Volume 3 The Dragon Language and the Song of the Wind Chapter 134 The Dragon Language
"It's another sunny day, no one writes today, right?" Thundering Zachary bathed in the warm sunshine and exercised his injured right arm. Grell Margaret was beside him.
Ghor wasn't very tall. If you compare Hans, the owner of the inn, with him, he is a short man standing in front of Hans, who is as tall as Hans's shoulders, without a beard, and a decent countryman. However, he understands a lot of things. That's why he led the believers of the Nightfall Church to help attack Mochizuki Castle. If you compare him to Zachary, it's a bit nerve-wracking. Although he is about the same height as Zachary, his deeds and prestige are far from it.
So, Ghor didn't intend to greet Zachary in the first place. It's just that he had to do it, and Glori and the others were busy!
"I said, today is the 26th. Friend, you look great. Gul smiled. He handed a piece of cotton cloth to Zachary who was drenched in sweat.
"Ever since that day passed, I've often thought of those Loyalty Trees," Zachary wiped his sweat and his eyes were hazy, "they're the Loyalty Trees in the hunting forest northwest of Mochizuki City. β
"What are you thinking? It's just beginning here, and your allegiance should be to Lord Evon. He needs your help. I mean...... He needs you to help him rebuild his home. β
Faced with a decadent Zachary, Ghall tried to persuade. It had nothing to do with Gul, but the Plains of Mochizuki really needed someone as loyal as Zachary, and someone had to face the sucks of it all - the end of one thing meant the beginning of another.
"Thank you. What about our friends?" Zachary dissipated. He knew that Moon's private hope was those friends, and he hoped that they would stay, but it was impossible.
"They, where you say. Gehr explained.
If you look from the ruined walls, follow the line of sight of Zachary and Ghall, and look at the woods to the northwest of the city. Glori is doing sword swinging practice.
Just then, Leo threw the sac at Glori. "Then, it was a drink from the lord of the city, Evan . He's always unpleasant, and he looks like he's underwhelmed. However, I'm quite good at seeing things. He said with satisfaction.
"Hahu! My fine wine, barbecue meat can't be foiled without wine. Dylan jumped and snatched the bag that was spinning in mid-air.
"What do you want to do?"
Iris holding Dylan's roast. Such a large piece of barbecue meat, or an elbow, should be cut with a knife first, and then put spices? Then, with her eyes narrow, she sat down on a pile of dry branches, waiting for what was going to happen. She thought Dylan and Glori were going to go around the woods a few times because of the wine. However, she was disappointed.
"Hey, I said. Brother, you really don't understand people. Leo looked at Dylan, who was in a happy mood, and reproached. And Glori didn't care about any alcohol at all, and kept correcting his sword-wielding posture.
"Leo, I've quit drinking, don't worry. β
Glori continued to practice. He struggled to quit drinking, but he still drank occasionally. At times, wine can soothe the soul, but it is not a long-term solution, he knows it well. Yes, he always examines himself. He knows that only by strengthening his beliefs is the only way to get out, and it is also the premise that he will never stop. Also, he's been yelling at himself lately, like "Yvette, I'm really quit drinking" or something like that.
In fact, Glori knew exactly what he had seen. Sometimes, Glori struggles and asks himself if the figure that appears is a real hallucination. Then, he tried to avoid the answer and interrupt his thinking. At this moment, he didn't have the heart to stop Dylan tossing around. Wine, let Dylan take it!
Finding that Glori in front of him was focused on the sword, Dylan and Iris gradually fell silent. However, Leo didn't want to be in a daze.
"Where's Zoe...... It's the beauty with a very unique and fiery temper. Leo asked.
"Are you looking for her? she's with Gen Xavier. They are still deciphering the last dragon language of the covenant. "Susan was in the thick tree behind Glori. She stood up and replied with a smile.
"Ah, no. You are mistaken. I just see that you have one less partner. Leo explained. He's worried.
"Wait, friend. We're all fine. Will appeared from behind Leo and patted Leo on the shoulder.
"I know, we're all fine. But you'd better not go too far, for north through the woods and across the river is the territory of the Emerald City, which is not a good place. I'm just reminding you of the orderly. Leo explained.
