"Your Excellency Mu, this is the fruit just picked from the orchard. Please enjoy it." Ten servants carried a fruit plate huge enough for a human being to lie down and roll on it and placed it in front of Muria. There were various kinds of fruits on it.
Strange-shaped fruits, each with a bright aura visible to the naked eye.
"Well!" Muria picked up a fruit carved like purple jade, chewed it into pieces and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. The servants around him couldn't help but have a look of envy in their eyes. They were all a little bit jealous.
Qualified ordinary people.
After entering this castle and serving for so long, they naturally know the value of these fruits. Each one here can change their destiny, but they dare not touch any of these fruits that can change their destiny.
Because they know the value of these fruits, the owner of Thorn Castle, the dragon knight Bernard who has obtained the title of Marquis in the principality, is not willing to enjoy them at will. He only picks some during holidays or special days.
, taste and share with the sea spirit Akko.
But for this kind of rare fruit, Lord Bernard allowed Lord Mu in front of him to ask for and take it. He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of identity this Lord was, actually needing the dragon knight who would be the master of a country in the future.
Lord Bernard is so flattering.
Naturally, the vision of these servants cannot understand their master's actions. Of course, neither Muria nor Bernard cares about their thoughts.
Muria was sitting at the dining table. In addition to the huge fruit plate in front of him, there were also delicacies made by various powerful beasts brought to him like flowing water.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly." In a secret room in the Castle of Thorns, Bernard, a dragon knight wearing golden armor, looked nervously at Muria who was eating, his eyes fixed on the fruit plate.
Among them is a fruit that shines with colorful light. Under the cover of other rare fruits, this fruit that shines with colorful light is not dazzling, and even looks very ordinary.
But Muria seemed to be teasing him deliberately. While he was eating, the colorful fruit placed on top of the fruit plate kept rolling down, until it fell to the bottom of the fruit plate. During this process, he could see in the secret room
Bernard was so anxious that he had the urge to rush down to the restaurant and stuff the fruit into Muria's mouth.
However, the dragon knight endured it. Under his expectant gaze, Muria picked up a seven-color fruit in the fruit plate with a few rare fruits left. He seemed not to notice anything special about this fruit. After a few mouthfuls,
Chew it and swallow it in your stomach.
…
"Mysterious Dragon Soul Fruit, a sinful fruit watered with the blood of a dragon, is this what it tastes like?" After Muria ate the seven-color fruit, she smashed it in her mouth and tasted it carefully.
The first moment she saw this fruit, Muria recognized that there was a record of this fruit in the inherited memory of the golden dragon. It was one of the strange plants bred by the world in response to the giant dragon.
But this kind of fruit is only effective for ordinary dragons. It has a slight effect on dragons whose bloodline is above the strong dragon level, but has no effect on the ancestral dragons. For Muria, it is naturally just a taste.
Just good fruit.
"This fruit tastes good, what's its name? Is there any more?" Muria looked at the old butler who was serving on the side. According to his discussion with the servants, he learned that this was the dragon knight Bernard when he was still in his prime.
The old man who had already followed him.
"Your Excellency Mu, these fruits were collected by my young master in the wilderness. Many of them have not yet been named, so this should be one of the fruits without names. If you like there are some in the orchard, I will tell you
I'll ask the servant to bring it to you later." The old housekeeper responded with a smile, as usual, he seemed to know nothing.
"Yeah." Muria was noncommittal to the old butler's answer and continued to enjoy the food. Little did he know that his calm look gave Bernard a huge impact in the secret room.
"I was too embarrassed to attack you at first," Muria, who was tasting the delicious food, looked indifferent, "Now you are seeking your own death and putting the handle into my hands. Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"You've obviously eaten it, why didn't you react at all?" Bernard stared at the screen in front of him, which clearly reflected everything in the restaurant. Muria's expression was normal, and she didn't see any signs of fainting.
.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Bernard vaguely saw Muria raising his head and looking in his direction, but when he looked over, he didn't notice anything strange.
Time passed slowly. Even if Bernard was unwilling to give in, Muria did not fall with his wishes. However, because of his strong unwillingness, especially when he paid such a price but got nothing, Bernard took the risk and
Three Mysterious Dragon Soul Fruits were delivered to Muria again.
Under Bernard's gaze, Muria swallowed all three extremely precious Mysterious Dragon Mind Fruits. He chewed each of the Mind Fruits into pieces, and then there was no reaction at all.
