The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 724 The Guardian of the Ringwraiths

“It’s over… It feels like a promising start but a disappointing finish. That dragon still won’t give in!” Lydalias’s hoarse voice echoed softly.

"No one, except for the Demon King of yesteryear, has been able to make the evil dragon race bow down! Not even the Dragon Emperor..." Sernar sneered.

"Aren't we going to... retrieve the dragon egg?" Lydalias asked, puzzled.

"Are you going to confront that dragon rider head-on?" Sernar asked sarcastically, the soul fire in his eyes flickering.

"Forget it, let's go!" Lydalias chose to follow his heart.

……

“Let’s go find Weiss! He has your scent on him, you should be able to find him!” Caslo turned to look at his dragon.

“Okay!” Kaldo nodded.

“Let’s go, it’s all over!” Caslo shook his head and sighed.

"The end? No, I think this is just the beginning! Even the old relics of the War of Wrath have crawled out, and the situation is getting more and more chaotic!" Kaldo shook his head.

“Yes! All sorts of monsters and demons have come out…” Caslo also felt deeply moved. After all, dragons had not walked on the Middle-earth for a long time, and people had long forgotten the fear of being dominated by dragons. Even a small mercenary group dared to provoke dragons and steal dragon eggs… A fourth-tier knight leading a group of professionals was so crazy. If their leader were a sixth-tier professional in the future, wouldn’t they be unstoppable?

“The whole of Middle-earth is now shrouded in shadow, and we are like fallen leaves in the waves, not knowing where we are going!” Kaldor said solemnly. It was already absurd enough that his opponent was Sauron and his minions, but now even Morgoth’s minions, who had long since turned to ashes, had crawled out like ghosts. All he could say was that Middle-earth had good feng shui, it really was a nurturing place for people!

"Let's go, let's find my cheap apprentice first! Although his dragon might can drive away other magical beasts and orcs, it's a provocation and a declaration of war to powerful magical beasts!" Caslo said, mounting his dragon saddle. Although the probability of encountering powerful magical beasts in this outer area is not high, the Dark Forest is still one of the forbidden zones of the Central Plains, and high-level magical beasts could be encountered at any time, so we can't let Weiss stay alone for too long.

……

"Master! Help! I've encountered a Ringwraith!" Before Caslo had even landed properly, he saw his young apprentice tumbling and crawling towards him, his eyes filled with terror and tears, clinging tightly to Caslo's skirt armor, sobbing and crying.

"Ringwraith? Are you alright..." Caslo wanted to slap himself as soon as he finished speaking. If he were alright, he wouldn't be seeing Weiss right now!
“There is indeed the chilling aura of a Ringwraith! A Ringwraith appeared beside him!” Kaldor’s dragon eyes narrowed, then he used his azure dragon power to envelop Viss and remove the Ringwraith’s aura.

"What did the Ringwraith do to you? Tell me anything that's wrong, the Ringwraith might use some underhanded tricks to annoy you!" Caslo frowned, looking at Weiss. "This... he made a contract with me..." Weiss timidly held up the dragon egg in his arms, after all, even if he didn't understand anything, he knew the value of the dragon egg in his arms. This thing could create a dragon knight! Now it was bound to him in a daze...

“???” Caslo and Kaldo exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and helplessness in each other’s eyes. They recognized the words Ringwraith, help, contract, and dragon egg individually, but why did they seem so unfamiliar when put together?

“Indeed! He has a contract with this dragon egg! Is the Ringwraith so kind? Are Ringwraiths now all about helping others?” Caslo’s face twisted in bewilderment.

"He also told me to ask the teacher for the dragon's crystal, saying that the dragon crystal would be good for the dragon..." Weiss pointed to the dragon egg in his hand.

"That damned bastard! He actually signed a slave contract with him!" Before Caslo could speak, Kaldo started wailing. Caslo looked at Kaldo, whose eyes were bloodshot, with a puzzled expression.

"Do you know what kind of contract that Ringwraith made with them? It's a slave contract! He actually made a slave contract with a noble dragon! He..." Kaldor, who was of the same mind as Caslo, saw Caslo's confusion and explained through gritted teeth.

"..." Caslo instantly stood at attention and shut his mouth. Good heavens, signing a slave contract with a dragon... This is even more suicidal than fighting Sauron one-on-one! This guy will be hunted down by the entire dragon race! The severity is second only to Roland's contract with the golden dragon Doss, except that this contract is with an evil demon dragon. The dragon race would only lose face and at most send silver dragons to hunt him down, but in Roland's case, he would be hunted down by the entire dragon race of Dragon Island...

"It's just a descendant of an evil dragon, otherwise... Hmph!" Kaldo exhaled a breath of hot air, his eyes filled with anger. Considering that it was a dragon and his knight disciple, Kaldo decided to turn a blind eye and not delve into the matter.

"By the way, stop humming! Go check if the Ringwraiths have tampered with Whis's body!" Caslo kicked the arrogant Kaldo.

"Alright, I'll help him since you begged me!" Kaldo was sharp-tongued, but he acted swiftly, quickly using gentle dragon power to examine him.

"Huh? What's this?" Kaldor's expression turned somewhat strange.

"The Ringwraiths left a curse? Let's go! Go back and find Yunfeng!" Caslo panicked as soon as he heard this. A curse could mean the end for everyone! He still vividly remembered the plague curse from last time!
"Don't panic! It's not a curse! I can't quite put my finger on it, but this energy... it's so damn like a knight's protective power! Huh? Are you kidding me? You're a Ringwraith's bastard! This is the knight's skill, Guardian!" Kaldor stared at Weiss with a shocked expression, his claws twitching unconsciously, as if he had an urge to slap him to death.

"What the hell?" Caslo, as if he had seen a ghost, grabbed Weiss's arm in shock. The dragon force immediately began to move and quickly found the evil energy on Weiss's wrist.

"It's the Guardian! The Guardian of the Black Knights!" Caslo was somewhat dazed. He looked into the depths of the forest and then at Whis, completely baffled by the Ringwraiths' intentions. As for Kaldor's claim about the Ringwraiths' bastard children, that was utter nonsense! The Ringwraiths had no descendants; where would they get bastard children?
"Forget it, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore. Let's go, kid! I've avenged your grandfather's death, but as for the blood debt owed to the orcs, you'll have to collect it yourself! Let's go home!" Picking up Weiss and holding him in his arms, Caslo casually patted an object onto Weiss's chest.

"Take it. This is something only you can use. It's just decoration for anyone else. Keep it safe and don't lose it!"