"We'll be careful, there's no real safe place under the rule of the Order King. Glori remembered the fortifications of Coral Harbor, which were in shambles, and the walls to the east of Mochizuki Castle were in ruins. Then he asked: "How is it that you are overseeing the construction of the fortifications?"
"That's Evan himself, and I don't want to see him dangling in front of my eyes all the time. Leo explained.
At this time, Evan's voice came from not far away.
"In the Age of the Gods, the gods of order and the dragon gods competed for the dominion of the world. At that time, the ancient gods under the command of the dragon god were wise, strong, and possessed powerful magical powers, while the human race had not yet risen and was ravaged by the god of order, and the word cowardice was synonymous. The dragon god is the god of light, bringing the light of life to the natural world, while the god of order represents death, the never-ending dark fall. At that time, we lost Mochizuki Castle and relied on the dragon god to win. Now, we've recaptured the Plains of Mochizuki from Kyle, the King of Order, and we've regained it once again. Thank you, friends, for your help, you deserve praise. But what does that wine taste like?"
Hearing the tirade, Dylan's eyes almost widened. Then, he looked at Glori in front of him.
"Well, I guess that should be sweet. Glori put away his sword and said to Evan as he walked over.
"Hah...... Man, you've got to give him a drink, or he'll never know what it tastes like. "Dylan was happy, it felt like he was when he was a kid and Glori was fighting for fruit. Laughing, he tossed the empty sac to Evan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my mentor Xavier is looking for you. There are new clues about the Covenant. Evan took the sac.
"Dylan, let's take a look. Glori said happily.
Walk through the Hunting Forest and enter the north gate of Mochizuki Castle. The collapsed house on the way is still under construction. In the streets are several Mochizuki knights distributing food, as well as missionaries from the Night Church who heal people's wounds and diseases. On the way, Susan bought a small packet of shelled nuts from a stall, as well as a small bag of cane sugar. She took out a nut and showed it to Irris.
"What is this? Demon Rose? How can there be a product of the Death Desert here? Iris asked.
"This thing is the goods brought by Gur, and he bought it from the traveling merchant. I heard that the Kano clan was going to come out of the Red Valley, and I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw these things suddenly appear on the market, I confirmed this information. Evan explained.
"This is good news. β
Glori's mood is getting better and better. He forgot all about those injuries and walked faster and faster. As he and his friends passed through the corridors of the Lord's Hall, they came to a courtyard. 59 Books
"This is Xavier's room. I hope you will be careful when you go in, and don't come across piles of books, which are very unstable. β
After Evan finished speaking, he turned around, intending to leave. He was referring to the balcony with a pot of lilies, where a ray of sunlight shone and the stacks of books could be seen through the curtains.
"Xavier used his sleeping place as a book room, and those books were enough for me to read for the rest of my life. Ivan, see you later. Glori said with a frown. Then, he approached the wooden door downstairs and knocked softly.
"Who is it?"
It was Zoe's voice coming from upstairs, and she cleared her throat. In addition, there was the sound of irregular stairs.
"She doesn't speak, I know it's her. She went down the stairs several steps together. Once, she almost pulled me down the stairs. Iris happily accosted. She admires Zoe's character, but knows that now is not the time to say this.
"You should drink more water. Iris saw the door open and said to Zoe.
"If it's Susan's lily soup, it's even better. Zoe said with a smile.
"It's not the time to say hello and we're good company. Alright, Zoe, let's go see what you find. Glori urged.
When I entered the house, I couldn't find a place to stay, it was full of books. What was he doing, though, because he knew what Xavier had been up to, and was anxious for Xavier's reply. He simply put his hand in his hand and arranged the stacked books on the ground to the sides.
"Friends, here you are. Come and see, this line of sparkling text. I almost forgot, I need to explain it to you. Xavier muttered. He opened an ancient book and read the words on it. The Golden Covenant rests on his left.
"What kind of book is this?" asked Glori. He stared at the book, which was full of graphic text, and he couldn't read it.
"Well, a book recorded in the ancient language of Ebel. This is Age of the Gods, and the one to its right is The Coming of the Dragon God. Zoe explained.
