Since the other party is willing to set conditions, it means there is room for maneuver.
“I have a trustworthy knight named Vic,” Lance Sanks said. “He is imprisoned in the upper part of the snow mountain, which is under the surveillance of the Golden Tree forces. They are not Rhodel’s knights, but another group, and I cannot go near them. If you are willing to rescue him, I will take you to the snowfield.”
"Huh?" A-Tu was taken aback. "But wasn't Viktor already..."
She looked at Lu Ye, and even through the bottle cap, her eyes were full of helplessness.
"That's just an illusion!" Lu Ye couldn't help but remind A Tui.
This guy's memory is a real mystery!
"You've seen Vic?" Lance Sanx immediately realized this.
“Yes…” Lu Ye took out Vic’s spear. “We’ve already seen him once before, or rather, his phantom.”
With Lu Ye's explanation, Lance Sanx understood why Vic's gun was in Lu Ye's hands.
“No wonder…” Lance Sanx sighed softly, “After all, he really likes his finger witch. Getting infected with madness for a witch isn’t something worth pondering.”
“The Finger Witch…” A-Tui pondered.
Then again, I've never seen a real, living witch.
Although Melina fulfills the duties of a witch, she is not a witch!
“That’s quite rare,” Smarag said. “The Finger Witch is supposed to be used by two fingers to monitor these Faded Ones who were abandoned by the Supreme Will and Marica, but I never expected that someone would fall so deeply in love with her!”
“But… if two people truly love each other, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, is it?” A-Tui couldn’t help but want to refute.
"Are they truly in love?" Smarag laughed.
The smile that appeared on that childlike face was tinged with sarcasm.
“Lance Sanks mentioned Vic to us,” Smarag said. “Vic was a Dragonlight Knight. He learned Red Lightning and earned the title of Dragonlance. He originally hoped to become the third King of Elden after Goughre and Radagan, but he backed down at the crucial step.”
"Is it because of 'maniacal fire'?" Lu Ye said, having thought of that.
This is not hard to guess.
As mentioned before, the Golden Tree has thorns that refuse to let you in; to enter it and repair the magic ring, you must first burn the Golden Tree.
Based on the description of Vic's spear, we know that this spear possesses the power of mad fire.
Looking back at that battle, Vic's armor also showed deep burn marks on his fingers, most likely caused by Mad Fire.
But Lu Ye wasn't quite sure what the connection was between the maniacal fire and the burning tree.
“Hmm, it seems you know a little.” Smarag nodded and said, “However, your answer is incomplete. When Vic arrived in the royal city and came to the path leading to the interior of the Golden Tree above the Queen’s boudoir, he found that the Golden Tree had thorns that refused to let him go. This was the Golden Tree’s internal resistance. Although the restoration of the magic ring was what that dog of a Supreme Will wanted, burning the tree was an absolutely intolerable crime for the Golden Law, which was based on the Golden Tree.”
“However… although the Golden Tree doesn’t want to be burned, the Supreme Will desires the restoration of the Elden Ring even more. And the witch’s mission is to assist the Faded Ones in restoring the Elden Ring, so Vic’s witch wanted to sacrifice herself to burn the tree, but Vic wouldn’t allow it… Incidentally, the rule set by the Double Finger that requires two Great Runes to enter the Royal City is also related to Vic,” Smarag said.
"What?" A-Tui was stunned. "So all the trouble we went through wandering around the border was because of Vic?"
“That’s right!” Smarag sat on Ame’s lap, his little feet swaying proudly.
“But he didn’t burn the tree in the end, and I’ve already seen the witch’s body,” Lu Ye said.
“That’s right, the burning of the Golden Tree requires extinguished flames as a kindling,” Smarag said. “Vic is unwilling, but his witch is against it because it goes against her mission. So you see, no matter how much Vic loves his witch, his Finger Witch’s heart always belongs to Twofinger. If you insist on considering this love, then I have nothing to say.”
“Enough, Smarag,” Lance Sanx said softly. “I’ll finish the rest. Vic didn’t want his witch to become the spark, so he somehow found the Mad Three Fingers and was given the Mad Fire. But the Mad Fire wasn’t something he could control, and he ultimately lost to it mentally and went mad. His witch also died in the Tranquility Church next to the Great Elevator, committing suicide on a chair.”
“So…the witch committed suicide?” A-Tui murmured.
“Because of their existence, they have no mission!” Smarag said. “Don’t forget, they are the Finger Witches, the Finger Witches. Vic was just a tool for her to achieve her mission.”
"Then...doesn't the witch have any feelings for Vic at all?" Ame asked in a low voice.
She felt sorry for Vic, who had given so much but still couldn't win the witch's heart.
“I see,” Lu Ye nodded. “I think I understand what you were saying earlier. The reason why Two Fingers set up a rule in the royal city that only people with two large runes could enter was so that someone would go looking for Madfire.”
“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Lance Sanx sighed softly. “Actually, I’m partly responsible for Vic’s successful reception of the Mad Flame. After the Battle of the Royal City ended, the dragons and the knights of Rodel began to befriend each other. It was the honeymoon period between the Golden Family and the Dragon Clan, and Vic learned Dragon Lightning from me.”
Good heavens... it really was Gu Long who personally taught him, Lu Ye muttered to himself.
