Chapter 180 The Roar of the Dragon [Two in one, please subscribe]

"Huhuhu..."

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the north wind shows a ferocious smile, whistling towards the earth.

The dark clouds were slowly pressing toward the ground, covering the sky with snow, and no light could be seen.

Suddenly, a large snowflake came down.

The wind roared, and a blizzard came.

The dark sky merged with the sea of ​​snow, and everything was invisible.

Snowflakes fell all over the sky, like goose feathers, flying one after another, falling gently on the tent, on the fence, and next to the fire.

After a while, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground, and the whole world was dark.

Only the faint firelight emitted from the bonfire in the camp illuminated the entire camp.This is the light, which was quickly submerged under the cover of the heavy snow and wind. The dark night and the surrounding darkness enveloped the camp, turning the small camp into an isolated island in the snow.

"Crackling..."

The wood in the bonfire burned brightly, making a slight crackling sound. The snow fell on the stones next to the fire, so crystal clear that it quickly turned into a puddle of snow.

Sitting next to the fire, relying on the light of the fire, Riley took a towel, smeared it with oil, and slowly oiled the hand ax, maintaining it carefully and carefully, as if he was handling a rare treasure.

Riley looked at the ax blade full of cold light and nodded with satisfaction. He put the maintenance protective gear into the space ring with a wave of his hand, put the ax on his back and carried it. He waved his hand. He was wearing a black cloak and his face was hidden. The person in the shadow came over quickly.

Riley stood up, like an iron tower, with a strong back and a strong back. He stood with the man in the black cloak, like a strong man bullying a child, but Riley did not feel such a sense of disobedience.

He patted his subordinates on the shoulders with palms like cattail leaf fans and said: "Antonis, I will leave the guarding task of the camp to you in the middle of the night. Be careful and don't cause trouble..."

"Sir, don't worry, I'm here to keep an eye on you, no one can get close to our camp..."

A somewhat hoarse voice floated out from under the cloak.

Riley nodded, turned and left, stepping through the snow gradually. He first came to the outside of Rey's tent, gently opened a corner of the curtain, and saw Rey sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag. He smiled, gently lowered the curtain, turned around and left in another direction.

Arriving outside an inconspicuous-looking tent in the center of the camp, Riley saw the bell tied to the door curtain and shook it gently with his hand. The bell made no sound, but soon, a sound came from the tent. : "Riley, come in..."

Hearing this, Riley directly opened the door curtain and walked in. The tent seemed small, but it was unique inside. It was about fifty square meters. On one side was a spacious wooden table and a huge bookcase full of books. books and parchment.

In the middle of the tent is a small reception room, with a bright magic lamp hanging on the top of the tent.The whole tent is bright, clean, and warm as spring.

Eric wrote something with a quill on the desk without looking up.

Riley didn't care about his boots that were a little wet from the snow and stepped directly onto the expensive and exquisite carpet in the tent. He sat down on the chair and asked Eric: "Eric, during the day, are you still here?" Have you discovered anything along the way? Do you have any clues about the monster attacking the city?"

"Ugh……"

Eric stopped writing, raised his head, looked at Riley, glanced at the wet and dirty footprints on the carpet, sighed softly, waved his hand, and the long time on it quickly disappeared, as clean as ever, he shook it gently and continued said:
"No specific clues have been found yet, but along the way, I have found that this place is a little too deserted. Although we are in the North, this is the eternal wilderness, a paradise and gathering place for monsters. There are countless monsters. A steady stream, endless destruction... Even if most monsters hibernate in winter and we wipe out a group of them in the monster wave, more than a month has passed, and there should be other monsters to replenish their numbers..."

"But, no, we didn't find any trace of monsters all the way here..."

Riley stood up, looked at Eric, and then Eric continued.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and understood each other's meaning. They said in unison:
"It's a giant dragon..."

Riley laughed loudly, looked at Eric in the hall, and said as he walked: "Yes...Eric, we all know...if something strange happens around Aylward, then it will be It has something to do with the dragon...the caravan was attacked, the elite adventure team was gone forever, and the monster group moved..."

"Then it was basically done by the giant dragon, or at least it had the figure of the giant dragon. The dragon must have done nothing good... So this time, is it it?"

"Riley... I don't know about this... You also know that the number of dragons appearing in the Northland has been increasing over the years... Now, we have no way of knowing whether it was present in this attack. ... What's more, even if it is it, we can't do anything, we can only run for our lives..."

