The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 277's

The sun is high in the sky. Reynolds was currently hiking through a huge mountain.

“I should have entered Anarchist Country by now. “Reynolds himself was not very clear how far he walked, having rushed for ten days. Reynolds generally headed in whatever direction seemed the quietest. Even if he saw the city from afar, he would not enter.

The mountain that Reynolds now occupies is huge and takes up a lot of land.

After climbing for a long time, Reynolds arrived at one of the mountain peaks and looked around. Suddenly, he discovered that this gigantic mountain actually had a small mountain village in its center. Reynolds licked his dry, chapped lips. Grabbing a handful of long vines, he began to descend into a small mountain village in the middle of the mountain.

This small mountain village had people in it. When they saw Reynolds walking in, they glanced at him with curious gazes.

They rarely see visitors.

There were quite a few people in this small mountain village. Guessing based on what his eyes saw, Reynolds estimated there were several thousand people here. There was even an open inn made simple. Reynolds walked over and immediately sat down and said, “Two glasses of water, then some dishes and a bottle of wine. ”

But as soon as he sat down, Reynolds noticed something …

"This place ..." Reynolds' heart shook.

He suddenly discovered that every single person here exuded the aura of an expert. From what Reynolds could tell, there were many warriors of the sixth and seventh rank, and even warriors of the eighth rank. Not soldiers. Magi. And a very strong one.

"Friends, how did you get here?" A bald man came with a bottle of wine and two bowls. "Come, let's have a drink. ”

Reynolds now sensed that this mountain village was no ordinary place. He immediately replied, “I came from across the border with the Rohault Empire. I plan to enter the Anarchist Country. I did not take any major roads, and climbed my mountain to the north. Every time I find a river, I swim through it. Every time I find a mountain, I walk up. I did not expect that while climbing this mountain, I would meet this small mountain village. ”

The bald man nodded and laughed. “So that's the problem. ”

“No wonder. There are no roads near our village, and the mountain is very quiet. In general, we would normally go eight or ten years without seeing a single outsider. “Another man walked over, laughing.

Reynolds was getting anxious.

The two people in front of him were both extremely strong, perhaps at the seventh or eighth rank.

“What is this place? Why are there so many experts here? ”Reynolds quietly wondered.

Drinking and chatting with these two people, Reynolds discovers. In fact, they knew a lot about the outside world.

“Princess Monica [Meng'ni'ka] is coming. "The bald man suddenly said. Many people turned to look in one direction, and Reynolds did too …

He saw a beautiful young lady with long jade hair walking with the maid maid behind him, while greeting the other villagers warmly. Seeing this beautiful woman, Reynolds was instantly stunned. That beautiful face .. that friendly smile …

Despite often having dalliances in the middle of flowers, Reynolds feels deeply fascinated and in love.

“I think ... I've found the place to be. ”

Playboy Reynolds has dressed up with some young noblewomen. But not a single person has managed to move his heart. But the girl in this mysterious mountain village had a very unique aura, which made Reynolds' heart tremble.

The girl named Monica glanced at Reynolds. Reynolds instantly discovered that Monica's clear eyes contained a hint of jade light. He looked like one of the legendary spirits, completely bewitching. Monica laughed and talked to him. “Halo, outsider. ”

Reynolds immediately got up and said respectfully, “Beautiful Princess Monica, my name is Reynolds. ”

Suddenly Monica glanced at Reynolds' left hand. He opened his mouth in surprise, then looked at Reynolds. "What happened to your hand?"

“It was injured by someone. “Say Reynolds casually.

Monica immediately walked towards him. "Place your hands. "Reynolds did not ask any questions, immediately reaching out his left hand. The wound left behind by the steel clamp was extremely frightening to look at. Monica's lips began to move slightly, and a while later …

Countless specks of light entered Reynolds' left hand like a mirage-like nebula. Reynolds could clearly feel that the wound on his left hand was healing quickly, and two new fingers were growing from there. In the blink of an eye, Reynolds' left hand returned to its perfect state, as if it had never been injured.

"This ... this ..." Reynolds was startled, and he looked at the young woman named Monica in surprise.

He did not expect that this young lady named Monica was a light-style magus, and a very strong one. His strength was not inferior to Reynolds.

When Reynolds saw the expression of concentration on Monica's face, her heart immediately thumped.

…… .

Nightfall. The sun set in the west, and the sky had a large number of red clouds like fire.

On the grass near the mountain village, Reynolds and Monica walked side by side. Reynolds looked at Monica's beautiful face, and in his heart, he felt a hint of satisfaction. He had already lived here in this mysterious mountain village for over a month now.

No one in the mountain village suggested that he leave.

During a month in the mountain village, Reynolds learns that most of the villagers here never leave the mountain village. Only a small percentage occasionally travel to the outside world. When they returned, they would tell the other villagers about the events of the outside world.

Monica was only twenty years old, but she was already a light style magus of the seventh rank. In terms of talent, he was actually superior to Reynolds. He's even more talented than Reynolds.

“I can't keep going like this. I had to tell my parents and Third Bro that I was still alive. ”Reynolds wants to meet his friends and family, but Monica's attraction to him is too strong. And for Monica, this outsider, Reynolds, knows a lot of things. Every time she chatted with him, Monica discovered that she could learn many things about the outside world.

Reynolds is very good at making conversations. This made Monica very happy every time she was with him.

