It took Jolly, the one-armed man, and a few knights half a morning to climb down from it, and in a sea of green grass, the hill looked like a stone island.

He was a little tired when he reached the bottom of the mountain, and the hill looked even larger below, and the one-armed Jolly had habitually called the hill Dragonstone, with low trees and thorny bushes covering the low slopes of the Dragonstone, and at the top there was a row of jagged bare rocks reaching the sky with a steep force, and there, among the broken boulders, sharp ridges, and needle-like spires, the air was filled with the smell of ash, and all the rocks and trees were charred black as far as the eye could see. The ground was littered with burnt bones, and that was where they were looking for the dragon.

Just two days earlier, in the other direction of the depths of the forest, they had found a source of water for a guide while climbing on the top of a rocky spire, and a glimmer of light in the setting sun, a small stream, small but would lead them to a slightly larger stream, and then into a certain river, and at last they found a dragon that could not be judged if it was the same one that had killed King Rollssheen.

According to the alchemists, once upon a time there were dragon knights who harnessed dragons and relied on powerful black magic and horns to control their mounts, but to everyone's surprise, the dragon they encountered was not aggressive towards them, and was very afraid of humans, in other words, very afraid of the one-armed Jolly among them.

But no matter how far the dragon flies every day, no matter how fearful it is, in the evening it will instinctively return to its home in Dragonstone, which is its home.

The silver moon seemed to be within reach, and the bright blue stream flowed under the mountain, sparkling in the sunlight, and a dragon soared into the sky......

Before finding the dragon, the group was alone in their quest for the Dragonstone, and they were ordered by Lord Namsi to find the dragon, where there was very little food to eat, and most of the time was spent starving...... But despite this, they still have a peculiar pleasure, a little curiosity, a little fasting, and the shivers of the night...... They found some wild onions under the southern slopes, and later found a vegetable covered with reddish leaves, which looked like a variant of some kind of cabbage, and it didn't matter what it was, because they didn't feel unwell after eating it, and besides that, they caught a fish in a small pond formed by a gushing spring, and tried to fill their stomachs with these things.

The sea of grass near the Dragonstone was calm, and when the wind blew, the stalks of the grass let out sighs, their whispers that only the gods could understand, and the brook occasionally creaked past a stone, and the earth creaked out from between the toes, and the insects buzzed around, and the shiny green bees and biting gnats were barely visible, and when they rested on her arms, the knights slapped them absentmindedly, So far, they have not seen a single nest, and perhaps the birds in the vicinity have been eaten by dragons.

Evening came imperceptibly, as the golden afterglow appeared on the distant dragonstone spire, beside a low stone wall, overgrown and dilapidated with weeds, perhaps a part of a temple, or the remnants of a village that had once been, and in front of the stone walls, more ruins came into view—an old well, and a circle of grass prints pressed from small huts, though they were no longer there, they must have been made of earth and grass stalks, she judged, but the long wind and rain had washed them into a ruinsBefore sunset, they found the ruins of eight thatched huts nearby, but there must have been more buried in the farther sea of grass.

The stone wall had survived longer than the rest of the ruins, and though it wasn't even that tall, at best it was made up of the protrusions of the two buildings, but it still provided shelter, and as night was approaching, they retreated into a corner, ripped off some of the weeds around the ruins, and built a nest for themselves.

In the distance, a wolf howl sounded, the moon crept into the sky from the sea of grass, and they finally fell into a peaceful sleep before they knew it.

When they got up in the morning, their arms, thighs, and faces were crawling with ants, and when they realized what it was, they kicked off their beds and blankets made of hay sticks and stood up. Where did these ants come from?

The knights swept them off their arms, thighs, and stomachs. She ran her hand through her hair, and found more ants on her head, and one crawling down her neck, and they shook them to the ground, and then crushed one after another with their feet, but there were too many of them......

It turned out that there was an ant mound on the other side of the stone wall, and they wondered how the ants had crawled across and found them, and for them the crumbling stones must have been as tall as the walls of Dubrovnik.

The sun had just risen, and there were still a few bright stars in the deep blue sky, lingering in the sky. also

They took a moment to make sure they were heading in the wrong direction, and you don't want to miss the creek by going in the wrong direction. "Knights." The one-armed Jolly said loudly. "Follow me and we won't lose our way."

When they knew which path led ahead, they cupped a little water with their hands, and there was nothing to drink but the morning dew that shimmered on the tall grass, and unless they were willing to chew on it, they had already eaten all the food they had brought with them, "and that we might get lost in an ocean," said the one-armed Jolly, as he walked along the winding stream, "and then perhaps we might find some crabs, or a fat fish." ”

Just after noon, they followed the brook to a bush, the crooked branches of which were covered with hard green fruit, and when they looked at them suspiciously, they plucked one from one of them, and took a bite of it, the flesh sour and chewy, followed by a familiar bitterness.

"This berry should be eaten with roasted meat." One of the knights in the party told himself that speaking out loud would make him feel more certain, and their stomachs began to growl, and then they found themselves already picking fruits with their hands and stuffing them into their mouths.

If we stay in this place, we will die, they all thought so before they found the dragon, is there really a dragon here?

"Go down." The one-armed Jolly commanded. "Follow the creek and find the dragon's suspicious abode, and you'll find the dragon."

"Master Jolly, once we've found the dragon, are we going to slaughter it next?" A knight asked.

