Make the dragon great again

Chapter 156 The Traveling Tours and the Dormant Aidankui
The Phantasmal Battle that took place in the center of [Bechymos Inner Sea], although it had a great impact and even spread to a large area along the coast, after all, the scope did not spread to the inland, and the productivity of this era is backward, unless Adrian It was intentional when spreading [Dragon Clan Rumors], otherwise the speed of information dissemination would be pitifully slow.

Therefore, under the premise that the storm prevented the bards from traveling, this "big news" has not spread to the deep inland far from the incident site within two days of its happening, and the people in the inland are still living as usual. Life.

And in the [Mulion Great Forest], where all news in the civilized world is extremely difficult to circulate, it has not been affected by this incident at all...

The northern foothills of [Roaring Mountains] are the northernmost part of [Mulien Dasenli]. Along the [Eastern Corridor] that connects the east, middle, and west of the mainland, the big forest extends to the west, so although [ Most of the Murrion Great Forest] is located in the eastern part of the continent to the east of the [Roaring Mountains], but in fact nearly one-third of its area is located in the middle of the continent;

Many people in the Asian countries in the central part of the mainland do not even consider this part of the forest to be part of the [Murion Forest], but a separate [Continental Central Forest]. (For details, please go to the book review area to find a map for comparison)

At this time, in the [Central Forest], which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the eastern part of the mainland, a crisis is spreading to several sub-human countries near the forest...

Several cat-human boys and girls with a pair of big ears on their heads ran stumblingly in the forest, as if they were avoiding something behind them.

The creepy and eerie whispers gradually amplified in the ears, and several cat-human teenagers were frightened and ran away quickly. They turned their ears on the top of their heads, as if they wanted to hear the source of the sound clearly, but they found nothing useful. The voice seemed to be coming from all directions at the same time.

"They're coming meow!"

"Run meow!"

"Meow, it's scary meow..."

These cat-human teenagers' panic-stricken escape behavior did not allow them to escape from the clutches of the pursuers. In the end, after falling into a dense forest area that was overgrown with bushes and difficult to escape quickly, the terrified hunter of these cat-human teenagers once again appear in front of them.

Those are a few demon spirits whose upper bodies, including their heads, are wrapped in rotten shrouds, and whose lower bodies are in the shape of phantom smoke, a kind of undead creature.

Demon spirits are actually "ghosts" in the general population. Ordinary souls after death, after completely losing their reason and memory in life, will soon be obliterated by the magical environment of nature, but very few of them will survive the natural magical environment Obliterate, become a demon spirit, and advance to a real undead creature.

In the Gaia society, the "ghosts" and "ghosts" that make ordinary people fear more, most of the prototypes in these ghost stories are actually undead creatures such as demon spirits...

These cat-human teenagers who are running away are new members of the security team in a border town of a nearby demi-human country. They entered the forest to combat the illegal behavior of certain businessmen who planted catnip in large quantities here.

They are just ordinary cat-humans with slightly stronger physiques, without any supernatural power, so they are quite afraid of "ghosts" and "ghosts" that can stop children from crying at night.

At this time, several demon spirits had surrounded them from several angles. The cat-human teenagers waved the standard weapons of the town security team back to back at the demon spirits. The hair on their tails and ears stood on end, and they uttered threatening "" rustling" sound.

Regardless of the threat of the cat-human teenagers, the demon spirits still approached them at a leisurely speed. Their profane whispers came to everyone accompanied by the penetrating cold. These fledgling cat-human teenagers, His legs were shaking with fright.

At this moment, a howl sounded from the dense forest on one side, and then, a sharp frost blade cut through the bushes, and precisely hit a demon spirit who was closest to the cat people.

Although the demon spirit is an undead creature with high low temperature resistance, it seems that there is some unknown transcendent power contained in this frosty wind blade, which actually freezes the demon spirit that was hit, and fell to the ground and shattered into ice slag. .

The whispers in the air suddenly became a little louder, and the remaining demon spirits collectively uttered [Scream of the Undead]. .

However, the sneak attackers in the dense forest did not seem to be affected by the [Undead Scream], they only heard a "hiss" sound like a cold-blooded animal sticking out its tongue, and then, a dark blue tall figure suddenly emerged from the dense forest The other rushed out, swung a huge blue ax about the size of a man, and slashed at another demon spirit.

The upper body of this demon spirit immediately turned into the same illusory mist as the lower body, which made it immune to almost all physical damage, but when the blue giant ax slashed through the gray mist formed by its body, the gray mist where it passed They were infected with signs of frost one after another, obviously suffering from unimmune magic damage.

The other demon spirits no longer surrounded the people of the cat-human race, but instead rushed towards the dark blue figure holding a giant axe.

Ten sharp claws grabbed the dark blue figure from different directions, but the man swung a heavy giant ax imperviously, forcing the demon spirits back for a certain distance.

The "hissing" sound of the vibrating tongue of a cold-blooded animal gradually transformed into a "snoring" sound of trembling vocal cords, with a feeling that it was about to let out a roar. Under such a transformation, the tall dark blue figure seemed to become taller again a bit.

