Infinite Anecdotes

Then fell into a lengthy silence, which is almost a daily hysterical routine for this group of neurotic nobles.

Apart from praying for Shenlong's help, I didn't think about other things, such as sending troops to conquer the invaders, or to rescue those cities attacked by the Witch Cult. They have nothing to do except complain.

The leadership of the entire royal capital almost fell to Crusch alone. Although she claimed to be assisting the Sage Association in governing, the fact is exactly the opposite. All government affairs were handled around the center of Crusch. The Sage Most of the members of the council just hang a name.

As for the other elected representatives of the king, although they all did their own work, they were far from as good as Crusch in government affairs.

Those outside nobles can't count on it. Tang Cheng and his capable people closed the door and gathered for a meeting to discuss how to solve the current situation.

"We must curb their offensive momentum, and we can't make it difficult for them to enter any further. The best way is to make them retreat." Anyway, Crusch threw out this issue first.

"But we don't have soldiers." Anastasia's knight Julius said.

"The number of knights is not enough, we have to stay at least half in the royal city to prepare for various situations that may occur." Marcus, head of the knight group, added.

Since the Asian War, the Kingdom of Luknica has been severely damaged, and it has not recovered until today, and the nobles and the royal family blindly believe that the war will not come, thinking that "there is something that the Dragon God and the Sword Master can't solve." It’s all good.” He repeatedly reduced military expenditures, and now there are less than 1000 soldiers in the capital.Moreover, most of these people's usual work is to train patrol stations to stand guard, and at most catch thieves or something. It's hard to say how much strength they can use if they are really sent to war.

"I understand." Crusch said, her eyes looked directly at Reinhardt: "At this time, we can only rely on the strength of individual soldiers."

Reinhardt understood what she meant. Crusch hoped that he would face the invading army of the enemy country alone. Although the term one person was a bit exaggerated, in fact, in the demi-human war, it was because of the previous generations The sword saint Theresia's active and ultimately victorious.

Reinhardt nodded: "This is the duty of Juggernaut and Dragon Sword."

After receiving the answer, Crusch immediately looked at Tang Cheng on the other side, and said: "On the other side, we also need a powerful person to lead the team to check the situation of the Dragon God, although from my standpoint it is I really don't want to borrow his power, but I have to say that it is difficult to solve all the problems by ourselves now, in short, we need the help of Shenlong."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Tang Cheng smiled wryly.

"So it's me?"

236．Sage Tower

Originally, since the organization had decided to ask him to lead the team to visit the Dragon God, Tang Cheng wanted to recite two lines of poems to express his heart, but after thinking about it, he gave up because the people in front of him didn't understand what poems were at all.

Reinhardt told Tang Cheng that there is a strong prohibition around the enchantment set by Shenlong to prevent outsiders from entering. They may not be able to see Shenlong in such a rash way, so the most ideal way is to go to the Sage Tower first to get the Sage disciple Shaula's help.

Among the three heroes who successfully sealed the Witch of Envy, the identity of the sage has always been the most mysterious. He mysteriously appeared and disappeared mysteriously. "The observation tower.And now, it is the sage's personal disciple Shaula who has been monitoring the place where the witch is sealed in this place called the sage's tower by later generations.

If there is anyone in this world who knows the sage and the dragon best, apart from the Sin Witch of the same era, there is only this sage disciple left behind.She has kept a lot of knowledge and compiled books known only to sages, and is one of the few people in the world who holds the truth.

Because the matter is extremely urgent, there is not much time for everyone to work hard, so this meeting is just a cursory discussion about who will accompany and who will stay, and then they will decide on the departure time and start their own actions

This time, there were 6 people who went to the Tower of the Sage with Tang Cheng. In addition to Tang Cheng, the team leader, there was also Emilia, who was protected by Tang Cheng as a knight, and another Wang Xuan representative who was mixed in. As for Priscilla, although everyone was surprised that she volunteered uncharacteristically, there seemed to be no reason to refuse.The only surprising thing is that Priscilla even left her knight and went alone (Al's hand was injured by Tang Cheng, and he couldn't use a weapon for a long time), making people wonder what prompted her to do this Go your own way.

But this point, probably only Priscilla and Tang Cheng knew it well.

The next three positions are filled by Natsuki Subaru, Julius and Roswaal.

