The wise man thinks what he says, and the fool says what he thinks—

To put it in detail, the wise man often thinks about what to say, what to say, what not to say, and is cautious in his words;

Fools often say whatever they want, completely ignoring the feelings of others, ignoring environmental factors, and so on.

But in Hiiragi's opinion, there is not much difference between the fool and the wise man himself, but the perception of other people is different.

Just because smart people can have an advantage, doesn't mean they're going to fail.

Hiiragi never said that hard work can lead to success, but at least hard work will bring people close to success.

It's three o'clock in the morning, and even near the Dotlier volcano, the night in the forest is dark.

Many adventurers sat around the bonfire that was set up for lighting, roasting the meat they had brought with them to eat, or eating the skin and flesh of the previous [Blade Wolf].

In order not to attract the attention of the Divine Flame Dragon, Charles stipulated that he should not be too noisy at night.

In fact, as long as you don't enter the territory of the Divine Flame Dragon, the chance of being attacked by it will be much lower.

This is just like the [Monster Movable Range] in RPG games, once it goes out of this range, the system will make a decision, so that the Divine Flame Dragon's hatred value against humans will be reduced a lot.

Although it is a reality, it is still attached to the game, and the shadow of the game can be seen in many places.

Hiiragi was also sitting next to a small fire. Nabe is using magic to maintain Ainzi's weapons. Xiao Nagi kept staring at the top of the volcano not far away.

There is not much time left before the battle begins. Quite a few adventurers began to organize their equipment after drinking and drinking.

It's not that you'll be attacked by the Divine Flame Dragon as soon as you enter the mountain, but you'll have to climb to the point close to the crater, where you'll fight the Divine Flame Dragon, the target of the crusade.

After all, the top of the mountain can be said to have a good view, and there are no easily burning substances, because the magicians will summon the wind to blow away the gas there, so for adventurers, it is easy to fight in a place with a wide field of vision.

If it comes into contact with the Divine Flame Dragon in the forest, it will cause a fire when it breathes fire. People's movement will also be restricted.

All in all, the Divine Flame Dragon is not an object that can be easily defeated, and if you want to make a perfect crusade, you must have a good plan.

Do you want to be a fool or a wise man?

Most people will choose the wise, even if they don't know each other, they will choose to cooperate with each other, and that is the best situation.

However, Hiiragi is not so naïve, he has never forgotten what Ainz said, the people here are just a temporary team, not friends and allies.

Most of the adventurers fight to stay alive. If they encounter any danger, they will not necessarily save each other.

Take care of yourself. Thinking of this, Hiiragi couldn't help but look at Nagi.

As a bard of the French profession, she must provide a resource buff in the back, which makes Hiiragi feel a lot more relieved.

Hiiragi has also fought against dragons in previous games, but there must be something different about dragons in this world.

For example, the bone dragon summoned by Khajiit that he encountered before, if he didn't have the ability, he couldn't be defeated with his physical strength and technique.

There are pros and cons to a physical profession, and so are a magical profession.

It's just that if you have to say who is stronger, it's really still a profession for close combat.

"Nangong, when the time comes, let's not make a move immediately, let's see the ability of those guys first."

"I understand that if you don't keep a hand, you will be eaten back. It's just that if the object is a Divine Flame Dragon, what does Lord Ainz plan to do with it? ”

"It's good to use magic within a reasonable range in their eyes, even if it's a monster of the holy series, dark magic can still form suppression, and of course the other party will also have resistance."

Darkness and the sacred have been opposing attributes since ancient times.

In this way, Hiiragi also thinks that he will become a striker, and Anz will become a center forward or something.

Although he appears to be a physical profession, he is actually a magical profession.

In previous battles, he relied on LV100 and the attributes provided by the equipment to suppress the opponent, so what about this time?

The opponent is a flying being, so it will take a lot of magic to destroy its wings before it can be defeated.

"But if you can fly, it's a bit of a problem."

"Lord Ainz, I can directly shoot down the so-called Divine Flame Dragon."

Nabe said confidently, which made Ainz shake her head.

"No, don't do that, high-tier magic can take it down, but it's too ostentatious. There may be strong guys in the kingdom, and if we show up directly, once we are in the light, those who are acting secretly will take corresponding actions, so I don't want to do that. ”

"It's really worthy of Lord Ainz to think so thoughtfully."

"Nabe, have you taken care of your sword? In the beginning, I didn't use magic, and I tried to fight physically. ”

"Yes, there are magic enhancements, the blessing of the demon king, the Infinity Blade, and many others, so please feel free to use them."

It seems that they are all ready.

"Koya, do you usually look in the mirror?"

"Well, once in a while, my hair doesn't have anything to deal with, just play with it."

Hiiragi's sudden question didn't bring Hiiragi back to her senses, but she answered her question immediately.

"Although the mirror makes people turn left and right, it is not actually reversed left and right."

"Eun? What's inside pinching him? ”

"Almost, when the average person raises his left hand, he or she will raise his right hand in the mirror, which can theoretically be called reversed. It's just that another way of saying it can be true, that is, the front and back reversal. The left hand raised in front became the right hand raised in the back. ”

"Why is there such a non-tensioning topic at this time?"

"To defuse the tension, of course. Other than that. Mirrors can reflect the real things of human beings, such as [Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, tell me!] Such a mirror. ”

It's a fairy tale, but it's also a bit of a warning.

After all, fairy tales are meant to write about the darkness and chaos of human hearts, not for children, but for adults.

This is the end of the gossip, and Charles, as the person in charge, gathered all the adventurers present at this moment.

Everyone sat around the giant campfire. Charles stood alone on a platform near the campfire and spoke.

