"Then I won't go back. I can watch others die, but I don't want to die myself." kukas decided not to return to the Latour empire with the black robed female mages. In his opinion, even if he can't go back and control the castle, it doesn't matter. All he has to do is try not to die.
The black robed female mage was not surprised by kukas's answer. But even so, she still didn't give up persuading kukas: "the general's goal is to hunt a dragon. Maybe we can get some real dragon blood from the general. I think you should know how the dragon's blood helps us!"
Dragon's blood. The function of this thing is too precious for professionals. It is said that professionals can enhance their internal toughness by taking a drop of dragon's blood. If they drink a cup of dragon's blood, they have a weak chance to get some inheritance of the dragon. If you can use the dragon's blood to smear it on yourself, it will make your skin stronger. It can even resist the damage of sharp magic weapons to a certain extent.
It is said that if they can swallow a little brain of the dragon, they can learn dragon language, write and speak it. It can even increase the mental strength of professionals and strengthen the meditation space. What's more, they even got some special talents of the dragon, or they can change into a dragon, or they can be immune to any magic, or they can be immune to fighting attacks.
Of course, all this is said. Whether it is true or not, it is not known by Knights of kukas level.
"Maybe I'll get a cup of dragon's blood, maybe I can't get anything. The price I have to pay for this is a 99% chance of death. Do you think I'll agree? Death is not terrible, it's terrible to take the initiative to find death when I know it. Maybe one day I don't want to live, I'll take the initiative to find death!" Kukas tilted his thick head and said in a deep voice.
"If you stay here, you may never return to the Latour empire. Hundreds of empires in the north of the ice sheet never connect with the Empire opposite the ice sheet. If you stay here, you will never return to the Latour empire." the black robed female mage took a deep breath and tried to convince kukas again: "Perhaps you should consider that there are still many people waiting for you in the Latour empire."
"The man waiting for me is already dead! He may have died when I was a first-order knight." Kukas was silent. He thought of the old knight who wanted him to take over the manor. Decades later, the old knight's face changed from clear to fuzzy, and then to the current clarity. All these changes made him feel that his commitment to the old knight was too absurd.
"One day, I will not rely on anyone to return to the Latour Empire and my castle," kukas said with a deep breath "I tell you the truth, I will never take an adventure in the barren ice field. In the face of a giant dragon that is likely to be legendary, even if it is only the aftermath of the battle, I think it will easily kill us. I may take other risks, but I won't take such an almost absolute death risk."
"It's also risky for you to complete the task of Lich land, and even more dangerous in some aspects." the black robed female mage shook her head and whispered, "I think I must tell you that the death rate of the mercenaries in Lich land is 50% or even higher. If you want to improve your strength in this way, I'm afraid you will die faster."
"No, you are wrong. The death rate in the Lich land is only 50%, and the death rate will be 99% or even 100% if you go through the barren ice field to hunt dragons." Kukas remained unmoved. Although he was eager for the blood of the dragon to improve his strength, he knew that whether he could survive the encirclement and suppression of the dragon was the biggest problem. Even if he survived, he could get two things! Maybe a cup of dragon blood or just a drop of dragon blood.
In his opinion, a cup of dragon blood or a drop of dragon blood is not even as beneficial as the knowledge of the Lich land!
"The general stopped the glorious hand from killing you for your sake." the black robed female mage took a deep breath again, raised her voice and said, "don't you mean something?"
"A general can't block the powerful organization of the hand of glory for a third-order evil knight. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm leaving here." Having said this, kukas turned and walked under the stone tower. He wanted to find a quiet place, then expand the task scroll, go back to the Lich land, continue to accept the task there, and then enhance his strength a little bit.
The horsetail maid wanted to go down with kukas, but was stopped by the black robed female Mage: "if you leave with him, I think her Highness The Scarlet queen will be very uncomfortable. He doesn't know the strength of the scarlet queen and your scarlet manor. He lost an opportunity like this. Maybe it has been doomed."
"Why don't you tell him, master?" the horsetail maid said anxiously to the black robed female mage. She knew that if kukas knew their real strength, she would never leave.
"Tell him what you can do? People like him actually have their own ideas. What's more, your adults don't allow us to divulge the information of real strength with ordinary people. I think they always have a purpose. I can't destroy their plans for my own sake." the female mage sighed and whispered Persuasion: "You know, on his way back, kukas was manipulated by a priest of the Dionysian church. Although he looks very normal now, it's difficult to ensure whether the priest left any behind hands in his mind. It's better to leave. Maybe you will be more sad if something happens and he is killed by your adult."
The horsetail maid was speechless. She just sighed at last, and then stood quietly by the windowsill, looking at the Cannes mountains with huge flames in the distance and praying silently.
The black robed female mage turned the staff in her hand and sent out a strong mysterious smell to wrap her. In her eyes, two slowly rotating seven pointed star Dharma arrays appeared. The Dharma array rotates, and fuzzy images emerge from it, and then the next breathing time disappears.
