron?" This time, this brought Winkel to a halt. “fomo

?”

Just one man riding a flying ox killed Baraul, the second greatest catastrophe of this era? When?

"Magic Purification!" Van Kerr roared, revealing his dragon in all its glory, his Pe

K denied the invisibility of his ring. "Fear my wrath, knight!" You are facing the Emperor Vaun Knight Bain, his I, the catastrophe of this era, the Emperor of the Silent Grove and the Albon Mountains, the killer of Freben!"

"I know about the lich." The knight said, raising his sword. "I wanted to say thank you, because we didn't have time to kill him before, but—"

"You know Fu

ibo

Things?" Van Kerr glared at the knight and suddenly became furious. "You didn't do anything?" Do you know what he's doing in the dungeon? You know what?"

The knight stopped and stopped her from going down. "Excuse me?"

"I'm sure he must have sacrificed hundreds of little princesses to prepare that terrible, dirty, evil spell!" Before I could stop him, he was about to make it public! Do you know how much he has made me suffer? The bloody war I had to participate in? The sacrifices I had to make? You know what?"

"Uh, no, I-"

"You will, if you have enough literacy to read The War of Hoarding!" Winkel kept roaring. "My servant was Fu

ibo

kidnapped and tortured!" The lich stole his vegetables and forced him to eat baby coins!"

"Your Majesty, maybe you're exaggerating......"

"My servant risked his life to seal the soul of that evil lich!" Winkel ignored his chief of staff and continued to humiliate the knight who laid down his sword. "We must fight three hundred demons until he is strong enough to imprison that fallen monster!"

"I, I ......" The knight struggled to find the right words in the face of her obvious incompetence. I...... I'm sorry, I don't know ......"

"I'm fed up with racism from you people!" Van Kerr was furious. "I am the adventurer of the best dragon of your backward race, and when I solve your problems, you refuse to give me the reward I deserve! You even sent thieves to steal my treasure, even after I worked so hard to save the only true way of life from Forpun!"

"His Majesty always says that all species are inferior to dragons," Manlin Victor reminded his master.

"It's a fact, not stupid superstition!" Winkel replied, and the knight fell silent, and her griffin looked up at her in confusion. "The attitude of your race has not changed my opinion in the slightest! I started with Fu

ibo

Saved all the good things in the world in their hands!"

"Also, attacking us after using a magic scan, just because I have a monster class, and Vai

queu

Is it a dragon?" Victor the servant shouted to the knight. "It's called racial profiling!"

"Yes...... It's not!" The knight protested feebly. "Two seconds. [Enhanced Karma Scan]. ”

"You're here again!" Victor accuses her, and as she looks at Winkel and his servant, a light-hearted word appears in front of the helmet.

"No, I didn't!" She protested, her voice quickly faded. "Well, I checked your karma and you're all neutral, dragons tend to chaos and Dalton leans towards goodness."

"Dalton?" Van Kerr squinted at his minions.

"That's my last name," Manlin said, and Winkle realized that he had never even thought his servant might have one. "Also, neutral... Isn't that a polite salutation for the bland?"

"Enough talking!" Van Kerr spread his wings. "I'm going to kill you, knight Chia, and eat your flying cow because of your treacherous attack."

"Me, uh...... I don't think we need to fight anymore, I'm in too much of a hurry. The knight said and cast a spell. Sorry, (Healing Rain). ”

A rain of gold dust fell on Winkel and his servants, and the dragon instinctively tried to catch it; The powder disappeared at the touch, but his back was no longer itchy.

You've recovered all your HP!

"I'm sorry." The knight said, although she kept a decent distance. "I'm mistaking you for bad people, not good mercenaries. I can't believe I never thought you would be a hero like that. ”

"This happens all the time," Manling Victor said with surprising enthusiasm.

"Minions, you're going to have children with someone else." Wankel reprimanded him for being incorrectly prioritized, the Minions bowed their heads in shame, and the knight flinched. "She attacked me and she will pay tribute to me as an apology. I am asking for at least five griffons as compensation. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's a good idea. She has to be as strong as you, and we're going to save the princess. ”

"Minions, real dragons have no rivals." Winkel replied, unwilling to let it slip away. Even if she kills Baraul, he is only the second greatest calamity after the dragon. Winkel earned this title.

"The princess you want to save?" The knight interrupted him. "Princess Me

veille? Are you going to go to Mauria to save Princess Merville?"

"She and all the other princesses were captured by Moore." Manlin Victor said loudly.

"So you...... Are you going to keep them to yourself?" The Flash Knight asked, her sword gripping the hand swaying.

"Of course not, do you think I'm a horrible pro-human?" Van Kle shuddered in disgust. "As soon as I have done this, release them back into the wild, and your King of Manling has promised me the favor of saving them."

