C13 The Valkyrie Riding the Dragon
I have to say, it's good for the little dragon to have Valkyrja on his back. This way, it would be more convenient for him to pass through the country. A dragon flying over the sky of a country would scare ordinary people into running away. The king would organize an army to attack. But a Valkyrja riding a dragon was different. When Valkyrja flew over on a dragon, people would look up at her heroic bearing. When Valkyrja, who was riding a dragon, stopped, the town would be proud to welcome such a noble knight to rest. Although this made the little dragon look like a mount, they had to admit that this was indeed a good idea. The little dragon did not need to take too many detours. Moreover, he could see many strange countries along the way.
Because Valkyrja, who rode the dragon, looked so majestic, some nobles and kings would often pay a high price to ask Brunhilde to do something. For example, defeating a giant and killing a strong wild boar. Go to the castle of the evil dark wizards and save the princess that was taken away. After all, knights riding dragons seemed to be much stronger than knights riding ordinary horses. In fact, it was the same. Brunhilde was once the subordinate of the Great God, Valkyrja. Lil'Dino was also a brave and smart dragon, so he was like a wild boar or a giant, such an enemy. One man and one dragon could usually deal with it effortlessly. As for enemies like the evil dark Magi, since Lil'Dino had the magic ring that Queen Titania gave him that could resist all kinds of evil curses, Furthermore, after learning the holy knight skill, the dark Magi's spells were completely ineffective against the little dragon. Occasionally, there would be a spell that would return and hit its master, so the mission succeeded again and again.
Although the reward for completing each mission was very generous, Lil'Dino and Valkyrja did not have enough money bags to store so many treasures. Therefore, they would usually only take away a portion that was enough and use a portion as a tribute. The remaining portion was returned to the original owner. Hence, Valkyrja's reputation as a dragon was spread among the nobles and commoners. Furthermore, it spread further and further, even faster than the little dragon. When the little dragon left a country and came to another country, the matter of Valkyrja riding on a dragon had already arrived. People were reciting this information from their mouths: A noble female knight riding a huge dragon was heading west. She wanted to send a sword that was stuck in the God Stone to Blbion Island in the sea. Any warrior who was not afraid of dragons could try to pull the sword out. The one who pulled the sword out would become the king of all the land in Blbion.
The bards spread the story of the dragon and Valkyrja everywhere, while the little dragon and his wife finally arrived at the beach. The strong sea breeze carried a salty smell as it blew into the little dragon's nostrils, raising Valkyrja's blonde hair again. The little dragon noticed that Brunhilde's eyes were filled with tears. So he asked her what happened.
"Oh, this wind reminds me of the past. Those days when I was traveling with Valkyrja's sisters in the sky." Brunhilde wiped the corners of her eyes and tried her best to hide the tears that almost fell.
"I heard that Great God loves brave warriors the most. You have made a lot of contributions along the way. Without a doubt, you are a warrior." Xiao Long said, "Since there is a door leading to the Fey Kingdom and dwarf Kingdom in this world, then there should also be a place that leads to the Asa Divine Garden where Great God resides. If you can go and beg for his forgiveness, perhaps you can become Valkyrja again."
"The path to the Divine Kingdom is at the place where the rainbow lands in the extreme north. But I don't need to go there." Brunhilde quietly smiled and shook her head. She leaned her head against the little dragon's neck." The merits of this journey were accomplished by me and you. It is not my strength alone. I am your wife."
The little dragon revealed a dragon-like smile and did not say anything. The two of them sat on the beach and quietly watched the sunset in the distance. It was only when the night fell and the stars filled the sky that they fell asleep together.
When the morning sun shone on the beach, the little dragon was the first to wake up. Not only because of habit, but also because of the heavy footsteps. Originally, the little dragon thought that it was a giant, but after looking at the fame of the footsteps, he realized that it was just a strong man as big as an ordinary person. The brawny man carried a huge iron staff on his shoulder, and on the iron staff hung bread, cheese, and a barrel of wine. Although this iron staff and the goods behind it looked very heavy, the brawny man easily carried them on his shoulder. It seemed that he didn't care about the weight at all. After seeing his face, the little dragon felt that this was definitely not a giant, because he looked quite delicate and pretty. And his skin was very fair.
"Hey, Dragon, what are you doing here?" When the little dragon was observing the brawny man, the brawny man also saw the little dragon, so he raised his left hand to greet him. It could be seen that he was not afraid at all.
"Oh, sir, I'm a messenger, the brawny man said. I have accepted Queen Titania's request to send a stone and a sword to the Blbion across the sea." Xiao Long said, "It seems that you are also a brave warrior. You can try to draw your sword."
