The Law of the Silent Gentleman

Chapter 112 – Black Crane Ship 5

“That is how the matter!”

The furious roar shook the bridge of the “Black Crane Boat”. King Clement beat the round platform angrily, so that the phantom floating above was blurred for a few seconds.

“According to the monitoring results, it is a dragon. We are being attacked by a dragon.” Phantom said.

“Nonsense! I’m not blind!” Clement slammed the round platform again, “That’s the white dragon **** Reshtani! The dragon **** who assisted the two great emperors Omaran and Darion to ascend the throne! Why did it attack me! I am the most loyal believer of Dragon God!”

The white dragon’s body is not as huge as the “Black Crane’s Boat”, but its dexterity and speed are far superior to the latter. It deftly circled the ship’s guns and struck at the rear of the ship with fangs and teeth. When the “Black Crane Boat” turned its muzzle to aim at it, it quickly left the battlefield. Although the airship had powerful firepower, it couldn’t grab half of the white dragon’s scale at all. It circled the airship like a swift blizzard, tempting it to fight itself in vain.

No wonder the ancient tribes owned so many “Black Crane Boats”, but they still couldn’t resist the dragon tribe. “Legendary Writer” Reshtani is one of the dragon gods who is not good at fighting, but even he can easily subdue a flying ship. “Destroyer Dominator”, no matter how many “Black Crane Boats” can match it.

“Attack it, ‘Black Crane Boat’! No mercy!” the king instructed. His guards all showed expressions of fear.

“Your Majesty, are you going to attack the White Dragon God?” a guard asked, “That’s disrespectful!”

“Don’t you understand the intention of the dragon god?” King Clement said proudly, “Reshtani, the writer of legends, has always protected those heroes who have left their names in history. If I defeat it today, wouldn’t it be Can I become the greatest person in the world? It must have shown up to help me for my achievements. It would rather sacrifice itself than help me make achievements…”

All the guards exchanged glances suspiciously, but Clement was the only one who was full of confidence and believed in the explanation that popped up in his mind.

Giuliano thought the king had gone completely mad.

The white dragon hovered gracefully around the “Black Crane Boat”, even though the flying boat used many weapons capable of emitting destructive rays, none of them hit it once. When it approached the flying ship, Giuliano clearly saw a person crouching between its ferocious horns. He once thought that Emperor Darion had come back to life and was fighting side by side with the White Dragon God, but he soon recalled the sad memories of the witches on Mausoleum Island. No, there is no way Darion will ever fight alongside Rashtani again. He fears it and hates it. And it hated him too.

The attention of the king and all the guards was on the white dragon. Enzo bumped Giuliano with the shoulder and told him the time had come. Giuliano couldn’t wait. As the white dragon swooped down again, the sharp claws hit the flying boat hard. The hull vibrated violently, and the guards staggered under the impact.

“superior!”

With a loud shout, Enzo broke free from the ropes that bound his hands. The guard closest to them couldn’t react in time, and his throat was cut by the assassin. Another guard lunges at Giuliano. He ducked to avoid the swung sword and slipped past the guards. Just as the guard was about to chase him, En Zuo jumped up to him as silently as a cat, and stabbed the dagger into his heart.

The guard’s sword became Enzo’s trophy. The Reticent seized the sword with his left hand, blocked the weapon of the third guard, and sent the dagger into the opponent’s abdomen with his right hand. He kicked away the lifeless body without even pulling out the dagger. At the same time, Giuliano tripped over a guard who had come to stop them, then got up quickly and stabbed the dagger vertically into the man’s throat.

Blood sprayed all over him. He basks in the heat of death to meet his next foe. The guard looked very young, about his age, and Giuliano couldn’t help feeling compassionate. The young guard raised his long sword high and slashed at him. His movements were powerful but lacked flexibility. Giuliano rolled on the spot, avoiding the blade, and then kicked the opponent’s calf. The young guard let out a cry of pain, and Giuliano hit him precisely on the back of the head with the hilt of the dagger. He rolled his eyes and passed out.

