Chapter 57: Before the War

"Commander, the two teams of compatriots sent to Gray Mountain to reconnoiter a few days ago have not returned."

The Dryad Commander listened to his subordinates' reports, and his face was very unsightly.

It said in a cold tone, "This is expected, but what about the other three compatriots? I deliberately asked them to record the whole thing. ”

"They didn't come back either."

"Not a single one?" There was a hint of anger in the Commander's tone.

The debriefing dryad showed fear and replied tremblingly, "... Not a single one. ”

"I only let them observe from a distance, but they still die. Are the Devil's Descendants so careful? ”

The Dryad Archon was not particularly saddened by the death of his compatriots.

It cares more about its own calculations falling through.

Was it the luck of the beasts of the Grey Mountain, or the three dryads who disobeyed orders.

All of them made the Dryad Commander very unhappy.

The Commander didn't believe the beasts could be so careful, and still leaned over their shitty luck.

"Well, it's okay if you don't get results. Anyway, those demons of the Gray Mountain will definitely not be able to resist our attack. ”

.

After solving the dryad,

Gran and the Green Dragon return to the Grey Mountains.

He stared at the green dragon's wounds, smelling the sweet smell of blood.

Driven by the dragon's blood, the idea of wanting to taste the green dragon's blood was born.

The green dragon sensed Gran's gaze.

Sticking his head in front of Gran, the little lizard with bad thoughts frightened.

"Blake, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Ahh Are your wounds okay? ”

"Oh?" Dragons rarely have a scruple of their companions, and Gran's words made the green dragon thoughtful.

Then the green dragon replied gently, "No problem, it will recover before the next attack of the dryads." ”

Then she put her tail in front of Gran's eyes, and the wound was no longer bleeding.

The green dragon's tail still has the blood of the dryad on it.

It made Gran tremble.

He witnessed the Green Dragon kill many dryads with its tail.

If you let the green dragon know that she is snooping on her dragon blood, I'm afraid she will be sucked to death by a tail.

[This irrepressible greed will bring me trouble sooner or later. 】

Gran felt it was time for him to eat something and distract himself.

The Green Dragon also has this plan.

She invites Gran to dine with her, and grabs a meter-long creature from the mountains.

The creature resembles a goat, but has a thick layer of moss on its back.

At the end of each leg is a rocky, hard substance.

The Green Dragon summons Sain and tells him to eat with Gran.

Gran personally killed the 'goat'.

Then use your claws to cut the fur off your abdomen.

Beneath the fur lies plump flesh and fat, as well as fresh offal.

Gran took out the entrails and gave some of them to Sain.

After disposing of the entrails, Glenn began to consume the flesh and blood of the creature.

The meat is delicate, chewy, and fresh.

Very good food for Gran.

But instead of eating to his heart's content, he looked at the green dragon.

The green dragon has not eaten since he brought back his prey, and has not revealed any desire to eat.

If it weren't for Sain's eating with him, he would have doubted the safety of the meat.

"Priest Green, won't you eat?"

"Me?" The green dragon replied, "Eat it, an adult dragon like me is not so hungry easily." ”

Gran didn't think it sounded like a lie.

Sain next to him didn't react, he knew his mother well.

"Okay." Glenn continued to eat.

[I don't know how much food it will take to feed one of these dragons, and the creatures in the mountains should be happy.] 】

Gran and Sain are not big, but they don't eat much.

They soon ate the goat-like animal to its fur and bones.

After filling his stomach, Glenn felt a feeling of warmth spread from his abdomen to his whole body, and his whole body seemed to have an inexhaustible strength.

Later, he checked the system and found that he had taken 20 points from 'Goat'.

That's when I learned that this creature was a rare ingredient.

Gran couldn't help but think,

The green dragon casually got precious ingredients from the mountains.

Maybe he can stay and save up 1,000 points without having to do tasks.

But this can only be thought about.

Gran didn't want to stay in Ash Mountain for too long, it was an unusually dangerous place.

That night,

Under the pretext of wanting to blow the wind, Glenn stays alone at the top of Ash Mountain.

The wind travels through the mountains, leaving an echo in its wake.

It sounds a bit like the sound of a heart beating.

In the morning, Gran thought it was a gray mountain, and he couldn't see the monsters sleeping below.

Staring at these dark gray rocks now, I feel that this mountain is a living thing.

"It's just an illusion anyway."

Gran tried to convince himself.

But his head didn't try to convince himself.

The dryad spirit has the Tree of Origin, so maybe it's a Mountain of Origin?

[Will Gray Mountain also grow a foot to fight with the Ancestral Dragon, poof. Gran remembered the image in his mind when Sain said that the Tree of Origin was under the Ash Mountain.

However, Yamashita is not the Tree of Origin, but a powerful Titan.

He thinks that the strangeness he feels now has something to do with the Titan.

"Blake, please forgive me for interrupting."

Just as Gran was passing the time, the green dragon came to his side again.

"Priest Green, what are you looking for me?" Gran was calm.

The green dragon's eyes swept around.

She walked up to Gran and asked in a low voice, "How did you think about the day's proposal?" ”

"The main thing is not to look at me, but to the wishes of your child."

"I'll stun Sain, please send it out of this area."

The Green Dragon's decision is very much in line with the arrogant image of the dragon species.

"It's not impossible, if the situation becomes critical, I'll do it for you."

This time Gran didn't object, anyway, if something went wrong, it was pushed to the green dragon.

He also had a reason to take advantage of the situation and escape.

"When the time comes, please take care of Sain."

"I will." Glenn looked up at the stars in the sky.

The stars are shining, and you can't find that special star from yesterday.

"Priest, can you tell me how the Ancestral Dragon came to this world?"

"Can I take this as a request?"

The green dragon wanted Gran to use up a chance she had promised to do her best to fulfill her request.

"Forget it, I won't ask."

Gran decided it was a secret, and he had already paid off.

But he didn't want to use the opportunity to ask easily, and decided to wait until he persuaded Sain to ask.

.

Gran gets along well with the other races, and he is much closer to the Green Dragon.

It's just that the task of befriending the green dragon is still not completed.

.

A week later,

The dryads attacked the Grey Mountain again.

This time, the number of dryads was very small, and they were easily dealt with by the green dragon.

It seems that he is only here to protect.

After a day,

The dryads are attacking again.

There are even fewer of them, only four or five.

Another day passed,

The dryads attacked again, this time only two or three.

On the fourth day, a dryad.

The War Bear and the Giant Eagle rejoiced.

They thought the dryads were scared and chose not to attack the Grey Mountain.

Sain felt that the dryad was frightened by Gran, and then Glenn was shot in the head.

But Gran and Green Dragon were uneasy, and they felt that it was not so simple.

Sure enough,

Day 5,

From the Giant Eagle came the signal of the dryad's attack.

Sain mocked, "How much, half this time?" ”

The green dragon replied grimly, "Hundreds of well-equipped dryads and giant wolves are attacking the Gray Mountain. ”
