Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

Less than an hour after Harrick was taken away by the dragon clan, the butcher Sakar ran to Silas and said madly: "Are you crazy?! Harrick is now the royal family of Testara, and he is also The hostage that Testara pledged to us, if something happened to him, how would you ask His Majesty the King to explain to Testara?!"

"But he—as well as Prince Alistar behind him and the entire Testara, may be related to Sarannar's disappearance." Silas's voice was strangely calm, "Anyway, the dragon The death rate of knights has always been high, if the dragon accidentally kills him in the process of extorting a confession, you can tell the public that he accidentally fell off the cliff."

Butcher Saka's facial muscles trembled, and he looked at Silas as if he was looking at some novel species: "His Majesty the King should have told you that the military intelligence department will take over the search for Sarannar, and you don't need to ask again gone."

"Yes, he said so." Silas said flatly.

"But you still have to do this, you...too irrational."

"I really can't be as rational as you, Lord Saka." Silas suddenly couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and he said fiercely, "As a dragon knight, my dragon suddenly disappeared. As a man, I The life and death of my lover is unknown now, how could I give up the search so 'sensibly', and wait for all the dust to settle before shedding a few tears of condolence?"

"No one intends to just give up and stop looking, but can't you leave the professional work to professional people?" Butcher Saka's tone was also very unfriendly, "Searching for Sarannar is the task of the Military Intelligence Department. Why are you following the dragon clan to join in the fun?"

"You know that those people from the Military Intelligence Department will definitely find nothing, because some people would like him to disappear just like this." Silas waited for his past officer, "Even you wish he would never Come back, won't you?"

The butcher sneered: "What do you know, a hairless kid? I was his first dragon knight. When I fought side by side with him and beat the giant eagle knight in the sky, you were still playing in the mud in your crotch pants Woolen cloth!"

"Really? He never mentioned it to me." Silas was indeed a little surprised, but then he used a mocking tone, "Then why doesn't he want you anymore?"

"Because what he wants is a slave who is wholeheartedly loyal to him, like you. And I always know who I am, or what I am." Saka, the butcher, had an uncomfortable sneer on his face, " After the first espionage incident, all the dragons wanted to drive away the redundant knights around them, leaving only one, and he kept the most obedient one without hesitation. As a result, I have lived until now, and I chose The dragon knight who blindly followed him has died long ago, not even a single bone remains."

"Are you proud of it, Lord Sarkar?" Silas squinted at him, his eyes full of contempt.

"Only the living are qualified to say honor or not. What is the meaning of honor to a pile of forgotten bones?" Saka sneered, "You think you are very honorable? Do you know other dragons How do knights talk about you behind your back? A flattering servant who sells his ass in exchange for glory and wealth will become a homeless dog once he goes under the protection of his master, so he wants to find his master back like crazy Come."

Silas had to grit his teeth so hard to keep himself from losing control, so that the masseter muscle bulged out. The butcher Saka looked at his junior with pity, and said coldly: "Recognize the reality Come on, boy, have you slept with a dragon and thought you were a member of the dragon family? Don't be stupid, you are a human being until you die. Now His Majesty just wants to maintain stability, even if Sarannar is gone, He will not revoke your position as honorary leader, but if you make troubles in the entire Dragon Peak in order to find your master who may have turned into ashes, you will not only lose your current position as honorary leader, Maybe there will be more unexpected results."

Silas took a deep breath, and his voice was terribly calm: "You think I'm trying so hard to find him just to keep my position as the leader of the Dragon Knights?"

"Could it be because he can't bear to spend time in bed?" Saka said with a sarcasm.

As if Silas didn't hear his sarcasm, he still said calmly: "When every dragon knight stepped on the top of the dragon, he swore to be absolutely loyal to his dragon and dedicate everything to the dragon. Including this flesh and blood body, you must have made the same oath once, but obviously, the oath is nothing more than lip service to you, and you don’t need to take it into your heart. You are such a person A cowardly, extremely selfish bastard who prides himself on being greedy for life and fearing death in front of power, has the face to say that the spirit of Dragon Knight is 'bravery, dedication and sacrifice' in front of us younger generations? Why do dragons distrust more and more Humans, why Sarannar is working so hard to maintain the relationship between humans and dragons is getting worse every year, because there are too many bastards like you who treat oaths as farts among humans!"

