Chapter 590 Hallucination?

The girl's language did not sound too strange to Losa.

It sounds a bit like Norse, and is also very similar to the accent of the Slavic amber merchants who traveled the Black Sea trade route, which is very rare in the Holy Land.

This familiar feeling...

Losa recalled carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered the Prince Rurik named Yaroslav whom he met on the Black Sea. They should have spoken the same language.

Many guesses flashed through his mind, the most reliable of which was that the unfinished space spell that Shemaier had cast before was activated by the ghost dragon's counterattack before his death.

The combination of the two factors resulted in him being teleported to the territory of the Slavs by chance.

The girl in despair was still sobbing, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes, making her look very adorable.

But Losa, who was always surrounded by beautiful women, just felt annoyed. He rubbed his eyebrows and tried to calm himself down.

Being sent thousands of miles away out of thin air, even though he had the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time and glide after becoming half-dragon, the energy consumption of being half-dragon was not as terrible as Jeanna's sacred body, but it was definitely not an ability that could be used normally.

In other words, even if he was lucky enough to get on an inland ship and the river was fortunately not frozen over a large area, it would still take at least several months to return to Egypt, thousands of miles away.

By the time I get back, the decisive battle with Saladin will be over.

Lothar was speechless. Why were European monarchs like Richard so anxious that they didn't even bring their own armies and took the teleportation array to Egypt? Wasn't it just to catch up with this epic decisive battle that could be regarded as an epic battle across the entire European continent?

As a result, I missed the person I should not have missed the most.

If he had not been on the battlefield in person, he would have never had the chance to occupy the throne of the King of Egypt, Alexandria, or Cairo.

Perhaps if Kurse managed the business properly, he could have kept part of the spoils. He could give up Cairo and the title of king, but he had to keep Alexandria. This was a financial and tax center that was no less important than Constantinople in its heyday. It would be terrible if it was snatched away by others.

and many more!

If Prajna and the others come looking for me, it’s not certain whether we can win this battle.

After his disappearance, it was most likely that Richard the Lionheart took over the leadership of the Crusades. This guy's command ability was unquestionable, but there were no powerful spellcasters around him, so it was difficult for him to deal with Saladin's mage advisory group.

Therefore, after rushing back to Egypt with great difficulty, the fact that the spoils were intercepted was not a bad result. The worst result was that the Crusaders were defeated and the two provinces of Semanude and Damietta, which had just gained a foothold, were taken away by the enemy again.

Well, by that time, even the dukedom title will be destroyed.

Losa sat on the ground with a wry smile. The most urgent thing was to figure out his location. Although the girl in front of him looked very disheveled, her appearance and clothes made it impossible for her to be of commoner origin.

At the very least, she has to be a maid of a noble family.

If I could get help from the forces behind her, my return journey would undoubtedly become much easier.

"Do you speak Greek?"

Losa suddenly asked.

If he was a Varangian of the same origin as Yaroslav, he would most likely convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Many Eastern Orthodox scriptures are written in Greek. Although the professional qualities of the clergy in this bitter and cold land are certainly not very good, no matter how poor their level is, they should be able to say a few Greek prayers.

The woman showed a look of surprise on her face, and then she said in a very awkward tone: "My heart is silent and I wait only for God. My salvation comes from him."

She took out a cross from her robe and showed it to Losa with tears in her eyes.

Losa waved his hand and made the sign of the cross in front of him, and the communication between the two began in this stumbling manner.

for a long time.

Only then did Losa realize that they had arrived in the Principality of Novgorod in the far north. The girl was a princess of the Rurik family. Her father was the lord of a town on the Neva River, not far from this cave.

A demon dragon had just destroyed the town and captured her to its lair.

Losa suspected that he had heard it wrongly, and pointed at his feet in disbelief: "Dragon's Nest, here?"

The girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

Lothar frowned. With his keen sense of dragon's scent, if there really was a dragon hiding in this cave, how could he not discover it?

"Let's go take a look inside."

As Losa said this, he planned to go deeper into the cave.

The girl shook her head like a rattle, and the tears that had stopped flowing burst out again.

"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself."

After Losa finished speaking, he walked deeper into the cave.

The girl who stayed where she was hesitated, paced for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to follow.

The cave is very deep.

