Although Krent was not familiar with the Dark Elf Graveyard as a guard, he had been there a few times, so he still had some impressions of it. Although Krent could no longer remember what was written on the metal plate, when Marcos wrote the letters from memory, he quickly relayed the contents to the two in Araddian. I have to say, Marcos is really glad that he has a dark elf friend now.

The metal tablet contains the general location of the dragon's body parts sealed in the Dark Elf Graveyard, as well as the existence of the skeleton monster that the Dark Elves call the Skeleton General. Marcos couldn't help but wonder if the skeleton monsters were leading an army of skeletons?

"I didn't find the body of the guard, and that's the weirdest part. Marcos looked at Krent, hoping that the other man would know something.

"Didn't even find the bones?" asked Krent.

"Yes, but there was no trace of the ghouls at the scene, so I guess it was a skeleton monster or a ghost attacking the guards. In addition, it is known that the key to the mausoleum carried by the guards was missing. ”

Krent's brow furrowed, which was the point that made him feel most anxious. For him, there is only one possibility that the key will be missing, and that is to be snatched by the Skeleton General. But usually no one wants to believe in such a thing, what does a skeleton monster want a key? It's hard to believe. "I'm almost certain that the key was taken by a monster in the graveyard, and most likely a skeleton general. ”

"What do they want keys for?" Marcos asked the most crucial question, and one he was most interested in.

"Skeleton Generals are monsters that guard the existence of the dragons, so once they find a way to fully restore the dragon's powers, they will use the key to unlock the tomb's chains, and then restore the dragon to its original appearance before being dismembered by the Dark Elves mage. Krent replied.

"But it's weird, since you know about the existence of the skeleton generals, why don't you find a way to kill them?" Karl asked, confused.

Krent smiled wryly and shook his head, "They exist and they don't exist at the same time. As guardians of the dragons, they will only appear when they are supposed to. ”

"To put it more colloquially, they are the product of evil thoughts created by evil dragons. Marcos added.

Carl nodded, "Well, that's a tough one. ”

"I've been studying the notes left by the Dark Elf mage who dealt with the dragon for a month, and maybe we can try the unfulfilled solution written in the note. Considering the fact that it was very likely that the dragon would regain all of its strength, the cautious Dark Elf mages never adopted it. Krent's words were undoubtedly what Marcos would like to hear the most, and his words meant that it was possible to kill the dragon completely. Of course, his boasting that he would destroy the evil dragon also gave him a glimmer of hope.

"What is it?" Marcos asked.

Krent walked over to the wooden box he had placed in his tent, and after a moment of searching, pulled out a yellowed piece of parchment. The two thought it was something the Dark Elf mage had left behind, and while they didn't know how Krent got it, they guessed that the Dark Elf mage was most likely related to Krent. Krent walked back to the table and placed the parchment on it.

"Collect the remains of the dragon scattered throughout the Dark Elf graveyard, including the dragon's claws, scales, and bone fragments. The Dark Elf mages who sealed the dragon didn't have the ability to deal with the remains, so they buried them in the Dark Elf Graveyard. As I said, it's an undead monster. The note states that the collected items were sealed with magic, possibly reducing the power of the evil dragon's head, thus killing it entirely. But there is also a risk that if these remnants from different parts of the dragon's body absorb the magic, then there is a good chance that the dragon will fully recover. ”

The key point is that the notes don't detail what kind of magic should be used to seal different parts of the dragon's body. Of course, the wreckage must be collected first, which is a lot of work and there are many dangers. But Marcos is clearly not more focused on these two points now, he asked Krent. "Is the dragon's head sealed in the mausoleum?"

"That's right, the mages couldn't eliminate its head by any means, so they could only seal its head intact in the deepest part of the cemetery. If you've been there, you've already discovered that the head of the evil dragon is located in a cavern in the middle of the cemetery, which is the deepest place. Krent replied.

"So just look for the remains of those dragons based on what's on the metal cards, right?"

"I think we can give it a try, because there's no other way to kill the dragon. ”

Marcos smiled confidently, "I think there's a good chance that this will work, as long as my guess is correct." ”

"What speculation?" asked Krent.

Whether or not the dragon is truly "unkillable", I think we'll find out soon. Marcos smiled mysteriously.

Soon, Krent told the men of Borken how to deal with the dragon. Unfortunately, Marcos and the others are going to work with Gal again. Although the latter always has a disgusting attitude, she is still very reliable in solving problems. Of course, a person like her was not surprised by Marcos's safe return, she just thought it was another adventurer's good fortune. Boken, on the other hand, was very happy about Marcos's return, and as a guy who had known him for many years, he was worried about the safety of the other party, even if he was not a friend.

Until you've cleaned up the monsters in the Dark Elf graveyard, there's no way to collect the remains of the dragon. And Krent hopes that the adventurers who go to the Dark Elf Graveyard will be able to successfully eliminate the four skeleton generals and recover the key to the tomb, which is also necessary to enter the tomb. Although they don't know what kind of monster the other party is, Marcos and Carl have already begun to prepare sword oil and silver bullets containing chemical components. Boiling sword oil was the only alchemy Marcos knew, and he used the most rudimentary and primitive method of boiling - setting a pot on the campfire, then adding the ingredients of sword oil to the pot, and then all he had to do was wait except to observe the situation in the pot from time to time.

Cooking sword oil for three people at a time kept Marcos a little busy, and tending to three pots at the same time made him think it was hell. But he can't help it, and the lovely Fett and Anna don't know how to boil sword oil, so they can only do it themselves. But Fett still tried to show the best interest she could, even though she had almost always been oblivious to the things.

"Where did you learn how to boil sword oil?" Fett asked Marcos.

Marcos tended to the ingredients in the three pots as he added firewood to the campfire. "Norton, Maffeo and I often go to him to buy alchemy potions. ”

"But isn't it usually a blacksmith's business to boil sword oil?"

"My dear Fett, the blacksmiths don't know how to boil alchemy, how do you think they know how to boil sword oil? If it weren't for the help of the Alchemists' Guild, they would have one less commodity to sell. Marcos replied with a smile.

"You seem to like trying to learn things you don't understand. Fett sighed, still not knowing what she thought Marcos should look like.

"If you can learn to calm down, that's great. Marcos looked up and smiled at Fett. "Don't be angry, it's just my advice. ”

Hearing Marcos's words, Fett was suddenly stunned, and then the words that Camille had said to herself a few days ago rang in his head. The point is not that Camille saw through Marcos's thoughts, but that Fett was surprised that Marcos wished he could learn to calm down. She looked at Marcos, who was busy and sweating, with a complicated expression.
