Chapter 280 Who has never dreamed of becoming a dragon knight in childhood?
In a flash of golden light, Lann appeared in the dwarf town. Before the warriors of the Ferentz clan could ask for help from him, a sun-like spot of light appeared at his feet, as if a throne had risen from the ground and lifted him into the air.
The wind and snow began to roar, and the dwarves of the Ferentz clan stared dumbly at the ice giant appearing in the light spots and Lann on the ice giant's shoulders. They forgot their words for a moment.
Only Vavznek Ferentz opened his mouth wide and took a mouthful of snow, and then jumped up excitedly as if he had just woken up from a dream:
"Duke Lannister! Duke Lannister! There is a dragon there, kill him. Get it!"
The direction of Vavznek's finger turned out to be the green dragon that had just fished him out of the rock wall.
After hearing Vavznek's words, the green dragon that had just saved the "Witch's Lair" suddenly paused, and the wounds on its body shot by the dragon-hunting crossbow were still dripping hot blood toward the ground.
She looked up, and her dark golden vertical pupils met another pair of equally dark golden eyes. However, the green dragon surprisingly did not see any anger or murderous intent in those eyes, but a kind of peace.
This expression was exactly the same as the one the owner of those eyes had when he looked at him during the previous journey, and it did not change at all due to his change of form.
He got it. Green Dragon thought silently in his heart.
"My God!" The unknown ice giant shouted to the sky, and the wind and snow suddenly became violent. He seemed to want to use this green dragon to make up for the fighting spirit that he had not been able to vent on the red dragon before.
But Lann kicked the ice giant hard, causing the big man to suppress his emotions again. Then he flashed golden light, holding the rune sword high in his hand and appeared above the green dragon's head, and his body pulled out a dazzling arc of light as it fell due to gravity.
At the same time, a subtle voice reached the green dragon's ears:
"Go a little further, let's talk in another place."
The next second, the green dragon, which had no fighting spirit just now, suddenly burst out with tyrannical power, and the dragon claws With a wave of his hand, he caught the Duke of Lannister in the palm of his hand, who was still in mid-air and had nowhere to rely on. He flapped his wings and flew away towards the Mahakam Mountains.
Vavznek, who was about to cheer, froze in place like an ice sculpture.
The ice giant scratched his head, looked left and right, roared "My god" loudly, then took long strides towards the green dragon and disappeared into the wind and snow.
...
Every time the dragon's broad wings flap, it will bring up a howling wind, constantly blowing through Lan's hair. The sun shines through the dark clouds, illuminating the snow on the top of the mountain, reflecting little bits of light, as if there is a layer of diamonds on the mountain.
Lan En didn't know when he crawled out of the dragon's claws that were not clenched at all, and a golden light appeared above the green dragon's head. He grabbed two horny bone spurs that looked like crowns and sat down. He closed his eyes and raised his head to feel this novel flying experience.
The green dragon noticed Lann's movements and his pupils moved upward slightly. She looked at the half-long pale golden hair that was more dazzling than the sun and didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long time, a low roar like a horn came from the throat, which seemed to be a reminder. Then the entire dragon body began to sink, and the dragon's body gradually began to stick to the mountain wall. The air pressure brought by the flight broke away the snow on the mountainside, allowing them to fly like elves in the sun.
They passed by a mountain top, a mountain lake, and half a black pine forest. It was not until they were sure that there were no traces of dwarves around that the green dragon gradually slowed down.
With a flash of golden light, Lan appeared on the ground. Then he felt the gryphon badge on his chest begin to tremble violently, and massive amounts of chaotic energy fluctuated around him. When he turned around, he saw that the green dragon, which was nearly ten meters long, was covered in dazzling light. Then it began to compress and shape, and finally turned into a human shape.
When the light dimmed, it revealed skin that was not delicate but gave people a smooth and smooth look, undulating curves comparable to the Mahakam Mountains, golden brown semi-long hair, and a pair of hesitant eyes.
There were several muffled "dong" and "dong" sounds, and two dragon-hunting arrows as thick as an adult's arm hit the snow.
Lann looked at the beautiful scenery of Mahakam with the eyes of a work of art, and said his first words after landing: "Is your injury okay?"
