Chapter 590 Hallucination?

The girl's language was not too unfamiliar to Lothar.

It's a bit like Norse, and it's also very similar to the accent of those Slavic amber merchants who travel the Black Sea trade route, which are very rare in the Holy Land.

This feeling of familiarity…

Lothar recalled carefully for a while, and suddenly recalled the Prince Rurik named Yaroslav whom he had met on the Black Sea. They should have spoken the same language.

Many speculations flashed through his mind, the most reliable of which was probably that the unformed space spell that Shermail had cast before was activated by the ghost dragon's counterattack before it died.

The two phases were superimposed, causing him to be transported to the territory of the Slavs by chance.

The girl in despair is still crying, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes, which is really endearing.

But Lothar, who had always been surrounded by beautiful women, only felt irritated. He rubbed his brows and tried to calm himself down.

Being sent thousands of miles away out of thin air, even if he transformed into a half-dragon, he would have the ability to temporarily stay in the air and glide. Although the consumption of half-dragon transformation is not as terrible as Jeanne's sacred body, it is by no means something that can be used on a regular basis. ability.

In other words, this is thousands of miles away, even if he is lucky enough to be able to board a river ship, and the river is lucky enough not to freeze over a large area, it will take at least several months to return to Egypt.

By the time I get back, the decisive battle with Saladin will be over.

Lothar was speechless for a while. Why were European monarchs like Richard so eager to take the teleportation array to Egypt without even bringing their own troops? Wasn't it just to catch up with this epic event that looked across the entire continent? A decisive battle?

As a result, I, the person who should least miss it, had to miss it.

If he had not been to the battlefield in person, the thrones of the Egyptian kings, Alexander and Cairo, would have been lost to him.

Perhaps if Coors manages it properly, he can still keep part of the spoils. Cairo can be given up, and the title of king can be given away, but Alexander must keep it in his hands. This is a city that was no less powerful than Constantinople in its heyday. It would be too bad if someone cuts you off.

etc!

If Prajna and the others come to look for my whereabouts, it's not certain whether we can win this battle.

After he disappeared, there was a high probability that King Richard the Lionheart would take over the leadership of the Crusade. This guy's commanding ability was undoubted, but he didn't see any powerful spellcasters around him, so it would be difficult for him to deal with Saladin's mage advisory group.

Therefore, after working hard to return to Egypt, it was not a bad result that the spoils of war were intercepted. The worst result was that the Crusaders were defeated and Semenud and Damietta had just gained a foothold. The two provinces were captured by the enemy again.

Yes, by that time, even the title of duke will be destroyed.

Lothar smiled bitterly and sat on the ground. The first priority was to find out her position. Although the girl in front of her was in a very embarrassed state, with her appearance and clothes, she could not be from a commoner.

At the very least, she must be a maid of a big noble or something.

If she could get help from the forces behind her, her return journey would undoubtedly become much easier.

"Do you speak Greek?"

Lothar suddenly asked.

If you are a Varangian with the same origin as Yaroslav, there is a high probability that you will convert to Orthodox Christianity. Many classics of the Orthodox Church are written in Greek. Although the professional quality of the clergy in this bitter cold land is definitely not good, no matter how bad the level is , and should also be able to say a few prayers in Greek.

There was a look of surprise on the woman's face, and then she said in a very difficult tone: "My heart is silent, waiting for God. My salvation comes from him."

She took out a cross from her robe and showed it to Lothar with tears in her eyes.

Lothar waved his hand and made a sign of the cross in front of him, and the communication between the two began amidst this stumbling.

for a long time.

Only then did Lothar realize that this place was actually in the Principality of Novgorod in the far north. The girl was also a princess of the Rurik family. Her father was the lord of a town on the Neva River, not far from this cave. at.

A demonic dragon had just destroyed the town and abducted her to the dragon's lair.

Lothar suspected that he had heard wrongly, and pointed to his feet in disbelief: "Dragon's Nest, here?"

The girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

Lothar frowned. With his sensitivity to the dragon's aura, if there was really a dragon hidden in this cave, how could he not discover it?

"Let's go inside and have a look."

Lothar said, planning to go deeper into the cave.

The girl's head shook like a rattle, and the tears that had stopped burst into her eyes again.

"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself."

After Lothar finished speaking, he walked towards the depths of the cave.

The girl who stayed there hesitated for a moment and paced for a long time before she mustered up the courage to follow.