After this matter was settled, everyone was only given half a day to prepare. Under such circumstances, Tang Cheng had no time to go to his brides, so he could only hurry on the road.

The location of the Tower of the Sage is located in the desert adjacent to the southwest of the Kingdom of Luknica and the Frakia Empire. There are thousands of miles of yellow sand here, and the wind and sand are raging. Usually, few people approach it, and the Tower of the Sage stands in this desert. center.There was obviously a reason for Dragon God and the others to choose such a place to seal. Although the Envious Witch was indeed sealed, the power of the Witch who swallowed up half the world was still too strong, and the power she infiltrated evolved into Those terrible monsters.

Therefore, in addition to observing the status of the seal, the duty of the Sage Tower also includes the responsibility of controlling and destroying these monsters within this range.

It took Tang Cheng and the others three days to arrive at the desert called Akrot from the royal capital, and a day's journey had passed since the last time the village was replenished.

"I don't know if we can get there before the sun goes down today, or we'll have to camp outside again." Tang Cheng looked at the long yellow sand, but there was no sign of him, and sighed.

Although a total of 6 of them came this time, not counting Tang Cheng, the others were completely unafraid about the matter of the sage and the dragon.

It's not that they didn't try to hire a guide in a nearby village, but when they said their destination was this desert, no one was willing to go even if they offered a high price. In their minds, this desert It is cursed that all those who go to this land will be kept by death and never come back.

Tang Cheng couldn't help feeling in his heart, if he knew it would be like this, he might as well have exchanged with Reinhardt from the beginning, and went to the front line to drive Wushuang to mow the grass. Although it was a physical job, it was better than in this remote village. Those who don't go to the store after eating sand.When passing it back, go to seek the protection of the dragon, how can you destroy many enemies single-handedly, and the enemies who have been killed can hear loudly when they throw their helmets and armor off.

Just when he was slandering in his heart, Roswaal said, "There shouldn't be many roads left."

But Tang Chengcheng had heard him say this sentence at least three times since yesterday, so he sneered at his comforting words.

"Is that what your Gospel tells you?" Tang Cheng asked.

"Yes."

"That's not bad," Tang Cheng said with a smile: "Then tell me, can we slay the dragon this time?"

"..." Roswaal was taken aback, but quickly raised the corner of his mouth at Tang Cheng, and then lowered his voice: "If you are willing to help."

"I don't mind, but it's hard to tell others. After all, I remember that we came here to ask Shenlong for help." Tang Cheng said, "Maybe when you meet, ask him to give you some dragon blood.

The Pretentious Witch stole the dragon's blood from the palace's treasury. Tang Cheng knew that Roswaal must be worried about it. This time, he definitely wanted to do something secretly. Act a little more vigilantly.

"I understand." Roswaal replied with a smile.

Just by looking at his expression, it is impossible to see whether he is sincere, but this topic was interrupted by the participation of Emilia, Julius and others.

"There are traces of monsters ahead." Julius said: "The number is not too many, but the intensity is very high."

Their team consisted of two dragon carts, one for carrying people, one for pulling luggage, and two ground dragons for patrolling around.

This time, it happened to be the turn of Julius and Natsuki Subaru.

"There are traces of monsters, which means that we are already close to the seal of the witch?"

Tang Cheng remembered that Reinhardt said to himself that the closer to the seal, the more concentrated the number of monsters, which were derived from the witch's miasma.

"I think so." Julius nodded.

"Then pay attention to vigilance and move on." At the moment when Tang Cheng, the team leader, made a symbolic speech, a flash of light suddenly lit up at the end of the yellow sand in the sky, and then a heat ray destroyed the death light. The thing penetrated the land and launched towards Tangcheng and the others. Julius almost subconsciously rushed towards Natsuki Subaru on the side, and rolled him out, while Roswaal played Having acquired the qualities that a sorcerer should have, a dodge disappeared from the frame and appeared on the sand dunes more than ten meters away, leaving Tang Cheng alone on the entire dragon cart.

Damn, all of them are flashing so fast?

Tang Cheng didn't want to make a fuss at first, just get out of the way, but when he looked back, he thought that there were still Priscilla and Emilia in the carriage, so he could only draw out his own sword, and waved it at the rays that came from him. Down a sword.
