Chapter 74
"I...I?" Raymond pointed at himself in disbelief. Did he hear it wrong? !
Being called out by Winters, who never even looked at him, Raymond had only one thought in his mind: he was going to take me to a deserted place and kill me!
After two dry laughs, he asked tentatively: "Is there anything I can help you with?" At the same time, Raymond quickly recalled in his mind whether he had ever offended that brat Winster.
Samuel ignored him. Al was briefly confused and probably guessed the reason. It must be related to Raymond's identity...
His Royal Highness the Holy Son showed a gentle smile of a superior caring for his subordinates: "Winster's hometown is the same place as yours. You should come with us and go back to visit your parents."
Haha, what a hell of a place.
Raymond mocked in his heart, but he politely declined the invitation: "Your Highness, please allow me to decline your kindness, because I would rather stay and try to contract this dragon. If I succeed, I will ride it home. I believe my parents will be proud of me. Besides, there are too few knights around you. I want to get a strong helper so that I can better protect you in the future."
The Son of God always respected the wishes of those around him, but this time he was a little tough. "Winster needs you to find out some things for him in his hometown. I can only trouble Raymond. Anyway, it's very close. We just passed by a few days ago. If things are done earlier, you still have a chance to make a contract with the dragon."
Raymond frowned. What do you mean he passed by here a few days ago? His fake hometown is completely different from here! Just as he was about to retort, Raymond saw the corners of the Son's lips flattened - when he didn't smile, that delicate face would look very distant.
The other party's indifference calmed Raymond down, and he suddenly realized that this human was unexpectedly right. He did pass by his hometown a few days ago...
Raymond was a little panicked, especially when the Son of God stared at him with eyes that seemed like a silent threat. He could only grit his teeth and agree. Then, when Al turned around with satisfaction to instruct Yarlin, he glared at Winster fiercely.
Samuel, who was eating breakfast leisurely, lazily raised his eyelids to meet his gaze. Raymond's body sensed the danger earlier than his brain, and he tensed up instantly. At the same time, his back felt cold. He forced out a smile almost reflexively, trying to make amends.
After being tough with Raymond, the young man turned around and spoke to his real knight, and he seemed much gentler. "You will escort Bauman to Rusa City and hand him over to the City Lord's Mansion for disposal. In addition, send a letter back to the Bishop's Court..."
Then he mentioned a few things that the knight needed to do alone. Considering that he was sharp-minded and might suspect that he was being excluded, Al said sincerely: "Yarlin, you are the knight I trust the most. I feel relieved to leave these things to you."
Yaerlin nodded, a rare smile on his cold and handsome face: "I will arrange everything, Your Highness can always trust me."
Raymond: “…”
He finally realized that he had no status in the heart of this Holy Son, and his mood at this moment was indescribable.
Yaerlin didn't feel that he was excluded from the team. Didn't he see that His Highness's friends were also left behind? Besides, he knew that Raymond's identity was questionable. His Highness took him away, and he must have hoped that the one who stayed behind to contract with the dragon was one of his own.
Al took out a bag of gold coins and handed him the money for his subordinate's business trip. The magic dragon, who had been squatting quietly beside him for a while, sniffed - Longlong smelled a glittering scent!
Yaerlin took the big black cloth bag, and then a big head came next to him, blowing his hair into a mess with its breath. His Royal Highness the Son of God who was standing opposite him was also greatly affected.
The dragon's claws were eager to try, but because this was something the beautiful two-legged beast had brought out, it didn't dare to move. It just howled at Al twice: "Boss, do you think the glitter is too heavy? Longlong will help you carry it!"
Elphis covered his shocked ears, looked with disdain at the dragon that was lying like a big dog and had no racial dignity at all, then threw a jewel bracelet that he was going to give as a gift onto the dragon's finger, pointed in a random direction, and motioned it to go play aside.
But the dragon was not stupid and actually followed his instructions and walked away.
Auston had already half given up. He sat casually on a rock and said, "Even if you don't sign a contract with it, it will still listen to you. Just take it away. It's better than letting someone else take it later."
Al shook his head. "It's very likely that you can trick such a stupid dragon. I look forward to seeing one of you taming it the next time we meet."
