Dragoon Sentinel

Corunna, the scenery is as beautiful as before, and the blue coast and the sky are connected to form a harmonious tone.Hali Bazaar is still bustling with businessmen coming and going.

The morning and evening boutique auction shop is full of goods collected from all over the world. The elf boss ordered the clerk to list the goods in order. After finishing everything, he hugged his elbows and sighed, wondering what he was worried about.

"Boss?" A gentle voice interrupted the boss's contemplation. He habitually greeted the visitor with a smiling face. When he saw the face of the visitor, he froze for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression: "It's you! Treasure hunter?! haven't seen you for a long time!"

The elf boss went up to meet him, but soon, he noticed the person standing beside the red-haired young man, with short black hair and golden eyes, exuding an oppressive aura of a predator.Boss Elf's pointed ears quivered, and he took a step back unconsciously.

The black-haired man glanced at the boss blankly, and bit Nuo Lei's ear as if no one else was there, and complained, "Who is he?"

There was a look of helplessness in Nuo Lei's green eyes. He stroked the other person's hair and introduced, "This is the elf boss I met when I first came to Corunna. He is a good man."

"Hmph." The black-haired young man glanced at the boss with disdain, and let out a slight snort.Boss Elf got goosebumps all over his body, and he didn't dare to approach rashly.

"I'm sorry to scare you. He didn't mean any harm." Although Nuo Lei explained sincerely, the elf boss couldn't help but look at the silent young man beside Nuo Lei. The man's aura was too strong. It was more intimidating than the entire knight group pouring into his shop, he took another step back, stood at a safe distance and asked with a smile, "Why do you come here when you have time?"

Norley said as if greeting an old friend: "I just came back from Wagner, so I stopped by to see, how is your business doing?"

Faced with Nuo Lei's concern, Boss Elf was still full of gratitude. He hesitated to say, "It's been fine recently, but... well, I won't know in the future."

"what happened?"

"Do you still have contact with Young Master Eugene?" Elf Boss asked tentatively, "Did you hear about his family...?"

Norley nodded and said, "That's what I'm here for."

"Since you know, then I'll tell you the truth." The elf boss said with a wry smile, "The young master of Eugene's family was carried back to the castle by the knights a while ago, and he heard that he was assassinated when he was inspecting the north. I was seriously injured, and many people said that this was a signal sent by the monster to make a comeback. Alas... I am planning to clear the inventory, tidy up the store, and close the business for a few days."

North?Nuo Lei pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "I see, I'm going to visit them, you should take care."

"You too, I wish you the best of luck."

Saying goodbye to the elf boss, the two walked out of the shop, just as Betisno squeezed through the crowd, holding the reins of the two horses in his hand: "I borrowed two horses from the temple, let's ride. "

"Only two?" Nuo Lei looked at Bettisno, who had gotten back on his horse, and asked in puzzlement.

Betisno tugged on the rein and said naturally, "Can't you two ride together?"

Nuo Lei was at a loss for words, but Ferth beside him gladly accepted his kindness. He got on his horse and stretched out his hand as an invitation gesture, and asked with a smile, "Honey, do you want to ride on horseback or...my on the back?"

Nuo Lei glared at him embarrassingly, firmly held his hand and sat in front of him, and gave a serious warning: "Next time, don't say such imaginative things in front of others."

"Are you thinking about it?" Ferth asked with a smile as he hugged the person sitting in front of him and squeezed his waist.

"gone!"

Forcibly ending the topic, Norley raised the reins, and soon, the two horses shuttled through the market and headed for Eugene Castle.In front of the gate of the ancient castle, the butler had been waiting for a long time, and immediately bowed when he saw them approaching: "You are here, the young master has been waiting for a long time."

"How is West? Is he okay?" Norley dismounted first and asked.

"You'll know it when you see him, please." The steward ordered the servant to lead the horse away and lead the way himself.The three of them stepped into the fairly familiar castle lobby, and went directly up the stairs to the second floor.The butler brought them to Lord Eugene's study, knocked on the door respectfully: "Miss, they are here."

The door opened from the inside, revealing Martha's somewhat tired face. The high-spirited hostess had disheveled hair, black eye sockets, and bloodshot pupils that made people feel distressed. She gently hugged Nuo Lei and pursed her lips. With emotion: "Thank God, you are here, please come in. Butler, go and call the young master over."

"Yes." The butler left in response, and the three of them accepted Martha's invitation and walked into the study.The furnishing of the study is still the same as before. Norley still remembers that the great lord shared with him the origin of the animal blanket.He stroked the soft brown fur, looked back and asked, "Miss, why are you here alone? Where is the great lord?"

"Grandfather also went to the north," Martha said with a wry smile. "He was very worried about the reason behind the elder brother's injury, so he went to the north to inspect it himself. I hope everything goes well."

"How is Your Excellency Disus now?"

"It's not so good," said Martha worriedly. "He's corrupted, and when he comes back he'll be mad, and he won't recognize his dearest brother if he's standing before him. Well, West It breaks my heart.”

"Erosion?" The three of them showed solemn expressions at the same time, "Is it serious? Can you restrain it?"

"I've placed him in the basement, hoping that the arcane power can last for a while." Martha glanced at Ferth, and sighed, "It would be great if big brother could suppress the magic energy like you."

