Chapter 731 Dragon Flute
"Alright, now that he's accepted the name you gave him, you can imprint the contract into this dragon flute!" Caslo reminded the somewhat bewildered Weiss. After all, this child wasn't a descendant of the Dragon Rider family, nor a knight of the Imperial Dragon Knights, so it was perfectly normal for him not to know these things. It would be strange if an ordinary person knew how to contract a dragon.

"..." After hearing Caslo's words, Weiss was even more confused. He recognized every single word Caslo said, but he really didn't understand the sentence as a whole...

"I'll do it!" Vili shook his wings and looked at his knight with a slight smile. Although he had been inexplicably signed into a contract of servitude, having a knight who was like a blank sheet of paper seemed... not so bad?
Vili's dragon power emanated from his body, directly drawing in the two of them. Due to the contract, Vili's battle aura was automatically converted into dragon power of the same origin as the dragon. The two dragon powers intertwined to form an illusory contract, which was the very contract that Cenar had signed for him. Then, as if defying gravity, the dragon flute slowly flew towards the contract in mid-air and sucked it in with a whoosh. Immediately, a circle of fine runes appeared on the originally jade-white dragon flute! This meant that the dragon flute had officially taken effect!

……

"No? Your Highness, you still have the Dragon Flute?" Yun Feng, who had been holding it in the whole way back, couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Is it strange that I have a dragon flute? I am the King of Rome!" Roland said, brandishing his tiger skin and waving his banner.

"Is the Romanian King from a dragon rider family? I remember that dragon flutes are all controlled by the royal family, right? The royal family only bestows dragon flutes when a dragon rider family produces a dragon knight! After a dragon knight falls, the dragon flute is taken back by the royal family!" Yun Feng looked at Roland with a puzzled and incredulous expression.

"I understand! Your Romanian ancestors harbored rebellious intentions!" Yun Feng suddenly stammered, somewhat speechless. After all, the Romanian dynasty had many generations, and although they were all branches of the royal family, they were divided into many families. When one branch of the Romanian royal family died out, another branch of the royal family would take its place. Therefore, Yun Feng directed his suspicions towards Roland's cyber ancestors.

"..." Roland's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He couldn't very well tell Yun Feng that this was one of the useless, broken items he got from the system's daily check-in, could he? Oh well, a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. It's a fitting end for the Cyber ​​Ancestor to take the blame!
"Possessing a dragon flute is a serious crime! Your Romanian King's flute is truly impressive!" Yun Feng exclaimed sincerely. This was genuine praise. The royal family would keep one spare dragon flute for each royal family and a limited number of spare dragon flutes for each dragon rider family. Keeping any other dragon flute was illegal. As the king of the Romanian Kingdom, who was under the very nose of the empire, it was quite remarkable that he was able to keep an extra dragon flute under the surveillance of various institutions.

"Would you like to study a dragon flute?" Roland didn't answer but calmly took out a dragon flute from the system space and waved it in front of Yun Feng.

"Uh!" Yun Feng was stunned for a moment before he fell straight down from the sky. At the same time, the sixth-level beings accompanying him staggered in the air and almost flew into the air.

"This...this...these are all dragon flutes? Good heavens! Is the last Romanian king of the empire planning a rebellion?" Yun Feng stared at the jade-white dragon flute in Roland's hand, completely bewildered. His cerebellum seemed to shrink on the spot. Are you sure this was secretly hidden, or that he snatched it from the Lagrange Emperor by holding a knife to his neck?
"I don't know! Here, take one and play with it yourself!" Roland didn't explain. This thing was hard to explain. Having one or two more wouldn't be a problem, but Roland had hundreds of dragon flutes stockpiled. Even if you robbed the Lagrange royal family, you might not be able to find a hundred, let alone secretly hide them. After all, nearly half of these were in the hands of various dragon knights and other nobles. If Roland dared to take them out again, Yun Feng would probably start to doubt the legitimacy of the Lagrange royal family. After all, judging from this token representing the human-dragon contract, the Romanian royal family seemed to be the legitimate heir to the empire.

Flying in the sky, Yunfeng silently caught the dragon flute that Roland had casually tossed aside. He stared blankly at Roland's departing figure on his dragon. He just tossed it... He actually threw the dragon flute like that... Yunfeng was now deeply doubting himself. For the first time, he felt that the dragon flute was so cheap.

"Am I out of touch with the times, or is this era just too crazy?" Yun Feng scratched his head, stood in the air for a moment in a daze, then shook his head and caught up with the others.

"...I'll have the craftsmen forge your dragon saddle when we get back, but before that, you need to unite your dragon's will with your own! Don't forget that dragons and dragon riders are complementary! Over-reliance on dragons will only make you lose yourself in their power!" Caslo warned.

"Yes, teacher!" Weiss nodded earnestly.

“Every dragon knight grows up in battle. Few dragon knights are as lucky as you to contract a real dragon at such an innocent age. Youth means a lack of combat experience, and I bet you don’t have much combat experience either!” Caslo rubbed Weiss’s head and smiled.

“Yes!” Weiss nodded in agreement, after all, his combat experience was limited to catching rabbits and pheasants, and the only weapon he used was a hunting bow with a very low poundage.

“Next, I’ll show you some blood! When you decide to take up this sword, you’ll be accompanied not only by protection… but also by slaughter!” Caslo calmly patted Weiss on the shoulder and spoke slowly.

“Protect…killing…” Weiss carefully pondered the words, and suddenly felt a sense of responsibility weighing on his shoulders.

"Let's go home first. Everyone's exhausted after a whole night of running around!" Caslo said to Vess, looking at Vili who had recovered quite a bit of energy.

“Okay…” Weiss was caught in a dilemma after saying that. He didn’t know whether he should ride his own dragon back or ride Caslo’s dragon.

"Return your dragon to the dragon flute to rest, and I'll take you away!" Caslo saw through his concerns at a glance. However, a dragon without a saddle is not something an ordinary person can ride, and they might fall off if they're not careful. Caslo naturally didn't dare to let a novice dragon rider risk his life to take on such a challenge.

……

"Scouts spotted the dragon! Damn it! That dragon egg was stolen by that kingdom with dragon knights! They even used dragon crystals to hatch the baby dragon! It should have belonged to us!" Lydalias roared.

"There's no point in saying more now! Let's prepare for war! Those humans could besiege the city again at any moment!" Sernar glanced at him subtly, the soul fire in his eyes flickering eerily.

Oh no, I just realized I forgot to post yesterday's...
