Chapter 105 Black Dragon and Shapeshifter
Gawain felt alert and pecked the crow's little white head.
“Qua~~”
The crow Xiaobai chirped, stopped landing, and spread its wings to fly high. The tauren officer who was turning his crossbow on top of the city and had just aimed at it suddenly showed a regretful expression.
Cursing and cursing.
Xiaobai stayed away from the city-state of Kebik and flew south.
After a while.
A small town closest to the city-state of Kebik appeared in sight. Gawain spread his wings and flew down from the sky, landing on a wooden house in the town. He pricked his ears and silently collected information.
"Sister Lisa, is there green soup today? I really want to drink it~~"
"Artest and Abel started fighting outside the town again. Go, go."
"I bet five bronze stars."
"Nick actually hunted a wild boar, what a blessing."
"Don't worry, my husband is not at home~~"
"I heard that another witch was hanged at the city gate. Lord Heber plans to hang the witch's body for seven days and seven nights in order to please the 'Daughter of God'."
“This year’s temperatures seem to be a little more comfortable than usual.”
"Hard, hard~~"
"There are still a few days left before the mushrooms and laurel fruits in the fields can be picked. This year will be a good harvest. I praise the 'daughter of God' and may she always be beautiful and happy."
"Never wear a robe when entering the city..."
Soon after, Gawain got the information he wanted and flew away from this town managed by [Lion-Hearted Man].
turn out to be.
The owner of the city-state, the "Daughter of God" Alexia, turned out to be the secular daughter of the [God of Time]. The God of Time died two months ago, and Alexia was extremely sad.
After learning that the wizard killed the mother goddess.
Alexia hesitated again and again, but in the end, she launched a strangulation order against wizards throughout the Kebik Great Plains, and a large number of wizard apprentices were besieged and killed.
Most of the others also fled.
There were formal wizards who were unwilling to do so and gathered a force to attempt to invade Kebik City-State and overthrow Alexia's rule over Kebik City-State.
As a result, they were easily wiped out.
Since then, wizards and robes have become almost taboo in the city-state of Kebik.
But the strange thing is.
Two weeks ago, Alexia suddenly canceled the hanging order against wizards, but her men did not fully comply and were still killing wizards.
"Media is also unlucky."
Gawain sighed. He knew without thinking that the other party must have relied on his familiarity with the city-state of Kebik and couldn't wait to break in. The result was that he was caught on the spot.
"In this case, the city-state of Kebik will not be able to enter."
"There's another hundred-armed centipede blocking the back."
"Then I'll just find a place to retreat. Once the [Hand of Blood] is deduced, my strength will be further improved. Then I will kill the Hundred-Armed Centipede and return to Guiyu Island."
Gawain quickly made a decision and flew back with the crows Xiaobai and Xiaoshiba.
"Quack~~"
"Quack~~"
Just halfway through the flight, two red-eyed crows suddenly screamed in alarm. Gawain looked up and was suddenly shocked.
I saw a black dragon hundreds of meters long flying slowly overhead.
That terrifying figure can be described as covering the sky and the sun.
"The black dragon among colored dragons!"
"Run away!"
Gawain's scalp was numb, and he fell down from the back of Xiaobai, the crow, and fell down as fast as possible. The two crows also screamed and fled in all directions.
After falling for a moment, he finally came to his senses.
It feels a little strange.
First, he didn't feel the power of the dragon from the black dragon, which was the feeling of being particularly depressed and uneasy, with his heart beating faster when facing the bronze dragon Orosam.
The second is that the black dragon flies too slowly, not even as fast as the red-eyed crow.
"wrong!"
"wrong!"
After Gawain calmed down, the crow turned over and circled behind the black dragon, flying with it from a distance, wanting to see the details of the black dragon.
Black Dragon swaggered all the way through the market.
Birds and beasts fled wherever they went.
Soon after.
Landing outside a village, he collected the delicious berries offered by the long-legged people, and then harvested steaks, dark beer, and grilled mushrooms from three other villages.
