The people of the Coranieid that can hear every word spoken and therefore are invincible, a dragon that makes barren with his piercing roar of humans and animals, and a wizard who can sleep all the guards every night and then steals the inventories of the royal court, these visitations.

Lludd comes to France to Llefelys and advice sought from him. Llefelys gives him with a horn whose sound makes the Coranieid deaf, so that the rescue plan can be discussed. Since the Coranieid can be killed by an insecticide, which is harmless to the Britons, they are poisoned at a common meal. The dragon he makes after Llefelys ' Council Met drunk, lures him into a trap and locks him in Dinas Emrys ( at Beddgelert in North Wales ) in a stone walled prison. Against the Zaubergesang the magician Lludd talking to a cast of icy water perk, can overcome him and makes him his faithful servants.
