Because the giant dragon was frightened and seriously injured, Annie, Shirkey and Gus had to disrupt their original plan to return immediately and were forced to stay at Gott's house for two full days. .
During the two days he stayed at Gott's house, because Shirji also carved a magic circle on the brand on Casca's chest to cover it up, and there was a resentful dragon lying intimidatingly outside the courtyard, Therefore, no unsightly things dared to harass them, and everyone was allowed to spend two days of relaxation and comfort.
then!
On the morning of the third day, the big reptile, which had basically recovered, was able to carry Gott, Erica, Rickett and others with curious and excited faces. She looked more like a little girl than Erica. Together with Casca and the four new guests, they flew towards the City of Holy Light.
"Wow!"
"It's really riding a dragon!"
"marvelous!"
"Gus!"
"So, you are now a Dragon Knight?!"
Lying on the dragon's back, which is spacious and even comparable to his original courtyard, he touches those beautiful black scales and are as tough as steel, and feels the slight rise and fall of the muscles on the back of the dragon as it breathes, as well as the hunting movements in its ears. Erica, who flew into the sky for the first time, yelled like Casca for a while, then excitedly turned to Gus, who was sitting cross-legged with Gott next to the salute and asked. .
"ah?"
"that……"
"This dragon is actually not mine anymore..."
"I can't control it. Is it actually Shirji's mount?"
Although he was a little embarrassed, Gus still didn't hide it and honestly answered the fact that he was not the so-called dragon knight.
"Is it sister Shirji's?"
"!
"
"Really?!"
Hearing this, Erica couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because she never asked, and Gus and others never mentioned it, so she still thought that this dragon belonged to Gus.
"I remember……"
"Didn't she tell you the day we first arrived?"
Shaking his head, Gus glanced at a troublesome little girl not far away who was holding the stuffed toy bear and taking a nap on the dragon's back. She hadn't opened her eyes much since takeoff.
"Did you say anything?"
"I do not remember……"
"At that time, I only cared about getting scolded..."
Thinking of the day when she used the "poisonous stinger" to blast the big guy to the ground twice, Erica couldn't help but look at the witch Shirji who was also sitting cross-legged on the other side with some embarrassment. After seeing that the other party had no intention of turning around and saying anything, she playfully stuck out her tongue at Gus.
"..."
Unfortunately, Shirji didn't seem to hear the conversation between Gus and Erica. She just continued to sit in front and looked ahead intently.
"Anyway!"
"What a shame!"
"Brother Gus, I thought you could become the legendary dragon knight!"
"I never thought that the dragon knight was Sister Shirji?"
"In this case, isn't Sister Shirji a kind of dragon witch... or a dragon mage?"
"I'm so envious!"
Seeing that Sister Shirji had no intention of blaming her, Erica quickly continued talking to Gus.
"Maybe?"
"but……"
"There are still a group of flying dragons in the City of Holy Light."
"They are much smaller than this one. They can only carry two to three people at a time. Farnese and the others are planning to train a group of dragon knights in the next six months. By then, maybe they can let her give you Leave one?"
While jokingly speaking, Gus once again looked at the troubled little girl who was still napping with a stuffed bear in her arms.
One glance.
It was obvious that those group of flying dragons, apart from being caught by the other party when they had nothing to do and kept for fun, there would definitely not be anyone else who could do such outrageous things. .
"Give me a dragon?"
"!
"
"Is it really possible?"
"Very good!
"
Hearing that she could have a dragon of her own, even a smaller one, was enough to make Erica excited, so she jumped up and cheered.
"Erica!"
"Gus was kidding you, stop it."
But at this time, Gaut, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, suddenly spoke, and scolded Erica with a glaring look, gesturing for Erica to sit down like him.
"Sit tight for me and be careful of falling?"
After all, they are now hundreds of kilometers high in the sky. If they fall, they will be smashed into meat patties instantly. If that happens, they have no way to rescue them. No joke!
"honestly……"
"Gault, I'm not kidding."
"Erica has the kind of long-distance attack method that you and I have seen. It is a weapon countless times more powerful than the average marksman. If she is willing to join the Legion of Holy Light, I believe that Farnese You will definitely be welcomed.”
Thinking of the weird weapons that Erica owned as a gift from a bad little girl, and thinking of the other party's great achievements in shooting down the giant dragon they were riding on with two shots, Gus felt that if Erica then If Ka can become one of them and provide some remote support, he will definitely be a very good combat power?
"no!"
However, as a father, Gott is not willing for Erica to join the army at such a young age, even if Gus is the leader of the Holy Light Legion?
"I disagree!"
"Erica is still young, so let's wait two years before talking!"
So, of course, he declined Gus's kindness directly and without any doubt.
"Dad Gott!"
"I'm no longer young!"
