The news that the evil dragon Kazka, who had been entrenched on Thunder Island for hundreds of years, was killed soon spread to the city of Atlanta.
The residents of the city cheered that this serious problem was finally solved.
However, no one knew that a mysterious man in a cloak had already taken advantage of the crowd to blend into the city lord's castle.
Not long after, in the basement of the city lord's mansion.
The city lord Balder and his beloved wife and family were originally hiding in the basement, still waiting for news that the evil dragon had eaten the sacrifice and left.
However, instead of waiting for good news, came bad news.
At this moment, there are only a dozen humanoid stone sculptures with frightened faces in the basement.
Only Balder is still alive.
At this moment, part of the city lord's body has turned into a demonic form, which is the hidden power brought by his worship of the evil god.
It was only by relying on the power of the evil god that they could stand firm in Atlanta for hundreds of years.
But even so, in front of this mysterious cloaked man, Balder still had no power to resist. He could only kneel down and beg for mercy with a look of horror on his face: "My lord, my Rodriguez family does have a royal secret box passed down. But.
Because the treasure house was stolen and set on fire the night before, I don’t know who stole it.”
When the cloaked man heard this, a gray light suddenly burst out from his eyes covered by the cloak.
Balder still wanted to escape, but his body had turned into a gray-white petrified state visibly..-
on the other hand.
Su Lun was invited and followed the flying dragon knights of the Miracle Legion on their journey to Eklensa, the royal capital of the Silver Dragon Kingdom.
The flying dragon could not carry many people, so it was just him and Gan Tiao. The rest of the Liming Group continued to take the boat and headed north along the coastline. Su Lun felt a little strange riding on the flying dragon for the first time.
But after riding for a while, I lost much interest.
Yalongs and pure-blood dragons look very similar in appearance, but their strength is very different. They are like poodles and lions. They can almost be said to be two species.
Probably because he had only fought a giant dragon before, the difference in comparison was very obvious. However, he was a dragonborn after all, and these flying dragons were much more powerful than ordinary monsters of the same level.
Su Lun thought that he would have the opportunity to get some samples for the war workshop in the small void world to see if he could produce some mechanical flying dragons that could meet special combat needs.
The burst speed of the Yaron is quite fast, but its long-distance flight is average. Most of the time, it is gliding on the air current, and it has to rest and eat many times in the middle. It usually does not fly at night to rush, and its daily travel is only two to three thousand.
Kilometers.
It's not very stable yet.
Anyway, when riding, apart from looking handsome, there is no comfort at all. The regiment commander Bennett said that it would take two full days to fly to the king.
Su Lun also patiently meditated on the dragon's back.
Because it was already afternoon when we set off, it got dark not long after flying. A group of flying dragon knights landed in a forest.
The dragon knights set up camp and lit a bonfire in the camp.
After getting along with each other for half a day, Su Lun realized that it was quite troublesome to tame these flying dragons. It was difficult to satisfy the consumption of the flying dragon army by hunting alone. At least these knights needed to carry a lot of meat with them. People can be hungry, but they cannot let these flying dragon monsters starve.
With.
Beside the bonfire, although the march was simple, Su Lun and the two were also warmly received.
The knights hunted some magical beasts unique to the Kingdom of Dragon in the forest and roasted them on the bonfire. It didn't take long for the aroma to fill the air.
Su Lun and Gan Tiao got the best part.
They also felt that it was quite pleasant to get along with Bennett, the commander of the regiment.
Talkative, brave, and extraordinary in temperament...strong people always have something in common, and Bennett left a good impression on the two of them.
Since Su Lun has stripped away the common language of the Dragon Kingdom, communication is no problem.
After dinner, with nothing to do, Bennett and several of his senior generals and subordinates also asked about legendary overseas civilizations with great interest.
"Captain Su Lun, what kind of country do you come from? I think you and your friends are very special. It seems that you are not practicing fighting spirit."
"We are alchemists, from the human empire in the west. Well, we are roughly the same as your wizards. Like
Study everything in nature. But we have no belief in gods. We are an adventure group, and we came here mainly to have adventures in the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons."
"The ruins of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons? Oh, it's very dangerous over there. As far as I know, there are a lot of super monsters there."
"Captain Bennett, your information has really helped us a lot! I mean, it would be better if we had a chart."
"Of course, there are some charts left by adventurers in the library of the royal capital. If you need them, I can give you some."
"I saw that some of your crew members have metal limbs. Oh my God, it was magical that day. How can metal arms grow in flesh?"
"That's a mechanical prosthesis, and it's also a branch of alchemy..."
