………………

Ai Wen closed his eyes, and his mind quickly searched for a text in Chu He's memory. It was in the third expansion, where Chu He used the Warrior and his companions to open the tomb of the Dragon Emperor. When hitting the third boss, because this boss has the ability to cast spells, Chu He's defensive warrior elemental resistance is too poor, and he can only serve as a secondary T. When Evan was pulling the mana floating dragon summoned by the boss, he stumbled upon a dragon language on the wall.

This dragon language was simple and clear, so Evan had no trouble memorizing it. Later, by checking the information, it was found that this dragon language was a spell of a fourth-level spell, and the name of this fourth-level spell was:

"Dragon's Breath!"

After reciting the short incantation, Ai Wen immediately opened his mouth, and a flame formed in his mouth, and with Ai Wen's movements, it immediately gushed out! The scorching flame sprayed forward in a narrow fan shape, and all the dwarves in front of him were ignited by the flames at once, and most of them were burned to death before they even had time to wail.

With a "snap", Ai Wen fell to the ground, the dragon features on his body disappeared quickly, and the whole person suddenly changed back to his original appearance.

"I'm weak right now...... The rest of the battle is up to you......" Evan said to Thorne with difficulty.

"Next...... Do you still need to fight?" said Thorne, looking around a little helplessly.

I saw that almost all the dwarves outside the door had turned into charred corpses, and only a few dwarves were still struggling to survive, but the flames on their bodies had not receded, and it seemed that they could not last long.

Sure enough, as soon as Ai Wen passed out, the city guards rushed over. A guard commander in heavy armor ran to Thorne's side first, and said in disbelief, "Prince, what's going on here?"

"This friend of mine has defeated these rebels, that's all!" Thorne said indifferently.

"The subordinates are talking!" The commander of the guards suddenly realized his mistake, which was already considered a dereliction of duty, and asked the eldest prince in a bad tone.

"Did the rebels disturb the rest of the city?" Thorne asked.

"The rebels attacked the armory, and after their men drove them back, they attacked the palace and here in two separate directions. The subordinates were worried that it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so they did not send troops to rescue in time, and the subordinates should be damned!"

"Well, I'm too lazy to cure your sin. Thorne said lightly. "Over there in the palace, have you sent reinforcements?"

"The Grand Commander has already led people to rescue the palace. The Captain of the Guards said cautiously.

"That's good, let your men clean up this place. Thorne nodded and ordered.

"Someone!" Thorne shouted as he turned and walked into the room. "Let's get Evan in and rest!"

When the two servants heard their master's order, they poked their heads out of the house, and when they saw that the battle was over, they hurried out and helped Evan towards the house.

"After clearing this place, you take the men to guard it, and no one is allowed to enter until I return!" Thorne ordered the commander of the guards, and then called out to the five guards and hurried in the direction of the palace.

The next morning, Evan felt a pang of difficulty breathing, and suddenly struggled to jump.

"Elia!" Evan said helplessly, as he broke away from his small hand that was pinching his nose.

"Brother, it's dawn, don't you usually get up earlier than me!" Illya didn't get up earlier than Evan before, and was ridiculed by Evan once. Ai Wen didn't expect her to hold such a grudge, and this time he saw that he was still sleeping, so he came to take revenge.

"I was so tired last night. Evan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"Did anything happen last night?" asked Elia, wrinkling her little nose.

"Last night there was a civil strife in the kingdom of the Greybeard Dwarves, and Thorne and I faced the enemy together, and in the end it seems that I used the dragon's breath technique to defeat all the enemies, and then I fainted. Evan recalled and said.

"Ah! I didn't feel it at all. Illya said a little shyly. "It seems that I won't be able to drink so much in the future. ”

"You!" said Evan with a doting nod on Elia's nose. "I don't blame you this time, I didn't expect the rebellion to happen all of a sudden. But in the future, you should be careful when drinking, at least make sure that you don't get drunk!"

"Got it, brother. Illya nodded earnestly.

"My good brother, you're finally awake!" Trem pushed open the door and walked in. "I heard that there was a rebellion last night, and you fell into a coma after defeating the rebels, I thought you were wounded, but it turned out that it was not good!"

"I did get a little bit hurt last night, but it healed very quickly. Evan touched his flank, where the wound had healed. After the transformation, the recovery ability of the whole person skyrocketed, and the wound had healed in a short time. Now the scars from the wound had fallen off, leaving only the tender red new skin, reminding him of the wound he had been injured here.

"That's amazing!" Trem said, his eyes lit up. "You alone have equalized nearly a hundred people! I guess the king will consider awarding you a medal for this merit!"

"Forget it, I want something more practical than an award. Evan shrugged his shoulders and said. "Okay, let's not talk about that. I'm so hungry right now, let's get something to eat!"

"It's a shame. Trem said. "Come with me, breakfast is ready in the kitchen. ”

"Where's Thorne? is he okay?" asked Aven, following Tram down the road.

Thorne went to the palace and hasn't come back yet. However, I heard that the rebels attacking the palace had just broken through the gate and were wiped out by the guards who had already laid an ambush. There are still sporadic rebels in the city, Thorne should have been left in the palace by the king, and when the rebellion is completely quelled, Thorne should return. Trem explained the current situation as he walked.

"According to the information obtained so far, the second and third princes moved their minds when Thorne was punished, and organized their private troops to infiltrate the city in batches. They use an abandoned mine to bring weapons into the city and lurk for an opportunity. Some time ago, the two princes were constantly behaving in front of the king, trying to fight for the position of the prince, and their private armies were also fighting each other in the dark. However, after you have solved the Ghost Mine, the King revokes Thorne's punishment. The second and third princes felt that something was wrong, so they absconded outside the city overnight and united to mutiny. Thorne had a feast tonight, and all his men were drunk, so they took the opportunity to start a rebellion. Trem said, pushing open the kitchen door.

