Dragon and knight Ji gl

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, and under the shade of a tree in the capital of Walsh, a woman in a white robe leaned over, with a gentle smile on her face, and approached Leif's ear:

"...Miss Knight also looks like a bully, that's why the big princess said that you are similar to her sister. No wonder? She, after all, I saw Miss Knight Sometimes, I can't help but want to be a bad sister..."

"But even if the three girls didn't lie, they couldn't possibly be the ones present. The source of the news is just hearsay? Since it's hearsay, it may not be credible..." Leif had read Hilton's letter to her before. Natia Vida's letter, the details of Princess Sabrina who was seriously injured in order to rescue Princess Alicia are still fresh in her memory, and the "bad sister" who is bitten by the magic dragon behind her, she endured Can't help but refute.

"What if what they said is undeniable?" Natia Vida's smile hadn't subsided, and she got closer to Leif, "Why is Miss Knight so repelled by this possibility...you It seems that, before meeting?, I had some good feelings towards Princess Sabrina, I don't understand? Why is this..."

"Even if it's true, that? It's only part of the truth." Leff turned his face, "My thoughts haven't changed in the slightest, and I will still do what should be done. Let Princess Alicia? Go back to Sabrina Princess? It's better to be by... than to be next to a bloodthirsty monster."

With Natia Vida beside her, half of Leif's body was almost stiff.She forced herself to take a step forward calmly, then turned around and looked at Natia Vida.

What Lev didn't expect was that Natia Vida avoided her gaze, and even raised the veil in his hand to cover half of his face.If it wasn't for her understanding of the true face of the magic dragon, she would even feel that she was naturally shy and shy.

"That's it," Natia Vida stood up straight, clutching the handkerchief in her hand, and walked to the door of the mansion, a voice came from a distance, "I think you are right."

"My lord, are you sweating and blushing, are you..." After Natia Vida left, Medra whispered in Leif's ear, with a somewhat urgent tone, "Are you shy?" ?”

"Not only was I sweating, my face was flushed, my mind was blank, and my stomach was convulsing," Leif said calmly. "Blood was flowing from the rest of my body to my extremities, ready to attack or run for my life—I thought it was just Is it just a physiological change that occurs naturally after encountering danger?"

"What does this mean?" Medra, "The master started saying strange things that I couldn't understand."

"I just realized that I tried to cut a dragon with a machete before, but it didn't cut through the knife. This is really not a phenomenon that can be explained by luck." Leff looked at his scabbard, "It can only prove that, She didn't show...real strength."

"The magic dragon gave you a very powerful weapon, and also treated you very... humbly." Medra's words seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, "According to my understanding, isn't this a kind of friendliness? ?"

Leff held Medra in his hand and pulled his face a few times like playing games, until the latter bared his teeth and didn't stop.

Since Medra came back from eating at Natia Vida's place yesterday and was scolded by Leif on the lid of the cup, some changes have taken place.In Leff's opinion, it looks more pleasing to the eye? Much more pleasant to speak.This made Lev feel a subtle sense of discomfort in addition to being relieved, but in general, the relief prevailed.

Leif was just a little curious, why did Medra seem to be on the side of the dragon?But then she thought again, even if Medra is just a little berry, she is also a thinking little berry, and the likes and dislikes of a thinking little berry are probably as complicated as human beings, so it is not easy to be- Interfering, so I didn't mention it.

"The so-called friendliness can only be produced between friends. If you want to be friends, you need to be of equal strength, at least not too far apart. Otherwise, either the high side keeps paying? Or the low side pretends to be able to afford more than The upper limit. In short, an unequal relationship cannot be maintained for a long time." Leif said, "The requirement to be an opponent is the same as the requirement to be a friend. One side always wins, and the other side has no chance of winning. Isn't this called an opponent?"

After a pause, he continued: "At some point, I really couldn't help but think, should I kill her? Is it possible for her to be my friend? I thought the choice was in my hands? And the truth is, she didn't do her best, and she made me overwhelmed. I thought I had a choice, but I didn't have a choice at all. It wasn't that she could treat me as she wanted to; What? When I was playing, she pestered me. When she lost interest in me, she could leave me and leave at any time..."