"The ancestors have always said that the Sea of Eternal Night is extremely dangerous. How did you get here? Oh, my grandfather was an explorer. He once wanted to cross that dangerous sea, but he disappeared in the end."
"-"
After chatting and becoming less acrimonious, the content of the conversation between the two parties became broader.
Although Su Lun knew that these royal knights were also seeking information, there was nothing to hide.
Through chatting, he also got to know some secrets that only senior officers knew, such as some legends about the eighth-level silver dragon protecting the country on the snowy mountain of the royal capital, and some legends about the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons.
However, Su Lun felt that the most important thing was the plane invasion.
Let this information be known to the top leaders of the three kingdoms of the Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible, which will also be more beneficial to preventing the actions of those mages from the plane of gods.
Hearing Su Lun's words, Legion Commander Bennett was also shocked: "Plane invasion? Like the hell volcano invasion?"
"Um."
Su Lun nodded and briefly explained what he knew.
He had known from the Naga tribe before that there was a volcano connected to hell in the center of the ruins of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons in the east, and from time to time hell creatures came out to harm humans.
Therefore, these dragon knights could quickly understand the concept of plane invasion. When Su Lun elaborated, these knights immediately felt the crisis.
Although I didn't completely believe what he said, at least the information was given to me, and I had some intelligence preparations in the future.
The reason why I say so much is because Su Lun guessed that if those guys from the plane of gods knew that there was a human kingdom in this sea area, they would definitely pay attention to it.
After all, their ship was blown up by the Dawn Regiment before, so even if more people teleported over, they would only be trapped on Rainbow Island.
If you want to change the status quo, you will definitely need some ships.
If you can enslave the three kingdoms, you will have a firm foothold in treasure hunting in this sea area.
Su Lun even vaguely felt that those magicians might have discovered the existence of the three kingdoms and tried to infiltrate them.
When the topic of chat mentioned plane invasion, the atmosphere became more solemn.
When it was almost midnight, Bennett didn't bother anymore and arranged for Su Lun and Su Lun to rest in the best tent.
Unconsciously, the night was already deep.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao were meditating and resting in the tent.
There were hundreds of flying dragons in the camp, and no monsters dared to come near the forest, so it was very quiet.
But around one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Lun suddenly heard a noise, and there were some more people in the camp. He didn't open his eyes, and muttered in his heart: "Hey, it turned out that a prisoner was brought back?"
During the flight in the afternoon, he saw the falcon flying for communication. It seemed that the Miracle Legion had received some secret mission, and some people were sent to other places.
The group of people who just came back were the ones who left in the afternoon. Su Lun could easily distinguish them using his soul perception.
Moreover, when they came back, they brought a prison van covered with black cloth? It seemed that the Miracle Corps wanted to take this "prisoner" to the capital with them.
There was obviously a human being in the prison car, but the slight fluctuations in his soul made Su Lun feel a little abnormal: "It's strange, what kind of existence is in this prison car?"
Su Lun was curious and paid more attention.
It's not that it's strong. It's a bit cold, and it doesn't seem like a pure human soul. Outside the tent, a black crow
He was staring at everything in the camp.
Sharing the vision, Su Lun also saw this scene clearly.
The strange thing is that the prison car was placed in the center of the camp, and the knights guarded it tightly, but no one lifted the black cloth to see what it was.
Probably some kind of secret prisoner.
But after all, it had nothing to do with him, and Su Lun had no intention of prying more.
After observing for a while and finding nothing unusual, Su Lun put aside his curiosity and continued to meditate. Unexpectedly, the night was already deep.
Suddenly, Qian Jiao also opened his eyes, frowned and said, "I feel like something is not right tonight." Su Lun also opened his eyes when he heard this.
He held the black umbrella and felt it carefully, but he didn't feel anything.
Everything was normal in the camp, the knights took turns to rest, the flying dragon was quiet, and the prisoner in the cage did not move at all.
After looking at the dozing black crow, the old man didn't say anything. There was nothing unusual about it.
But Su Lun didn't dare to be careless.
Senjo is a pure combat professional, and her ability to perceive crises is extraordinary. The two of them looked at each other, neither confirming what the something wrong pointed to.
Being targeted?
Some kind of occult magic points to them? Like divination?
A series of conjectures flashed through Su Lun's mind.
The two of them are now considered to be the handful of professionals at the top of the pyramid. If an enemy wants to do divination, it is almost impossible. But if it does happen, it will definitely be very troublesome.
Maybe the magicians in the plane of gods have made some big move? Su Lun and the two thought, and they were already more alert.
However, not long after Senjo felt that way, she suddenly said urgently: "Here we come!" Without any warning, a sad and choking dragon roar suddenly sounded in the forest.
