I'm not that kind of orc

"You know us?"

"You came here half a year ago, I stopped you, and I asked you if you got lost."

"So that's you, since we're all acquaintances, it's easy to talk..." Xiu Feng rubbed his hands and laughed.

"We're not acquaintances, boy," Ayla corrected him.

"Since you have already entertained so many people, you don't mind bringing us a few more."

"This is not hospitality, but escort. If you want to go together, I will treat you as the same group as the suspects who assassinated the Queen. If Her Majesty the Queen decides that you have a problem, no one who goes to the 'Oasis' will die." Aila replied lightly, "I remember you are just explorers, right? Even so, you still want to go?"

The members of the expedition team were stunned for a moment, and they gathered in a circle to discuss for a while. Finally, Xiufeng answered firmly on behalf of everyone: "Let's go! The legendary Dragon Kingdom is just around the corner. If we don't take a look, we will regret it." Forever!"

"You guys are so interesting." Ella grinned.

After counting the number of people, Olo began to search us one by one, asking us to leave all weapons and dangerous props here.When she found Feilan, she grabbed Feilan's hand wearing the devil's ring: "This ring has extraordinary magic power, can't you take it off?"

"Ms. Ben has wanted to take it off for a long time." Feilan replied nonchalantly.

Olo pinched the ring with her fingers and tried it, and found that she couldn't take it off, so she said: "Then after you follow me, you can't leave my sight, remember."

"Why?" As always, this girl didn't like people making demands on her.

"It's for your own good, otherwise you'd have to cut off this finger before going." Oro glanced at her, then turned to Angelica who was next to search.

She touched Angelica's whole body, and finally asked Angelica to open her mouth.

"Your teeth are not right." She noticed the fangs in Angelica's mouth.

"I'm a werewolf." Angelica replied lightly, and she has been able to admit this fact to others openly today.

"A werewolf? I've heard that the curse of the hunting demon...you are a bit threatening even without a weapon." Olo looked at her for a while, then reached out and touched her head, "For your cute sake Come on, let you go. But you are the same, you must never leave my sight when you get there."

I looked at Oro carefully.Except for the light blue hair on her head, the pair of dragon horns, and the reptile-like golden eyes and slender pupils on her face, there is not much difference between her and an ordinary human woman.

After looking at her, I glanced not far away.

The black dragon that was knocked out by Mutafa and me has already woken up. It seems that for the convenience of receiving treatment, he has also turned into a black-haired young man, and the red dragon named Talisha who rescued him Also turned into a red-haired woman.

"What a disgrace, Huskar, you are the first dragon in history to be photographed alive by foreigners." Talisha was holding his head and casting some healing spells, "How do you feel?"

"Still dizzy..." Huskar grimaced.

"Then what about this?" Talisha suddenly smirked and leaned over to kiss his forehead, and it was obvious that they were a couple.

"It doesn't work, do it again... No, look at it ten times." Huskar raised his face and said solemnly.

"Beautiful idea!" Talisha laughed wildly, and patted the other party's forehead.

"Don't slap your head!!" Huskar screamed in pain while holding his head.

"Ah sorry sorry..."

It can be seen that these dragons are not only capable of taking human form, but are obviously quite accustomed to this form.

After searching the others, Olo stood in front of the last searched object.

That's me.

Like everyone else who was frisked, I put the weapon aside beforehand and opened my arms for her to examine my belongings.

But Oro didn't go straight to it like searching for other people, but raised her face and stared into my eyes, and said in a commanding tone: "Take off your clothes."

"What?" I thought I had heard wrong.

"Take off your clothes." Oro repeated coldly, and added, "Take off."

"Wait, they searched well, why do I have to take it off!?" I was shocked.

"You're going to meet the queen directly later, of course you have to check carefully." Aurora had no intention of giving in at all.

"So I really have nothing to do with the assassination!"

"It's up to the queen to decide whether it has anything to do with you. I'm only responsible for doing my duty. Don't talk nonsense now, just take off your clothes." Oro frowned slightly at me, "If you feel inconvenient, go with me to a secluded corner also."

...What kind of imaginative development is this?

But I immediately shook my head and rejected the request: "Taking off is absolutely impossible."

It's really embarrassing to be naked in front of a woman, not to mention I feel a little offended by being so forcefully ordered to strip naked in front of my face.

"Since you said that it will be decided by your queen, he has not been convicted yet. Can you not treat him like a prisoner?" Princess Alyssa suddenly stopped in front of me and spoke for me quietly, "We It is out of respect that we cooperate with your request, and please also give us basic respect."

Oro looked at her for a while, and finally made a concession: "Okay, then leave the underwear, that's okay."

If I can leave a pocket cloth, I can still accept it.

"Then this way please." Oro pointed to the other side of the airship.

"I'll go too!" Arsena appeared next to her at some unknown time, with a look of anticipation on her face.

