Miao Anyun and the others naturally had no reason to refuse.
After receiving the permission, Partridge showed a smile on his face, looking very happy. He thanked everyone and then became solemn.
Miao Anyun looked at each other with his friends. Are you ready to recall the dragon clan? Thinking of this, several people quickly pricked up their ears. After all, sometimes tasks need to be completed by guessing the information given by NPCs. If you accidentally miss something and fail to complete the task, then there is really no place to cry.
"That happened a long, long time ago..." Partridge looked far away, looking at the blue sky above his head, as if he was looking at something through it. Having said this, Partridge paused. Not knowing what he had done, everyone found themselves plunged into darkness.
Almost as soon as I felt myself falling into darkness, the darkness that shrouded my eyes faded away. Then Miao Anyun realized that she had completely changed places. She quickly looked around and found that Benson, Carmen, Lu Jiamu, Qi Yuhan and Partridge were all still there, and she was relieved.
This is a beautiful place, different from the sacred white color of the Celestial Clan, and also different from the lush greenery of the Elf Clan. Strictly speaking, beauty cannot be described here.
They were now in a huge valley, with jagged rocks, high peaks, and steep cliffs, everything looked particularly majestic. The dazzling sunlight poured down from the sky, and from time to time, several huge figures flew by, their huge wings almost covering the sun.
"Roar!" The low voice of an unknown creature came from nowhere, with a strange sense of coercion that made people almost subconsciously surrender.
Miao Anyun turned his attention to the map. At this moment, the map was blank except for the following words written in ancient characters at the top -
[Memory·Dragon Valley]…
It seems that this is the location of the dragon clan of Partridge's memory. Miao Anyun was thoughtful.
"Kacha... Kacha..." Suddenly, the crisp sound of something breaking reached his ears, which immediately brought Miao Anyun back from his free thoughts, and he turned his attention to the source of the sound.
There was a cave on the steep cliff that was obviously man-made rather than naturally formed, and the sound came from there. However, the cave was on a rock wall at least five hundred meters above the ground, and Miao Anyun could not clearly see what was going on there.
At this time, Partridge's childish voice sounded again.
"At that time, I was just a young dragon that had just hatched from a dragon egg..."
With a flash of energy, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and Miao Anyun found that they ran into the cave in an instant. Ignoring the gold, silver and gems piled randomly in the hole, Miao Anyun turned his attention to the direction from which the sound came.
Due to the close distance, Miao Anyun could see clearly now. It was a nest of eggs as big as a person, carefully placed in a nest that seemed to be made of crystal. Although it is said to be a nest, there are actually only two. One is silver with luxurious silver-white lines on it, and the other has a pitch-black eggshell covered with fiery red lines.
Combined with the name of this map and its mission, the answer is already obvious. Thinking about this "extremely extravagant" habit, Miao Anyun was very sure that these were two dragon eggs and could not be the eggs of other creatures.
At this moment, the silver one among the two dragon eggs was shaking violently, and cracks like spider webs were forming. Then, a silver-white head poked through the hard eggshell with difficulty and stretched out from it. Weak and small, with soft skin and even eyes still closed, he was a silver baby dragon.
It didn't take much time for the little silver dragon to crawl out of the eggshell completely, struggling and making a slight whimpering sound. As if I heard its voice, there was the sound of flapping wings outside, and two huge figures flashed in, the parents of the little silver dragon.
Two behemoths collided with each other, and Miao Anyun subconsciously dodged, only to find that two adult dragons passed right through his body. Only then did he suddenly remember that he was now in Partridge's memory.
"I am very lucky to be born into the Dragon Clan. The Dragon God has given our family a strong body and enviable magical talents. We have almost no natural enemies and can quickly get through the fragile period of birth... It is because of this that one day after birth, , I can already play with other baby dragons."
The silver baby dragon left its parents on the second day after it was born. It spread its somewhat soft wings and flew out of the cave crookedly and swaying to find playmates of the same race. The little silver dragon plays and fights with its companions day and night... They are carefree and do not need to worry about food or other threats from the outside world. Sharp claws and hard scales are their best weapons.
"I was really happy during that time..." Partridge said softly, almost whispering.
Mou Anyun looked back and found Partridge staring blankly at the scene in front of him. His face was soft, and his silver eyes with a strong metallic coldness lost focus, as if the softest memories in his heart were evoked, and he actually revealed a soft smile.
