And in this four-square world, which can also be said to be a chessboard world, there are many enemies who have words.
The demon king who doesn't know when he will be resurrected, the lurking cult, the necromancer hiding in the dark...
Therefore, the dragon clan and the kingdom generally adopt a monitoring method, and unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not easily use troops.
"gone"
"Eh!? Don't you want to inquire first?" the priestess exclaimed.
"It's not really necessary"
"No, it was agreed before." The priestess stared at him with wide eyes.
"Okay, then ask the counter staff." Nangong Long shrugged and said.
Fortunately, there are not many people at this time, and it will be Nangong Long's turn soon.
Someone formed a group to take over this task before, but only two people escaped back.
Not long afterward, they left the city.Maybe he returned to his hometown, or went to another town to continue to be an adventurer, or he might have died somewhere.
The priestess asked seriously, but Nangong Long was just listening.There is an approximate location on the task list, and it is enough for him to know the location.
The counter clerk patiently answered all the priestess' questions. She thought the two novices in front of her were just curious.
As for the dragon slaying, the staff lady didn't think about that at all.
No matter how whimsical you are, you won't be so arrogant that two white porcelains go to slay the dragon, so what's the difference between committing suicide.
Knowing that she could not stop Nangong Long's decision, the priestess planned to use the remaining money to buy potions, but was stopped by Nangong Long.
It's just an antidote and vitality potion, which are life-saving things for adventurers in this world, but they are of little use to Nangong Long.The potions in his backpack are much better than this.
The two passed through the city gate and headed out into the wild again.
The priestess sighed silently as she followed Nangong Long.
"It's too slow to go this way"
Nangong Long suddenly stopped and hugged the priestess like a princess.
"Hey!?" The priestess' face turned red.
Before she had time to ask Nangong Long why she did this, the expression on her face turned into surprise.
Nangong Long was flying in the sky with her in his arms.
I didn't fly when I came, mainly because I wanted to see the situation on the road and the towns along the way.
At the same time, a team of 20 people is heading towards the dragon's lair.
Looking at the identification plate on its chest, there are three silver-level, five bronze-level, and seven ruby-level adventurers, and the rest are dressed as soldiers.
They are a team from a neighboring country. The son of a border noble was captured by a dragon a few days ago. They are here to save people.
In order to assemble this team, the nobles spent a lot of money. After all, there is not enough money, who would take on such a terrible task.
The nobleman has only one son, and he is too old. If this son dies, no one can inherit the family business.
It is impossible to slay the dragon. This team is very aware of their abilities. Their plan is to hide near the dragon's lair, and when the dragon goes out, they will sneak into the lair to save people.
But will it all go well?The evil dragon is just a hostage for making trouble.
Almost all the troublesome dragons live too long and are bored, so it doesn't matter whether they catch men or women.
It's not like what the bards sang, all the daughters and princesses were taken away.
And the ending of this kind of thing is often that the dragon kills the adventurers who come, and finally kills the hostages after playing enough.
There are actually very few endings like the brave man defeating the dragon and marrying the princess.
A group of people climbed halfway up the mountain and hid in the jungle, observing the cave in the distance.
They stayed at the foot of the mountain yesterday for observation all day, and the evil dragon will go out after noon.
Whether it is foraging or relaxing, it is not their concern.
It's not that they don't want to observe for a few more days, but the longer the delay, the greater the risk of their exposure. It's hard to say whether they can survive, let alone saving lives.
Seeing the dragon flying out of the cave, the gardener scouts breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully moved back to the hiding place of the team.
Because of the evil dragon, there are no other monsters on this mountain at all, even very few animals.
"The dragon has left," said the gardener scout.
"We have to act as soon as possible. According to yesterday's situation, the evil dragon will return in about two hours. This is the result of thinking for the better. No one knows if it will come back sooner." As the team leader, the half-elves archer He said in a low voice while advancing.
"Understood," the mortal priest nodded in response.
They are the silver level adventurers in the team.
The rest followed behind them, while turning their heads to observe the surrounding situation.
After reaching the target location, the soldiers stay outside while the adventurers sneak into the cave.
