Chapter 974: The Return of the Missing (Part I)

James was an ordinary resident of Hail Norsen.

It is said that his ancestors settled in this seaside city during the Great Migration. And James also grew up listening to the sound of the tides by the sea.

Unfortunately, he didn't live up to his childhood dream of becoming a brave warrior at sea, even though he had a long nose and some talent for the use of dwarven gunpowder weapons.

After not being selected as a crew member of the United Empire fleet in Horngolat and lost in the road of life for a long time, he inherited his father's family business and became the owner of the bellflower tavern.

Half a week ago, our manager James was thinking about which winery outside the city would be cheaper to buy from, and how to get the daughter of the rich family in the city out for a meal, but life is so magical, no one would have thought that four days ago, a group of undead dragons would suddenly attack.

——Four days ago——

After digging through his former equipment from the backstage of the tavern, James carried the Shining Crystal Fire Hammer from the hands of the dwarves on his back, took a cartridge belt filled with special alchemy ammunition, and walked out of the tavern.

The streets outside were in disarray, and even though the guards on the walls were still trying to reorganize themselves under the supervision of the Warlords, the inhabitants of Helnotham could no longer calm down after discovering that the enemy was a dragon.

In addition, there are some ruffians who also take advantage of this time to rob and injure people, which makes the already chaotic situation even more dangerous.

James is also the person who once participated in the selection of the United Imperial fleet of Horngolat, although he is not as good as the elite in the fleet, but in terms of strength alone, he is not worse than the mercenaries and adventurers on the street...... Even better under certain conditions.

For example, at times like these.

The attacks of ordinary mercenaries and magic swordsmen could not hit those corpse dragons flying in the sky, but James's musket could.

After smashing over a few outlaws who tried to fish in troubled waters and rob the bellflower tavern with the butt of his gun, James had the demeanor of a Schwarzenegger magistrate to flick the Crystal Torch, and the Crystal Shine Crystal Bracket on the Torch was automatically loaded by centrifugal force. Squeezed a special alchemy bullet into the chamber of the gun.

Then he picked up the Shining Flame with one hand and pulled the trigger hard.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire could almost overwhelm the hustle and bustle of the entire street, and even knocked several residents who were too close to be caught off guard......

In contrast, the wings of a corpse dragon in the sky were pierced...... No, it's not so much a punch. It's more like it's been folded off, leaving only a thin layer of flesh connected to the back.

Dragons are different from birds, in fact, the wings that are too short and light for the dragon's body are not able to support the dragon's flight in the true sense, and the reason why these behemoths can soar in the sky is more because of the 'anti-gravity' spell abilities that the wyverns are born with.

Although these undead dragons have lost most of their abilities, it seems that this anti-gravity property is still there, so they can still fly in the sky, although much slower than they were when they were alive.

But wings are not the main factor in their ability to fly, but they are also the ones they use to control the direction of flight. Even the important organs of take-off and landing, it is easy to say that there are a few holes in the skin membrane of the dragon wing, but if the whole thing is broken, then the fate of the flying dragon species can be imagined.

"Dragon, the dragon has fallen!"

The residents of the street, who had managed to calm down because of James's gunfire, immediately began to shout in panic again.

The dragon, whose wings had been broken by James, swooped down like a malfunctioning fighter jet.

"Phew, it's not what I expected......"

James was also a little stunned.

Although he did intend to shoot down one or two dragons, he didn't expect them to rush towards him with the momentum of dooming together. The power of this decisive blow is so great. It even directly penetrated the magic barrier in the sky above Halnosen (at this time, Horna had not yet opened the barrier with a soul device)!

If he was the only one on the street, although he had regressed a lot because of his body as a boss. But he still had the confidence to escape before the other party fell.

The problem is that there are quite a few people on this street, and his tavern is right behind him.

"Bastard, what are you going to do to my tavern!"

He quickly came to his senses and began to continue shooting at the falling corpse dragon, trying to change the location of the fall.

It's a pity that although the power of the Yaojing Fire Gun is very great with the cooperation of the alchemy bullet, it is still too reluctant to wrestle with a giant dragon.

If it goes on like this. The Bellflower Tavern will not be spared, and the entire street will be destroyed by the corpse dragon.

What's more, the undead are also called undead, and from this name you can know how strong the vitality of these things is, generally speaking, if you swoop down from such a high place, even a giant dragon will die because of breaking its neck. But for the undead, a broken neck is almost the same as a broken nail......

If the corpse dragon hadn't died, the entire area would be in danger, let alone this street.

"Damn it!"

The barrel of the firebolt was so hot that it could no longer be used, and it was estimated that the alchemy bullet filled with unstable dìng red Yaojing powder would explode as soon as it was loaded.

James could only grit his teeth and look at the corpse dragon that was still falling towards it, cursed in a low voice, and reluctantly looked back at the Bellflower Tavern that had contributed half of his life, and planned to flee with the others.

However, the glance he looked back made him see something incredible.

A blonde girl who had been eating in his tavern didn't seem to see the dragon in the sky that was smashing down like a meteorite, but walked out of the tavern and looked around the chaotic street for a while, and when she saw herself, she smiled gently.

"Ah, finally found the boss." The blonde girl took out her small wallet and took out a few silver coins from it: "I haven't paid for the grilled fish I just ate......"

"Now isn't the time to talk about that, is it?"

Although the situation was so urgent that his eyebrows were burning, James couldn't help but complain......

"Yes, yes, teacher, now is not the time to pay!" The other girl who followed the blonde girl also looked up at the corpse dragon and said with some curtle, "And after all this money is paid, we won't have money for dinner......

The point is not whether this is good or not......

James suddenly felt a heartfelt sense of powerlessness in the face of these little girls who couldn't figure out the situation.

"Don't be nervous," at this time, the blonde girl suddenly showed a sweet smile: "It's just a little undead, don't mind." (To be continued......)
