Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

"But space magic cannot store living things." Silas said, "Even though the dragon egg is still an egg, it can still be regarded as a living thing."

"Indeed." The old mage Nalz also confirmed this statement, "Any space magic can go in alive and come out dead. As long as the dragon egg has been put in, it can only be used to make fried eggs. So the dragon egg should still be there."

"Whether it's still there or not, you just need to check again." Silas said, "If the dragon egg is still there, Sarannar will definitely go back to get it, and with his cautious character, he probably won't With great fanfare, he will only sneak back to the top of the dragon, and if we can set a trap on the top of the dragon in advance, we can have a chance to kill him-this may be our only chance."

King Heather was completely attracted by this plan, and he began to think about more possibilities: "The terrain on the top of the dragon is more favorable to dragons, but it is not very friendly to us, and we cannot spread too many troops." , if the dragon egg is really still there, we can also find a way to use the dragon egg to lure him to the Blue Palace. In the underground palace of the Blue Palace, once he changes back to his original form, he will be stuck and can only take the human form To withstand traps and attacks."

"Then it's hard to say whether he will come to get it secretly by himself, or attack with a large group of dragons." Silas didn't agree with this plan, "and I once heard him mention that if he was killed, his The body will explode and die with the murderer."

Nalz's eyes were straightened: "That must be corpse explosion, gods, he dared to use such a terrible magic on himself."

"...How big will the explosion be?" King Heather asked.

The old mage counted with his fingers: "Based on his size... not only the Blue Palace, but he will burn most of the northern city to the ground."

King Heather fell silent.

Silas said: "I'm afraid the ambush location can only be chosen at the top of the dragon, and we don't have time to prepare a more suitable place. It's a pity that there are only two dragon-slaying crossbows. If there are more, the success rate will be higher." too much."

"There are still a few semi-finished products that have not been assembled. I can let the craftsmen drive them out as soon as possible." King Heather sighed, "How to transport them to the top of the dragon is also a problem."

"The cable car on the cliff is strong enough. Sending more people should be able to hoist the dragon-slaying crossbow up." Silas said, "But if there are more people, it's hard to guarantee whether we can keep the secret and prevent the dragons from discovering our actions in advance."

"In the past few days, I will let the Military Intelligence Department focus on cracking down on the Smiling Hand and the Dragon Worship Cult. Even if they can't be wiped out, at least they can be paralyzed for a while." Although King Heather's face is still not very good, his expression is no longer the same as before. So tired, he supported the table and stood up, "But all of this must be based on the premise that there are really dragon eggs on the top of the dragon. Let's go, let's go and confirm it."

Until yesterday, the reconstruction of the barracks area was still in full swing on the top of the dragon, but suddenly such an unexpected thing happened, the soldiers and workers who hadn't had time to evacuate were whispering in the shed, and put some Unreliable conjectures and rumors spread everywhere.

By the time King Heather and Silas set foot on the top of the dragon again, Saka the butcher had cleared them all away, and was going to replace them with the king's most reliable guards. Not to mention, at least in terms of execution He's pretty good.

Sarannar's cave is a bit messy, and the residence has been turned into a mess. Someone must have been ordered to search for suspicious items last night.

Under the watchful eyes of King Heather and his entourage, Silas jumped into the hot spring pool, groped inside and found a pull ring, and after pulling it hard, there was a rattling sound of mechanism running in the cave. On the stone wall, a well-hidden stone door was removed, revealing the dark passage behind.

Silas went in first, and the others followed hesitantly with torches.

The depths of the passage are quite warm due to the penetration of geothermal heat, but it doesn't make people feel hot. Six dragon eggs lie quietly in a nest made of silk, cotton wool and feathers.

"Great, he really didn't have time to take the dragon egg away." Silas said happily, holding a dragon egg with both hands.

King Heather looked at the dragon egg in his hand: "Smash it open."

Silas froze for a moment: "But... this is a dragon egg."

King Heather said calmly: "Although it is a bit wasteful, the leader of the dragon clan is always cunning. We must confirm the authenticity of the dragon eggs."

"...That's true." Under the king's scrutiny, Silas lifted the dragon egg and smashed it against the rock wall very hard.

The hard shell of the egg broke open, and the yolk and white flowed all over the floor.

The old mage Narz said distressedly: "What a pity, a dragon could have been hatched."

"...It's a pity, this plan is worth the risk only after confirming that the dragon eggs are real." The king let out a sigh of relief, and ordered to the left and right, "Bring over the remaining dragon-slaying crossbows."

The preparations were carried out secretly and quickly, during which Silas never left the Dragontop.

As if nothing had happened, he peacefully slept on the stone bed where he and Sarannar had spent countless intimate times. When he woke up, he went to eat in the temporary work shed in the barracks area. It turned out to be bad.

