The village of Hope is the domain of Viscount Hope, who now lives in Sentia, and bears the Viscount's surname. It is a small village bordered by the Saar barren marsh to the west, about 100 kilometers northeast of Sentia and about 20 kilometers northwest of the ruins of Hubert. The traffic is extremely inconvenient, and it can almost be said to be isolated from the rest of the world. Although the viscount was nominally lord, he had never been there for nearly twenty years, and had only sent people to collect some furs and bone products as taxes every year.

Recently, there have been witch rumors and mysteries in the village of Hope. A local girl named Audrey is suspected of using witchcraft to bring misfortune to the village, including the ghost of farm animals, the torn animals to pieces, terrible sounds, and the strange illness of the inhabitants suffering from weakness of limbs for some inexplicable reason.

Of course, Viscount Hope would not think that the cause of the matter was witchcraft, like those uninformed villagers. He thought it was probably the ghost woman who had wandered in the Saarland Swamp who had come to plague Hope Village again. A similar incident occurred more than twenty years ago, when his father was still a viscount.

Therefore, Viscount Hope issued a bounty task at the Sentia Academy of Magic, asking the adventurer to investigate the cause of the incident, and at the same time confirm whether Audrey is a warlock who has awakened the arcane bloodline, and if so, bring it back to Sentia, and the viscount has other arrangements. The reward for the quest is Hope Village.

Many adventurers felt that this task was good, almost equivalent to giving away a village for nothing, but after being reminded by their companions, they suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Dundee Town, so forget it." ”

Although the village of Hope is almost isolated, it is well known in Centia, except that it is generally only known as "Dundee Town" or "Crocodile Town".

More than 20 years ago, the village of Hope was still the town of Hope, and because of its proximity to the galena mountain range, which is rich in gem minerals, it was regarded as an important base for adventurers. Because of the force and business opportunities they brought, ordinary people also felt that Hope Town was a good place and immigrated there, and the resident population was close to 3,000 at one point.

Dundee, a crocodile who was unknown and had no name at the time, also thought it was a good place to go, so he moved his home there.

Finding that the trade route to Centia, which was close to the Sal Desert Swamp, was dangerous, Viscount Hope the Elder organized a raiding party, but was no match in the swamp and suffered heavy casualties.

So the old Viscount Hope issued a mission: to destroy the crocodile, with a reward of 5000.

Dundee, the famous blonde man at the time, led his team into battle and laid a trap to kill the crocodile when it attacked the caravan.

The crocodile really got into the trap and broke through and escaped after being slashed by the blonde hero.

The blonde hero Dundee led the crowd to chase and kill, from the side of the road into the depths of the swamp, which lasted thirteen minutes.

Then, Hope Town became a sensation: only seven of the thirty people returned, and the famous blonde hero Dundee was dragged into the mire by a crocodile and his bones were gone!

A month later, Dundee, a crocodile who already had a name, returned from injury and launched a frenzied revenge on humans, cutting off the trade route. Although Hope Town organized a few more raids, it only made Dundee's prestige even more prestigious.

So the elder Viscount Hope made the difficult decision to abandon the trade route adjacent to the swamp.

The town of Hope is still thriving. Although there was another ghost woman incident and an ogre attack, it did not affect the overall situation.

Two years later, Hubert slays the dragon, and the town is in ruins by the Dragons of Leadpeak, who have come to take revenge.

Most of the evil creatures in the dragon army were improvised and once the mission was completed, they captured the ruins of Hubert.

The trade route to Hubert disappeared, and the town of Hope became an isolated town.

The old Viscount Hope knew that the town of Hope would inevitably decline if this continued, and he was determined to give it a go. But there were too many evil creatures in Hubert's ruins for the town of Hope to fight, so the old Viscount Hope turned his attention to Dundee, the crocodile.

As a result, everyone knows, Dundee the Crocodile and Dundee Town became known to everyone, and Hope Town became an isolated Hope village, and Little Hope was also the current Viscount of Hope, thus becoming a Viscount.

Viscount Hope, who moved to Sentia, didn't want Hope Village for a long time, but no one took over the plate, and it was a pity to throw it in vain. Now that there is a situation there, let's just use it to benefit the people, and it is the last thing that my lord does for everyone.

Three days later, there was still no one to pick up the task, and Viscount Hope had no choice but to find the good old man Pastor Richard.

Pastor Richard had always been kind-hearted, and he had some connections with Hope Village, so he naturally couldn't refuse. It's not easy to find teammates in this kind of quest that is not profitable and has a long way to go. The priest wants to ask for help from Layla, a righteous girl who has recently come to Centia, but Layla went out a few days ago and is said to not be back for ten days and a half. So he found the newcomer he had recently brought with him, the Ranger Warrior Brad and the Shooter Kailin, and Brad agreed to help, but Kailin was unable to go due to her menstrual period.