The butcher Saka slapped the table, and said angrily: "Idiot who is overconfident, why are you pretending to be arrogant here? Open your short-sighted eyes and see for yourself. This is how the world is. Yours Master, as a dragon, is more awake than you, knowing that if you don’t adapt to the rules of the game, you can only be eliminated by this world.”

Silas let out a breath slowly, and said in a voice as light as a sigh compared to a butcher: "If this world is like this, then I would rather choose to be eliminated."

After coming out of the butcher Saka, Silas went to the lair of the silver dragon Xuefeng again, and he saw Harrick curled up in a corner of the lair, sobbing, and kept saying "what am I?" I don’t even know”, “I’m innocent”, “I didn’t harm Lord Saranar” and so on.

Silas looked at Xuefeng with questioning eyes: "Can you believe what he said now?"

"Are you doubting my ability to extract a confession?" Xuefeng said, "This person really doesn't know anything. I think we have gone in the wrong direction again. The disappearance of Sarannar has nothing to do with Testara."

"Master, please spare me!" Harrick rushed over and hugged Silas's leg, crying, "I really don't know anything!"

Silas sighed and said to him, "Go back and stay."

Harrick ran out as if fleeing for his life. Silas saw that he moved quickly and had no injuries on his body. He really didn't know what Xuefeng had done to him to scare him like this.

Xuefeng said anxiously: "I still haven't considered it thoroughly enough. The new lair that Sarannar wants to find will definitely not be the one in Testara. Prince Alistar and King Heather are both of the same type. It makes no difference whether we live in Testara or Andorcia."

Silas understood the meaning of the words: "So, you think Sarannar was looking for a new residence without human beings, but encountered an accident during the search?"

"Now I can only think so." Xuefeng said with a sigh.

"So, we have no clue now." Silas sat down on the stone bench, his eyes were empty and his tone was blank, "He just disappeared, didn't tell me anything, and left no clues. Down."

Xuefeng’s mood is also very low: “Maybe it’s because none of us can understand his efforts to learn from humans and get closer to humans, and always question him. Gradually, he doesn’t discuss anything with us. He only told us what he was doing when he needed our help."

"He's a failed leader, isn't he? I haven't seen any leader who can busy himself like that." Silas actually smiled on his face, although his eyes were full of sadness.

Xuefeng looked at the expression on his face in surprise, as if recalling some good time gone, and called out the human name for the first time: "Sylas..."

Silas turned his head and looked at the sunset outside the cave as it fell to the horizon, leaving only a golden afterglow at the junction of the distant mountains and the sky. His voice sounded more sad than heartbroken: "It's been three days... we You can't find him anymore, can you?"

"Don't be so pessimistic, it's only been three days." Xuefeng comforted him, but Silas didn't seem to hear anything, stood up and walked out like sleepwalking, and didn't bother to say goodbye to Xuefeng.

Day after day passed, Sarannar's hope of surviving became more and more slim, and Silas became more silent and gloomy. He mechanically went back and forth between the Dragon Summit and his home, watching the dragons gradually give up. Searching, and watching the smiling hand find nothing day after day.

Yehelena, who already knew that Salanar was missing, came back to see him once, with a look of unconcealed joy and more worry, she kept persuading Silas to listen to the king's words, and don't make it even worse in the end. Everything she got could not be kept. For the first time in her life, Silas threw the cup in front of her and became furious. Yehelena stopped persuading, looked at him as if she was looking at something unreasonable, and then said nothing. and left.

That night, Silas, who hadn't slept well for days, had a dream.

He watched Saranar's back getting farther and farther away, and he desperately wanted to catch up, but countless hands around him were pulling him.

The king said: "Give it up, you will have status if you give up him."

Mother said: "Give it up, you will have family affection if you give up him."

The butcher said: "Give it up, you will have a reputation if you give up him."

There are also countless voices persuading and promising him endlessly, as if giving up the pursuit, he will be able to own the whole world.

Silas exerted all his strength to break away from the hands that held him, but in just a short while, Sarannar's back was completely hidden in the darkness, no matter how anxious he shouted and tried his best He ran all over the place, but he couldn't catch up and couldn't find him.
