Chapter 1: A New Journey

――Wren――

When Hobed led a group of warriors into the eighth master's room the next day,

Wren had already left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hopot seemed relieved to see the empty room.

At this time, Wren had already led those who were willing to follow him to advance towards the Bronze City.

plus the original Dragon Eagle and White Wolf people,

They now have a total of one hundred and ninety-eight people, and Wren directly adapted all of them, using the title of the Dragon Eagle Mercenary Regiment.

Now the Dragon Eagle Mercenary Group has become a sub-group of the Little Daisy Mercenary Group, and Wren has become the sub-leader to manage the Dragon Eagle Mercenary Group.

Since the griffriffin didn't see Shaanna, it didn't listen to Wren's instructions at all.

In order to lead everyone on the journey to find Shaanna as soon as possible, Wren can only let the Griffin wait for Shaanna alone, who has not returned for a long time.

In the Bronze City, Wren found an auction house and sold the Thundering Shield.

A total of 300,000 gold coins were auctioned, and after deducting the 3% commission drawn by the auction house, 291,000 gold coins were finally obtained.

Due to the huge amount, the auction house exchanged the gold coins for the financial crystal card that Angnorr used in the world and gave it to Rennes.

This card is produced by the Magic Guild and can be withdrawn from any Mage Guild bank in the Eastern Continent.

This kind of card is not available to anyone, and the bank needs the user to deposit 100,000 gold coins before issuing the card.

After the auction of the Thundering Shield, Wren rushed to Black Sword Bay with everyone non-stop.

He planned to stay here for a short time and buy an armed merchant ship capable of running transport at sea.

In this way, the mercenary group can take on the mission of the mercenaries at sea, and can also sail with them to the United Empire of Rice Eagle.

In Blacksword Bay, Wren unexpectedly meets an old acquaintance, Mr. Hoofdent.

He has been reduced to a beggar begging in the streets.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that the grain he was transporting had been forcibly conscripted away by the army.

The army only threw Mr. Hoofdent an army IOU and left, saying that it would be paid after the war.

And the army that called up the rations was none other than the White Wolf Legion led by Onilu before.

Thinking that Mr. Hoofdent was a merchant and had a friendship, Wren decided to take him on board,

Put him in charge of future maritime trade.

The armed merchant ship bought the Elite class, the largest of the destroyer class, and named it the Dragon Eagle.

The elite-class destroyers purchased by the Rongen Empire can be equipped with up to a total of twenty flanking guns,

Two or three guns can also be placed in the bow and stern, and two heavy howitzers can be added to the deck.

The standard Elite-class destroyer cost Wren a total of 150,000 gold coins, thanks to Mr. Hovddent's help in chopping 10,000 gold coins.

The 150,000 gold coins bought a bare ship, but it didn't have any weapons, interior decorations, or even sails.

Wren spent another 50,000 gold coins to carry out the most basic renovation of the ship, so that all the members of the mercenary group could live on the ship.

The renovation of the entire ship took two weeks.

During this time, Wren found a local black market merchant and bought four rusty iron cannons for fifteen thousand gold each, and five hundred rounds of artillery ammunition for one gold each.

Artillery is so expensive because the manufacturing process of such a thing is only mastered by a few large countries, and small countries like the Ryon Empire are not yet able to produce them on their own.

Occasionally, the black market merchants buy obsolete products smuggled from large countries, and their performance and safety are difficult to guarantee.

After some tossing, the Dragon Eagle finally looked like it and began to have the firepower of a junior frigate.

The 291,000 gold coins from the sale of the Thunder Shield now have 350,000 left.

The mercenaries were then paid weekly salaries, and experienced captains, first mates, navigators, and sailors were hired to steer the ships.

Conservatively calculated, 350,000 gold coins can probably be used for them for more than a year.

But Wren won't be satisfied with that, he needs more money to find Shaanna.

――The Eighth Master and the Water Moonγ€œ

Shui Yue and the Eighth Master walked out of the portal and came to the outskirts of Yong'an City, the capital of the Tang Dragon Empire.