Such behavior made Bernard give up and completely give up the idea of Muria. At this time, he had a true understanding of the word "Gulong", which was an existence that he could not touch at all now.
After the fruit that can easily charm the dragon was swallowed by the ancient dragon, it was like an ordinary fruit with a different taste. This fact made him awe of Muria, and then Muria was truly regarded as a real one.
The uncle will provide it.
Time gradually passed like water, and the advancement of the Giant Legion was getting closer and closer to the Thorn Territory because of the existence of Muria. As a sign that the Giant Legion was about to reach the Thorn Territory, the beast tide also came to the Thorn Territory.
Wild beasts will instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When faced with being unable to resist the creatures, they will flee to other places for their lives. Under the front of the giant army, the ferocious beasts that originally lived on the Dragon Peninsula began to move crazily towards them.
Running around.
So, when the giant army approached the Thorn Territory, one wave after another of beasts attacked the Thorn Territory, and this was just the beginning.
"Your Excellency Mu, the beast tide is attacking my territory. I would like to ask you to take action to help my territory resist the beast tide."
Because the defensive frontier of the Thorn Territory is too long, even though Bernard has the ability to resist the beast tide, because the battle line is too long, he has no way to divide his time, so he has to focus on Muria, who he supports as his ancestor.
.
Bernard wanted to ask this ancient dragon with unfathomable strength to help his territory survive this disaster. In this case, his previous investment would be considered to have paid off.
"Yes." After hearing the dragon knight's request, Muria readily agreed. The thorn territory has been regarded as his by Muria. Naturally, he will not allow the beast tide to enter this well-developed territory and trample on it wantonly.
It's his territory.
"But I don't need to do it." Muria thought for a moment, took out a crystal dragon scale the size of a washbasin, then carved a few runes in the air and stamped it on the dragon scale, and handed it to Bernard, who looked expectant.
.
"Just take this dragon scale and patrol the border of your territory for a week. The wild beasts will naturally avoid the thorn territory."
"This is?" Looking at the crystal dragon scale, Bernard looked at Muria with some confusion. If it was golden, he would naturally guess that it was taken off by Muria, but this
It's turquoise.
"These are the scales of an ancient dragon, idiot, or damn it's a green dragon. I knew this guy was a monster." A frightened curse sounded in Bernard's heart, which was already with him.
The red dragon who signed a contract and has a spiritual connection.
"Then thank you Master Mu." Although he knew that this was an ancient dragon scale, he was still skeptical. If the ancient dragon walked around the border of his territory in person, he naturally believed that no more beasts would dare to
Attacking his territory, but if it's just a scale, what's the use?
With a skeptical attitude, Bernard held the ancient dragon scales that Muria gave him and rode a red dragon to patrol the border of his territory. Then something very magical happened. When he walked by, everyone
When a panicked beast enters the boundary of its territory, it will flee hastily in other directions, not daring to trample on the thorny territory again.
Facts speak louder than words. No matter what Bernard thinks, the fact is that his territory is now free from the danger of being hit by a tide of beasts. So, when the territory no longer has to worry about the danger of being hit by a tide of beasts, Bernard will think about other things.
thing.
What is the cause of this dampness? What makes these beasts that originally lived elsewhere flee towards his territory? What is driving them away?
With strong curiosity and a sense of worry, Bernard left the territory on his red dragon mount, rushed into the beast tide alone, caught a gold-level sword lion, and began to ask questions. This wisdom was no less than
The giant feline beast of humanity.
"What are you afraid of?" The knight riding the red dragon asked the golden sword lion prostrate on the ground like a kitten.
"The giant is coming." This golden sword lion grew up in the Dragon Peninsula and has never seen a human being, but it has seen the arrogant and ferocious red dragon, so it is full of awe for the creature that can stand on the red dragon.
.
"What giant?" Bernard's heart skipped a beat when he heard Sword Lion's hasty tone and he quickly asked.
"They are giants with bodies as tall as mountains. Their skin is as white as the clouds in the sky. They drive wolves and bring huge griffons to line up to capture us." Golden Sword Lion.
He responded with a trembling voice,
"No one can stop them, not even the giant dragon. I saw with my own eyes that a giant dragon was caught by them under their siege. I advise you to run away quickly!"
