Chapter 71 70 Crying in the Mist
Chapter 71 70. Crying in the Mist
Lu Yu's brain buzzed, and the first possibility he thought of was that Lulutis was exposed.
If he remembered correctly, Lulutis used the blood of the stupid dragon as the material to make the transformation potion for the stupid dragon... Could it be that he really smelled it!
But he has been with Lulutis for so long, and it's not like he hasn't smelled Lulutis before. He can't smell anything. What kind of nose does this dragon have?
"Girl with horns, open your bag and take out the things inside."
"Huh?"
Sigrid's reaction was exactly the same as Lu Yu's. She also thought that Lulutis was discovered, and she was ready to open the mixed-blood furnace, take the initiative, and punch the dragon's chin.
There was nothing suspicious in her backpack.
Sigrid looked at Lu Yu.
She only obeyed Lu Yu's orders. If Lu Yu refused, it would be a signal to take action.
Lu Yu hesitated for a while and nodded to Sigrid.
After getting the nod, Sigrid took off her backpack and began to take things out one by one.
Seasonings that she had saved for food, dry food that she had prepared, emergency scrolls that she had bought when she left Black Shield City, and...
When the Goblin King's severed hand, wrapped in layers of linen, was taken out, the dragon leaned over and carefully confirmed its breath.
"Open it."
The severed hand was processed by a famous craftsman in Black Shield City, so it did not decay, but remained in the same shape as when it was cut off.
The dragon stared at the severed hand for a long time without saying a word.
"You killed him?" There was no emotion in the dragon's tone.
Lu Yu also realized that the dragon should know the Goblin King, so he quickly told him about his previous encounter with the Goblin King.
While Lu Yu was narrating, the dragon's body changed.
The soil and rocks covered with green moss on its back kept peeling off, and reddish-brown scales had already appeared in some places.
After Lu Yu finished telling the story of the Goblin King, the dragon looked up and looked in the direction of Yas, his eyes were a little blurred.
"Yes, thirty years have passed... or forty years, his lifespan should have reached its limit."
"Gold level... this evaluation standard seems to be made by humans, and each place is not quite the same, and it is unclear to what extent he has reached his peak."
The dragon tilted his head, as if recalling something: "Did I sleep so long this time?"
"Do you know the Goblin King?" Lu Yu asked.
"When he was besieged by the Centaurs, I roared out of boredom and saved him by chance." The dragon said, "Later, in order to repay me, he stayed by my side for a while... It turned out that so much time has passed..."
After speaking, the dragon stared at Lu Yu again.
"Since he admires you, I won't ask what the thing in your backpack with goblins, dragons, slimes, giant fire lizards, and other subtle smells is."
"Human, you can leave now, don't disturb my rest."
The dragon made way.
Lu Yu, who was sweating, thanked Sigrid and walked straight forward.
This dragon was far more powerful than Lu Yu had imagined. According to Lulutis's speculation in the chat room, he was at least gold or even above.
A dragon of this strength is almost invincible in this land where magicians are generally at the fourth level and monsters are at the highest level of gold. If he wants, he can easily destroy the defenseless human empire and alien communities.
Unless the whole country is used to fight, there is only one way to die when facing such a powerful dragon.
Fortunately, this dragon is not cruel. On the contrary, he looks very lazy.
Judging from the soil and vegetation on his back and what he said, he had slept for nearly forty years, and he was going to take a nap. Lu Yu had already heard the dragon yawning fiercely.
Some races sleep for a lifetime, and wasting time does not affect their strength. They waste time only because they have a long life and do nothing.
Some races can barely touch the starting point of other races after fighting for their entire lives. Just like this, he has become old and is about to die before he can even enjoy the fruits of his efforts.
Did the Goblin King return to the Luotan Plain from here?
What did he see from the dragon and what was he thinking?
Lu Yu didn't know.
"Human, for that guy's sake, I remind you of one thing."
The dragon yawned again, and its wings slightly opened, as if it was about to take off.
"Don't walk around when it's foggy."
It was a sentence without a beginning or an end, and it was unknown what the deep meaning was. After saying it, the dragon flapped its wings and took off, disappearing from Lu Yu's sight.
They had no relationship with the dragons, so it was good enough that they were willing to remind them casually, so Lu Yu naturally did not ask any further questions.
It was not until Lu Yu left the valley that he understood the meaning of "there may be strange monster activities in foggy weather".
In any case, it was enough to pass through the Dragon Valley safely. When he first saw the dragon, Lu Yu's heart almost stopped beating.
