Chapter 159 Dragonborn (The Elder Scroll OL is not fun at all)
When Duanmuhuai and his team arrived at the sentry tower, it was too late.
The entire sentry tower was burned to pieces, with gravel and wreckage everywhere, and there were still blazing flames on the ground.
"Damn it, it seems we''re late!"
Seeing this scene, the captain of the guard bit his lips and his face was pale. And at this moment, a guard poked his head out from the ruins of the sentry tower and waved to them.
"Hey, come here! That dragon is still nearby!"
"Are you the only one still alive?"
Seeing the survivor, the guard captain breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, while the guard nodded.
"That''s right, the others were caught by the dragon while running away... Oh, **** it!"
However, before he finished speaking, the guard''s face suddenly changed, and he stared at the sky with wide eyes in surprise.
“It’s coming again!”
Accompanied by the shouts of the guards, everyone looked up and saw a giant dragon flying from the sky with its wings flapping its roar like thunder.
Seeing this scene, the captain of the guard hurriedly raised the bow and arrow in his hand.
"Everyone should be careful! Prepare bows and arrows and attack!"
Although they were afraid of the dragon in front of them, the soldiers immediately became hiding and launched an attack on the dragon. They bent their bows and arrows and shot them at the dragon, but these arrows were completely unable to penetrate the dragon''s scales - well, this is natural.
"Mr. Knight, this dragon doesn''t seem to be the same one we saw before."
An looked at the dragon curiously and asked, and Duanmu Huai nodded. It is indeed as An said, although this dragon is also very large, it is still a little smaller than the previous black dragon. And its body is white, not black... Well, although I don''t know what''s going on, since it appears in front of me, there is only one solution.
“Kill it!”
With Duanmu Huai''s order, everyone immediately began to act. An raised his hands high, and soon, a huge magic circle appeared above the dragon''s head, followed by a purple thunder thunder and directly hit the dragon. The dragon obviously could not withstand the bombardment of the thunder. After a wail, it fell directly to the ground.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai, Luo Lena and Gureya also rushed towards the dragon in front of them in three directions.
"Roar——!!"
The dragon falling to the ground was furious when he saw someone trying to attack him. It opened its mouth and aimed at the people in front of him. The flames flashed in its **** mouth. However, before the dragon could spray out the flames, Aoji Si held his hands and pulled them hard. The next moment, the dragon''s head was directly pulled to the side by the invisible silk thread. At the same time, the flames ejected from its mouth also passed by the three of them and flew away.
But the dragon obviously won''t stop there. Unlike the dragon in Regnis, the dragon here has two front paws and wings fused together, looking like huge bat wings. At this moment, facing the upcoming attack, it hurriedly raised its front paws and hugged its head, and at the same time, the wings connected to the front paws spread out, blocking everyone''s front like a shield.
However, this level of defense has no effect at all.
“Drink ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Faced with the obstruction of the dragon, Lorena held up the Holy Book and waved it down with force. The thick temple directly hit the dragon''s front claws and arm. With a slight "click", the extremely strong dragon''s arm immediately bent in an impossible direction like a piece of terrible wood. The strong impact force even made the dragon make the dragon scream deafeningly.
However, this is not over yet.
Just as the dragon''s figure flashed, Gureya rushed past it like a cheetah. Her right hand, which turned into a dragon''s claw, easily cut the dragon''s wings and teared it in half like a piece of paper.
The dragon, which had lost its two front paws, fell heavily to the ground again. When it raised its head, all it saw was a heavy hammer flashing with thunder.
“Boom!!”
Duanmuhuai''s thunder heavy hammer fell from the sky, smashing directly through the dragon''s head, completely smashing its head in half from the middle. It was like a stone splitting like a hammer smashed, and for a moment, blood and flesh splattered, and brain matter was overflowing. The huge dragon''s huge body twitched suddenly, and then there was no response.
The cooperation between Duanmu Huai and others can be said to be seamless, from the appearance of the dragon to the point where it was killed, it was less than a minute. Seeing this scene, all the guards behind opened their eyes wide in surprise, unable to believe what they saw. They originally thought they would have a tough battle with this terrifying dragon, but they didn''t expect that in front of these adventurers, this dragon was defeated so easily? !
