"You're the one who solved the incident at the cemetery?"

Receiving a commission from the guild that indicated herself, Natsuhime followed the address on the commission to the client's house, which was a humble hut on the outskirts of Yangdu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes. ”

The person who asked for the commission to himself was an old man who was over the age of six,

The old man looked at Xia Ji carefully, and the gaze made Xia Ji feel uncomfortable. It wouldn't be a strange commission, would it? But the idea was negated by the old man's words afterwards.

"I really didn't expect that after the magic disappeared, there would be someone who could do such a thing as destroying the dragon, and the old man thought that the human race was finished, although it was only a resurrected incomplete inferior dragon, but this also meant that the human race still had a chance. ”

Hearing the dragon's name, Natsuhime was confused.

"Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

"It's rude. The old man came back to his senses as if he had just noticed Xia Ji, hey, obviously I asked someone before, and you know that this is rude.

Ignoring Natsuhime's inner complaints, the old man began to explain the commission.

"I don't know if you've heard of the Dragon Wars?"

"Dragon Wars? That's not a legend?"

"Sure enough, because it's been so long, it's been a story? The old man began to elaborate.

"The so-called dragon war is a war between dragons and humans that took place 8,000 years ago, it is a struggle between two races for world supremacy, this war between dragons and humans lasted for a hundred years, and finally the dragons were defeated by humans with the help of magic, and the dragons who were powerful soldiers were slaughtered by humans. ”

"Well, that's what the legend says. Natsuhime nodded.

"That's not a legend, it's history. ”

"What?"

"You're also strange, you have killed a dragon in the cemetery, and you still think that the dragon doesn't actually exist?"

"......" actually surprised Natsuhime not that dragons actually existed, but that the hypothesis that humans wiped out a race during the Dragon War was actually true.

"Does that have anything to do with the commission you named me?"

"It's a big deal!" the old man's sudden voice startled Natsuhime.

"Dragon, should be back. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There's one piece of information that has been withheld, and it's about the Dragon War. The old man took a sip of water and moistened his throat.

"Dragons, in fact, are not extinct. ”

"But—"

"I know what you're trying to say, the legend says that the dragon was slaughtered by the angry humans, but that was just a message from the Empire's top brass to stabilize people's hearts. ”

"Actually, there are three-headed dragons, no, it is more appropriate to call them dragon kings, they cannot be killed. ”

"Kill or not?"

"I don't know what that means, but the words appear in the materials that I saw. ”

"Wait a minute, I'm a little out of your tracks. Natsuhime interrupted the old man.

"Do you have any proof, or are you talking nonsense?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Yes, yes, it's the old man who is too excited, after all, he suddenly learned that there is still a power that can compete with the dragon, I hope you can understand, and then the old man will explain it to you well. ”

"First of all, let's start by introducing myself, the old man's name is Melokny Lunders, but the old man's acquaintances call me Mellon, you can call me the old man as well. ”

"Wait, Mellon? isn't—"

"It's rude, the chief magician of the empire in the Age of Magic is the old man. The slightly proud old man failed to notice the anger that flashed in Natsuhime's eyes.

"But that's all in the past, because the magic is gone, the old man who has lost his ability has come here in seclusion in order to avoid the pursuit of some old enemies, of course, you can also sell the old man's information here, but you won't do that if you are willing to stand up for someone and challenge the dragon, you won't do that, right? If you don't, the old man can still provide you with a large amount of money, and the price will never be lower than the price of the old man's head. ”

This so-called large amount of remuneration does not attract Xia Ji very much, for her, the remuneration she gets only needs to ensure her normal life, it is enough. But she let the old man continue.

The old man, who understood Natsuhime's reaction as not believing him, took out a gold-encrusted staff from the cabinet next to him.

"Why? Don't believe in old age? So look at this? This is the staff of the Imperial Gift. ”

Rather than a gold-encrusted staff, perhaps a diamond-encrusted staff would be more appropriate, the head of the staff was wrapped in countless diamonds, and the light refracted through the diamonds made Natsuhime close her eyes and move her gaze to the golden staff, on which the word Mellon was engraved to show who her owner was.

