Dragon Valley deep in the ice sheet

Sitting blankly by the lake, Luge looked at the emerald green water in front of him.Two days ago, the first rain of the year fell on the ice sheet. The torrential downpour, which was not at all like the spring rain, swept across the Kavos Mountains swiftly, completely washing away the haze brought about by the war, and taking away those terrible things that would attract The blood stained by disease and disaster also gave the clansmen new hope.With this rain, the dry rivers will flow again, the prey will increase, and the trees in the mountains will bear more fruit... Ruger knows the benefits it can bring, but he still stubbornly believes that the rain Just like my own heart, just to mourn the lost dragon.

Silver Frost is dead.The white dragon who had accompanied the giant dragon tribe for nearly a thousand years died.

Ruger has just experienced the death of his father and grandfather. He has begun to understand the meaning of sacrifice and protection, and he is also trying to accept the pain caused by death, but this blow is still far beyond the limit he can bear.That's a giant dragon!A dragon with an almost infinite lifespan.He thought he could spend the rest of his life with this dragon, just like his ancestors had experienced for generations.But now?It didn't even wait for that last hope...

The boy closed his eyes in pain, and forced back the tears in his eyes.Now is not the time to be sad, he told himself solemnly.The rain two days ago had finally woken him up to another responsibility of his.In the small lake in front of him, there are still many dragon eggs hidden, not dead dragon eggs, and now there are no dragons to guard them... Hold on to the blue gem hanging on the silver chain, Ruger Gritting his teeth, he suppressed the throbbing pain from his heart.It's okay, he's still here.If necessary, like the previous patriarch and his grandfather, he would use his life to inspire the formation in the lake and protect the last hope of these dragon clans.He can do it!

At this moment, the calm lake surface suddenly stirred up ripples, the emerald green lake water seemed to be boiling, the water splashed all over the shore, and even the bottom of the lake gave off a glistening blue light.The boy was startled and jumped up from the ground.What's going on here?He walked quickly to the edge of the lake and looked at the lake in astonishment, only to see that the lake water inside was fluctuating so violently that something seemed to be crawling out.Luge was startled, and plunged into the lake.He remembered what Yinshuang once told him...

Today's lake water is not as cold as in the past, but has become warm and viscous, and even the visibility has been reduced a bit. A small vortex has formed in a corner of the lake bottom, hovering as if being stirred by a huge force, bringing There was a stream of heat.Ruger was so familiar with everything at the bottom of the lake that with just one glance, he saw the source of the commotion.Eyes widened in excitement, he swam towards the vortex with all his strength, and there was a bright red dragon egg directly below it, but it was completely different from other dragon eggs. Spread over the shell.

Ruger rushed down, picked up the dragon egg vigorously, and pushed it to the bank.Although this lake can slow down the invasion of time and allow the dragon eggs to live longer, but in order to prevent the harassment of those evil dragon people, the formation has also made some restrictions on the real dragon blood.Therefore, before the outer stone shell of the dragon egg is completely broken, it must be transferred to the shore to ensure the safety of the whelping dragon.

For an adult, moving the dragon egg should not be too much of a problem, but for Ruger, who is only ten years old, this task is completely arduous.The egg was almost half as tall as him, like a piece of hot charcoal, which made his whole body ache, but the boy did not give up, put his shoulder on the bottom of the dragon egg, and pushed the egg up with all his strength. the shore.

Holding his breath for a long time and exercising vigorously made Ruger lie weakly on the shore, unable to move for a while.But the fluctuation of the dragon egg didn't stop. Luge still clearly remembered what the old dragon had said.The young dragon's strength is not yet strong enough to break the egg shell, and generally requires parents to gently pat the dragon egg to hatch safely.But now?Where are there other giant dragons... He propped up his body with all his strength, walked to the side of the dragon egg with difficulty, and lifted up the sharp stones he picked up on the bank... One click, another, accompanied by the dragon egg itself Jumping, the young man hit the hard eggshell with a rock vigorously, his heart seemed to twitch and tighten along with the movement, almost praying to some unknown power with all his body and mind.

Come out.I beg you.Come out! !

A crackling sound came from the surface of the eggshell, and then another, a burst of dense rain-like crackling sounds, and finally the egg shook and snapped into two halves.