Eric smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said helplessly.

Riley touched the hand ax behind his back, let out a long sigh, and sat on the chair without speaking. The tent fell into silence. Although the two of them were considered important figures in Aylward City, they were still like ants in front of it. Shrouded in its shadow, facing it, the two of them only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The one who is feared by the two is the red dragon queen of the North, Merogarland, a red dragon whose ruling area center is roughly located in Evanlud (Aylward) but is actively expanding.

Back then, when the Pedler family brought the floating city here to build Aylward and the Star Tower, this was still an adult dragon. He was so frightened by the power of the Netheril Empire that he hid in no corner of the North. .

Well, I don’t know why a red dragon doesn’t stay well in the warm south, but has to come to this cold north to dominate and dominate the land. It completely goes against the habits of the red dragon, but it is obviously successful. .

When the news of the fall of the Netheril Empire spread wildly across the continent, the red dragon swept in again, with a sudden army, attacking from north to south, and conquered the territory of Nuoda.

Until they arrived at Aylward, Milogarland was intimidated by the power of the Star Tower and the strong strength of the Pedler family. The occupation of Aylward temporarily failed. It temporarily signed a contract with the Pedler family and suspended its occupation of Aylward. Occupation of this area of ​​Aylward.

However, the power of Merogarland was not much damaged. In the following hundreds of years, its territory continued to expand, and it has firmly surrounded the city of Aylward.

Although he was afraid of the powerful magic items and the towering Star Tower of the Netheril Empire, or because he wanted to abide by the contract, Milogaran no longer led his followers to attack Aylward, and Aylward still maintained his independence. , still under the control of the Pedler family.

However, due to the desire for territory, as well as the coveting of the huge gold coins and properties in Aylward City, as well as the rich magic resources of the Pedler family, monsters often run out of the wilderness and forests every winter. , launched a basically suicidal attack on Aylward, and at the same time, Aylward would also clear out the surrounding monsters every summer.

However, due to their respective fears and considerations, Aylward and Myro Garland acquiesced in each other's actions.

However, as time passed, Netheril's glory continued to dim under the wash of time, losing its past deterrence.

However, Merogarland's strength has become stronger with the passage of time, its ambitions have continued to expand, and its desire for wealth has become increasingly strong. Therefore, the number of monsters that attack Aylward continues to increase every year. However, Aylward is Under the leadership of the Pedler family, they have always stood firm.

At the same time, the adventurous team that came to Aylward and prepared to slay dragons and make a fortune, there were more and more righteous evil-eating teams, and they became more and more elite, and other dragons often came to provoke McLogarland in an attempt to defeat McLogarland. Loot its territory and wealth.

Of course, there are also many thieves and dragons who simply covet the wealth of McLogarland and often steal homes from McLogarland's lair, but there is no actual progress in all of this.

Only occasionally you can see the wailing sound of giant dragons in the sky, and you can even see some giant dragons running away with blood dripping from their bodies, but Milogarland still maintains its unbreakable rule in the northern dungeon.

Riley and Eric remembered that in a family meeting, in order to deal with the huge external threat of McLordland, someone proposed whether to conduct a raid on McLordland.

Riley and Eric still remember the scene at that time. Their grandfather, the patriarch of the Pedler family and the strongest man, Ober Pedler, frowned and said:

"It's impossible, there's no hope. I already know - Milo Galan is now an ancient dragon...a red dragon in the ancient dragon stage. It's impossible to attack and kill it by surprise, except for demigods or those at the same stage. The dragon, we can no longer harm it now..."

"Moreover, I predict that Mellow Garland may soon become a great ancient dragon... At that time, we can only rely on the Tower of Stars to resist it. At that time, we will fall into a passive position..."

By the way, the famous Red Dragon Queen Merogarland lives in the Floating Mountain.

This is a huge, hollow oval rock, maintained in the air by the magic of the Red Dragon Queen, shrouded in a layer of mist, and will follow her wishes wherever she wishes.

Usually it lingers low above the woods due west of Evanlud, or on the southern edge of the High Forest.When it does not need to be lifted into the air, it will stay on the deep sand bed (a natural sand pit) southwest of Evanrod City, never coming to Aylward City.

The floating mountain looks like a giant, mottled gray potato filled with numerous holes.

