"Mr. Su Lun, the teacher said that you have fought with a giant dragon. So how can you defeat a giant dragon?"
"The first is to be able to withstand the dragon's breath and the huge power of the dragon's claws, and the second is to be able to break through the defense of the dragon scale. Both conditions are difficult. Sir Isaac's notes say that the dragon scale has almost perfect
The defensive runes, and dragon language magic are almost magical, and their power far exceeds the various spells at a higher level. Therefore, generally speaking, a seventh-level dragon, even an eighth-level professional, will have a hard time defeating it."
"oh."
"And what I encountered was just a resentful dragon, which is very different from a real dragon. According to the information from the Naga tribe, the bloodline of that lightning blue dragon is extremely pure. There is no accurate reference for its combat power before.
, it’s not a good idea to do it rashly.”
"."
Su Lun and Qian Jiao walked leisurely on the forest path, and the little follower Lolota beside them kept talking.
Becoming a dragon-slaying warrior is the common ideal of adventurers in various myths and legends.
The dragon represents the strongest creature in the world, and only the strongest warriors can defeat the dragon.
Lolotta, a young swordsman, also has a dream of hunting dragons.
Just now, they teleported into this forest.
The rest of the Dawn Group stayed on the Evernight to familiarize themselves with the conditions in the nearby waters and prepare for the possible dragon-hunting battle.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao went ashore and took the guide Tatu with them, intending to inquire about information.
Lolotta couldn't wait and came too.
Not long after the four people walked, they saw a city built on the mountain.
The architectural style is very special, with high white walls surrounding the entire city.
The buildings in the city are very dense, but not tall, with red-painted roofs, like mushroom houses.
On the top of the mountain, there is a castle with a royal blue spire.
Unlike the two empires of Lu, Ying and Marfa, there are no steam chimneys visible in this city.
The sky is blue with white clouds.
In the city there is only the curl of cooking smoke and the smell of fireworks like a blacksmith's shop.
Tatu pointed to the city and introduced: "This is the city of Atlanta. There are many dragon knights in the city, and they are not very friendly to us Nagas."
As she said that, she looked at Su Lun, as if she wanted to remind him of something: there might be trouble if he takes her into the city.
After meeting last night, Tatu realized that she still didn’t know how powerful Su Lun was in combat. Although she also knew that being able to pass through the Sea of Eternal Night must be very powerful. But in the eyes of the Naga tribe, the flying dragon knight of Atlanta City
They are also very powerful.
Before Su Lun could speak, Luo Luo took Tatu's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Su Lun and my teacher are both super powerful."
Tatu didn't say anything while listening.
She didn't exactly understand the concept of "super awesome".
Su Lun didn't explain much and smiled.
Although I don't mean to look down upon the natives of Dragon Kingdom, his current strength is indeed not easy for him to meet his opponents.
He was more curious about a word he just heard and asked: "Dragon Knight?"
Tatu said: "Yes. There are many sub-dragon monsters with thin dragon blood in this sea area. The Kingdom of Dragon has a tradition of taming dragons, and knights take it as an honor to be able to tame powerful sub-dragons. The place we are in now
In the 'Silver Dragon Kingdom', one of the three kingdoms, the royal family is protected by a very powerful sacred silver dragon."
Su Lun listened and thought about it, and became even more curious: "So, the relationship between humans and dragons here is not bad?"
"No. On the contrary, the relationship is still very bad."
Tatu shook his head and said: "The silver dragon stayed in the royal capital because of an outstanding dragon knight from the royal family of the Silver Dragon Kingdom a thousand years ago. After the dragon knight died, the sacred silver dragon continued to protect him.
It has protected this kingdom for thousands of years. Without it, this human kingdom might have been destroyed long ago.”
Giant dragons have a long lifespan, and it is normal for them to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Su Lun listened thoughtfully.
Chijou on the side also waited with great interest for what was to follow.
Tatu continued: "It is said that in the ancient Dragon Kingdom era, dragons did get along very well with humans. There were many powerful dragon knights at that time, and many legends about dragons and humans were also passed down. But from some point on
, human beings have become less powerful, and this situation has changed. It should be that after the law of plane collapse you mentioned, Mr. Su Lun, there are fewer and fewer top strong people among humans, and there are fewer and fewer knights who can tame dragons.
The less. But dragons are an arrogant race, and they are no longer willing to be used as mounts by lower creatures. They even feel that no creature can surpass the great dragons. Later, there were dragons from the evil camp."
Su Lun asked: "Evil camp?"