"There is no answer you want in these books, I just want you to look at the records in these two books. The book clearly records the last moments of the dragon god Abel, who sealed himself in the miracle where the golden light shone at that time. His final battle with the God of Order was in Noah's Jungle. However, the exact location is unknown. Xavier said, spreading his hands.
"So, what about the dragon language on the Covenant? shouldn't it have a specific location?" asked Glori, frowning.
"I've translated them. But I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. The last dragon word on the Covenant only tells you that the Golden Covenant is the key to the miracle, not the place that the Divine Scholars say, which is why I tell you what is recorded in those two books. You need to find the miracle in Noah's Jungle and use this covenant called the Key to open it. Xavier said with a sigh.
"There's still a long way to go...... That's what Master Mage's meant. However, we are never afraid of the long journey. Susan walked in and said.
"Perhaps, the Revival Corps will help you. Now, they're with the main force of Shennuo. I think you should go to the Red Valley and find Commander Auraya. If you are in time, you may be able to catch up with their plan to retake the Misty Swamp. I guess the next target for the Legion would be the City of Miracles. The City of Miracles is located on the east side of Noah's Jungle. Whether it's the swamp or the Noah's jungle, they're still under the rule of the Order. Get the commander for help, you should try ......"
With that, Xavier pulled the curtain back. Outside the window, a one-horned crow was turning to ashes in Xavier's golden magical light, and its horn fell into the courtyard.
"That's the servant of the Order Clan!" Elrith felt the fluctuation of its magic the moment she saw the one-horned crow, and she couldn't help but cry out in panic.
"We should get rid of those watchers, but where did this crow come from?"
Glori couldn't figure it out. He has always been cautious, and under the rule of the Demon Dragon Empire, he has been able to survive until now for this reason. At this moment, the threat from outside the window made Glori feel that something more dangerous was about to happen.
"It's 'Black Crow'. β
Pod muttered to herself in the courtyard. Aina poked the ashes that had fallen on the ground with the twigs, and the horn that couldn't burn.
"Leave the crow alone. Let's talk about the present first. Xavier said calmly. He wrapped the two remaining precious ancient books in cowhide, sealed them with wax, and put them in a camphor wood box, and attached a magic light curtain to the outside of the box.
Suddenly, the Golden Covenant appeared with a clear line of light.
"Wait! What is this? Miss Zoe? Miss Elles? What did you just do? Thisβthis is not the scene when I wrote to the Legion Commander before, I can't say a word, I can say a word...... The covenant is very important......" Xavier was so surprised that he used a lame metaphor.
"I just put a little bit of wax on it to prevent wear and tear. However, I don't know if that's right...... I'm sorry I didn't have your permission. Iris frowned, looking very apologetic.
"I was worried that she would break the covenant, so I used the magic flame to illuminate the words I had just read, but there was an extra line underneath. Zoe looked at the serious Xavier and hurriedly replied.
"If you find me, you will find the strength to defeat the Order. Divine Knight Owen Ramirez respectfully!" Xavier stumbled as he read the dragon language, then tears welled up in his eyes with joy.
"Owen Ramirez!" shouted the crowd.
However, joy is always short-lived. When night falls, people sing and drink to their heart's content, not only to celebrate the recapture of Mochizuki Castle, but also to send blessings to the brave who are about to embark on their journey.
"It's a relic of the Juggernaut, and I think it's time to leave it here. It belongs here, because the Juggernaut paid with his life to eradicate the curse of the plains, and I think this sword can protect this place in his place. Until now, the magic of the Sword Master still exists on this sword, and this must be his last wish. Glori led a group of strong horses and handed the sword to Erin. And his buddies were behind him.
"I'll give it to Brother Evan, I think he'll be happy that he'll hang this sword high in the Lord's Hall. Moreover, this sword will give the people here endless courage. We will miss you. Erin, though she said gently, almost burst into tears of gratitude. She stepped forward and hugged her friends one by one.
"Goodbye, warriors. "The current head of the Knights of the Night Church, Canther, wore a white cloak with the mark of the full moon and sent his blessing.
β...... Maybe...... The Church's Brain ......"
Glori rode his horse hopefully. However, there was still lingering fear in his heart, because he, like Elrith, was unaware of the existence of the one-horned crow.
