Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

"This was made by the craftsman of the smiling hand according to the drawings we got. The real dragon-slaying crossbow is about four times as high. At least three or four strong human soldiers must turn the noose at the same time to pull it apart. There should be one person on the crossbow. It is tall and weighs about [-] kilograms." Sarannar compared the arrow part of the model with his hand, "The craftsman told me that this special arrow will make the crossbow bolt rotate in the air, resulting in greater penetration, while Human beings have already proved in actual combat that they only need to use the more flexible and lighter vehicle-mounted ballista to shoot down the Giant Eagle Knight within the range—as long as they can hit them."

Xuefeng said solemnly: "So the design and manufacture of this crossbow can only be for one purpose, which is to deal with dragons with hard scales."

"Do you know who did it?" Golden Dragon Makaelin asked worriedly.

"We don't know yet. The blueprint was stolen by a thief from the pier and finally fell into our hands. Any kind of people would have it in a place like the pier. Based on the clues we have so far, we can't tell what kind of forces are behind it. Make this kind of crossbow. But one thing is certain, if we don't stop them at source, the survival of the Dragons will face a whole new threat."

Xian Saier sighed heavily: "It's hard to deal with the giant eagle knight in the sky, and now there is a threat from the ground, survival is really difficult!"

"Could it have been made by orcs?" asked a new dragon.

The blue dragon Laisel, who had inquired about orcs in the territory of the orcs, said: "It's unlikely, the orcs worship physical power extremely, and they have never been enthusiastic about military industry, and their smelting technology is very backward. Refined iron is not strong enough to withstand such a pull."

"Since it's not an orc, the only ones who can build this kind of weapon are humans." The elder Silver Dragon Thunder Blade said, "To forge such a weapon, a lot of refined iron is bound to be needed. If the smiling hand can monitor the iron The flow of the mine may be able to find out who is making this crossbow."

Sarannar shook his head: "The Smiling Hand has only been established recently, and the distribution of eyeliner is not widespread enough. So far, there is no sign of a large amount of iron being used."

The red dragon Harlog let out a dissatisfied "tsk": "Tell me, those raw meats are always trying to trick us in every possible way. Anyway, now that Xuefeng has learned the sonic boom technique, other dragons are also working hard to learn it. You should reconsider whether to continue to cooperate with humans."

His words aroused many voices of approval among the dragon group.

"Humans are also doing everything possible to trick each other. They are not working together to deceive us. This race has always been like this." Sarannar looked around the commotion of the dragons and said, "I did not cooperate with humans in the first place. Just to get help from dragon knights, I also want to learn their advanced survival strategies. Human beings have many advantages, and we cannot ignore these advantages just because they are weak or unfriendly to dragons.”

"Forgive me for being suspicious, are you saying this because of your human partner?" The green dragon who was once the leader asked uncomfortably.

There was no anger or dissatisfaction on the face of the questioned Salanar, he calmly explained: "I think you got the order wrong, I became a partner with him because I admire the human race, not because I have him. I’ve only just begun to appreciate human beings, so I’m not so shortsighted.”

"Why can't we avoid humans from a distance so that humans can no longer threaten us?" Sylvia, the green dragon who is raising two children, said worriedly, "Since they are so dangerous, there is no need for us to Take a risk with them."

"I understand your worry about the children, but everyone should also remember that unicorns live in the deep forest, and griffins live in high mountains that are rarely visited by humans. They have not been directly threatened by humans, but they are still extinct. Now, the root cause is that they cannot adapt to this world that is changing faster and faster, and I don’t want dragons to be the next species to become extinct.” Salanal said, “The world is always changing, and we cannot live forever. Instead of following the way of life tens of thousands of years ago, new rules must be learned and adapted, although the process may not be easy."

"I have always supported your decision, but you should also consider whether it is appropriate to bet all your bets on humans?" Yinlong Xuefeng also expressed different opinions this time, "Humans are cunning and dangerous after all. You also know this very well. I don't mind trying to learn and integrate into the way of human existence, but I hope that at least my children can live in a safer place. Since the signing of the Platinum Agreement of Humanity, I I have always felt uneasy, and I don’t know what will happen to the situation in the barren canyon in the future. If they find the cave where the children are, I really can’t imagine the consequences.”

"I understand, and I very much hope that they can grow up safely." This time, Saranar did not refute, "I will do my best to find a safer place for them. But before that, I hope You can do your best to help the smiling hand to find out the origin of the dragon-slaying crossbow and eliminate this hidden danger from the root."