Yong'an City is far larger than any major city in the Wing En Empire.

This sprawling city consists of two cities, light and dark, and six satellite cities in addition to them.

They are the six cities of fire, water, earth, wood, electricity, and Austria.

Each one is the size of the White Rock City of the Glory Kingdom, and the two inner cities are even larger to the point that one is equivalent to four satellite cities.

The eighth master was originally from the Tang Long Empire, and he came back this time to persuade his younger brother,

In the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dragon Empire, he called on several great powers - the Wild Bear Empire, the United Empire of the Rice Eagle, and the Aotian Holy Sect Nation,

Together, form an Outland Invasion Resistance.

This matter has to be reverted back to after the eighth master teleported with Shui Yue, Mo He and Rooney.

The destination of that teleportation stone was the southern continent, the Dragon Island.

The island has never been discovered by outsiders.

Because it has a spatial barrier around it, anyone who touches it will immediately penetrate the other side of the barrier.

It's as if there is no land in between.

Dragon Island is home to all the dragons in the world of Adornoor today, and they will never leave Dragon Island for generations to come without a special calling.

Because the Dragon Island hides a secret, and this secret is related to the safety of the entire world of Adornore.

In the deepest part of Dragon Island, there is an ancient ruin, and this ancient ruin is a huge tower.

This tower is not tall or large, and it is not something that can be built in today's world.

There is a gate in each of the four directions of the tower, and the door is engraved with three "demon" characters.

Therefore, the local dragon clan usually respectfully calls this tower - Demon Demon Tower.

The gate around the Demon Tower was connected to a huge stone bridge that was several kilometers long, and the material of the stone bridge was so strong that even a dragon of the Great Demon Guide level could not shake it for half a minute.

Underneath the stone bridge is the abyss, and there is a ban in the sky above the abyss, any unit that tries to move from the outside of the large stone bridge,

will lose the ability to fly and fall into the abyss.

The deepest part of the abyss is the core of this world's magical element, and that berserk magical element will instantly transform anything that falls into it into a magical element

At the end of the four stone bridges, four huge ancient dragons are guarded.

They are the East Gate Red Dragon Clan, the South Gate Ice Soul Dragon Clan, the West Gate Poison Dragon Clan, and the North Gate Black Dragon Clan.

These four ancient dragons are there to protect the four huge teleportation arrays in the clan land.

These four giant teleportation arrays are able to leave the Dragon Isle and go anywhere in the world of Adornoor.

The Demon Tower will randomly spawn some creatures coming in from the Outlands.

Some of these creatures are weak, some are powerful, and as long as they enter the teleportation array, they may disturb the entire ecology of Endonor.

Both the Eighth Master and Angna suspect that the lich that appeared this time is the fish that slipped through the net of the demon tower that infiltrated the world of Dornoor several years ago.

This demon tower is connected to the outer realm, and the eighth master promised to take Rooney back to the demon domain because of the existence of the demon tower.

Each floor of the Demon Tower has a portal, and the portals all lead to a new world.

Legend has it that there are a total of 1,000 floors of the Demon Tower, and the first 999 floors are all visible, and the god of Aotian lives on the last invisible thousandth floor.

The portal inside the Demon Tower is not something that can be used casually.

Activating them requires a huge amount of energy, which usually comes from the Energy Crystals and various exotic stones in the production tower.

Of course, to send Rooney back, the eighth master did not dig up the energy crystal by himself.

Usually, the dragons store a large amount of energy crystals for use at critical moments.

So the eighth master shamelessly took credit to Angna again.

Rooney broke the magic contract with the eighth master before returning to the Demon Domain.

And there is another reason why the eighth master brought Shuiyue and Mo He to Dragon Island.

Because when Angna returned to the lich reception hall, she used sound transmission magic to tell the eighth master a secret alone:

Depra the Lich is building a portal to bypass the Lehibi's Tower.

