Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

Silas turned his face away, trying to suppress the enthusiasm in his eyes. He understood the deep meaning behind Sarannar's threat, but any tenderness that Sarannar showed now would only intensify the harm to him .

"I won't be so overwhelmed. I will live a good life as you wish in the future." Silas's voice changed a little, and he said hoarsely, "Go, don't come again."

"You will live, then what?" Sarannar still looked at him calmly, and said calmly, "And then you are going to help other humans deal with me?"

"How could I do such a thing?" Silas thought that he had completely given up on Sarannar, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge sadness and grievance because of these words. He paid for this love. With all his body and mind, it is unexpected that Sarannar still does not understand him today, "Even if I can't be with you in the future, how can I do things that hurt you?"

"I know that you just want to remain neutral, neither join me in dealing with humans, nor help humans deal with me." Sarannar said, "But you must also know in your heart that it is simply impossible."

Silas fell silent.

Salanar is right, it’s not that Silas is indifferent to this, he actually vaguely understands that as long as he is still in Silver Brook City, it is impossible to remain neutral, it’s just that he doesn’t have the time to think about what to do in the future .

Seeing the hesitation and confusion on his face, Sarannar guided him and said: "You are not an ordinary person who has nothing to do with this matter. As the closest human being around me, you know my most secrets, yes I am very familiar with my abilities and limitations, ways of thinking and weaknesses, so King Heather will definitely come to you. It is not difficult to imagine that he will use all possible methods to force you to take sides. And he will treat you But there is no emotion, in order to dig out useful information from your mouth, he will do everything possible, if you insist on refusing to help them deal with me, he will torture you with cruel punishment, or threaten you with your mother You. Even if you can really stand firm to the end, he can still use you as a bait to threaten or trap me with your life. As long as he announces that he will execute you, I will come to save you no matter what, even if I really don’t Come on, killing you will do him no harm. Since you have also been exposed to a lot of work by Smiling Hands, you should have no illusions about the morals of politicians. In the name of righteousness, what kind of ugly things can't be done by human beings? "

"...No matter what, I will definitely not help others deal with you." Silas said weakly, "If you don't trust me, kill me, I won't resist."

A certain thought that had just been suppressed could not be suppressed at this moment, and Silas once again felt that this would be the easiest solution for him. He looked at Salanar desperately and said: "Kill If you leave me, you can feel at ease, and I can also be relieved."

Sarannar's expression remained unchanged, he just lowered his eyes and kept his gaze on the empty desktop: "If I really want to do this, why should I tell you so much? I just want to Let me tell you, you didn't choose to remain neutral, since you chose to stand on the side of humans, you have to show the corresponding sincerity, otherwise they will definitely not make it easier for you."

"...What exactly do you want?" Silas realized that with Sarannar's character, he would not talk to him in vain, and he must be paving the way for a certain plan after talking so much.

"I have a plan that can solve your immediate predicament very well." Sarannar looked up at him and said, "As long as you kill me in public, all problems will be solved."

Silas opened his eyes wide because of surprise: "...Are you trying to fake death?"

"That's right. Over the years, I have been too sharp. I don't understand the principle of being a big tree to attract wind. It has caused too many people's fear. As long as I don't die for a day, they will always be restless. Just the conspiracy and calculations against me that you have seen are enough. There were several times, and there were more things you didn’t see—even the accident that almost killed me this time was full of conspiracy, if you knew who secretly revealed the news of an overseas island, which attracted people I took the risk to investigate, I am afraid you will not trust others even more in the future."

"...Who is it?" Silas couldn't help being curious.

"Your old friend, Prince Alistar."

This answer made Silas very surprised: "Why did he want to harm you? Didn't he always hope to reach a cooperation with you?"

"Who knows? Maybe he thinks that if the partner is me, he won't get any advantage from me, so it's better for me to die." Sarannar sneered, "Even without him There will be others, as long as I am a huge threat, there will always be people who will rack their brains to get rid of me, and I have no obligation to sit still, as long as they dare to do something, I will fight back fiercely, next time But it is hard to guarantee that my people will burn the entire Silver Stream City. But if the situation is allowed to go on like this, the grievances between the two sides will grow, and there will never be real peace between humans and dragons. So I want you Come and cooperate with me in staging such a good show of heroes slaying dragons. First, it allows me to temporarily get rid of the fear and calculations of those conspirators. After getting rid of the anger and fear in people's hearts, it will be easier for the two races to reconcile in the future. Most importantly, this will make your situation easier. A dragon-slaying hero who has changed his ways and returned to righteousness and killed his relatives will definitely receive unprecedented praise and status. It's better than being like this now, although you chose to stand on the side of humans, but everyone regards you as a slave and lackey of the Dragon Clan."

