Qilin Horn
In the end, Lily sent Kant’s reply back to Dragon Island.
Kant had no choice but to temporarily seal the Zuan ‘an’s soul talent and say something that was neither strong nor forceful, as he was responding on behalf of Goethe.
However, the dragons were still extremely angry.
The noble ruler of the sky had been attacked and disappeared in Goethe. As an ant-like Goethe, he did not apologize and beg for mercy in fear and shock. He did not even prepare gifts to apologize. Instead, he directly threatened to start a war if he dared to enter the country without permission.
How dare he demand a fine from Dragon Island!
From the perspective and way the dragons viewed things, such a response was a complete provocation. It was an insult to the dignity of the dragons, a contempt for the glory of the dragons, and a blasphemy to the pride of the dragons. Such a reckless act must be completely and painfully destroyed.
According to the rules of the ancient times, the dragons should have sent the powerful God of Wings, the Azure Dragon Master, to destroy the country and race of these rebellious and arrogant ants, burning every inch of their farmland, forests, manors, cities, and even their pitiful living beings into glass with the scorching dragon breath.
The elders of the Dragon Council were indeed clamoring like this.
However, the angry roar soon weakened.
First of all, Goethe was insignificant, but a Skyquaker named Kant was protecting them. The alchemical weapons created by this person had unparalleled aerial combat power and could even pose a threat to the dragons.
The second and most important point.
The Phoenix King had already made it clear that she would maintain Valentan’s conditions and sincerity for negotiations at all times. She would always open the door to Kant.
Even if it was the most dangerous moment of the war with the dragon race.
What he meant was that if a war broke out between Goethe and Dragon Island, Kant would have to sacrifice his loyalty to Sunset Moon to summon his spirits to interfere in the war…Then, the Phoenix King would respond.
“Damn it!”
A dragon elder who did not want to reveal his name roared.
“However…” Then, he said.
The old dragons present used the same way of thinking that dragons were divided into groups and birds of a feather were gathered to understand the reading and understanding of this old friend’s meaning.
I was going to say that you guys should just attack together, but the elves are too good at fighting.
In short, the Phoenix King’s public declaration at this time became an important bargaining chip to reverse the situation. Goethe, who refused to back down, and the aggressive dragons stopped the war that was about to break out at the edge of the cliff. Even the most arrogant dragon supremacist did not dare to risk fighting with Mu Yue to teach Kant a lesson.
But he couldn’t back down.
The Dragon Clan could not lose face.
Seeing that the Phoenix King’s attitude had extinguished the fire seeds of the Giant Dragon Elders, the Dragon Emperor heaved a sigh of relief and began to mediate. He was also badly battered about this matter.
The missing dragon had to be found. He wanted to see the dragon alive, and he wanted to see its corpse if it was dead.
After all, although these dragons were the fools of the conservative faction and were ordered around by the elders all day long and could not be used by the dragon defense company, they were still dragons. They could not be killed outside for no reason and their corpses could not be found-it was too f * cking wasteful. How could they let the enemy have it?
Moreover, with the elders stirring up trouble and stirring up public opinion, the clansmen usually had the nationalistic sentiment that the giant dragon was the best in the world. Now that their clansmen were killed outside, if the ruler did not take tough and decisive measures to take revenge and regain his honor, he would not even let out a fart. Then his position as the Dragon Emperor would be unstable.
But tough… Even so, he had to be tough.
During the previous business meeting and Santos ‘report, the Dragon Emperor had already gained a certain understanding of Kant’s character. He was a strong-willed troublemaker who was not interested in politics.
The subsequent negotiations proved this point.
With the elves backing him up, he became even more arrogant.
If the giant dragons wanted face, they could even pay the price. The Dragon Emperor wanted Goethe to sacrifice some superficial things to take care of the pride and face of the dragon race. For this, the Dragon Island could give generous compensation in private.