The remaining four guards shouted “Guards” and surrounded King Clement. Enzo threw the dead guard’s sword to Giuliano, and the two, back to back, joined forces against the remaining enemies. They have practiced countless times, and they work together intimately, as if one soul controls two bodies. Giuliano hit a guard in the calf, Enzo took the opportunity to decapitate him, and then used momentum to rush to the next enemy. He became the bait and successfully attracted the attack of the guards. Giuliano took advantage of his unawares to go around behind and ended his life. Before his body fell, Enzo snatched his sword from his hand, and the two weapons crossed in the air, drawing a silver arc, cutting the body of another guard.

The last guard, King Clement’s personal bodyguard, is also the captain of the guard and has the privilege of speaking to the king. He stood by the king like a dragon guarding the treasure, and his posture of holding the sword was impeccable, even Enzo could hardly find the flaw. It seems that he is the most skilled in martial arts among all the guards.

However, this loyal guard can block the visible sharp blade, but cannot block the invisible shadow. A pitch-black shadow slipped by his side like a dark nightmare, turning into mist and covering his upper body. The guard groped his neck in horror, as if something was strangling him by the throat. Then the black mist dissipated, and his body fell down. There was no scar on his whole body, only a bloodstain on his neck that was thinner than a strand of hair.

The elf Urasha stepped out of the black mist. He was pale and out of breath. Transforming into black mist and manipulating the invisible blade consumed a lot of his energy. Fortunately, all the guards were down. Except for the three intruders in the hall, only the frightened King Clement was left.

“Ancient race!” The king pointed at Orasha and opened his mouth in vain. “Are you here to kill me? Because I took your ship?”

“No.” Oraxia stared at the king quietly, “If you are willing to surrender control of the ‘Black Crane Boat’, I can spare you from dying.”

The king leaned his back on the round platform, and his luxurious dress was soaked in cold sweat.

“‘Black Crane Boat’, quickly destroy these three intruders!” He ordered the flying ship hoarsely, “Are there no weapons inside the ship! Kill them! I order you to kill them!”

“As ordered. Activate the laser defense device inside the ship.”

A thin circular tube protruded from the ceiling, shaped like a flying ship’s cannon. Undoubtedly, its function is also very similar to artillery. Seeing that the round tube was about to emit deadly light, Giuliano pushed Orrasha away, approached the king, and mercilessly pierced the king’s abdomen with the dagger.

“This is returned to you for the people of Vanessa!”

A “clack” grunt came from the king’s throat. He grabbed the dagger and tried to pull it out, but Giuliano relentlessly shoved it hard into him. The king’s body fell backwards, his head limply tilted to one side, and his body collapsed like a puppet with broken strings. He slowly sat down on the ground along the round platform, leaving a bright red bloodstain on the round platform.

Oraxia frowned slightly, but did not pursue the crime of Giuliano’s unauthorized actions. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the anger of the Reticent Apprentice.

Without delay for a second, he immediately pressed down on the round table and said to the phantom above: “King Clement is dead! Follow my orders!”

Phantom paused for a moment, then replied immediately: “Database search results: matches the entry ‘Aurasha’. Welcome, Priest Aurasha, follower of the God of Waves and Particles. Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Stop attacking! Put away all weapons! Leave Vanessa!”

“What is your destination?”

“Stop on the sea south of Vanessa, and wait for my further instructions.”

“As ordered.”

The “Black Crane Boat” turned to the south and quickly left the city that had been baptized by death. The white dragon also stopped attacking, but instead of leaving the flying ship, it flew south with it.

So on that day, the people of Vanessa saw a boy riding a white dragon ride the wind and fought fiercely with the terrifying “Black Crane Boat”. to the south. They don’t know what happened inside the flying ship, they don’t know the reason why the dragon suddenly appeared, and they don’t know the intricate grievances and hatreds behind the story. They only saw the hope of surviving after the catastrophe, the heavy responsibility of rebuilding their homeland, and all kinds of unimaginable or magnificent legends about the young dragon knight.

The “Black Crane Boat” landed on the sea.

Although made of metal, it is surprisingly light enough to float like a real boat. Bailong also landed. But it can’t float, so it can only stop on a reef close to the “Black Crane Boat”.