His knees softened, Ruger knelt on the ground, and the rocks he held tightly in his hands rolled out.He opened his eyes wide in a daze, staring at the wonderful scene in front of him.Among the broken eggshells, a small bright red dragon was crawling wetly in the egg liquid. It looked more than twice as long as the dragon egg that contained it, and it was four and a half feet long with the tip of its tail. long.Four big and soft claws scratched the ground, struggling to support his body.But this little guy's head is too big, it seems that it is not easy to grasp the balance, always wobbly and unable to stand up straight, even the pink wings are trembling slightly, making an embarrassing sound consisting of chirping and quacking.

Luge watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, and approached the little guy very, very slowly. While it was looking down at its own tail, he put his palm on the top of the young dragon's head.It is very warm, and when you touch it with your palm, you can feel a fresh and lively force hitting your palm. The young scales are smooth and soft, like the finest cloth.Ruger was going to quickly withdraw his hand just by touching it, but he couldn't hold back.As if feeling the touch, the little dragon raised its head curiously, staring at the human in front of it with its button-sized ruby ​​eyes.After a while, it turned its head and got rid of the boy's touch.

Ruger felt a sudden embarrassment.He seems to have done something wrong. Although this young dragon looks young and cute, it still belongs to the dragon family and has the dignity of a dragon. He shouldn't take advantage of it's weakness and helplessness... The young man froze. I saw the little red dragon with its head turned sideways sniffing his frozen hand with the tip of its nose, and then sticking out its tongue.The tip of the forked warm tongue touched his palm, like a small, soft sun, licking his skin leisurely.

It recognized me, it liked me... A strong throb filled the boy's chest.

"You know that I protected you, right? You know that I touched you at the bottom of the lake, right? You...you will stay by my side, right?"

The boy's voice was trembling, his eyes blurred quickly, and he blinked vigorously, but the tears still flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.He is not dreaming, a new dragon is born, the first one, he will see many more dragons in the future, and he can continue to accompany this magical race until the end of his life... Yinshuang, have you seen it?

With tears all over his face, the boy hugged the little dragon tightly and held it in his arms.The little dragon struggled hesitantly, looked at its hard claws, then at the boy's arms, and finally leaned on the boy's shoulder obediently.

In the emerald green water of the lake, there are hundreds of dragon eggs and magic circles reflecting each other, shining with the brilliance of life.

Due to carrying the remains of the green dragon, Hong Ming and the others traveled much slower, and it was already a week later when they flew to Dragon Valley.When the corpse that controlled the giant dragon fell from the sky, Hong Ming and Saen frowned at the same time, and saw a red young dragon that was more than a foot long fiercely rushing towards the boy standing by the lake.

With a wave of Hong Ming's sleeve, the little dragon was swept up by a gust of wind and fell to the side.Sann had already jumped off his sword and stopped in front of the young man.

"Stay back, kid. Stay away from that red dragon." The dagger shone coldly in Sarn's hand. Even a young dragon is still extremely dangerous to human beings. Among the five-color evil dragons, they like to eat human young ones the most. Cub of the red dragon.

"Wait!" Ruger anxiously grabbed the dark elf, and at the same time shouted at the little dragon who spit out a small ball of flames angrily, "Wait! They are not bad people! Neither is this little dragon! You found the Dragon God, didn't you?" ? It’s a baby dragon just born from the bottom of the lake!”

"Dragon? Where is the white dragon? Why did you stay with this red dragon cub? It should know the habits of five-color dragons!"

The boy's hand stiffened and slowly dropped down. "Yin Frost died, seven days ago, suddenly..." He paused, then raised his head abruptly, "But the spark was born four days ago! I pushed the dragon egg up from the bottom of the lake myself, it's not Bad dragon, it just wanted to play with me!"

Hong Ming carefully looked at the little dragon with its teeth and claws in front of him for a long while, and finally said, "It's okay, I don't think the little dragon has any intention of harming anyone, but rather wants to protect the boy. It's just that the white dragon passed away seven days ago, isn't it the same as the green dragon? Together……"

Glancing at Saen, both of them had hidden worries in their eyes. They thought they just need to deliver the green dragon's body and return the dragon ball to the white dragon, but they didn't expect it to fall into eternal sleep with the green dragon. Now the dragon god It has been born, and the dragon eggs in the lake may face hatching one after another, but there is not even a single adult dragon...