The so-called face was nothing more than the presence of an observation team, a joint investigation, and Goethe’s official apology to the Dragon Island, indicating that he would investigate the matter thoroughly. This way, he could appease those idiotic dragons who slept in their nests all day and roared when they heard something.
However, the response was always no.
No, you’re not allowed to come. Not a single dragon is allowed to come. If they come, kill them. You’ll have to bear the consequences.
As for an apology, there was no need to even think about it. You were the ones who trespassed into the country and illegally invaded Goethe. You were the ones who were too weak to be beaten to death. Instead, you blamed Goethe and demanded that Goethe take on the responsibility of inadequate supervision and protection.
The only concession that could be made was to allow Miss Lily, who maintained a good friendship and relationship with Goethe, to join Goethe’s investigation team as an observer. This was Goethe’s greatest sincerity.
In short, no matter how many suggestions he made, there was only one reply.
The dignity of a country could not be traded, and the issue of sovereignty could not be negotiated.
“The dragons must be furious.”
There was a map in front of Kant. It was already afternoon. Thanks to the super-long-distance communication technique, Goethe’s side could communicate with Dragon Island in real time.
According to Lily, the dragon council was still making a scene. The trolls of the dragons were real trolls. When the mortals cursed, their saliva flew everywhere. When the dragons cursed, their dragon breath shot everywhere. The scene was very explosive.
Kant took the opportunity to flip through the map, browse through the reports, and make preparations.
Compared to the dragon elders who wanted to take the opportunity to expand their influence and regain the dream of the old overlord, the Dragon Emperor was at least pragmatic. He revealed the general location of the missing dragon diplomatic mission through private channels. Tina circled it in red ink, which was the Blue Wave Province on the west coast of Goethe.
The territory that the dragons entered was the headland that extended from the province to the Endless Sea.
It was called Qilin Horn.
This name originated from many years ago, during the era of ocean exploration, when the Aurora Fleet sailed over, starting the communication and friendship between Goethe and Aurora. On that day, local fishermen saw the Aurora Fleet’s sails and the Kirin pattern fluttering on the flag.
In order to commemorate this first encounter, this place had been named until today.
The place had become a famous tourist attraction. Many stories had happened since then. There were many legends and stories about it. Kant wanted to know if there was anything special about the place.
Her soft and warm fingers held onto his shoulder, and a familiar fragrance entered his nostrils. Tina’s voice sounded,” The order has been issued. The governor of the Blue Wave Province has already sent troops to seal off the nearby area and is carefully investigating the clues. We have already emphasized the seriousness of the situation. To be able to destroy a dragon formation in a short period of time, such a force is not something that the Blue Wave Province can contend with after the war.”
“They know what’s important and won’t do anything stupid,” she said softly.
Kant nodded.
” In addition, the investigation team has been recruited and formed. A team including Secrets Mages, Battle Mages, Divine Sun Priests, explorers, naturalists, and alchemists will provide you with all-round combat support and consulting services. Second Brother’s Gladiolus Legion will transfer an elite ranger to protect them.”
” I will be personally responsible for the logistics.”
From the corner of her eyes, she saw the golden waterfall falling down, and then her back was surrounded by warmth. Tina hugged him gently from behind and said softly,” We’ll have to separate for a while this time.”
This time, the matter was urgent and dangerous. They might have to face the mysterious enemy who destroyed an entire dragon formation. Under such circumstances, Tina could not be a burden.
His cheeks softened. Tina’s side profile leaned in. Kant gently rubbed against the princess’s smooth face.” It won’t take long. I’ll be back when I’m done.”
“Yes.”
Tina pulled out the necklace from her collar. It was a magical item from Aurora, Eternal Peace Protection.
The dazzling pendant shone with waves of ripples.
It echoed with the Chang ‘an Overwatch worn by Kant.
” Our hearts are connected. No matter when, no matter where, Kant, as long as you want it, as long as I want it, we will appear where we are. No one is far away.”
The princess’s murmuring was like a gentle oar, entering Kant’s heart.
