Goddess Wanhua Mirror

However, just as everyone was busy working on how to tide over the difficulties together, a few familiar faces suddenly appeared from the north of the village. They were none other than Hamilton and his party who had just left half a month ago.
But different from the high spirits when he left, when he saw them again, not only were the number reduced by half, but all of them were disgraced and wounded. Half of Hamilton's face was wrapped in bandages, and Captain Jiegang was simply carried back. Very miserable.
"Master, what are you?"
"There was a little accident..."
Seeing that the group of people were seriously injured, and Captain Jie Gang was dying, as if he might die at any time, Lu De hurriedly used a group therapy, and then used a high-ranking saint alone on Jie Gang who was the most seriously injured. Healing technique successfully dragged him back from the death line.
But when Lude used the lay on hands, he only healed their injuries as far as possible, but did not recover their physical strength.Therefore, although Jie Gang, who was seriously injured, was out of danger, he was still very weak, lying on a stretcher, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up and thank Lu De.
The reason why he only did limited treatment was mainly because Lude kept his eyes open. He suspected that the black dragon attack had something to do with these people, and he also noticed that the knights were carefully protecting a large box, as if what was in it was very important. s things.
So Luther called Hamilton and asked straight to the point.
"Master Hamilton, if you still recognize me as a friend, then tell me the truth, is the black dragon that attacks humans everywhere related to you?"
"Old friend, this incident... was actually an accident."
"Don't fight with me, what's in that box? Is it something the black dragon is looking for? You provoked it!"
Lude asked a series of questions, and Hamilton was speechless. Looking at his expression, Lude knew that he had guessed everything correctly.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
"Old friend! This is not what you should inquire about. It's none of your business. Do you understand me?"
"It's none of our business? You go to the hall first to see the villagers who have suffered innocent disasters, and then tell me this! I must know the truth now, don't force me, old friend!"
There was no smile on Lude's face at this time, the word "old friend" was pronounced heavily, and his eyes were staring at Hamilton, which made the old magician extremely embarrassed.
Thanks to the previous pretending to be mysterious and Xiaolu's skill from time to time, Hamilton has already regarded Lude as a master of the same level as himself.Not to mention that magicians of the same level always lose more than they win against priests. Hamilton's vitality is seriously injured at the moment, and his strength is not even half of his peak.
In desperation, the old magician could only wave his hands and say.
"Forget that I'm afraid of you, can you extinguish the fire first?"
"What's in that box? Open it!"
Hearing that Lude wanted to see what was in the box, the knights were very nervous and subconsciously put their hands on the hilt of their swords.Seeing that these tough guys still wanted to resist, Hamilton hurriedly shouted at them.
"Open it! I can't protect it anyway, so don't look for it to be unhappy."
"..." xN
Several knights looked at each other for a while, considering that it was the great magician Hamilton who spoke, they had no choice but to open the box in the end, and showed Lud what was carefully wrapped in thick woolen fleece inside. eggs, and faintly heard the sound of a heartbeat inside the eggshell.
End of this chapter
The moment he saw the dragon egg, Lu De knew it clearly, and even understood the black dragon's anger.This is like the parents who lost their children on the other side of the earth, wishing to tear the traffickers to pieces with their own hands.
But Hamilton looked at the dragon egg that they had paid a lot of money to get back, and told the ins and outs of the matter.
The matter actually started three months ago. Earl Lumley got a piece of information by chance. In the depths of the mountains in the Northern Void Forest, there was a cave halfway up the mountain that lived in a giant dragon, and it was still inside. Made a nest and produced three dragon eggs.
This news came from a senior adventure team, but these guys just did a simple investigation and quickly retreated, and then sold the location of the dragon's nest as information to the earl directly.
After the earl got the news, he first sent someone to confirm the existence of the dragon's nest, and then sent someone to inform the king, and he invited the great magician Hamilton of the Three-Man Tower through his relationship.The plan is to go to the dragon's lair to steal dragon eggs after winter.
In their original plan, the Earl's elite Silver Wing Knights were responsible for covering the archmage Hamilton to sneak into the dragon's lair, taking advantage of the dragon's lethargy in winter, looking for opportunities to kill it, and then take away the dragon eggs.The three eggs will each go to the Durands, the Lumleys and Hamilton.