"Then it's up to me to see how I feel......" said the one-armed Jolly lightly.

However, a shadow crossed their faces, everyone's eyes turned to the sky, and they heard the sound of wings waving, and high in the sky, a giant dragon flew over the Dragonstone, a living dragon!

Above all of them, the dragon changed direction, red obscured from the sun, its scales were red, its eyes, horns, and the back of its spine were blood-red, it was huge, its wings spread from the tip to the root, it was like a red jade, it flapped its wings, the sound was like a thunderclap, and then the flames engulfed a rock, and the red flames spewed out, and even standing far away could feel the baptism of heat.

"The gods are above! We've found the dragon! It's a red dragon! One of the knights cried out in surprise, and when he came back to his senses, the dragon was already far away.

"Shall we move on?" The other knight asked.

"Why not? The dragon seemed to be a little afraid of us. The one-armed Jolly walked forward again.

"Are we really going to slaughter that monster?" The other asked in a trembling voice, and when he saw such a behemoth with his own eyes, he had already thought of retreating.

"Then it's up to me to see how I feel......," said the one-armed Jolly, as if he could decide the dragon's life or death at any time.

At a very young age, these knights had heard all the legends about dragons, and the knights loved the legends of dragons, which were raging with rage, blood dragons dancing wildly, countless people who had been devoured by dragons, and songs were sung in countless villages and kingdoms, and people had lived under the terror of dragons until the brave dragon slayer saved them.

As far as they knew, dragons were never afraid of people, even if it was just a baby dragon the size of a cow or sheep, and it was just as easy to eat them.

Later, for unknown reasons, dragons gradually became extinct in the world, and if a person claims to have seen a flying dragon, it is better to throw him into the sea to sober up, and someone once said that there is no greater miracle in this world.

Finding the dragon and slaying it has always been one of the lifelong dreams of every brave knight.

The dragon has a strong body, a long, thick neck, a horned or frilly head, sharp teeth, and a long tail, and it walks with four strong steps, flying with a pair of giant wings that resemble batwings, and its body is covered with scales to protect its body. Its eyes have four layers of eyelids, the inner three of which are transparent to protect the eyes from damage, and the ears can be opened and closed, but not all dragons have outer ears with sharp and sharp teeth that usually bend inward in order to tear apart the prey.

Dragon's eyesight is at least twice as much as that of humans, usually dragons have 4 times the vision of humans in dim light, twice as much vision as humans under normal light, and can see in the dark, this is the dark vision of dragons, hearing and intelligence are similar to humans, but they can distinguish the key details in the noise, even newborn dragons will have stronger hearing than normal people, its senses are acute, it can sense invisible objects moving, dragons can fly, walk and swim, and some can breathe in water.

Some dragons get older, their scales will gradually become larger and thicker, as hard as metal, the dragon's pupils will fade with age, the oldest dragon has eyes like lava balls, dragons build their nests in caves deep underground, which is filled with the smell of sulfur, but dragons always have a higher resting place, everything below can be seen in their eyes, dragons prefer carnivores, especially human children, once the dragon finds a target, it will immediately decide whether to attack, if it attacks, A viable tactic is immediately chosen, claws and bites are used against weaker opponents, flamespew is only used against strong enemies, and some dragons have a short temper and treacherous personality, they have deep eye sockets, and the skin around the corners and cheekbones gradually degenerates, and as they age, these scales become larger, thicker, and darker, making it easier for dragons to hide in swamps.

Those dragons with blue bodies are easily recognizable, with huge ears and a single horn on the tip of their noses as their characteristics, the scales of blue dragons vary in color from sky blue to deep indigo, their outer skin often makes a fine cracking sound due to electricity, this effect is greatly enhanced when angry, blue dragons often hide in the desert sand and stones, only a little head is exposed, or fly over the desert, the color of their bodies blends with the sky, and the green dragon is very intelligent, but the teeth of the jaws and raised horn crown, Fully revealing their aggressive nature, as the green dragon ages, their scales will become larger and lighter, and the color will change to emerald green, so that they can better integrate into the environment of the forest, the green dragon will build its nest in the forest, for them, the older and larger the forest, the more suitable it is, the green dragon likes to live in caves on cliffs or mountainsides, their nests will exude a pungent smell, it is easy to identify, this dragon eats everything.

But every story about dragons is different, and all dragons in ancient legends have individual racial differences, not just a single dragon.

Some are full of power, some are full of wisdom, some are huge, covering the sky and the sun, some are as small as bees and butterflies, some are just like birds and beasts that can be seen everywhere, some of them are good at flying, some are good at running, some are good at stealing, not all dragons can fly, some dragons are even afraid of flying, some love to live on the top of the cold mountains, some nest in volcanoes, some hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, some are quiet in the depths of an ordinary lake, some dragons are very hot in their stomachs, and often spew flames, And some dragons are cold and abnormal, will spit ice or water, others strange dragons can even make thunder or lightning, rain acid or spew venom, and even use their wings to roll up the wind, perhaps because of the power of some dragons is terrifying, but no matter how violent and ferocious the dragon is, it has its own unique wisdom and heritage, if you can see a dragon that has just caused the sky to fall apart when you see the gentle gaze of your dragon egg, you will be so surprised that you will be speechless.

"If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer the dragons." Someone once said so.

Perhaps, this is not just the whole lore about dragons......
