Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

Although Silas said something doubtful, in his heart he basically believed in this matter, not only because Lucia's extraordinary appearance and golden eyes are not common to anyone, but also because , He always felt that Sarannar would lie to him and hide it from him. It was nothing strange at all.

"My brother didn't tell anyone about my existence in order to protect me." Lucia tried hard to win the trust of this human being, "but he often told me about you and the days you spent together on the desert island , He really trusts you."

Silas got off his horse and walked towards the iron cage. Carl grabbed him: "What are you going to do?"

"You heard what she said, too," said Silas. "We cannot keep the dragon chief's sister in a cage. It is too absurd."

"Don't be fooled by her." Karl looked at the soldiers who were staring at Lucia obsessively, and said loudly, "Have you all forgotten? She is a very ferocious beast. Just burnt our four brothers to death without saying a word, and now he has put on such a pitiful appearance to trick us, do you know how hard it took me to catch her, if she is released, she will be violent again It hurts, none of us can do anything to her."

"But if she is really Sarannar's younger sister, it would be a foolish act of declaring war on the entire dragon clan if you locked her up like this." Silas said, "Before Sarannar knew about it, We must minimize the provocation against the Dragon Clan, at least let her out to appease her, and not let Sarannar see such absurd scene."

"No." Carl said without hesitation, "I tried my best to catch her. Do you want me to let her go for nothing?"

"Then what do you want?" Silas frowned and looked at his former friend.

"Whether she is lying or not is still unknown. Even if she is really the sister of the leader of the Dragon Clan, since the leader of the Dragon Clan chose to deceive us, we can't blame us for being rude to her without knowing it. After all, she is the one who killed her." First, isn't it?" Carl said, "I want to dedicate her to His Highness Alion, and His Highness has the final say on how to deal with it."

"Are you crazy?" Silas looked at the soldiers on the left and right, pulled Carl aside and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness is very unfriendly to the dragons, who knows what he will do? Now the dragons and humans The relationship with you is already very tense, if His Royal Highness does something unfavorable to Lucia, have you thought about the consequences?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm very sober." Carl looked at him calmly and said, "You were born in a noble family, and you are the only child in the family. You will not understand my hardships. This is a rare opportunity. In order for my family to live a good life, I must be appreciated by His Royal Highness, are you going to let me give up this opportunity that I have worked so hard to get?"

"But if you do this, you will anger the Dragon Clan, and you will put the entire Silver Stream City in danger, and your family is also in Silver Stream City." Silas felt that he was simply unreasonable.

"Enough, don't talk! I know you want to use her to flatter the leader of the Dragon Clan, but you are already the leader of the Dragon Knights. Whether you have this credit or not will not affect your status, but brother, I am still just a Xiao Bing, you can’t even give me a chance.” Karl also felt that Silas was unreasonable, he suppressed his anger and persuaded, “Give her to His Royal Highness first, and I will get my share of credit. If it is found out that she is really the younger sister of the leader of the dragon clan, His Highness will decide how to deal with it. If I let her go now, all my previous efforts will be in vain, and my four subordinates will die in vain without getting anything. My life will be even more difficult in the future. Yes, do you understand?"

"How can you do this?" Silas looked at his former friend as if he didn't know him, "would you rather put Silver Brook City in danger of being attacked by dragons, and exchange your future with a dragon? You It is indeed a pity that her subordinates died. I believe His Majesty the King will give them compensation, but she is released here only to avoid embarrassing and angering the Dragon Clan, so as not to cause more serious consequences. Have you thought about it, If you transport her to Silver Stream City so ostentatiously, everyone will know that the leader of the Dragon Clan's sister has been locked in a cage by you and brought back. How do you let the Dragon Clan look at this matter? The recent incidents that have angered them are enough If there are too many, you still come to add fuel to the fire, maybe His Majesty the King will not only not reward you, but will kill you to appease the anger of the Dragon Clan."

"...Well, maybe you're right." Carl sighed heavily, pulled a key from his waist and threw it to Silas, "Just let her go and let her go."

"Fortunately, you can still hear it, otherwise it would be really difficult." Silas breathed a sigh of relief, took the key and wanted to open the cage, but saw Lucia in the cage shouting at him with a horrified expression :"be careful!"

Before the words fell, Silas received a heavy blow on the back of the head, and the whole person fell forward to the ground.