... Please don't join in the fun, please?

Dragon Queen (1)

In the end, all the personnel who went to the Dragon Kingdom were arranged to climb on the backs of several giant dragons after passing the inspection.

These dragons will personally carry us to their realm.A giant dragon can easily carry four or five people. Angelica, Feilan and I sat on the broad back of the blue dragon Oro.

"Do we have to fly over from the sky?" Feilan's voice trembled a little.

"We haven't started flying yet..." I said as I sat in front of her and turned to look at her. "Can you please stop putting your face on my back?"

This girl was really nervous, her hands were tightly wrapped around my waist, and she buried her face on my back.

"Fly a little bit lower later!" She weakly gave herself an excuse, "Let me tell you first that I'm not afraid of heights, but I'm a little anemic today, and it's easy to lack oxygen at high places..."

Are you shivering now because of lack of oxygen?

"There's still a little sandstorm, too much sand in the low altitude." Oro didn't want to agree to this request.

"Let's fly a little lower." Angelica, who was sitting in front of me, patted Oro's back, "You don't want someone... to pee on you."

"That's right." Oro agreed.

"You, you're the one who scared the shit out of you! Damn girl, watch out!" Feilan was so angry that she poked Angelika's waist with her finger.

Angelica, who was poked in the itchy flesh, shuddered, and then grabbed the opponent's finger not to be outdone.

"Hey girl, I warn you if you dare to break it!!" Feilan's threat was meaningless to Angelica.

"You two, you must not play around like this after flying into the sky." I sighed helplessly.

"Master Bullock, please be careful." Tilawa stood aside and waved to us.

Although she is also very worried about our safety, as the only representative sent by Igna to the reconnaissance team, it is necessary for her to stay on the airship and report what happened here to Igna.

To some extent, we will agree that the conditions proposed by the dragon family are only a stopgap measure.No one can predict what will happen to us when we are taken to the Kingdom of Dragons this time. Informing our backup corps of the incident is at least a guarantee for our personal safety. chips.

With the strength of the reconnaissance team, the troops fighting against the dragon are almost hitting stones with pebbles.By contacting the expedition legion commanded by Igna and Tolivia, at least we still have the opportunity to declare that if we cannot go back safely, there will be a legion visiting us when the enemy is in trouble.Giant dragons are very powerful, but they are generally not aggressive. They may not be afraid of the challenge of a legion or even the entire country, but with such restrictions, at least they can carefully consider the impact on us when weighing the pros and cons. disposal.

It's just that there is still a mystery for us about this matter, and that is the "assassination incident" that made me be regarded as a suspect by these dragons.

After takeoff, I asked Oro about it on the way.From her mouth, we roughly learned the cause and effect of the incident.

Four days ago, an orc, carrying a huge van pulled by a domesticated mountain beast, traveled across half of the desert to the kingdom of the giant dragon.

Inside that van was a blue dragon... that is, the corpse of what we commonly call an ancient cold dragon.He claimed to be the representative of the Baishan clan. This blue dragon was enshrined in their tribe and guarded the holy land of orcs for them.In an enemy's invasion of the orc holy land not long ago, the blue dragon obeyed the agreement and died fighting. Before he died, he asked the orcs to transport his body back to his hometown deep in the desert for burial.

As the historical records left by the elves say, the giant dragon family has been restricted by the geographical constraints by the gods from the beginning of their creation because they were too powerful, but these gods seem to feel a little sorry for doing this. In the center of the continent, a blessed and fertile land was created for the dragons. The dragons called this land "oasis", where they established a country and multiplied.Once each giant dragon leaves the "oasis" without authorization, its strength will quickly lose its strength and its lifespan will also be greatly shortened.

However, it is not completely impossible for the dragon to leave the "oasis".

Most dragons are quite satisfied with the paradise in "Oasis", but this does not mean that they have no curiosity about the outside world.There were also a small number of dragons who found a way to leave the "oasis" and departed from their hometown. Some returned after a long or short period of time, and some never heard from them again.

But no matter what, for the dragons of the "oasis", these wanderers who have left their homes are still their compatriots.Especially that ancient cold dragon, it seems that it had quite a good prestige in the "oasis" in the past.And as a righteous man who abided by their compatriots' last words, the orc was exceptionally entertained and entered the "Oasis", and was even personally received by the Queen of the Dragon Clan.

During this process, almost none of the dragons doubted the truth of what the orc said.It can be said that the long-term isolation of the giant dragon family and their own strength make them less vigilant than other races.

Then, here comes the point.

On the third day after the orcs arrived at the "oasis" to accept the reception, an expeditionary army appeared in the desert without warning, and launched an invasion of the dragon's territory without even saying hello.It was a very strange army, composed of a small number of humans and elves, and large groups of giant beasts. They organized two raids day and night in one day.The orcs who were entertained claimed that this group of people invaded the Holy Land and killed Gu Hanlong, and even volunteered to fight.But the Dragon Clan didn't intend to let this righteous man who worked so hard to return the corpses of his compatriots risk his life, but placed him under protection.

