The Prince of Levitra (2)
Elena and Emperor Mackay Olyn approached the cage.
“Ahhhhhhhh!” the people inside began to bang on the railings frantically.
Romero was standing a little further away, but he could still see the man's appearance.
A woman between a girl and an adult, judging from her facial features, she should be considered beautiful, but her beastly costume was mostly torn, her black hair was tangled, her skin was covered with wounds and dust, and she looked no different from a beggar.
The way she bared her teeth and howled made her look more like a beast than a savage.
The emperor took a look and asked, "Barbarians?"
Elena kicked the ice crystals on the railing and broke them into pieces. "Watch."
The woman in the cage gritted her teeth and gripped the iron rod again. The ice flowers formed from her hands and spread up and down in a disorderly and wanton manner.
Mackay Olin smiled: "Wow, a strange one."
Elena: "Yes, the user of ice. She doesn't seem to be very good at using her abilities."
Elena turned to the guard next to her and said, "Unlock them and let them go."
The knight was stunned for a moment and looked at the emperor hesitantly, but the emperor ignored him and turned his head away.
Elena raised her eyebrows: "What are you waiting for? Is there anything else that could happen to His Majesty and me here?"
One is the strongest eighth-level knight in Liweil, and the other is the youngest eighth-level knight in Liweil.
The knight was shocked and immediately agreed and opened the lock.
The moment the door opened, the woman in the cage took the opportunity to jump out.
The action was so fast that the level 6 knight had no time to react.
Her head and body slipped out from under the knight's armpits—and then she was pushed to the ground by Elena.
Elena grabbed her hair roughly and pulled her up, then punched her in the stomach.
Romero's jaw dropped.
It was a solid punch.
My stomach started to hurt after listening to this.
The woman frowned, curled up, and her face was filled with pain and anger.
Elena grinned and said, "Okay, stop pretending. I know you are dead."
The woman's eyes flashed, and just as she was about to open her mouth, she was thrown to the ground by Elena again, face down on the ground, and hit hard.
"pound!"
The sound is dull and solid.
Romero was startled and closed his eyes reflexively.
He suspected that the face would be destroyed.
He wanted to rewrite the evaluation he had just formed of his superior.
Add the modifier of "violence" on top.
There is no reason, just pure violence.
The emperor said slowly, "Is this what you brought from the north? Level 7, which is rare for this age."
Romero's eyes widened.
[Level 7 Knight? This woman who looks younger than the commander?]
Elena showed no mercy and pulled her face up again, asking in Zarambula: "Tell me, how did you get here?"
The woman's nose seemed to be broken, her face was covered in blood, she bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were wide open, and she seemed to have some reaction to the Zalambra language and opened her mouth to spat.
Elena dodged and quickly reached out to break one of her arms.
"Crack!" The crisp sound of a joint being dislocated.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" the woman screamed.
Romero was horrified.
The Emperor looked at them with interest. "Zalambura?"
Elena explained a few words: "No, I think it should be the alpine ice hunters from the northwest. She said a few words in Zalambula before, but I couldn't hear it clearly."
She held her head and asked expressionlessly: "Answer my questions carefully. If you don't, I will break your fingers and legs one by one."
The woman yelled: "You southern pig! You killed me!"
Romero's eyelids twitched.
Elena raised her eyebrows oddly: "I still can't hear clearly, is it a dialect? The accent is a bit strange."
It was in Zalambula but I couldn't understand it at all.
The woman continued to curse: "You dared to kill our entire family, why didn't you kill me?! Where is that man? The Knight of the North Wind! Get out of here! You killed me with the sword that killed my father!"
The emperor shook his head, obviously he didn't understand either.
Romero hesitated for a moment, then walked up and said, "Your Majesty, sir, this seems to be ancient Saran. Can I try it?"
Elena smiled and said, "Oh? Do you know what this is?"
Romero felt that her smile was as sharp as a knife, and he said carefully: "Old Saran is an ancient language. Modern Saranbura can be said to have evolved from this language. Only a little information is left. When I was a child, I met an old fisherman from the west side of Saranbura. He taught me a little. I... will give it a try..."
Elena used her knee to press the woman's waist just right, making her unable to move.
*“Hey, what’s your name?”
The woman stopped cursing when she heard the familiar but strange language. She looked at him warily for a while and said, "Can you speak Saran?"
