Chapter 10 Back to Practical Issues
dragon.
This creature has not appeared in the world of mortals for a long time - in fact, for most intelligent races in the continent of Loren, dragons are creatures between myths and reality. They clearly know the existence of this powerful creature, but basically no one can see a real dragon in their lifetime.
Except for those elves in the south who are very treacherous and particularly able to live, the elves with long lifespans are very qualified to claim to be witnesses of history. In the long history of the Elf Empire, there are still records of dealing with dragons once or twice.
The elegant and powerful creature flew across the sky and dropped a deadly breath. The pillar of fire, which was already hot and white, contained the ancient dragon-word magic, whose power was not as simple as a flame. Wherever the pillar of fire swept, a raging fire ignited from the earth, and continued to burn and spread without fuel. After only a few breaths, the entire Cecil leader was completely trapped in the sea of fire.
After all this, the giant dragon hovered here for a while, as if checking its work effect, and finally flapping its wings and flying into the sky, disappearing into the gradually brightening clouds.
Gao Wen heard several deep breaths coming from his side. Everyone, including Hetty, dared to take a deep breath until now. If the dragon had occupied for a while, I really don't know who would be able to hold it in them and faint.
"Dragon...Dragon..." Rebecca held his staff tightly and kept muttering to himself, "Ancestor, I saw the dragon..."
Gao Wenqing coughed twice: "Cough cough, you don't need to say it, I've seen it too."
Rebecca then woke up suddenly, looked at Gao Wen awkwardly, then looked at Cecil with a complicated expression.
It was raging by the demon tide and burned by the dragon flame. This place was completely incredible.
And those monsters... although it is quite difficult for Cecil to lead the poorly combat-capable guards, they are only the lowest aberrations. They have almost all been destroyed by the burning of dragon flames. Even if there are still some who survive, their self-disintegration will be only time to go away after the huge changes in the surrounding environment.
"I thought the dragon would only appear in the legend," the taciturn Knight Byron couldn't help but speak. The three soldiers beside him were still swaying and unable to stand up. The always-stand-stricken Knight did not blame them at this moment, but just frowned, "Sir, have you ever dealt with the dragon?"
"No," Gao Wen shook his head, "Dragons are a very mysterious creature. Even when the Loren continent turned upside down seven hundred years ago, they did not intervene in the secular world."
Although he said this, Gao Wen was not too shocked by the huge creatures, because he had seen dragons from other channels. During the days he hung in the sky, he had seen such creatures appear on the continent more than once. However, dragons were indeed mysterious. Even though Gao Wen had been hung in the sky for countless tens of thousands of years, the giant dragons he saw were quite limited. In addition to the messy and trivial scenes, he could not summarize the characteristics and habits of dragons.
At this time, the shadow beside Gao Wen suddenly shook twice. He turned his head and saw Amber standing behind him, and the half-elf-like lady was still quite shocked.
"I saw the dragon!" Amber shouted, "My mother would never believe it-I saw a dragon! That ~~~~~~ how big!"
"Okay, okay, everyone here can see it," Gao Wen glared at the timid and noisy thief, "Where did you go just now?"
"Drawing into the cracks of the stones nearby," Amber said with her chest out, "I have the best ability to escape!"
Gao Wen covered his forehead and sighed: "Shadow Affinity is at least a master level, and his frontal combat ability is only more powerful than Goose. You are quite proud."
Then he shook his head: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly."
He walked down the hillside. Although the dragon had left, God knew that something strange would appear, so leaving as soon as possible was the king. However, Hedy looked at the family territory with a complicated expression: "Ancestor... the dragon burned our territory."
"He burned our ruins, strictly speaking, he burned those monsters," Gao Wen glanced at Hetty. He had observed carefully when the dragon released its breath before, and basically sprayed at the places where the monsters were most dense. Although he didn't know why he sprayed in a different direction several times, his tendency to spray was quite obvious. "Cecil's leader was gone before the dragon came."
"but……"
"Do you still want to seek justice with a dragon?" Gao Wen shrugged, "Tell me something practical. If you really want to do something, you are going to return to civilized society as soon as possible and report all the monsters and dragons."
Hetty could not argue, so he could only nod: "Yes."