Sarn put away the dagger, stepped back slowly, and looked at the red dragon vigilantly, only to see that it rushed towards the young man unscrupulously, protected him behind him, turned around and flicked its teeth and flicked its tail at him, couldn't help it. Zhu also showed a wry smile. "This is the Dragon Valley of five-color dragons..." He shook his head lightly at Hongming, "All five-color dragons are evil dragons, they are cruel and cunning by nature, red dragons like to prey on human cubs, green dragons like to eat elves, others Some are either violent and violent, or greedy. They are too powerful and arrogant, and any other race is just their plaything and prey."

"No! They are not! Yinshuang is not!" The boy retorted fiercely, "I have known Yinshuang for a long time, and there are still sparks!" He hugged the dragon's long neck tightly, as if wanting to protect it Like, "They're not as bad as you say they are!"

"Really?" Sarn raised the corners of his lips, "How many dragons have you seen in your life, child? Or, even if these two dragons like you, how can you guarantee that they will not harm your people? Dragons are not animals that humans can domesticate, they are neither docile nor obedient, and each one is a creation of the chaotic evil camp. This race will not make any changes because of your wishes."

The young man looked at the dark elf angrily, but he didn't know how to refute.In fact, he knew it. His father had severely scolded him and warned him not to be too curious about Bailong.Because of the tribe's beliefs, he'd heard many, many dragon stories, mostly bedtime tales of treasure and destruction, full of evil and danger.However, he promised Yinshuang...

Seeing the boy's tangled expression, San frowned, "Think carefully, this is not something you can decide on your own wishful thinking."

After saying this, San looked at Hong Ming, "What should we do now?"

Hong Ming looked at the boy who was holding the young dragon, and then at the corpse of the green dragon not far away, "Anyway, let the green dragon go to the ground first."

"Do you want to bury it? Together with the white dragon?" There was no sign of the white dragon in the Dragon Valley. Sarn looked towards the dragon cave in the distance. If there were no accidents, the white dragon's body should be there.

"It should be so." After speaking, Hong Ming lifted the body of the green dragon again, and walked towards the dragon cave together with Sarn.

Staring blankly at the backs of those two people, Ruge felt his heart was in a state of confusion, Sparks' warm body was leaning on him, and his long tail was wrapped around his calf.He likes Yinshuang and Sparks, but he has not forgotten the disaster that his tribe experienced before.Should he continue to take on the responsibility of guarding the dragon eggs?He didn't even know if he could afford to raise a dragon. If this one became a group, how would the clansmen choose?He is not very old, but he is not stupid. He understands the practical significance of what the dark elves said. He...

"Uh, can I...can I pet this dragon?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the young man's contemplation. He raised his head, only to see the dwarf who was about the same height as himself standing in front of him, with longing in his big brown eyes.

"I mean, it's a wyrmling! Wow! This is the third dragon I've ever seen in my life! A real, legendary dragon! I'm really curious, its scales feel like Do I think the same? That cool and slippery feeling..."

"It's not..." The young man paused, "You can't... no, I'm not sure..." A little away from the young dragon, the young man looked at the red dragon hesitantly, and asked cautiously, "I don't think he's fine. Malice, to make him... I mean, just touch it?"

The young Xiaolong tilted his head and looked at the boy, as if he was seriously considering this question.Not long after, it exhaled a hot snort and lowered its forehead.

"Wow! Wow! It agreed, right?!" The Kender exclaimed excitedly, carefully stretched out his hand, and quickly stroked the top of the young dragon's head. "It's hot! It's hot! I thought... God, this is amazing!" Reluctantly retracting his little hand, Welby said in a voice full of jealousy, "You're holding a dragon , God, you are so lucky!!"

The sincerity of this statement cannot be questioned.The boy felt a choke in his throat, and his heart beat violently.Beside him, Spark shook his head, and rubbed the place where the kender touched the young man's face, as if trying to wipe off the kender's smell, the already strong and powerful tail slapped the ground, appearing So carefree.