"Ang~"
It was the sub-dragon sentry deployed by the Miracle Legion on the periphery. It was like the cry of the moment when it was attacked and killed by some monster. Almost at the same time, everyone in the camp reacted instantly, and the sentry shouted: "Enemy attack!"
In an instant, the huge camp started to move.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao also walked out of the tent, and happened to see Legion Commander Bennett walking over with an apologetic look on his face, explaining: "I'm sorry to disturb the rest of the two distinguished guests. It looks like a tide of beasts. It's in the no-man's land."
When camping in the forest, we often encounter them."
As he spoke, he put on his helmet and prepared to fight, and added: "You two just continue to rest. Don't worry too much, we will take care of it."
Su Lun nodded as he listened, saying there was nothing to remind him.
These professional knights have sufficient combat experience, and there is no need for them to say anything if they are in danger.
Bennett didn't say much, and quickly went to his flying dragon, turned over and rode on the dragon's back, and instantly jumped into the air.-.··
There were one or two thousand flying dragon knights in the camp, and some of them had already vacated. Their fighting power should not be underestimated. Su Lun and the others had no intention of participating in the battle, so they just watched the battle beside the tent.
The battle was very fierce, and increasingly exaggerated fighting sounds came from the forest. Gradually, they also discovered that this was no ordinary beast tide.
Qianziao put his hands on the sword at his waist, released his energy, and keenly captured the fighting movements, and murmured: "The situation is not good."
Su Lun also nodded, frowning and lost in thought.
Suddenly, he looked at the prison car wrapped in black cloth not far away. "Are you here for the prisoner?"
This idea came to Su Lun's mind.
After all, ordinary prison cars don't need to be escorted by the kingdom's elite legions. And what a coincidence, as soon as they were delivered, they encountered a wave of beasts.
Su Lun felt that he and Qian Jiao might have been implicated. If he could help, he wouldn't mind helping.
However, the strength of the flying dragon army is not weak. If it really needs the help of guests, the enemy may be ridiculously strong. Su Lun still feels that it is best not to take action.
However, things backfired.
At this moment, something strange happened!
Suddenly, a strange gray light illuminated a corner of the sky in the distance. The dozens of flying dragons still flapping their wings in the sky became stiff in an instant, and both the people and the dragon turned into stone grey.
Falling from a height of 100 meters, the sound of cracking gravel echoed through the entire camp.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao both had excellent night vision. They saw this bizarre scene clearly, and their pupils shrank suddenly.
Because they didn't understand what was going on with that gray light. It actually killed a dozen fifth-level flying dragons in an instant?
In the camp, some people shouted loudly: "It's the Gorgon! Everyone, please don't look into its eyes!" Su Lun was also surprised when he heard this.
Actually met the legendary Gorgon? Without hesitation, both of them closed their eyes.
It is said that they will be turned to stone if they look at them. They are so powerful.
The stone sculpture of Tani's mother is now in the Little Void Realm. There is no solution to that kind of magical level petrification. Su Lun doesn't think he has any means to stop it.
After this sudden change, the flying dragon army, which had been so fierce just now, was immediately on the verge of defeat, and the "sound of gravel" in their ears became more and more intensive.
The sound of the battle was getting closer and closer, and Su Lun immediately realized that what was coming might be a very high-ranking gorgon!
"Come for the camp?"
Su Lun is a little strange. Gorgons are of demigod blood, and are top creatures in myths and legends like dragons.
How come you have nothing to do to attack some human camp?
In an instant, some clues in his mind suddenly connected. Who was in the prison car at the camp?
Why did the queen of the Silver Dragon Kingdom fall under the petrification curse of the Gorgon? Who is the wanted "Helen"?
Su Lun felt that this matter seemed to involve some kind of big secret, and he was already prepared to teleport at all times.
A suspected rank gorgon was not that easy to deal with. He didn't want to take risks until he was unsure. However, they were not the only ones who wanted to give up.
As soon as the Gorgon appeared, it caused huge casualties to the Flying Dragon Legion in the blink of an eye. They had no effective means to deal with it.
At this moment, a knight in armor hurried over with his eyes closed and said very fast: "Two distinguished guests, the captain asked me to inform you to prepare to evacuate!"
Su Lun remembered that this was Bennett's lieutenant, and nodded politely, "Yes."
Although he didn't need help from anyone else if he wanted to leave, at the critical moment Bennett still thought of taking care of the guests and evacuating first, which was considered kind.
For a time, the entire camp's flying dragon riders were divided into three parts. Legion Commander Bennett led a group of people to fight on the front line, some people were transporting the prison van, and another group of people planned to lead Su Lun and others to escape.
