From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 280 Who Didn't Dream of Becoming a Dragon Knight in Childhood?
With a flash of golden light, Lan appeared in the dwarven town.Before the warriors of the Ferenc clan asked him for help, a sun-like light spot appeared at his feet, like a throne rising from the ground and lifting him into the air.

The wind and snow began to roar, and the dwarves of the Ferenc clan stared dumbfounded at the ice giant and Lann on the shoulders of the ice giant who appeared in the light spots, and forgot to speak for a moment.

Only Wavzinek Ferencz opened his mouth wide and gulped down the wind and snow, then jumped up excitedly as if he had just woken up from a dream:

"Duke Lannister! Duke Lannister! There's a dragon over there, kill it!"

The direction of Wavzhnek's finger was the green dragon that had just fished itself out of the rock wall.

After hearing Wavzinek's words, the green dragon who had just saved the "witch's lair" paused suddenly, and the wound shot by the dragon hunting crossbow on his body was still dripping hot blood towards the ground.

She raised her head, and her dark golden vertical pupils met another pair of dark golden eyes.But the green dragon unexpectedly didn't see any anger or murderous look in those eyes, but a kind of peace.

This expression is exactly the same as that of the owner of those eyes looking at him during the previous period of the journey, and it has not changed in the slightest due to his change of form.

He knows.The green dragon thought silently in his heart.

"My god!" The unknown ice giant raised his head to the sky and shouted, the wind and snow suddenly stirred up and became violent.He seems to want to use this green dragon to make up for the fighting spirit that he failed to vent on the red dragon before.

But Lan En kicked the ice giant hard, causing the big man to suppress his emotions abruptly.Then he flashed golden light, and appeared above the green dragon's head holding the long rune sword in his hand, and his body fell with gravity and pulled out a dazzling arc of light.

At the same time, a subtle voice reached the green dragon's ears:

"Go away, let's talk in another place."

In the next second, the green dragon, who had no fighting spirit just now, suddenly burst out with tyrannical power. With a wave of its claws, it grabbed Duke Lannister, who was still in mid-air and had nowhere to borrow strength, and flew towards Ma The Hakan Mountains go away.

Wawzhinek, who was about to cheer, froze in place like an ice sculpture.

The ice giant scratched its head, looked left and right, roared "My god" loudly, then ran towards the green dragon with big strides, and disappeared into the wind and snow.

……

Every time the dragon's broad wings flapped, a howling wind would blow through Lan's hair.The sun shines through the dark clouds, illuminates the snow on the top of the mountain, and reflects a little bit of brilliance, as if a layer of broken diamonds has been laid on the mountain.

Lan En didn't know when he crawled out from the claws that were not clenched tightly at all, and a golden light appeared above the green dragon's head in a flash.He grabbed two horny bone spurs that looked like a crown and sat down, closed his eyes and raised his head to feel the novel flying experience.

The green dragon sensed Lan's movements, and his pupils moved up slightly.She looked at the pale golden half-long hair that was more dazzling than the sun, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a long time, there was a low moan like a horn in his throat, which seemed to be a reminder.Then the entire dragon body began to sink, and the dragon's body gradually began to stick to the mountain wall. The air pressure brought by the flight broke through the snow on the mountainside, making them dance like elves in the sun.

They passed a mountain, a mountain lake, and half a black pine forest, and the green dragon's speed gradually slowed down until it was confirmed that there were no traces of dwarves around.

With a flash of golden light, Lan appeared on the ground.Then he felt the griffin emblem on his chest start to tremble violently, and massive amounts of chaotic energy fluctuated around him.Turning around, I saw that the nearly ten-meter-long green dragon was covered in dazzling light, and then began to compress and shape, and finally turned into a human shape.

When the light dimmed, the skin that was not delicate but smooth was revealed, the undulating curves comparable to the Mahakam mountains, the golden brown half-long hair, and the pair of hesitant eyes.

"Boom" and "Boom" sounded several times, and two dragon-hunting arrows as thick as an adult's arm smashed into the snow.

Lan looked at the beautiful scenery of Mahakam with the gaze of a work of art, and said the first sentence after landing: "Is your injury okay?"

