Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dragon
The dark god's premonition made Wren a little strange. Listening to the introduction of the Grand Duke of Film, Wren always felt that this was a bit like the divine dragon of Shenzhou.
"Captain Johnson, I must warn you once, since you have taken my mercenary mission, you must escort me to Arthur City first. Chloe said with a cold look at Johnson.
Johnson was silent, he understood that it was the mercenary's duty.
"Miss Chloe, you must know that there are many people in this world, their lives are very ordinary, they do not have glory and wealth. Running around every day may just be for three meals a day. But their lives are still lives. As far as you are concerned, if you can't marry the crown prince Floyd, you will only lose part of the family's interests. But for these civilians, they may have lost their lives. Wren said to Chloe in a low voice.
"Wren! Well said!" Johnson patted Wren on the shoulder.
"That's it! If you're in a hurry, Miss Chloe, you can leave now. Wren continued.
"Hmph, you'll regret it!" Chloe said, and walked away with the other mercenaries without looking back.
Only a few members of the Boulder Mercenary Group were left in front of the castle.
"Lord Duke, give us all the clues you have. Johnson said to the Duke of Film.
Duke Filin looked at the seventy or eighty people who had gone away, and couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
"That's it...... How many of you are okay?" asked Duke Filin, puzzled.
"Don't worry, we'll try it if we can. Johnson said.
"That'...... Well, three months ago, when we were repairing the road to the south of the mountain, we dug up a strange object by the side of the road, which was made of two balls. The ball on top is smaller, and the ball on the bottom is bigger. There is also a plug on top of the small ball. When the workers digging the road saw this miraculous treasure, they naturally wanted to pay me tribute. Duke Filin said.
"And then?" Wren suddenly felt that the two balls were made of something familiar to him......
"My poor boy Philip saw this strange thing, and pulled the plug out with his hand. Who knew that a puff of smoke poured out of that object. Philip hurriedly threw the thing on the ground. Who knew that out of the smoke came a beautiful woman. After meeting the handsome Philip, he insisted that Philips marry her. Philip refused, and the woman showed up as the prototype, the serpent-like horned thing I had just spoken. She took Philip captive. After a few days, it was said that their mansion still lacked some maids and subordinates. A number of nearby civilians were also taken captive. Duke Filin continued.
"Is that strange thing still there?" Wren asked.
"In...... In. Duke Filin hurriedly said, and asked people to present the treasure.
Wren couldn't help but smile when he saw the treasure. What two balls turned out to be a gourd......
"This ...... Where do monsters live?" Wren asked. Wren thought for a moment, and he estimated that the monster should be a divine dragon. Yes, the dragons of China. If it's really the dragon of God. Can he ask how he got here? After all, it's also a fellow countryman, not it.
"At the foot of a hill less than twenty miles east of Filin City, there was a waterfall at the bottom of that mountain. Next to the waterfall is a lake. They were there, and they didn't know what the monster was, but in just a few days they had built a few strange buildings there. Duke Filin hurriedly replied.
"Alright, Lord Duke, send someone to show us the way. I want to meet this monster. Wren said, he probably expected that this divine dragon probably did not have any malicious intent.
Duke Filin hurriedly agreed, and sent a personal guard to show the way for Wren and them. He saw that among the others, only Tyran was riding a horse. Hurriedly contributed a few more horses.
Wren and the others followed the guards towards the place without stopping.
Johnson was originally quite puzzling. But seeing how confident he was when he saw Wren, he didn't ask anything. Wren also gave them a lot of surprises.
"Wren, do you look sure?" asked Tyran.
"How sure can he be, I don't think Wren will be able to beat me. Zunbao spoke at this time. Normally, Zunbao doesn't speak, because Tyran thinks that his speech is easy to cause panic. But now it's all your own people, so it doesn't matter.
"It's not certain. It's just that I don't think the monster has any malice. Wren said.
"When the time comes, let me go talk to her first. If it doesn't work, let's solve it by force. Wren said. Challenging a dragon is exciting to think about. But this is an era of magic, everything is done with fists, and if you can't beat it, you can run.
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous. Molia worried.
"No, don't worry. Wren said with a smile that he had to make it easy for everyone.
More than 20 miles is really a blink of an eye for horses.
It wasn't long before Wren saw what Duke Filin had said about the strange building. Of course, wooden huts are strange to this world. But Wren felt extremely kind and proud. This carved beam and painted building is indeed a spectacle that only exists in China.
Wren told everyone else to wait at the door, and he came to the door alone and knocked on it.
"Knock! knock!" Wren knocked on the door, and soon saw a man dressed in the traditional costume of Shenzhou. But the hairstyle is indeed a common short haircut on this continent.
"Tell your master, and say that a friend is coming. Wren said.
"Oh...... Yes, yes......" The man hurriedly trotted in. It seems that the dragon has not yet had time to teach etiquette.
In a short time, I saw the gate open. A true ancient beauty of Shenzhou appeared in front of Wren. I saw her high bun, lightly drawn thin eyebrows, and delicate face.
"Who are you?" said the woman, exhaling.
"I'm from my hometown. My name is Wren! I think we're both from the Shenzhou Continent. Wren said.
Unexpectedly, when the woman heard Wren say Shenzhou, she actually left tears in her eyes.
"Are you really from Shenzhou?" the woman cried.
"Of course it's true. Wren replied.
"But how do you look like them!" said the woman, gesturing to the civilians in the courtyard who had been taken captive.
"My soul may be from Shenzhou, and my body is here. Wren whispered.
"Is it reincarnated? or is it a resurrection of a corpse?" the woman asked curiously.
"I think it's a resurrection of a corpseγγγγγ Wren replied helplessly.
"I can actually see people from my hometown here, please come in and sit down. The woman hurriedly welcomed Wren into the house.
