Chapter 2: Exploring the Dragon Valley

After the competition, the school year is over. I found the head teacher, asked for the general location of Ryugu, and left.

Along the way, I enjoyed the beauty of the mountains and rivers while feeding my phantom beasts. After more than ten days of feeding, the baby dragon has grown a lot.

That night, I arrived at Aleppo, the border city of the Aisha Kingdom.

It was late at night, so I found an inn and stayed in.

In the middle of the night, I vaguely heard someone shouting, "Kill, kill!" Awakened by the shouting, I hurriedly put on my clothes and ran to the door to see what was going on.

Looking down the stairs, there was a man lying on the ground, a dead man to be exact, who seemed to have just been killed, and as for the murderer, he had already fled.

It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers to arrive, cordon off the entire inn, and interrogate every guest in the inn.

When asked about me, I only replied with a few words, "I just came here today and didn't know anything." ”

At dawn, the inn was still blocked, and the officers and soldiers surrounded the entire inn on the inside floor and the outer floor.

At this time, the head of the officers and soldiers arrived, he glanced at the corpses on the ground, and said, "It's nothing, let's disperse." ”

I wondered, is it that simple?

After a while, an officer and soldier showed a notice to the chief, who glanced at it and said, "Let's put this notice outside." ”

The lockdown of the inn was lifted, and I had enough rest.

When I came to the gate of the city, I saw a notice posted by the officers and soldiers, to the effect that the quartermaster of the city had been killed, and a reward of 10,000 gold coins was offered for the arrest of the murderer.

Leaving the city gates, I came to the fairy forest.

"Help, help, who's going to help me?" came a cry for help from the front.

When I got closer, it was a girl, surrounded by several saber-toothed tigers, and it was difficult to get out.

"Five thunderbolts hit the top!" Five lightning bolts struck, and the saber-toothed tigers were killed. "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I might be hanging here. The girl said and walked towards me, "My name is Wang Xi, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Since you are saved, then I will go first, I have important things to do. ”

"No problem, you can go to the Aixia Kingdom to find me when you have time, my grandfather is the president of the Magic Association, because of physical reasons, I can't learn magic, the reason why I'm stuck here is because I'm separated from my relatives, no, with you, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." After Wang Xi finished speaking, he thanked him and left.

When I finally came to the Dragon Valley, I saw not a giant dragon with teeth and claws, but a dragon tribesman whose appearance was no different from that of a human, and later I learned that the dragon clan could appear in front of the world in the form of a human when it reached the stage of transformation.

Hughes, the king of the dragons, received me, explained my intentions, and summoned my five-clawed golden dragon. Hughes looked at my phantom beast and said, "The five-clawed golden dragon is the emperor of the dragon clan, according to the prophecy, the birth of the five-clawed golden dragon means the arrival of the end of the law era, and everyone can only get through this difficult time if they are united." ”

I gave my phantom beast a name, the Light Dragon, so that it was much easier to shout.

"Can you stay in Dragon Valley for a while?", Hughes asked me.

"Okay. Thinking that there would be some time before I left school, I agreed to Hughes's request.

On this day, I was wandering around the Dragon Valley with the Light Dragon, walking, walking, and I noticed that something was wrong.

The residence of Hughes, the king of the dragon clan, was surrounded by a group of masked men in black, apparently as a prelude to the use of force.

Sure enough, the group of men in black took advantage of the darkness to fight with Hughes.

As a result, Hughes was seriously injured, and the man in black was killed, leaving not a single person alive.

According to Hughes's judgment afterwards, he believed that it was the Demon Assassin's doing. Because what remains at the scene is the breath of the Great Demon, and only the Demon Race has the Great Demon, a strange dark creature.

Here's what I thought in hindsight. The reason why the demons sent assassins to assassinate the king of the dragon clan is probably to make the dragon clan leaderless, and then take various ways to break through them, destroy the balance between the various races between the continents, and finally achieve the goal of unifying the continent. If that time really comes, I'm afraid that all the creatures on the continent will become slaves of the demons, enslaved by the demons, and have no freedom, no dignity, and no happiness. This is an outcome that I don't want to see.

No one knows what the demons will do next, and the only feasible thing is to infiltrate the demons and spy on the news.

And this burden naturally fell on me.