It's not easy to find a warrior anymore, and it's even harder to find a mage. Remembering that the father of his daughter Pantia's friend, Mr. Offitt, had asked him to say that his son-in-law, who was a middle-level mage, wanted to do a task to break through the bottleneck, and by the way, he would bring his daughter to increase his knowledge, so Pastor Richard asked with an attitude of giving it a try.

"Mike's outside, you use your magic to contact Kenael, probably this is the location. It's all to help the poor people, and presumably he will gladly agree. Mr. Offitt felt that Mike, since he could make a lot of money at home, would not care about the payment.

"It's great. "Pastor Richard cast a magic spell and got in touch with Kenael, and sure enough, he was answered. This made the pastor feel very relieved, I am not alone. The two sides agreed to meet tomorrow in the village of Hope.

The Priest's Divine Spell is a Tier 4 Divine Magic Communication, which allows the caster to make brief contact with someone they know and know about their approximate location for about 12 seconds. Mages can also be used, but it has become Tier 5.

The straight-line distance between Sanzang Town and Hope Village is more than 150 kilometers, and there are no roads at all. It's hard to say if Mike can get there in a week if they let them go by themselves, but they have Sal. Sal carried Mike and Kena on his back, catching Pig Run, which had been shrunk by Sermena to the size of a suckling pig, and flew at high speed all the way.

Like all first-time dragon riders, Kenael was pale, her legs clinging to Sal, her arms clutching Mike, and her hands clutching Sal's feather ring.

"Kena'er, don't be afraid, hold on. ”

"Don't worry about me. Kenar responded.

"Sal, fly well, hurry up. ”

There is no way, even if Sal flies slowly, Kena is just as scared to death, it is better to fly at high speed to shorten the time.

"It's up to you. ”

Mike secretly gave Sal a "Boeing 747 aerodynamic shroud", and the flight speed immediately increased significantly.

The name "Boeing 747's Aerodynamic Shroud" is a very earthly spell, and needless to say, it must be Mike's own spell.

He had played model airplanes before, and knew some aerodynamics, as well as several model airplanes and the shape of airplanes. Dragons can fly more than 60 kilometers in an hour, double their "run", and burst up to four times as much as they can burst at full strength, which is much faster than the model airplanes that Mike used to play. But from an aerodynamic point of view, no matter how much the dragon stretches its legs and claws, it can't compete with the model aircraft, and there is definitely a lot of room for improvement.

The dragons themselves must have studied this issue, but so far, it seems that nothing has come of it. The mages of the Gu Naise Empire, who like to do research the most and have the strongest research ability, are not interested in caring about the dragon clan at all.

They believe that even a few magical beasts can gallop high in the air with their own talents, but the elite of my great arcane empire can only rely on flying skills to fly slowly for a few minutes. Is it tolerable or unbearable?!

As a result, they carried out large-scale research activities. The ultimate goal is to somehow allow the "elite of my grand arcane empire" to fly at high speed for a long time. One of the results is the Phantom Pony of the 3rd Order Arcane, the Pony exists for hours in hours, although the caster can only run on the ground when the caster level is low, but as long as the caster level is high enough, it can fly, and it can fly as fast as the fastest dragon. The "run" went at a speed of more than 120 kilometers per hour, and the short-term burst approached 250.

Although this is still with the help of external objects, "the elites of my grand arcane empire" are not satisfied, but before they can find a way to fly quickly on their own, the empire will be destroyed in the cataclysm, and there will be no one elite left. Since then, no organization has been able to carry out a special study of that scale, and the matter is gone.

After getting Mike's knowledge of the earth, Ovo quickly realized that there was room for improvement, but he had too many things to do, so he asked Mike to do research and development. It was too difficult for Mike to create new spells or improve the Phantom Pony, so he improved the Tier 1 mage armor by changing the armor structure to form a shield that could effectively reduce air resistance and thus increase flight speed. Very useful for the Pony, "Run" speed exceeds 300 per hour, and burst speed can reach 800. While increasing speed, the oncoming wind blowing on the rider is less due to protection, so it is easier to ride.

Thrall flies fast but not fast enough, and his own speed is less than 70 per hour, and the burst speed is about 130. Now Sal is "running and flying", Mike estimates, 140 to 180.

In a little more than an hour, they were near their destination.

"Ten days later, at noon, I'll come here to pick you up. Wisely, my time is very valuable, but don't make me wait, or I won't care about you. Sal issued a warning.

"No problem, we're waiting for you here. Mike agreed.

"That's the best, I'll get back to work. Unwilling to stay for a moment, Sal immediately spread his wings and rushed back to train what he considered to be a "strong army that sweeps the world".