In film and television literature, the dragons are always on the screen, and between the lines, no matter how much you imagine, you can't really feel immersive.
Only when you really face them, you will know why dragon slayers are respected by people in this world.
Most people have the courage to confront the dragon head-on, but after they see the dragon, the huge size difference and the strong momentum will make these outstanding people deform their movements and tremble.
For those who are not strong-willed, just standing in front of the dragon will consume all their strength.
Lulutis said that Lu Yu performed very well. He was able to remain calm and talk to the dragon when he saw it for the first time.
Lu Yu thought that this was because the dragon did not show obvious malice... If he fought hard, he didn't know whether his summoning ceremony could be completed smoothly.
"Take it slow. How long have you been a magician? It's too strict to ask you to face the dragon without forced errors right away. When I was a child, I was so scared that I couldn't release fireballs when facing giant forest spiders, but now..."
"Now you can't release fireballs either." Lu Yu complained.
"Lu Yu!"
"Okay, don't hit me. Your tentacles hurt people recently. Is the seal loosened?"
"It's just that the magic power of the body has recovered a little, and the overall strength has increased."
These words made Lu Yu very happy. Lulutis could recover a little bit. Even if she couldn't use high-level magic, as a tentacle monster, she had enough physical strength to do a lot of things.
The trio walked and stopped. On the tenth day after leaving the Dragon Valley, Sigrid stood on the hill and looked at the distance with a frown.
"Master, it seems to be foggy. The fog is very thick and you can't see far away at all."
Lu Yu, who was grilling meat, threw a few skewers of barbecue in his hand to Lulutis and walked to the hill to take a look himself.
As Sigrid said, there was thick fog not far away, and visibility was extremely low. With the breeze, the fog seemed to spread.
The two hurried back to the fire, took the skewers from the barbecue chef Lulutis, and ate them quickly.
Lu Yu always kept the dragon's reminder in mind. Since leaving the Dragon Valley, they no longer traveled at dawn. They would start their journey only when the sun dispelled the fog in the forest.
No matter what dangers the fog had, as long as they kept the dragon's warning in mind, there would be no problem.
This time was the same. After eating the barbecue, the three people quickly entered the cave they found. In order to prevent accidents, Lulutis found a lot of branches and piled dead wood at the entrance of the cave to disguise it.
After doing all this, Lu Yu and the other two lit a small bonfire in the cave and played cards by the firelight.
Yes, it was playing cards.
If there was no entertainment to make the trip too boring, the three people would have problems sooner or later.
In order to let everyone relax before the break, Lu Yu tore off the paper from the notebook used for taking notes, cut it into the same size, and made a simple poker.
Originally, I thought I needed to introduce the rules to the two for a long time, but I never thought that Lulutis would get the hang of it quickly, because she had played a similar card game in Solon, which was one of the favorite entertainment activities of the nobles.
In this way, the only unlucky person in the team was confirmed to be Sigrid. She almost always lost when she first came into contact with poker.
The three of them were playing Landlord. Sigrid was probably the only one who would shout Landlord no matter what the cards were. However, she did shock Lu Yu by shouting Landlord at the beginning. He was so scared that he thought Sigrid had some big cards, which were enough to kill him and Lulutis.
She lost the game, but not her momentum.
However, after a few days of miserable defeat, Sigrid, who was always painted on the face with charcoal pencils, finally got rid of the rookie stage and started to kill Lu Yu and Lulutis.
Tonight, Sigrid had very good luck with cards. She even got the three bombs to start with, which blew the landlord Lulutis to a bloodless face... Oh, you can't see her face, but she was screaming in the chat room anyway.
Because she couldn't use charcoal pencils to paint on Lulutis's face, her punishment was special.
Sigrid picked up a small amount of sand with her fingertips and sprinkled it on Lulutis's body.
"Woo woo woo..."
"Woo woo woo..."
Sigrid was a little embarrassed. The punishment was said by Lulutis herself. Now Lulutis is sobbing. Would it be better to change it?
Lu Yu muttered in the chat room: "You set the rules. Don't sob when you lose. It will make it difficult for Sigrid."
Lulutis was full of questions.
"Who sobbed? Do you think I'm a noble lady who can't afford to lose?"
"Do you know that I just tilted my head back and got a face full of sand?"
"Woo woo woo..."
"..."
"..."
The three put down their cards at the same time.
They suddenly realized... the crying sound came from outside the cave.