The noble young master with red hair was imprisoned in a hole dug in the mountain wall, and instead of the iron fence blocking him was a thunder net.
A mountain of treasure is just outside the prison, but he's not happy at all.
Chapter 5: The Rescue Team Facing Destruction
The interior of the dragon lair is very large and spacious. After all, it is a huge space for a dragon that is more than ten meters long to move freely.
Seeing the mountain of gold coins and all kinds of precious weapons, the half-elf archer lost his mind for a moment. This was the first time he had seen the treasure of the Dragon Clan.
The performance of the rest of the adventurers is similar to him, or even worse than him.
"Don't miss it, save the mission target and leave immediately"
The half-elves whispered, and then walked towards the place where the noble young master was being held.
"You guys were sent by my father, get me out quickly..." shouted the young master with messy red hair and dark circles under his eyes.
"Please keep your voice down, attracting dragons is not good for anyone," said the half-spirited man, frowning.
Hearing this, the noble young master is silent.Not afraid of half-elves, but afraid of dragons.
Seeing the quiet noble young master, the half-elves heaved a sigh of relief.
"Please hide to the side"
The noble young master did as he said.
The half-elves opened the pouch hanging from his waist, took out a magic scroll and untied the tether.
This is the scroll of [Disintegration], which can release the technique of disintegration.
A burst of white light flashed, collided with the thunder net, and finally both disappeared.
The half-elves threw away the scroll that had started to spontaneously combust.
This kind of magic scroll is extremely precious, and it is only found in ancient ruins. Once the scroll is untied, even babies can use magic.
Its production method has long been lost, even the ancient Sen people do not know.
But whether it is easy to use is another matter. After all, the magic on the scroll is varied, and it is a one-time item.Therefore, adventurers who get scrolls generally sell them to researchers and collectors at a high price.
If you want spells, you can recruit spellcasters. What adventurers need more is money.
In order to increase the success rate of this operation, the half-elves specifically asked the noble lords to prepare a few magic scrolls.
After all, nobles have many channels, and it is much easier for half-elves to buy by themselves.
Seeing the thunder net disappear, the noble young master couldn't wait to run out of it.
"Let's go," said the Half-Elf.
"Let's take some." The gardener scout couldn't hold back the greed in his heart.
Except for the mortal priestess who believes in the Earth Mother God, everyone else has this idea.This is the treasure of the giant dragon. You may not be able to see it once in your life. It is okay to take two treasures for a while.
Seeing their appearance, the half-elves gave up persuading them, because that would only take more time, so it would be better to let them take a few pieces and leave quickly.
"Move Faster"
With the approval of the team leader, the rest of the people took action immediately, even the noble young master who had just been freed joined in.
They couldn't take much with them, so all they took were magic weapons.
Even if you can't use it yourself, you can sell it for a good price.
"gone"
About 2 minutes later, the half elf said again, he just took the magic long sword beside him and didn't go in.
"Anyway, there are two hours, it's okay to stay for a while," a bronze-ranked fighter replied.
"You want to die, but I don't want to die. Those who are willing to go with me leave immediately, and those who want to die can stay"
"Why are there two hours?" The noble young master looked at the bronze-ranked warrior and asked.
"Didn't the dragon go out for about two hours every day?"
"That brontosaurus only left here yesterday and today." The noble young master shook his head and said.
"..."
There was a chill down the spine of the adventurers present.
"Go quickly"
The half-spirited man almost roared, and at the same time quickly stepped forward and dragged the noble young master to turn around and run out.
But it was too late, and as soon as they left the cave, they heard a soul-stirring dragon roar.
As early as yesterday when the adventurers came here, Thunder Dragon discovered them, so he deliberately went out to lure them over.
This can't add a little fun to a boring life.
"It's really greedy," Thunder Dragon said in the language of mortals as the dragon's eyes gleaming with lightning flashed across the adventurers.
Thunder Dragon, who has lived for countless years, possesses a wealth of knowledge, and it is not surprising that he can speak the language of mortals.
Knowledge is also a treasure, there is no reason not to collect it.But the Dragon Clan does not write down knowledge, but memorizes it all in their minds.
Dragons don't have to worry about lifespan, nor will they forget.