Tatu further explained: "Yes, this is a saying in the human kingdom. Dragons of five colors, such as red, blue, green, black, and white, are almost all hostile to humans, use humans as food, and enslave humans. But like silver dragons,
Golden dragons, gem dragons, etc., they remain neutral. They are rarely seen in the open sea. They usually inhabit the dangerous depths of the sea in the west. Only a very few, like the silver dragon that protects the country, are destined to humans.
Close to humans.”
"So that's it."
When Su Lun and the other three heard this, they immediately understood.
Tatu added: "So, the lightning blue dragon "Kazka" is also an evil dragon in the eyes of humans. It's just that the blue dragon flies very fast, and its name is that it flies as fast as lightning. And the thunder dragon
No one can evade the breath. The human kingdom has no choice but to let it exist."
After hearing this statement, Su Lun had a deeper understanding of the dragon clan in his mind.
He thought of the "Secret Techniques of Dragon Knights and Dragon Training" in his hand. One sentence translated from it was very true: "If you want to become a Dragon Knight, you must have combat power comparable to that of a giant dragon."
The four of them walked and arrived at the foot of the city.
There is a suspension bridge outside the city, which is the only road leading to the city. There are dozens of guards in silver armor at the door checking everyone entering the city one by one.
Su Lun also saw two flying dragons sleeping on their stomachs at the gate of the city.
The appearance is similar to that of a giant dragon, except that it is much smaller and the scales are not as obvious.
But any monster with a bit of dragon blood is a strong one at the same level. Usually this kind of flesh-winged lizard is a third-level black iron, but if it has some dragon blood, it may be a silver or gold-level monster.
This can be seen from the monsters passing by.
Su Lun found that everyone who entered the city was dressed in adventurer leather armor, and almost all of them had their own monster mounts, [Dragon Scale War Horse], [Titan Orangutan], [Dragon Horned Rhinoceros]... When these monsters saw the two flying dragons, they almost
Everyone should avoid it.
The natives of the Kingdom of Dragon not only tame dragons, but also tame various magical beasts. This is also quite novel in the eyes of the three outsiders Su Lun.
Tatu looked at the city gate guards, frowned and said, "Hey, that's strange, I didn't investigate before." Su Lun looked at the notice posted at the city gate and said, "It seems that someone is wanted." Nope.
People care.
After all, this happens everywhere.
Su Lun didn't intend to cause trouble by walking on the suspension bridge. He pinched the warlock's seal and a space passage appeared in front of him. He teleported directly to the city with Gan Tiao and the other three.
The residents in the city wear very primitive and simple clothes, all wearing coarse linen cloth and leather armor. The best-dressed ones are the dragon knights, but they are also very simple.
In comparison, the attire of outsiders like Su Lun and others seemed too chic.
Suellen did not have much stock of such rough clothes, so the few of them could only wear linen cloaks and walk in the city. Probably because this city is close to a dangerous area, and there are quite a few adventurers in the city.
The buildings in the city are very compact, and except for the main road leading to the castle where carriages can pass, the rest of the streets are very narrow.
The city walls, houses, and streets are all made of stones.
Because there is no properly planned urban sewer system, a stench is always wafting in residential areas.
They originally thought that Lu Ying's rural territory was backward enough, but when they looked at it again, they saw that it was in a primitive state. There was no industry here.
There are also a few vendors on the street, and the products they sell are very simple, including food, fruits, and some World of Warcraft meat.
The four of them, Su Lun, walked and watched.
Lolota looked at the pedestrians and exclaimed in a low voice: "These people are so strong!" They thought it was just the city gate soldiers and the adventurers who looked very strong. But after entering the city, they discovered that these ordinary residents were also very strong.
strong.
A fat woman who looks like an ordinary peasant woman can easily load hundreds of kilograms of goods into a car; a muscular blacksmith knocks down a dragon-scaled horse weighing several tons with his bare hands and forcibly shoes it; even if it is to build a city wall
The skinny slave can also carry hundreds of kilograms of stone and walk as fast as he can
People are generally tall and muscular.
The soil and water support the people, and Su Lun thinks this is probably directly related to the enlargement of the creatures in this sea area. Dr. Banks may be more interested in this phenomenon.
A few people walked around, and Tatu asked: "Mr. Su Lun, where are we going now?" Su Lun thought about it and said, "Let's go to the Adventurer's Tavern first."
There are many adventurers in the city, so there must be places for entertainment and recreation. It is also easy to get information in those places.
He thought that he could first ask for information about the "Petrified Curse Potion" and the blue dragon.