In fact, Gao Wen understood Hetty's mood very well - Cecil is her hometown, the place where she was born and raised. Although her hometown has been destroyed, the hurdle in her heart is not so easy to pass. Even though she knew that the dragon just set a fire on the ruins, and the fire was very likely to be to burn those monsters, she would be a little awkward.
After all, this is considered whipping the corpse in front of you.
But no matter how understanding is, it is difficult for Gao Wen to bring it into it - after all, he was not the ancestor of the Cecil family until he crawled out of the coffin...
With all kinds of messy moods, the group left the area, and next was a dense forest in front of them.
Heti held a staff in one hand and outlined several runes with uncertain light and darkness in the air with the other, then looked up and looked in the direction of the forest: "You have to pass through this forest to return to the road, which is the only way to the town of Tanzan."
Gao Wen looked at the runes shining in Hetty's hands with curiosity and envy (although he tried hard to hide them) expression: "Magic is really a convenient thing..."
"Ancestor?" Hetty was confused, and then he showed a somewhat panic expression, "Did my skills make you unhappy?"
Gao Wen was stunned: "Ah? Why am I unhappy?"
"The Cecil family has always been based on the power of knights. Martial arts and riding are the orthodox families. Like Rebecca and I, who have embarked on the path of a mage... If it were more than a hundred years ago, not to mention inheritance, it would be a problem to gain a foothold in the family," Hetty explained nervously, "It's just that since that incident a hundred years ago, the family's status has plummeted and the population has gradually withered. Children who can master extraordinary power are scarce, so the path outside the path of a knight has been recognized... But no matter what, this violates the rules of the family."
Gao Wen said casually: "Who made this stupid rule?"
He has always hated this typical pedantic rule, who has an open mind.
However, as soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Knight Byron lowered his head and pretended to tie his shoelaces - although he was wearing a pair of iron boots, Hetty was stunned on the spot, while Rebecca raised his hand timidly after two seconds and pointed at Gao Wen himself.
Gao Wen: "…"
Searching the memory, it seems like this is happening back then.
The young and energetic hero Gauvin Cecil drank and celebrated the celebration wine with Charles I, the founding king of the Ansu Kingdom, after a triumphant victory. Two good friends brag after drinking and discuss that the great cause is coming. The group of people who led their tribesmen to the north who were struggling to escape to the north have now become pioneers and pioneers. It can be foreseeable that in the near future, a large number of first-generation nobles will be born behind these first-generation nobles with a long history of inheritance and a strong root...
So the two founding kings and ministers who had drunkenly gathered together to think about whether they should standardize in advance and formulate some clan rules and family precepts to prevent the descendants from forgetting the spirit of their ancestors. As pioneers among pioneers and founders among founders, Gowen Cecil and Charles I should undoubtedly set an example.
So Gowen Cecil, seven hundred years ago, drank half a glass of high-altitude wine in one sip, looked at the Knight Sword on his waist, raised his hand and splashed ink on the table and left a line of words:
Knights are awesome than mages.
Charles I was very pleased when he saw it, so he also splashed ink and wrote a line of words:
Gao Wenqing is right.
The former became the ancestral teachings of the Cecil family, and the latter... the latter allowed Charles I's servants and censors to go back to death.
Of course, the minister who was far-reaching in thinking about the overall situation and the awakened king would not include such drunken words in the basic national policy, but Gauven Cecil seriously listed his thoughts at that time in the clan rules.
Leaving from the memory bank, Gowen glanced at Heti and Rebecca with awkward look on his face.
He sighed: "I was drunk back then, so you just pretend that there was no such rule..."
Hetty & Rebecca: “…?”
And at this moment, a grunt sound from the amber belly next to him finally relieved Gao Wen.
"Although I know that it's a bit inappropriate to say that when your grandparents and grandchildren enjoy family happiness," the half-elf girl rubbed her stomach a little awkwardly, "but I'm a little hungry."
Amber's hunger seemed to be a starting signal. After she finished speaking, several sounds of gastrointestinal peristalsis came from everyone on the scene.
Even Gao Wen is no exception.
It was not until this moment that Gao Wen realized that since leaving the dark tomb, everyone present had not eaten for a long time.