"You look calm." Saka, the butcher sitting next to him, said during the meal.

After the dragon knight's rebellion happened, in order to express his sincerity to the Dragon Clan, he once transferred the real power of the Dragon Summit to Silas, who had always been the nominal leader, but he did not leave the Dragon Summit.

"Are you disappointed that you didn't see me break down?" Silas replied deadpan.

"No, I'm very glad that you finally recognized your position, and you are not obsessed with it." Butcher Saka said with a smile that was obviously not very sincere.

"Say it as if you've been in such a dilemma before." Silas really didn't want to talk to him.

"Who hasn't been confused when he was young? I used to think that Sarannar's attitude towards us dragon knights was even more friendly than most humans in this world. But in the final analysis, a dragon is a dragon, and you It's just a human after all."

Silas frowned, suddenly lost his appetite, put down his plate and walked out without a word.

Sarannar came more suddenly than they had imagined.

That morning, like any morning in this season, the air was filled with a faint mist. Although the mist was not very thick, it was blurry even hundreds of meters away.

The dragon-slaying crossbow had just been transported to the foot of the dragon peak, and the first dragon-slaying crossbow was hoisted into the air by the cable car, when the black dragon suddenly appeared from the mist without warning.

Before everyone had time to react, he opened his mouth wide, and a magical lightning strike accurately hit the cable car. The cable car, which had never had any problems since the establishment of the Dragon Summit, was disconnected from the middle. The dragon-slaying crossbow, which had been suspended for half a day, crashed down, smashing the horse shed and another dragon-slaying crossbow into pieces.

He sprayed flames on the other dragon-slaying crossbows, and the arms made of fine iron melted like butter in the high-temperature flames.

When the soldiers ambushing on the top of the dragon found this situation, they all screamed and tried to shoot arrows at the black dragon in the air, but the black dragon ignored the arrows shot by ordinary bows and crossbows at all, and said that it would happen The members of the Mage Association who helped them fight will not arrive until this afternoon.

The majestic voice created by magic resounded through the entire Dragon Peak with frightening anger: "Sylas, come out!"

No one answered him, and after circling around, he couldn't find Silas. The angry black dragon began to breathe fire at the people on the cliff.

People got into the dragon's lair to avoid the deadly spray, but unfortunately, some of them were slow to be sprayed. They screamed and rolled on the ground, and some even fell off the cliff, turning into a fast Falling fireball.

Silas couldn't stand it anymore, and he came out of one of the caves, shouting, "Stop! Don't kill any more!"

The black dragon stopped attacking temporarily. He grabbed the rocks on the cliff and roared at Silas: "What have you done? In order to surrender to the human king, you stole my dragon egg and smashed it. one!"

"I just did what I should have done a long time ago!" Silas yelled at him without fear, "When you attacked Silver Brook, how many parents lost their children, and their pain In comparison, smashing your dragon egg is nothing?!"

Sarannar asked bitterly: "Do you really want to be my enemy?"

"Didn't I already do that?"

"Okay...very good." Sarannar's voice was full of anger, "Since you insist on seeking your own death, go to death with your people!"

Said, Saranar took a deep breath.

Silas had no intention of just sitting there waiting to die. He quickly hid in the nearby cave, avoiding the direct spray, but the black dragon's flames burned the rocks at the entrance of the cave red, and the surrounding air seemed to be ignited. The scorching heat made Silas's skin feel the tingling pain of being burned.

Although the fog that day was not so thick that the Dragon Summit could not be seen from one end to the other, no one could say exactly what happened next.

According to the descriptions of the surviving soldiers, the angry black dragon sprayed a big mouthful of fire at the cave where Silas was hiding. Everyone thought that Silas must have been burned alive by the black dragon in the cave.People don't have time to mourn for him, the dragon slaying crossbow has been destroyed, and the mage hasn't come yet, they have no other way to deal with the black dragon, some people have already fled to the nine thousand steps, hoping that the black dragon has no interest in chasing it These humble humans, some of them hid in a certain cave and pretended to be dead, hoping that they could escape this catastrophe if they were not discovered.

So no one was in the mood to observe what happened carefully. They only knew that the black dragon took a breath, folded its wings and entered the cave, probably wanting to confirm whether the human being who made him hate it so much was alive or dead.

Then there were some weird fighting sounds inside. Some people said that they heard the black dragon spit fire again, some people said they heard the roar or scream of the black dragon, and some people boldly looked out from the cave where they were hiding. Glancing at it, he saw the black dragon backing out of the cave from a distance, and Silas held a spear for air combat that was removed from the saddle of the dragon knight in his hand, and stabbed deeply into the black dragon's chest chest.
