Chapter 21 Fire Dragon Vol.

There is no time, no space, no matter, no fluctuation, only infinity The darkness of... No, here, not even the concept of darkness itself exists, this is a pure "No". After an unknown amount of time, a spark suddenly appeared in the "No" - Winters regained consciousness.

The first thing he recovered was hearing: what was the noise around him? Then came back the sense of touch: as if I was lying down, was it on the bed? Seems like a very hard bed? Finally, vision began to return, and Winters first felt the light, then he struggled to open his eyes, but his vision was blurry and there was no way to focus.

After regaining consciousness of the body, severe pain followed. This kind of pain is not pain in the normal sense, but is similar to the pain when using magic. The pain does not come from any part of Winters' body, but it is really tormenting him.

Winters wanted to scream in pain, but only opened his mouth feebly, and no sound came out of his vocal cords. He tried to lift his arm, but there was no response. It seems to restore body consciousness, but not muscle control.

For Winters, it all felt like a sudden deep sleep, and he couldn't even remember when he lost consciousness. There is no memory, no concept of time, not even a dream.

The last moment he can remember, he was still putting out fires in Jade City. Closing his eyes and opening them again, he lost control of his body, and was tormented by lying on a hard bed that he didn't know where he was.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Winters heard someone shout excitedly.

"Who? Where am I? What's wrong with me?" Winters' consciousness was still dull, and thinking had become a laborious task for him. His eyes were still out of focus, and his field of vision seemed to be dark brown.

A bit of warm liquid dripped into his mouth, it didn't seem to be water, it had a bitter taste, and the swallowing reflex made Winters drink the liquid subconsciously. It turned out that someone slightly lifted his upper body and fed him with a spoon little by little. Seeing that Winters could swallow, he continued to feed Winters spoonful after spoonful.

After being fed, Winters was put back in place, in a lying position. His consciousness began to blur, and he soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

I closed my eyes and opened my eyes again. Still no memory, no concept of time, not even a dream.

But when he woke up again, Winters felt significantly better. Although the pain still didn't go away, it wasn't as painful as before, and it was tolerable.

That's right, the last time Winters woke up was "just now". He had no real sense of the passage of time at all, only that he regained consciousness as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them.

This time, Winters' eyes were finally able to focus. He carefully identified the environment he was in: the ceiling was very close, it felt like he could reach out and touch it, and the material seemed to be... wood? ?

His limbs can also move, so he quickly reached out of the bed and touched it. There is a wall beside him, and the material seems to be... wood? ?

Winters couldn't lie down any longer. He sat up with a force on his waist and abdomen. He struggled to distinguish his surroundings: a cramped and dark wooden room, a lot of ropes, and the whole room was swinging regularly. ...you seem to be in the cabin?
What? I'm on a boat? ? Winters startled.

"Hey?! Are you awake?" A voice like Hong Zhong came from Winters' ears, and the loud voice shook Winters' ears: "Go and report to the Major General! Someone is awake!"

>

Upon hearing this signature loud voice, Winters could recognize who it was with just his ears. The only person who can speak so loudly without amplification is Winters' compatriot Andrea Cellini in the cavalry department, who is usually called Andrea.

Winters' own personality is not very good, so his friends are very tolerant. Andre's character is completely poured out of the same mold as Winters, both of them are typical violent Veneta people. Similar personalities often repel each other, so although the two are from the Hailan Republic, they are not too close at ordinary times.

But for Winters, who had just woken up from a deep coma, Andre's loud voice gave him a sense of relief.

Winters looked around and found that there were several comatose classmates beside him, and the bed under him was not just a boat board with something padded. He was eager to understand his environment: "Am I on a boat?"

"Yes, on a boat." Andrei gave a positive answer.

“Why am I on the boat?” Winters was still puzzled.

"They were carried up. You all fainted, and you couldn't wake up. Everyone carried you to the boat." Andre's perspective on this issue was somewhat clear.

"I'm asking...what are we going to do on the boat now?" Winters asked again in an unambiguous way.

"Go home by boat, back to Veneta (Sea Blue)."

"Shouldn't we go back by land?" Winters was even more confused.

"It was said that the road was not easy this year, so a boat was sent to pick us up." After explaining the current situation to Winters, Andre asked a strange question: "Are you still Remember what you did?"

"What did I do?" Winters found the question inexplicable.

Andre asked again tentatively: "You really forgot?"

"What do you want me to remember?" Struggling to get up, Andre quickly reached out to support Winters.

"You burned Jade City! Burn it! Don't you remember?" Andre's words hit Winters like a cannonball.

"Burn? What's burned?" Winters' hair stood on end when he heard this, and the last trace of drowsiness in his mind was disappeared. He asked in horror, "Aren't we fighting the fire? What did we put Jade on? The city burned down?"

"Yeah, it was originally fighting the fire, and the minister ordered us to demolish the house. Then all of you sorcerers were called away, and as soon as you used magic, you summoned There's a firestorm." Andre was unaware of the impact of what he said on Winters: "After the firestorm, the fire got stronger. The isolation belt was useless, so we all evacuated. We took the boat. When we left, the common people were going crazy. It was the magician of the military academy who summoned the fire of hell and destroyed Jade City."

"How could it be? We are going to put out the fire! What firestorm?" Winters didn't expect things to turn out like this, he suddenly remembered the last scene he remembered: a flame python rose into the sky.

