Dragoon Sentinel

The sudden darkness did not make Nuo Lei panic. He scanned the surroundings indifferently, barely distinguishing the outlines with inconsistent concentrations. This is a circular passage without lights, with a height of four meters, and the smooth ground drips down to the ankle According to preliminary judgment, this may be a section of sewer.

Is this a change of location? Nuo Lei walked forward while dripping water, wondering what would happen again.

Turning a corner along the circular waterway, the water level on the ground dropped a lot, exposing the wet stone slabs. At this moment, a familiar roar pierced into my ears, and Nuo Lei paused slightly, and rushed over immediately.Not far away, in the dim space crawled a painfully distorted figure, and painful moans leaked from his clenched teeth.

Hearing his voice, Nuo Lei's heartstrings tensed, and he groped to quicken his pace. Just as he was about to approach, a violent force grabbed his calf and pulled him down directly.

Nuo Lei let go of his defense and slid to the ground along with that force. He propped his neck to protect the back of his head from making intimate contact with the ground, but in the next second, his head hit the opponent's hard forehead, and he fainted for a while. , suddenly fell into the field of vision of a pair of golden animal pupils, and his face was full of the opponent's breath.

"Who are you?" Nuo Lei's limbs were firmly clamped, and the voice of enduring pain came to his ears through an unnatural pause.Nuo Lei felt distressed for a while, and wanted to reach out and rub the dragon's hair: "Are you all right, Ferth?"

Ferth was stunned for a moment, and couldn't restrain her surprise and asked, "Who the hell are you?!"

Norley didn't know if there was a connection between the jumping time circles, so he boldly said, "I met you in the dormitory, and you said that I have the same eyes as Jin."

Phils was silent for a while, and suddenly let go of the strength in his hand. At this juncture, he groaned in pain, and unconsciously grabbed Nuo Lei and turned over. This position was awkward, lying on Phil Nuo Lei, who was on Si's body, was speechless for a while, sat up and pulled him up forcefully and hugged him in his arms.

The dragon who was a circle bigger than himself was not as cute as when he was a child. It took a lot of effort for Nuo Lei to hug this stubborn dragon. His eyes, which had adapted to the dim environment, caught sight of two corpses lying behind the dragon. They were wearing mage academy clothes. The robes of the trainee mage, nothing unusual.

Norey patted him on the back and asked, "What just happened?"

"These two people... have been eroded, they—" Ferth choked up, and suddenly put down his airs and hugged the person in front of him tightly, as if this could relieve the pain from his nerve conduction, but he didn't say what he said next. Dare to tell the truth, just now, he fell into a trap and was also planted with a corrupting devilish energy.

When Ferth was fighting between heaven and man, the person holding him asked nonchalantly: "You have also been corrupted, right? It's no big deal, aren't you a dragon? How could such a unique and unruly creature lose to this?" something, right?"

Ferth froze for a moment. His first reaction was that this guy was a companion of those two, but after hearing what Nuo Lei said next, he hesitated again. If he was an accomplice, shouldn't he comfort him like this?

"How do you know I'm a dragon?" Ferth raised his vigilance. He turned his head and pointed at Nuo Lei's neck, staring straight at his artery, waiting for him to bite down when he leaked his horse's feet, but then he listened The answer he got was beyond his imagination.

"Well, you may not believe me, I watched you grow up." Nuo Lei felt the dragon stiffen in his arms, and said without psychological pressure, "When I saw you, you were sealed in a valley , At that time, you were already corroded, relying on the spirit of nature to purify, but then something happened, you were released when you were still an egg, and I took you around, but unfortunately, you grew up too fast. "

Ferth was uncharacteristically quiet. Occasionally he would increase the strength of his embrace, but Nuo Lei endured it without saying a word. He knew that it was because Ferth was resisting the demonic energy.

Unable to feel the repulsion from Ferth, Norley's statement became more fluent. He gently rubbed Ferth's hair and murmured: "Although the you I know have been eroded, you are still an incomparable dragon. No one Can coerce you, enslave you, no one will have a stronger will than you."

