Scientific Cultivation Of Immortals, Mechanical Ascension
Chapter 238 Under The Starry Sky
Roy had no choice but to take out the iron crossbow and confront a group of people.
spy?
He also didn't know when he became a spy.
The knight commander threw the knight sword aside, and with nothing on his hands, he crept forward and approached slowly, "Princess Noel, get away from him! We are here to rescue you."
Noel immediately stood in front of Roy, and said in a cold voice with a straight face: "I was not a Noel princess before, and I will never be."
"I'm Noel. George!"
"George... That's right, John George, the knight commander beside King Eaton, was ordered to take you away when the kingdom was in turmoil more than 20 years ago, but he never came back." The knight commander showed kind eyes and smiled. Said: "Now that the turmoil has subsided for many years, His Majesty Eaton thought he had lost you, thank God Carlo!"
"The rune in your hand is also evidence!"
"Princess Noel, come back to the capital with us, prosperity and wealth are waiting for you."
The knight commander spread out his arms and made a gesture of hugging.
Noel instinctively hid the necklace, retreated, and the dragon also spewed a fishy breath at the knight commander, which was quite spiritual.
The face of the knight opposite with a long white and yellow beard suddenly froze, "Princess Noel, I will offend you."
Before the words fell, a magic circle suddenly rose from Noel's feet, and soon spread out. Roy's feet were soft, as if he had sunk into the mud, unable to move any more.
Even the place where the giant dragon stepped on turned into a puddle of mud, and its feet sank nearly a foot in.
At the same time, a black-robed demon Mage walked out of the cave. The gem at the top of the magic wand in his hand was shining with a khaki-yellow light. He lifted his hood, revealing a young face with silver hair and a kind of Nobility.
There is a badge issued by the Holy See on the chest, which seems to be a Novice demon Mage.
He looked at Roy with some vigilance, looked at him for a long time, and his expression relaxed a little, "Aren't you a Mage?"
At the same time, the mud on the ground climbed up Roy's calf, and the final result can be imagined, he will turn into a gray statue.
Taking advantage of his upper body still moving, Roy shot a crossbow arrow at the silver-haired demon Mage without saying a word, but the crossbow arrow was blocked by an invisible mask not far in front of the demon Mage.
"Ding dong! It is detected that the host is in a desperate situation, do you need help!"
"No rush." Roy replied, bowing his head and starting to load the crossbow bolts.
"Reminder, the attack power of the crossbow bolts cannot destroy the defense of the Primary magical blue and white shield!"
Without saying a word, Roy silently wound up the iron crossbow, and then only heard a "click", Roy actually removed the trigger on the iron crossbow, and pressed the trigger with his hand, which means that as soon as he let go or loosen his strength, , the crossbow arrows can be launched.
He intentionally made it very obvious. He lightly pressed the iron crossbow against the heart of Noel's back, and said sharply, "If you don't want her to die, get out of here."
The knight commander panicked for a moment, he naturally knew the consequences of dismantling the trigger, and immediately took a few steps towards retreated, "Roy Kahn, calm down! You may still live if you let Princess Noel go, but if you kill Princess Noel, you will definitely die !"
"Get out and seal the hole, please do it." Roy gritted his teeth and said sharply.
The knight commander turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Didn't you hear me? Go into the cave!"
A group of cavalry trotted into the cave in desperation, and the crowded entrance was instantly opened up. Mage coldly glanced at Roy, put on his hood, and went into the darkness.
The magic circle on the ground was dispelled instantly.
"Roy Kahn, the consequences of your actions will be serious." The knight commander said in an almost threatening tone.
After saying that, he turned and left, and the armor all over his body made a "bang bang" collision sound when he walked around.
When everyone left, there was a bang in the cave, followed by smoke and dust, and the tunnel was sealed.
At this time, Roy quickly moved the iron crossbow, and his fingers instantly lost force, and he fired the crossbow bolt.
Pressing the crossbow with the thumb is extremely useless, and Roy may not be able to hold on any longer, and now his fingers are trembling slightly, and there is a black mark on the thumb.
Su Xiaoxiao blushed, "Host, you make me lose face..."
...
"Sorry Noel, I risked you." Roy said very apologetically.
Noel obviously hadn't recovered yet, just shook his head blankly, and said after a while, "It's okay, it's okay."
At this time Roy had already started to check the surrounding situation, he looked up at the light coming from above.