Of course Erica was very dissatisfied with her adoptive father's decision, so she protested loudly and coquettishly.
"Brother Gus and Rickett both joined the army when they were very young, and so did sister Shirji. She is now a witch of the Legion of Light!"
"What can they do that I can't do?"
Then she directly listed the things about Gus, Rickett, Shirkey and others as reasons for persuasion.
"That's different!"
"You are only ten years old. Rickett and Gus grew up in a mercenary group. How can you compare with them?"
"As for Shirji, she is already twelve years old, and she is also a witch. You are different from her."
"No way!"
"War is no joke. You should wait two years before we talk!"
Shaking his head and waving his hands, Gott ignored Erica's angry and pleading eyes and impatiently rejected Gus's proposal just now.
"you!
"
"I have been protecting you for the past month!"
"I also destroyed most of those monsters!"
She had no choice but to see her adoptive father's disgusting expression. After thinking about it, Erica had no choice but to bring up her achievements during this period.
"Isn't that because of those weapons?"
"Without those things, you wouldn't be able to defeat even the worst beast demon!"
"No means no!"
"I disagree."
"You're too young."
No matter what Erica said, Gott still didn't want to
It was easy for his adopted daughter to join the army, especially when the other party was only ten years old.
"I!"
"I'm ignoring you!"
Having no choice but to glare at Gott, Erica turned away directly, and the joyful mood that she felt because she could fly into the sky instantly disappeared without a trace.
"ah……"
"Rei...Ka..."
Fortunately, at this time, Erica still had Casca, who crawled carefully to Erica's side and clumsily called out Erica's name.
"..."
But it's a pity that Casca, who has been together for so long and can't even call everyone by their names, is not the best person to comfort others at this time, so in the end, she just blinked her confused eyes. He was just sitting on his knees and looking at Erica as if he was joining in the fun, which made Erica both angry and funny, but she had no good solution.
"??"
"strangeness……"
"Gus!"
"The City of Holy Light you mentioned, I remember, it should be in that direction, right?"
"But why do we seem to be taking a detour?"
Regarding the matter of Gott and Erica, Rickett couldn't interfere too much. After all, it was a matter between other people's father and daughter. It was definitely not easy for outsiders like them to interfere. So, he kept After observing the ground and discovering some abnormal situations, he suddenly pointed his hand in a certain direction strangely and asked Gus.
"Ah!"
"Rickit, your sense of direction is really good, still as good as before."
"Yes!"
"You're right, we are indeed taking a detour."
He was startled at first, and then after looking at Rickett up and down and praising him, Gus continued:
"because……"
"If we fly directly to our destination, we will pass over the Falconia area. That guy has many flying apostles, some of them are very powerful. In that case, everyone's safety may not be guaranteed. .”
"So, we need to fly forward for a while, and then go west after flying over Falconia."
"Although that will waste a lot of time, at least it will be safer?"
As he spoke, Gus once again looked at Casca, who obviously couldn't speak a few words, but now looked like she was communicating with Erica.
Now that they have completely turned against Falconia, especially after he killed the apostle Gulen Belludo and captured thousands of the other party's people, the situation was basically the same as declaring war. Therefore, in With a family like this, he was definitely not willing to take the risk of flying over Falconia.
Even if he was not afraid of those apostles or some despicable guy, for the safety of Casca, Erica and others, taking a detour or something had become an inevitable choice.
"I see."
"So that's it..."
"But, I really want to see what kind of place Falconia is..."
Nodding, although he agreed with Gus's idea, Rickett still looked in a certain direction with some regret.
It's a pity that even though he was thousands of meters high in the sky, even on the back of the giant dragon, even if Rickett stretched his neck, in the end, he could only vaguely see a little bit of the straight tree. There were only branches of the huge and glowing World Tree in the sky. As for Falconia, a huge city that was said to be very gorgeous, he couldn't even see its shadow.
"Falconia?"
He frowned and glanced at Rickett, and Gus, who seemed to know what he was thinking, couldn't help but look in Wyndham's direction in a daze.
"snort!"
"Will have the opportunity next time."
Then, he sighed and snorted in his heart, then simply closed his eyes and began to fall asleep, not intending to say anything more.
In this way, everyone continued to ride on the giant
On the dragon's back, it continued to glide forward at an extremely high speed.
…
"!
"
눈_눈
Otherwise!
I don’t know how long it took, but at a certain moment, a troubled little girl next to me who should have been sleeping soundly suddenly opened her eyes.
"ah!"
"not good!
"
Almost at the same time, the green-haired witch Shirji, who had been silent and was just sitting near the dragon's neck "controlling" the dragon, suddenly exclaimed and jumped up holding her big wand.
Whoosh~!
Phew!
