Chapter 20: The Thorn King's Request
Chapter 20: The Request of the Thorn King
The Dreadhorn King reached out and scratched his nose, with a pleasant expression on his face, knowing that wearing such a heavy golden mask all day long, the burden of his nose was enough to choke. Then he took the beak mask back with him, covering the mark that made his horrible and strange face look ridiculous.
"The portrait of you I've seen, it doesn't seem to have this ......" Diarlando compared the face he saw just now with the portrait he saw in the afternoon, except that the eyes became more slender and there were more fine lines under the eyes, there was almost no change in the person's appearance and portrait. But the star-shaped imprint, which is impossible to ignore at a glance, does not appear on the portrait.
The Dreadhorn King laughed softly, and then said, "This thing was originally on my brother's body, but I didn't expect him to run to me after he died, and he was still in this damn position." He laughed at himself and tapped his beak: "I've been carrying this thing for almost thirty years, so I thought about how pleasant it would be to walk in the sun without it one day." ”
Dearlando said disapprerovingly, "Do you care what other people say?"
The Dreadhorn King stilted his legs, leaned back in his chair and asked, "Did you think that one looked scary?"
"No...... It's kind of funny. ”
"yes, that's the problem. I don't care how much people fear me, but I don't want people to be respectful, but I think it's funny in my heart. So that's why I came to you, to revoke my qualification. ”
"What?" Dearlando didn't expect that the candidate who came out of nowhere would actually ask to give up the Dragon Singer's right to challenge.
"Originally, yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding, and I just let the boat go for a walk in the morning. Find someone to give my babes out of their anger. But now that I know who you really are, there are other ways we can solve this problem. ”
The Thorn King approached, propped his hands on the table, looked straight at Dearlandor and said, "You, cancel this contract and erase the mark on my face, and I, withdraw the lawsuit, and provide some help for your trip in Hovland in the future." Such a win-win deal, I don't think you will refuse, right?"
Dearlando was really surprised by the current situation, and things had come to this point. There is no tension at all. Although he didn't understand that the Weishenme Dreadhorn King was so dismissive of getting Rieseth. But if he could, he wouldn't mind fulfilling this reasonable request.
"Okay, I'll ask if I can lift it. After all, I just took over. I don't know about those things of the previous generation. With that, Dearlando stretched out his hand. Directly summoned Rythes with his mind. He wasn't interested in letting the other party find out where the baby dragon usually lived.
As soon as Ryses came out, he cried out: "Ignorant and arrogant humans, how dare you unilaterally propose to break the contract, no way! No way!" The milky white light emitted from his whole body spread over the entire hotel like starlight, and everyone could clearly see the appearance of the Dreadhorn King.
The pupils of the Dreadhorn King contracted in the suddenly brightened environment, and the pitch-black pupils in the original golden iris shrank as small as the eye of a needle, and the feathers on his body stood up a little, as if he was enraged.
"Rises, weishenme can't be dismissed, it's useless to have so many substitutes anyway. Don't you still have me?" Diarlando didn't understand how the young dragon's reaction was so fierce, and while calming the young dragon, he discussing.
"Shut up, you know what, numbers are certain, everyone is useful!" Ryses unceremoniously smacked his symbiote before flying in front of the Dreadhorn King's mask and landing directly on his spiky beak.
"Do not try to break free from the contract you have made with the dragon, death is the only way you can free yourself. ”
In order to be able to look at Riseth, the Dreadhorn King had to put his eyes together, and they just stared at me and I stared at you.
After a moment of stalemate, the Feather King finally closed his eyes, and then he sighed and said, "You forced me, if you refuse to let me go free, then I will do everything I can to kill your current contractor and become the successor." ”
"Then what can you do? He is under my protection. Reses cocked up the horns of his head and purred dangerously, dismissing the menace.
"You'll find out soon. After saying that, there were several exclamations in the room, and it turned out that the floor of Fayer's table suddenly turned into a big hole, and the four of them only had time to scream before they fell. Dearlando hurriedly got up and jumped over to save people, and when he saw the situation below, he immediately called for Ryses to come and help.