However, while walking, a simple-looking middle-aged couple passed by pulling a carriage full of apples.
Originally this was perfectly normal.
Su Lun looked slightly sideways, because there was actually a person hiding in the carriage. Because he was paying attention, he took another look.
The carriage headed out of the city gate. But suddenly, a group of guards riding dragon-scaled horses quickly chased after them. The guards dismounted and overturned the carriage, throwing out a blond girl with frightened eyes.
When the middle-aged couple saw what had happened, they knelt down and begged. "No, please, sir, don't take Sophia away!"
"Oh, you selfish and ignorant guys, you still want to escape? Do you know how many deaths your actions will bring to the great city lord!"
"No, please. Sophia is only sixteen."
"If you don't give a satisfactory sacrifice, it will bring disaster to our city of Atlanta! Get away!" "-"
The guards ignored the couple, dropped a bag of coins, and forcibly took the girl away. Su Lun frowned as they watched.
Lolota was even more filled with righteous indignation, and her hand was already on the handle of the knife, as if she was going to kill someone if she disagreed. Tatu even complained: "Human beings are so cruel to their own kind."
No matter how you look at it, this is a scene of a nobleman raping a young girl. But the previous conversation made Su Lun and Senjo think deeply.
After waiting for the guards to leave, the residents who were watching dared to talk one after another.
"Hey, what a pity that Clayton girl is. The evil dragon has awakened. Only by sacrificing the girl and the treasure will the evil dragon not spread its anger on our city."
"That evil dragon on Thunder Island? Hasn't it been dormant for more than ten years? Why did it suddenly wake up?"
"You don't know yet? I don't know what happened in the south yesterday. The rumble was like thunder. Didn't you see that many adventurers came to the city today? Some people speculated that some ruins and treasures might have been discovered, and those guys swarmed in.
In the next few days, there will be more and more people."
"_"
The people arrested were not their own family members. Apart from a few comments, these residents seemed not to think anything was wrong at all. This is an older feudal system than Lu Ying. The lord owns everything of the subjects.
Tatou translated the dialogue of these people.
When Su Lun and the other three heard this, they realized that they were going to be sacrificed to the blue dragon.
Su Lun murmured: "It seems like this happened because of us." Yesterday's shelling alarmed the blue dragon, and then the sacrifice was made.
It seems that this is not the first time that people in Atlanta have done this.
If you can't beat them, just sacrifice tributes. This rule applies to both humans and Warcraft.
Qiantiao on the side had a sharp look in his eyes, and his hand was casually resting on the handle of the knife. Naturally, he was not afraid of a fight.
But since it is a sacrifice, he will not die for the time being. Su Lun thought about it and did not make a decision in a hurry, saying: "Let's go, let's go and check the situation first."
A few people walked towards the tavern where adventurers gathered...
Not long after, they arrived at the Adventurer's Tavern. This was the busiest place in the city.
Even though it was broad daylight, the tavern was full of people and bustling with people.
Atlanta is a small city, and the Adventurer Tavern is the adventure union. The mercenary group will also post adventure bounties here and recruit teammates.
The four of Su Lun found a lively pub and walked straight in.
Although Tatu knows the common language of the Kingdom of Dragons, it is his first time to come to a human tavern and he is a little overwhelmed. Su Lun is familiar with the place. Although he cannot understand it, he is a qualified drinker.
He pointed to the drinks on the table next to him and threw out two silver coins. It was enough for a tip, so the bartender naturally smiled and brought the wine.
The four of them sat in the corner.
When the wine was served, Su Lun took a sip and found that it tasted surprisingly good. This wine is translated as "long barley wine" and is a specialty here. He and Qiantiao had the same capacity for wine, so he downed a large glass of it.
Lotta and Tatu drank and sipped slowly.
They were drinking and chatting.
Tatu listened carefully and translated some important information from the drinker's mouth.
The drinkers talked most about the "unusual noise" yesterday, because it is a dangerous sea area and few people dare to go there.
Most of it is speculation.
Su Lun was always observing his surroundings. But what surprised him was that the top of the tavern's bounty list was a material bounty mission.
It was a bounty from the royal family, a huge sum of money to find [Tears of Death] and [Dragon Breath Fruit].
Before he could inquire out of curiosity, the adventurers were obviously more interested in the material task for which the royal family promised "any conditions" as reward.
"Hey! Brother Tut, why is the royal family offering a reward for two kinds of materials?"
"Oh, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen was cursed with petrification by an evil witch, and she is in urgent need of materials to prepare an antidote to save her life."