Ferth raised his eyebrows, pressed Nuo Lei's shoulder and said, "If necessary, we may be able to help."

"Thank you," Martha said sincerely. "For the time being, we can control the situation, but the most worrying thing is the situation in the north. Grandpa is very worried that spies from monsters have infiltrated the northern defense line. If that is the case... the consequences will be disastrous .”

"What's the situation in the north now?"

"At the end of the Mallorca War, the portal made by the mages exploded due to lack of stability, directly distorting the north into a void space. In order to prevent this space from spreading, skilled craftsmen of various races gathered together to build an indestructible Castle, we call that place Hacksaw Fort."

Martha added: "Every year, the Mages Association will send mages to maintain the magical defense barriers of the fortress, but relying on mages alone is not enough. The temple and the church will also send different batches of knights and priests to station there to assist Maintenance work. Some time ago, two mages in the Hacksaw Fortress disappeared while investigating the warped space. My elder brother went there to investigate this matter. Who would have thought..."

"Will this be a war?"

"War is inevitable." Martha said helplessly, "it depends on whether we can prepare for it."

Just as Martha was describing the ins and outs of Diesers' accident, hurried footsteps came towards the study.Nuo Lei was the first to turn his head, just in time to see the moment the door was opened.The somewhat embarrassed West stood in front of them with red eyes. He had always kept himself clean and had forgotten to change his robe because of anxiety. He saw Norey couldn't help feeling wronged, and rushed into his arms.

"Norey, my brother doesn't even know me—" West suppressed his crying, tears and snot rubbing against Noley's coat.Ferth gritted her teeth, and even Martha and Bettisno felt murderous aura.He was about to drag him out, but Nuo Lei blocked him back.

"Firth, don't make trouble."

"Let him let you go and I won't argue with him."

"He's in a bad mood."

"I'm not in a good mood either!"

"...Don't make trouble."

Nuo Lei temporarily ignored the black dragon rolling in his sea of ​​consciousness, and patted West's shoulder reassuringly: "It's okay, we will help him get better as soon as possible."

"Thank you," West finally poked his head out of Norley's arms and wiped away his tears, "I'm so lucky to have a friend like you."

Nuo Lei rubbed his blond hair, turned around and said to Martha, "Miss Martha, if you need our help, please do not hesitate to tell us, we will do our best to help, if the situation of Lord Diesus is not optimistic..." Maybe The Ellery Dragon Spear can also come in handy, but I don't know if His Excellency the Knight can survive it.

Hearing Norley's sincere promise, Martha showed the gentlest smile since meeting him: "Don't worry, Duke Wenger has already set off for Augustine, west of Corunna. I believe there will be news soon."

"Augustine?"

Martha explained: "That is the territory of the elves. I heard that there is an elf saint who can expel evil spirits. Duke Wenger is trying to invite him here... Ah, look, what do you say, Wenger The Duke has news."

Martha turned around and walked to the desk, and clicked on a shining blue light ball. After a while, the blue light beam spread out from the sphere, and the figure of Duke Wenger appeared like a projection.

"Martha," Duke Wenger nodded towards Martha, and immediately discovered the existence of Norley and the others. He said without any surprise, "You are here... West, why are you holding on to the treasure hunter?"

Duke Wenger frowned, showing disgust in his words, West blushed, he didn't know whether to take the hand on Norley's arm, he retorted angrily: "It's none of your business, you can find someone How's it going?"

"Let go of me first, and then we'll talk about what the young master of the Eugene family looks like."

"Okay, stop arguing," Martha hurriedly smoothed things over, patted his little brother's head and whispered, "Let go, look at Your Excellency Long over there, he can't wait to chop off your hand for cooking."

West was too busy arguing with Duke Wenger, and forgot that Ferth was a bigger threat. He withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and apologized to Nuo Lei submissively, but when he turned his head, when facing Duke Wenger, he He couldn't help choking again: "Okay! Tell me quickly! My brother is still waiting for help!"

"The Holy Lord has been found, but the Elf Holy Lord can't leave the forest. We have to send Diesus here." Speaking of this, Duke Wenger couldn't help but look at Nuo Lei, and asked with a half-smile, "I wonder if Your Excellency Treasure Hunter has time to do us this little favor?"

"You asked Norley to send my brother to Augustine?" West asked in surprise.Duke Wenger put on the posture of a superior, and said disapprovingly: "Martha can't leave the fortress, did you let me come?"

Hearing the belittlement in his words, West became irritable again: "What do you mean by that, am I so unreliable?"

"Okay, let me ask if you two can calm down for a while." Martha pulled the hopping West, turned to Norey guiltily, and sincerely asked, "I'm really sorry, you just came back from Wagner, no Do you know if you can..."

"Of course," Nuo Lei agreed without hesitation. "If it wasn't for you, Ferth wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Let us repay your kindness this time."

Martha had mixed feelings, and regardless of her noble status, she bowed deeply to Nuo Lei: "Your character is really admirable. Just like what West said, it is our honor to have a friend like you."

"Forget about being polite," Ferth finally grasped the initiative to monopolize Nuo Lei, he put his arms around Nuo Lei's waist and said grandly, "Let's take a rest, take a shower, have a meal, and replenish our equipment. Then start again."
