Dragoon Sentinel

"How to raise dragons?" West kept pacing back and forth, saying incoherently, "No human has successfully raised dragons, even if they are hybrids or other subspecies of dragons, but I know they hardly need to eat, but It requires a lot of energy, and different dragons have different energy requirements, my God... I have to look up the information."

Seeing West wandering back and forth between the desk and the bookcase, Norley suddenly felt that the young blond priest was very serious. He cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a solution." Besides, the dragon egg is buried in the ground It has been more than 100 years, and it is not known whether it has become a fossil.

Just as Nuo Lei finished muttering, the dragon egg lying quietly in his hand suddenly moved, unceremoniously poking his palm with the protruding thorns on the surface of the egg shell, following its furious revenge, the red The fire of life reflected brilliance from behind the eggshell, and swam around the egg.

Okay, don't be angry, I know you are still a lively kid, okay?

Nuo Lei jokingly poked the dragon egg to show comfort, the dragon egg accepted his apology, and lay obediently in his palm and stopped making trouble.At this moment, West, who was in deep thought, suddenly called out, and said on a whim: "I thought of it! Do you want to try it with Holy Light?"

Holy light is the sacred energy of human belief. If giant dragons really feed on energy, then holy light might be in their recipe.

After thinking about it for a while, Norley thought he could give it a try.According to West's theory, this dragon egg "eat" more than a hundred years of elemental power when it was buried deep in the Meditation Valley. The "taste" of elemental power and holy light should be similar, right?

"Give it a try." Norley agreed without hesitation, West immediately cleaned up the sundries on the desk, and waited for Norley to put the eggs on the table.

Everything was ready, he walked over eagerly, spread his fingers to hold the dragon egg, took a deep breath and recited the holy words.A faint golden light rose from his palm, wrapping the dragon egg warmly.The golden light outside the egg shell of the dragon egg became more and more intense, and the color of the fire of life flowing on the egg shell became more and more brilliant.

At this moment, something unexpected happened, "Boom—" sparks exploded in West's hand, causing him to fall to the ground in fright, and a black, black hole was instantly burned on the chest of the expensive robe. holes, and the ends of his limp blond hair were burnt, and he could smell it when he sniffed.He stared dumbfounded at the slightly shaking dragon egg, and shook off the holy light covering the surface as if in disgust.

"What the hell is going on?!" The self-proclaimed well-bred pastor burst out with dirty words, "Is this really a dragon egg! Why did he reject the Holy Light!"

"Probably... not to your liking?" Norley, who was also astonished, saw Wester's eyes about to eat the "egg", and quickly took the flamboyant dragon egg back into his hand.

How could West accept such an absurd reason? Regardless of his scrapped robe, he stood up and stared at the dragon egg with an unfathomable expression, and squeezed out a voice through his teeth: "Humans, elves, and dwarves in the world, even Even the orcs will not reject the blessing of the Holy Light, there is only one kind of creature that will be an enemy of the Holy Light, and now they are all on the other side of the northern distorted space, do you understand what I mean?"

Norley fell silent. He understood the reason for this situation, and West obviously knew it now—the dragon egg was eroded, and because of the erosion, the dragon egg and the holy light became incompatible.

Seeing that Nuo Lei remained silent, West took a deep breath and said, "Listen, Nuo Lei, this dragon egg has been corroded by magic energy. Such a dragon egg can only breed puppets used by monsters. If it is given a chance to grow up, it will become the culprit in destroying the land of recovery! Do you understand?"

"I understand." Nore pursed his lips, unconsciously maintaining the motion of stroking the dragon egg, "but I promised Father Ed to protect it and purify it one day."

"Purification? Easier said than done." West said disapprovingly with a straight face, "Do you still remember your state when we entered Candin Town through the portal? That was erosion, if I hadn't used holy light to block the magic Yes, I'm afraid you have become a monster who has lost his mind."

Nuo Lei opened his mouth dumbly, a little dumbfounded.He really wanted to explain to West that his state was not erosion, but a precursor to Sentinel's sensory overload mania. Although the symptoms of mania were similar to erosion, they were really not the same thing.

"West, I understand your worries, even if you don't believe me, please believe in Papa Ed, he used his fire of life to slow down the erosion of the dragon egg by the magic energy, although the holy light can't do anything , but there's always another solution, isn't there?"

