Chapter 377 Nightmare
"I disagree!"
At this moment, the head of the Lawrence family, who was sitting quietly in his seat, spoke.
"..."
Hearing his voice, everyone fell into silence.
"reason."
An elder of the Lawrence family asked.
"If a similar plan is implemented again, the final result will be completely different from the past."
"The Great Supreme of the Seas has set up a system to monitor everything. No matter how careful our plan is, there will always be flaws."
"Perhaps His Majesty has learned everything we have done."
"But the mistakes have been made and we can't go back."
The clan elder who had just spoken continued.
"Our cooperation with that villain has come to an end. Do we have any way out?"
"Don't forget, the dragon that killed Ciel's parents died at the hands of the goddess of hunting."
(The goddess of hunting, Amos, was also the wife of Diocletian)
"I believe none of you want to face the arrow that pierces the sky, right?"
"Ask yourselves, if you were to face that arrow, what would be your chances of survival?"
The words spoken by this clan elder once again caused everyone to fall into silence.
Including Lawrence, who was opposed to the plan.
"Huh..." The head of Lawrence's family took a deep breath, "If the plan is exposed, how should we deal with it?"
"In order to seek more benefits, we murdered our former allies and led to the destruction of the Imonroka family. All of us who participated in this sin are responsible."
"Then let us bear the consequences."
An influential elder of the clan spoke up.
"If it is impossible to do anything in the end, then we sinners should be removed from the Lawrence family tree."
"Without the Lawrence family name, we will not bring shame to the Lawrence family."
"...You really dare to gamble." The patriarch of the Lawrence family sighed, "In that case, I will gamble with you."
"No matter what, I was one of the culprits in that incident."
"I personally buried the Rands' deaths."
"What's your crime?" The elder Lawrence, who had just said he wanted to remove his clan name, said with a smile, "The current base of the Katzlein family was driven to Qingquan Town by me. What do your sins count for?"
"I am the real unforgivable criminal."
"So, put all the blame on me."
"As for you..."
As he finished speaking, two figures suddenly stood up, came to the side of the Lawrence family patriarch, and took him away.
"It's better to be a clan leader who has been stripped of his power and knows nothing!"
……
"Huh...huh..."
The small figure kept fleeing into the distance, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing him.
Ouch! ! !
That's a roaring giant dragon!
The huge figure, one hundred meters tall, seems as majestic as a mountain.
Every move caused the earth to tremble, storms to blow, and smoke and dust to fill the sky!
Its mouth opened wide, and the smell of sulfur filled the air.
Then, a violent black flame burned the two figures in light armor into ashes.
The steel turned into molten iron under the pitch-black flames. The familiar figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the last words.
"Charles, run..."
"Child, run..."
The voices of the past lingered in his ears. He knew what had happened, but there was nothing he could do.
On one side is a fleeing boy, and on the other side is a knight raising his weapon to attack the dragon.
The knights shouted old slogans and launched a desperate attack on the dragon.
It's just that the flames were too hot, and these knights were weak to fire.
It all happened so suddenly that even the gods watching over the earth were too late to rescue.
As the arrow streaked across the sky, the falling colorful light engulfed everything.
The blazing light shot up into the sky. The huge dragon was unable to resist the power of the light and eventually turned into dust. The knights who resisted the dragon were all killed during the resistance.
“Hoo! Hoo…Hoo…”
Charles suddenly woke up from a nightmare, sweat of fear running down his temples, and he looked at his hands in confusion.
"woke up?"
A cold but slightly arrogant voice sounded, and Charles looked in the direction where the voice came from.
It was Eula. At this moment, she was folding her arms and looking at Charles with disgust.
This action made her already majestic breasts even more prominent.
"You are already so old..."
"He was still calling for his mother in his dream!"
As she said these words, Eula gritted her teeth and looked at Ciel as if she wanted to eat her.
Under normal circumstances, Eula would not speak to Ciel like this.
It's just that when Charles was calling for his mother just now, he was crawling into her arms...