Romero smiled and nodded: "Yes... yes. Don't be afraid, this is... not Zalambra..."
In vain the woman calmed down and stopped struggling.
Mackay Olin looked at the scene and smiled: "Well done."
Romero looked at Elena, who nodded and released his grip on her upper body, leaving only one foot on her left leg.
Romero looked a little annoyed, but continued with his task: "This is... Liweir... Do you know... where Liweir is?"
*“I don’t know.” The woman held up her upper body and trembled.
Romero stared at her, and for some reason his sympathy for her suddenly disappeared.
Those are the eyes of a predator.
The eyes of a predator that will bite its prey's neck if it sees an opportunity.
He got goosebumps all over his body.
*"So...what's your name...and why are you here?"
*"Veronica Mylan, I am the daughter of the leader of the **** tribe. Our ancestors ***** originally made an agreement with the royal family of Zalambra. In recent years, we have lived in our territory *****, and ***** they have no right to interfere. But those North Wind Knights broke in and killed my entire tribe."
He didn't understand some specific words, but he still understood the general meaning.
Romero was stunned.
The woman named Veronica shed tears, but her expression gave the sadness of her tears a layer of rage.
*"I would rather die by their swords! But my tribe, a wizard, sent me to another place, and I couldn't find the way back so I was caught by this woman! What on earth is this place!"
Romero conveyed these words to Elena and Emperor Mackaylin.
Mackay Olin thought thoughtfully, "That guy got to the west so quickly? I heard that the Ice Hunters were their ancestors, but they were wiped out without any hesitation."
Elena commented: "But it's unnecessary, it's a waste, and it's stupid."
The emperor praised: "You think the same as I do."
Romero had been following events closely and he knew what had happened in Zarambla a few months earlier.
The leaders of the new Zalambra regime are said to have launched a purge of unprecedented proportions.
But in his view, the so-called uprising for the people to remove a tyrant is just to create another tyrant. The problem lies not in the system itself, but in the people who formulate and control the system.
This is also the reason why he admired Emperor Li Wei so much.
Elena said to Romero, "Tell her to become my strength, and I will allow her to go back and kill the Knight of the North Wind, or die."
Romero wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tactfully relayed these words to Veronica.
Veronica stared at Elena and said, "If my people had died in battle, I wouldn't have cared, because dying in battle means they were too weak, but they were poisoned and killed without resistance. I also want them to die without dignity."
Romero: *"So... I understand that... you are willing to... surrender to Levi?"
Veronica pointed at Elena: *"I only recognize people who are stronger than me."
Romero smiled: "There are many knights in the Livil Empire who are stronger than you."
There was a stubborn light in Veronica's eyes.
Elena asked: "Is she scolding me?"
Romero: "...No, she said she only recognized people who were stronger than her."
Elena laughed: "This person is really interesting."
The emperor also laughed and said, "You always find strange people."
Elena waved her hand and said, "I'll leave this person to you. You are responsible for teaching her language, common sense and etiquette, with Levi's being the first priority."
Romero: “…………”
He froze, looking at Veronica blankly.
[How is this different from teaching a wild man who was raised by a she-wolf to speak? ]
But he did not forget his previous promise, and agreed with a toothache.
Romero carefully helped Veronica up, and he was careful about himself.
It seemed that Elena's violent intimidation had worked. Veronica wiped the blood and dust off her face and stopped running away.
Romero asked the knight and the maid to take her to clean and treat her.
Before leaving, Romero whispered to her: *"You should know... it's not wise to run away now... the palace is huge... there's a high chance you'll be... shot. Don't act rashly, and they won't hurt you."
Veronica glanced at him and walked away with a cold face, although that face didn't look very powerful now.
After doing all this, he immediately caught up with Elena and the emperor, and the father and daughter walked and chatted in the garden.
The emperor asked, "Have you seen the dragon egg?"
Elena said nonchalantly: "Not interested."
Romero followed closely behind, secretly frightened.
There are only about twenty adult dragons available for combat in Livil today, and each one is extremely valuable. Wyvern eggs are even more scarce than adult dragons.
A dragon can live for more than 500 years, but it may not lay a single egg in its lifetime. Compared to its long lifespan and powerful abilities, the birth of a dragon is extremely difficult.