Saskia glanced at the two wounds on her body that seemed to be shot by ordinary arrows, lowered her head, and answered the question: "You don't seem surprised?"

I'm not surprised about the "I am transformed into a dragon" thing.

Lan nodded. Not only did he know Saskia's identity, but he even knew Saskia's future.These were all the information he had sorted out in his mind when he first met Saskia, but because the time hadn't come, he kept pressing it.

……

Although dragons are seen as representatives of Chaos energy, they do absorb Chaos energy almost instinctively and spontaneously.But few people really saw the dragons cast magic. Most of the time, they only rely on their tyrannical bodies and various breaths to kill enemies.

In this case, the folk songs and legends do not know when, but there are stories that the dragon can change into a human body and walk the land, and a fictional kind of human beings other than red, white, green, and black is invented. Outside the fifth color dragon.

A giant dragon that is good at using magic—Golden Dragon.

Some scholars believe that the existence of the golden dragon is well-founded. This is a miraculous mutation produced by the young dragon absorbing too much chaotic energy during the dragon egg stage; folklore scholars believe that the giant dragon is completely fictional, after all, only virtual Only creatures can grow "golden scales" that are completely in line with human aesthetics.

In fact, golden dragons do exist.In his early years, Geralt met a middle-aged man who called himself "Three Jackdaws". This man was generous with his shots, and he had two Zerikan female warriors as his followers all year round.After discussing with him about the golden dragon and the boundary between order and chaos, Geralt spent the night with the middle-aged man and two Zerikan female warriors in a huge bathtub.

Then Geralt joined a dragon slaying team to fight against the green dragon. At that time, Yennefer and Yarpen were also in the team.But then they encountered internal strife and almost died, but they were rescued by a golden dragon that appeared suddenly by accident.So they fought side by side with the golden dragon against the dragon-slaying army, and finally formed a friendship.

And when Geralt and others asked the golden dragon why he came all the way to help the green dragon, the golden dragon showed them a young dragon.It turned out that the green dragon they were going to attack had just given birth, which gave humans an opportunity.

……

Saskia is the little green dragon that Geralt once helped, and the father she has always said before, who taught her the concept of racial equality, is the miraculous golden dragon——Velentry Tanmes , also known as "Three Jackdaws".

With this in mind, Lan flipped his left hand and took out a cloak from the [Inventory], stepped forward and gently draped it over Saskia's body.Although the cold wind in the mountains is unlikely to chill a real dragon, it is not the knight's behavior to let such a bare-skinned lady stand in the snow after all.

If you really want to see it, there is no rush, right?

Although Saskia is a dragon, she has learned a lot of etiquette and etiquette in human society for so long, and at this time she also knows how to slightly cover her own vitals.She seemed to appreciate Lan En's actions very much, and smiled slightly: "This is the gift of a knight, isn't it?"

"But you haven't answered my question, Lord Lannister. When did you know I'm a dragon?"

"You haven't answered my question, Ms. Green Dragon." Lan shook his head, "Is your injury okay?"

Once again, the answer was irrelevant.However, this kind of inappropriate exchange swept away the slightly heavy atmosphere before, because the two people who were familiar with each other because of Saskia's true identity were exposed, the atmosphere once again eased.

Saskia couldn't help smiling, and took the lead to give in: "The Ferenc clan has obviously planned to slay dragons for a long time, and their weapons are really superb...but they didn't hurt the vitals, and I still have the magic my father taught me, so it's nothing hurt."

"Also, please don't call me 'Green Dragon Lady' if you can."

"It was you who called me 'Duke Lannister' first." Lann took a step back, keeping a polite social distance, "Then it's my turn to answer the question."

Taking a slight breath, Lan organized his words and came up with an excuse that he had thought up from the beginning.

"Your self-report is full of too many contradictions: a Ms. Zerikan entered the North alone, but she had no weapons on her body; you have talked with Scoia'tael, but you are human; you have lofty ideals in your mouth, race Equality, nation-building—but have you ever wondered how outrageous such topics really are?"

"The most important thing is that you and Geralt are too close, he has already noticed something is wrong. Geralt had a friend who was similar to you, and this friend later gave him a big 'surprise' .”

