"You're saying that Haku has signed a dragon knight contract with a human?"
The elder was dissatisfied with the failure of Kan's mission, but he fell into deep thought after hearing the news from the escaped dragons.
Apart from Nan, almost no one knew the elder dragon's real name. He had become an elder of the dragon race a long time ago.
The Elder had lived even longer than the Clan Leader. Most of the Giant Dragons would address him as the Elder from the moment they knew of him.
No one knew the elder's exact strength, but he was undoubtedly above level-9.
The elder had his own lair in the Sacred Mountain where the dragons resided. The escaped dragons were crawling on the ground. In front of them was a large black dragon head.
The elder's head alone was about the size of an adult dragon's body. There were three scarlet scars on his black head.
The scars extended from the bridge of his nose to the back of his head.
"It's true!"
"Elder, we saw it with our own eyes. Haku and that human's souls intertwined. It's definitely the legendary dragon knight!"
The elder pondered for a moment. Now that the situation in the Sacred Mountain was settled, he had the absolute right to speak. However, Haku and the so-called dragon knight were like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
The time was not ripe yet. With Haku's strength, as long as the dragon knight he contracted was not too weak, even he would not be a match for him.
"Alright, before I confirm it myself, you guys keep the matter of the dragon knight to yourselves. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"You guys can go."
After the dragons flew away, the elder reached out his claw to touch the scars on his head. There seemed to be blood flowing in these hideous scars.
"I heard that you were banished by the dragon knight. Now is the time for revenge."
After the elder said this strange sentence, a hoarse voice suddenly came from within the Sacred Mountain.
"Release me, dragon."
The elder grinned. "There are still three months before I can merge with your power. If you remove your guard against me, the time will be much faster."
"Deal, shameless dragon."
...
The invasion of Ford Island this time was a wake-up call to humans. Dragons really did exist, and they did not have good intentions towards humans.
Boyka immediately relayed the information to the Grand Duke of Rose. Soon, the Empire sent people to Ford Island.
Kan's corpse and the tourists on Ford Island confirmed Boyka's words. The time of the next dragon invasion was still unknown, and the Empire had to be prepared for battle.
Boyka didn't tell anyone about the dragon knights because he didn't know where Haku and Pennister went.
…
The war preparations between the Empire and the Federation were in full swing, and the Fairy Forest at the border of the two forces welcomed two guests.
Although the Forest Fairies belonged to the Federation, they rarely participated in wars because they were naturally peace-loving and respected nature and life.
"Bai, is the elder really as strong as you say?"
Pennister sat on White's back, opened the map left by his grandfather, and searched for their destination in the sky above the Fairy Forest.
"He's very strong, so you must protect yourself well. My scales have very high magic resistance and heat resistance, it's very suitable for making armor."
Although Pennister had become a Dragon Knight, he could clearly feel the difference in power between him and Kan.
Every time they fought, he had to expend a lot of Battle Aura to block out the effects of the high temperature, or he would be burnt to a crisp.
That was why Bai suggested using the scales she shed to make Pennister a Dragon Knight armor.
Pennister knew of two races with such experience. One was the dwarf race, and the other was the Forest Fairies.
Considering the journey and his interactions with the Forest Fairies, Pennister immediately decided to ride Bai to the Fairy Forest.
After finding the marked mountain range, Pennister ordered Bai to land.
There was a Forest Fairy tribe on the mountain with a long history and a special talent in forging.
Wooo!
Not long after the man and the dragon landed, they heard a huge horn sound.
The nearby village immediately closed its doors, and the walls were filled with fully armed Forest Fairies.
"What kind of monster is that?"
"So scary!"
"There's a human?
Heavens, that thing looks even scarier than the Leon Behemoth. "
Pennister held up his grandfather's parchment scroll and raised both hands.
"Hey, it's me, Pennister Kaye."
With that, Pennister put away the parchment and held up the Fairy Fang.
"Do you remember her?
Fairy Fang. "
One of the Forest Fairies recognized him immediately and said excitedly, "So it's Mr. Pennister!
It's alright, it's alright, we're all acquaintances. Who's that? "
Pennister waved his hand, "Brother Bernard, she's called Bai. She's a real dragon."
… …
Two days after Pennister arrived at the Forest Fairy tribe, Bernard still couldn't believe that there were dragons in this world.
At this time, Pennister and Bai were sitting in the tribe leader's room.
Leader Lina, who was wearing green leather armor, carefully looked at the scales on the table and then glanced at Bai.
"You want me to use these dragon scales to make armor?
That's not impossible. "
"What are the conditions?" Pennister was always straightforward.
Leader Lina pushed her glasses, "Making armor isn't that simple. Dragon scales alone aren't enough, we need a lot of supplementary materials …"
Pennister rolled his eyes, "Leader Lina, we're all smart people. If you have any requests, just say it."
"I can provide supplementary materials, but Miss Bai must leave behind a few dragon scales. Hmm … I'm very interested in dragons. If you're willing, you can chat with me while I'm making the armor."
Pennister frowned, but Bai nodded, "No problem."
It wasn't Pennister's first time in this tribe. He wasn't idle while Bai and Leader Lina were making armor together.
"Brother Bernard, is the Dragon Knight Slate still there?"
"It's still there. It's been in the back of the mountain and no one has touched it."
After arriving at the back of the mountain, Pennister didn't spend much effort to find the old Dragon Knight Slate.
Pennister smiled when he saw the strange words on it.
"It's just as I thought."
The words on it were cryptic and difficult to understand, but they were almost exactly the same as the words used to sign the Dragon Knight Contract. It was definitely the same language.
What did the person who enslaved the Ancestral Dragon and created the Dragon Knight Contract say?
Why did he leave without saying goodbye?
Pennister looked at the green slate. The words on it were still clear. After signing the Dragon Knight Contract, Pennister could roughly understand these words.
"Even so … I … still … can't … atone … for … the … crime …?"
What did this mean?
Pennister was confused for a moment.
Rubbing the bottom of the slate, Pennister found a signature in the lower right corner.
"Ka … Al."