Ferth was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head against Nuo Lei's shoulder and looked at him. His golden pupils accurately captured the man's facial features, and the pair of green eyes hidden under the eyelashes. He was calm and calm. longing.

"Can you help me?" Ferth said, "Although you have full confidence in me, I don't know how far I can go."

"How to do it?"

Seeing Nuo Lei's unhesitating attitude, Ferth showed a successful smile: "Let's make a contract."

Hey... why is it a contract again, how many contracts do I have to make with you before you are willing?Nuo Lei deeply reflected on why he thought this dragon was stupid before, he was clearly very shrewd!

"What... contract?"

Ferth lowered his head to hide the sly light in his eyes, and pretended to be pitiful and said: "A simple contract, share the pain with me, are you... willing?"

"Yes." They have already signed the partnership contract, and it is trivial to share weal and woe.

Nuo Lei's straightforward answer made Ferth stunned on the spot. He suppressed his voice and said to himself, "You really... gave him everything..."

he?Is the subject wrong?Before Nuo Lei could figure it out, a pain that invaded his brain began to strike. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and shed tears of stress. He tightened his arms but found that the person in his arms was empty.

He was stunned for a moment, and the dark space of the sewer in front of him also distorted, and the bright light turned into thick oil paints. After a while, he returned to the square of the Mage Academy, and the aurora-like magic light was instantly drained and exposed. The transparent glass floor, at first glance, seems to be imprisoned in the sky.

A group of sorcerer apprentices with different complexions surrounded the square. They watched Nuo Lei, who was kneeling on the ground suffering from suffering, with their hands clasped tightly in front of their chests, as if they were performing a grand magic ceremony.At this moment, a ball of light rose high above Nuo Lei's head, and the ball of light transformed into the image of a noble woman, which was exactly the same as the badge worn by the mage—the goddess of silent words.

The glowing goddess remained silent. She raised her hand and imagined the words clearly presented in front of Nuo Lei's eyes. As the words appeared, a thunderous voice sounded from the crowd to interpret the words of the goddess: "You have been eroded, according to It is ruled that you will be executed, what else do you have to say?"

The situation in front of him vaguely reminded Nuo Lei of something, and the pain that followed made him dazed for a while. He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, trying to regain his lax spirit. He puffed out his chest and knelt down on one knee to promise: "I... can stay sane."

Without instructions from the goddess, the rough voice directly refuted Nuo Lei's point of view: "You can't even speak clearly, how can you prove that you can resist erosion?!"

"By my...will."

"How much is your will worth? Do you think you are a god?"

"Even the gods can't resist the erosion of monsters. The dragon gods in the north of the mainland have already fallen. Do you think your will will be stronger than the dragon gods?"

Nuo Lei's ears were full of doubts, which were harder to bear than the pain accumulated in his body. Nuo Lei did not change his posture and said calmly, "How will you know if you don't try."

The goddess was silent, and she waved her hand to change the words: "No one can resist erosion, do you think you can be a special case?"

"I don't know, but I have to do it." Nuo Lei looked at the goddess emitting soft light, and replied softly, "I have no way out."

"I admire your determination, but there are no opportunities in front of you right now. If you want to stick to your own path, you have to create your own opportunities."

"what should I do?"

"Show us your will to be stronger than erosion." The goddess suddenly changed the words again, and uttered a sentence that shocked Nolei, "It's not your perfunctory rhetoric, but even if you never have a chance to be a guide in this life, you can still Hold on to yourself."

"How do you know..." About the guide?

The goddess asked again indifferently: "Do you think you can still do it?"

"Without the guidance of a guide, there is no retreat."

"Can you do it with just your own will?"

Nuo Lei fixedly stared at the changing text in front of his eyes, gradually ignoring the endless doubts in his ears, looking at the small and busy world under the transparent passage, familiar faces appeared in his mind, including his sister, his A friend from when he was a mercenary, and his frigate that didn't pay off the loan...