Through the light and shadow on the wall, Giuliano clearly saw the man lying on his stomach between the horns of the dragon. He was not surprised. Who else could it be but Antoine? Every time they encounter a crisis, this boy can always coincidentally appear by their side, sometimes helping them, sometimes dragging them into a worse quagmire. He and them are like light and shadow, day and night, and his participation is indispensable in every story.

Antoine turned pale with fright, and his body trembled like chaff. Oraxia stared at the white dragon in a daze, wondering what he was thinking. The amber eyes of the white dragon stared at them too. From the perspective of the white dragon, only the black shell of the flying ship can be seen, but Giuliano felt that its eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the shell and see them in the ship.

“‘Black Crane Boat’, can you convey our voice to the outsiders?” Auraxia asked.

Phantom replied: “Yes, this ship has an external loudspeaker device.”

The elf turned to look at Giuliano and Enzo, as if saying, “That’s your friend, why don’t you talk to him?”

Enzo stepped forward: “Antoine?”

The young man lying between the dragon’s horns hurriedly got up, looked at the “Black Crane Boat” in surprise, his eyes moved back and forth on the huge metal object.

“Enzo? This is Enzo’s voice! Where are you?”

“In the flying boat. King Muchania took the key of the ‘Black Crane Boat’ and manipulated it to attack Vanessa, but he has been killed by us. Now Auraxia has taken back the ‘Black Crane Boat’ of control.”

Antoine breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed. “Great…I thought the world was going to end…Are you all okay? Is Giuliano with you?”

“Yes, he’s there too. By the way, Antoine, that dragon…is that Rexi?”

The white dragon sat on the reef, its tail stirring the sea water boredly. “It is I, the Reticent.”

“Sure enough.” Enzo lowered his eyes, “I used to think that something was wrong with you, but I couldn’t tell what was wrong. Now I finally understand. White dragon Reshtani, is that the hero you chose?”

Antoine cried sadly: “What a hero! I don’t understand!”

Neither Bai Long nor En Zuo paid any attention to him, treating him like air.

“What are you planning?” Enzo squinted at Bailong with a cold tone.

“I am the writer of legends, recording great stories. If there is no one, I will make one. What else can I plan?”

“You want to put Antoine…!”

“Don’t worry, Reticent, he is my chosen one, and I will take good care of him.”

Antoine thumped the white dragon’s scales fiercely: “Hey! Don’t ignore me! I’m here!”

A sarcastic smile floated on the corner of Enzo’s mouth. “Maybe he doesn’t want your care.”

The white dragon spread its wings. Antoine was taken aback, and hurriedly lay down again.

“Farewell, Reticent, I will never forget the days I spent with you, but unfortunately, in my story—in all stories—you have no place.”

The huge white body rose into the sky, and the wind aroused by the wings echoed on the sea surface, setting off waves of waves, and even the moored black crane boat was slightly shaken by the tide.

“Don’t forget our agreement!” Bailong roared.

It flies up into the sky, passes through thick water vapor, and reaches above the clouds. Antoine let out a sigh of “wow-“. The sun shines on the ever-changing sea of clouds, dyeing the waves formed by the water vapor into gold. The sea of clouds rolled and surged under their feet, isolating that cruel world. Antoine thought to himself that the so-called kingdom of heaven was probably nothing more than that. He had never seen such a magnificent and vast scene. The boundless sea already dazzled him, and the sea of clouds in the sky surprised him even more. He almost forgot to pursue Leixi for deceiving them along the way.

“Where are we going?” he asked happily.

“Wherever you want to go, I will send you there. How about going back to Vanessa? People will greet you like a savior. You are a hero who saves the world.”

Thinking of the devastated city, Antoine’s heart sank.

“Don’t…don’t go back to Vanessa…” he muttered, “I’m not a hero, Ray…Reshtani, you know, I was never a hero. You made me like this.”

“Isn’t that your wish too?”

Antoine bowed his head deeply.

“It’s not like this…it’s not what I dreamed of…” His voice was crying, “I want to go home, Rexi, let me go home, I just want to go home…”
