Chapter 31: Kidnapping

Ryses writhed for some reason, and then noticed that his body began to float uncontrollably into the sky.

It turned its head and tried to blow the big black airship away in one go, but the fishing nets that bound it were gradually hardening, making it difficult for it to turn its head. So it rolled in mid-air, intending to make it bigger, and then stretch itself apart from what bound it. But no matter how big or small it gets, those nets cling to its body, and it can't be shaken off.

And it was floating faster and faster in the sky, as if something was sucking into the fishing nets on it.

Diarrando stood on top of a building that had barely finished his hand, and had already seen Sophia's convoy, a female knight in red and bright armor with heavily armed palace guards and a carriage with metal armor halfway from half a street away.

He wanted to meet the convoy, but the battle situation in the air was a bit strange, and the invincible Risen stopped attacking the airship just now, but floated high into the air with the airship, not knowing what he was planning to do.

"Rieseth, what's wrong with you?" Dearlando tried to teleport himself to the young dragon's back, but the two men in his arms were not out of danger, so they had to roar at the dragon with the loudest voice.

Reses let out a strange snoring sound and shouted in reply to Deirlando: "I can't control myself anymore, keep flying up." It's weird that this thing binds me......"

"Hold on! I'll save you later!" watched as Ryses flew higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, he had risen to a height of several hundred meters, and it looked like a small dot. Diarrando felt anxious. But at this moment, he couldn't let go of the person he wanted to protect, so he had to shout and comfort the young dragon while running in the direction of Sophia, planning to hand over Lovelan and Dino to the Bear Knight as soon as possible to escort them back to the palace before chasing Reseth.

The clouds in the sky were thick, and the clouds were coming from nowhere, and now they were pressing overhead, covering most of the sky, and it looked like it was about to rain. Rises's white figure and the huge black airship had gradually disappeared into the dark clouds, and they were about to disappear in front of their eyes.

Dearlando picked up his speed and flew in front of Sofia's convoy. At this time, the raindrops of soybeans have begun to fall. Dense droplets of water smashed on the ground. Dust was splashed on the ground, and soon a layer of moist air mixed with dirt and water vapor formed close to the surface.

At this moment, Dearlando suddenly lost the close contact he had been keeping with Rises. That feeling of emptiness, as if someone has suddenly gouged out your heart. He let go of his hand. And the man who was in his arms fell. Fortunately, Sophia had already dismounted to meet her, and caught Princess Lovelland and Dino in one hand.

Dino looked at Dearlando with a confused look and asked, "Where did Ryeth go......?

Dearlando clutched his chest, a terrible feeling of emptiness enveloping him. He was speechless for a while. Ever since he was resurrected by the dragon, his life force has been filled with Reseth's presence at all times.

Whether he was asleep or awake, he could feel Rises's energy pulsating against his veins, beating with his heart. And now the familiar voice was gone, and although there was a huge sound of rain in his ears, his heart fell into a terrible silence, and only his lonely heart beat lonely in the desolation.

After Sophia stuffed Lovelan into the carriage, she noticed Deirlando's strange reaction. She put a hand on Deirlando's shoulder and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

But her question was not answered, and her face was blank, and her eyes did not know where to look, as if only a shell had been left, and the soul did not know where to go.

"Your Highness?" Realizing that the situation was not good, Sophia began to shake Diarlandor, but the other party still did not react. Zuihou couldn't help it, and the female knight had to raise her hand and give Diarlando two slaps in the face.

After two loud slaps, Diarrando woke up from his shaking, touched his face blankly, and then asked the same thing as Dino: "Where did Reses go?"

Sophia also had a certain degree of mutual sensitivity with the dragon as a totem knight, and she also felt the sudden disappearance of the dragon Liliang, but not as strongly as she felt as a contractor and symbiote.

She understood that something must be wrong, and standing here at the moment could not solve the problem, so she simply stopped her waist and hugged Diarrando and stuffed it directly into the carriage. Then he closed the door and got on the horse, and escorted the procession back to the palace to find the queen.

Above the clouds, where the ground could not see, a mortal could not imagine that a miraculous creation was glittering in the sun. It was a flat, triangular block of rock almost two or three miles long on each side, two or three hundred feet thick at the thinnest point, and it floated above the clouds as if it were completely weightless, and the surface of the rock was covered with all kinds of buildings, most of them of wood, and the castle-like buildings at the highest point in the middle were of stone.

Rumbling steam spewed down from the dense pipes on all sides of the rock pan, forming a thick cloud of darkness wherever it passed. This is the most haode cover, no one can see through the clouds to the floating city on the clouds. This mysterious royal city is the only land in the Hovland continent that is outside the control of the human queen - Cloud Return City.

At this moment, under the rock plate, hundreds of Yu people are hanging on iron chains and operating nervously. They jumped between the swaying chains, wrapping the gray cloth in their hands around the young dragon they had just captured, wrapping one layer around it, and tying it with chains. Then he hooked the iron net that bound the young dragon with countless arm-thick chains.

They bundled the chains as they contracted, eventually pulling the ball-like young dragon into a half-open groove directly below the rock. Eventually, the dragon ball was chained to the grooved handles.

Confused, Ryses was wrapped with only two eyes exposed, and couldn't move his mouth if he wanted to make a sound. I could only barely make a whining snoring sound. It had been unable to find any trace of its symbiote since then, and in fact all of the magical perceptions it emitted were reflected off by the gray cloth that wrapped around it. If it weren't for the fact that the eyes could still see something, it would be as if they were buried in nothingness.