It contains a series of silky-smooth tunnels and chambers filled with vast amounts of treasure.The spell conceals a "secret chamber" set high in the cave, where treasures - including magic items - are stored.In particular, the Red Dragon Queen seems to enjoy collecting all kinds of loot from the enemies she fights: magical armor and any magical items carried by mages.

Other spells are used by the Red Dragon Queen as an alarm and awakening of intruders coming from a distance to invade the nest. That is, the magic of the remote mystical eyes in the floating mountain transmits what they see to the Red Dragon Queen (equivalent to to drones) regardless of how far away she may be from her lair.

Over the years, many red dragons have coveted the territory that the Red Dragon Queen now controls. This is mainly due to a legend that has been circulated among the dragons for many years, claiming that Merogarland has gathered enough gems to completely fill a half-mile deep pit, but Enemies who sneak in and steal often disappear without a trace, and no one comes back alive.

However, Ober Pedler once explained to these core members of the family that a mystery lock was placed on the floating mountain, and the core of the mystery lock was the famous Alpine Crown.

The Mountain Crown was the creation of a great arcanist. After Netheril was destroyed and lost, it was stolen from a human merchant by two dwarves and disappeared again.When it appeared again, it became the treasure of the Red Dragon Queen McLogarland.The secret that makes the entire mountain range levitate is the permanent [Advanced Levitation Technique] effect of this artifact.Therefore, it can be said that the Red Dragon Queen Merogarland is very difficult to deal with and has become a serious problem for the Pedler family to continue to rule Aylward. At the same time, Aylward has also become a thorn in Merlogarland's side and a seductive man. Meat, Aylward's independent position in the core of its territory makes it feel very unsightly, and Aylward's wealth and resources also make it salivate.

Especially as Amaunata, the patron saint of the Netheril Empire, continues to decline, the Red Dragon Queen Merogaran has taken more and more frequent actions against Aylward.

Now the seemingly prosperous Aylward is in danger, and everything now is just a fire cooking oil.

That's why Riley and Eric were so worried when they discussed this topic.

Riley scratched his head. Suddenly, he stood up, looked at Eric with a look of joy and hope and asked, "Eric, can we ask Analil and Harondance to come?" , help us deal with the Red Dragon Queen Myrogaran?"

Analil and Harundanth are two of the three floating cities in Netheril that were saved by the current Mystra after she completed the new magic network. However, none of the other floating cities were spared, including Peder. The three floating cities controlled by the Le family were also destroyed in the catastrophe of the collapse of the magic network.

The three cities are Anauria, Asram and Hlondath.

They were originally located in extremely high airspace, and they survived until the magic network was restored and were rescued by Mystra, landing safely on the ground.

Eric put down the quill in his hand, shook his head helplessly and said:
"Riley, there's no way. We tried this proposal many years ago, but they didn't agree..."

"How could it be?! Until now, we and he are the only pure heirs of the Netheril Empire... How could they... Don't they know that Athrun and Askhorn both perished for their own reasons? Is that so? If... if, we are no longer here... then the black hands behind the scenes will not let him go..."

Riley's face turned red and he shouted emotionally. Obviously, he felt a little unbelievable that Analil and Harondance refused to rescue.

"Riley... everyone has their own difficulties. We have to face Merlogaran, but Analil and the others are not easy either. Orcs have been intruding on them. They... may never be able to fly again... ...As for Halundance, he is busy dealing with Cormanthe..."

"Riley, we all know...since the fall of the empire, there has always been a black hand...as well as the Sarens and the phaerinn...it has always been there..."

"The successors of Netheril... Karthor, Askhorn, and Athrun have all fallen one by one... Now it seems that only the three of us are left... This situation... seems to be We are being targeted, but fortunately, we are all mentally prepared..."

Eric walked up to Riley, patted Riley on the shoulder, and spoke slowly, as if he was not the one who suffered rejection and was about to face disaster.

"Eric...you mean..."

Hearing this, Riley's eyes widened, his hands trembled, he looked at Eric and said, he hesitated to speak, feeling a little unbelievable and a little relieved.

"That's right..."

Eric looked at Riley and nodded, feeling a little sad in his heart.

"The reason why nobility has always been a nobility is that it naturally has its own laws of survival... The Pedler family will continue to be inherited, and the glory of Netheril will not be lost with us..."

……

While Eric and Riley kept talking about the threat to Aylward from the Red Dragon Queen Myrogarland.

Among the dark clouds and night, a huge creature is hidden in the clouds. This is a red dragon. It is very large, with huge horns that reach into the sky. Its pupils are like a team of lava balls, and its scales are covered with smooth The gray lines exude a red metallic luster.