"It's strange, it's a bit sad to say it like this." Lai Fu raised his knife and looked up at the sky without a trace of clouds. A moment of sadness flashed across his face, "I mean, the gap I estimated at the beginning , it deviates by more than a little bit.”

"So..." Medra asked cautiously, "Are you... lost?"

"On the contrary, recognizing the reality has made me calmer. It's better than being kept in the dark." Leif took a deep breath, then walked towards the mansion, and said firmly, " Because the dragon is in that place, she was born to be conquered by me..."

Madeira stopped on Leif's shoulder, pursed her lips into a straight line, rolled her eyes a few times, and then glanced towards the corner of the street.

Leif didn't know that the owner of the bookstall didn't go far.

After disappearing from her vision, the three girls became three cat lice on the black cat, and the old woman stood on the corner of the street, and did not leave until Leif returned to the gate of the mansion.

"Old man," the old woman stroked the smooth fur of the black cat, "Sure enough, the calculation is not wrong. It seems that this business will still be worthwhile in the future. It's the head—don't you think so?"

The black cat opened its mouth, yawned, let out a sleepy cry, and then drooped its eyelids.

Three days later, in the morning, at the northern end of Walsh's capital in the country of Elvis, on the edge of the notorious Dan Sai Desert.

At this time, the weather was clear, the air was dry, and there was no cloud in the sky. However, it was supposed to be able to see the flat desert at the edge, but it was like a layer of fog. It's not clear at all.

The flag painted with swords and rose branches was flying in the dry wind, and the fine sand and dust in the air stained the original bright color of the flag? It was a bit dim.

Captain Hilton was at the forefront of the knight order, and beside him was Princess Sabrina who was also riding a horse.

"Please be sure to rescue Alicia, even if it costs you your life." Princess Sabrina said, "If something unfortunate happens, I will give you a generous pension to ensure that the bereaved In the second half of my life, I will live a good life, without worrying about anything."

"But no matter what the result is, as a reward for the friendship of the northerners, I swear in the name of Crown Prince Elvis that after I formally ascend the throne and become king, I will relax the commandment to the temple. And allow the priests to come here to preach the teachings and set up a parish—although I don't think my people are willing to abandon their original beliefs."

As he said that, he looked at the knights behind Hilton: "I hope you can achieve your goal in this trip, and I also hope that when we meet next time, your bodies will be intact and still alive?—— Knights."

Princess Sabrina's words have the unique accent of the southerners, giving people a sticky and soft feeling.Although in the entire continent of Germany and Asia, the language is basically the same, but the discourse of each place always subtly carries? different values.If it weren't for the past few days, the members of the Knights had dealt with many southerners, and it would be easy for them to refer to Princess Sabrina's words—for example, in her sentence referring to the "survivor" The tense implies that she thinks this is the inevitable result? - interpreted as intentional offense.

After talking with Hilton for a few more words, Princess Sabrina left with her subordinates.

Hilton turned back and counted the number of people with his eyes.

Fifty knights and a female envoy, like Hilton, wore masks that covered their hair, mouth and nose.

Within the Elvis border, there are large areas of rainforest and grassland near the coastline, while the inland part is mostly desert.However, because the rainforest and grassland are too close to the two continents in the south of the Deya continent, few people dare to take the risk of encountering smuggled monsters to live in it.Therefore, most of the towns, including the capital, are located in oases in the inland desert.

This kind of mask is a must-have for local people when dealing with sand and dust weather, and it can also be used to block too strong sunlight during the day.Originally, many people in the Knights wanted to rely on the unique sunshine in the south to "maintain" their skin, but soon discovered that before the skin was raised to a dark and attractive color, sunburn and skin diseases would Get there first.

After putting on the mask, only a pair of eyes were exposed. They had been on their way in the middle of the night, but the knights' eyes were not tired at all.

Just yesterday, the knights were still like tourists who had just come to the southern region, and they never left their mouths. Two topics: one is the southern girl, and the other is various anecdotes of paganism, strange people and tricks.This one wears fancy clothes all day long, that one buys a bunch of strange musical instruments and handicrafts, and the rest go to learn languages ​​from enthusiastic girls from the jungle... Hilton was even suspicious for a while, thinking that these boys Everyone was ready to throw down their knight robes and rush to become the son-in-law of a heretic.