There was a mysterious light on the blue giant axe. After the man uttered a deep roar, every time he swung the giant axe, he was accompanied by an aura similar to the frost and wind blade he used to sneak attack and kill the demon spirit just now. Blade, but its power is relatively small.

The demon spirits had nothing to do with this man, and under the strong attack, two more demon spirits were smashed into ice slag by the giant axe. In the end, these demon spirits seemed to have received some kind of order, and suddenly retreated collectively.

At this moment, everyone in the cat-human race could see clearly that the one who saved them was a lizard man, judging from his body proportions, it was a male lizard man.

A cat-human girl who looked like the team leader took the lead in expressing her gratitude to the lizard man:

"Thank you, thank you for saving us, meow!"

The lizard man carried the blue giant ax on his shoulder with one hand, turned around and said to the cat people:
"You are just ordinary people, how dare you go deep into the forest without the leadership of an extraordinary person?"

The cat girl said with a wry smile:

"Recently, someone has planted a large amount of catnip deep in the forest. In the towns closest to the forest, there have been many incidents of catnip ingestion and injury caused by excessive intake of catnip. There has been no news from the transcendent seniors who entered the forest to investigate. We are I came to look for the traces of the seniors, but I didn't expect to go deeper and deeper, and met those monsters meow!"

The lizard man scratched the smooth scales on the top of his head and said:

"Recently, a large number of undead creatures have appeared abnormally in this forest, and the illegal goods flowing out of the forest have not decreased. Your lord suspects that the two things are related, and sent an investigation request to the Adventurer's Guild. I just accepted the request. adventurers..."

It was only then that the cat people noticed that this lizard man's strong right upper arm was tied with a thin chain, and a stainless steel nameplate inlaid with diamonds was also strung on it.

This turned out to be a diamond-level adventurer!
"This matter is no longer yours to participate in. Go back in that direction, and I have cleared all the undead creatures along the way."

The lizard man pointed to the direction he came from, then he turned around and walked deeper into the forest with his giant ax on his shoulder.

"Wait a minute meow! Can you tell us your name? We want to give you a serious thank you later in town."

"I don't need to thank you. This is already within the content of my commission. As for the name, my name is Tours Tomahawk, and I am an adventurer driven by interest."

After all, the lizard man named Tours carried a huge axe, touched his smooth head scales, and turned to go deep into the forest, leaving a lonely back for the cat people...

Tours Tomahawk is the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Tomahawk Tribe, a clan of tomb guards by the Kunas Lake and the former family member of the Bronze Dragon Kunas family. The lizardman traveling warrior who delivered the message to the Horde.

Originally, Tours did not want to follow the old ways to be trapped by Lake Kunas, so he left the ethnic group and traveled to the outside world while looking for a way to save the ethnic group from the curse of the gravekeeper;
While the Tomahawk tribe surrendered to Adrian and gained Adrian's favor, Tours was still investigating the fact that a branch of the Lizardmen tribe was silently exterminated in the northern part of the mainland. Until two years ago, when the Tomahawk tribe A year and a half after the tribe surrendered, Tours, who found nothing in the investigation, passed the first three floors of the dungeon as a passer-by, and came to Adrian.

Tours does not seem to be in awe of dragons like his elder brother. As a gravekeeper, the Tomahawk tribe is often harassed by the negative energy leaked by Yelans. The dragon that can bring suffering does not have any preconceived favor with it;

He didn't surrender to Adrian in exchange for the gift of strength, but broke through the obstacles set by Alvarez as a passer-by, and boldly challenged Adrian in person!
As a result, Adrian, who was in a state of digesting void feedback and was too lazy to leave the [Throne], didn't move at all, and Tours was seriously injured and dying by the furious Fay's tail.

But in the end, Adrian, who was awakened from a light sleep because of the shock caused by Fay's excessive force, took a fancy to Tours' pursuit of fighting and strength, as well as his indomitable heart, and chose Forgive him for his rude rebuttal, personally heal him with [Dragon Language Magic] and give him an increased version of [Contract Ritual].

After feeling the absolute difference in strength, Adrian's kindness to himself, and the powerful power brought by the [Contract Ceremony], Tours's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he immediately bowed his head and bowed to Ai Dian sincerely. Derian pledges allegiance to...

Afterwards, Adrian originally wanted Tours to join Edmund's field team, but the rebellious Tours thought that sooner or later his young self would surpass the old Edmund, so he was not too worried. Obey the command of this old man of the human race;
Considering that Edmund's active area is basically the sphere of influence of the human race, it is really difficult to arrange a lizardman in Tours, so Adrian simply "stocked" him in the end, wanting to see Tours Can you reproduce the demeanor of the [half-dragon people] who once dominated the Second Era.

Thus, there was a legend of a lizardman adventurer who was active outside the sphere of influence of the human race, took on various difficult commissions out of interest, and always succeeded.

In just two years, Tours has grown from an unknown lizardman traveling warrior to a well-known diamond-level solo adventurer in the middle and upper classes of human society in various sub-human races...