"Tell me, what's that firestorm like?" Winters wanted to know too much right now, so he had to ask first. Standing and saying that he was too tired, he sat back on the cot again.

"I think...like a rope that connects the sky and the earth." Andre tried to use his limited words to describe the situation after Winters lost consciousness as much as possible: "A swirling rope of flame...a flaming tornado!"

Andrei, satisfied with the metaphor he had come up with, repeated: "A flaming tornado!"

Recalling the last scene he saw, Winters realized that this Fire Dragon volume might really have something to do with him... no, it had something to do with all the sorcerers who were using the wind ride at the time.

“How is Jade City now?” Winters was eager to know what would happen.

"Half the city was burned down. If it weren't for the heavy rain, I'm afraid the whole city would have been burned to the ground." Andre hesitated to ask the doubts in his heart: "It's really you guys. Summon's Fire Dragon volume?"

"I don't know either...I really don't know..." The severe pain hit Winters again, he curled up and replied in pain, he really I don't know if the Fire Dragon volume that Andre said has anything to do with the sorcerers.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't care too much." Seeing Winters' painful expression, Andre thought he was guilty of burning Jade City, and Andre hurriedly comforted Winters: "It's them anyway. The territory of the United Provinces will be burnt. It is not our business of the Hailan people if it burns out! Anyway, we are going home." Disasters do not feel the same.

Winters is having unspeakable bitter suffering now: I also don't admit that I burned it...I just said I'm not sure, and I'm really not sure if it has anything to do with the sorcerer... Besides the initial fire I didn't put it, why does it sound like I'm a surefire arsonist?
There was a quick crash of boots and the deck, and two men in officers' uniforms entered the small cabin, Winters biting Tooth got up and Andre stood at attention and saluted.

"It's good to wake up!" One of the two officers wearing a general's uniform spoke first, this middle aged general majestic appearance, tall, with a well-groomed mustache on his lips. Even without this military uniform, it is impossible to mistake his occupation, because his military temperament is too obvious in his gestures.

The general ended the chat with a single sentence, and he bluntly asked Winters: "I need to ask you one thing, you must tell the truth. Did Army Officer Academy intentionally cause your coma? "

Winters quickly analyzed the situation. This high-level officer is probably the "major general" that Andre just said. He braced himself and answered honestly, "Report to the general, I don't know!"

The major-general frowned at Winters' words: "Then tell me what you know."

Winters reflects on that night: "The instructor gathered all the sorcerers and asked us to use Wind Ride together to change the direction of the fire. All I remember is that I used Wind Rider, and I don't have the rest. Memory, wake up and come here."

"You said it was all sorcerers, right? Is it all, not only sea blue sorcerers, but also union province sorcerers?" The major general grasped himself keenly The key information you want, keep asking.

"That's right, all the sorcerers, including the union-provincial sorcerers." Winters really concentrated all the sorcerers in his impression. He didn't deliberately select who went and who didn't. Naturally, there were also union-province students.

The major general got the answer, but his expression showed that he was very dissatisfied with the answer, he did not continue to ask, obviously he had lost interest in Winters: "Okay, I know, take a good rest, Tell me immediately if you think of something else."

Ending the conversation perfunctorily, the Major General turned and left the small cabin.

Winters also vaguely felt a little bit of context: it seems that the major general wants the federal military to take responsibility for his coma.

After the major general left, the officer who came with the major general spoke. This is a smiling handsome young man. Compared with the school officer's uniform on him, his face seemed a little too young. There was a casual ease in his smile, as if to say that he didn't care much about anything.

"Sit, sit, don't stand." The officer waved his hand kindly, motioning Winters to sit down.

You're welcome, superior, Winters doesn't dare to sit down. Just nodded, the body did not move.

"Okay, then I'll sit first." The officer didn't put on airs, and sat down on the ground generously. He also found a deck for himself to lean on comfortably.

Seeing that Winters and Andre still didn't dare to move, he smiled and persuaded them: "Take it easy, we are alumni, I'm just a senior a few years higher than you, don't stick to military rank I'm tired of talking to you with my head up."

When they heard that this was an alumnus, Winters and Andrea let go a little and sat on the ground, but their backs were still tense. Straight.

"You are now a warrant officer and you have entered the officer class. We are only a few years apart in military experience." The two cadets were still a little cautious, but the officer was not reluctant. He introduced himself first. : "That was Major General Layton just now, and I'm Major Moritz. You can call me Moritz, you can call me Senior, you can call me Major, you can call me whatever you want. By the way, what's your name?"

"Hello Senior! I'm Winters Montagne."

"Hello Senior! I'm Andrea Cellini."

The waves and The patter of rain beat against the hull, and in the sound of wind and rain and the sound of the waves, the hull swayed rhythmically back and forth like a pendulum. There was only a small half-open ventilation window in the hull, and the light in the small cabin was very dim.

"Winters, how are you feeling now?" Major Moritz asked Andre's baffling question.

"What?" Winters didn't understand.

"Feeling, how you feel now."

Winters knew what Major Moritz was asking: "Pure pain, but still barely endurable. The last time I woke up, the pain was unbearable."

Winters said to himself: I feel like I'm still not out of my spellcasting state. But this Major Moritz didn't wear the badge of the 35th Association in front of him, obviously he was not a sorcerer. So even if Winters told him, he couldn't understand what the casting state was, so Winters chose to describe it in a way that the ordinary person could understand.

After listening to Winters' words, Major Moritz took out a small Silver Coin and played with it, thinking about it.