Saskia sighed: "Is it my father? He told me the story of the white wolf. I should have paid attention to it a long time ago... I am still too inexperienced."

Lan shrugged: "I have another excuse, I hope it will make you feel better-you should know the blood of the ancients, right? I can use that to see some sporadic clips about you. It's just that it's not true, That is to say, I can verify your posture only when I see it with my own eyes."

Saskia nodded: "The blood of the ancients, the power destined to save the world. This father also told me."

So far, the question seems to have been answered.But both knew that the real contradiction hadn't been brought up at all.

After a short silence, Saskia was the first to continue the topic.

"……Then?"

Lan En deliberately showed a puzzled expression: "After what?"

Saskia choked. She was powerful but lacked social experience, she emphasized: "You already know that I am a dragon, what are you going to do next?"

……

What are you going to do?
Lane laughed inwardly.Why do you think I pretended to be ignorant while pretending to be ignorant, even though I knew you were a dragon girl, I still accepted you into the team as if nothing had happened? What was all this for?I have spared so much time to share racial equality and various knowledge with you. Do you think I am a duke who is everywhere to support the restoration of the country?Any woman with good looks and good body can sneak into the team and take up my time like this?
Didn't you notice that Geralt looked at me in the wrong way, and Milva looked at you in the wrong way?
Lan took a deep breath and began to brew emotions.

He showed a decent, sincere, and just right smile: "We have common ideals and beliefs, Saskia. So I believe you also know how difficult it is to achieve that goal."

"Sintra is my home, and I also believe that it can be the first step for you to realize your ideals."

He took a step forward to narrow the distance between the two, and stretched out his hand towards Sakia: "I know that before you joined my team with curiosity and learning purposes, it was considered an investigation. But now there are no secrets between us, so I sincerely extend an invitation to you again, and hope that you can join Cintra."

"Saskia, Cintra needs you—and I need you."

……

The cold wind blew the hem of his clothes.Although she couldn't feel the cold, Saskia still tightened the cloak Lann gave her, and buried her face in it.

She was about to say something, but a loud roar came from a distance, disrupting the two of them's thoughts.

"I—God—!!"

There was a rumbling vibration on the ground, and it took so long for the ice giant to finally rush over the mountains.

Panting, he looked at the owner in the arena, and looked suspiciously at another little man who looked like he had no clothes on for a while. After a while, he scratched his head in doubt—where's that big lizard?
"My god?"

Lan En squinted at the Ice Giant. He didn't expect this big guy to run so fast, but he came out to interrupt at such a critical time.

He was feeling awkward with his hand raised in mid-air, when suddenly a warm touch filled it.The touch of those fingers was not delicate, far from those of the women's hands he had touched before, and there were even rough and hard calluses that warriors would have on them.

But Lane felt more satisfied than ever.

After all, it was a dragon that stretched out this hand!

And the power behind this dragon is far more than that!
"I heard my father tell the legend of the ice giant. He may be the last member of this ancient race. Even such an ancient race can subdue... I don't know how to describe you."

Saskia said softly: "I lost two very important things today, Lane."

"Huh?" Lann quickly got out of his thoughts and showed a listening posture.

"I originally thought that Mahakam's compatriots could coexist peacefully with the dwarves, and she would be one of my study targets. It turned out that the peace between her and the dwarves was too fragile and full of hidden dangers."

"After that, when I faced the compatriots who slaughtered the dwarves, I just wanted to calm her down and hope that she would be safe." Saskia sighed, "I was protecting my compatriots—and I was even just This is the first time I saw her. Such an act is wrong, if there is really a multi-racial country, my behavior will only intensify the conflict between the races."

"I lost a goal today, and I also lost part of my belief, Lan." Saskia sighed again, "The knowledge and ideals that my father taught me are too great, and now I know just how strong I am. Small."

Then she raised her head and grabbed Lan En's hand in the opposite direction: "I... don't know how to continue on the next road, can you teach me how to walk?"

The mountain wind blows Saskia's hair and cloak, making her eyes bright.

Lan nodded: "Of course, this is my honor."