"You've worked hard along the way, and I'm sure you've rested for a few hours and you're ready for the next battle. Although they are all from all parts of the kingdom, you are all comrades-in-arms at the moment, and the purpose is the same. As long as everyone works together, they will definitely be able to defeat the Divine Flame Dragon and get the King's bounty! ”

Very formal speech, some people listened, some people didn't.

Making such an impassioned speech before the battle began must have been one of Charles's methods.

He's strong, but he can't lead an organization that's all adventurers. The only way to do that is to focus their attention on the 'bounty'.

After all, adventurers are not members of a charitable organization, even if there are guys with a sense of justice. The main purpose must also be the high bounty.

In addition, Hiiragi can't rule out that there will be the kind of guy who 'the bounty will increase when other people die' and then sneak up on other people at the end.

Charles's speech continued, and he tried to motivate these people.

"I think you will definitely be able to complete this mission, because I know that you are all strong, and you have the rarest but most powerful team of adventurers [Steel]-level to join."

Charles brings the conversation to Hiiragi and Ainz.

The adventurers looked at Hiiragi and the two, some began to whisper, and some cast admiring glances.

Ainz is already very powerful in appearance, but Hiiragi also looks like he hasn't exercised much at all, and at first some people thought that [Nangong Hiiragi is also a mage] [Momo is a melee knight], but in fact it is the opposite.

"With their help, our success rate will be greatly improved! In addition, we have a very reasonable number of classes, eight melee fighters, three guerrillas, seven tank fighters, three magicians, and one bard. ”

With his hands outstretched, Charles said confidently with a large campfire as a backdrop

"There are not many people, but they are all elites, let's defeat the enemy this time together and defeat them!"

After a period of 'stirring up', Charles began to assign their respective tasks.

He gathered several captains together and discussed the arrangement of the troops.

By the way, the person who went in place of Hiiragi's team was Nagi, which was tacitly acquiesced by Ainz and Nabe.

After the battle was set, the sun had slowly risen, and the first rays of sunlight illuminated the forest in front of them, and everything was revived.

But the people here are all serious-looking, and the next battle is not a joke.

The way to the volcanic mountain was very peaceful, after all, this is also the activity area of the Divine Flame Dragon, how dare ordinary monsters inhabit here.

After passing through the forest, he moved to the other side through the large trees that fell between the canyons.

Along the way, the magician uses a minimum magic consumption to form a magic method to expel the surrounding fog, not afraid of 10,000 in case.

Cautious actions tend to cause disgust among some adventurers, and these rough guys leave the group and walk briskly forward.

There was no way, and everyone's actions were also accelerated a lot at this time.

The ash has brought fertilizer to the land as well as the disaster, and it seems that the volcano has not erupted recently, otherwise the surrounding forests and distant mines would have been devastated.

"Don't be separated from me, Nagi."

"I understand, but once the battle starts, I will retreat to the rear, you can rest assured that you can fight on the front line, I will not die until Xiao is also killed."

"Why does it sound so realistic, don't say it, it's not far away."

Walk side by side with Ainz and Nabe.

Even in such a mission, Ainz was still very careful.

Ainz is such a person, pretending to be forced when he should be forced and careful when he should be careful.

"Xiaoya, do you smell any ......"

"What?"

"The smell of burning, even around the volcano, the smell of burnt doesn't appear here."

"Maybe something else is burnt."

Overhearing the conversation between the two men, Ainz looked ahead.

"The smell of burning...... Well, two, we're almost there. ”

Looking up ahead, the forest was gone, replaced by a ground of black volcanic rock.

The geyser was not far away and spewed white mist, and the magicians summoned the wind currents again to blow the mist away.

The ground under your feet is a little hot, but you haven't reached the ground where you can't land.

"Get ready for battle!"

Charles announced in the ranks.

As if in harmony, Charles's voice had just fallen, and the gushing of the geyser was replaced by the shaking of the ground.

The ground shook, and the adventurers looked up in tacit agreement and looked at the crater not far away.

"Roar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The lava erupted from the volcano, and the thing rode the wind and waves, scattering the lava on the earth.

The Divine Flame Dragon has appeared.

It has a strong body, golden skin, a long, thick neck, a horned or frilly head, sharp teeth, and a tail capable of smashing rocks with ease.

Looking down at the adventurers below, the Divine Flame Dragon fell.

Its body is covered with scales all over its body, which protect it. Its eyes have four layers of eyelids, of which the inner three are transparent to protect the eyes from damage, and it can be said that it is a powerful monster that is naturally fully armed.

Just standing in front of you is like a building.

Some adventurers swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and only after seeing such a monster with their own eyes did they understand why some people chose to give up in front of such a high bounty.

It is impossible for ordinary people to defeat the monster in front of them, and even Mithril-level adventurers don't have much chance.

The frightened adventurers, who had not yet started the battle, took a step back, but Charles in the group walked forward.

"Don't be afraid! Act as you set out at the beginning! The tank stepped forward and cooperated with the warriors to attack, the magicians used support magic to help, and it was also possible to weaken the Divine Flame Dragon! ”

"Roaring !!!!!!"

With another roar, the Divine Flame Dragon began to attack as someone covered their ears.

This is undoubtedly its territory, and it is only natural that humans should be killed.

This is instinctive, after all, dragons like to collect precious objects, and they are worried that humans will come and steal their treasures.

Can you live in a crater, but are there any treasures that can be preserved?

While thinking of this, the Divine Flame Dragon began to attack this side.

As he ran on all fours, flames erupted from his mouth.

"Spread out! He's going to breathe fire! ”

As the commander, Charles commanded the adventurers who had not yet fully acted, and the battle officially began! (To be continued.) )