The tradition of the modern royal family of Levitra is to let the heirs cultivate feelings with dragons from an early age, so that the dragons can become their loyal partners.
Elena was picked up halfway. What the emperor meant was that he had given her the dragon egg, but she didn't want it.
Elena bluntly pointed the finger at him: "You might as well have given it to me nine years ago. You didn't really believe me then, did you?"
Mackay Olin rubbed his chin and smiled: "I don't deny it, but it's not too late now."
Elena looked at it with disdain: "Even if you gave it to me nine years ago, I wouldn't want it. What will it become after ten years? It's still a dragon cub. It's useless at all."
Mackay Olin asked without any anger, "Adult dragons already have partners. If you don't have a dragon at the royal succession ceremony, no one will recognize you."
"I have a dragon I want to take with me."
"oh?"
"I'm going to take a trip to the Great Dragon Canyon."
Romero gasped.
Mackay Olin laughed heartily. "Okay! If you can bring back an adult dragon, I'll give it to you as a gift."
Romero guessed what "that" was referring to.
Elena was not humble at all. She raised her lips and said, "Who else can you give it to besides me?"
"Hahaha!" Mackay Olin laughed, "Sure enough, you are the one who is most like me!"
Elena raised her eyebrows: "You old shameless man, you really know how to flatter yourself. I am much prettier than you."
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Romero felt that every step he took was difficult, but he thought he had guessed what "that" was.
That’s why it’s even more shocking.
No matter what others speculated, it now seemed that the Emperor of Liweier had intended from the beginning to hand over the country to his adopted daughter.
The relationship between them was far deeper than that between the emperor and his own children. The rumors were indeed not credible.
As for Elena, whom he saw with his own eyes, what she showed made Romero feel a little worried about the future of this country.
The capital of the Livil Empire, Dakon, is located on the east side of the Great Dragon Canyon.
Dakhong, in the ancient Livil language, means the place where flying dragons are born.
The Livil Empire was founded because of dragons and became strong because of dragons.
But many years ago, the relationship between dragons and humans in this land was one of life and death.
At that time, there was no unified country in the western half of the Onerola continent.
The Levi people who live near the Great Dragon Canyon have been fighting bloody battles with the ferocious dragons for generations.
Until one day, a man appeared and changed the scene. He used a special ability to subdue the dragon.
Hundreds and thousands of dragons submitted to him, and no one knew how he did it.
The proud and powerful dragon thus became a slave of the Levi people.
They relied on flying dragons to sweep across the western half of the continent and established a prosperous country.
But they failed to conquer a similarly rising state to the east called Cune.
In the war between humans and dragons, humans turned the tables and became their heroic kings.
Before that, the Levi people hated dragons to their core, and after that, their enslavement and torture of dragons was outrageous.
They feared the power of the dragons, but at the same time they exploited them mercilessly.
However, the good times did not last long. The heroic king who enslaved the dragons lived for nearly two hundred years. When he was dying, people finally realized that the dragons were about to escape from their control.
Thanks to their efforts, dragons, which were already extremely rare compared to humans, are now few and far between.
They relied on the power of the flying dragon, but were so scared that they wanted to wipe out the dragon clan.
At this time, another man appeared. He had no special abilities. As a knight he was even very weak. He was not a wizard either. However, he tamed a dragon without relying on any special abilities. That dragon later became the Dragon King of that time.
The relationship between him and the dragon is not that of master and slave, but that of a family.
He brought a group of like-minded people to overthrow the dynasty established by his grandfather and created a new Liberian.
From then on, after several generations, flying dragons became the beings that the Levi people revered, protected, and relied on.
After an era when dragons were regarded as monsters and disasters and hunted at will, the Great Dragon Canyon was left by the Levi's people. It is the only place on this continent where dragons gather and survive.
It is a deep canyon on the northwest side of Levitra that is 1,000 miles long (1,000 miles ≈ about 3,000 kilometers).
Elena was standing on a flying dragon at the moment, overlooking the panoramic view of the deep and long canyon. The rugged cracks that stretched endlessly to the horizon made her heart beat faster.
She lifted her hair and felt the west wind.
The wind that was as sharp as a knife to ordinary people seemed very kind to her.
"Elena, hold on tight, we're going down!"
"Walk!"