When it suddenly fell, Dino subconsciously grabbed the table, and Achille held Luna in his arms. Fayle reacted quickly, first laying an air barrier under everyone's feet, and his move saved everyone. This vertical trap under the floor is fifty feet deep. The bottom was filled with sharp spears, the tips of the shiny spears were strung with many former victims, and the bottom of the pit was surging and moving with black snakes and insects.
Even if the victims were lucky enough not to die immediately from the sharp spears, they would have been eaten by the poisonous insects in captivity for a short time.
With the air barrier in the way, everyone slowed down before slamming into the tip of the spear. The table that Dino was holding and the stool under his feet were not pierced by the tip of the spear despite the lack of impact, so the boy lying on the table was almost uninjured. Achille wasn't so lucky, he got up and wrapped up around Luna, so he directly became a meat pad. The left side of the body was cut through the skin by several particularly prominent spear tips.
Fresh blood dripped into the monster pool, which immediately aroused the carnival of snakes and insects. The cry of rope was loud, and soon the gap between the spears beneath Achilli was filled with a swarm of snakes and insects that were getting higher and higher.
Fayer's wind barrier was relatively strong around him, so although he also landed on the tip of the spear, he was not injured for the time being, except for being scratched on his clothes. But the next part of the trap was activated at once, and many holes were opened in the four walls, and black oil sprayed out from above, drenching everyone.
The poisonous insects smelled the black oil and quickly rushed to the surrounding walls, as if they also knew what was coming below. Looking at the swarm that retreated away like a tide in an instant, Fayle smiled bitterly, and sure enough, the next step was a fire attack.
But by this time Diarrando had already jumped down, and he was not afraid of the spears, and first took Achilly Luna in his hands, then motioned for Dino to climb on his back, and then grabbed the mage's sleeve and shouted to Reseth, "Take us up." ”
Ryses burst out with a white ball of light, enveloping everyone in it, and then spat out a long pillar of fire in the direction of his head, burning a large hole in the floor they had closed after jumping down just now, and blasting the two floors and the roof above.
Reseth's spark ignited the black oil around it with a bang, and the red flames immediately burst into flames. But fortunately, the young dragon had already opened the way, and it rushed out of the trap with a few people in the ball with a whoosh, and flew directly into the sky.
Outside, it put everyone on the roof, then turned around and flew down again, apparently trying to get the Dreadhorn King in trouble, Diarlando made a protective gesture to Fayel, and then jumped down with Reseth himself.
The left side of Achille's body was stained red with blood, and the wound was not deep, but there were seven or eight of them. Luna burst into tears when she saw it, and covered her wound with her hands in distress. Dino also hurried over to help, tearing his shirt into small strips and bandaging Achille.
Achille comforted Luna in turn, and then said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, such a small injury, my brother can do magic, just chant a spell casually." ”
However, just as he took out the new healing staff that Ruidan had given him before leaving, intending to stop the bleeding for himself. With a bang, the entire roof in front of him was blown away. The people on the roof were swept over by the air waves, and Dino, who had rolled the farthest away, almost fell off the top of the third floor, and Zuihou was able to hold on to the decorative mast of the exterior wall dangerously to stabilize himself.
As soon as Fayle saw that the situation was not good, Diarlando and the dragon were clearly planning to demolish the house, and immediately picked up Luna and called Achille to retreat to the eaves. Dino was nimble, and he was halfway down the mast. When they saw that they also appeared on the edge of the eaves, they immediately pointed to the mast and said, "From there, there is a place behind you where you can step on your feet, and it is easy to climb." ”
As he spoke, a second explosion rang out again, blowing up a window next to him, and Dino, who had been hit by the air wave, let go of his hand and fell from more than ten feet on his back, landing on the hard stone ground. He fell so hard that he made a heavy thud, and then he fell motionless like a broken doll that had been dropped to the ground.
Seeing that something was wrong, Fayl immediately used the levitation technique to slowly lower himself and Luna to the ground. When he landed, Achille also endured the pain and quickly slid down the mast to the ground. Ignoring the falling explosives and debris around him, Achille knelt down and wrapped Dino in his shirt, then picked him up and ran away from the fire.
When he ran fifty feet away, he immediately lowered Dino on the side of the roadside seat, carefully examining the injury. At this time, Ryses and Dearlando both appeared in an instant, one person and one dragon covered their heads, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" (to be continued......
