Chapter 15: A New Crisis

"This is a long story, but the most important thing is that the woman named Adele has the Bran spy organization behind her, and it is very large. She has been active here for half a year, with the aim of creating an evil device called the Soul Furnace. Dearrando held up his hand to Kenda with his back to the light from the window to show Kenda the nebula-like projection.

The faint starlight wasn't very clear because of the day, but Kenda could clearly see the boxes and the metal components that Dearlando had found in the cabin last night.

“...... Your Highness, when are you going to do this?" Kenda shook his finger in the starlight, and found that all those beautiful points of light could be touched, because of the disturbance of his fingers, the projected image at this moment was slightly distorted.

Dearlando put away the projection and said casually: "Before you know it, it will be, and I seem to have this function after being reborn, as well as this weapon and this leather armor." With that, he stretched out his hand to summon his own magic sword, as well as the hidden white leather armor.

"These are probably all side effects of signing a contract with a dragon, so let's talk about the Soul Forge first. Dearlando was about to continue the conversation, but Kenda seemed to be a little more interested in the changes in him, asking to see the weapon. Dearlando had no choice but to hand the sword to Kenda.

Kenda thoughtfully took the magic sword, and as soon as it left Dearlandor's hand, it turned into light and disappeared. Kenda frowned as Dearrando summoned again, this time learning his lesson and holding it in his hand for Kenda to inspect.

"Is this the Dragon's Heart Sword?" Kenda's fingers touched the blade and felt the powerful dormant magic inside, but it seemed to be different from the one that King Turanda had passed down for generations. When Kenda was enshrined as a knight, it was King Leighton's enthronement ceremony with the Dragon's Heart Sword, so he was familiar with the magic of the Dragon's Heart Sword.

"I'm not sure that this weapon can change into other shapes as I want, and I don't think it's as simple as a sword. "Dearlandor used his will to change the shape of the sword, turning it into a spear and then a hatchet.

"I beg your pardon for being rude, I think I need to ask His Highness for two tricks to prove my guess. Kenda took a step back, reached for the weapon that was set aside, and took an offensive stance.

The interior was small, and Kenda had a pair of short guns, not his own one. Without waiting for Dierlando to speak, he attacked first, and Diarlando just felt that he hadn't played enough just now, so he didn't say a word at the moment to meet the battle.

The two of them were in the not spacious guest room, around the furniture, and played ping-pong happily. Kenda and Dearlando have known each other for more than a decade, and they don't know how many times they have fought like this before, but both are very familiar with each other's offensive routines. So I just chatted while fighting.

"What the hell are you guessing?"

"This is also the suspicion of His Highness Ruyidan, he said that the last time he saw you, he could no longer feel the breath of a person in you. ”

"What do you mean by the breath of no man? I can eat, sleep, and breathe, where is not a human being?" Deirlandor angrily slashed three times in a row, forcing Kenda to retreat step by step.

"You also know that His Highness Ruidan is a high-ranking priest who is very sensitive to the magic of living beings themselves. The last time he saw you, he felt that you were now full of the breath of a starlight dragon, and he could barely feel the smell of your own soul. ”

After Kenda dodged the three swords, he immediately launched a counterattack, suddenly speeding up the attack, giving full play to the advantages of the two soldiers, and constantly attacking Deerlando's defensive space intensively from a tricky angle.

"Nonsense, I have the young body of the Starlight Dragon on my body, and my body is also regenerated by the dragon's magic, isn't it normal?" Deirlandor retorted disapprovingly, and as he saw the move, he blocked Kenda's short spear one by one.

"His Royal Highness Ruidan recently returned to Augustus in order to investigate the information related to the Dragonheart Knight, and in the process of digging the ruins, he discovered a secret room hidden under the Astral Palace. There he found scrolls about the human trialists in the Dragonheart Knight Challenge. ”

Kenda distracted Diarlando by talking about the top-secret hidden documents Ruidan had found, and at the same time quietly increased the strength of his hand, cleverly forcing Dirlando into a corner of the house where there was no way out.

"The innate spiritual power of human beings is not as strong as that of the dragon clan, even the pure-blooded elven clan cannot compete with the spirit of the dragon, if you want to complete the challenge of the dragon heart knight, you must complete the seven-layer will trial in the dragon realm......"

