Chapter 985
The schedule in the next few days became very quiet, and there was no silhouette in the empty Floating Void City meeting room.
The silent little wizard hides in the laboratory alone, busy with the miniaturization of the "Jiao lightsaber";
Lu Sien in the cell is seizing all the time, in Isaac With the help of elven female warrior, learn and master the power of the "Warrior Way";
Loren, who has not healed, continues to recover his body while rebuilding the broken spiritual palace;
Fort Count provoked all the trivial matters of the entire team and was responsible for the process of the entire evacuation team;
Brandon was responsible for whispering to the giant dragon Mirasis and Grum, to please them in their respective "A few beautiful words" in front of the elders...
Under the silent Floating Void City, the number of teams is getting tired every day, dragging the stomach rumbling with hunger's body to follow closely. Under the banner of the iron crown, there was silence and depression.
The situation of the riots in East Sacrament is far worse than Brandon and Loren imagined-from not reaching the border of Sacrament to near the middle of the territory, almost every day can encounter the incarnation of robbers Deserters and refugees whose homes have been destroyed.
For those who want to join the team, Brandon will not accept them; as for deserters who are trying to resist...there is no need to dispatch an army at all, they are already weak the moment they see the giant dragon.
In this way, with a snowball-enlarged team, Brandon and his party continue to move towards the goal; every day, the wind and snow and the frozen ground under their feet are telling The arrival of their severe winter, and the distance between them and the northern border mountain.
Finally...they finally reached their destination in the morning when the wind and snow gradually subsided and the sun could finally be seen.
Jufeng Mountain.
The territory of the giant dragon.
Since the first generation of the Sackland Empire-or, when the ancient kingdom was still in the age of the ancient kingdom, the giant dragons who came with the married Queen Brunhild have got this dead The volcano and the surrounding mountains and forests serve as their territory.
So in a strict sense, the leader of Giant Dragon Race is also one of the "vassals" of the emperor, and the title should include at least "Lord Jufeng Mountain"; it's just that the so-called name and The title on a giant dragon is purely redundant.
In return for the "confession", the giant dragons also assumed the responsibility of defending the Kingdom of Sackland and the Empire, as well as the Imperial Family of Desalion.
They made a promise, but all the direct descendants of Queen Brunhild will get the opportunity to communicate with the giant dragon and even reach a contract; once the contract is reached, the giant dragon will serve one. "Desalion" until he or she passes away.
The fourteenth generation has never been cut off.
Relying on this "promise", the Desalion family was able to rule the entire empire and become the highest Imperial Family above all ancient royal families, just as their banner-the rough iron crown was three times The head of the giant dragon is lifted, so that it can rise into the clouds and overlook all living beings.
But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the power of the giant dragon that the empire can be ruled. Maintaining the relationship with the giant dragon has become the most important mission of each generation of emperors;
Even if the emperor is a dragon rider, he must protect and increase the number of dragon riders in the Imperial Family as much as possible to ensure that these terrifying Great Desolate Giant Beasts can still remember that they are the bloodline of Queen Brunhild , Keep in mind the promises they have made.
Brandon and the Loren entire group stood on the edge of the retaining wall of Floating Void City, staring at the towering mountains, their trance expressions were slightly tranced.
The red sun of Dongsheng is completely obscured by the peaks. All you can see is the afterglow and the clouds dyed golden; like a gorgeous ribbon, it wraps the mountains.
There is just a small problem that needs to be solved...
"This Jufeng Mountain is so steep, how can I go up?" Isaac raised his eyebrows with an inexplicable look. , Pointing to the almost vertical mountain wall: "Couldn't we have to climb up little by little, I don't know how to climb!"
"Of course." He passed by. Brandon Lazily's voice: "Because they can't climb, giant dragons choose Jufeng Mountain as their territory."
"Why?" Isaac looked up surprised.
Without waiting for him to ask, the screaming wind had already blown in place, and everyone on the Floating Void City had to lean against the retaining wall to prevent themselves from being blown off.