"Your Majesty hasn't told me how much they plan to ask for on this matter."

That's because of Vai

queu

Want a special gift. If King Manling is unable to deliver, then the dragon will not ask for anything except a million gold coins or a hundred thousand jewels to increase his current reserves.

"Okay, we've got an agreement." The knight landed her griffon on the ground in front of Wankel. "I apologize for my unreasonable assault, but I will not give up my griffon. Still, if you agree, I can compensate you by helping you find. ”

Winkel squinted at the griffon, who glared at him. "I'm listening." He said he hoped the knight would help send his princesses to the Gollumers.

"First of all, let me ask you, do you plan to fight Moore yourself?" Because I can't support it. ”

"Why? Because would that be dangerous?" Minion Victor asked.

"What? No, that would be great, I have to go. "It does sound dizzying." For months, I've been trying to convince my party to teach that pompous devil bastard a lesson, but they've always dragged on. The same goes for lichs. If only we had known that he would cast an evil magic that threatens the world......"

"Your weak mind can't imagine how far Furiben has fallen." Winkel said coldly. "He is pure evil, the kind of evil that exists for himself. He's a dead piece of lead. ”

"For a dragon...... I don't want to ask about the bloody details. Is it his soul in the scythe?" The knight looked up at Manlin's victor's weapon, "I see...... You chose the cursed Reaper class, because that's the only way to defeat the Lich. It must have been a difficult choice. ”

"You can say ......"

The Green Knight took off her helmet, and Winkel narrowed his eyes, for it was the first time he had seen a man with such dark skin and hair that was not ugly. Manlin Victor stood speechless, while his master remained indifferent. She doesn't smell like a princess.

"I am the Kachin Independence Army. Kachin Independence Army Bekele. Sorry to shoot you out of the sky. She combed her hair with one hand. Both of you have a bad reputation. ”

“Ca

ihaveyou

autog

aph ?” Manlin Victor spoke so fast that even Winkel's noble ears could not understand it. The female Manling smiled happily. "You are the Knight of Flash, the greatest paladin in the world!" Are you really a self-proclaimed person?"

"Me. I'm from Ethiopia, but I've been in the UK for a while. "The knight seems to be struggling to find her words, which are clearly as bad as Manlin Victor was in his pre-breeding conversation." What about you, Victor, where are you from?" Can I call you Victor?"

"Of course! I Ame - - - - - - "

"Manlin." Van Kerr took a puff of his cigarette, annoyed that the knight had ignored him. "You hit Mu

mu

i

Emperor and Albon, how are you going to make amends for your crimes?"

The knight put away his scabbard and opened his empty palm, and a shiny blue egg-shaped stone appeared in the palm of his hand. "It's a (Agarthan Warp Stone), a one-time item that can teleport you and anyone back to wherever you've been. It even bypasses protections for teleportation effects, such as the barrier protecting Mauria City. ”

"My (treasure hunting eye) tells me it's genuine, Your Majesty." Minions said.

"I always carry two, just in case." Said the knight. "You can use it to move everybody to a safer place, away from Moore."

Oh, and that way, Van Kerr wouldn't have to burn fat on the way home! Perfect. "As Emperor of the Silent Grove and the Albon Mountains, I accept this tribute and forgive you for your sinful offense against me personally. If you had changed to another dragon, your arrogance would have killed you, but I am magnanimous. ”

The two men exchanged glances. "It's a dragon." They said at the same time, and then Victor frowned. "You've met someone else again?"

"I fought with the previous party. Blighted swamp, I guess that's her name. ”

"The poor bastard who lives in the country?" Vai

queu

Sneered. "She doesn't even have a hole in her swamp!"

"She had a tar pit before we removed her. I don't know where she fled to. ”

She escaped from Manlin? Ma

li

GS? Thinking about his invitation to her for his own Show-Off Day, what did Van Kerl think?

This makes his celebration even more important. As far as Winkel knew, he was the only one to protect the honor of the dragons against hordes of lichs and peasants. He must restore the pride of his loved ones.

"Also, Norstrem's informant told me that you threw the Apple of Wisdom to Brandon Moore." The knight asked the servant Victor. "As far as I know, it's an iPad?"

"Engineer from Lockheed Martin." The servant said, the knight frowning. "And the corresponding schematic."

"Well, it's really time to kick Moore's ass. Don't underestimate him. "He's eccentric, but no one survives a duel with him, and he has one of the best fighter combinations in the world."

Van Kle shrugged his shoulders contemptuously. "He's an elf. Elves are cows, and they eat grass. I'm going to eat him and get the princesses. ”

"Don't underestimate him, though." She turned to the flying stones. "Shall we go?"