The reason for killing the dragon is mainly because of fear of future troubles.If it's just stealing eggs, then once the dragon wakes up and finds that his eggs are gone, he will definitely look around frantically, endangering the neighboring counties.
The operation went smoothly at the beginning. Not long after Hamilton and his party entered the Void Forest, they found the location of the dragon's nest according to the map. According to the information provided by the adventurer, there was a female black dragon and three eggs inside.
With the assistance of the knights, they first used a magic item called "Siren's Throat" outside the cave while the dragon was sleeping in the cave. This is one of the very few magic items that can affect the dragon. One, it will deepen the dragon's drowsiness, reduce its vigilance, and buy time for Hamilton to sing high-level ultimate move magic.
And Hamilton is worthy of being one of the peak combat powers of the human race. With one big move, he seriously injured the female giant dragon who was still sleeping in a daze. One move broke the defense and was beaten to residual blood, Hamilton's strength is beyond doubt!
Seeing that the female dragon was badly injured and lay dying in a pool of blood, the knights immediately rushed forward, put three dragon eggs into a pre-prepared storage box and prepared to take them away, and then collected the dragon eggs in another special container according to Hamilton's request. Blood.
However, just as Hamilton finished the second big move and was about to send the female black dragon on the road, a dragon roar full of infinite anger suddenly came from the sky behind them.Everyone looked back in astonishment, and saw another, stronger male black dragon rushing towards them.
The appearance of the second giant dragon made Hamilton and his party unexpected, because according to the "common sense" of this world, the giant dragon is a very lonely and solitary creature, and has never seen a situation where a male and a female live together.
The main reason is that the estrous cycle between the two is different. Generally, female giant dragons may have an estrous period once every ten or 20 years, while male giant dragons, like humans, have an estrous period throughout the year, so just like dolphins, they often have an estrus period. For other species, the dragon subspecies generally came from this way.
So under normal circumstances, female giant dragons are only willing to contact male giant dragons during the estrus period.And the male giant dragon also knows that the female finds him only to borrow a seed, so he usually turns around and leaves after confirming that the female is pregnant, completely leaving the parenting work to the female dragon, and being an irresponsible father.
However, there are always accidents, and it was very unfortunate that Hamilton and the others ran into each other.Not only did the female dragon in the cave have a mate, but the mate was also quite conscientious, because everyone present at the time could clearly see that the male giant dragon brought a lot of prey when he flew back.
The crowd couldn't resist the sudden appearance of the second giant dragon, so they could only flee in haste with the three dragon eggs they got under the cover of Hamilton.In order to increase the survival rate, the Silver Winged Knights led by Jie Gang divided into three groups, and each took a dragon egg and fled in different directions, hoping that at least one group of people would flee back with the dragon egg.
Lude couldn't take it any longer when he heard this, he was neither a small animal insurance nor the Virgin Mary, but what Hamilton and his party did made him very disgusted.After all, they did not slaughter dragons to survive or protect the environment and the people, but simply to get dragon eggs.
It's like the difference between slaughtering poultry and poaching!
And think about it differently, if he is the male giant dragon, he goes out hunting hard to replenish his wife and children, but when he returns home, he sees a group of insane robbers rushing into his house, not only wanting to steal his children , and severely injured his wife, and even prepared to silence him, his anger is completely understandable.
"You guys, I really don't know how to describe you..."
"Old friend, we are also doing this for this country. The Galio Empire in the south has been expanding for the past few decades and is eyeing the surrounding countries. If the Duran Kingdom wants to protect itself, it must have an army that can compete with the Imperial Dragon Knights. combat power, so we need dragons."
"Then what about the villagers outside? Who did they provoke? They have to suffer this kind of crime for no reason! Don't you think carefully about the possible consequences before doing something?"
"Of course I thought about it! But who would have thought that there would be two dragons!"
Facing Lude's accusation, Hamilton was also very annoyed. He is not the kind of cold-blooded person who doesn't care about the life and death of others, but this time the matter is indeed far beyond his control.Hamilton now only hopes to get in touch with the Three-person Tower as soon as possible, and call the other two chiefs, so that he can barely confront a raging black dragon head-on.
