Chapter 88: The First Night Outside the Nest!
Thinking like this, Elbert's mouth was then saying, ''If you are worried about Winters' side, it is actually completely unnecessary.
Miles was personally sent here by Winters. Since Miles is able to go out on patrol, then you, who are stronger than him, will naturally be able to go out as well. Of course, the most important thing is that there is me!”
When he said these last words, an unrivaled confidence naturally radiated from Elbert's body.
He was confident that under his watch, nothing would go wrong with any dragon!
And hearing those words, Vetter, who had wanted to go out and take a look at the outside world, finally made up his mind.
“Then, please!”
Hearing this, Elbert grinned, adding a few grimaces out of nowhere!
He then raised his head again and scanned towards the surroundings.
“Well ...... dragons have arrived, it seems that you guys have been looking forward to the patrol mission for a long time. Although the time has not arrived, ...... depart!”
After saying that, Elbert's wings gently trembled, and his huge dragon body, like a mountain range rising from the ground, was majestic!
And after Elbert flew up, the little dragons in the valley, as if they had gotten some kind of signal, flew towards Elbert in the air while roaring excitedly.
Apparently, Vetter wasn't the only one interested in the outside world.
Vetter, who had thought that Elbert would talk about the contents of the patrol, subconsciously followed, but his eyes were blank.
It was a good thing Miles flew over.
However, when Vetter saw Miles' face that was also filled with a blank look, he gave up!
The big deal was to just fly after Elbert!
He wasn't even a member of the reserves in the first place anyway, or even a young dragon, so even if he made a mistake, he'd only get a few words at most.
“Corvus on top!I can't believe my ears, you're a young dragon!”
Just as Vetter was about to ''lie down'', a slightly familiar voice, rang out on his other side, turning his head to look, he saw Lark flying not far to his left, looking at him with a gaze full of amazement!
Hearing this, Vetter froze for a moment, then said with some doubt, “Although it's a bit narcissistic to say so, but due to my special body type and inability to use elemental magic, I'm still quite famous among the academy, uh...... you don't recognize me?”
“Of course he doesn't recognize you, he's not a dragon from the academy!”
“Not a dragon from the academy?”
Hearing Miles' words, Vetter looked at Miles with some confusion.
Miles spread his claws.
“Literally, he didn't come out from inside the academy, but rather, he has been following his parents' dragons until after he was out of the juvenile stage, which is when he was sent to the Legion Reserves.”
Upon hearing this, Vetter was somewhat puzzled, “But, Isha also has parents, but she is now studying within the academy.”
At this time, Lark took over.
“If this is the case, I do know something, the adult dragons in the Dragon Nest, for the most part, bring their young dragons by themselves, and only when the young dragons themselves want to go to the academy, will they be sent to the academy. But ......”
Saying this, Lark paused, glanced at Vetter and Miles, and then said, “To put it in a not-so-nice way, how could a young dragon like a place like the academy where their freedom is bound.”
Vetter scratched his head.
“Bound to freedom?
I think it's okay, it's only the first two years of life that Winters keeps a tighter rein, but that's only for our safety. After we get through those two years of rapid growth, we're freer, and we don't get said anything about even going out at night.”
“What about during the day?”
“If it's a break, naturally you can go out as much as you want, class time is a definite no-no.”
Lark's mouth grinned.
“So yeah, it's all about limited freedom, and faced with a free Dragon's Den and an academy with only limited freedom, a dragon would choose to stay with its parents. The Isha you're talking about might be an exception!”
At this, Vetter didn't bother to refute, once it came to the issue of freedom, every dragon had its own thoughts.
Lark just thought differently from them, there was no need to argue.
In contrast ......
“Lark, you should have participated in a patrol mission, can you tell us about it?”
Upon hearing this, Lark readily agreed.
“As a matter of fact, I was originally prepared to find you two to team up together.
In a patrol mission, usually, it's five dragons that team up and cooperate to complete the patrol mission, and dragons like you who are from the academy are fine, dragons born in the same batch always stay together. And like us, it's just a random group, seeing where there is a shortage of dragons to go. However, you two are a bit special!”
