Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

After the initial apprehension and cautiousness, Silas gradually felt an indescribable depression.

"I feel that Salanar is very indifferent to me, as if wishing that I was a piece of air, out of sight." Silas said sullenly to Yelan, "Do all dragons treat their knights like this? ?”

Compared with other dragon knights, Yelan not only served the dragon for the longest time, but also he was gentle, kind and patient, so Silas naturally thought of coming to him when he had troubles and questions.

"Of course, you have to know that in their eyes, we dragon knights are fragile, short-lived, easily damaged tools that need to be replaced frequently. Why should we be passionate about tools?" Yelan scrubbed Holding a washbasin of glass products, he said in a flat tone like discussing the weather, "Don't complain, someone like Sarannar who knows how to use tools economically is already a blessing for tools."

"I'm even more discouraged by what you're saying." Silas help him sullenly put the still dripping glass pendant back in place.

Yelan didn't give him any words of comfort. After washing the last basin of shiny decorations, he held up the washbasin and said, "The craftsmen have repaired the saddle. Come on, I will teach you how to put it on." That thing is tied to the dragon. Although the peace treaty has been signed for more than half a year, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If it is time to fight, you must know how to fix yourself on the dragon's back superior."

"Really, thank you so much!" Silas burst out with the highest enthusiasm in the past few days. Although it was just an exercise, it was the first time that this exercise combined the current cold reality with his dream that was not completely dead. connected together.

"You don't need to thank me. If there is another fight, maybe I have to rely on you for my life."

"Why do you say that? I'm just a rookie who has never been on the battlefield." Silas didn't think it was Yelan's sense of humor. Yelan seemed to be completely insulated with a sense of humor.

"You are indeed a newcomer, but Sarannar is not." Yelan showed a look of reminiscence, "You have never seen Sarannar fight, if you have seen it, you will believe that he can become a The leader of the dragon clan is definitely not accidental."

"So, have you ever participated in a battle?" Silas looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course, more than once." Yelan, who didn't look like a warrior at all, said calmly.

Peaceful days always pass quickly, and Silas sometimes even feels that the life of the Dragon Knight is just like this, neither as glorious and exciting as he thought when he was a child, nor as terrible as he thought when he first arrived If you stop and look back, it is even a bit trivial and plain.

Of course, he has never ridden a dragon. Sarannar is not in the lair most of the time, only occasionally comes back to sleep, has a meal and then flies away. He doesn't know what he is busy with.

But Silas will never be bored again, because he has discovered a treasure trove.In the mysterious abode deep in the caves of Thalanaar, there are a large number of books hidden.Silas, who had been too busy exercising and dealing with his then-hysterical mother to seldom finish a book, could now sit at the entrance of the lair when Sarannar was away, holding It takes a whole day to read a book that comes along, and I even forget to eat several times.

Until one day, when Sarannar came back, he suddenly said to him: "You moved my book."

"...Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was... your collection." Silas was a little nervous, he should have thought of it earlier, that residence was obviously the place where Sarannar lived when he transformed into a human form , although the dragon knights said that Sarannar was a mild-tempered and reasonable dragon, Silas was still worried that he would get angry with himself.

"It's okay, remember not to touch those black-covered spell books on the top of the bookshelf, there are protective magic on them, which may hurt you." The black dragon lay down in the cave, and he didn't open his mouth when he spoke, and his voice was always out of thin air. Appearing, Silas heard that the dragon's mouth shape makes it difficult for them to speak the pronunciation of the Common Language, so they usually talk to humans with the help of magic.Fortunately, this is the case, if Salanar uttered a dragon-specific growl at him, Silas, who was not used to the dragon's power, would probably be paralyzed with fright.

"There are not many people who can read and write among the dragon knights." Salanar actually chatted with him, "Who taught you?"

Flattered, Silas replied, "It's my mother."

"You should be a son of a nobleman. You have a sense of propriety in every gesture that ordinary people don't have." Salanar looked at him with golden eyes.

"Your observation skills are really meticulous. I am a descendant of the Haslan family."

"This is the first time I've seen a noble who came to be a dragon knight." Sarannar said, "Didn't your family remind you that being a dragon knight is easy to die?"