Seeing that this group of people stabbed people but there was no way to end it, Lu De is also one head and two big at the moment!The angry black dragon might find Songshu Village at any time, but they didn't have the strength to fight against it, and they had nowhere to escape.
And it seemed to confirm Lude's conjecture. Suddenly there was a panicked scream from the crowd outside the temple, followed by a high-pitched and dull roar from afar. The timid man trembled.
Lude understands that they have been targeted by the dragon!
End of this chapter
"Dragon! It's a dragon!"
Amidst the terrified shouts of the people, a huge black figure appeared on the hill to the west of the village. The other party had already spotted Songshu Village and was flying towards the village at high speed with its huge wings flapping.
When Lude heard the dragon attack, he gave Hamilton a hard look, then grabbed his priest's scepter and strode out the door.
Lude now has the ability to use magic, even if he can't beat the dragon, at least he can hold on for a while.And since this power comes from the people, the one who has power should use it to protect the people.
Lu De has never forgotten that he is the people's policeman!
Looking at the back of Lude moving forward resolutely, Hamilton and several Silver Wing Knights all felt a little ashamed.The old magician couldn't help but sighed, took out the last bottle of magic-replenishing potion on his body from his pocket, and then drank it with his head raised.
"Fuck him, fight!"
At the gate of the temple, as soon as Lude came out, he saw the giant dragon in the sky not far away and the villagers flocking towards the temple on the ground.
It was Hume and Luo Ye who rushed over. They looked dignified, grabbed Lu De's arm, and wanted to take him away involuntarily.
"Quick! Come with us, this place is not suitable for long!"
"It's too late, and I can't just let my followers die."
"Are you crazy!? No one here is a match for that giant dragon, neither you nor me nor that Hamilton! Don't be stupid! As you said, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. It's too late if you don't run away. Already!"
Seeing that Luther wants to be a hero, Hume is going crazy. Luther is her hope of turning around, and she doesn't care about the life and death of other ordinary people.
It was too late to say that the dragon had already flown over the village, and the opponent did not immediately attack the ground, but kept circling, as if looking for something.
Lude knew that this male dragon was looking for its abducted child, so he didn't rush to attack the crowd on the ground, for fear that he would accidentally hurt his own flesh and blood when he breathed out.
Seeing this scene, Lu De suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"Hume, wait a minute and I will hold that big guy here first. Go to the temple and snatch the box that the knights are looking at. The guy's egg inside, if the dragon really has advanced wisdom, today's There may be more to talk about! Hurry up!"
Under Lude's urging, Hume could only do as he said, and Lude didn't care about changing into his flamboyant white robe, and waved the scepter directly, which was a signature Great Holy Light , using the soaring beam of light to attract the attention of the black dragon.
"Hey! Look here!"
Like a mocking technique, the holy light attracted the dragon's attention, but this flying lizard was smart, but it didn't intend to stop and talk at all, so it turned around and sprayed three mouthfuls in Lude's direction." Thick phlegm".
The huge fireball rushed towards the face with scorching heat, but before hitting Lude and the temple behind him, it was blocked by a magic barrier.Hamilton, who chanted the spell loudly, came to Lude's side, with a large number of flame runes flying around him, and a surge of magical power emanating from his body.
Relying on the highest-speed chant recognized by the magic world, Hamilton cast more than a dozen magic barriers in a row, blocking all three dragon breath missiles of the black dragon.But his appearance also completely angered the black dragon in the air, and it recognized the egg thief almost at a glance.
So the black dragon flapped a pair of giant wings and floated in mid-air, took a deep breath, and launched its strongest attack on the enemy in front of it.
"My lord, be careful!"
Seeing the monstrous flames spewed out by the giant dragon, Lude immediately cast a high-level divine spell - Absolute Sanctuary without hesitation.This is a theoretically invincible defensive magic technique that can counteract attacks of any attribute, but it requires a considerable amount of divine power.
So he took the black dragon's full blow, and Lude seemed to be fine, but Aina, not far behind him, suddenly collapsed, thanks to Shanisi's support from behind to prevent him from falling down.The bystanders present all thought that the little nun was frightened, but in fact, she was a little collapsed because of being whipped so hard.
"Master! You should save yourself..."
One move of Absolute Sanctuary emptied more than two-thirds of Aina's divine power. Lude, who appeared to be calm on the surface, was actually panicked because he couldn't make a second move.