Nuo Lei carefully cared for the dragon egg, looked into West's eyes earnestly and begged: "It is the last dragon egg in the land of recovery, please give me some time to try to save it?"

West was a little shaken. He also knew that the dragon clan had lost its blood, and this egg was the last hope.Hope... West muttered the word in a daze, and asked without thinking: "Hey, is this egg from the Meditation Valley?"

Norley nodded without hesitation, and West hesitated even more, frowning and thinking: Could it be this dragon egg that his grandfather mentioned in his letter? Does his grandfather know about the erosion of this dragon egg?Should I give it to my grandfather to have a look before making a decision?

Seeing that West did not respond for a long time, Norley couldn't help but sighed. He looked at the egg in his arms and said with determination: "If you don't agree, I'm afraid our journey together will come to an end. I will figure out a way to purify it myself."

"Wait, when did I say that I disagree?" West, who had finished a round of thinking, interrupted him, hugging his elbows and said disdainfully, "If you, an illiterate, are tricked into signing a contract of prostitution, you will have to wait until the end of the day." How can you protect the dragon egg? It’s better to have me watching than to let you wander around outside alone.”

Nuo Lei was stunned for a moment, then smiled sincerely, "Thank you, and also, do I look so easy to deceive?"

"Who made you illiterate? Let's talk about it after you can read Mr. Quan Iron Spear's map manual." West was worried about the dragon egg's behavior of rejecting the holy light, and couldn't help teasing, "But this dragon egg doesn't eat. Shengguang, I really don’t know what he can feed on.”

Nuo Lei laughed hoarsely, and asked flatteringly, "Is there really no way? You have read so many documents well, there will always be one or two clues, right?"

West was flattered by the compliment for a while, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I really don't know what he wants to eat, but... I thought of a crystal mine that I saw on the map just now on our way back. It's not impossible to see..."

"Really, that's really nice."

Seeing Nuo Lei's relieved smile, West's heart trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't look directly at Nuo Lei's bright smiling face, and deliberately put on a frightening face and said, "I'll take you to the guest room, how about it?" Follow me!"

Nuo Lei has gotten used to his character of being sunny and cloudy, and followed his footsteps with a smile on his face.He once again saw the powerful spatial pattern of the magic tent, and a simple guest room appeared in front of him.

After being a mercenary for so many years, lying in the sand and squatting in caves, and standing guard without sleeping is also common. This time, he was able to sleep on a soft bed when he was sleeping in the wild, and Nuo Lei was indescribably pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you, Mr. Reverend."

"Call me West." West pouted, staring at the dragon egg in his arms and said, "You have to keep an eye on it, and don't let it make any trouble."

"I will, good night, West."

West couldn't bear Noley's smiling face, and hurriedly left the room where the guest room was.Nuo Lei closed the door and stretched his waist with the egg in his hand.

It may be because of the magic space. The room is very quiet and there is no movement from the outside world. For Nuo Lei, this is a dream environment for resting. His senses will not be exposed to the noisy atmosphere, and there will be no unnecessary noise. pressure, which reduces the chances of mania.

"It's really a good thing." Nuo Lei lay sprawled on the bed, holding the egg in his hands and couldn't help thinking, "I will build a magic tent like this one by one in the future, so that even if I don't have a guide, I can do it myself. Find a way to adjust your mental strength."

The dragon egg "heard" his heartfelt voice, and the scarlet pattern flowed on the eggshell.Nuo Lei, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice anything unusual. When he lifted the egg high above his head, the dragon egg returned to its original shape.

"Little guy, I'm going to bed, you stay in the storage bag, good night." Nuo Lei solemnly ordered and then stuffed the dragon egg back into the storage bag, and he put the storage bag next to the pillow, confirming After taking a few shots, I closed my eyes with confidence.

Nuo Lei fell asleep quickly, and his breathing rhythm became long after a while, and the storage bag under his palm wriggled unsteadily for a long time.Nuo Lei vaguely sensed the change in the storage bag, frowned, stretched out his arms to fish it out, and hugged the bag and the egg in his arms. The dragon egg calmed down and leaned against his chest quietly. Only the red The fire of life is still faintly shining, reflected on Nuo Lei through the storage bag...

