The queen adjusted the hat with her hand so that it was slanted over her head.

"Oops, it's a bit ugly, you can just take it with you. Bear with me, don't dislike your aunt's craft. ”

Although she spoke lightly, Dearlando could clearly feel the weariness in the queen's voice. Just as he was about to thank him, the next moment, he realized that he had returned to the council room where he had just been.

The little kingfisher stood on his right shoulder and said softly, "Remember, as long as you can lower the Craya Imperial City to less than ten miles above the ground, I will have a way to knock it down." Zoya is already waiting for you outside, and your buddies seem to be here too. Go ahead, go get Resis back, Dino and I'll take care of Haode for you. ”

Dearrando stopped talking nonsense, and strode directly to the door, and the chamberlain, who had been waiting outside, immediately led the way for him. Instead of going outside, they went straight up the stairs to the upper floors of the palace. After going up the fourth floor, I came to the platform of the Sky Airship.

At sunset, a huge multicolored bird perches on the high platform where the airship is usually moored. The giant bird was more than fifty feet tall, and its wingspan could be more than two hundred feet, almost the size of half a Resace. It had a red mouth like a sharp spear, the feathers on its head stood up like a crown, and two long whiskers dragged out from under its eyes, fluttering in the air like streamers.

A pair of golden-red eyes are blazing, and the opening and closing reveal the vicissitudes of time. The king bird of the elven race, with a lifespan of thousands of years, is almost a mount that accompanies every elven king for life.

Sixteen broad belts were tied around its shoulders, neck, chest and abdomen. On its back was fixed a pavilion. The pavilion is made of verdant bamboo, and it is also covered with lush bamboo leaves, which are intertwined to form the top of the pavilion. Brightly colored vines and scattered flowers dot the bamboo, giving this naturally growing throne a vibrant beauty.

Zoya, Fayir, Rum, Lanli, Dan, and Radar all stood in the pavilion, making the once spacious platform space now cramped. Dearrando jumped briskly on the bird's lowered wings, and squeezed into the small pavilion that was supposed to be the passenger seat.

He glanced at the crowd and said embarrassedly, "I lost Reeth......"

Zoya glared at him angrily, and then whispered an elven word. Hearing her command, the giant pelican flapped its wings and began to run, then leaped off the high airship platform. The wind blew past everyone's ears, and after experiencing a rapid fall for a second or two. The colorful bird flapped its wings. Everyone exclaimed in amazement as they brushed one of the towers of the Lily Palace and began to climb rapidly.

Radardu's face turned green again, he covered his big mouth, closed his eyes, and did not dare to look around. I'm afraid of throwing it up again.

Zoya felt pitiful for him though. But still, a reminder: "This is my mother's mount." If you spit on it, you'll be thrown off by the pelican in no time. ”

Fayle simply cast a slumber charm on the giant, and then tied him to the bamboo with a bondage charm. After solving this small problem, he turned to Deirlando and said, "I really didn't expect that you would destroy the dragon after only half a day without you." ”

Deirlando replied angrily: "How do I know that he actually has a way to imprison Reeth, you only said that the Demon Dragon King destroyed all the pumice stones in Bran's territory, and you didn't say that the pumice stones can trap the dragon." ”

Zoya looked at her pendant and said, "Don't say you don't know, we don't know." It's strange that the Weishenme Dinox King knows how to deal with dragons. Or maybe the people of the Weishenme Yu clan knew that there was such a method, and they didn't say it for a thousand years to deal with the Demon Dragon King?"

"This is only the only way to catch that cunning guy, who keeps saying that he wants to give up his qualifications to compete, but he directly kidnaps the dragon in the past, and when I zaijian finds him, I will definitely not spare him!" Dan was rarely emotional, knowing that he was the one who had the best chance of taking over the young dragon from Deirlando, and he couldn't help but feel resentful when he messed up the situation for this person who was killed halfway.

"I always feel that the Dreadhorn King knows a lot of things we don't know, if you really catch it, don't kill it, you have to keep it for interrogation. Lan Li picked up his hand and said lightly, and immediately got Rum's consent: "At the beginning, none of us knew about this sixth candidate, so I don't know if he was the earliest contractor. ”

Zoya immediately agreed, and it turned out that when the dragon signed a contract with each candidate, a list of later joiners would appear in the minds of the previous contractors. Zoya was the first of the five remaining contractors to sign, and when the other people's contracts were made, she was sensed at the same time.

This is also the reason why Weishenme was able to organize and gather this joint team to go to Turanda, because when the previous candidate dies and a new successor is born, Zoya will also sense who the latest candidate is.

The average lifespan of the Feather Race is about five hundred years, so there must have been a replacement in the past thousand years, but if Zoya doesn't know anything about it, it can only mean that the candidate of the Feather Race has a greater advantage than her. If the earlier the person who signs the contract, the higher the priority, then it is not difficult to understand the current situation.

Diarlando listened to their analysis, pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder if the Feathered Clan is earlier or later than my ancestor's contract?"

Zoya said curiously: "You Weishenme said so, Starlight signed a contract with Lantis when he came, and later signed a contract with us one after another for the smooth holding of the resurrection ceremony. Even if the Feather Clan is before us, it will definitely not be before you. Otherwise, it wasn't them who saved Shijie, but your ancestors?"

There was something in Dearlandor's heart that he couldn't say in public, and he was now beginning to suspect that the Feathered Humans had been in contact with the Starlight Dragon even more in ancient times, when the Five Thousand Year Dragon had anchored Hovlan's Star.

The secret jishu of the Feather Human Clan, as well as the knowledge of Reeth, are obviously not coincidences. But it's useless to make any guesses now, everything can only be learned by waiting for the Dreadhorn King to be caught.

