Chapter 1: The Young Dragon Slayer
In the northwestern part of the Western Continent world, near the sea, there is a vast glacier.
The temperature here is not very low, and in the middle of summer (assuming that the ice and snow are a little warmer can be called "midsummer"), there are some small green spaces in the glaciers, and there are many creatures such as snow deer and snow foxes that thrive here, adding life to the cold world.
But now, none of these sights are visible, because it is winter, and it is the coldest season of the year. At this time, not to mention the cold seaside glaciers, even in the warmer climate of the Molai area, people usually like to huddle in the house and do not like to go out.
In this season, it is probably the mermaid kingdom and the South China Sea kingdom that can be called pleasant climate. In fact, many of the mainland's wealthy people like to go to the South China Sea in winter and the north in summer to enjoy the good days of spring all year round.
Of course, an important prerequisite for enjoying this kind of life is that you not only have to be rich, but also have a certain strength, and with the help of the teleportation circle to cross most of the Western Continent world, the burden is too great for ordinary people, and it often leads to a variety of injuries and diseases, including extremely dangerous internal organ bleeding.
Although these can be treated, and the efficiency is not bad if they are treated with the help of divine arts, it is a suspicion that there is a lack of brains to toss an internal injury just to avoid the cold and heat.
Interestingly, there are really a lot of characters with less brains in this world. The Church of the Goddess of Water has set up healing centers near official teleportation arrays around the world, providing paid treatment to sick and injured people who come out of the teleportation array, which is quite lucrative.
It is said that His Excellency Paladin Semiramis, who first proposed and presided over this idea, became the new generation of pope by virtue of this merit - although it is generally said that she was able to win the papal throne by buying off most of the church's top brass through the huge wealth she had accumulated over many years of running a cabaret troupe.
...... In fact, the papal throne of the Church of the Goddess of Water is really worthless, and this church is not a powerful organization with a strict and orderly structure like the Church of the God of War or the Church of the God of Order, it itself is quite loosely structured, even if it is a dignified pope, except for the crown on his head, he does not have more authority or status.
However, for Semiramis himself, the crown and its symbolism are the most important values.
It was with this that she stepped into the realm of legends, although she ...... In her legendary skill tree, the acting department is the main one, and the clergy department is only the support.
At this moment, in the ice and snow, there is a team of no small size, facing the howling north wind, trudging with difficulty.
They were all dressed in heavy armor, and the light of magic shimmered on the armor, both to protect them from the cold and to dissolve the power of the wind, allowing them to move with ease. But even so, the large amount of supplies they carried alone was enough to make them extremely tired.
To make matters worse, for some reason, the camels are unusable here, and everything has to be carried by humans. Ordinary supplies are okay and can be stored in space props, but many special things can't be included in space props.
Even though they were all strong, they were sweating profusely. The sweat is transported to the end of the scarf by the enchanted garment, and it is reduced to ice droplets to the ground to keep the body warm.
"Princess Sanya, are we really going to challenge the Ice Dragon this season?" Norton Spike, the vice captain of this team and one of the four commanders of the South Sea Kingdom's Imperial Guard, couldn't help but persuade again, "I don't think this is a wise decision!"
"It's just a street dragon that has been beaten several times, what's there to be afraid of?" The only one in the group who wasn't wearing heavy armor was a beautiful girl with long blue hair and golden eyes, many tiny golden scales on both sides of her neck, and a wonderful and breathtaking rhythm in her voice. If an adventurer is familiar with all kinds of magical creatures here, he will be able to recognize her identity immediately.
She is a merfolk, or rather, at least a creature with strong mermaid blood. Considering that when merfolk are mixed with other species, the mermaid bloodline is often severely weakened, so she is most likely a purebred mermaid. If you consider the golden scales on both sides of her neck, she is likely to be the royal family of the mermaid kingdom, the "Golden Scales".
Since the "Wild Princess" who regularly visited the mainland in the past years became the queen of mermaids, mermaids like this rarely appear on the mainland, let alone in the Northland.
In today's world, there is only one who will often appear on the land of the Western Continent as a member of the Golden Scale Clan.
The princess of the South Sea Kingdom and the Mermaid Kingdom, the link between the two kingdoms of the South China Sea, has the most noble inheritance in the world, and the girl with probably the most powerful bloodline, the dragon-blooded mermaid princess, Sonia Brenny Sea Dragon.
She inherited the blood of an ancient dragon from her father, the beauty and talent of a merfolk from her mother, and terrifying spells from her teacher. When she was on the sea, even if she was a thousand troops, she could not match her.
Many people say that if it weren't for her young age and not yet able to fully grow up, she would have been the overlord of the entire sea.
The title of "future Aquaman" has long been praised by many bards.
And now, the future Sea King is leading an elite army under his father's command, wanting to complete an adventure worthy of his status.
Slay the dragon.
The famous adventurer, nature protector, ranger of the wilderness, pioneer of dark cuisine, always riding a giant black saber-toothed tiger, and the scholar Mavi Grylls once introduced the dragons of the world today in his book "Dragons in the World". In his introduction, the most suitable dragon in the world today as a brave challenge object is this one located in the northwest of the continent.
The immortal and undead dragon, the king of frost, the minions of destruction, the moving blizzard, the shadow of the Northlands, Doreno Karls.
This is a very strange dragon, it has more power than ordinary dragons, and strange beings that will never die. You can defeat it and kill it in the normal way of slaying a dragon, but you can't get any loot from it, because when it dies, its massive body will suddenly collapse and turn into countless ice and snow, spilling all over the ground without leaving a trace.
Because of this, apart from a few warriors who want to prove their might, almost no one will try to challenge this terrifying existence.
From its appearance to the present, in just over ten years, it has turned the northwest of the continent into its territory of more than 3,000 miles, and has also attracted many challengers.
And today, a new challenger is coming.
