After nightfall, the Riptide Mercenary Guild was still bustling.

Due to the fact that the mercenaries on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang gathered in Rapidwater Castle this time, the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group, as the host, naturally had to hold a banquet to entertain the mercenaries from all walks of life after the mercenary mission press conference.

That night, just as Francis, the leader of the Red Flame Dragon Mercenary Regiment, was exchanging glasses with the mercenary heroes from all over the grassland at the banquet, a masked man in a night suit sneaked into the three-story building in the backyard of the mercenary union hall.

The tallest building in the mercenary guild is actually Francis' residence. The first floor of the building is the living room, the second floor is the dining room, and the third floor is the office and bedroom.

The masked man clinged to the outer wall of the small building like a gecko, and in a few clicks climbed to the office window on the third floor of the small building, carefully pushed open the window, and jumped in.

The third floor of the building is divided into two rooms, the inner room is the bedroom, and the outer room is the office.

The masked man first rummaged through the cabinets in the outer office on the third floor, and when he found nothing, he went back to the inner bedroom to continue his search. When the masked man searched the bedroom and still couldn't find what he was looking for, he shook his head in disappointment and prepared to leave.

Just as the masked man was about to leave, his eyes froze and he was suddenly attracted by a display case with more than a dozen works of art in the middle of the right wall of the bedroom.

Normally, this kind of display cabinet used to display artwork is placed in the living room, but Francis has placed the display cabinet in his bedroom in a different way, which is a little strange to look at.

The masked man walked over to the display case and reached for the artwork on it.

He touched the artwork from left to right, and when he touched the eleventh artwork, a bronze angel statue about 30 centimeters high, he finally realized that something was wrong.

The angel statue was firmly rooted in the display case, and when he tried to pick it up, the angel statue did not move.

The masked man first tried to twist the angel statue to the left, but the angel statue remained still, and then when he tried to twist the angel statue to the right, the angel statue was suddenly twisted.

There was a sudden rumbling sound of the mechanism opening in the bedroom, and the display case in front of the masked man slowly moved to the side, revealing a secret room only a few square meters in size hidden behind the display case.

On the ground of the secret room, a small magic array was laid out with more than a dozen high-quality magic crystals. In the middle of the magic array, there stood an oval-shaped, about one-person-tall distorted light cluster, which was a small spatial portal.

And this spatial portal is exactly what the masked man is trying to find.

The masked man suppressed his excitement and stepped into the spatial portal.

After a trance, the masked man stepped out of the spatial portal and came to the other end of the spatial portal connection.

The masked man stepped out of the spatial portal and found himself in a rudimentary stone chamber that was extremely hot. The walls around the stone chamber have not been repaired, and they are simply abrupt and uneven native rocks. The air was filled with heat and a strong smell of sulfur.

"Great Elder, why did you come all of a sudden...... A red-robed man wearing a hood who was guarding outside the door of the stone chamber was alarmed by the movement of the spatial portal and walked into the stone chamber to investigate

See. When he saw a strange masked man coming out of the spatial portal, his voice stopped abruptly. The next moment, when the red-robed man woke up from the shock and was about to shout a warning, the masked man acted like electricity, and instantly ran to the red-robed man, stretched out his right hand, tightly clamped the red-robed man's neck, and with a fierce force, the neck bone of the red-robed man was broken.

"Whew, it's so dangerous, I didn't expect that there were still disciples of the Dragon Worship Sect guarding this end of the portal!" After the masked man finished out the red-robed man, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and called it lucky in his heart. He removed his veil and revealed a very handsome young face, which turned out to be Daniels.

It turned out that since Daniels joined the Red Flame Dragon Mercenary Regiment as a secret agent of the Holy Radiance Crusader, he had always kept in mind the task assigned to him by his teacher Urban to investigate the Dragon Worship Sect.

After nearly a year of covert investigation, Daniels gradually obtained some important clues, and found out that Francis, the deputy head of the former Shenghui Crusader and the current leader of the Red Flame Dragon Mercenary Regiment, was an important leader in the Dragon Worship Sect. And in the third floor of the small building where Francis lives, there seems to be a hidden spatial portal that connects to the main altar of the Dragon Worship Sect.

Daniels tried to infiltrate Francis's residence and find the spatial portal, but never found a chance. It wasn't until Francis feasted the mercenary heroes on the prairie in the mercenary union tonight that Daniels finally got a golden opportunity.

Daniels ripped off the red robe from the corpse of the Ron worshippers on the ground and put it on himself, putting on his hood and pulling the brim low to hide almost his entire face under the hood.