When they look up again, in the sky shrouded in smoke has two more shadows-the giant dragon Mirasis and Grum with open wings, flying vertically towards Peak of Jufeng Mountain.
"This is...why." Breathlessly, Brandon hiding behind the retaining wall burst into a smile: "Because Jufeng Mountain is the domain of the giant dragon, and soaring is only for Privileges of giant dragons."
"So their territory, must be built on Peak that mortals can’t reach!"
The black hair wizard gave a chuckle and looked thoughtfully at it. Mountain top hidden in the clouds.
"But you still didn't tell me how we should go up!" Isaac was taken aback, swallowing, said ill-humoredly: "I repeat, I will never climb!"
"Uh...there are two ways." Brandon with a smile on his lips shrugged, and his right hand raised two fingers: "The first method is the same as my dear Mirasis. Let's sit down. Floating Void City flies up vertically."
"Although Jufeng Mountain looks quite high, it is also relative to the East Sackland Plain-the altitude should not be as high as that of the Dwarf Kingdom. Cloud Peak; since the Floating Void City can volley over the Peak, it will definitely be able to fly over Jufeng Mountain."
"But doing so will definitely offend the giant dragons, right? "
"As expected of my great wizard adviser, I guessed it all at once!" The unassuming prince gave a thumbs up, showing red mouth and white teeth:
"If we dare to fly up, those big guys won't care who the people on this Floating Void City are, ten thousand percent will knock us down!"
"So we only I can use the second method to climb all the way up." Ignoring the black hair wizard who rolled his eyes beside him, Brandon shrugged: "Of course, there is no need to climb, because Jufeng Mountain does have a path from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain."
"Small road?" Isaac's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
"Yes, it's the same as you think-it is a direct line of the Imperial Family of Desalion. Future generations, accept the trial path of the giant dragon, otherwise how did we meet the giant dragon back then?"
Speaking of this, Brandon, who was originally a relaxed and comfortable face, changed his smile A little stiff: "Of course, this road is not easy to walk, so... I mean, you better prepare yourself."
"On the way, it may not be safe."
Huh?
A not-so-good premonition emerged in everyone's minds.
…………………………
Floating Void City slowly landed beside a rock near the foot of Jufeng Mountain, and the accompanying team was also stationed here
p>Originally, three Legions were stationed under Jufeng Mountain all the year round, but because of the fall of Eboden and the chaos of the situation in East Sacrament, the three Legions had long since been transferred and disappeared; Brandon and his party They immediately occupied the army camp left by them as a temporary rest, waiting for the return of the prince and the duke.
And after a quarter of an hour, the Loren entire group finally came to what Brandon called the road of trial—or, in front of a cave.
"It's here."
With a certain emotion and a hint of pride, Brandon who took a deep breath turned around with his arms akimbo, looked towards the front The crowd-Loren, Isaac, Ain, and Lucien.
"First reminder, because I have only walked this road once; therefore, what we will encounter this time, we will only know when we enter." Shrugged, the prince used a special "bachelor" "According to the tone:
"And according to the tradition of the De Salion family, people who have walked this way in the previous generation will not tell the next generation of their experiences."
>
"Why?" Lu Sien asked vigilantly: "For the results of the trial?"
"There are certain reasons for this, but it is not the most important." Langdon laughed, his tone suddenly became mysterious: "The most important point is that everyone who walks this way has a very different experience!"
Different?
Before everyone understood what he meant, Brandon had already turned around and walked in, the silhouette disappeared into the dark within cave.
Looking at the nervous or worried eyes cast by him, the black hair wizard shrugged and smiled at everyone: "Let’s go."
" Go and see what the giant dragon's territory looks like."
took a deep breath, and everyone stepped into the entrance of the cave.
The first thing that came into the field of vision was naturally pitch black.
Without even thinking about it, the three wizards in the entire group immediately raised their wands and released a "Firefly Spell". The tragic white light illuminates the area within two steps beside them.
"Ai, it’s convenient to have a wizard." Brandon’s ridiculous voice came from the front: "At the time I came with Connold Imperial Brother and Ms. Fitronay. At the time, there was only one torch."
