Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Unexpected Trial
Everyone's faces were serious, the atmosphere became very heavy, and the air seemed to condense into solid. Diarlando looked at everyone and deliberately joked: "Don't be like this, I'm not dead yet, how can you say goodbye to the body seriously." You have to have faith in me and Reeth!"
Zoya took out her necklace from her arms, walked to Diarlando, and said seriously: "I have faith in you, so you must bring my necklace back, it has a special meaning for me." You can take this to my mother when you go back......"
“...... Xie Lu Xie. Dearlandor knew that the necklace was a treasure given to her daughter by the Elf Queen, and Zoya had worn it since she was a child, and it was of great significance to "lend" it to herself at this moment, and there seemed to be many other meanings beyond the words. He smiled and kissed Zoya on the cheek, and lowered his head to let the red-haired half-elf put a necklace on himself.
Princess Lovelan coughed lightly beside her, and after the two separated, she also pulled something out of her arms. "This is what my mother asked me to give you, you can take it, she said it might help you. With that, Lovellan stuffed something for Dearlando and strode away.
Dearlando stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a gray stone box, and when it was opened, there was a white star-shaped stone inside, which was made of exactly the same material as the star box and the throne where the queen's body was located, and it should be something related to dragons.
He felt that this thing contained a huge amount of energy just by holding it in his hand, and he had never felt that it was the blocking effect caused by the box made of pumice stone. Resis was drawn in, and his disgusted claws kicked off the small box made of pumice. Then he drooled and looked at the star and asked, "Can I eat it......"
“...... I don't know what to do. Is this food?" Deirlandor didn't expect Reeth to be so greedy when he grew up, this is a treasure given by the queen, how can he eat it casually?
Lovelan felt the hot eyes floating from the man and the dragon, turned his head and said, "Don't look at me, my mother didn't say how to use it." I don't know what this is, anyway, she didn't say that she wanted me to take it back, and it's yours to give it to you. ”
"Give me food! Give me food!" Reeth immediately became excited, screaming and rushing over to grab it, "That's mine!
Diarlando rolled his eyes in a headache, only when he encountered the problem of eating. Ryses could tell it was a dragon. What's the difference between making such a fuss and being a child?
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. But if you feel uncomfortable, spit it out immediately......" Before the words could be finished, Resis had already swallowed the star with his arm. The young dragon licked its mouth. He closed his eyes and stretched his neck. Snoring in his throat. It's as if you're reminiscing about the delicious taste you just had. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly grew to more than thirty feet. And a star-shaped scale appeared in the center of the forehead.
The young dragon that suddenly grew up directly crushed Diarlando. It embarrassedly raised its paws, causing Diarlando, who had been stomped to the ground, to get up. Because it suddenly grew bigger, the people around it were also pushed out, and the Dreadhorn King, who had been controlled just now, fell down and hit his head.
He let out a cry of pain and came to his senses, then looked around him and asked in horror, "Where are we, and how did I get here?...... It's you, it must be you again, and you're controlling me again! Can there be a little trust between people?!"
The Dreadhorn King crossed his head and pointed at Fayir. The mage glanced at him coldly and said, "If you can be trusted, I will jump into the soul furnace myself as a raw material." The people around him agreed, and the King of Thorns, who couldn't get support, had to shut up in disgrace, and then looked around with resentment.
"If you dare to use your brains, I'll let the watchmen lock you up or remove you. I think you know what a Warden is......" Dearlandor noticed that when he was warning the Dreadhorn King not to have bad intentions, when he mentioned the Warden, the Dreadhorn King's sharp bird's face faltered slightly, apparently he also knew some information about the Warden Doom.
But before he could continue to ask, Resis suddenly lowered his head, grabbed him by the shoulder, lifted him off the ground, and began to fly high into the air.
"Hey, what are you doing, Reeth?" asked Dearlandor as he teleported himself to Reeth's back using the connection between the symbiotes, stroking the young dragon's scales.
"The trial has begun, I'll take you to the training ground. Resis explained as she flapped her wings and flew into the sky.