"This morning, the commander of the city guard has led his troops out of the city to arrest the two princes, and it is estimated that there will be news at noon at the latest. Terem picked up a roast chicken leg from his plate and ate it.

Evan nodded, took the bread in one hand and the chicken leg in the other, and began to eat.

No matter how splendid a civilization is, there will be an end one day. The First Empire was eventually buried by time, and no one knows how it fell. Scholars of the Arcane Empire have speculated that the ancestors angered the gods because they did not respect the gods and even slandered them. All in all, at the end of the First Empire, the world of Gaia experienced a series of devastating disasters. After the catastrophe, there is no trace of the ancestors in the world. Only a few ruins of the Tower of Time show signs of the existence of the ancestors.

………………

After eating and drinking, Evan touched his slightly protruding belly and burped contentedly.

"Hah! you steal it!" a deep voice came from outside the door, and Aven turned his head to see that it was Dwarin. After some exchanges last night, the two have become friends.

When Ai Wen saw that it was him, he said without hesitation: "There are still some leftovers, do you want to eat some?"

"Ah—you've eaten so much!" said Dwalin, who was anxious when he saw that the whole table was eaten with only a few croissants and lettuce leaves.

"Hey, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it!" said Trem, patting Dvalin on the back with an unhappy face. It was obvious that he ate it first, but before the chicken legs were finished, Evan and Illya had almost finished eating the food on the table, and he was still not full.

"You know you've eaten it with your mouth full of oil, so don't rob me!" Dvalin grumbled as he slapped Trem's hand away from the bread and shielded the croissants.

"What are you arguing about? can't you just cook if you don't have enough to eat?" Thorne's voice came from the doorway.

"yes! I forgot!" said Tram and Dvalin at the same time. "Cook, hurry up and make another meal!"

The kitchen started to get busy again, and in a few moments, a table of meals was complete. When Trem and Dwalin saw the cooks set up their meals, they immediately began to sweep.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Evan was already full, he sat on the side and drank the pumpkin soup, and when he saw that Thorne didn't move, he asked casually.

"I have eaten in the palace. Thorne said. "Come out when you're done, my father asked me to convey my thanks to you. ”

Hearing this, Evan nodded, raised his head and drank the rest of the soup in one gulp, and prepared to walk out: "Eliya, I'll go out and talk to Thorne about something, if you have finished eating, go back to your room and wait for me." ”

Illya nodded, then ignored Evan and continued to solve the pumpkin soup. Her appetite was even more amazing than that of Aven, who had just scooped a bowl of soup and took the soup pot away.

Evan followed Thorne to the same reception room last night and sat down.

"You called me out alone, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as conveying gratitude. Evan said.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Thorne smiled. "After observing during this time, I found that although you may seem rude, you are actually very intelligent. But it's not the kind of wisdom that is revealed, but the great wisdom that is hidden!"

"Thank you for the compliment. Evan said indifferently. "Let's get down to business. ”

"Okay. Thorne nodded. "My father wants to give you a medal, don't refuse yet!" Evan was about to shake his head and refuse when he heard the award, but when he heard Thorne's words, he didn't refuse immediately, but wanted to hear what else was going on.

"After last night's events, my father felt very tired. He had the idea of abdicating before, and after this time, he was even more determined to do so. Your father is going to give you a medal and then recruit you to be the commander of the city guards. After he abdicates, you can make some achievements, and I can naturally transfer you to a better position. Thorne said as he looked at Evan sincerely.

Thorne's words were indeed very moving, and the real meaning was not that the king wanted to recruit Aven, but that Thorne wanted to recruit him. The king's actions were all to resist the criticism of the foreign tribes on behalf of Thorne. It is conceivable that if Evan agrees, he will be able to take care of Thorne in many ways as soon as he succeeds to the throne.

Such conditions were very good, but Evan still refused.

"I have bigger goals!Thorne, forgive me for not staying and helping you. My people are on the move, and I must gather them and reclaim my territory!" said Evan, with a determined expression.

"I see. Thorne was a little disappointed, and then looked up at Evan firmly: "If you need any help, just let me know, I will do my best to help you!"

"Okay, brother!" Evan bowed slightly and hugged Thorne.

"I do need help, my people are wandering, many unarmed. Evan said.

"This ......" Thorne was a little embarrassed. "Our law stipulates that weapons cannot be sold to foreigners. ”

"It doesn't matter. Evan smiled. "I'm not going to arm my people right away, but I'm going to take a territory first, so I'll need the support of a blacksmith!"

"Well, it looks like you've already agreed with Trem!" Thorne said, looking at Evan in a snap of his mind.

"Trem had promised me, but he couldn't do it alone. Although I am going to make him a mentor and train a group of blacksmiths out. However, in the early stages of construction, there was still a shortage of manpower. I need a group of skilled blacksmiths to help me through the early days of shortage. When Trem's apprentice comes out, they'll be able to return here. Evan said.

"Well......" Thorne pondered for a moment, and said, "I can convince my father, it shouldn't be a problem." In addition to that, I can also assign a hundred iron-footed cavalry to protect the blacksmith!"

"Iron-footed cavalry?" Ai Wen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is that the army that once defeated 50,000 men in the battle against Nossa the Great, and finally won the victory?"

"That's right! The Iron Foot Cavalry will guard the blacksmiths until they return, and while they won't listen to you, they will help you when you're in danger. Thorne replied with a smile.