Silas felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart, but found that he couldn't find any reason to object.Either cooperate with Sarannar to ease the conflict between humans and dragons, and at the same time make the situation of Sarannar and himself easier, or sit back and watch humans and dragons continue to calculate and fight, resulting in mutual losses, or even happening again like today Such a tragedy, and he will continue to be spurned and attacked by people.

Whether in public or private, he has no better choice.

Thinking of Sarannar's foresight and comprehensiveness, Silas couldn't help asking: "How long have you been planning this matter?"

"I just figured it out too." Sarannar could only smile helplessly at his doubts, "The above two reasons are just incidental, even if I don't do this, from now on across the ocean, No matter how much human beings fear and hate me, they can't do anything to me, and this plan to cheat death is actually mainly for you."

"...for me?" Silas was stunned in disbelief.

Sarannar looked at him calmly, his golden eyes conveyed the same tenderness as always: "I actually have the most reason to hate you. You provoked me on the initiative, and when I fell in love with you, you betrayed me." I chose to stand with your clansmen instead of me. But even so, I still hope that you can live well in the future."

Hearing this, Silas's tears finally overflowed his eyes, he turned his head in embarrassment, not wanting to meet Sarannar's gaze, he was afraid that once he indulged in such unreserved tenderness, You will even lose the bottom line of being a human being: "It's already reached this point, why don't you just be unfeeling to me, tell me you love me now, what's the use?"

"Why is it useless?" Sarannar looked at him gently, "Even if you are determined to end this relationship, even if we will never see each other in the future, it will not prevent this relationship from having a complete ending, will it?"

Silas took a deep breath, pursed his lips and calmed down his emotions slightly: "I'm sorry, I don't know what to believe now."

"Just believe what you want to believe," Sarannar said.

Silas finally asked out the grievance in his heart: "Why didn't you tell me about the Dragon Slaying Crossbow?"

"Telling you everything may not be good for you. In that case, even if I told you in advance, it would be of no use except to upset you. Can you persuade the king to destroy the Dragon Slayer Crossbow peacefully? Or can you persuade me not to destroy them?" Sarannar sighed softly, "I didn't intend to adopt such an extreme way of dealing with it at the beginning, even though I tried my best to restrain it, my people still inevitably treated Silver Stream The civilians in the city caused some accidental injuries, I can understand your feelings, but as their leader, I must take the responsibility of defending the ethnic group."

Silas had already wiped away his tears, and except for a little redness in his eyes, his emotions have basically returned to calm: "I understand, from your standpoint, you have nothing wrong with this matter, the dragon-slaying crossbow is such a big threat and human beings It is impossible for you to sit idly by such an obvious calculation, and another dragon will only do it more aggressively than you."

"I'm glad we can still understand each other." Sarannar smiled sincerely.

"But our positions are still different. No matter how much I love you, no matter how much I understand your difficulties, I am still a human being." Silas' voice was not as calm as his expression, and he still couldn't stop revealing his heart of sorrow and pain.

"I know, it doesn't matter." Salanar still smiled, "Don't think so much, cooperate with me in this scene, as long as I get through the crisis in front of you, I can leave Andorcia with peace of mind."

Silas rubbed his face and tried his best to make a businesslike expression: "What should I do?"

"I don't think it will be long before King Heather will come to you and try to find out from you how to deal with me. At that time, you should be more cooperative and tell him that there are only a few fake dragon eggs on the top of the dragon. In addition, there are several real dragon eggs." Sarannar said, "Do you still remember the unknown ring in the hot spring pool?"

Silas nodded, of course he remembered that once when he was frolicking in the pool, he accidentally touched the pull ring that was invisible from normal angles, and asked Salanar what it was for, but Salanar Er babbled and diverted his attention in a more voluptuous way.

Silas's heart throbbed inevitably at the inadvertent remembrance of their past tenderness, Saranar didn't notice it, and continued: "As long as you pull that tab, a book will appear behind the bookshelf. Chamber of Secrets, 'True Dragon Eggs' are hidden in that Chamber of Secrets. Don't hesitate to offer them to your king, those are actually bird eggs I brought back from the island, very similar in size to dragon eggs, I hardened Cut the outer shell and make a little pattern on it, the disguised dragon egg is almost invisible, it should be enough to fool anyone, even if he wants to break it open to have a look."