The further you go inside, the warmer it gets, as if there is an invisible heat source that is constantly releasing heat.

She moved forward tremblingly. Although there were some strange fluorescent plants growing on the walls, the light was still dim. Her courage began to fade as she went deeper. But the worst thing was that when she looked back, the light at the exit had completely disappeared.

Stuck halfway in the cave, the girl felt aggrieved and held back her tears. She hesitated for a long time before she climbed in again tremblingly.

When a little light finally appeared in front of her eyes, reflecting the figure of the prince in gorgeous armor, the girl hurriedly quickened her pace - the source of the light was the huge scales on the ground that were flashing red light.

There are huge dragon claw marks on the stone wall, as well as some traces of giant beasts living there.

The foreign prince, who did not speak the language, was squatting and stroking the scales carefully, as if he was feeling something.

The girl looked around nervously, and when she found that the dragon was not there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's get out of here while it's gone."

She urged quietly.

Losa didn't understand, but just nodded and said, "You are right, there is indeed a dragon living here, and it is a Karelian fire dragon. Judging from its size, it is at most a teenager. It is a blessing in disguise."

By the way, this was not the first time he had dealt with the Karelian Fire Dragon. He did not expect to encounter this rare species of dragon here.

I might as well stay in Northern Europe and complete all the milestones of bathing in dragon blood.

Wait until you can transform into a dragon normally, and then fly directly back to Egypt.

The girl understood a few words in Losa's words, but she didn't understand them at all when they were put together.

Lothar tried to pick out some common words, and even gestured as he spoke: "You said that the dragon threw you into the cave entrance and went in to sleep, but judging from the traces, this should be where it usually sleeps. It's not here. I also explored deeper places, and the deeper I went, the narrower it got. It's not easy for the dragon to squeeze in."

The girl showed a look of surprise.

"I don't know, I watched it go in."

Losa held up his chin and fell into deep thought.

The beast's instinct told him that the girl was not lying, so, was there something else going on in this cave?

"Something's wrong."

He frowned suddenly. Although he did not kill the ghost dragon personally, he participated in the killing. But why did he not receive any notification that the progress of the "Bathing in Dragon's Blood" milestone had increased?
Even if the ghost dragon is excluded from the list of true dragons by the system, given the strength shown by the ghost dragon, the experience gained from killing it should be enough to upgrade a few levels, but why didn't the system give any prompt?
Guilong is not dead?

Or is this simply an illusion? My real body is still in Egypt.

Lothar frowned. If it was an illusion, it would make much more sense, because if the ghost dragon counterattacked before dying and detonated the space spell, how could it be such a coincidence that it sent itself unharmed to Novgorod thousands of miles away?
Moreover, Karelia at this time should have been under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of Novgorod.

How could I be sent to the hometown of Guilong by such a coincidence? And I also happened to meet a rare Karelian fire dragon?

The more Losa thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was reliable, but if this was an illusion, how could he escape from it?

He slapped himself hard, the pain was slight, but that was because his defense was too strong. He simply rubbed the sharp edge of the dragon scale hard, and blood immediately gushed out.

The pain was so real, it didn't seem fake.

"It really can't be that simple."

Lothar sighed.

If this place was really an illusion created by the ghost dragon before his death as he guessed, it would be very difficult to escape from it - he did not dare to try to commit suicide. In many powerful illusion spells, once you die, you are really dead.

The girl looked at Losa with concern, thinking he was crazy.

Losa's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to himself, "This is definitely an illusion. Although I had just eaten before I arrived at Rashid, I had already digested it all, but I still feel full now."

He sneered and mocked: "A beast is a beast. Even the illusion he constructed has such a shallow loophole."

The smile on his face suddenly froze.

It was as if a thread was passing through my mind.

The girl's words echoed again: "The whole town was burned down by this man-eating dragon."

“I saw it go in with my own eyes.”

“And this weird feeling of fullness.”

Losa murmured softly, and the girl in front of him suddenly exclaimed and pointed at Losa.

Lothar subconsciously reached out to touch it, and a piece of scale had quietly appeared on his cheek without him knowing.

"That shouldn't be the case. I clearly didn't use Half Dragon Transformation, and the shape of these scales..."

Losa's mood suddenly sank.

He seemed to understand his current situation.