"But the happy days were short. One day, a group of demons came here. I saw the ominous black mist darkening the sky, my parents fell, and the blood of the tribe dyed every piece of familiar land red..."
There is an ominous black mist above the clear sky, which dyes the sky dark, and the cloud of death hangs over this beautiful land. The familiar bodies of his parents fell in front of him, gradually becoming colder. The blood of the companions dyed the land red, and it also carried a warm breath.
The still very young Silver Dragon screamed sadly. It opened its big silver pupils filled with blood and kept this scene firmly in its mind.
Why do powerful parents pass away so easily? Why has a home that was full of happiness not long ago turned into this? It doesn't understand.
"I saw several clan elders standing beside those demons, chatting and laughing, turning a blind eye to this hell on earth. As if they were not important clan members, but just a group of insignificant and humble ants, not worthy of even the slightest glance. ..." The heavy voice revealed sadness and resentment that could hardly be concealed.
Not far away, several high-level dragons stood beside the intruders exuding evil aura, their eyes indifferent, without any mercy. There were even smiles in the corners of their eyes, as if they had thought of something and were particularly happy.
As an emotional woman, Qi Yuhan couldn't help but cover her mouth. Crystal tears rolled in her eyes, but she was forced to hold them back. Miao Anyun and Lu Jiamu also felt a little heavy in their hearts.
Benson on the side showed inhuman characteristics. He looked at everything indifferently, his unstructured dark eyes flashing with a cold glimmer, and he was exceptionally calm. For the mastermind codenamed 'Dragon God', this is just the system's established program, and a string of data cannot move him in any way.
Fortunately, everyone else was still immersed in this heavy atmosphere, and no one noticed his abnormality.
"I didn't know at that time that they colluded with the demons to kill my parents just for the ridiculous position of king of the dragons."
"... I escaped with the desperate protection of my tribe, but my younger brother Strachey, who was born later, stayed there. Although I escaped, I was still plotted against, which made me seriously injured. . But luckily, I didn’t die because of it... "
"But as a price, I became the guardian of this place. I can no longer leave even half a step without my body. Since then, I have been guarding here... until I met you... "
"Thank you for listening to me finish telling this story." Partridge breathed out, as if he wanted to let out all the depression in his heart. He smiled at Miao Anyun and the others, without any trace of the heavy hatred from before.
[Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the player, the main mission [Memories] has been completed.]The clear sound of the system brought several people back to reality.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Partridge asked with a smile.
"If we can help." Miao Anyun replied seriously.
"I have been imprisoned in this place for more than two thousand years." Partridge's eyes dimmed, and when he said this, he paused. "I really want to go back to my hometown. Are you willing to help me?"
[Ding! System prompt: NPC Partridge has issued a mission [Lost Hometown] to you. Do you accept or reject it?]
"But we just saw from our memory that the Dragon Clan's territory has been invaded by the Demon Clan, right? If we help you return to the Dragon Clan now, won't you be attacked by the Demon Clan?" Carmen asked calmly, he didn't Being affected by what I just saw. "Although I am very confident in my own strength, I am not so confident that a few of us can deal with the demons."
Carmen told the truth. Even the tyrannical dragon clan couldn't stop the invasion of the demon clan, let alone other races like them. Therefore, Miao Anyun did not interrupt.
"There are no demons there anymore." Partridge shook his head, "The demons were driven out more than five hundred years ago."
"But, didn't you just say that you can't leave here even half a step? So, how did you know about this?" Carmen was very cautious. It's about your own life, can you not be cautious
Partridge didn't panic at all. He explained in an orderly manner: "This place is very strange. Through the water of Dream Lake, I can see some things happening in the outside world. I saw my brother Strachey in Dream Lake. They led the tribe to resist, and they won, successfully expelling the invaders from the Dragon Valley."
"Besides, as long as I am willing to pay some price, I can still leave here." Partridge said lightly. He looked at Miao Anyun, "Now, can you tell me your decision?"
There was a deep hope hidden in his silver pupils, like the last weak flame in the dark cold wind, which just flashed past and was quickly extinguished in the depths of his eyes.
Mu Anyun was keenly aware that the so-called price paid by Partridge in an understatement might not be small, but he still nodded.
The proud dragon lowered his head with the most sincere gratitude in his eyes. As if he had grasped the last straw, the fire of hope in his eyes became clear.