Under normal circumstances, low-level divine spells do not have any restrictions on the user, as long as they can be used by the gods.But when it comes to middle and high-level divine arts, priests themselves also need to have certain qualifications.
To use an analogy, the priest is the light bulb, and the god is the power supply. The light bulb has a difference in wattage, and the higher the wattage, the brighter it is. Lude has the original fire in his body, so his physical aptitude has been connected with any innate ability. Like Du Ermai, what restricts his performance is the lack of battery.
Therefore, at this stage, Lude mainly pretends to be bluffing.
So taking advantage of the moment when the black dragon was a little dazed because it was blocked with a full blow, Lu De hurriedly shouted.
"Noble Dragon Clan! Please calm down! The vast majority of people here are innocent people who are completely ignorant, please don't hurt them, your child is here with me."
With the intention of giving it a go, Lude finished shouting. He looked up at the giant dragon in the air. Although the other party's gaze towards the ground was still full of strong hostility, the attack did not continue. Obviously he understood. What Lude said just now.
At this time, Hume came out holding the wooden box containing the dragon eggs.In order to get the box from those stubborn knights, Hume, who has always been stealing, robbed it directly.
The giant dragon in the sky saw the box containing the eggs at a glance, and immediately uttered an angry dragon roar. In the deafening roar, there was a spirit called Longwei, which made many weak-willed ordinary villagers on the ground go straight to the ground. Passed out.
The dragon folded its wings and landed fiercely in front of the temple gate, as if it was about to use its huge dragon claws to grab its precious eggs.But Lude rushed to the box first, reached out and pressed the dragon egg and said to the dragon.
"Hey, hey! Don't act rashly, back off! I tell you to back off! Otherwise, don't blame me for using my hands hard!"
Hearing Lude's threat, the black dragon hesitated, carefully retracted its claws and backed away, but the scarlet dragon eyes still stared at Lude.
As for Lu De, seeing that the black dragon really cared about his eggs, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The reason why he refused to return the egg directly, and even made a threatening gesture, was simply because he was afraid that the dragon would still refuse to let the villagers go after taking back his own dragon egg.
So Lude wanted to use the egg as a threat to negotiate terms with the dragon. He had to find a way to ensure the safety of the villagers before returning the egg to the angry father dragon!
End of this chapter
Because his egg was pinched by Lude, the male black dragon was obviously a little jealous, while Lude was quickly using his brain to think about the safest countermeasure.
At this time, Heilong didn't speak, and a deep voice that shook people's eardrums suddenly rang in the ears of everyone present.
"Human! Give me back my child!"
Lude, who was shocked by the loud voice, almost staggered and failed to stand still, but the dragon spoke, which is undoubtedly good news for him, because being able to communicate means being able to fool around, and the next step is his chance to show off his eloquence.
"Of course the dragon egg can be returned to you. I can understand your anger. But please believe me, the vast majority of human beings here are really innocent. If I had known this hairless old bastard They are going to steal dragon eggs, and when he was staying in our village, I definitely wouldn't even give them water to wash pots."
Hearing Ludd's slap in the face, and even slapped himself, Hamilton's expression on the side couldn't help being a little subtle, but the dragon was right in front of him, and he couldn't get angry, so he could only endure it.
However, the black dragon obviously didn't want to hear any explanation. It waved its dragon claws and hammered the ground heavily, and growled in a violent tone.
"Humans! Don't try to play any tricks, return the child to me immediately, or I will kill all the humans here!"
"But how can I trust you? If I give you the dragon egg and you go back on your word, won't we still all die?"
"You... don't confuse me with you!"
Seeing that Lu De used himself to kill the dragon, the black dragon was obviously very angry, and sparks shot out from the gap between his teeth.But this guy suddenly came up and looked at Lu De carefully, and then asked abruptly.
"Human, are you a priest?"
"Yes, I am a priest."
"Do you know lay on hands?"
"Of course! And very good at it, if you don't believe me, ask them."
Lude pointed at the people around him, and everyone hurriedly nodded to testify to him that Lude's lay on hands is indeed very good.The black dragon rolled his big eyes and directly made a request to Lu De.
"In that case, you take my child and follow me, and I can swear to any god you choose to let these humans go."
"no problem!"