Saying that, Lark gave Vetter and Miles an odd look.
“There aren't many dragons from the academy that travel solo, plus, it's unheard of for young dragons to be involved in patrols... uh ...... Sorry, I wasn't questioning your prowess, I'm just feeling a little surprised. Besides, you shouldn't mind joining me!”
Vetter shook his head.
“Of course I don't mind, or rather, having a dragon like you who has participated in patrols will make us go through a lot less.”
Hearing this, Lark's face lit up with joy.
“That would be great, in the past, we were all randomly grouped together and basically didn't talk much to each other except for the necessary exchanges for completing the mission, and I don't like that kind of atmosphere. Oh, sorry! Now is not the time to talk about that.”
Saying that, Lark looked towards the bottom, they had already pulled up to the sky above the Warren Rift, and could see the plains of Isu located in the south from afar.
“There are two main tasks for our patrols, one is to clean up the Abbey Dragon Beasts that we might encounter, and the other is to search for dragon eggs!
Of course, generally, it's the latter mission that is the main focus.
If we do encounter an Abbey Dragon Beast, while cleaning it up, we also need to alert Elbert as soon as possible.
He will judge the size of the Abbey Dragon Beast's lair, and then decide whether the cleanup will be carried out by the reservists, or by the Legion's official members, or, if Elbert will personally take action.”
Hearing this, Vetter's gaze froze.
Large dragon nests!
Only a dragon nest of this level would require Elbert's personal attention!
With this thought in his mind, Vetter's mouth asked, “Then how should we go about finding the dragon eggs?”
Lark, however, shook his head.
“There is no specific way, we can only rely on luck, after all, those irresponsible adult dragons don't have the guts to directly place the dragon eggs within the confines of the dragon nest. In order to prevent the dragon eggs from being eaten by some predators, they would also hide them. But that wouldn't solve the problem at all. It's still dangerous out there, and the dragon eggs won't nurture young dragons, which is where we need to get the dragon eggs out.”
Vetter understood.
Wasn't that how they were brought to the middle of the dragon's cave, so they could hatch!
As they spoke, there was a new change in the group of dragons.
Vetter noticed that the dragons split into two parts, with one part flying directly towards the northern part of the Warren Rift Valley, while they followed Elbert to the Isu Plains.
Watching the dragons leave, Vetter asked with some curiosity, “Speaking of which, what is the northern part of the Warren Rift Valley?”
“It's the Yaka Hills!”
Miles, who had been unable to interject, managed to meet a question he could answer and hurriedly spoke up.
“The Yaka Hills are huge, bigger than the Isu Plains and the Star Source Mountain Range combined, and our area of activity is limited to the southern location of the Yaka Hills.
If we go any farther, the Dragon Nest won't be able to support us in time if something goes wrong.
In addition, there are some lone dragons living in the Yaka Hills.
Solitary gargoyles are generally more grumpy and will occasionally clash with the gargoyles in the Dragon Nest, so that side is a more dangerous area.”
Vetter nodded thoughtfully.
As expected, the outside world was really big, and this was only the surrounding area of the Warren Rift Valley, what kind of scene would it be in other places far away from this area!
With no more questions, Vetter then focused his attention on the plains of Isu below.
The plains were just a rather generalized concept, with mountains, forests, rivers, grasslands, and various other terrains on it.
And after leaving the Warren Rift Valley for a while, there were dragons that broke away from the group every now and then and flew towards the bottom, apparently, they had already chosen their patrol area.
“Alright, let's go too!”
At this moment, Lark suddenly spoke up and reminded Vetter and Miles before flying towards the bottom.
Vetter and Miles looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
And after Vetter and the others broke away from the large group, three more dragons flew out from the group, and after taking a good look at each other, one of them returned to the large group again without hesitation.
The other two dragons flew towards Vetter and the others.
Vetter subconsciously looked towards Lark.
Lark spread his claws.
“This is a random grouping, you don't need to care, when you get down there in a while, you just need to assign the direction of your respective patrols.”
As he spoke, the two dragons had already arrived close by.
