Chapter 289: face

The dragon knights couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Irene returning alone with the dragon. This is the best result, no matter what price she has paid, it is all worth it.
Dragon! This familiar and unfamiliar name brought together a few half-dead old guys, trying to remember whether they heard or saw similar records somewhere, or why they would feel familiar when they first saw it. Compared with this cute behavior of rummaging through piles of old papers, a more realistic and urgent problem seems a bit cruel.
Before returning to the residence, Irene was called to the chamber. A group of people have been waiting there, including her father. Looking at his father's gloomy face, he knew that things were not so good.
In the square outside the chamber, Maya looked around vigilantly, twitching her nose from time to time. The magic here is jerky, unpleasant, and very thin.
Where is that boy? Where is another girl? Why are they not here? Maya started thinking wildly in disappointment. Although the people around him made him feel familiar, he didn't want to stay with this group of weak guys. However, it also knows that the situation is better than people, and it can only be wronged for a while.
Maya shook her slender neck and snapped her nose in dissatisfaction. Two young people not far away made it feel very uncomfortable. The gaze that came over, there were gestures, as if he had become an accessory to them.
It's a dragon, not a beast with a muddle. Even the boy who rescued himself, and the girl who hurt himself with despicable means, never revealed this attitude.
Maya thought about it carefully, yes! The girl treated herself as an opponent, prey, and prisoner. The young man was even more weird. Although his attitude was cold, it was more like alienating strangers. When he leaned in to steal mana by his side, it did not attract rejection.
Those who are truly qualified to regard it as a plaything have given the most basic respect. But how dare these two young people treat it with this attitude?
When Maya's anger began to rise, Irene in the chamber was already furious. These people were too shameless, they even made her responsible for Zoya's killing of Dragon Knight. As a friend, she is obligated to restrain Zoya's behavior, so she must compensate for the losses caused by Zoya.
Irene glanced at the people in the hall, her chest blocked badly. No matter how you are outside, you have to follow the rules of the clan when you return to the clan. As a dragon knight, it is impossible for outsiders to participate in the decision of the clan.
Zoya had already guessed the predicament that she might face, so she said words that others were not allowed to interfere with before leaving, hoping to take over these pressures.
But she couldn't do this, even if Zoya could easily bear it, even if Zoya hoped so. Because once you do, I am afraid you will be isolated by the tribe. Moreover, by all the responsibilities behind her friends, she will also lose her reputation.
Perhaps, the group of people in front of her is waiting for her to make the wrong choice, so that they can easily get everything about her.
When Zoya left, she had said that she had to go down the road alone.
Irene understands that she must face many things alone in the future.
She knew what the real purpose of this group of people was, but it was still early for them to be proud. Irene controlled her breathing, so that the anger in her heart gradually calmed down.
She raised her chin slightly, showing a condescending posture. At this moment, Irene seemed to have returned to Dani again, imitating everything about her with Zoya.
The chamber gradually calmed down, and everyone looked at Irene weirdly. From being at a loss after entering the door to burning with anger, everything was expected. Just when people thought the dust had settled, things started to change.
The girl still stood there, her posture did not change significantly, but her temperament was slowly changing. She gradually stabilized, and gradually became unshakable, like a prominent rock.
Everyone in the chamber was seized by her aura for a while and became silent.
At this time, Irene was not angry and presumptuous. She took a step forward calmly and said loudly: "From a young age, you elders have warned us to be less clever and let us behave according to our duties. You said you would treat every tribe fairly, We are friendly, united, and brave, and we must be fearless even in the face of death.
I once believed it to be true, but when I grew up I realized that all this was just a lie. Just like you guys now, it's a complete joke.
But more ridiculously, I still believe in these. That's why I stand here to face you, rather than relying on the power of my friends. Even, do not hesitate to drift away from them.
I betray the trust of my friends and steal their secrets. You say all this is for the people and the overall situation. I brought some knowledge of wizards back here, but you didn't think it was enough. Think that I have not done well enough, not enough to bear the humiliation. But I brought them back after all.
But what about you guys? But I want to dismiss this part of knowledge as my own, causing the wizards in our clan to have little improvement. None of the wizards who were sent to the Northland City were willing to come back, so that there was no one among the tribes to use.