"Of course, my respected Connaught Imperial Brother had not experienced trials at all and was sent directly to Dragon Lair on the top of Jufeng Mountain; and The only torch was handed over to my dear sister!"
"I guess it’s because some guy got the torch and he was going to leave others behind, so let’s run away first, right?" On the ground, the black hair wizard couldn't help but opened the mouth and said.
"My dear wizard advisor, how can you slander people out of thin air?!" Brandon immediately retorted, his voice sounded like something wronged:
"I think about this kind of thing at most, how to do it-that's my dear sister!"
Forcibly resisting the urge to roll his eyes again, Loren shrugged. Can pretend not to hear and continue to climb forward.
Within cave is very dark and very cold.
It is not the severe cold like the glacier wasteland, but another kind of bone-to-the-bone cold, as if even the consciousness has been frozen in the cold wind.
The road within the cave is more spacious than he imagined when he came in. Apart from the stone steps under his feet and the water droplets above his head, he didn't even feel that he was in a semi-enclosed cave at all.
The road under your feet is very flat. If it weren’t for "Transcendence Perception", Loren would not even be sure that he was climbing all the way up. It was not like a mountain that was steep to nearly 90 degrees vertical. the way.
At least, it definitely doesn't seem to be natural.
Brandon, who is familiar with the road, walks at the forefront of the entire group, humming a little song constantly in his mouth, and the torch waving in his hand flashes and flashes, ensuring that everyone behind can see he.
"Be careful, everyone must make sure that each other can see each other-especially if you are here for the first time. If you run into a giant dragon alone or become something, I don't make sure you are foolproof."
Brandon’s voice came from the light source of the torch again: "As long as you can’t see it once, you may never see it!"
"What do you mean? Could it be that there is something here? It’s a special trap, but why didn’t I feel the slightest empty reaction?" Isaac shivered very nervously:
"And what else do you say besides giant dragon—what is it?' What else', there are things other than giant dragons on this mountain?!"
"I don't know, I'm just a reminder." Brandon was very mischievous and laughed, and his tone suddenly became solemn. A little bit: "After all...not every Desa Leone has a chance to come back alive..."
"dong!"
A staggering sound came from behind, interrupted The voice of the prince; the black hair wizard turned his head abruptly, without the slightest hesitation grabbing the silhouette that was about to fall.
"Ain!"
"I'm fine!"
Feeling the force coming from the wrist, the little wizard turned red, gritted his teeth and crawled Get up: "It's just that the soles of the feet slipped down, nothing at the worst."
"Then be careful, don't slip anymore." Loren chuckled, pretending not to notice that Ayin's was red. Cheeks: "Pay attention to your feet, don’t get up too fast."
"I’m not the arrogant Isaac, I don’t need to remind twice about the same thing!"
Some dissatisfied lightly Snorted, the little wizard patted the dust and stood up: "Go away, or if the arrogant finds that we are behind, it will start to be verbose again."
"Well, but I think he is very It may have started to be long-winded..." Loren twitched at the corner of his mouth, looking back at the firelight behind him.
Then...
Nothing!
It’s just a blink of an eye. Lu Sien and Isaac who originally followed them have disappeared without a trace; even under the strengthening of "transcendence perception", not to mention footprints, Loren even left or exists. No trace of the past can be found.
It's like...from the very beginning, they didn't come in together.
Wait, if that's the case, it wouldn't be...
Loren, who suddenly thought of something, immediately retracted his gaze and looked up ahead.
Sure enough, there was nothing.
Without a word, Brandon who was walking in front has disappeared.
The atmosphere of dignity and doubt gradually spread around the two.
In the dark cave, countless pairs of eyes seem to be lurking, staring at them from all directions.
"Loren..."
"It's okay." Gently comforting the panicked little wizard, Loren shrugged: "This is probably...that the giant dragon prepared for us It’s a trial."
"Let’s go, I can’t let the carefully prepared master wait for our guests for too long."
"Hmm."
Ai Yin, who was nodded hard, stood up calmly, and walked into the depths of the cave with the black hair wizard.