The cave is very deep.

The further inside, the warmer it becomes, as if there is an invisible heat source that is constantly releasing heat.

She moved forward cautiously. Although there were some strange fluorescent plants growing on the wall, the light was still very dim. Her courage began to fade as she went deeper. But what was worse was that when she looked back, the light at the exit had completely disappeared. Gone.

Stuck halfway in the cave, a sense of grievance surged into her heart for a moment, and she held back tears. The girl hesitated for a long time before crawling inside again.

When there was finally some light in front of her eyes, reflecting the figure of the prince in gorgeous armor, the girl hurriedly quickened her pace - the source of the light was the huge scales on the ground that were flashing red.

There were huge dragon claw marks on the stone wall, and some traces of the giant beast's life.

The foreign prince who didn't speak the language was squatting down and stroking the scales carefully, as if he was feeling something.

The girl looked around nervously, and found that the dragon was not there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"While it's not here, let's leave here quickly."

She urged in a low voice.

Losa didn't understand, but just nodded to her and said: "You are right, there is indeed a dragon living here, and it is a Karelian fire dragon. Judging from its size, it is at most in its teens, which is a blessing in disguise."

Speaking of which, it was not the first time he had dealt with the Karelian fire dragon, and he didn't expect to encounter this rare dragon here.

He might as well stay in Northern Europe and complete all the milestones of bathing in dragon blood first.

Wait until I can transform into a dragon normally, then fly directly back to Egypt.

The girl understood a few words in Losa's words, but she didn't understand them at all when they were put together.

Losa tried to pick out some common words, and gestured and said: "You said that the dragon threw you to the cave entrance and went in to sleep, but judging from the traces, this should be where it usually sleeps. It's not here. I also explored deeper places. The deeper it goes, the narrower it gets. It's not easy for the dragon to squeeze in."

The girl showed a look of surprise.

"I don't know, I clearly saw it go in."

Losa lifted his chin and fell into deep thought.

The beast's intuition told him that the girl was not lying, so there was something else in this cave?

"Something's wrong."

He frowned suddenly. Although he didn't kill the ghost dragon himself, he also participated in the killing. But why didn't he get the prompt that the progress of the "Bathing in Dragon Blood" milestone increased?

Even if the ghost dragon was excluded from the list of true dragons by the system, with the strength shown by the ghost dragon, the experience gained by killing it should be enough to upgrade a few levels, but why didn't the system give a prompt?

The ghost dragon is not dead?

Or is this simply an illusion? His body is still in Egypt.

Losa frowned. If it is an illusion, it would be much more reasonable, because if the ghost dragon counterattacked before dying and detonated the space spell, how could it be so coincidental that it sent itself to Novgorod thousands of miles away without any injury?

Moreover, Karelia should be under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of Novgorod at this time.

How could it be so coincidental that he was sent to the hometown of the ghost dragon before his death? And coincidentally encountered a rare Karelian fire dragon again?

The more Losa thought about it, the more reliable this guess was, but if this was an illusion, how could he get out of it?

He slapped himself hard, the pain was very weak, but that was because his defense was too strong. He simply wiped the sharp edge of the dragon scales hard, and blood immediately gushed out.

The pain was so real that it didn't seem fake.

"It can't be that simple."

Lothar sighed.

If this place was really an illusion cast by the ghost dragon before his death as he guessed, it would not be easy to get out of it - he didn't dare to commit suicide. In many powerful illusion spells, once you die, you are really dead.

The girl looked at Lothar with concern, thinking he was crazy.

Lothar's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to himself: "This is definitely an illusion. Although I just had a meal before I came to Rashid, I had digested it long ago, but I still feel full now."

He sneered and mocked: "A beast is a beast, even the illusion constructed is so shallow"

The smile on his face suddenly solidified.

It was as if a line was passing through his mind.

The girl's words echoed again: "The whole town was burned down by this man-eating dragon."

"I saw it go in with my own eyes"

"And this weird feeling of fullness."

Lothar murmured softly, and the girl in front of him suddenly exclaimed and pointed at Lothar.

Lothar subconsciously reached out to touch it, and a piece of scales appeared quietly on his cheek without knowing when.

"It shouldn't be, I obviously didn't perform half-dragon transformation, and the shape of this scale..."

Lothar's mood suddenly sank.

He seemed to understand his current situation.