Saskia glanced at the two people on her body who looked like they were being injured. The wound caused by an ordinary arrow, lowered his head, and answered the question: "You don't seem surprised?" He
was not surprised about the fact that "he transformed into a dragon".
Lan nodded. Not only did he know Saskia's identity, he even knew Saskia's future. This was all information that he had sorted out in his mind when he first met Saskia, but he kept it secret because the time had not come yet.
...
Although dragons are regarded as representatives of chaotic energy, they are indeed able to absorb chaotic energy almost instinctively and spontaneously. But few people actually see dragons perform magic. Most of the time, they just rely on their powerful bodies and various breaths to kill their enemies.
Under such circumstances, folk songs and legends have spread from unknown time on, the story of a giant dragon that can transform into a human form and walk on the earth. The fifth color of the dragon.
A giant dragon that is good at using magic - the golden dragon.
Some scholars believe that the existence of the golden dragon is well-founded. This is a miraculous mutation caused by the young dragon absorbing too much chaotic energy during the dragon egg stage; folklorists believe that the giant dragon is completely fictitious. After all, it is only virtual. Only living things can grow "golden scales", something that is completely in line with human aesthetics.
In fact, the golden dragon does exist. In his early years, Geralt once met a middle-aged man who called himself "Three Jackdaws". This man was generous and always had two Zerikan female warriors as his followers. After Geralt discussed with him the issues about golden dragons and the boundary between order and chaos, he spent a night in a huge bathtub with the middle-aged man and two Zerikan female warriors.
Geralt then joined a dragon-slaying team that defeated the green dragon. The team at that time also included Yennefer and Yarpen. But then they encountered internal strife and almost died, but were accidentally saved by a golden dragon that suddenly appeared. So they fought side by side with the golden dragon to fight against the dragon-slaying army, and eventually formed a friendship.
And when Geralt and others asked the golden dragon why he came all the way to help the green dragon, the golden dragon showed them a young dragon. It turns out that the green dragon they wanted to conquer had just given birth, which gave humans an opportunity.
...
Saskia is the little green dragon who was once helped by Geralt, and the father she has always said before who taught her the concept of racial equality is the miraculous golden dragon - Velentretan Mace, also known as "Three Jackdaws".
After thinking this, Lan flipped his left hand and took out a cloak from the [Inventory], stepped forward and gently draped it on Saskia's body. Although the cold wind in the mountains was unlikely to chill a true dragon, it was still not the behavior of a knight to let such a naked-skinned lady stand in the wind and snow.
If you really want to watch it, there's no rush, right?
Although Saskia is a dragon, she has learned a lot of etiquette and etiquette in human society over such a long time. At this time, she still knows how to cover her vitals slightly. She seemed to be very impressed by Lan's actions and smiled slightly: "This is the etiquette of knighthood, right?"
"But you haven't answered my question yet, Lord Lannister. When did you know that I was a dragon?" "You
haven't answered my question yet, Lady Green Dragon." Lann shook his head, "Your injury Are you okay?"
Another wrong answer. However, such an off-topic exchange swept away the slightly heavy atmosphere before. The two people, who had changed from familiarity to strangers due to the exposure of Saskia's true identity, once again relaxed the atmosphere.
Saskia couldn't help but smile and was the first to give in: "The Ferenz clan has obviously planned to kill the dragon for a long time. Their weapons are indeed superb... but they didn't hurt the vital parts, and I still have the magic my father taught me, so it doesn't count. Injury."
"Also, if you can help it, please don't call me 'Lady Green Dragon.'" "
You called me 'Lord Lannister' first." Lann took a step back, keeping a polite social distance, "Then continue It's my turn to answer the question."
Taking a breath, Lan organized his words and came up with the excuse he had thought of from the beginning.
"Your self-report is full of too many contradictions: Ms. Zerikan entered the North alone, but she had no weapons; you had a conversation with the Scoia'tael, but you looked like a human; you spoke of lofty ideals, race Equality, establishing a nation - but have you ever thought about how shocking this topic is?"
"The most important thing is that you and Geralt are too close, and he has long sensed something is wrong. Geralt had I had a friend who was similar to you, and this friend later gave him a big 'surprise'."