Today, you are still superior internally, but what about externally? "
Irene looked around everyone, "right or wrong, good or bad, you will always come up with all kinds of rhetoric. Fortunately, we are dragon knights and can speak with strength. So let's duel, the winner decides everything."
Hall's expression changed, and he raised his voice and said, "Eileen!"
Irene turned a deaf ear to this cry, "Or I challenge everyone."
"Arrogant!" Someone couldn't help but rebuked.
Irene glanced contemptuously, "Then start with you. I hope you still remember the honor of Dragon Knight and won't escape the sacred duel."
"you……"
That day, Irene brought the Black Dragon to the first challenge after she proposed a duel. When the opponent appeared in the duel on the ground walking dragon, Irene also sat on Maya’s neck and raised his sword to signal...
No one can deprive her of the dragon until the duel is won.
Hall looked at the arrogant daughter in the duel, and followed with joy. My daughter really grew up, and finally broke down...
Maya's neck is not that easy to ride, and Irene is only proud of it on the court for a short while. For this trivial moment, she started a long "maid" career.
The matter ended in a farce, and while gritting his teeth, he was reluctant to bear the baby Black Dragon. So there are a lot of things that should be given, and nothing less should be given...
In the environment in which Dragon Knight seemed to be pampered, Maya did not have much energy. Only Irene knew that it wanted to magic power again. This reminded her of how Maya was when she got close to Bran, well-behaved and sensible.
Not knowing what the situation in Northland City is now, she decided to take time to show Maya the way.
...
In Beidicheng, as always, there are still some happy and some worry.
For example, Charlotte has been very happy recently. The great wizard, who has always ignored the outside world, deliberately reported her peace. He said: Zoya is all well, let her not worry. Things that don't matter to the Great Wizard have different meanings in the eyes of people around them, so her life is much easier.
For Bran, Charlotte is optional, and the feedback is only out of courtesy. He could not care about Charlotte's feelings, but he could not help but consider Zoya. After being polite, I just put the matter behind.
He is now fully concentrating on guarding the old tree, because the old tree is about to wake up. Feiyu, White Wolf, and Snow Falcon are all abnormal today. Feiyu's eyes were scarlet and excited, and the White Wolf and Snow Falcon were all guarded by the collective strike.
First there was a crack, and an invisible crack appeared on the tree. Then, as if a firecracker was lit, the crackling sound came one after another, and the cracks on the tree became more and more. Finally, a small piece of debris fell apart first, and a chain reaction also occurred. Large and small fragments followed closely, and fell apart one after another.
After the surface layer is peeled off, the next layer begins to repeat the previous process.
Flying feathers, white wolves, and snow falcons who had been squatting by the side swarmed up and began to frantically eat these pieces. Bran looked curious, and picked up a piece of it and threw it into his mouth. He didn't taste anything for a long time. It's just that the tree body, which used to be hard to damage by swords, turned into pieces all over the floor and turned into crispy.
The old tree is too tall, and the fallen fragments are enough for the white wolf and snow falcon to eat. When they got round and round, they squeezed together like drunk and fell asleep.
Feiyu still red eyes and bowed his head and ate. Looking at the bulging belly, Bran was really afraid it would break. He tentatively said: "Sleep for a while, and I will help you keep the rest."
Feiyu paused, Mu Ran raised his neck as if he wanted to nod, but his head tilted to one side. Then, getting more and more crooked and sliding his whole body to the ground...
The molting process lasted for several days, and Bran almost fainted when a white and tender bald rod without any branches and leaves stood in front of him. In order to prevent the oversized bald rod from falling down, he had to turn it into ashes and hold it firmly.
Seeing this situation, he directly held the flowers out of the canopy with both hands, put them on the ground respectfully, and then quickly hid in the distance. Huahua stretched her waist first, then jumped to her old tree and habitually stretched out her claws to grind on it.
This claw completely awakened the ancient tree from its deep sleep. So amidst the complaints, first the weird cat face emerged from the trunk. Then one third of the lower part of the tree trunk was divided into two and turned into two legs, free from Bran's help and stood firmly. And the upper third immediately opened up and turned into branches, with green leaves growing and vines emerging...
Seeing this situation, the exploration that had just run away rushed back, holding the flowers respectfully with both hands, and carefully placing them back into the canopy.
Branley looked carefully at the old tree, which was half of the size, and was a little silly.