The "Oasis", which has never been in war all year round, fell into temporary chaos for a while, but when the powerful dragons organized a counterattack, this army became vulnerable in an instant, and the dragons wiped out with single-digit casualties all the strength of the enemy.

But when the dragons focused their attention on the invaders, something happened in the Dragon King Temple where the queen lived—the orc "righteous man" who was entertained actually asked for an interview on the grounds of providing information on the invaders. When he was the queen, he took the opportunity to assassinate the queen.The orc stabbed the queen with a strange sword while the guards and the queen were not ready, and was killed by the enraged queen the next moment.

What happened next was a bit weird.

Just when the giant dragons present had not recovered from this inexplicable assassination, the orc who had died on the spot suddenly came back to life.The corpse of the ancient cold dragon brought back by the orc also woke up earlier than him, crawled out of his tomb with a decayed body, flew away from the dragon bone cemetery, and launched a surprise attack on the Dragon King Temple at the same time as the orc was resurrected.

In the end, the orc assassin who stabbed the queen took advantage of the chaos to escape from the Dragon King Temple and rode on the back of the corpse dragon. Forcibly escaped from the dragon's country.

Dragon Queen (2)

To sum it up briefly, the whole thing is that the lonely assassin used a trick to bring a dragon corpse to deceive the trust of the dragons, and then found the right time to stab the queen while taking advantage of the chaos, and finally walked away.

... I just can't figure out how such a drastic achievement was inexplicably attributed to me.

But in any case, this question, we still got some important clues.

First of all, according to Oro's description, the giant beast army that invaded the territory of the Dragon Race beyond their limits should be the enemy we are chasing. As we expected, they fled to the desert after digging up my ancestral grave. The purpose is to make something happen in Dragon Kingdom.

Secondly, the orc who stabbed the dragon queen was with this group of people.

According to what Oro said, the orc was able to escape with a corpse dragon in the end. Apart from the reason why the "oasis" was raided and the interior was empty, it was largely because when he fled to the border of the "oasis", countless The head-controlled Thunder Eagle and the synthetic beast with wings suddenly appeared, and fought with several giant dragons that were intercepted and hunted down, desperately buying time for him to escape.

His own queen was assassinated, so it's not surprising that this group of dragons who were originally nervous suddenly became like nothing but soldiers.And at this time, a group of unlucky guys just approached their territory with a military vehicle carrying a large group of people, and the nervous border guards immediately launched an attack first.

In other words, we have completely borne the scapegoat left by the enemy.

The speed of the dragon flying in the wind is comparable to the speed of the airship at full power and even the thunder carving in the field of giant beasts. After only a quarter of an hour in the flying sand, we arrived at the oasis of the dragon country.

This piece of land blessed by the gods turned out to be invisible to the outside world, no different from the barren sandy soil around it from the outside.But after flying into the field of "oasis" by the dragon, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

The "oasis" is actually a huge basin, and there are mountains, flats and lakes under the basin.This is really a dreamlike land. The moment I entered this field, I felt the temperature and sunlight around me changed. The sun was no longer so poisonous that it made people peel off, and the air was not like that in the desert. dry.I saw that the mountains below were covered with all kinds of strange vegetation that we had never seen before, interspersed with buildings and squares in a style I had never seen in my life.

I found that the size of these buildings and squares varies greatly. Some are similar in size to our orc houses, and some are as large as a mountain animal playground.I saw giant dragons of different colors flying up and down in the huge square in the form of dragons, and I also saw some dragons gathered on the top of a tower in human form, and flew towards several dragons passing by the side of the tower. The dragon waved his hand, and it could be seen that the dragon clan lived here in two forms: dragon shape and human shape.

In addition, unlike the countries of human elves and even orcs, there are few passages between the buildings of these dragon civilizations. I even saw a square standing alone on a cliff, without a mountain road around it.This is quite understandable, because dragons can fly, and crawling on land can also rely on their huge physique to cope with various terrains.For them, paving roads for horses and horses is completely superfluous.

The place where the dragon guards are going to take us is the Dragon King Palace where their queen lives. The palace is very easy to find from the sky.In fact, when Oro flew in with us, I noticed the location of the palace—right in the center of this vast basin, there stood an isolated peak with cliffs on all sides abnormally, like The surrounding mountains are several times higher, and even the vicinity of the peak is already shrouded in clouds and mist.If the mountain below is compared to the waves in the sea, then that lone peak is a towering lighthouse standing on the island.

At the top of that lone peak, a multi-storey building in the shape of a palace can be vaguely seen in the clouds and mist.