"Now you should believe in the identity of the old man. Mellon, who had retrieved the staff from Natsugi's hand, put away his desire to continue showing off and began to explain, Meron only revealed his identity to make his words more credible.

"Where did you just go? Oh, that's right, I just talked about three dragons that can't be killed, and the only dragons that are alive at the end of the dragon war are these three, one of which has a super self-healing ability, once the damage is caused, it will be restored immediately, and even if it is blown into ashes, it can be resurrected and changed back to its original state, and once the other head is killed, the soul will be transferred to other dragons to obtain more powerful power, that is to say, as long as the dragon is not extinct, it can always be alive, and every time it dies, it will gain more powerful power, but this dragon king was finally killed, although it can be transferred to other dragons, but its soul cannot be attached to the other two dragon kings, so when the dragon other than the last dragon king died, it was also wiped out as well. ”

"And what about the rest of the head?" asked Natsuhime as the old man stopped.

"I don't know. ”

"Don't know?"

"That's right, the third dragon doesn't know what's going on, and there is only one sentence in the record that it can't be killed like the other two dragons, and there is no other information. ”

"And what happened to them?"

"Sealed, the Empire gathered a large number of magicians and sealed them. ”

"Wait, the seal?

"Yes, now that the magic has disappeared, the seal has changed from a double seal of magic and physics to a purely physical seal, and I am afraid that it will not be long before those ancient dragon kings will reign in this world again. ”

"So you're going to give me a commission to destroy those dragon kings?"

"How is that possible!? Isn't that for you to be sent to death? The old man just wants you to investigate these seals to confirm whether the dragon kings have broken through the seals and regained their freedom, after all, they have been imprisoned in the seals for eight thousand years, and there is also the possibility of death. ”

"And what if they break the seal?"

"Then please withdraw immediately, the old man will convey this news to the emperor, and then ask the emperor to gather the strength of all mankind to fight against them, although there is no magic, but with the existence of people like you, there is still a possibility for mankind to win. ”

Natsuki nodded, indicating that she had accepted the commission.

A look of joy appeared on the old man's face, and then he pulled out a map of the empire.

"The locations where the two dragon kings are sealed are in Avaklin in the north and Limberstein in the south, and the old man will mark the specific locations on the map. As he spoke, the old man clicked two dots on the map.

"Take this map, and the seal is in the two places marked on it. ”

"Avaklin and Limberstein, why are they so far away?"

"The reason for this is probably that the magic power of one place is only enough to control one dragon king, so the two dragon kings will be sealed so far apart. ”

Natsuhime nodded, acknowledging that she accepted that, and was about to turn away.

"By the way," the old man struggled to lift the heavy bag on the ground with both hands, "these are the deposits, and when you complete the commission, the old man will pay the other half of the honorarium." ”

Xia Ji, who took the bag, was also taken aback by the weight, "So many gold coins!?"

"There are five thousand gold coins in total, but you are really powerful, and it is not difficult to carry such a bag at all, it seems that you are indeed a capable adventurer. The old man looked at him approvingly, which made Xia Ji a little embarrassed.

"I'm not a big deal at this level, in fact, there are probably a lot of people who are better than me, right?"

"Hahaha," the old man laughed heartily, "what a humble statement, and if the truth is what you say, then it seems that humans really don't need any magic." ”

"By the way, Avakelin and Limberstein, where are you going to go first?"

"Avaklin. The girl replied in an instant.

"Ahh ”

Natsuhime smiled, "It's more fun to deal with unknown enemies, and by the way, I'm going to see how my old friend is doing." The voices of Luo Li and his sister Luo Xue came to his mind, although he didn't want to see them because of his own changes, but Xia Ji finally gave up that idea, and now Xia Ji desperately wanted to know what was going on with them after the magic disappeared.

"It's good to be confident in your own strength, but too much confidence will lead to destruction, or is your strength already to the point where you can compete with the dragon? ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll make my own judgment on that. ”

"That's good, I just hope you don't take it personally, young man. ”

Muttering that it wouldn't be like that, Natsuhime left the humble hut and returned to Yangdu to prepare for the commission.