He wanted members of their Lich Clan to come and rule the world of Adornore.

No one knows where Depra the Lich has gone, but he must still be doing it somewhere in Adornor.

Therefore, Angna needs the help of the eighth master to unite the various powers of the world of Endonor to form an invasion resistance.

At the same time, he also sent people to the Western Continent to ask the Elven Queen to give more revelations about Andonor's future fate.

Therefore, the eighth master took Shuiyue back to the Tang Dragon Empire to take charge of the affair and invasion of the resistance.

And Mo He went to the Western Continent alone to seek the help of the Elf Queen.

- Shaanna -

In the most economically prosperous state and city of the Rice Empire, Racetala,

In an aristocratic manor, the Earl of Camp was roaring and reprimanding his men.

"You bunch of waste, your senior bodyguard certificates were bought with money?

A group of men dressed in civilian clothes and wearing leather armor did not dare to wipe their faces with their heads bowed and let Count Kamp's spit fly on their faces.

"Why are you standing stupidly? Enrollment will start tomorrow.

If you can't find Mistress Shaanna before sunset today, come to me. ”

After Count Camp said a harsh word, he spun his fat body around and left the room.

Only then did the plainclothes bodyguards react and hurriedly rushed out of the earl's manor.

In fact, Shaanna did not leave the Earl's Court, she just hid in a certain study in the Earl's Court.

She is working on how to return to the route of the Ryon Empire.

The first time she disappeared, she left the Earl's Manor without any preparation, and she was soon blinded,

Don't know which direction to go.

In the end, she was found by the bodyguards sent by the Earl to protect her.

Now Shaanna had found the map, but the dense number of place names and routes on the huge map made Shaana's eyes widen.

The map is a bilingual version of the United Empire of Rice Eagle Chinese and the universal language of the world (Tang Dragon Emperor Chinese), and Shaanna can still find the Rongen Empire from above.

It's just that she doesn't have the ability to travel through so many places at all now.

She rang out that the fat uncle had been saying that he would take her to the Mondrus Academy of Magic Martial Arts, where she could learn very powerful magic and make her more powerful.

Shaanna tilted her little head and thought for a while, then she re-rolled up the huge map and put it into the green storage ring that the Eighth Master had given her.

She temporarily dismissed her plan to go to the Rongen Empire, walked out of the study directly, and took the initiative to meet a team of patrol guards.

Shaanna asked them to take her to the Count.

"Lady Shaanna has decided to go to school?!

When Count Camp heard Shaanna's reply, he smiled from ear to ear, and the flesh on his face and stomach trembled.

"But Shaanna has a request!"

Shaanna pouted at the fat uncle who couldn't bear to look at her.

"Oh?!Lord Shaanna, if you ask for anything, I will do my best to do it. ”

Count Camp bowed to Shaanna with a smile, but there was so much fat in his stomach that he couldn't see that he was bending over.

"Shaanna, don't wear the clothes you gave you. ”

After listening to Shaana's request, Count Camp turned into a wry smile on his face.

"This ...... Lady Shaanna, you'll have to change your clothes. It's going to be hard to wear just one dress to the academy. ”

"Hmph! Shaanna just doesn't wear those weird clothes of yours. Otherwise I don't want to go to school. ”

Hearing Shaanna's outrageous request, Count Camp seemed a little embarrassed.

Count Camp wiped his sweat with a silk handkerchief while quickly turning his mind to think of a solution.

It didn't take long for him to understand why Shaanna had made such a request.

"Lord Shaanna, how about I send someone to tailor some of your clothes to the style of your clothes?"

Shaanna refused to wear the clothes that Count Camp had provided because they were uncomfortable and not conducive to running.

Hearing that Camp was going to make her new clothes according to the clothes on her body, she nodded in satisfaction and agreed.

With Shaanna's consent, the Count of Camp clapped his hands and called his men, and told them to inform the Count's personal tailor to come at once.

Twenty sets of Shaanna's style clothes were made overnight.