His Royal Highness the Prince was silent. He still felt that it was more likely that he was robbed by the dragon and then beaten for fun.
After filling his stomach, Al took some food and went to find the God of Magic, mainly to tell him about his departure.
Klevich closed the book and took the small plate. "I have met the dragon, which has made up for a regret in my life. I was originally planning to say goodbye to you young people, but Al got there first."
The smile on the young man's lips became a little stiff, and he began to worry that this person would continue to follow him.
Fortunately, the other party's next sentence was: "It was a pleasure talking to Al, but unfortunately I have some things to deal with and can't continue on the same journey with you."
Elphis breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged pleasantries with the big boss for a while. After he finished his food and saw him walk into the space crack with his own eyes, he smiled broadly and turned to look for Samuel who was already impatiently waiting - let's go, let's go to the legendary abyss to broaden our horizons!
Austin and Yarlin will stay for a while, and there is no need to worry that they will be tormented to death by the dragon. They will definitely have no shortage of offensive or life-saving magic scrolls.
The two of them, along with Raymond, who looked reluctant, returned the same way. They had not gone far when the dragon caught up with them. The beautiful two-legged beast with sparkling eyes called out softly: Boss, where are we going to play? (Starry Eyes Expecting.jpg)
Raymond curled his lips in disdain. He didn't want this dragon at all now. It had no courage at all and he couldn't expect it to have the power to easily destroy a city in the future.
"go back."
"Ahh~" Longlong didn't understand.
Al held his forehead helplessly. Magical beasts are all quite intelligent and can understand human speech after living with them for a long time. However, this dragon had just come into contact with humans and obviously could not do that. He planned to use magic to temporarily trap the dragon here.
The magic dragon lay down and pointed at its back with its front paws, "Awoo~" Your old legs are short and you walk slowly, let Longlong take you to fly!
Elphis couldn't bear to look at this dragon dog. Seeing that the dragon was clean all over and had a broad back, Samuel ended the confusion of the people around him and said, "Take it away." Perhaps because he liked the little cub's hair, he had more patience with this silver dragon and thought it was cuter than other magical beasts. So he just used it as a mount. It was more comfortable to sit on its back than to use magic tricks to speed up the journey.
Al was still struggling, "It's such a big one..." It would be inconvenient to go to crowded places afterwards.
Raymond finally found an opportunity to make a contribution: "Your Highness, I happen to have a magical potion that can shrink any living creature. If you want to shrink this dragon to the size of a fist, just drink more potion. Of course, it also comes with an antidote. If you need a lot in the future, I will contact my potion master friend to make more." Raymond had been a little uneasy just now, always feeling that these two people had brought him along for no good. He said this deliberately to show some of his value, hoping that they would not be too ruthless.
Al was familiar with the types of potions, especially those with special effects, but he had never heard of a shrinking potion... He glanced at Samuel and saw him nod, then he was sure that this thing was reliable.
"It's good to be able to handle it this way, thanks to Raymond."
At this time, Austin and the others also rushed over. They were relieved to know that their friend was finally willing to take the stupid dragon away. "Then we will leave too. This damn place is so hot."
——
Raymond watched them command the dragon to fly along the edge of the abyss, and his heart was about to jump out! He finally asked, "Your Highness, my hometown is in another direction. Did Winster miss it because he hasn't been back for too long?"
Then the Holy Son seemed to look at him with interest, then smiled and said, "No, I believe Winster will take us a shortcut."
Raymond laughed dryly, "Yes, is that so..."
His heart sank all the way, and then he saw Winster suddenly jump off the dragon's back. The Son of God quickly let the dragon land. When he saw where Winster was standing, or where he was observing, Raymond's heart no longer sank - because he was already dead:)
Al walked to Samuel and looked around curiously for a while. It seemed no different from the previous place. There was no grass above and thick black fog below. However, the black fog could not escape because the entrance and exit of the abyss, which stretched thousands of miles, had been sealed by the God of Light after the end of the War of Gods.
He threw a stone, but was blocked by an invisible barrier and couldn't fall. "Go in from here?"