" Alright, let me see. " The brawny man walked over and sized up the stones and swords on Lil'Dino's chest. He then shook his head and said, "Although my strength is greater than all twelve of them combined, I don't want to pull out this sword. Because I have no interest in becoming the ruler of the Blbion. "
"Looks like you recognize the words on it." The little dragon was a little surprised. "You, who can recognize the language of the Kingdom of Devils, are not an ordinary person. Can you tell me your own story?"
"No problem." The brawny man said, "My name is Nodel Hanks. You can call me Hanks. My father is a fisherman, and my mother is one of the daughters of Nolde, the God of the Sea. When I was young, I lived in the ocean with my mother. I came back this time to see my father and to experience life on land."
" I hope your journey is worth it " Lil'Dino said.
"You too, Mr. Long." Hanks said, "Although you have reached the beach, it is quite dangerous to fly west from here. There are terrible storms on the distant sea outside of my grandfather's territory, as well as sea beasts that are many times bigger than you, Kurakan. Its thick and long tentacles can easily capture you from the sky. "
" Thank you for your reminder, but how should I fly? " The little dragon humbly asked.
"You will follow the coast in that direction. You will pass the Bay of Bahens, the Sea of Ehermes, the Kingdom of Armstrong, Nordwick City, the Hague Knight Castle, the Great Swamp at the mouth of the Deer River, Goose Castle, Midelberg, the Kingdom of Brewgue, the City of Austin, the Church of the Sand Dune, and all the way to the side of Carleis. There was a Cape made entirely out of gray stones, which was the Grey Nose Cape. The tip of the Cape was pointed at the Straits of Sleeves. The White Mountain Cape in Blbion is over there." Hanks raised his finger and pointed in a direction." The Sleeve Strait belongs to my grandfather. In the three summer months, there were quite a lot of merchant ships coming and going. If you follow them, you don't have to worry about getting lost. If things aren't urgent, I suggest you stop at the Seavanning coast near the Hague Knight Castle. The scenery there is quite beautiful, and there are delicious fish there."
Lil'Dino expressed his gratitude towards Hanks's guidance. At this time, Brunhilde also woke up. The three of them happily went to breakfast together and said goodbye to each other, then once again embarked on their respective journey. Before parting, Hanks gave Lil'Dino a large conch. It was said that this was proof of the friendship between the underwater countries. The sound of the conch could prove that he was a friend of Sea God and Nolde.
According to Hanks's guidance, Lil'Dino flew south along the coast. After passing by the Baheng Coast and the Aihmund Coast, it entered the Armstrong Kingdom. The Armstrong Kingdom was a beautiful country, and there were large patches of smoked grass, lemon grass, and Rosemary growing along the coast. On the plains beside the river were large fields, with many tall red brick windmill embellishing them. The farmers were wearing wooden shoes as they busied themselves in the fields. Other than wheat, the fields were also planted with wheat. There were also all kinds of flowers, most of which were tulips.
"Oh, what a beautiful flower. Even I have never seen so many tulips in God's garden before." Brunhilde was attracted, although there were many rare flowers in the garden of the Great God. However, there were not so many tulips. She hoped that the little dragon would descend to take a look. It was also the first time that the little dragon saw such a large patch of tulips. Thus, he carefully landed on the road beside the Honeylush, and did his best to shrink his body. He was afraid that his large claws would accidentally step on a stalk. Brunhilde was intoxicated as she walked along the flower field. The little dragon also stretched out his neck to smell the fragrance of the flowers.
"What a beautiful flower. It would be great if I could plant it too." Brunhilde bent down and gently touched the flower petals. "Although my father once bought a tulip's flower ball (ball stalk) at a high price and made the best soil, water, and flower cellar for the tulips. But I don't know why they always don't grow well. "
"If I'm not wrong, the method is not right." As he spoke, Xiaolong took out a few flower pots from his Treasure Bag. "Do you want to buy some flower balls and plant them after completing the mission?"
"I think this is a good idea." Brunhilde walked through the flower field and knocked on the door of the house in the middle.
"Who is knocking outside?" A female voice came from the house.
"Excuse me, ma'am, I want to buy some tulips stems." Brunhilde said very politely.
"Beautiful lady, although I am very willing to sell it to you, But these tulips don't belong to me." The door opened and a young fairy appeared in front of him. "They belong to the beautiful Queen of Blossoms, but if you are willing to pay her a visit... Maybe she will be willing to give you some. "
"Alright." Brunhilde smiled helplessly, and said, "Since these flowers belong to a fairy queen, then I shouldn't disturb her over a few flowers."
After saying that, Brunhilde turned around and left, returning to the little dragon's back. The little dragon flapped its wings and flew up, while the young fairy stood there with a dumbfounded expression.