Trapped in this place, the only way out is in the sky.
Roy couldn't help looking at the giant dragon beside him, "Silly dragon, why didn't you help out just now?"
The dragon seemed to be able to tell the truth, roared at Roy, spit out raindrops of saliva, and then went to show affection to Noel.
Roy frowned, and looked at Noel with a smile, "Why don't you try asking him to help you?"
Noel stared wide-eyed, stroked the head of the giant dragon, Mumu nodded, "Help what?"
...
Soon, the bushes on the top of the cave began to shake violently, and the dragon flew out of it, straight into the sky, with two people hanging around the dragon's neck.
Afterwards, the giant dragon entered the posture of level flight, and the two sat firmly on the dragon's back. The head-on hurricane blew their hair loose and their clothes rattled.
The joy of escaping from the sky didn't last long, and Roy, who was sitting in the back, noticed that a black cloud was gathering around him, and after a closer look, he found that it was a group of densely packed ravens!
Seeing the giant dragon, the restlessness spread among the crows, and there was a "wow" sound, and then they surrounded the giant dragon.
Finding that it was being harassed by low-quality black-feathered scavengers, the giant dragon roared angrily and began to spew scorching dragon flames.
As a kind of powerful Magical Beasts, the flames ejected by the giant dragon are tens of meters long. Where the flames swept, the ravens fell one after another. The ravens that were not directly burned to death swirled all the way, emitting black smoke , making a shrill scream.
The flames emitted by the dragon are highly adhesive, and can stick to the target surface, continuously roasting.
Soon, a gap was broken through the black cloud, and the dragon rushed out, and the raven could no longer catch up with the dragon.
The mountains behind him became farther and farther away, and Roy's hanging heart was finally relieved.
The falling ravens ignited the mountain forest, and the violent wildfire spread, and the black smoke and the crows covered the ground together.
The knight commander on the ground witnessed all this, and cursed coldly, "Damn it!"
Mage raised his hood and looked up slightly, with a cold expression and unclear meaning.
...
The dragon gradually climbed to a height of more than 2,000 meters, exceeding the attack range of the ballista of the border guards. It is difficult for the ordinary Mage's attack to reach such a height. The two crossed the border safely.
But high above the sky, the temperature was cold and the wind was blowing. The clothes on their bodies could not withstand the severe cold. They all hugged the dragon tightly, shrank into a ball, and shook involuntarily.
Not to mention the fear that heights bring to them.
The process is inevitably tormented.
After confirming the safety, Roy asked Noel to lower the dragon and landed on the bank of a big river. Immediately afterwards, the dragon flapped its wings and flew away without hesitation.
Noel looked up at the direction where the dragon left, "It's repaying the favor."
"This is better than most people." Roy muttered a few words, "Let's go, find someone to ask Moswell how to get there."
The place where the giant dragon landed was a river delta, and rivers, large and small, flowed into distant lakes like tree roots.
In other words, in fact, the entire Taroy Federation is a country built on a river beach.
On the vast plain, countless rivers flow from the plateau and mountains in the northwest, and the water system is extremely developed.
The rivers have brought floods year after year, and at the same time, they have given birth to vast and fertile fields, so the Tower Roy Federation is extremely strong.
If it weren't for the precipitous terrain of the Eaton Kingdom, which formed a natural pass, the Eaton Kingdom would also be part of the Taroy Federation.
After wading through several small river ditches, they saw a small village in the woods. In the open space, a group of women were weaving fishing nets. They obviously depended on fishing for their livelihood.
Several children were playing in the distance, and they were the first to see Roy and Noel emerging from the woods.
"Mom, someone is coming!" A little boy pointed at Roy.
Roy quickly opened his hands and walked slowly with a shy smile, for fear of arousing their vigilance.
"Hehe, how can I get to Moswell?"
The women looked at each other, making eye contact.
"Language barrier? It shouldn't be." Roy muttered to himself.
At this moment, one of the older ones got up and asked, "An Etonian?"
"Yes." Roy was a little surprised and nodded.
The old woman chuckled and said, "Have you committed a crime? Or can't you live in the Kingdom of Eaton? Or are you eloped lovers?"
"The world is so big, we want to come out and have a look." Roy said simply.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked by the way, "Have many criminals fled to the Roy Federation before?"
"Yes." There was an inexplicable smile on the old woman's face, "Looking at the direction you came from, you must have drifted all the way from the Nero River by boat."
