201. Dragon Knight
The night still shrouds E. Palenque.
For Nonali, today's vigil seemed extremely long.
Just imagine how it feels to look into the eyes of a black dragon. Eyes are the carrier of emotion. For some creatures in nature, the act of staring directly is considered provocation, and he was provoked by the dragon for half a night.
He could feel the anger that seemed to be gushing out in substance, but as a guard officer, he could not give in at this time.
Things were not optimistic, although the black dragon Dakobu remained unmoved and stayed quietly in the sky.
But there is only one hour left before dawn. If not, let the black dragon retreat before then.
Then the residents who wake up will see this black dragon appearing in the sky. It is conceivable that the town will fall into panic at that time, and what is embarrassing is...the remaining magic stones in the Mage Tower can only
It will only last until tomorrow. By then, the bird-like orcs have observed the situation in the city, and the orc attack can be expected.
"It's really terrible..." Nonali muttered softly, but did not let the other soldiers hear.
It's not all bad news. For example, the soldier responsible for informing Miss Elena returned to the queue with Miss Elena.
Nonali hurriedly walked in that direction.
"..I am the guard officer Nonali." He raised his hand and signaled to Elena: "As you can see, the dragon appeared above the barrier of the mage tower. If you don't mind, I want to
Do you know...what is he looking for Miss Elena for?"
"I don't mind... I don't mind..." Elena shook her head hurriedly, and she explained: "That dragon... was called by me."
"Did you call...?" Nonali couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between you..."
Regarding this issue, Elena thought a lot about it on the way here.
But in the final analysis, there is only one answer that does not cause panic and is acceptable to people at the same time.
"Dragon...Knight." Elena held back her face and said such an answer that even she thought was unreliable.
Every dragon knight recorded in the annals of history was already a heroic warrior before becoming a dragon knight. They had the most noble moral character, illustrious voices, and extraordinary momentum. It is because of this that the dragon would choose
In the drama written by the bard, there is a dragon that is willing to be driven by others in order to repay the kindness, but in reality, kindness alone cannot make the proud dragon surrender.
"..Dragon Knight?"
Nonali looked at Elena up and down, with a look of astonishment and arms swinging back and forth, almost verbally rejecting it. Even a soldier who always abided by the rules had such an expression.
However, their denial continued until...Dakob responded.
The proud black dragon suddenly lowered his head. Because it was in the sky, the dragon's head seemed to be looking down.
But no one would doubt the meaning of this gesture.
Is it really...? Nonali's expression became even more astonished, with disbelief flashing in his pupils.
"What did you do?" he couldn't help asking.
"Invite him to a meal..."
Elena made up a sentence, her expression remained natural, and her affirmative tone made people feel that it was an established fact that a slow dragon could be abducted by inviting a dragon.
But? Bullshit facts!
If dragons were so cheap...he would be willing to keep them for the rest of his life.
Even if the meal cost is doubled!
Nonali looked at Elena carefully, just like before, trying to find flaws in her words and expressions, but the fact was... he felt like it was true.
Elena felt calm about this sentence, because she didn't lie. Unlike Joel and Ignar, Dakobu was an outright evil dragon, and her interaction with Dakobu was limited to occasionally giving him
A meal or two prepared by Chef Nockman was delivered.
"Let him in..." Elena added, "It's okay."
The soldiers' reaction was not as light as she said. Nonali looked around and saw that none of the soldiers moved. They stood upright, but there was nothing except their upright posture, like students who were afraid of being asked.
He sat up straight to avoid asking questions. Knowing his background as a soldier, his eyes flashed with despair, and he sighed. It seemed that the matter could only be decided by himself.
With the strength of Black Dragon Dacob, even if he rejects Elena's proposal, he cannot avoid the fact that "he will come in." In this case, why not simply agree to Miss Elena's proposal, at least...
There was someone else who shared the responsibility, and Dakob's behavior was so respectful.
After thinking for a moment, Nonali made a difficult decision, but with a sharp look on his face, he nodded and said: "Follow your instructions."
Nonali struck the wand hard and controlled the mage tower to open the top path. Dacob successfully entered the top of the city wall.
The magic lamp completely illuminated his body, which cannot be described in words. It was like a sharp weapon welded by blade steel, and the layers of scales were like blades spliced together. The mighty body and the lines of the ravines revealed the majestic strength.
Power, the scarlet dragon eyes seem to be stained by blood, revealing the smell of blood. The back protrudes like a mountainous ridge, but there is an edge at its tip. Such a ferocious beast makes people feel frightened.
, even the guards, who have experienced hundreds of battles, trembled at it.
Every step he took seemed to make the solid city wall tremble, and the soldiers couldn't help but raise their spears and sharp blades, aiming at him... to maintain the mental state that was already on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, Dacob lowered his body, and the long dragon head hung down to Elena's side. Flesh-colored scales were exposed on the long neck behind it. It seemed that his relatively weak body was still developing. At the same time, he
He stretched out his paw and stopped next to Elena.
Does this mean... let her go up?
Elena made a judgment and stepped on Dakobu's paw.
After she stood firm, Dakobu moved his paws and placed them on his neck. He moved his wings slightly, and retracted two or three of the protruding ridges on his back, leaving a rough but safe back.
Elena's face looked a little better. At least those sharp-looking things would not hurt her. Before she could completely relax, she felt the eyes of everyone around her. The soldiers, including those who were originally there for her,
It seemed that the powerful Nonali looked at her with admiration, and it seemed that the identity of the dragon knight was gone.
"..Can we leave?" Dakob asked.
In his majestic body, he spoke a submissive voice. He didn't see the pride of all dragons at all. In Dakob's view... He doesn't even have his life in his hands, why do he care about dignity? When his strength exceeds
Now the main dragon is also a teacher. Before Joel, he would not have resisted in the slightest. And Elena, as Joel, obeyed her decision and said that it was not a big deal.
"Yeah." Elena nodded uncomfortably.
Dacob soared into the air.