He hugged the coquettish young dragon vigorously, and the haze in his heart seemed to be swept away.Yes, there may be countless people living in peace and happiness on this continent, but only he can stand with these legendary creatures.Does he crave security?Need to think deeply about those distant things?Actually not, he is the son of the dragon tribe, a human being who made a contract with the dragon, his destiny guides him to meet and accompany these legendary species, he likes these powerful and dignified creatures, and is willing to protect them Give your life.Compared with the dragon, his life is too short, and he just wants to make this short life more meaningful.

Patting Huo Huo on the forehead, the boy showed a smile. "Come on, Spark, come with me to meet Yinshuang, you should meet it..."

The dragon cave was still dark and cold, but now the white dragon's scales no longer shimmered, and there was only a flickering ball of light floating in the air in the cave, emitting a little silvery cold light.In the middle of the huge cave, Luge saw his own dragon, the white dragon with its eyes closed.Aging is vividly reflected in it, but neither time nor death can erase its dignity.Beside it, curled up the body of a green dragon, a little smaller than the white dragon, more dilapidated and shriveled, the years have done more cruelty to it, but it can't erase its proud serenity.Two dragons curled up in the center of the cave, one left and one right, their huge heads almost touching each other, and countless dragon eggs surrounded them, like a circle of offerings made of rocks.

The young dragon let out an uneasy cry, this was the first time it saw its own kind after birth, but the smell of death made it frightened, it rubbed the boy's arm in confusion, and asked him with his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, Spark." Ruger touched it, suppressing the tears rolling in his eyes, "It is Silver Frost, that white dragon. The one beside it is just a nightmare. They have guarded you for many years together , They finally found a way to continue the dragon family, so you were born. It delivered you and those dragon eggs to me, and I will protect you..."

"Have you figured it out?" The dark elf's cold voice echoed in the cave, "An adult dragon will occupy a mountain within a hundred miles, those eggs will hatch into hundreds, and after a thousand years, the entire ice field will be occupied by the dragon. "

"Thousands of years ago, there were far more of them than now, weren't they?" the boy replied calmly. "They should have been a prosperous race, and they didn't have to worry about a few hills at all."

"But you are powerless to protect them, your tribe cannot raise so many dragons, and they will even bring you disaster. Baby dragons are something that is worth coveting for any mage and other powerful people, especially when they have no adult dragons. When guarding." The voice continued, like a harsh torture.

"But I can do my best, and I can give my life for it. I promised Yinshuang, this is a promise, and it is also my destiny. As for the clansmen, I will tell them everything, maybe some people will choose to leave, but I believe There will be people left who will stand behind me and stand behind me like a father and a grandfather."

"Is this your decision?"

"This is my decision." The boy replied firmly, his clear voice echoing in the huge dragon cave.

"If that's the case..." Another voice spoke, and with this voice, the ball of light floating in the sky slowly fell down and stopped in front of the boy. "Take it, maybe it will protect you, and these young dragons around you."

Looking at the bead carefully, Luge realized that the light he mistook for cold light just now was actually just the green light emanating from the green line in the center of the bead, and behind the bead, there was a golden dragon figure engraved.

The little red dragon retreated a little in fear, and lowered its head towards the bead, as if to express its submission.

"This dragon ball contains the main soul of the Dragon God. With it, no dragon should be able to harm you."

The young man stretched out his hand and took the ball in his palm, "Dragon Ball...it's made of silver frost...it wasn't..." His hand was shaking slightly, and he could barely hold the dragon ball.

"They condensed it with their lives, and if you want to inherit their will, this thing should belong to you."

The boy held the dragon ball tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.Even he knows how precious this orb is. It will become a sacred object of the dragon tribe, it will become the link between them and the dragon, and it will also bring new hope and an opportunity for survival to the entire dragon tribe.

"But the main soul of the dragon god here will perish one day, and the giant dragon may also perish with its disappearance. This is also an irreversible fate."

The teenager glanced at Spark beside him, and showed a tiny, fearless smile. "But not in my lifetime, and not in its lifetime, right?"

&&&&

Standing by the flying sword, Hong Ming looked down at the Kande who was rubbing the hem of his clothes, "Do you want to stay?"