"Ah witch? What witch can harm the future?" "Yes. It's the famous Helen."
"Helen? The "most beautiful woman in Parnia" that His Majesty the King snatched back from the Kingdom of Parnia? Isn't she deeply loved by His Majesty the King? How did she become a witch?"
"Isn't it? The prophet of the temple had already predicted that it was a witch who would bring disaster to the kingdom. Her
Her beauty provoked a war between the two countries, and also caused Her Majesty the Queen to bear the pain of a curse. The royal family prepared to burn her to death, but the witch did not seem to be afraid of fire. Instead of dying after being burned, she escaped. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
"
"Oh! No wonder there was a wanted order at the city gate. I was also wondering why a beautiful woman was wanted. It turned out to be that person."
Speaking of beautiful women, we were immediately interested in taking risks. Tatou translated those people's words.
Su Lun listened, not interested in any witch. He just didn't expect that by such a coincidence, this material seemed to be the formula for the "petrification antidote"?
But it's not surprising.
The original plan was to visit the city of Atlanta. If that didn't work, we would go directly to the royal capital. In the society of lords, the royal family owns everything.
If there really is an antidote to the petrification curse, it is certainly in the hands of those in power. Tatu was also very excited, having just arrived and got the information he wanted.
But she immediately frowned and wondered: "If it is these two materials, it will be very troublesome." Even the royal family is looking for it, so it is naturally a rare material.
Su Lun listened to the question and asked casually: "What two kinds of materials are these?" Alchemists know all kinds of materials.
But due to cultural differences, sometimes the names are different.
There were mountains of material warehouses in the small void world, and he thought he might have it.
Tatu thought for a while and said: "[Tears of Death] are the tears of lord-level undead. But undead monsters of that level usually don't shed tears. Once they shed tears, they are the purest energy in the world. This is
Very, very rare material.”
"Tears of the Dead?"
When Su Lun heard this description, he thought about it for a moment. Then he coincidentally discovered that he really seemed to have one!
He once obtained a material [Alice's Tears] from the cursed space of [White Monastery] in the Dawn Ruins. Isn't it the tears of Lord-level undead?
However, before seeing the detailed formula, he also made sure whether the material properties were the same. Without further explanation, Su Lun asked again: "What about [Dragon Breath Fruit]?"
Tatu added: "It is a kind of fruit that can only exist in the dragon's lair. That kind of fruit grows where the dragon sleeps and will take at least a hundred years to mature. It is said that the purer the dragon's bloodline, the more effective the dragon's breath fruit will be.
good."
"oh."
When Su Lun heard this, some thoughts flashed through his mind.
To be able to solve the petrification curse on the level of the Gorgon, the materials must be unusual, so it is natural that these two things should be used.
It's really hard to find.
No wonder the royal family would put a reward on it.
As they talked, the drinkers started talking about [Dragon Breath Fruit] again.
"Hey, tell me, this time the royal family has placed an unlimited reward, will that "dragon hunter" come to Atlanta?"
"Who knows. Anyway, I heard that the Royal Dragon Knight Legion will come over. After all, the evil dragon on Thunder Sea Island is a pure-blooded blue dragon. There is a high probability of high-grade [Dragon Breath Fruit] in its lair."
"Hey, even if there is one, it's possible to get it! Even if you ride a flying dragon, you can't escape the pursuit of the blue dragon. It's as fast as lightning. Even if it goes to sea, it can return to its lair in an instant. No one can get it."
"If "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo Figaro comes, he may be able to kill this evil dragon. Unfortunately, that guy is elusive and always does things as he pleases. He can't be hired at any price."
"."
Tatou translated these conversations.
The village was destroyed and injured by the knights. The adventurers talked about some of the dragon's past.
Su Lun also had a rough idea of the blue dragon's level in his mind. He estimated that there was a high probability that it was a seventh-level giant dragon, and its combat power was at the peak of an eighth-level professional, almost ninth level?
Because it has lightning properties, it's even trickier.
In this way, there is a lot to be done.
He can do things that others cannot do!
Su Lun thought again, if the evil dragon left the cave, wouldn't he be able to go for a walk?
So why is [Dragon Breath Fruit] not readily available?
Moreover, you can even lead the blue dragon to Rainbow Island and inflict heavy damage on those mages?
With the experience of hunting dragons in the cursed space of [Dwarf King's Resentment], Su Lun felt that this plan was completely feasible.
However, dragons in reality are smart and cunning, so this matter needs to be considered carefully.
When Su Lun thought of this, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