At this moment, a huge steel gun suddenly flew up diagonally from the dense forest on the ground like an arrow, and after flying nearly a thousand meters in height, it could still move at a terrifying speed. It hit and penetrated the huge dragon's broad wings in an instant, and successfully penetrated a bowl-sized gap directly on the cuticle of the wing membrane on that side.
"!
"
"Ouch!
"
Then of course, the giant dragon hit by the sudden attack first let out a roar of pain, and then swayed, but in the end it managed to stabilize its flying posture, and there was no non-fatal injury like a small gap in its wings. It lost the ability to fly, and it did not drop the passengers on its back.
[In view of the general environment,
Whoosh~!
Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
At this moment, more steel guns flew up from the ground.
Their speed is still so fast and deadly, this time there are more of them, and they are targeting the vital parts of the dragon's body and the body where the broad wings are connected.
"!
"
Finally, this time Shirji was not idle. She reacted quickly and took action.
"Armor protection!
"
In her haste, she recited a quick spell and waved the big wand in her hand quickly.
Soon, she completed the spell in a very short period of time, successfully placing a translucent shield directly on the dragon's lower abdomen and instantly causing those steel guns to hit the translucent wall. Let them be smashed to pieces in an instant or simply hit the bend and bounce away feebly.
"..."
(っ̯-。)
"Sister Shirji!"
(°ー°〃)
"There seems to be more up there!"
(๑¯¯๑)
At this time, before Shirji could breathe a sigh of relief and check the situation of the enemies on the ground, Anne, who had just been awakened, rubbed her eyes before suddenly speaking out to remind her.
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
Whoosh~!
The next second, before Shirji could recover, the same steel spears that looked like spears fiercely shot down at them from above the clouds in the sky, causing Shirji to Ji couldn't help but stand on end as he looked at it.
"!
"
But fortunately, Shirji is not the kind of person who just eats dry food!
"There are many obstacles!
"
Just when she saw that those steel guns were about to nail them and the dragon into hedgehogs, she resolutely took out the amazing short wand given to her by Annie from the cuff of her wide witch robe, and quickly A certain spell was cast the moment he raised it above his head.
Benedict!
Benedict! Benedict!
The next second, as the magic power was being circulated and stirred up, there was a muffled sound of impact.
Then everyone discovered that what seemed to be an invisible barrier was instantly opened above the dragon's head, and then those steel guns, numbering at least dozens of them, were dangerously blocked about a few meters above everyone's heads.
Down and all bounced away.
"There's an ambush!"
"It's those demon warriors and apostles from Falconia!
"
"Shirji!"
"quick!"
"Land down to that place!"
At this time, when I saw a group of flying apostles appearing in the sky to the left and right in front of me, and there was also a strange silver centaur on the ground who was leading another group of apostles to run quickly on the ground in pursuit, while holding in his hand Still holding the steel gun and preparing to shoot again, Gus, who felt that he could not rely solely on Shirji's magic and that he could not cast it in the sky, hurriedly gave instructions.
"..."
"Know!"
"Sit tight!"
Subconsciously, he felt that Gus was right. He felt that his magic power might not be able to block the continuous attacks. He also saw more and more flying apostles appearing in the sky in front of him. He knew that if he continued to fly forward, he would definitely plunge into them. Shirji, who entered the enemy's ambush circle, let out a scolding sound and controlled his dragon to land as smoothly as possible towards the large island in the middle of the huge lake on the ground.
"Black Swordsman!"
"Don't even think about running away!"
"Come and accept your fate!
!
"
At this time, while Shirji controlled the giant dragon to land diagonally towards the island in the middle of the lake at the fastest speed and tried his best to avoid the enemy's air and ground attacks, in the distance, a huge one-horned Minotaur appeared. Flapping its demonic wings, roaring, and waving a terrifying huge scimitar, he broke away from the opponent's team and chased them regardless.
"ah!"
!(;゚o゚)o
"There are so many enemies..."
(゚Д゚≡゚д゚)!
Anne couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw enemies cooperating from several directions in the sky and on the ground to round them up, and seeing the number of ferocious apostles numbering in the hundreds or even thousands.
Of course, I was just surprised.
If the people present were paying attention, it would not be difficult to find that at this moment, there was no trace of fear on the face of this terrible little girl!
"It's about to land!"
"Everything is secured!
! "
However, before Annie could continue to say anything, the giant dragon U they were riding on had already dropped to the ground from the sky that was more than a thousand meters high, and at the same time, it suddenly stopped and hit the center of the lake hard. Inside the dense forest of the island.
Rumble...
With a loud noise, when the huge dragon landed safely, and when the dust, sawdust, leaves, etc. flew into the sky, those frightened birds and other weird creatures were of course... They all screamed in panic and fled towards the sky and the ground in all directions.