"Miss Monica's. "A voice suddenly came from behind them, and a silver-haired middle-aged man walked towards them. Reynolds. He did not notice this man approaching them. Obviously, that man was very strong.

“Uncle Miller [Mi'le]. "When Monica turned her head and saw this middle-aged man with short silver hair, she immediately burst out laughing.

Miller had a simple and honest face. Glancing at Reynolds, he then laughed towards Monica in a friendly manner. "Miss Monica, it's too late. Your mother is waiting for you to come home and have dinner. Monica nodded, then smiled towards Reynolds. “Sister Reynolds, I'll be home for now. See you soon . ”

Reynolds smiled and nodded as well.

After Monica left, Miller stared at Reynolds. “Outside child, you've been in our mountain village for quite some time now. You now need to make a choice … "

"Optional?" Reynolds was shocked.

Miller nodded calmly. “Because you have found us, it means that fate has brought you here. You now have two choices. The first was to forever stay in our mountain village, and being one of our villagers, never left. The second is to leave immediately, and never enter again. You only have two choices. If you don't obey, you'll surely die. ”

These cold and calm words made Reynolds heart tremble.

Going forever? Or never leave the mountain village again?

Reynolds didn't want to make a choice.

"Mr . Miller, "Reynolds hurriedly said," Based on what I know, isn't there anyone in the village who occasionally goes out? "

Miller glanced at him, then chuckled. "really. Our mountain village has an annual contest. Anyone who managed to enter the top ten during this tournament was allowed to leave the village and travel to the outside world. But given your current strength .. You can't even rank within our hundred, let alone ten. ”

Reynolds was very worried.

“Although at the moment I can't rank, in the future I might. “Reynolds has made his decision. "Mr . Miller, I have decided to become a member of this village. “Although Reynolds loved his parents, when he was a soldier, he often went a year or two without seeing his parents once. As long as his parents knew he was alive, that was all that mattered. In the future, he would have the chance to meet them. It shouldn't be too much trouble.

Reynolds knew that his parents could definitely live for another century or two.

But Monica .. Reynolds is worried that if she leaves, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Miller nodded slightly. “Welcome to the village. Remember. You are not allowed to leave the village without permission. If it is known that you do it .. You will surely die. Whatever happens, you should not hide any doubts about how strong our village is. "Miller immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

"Mr . Millerite. “Reynolds hurriedly said.

Miller turned to look at her. "What's that?"

"When the other people in the village leave, can they help me carry the message?" Ask Reynolds.

Miller nodded. "Yes they can . However, you cannot reveal any information about the village. In two days, I will leave the village. If you have a message, I can help you send it. ”

Reynolds felt a wave of excitement, and he hurriedly said, “Master Miller, when you leave the village, please go to the Dawson Conglomerate branch and tell them that I, Reynolds Dunstan, am not dead. Right now, I am living a happy life, and I hope my friends and family are not worried about me. ”

"Dawson's Conglomerate?" Miller glanced at him, then nodded.

"Mr Miller. “Reynolds suddenly realized something. “Don't you just say that only the top ten in annual tournaments are allowed to travel? Why can you leave whenever you want? ”

Miller glanced at. “After you are at my power level, you can also leave whenever you want. "When he spoke, with one move, Miller suddenly disappeared from in front of Reynolds. Reynolds heart was filled with shock; this speed was simply too terrifying!

"My lord, that Reynolds isn't very strong, but it seems like Miss Monica is feeling a bit .." Miller stood to one side respectfully, while a handsome, fine-faced middle-aged man with long black hair sat on the stone chair, casually sipping wine.

The delicate middle-aged man laughed calmly. "Monica is free to like whoever she wants. Don't force him. For Reynolds to choose to remain in the village meant he had the courage, at least. ”

"But Madam .." said Miller.

The delicate middle-aged man laughed. "Haha .. for that, there's nothing I can do either. If that Reynolds really likes my daughter, then all I can do is suggest she work hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to pass my wife's approval. ”

“Tomorrow, as you head for the Forest of Darkness, be careful. Don't upset the Dark Forest King. "The delicate middle-aged man glanced at Miller.

"Yes, sir. "Said Miller with respect.

The next morning, a sudden blur shot out at high speed from the mountain village. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the sky as it flew towards the north at high speed. The speed at which he traveled was much faster than Linley's speed at full Dragonform. About an hour later, the obscurity arrived in the Dark Forest.

"Hmm?" The staggering speed diminished, and from top to top, Miller stared down.

Blackdirt City was located quite close to the Forest of Darkness, only about fifty kilometers away from him. Miller is currently right above Mt. Black crow . Even though he was flying at high speed, he could sense a large amount of wind force energy coming from below.

"Anybody else who's also practicing at Laws of the Wind?" Miller's eyes twinkled.

Miller also studied the Law of Wind. He carefully examined Mt. Blackraven, and looking at the human figure, wore a deep blue robe that held a purple long sword. The human form was constantly twinkling in several places on Mt. Blackraven with incredibly fast speed.

“The level of understanding is very good. It has been centuries since I have argued with other wind style experts. "Miller's heart itches. He was flying at high speed.

Now, Linley had noticed this human form flying down from the sky at high speed.

Miller landed directly on the top of a tree crown on Mt. Black crow . Standing on the crown of the tree, he looked at Linley nearby and laughed loudly, "I'm Miller, also a student of Wind Laws. My friend, are you willing to compete with me? "