"Sure enough, this dragon is very weak."
Looking at the corpse of the dragon in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded and couldn''t help but sigh. Compared with the black dragon that appeared in Heergen before, this dragon is not that powerful, and it has not used the dragon roar with mysterious and strange power. At least in Duanmuhuai''s view, this is just a very ordinary dragon.
However, just as everyone was about to get close to the dragon''s corpse and see what was going on, suddenly, a wonderful scene happened.
The corpse of the dragon lying on the ground suddenly burned. Then, countless lights flew out from the dragon''s burning corpse, as if attracted by a magnet, flew towards Gureya. In the blink of an eye, Gureya enveloped it.
“Gureya!”
Seeing this scene, An suddenly screamed, hurriedly ran to Gureya, looking at her uneasy.
"Are you okay?"
However, in the face of An''s inquiry, Gureya did not answer immediately. Instead, she closed her eyes, as if she was immersed in some aftertaste. After a while, she opened her eyes again and looked at An and smiled.
"Don''t worry, An, I''m fine."
"But that dragon...you..."
An turned his head and looked at the corpse of the dragon. At this moment, the dragon had only a skeleton left, and no one knew what happened to the dragon just now.
However, Gureya''s words were shocked by everyone.
"I... seem to have learned to roar the dragon."
"Why?"
Hearing Gureya''s words, everyone was stunned and looked at her in surprise. Gureya also turned around and looked at a huge rock not far away - it was originally part of the whistle tower, but now it was lying in the grass, just a huge stone. Facing the stone, Gureya took a deep breath and then...
“———!”
With a roar, everyone saw a powerful wave of air emerging from Gureya, hitting the stone directly and knocking it away.
"Why??!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Although it is different, it is indeed very similar to the dragon roar made by the black dragon they encountered in Helgen before.
But...Why did Gureya suddenly learn it?
Just as everyone was unable to touch their minds, a guard came over. He looked at Gureya in surprise, unable to hide his surprise.
"I can''t believe it! I''m... the dragon descendant..."
"Hey? Me? Dragonborn?"
Gureya was also stunned when she heard the guards'' words. When facing Gureya, the guard nodded vigorously.
"You probably don''t know that among the oldest legends, when dragons still exist in the sky, the dragon descendants will kill them and seize their abilities. Didn''t you do that? Have you absorbed the power of the dragon?"
"This...I..."
Faced with the guard''s inquiry, Gureya didn''t know what to say for a moment. She is indeed a mixed race between dragons and humans. It is not unreasonable to say that she is a dragon descendant, but can she gain its power by killing the dragon? Gureya never knew that she actually had this ability!
"You couldn''t make a dragon roar before, but now it''s OK, right? This means you are a dragon descendant."
“That’s right!”
At this moment, the other guards next to him also spoke excitedly.
"My grandfather once told me the story of dragon descendants! Those people are born with dragon blood, just like the ancient Taber Seputin! According to legend, dragon descendants can kill dragons and seize their power, and you must be dragon descendants!"
Speaking of this, the guards turned their attention to the guard captain.
"What do you think? Iriles?"
"Hmph."
"You''d better not say anything to what you don''t know. This dragon is dead. This is the only thing we can be sure of, that is, the dragon can be killed."
Speaking of this, Yiriles first glanced at Gureya, and then turned her eyes to Duanmuhuai.
"I don''t know much about the Dragonborn, but I''m glad you''re fighting with us. I''ll clean up the aftermath here, you''d better go back to Baiman City immediately, Lord Balguff will want to know what''s going on here."
"OK."
Duanmu Huai put away his weapons and then looked at Gureya, who was also shocked at the moment. Obviously, Gureya never seemed to have thought that she would have such bloodline and power - well, she didn''t know it was natural. According to these guards, the dragon descendants needed to kill dragons to obtain their power... But...
"It''s strange. When we went to destroy Favna, we also killed many giant dragons, but why didn''t Gureya absorb their power at that time?"
An obviously thought of this problem too.
"Maybe it''s because of the different types?"
Duanmuhuai still remembers that the four-legged dragons on the side of Regnis and Favna are all four-legged dragons, while the dragons on this side have front paws that are similar to bats and fuse with their wings. It is likely that the difference is caused by different types?