Disguised as a Dragon-worshipper, Daniels walked out of the stone chamber.

Outside the stone room, there is a world of fire and lava.

Daniels only observed for a moment, and then determined that he was now inside a volcano.

The ground beneath his feet was covered like cobwebs with rivers of lava from the depths of the earth. These lava rivers flowed slowly, all to a huge lava lake in the heart of the volcano.

Thick waves of magma and fire rose from the boiling lava lake, softened by the high temperature, and rolled down from the low mountains inside the volcano into the lava lake, and the huge rocks that were still burning were brought into the air dozens of meters high before they were completely melted into lava, and then smashed back into the lava lake.

Burning boulders crashed into the lava lake, slapping magma and splashing everywhere. Some of the lava splattered on the shores of the lava lake, and when it cooled down, it re-solidified into new rock.

Dozens of hooded, red-robed worshippers knelt not far from the lava lake, raising their palms above their heads and bowing to the lava lake despite the risk of being hit by the splashing magma, as if they were religiously performing some kind of mysterious religious ritual.

Daniels hesitated a little when he saw the group of Ryosaurians who were holding a religious ceremony, and then quietly approached them, came to the back of the crowd, and bowed to the top of the lava lake in the same way.

When the religious ceremony was coming to an end and the end was near, one of the leading leaders of the Dragon Worship Sect suddenly let out a hoarse cry!

"The abyss burns with your hatred, the world trembles with your rage, and finally, you are back on the continent of Northshaned! Vengeance! Vengeance! Under the shadow of your flaming wings, everything is to ashes!"

"Awake, the supreme faith of the Cult of the Dragon, the Great Pope, the dragon of flames, the Flame Wings Doragni Red Flame!"

As the roar of the leader of the Dragon-worshipping Cult fell, the center of the lava lake suddenly stirred violently, forming a huge magma vortex, and with it, a huge wave of magma. A raging, unstable mass of flames burst out of the bottom of the lava lake and floated above it.

With a swipe, two wings of flame that covered the sky and the sun stretched out from behind the huge flame, and then the flames continued to change, giving birth to four huge claws, a thick tail, a slender neck, and a huge head, and finally outlining the image of a flame dragon with a body size of more than fifty meters.

As soon as the flame dragon manifested above the lava lake, it raised its neck and let out a dragon roar. A huge dragon roar reverberated back and forth inside the volcano, causing hundreds of rocks of various sizes to roll down the mountain and into the lava lake.

"Doragni Chiyan, is it the dragon worshipped by the Dragons?" Daniels was taken aback when he heard the name.

Since Daniels was born in a baronial family in the Byzantine Empire, he was an out-and-out nobleman, even if this nobleman could only be regarded as a small nobleman in the countryside. As a result, Daniels had the opportunity to read a lot of books since he was a child, and he was especially fond of biographical books, and it happened that when he was a child, he read a book about the life and deeds of the famous dragon legend, the red dragon Doragni, nicknamed 'Flaming Wings'.

As soon as he thought of this, Daniels suddenly had doubts again. Doragni is obviously a red dragon, but the Doragni who appears here is clearly a fire dragon, an elemental dragon without a body! The two are not at all the same in terms of image! If the dragon has a double name, it is understandable, but the nickname of this fire dragon is also called 'Flaming Wings', and the name and nickname are exactly the same, this is a coincidence that it makes some sense, right?

According to the biographical book that Daniels had read, a thousand years ago, Doragni went to the abyss plane with several prestigious Saint-level powerhouses on the continent to find out how much strength the demons had regained after a thousand years of cultivation after the blow of the Demon Sealing War two thousand years ago. At that time, Doragni was the most powerful presence in the Red Dragons after the more legendary dragon Terangra Theresa, and if nothing else, the next Red Dragon King after Terangra Trisa would be it, and even the position of the Sunset Dragon King was not without the possibility of a fight. But since Doragni fell into the abyss, there has been no legend of it on the continent.

For millennia, one of the most common theories about Doragni on the continent was that he had died in the abyss. But now Doragni suddenly reappeared on the mainland, and founded the cult religion of the Dragon Cult, and transformed into a fire elemental dragon. What's going on here?

In addition, the name of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group now seems to be completely borrowed from the surname and form of the fire dragon Doragni Chiyan, which confirms from the side that the Dragon Worship Sect and the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group have a deep relationship! And the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group was originally a mercenary group formed by the Byzantine Empire's military department with elite forces, so why did it intersect with the Flame Dragon at the beginning of the group?

Daniels is full of doubts and is ready to wait and see!