"The Nero River is blessed by the gods. Bad guys cannot reach our village. They will be swallowed by the raging river water at the most dangerous section, and then gnawed by piranhas until there is no bone left."
"So, you are good people."
Roy showed a dry smile. Fortunately, they didn't see the trace of the dragon, otherwise they really couldn't tell.
However, he was very concerned about one thing, so he asked, "Grandma, is there a god in this Nero River? Isn't there only one god?"
Roy pointed to the sky.
The old woman made a prayer gesture, "The great and glorious Carlo is naturally the only true god, but there are many other gods protecting the people of Shia, and they are the representatives of Carlo."
Roy imitated, "You are so devout, Carlo will naturally bless you."
"So, what are you doing at Moswell?" the old woman laughed.
"Go to the Holy See's Resonance Ceremony." Roy said directly.
The old woman covered her chest with her right hand and leaned slightly, "May you get Carlo's approval."
Then his left hand pointed in a direction, "Here, along the direction of the water flow, you will arrive at Lake Char, and Moswell is just opposite Lake Char!"
"Thank you." Roy bent down to thank, then raised his head and smiled, "Grandma, can I buy a boat from you?"
The old woman's wrinkled face froze suddenly, "Where do you own the boat?"
"Hehe, I just ran aground and was submerged." Roy scratched his head.
The old woman shook her head helplessly, "It seems that you are not purely good people, but luckily you are not bad people."
Afterwards, the old woman led them to the river. The water in the bend was calm, and several small wooden boats were tied to the big trees on the bank, fluctuating with the water surface.
"Choose it yourself."
Roy took a few glances and found that there was nothing to choose. They were all old wooden boats. They were not good, at best they would not leak or capsize.
After paying a silver coin, the wooden boat is now theirs.
The two stepped onto the boat, and Roy paddled away, and waved goodbye to the old woman eagerly, but the other side ignored him at all.
Slowly moving away from the shore, the current became stronger, and with the current, it floated into Lake Char.
In the misty water vapor on the lake, you can gradually see many strong men fishing on fishing boats, they should be the men in the village.
When they saw the familiar boat being rowed away by a stranger, they didn't react, and continued to cast and pull the net.
Lake Char is much bigger than Roy thought. After paddling for at least a few hours, I didn't see the shore. Fortunately, the direction of the current is stable and I won't be too tired.
When it was time for dinner, in addition to taking out the bacon, Roy also tied the crossbow arrows with a rope, transformed them into harpoons, and fired them out with an iron crossbow.
Moreover, there are inexplicably many fish around the boat, and a few fresh freshwater fish were easily caught.
Remove the knife and slice it to enjoy.
And Roy didn't care about parasites for a long time, so he dipped some salt and spice powder and started to eat.
Noel has never seen this way of eating, and he was a little apprehensive at first, but with Roy's instigation, it was really delicious.
"Yeah, delicious, what's the recipe?"
"Fish sticks!"
Roy smiled.
This method of cutting fresh fish into slices and using it directly is called Yujiao. There is a saying in an ancient poem, "This trip is not for perch and carp, but for self-love famous mountains and entering Shanzhong."
Moreover, the fish in Lake Char is extraordinarily sweet and tender, and now Roy has finally experienced the joy of catching, killing and eating now.
After eating and drinking enough, night has covered up.
The two took each side of the boat, lay down and began to rest.
There is no moon today, and the sky is full of stars. Roy turned his head sideways and saw the sky full of stars reflected on the dark lake, and with the fluctuation of the water, the starry sky seemed to shine brighter.
The surroundings were terribly silent, except for the faint sound of rippling water, there was only the rustling sound of small fish hitting the bottom of the boat.
Roy put his hands on his head and looked at the starry sky, trying to find the orientation of the earth, but the star field in front of him was completely strange, so strange that it was terrifying.
"Roy, do you also like stargazing?" Noel's voice came from the boat.
"That's right, the universe is vast, making people feel so small, and it will stimulate people's most primitive fears and curiosity." Roy said with a sense of loss.
"Why are you afraid of the stars?" Even if he couldn't see Noel's face, Roy could feel Noel's doubts.
"Aren't the stars the lighthouse created by God Carlo to guide people? In the starry sky, God's will is hidden, waiting for us to interpret!" Noel said passionately.
Hearing this, Roy straightened his body in an instant, suddenly awakened.
Yes, Shia is a civilization that is still in the ignorant period!