"Hmm...... Is that really the case?" Diarrando remembered what he had seen and heard in the dragon's consciousness this morning, and remembered that he had indeed never resisted the dragon's spiritual power before that.

"What else did Ruidan find?"

"His Highness Ruidan also discovered...... If ......" Kenda's movements suddenly slowed down, as if intending to say something important, and Dearrando slowed down as well.

At this time, Kenda suddenly sped up and stabbed him in the chest with two shots, and Dearrando was about to retreat to avoid it, but found that he had been unconsciously forced into a corner, and could only raise his sword to resist.

With two blows, Kenda's spear was knocked away by Dearlando, but Kenda's terrible third spear appeared in his hand at some point, stabbing Dearrando's unarmored throat with all his might.

Diarlando had already used his old moves, and at this moment, the empty door in front of him was wide open, and he had no time to withdraw his sword to resist this thunderous blow. In his panic, the black tip of the spear had reached his throat, and Deirlando didn't know if Kenda's divine magic weapon could cause damage to him, but at this moment he did feel the anger of betrayal and the danger of facing death.

A silvery white glimmer suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and then quickly exploded, pushing everything in front of him with a bang.

Kenda, who bore the brunt of the impact, was smashed directly into the opposite wall with the force of the impact, leaving a deep humanoid crater in the hard rock surface, and the fragments of furniture smashed towards Kenda like throwing knives. Before Kenda could barely fold her arms to block it, she caused a bunch of wounds on Kenda's body.

Kenda's body pinned to the wall emitted blue-white smoke, and soon the smoke cleared, and a huge silver-white giant wolf appeared in Kenda's original location. The wounds that had been cut by the shards began to heal quickly.

Deerlando's face was cold and he stopped the coercive power that had erupted unconsciously just now, and watched the giant wolf slide off the wall, shaking for a moment before standing firmly, as if he was not lightly injured. The giant wolf did not make any other move after standing firm, but fell down in submission, as if giving up resistance.

"I've known each other for many years, Kenda Durandab, and I'll give you a chance to explain—before Rises takes you as bait. Dearlando raised his hand and pulled out the young dragon in the star box, and the young dragon flew to his shoulder, hissing and salivating at the feast of homologous magic in front of him.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, as if someone nearby had been alarmed by the explosion and had come to see what was going on. Dearlando waved his hand, and the footsteps outside stopped abruptly, as if something had suddenly stopped others from entering.

The wounds on the giant wolf's body quickly healed, and then another puff of smoke covered the wolf's body, and the smoke cleared, and a slightly embarrassed Kenda reappeared in front of Deirlando.

"Your Highness...... Look into your eyes. Kenda did not retreat in the face of the anger emanating from Dearlandor's body, but said such an inconsecent remark. Seeing that Dearlando didn't know why, Kenda slowly bent down, picked up the silver-white helmet that was rolling right at his feet, and turned the smooth side to Dearlandor.

Dearlando turned his gaze to the mirror-like smooth surface and saw his face on the polished surface of the metal.

A pair of ice-blue eyes looked at him from the distorted reflection frame, the human pupils were replaced by the vertical strips of reptilian pupils, and his left eye, which should have been hazel-green, was now left with only a thin green ring remaining on the iris of his left eye, almost impossible to see without noticing.

"What's going on?!" Diarrando snatched his helmet in surprise and approached the window to inspect it again in the bright light. As his emotions calmed down, his slender pupils began to shorten and round, gradually regaining the appearance of human pupils. The green of the left eye, which had been compressed into a thin ring, began to widen, and after a while, it was completely covered with blue, and it returned to its original hazel-green appearance.

Kenda's melancholy voice sounded: "This is what His Highness Ruidan is worried about, although you have signed a contract with the young dragon, but because you do not know the correct training method, your soul and will have been eaten away by the dragon. ”

"Impossible...... I don't feel anything myself?" Diarlando looked at Kenda in disbelief.

"Because such a change will not manifest itself until you are in a desperate situation, according to the scroll, the battle between the soul of the dragon and the human is going on all the time, and the slightest moment of laziness will cause defeat and retreat. ”

Kenda stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded with Deirlandor to accept the advice: "Your Highness...... Please follow me back to Donseldeburg, His Highness Ruidan is working day and night to decipher the newly discovered ancient scrolls, and he should be able to find a way to decipher it as soon as possible. ”
