Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 75
The river, which had been infused with dragon blood potion, soon spread to the whole count of salon. The fact that the river turned red brought surprise to Elsa and other people who had already known about it, but it also caused a lot of fright to the soldiers in Zhuoluo town and the refugees scattered around the Earl''s command. Fortunately, when the soldiers who had been infected by the plague due to the battle with the rat people accidentally drank the red river water, and with their disease miraculously recovered, Lyon and Lothar in the town of turbid river also vaguely guessed that this was the writing of cheese.
And then the Knights of the Kingdom, with a large number of recovered refugees from the deserted village, verified their conjecture a few days later. In a word, after the first dose of cheese, the illness of the whole count of salon, who had not yet been completely transformed into rodents by the plague, was effectively suppressed. But as the developer of these drugs, cheese knows that this can only alleviate the epidemic situation for a while. Those pestilence viruses will not be completely killed by his drugs, as long as he does not find a way to eradicate the virus, these viruses will slowly mutate until they become a terrible natural disaster again. And the mage can be sure that this day will not be too long, and his potion is only a temporary expedient.
On the night of the antidote, cheese went back to the deserted village. He didn''t want to spend the night with a dragon whose temper was three times worse than usual because of bleeding. So the mage would rather go back to the deserted village in the cold wind. Because he arrived at the deserted village at midnight, and the river turned red, so that everyone knew that the master''s plan had been successful, there were not many people in the village awake at this time. When the huge red figure landed in a small sound that was totally out of line with her size, the only one who noticed this was the landlady who stayed up all night waiting for the master to come back.
When Elsa rushed down the stairs and ran outside the village, she saw the mage and the dragon under the moon. In the midnight sky, there are only a few stars and a bright moon. In such a world, all the colors look like a gradual change between silver and black. The gray robes turned silver in the moonlight, and the scales of the dragon were not as bright red as they were in the daytime. Of course, the dragon and the mage also noticed the arrival of the landlady. When cheese saw that Elsa was coming, he gave a little smile and made a small gesture. He didn''t want to wake up the whole village.
"I saw the water change color. You made it, didn''t you?" Elsa, who ran to the master, lowered her voice, but still said excitedly.
Cheese nodded. The successful spread of the potion was the premise that he could leave the count and lead Wang Du to pursue the false baron. If the epidemic situation here is still expanding, the mage can not leave blindly.
"Wait a minute. I''m going to pay Migo this time." The mage stopped the landlady who wanted to continue talking and said. He turned to face the dragon. Even in the dim moonlight, his huge body was still full of oppression.
"So you remember to pay." Migo said softly, although it is a good entertainment to appreciate the awe of ordinary people when they look at them, the Dragon now only hopes to get paid and leave. It is acceptable to be summoned by a mage as a flying tool, but it is forced by human force to "volunteer" to contribute blood. If other dragons hear about it, they will laugh their teeth off.
Cheese can probably guess why Migo wasn''t happy. In his opinion, although the dragon has lived ten times as long as its own, it is no different from those 11 or 12-year-old children. Even the fear of pain is the same. Of course, these mages think in their hearts that dragon still cares about face. If cheese dares to describe it like this, it is not impossible for the other party to tear up the contract in anger.
"Well, it''s getting late. I''d like to have an early rest. Do you want it or not? I''ll go back to bed if you''re more wordy Not angry said. Cheese held out his left hand.
Hearing the master''s plan to pay off his debts, red dragon quickly stretched out one of his front paws. One of the dragon''s claws was just below the mage''s left hand, which was said to be a thumb. However, the thickness of the claw was enough to serve as a small dining table. Seeing that the Dragon stretched out its claws, cheese did not say anything. His right hand took out a knife and opened the palm of his left hand in Elsa''s puzzled eyes. The bright red blood dripped from the mage''s hand to the dragon''s claw along the wound.
Although she was curious about the conditions for cheese to hire dragon, the landlady did not expect that the reward mentioned by the master was actually her own blood. And with the blood dripping, a black complex pattern appeared on the top of the dragon''s head, which looked like some ancient symbol. One third of the symbol had turned red, and the rest was still black. Although it was very weak, Elsa observed that the red part of the symbol was increasing at a very slow rate. But soon, the wound on the mage''s palm spontaneously healed, and the red and black ratio on the symbol no longer changed, and gradually became dark, and finally disappeared on the top of the dragon.
"I''ll take it this time. Boy, do you remember not to die before we finish our deal. " Red Dragon said and took back his claws, and then without waiting for the master to answer, he flapped his wings and flew into the sky. Soon, the Dragon disappeared behind the clouds at night."What''s the matter? Why is your blood the reward you give it? " Hold on to the mage whose legs are weak because of blood loss. The landlady asked.
"It''s nothing. Many years ago, Migo asked my teacher for help for some reason. At that time, the teacher sent me to solve this request. As a reward, Migo and I signed a master servant contract, but the contract was not unlimited. For the dragon, what I did was not enough to make it loyal to me all my life. So we made an agreement that every time I use Migo''s power, I will erase part of the contract with my own blood, which of course does not affect the validity of the contract. But when I have enough blood to erase the contract, Migo will be free Said the mage. Not only was the moonlight weak, but his face looked pale.
"That''s why you didn''t ask him to come and help before?" Asked Elsa.
"So it is. After all, there''s one thing I don''t have the right to laugh at Migo Said the mage with a smile.
"Because I''m afraid of pain, too."