A pair of huge bat wings clung to both sides, and the slender dragon tail was covered with dark red scales and horns, forming a cluster of red bone spurs at the tip of the tail.However, there is still a huge wound on its chest, and Senbai's bones can be seen.

At this time, this red dragon, which likes warm environments, is flying high in the sky on a cold night, which seems very strange, especially since this red dragon deliberately hides in the cold clouds that red dragons don't like.

Well, Ernst really doesn't like the current environment, but there is no other way. It can only choose to stay in this cold north.

It was originally an adult red dragon from the Sword Coast in the south, but it didn't do well in the south.

Later, it heard that there was a female red dragon in the North, Merogarland, who possessed enough gems to completely fill a half-mile deep pit.

So, with the desire for wealth, it invited several "good brothers" to come to the North together. After all, I heard that the Red Dragon Queen was not easy to mess with.

Therefore, whether it is to snatch wealth or to have a back-up to hold Mero Garland back when failure occurs, you need an accomplice.

Ever since, three adult red dragons, each with their own thoughts, came together to the Northland for the same goal.

Then it had some doubts about Longsheng. The three red dragons together failed to defeat McLord Garland. Although McLord Garland failed to kill the three red dragons who overestimated their capabilities due to the rules of the Dragon God, they still succeeded. seriously injured.

Ernst could proudly say that he was the smartest, the least injured, and the fastest.

Before Ernst could be happy, it turned out to be a tragedy. There was actually a group of adventure teams specializing in attacking injured dragons hiding nearby.

Ernst can swear to the dragon god, this fucking is definitely related to the big evil dragon Mellow Garland! !

Ernst, who was the first to escape, attracted the attacks of most of the dragon hunting team, leaving Ernst seriously injured and dying, becoming the most seriously injured dragon.

The other two accomplices took the opportunity to escape, leaving Ernst chased by the dragon hunting team for more than half a month. If not for the tenacity of Dragon Life, Ernst would have been beaten to death.

At this point, Ernst was hiding in the Eternal Wasteland to heal his wounds. He was full of hatred for humans. He slept and hid during the day and hunted at night. In order to heal his wounds, Ernst developed an appetite and harmed a large number of monsters.

And because of Mellor Garland's black hands and the professional attack of the dragon hunting team, it hasn't completely healed yet, leaving a big wound on its chest.

Now, Ernst, who had woken up from hunger, was hiding in the clouds looking for prey. The cold temperature made him a little impatient, and when he had not found the prey for half an hour, he lost his patience.

So, when it saw the vague light of fire on the snowy field, Ernst, who was tortured by hunger, became impatient.

"Food! I'm here, Ernst!"

Ernst laughed wildly in his heart and plunged into the fire.

It allowed gravity to capture itself and made a free fall from an altitude of several thousand meters. Its wings were covered with a thin layer of frost, and the entire dragon looked like a boulder falling from the sky.

Feeling the arrogant dragon power descending from the sky, the faces of everyone in the ground camp changed. The weak ones even fought with their hands and feet, their hands and feet were cold and unable to move, especially those who had just become professionals, their faces were pale and they could not speak. .

And Rey, who had just exchanged his divinity and talent and was immersed in this great enjoyment, felt the familiar dragon power, and climbed out of the tent in excitement and came outside.

Eric and Riley, who were talking, also quickly ran out of the tent. The dragon's power was getting closer and closer, becoming more and more intense.

A rolling cold wave fell from the sky, and the icy air roared in the air, causing people's faces to feel painful and hot.

Finally, a dark red giant ball appeared in everyone's sight with unmatched power.

Through the darkness of night and frost, Rey saw the giant red dragon spreading its wings in the air and swooping down, as arrogant and arrogant as ever.

But I have to say that this look is in line with Rey's understanding of the red dragon clan: evil, powerful, arrogant, and self-centered.

After all, he had also experienced the blood of the red dragon in the simulation projection just now, and it felt very good. Thinking of this, Rey, who was critical, could not help but nodded with satisfaction.

Carrying the might of a dragon as heavy as a mountain, Ernst rushed over quickly. His dragon eyes like lava balls glanced back and forth at everyone present, and his body trembled slightly.

Ernst suppressed his anger, but there was joy in his tone, making it difficult to tell whether it was anger or excitement: "Damn humans! Go to hell!!"

A roar quickly came from the air...