Born now, it has never encountered such a strange situation, Ryses struggles desperately in panic, but no matter how much it struggles, everything around it is firmly locked on. Only one thing is for sure, the air is filled with the smell of water that day on a pirate ship. If it's not mistaken, it should be something called "pumice".

Reseth rolled her eyes, surveying the small area she could see. In the dragon's field of vision. It's a reflection. All you can see is the energy emitted by yourself that bounces back. So unaccustomed to it, the young dragon switched its gaze to the human state, and the advantage (or disadvantage) of symbiosis with Deirlandor is that it has one eye that is the structure and function of a human.

Normally, it never used human eyes to see things, and it is only now that it has to change its visual patterns.

A large gray rock appeared in front of his eyes. You can see tiny sequins that shimmer evenly throughout the rock. When the light flows. Small sequins in the rock reflect bright light from different angles. A unique light wave is formed, a bit like seeing the reflection of the sea surface at the bottom of the water.

In front of me should be a semi-circular cave, the walls of which are covered with huge iron hooks. The chains that bind themselves are hanging from these hooks. Along the bottom of the cave, there is a path that is carved deep inward. A railing was built on the side of the road to prevent someone from accidentally falling off the edge of the flying rock.

A staircase descended the mountain wall into the interior of the rock, and Reeth couldn't see if there was such a passage from other angles, but he estimated that the cave might be similar all around. It's like an upside-down straw hat under a rock, and now I'm like a prey covered in a straw hat, and I can't go anywhere.

In the young dragon's cognition, it did not know that there was such a substance that could completely reflect all of its own energy, and it began to feel a little worried about its fate, and deeply missed its symbiote. Having lost its soul twin, its soul felt a little empty and sad. There is a desire that grows in the heart, making it toss and turn.

It didn't take long for it to feel a familiar call approaching it. The human's vision saw a tall, lanky figure wrapped in pitch-black silk and leather, leading two other humans up the steps of the rock. Reeth watched carefully for a long time before finally confirming that the creature had seen it himself. It's the contract candidate known as the Dreadhorn King.

It was this man who actually wanted to take the initiative to break the contract with the dragon, an arrogant guy. Resis writhed in displeasure, intending to let out an earth-shattering roar, and the chain that bound it shook violently, making a piercing scraping sound.

The two slender figures following behind the Dreadhorn King moved uneasily, and then Reth heard one of them say, "Daddy, it doesn't seem to be tied up yet, isn't it dangerous for us to stand in front of it." ”

The Dire King let out a low laugh as he stretched out his slender arm and pointed in the direction of Reseth and said, "My darlings, don't worry, these pumice mines will seriously interfere with the dragon's magic, and it will be wrapped in it, as if it is trapped in quicksand, and it will be completely powerless. For magical creatures like dragons, our pumice stone has magical powers, and it's ridiculous that humans don't understand the magic of pumice stone, and only think that it can be used to provide energy. ”

"Daddy is so good, so what's the use of us catching this dragon?" Arnoyo happily hugged the arm of the Dreadhorn King, and then asked coquettishly.

"What's the use...... If I could, I would first sever its ties with its previous contractor, and when it lost contact with the symbiote for a certain amount of time, its own magic would cause it to actively seek out the next contract candidate to sign a new contract. Once the contract is transferred to mine, I can go and kill that bastard from Turanda. ”

"Father, do you mean you want to own this dragon?" asked the calmer Kermia unhurriedly, and then added curiously, "How do you know you can deal with the dragon like this?"

The Thorn King Daxiao got up, he hugged his two daughters, and then said proudly: "Actually, I can't be sure that this method will succeed, and I didn't want to take such a risk." But that kid is too bullying, and I have no choice but to let go. I've been dealing with that crazy woman Alan for so many years, and I've been impatient with what kind of racial parliamentarism I can't help but obey. Now, if I can really take over the dragon's contract, the day will come when our Feather people will reign over the world again. ”

"Daddy, Daddy, haven't we always been very good? What do you mean to reign over the world again?" Arnoyo asked curiously, shaking the arm of the Dreadhorn King.

"You know what, our Feather People were originally the most noble race, and the elves were inferior to us. At that time, we had gorgeous feathers all over our bodies, had a pair of beautiful wings, and could fly freely between heaven and earth, our homes were all over the land, sea, and sky, and we were the only intelligent race in the entire shijie. ”

"But that fallen star changed everything, the nascent lands and the nascent races multiplied too fast, they robbed us of our resources, and polluted our bloodlines. It has turned us into the nondescript appearance we are now. ”

"Father, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all?" Kermia herself was a quiet reader and studyer, and now she had never heard everything the Dreadhorn King said, and she couldn't help but wonder how ignorant she was about the history of her ancestors.

"No, it's not time to tell you the truth. In the future, when I have fully mastered the contract of this dragon, I will take you to a magical place. There, there are secrets that no one knows, and that's a place that only I can find. ”

Resis listened to strange topics from the people in front of him, felt the unconnected magical tentacles in his body stirring, and felt the attraction of the Dreadnosaur King, the magical imprints left by the previous dragons shining on his body, even through the mask made of gold.

But it didn't want to make a pact with this man, and part of it resisted making a new pact with anyone other than Dearlando. It has its own symbioteos, more suitable than anyone else.

The thirst for magic swept over Reseth's body once more, but it writhed with all its might, letting the rough feeling of the chains rubbing against its body suppress the surging hunger. (To be continued......)