"Ahh
"The training ground is 'on this island'. Resis said as he pointed his chin to the top of his head, and sure enough, as the young dragon spiraled higher and higher, a floating island corresponding to the island below could be seen above the sky.
The Forgotten Isle is a crescent-shaped island with a large circular lake in the middle of it, and at this moment Diarlando sees a circular rock cone about the size of the lake on the island, which looks like an upside-down tower. If he hadn't seen the Sky City of the Feathered Clan, he would definitely say that it was a big flying rock, but after seeing the Klea Emperor City, he understood that this must be another flying fortress. The Feathered Race is supposed to have learned from other people's experience before building a fortress.
Resaceus flew around the fortress that floated like a nail, then found an entrance at the bottom and flew in. Because of the small entrance, it had to retract back to the size of a kitten, and rested on Dearlando's shoulder.
Diarrando was on full alert after his feet landed, to be honest, he was also very bottomless about this second challenge, and his pretense of ease in front of everyone was just a cover-up, the pain of the trial just now was still vivid, and if he did it again, it really felt like life was worse than death.
"Reeth, what is it like?" he asked the young dragon a little apprehensively, and the young dragon shook his head and replied, "I just heard the watchman tell me that the trial ground is here, and he didn't say anything else. ”
"Okay...... So let's just go inside?" Diarlando looked at the dark passageway, took an uncertain step, then another step, and when he saw that there were no traps, he walked quickly. After all, time is limited, and if you can see the test questions earlier, you can be more sure-footed.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the empty passages, and in the darkness it seemed that the footsteps of another person followed their own sound. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately stopped, and the sound of the footsteps that followed him also stopped.
Dearlando turned to look around, his vision didn't have much effect in the darkness, and he didn't see anyone in the past. But as he walked on, the footsteps started again, and more often than before. If just now there was only one person following him, now there are three.
Reeth ...... Do you see anything?" Diarrando felt very weird, and had to ask Resace if it had different search results. The young dragon violently let the whole body glow, this light is slightly orange, where the light sweeps, some figures appeared, although it was only a flash, there was indeed something following him.
“...... What is that? What was the light you just put on?" Diarlandor curiously touched the scales of Reeth, which were still dancing with orange sparks.
"The light of discernment, nothing can be disguised in my light. I'll only be able to use it in the second phase. But those things seem to be you......" Rysis shook his tail and proudly showed off his new skills, but the last sentence confused Dearlandor.
"What do you mean, it seems to be me?"
"You didn't see it clearly, I saw it clearly, the human form that appeared was exactly like you. But since they didn't interfere or attack us, let it be, and let's keep going. Resace explained, then urged Dearlando to hurry up and move on.
As he walked, Diarrando turned around, and now there was no one in sight, but the footsteps continued to increase, and it sounded like there were already a dozen people. With a slight uneasiness, he finally reached the bottom of the passage, where there was a wall.
The entire interior of the passage was a dark gray color, and at the moment this wall was no exception to the one man and one dragon, and there was nothing on the bare wall. However, Resace suddenly flew up, and scratched the door with his front paws a few times, and a humanoid hole popped up in the wall.
"It's ...... Let me get through?" Diarrando leaned closer, and made a gesture on the hole, and found that the hole was made for himself, and if he walked in, he would probably be perfectly embedded, and he would not be able to move.
"This is called space-time slicing, you go in, I want to cut the different stages of your life, and so on to use the trial. Although it was still Reseth's appearance, the voice that came out had changed, and Deirlando was shocked to find that it was actually Ermenis.
He said goodbye to these guardian dragons of the dragon realm, and the actual time was not more than two days, but because there were so many things that happened, he felt that the last time he heard the voice of the guardian dragon Emmanis, which symbolized consciousness, was a long, long time ago.
"Why are you? Are you talking to me from the Dragon's Realm through the soul of Reseth?"
Emmanes' voice was smiling: "Why can't it be me? I was originally the examiner of the third stage trial and the fifth level trial." Originally, Reeses's test and yours were supposed to be done separately, but now that time is urgent, I can't wait, so I decided to merge it with you. (To be continued......)