But in the end, those pictures turned into lands of recovery, Father Ed who sticks to his duty, West who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, Your Excellency the knight who is unsmiling, the enchanting siren who protects the family... And, the tough and domineering... dragon.

With this moment frozen in his mind, Nuo Lei raised his head: "I can."

The Goddess of Silent Whispers raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and sighed with emotion for the first time: "I feel it, your will."

Suddenly, the square and countless mage apprentices disappeared before his eyes. A young figure walked towards him slowly. He pushed the brass glasses crooked on the bridge of his nose and greeted gently: "Congratulations, you passed the exam." test."

"You created this world?" Norley was not surprised to see the appearance of Colin King. He said while clutching his numb chest, "The pain is real enough."

Jin was amused by his words, pursed his lips and said, "This is part of the time circle I created, and it retains the memories of my student days."

"So...you and Ferth are indeed friends." Nuo Lei said indifferently, "I have heard your voice before, and you are the one who sealed him up, right?"

"You're right. So far I don't know whether my decision is right or wrong, but one thing I'm sure of is that I feel sorry for him." Jin walked up to Norey, helped him up and said, "Now with you I'm at ease with him."

Nuo Lei took a breath and asked inexplicably, "Why hasn't the pain stopped?"

"Did you forget that Saroso Sosuo hasn't been removed from your body yet?" Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's that thing that makes you uncomfortable now."

"Is there any solution?"

"If not, wouldn't I be sorry for my old friend again." Jin smiled slyly, and quickly wove a golden magic circle with both hands. When the magic circle was pulled apart, a familiar yet unfamiliar weapon appeared in front of Nuo Lei , A circling ferocious red dragon appeared on the scarlet gun handle. It folded its wings and stared sharply at the direction of the blade.The original silver-white blade turned into the color of magma, and streamlined energy fluctuations jumped out from time to time.

"Dragon Spear?"

"The Ellery Dragon Spear was originally a weapon belonging to the red dragon Ellery. It never feared the erosion of monsters on the battlefield, because its flames could purify everything. In the end, the dragon was killed by those eroding kin, and Dragon Spear has not been able to exert its original power anymore, now, are you willing to accept the baptism of red flames of Dragon Spear and get rid of the influence of Saluo Suosuo?"

Is this still doubtful?Of course I would!

Nuo Lei glanced at the dragon spear lying in front of him, and resolutely held it.

The pure and flawless red flames engulfed Nuo Lei's body in an instant, invaded his muscles and bones silently, and flowed to every corner of his body along with his blood. Nuo Lei's sea of ​​consciousness also turned into a sea of ​​flames, and he lost his voice. Shouting, the domineering Hongyan was much more violent than Sha Luo Suosuo's impact, and he didn't even have time to prepare.Despite the trance, he didn't let go.

Sensing his will, the Dragon Spear trembled slightly with excitement, humming uninterruptedly.Colin King took a step back, with a sense of loneliness showing on his smiling face: "My task is completed, the next step is up to you."

He raised his hand again, and the golden circle of time circled around Nuo Lei again...

As time goes by, the few people waiting outside the magic circle are silent. Every time the hourglass in the magic circle is covered with a thin layer, the impatient dragon will turn around in Ashabang. He can't destroy the magic circle. Relying on destroying the ruins to vent, even the Guardian Wind Wolf couldn't stop him from doing so. He could only watch the east side collapse and the west side collapse.

It angrily got up and walked around the magic circle, glaring at Ferth wishing to tear him into pieces, and Ferth wished someone would stand up and beat him up, the wind wolf saw through this, whimpered and tucked its tail and continued. Surrounding the magic circle, it is not stupid. Its strength must be reserved to protect Asabang. Who wants to be as knowledgeable as this stupid dragon!

Just when Ferth's patience ran out again, the magic circle emitted a red light. The wind wolf stood up vigilantly, and Ferth was even faster. pulled out.