The girl whispered in his ear,”We have to be apart for a while.” Do you want to make up for it in advance?”
Kant was stunned at first, then his heart began to beat wildly.
Her face quickly heated up.
His body felt numb and trembling.
Make up… What?
Tina’s gentle breath caressed his face, warm and fragrant.
He swallowed his saliva, and then…
“-what are you doing here?”
Ah Xing’s shout suddenly sounded from outside.
Tina instantly stood up straight while Kant tried his best to lay flat.
The next moment, Ah Xing pushed open the door. Lily was standing beside him. Long Niang glanced over with lightning-fast eyes and saw Princess Tina standing behind Kant instead of disappearing under the table. Disappointment flashed in her eyes.
“What happened to Ah Xing?” Kant asked.
“She was standing at the door just now. I don’t know what she’s doing!” Ah Xing said.
Princess Goethe and the Fuma understood almost at the same time. They glared at Long Niang. Lily’s expression remained unchanged as she said calmly,” I’m sorry. I was in a state of extreme fear and unease just now. I didn’t know how to inform you of the Dragon Tribe’s response. Ah, Your Highness Kant, the thought of you venting your anger on me because of the Dragon Tribe’s decision and actions makes my heart ache as if it was broken.”
Bullshit! You were clearly eavesdropping!
Is my first motive for modernizing the Maple Leaf Palace to prevent the prying and eavesdropping of certain sultry dragons? It was ridiculous to install a full set of power lines and monitoring equipment for this!
Kant stared at him coldly.
Long Niang subconsciously hid the book in her hand behind her.
“.. Forget it.” Kant shook his head.” What news?”
Lily replied,” The Dragon Island has compromised in disguise. But their patience and self-esteem have reached a critical point. The Dragon Emperor has issued an ultimatum to Goethe on behalf of the parliament.”
” Six days. There are still six days until the Dragonfire Soul Lamp is completely extinguished. Out of respect for the Forbidden Spell Mages, the dragons have decided not to step into Goethe’s territory for the time being. However, the powerful dragon army will be stationed on Tarak Island outside Goethe’s sea area. Goethe will be given six days to investigate the cause and effect and arrest the murderer…”
“Only six days.”
She said,”If there is no result after six days…” You know what will happen.”
Six days.
Six days!
What the hell! Six days?
You actually gave me six days in the Other World and thirty to forty days on Earth to purchase and deploy an air defense base, and even told me where the air force was stationed?
Dragon Emperor, are you Duke Song Xiang of the Other World?
Kant almost burst out laughing. However, he managed to hold it in. He pleaded humbly,” Six days is too short. Why don’t you give me a month?”
Long Niang shook her head.” It’s useless for you to tell me this. This is already the best outcome. It’s not easy to make those old dragons pinch their noses and admit defeat…” If you hadn’t taken down the Phoenix King, I’m afraid that it wouldn’t even have taken six days. Perhaps the war would have already begun.”
What do you mean I took down the Phoenix King?
Kant felt guilty and wanted to retort, but Tina subconsciously tightened her grip on his shoulder. She then calmly said,” Your Highness Lily, no one wanted things to develop to this point. You sacrificed your reputation and many things when Kant needed help. You made an oath with him and helped him a lot. I’m extremely grateful for that.”
” By helping him, you are helping Goethe. We are willing to repay you, but we cannot sacrifice the dignity of our country. Other than that, we will do our best…Please join forces with Kant and do your best to solve this problem. For yourself and for your people.”
” Don’t be nervous,” Lily said.” I have no physical interest in humans. You should focus your attention and guard against this idiot and that pointy-eared guy.”
She pointed at Ah Xing.
“Yeah, yeah!” Ah Xing shouted. I’m your right… No! Who’s the idiot!”
Kant felt that he could not allow the situation to continue developing.
The Phoenix King had spoken up for Goethe when the dragons were threatening him. This matter had spread in a small circle, and it had naturally evolved into a powerful proof of gossip.
After all, people were just so bored. They liked to attribute everything to gossip between men and women.