Then the black dragon began to fly back.
Half a day later.
Landing on a low mountain on the outskirts of the Great Plains, the hundreds-meter-long black dragon shrunk like a leak and turned into a jelly-like monster covered in flesh in the blink of an eye. It was surrounded by all kinds of delicious food, and it ate as much as it opened its mouth. Drink up.
"It turns out to be a [Shapeshifter] who cheated on food and drink!"
According to "Wizard World General Knowledge", Gawain recognized the monster pretending to be a black dragon.
Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.
He spread his wings and landed quietly on a dead tree on a low mountain. Just as he was thinking about catching it, he suddenly heard a shout coming from the valley.
"Kumba!"
"Kumba!"
After a while, a fat dwarf man in a robe climbed up. When he saw the shapeshifter, he immediately complained:
"Kumba, you are so mean."
"You've already been eating and drinking before I came here. I gave you the idea."
"If you keep doing this, Skye will ignore you."
"Let's see who will intercede for you next time Mr. Evans teaches you a lesson, hehe~~"
"Wow~~"
"Wow~~"
The shapechanger Kumba yelled, and reluctantly gave half of the delicious food to the dwarf, so the two sat on a low hill and ate together.
He was shaking his head while eating, and his mouth was full of oil.
"There is actually a wizard apprentice."
Gawain narrowed his eyes. He used [Magic Sense] to sense carefully and found that the aura of the dwarf Skye was not strong, and he was only an intermediate wizard apprentice at most.
However, Evans, who can be addressed as "Your Excellency" by the other party, is probably an official wizard.
He turned to look at the valley, feeling a little moved.
Gawain came to the Great Plains of Kebik not for fun, but to find a trading place among wizards, and then obtain the [Morning Potion] needed to advance to the official wizard level, or other potion formulas and potions that improve the efficiency of meditation and engraving.
When he heard the city-state's hanging order, he was already planning to give up.
Unexpectedly.
Here I unexpectedly encountered a valley with a wizard.
"Maybe it's an opportunity."
Gawain thought in his mind that he planned to make contact with the dwarf in front of him. Even if there was any danger, he would be able to escape in time as long as he did not go deep into the valley.
Thinking of this, Gawain transformed back into his true form and walked out of the forest, making a gentlemanly salute:
"I'm disturbing you two from enjoying your meal."
The shapechanger continued to eat and drink. The dwarf stood up as if frightened, reached out and took out a cyan wand from behind. At the same time, he looked at Gawain up and down. Seeing that he was wearing a robe, he did not relax his vigilance:
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"A friend and I came from the Snake City State. We originally thought that the Kebik City State would be an open and tolerant place. Unexpectedly, we were persecuted as soon as we entered the city. My friend was hanged at the top of the city. I was lucky. I escaped, and I happened to meet this guy halfway..."
Gawain told half truths and half lies in order to prove his identity as a wizard's apprentice.
They also specially demonstrated [manipulating water flow].
The dwarf finally put down his guard. He inserted the wand back into his waist, wiped his greasy hands on his body, walked forward and gave Gawain a hug: "I feel sorry for your friend, because we are also being attacked. Persecutor, but you are as lucky as we are, my friend, you are home!"
"us?"
Gawain pretended to be confused.
"right!"
The dwarf pointed to the valley with an expression of excitement: "This is our new home, Evans Valley. There are many wizard apprentices like us living in it. They are all persecuted. It was Mr. Evans who took us in. Protect us."
After speaking, he added:
"By the way, Lord Evans is a great and respected official wizard."
"He said that he would lead us back to the city of Kebik soon, overthrow the rule of the 'Daughter of God' Alexia, and trample it under our feet, so that we can walk in the streets openly and enjoy delicious food. Accept the pursuit.”
"Even, rule the entire Kebik Plain!"
Gawain slowly turned his head and looked at the enthusiastic dwarf. He felt a little weird in his heart and said to himself:
"This guy...how does he sound like a fanatical believer..."