Carl looked at him coldly and said, "Who gave you the right to be so confident that you can take away the only chance for others to get promoted and make a fortune as if nothing happened?"

It's like a poor man who has finally dug up a peerless treasure. When he is so happy that his whole body is about to fly, someone says that the treasure in his hand is just a piece of scrap metal that cannot be sold for money. , and wanting to take away the treasure he had worked so hard to get, Karl is really red-eyed this time, he can do anything now.

His subordinates finally stopped staring at Lucia's beauty, and looked at the ferocious captain in horror.

"Team, captain...he is the captain of the Dragon Knights..."

"Don't worry about him, I'll take care of the sky if it falls." Carl said, "Let's go into the city quickly."

"No... don't do this..." Silas tried to get up while holding his dizzy head, "Please, don't do such a stupid thing..."

But Karl has lost his mind, and it is impossible to turn back now. He kicked Silas heavily on the head again, causing Silas to completely lose consciousness.

Lucia's magic power is not very good, and she can maintain her human form for a very limited time. The fright she received just now made her return to her original form, and she seemed to realize that she could actually use deformation to break free. Taking a deep breath, he began to spit out of the cage.

The soldiers were so frightened that they lay down and ran for their lives, and the frightened horses also ran wildly. The temperature of the dragon flame was enough to melt any metal, and the iron cage was no exception—if she could keep the spewing for a long time A little longer.

Lucia reluctantly gnawed at the slightly melted iron fence. Karl and the others had already chased after them, but the soldiers did not dare to approach the cage for half a step. It was Karl who tore off the burning canvas and pulled back the frightened horse.

"What are you afraid of? The amount of fire a dragon can breathe every day is limited!" Karl said dissatisfiedly to those cowards who laughed at him behind his back all day long, "She already finished breathing out the fire when she was fighting with me, now I can only It's just the last bit of struggle at the end of the battle."

Silas's horse came back some time after being scared away, nuzzled Silas' body, and turned Silas over on his side.

Silas awoke slowly, looking at the sky above him, and it took him a moment to push himself up to sit up.

He used spiritual magic to contact the leader of the dragon clan: "Sarannar, do you have a sister?"

Saranar answered him after a while: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"They captured a black dragon named Lucia, and that Lucia claimed to be your sister." Silas tried to climb onto the horse's back with some slow movements, "They are going to bring Lucia to Silver Brook City Prince Aerion, I tried to stop them, but I was knocked out."

Salanar immediately tried to establish a spiritual connection with Lucia, but there was no response. He glanced this way again with surveillance magic, only to see a dry bloodstain on Silas's forehead,

Silas felt his anger even if it was just a conscious communication: "Who hit you?"

"Now is not the time to pursue this." Silas urged the horse and rushed towards Silver Brook City, "You must find your sister quickly, Ai Lien is narrow-minded and hates dragons very much, no one knows what he will do. What's the matter?"

"I'll come over as soon as possible, you try to find them first." Sarannar said, "Remember, don't force yourself after you find them, and don't notify other dragons for the time being, everything will be discussed after I come here."

"I'll try my best." Silas said, shaking his still dizzy head.

He is really going to regret it now.

Out of selfish considerations, he hoped to ease the conflict between humans and dragons as much as possible before Sarannar knew about it. If he could persuade Karl to let Lucia go, it would be better than letting Sarannar see himself with his own eyes. His younger sister was humiliated in a cage like an animal, and then angrily forced Karl to let her go.

So he didn't inform Saranar immediately, but tried to reason with Karl. Who would have thought that his good brother in the past would be so maddened by greed? Lucia's trail - it's all his fault.

Silas knew that this rebellion and the tragedy of the killing of two dragons had pushed the entire dragon clan to the limit of their tolerance for humans, and it was the best effort Sarannar could do to be able to leave the clan peacefully. Someone is adding fuel to the fire at this juncture, and no one can guarantee that something terrible will happen.

But other people don't know this. The reason why Karl dared to take such a risk is probably because he, like most people, believed that the situation was still in the hands of humans, and that the dragons would be like every time in the past. Throw a tantrum, make a fuss, and continue to guard the human airspace dutifully.

It's unbearably stupid.

However, no matter how stupid the people are, as one of the few people who are still awake, Silas still hopes to do everything he can to prevent the tragedy before things become irreversible.