Zoya glanced at the pendant on her chest again. He commanded the pelican two more times. Dearlando could hear that she was telling the bird to adjust its direction and fly east.

"Your pendant can still track this castle? Alan Bixia said just now that she couldn't track the city of Lyard. He leaned over Zoya's back and looked over her shoulder into the pendant.

Inside the pendant there is a place name at the moment, which is a place called Saya. Zoya closed the pendant and held it tightly in her palm, and then replied to him, "My pendant can tell me the real name of the place that my heart really yearns for, and this is not a magical tracking, but a kind of divination." ”

After she said this, she opened the pendant again, and by this time the name of the place displayed inside had changed, from Saya to Tush, and it was obvious that the target was constantly moving as time passed.

"I've locked my destination to the city of Klayati. But because it's also flying at full speed. So I'm going to keep adjusting my direction so as not to chase after me. ”

"And how long do you expect it to catch up with it?" Diarrando looked ahead as the giant bird flew, it was getting late, and only a ray of the remnant sun was on the horizon and refused to leave. Most of the sky and continent were already in darkness. Lookout from the sky. Originally, the field of vision could have been seen very far. But when the light dims, it's hard to tell the flying castle hidden in the thick clouds.

Zoya bit her lip and replied hesitantly: "The Klaya Emperor City that I know can probably move more than three hundred miles a day. But it preceded us, and my divination was delayed, and if the other person guessed that we were going to chase them, constantly changing directions, it might take us hours to catch up. ”

"How long is it going to take?" Dearlando smacked his tongue anxiously, "It's been a long time since Rysaith last eats, and if she doesn't feed it, he'll probably go berserk." And my loss of contact with it has been so affected, it should have a serious impact on its side. I'm really worried......"

Zoya's face changed suddenly, she tugged at Deirlando's sleeve slightly, shook her head slightly when the other person's eyes turned to her, and then glanced at the other candidates. Deirrando suddenly realized that he had just slipped out of his mouth, inadvertently revealing that Resis was now in a state of no contractor.

Although everyone pretended to be nothing, Dearrando immediately felt a subtle change in the atmosphere around him. A vague sense of tension permeated the crowd.

Deirlando knew that they all had a little bit in mind at the moment to take out the other competitors and then have their own chance to make a pact with Reeth. He didn't break it, but mentioned one hundred and twenty cautions to the people behind him, and the subsequent rescue trip may have to worry not only about the attack from the Dreadhorn King, but also the sneak attack of his "teammates" on his side.

"Zoya, my experience in the past two days has made me curious, how does your elven magic survive in this land?" Dearlandor suddenly asked a completely unrelated question to ease the tension that was growing in tension. Then he asked Rumme and Fayle in passing if they felt that their magic release was still disturbing or weakening.

Zoya smiled, tucking her long, windswept hair behind her ears, pulled out her orchid leaf staff and said, "You've heard about the disappearance of magic in this land. In fact, this influence is also present to us, so our people are gradually migrating east of Hovland. Moreover, the use of magic by our elves requires relatively little external elements, and is mainly driven by our own spiritual power. So our magic is only somewhat weakened, unlike normal humans, who hardly release it at all. ”

"And the use of magic, first of all, must have a firm belief, the human beings here have lost their faith in magical things, and their natural will is shaken, even if they still have the ability to release magic, they can't release it. ”

As she spoke, she recited a spell, and a faint yellow ball of light came out at the top of the orchid leaf staff, and then flew up like a firefly, landing on top of the bamboo pavilion, and then the entire surrounding plant began to glow as if it had been lit up, illuminating everything in the darkness.

Slowly moving through the clouds of its own formation, the castle is surrounded by tall towers on all sides, each with long, specially made telescopes that are curved on a pedestal so that the lookout can see the surroundings in the clouds.

"Look! Something is glowing in the direction of three o'clock in the west!" the lookout feather man shook his companion next to him, asking the other party to take a look and confirm the results of his observations. You must know that this place is more than twenty miles above the ground, and it is difficult for even an airship to fly to such a high position, and the speed of the airship is not as fast as the movement speed of Layati City. So the glowing target that seemed to be getting closer was definitely not an airship.

"Hurry up and sound the alarm, that must be the enemy that the king wants us to pay attention to. The lookout who got up later looked at the telescope twice, and was sure that it was not a miscalculation, and immediately pulled the string beside him. The rope swayed, ringing the bells on it, and the crisp sound of metal clashing instantly reached the core of the rock, the rock fortress towering in the center.

The feather man guard, who was alerted, immediately rushed to the restaurant of the Dreadhorn King, who was in a happy mood, was holding a sumptuous banquet in the hall, and had been drinking with his men for more than two hours.

"Chief, something is wrong, Tower Four has noticed something approaching us at high speed, and it is still glowing. The guard fell to his knees and reported the latest news in fear, then slammed to the side by the glass dropped by the Dreadhorn King.

"Panic what, order to extinguish all lights, turn off all steam engines, and keep silent. Who can spot us in the dark?" the Dreadhorn King scolded his men, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. In the end, he threw away the barmaid next to him, pulled up his robe, and walked towards the largest watchtower at the beginning of the castle.

In front of the long telescope, he adjusted for a long time, and finally saw the point of light that was stable and slightly undulating. After staring at the target for a few seconds, he cursed loudly: "Yarans, you stinky elf, actually came to deal with me, originally I also planned to spare you elves after getting the dragon, since you don't know whether you live or die, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"You immediately give the order to fight the whole city, prepare all the air fire crossbows and pumice cannons, it is the spirit of the elven queen, it is very fast and very agile. Fire as soon as it comes into range. (To be continued......)
