Chapter 84: Dragon ride

While Bran struggled to complete the trial, the dragoons had also left the Northland. With the alloy ingots ordered, the heavy cargo greatly slowed down the dragon knights. On the perpetual bank of the boundary river in the Northland, they merged with the dragoons left behind, and then walked slowly towards their homeland, the Bibo Islands on the east coast.
The perpetual river is relatively wide but not turbulent. Except during the flood season, the river is not very deep. If it weren't for leading the wagon, the dragoons could completely drive the horse to run over. In the middle of the river, there is a wide stone bridge-Beigu Bridge. After the Beigu Bridge, the road gradually separated, forming a big herringbone. The dragoons will turn east along the road from here and walk back home.
The Beigu Bridge was built by the Kingdom to invade the Northland. Back then, the people from the North happily watched the kingdom build the bridge, happily waited for the army to cross the river, set up a camp, and then killed everyone in the camp overnight...
This behavior angered the kingdom up and down. At that time, everyone thought that the Northlanders were just a group of beasts with sticks and stones. They thought this was a despicable sneak attack, caused by the incompetence and carelessness of the frontline officers. Therefore, the kingdom has gathered nearly five thousand knights, ready to teach the people of the Northland a lesson that will never be remembered.
That year, Longqi also dispatched two hundred rides. But when the people from the opposite side of the Thousand Northern Lands appeared, the dragon knights felt a familiar aura, that of a predator, so the dragon knights withdrew from the battlefield and chose to watch. Then, they saw a unilateral killing. The savages they thought were not sticks and stones, but seemingly simple and undecorated weapons, but they were truly magic weapons. At that time, the weapons and armors of the knights were no different from those of paper. When there were about two hundred northerners rushing to the dragon knights who were watching and preparing for a fair contest, the dragon knights who had seen the equipment gap between the two sides turned and ran. That battle also spread the name of the prisoners in the north.
After the dignified battle, the kingdom was dumbfounded, and panic spread throughout the country. After taking the initiative to compensate, the two sides confirmed the ownership of the North Land 20 miles south of the Perpetual River Bank. It's just that the people in the North have been habitually patrolling along the north bank of Hebei, ignoring the affairs of the south bank, so the south bank is gradually being occupied.
With the contact between the two sides, when they knew that the Northerners alone had blocked the demons from the mountain pass in the western border of the Northern Territory, the Northerners became no longer a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but became a barrier to the kingdom. It was their luck that the people from the Northland blocked the demons, so the kingdom began to send a small amount of supplies to the Northland in the name of salary.
At the same time, a relatively neutral group, scholars, sent personnel into the Northland to try to explore the history of the Northlanders. Since then, important places in the North, such as the castle and the west, have been served by scholars.
...
The dragon rider staying at the border is to accompany his own flying dragon. The wild flying dragon and the snow falcon, the two air overlords, will fight first as long as they meet, and no one can pull away before the winner is determined. Moreover, there are a large number of wild groups in the Northland or the Bibo Islands, so neither the Dragon Knights nor the Northlanders will bring their own flying dragons or snow falcons to the other side's land. The picture after being beaten up by the group is too beautiful...
In an air battle, it is difficult to distinguish the pros and cons of the flying dragon and the snow falcon. The flying dragon has a huge and strong body, but it is far inferior to the snow falcon in terms of flying height, speed, and maneuverability. But the long and flexible neck of the flying dragon made up for these disadvantages. The sharp kisses owned by the snow falcons, the fangs owned by the flying dragons, and their sharp claws are indistinguishable.
The dragon riders' trip to the north was not complete. Two little dragon riders are not as simple as increasing their knowledge. When the Northland released the news of marriage a few years ago, the dragon knights were moved. Their original goal was not Bran, for the reputation of Dragon Knight, it is absolutely impossible to get an idiot as a son-in-law. Since Beidi can sell a silly son, there should be room for negotiation in the normal marriage. So the elders let Xiao Longqi and Xiao Beidi people come in contact, and even secretly contributed to the flames, to see if they could establish a more intimate relationship.
Little Dragon Knight didn't know that he was actually similar to Bran, they were already items for sale, but they had not yet been labeled. When they followed the team happily, they believed that their superiority moved the elders, so they could follow the team in advance to increase their knowledge. In fact, they are just pebble to explore the way.
The dragon knights were targeting Bran’s two older brothers, but it was a pity that the two boys started to practice at the same time and missed the chance of initial contact. After the two returned from the trial, Ayman and Irene had been having fun with Lily and Bran, and had no intention of paying attention to the two.
Actually this is not bad. With the understanding, the dragon knights did not reject the closer connection between the two pairs of children. But as the understanding deepened, the dragon knights found that things had exceeded their estimates.
Lily is too good in some aspects. A Northland girl who did not participate in the trial can actually compete with her older brother who has completed the trial without losing the wind. Such a person cannot become the target of foreign marriage.
And Bran, the Dragoons are a little confused now. An abandoned son who was going to be thrown out of the Northland since he was a child, actually owns an exquisite and luxurious villa. Although the villa never accepts adult visits, according to the children's description, everyone feels ashamed. That kind of luxury is not manifested by rich wealth or extravagance, but details. According to the children, even the kennels in the villa are spotless, with exquisite murals, and every floor tile on the ground is meticulously carved with various flowers and plants. They didn't want to come out at all when they entered, but they were forcibly driven out by the white wolf inside. After the children were driven out, they saw a few white wolves sweep the ground they had stepped on with their tails. After the cleaning, these white wolves came out and stood in front of them, shaking the ashes on their bodies, with a look of disgust...
What is more mysterious is that no outsiders are allowed to enter the third floor of the villa.
Daddy Longqi tried to enter the villa through the Duke, but the Duke explained to him with embarrassment that the villa was the private property of his fourth son Bran and he had no right to make any decisions. He knew that this was not an excuse. It would be a shameful behavior to make a Northlander admit that he could not control his son.
Thinking of the villa, he thinks of the two crystal kept by his daughter so far. He once thought that the light and shadow of the phoenix was already a rare treasure in the world, but when they left, Bran gave another one to his daughter. The images in the two crystal balls, one illusory and one solid. Although the styles seem to vary greatly, when put together, it is a perfect pair. When his daughter put the pair of crystal in front of her eyes, even he had an uncontrollable desire for possession. But he couldn't ask for it from his daughter. Now he finally understood why his daughter was so soft and so hard that he asked for a few pieces of Dragon Gold from him. Knowing this earlier, he said that he had to take the opportunity to threaten him to prevent his daughter from occupying the crystal ball.
He had paid attention to Dany's equipment, even if it was just for Bran's attendant, it was worth paying a high price. He looked at the bodies of the dead in the caravan and saw the cut that had passed by. In recent years, although the gap between the quality of weapons and the Northland has begun to narrow, the gap is the gap, and any gap between life and death is fatal. As long as she can follow Bran to leave the Northland, as long as she needs to repair her weapons, then she can obtain some secrets of smelting by the Northlanders. After all, it is rumored that all the people in the North are half blacksmiths, and many of them made their own weapons.
Now, no matter what, try to compete for the son-in-law of Bran.
A flying dragon passed over Daddy Longqi's head and let out a roar to make him vigilant. The road to return is not safe, and the wealth is touching. The value of these alloy ingots is enough for many people to risk their lives to obtain them. Although Dragon Knight is not afraid of head-on conflict, open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard. Small-scale conflicts between humans are not determined by their superficial strength. All kinds of insidious and vicious tricks are truly deadly.