Nuo Lei holding the dragon gun appeared in front of several people through the light, and everyone was relieved by coincidence, but seeing Nuo Lei's eyes closed and not awake, his nerves tensed again.God knows if that mad dragon will take his anger out on him!

Hugging Nuo Lei who was lost and found again, Ferth calmed down the whole dragon. He hugged Nuo Lei tightly like a selfish child and refused to share it with others.

The wind wolf stomped its paws in disgust, and snorted angrily: "If you hold him so tightly, aren't you afraid of strangling him to death..."

Ferth glanced sideways, and silently let go of his embrace. He belatedly realized that Nuo Lei was not awake, and the anxiety that had been suppressed just now came to his mind again: "What's going on?"

"Hmph...someone will explain it to you."

The wind wolf stepped back, and the glowing magic circle turned again, revealing a translucent figure. He was wearing a trainee mage's robe and brass glasses. Along with the freckles on his face, he was recognizable.West and Betisno, who were standing behind, were stunned, while Ferth gritted his teeth ferociously: "It's you—"

"Long time no see."

Ferth directly skipped the small talk and asked, "What did you do to Nuo Lei?!"

Jin sighed, and said helplessly: "He's fine, it's just the aftereffect of the purification, he needs to rest for a few days."

"Oh, God knows if you will lie to me again!"

"Didn't you make a contract with him? Why didn't you check it out?"

Ferth hesitated for a moment. He still remembered all the feelings of calling out to no avail before, and he dared not admit that he was timid... He carefully lifted Nuo Lei's back, and cautiously pressed his forehead against his forehead. , he felt the change.

Nuo Lei's sea of ​​consciousness was unconditionally open to him. The original barren land turned into a natural beauty, the river meandered through the lush green plain, and a red dragon was quietly lying prone on the shore, hiding its nose under its wings, calmly breath.Ferth's heart was finally relieved, he raised his head and held Nuo Lei's face and kissed and kissed, unable to put it down.

Jin smiled wryly and said, "It seems that you have already confirmed it, then I should also retire after my accomplishments."

"Thank you," Ferth raised his head, hesitated and said, "But I still won't forgive you for the past."

"I understand," Jin's expression became serious, "I have to remind you, be careful of me in the north."

Ferth raised his eyebrows, showing a fearless expression: "Do you think I ever took it to heart?"

"I should have known earlier that this is your character." Jin's figure faded, and he couldn't help murmuring, "Goodbye, my friend."

We are no longer friends.Ferth pursed her lips, but did not respond.

With a sigh of regret, Jin disappeared completely, and the magic circle returned to its usual simple appearance.

West, who had witnessed everything, finally couldn't help shouting: "Did I read it right just now?" He grabbed the knight next to him and asked, "That man is Colin King Wenger?! That old man?!"

"Nonsense! How dare you call this respected magician like that!" Wind Wolf roared dissatisfied.

West said unconvinced: "When I went to Wenger's house to play when I was a child, the old man joked that he wanted to marry me to Inno, so what an old and disrespectful guy..." Forget it if he was a healer, but actually I still know this dragon, so how big is this dragon...?

"This is one of the soul fragments of the archmage. It represents kindness and can help me purify my compatriots." The wind wolf turned around and looked at Fierth, "But it is different in other places, such as the north, where the souls guarding The fragments represent judgment, and he will show no mercy to you."

"I don't need it." Ferth said nonchalantly. He reset Nuo Lei on the magic blanket, stroked his cheek, and commanded with the corners of his mouth raised, "Nuo Lei needs to rest, find a comfortable place Give me."

"This is a ruin! Do you think it's the duke's mansion!" Wind Wolf said angrily, "Shavadin, take them away! Don't appear in Ashabang again!"

"I won't come to this place even if you beg me." Ferth said bluntly, "Warlock, lead the way."

"Um... where are you going?" The warlock asked resignedly to his ancestor's obscene (yin) power.

"The closest place to here." Ferth asked without anger, "Where do you think you're going?"

Where else can I go, only Wagner!