He stood up and interrupted the gorilla’s noise. He said to Lily,”Anyway, this time, you, the gorilla, and I will act together.” This is our first official cooperation. I hope you’ll have a pleasant time.”
Lily looked at his outstretched hand, her eyes dazed.
Back then, that irresponsible fellow was cheated away by the previous Fire Stealer in this way?
And now…
After being stunned for a moment, the corners of Long Niang’s mouth curled into a smile. It was self-deprecating and firm.
Hadn’t he already made his decision?
Even if you were already dead and couldn’t even find your burial place.
At least I can walk down your path once.
She held Kant’s hand.
“Happy cooperation.”
” Let’s work together!” Ah Xing grabbed Kant’s other hand and shook it vigorously.” Let’s work together!”
“I think I can appear now.”
A familiar voice rang out from the door. Kant, who had fallen into the strange atmosphere of girls secretly competing against each other, smiled in surprise. He broke free from the hands of Gorilla and Lily without a trace and walked over with a smile.
“You’re finally willing to show up. I came back too late last night and was about to look for you today, but I ran into trouble again…I was just about to discuss it with you.”
“This subject has also heard.” Hong San bowed and said,” Two days ago, I heard that Your Highness was busy with work, so you gathered the Goethe sages to discuss the silver-gray locusts. The situation was urgent, and I’ve never heard of this insect before. I couldn’t share Your Highness ‘worries, and Your Highness didn’t summon me, so I didn’t come over to be an eyesore…”
“Go, go, go.” Kant pushed his shoulder.” Then why are you here again?”
” Your Highness, I’ve been building your personal guards according to the plan I discussed with Your Highness. I’ve already seen some results. After all, when I was in Valentan, I’ve already started to select and train them. However, you know that the best training is still on the battlefield.”
Hong San bowed.” I heard that Goethe is already organizing support teams and accompanying troops. Please let us join this team. The Valentans and Orcs are eager to serve you.”
Kant’s smile faded. He frowned.” This is not a regular battle. It’s even…”
To be able to quickly and silently kill a large number of dragons in Goethe’s territory, it was definitely not a large-scale army battle. There should only be a small number of strong people or unknown mysterious forces. In the most extreme scenario, there was only one enemy…Ordinary people could not participate in such a battle.
“This subject understands. This subject has also explained this logic to everyone. However, this is the reason why they follow you…We only care about where your enemy is.”
“Since the Swordlan Legion can go, we can go too,” said Hong San.
Kant frowned and pondered for a long time. In the end, he nodded.” Alright. You guys move together with the Gladiolus Legion. Don’t fall behind.” We can test our plan in actual combat.”
Someone had to fire the Shilka River anti-aircraft cannon… It wasn’t a good idea to keep using puppets.
Perhaps it was time to give them some more explosive equipment.
Around evening, all the personnel were recruited and all the materials were ready. The vanguard had already set off, and the follow-up investigation team was light and simple. They set off for the Blue Wave Province with all their might.
Along the way, the cities and fortresses sent troops to receive them, and the elven armies stationed in various places also sent out rangers. It was said that the elven fleet of the Blue Wave Province set sail again and began to patrol the west coast, especially around the Qilin’s Horn area. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like they were going to help.
That’s right, of course it was a favor.
In the previous negotiations and negotiations, the Phoenix King had made such a suggestion. He suggested that the elven expeditionary forces stationed in Goethe’s territory participate in the patrol and intelligence search.
After being flatly rejected by Goethe, the empress said lightly,”
“If we don’t let the elves help, we have nothing to do, so we can only cause trouble.”
In the end, he could only agree.
The price was that everyone looked at Kant strangely.
In short, under the careful escort and escort of the entire line, the investigation team that received full protection and support saw the long coastline of the Blue Wave Province when the sun rose.
The next step was to investigate what had happened to the dragons.
P.S. 1: I went to the basement to get a bucket of water today. It was the first time I went out in two months…(Distant)