Samuel explained: "The seal here is the weakest, so it takes the least time to open it."
After being taken to the secret passage of the Abyss Race, Raymond had been thinking about why he had aroused their suspicion. At this moment, he took a deep breath and widened his eyes: "You... want to enter the Abyss?!"
"You, we are human beings! If you enter a place like this, you will surely die! Your Highness, His Holiness will be angry if you act so impulsively!"
However, the young man, who always had a proper and holy image, smiled particularly hatefully at this moment, "Aren't you happy to be taken back to your hometown?"
He turned to Samuel and asked, "What race is this? Why are they not hospitable at all?"
In Raymond's eyes, the man who seemed particularly cold all the way answered all the questions of the Son of God. He glanced at Raymond and opened his thin lips slightly, "Devil, you are not yet an adult, so you are indeed a little immature."
Al stared at Raymond's fierce face and burly figure, still trying to digest the fact that the other party was not yet an adult, and Raymond was so shocked that he was speechless - how on earth did Winster know his race!
Samuel brought this demon along with him, not out of kindness to send him home...
In the blink of an eye, a black blade slashed across Raymond's neck at lightning speed. Because it was close and the attack was sudden, Raymond only had time to shift his body a little bit, but he didn't avoid it completely.
Samuel didn't care whether he was dead or not. With a flick of his fingertips, the blood of the abyss monster turned into a long stream that wrapped around his wrist and became the paint to draw the "door".
Raymond had already run away, but he didn't dare to run too far. After all, these two arrogant humans were going to his hometown! What if they had some big conspiracy? No, he had to follow them in, damn! He might as well just expose their identities and let these two die down there!
Hmm? Wait, Raymond realized something... Did Winster just use the dark element creation? Is he drawing a magic circle now!!!
"Ah~" The dragon thought the dark place next to it was ugly, so it moved its big head close to the beautiful two-legged beast and stared into his clear deep blue eyes with pleasure.
Al finally remembered that there was still a clingy person who needed to be dealt with, so he asked Raymond for a shrinking potion from a distance. In return, he healed the wound on his neck that was still bleeding, and then checked with him with a complicated expression: "How old are you?"
After his identity was exposed, Raymond no longer had to pretend to be respectful. He raised his head and said, "One hundred and twenty years old." The demons only grow horns and wings at the age of two hundred. He is so young, but he has such strength and can even infiltrate the Bishop's Court. He is simply the best cub in the abyss!
Al pursed his lips and remained silent for a long, long time...
When the dragon became the size of a palm, Al held it in his hand and fed it jerky. The frightened dragon soon noticed that the gem chain that was so small that it could only fit on its finger had become bigger! It could be hung around its neck! The food also became bigger, so it could eat more! Great!
“Aoaoao!” The boss is so nice, his paws are so white and soft!
Al's hands were teasing the little dragon, but his eyes were looking at the bloody magic circle. Samuel was drawing and writing something at a very fast speed. The patterns became more and more complex and profound. Soon, the silver-haired young man turned his eyes away. It was nothing. He would never be able to learn these in his lifetime.
Circular patterns covered the transparent seal. Samuel grabbed the cub's wrist and said, "Jump."
Although he had been looking forward to seeing what the abyss looked like, he was somewhat nervous to jump directly into this bottomless place. It was also not convenient to use light magic to fly down… Al did not hesitate when he jumped, but he just held Samuel's collar tightly with both hands. Samuel chuckled, as if mocking his cowardice, but still hugged his waist considerately.
Raymond naturally followed him down.
Al had already adapted to the intense feeling of weightlessness, and when his feet finally touched solid ground, it felt unreal.
The silver-haired young man, whose appearance was so holy that it didn't fit in with this place, looked around and exclaimed, "This is the abyss... The scenery is very unique, it's definitely worth coming here."
Raymond, who landed later, just happened to hear this sigh. He looked at the two people who were still hugging each other and obviously had an improper relationship. His expression and mood were hard to describe: two mages of light and darkness who were supposed to be enemies were hanging out together, forcing their way into the abyss to travel and sightsee, and they didn't even know how to hide. What kind of weird things are you!!!
