Chapter 89: 90 Let's Make a Deal (3K words)
To see or not to see?
Of course I will see you.
Two silver figures flashed by under the full moon.
"Your Majesty, the border of Constantine's territory is ahead. Recently, there have been occasional internal conflicts among the dragons there. To be on the safe side, let's take a detour." Shirley flew beside Rossweisse and suggested.
"it is good."
They adjusted their direction and bypassed the area ahead.
If it weren't for Shirley leading the way, Rossweisse could even go alone.
Go quietly, return quietly, without causing any commotion.
Unfortunately, Shirley said Tiger's hiding place was too secret and difficult to find with just verbal description.
Moreover, Tiger also set up shielding arrays all around, and any tracking magic or image stones would be ineffective within its range. Shirley was flying aimlessly at the time and only discovered it by chance.
So this time, she must lead the way.
Listening to Shirley's description, Rossweisse became even more curious about Leon's master.
Before this, Rossweisse's understanding of her master was limited to Leon's daily jokes.
The master who lives in the lines gives Rossweisse the impression of being an "old naughty boy", "usually careless but reliable at critical moments", and "an ordinary farmer who knows a little bit of basic magic".
However, it is obvious that the person who can find a hidden hiding place and set up a shielding array around it is not a simple person no matter how you think about it.
What's more, Shirley said last night that Tiger could easily kill her.
Although Shirley is good at infiltration and spying, and is relatively weak in combat, she is one of Rossweisse's confidants after all. Even the top dragon slayer in the human race may not be able to kill her easily.
If you can’t beat him, can you still run away?
But Tiger really made Shirley feel panic.
Who on earth is this old man?
"Shirley, speed up."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Two figures flew across the sky at high speed, heading towards the border of mankind.
Because of the detour, they had to fly for several hours longer than usual.
When we arrived at the border between humans and dragons, it was almost dawn.
Rossweisse and Shirley also activated their invisibility magic. Without the cover of night, it would be better to be careful. (
"Follow me, Your Majesty."
"good.")
Shirley adjusted the angle and flew towards a mountain stream below.
The two landed at the top of the mountain stream and looked down. The entire mountain stream was as steep and dangerous as if it were cut by a knife. Several small waterfalls poured down from top to bottom of the valley.
The river at the bottom of the valley was extremely turbulent. If a human accidentally fell in, he would be washed away in the blink of an eye.
Shirley pointed to a waterfall in the middle of the mountain stream and said, "The Tigers are behind that waterfall. Your Majesty, he said he only wants to see you. Shirley can only wait for Your Majesty here.")
"Well, if I'm not back in an hour, you know what to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please be more careful."
Rossweisse nodded, then spread her dragon wings in human form and slowly flew towards the waterfall.
Just as Shirley said, hiding behind the waterfall, it is very difficult to find and reach without the ability to fly.
Moreover, as soon as she entered the mountain stream, Rossweisse also keenly realized that her magical ability was slightly restricted.
The normal surge of magic power didn't have much effect, but some auxiliary magic and tracking magic didn't seem to work very well.
The shielding array is already effective from here.
Rossweisse gently flapped her dragon wings, and when she was about to pass through the waterfall, she used the air waves to shake away the water flow to avoid being drenched.
Behind the waterfall is an artificial cave, which is neat and orderly.
The various wooden chairs, wardrobes, beds and simple kitchens in the cave also prove that someone lives here.
And it seems that life is quite comfortable.
But there is no one here.
However, the next moment, the scene in front of Rossweisse began to distort.
When the distortion ended, an old man with gray hair appeared next to the table and chairs.
No, the word "old man" may not be suitable for his temperament.
Although he looked to be about fifty years old in human years, he exuded a very calm and solemn aura just by standing there and doing nothing.
Even though the Silver Dragon Queen was standing before him, he showed no fear.
His slightly cloudy eyes stared at Rossweisse, which made Rossweisse feel a little pressured.
Countless dragon slayers had fallen under the dragon flames of the Silver Dragon Queen, but only one person was special.
Leon.
He was the only opponent that Rossweisse found difficult to deal with. If she had not been ambushed by a villain, Leon might have really led his team to break through her Silver Dragon Temple.
And now, his master, Tiger Lawrence, has almost the same courage and pressure as Leon did back then.
Rossweisse also noticed that before the scene distorted, there were only a few teacups on the table, but now, a long sword suddenly appeared there.