Nuo Lei felt a little hot, so he wiped his forehead with his hand. A breeze brushed against his forehead, and a strange fluffy feeling rubbed against his cheeks. It took him a long time to realize that the soft feeling came from his own arm.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and was surprised to find that his hands had turned into wings. He lowered his head to examine his body, and all he saw were fluffy snow-white feathers, and a pair of orange-red claws were hidden under the fluff.Nuo Lei rubbed his beak against the flying feathers with some headaches, thinking strangely: Am I dreaming, why did I become a psychic one?

Norley rarely dreams, and it is even more bizarre to have such realistic dreams.For sentinels and guides, dreams are reflections of the spiritual world, often with strong omens, but no one knows whether the omens are good or bad.

Forget it, let's try to see what's going on.Nuo Lei hopped to adapt to his "new body", flapped his wings to adjust his body balance, staggered and stopped, and after a while he mastered the correct flying posture, flapping his wings and flew lightly into the air.

The novelty of flying dilutes the uneasiness generated by the dream, and he flutters his wings fluently, flying across the scenery in the dream smoothly.

He looked down at the ground, and the landscape on the land was strange and beautiful. The red cedar forests grew vigorously along the coast, and the bright red and the blue of the sea contrasted with each other, and the colors were magnificent and full of vitality.

Flying all the way along the coast, an unknown hill appeared in front of my eyes, and the rust-colored mountain was as thick as blood.Nuo Lei vigorously flapped his wings and sprinted up against the mountain wall. The white mist penetrated his body, bringing a hint of coolness.

When he crossed the top of the mountain and overlooked the basin surrounded by mountains, the small open space was completely occupied by a giant lying prone. The huge bat wings were gathered on both sides of its body and hung softly on the ground. The dark hard scales reflected the midnight like dark blue.

Nuo Lei flapped his wings and flew around its long neck, and suddenly stopped in the air. A huge head beyond his imagination appeared in front of his eyes. Its eyes were closed, and its nose was hidden behind its thick claws. , From time to time, there was a snoring sound.

This is... a dragon?

Why do I dream about dragons?

Nuo Lei looked at the huge monster in front of him with some trepidation, and quickly flapped his wings and flew away from the dragon's surroundings. The moment he turned around, the dragon opened its eyes.

Nuo Lei became nervous inexplicably, the oppressive feeling that could only be experienced in the Valley of Meditation pressed on his wings, causing his flight path to become erratic.He flapped his wings vigorously, but his body was still falling uncontrollably like a kite that had lost its string. At this moment, the sound of tearing the air came from his ears, and the black bat wings spread from behind him, instantly covering the sky and the earth .

Nuo Lei's eyes darkened, and he looked around at a loss. He turned his head, and suddenly found that the amber vertical pupils, which were bigger than his body, were staring at him without any scruples, and his figure was reflected in its translucent stone-like eyes. In the pupil, it is as small as a particle.

The moment their eyes met, Nuo Lei's mental realm kept boiling like boiling water, and he even forgot to keep maintaining his body's balance.Just when he was about to throw a dog to eat shit, the black dragon tail swung over, caught him firmly, and rolled the tail to the front.Nuo Lei kept his tail up, lying on the dragon's tail, and sent it to the dragon's mouth.

What a painful dream this is...

Nuo Lei closed his eyes, and when he was about to become the dragon's lunch, the dragon's tail flicked again, throwing him into the air.Nuo Lei rolled uncontrollably in mid-air, and landed on the Dragon Kiss in a daze.

He shook his head, unable to look directly at the amber eyes that were close at hand, and turned his head in embarrassment, the Dragon Kiss under him trembled, and let out a cold snort.

"Think I'm going to eat you?"

can it hear? !Norley was so shocked that he forgot his fear and looked directly into the dragon's eyes.

"In my eyes, you are like an ant, and you can't get enough between your teeth." The dragon narrowed his eyes, revealing his white eyelids, and his expression looked more dangerous than before, "But...although it is insignificant, it belongs to me. .”

What's the meaning?Norley tilted his head inexplicably, the whole bird was made of wood.

"Remember your master's name, mortal." The dragon's heavy breath steamed up from under Norley, warming the skin under his feathers, "My name is Herofells."