Lu Ye had his suspicions when Vic first unleashed the red lightning, since the lightning used by ordinary Rodel Knights was infused with the Golden Law and had a golden quality.
“Later, it was Griffith and the Faded One who were banished by Marica, but Vic was not,” Lance Sanx said. “He was under my protection and remained in the borderlands as a dragon knight even after losing his blessing. At that time, because of the Faded One’s banishment, the population of the royal city decreased sharply, which gave him the opportunity to become familiar with the royal city. That’s why he was able to infiltrate the royal city smoothly and find Madfire later.”
“However, there must be someone guiding him behind the scenes,” Lance Sanks said. “The royal city is a very complicated place. Without guidance, it would be impossible for Vic to find and receive the Mad Fire in such a short time.”
“Wait, what if Vic has already gone mad?” Lu Ye said. “Wouldn’t saving him be a waste of time?”
“But I didn’t agree to this just because you’re cute.” Lance Sanks smiled slightly. “Someone told me before that you would definitely come to find me. As long as I send you to the snowfield, he will agree to give me the item to suppress the mad fire. I’ve watched Vic grow up step by step. He is like my child, my beloved knight. If I have the chance to save him, I will do my best.”
"You already knew?"
Lu Ye's mind tensed up instantly.
He will seek out Agil and Smarag precisely because he lacks sufficient runes.
But some people anticipated all of this.
This means that someone has been observing them.
It is not the supreme will and the two fingers, but another different force... or rather, an individual.
Perhaps, long ago, Ah Tui and I had already been targeted by an "invisible entity"!
Chapter 658 The Method of Shapley
Moreover, Lu Ye and A Tui's movements were also anticipated.
The fact that the other party anticipated that he would come to find Akiel means that the other party knew that the Great Rune was not in his hands.
"Then, can you tell us about that person?" A-Tui asked cautiously.
“I’ve never met that person,” Lance Sanx said. “They just left me a text message, but I felt it was worth a try.”
"To trust a stranger so much, that's what you call... you know," Smarag said lazily, "the mentality of a mother desperate to save her child!"
Despite saying that, Smarag didn't seem very nervous.
Regardless of the other party's motives, she seemed to have confidence in Lance Sanx's abilities.
However, Lu Ye felt that the reason why the other party was able to remain calm was because he was the one who saved Vic, and the risk that Lance Sanders himself took was actually not high.
After all, she only escorted him to the snowfield.
Vic is imprisoned near the top of Giant's Mountain, where the guards might call for help if they detect a dragon, and in the worst-case scenario, the Gailid incident could repeat itself.
Therefore, Lance Sanx cannot personally go to rescue them.
She explained what she knew.
As for whether or not to do it, Lance Sanx left the choice entirely to Lu Ye and A Tui.
“Okay, let’s go.” Lu Ye said without hesitation.
Regardless of the monitor's intentions, I was prepared to deal with it.
Lance Sanx nodded, a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Lu Ye's bravery made her like him even more.
As for why it's "again," it's because from the first moment he saw Lu Ye, Lance Sanx felt that this young man was exactly what he considered aesthetically pleasing.
Among the Royal City's Rhodel Knights, there are many handsome and dashing figures, but Lu Ye is the first one who made the heart of the old virgin dragon pound at first sight.
"Then it's settled."
As Lance Sanx spoke, he suddenly began to undress.
Wow!
A-Tui's eyes widened in disbelief.
Why did you take off your clothes without warning?
"Hey! Your health doesn't allow you to look!!"
What are you so excited about?
"Close your eyes! Close your eyes! Don't look!"
At the same time, Smarag and Yakiel jumped off Ame's knees, and the two young dragon girls grabbed Lu Ye's trouser legs, trying to climb up.
However, given their speed, it would take Lu Ye enough time to climb onto Lu Ye's shoulder and blindfold him to make a quick sketch of Lance Sanks.
The sacrificial robe fell to the ground, gradually revealing the pure white and majestic body.
It is a combination of feminine beauty and strength.
It's hard to imagine that this body, which perfectly combines sexiness and strength, is hidden beneath that old priest's robe.
Lance Sanx slowly walked forward, looking up at the sky.
Then, her body transformed rapidly, which was not a pleasant visual experience, but it was certainly shocking!
Lance Sanks took a deep breath, as if inhaling all the air in the world. Her body swelled and deformed, and sharp, thick scales emerged from beneath her skin. Then, sharp bone spurs protruded from the surface of her body, and the brown scales snapped shut with a loud thud...
Not only that, her muscles and bones are also deforming; she is turning into... a dragon!
Smarag and Yakir watched this scene with a hint of envy in their eyes.
They were like this before, it's all because of someone...
Sensing the gazes of the two young dragon girls, Lu Ye lifted them off his trouser legs and placed them on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I will definitely turn you back later."
Lu Ye glanced at the sacrificial robes not far away and picked them up.
"Would you like me to help you put this away?" he asked the imposing creature before him.
After all, the fact that he was willing to take off his transformation suit proves that he still has feelings for this outfit.
Lance Sanks nodded, then bent down, gesturing for Lu Ye and A Tui to climb onto her back.
"Um, is it alright?" A-Tui asked.
After all, climbing onto the mother dragon's back without permission is tantamount to...
“It doesn’t matter, or do you want me to carry you over with my claws?” Lance Sanx retorted.
It seems she doesn't care about this matter.