The blade glowed with a cold and solemn light, and the handle was facing the old man's hand - meaning that he could draw the sword and swing it at Rossweisse at any time.
He was well prepared.
Shielding magic, twisting illusions, and, for a dragon slayer, a vital weapon.
This was only what Rossweisse could see.
As for those hidden preparations, there may be more.
Tiger and Rossweisse looked at each other for a while, then slowly spoke,
"Is Leon okay?"
Rossweisse was slightly stunned. This question was too direct to the point, so she couldn't react immediately.
After coming to her senses, Rossweisse nodded, "He's still alive."
"I've been waiting for two years."
Rossweisse's thoughts moved slightly, and she quickly understood the inner meaning of Tiger's words, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Tiger nodded, "Yes, I am betting on an opportunity like today."
Leon disappeared in the crucial battle against the Silver Dragon Clan two years ago.
The battle report said he was dead, but neither the living nor the dead were seen.
If Leon has a chance of survival, it may be related to the dragon clan.
So Tiger waited.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got the chance to lure out the Dragon King.
"Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?" Rossweisse asked.
"Rather, I thought he was dead."
In fact, many years ago, when Tiger saw Leon for the first time, he knew that he could not keep Leon by his side.
When he was ten years old, he sent Leon to college.
He treated every meeting from then on as the last.
Tiger looked directly at Rossweisse.
Rossweisse could tell from Tiger's eyes what he was most concerned about at the moment, so she spoke.
“In the past two years, Leon has never admitted defeat, which is to be expected.”
"It sounds like you know him well."
"Naturally, he has only one identity now, and that is my prisoner of war."
A prisoner of war with top treatment who eats and drinks for free every day in my Silver Dragon Temple.
Oh, actually it can’t be considered free food and drinks, at least Leon still paid the “rent”.
Upon hearing this, Tiger snorted coldly and muttered, "Stinky boy..."
He is still so stubborn after two years. How much suffering he must have suffered at the hands of the enemy.
Then he changed the subject, "Anyway, knowing that he is still alive, I feel relieved."
After a pause, he asked again, "What deal did you reach between you?"
It’s not surprising that Leon would find a way to contact me, but why would the Silver Dragon Queen help me?
There must be a reason for this.
Rossweisse looked at the old man in front of her. He was like a lion in his old age. No matter how sharp the knife of time was, it could not wipe out his claws and blood.
But he still has a soft side, and that is Leon.
Rossweisse could sense his concern and restraint towards Leon.
He cared because that was the dragon-slaying genius he had brought up;
The reason for restraint is that the two tribes have been fighting for many years and cannot really chat in a calm and peaceful manner like old friends.
But it’s good that the two of them didn’t become hostile as soon as they met.
Although it is not possible to reach the level of "calmness", it is extremely rare to be able to chat calmly with the same man here.
So, should we say that the situation at this moment is very special, or... the man they are talking about is special?
"In order for me to fulfill his request, Leon has paid the corresponding price." Rossweisse replied.
"Based on my understanding of him, he must have tried every possible way to escape back to the empire before making this request, right?"
Oh, it's not just about trying every possible way, it's about not stopping for even a single day.
Rossweisse nodded. "He keeps trying, but keeps failing."
Tiger did not comment on this.
It's good enough that the brat is alive.
"At least one year from now, if you let Leon escape back to the empire, it will only prove that your entire Silver Dragon Clan is useless," Tiger said.
Rossweisse raised her eyebrows.
Although she had no intention of letting Leon go, Tiger's statement was a bit strange.
Knowing that his beloved disciple was still alive, he was not in a hurry to rescue him, and even hoped that he would stay in the enemy's hands longer?
"You are provoking us." Rossweisse's tone gradually turned cold.
"You came here alone, which means you don't want to fight me. Even if I do -"
Tiger remained calm and gently stroked the handle of the knife on the table. This was the confidence he had accumulated over the years.
"Why don't you let him come back?"
"No comment."
Rossweisse narrowed her eyes and looked at the human in front of her.
Arbitrary, powerful, with his own logic and code of conduct, so powerful that he would not be servile even in the face of the Dragon King...
The master Leon was talking about was completely different from the person in front of him.
After looking at each other for a while, Rossweisse nodded. Since the other party refused so straightforwardly, she didn't intend to ask any more questions.
Anyway, let alone one year, she would have no problem keeping Leon captive for another ten years.