And Tours accepted the entrustment of the cat-human lord this time, even if he wanted to help these cat-people who are also demi-humans, he also smelled something unusual from behind this incident.

"The early outbreak of the [Barbarian Disaster] was very strange, and there were signs of active undead creatures. The extermination of the Lizardman tribe in the northern part of the mainland was also suspected to be related to this... The [Barbarian Front] in the decisive battle at that time was far from the It is not very far from here, and judging from the clues provided by the cat-human lord, as early as three years ago, there were already signs of an abnormal number of undead creatures active in this forest, but at that time the living society had not yet been endangered, so there was nothing to worry about. mind..."

Tours swung the giant ax out, and the air blade that was split smashed a skeleton soldier who was peeping at him into pieces.

"These undead creatures probably have a common commander, and maybe he will know the truth about the demise of the 'cypress tribe' back then."

Tours was deeply concerned about the silent extermination of the 'Cypresswood' lizardman tribe back then, and had always wanted to investigate the truth. Now that he found a clue, he would naturally not let it go.

"Moreover, I have a hunch that this time will be an opportunity for me to advance to the hero rank and become a real half-dragon!"

Tours' eyes became sharper, and he took big strides towards the direction where he perceived the strongest breath of death.

……

In a valley deep in the forest, densely packed people are busy here, but when you look closely, these busy "people" are all low-level undead creatures such as skeleton soldiers and walking corpses, some relatively high-level, intelligent undead creatures Creatures command them;

And what these undead creatures are doing is actually taking care of the "catnip" planted in patches in the valley. This is actually the "unscrupulous businessman planting base" that troubles the cat people!
At this time, in a small and exquisitely repaired stone palace in the middle of the valley, a skeleton lich in gorgeous robes was talking to the crystal ball in his hand.

"...Don't worry, my preparations are quite proper. These special catnip that I have carefully cultivated will have a strong hallucinogenic effect on the cat-human race, making them fall into a state of frenzy and attack any aliens indiscriminately. At that time, you only need to With a little guidance, a war between demihumans can be started."

A voice came from the crystal ball:

"Hmph, it's better like this! Aidankui, you must know that your mission has been delayed for three years, and the city lord is already very angry. If you can't provoke a large-scale war south of the [barbarian front] , those brainless barbarians will be killed when they plunder the city-state in the northern part of the mainland before launching a general attack on the Behemoth Kingdom!"

If someone heard this conversation, I am afraid that the content of the conversation will be unbelievable.

Hasn't the [Barbarian Calamity] been over for three years?Could it be that the [Barbarian Disaster], which was bigger than ever before, hasn't even used the real main force behind it?
And the Lich Aidankui was the Lich Commander who commanded the army of walking corpses to attack the [barbarian front] and was almost wiped out by the passing Adrian. After he escaped from Adrian's hand, he unexpectedly Hibernating in the [Central Forest] for three years, once again cultivated an army of undead!
"Hmph! Mr. Shoufu, I hope you remember that the failure at the beginning was not just because of me. You misjudged the royal family of Bechymos and believed that there were no dragon descendants who could realize the transformation into a dragon. The most fundamental reason for the failure of the plan three years ago!"

The Lich Aidankui, and the mysterious force to which this "Mr. Chief Assistant" belongs, judged that the "Giant Dragon Adrian" who appeared in the Kingdom of Bechymos turned out to be "a hidden member of the Bechymos royal family." Mighty Dragonborn"...

Facing Aidankui's doubts, "Shoufu" was silent for a while, and then said:
"...No matter what, this plan cannot fail. The Lord City Lord is going to welcome the return of an 'ancient ally', and the actions of the Behemoth Kingdom in the past few years are likely to stop that 'ancient ally' The Lord of the City even said that the Kingdom may be doing some kind of 'pollution' or 'brainwashing' on that person, so we must start a large-scale war south of the [Barbarian Front] as soon as possible, and depose the Kingdom Drag into the water!"

"You don't need to talk about this, of course I know... Right now, within the Kingdom of Behemoth, the mood for revenge against the Principality of Griffin is on the rise, and a war of revenge will be launched soon. At that time, they will have no time to take care of the northern border. I will At that time, start a war among the sub-human kingdoms, accumulate an army of undead here, and crush the northern border of the kingdom in one fell swoop!"

The Lich Aidankui was full of confidence in his plan and preparations, and the "Shoufu" at the other end of the crystal ball communication had no good solution, but could only urge him to "act quickly or the city lord will be angry".

Finally, Aidankui thought of the abnormal dark cloud that had lingered in the eastern sky for a few days, and asked "Shoufu" whether it was their handwriting, and "Shoufu" replied:

"Abnormal celestial phenomena? We can't see the changes in the celestial phenomena at such a long distance from us. Maybe it's just a normal bad weather... Don't think too much about it. If you can't complete the mission, how will the city lord punish you when you see it?" you!"

Aidankui originally wanted to say a few more words, but after hearing the last sentence of "Shoufu", he immediately lost interest, and the discussion about the abnormal celestial phenomenon ended in such a futile way...

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

By the way, in reality, "catnip" is harmless and addictive to cats, and some cats will not even respond to catnip.