"Yeah, if I miss this, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life." The Kender replied very sincerely, "I can help that child take care of the dragon together, maybe even adopt a baby dragon, They seem to grow into real giant dragons in just a dozen years. I mean, they can ride... cough, no, they are the size of adult dragons tens of meters. I want to stay and watch these giant dragons with them When he grows up, he also needs help, right?"

Sarn almost couldn't help rolling his eyes, he really didn't even have to guess about the small thoughts of the Kender.

Hong Ming didn't mean to ridicule at all, he looked at the Kande for a moment, smiled slightly, took out a bead from his sleeve, and handed it to the Kande. "The young man has a jewel, and you should have one too."

The Kande took it curiously, "What is this? It looks pretty!" The bead was round and shining with a cyan luster.

"Our people call it the 'water-avoiding bead'. It is a rare treasure born in the deep sea. It can be used for people to walk underwater without being urged. If you need to enter that lake, it may be much more convenient to use it."

"Wow! That sounds amazing! Thank you!!" Without hesitation, the kender stuffed the beads into his arms and showed a big smile.

Hong Ming couldn't help but also smiled, this trip, without the help of Kande people, would not have been so smooth, this small thank you can only express my heart.

"So what about you? Do you want to continue traveling?"

"Naturally, I still need to find other lost artifacts."

"It seems a bit of a pity..." Welby sighed with some regret, "Traveling with you is so interesting. But like the kender saying, you can't choose two directions at the same time, there must be a correct one— — or more interestingly — the road is yours. But come back to me if you need help!"

"Oh, of course, we will." Sann pulled out a very hypocritical smile, successfully stopping the nagging of the kender. "Is it time to hit the road? Hong Ming."

Shaking his head slightly, Hong Ming drew out the flying sword and stepped on it together with the dark elf. "Then I will say goodbye here, and I hope you will cherish it."

"Good luck to you too!" The Kender waved happily at them, watching the figure leaving quickly, he suddenly remembered something, and shouted loudly at the two backgrounds, "Oh, I forgot !Although that dark elf is annoying, I wish you happiness!"

The flying sword escaped so quickly, Hong Ming stood on the sword, and looked at Saen's shaking eartips with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

Sarn showed a slight smile, and sat cross-legged on the flying sword, "Actually, the Kenders are not that annoying."

Hong Ming looked at him for a moment, then showed a faint smile, "Yes."

"Then where are you going?"

"I don't know either. But if there is a destiny, we can find the next target."

"Yes, follow the guidance of fate."

The sky on the ice field was cloudless, the setting sun was hanging low, and the sky was as blue as washing. Riding golden flying swords, the two fled into the distance.

The author has something to say: (Extra)

The Chronicle of Heroes at the Ornes National Museum

Eye of the Dragon:

The diameter is 15cm, the whole body is round, white in color, with a dark green stripe representing the dragon's eye in the middle.

The Eye of the Dragon is the only surviving dragon crystal. It was unearthed in the depths of the Kavos Mountains, in a sealed dragon lair less than 200 kilometers away from Wyrmrest Valley.According to the data, this dragon crystal contains the soul of the dragon god, which has an extremely strong influence on the dragon clan, and is also a symbolic sacred object for the end of the heroic year.

At the end of the Age of Heroes, an army composed of barbarians of the ice field and five-colored dragons once destroyed most of the countries in the Oren world, and even affected the dominance of the Santani Empire in the southern continent.In order to resist the invasion of the dragons, a large number of high-level knights and the only remaining mages joined the battle, but the first battle of the dragons ended with the defeat of humans, and the barbarians and the dragons once obtained the domination of the mainland.However, with the rebellion of Red Dragon Spark and some other dragons, in the second battle of dragons, dragon slaying guns and dragoons emerged as the times require, and the remaining humans used the influence of dragon eyes on dragons to reverse the battle situation , and finally defeated the dragon alliance.With the end of the second dragon war, the entire dragon family disappeared in the official records of Oren. The last record of the appearance of a dragon comes from an unofficial history in 2490 AD, nearly a thousand years ago.

The Great Dragon War is one of the most far-reaching wars in the history of Oren. It marks that legendary creatures such as knights, mages, and dragons, which are far beyond human power, have officially withdrawn from the stage of history, and the era of heroes has ended. The age of mankind has come.