However, at this moment, the knights all kept their mouths shut and quietly rode on their horses. All they needed was a command from him, and they could risk their lives without hesitation.

"This is the first time we have set foot in this land. We don't have enough understanding of that mysterious monster. Everything we do is based on the will of the temple—this is our only reliance, God? Will be on our side, we just need to do everything we can. Now—" Hilton wrinkled his face, reddened nose from the wind and sand allergy under the mask, turned forward, and pulled out of the sheath He drew out the epee and pointed it forward, "Let's go."

Half a horse behind Hilton is Lance, and Leif and Natia Vida are at the end of the knight team.

"Lord Natia Vida," Leif looked at the calm-faced Demon Dragon beside him, this time the latter did not insist on riding with her on the same horse, "I always feel? You have a lot of knowledge, maybe you know more. "

"That's not true. The wind and sand here will damage my skin. Although I have something that must be taken away from here, I have never been here before." Natia Vida raised her hand and took the original cover He got a tight mask, and pulled it up again, "However, there are some things that may be harmful if known, and perhaps it's better not to know."

--

The knights rode their horses and entered from the edge of the desert.

Fine dust particles are distributed in the air.The dust and mist gradually became thicker, and in the originally dry desert, there was a musty smell that would only be caused by long-term rainy weather.

On a clear morning, as the sun rises to the middle of the sky, the temperature will gradually rise. However, in this weird desert, the further the knights go, the dimmer the light becomes, and even gradually ? A dark and cold feeling.

Is the vision being hindered more and more seriously? Originally, Leff could still see Hilton and Lance walking in the front, but gradually found that the knights in the front row were gradually engulfed by the dust and mist, and all she could see was the distance from her. The recent companions, if it wasn't for the sound of horseshoes, didn't change much, she almost felt that many companions had disappeared.

Due to the blurred line of sight, the team's progress slowed down significantly.

Hilton was at the front of the team, holding a compass in his hand, to ensure that the direction of the team was not wrong, so that there would be no phenomenon of returning to the original place after walking for a long time.

The knight in the back rode his horse and followed the knight in front.

"Follow up!"

"Hi, where are you?"

From time to time, there will be a few more shouts from the line to make sure no one drops out.

Laif felt the restlessness of the bay red horse, and even stopped several times.Animals are often more sensitive to danger than humans.There was also a sense of uneasiness in Leif's heart.

The speed of the horse gradually became similar to that of a person walking. When Leff saw that the knight in front of him had dismounted from his horse, he also changed to walking.

"Lily, don't be afraid." Lev stroked the chestnut horse's mane soothingly as she walked.

The bay red horse seemed eager to show that he was not afraid, so he tilted his head and sneered at his master's face with his nostrils.

The dust and mist gradually became like a pot of milky white fish soup that was getting thicker and thicker as it boiled. Not only did it completely limit the field of vision to a distance of a few inches, but it also gradually produced a strange fishy smell amidst the musty smell.

"Ahem..." Leff was so smoked that he felt dizzy.

After a moment of distraction, she could neither see her companion nor hear the hooves of the horses except Lily.

In the thick dust and fog, she couldn't distinguish the direction, she didn't know which direction was closer to their goal, and which direction was farther away from their goal-naturally, she didn't know which direction was closer to death, That? One direction is farther from death.

"Captain Hilton...Lance...cough cough...where are you?..." Covering her mouth and nose with her hands, breathing hard, Leff then? loudly? The knight's name, but no one responded.In the end, she had to call out the name she least wanted to be called, "Natya Vida...cough cough...Master Natia Vida...where are you...if you can hear If it's my voice, please..."

Just when Laif looked around in a daze, a pale and thin hand suddenly appeared in the thick dust and mist.

"Natia Vida..." Leff felt? His heart was soaring high, and then? It fell back to its original place almost instantly.

She has never been regarded as an "opponent", but just treated as a useless and fun gadget, given away, teased, that's all; when it comes to the critical moment, she can only look at? How shameful it was for Leif not to ask her dragon for help.

But she couldn't deny that when she thought of Natia Vida by her side, she suddenly felt relieved.

— Shameful peace of mind, called cowardice.

Holding Lily who dared not move her hooves, Leif ran towards the direction of that hand, stretched out her hand, and held "her" tightly: "It's you, Nati Yaveda..."