This made her a little unbearable.
What's worse is that she almost pushed him away!
This really pissed Eula off...
"What happened just now?" Ying squatted down and looked at Charles, who was lying on the ground with sweat all over his forehead. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"..." Charles turned his head away and said nothing.
"So, he is just a child after all." At this time, Wendy suddenly spoke out, attracting everyone's attention.
"Sometimes, when children are hurt or wronged, they always feel that no one can help them, and then they isolate themselves silently."
After listening to what Wendy said, everyone turned their attention to Charles again.
For some reason, they seemed to vaguely see a thin and frail figure in Charles.
As if he understood something, Kong sighed and pulled the confused Ying away.
And Eula frowned slightly, and also left here with Kong and Ying.
On the contrary, it was Funina...
Well, Funina can do whatever she wants. Even if she says "I don't eat beef" in front of everyone, people will have to choose to obey her opinion.
After all, no one present was qualified or capable of controlling her.
unless……
"Funina, why did everyone leave?" Paimon asked in a low voice to Funina, who was also staying there without moving.
"Because they know that what is going to be said next is not suitable for them to hear." Finina thought for a moment and answered aloud.
"They can't listen to what I say next..." Paimon thought for a moment, looked at himself, and then looked at Funina, "Then if we don't leave, does that mean we can listen?"
However, when Paimon had just finished saying this, Kong came up to her with a frown on his face, then reached out his hand, grabbed her little feet, picked her up, and took her away.
"Paimon, let's go."
"Eh eh eh..."
Amid Paimon's exclamation, Kong took her away.
Looking at this scene, Finina smiled, then she put her hands on her cheeks, sat on the bubbles spit out by Lord Uther, and watched with great interest what was going to happen next.
She came out to travel, and she can travel however she wants.
So there's no problem in listening to a secret or something.
Ding~ding~ding~
The sound of the harp slowly began to sound, and Wendy's voice became extremely gentle.
"Next, can you tell me...your story?"
"Charles Katzlein."
The cyan light enveloped the small area. Feeling the warm light, Charles was in a trance and slowly recounted the sufferings of the past.
At the same time, as the beautiful rhythm sounded, the wind carried it far away, and then a dragon sleeping above the clouds in the sky heard the sound of the music.
"It's Wendy..."
Tevarin, the Dragon of the East Wind, suddenly woke up from his sleep. He looked at the land below and seemed to see the little man playing the harp through many obstacles.
"Really... why is he playing music by himself... without even waiting for me?"
He complained like this, then turned into a ray of divine light and flew towards the location of the little man playing music below.
As time passed, Charles told Wendy about the past in the light and warmth.
At the beginning, Wendy frowned slightly, until he heard about the dragon attack, he fell into deep thought.
If he remembered correctly, a few years ago, Tevarin seemed to have said that some strange guys appeared in the Northern Territory.
At that time, Tevarin was about to suppress the abnormality, but he was a little too late. The arrow of the goddess of hunting was faster than him...
"Could it be that the anomaly that time was the magic dragon?"
"A pitch-black aura... could it be the abyss?"
Wendy recalled her past memories and vaguely remembered that the power of the abyss seemed to be dominated by that old friend.
But later, the power that allowed all living beings in the mortal world to open up a secret space to study the power of the abyss...
"Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the Northern Territory?"
"No! Impossible! If he was really dissatisfied with the Northern Territory, how could he use such a crude method? Moreover, he is even willing to let his own daughter live in the Northern Territory."
"That is to say, someone has stolen the power of the abyss and wants to use it to achieve some untold purpose..."
Wendy's brows were furrowed more and more, and she fell into deep thought. Even the movement of playing the harp in her hands became much slower.
The beautiful melody slowly faded away, and Charles gradually regained his composure.
His eyes were slightly deep as he looked deeply at Wendy.
From what happened just now, it can be seen that the person in front of me seems a little strange...
His strength is very strong and it is difficult to figure out his exact level, but at a glance, it is clear that he is not someone I can defeat.