"Um...then what?"

"You can propose to the king that you use dragon eggs as bait to set up an ambush against me at the Dragon Peak, and try to persuade King Heather to transport all the remaining dragon-slaying crossbows to the Dragon Peak so that I can destroy them all at once. they."

Silas let out a sigh of relief slowly: "Alright, after destroying the Dragon Slaying Crossbow, you can leave with peace of mind."

Sarannar smiled: "I'm afraid we will never be at ease. Human beings can create dragon-slaying crossbows now, and in the future they will be able to create dragon-slaying guns and dragon-slaying cannons. But it doesn't matter, the sense of urgency can actually promote the progress of my people."

Silas was a little confused: "I'm not as good at deceiving people as you are. What if the king doesn't fall for it?"

"Don't worry, as soon as he comes, you can use your mind magic to notify me, and I will personally guide you how to deal with that old fox." Sarannar said, "Nalz, the acting president of the Mage Association, is also my co-worker. Partner, he will try his best to help you lie, and convince King Heather with you."

"Is he reliable?"

"It's more reliable than anyone else, after all, no one will make things difficult for the interests at hand." Salanal said.

They discussed some details, and Sarannar left before dawn. A few hours later, King Heather came to Silas's house, unaware that he had stepped into a well-prepared trap.

Then, the drama of "slaying the dragon" officially kicked off.

"Your acting skills that day really impressed me." In the tavern, Salanar said to Silas with a happy expression, "King Heather, who claims to be shrewd, probably still doesn't know that he has been tricked. Happily hatching those eggs."

"Once they hatch the bird from the 'dragon egg', this matter will fall into place."

"Don't worry, it won't hatch." Sarannar said, "I brought back the eggs with space magic, and they are already dead things that can only be used to make egg drop soup. Even if he finds out that the dragon eggs are Fake ones can only admit that they are unlucky like Alistar, so can they still openly declare that they have been cheated? Even a fake dragon egg that can only be used to scare people is better than nothing."

"Yeah, when it comes to conspiracy, no one is your opponent." Silas said, "But now that humans hate you so much, how do you plan to end it?"

"In this world, there is no eternal hatred, only eternal interests. It is not the first time that the dragons have attacked human cities and villages, and they will forget the pain when the scars are healed." Salanar said with a smile, "Do you dare to make a bet with me that when the orcs start attacking humans again, they will change their song and start praising the power of dragons and the glory of dragon knights again."

"I'm not going to make a sure-to-lose bet with you." Silas drank the last sip of ale from the bottom of the glass, stood up to pay, and staggered out of the hotel.

"Where are you going?" Sarannar followed out, watching Silas, who was a little drunk, set foot on the road out of town.

"Where else can a 'dead man' go?" Silas put the long sword in his hand on his shoulder. Eggs."

"I'll go with you." Sarannar caught up a few steps and stood side by side with Silas.

Silas hiccupped and looked at Sarannar drunkenly: "Then what about your dragons?"

"They are safe on Long Island now, and besides, I have already worried so much about them, and occasionally I need to take a long vacation." Sarannar still maintained that ordinary appearance, but his smile was like this afternoon. As bright as the sun, "There are still many novel things waiting to be explored in this world. It's boring to be stuck on an island."

"...It's up to you, anyway, I can't stop you even if I want to." Silas sighed, and embarked on a new journey with drunken steps.

A year later, the defense line of Andorcia, which had been stable for decades, was breached by the giant eagle knights of the orcs, and Yehelena fled to Testara under the protection of the smiling hand.

Five years later, the entire territory of Andorcia fell, and Testara, led by the young king Alistar, struggled to resist the attack of the orcs by relying on the natural danger of the barren canyon.

At the critical moment of the war, the returning Dragon Clan was welcomed like a savior. The leader of the Dragon Clan, Yukikaze, and the King of Tesdarra, Alista, joined hands to create a new chapter in the relationship between humans and the Dragon Clan. The dragon knight who was born was cast aside by people as a swear-breaker, a shameful traitor, and a despicable villain who followed suit. Those songs that once praised him were quickly forgotten to the corner by people, and no one mentioned them again.

There are also some places where people tell the story of a brave and fearless red-haired mercenary. He and his companion mage of unknown origin have repeatedly rescued innocent humans from the hands of orcs. The leader of the dragon knight is very similar.