"Anyway, let''s go back first."
On the way back to Xueman City, Gureya didn''t say a word. After all, this was indeed a considerable impact for her. Although they wanted to comfort Gureya, everyone didn''t know what to say. In this way, they came to Longxiao Palace and reported to Lord Balguff about the dragon''s attack on the sentry tower and the killing of the dragon.
After listening to Duanmuhuai''s report, Lord Balguff nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. It seems that what is said in the letter is true. You really have the ability to repel and kill the dragon. It''s unimaginable..."
"It''s just that this dragon is too weak."
Duanmu Huai shook his head.
“The dragon that attacked Heergen is much stronger than this dragon. This dragon has no other particularly powerful place except flying and fire-breathing.
"There is nothing particularly powerful... Hahaha, for us mortals, just being able to fly and spit fire is already terrible. I really can''t imagine what the kind of dragon you are talking about would look like."
Lord Balguff shook his head with a wry smile, and then he looked at Gureya.
"So... she is a dragon descendant?"
"That''s what the guards said, but in fact we are not sure."
Duanmuhuai spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
"So, I want to ask for advice on the Dragonborn..."
“Someone is more suitable to talk to you about this than me.”
Speaking of this, Lord Balguff paused.
"Did you hear the call of graybeard just now?"
"We did hear a loud noise just now."
Duanmu Huai did not hide it. Shortly after they stepped into the gate of Xueman City, they heard a huge roar in the sky, and even the ground began to tremble under the roar. At that time, it was indeed shocked everyone and thought that the dragon was attacking again.
"That is the call of the gray beard, the master of the Dragon Roar Way, they are isolated from the world and live at the highest point of the throat of the world."
"If they can use Dragon Roar, does that mean that those people are also dragon descendants?"
"I don''t know this."
Lord Balguff shook his head when Duanmuhuai''s inquiry.
"But if that lady was really a dragon descendant, they would teach her how to use her talent as a dragon descendant. The previous dragon roar was the summoning of the gray beard. They were summoning you to the Hogarth Peak... I really didn''t expect that since Taber Seputin was summoned, this kind of thing hasn''t happened again in almost hundreds of years."
Speaking of this, Lord Balguff looked at Gureya.
"You''d better leave for the Hosga Peak as soon as possible. No one can refuse the summoning of Graybeard. This is an amazing honor. But today, you should have a good rest. I will prepare the best room for you. Please don''t be polite. This is the reward that the dragon-slaying hero should receive."
Lord Balguff also did what he said. He provided the best room for Duanmuhuai and his group and the unique food of Xueman, of course, rewards were indispensable. After working hard for a day, everyone was exhausted and quickly went to the guest room to rest.
The next day, when Duanmuhuai got up, the others were already waiting for him outside.
"Really, Mr. Knight, you''re too slow."
"Sorry, sorry."
At An''s complaint, Duanmu Huai smiled and then looked at Gureya. Gureya was still in a bad spirit at this moment. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she didn''t sleep well last night.
“Gureya, have you decided?”
"I...I don''t know much."
Gureya seemed a little hesitant about Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, and at this moment, An suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands suddenly.
"By the way, Mr. Knight, I actually happened to have a proposal."
“What proposal?”
"I suggest, how about we act separately?"
"Split up?"
“That’s right.”
An nodded.
"I discussed it with Lorena. It''s so big here. If we investigate it together, it would waste a lot of time, so I think we''d better take action separately."
"Since you said that, you obviously have a goal?"
"Of course, I plan to go to the Witch Academy in Winterburg, and Lorena will go to other cities to investigate the situation about the Nine Holy Spirit faith."
"Are you two going alone?"
"Of course not...!"
As he said, An smiled and pulled Ojis over.
"It''s too dangerous for one person, so I decided it''s better to form a team in pairs, Miss Ogis and I, Miss Lorena and Odaire, Mr. Cavaliers, please accompany Gureya, how about it?"
…………That’s what you meant.
Seeing An winking at herself desperately, Duanmu Huai also understood what she meant. It was obvious that An also noticed the situation of her friend, so she deliberately made this suggestion.
But that''s a good suggestion.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"Okay, that''s it."
