The flames burned for a while and then did not rekindle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The members of the Info Adventurer squad finally breathed a sigh of relief...... It's finally alive.

Stepping out of the cave and probing, it seemed that the flames had passed. The cold wind was already blowing, but not a single trace of snow could fall on this freshly scorched land.

"Cut off the horse's flesh and keep it for later use. ”

The members of the team had not eaten for a morning, and they were very hungry when they smelled the roasted horse meat.

Thorin instructed the team to cut off the horse's flesh from the fire. "Cut as many muscles as you can, salted them so we can keep them for days. "Actually, in such a cold winter, you can keep it for a long time even if you don't have to deliberately preserve it, but Thorin hopes for the future. He's going to think further afield!

"Give it to you Archmage, it's inconvenient for you to take it, let's give you this part first. Nicos handed the freshly cut meat to the king. They are carefully shaved ribs and legs.

"Thank you!" Wang Cuo accepted unceremoniously.

The other party happily went to cut some more.

Thorin came to Wang Cuo's side and said with a hesitant expression, "Archmage, what should we do next?" Now he couldn't think of any way, and facing the dragon made this conceited and experienced adventurer leader still a little afraid.

Wang Cao looked at the mountain peaks above with the occasional flames...... It seems that Gazrila was so confident in her flame that she stopped continuing after just one time.

"Go down the mountain, even if the flames are still burning, the wind direction around the mountain is upward, and the bottom should have receded a lot, let's go down the mountain and walk out of the main road around the mountain to Vanna City. ”

The king said what he thought, and everyone nodded. Now I can only listen to the advice of this archmage.

Without the means of transportation, everyone could only walk down the mountain, but fortunately, the heat had passed. Although there is still some temperature around me, the stones under my feet are fine.

Glore is surrounded by the mountains, and the original aborigines of the mountains have moved to live under the mountain, and after being burned by the flames of the dragon Gazrila, the foot of the mountain at this time is as miserable as hell on earth.

"Oh my God! what did it do? ”

Everyone looked at the village after the flames, and the whole ground seemed to be charred black earth.

Lisa touched the tree in her hand, and instantly turned into powder and scattered to the ground...... There was nothing alive at a glance, and the humanity on the ground was scorched, and the cold wind blew it away.

"It's all our fault, it's all our fault!" Lisa cried as she collapsed into Nickos' arms.

If only we hadn't taken the mission, if only we hadn't entered the cave.

"No, not us. It's the dragon. It was he who took over the dwellings of the villagers, it was he who drove away the villagers in the mountains, and it was he who burned all the villagers and the entire mountains with the flames...... He's going to pay the price, and we should rush back to the city as soon as possible to report the incident to the Wizards' Guild so that they can send troops to sanction this arrogant dragon. "Thorin is a veteran captain who knows how to turn emotions to boost the morale of his teammates. He looked at Wang Cuo, hoping to get the other party's affirmation.

"Archmage, are you right?"

Everyone turned to look at themselves.

"That's right. The Sorcerers' Guild will judge the dragon. Wang Cuo could only say against his will. Don't talk about resisting the dragon, you don't want to come back, and with the strength of the magician association in Vanna City, it's good not to lure the dragon into the city, not to mention that you can't run if you resist.

With the affirmation of the archmage, the knots in the hearts of the team members seemed to be untied.

"Then let's go back quickly and reorganize our troops to avenge the villagers. ”

"Yes, revenge for the villagers. It's time to teach this dragon a lesson. ”

It was believed that the dragon must have returned to its sleeping place to rest, and that it had not left the Glore Ring Mountain or the cave.

Walk past burned villages...... Under his own special eyes, Wang Cuo could see the struggles of those souls who had just died.

If you can meet the dragon, you will be avenged by doing so. He walked at the back of the line...... Closing his eyes, another black figure was constantly collecting this group of wandering souls.

When the last soul was devoured, Wang Cuo's face showed a sinister smile that even he hadn't noticed.

It's so beautiful, and so is the life that has been lost.

Hehe...... Hahaha...... He laughed inwardly.

........................

Without horses to travel, the adventurer's squad had to return on foot for several days. Rest when you're tired and try to find some shelter from the wind and snow. The luggage and tent were destroyed by fire on horseback. Fortunately, I prepared jerky, otherwise it would have been a problem to even eat along the way.

No one expected the reverberations of the dragon to be so shocking, and everything that could be burned along the way was burned. Even the snow that fell on the scorched ground could not form a cover, and it almost melted away when it hit the ground, and even when you walked out of the burned area, there were no animals to be seen. It's as if everyone has migrated en masse in an instant.

The people had to go back the way they came, eating all the horse meat they had cut before, and when they were thirsty, they used snow to melt water.

It wasn't until the evening of the third day that a procession was seen approaching from afar.

"What do you see ahead?" shouted the team member who was at the front.

In the distance, there seemed to be a group of soldiers on horseback, all fully armed, looking like an iron wall of armor...... Wang Cuo always felt that he had never seen this kind of costume before.

"It's a paladin! Oh, in the realm of Vanna City. ”

Thorin looked at the troops in the distance, then waved excitedly. The rest of the team did the same.

It's a paladin!No wonder you think you've seen it somewhere......

"We're here. ”

The troops in the distance had already seen their own troops, and immediately turned their horses' heads to think about coming this way.

The leader was an uncle who looked to be in his thirties, approaching the team with a serious face.

"Hello, are you a team of adventurers, why are you still wandering outside on such a cold day?" he swept over the members of the team, and his tone sounded haughty and majestic.

"Hello Knights, we are a group of adventurers in Vanna City, and we have encountered an accident in the Glore Ring Mountain and are about to rush back to the city. Thorin said.

Glore surrounded the mountains, and when he was talking about this place, Wang Cuo noticed that the paladin's eyes changed slightly.

"Where did you come from, and what happened?" the paladin's tone remained tepid.

"Yes, sir. We were on our way with the Archmage on our mission around the Glore Mountain, and we ran into some trouble along the way. Lisa also seemed to sense that the other party's condescending tone was uncomfortable. Pretending to lend the identity of the king, after all, in the disparity of status, the archmage is the only identity honor that can be equivalent to that of a paladin.

Sure enough, I heard the paladin led by the archmage look at the people in the team again, and finally stopped at Wang Cuo.

"I've heard that there's a young archmage in Vanna City who has been out lately. He dismounted and walked over to Wang Cuo.

"Paladin, Aratu. ”

"I'm Archmage Wang Cuo, hello Mr. Knight. The two finally exchanged pleasantries on an equal footing.

"I've heard from Pastor Essolda that there is a great young archmage in Vanna City, but the archmage was already on the road when I came. Today, I am fortunate to see that it is as young as rumored. "Alatu's performance in front of people of status is much gentler.

A group of knights dismounted.

"Tell me the truth, Archmage. The other day we saw a sudden fire in the sky around the Glore Mountain, and we were about to send someone to investigate...... I happened to meet the archmage coming back, what happened over there?"

The other party's purpose is similar to what he thinks.

"It's a dragon, and there is a dragon in the mountains. ”

Dragons! The paladins all changed their expressions when they heard the word.
