"I don't know. Could it be that a certain village didn't pay enough winter tribute?"
"But it won't be such a big formation."
Udon City.
The queue of dragon servants from various villages that were originally crowded at the city gate was temporarily interrupted.
Immediately, in front of everyone, they saw the guards of Udon City riding horses, wearing armor, and holding knives, forming a torrent and sweeping towards the white wilderness outside the city.
Those with sharp eyes can see a few discordant dragon servants sitting on several horses in this team.
They were wearing inferior clothes, looked frightened and nervous, and were surrounded by high-level dragon servants, including a young man among them.
No one knows where they went or why.
It was only after this group of people left that a piece of specious news gradually came out.
It is said that the order jointly issued by the "three chiefs" of Dragon City two days ago has finally come to fruition.
…
…
Udon City is too far from the village. The key is the lack of roads for horses to run on.
The rugged mountain road greatly delayed the journey, and the thickest snow almost submerged the horse's legs.
Cheng Lin, who was far away in the village, naturally didn't know what was going on here.
In other words, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
I spent most of the morning telling another story about cultivating immortality.
When the sun rose to high in the sky, Cheng Lin shut his mouth, and the villagers got up and left in a wise manner, not daring to disturb his practice again.
After meditating for several days as usual, Cheng Lin got up, left the sweet potatoes to look after the house, and walked out of the small courtyard.
He said hello to the nearby villagers and said he was going to practice magic in the forest, and then walked into the vast snow forest alone.
This is not a lie.
Meditating all the time is extremely boring, and practicing the control of supernatural powers is also an important part of his daily practice.
Although there is no harm in practicing in a small courtyard, it will inevitably attract the attention of the villagers. Cheng Lin still likes to practice alone, so he hid in the forest.
…
Naturally, the villagers had no objections and just went about their business as usual.
It wasn't until the sun gradually set in the west that a burst of shouting from far to near finally broke the tranquility of the mountain village.
"Oh my God, what is that?"
"Is Sang and the others back?"
"No, something's wrong, the number of people is obviously wrong, and that seems to be the Dragon Lord's flag!"
The villagers busy in the yard soon discovered a group of black spots in the distance, which were extremely eye-catching in the snow-covered wilderness.
As they got closer, the villagers walked out of their homes one after another. Headed by the village chief, they gathered at the entrance of the village and looked ahead nervously.
That is indeed the flag of Dragonlord Graald.
Under the flag are the guards in Udon City, composed of high-level dragon servants.
"What happened? Did something go wrong in Dong Gong?"
Everyone looked at each other, nervous.
It wasn't until the cavalry team finally arrived at the entrance of the village, and Sang and the other villagers were thrown off their horses, that the anxious villagers finally understood the other party's intention:
"The one in the portrait is in your village?"
The leader of the high-level dragon servant was riding on his mount, looking down at everyone, unfolding the portrait from his arms, and asked in a cold tone.
He didn't seem to know how to call Cheng Lin.
Facing these guards, most of the villagers were too frightened to speak. Only the village chief remained calm and nodded cautiously:
"Dear Sir, if... I read it correctly, the 'human' in this portrait does live in our village temporarily. He is an explorer from other continents."
"Human?"
The senior dragon servant chewed on this unfamiliar word and then asked:
"Where is he? Take us to see him immediately. We have delayed the important matter of the three chief dragon kings. You can take good care of it!"
Three chiefs?
Hearing this, the villagers all showed frightened expressions. They naturally knew the meaning of the chief. They were the three most powerful dragon kings in the entire dragon kingdom, and they were no different from the emperors of the human world.
These people are actually looking for Mr. Ezreal about the Dragon King?
Could it be that the Dragon King also wanted to meet this explorer from a foreign continent?
The village chief was extremely shocked and hurriedly led the group of guards and the entire village to Lai's courtyard.
Immediately, I got the news from my neighbor that Cheng Lin had gone to practice in the forest.
However, these guards obviously did not understand the meaning of "cultivation". Facing the frightened villagers, their eyes became colder and colder.
Only considering that this matter involved the Dragon King, I held back and did not have an attack. I just said sternly:
"Lord Longjue will also arrive later. If you dare to deceive, you must be well aware of the consequences of angering Lord Longjue!"
What? Long Jue is coming too?
This news is tantamount to a bomb that detonates the peaceful mountain village.
If the concept of "Three Chiefs" is too far away, then Dragon Lord Gerald is obviously more intimidating.
As the lowest level dragon servant, he would usually be frightened when encountering ordinary dragons.
Now they actually have to meet Long Jue, how can this calm them down.
The villagers couldn't even believe the news, preferring the guards' threats.
However, not long after, their illusions were completely shattered by a black shadow flying from Udon City.
Gerald is really here!
"Roar~"
The black dot flying from the sky was small at first, but soon became clear.
That's an ice dragon.
It is about four to five meters tall, covered with light blue scales, with huge claws, a ferocious tail, sharp knife-like horns, and cold eyes.
When it fell from the sky, its two huge wings blew up the biting cold air, sending the snow on the ground flying all over the sky.
A dragon-like aura hit his face, causing all the dragon servants present, whether high-level or low-level, to feel instinctive fear.
The guards were okay, they just knelt on the ground and chanted your honorary name.
But those ordinary villagers, without exception, turned pale, trembled all over, and fell to the ground, lying on the cold snow, unable to even lift their heads, as if they were being targeted by natural enemies, their whole bodies were numb, and they could hardly move. Some of them were
The villagers even fainted out of fear.
"Where is he?"
Gerald seemed not to notice those lowly dragon servants at all, and directly asked the leader of the guard.
The previously arrogant leader was now as timid as the villagers, recounting the incident in detail with a trembling voice.
After Gerald heard this, everyone felt that the cold air around them suddenly became stronger!
Obviously, this news made Long Jue quite dissatisfied.
According to the "custom" of the dragon kingdom, once a certain dragon becomes angry, almost all the dragon servants present will die.
Just when Gerald was about to become furious, suddenly, from the small courtyard not far away, a contradictory cry of extreme fear and extreme joy came:
"Woof!"
Immediately, Gerard suddenly turned the dragon's head and looked at the boundless snow forest outside the village.
Then I saw a figure walking quickly.
His pace was very fast, and he arrived here in a few breaths in the cold wind.
Gerald's huge eyes lit up, and he instantly recognized that this was the "revelation" the three dragon kings were looking for.
Immediately, the giant dragon immediately restrained its aura and tried to show its friendliness.
But I saw that the man glanced at the dragon servant who was kneeling on the ground, frowned, and then raised his eyes to face Gerard directly. Not only was there no fear in his eyes, but he said indifferently with a look down on him:
"Graald?"
"I am the Lord of Udon City, Ice Dragon Lord, Gerald. This time, in accordance with the order of the Dragon King, please go to Dragon City..."
Gerald was halfway through speaking when he was abruptly interrupted.
Cheng Lin gave him a cold look and said, "I'm not going."