"No, in fact... our family has fallen to the point where we are no different from ordinary people, but my mother is still strict with my words and deeds since I was a child." Silas remembered that his mother once questioned him, if Dragon Knight was really so Bright, why didn't a noble or royal person become a dragon knight?At that time, the young and energetic Silas didn't listen. Now that I think about it, maybe those people at the core of power know that this is a trap wrapped in flowers and glory. It's just that their family is too marginal, so they don't know if this is true. Secret secret.

"... No wonder." Sarannar couldn't see any expression on his face, and asked him after a while, "What are you laughing at?"

"Ah, sorry!" Realizing that he was smirking impolitely at Sarannar, Silas scratched his red hair and looked away in embarrassment, "I always thought you were not very talkative."

"No, usually humans don't want to talk to me." The black dragon's mouth moved, and Silas didn't know if it was a smile.

"Why, isn't it lucky to have the opportunity to communicate with a wise elder like you?"

"Because of fear." Heilong looked into his eyes and said softly, "You don't seem to be very afraid of me."

"No, how could that be?" Silas said shyly, "I grew up listening to your legends, and now I can see the legendary dragon so close, I'm so happy that it's too late."

Silas was delighted to discover that Sarannar was much friendlier than he had previously thought.

When the black dragon knew that the young dragon knight was not afraid to talk to him, he chatted with him several times. Although it was not an in-depth communication, Silas still deeply felt Saranar's erudition and foresight. I admire him, he no longer has the fear and resistance he had when he first arrived, and he is even very glad that he was selected by Sarannar to be his dragon knight, and he has not been shaken by Hills' words.

For the daily work, he also showed a new enthusiasm, and even began to actively think about how to transform Sarannar's cave to make it more comfortable.

One day not long after, Sarannar told him it was time to practice aerial combat.

Silas was so excited that he almost tripped over himself. God knows how many years he had been waiting for this moment?He quickly fetched the saddle and put it on the black dragon quickly. Sarannar was surprised by his proficiency. He didn't know that Silas had practiced countless times on the wooden model before, and the real dragon didn't If you want to ride, you have to use the model to have a dry addiction.

With great excitement, Silas climbed onto Sarannar's back, carefully buttoning each belt buckle, and fastened himself firmly to the saddle from the waist down.This uniquely designed saddle ensures that no matter how much the dragon rolls or dives in the air, the dragon rider will not be thrown away-at least not until the belt breaks.

Saranar waited for him to sit firmly, then jumped out from the edge of the landing platform, spread his strong black flesh wings, and started today's flight with a beautiful glide.

Silas wanted to scream. Is this what flying feels like?It's so fucking cool.The dragon knight's special helmet prevents him from being blinded by the oncoming wind. He can see the scenery of the dragon's peak going away quickly, white clouds slipping under his feet, and the distant ground is paved with thin The rope-like path and the jade-like river are scattered with small pieces of farmland and miniature houses. Farmers who are only as big as ants look up at them from a distance. Silas can almost imagine their novelty and envy. vision.

Sarannar's voice was completely unaffected by the wind, and it rang clearly in his ears: "Don't just enjoy the scenery, pick up your weapons."

Silas finally remembered that they were here to practice air combat and not to go for a ride. He drew out the long spear on his right and the long sword on his left. Dual wielding weapons is a skill that every dragon knight must be proficient in. The long spear can be used to force back For enemies far away, the sword is used to attack enemies who are approaching or even jump on the dragon's back.There is an iron chain at the end of the two weapons to firmly fix them on the saddle, because the dragon knight sometimes faces a huge impact in air combat, and it is very common for the weapon to be dropped. This iron chain can Make sure that you can get back the weapon and continue fighting while the dragon knight is not dead.

"I will use magic to create a few phantoms of giant eagle knights to attack you." Sarannar said, "You have to remember that even if a real orc is pierced by you, he will grab your body tightly Hold on to the musket, but these phantoms will disappear with one hit. Get ready."

As soon as Sarannar finished speaking, three orcs riding giant eagles appeared in the air and rushed towards him ferociously.