"As long as it is your request, we will definitely do our best, leader." Golden Dragon Makailin was the first to take the lead, "Just tell me, how do you want us to cooperate with those humans?"

It wasn't until midnight that Sarannar returned to his cave, and although he crawled into bed lightly, Silas, who had been waiting for him to return, was awakened.

Through the dim light from the magic crystal, Silas saw Sarannar's expression. He rubbed his eyes and sat up and asked, "What's wrong, you look very unhappy."

Sarannar just smiled: "Do you think you know me well, human?"

"I can't say I know you very well, I just think that you look unhappy." Silas reached out to hug him, "Did something happen?"

Salanar hugged Silas, kissed his hair, sighed softly and said: "Humans created a dragon-slaying crossbow to deal with the dragons, and the dragons are also clamoring to part ways with humans. I am a little discouraged, humans Are you and the dragon doomed not to live in harmony?"

"Why do you think so, don't you see that I get along very well with you?" Silas raised his head and asked for a kiss.

Salanar kissed him shallowly: "We are all exceptions. Among humans, there is no one who likes dragons as much as you, and among dragons, there is no one who likes humans as much as I do."

"...Don't think about those annoying things." Silas couldn't see Sarannar's unhappy look. He thought he should comfort Sarannar at this time, but he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say What would be good, imitating the rogue method Sarannar used on a whim, reached out and pinched the buttocks of the humanoid black dragon.

"What are you doing, wanting to rebel?" Sarannar grabbed his hand, but he was not angry, and there was a smile on his face.

"Then what...to have sex?"

It is obvious that Sarannar flirts confidently and confidently, but Silas always has a little bit of indescribable unnaturalness.

"You took the initiative, don't regret it later." Sarannar turned over and pressed him down with a smile. Silas lay down very cooperatively, and grabbed the black long hair that brushed his face. Fa Fa kissed her lips: "Don't talk nonsense, since I was with you, when did I regret it?"

Due to the impromptu madness in the middle of the night, Silas went to bed later than usual the next day. When he woke up, Sarannar had already gone out, and there was only the new knight in the cave outside. Rick was mopping up the walls.

Seeing him walk out of the dark residence, Harrick stopped what he was doing and said courteously: "Master, you are finally up, let me get you breakfast, although it may be already late It's cold, but I'll ask the kitchen to warm up first."

"Well, where did Sarannar go?" Silas's shirt was only on his shoulders, and there were fresh hickey marks on his neck and chest. He didn't care, scratching his sleepy red hair and asked.

"Master Sarannar went out early in the morning, and he didn't tell me where he was going."

"Hmm..." Silas didn't care. The leader of the Dragon Clan was going out, so there was no need to greet them.

After eating the breakfast brought by Harrick, Silas focused on his own affairs until it got dark again, and Silas, who still hadn't waited for the black dragon to return to its lair, used the mind that was originally used for emergency help Magic, trying to connect to Sarannar's consciousness, asked him what time he planned to come back to sleep tonight.

But unexpectedly, this time the spiritual magic did not get any response from Sarannar.

Saranar had taught him that if the mind magic fails, there are only two possible reasons, either the distance is too far, or one of them has lost consciousness, fell into a coma or died.

Silas was a little worried. Even though he knew that Sarannar was very powerful, and the latter situation was unlikely to happen, he was restless and walked into the cave of Silver Dragon Xuefeng.

Xuefeng can also use the same spiritual magic to connect to Sarannar's consciousness, and because Xuefeng's magic power is completely different from that of Silas, a human being who has just learned magic, no matter how far away Salanar is, Xuefeng can establish contact with him.

Xuefeng's knights didn't dare to stop the titular leader, and Silas saw the silver dragon resting in the cave in the form of a dragon.

"You are not a newcomer who doesn't know much about the Dragon Clan. You should know that it is very rude to disturb the ladies of the Dragon Clan late at night." Xue Feng's voice was still elegant, but there was always a kind of superior indifference, "Tell me , What is it that is so urgent that you have to come to me in the middle of the night like this."

Silas said as politely as possible: "Please forgive my offense, Lord Yukikaze, Sarannar hasn't come back after going out for a day, I'm a little worried about him."

"Oh? So, you need to keep track of our movements at all times to be at ease, Captain Dragon Knight?" There was no expression on Xue Feng's dragon face, but his voice was a little lazy.
