The Defeated Dragon

I thought that just having a dinner with the whole family would end this low-interest New Year's Eve and get rewards.

But in the evening, a surprise came.

Marquis Merlin, long time no see. The person speaking was a middle-aged and elderly man wearing a gorgeous magic cloak, wearing three gemstone rings of different colors on his hands.

They are light yellow, light red and blue respectively.

Mr. Grimandan, why did you come to me when you are not staying in the palace? Marquis Merlin was a little surprised at the other party's arrival.

I come with the blessing of the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke is bothering you, let's get started, Mr. Grimandan.

Grimandan smiled slightly, and raised his hand wearing the three rings high. The next moment, he saw the brilliance on the rings intersecting each other, turning into several beams of light and shooting directly at the almost dark night sky. These light beams are all magic power, bursting suddenly in the air at a height of 100 meters.

boom!

The red light beam burns a large area of ​​flames, like a cloud of flames.

boom!

The blue beams set off clusters of water clusters, churning in the sky like ocean waves.

boom!

The purple light beams bloomed with lightning bolts, interspersed back and forth among the flames and water masses, making a huge thunderous sound.

boom!

The cyan light beam finally exploded and turned into a huge gust of wind, mixing flames, water balls, and lightning into one ball, constantly changing various shapes in the sky above the Taro Castle.

This miraculous scene made everyone in Changyu Castle raise their heads and look at the sky, admiring the magical spectacle. Even the cities in the distance can see the magical spectacle above the Fort of Long Taro, and be amazed.

About a quarter of an hour.

The magical spectacle gradually dissipated, and a few raindrops fell, and everything returned to calm.

Marquis Merlin, I have brought the Grand Duke's blessing. Mr. Grimandan bowed slightly and said calmly.

The Marquis of Merlin returned the salute, with a slightly sad tone: Although it's just a flashy magic show,

But I have received the Grand Duke’s kindness. Thank you Mr. Grimandan for your hard work. Please share the New Year’s dinner with me.

It's not an honor.

Accompanied by the Marquis of Merlin, Grimandan nodded to Messiro and the others again, and entered the Castle of Long Taro.

Here, Liszt has found out the identity of the other party, and Mayopal explained in detail: Grimandan Truth, the great magician enshrined in the court, he is good at the six magics of Fengshui, Fire, Earth, Thunder and Ice, but he is the most powerful What is more important is to research and design magic equipment, especially the magic ring.

The three rings on his hands? Liszt asked again. He remembered that the phylactery he had cheated Curtis Truth was a sapphire ring, and he didn't find anything special about it.

The shape is very similar to the magic ring in Grimandan's hand.

Maybe it's a magic ring.

Mayopal nodded: That's right, they must be three rings of magic power. Using the power of the dragon gem, it is specially designed to amplify the equipment for magicians to release magic power. Because the carvings of magic runes are different, it doesn't matter to us knights Useful, but invaluable to a magician.

Hearing is of little use to a knight.

Liszt couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It seems that Curtis's phylactery and the magic runes on the sapphire ring are also specially carved for magicians. He can't use it, so he can only collect it as a souvenir.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across: Why don't you simply pick off the sapphire from the sapphire ring, scrape off those magic runes, re-carve it, and let someone make a gem weapon? You already have a red blood sword that suits you, so it's best to make it again. A gemstone spear suitable for charging.

He even thought of a name, and he called it the Blue Blood Gun, matching the Red Blood Sword.

As for the phylactery function of the sapphire ring, Curtis's soul was wiped out with the collapse of the ghost ship, so of course it is unnecessary.

However, this sapphire ring is exposed now, will it be associated with something? Besides, can the gems that have been used be recycled?

unknown.

He just had an idea, and soon returned to the restaurant to start the New Year's dinner.

On the dining table, rich high-end food, luxurious crystal tableware, and age-old cellared wine all show the wealth of the Changyu family.

The great magician Grimandan chatted happily with the Marquis Merlin, and from time to time they chatted about some not-so-perverted court anecdotes.

The young people also promoted their cups and exchanged cups, wishing each other all the best in the new year.

The servants kept coming in and out, taking away the plates that were replaced after only two mouthfuls, and bringing in new and darker dishes. The 2-year-old Luo Xi became fussy for no reason, slapping the crystal tableware on the table with her little hands indiscriminately, and fell to the ground and shattered.

The servants of Long Taro Castle cleaned up the damaged tableware with a smile on their faces, and everyone on the table didn't care.

After raising Liszt for a year, he still didn't develop a love for dark cuisine, so he ate very politely, and even sighed in his heart when he was free: The rich wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones.

The luxury of the Changyu Castle, even the crystal tableware can be broken at will.

The price of a piece of crystal tableware may be enough for a commoner to eat black bread for a year.

The backward level of productivity makes it difficult for the common people to eat enough and wear warm clothes. Even the serfs in Changtao Castle, with countless elves assisting in agriculture, will still have a hard time surviving. Although the output in the field will be high, it also means heavy taxes, after all, it is necessary to maintain the life of the long taro castle.

Food, food, clothing, and equipment for armed knights, all the output comes from the cultivation of civilians.

What are you thinking about? Are you distracted? Li Weila sat next to Liszt, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, Are you thinking about your subordinates, such as a mercenary girl wearing a face scarf? Entourage?

After coming to Red Crab Island and recovering from the trauma of being on the ghost ship, Li Weila became interested in Paris again, and often contacted female mercenaries.

Much like recruiting a female mercenary, Liszt doesn't interfere with this, and he loses if he can be recruited.

Hearing this, he gracefully sliced ​​the monster's barbecue, and replied casually: No, I'm thinking about world peace.

Haha. Li Weila laughed, Liszt, I have never realized that you are so humorous.

Liszt also laughed, quite self-deprecating that others laugh at me as crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through: Life should do something meaningful, and the desire for world peace is very meaningful. Of course, we need to understand , it’s best to set a small goal that can be achieved.”

What's your small goal?

Let's say I ride a dragon first.

Haha! Li Weila laughed.

Cousin Russell on the other side also laughed: Yes, I also want to set a small goal, and I also want to ride a dragon.

The laughter startled Grimandan who was chatting happily with the Marquis of Merlin: Who wants to ride a dragon? I can introduce him to the Grand Duke. There is only one dragon in the country living in the Grand Duke's yard.
