A wide avenue, an endless grassland.

The road runs through the steppe, and a caravan is methodically advancing along the road, with accompanying knights guarding the sides, and the most important cargo concentrated in the center of the procession.

This is the caravan of the Great Chamber of Commerce [North Pole], and in addition to the guards owned by the North Pole Chamber of Commerce itself, the accompanying ones also specially hired a large mercenary group [Wolf's Tooth] to be the guard of this escort.

They had just brought back a high-quality [Magic Stone Mine] from the Federation, which used to be an important source of energy for magic stone lamps, but now, magic stone mines are an important raw material for the production and synthesis of energy storage crystals.

On weekdays, there is no need to fight so much, but now that the Federation is facing off against the Xingzhu Empire, the two sides are hoarding heavy troops in the border territory, and a large-scale war seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

In order to prevent accidents, the North Pole Chamber of Commerce, which has always been steady, deliberately hired the Wolf's Tooth Mercenary Group as a guard, not because they were afraid that the noble alliance of the Federation would attack them, in fact, all countries attached great importance to the circulation of trade routes, and the Federation needed the advanced magic guide device of the Xingzhu Empire, and the Xingzhu Empire needed a large number of ore raw materials......

At this time, the location of the western border of the Xingzhu Empire and the border of the Federation was chaotic, and the entry of the orc legion caused a high degree of tension among the ordinary people, coupled with the imminent storm of the war, it became extremely chaotic, and many outlaws also gathered in the western border, as if they planned to take advantage of the chaos of the war to make a fortune......

In the corner of the line, a thin figure with a single iron sword on his back didn't seem to be very inconspicuous, but he was the Holy Son who had just been "assassinated and died" in Xingzhu City.

Su Qiran was a little bored and followed the caravan slowly, he faked his death in Xingzhu City before, and left Xingzhu City with the help of the Federation's mission, in order to eliminate the possibility of being discovered, Su Qiran returned to the Federation with the Federation Mission, and then disguised himself as a mercenary and came back from the Western Realm......

The trouble is that it is a little troublesome, and it is much slower to go with others than to act alone, and it took nearly a month on the way.

The caravan walked very slowly, it was not long after entering the western territory, at least the next big city, Su Qiran could find a reason to get out, the journey was unexpectedly smooth, the wolf's tooth mercenary group was strong, and there were almost no people who didn't have long eyes who dared to move this caravan, and the robbers who did not observe clearly were also cleanly solved by the wolf's tooth mercenary group.

However, in his spare time, Su Qiran also had time to consolidate his cultivation, he had risen too fast before, and he had risen from a seventh-level Sword Saint to a ninth-level peak Sword Saint in just a few months, although it was also because of his accumulation, but there was a lot of lack of a process of comprehension.

I don't know where Xingnuo went...... With Xiaotong following, there should be no big safety problems, but Xiaotong sometimes can't take care of himself......

Regarding Xingnuo's affection, Su Qiran thought that he was still a little more sympathetic, that pampered princess suddenly lost all the relatives who cared about her...... Su Qiran still remembers that helpless look clearly, which is why he took Xingnuo back to the Eternal Forest despite the great danger.

When he was thinking about his thoughts, Su Qiran suddenly felt that his vision had dimmed......

Then there was a sudden commotion in the caravan, the horses were frightened, and in the chaotic neighing of the horses, many people pointed to the sky in horror.

The huge black dragon flew over the sky, its wingspan was 100 feet! It was across the sky, and most of the sun's rays were obscured!

Su Qiran's eyes widened, this is ...... Legendary ...... Dragon!?

Black air currents swirled over the dragon's massive and graceful body, and purple-black streamers shone on the dragon's scales!

No, it's such a strong resentment, shouldn't the dragon clan be a guardian beast? how can there be such a strong resentment! Even if it is a dark attribute dragon clan...... This resentment is also too strong.

The giant dragon was hundreds of meters in the air, and Su Qiran could clearly feel the resentment on the dragon's body, because of the previous necromantic calamity, Su Qiran was still quite familiar with the origin of the resentful spirit [resentment].

The dragon paused in the sky for a moment, and then the huge dragon wings suddenly stirred, and the black dragon turned into a streamer and disappeared into the sky at great speed.

"See!, that's the legendary dragon!"

"Really! I was lucky enough to meet a dragon!"

"It turns out that the legend is not scribbled!" The surrounding merchants, and even some mercenaries, excitedly began to discuss the dragon that had just flown over, dragon legends have always been one of the most widely circulated, but few people really believe in the existence of dragons.

After all, the dragon clan has not shown its face for many years, and the human being is a short-lived person, and almost all the people who have seen the dragon clan with their own eyes have settled in the earth.

The dragon clan that had been hidden for many years actually appeared, and the state of the giant dragon seemed to be very strange......

Nine Seal City.

It is one of the largest cities in the western realm, and it is directly north to the Viceroyalty of the Western Territory.

The Northern Pole Chamber of Commerce finally arrived at the terminal city, but not long after entering the city, the Shadow Blade agent in a black robe controlled everyone and then brought them to the City Lord's Mansion, of course, Su Qiran slipped away in advance.

He had planned to leave the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, but since the dragon flew through the sky that day and happened to be seen by them, Su Qiran felt that it was not a coincidence, so he followed the Chamber of Commerce all the way to Nine Seal City. But to his disappointment, nothing major happened along the way.

After all, is it just too much to worry about? Su Qiran smiled helplessly.

Walking through the completely unfamiliar street, Su Qiran hurried to the location marked on the map, although he was a bit of a road idiot, but fortunately, the street structure of the Nine Seals City was very simple, and he found the agreed location without too much effort.

Mercenary Guild.

Each city has a mercenary union, where mercenaries accept commissions, or exchange information with each other, and practice resources......

The Mercenary Guild in Nine Seals City is a classical hall, and the four lifelike Thunder Lion statues at the entrance show a sense of antiquity.

Su Qiran saw from afar that Su Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a strong suit and full of expectation, was standing at the door of the mercenary union, the petite and cute little girl was carrying a long sword, and the mercenaries passing by looked at her with admiration, while guessing which eldest lady had run out to take the risk......

After a while, Su Xiaoxiao found Su Qiran, who was mixed in the crowd and was not very conspicuous.

"Teacher!" The little girl rushed over with great joy.

"How do you recognize me. Su Qiran asked a little surprised.

"Even if you ask me why...... I don't know either...... It's just that the first time I saw you, I recognized you as a teacher......" Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly with a hint of silly.
