Chapter 100 [The mythical beast left by Aragorn] (Part 2)
Du Wei felt that he was frightened.
Although this thing looked like a coffin, Du Wei did not expect that there would be a "living thing" inside.
This thing has been stored here for nearly a thousand years since the time of Aragorn. Even if there is something in it, Du Wei thinks it is probably some treasure left by Aragorn, or some kind of legendary artifact? A powerful magic prop?
Or is it the legendary sword of the king?
But now, something suddenly spoke in the coffin!
After regaining his composure, Du Wei gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's a human or a ghost!"
The other party replied (neither human nor ghost).
Du Wei started to sweat coldly: "Then what are you?"
(Not a thing.)
Haha! Du Wei wanted to laugh a few times, but he couldn't laugh.
Just imagine, in the mysterious Dragon Clan territory, in a cold and dark secret room, there is a sarcophagus that has been stored for thousands of years... If you add these elements together, would you be able to laugh?
Du Wei calmed down and began to recall the contents of the prophecy in the old magician's hand...
I will receive Aragorn's legacy, I will draw the sword of kings...what else?
Ah, yes. The prophecy said that we will also get help from mythical beasts!
The mythical beast left behind by Aragorn?
Du Wei felt a little nervous as he looked at the sarcophagus in front of him.
Divine beast? What could it be? Dragon? It's very possible that this is the territory of the dragon clan... But Aragorn wouldn't leave a dragon for himself, right? It seems unlikely.
So, Phoenix? Behemoth? Yamata no Orochi? But these things cannot fit in such a small sarcophagus.
With a soft voice, Du Wei said in a deep voice: "Are you sure I can open this sarcophagus? That old dragon said it. As soon as I open it, I will be dead."
(I said I can deal with it, so please let me out.)
Let it out...
Du Wei hesitated for a moment, but he thought that the "mythical beast" left by Aragon would not disturb him, right? Moreover, it was already in a dead situation at this moment, and apart from that, there seemed to be no other turning point.
After praying silently, Du Wei sighed in his heart: Aragorn, Aragorn, I will trust you again for now!
After saying that, Du Wei rolled up his sleeves, walked to the sarcophagus, held the edge of the coffin lid with both hands, took a deep breath, and pushed it away...
There was a sound of rocks rubbing against each other. Du Wei didn't have the strength to fight, and he had just vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, so he was inevitably weak. After trying his best, he could only move the coffin lid half way. He looked inside again...
…
A faint light shone into the coffin, revealing the contents inside. There were some messy things piled up in the coffin, including bottles and jars. There were also some boxes made of unknown materials.
In addition, there is a "living creature" about less than one meter in length, which is struggling to sit up in an almost clumsy posture. Unfortunately, the coffin lid has been moved too small, and it is too fat.
But it was difficult to squeeze his body out. Two bean-sized eyes blinked at Du Wei, and his pointed mouth made a human voice. And his tone seemed to be very elegant and polite:
"Excuse me, could you please move this thing further?"
After seeing the appearance of this thing clearly, Du Wei felt like he wanted to go crazy!
His fingers trembled, and he endured the madness as he pointed at the thing squeezed out of the coffin: "You! You! You are what Aragorn left behind..."
This is what Aragorn left behind...the mythical beast?
Divine beast?
This guy is about one meter long, fat all over, with pure black fur on his back. His plump belly has a snow-white appearance. His sharp beak is reddish orange, and there is a faint orange ring under his neck...
People in this world may be surprised by the appearance of this mythical beast... but Du Wei is definitely very familiar with it!
What the hell is this damn "mythical beast"? When it completely emerged from the coffin lid, it stood on the sarcophagus, shook its wings gracefully, and then raised its neck hard, as if it were an aristocratic gentleman.
When Du Wei and Du Wei looked at each other...
This... this fucking thing, actually...
It’s actually a penguin!!
A penguin!!!
"Thank you, thank you for letting me out." The penguin's attitude was very elegant, and he nodded slowly towards Du Wei, and even sighed: "I have slept in there for too long...
…But I can’t always get out.”
Du Wei stared at the "mythical beast" in front of him, and then said a dry sentence in his mouth:
"You are a penguin."
This mythical beast seemed very happy and excited after hearing this. It looked at Du Wei in surprise and waved its ridiculously short wings vigorously: "Yes! That's right! Thank God! You actually know my name! Except for Aragorn.
, others call me 'ugly weird bird'! But don't those guys know? We penguins are the most elegant birds!"
All right!
Du Wei added a definition to this mythical beast in his heart:
A talking penguin.
But so what? It’s not just a penguin!
Du Wei felt that he was wrong.
It was really a mistake! The mistake was that I should not have believed in that damn Aragorn! I actually thought that the mythical beast he left behind could deal with the leader of the Dragon Clan, that powerful old dragon!
He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.
Can you expect a penguin (well, a talking penguin) to take on a powerful, raging dragon that lives for thousands of years?
"You seem to be disappointed to see me?" Penguin's elegant voice woke up Du Wei who was thinking randomly: "I can see your expression, you seem to be disappointed to see me."
"No, I'm not disappointed at all." Du Wei said with a straight face: "I am desperate! Desperate!"
"Why?"
"Why?" Du Wei suddenly shouted, waving his arms and shouting: "Why! You ask me why? Okay! That bullshit prophecy said that I am Aragorn's missionary! I will get him
Legacy! Awaken the mythical beast he left behind! Get a king's sword! But now? That terrifying, powerful dragon trapped me here! As soon as I open this damn sarcophagus, it will kill me.
!As for me, I could have lived a few more days, as long as I didn't open this thing! I still had at least a few days to think of ways and countermeasures! But I listened to you! I opened it! I thought Aragorn at least
Can you leave me something useful! Even a powerful king's sword? Or a powerful magic item? Or, at least the so-called earth beast left to me is a powerful helper! But what about now? Old
Oh my god! What did I get?"
At the end of Du Wei's words, his voice was almost moaning: "I am about to face the butcher's knife of the Dragon King, the strongest of the dragon clan... But where is the helper beside me? There is only one talking penguin!! What the hell is this world!
"
"Understood."
This elegant bird jumped down from the sarcophagus, stood next to Du Wei and circled twice. It gently nodded its head with its ridiculous short wings, as if thinking, and then glanced at Du Wei:
"Please calm down first. Anger is not good for a person's heart. Before you get a heart attack, can you listen to what I have to say?"
"Tell me." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "At least I have never seen a talking penguin in my life."
"First of all, my original owner was Aragorn, but he left me here and locked me up. He said he wanted me to have a good sleep. Then he said that he would die after he left, and then he took me away from here.
What is released is my new master." The penguin looked at Duwei and spat out these words from his long beak: "Although you look very graceless. You don't look like an elegant gentleman, but forget it...
...At least you freed me. You will be my master from now on."
"Thank you..." Du Wei curled his lips weakly and said, "Then we, master and servant, can go to see Aragorn together in a while."
"When others are talking, it is very rude to interrupt rashly. Has no one ever taught you what manners is?" The penguin was a little dissatisfied. Then it made a sound similar to a human cough from its beak, and it cleared it.
Then he continued in an unhurried voice: "I can guarantee that what you said will not happen. That old dragon... I think I have a way to deal with it."
Du Wei stopped talking and looked at this guy suspiciously.
Maybe... there is a glimmer of hope?
Although it's just a penguin, at least it's what Aragorn left behind...and it can talk and live for thousands of years...maybe it has some extraordinary abilities?
"Do you...do you have very powerful magic?" Du Wei asked cautiously.
To be continued...