"You are..." Charles was about to ask, but seemed to have thought of something and fell silent again.
Regarding an unknown existence like this, perhaps His Majesty the God of Wind has already known something about it, but for some special reasons, he has acknowledged its existence.
Just as Wendy and Charles were both lost in thought, a dragon roar that shook the sky echoed in the area.
The east wind is howling and the clouds are rolling.
A giant blue dragon descended from the sky, its huge body seemed to crush the earth together!
However, as it got closer to the earth, the dragon's body slowly shrank, from a giant body that covered the sky and the sun, to a small dragon body of more than ten meters.
"Wendy!"
"Why didn't you call me when you sang?"
As soon as the dragon appeared, the first thing it did was to ask the bard playing the music why he didn't call him.
At the same time, his appearance caused the expressions of everyone below to change.
Ciel looked at the giant green dragon in astonishment.
The giant dragon in front of him was very familiar. He had met it once when he became the leader of the Knights of the East Wind.
If you want to become the leader of the East Wind Knights, you must get the recognition of the East Wind Dragon.
Without the approval of the East Wind Dragon, the power of the East Wind cannot be used.
The power of East Wind is an effective proof of the combat capability of the leader of the East Wind Knights. It can greatly improve their combat capability in a short period of time. The specific improvement depends on the strength of the East Wind Dragon itself and the user's tolerance.
On the other side, Sora and Eula, who were away from Venti, looked at the giant dragon falling from the sky in confusion.
It was okay for Kong, as he had seen it when he first met Wendy.
But Eula...
She is different. In her memory, Tevarin, the power of the east wind, is an existence that only belongs to legend.
"Dragon of the East Wind..."
"How come he suddenly appeared here...wait, what did he just say..."
As if she had thought of something, Eula looked at Kong with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Then her mind went into a state of shutdown.
There is too much information, and her IQ is not very high, so she needs some time to sort it out.
"Guardian of the East Wind..." Charles slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the giant dragon sticking to the bard, complaining non-stop.
"It's really... unexpected."
With a slightly wry smile on his face, he took a deep breath and bowed to Tevarin.
"Charles Ketzlain, the current leader of the East Wind Knights, greets His Excellency the Guardian of the East Wind."
"Huh?" After hearing Charles' voice, Tevarin realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.
His eyes widened as he looked Charles up and down, as if he was reading through his thousands of years of experience.
"Oh~~~~"
As if he remembered something, Tevarin's eyes revealed a hint of sudden enlightenment, and he looked at Charles with a hint of surprise.
"It's you, the cat-eared boy from the Katzlein family."
"I saw you three years ago. At that time, I knocked you to the ground with one of my wings."
"But your will is worthy of recognition. I have recognized it and have granted you the power of the east wind."
Hearing Tevarin talking about these dark histories, Charles showed an awkward but polite smile on his face.
There's no other way. I can't beat him, and I owe him a favor, so this is the only way.
After all, if it weren't for the help of the east wind, he would have died in some unknown corner due to some of the events he had experienced over the years.
"Lord Tevarin, what are you doing..."
Ciel carefully chose his words, as if to ask Tevarin why he suddenly appeared here.
If he remembered correctly, the guardian of the east wind had always lived in the Cloud Palace in the sky.
The Cloud Palace was the residence created by the wind god Diocletian for the East Wind Dragon.
"The wind brought the voice of an old friend, so I followed the voice and came here."
Tevarin grinned and answered the Ciel's question.
"Wendy, come to think of it, why are you playing the Requiem all of a sudden?"
As if remembering something, Tevarin asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Requiem..."
Hearing these three words, Charles was a little dazed, and then he looked at Wendy with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"The deceased should rest in peace." Wendy shook her head gently and said in a complicated tone.
"..." Noticing Wendy's abnormality, Tevarin was a little confused, "Wendy, what's wrong with you?"
"I plan to go see him," Wendy said calmly.
"Who?" Tevarin asked curiously, while Charles beside him also pricked up his ears to listen.
"God of Wind." Wendy said seriously.