Saskia sighed: "Is it my father? He told me the story of the White Wolf. I should have paid attention to it a long time ago. "...I'm still too inexperienced."
Lann shrugged: "I have another excuse, I hope it can make you feel better - you should know about the ancient blood, right? I can use that to see something about you Sporadic fragments of it. It’s just that it’s never been real, that is, I can verify it only by seeing your posture with my own eyes.”
Saskia nodded: “The blood of the ancients is the power destined to save the world. This father also told me I said it."
At this point, the question seems to have been answered. But both knew that the real conflict had not yet been raised.
After a moment of silence, Saskia was the first to continue the conversation.
"...What happens after?"
Lann deliberately showed a puzzled look: "What happens after?"
Saskia choked for a moment, and with strong strength but lack of social experience, she emphasized: "You already know that I am a dragon, what are you going to do next? ?”
…
What are you going to do?
Lann smiled inwardly. Why do you think I am pretending to be confused, even though I know you are a dragon girl, but I still join the team and gain favor as if nothing has happened? What is all this for? I have taken so much time to exchange racial equality and various knowledge with you. Do you think I, a duke who goes around to support the restoration of the country, have nothing to do? How can any pretty, good-looking woman sneak into the team and take up my time?
Didn’t you realize that Geralt has been looking at me strangely during this period, and Milva has been looking at you strangely too?
Lann took a deep breath and began to brew his emotions.
He showed a decent, sincere and just right smile: "We share the same ideals and beliefs, Saskia. So I believe you also know how difficult it is to achieve that goal." "Cintra is my home
. I also believe that there can be the first step for you to realize your ideal."
He stepped forward to close the distance between the two, and stretched out his hand towards Saskia: "I know that you only joined my team out of curiosity and learning. , is considered an inspection. And now there are no secrets between us, so I sincerely invite you again, hoping that you can join Cintra." "
Saskia, Cintra needs you - and so do I. You."
...
The cold wind blew the corners of my clothes. Although she couldn't feel the cold, Saskia still tightened the cloak Lan En gave her and buried her face in the cloak.
Just as she was about to say something, a loud roar came from afar, disrupting their thoughts.
"I——God——!!"
There was a rumbling vibration on the ground. It took the ice giant so long to finally rush over the mountains and ridges.
He panted and looked at the owner of the field, and then looked at another little man who looked like he was naked for a while, and after a while he scratched his head in confusion - where is the big lizard?
"My god?"
Lan En glanced at the ice giant with empty eyes. He didn't expect that this big guy could run so fast and interfere at such a critical moment.
Just when he felt his hand raised in the air was awkward, a warm touch suddenly filled it. The touch of those fingers was not delicate, and it was far different from the female hands he had touched before. There were even rough and hard calluses on them that only warriors would have.
But Lann felt more satisfied than ever.
After all, the one holding out this hand is a dragon!
And the power behind this dragon is far more than that!
"I heard my father tell the legend of the Ice Giant. He may be the last member of this ancient race. Even such an ancient race can be conquered... I don't know how to describe you." Saskia said softly
. : "I lost two very important things today, Lan."
"Huh?" Lan quickly got out of his thoughts and showed a listening posture.
"I originally thought that Mahakam's compatriots could coexist peacefully with the dwarves, and she would be one of my learning targets. It turned out that the peace between her and the dwarves was too fragile and full of hidden dangers." "After that, I faced the slaughter of the dwarves
. A compatriot, but the first time I just wanted to calm her down and hope that she would be safe and sound." Saskia sighed, "I am covering up my compatriot - and I even just met her for the first time. Like this What I did was wrong. If there really is a multi-racial country, my behavior will only intensify the conflicts between races." "I
lost a goal today and also lost part of my faith, Lann." Saskia Sighing again, "The knowledge and ideals my father imparted to me are too great. Now I know how small my own power is." Then she raised her head
and grabbed Lan's hand in reverse: "I... don't I know how to continue the rest of the way, can you teach me how to go?"
The wind in the mountains blew Saskia's hair and cloak, making her eyes bright.
Lan nodded: "Of course, it's my honor."