But before they could ride on the flying dragon, something unexpected happened again.
As if Senjo sensed something, his expression suddenly became serious: "Such a strong sword energy!"
A moment later, Su Lun also sensed the sudden arrival of the extremely cold sword energy, and shouted in his heart: "The "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo Figaro, is this here?"
At this moment, a bone-chilling and domineering sword energy suddenly exploded in the forest.
The surrounding air suddenly cooled down. Su Lun shared the view through the black crows and saw flakes of snow falling. This sword energy quietly slashed out from a few hundred meters away, instantly turning the tide of the battle!
The flying dragon knight army, which had been retreating steadily before and used their lives to block the monsters, instantly became inspired. Everyone knew that reinforcements were coming!
As a sword master, Senjo didn't sense the depth of this sword spirit. His expression was extremely fierce and he sighed with emotion: "This sword has surpassed the holy realm. Someone has really touched the legendary "Sword God Realm"."
Sword God?
Su Lun was also slightly shocked.
Perception, "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo seemed to kill the Gorgon with one sword, and the monsters besieging the camp in the forest dispersed in an instant.
He opened his eyes and saw an old man in the distance putting the handle of a long single-edged sword into a bamboo scabbard.
Su Lun identified the famous white-edged sword and sighed in his heart: "The second most famous sword among the "Twelve Great Swordsmen" [Kogiri Frost Flower Whisper]. It is really the great swordsman of the Shinto Mu-Nen style.
"Sword Demon" Yasaburo Saito."
This man's bounty is still hanging in the Camping Bounty Guild.
And his sword is also the famous [Kogiri Frost Flower Whisper], ranking one higher than the demon sword [Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa] in Senjou's hand.
Because "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo suddenly appeared, the situation immediately reversed.
Seeing him kill the Gorgon with one sword, Su Lun also sighed: "What a strong strength."
If that "Sword Demon" is really the one he guessed, he was already at the peak of the seventh level when he was offered a bounty. Now it seems that he has already passed the eighth level.
Moreover, the sword strike just now was said by Qianjou to be beyond the holy realm. Obviously, Bartolo's current level of swordsmanship is already unknown.
Not long after, Bartolo put the head in a cloth bag, and then the dragon knights in the camp dared to approach the fighting area to clean up the battlefield.
Su Lun also walked over and looked curiously at the legendary Gorgon. It was a headless corpse with a body and a snake tail.
Hot blood was still gushing from the broken neck. What was strange was that the blood was black on the left side and red on the right side.
After appraisal, the left side is extremely poisonous, and the right side is a good medicine that can cure many diseases. Su Lun also lamented how special these mythical artifacts are, and they are full of treasures.
The leader of the group, Bennett, was also very concerned about the matter and even took the initiative to give him a bottle of blood. He said politely that it almost caused them to be in danger.
Su Lun didn't feel any involvement, after all, there was no danger to them from beginning to end. Now, the [Gorgon's Blood] that was missing in the petrification antidote was available.
He looked at Bartolo and said hello: "Senior, we meet again." Bartolo nodded slightly, probably knowing that he had been recognized. Now that they had met again, Su Lun was not in a hurry to get close.
At this time, Legion Commander Bennett came over with a grateful look on his face and said: "Senior Bartolo, thanks to you this time, otherwise tonight would have been terrible. Why are you here?"
Bartolo responded: "I found traces of the Gorgon in the city of Atlanta before. I followed it all the way, and I happened to see it driving away the monsters and besieging you."
Hearing this, Bennett was surprised and said: "Is this Gorgon from Atlanta?"
Bartolo nodded and said: "Yes. It killed sixteen members of the family of Bard, the lord of Atlanta, and left some traces, so I chased after them."
Bennett looked puzzled and asked: "Ah? Why did the Gorgon kill the city lord Balder?" Bartolo shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Maybe. It has something to do with the guy in your prison car.
.”-.·
Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Lun's expression was the same, but his heart was getting weirder and weirder.
He had previously thought that he was implicated by people from the Miracle Legion, but after hearing Bartolo's words, a thought immediately came to his mind: You're not here for me, are you?
Then the Gorgon killed the city lord Balder? Why?
Su Lun suddenly made a bold guess.
Because the day before yesterday, he stole a snake-haired scepter from the treasure house of the city lord Balder.
What a coincidence, this Gorgon is here?
Are you here for the scepter?
If it is true, how did it know that it was here? What is the relationship between this Gorgon and the people in the prison car?
For a moment, Su Lun felt as if he was quietly involved in a huge event.
