Under the cover of the darkest hour before dawn, a man and a dragon finally landed safely and soundly in a deserted alley in the city of Myratma before dawn.

Since most of the city's inhabitants are now gathering in the streets near the Lord's Mansion to celebrate the defeat of the evil Red Dragon and his army of monsters by the Heroes.

Almost all of them were drunk.

Even the guards on the walls were no exception.

So no one noticed that the real "culprit" had entered the city and transformed into a young and beautiful woman.

I have to say!

Vermes is somewhat similar to Alena when he maintains his human form.

Whether it is the conspicuous red dress, or the pride revealed in the eyes, it is the same.

The only difference is that Alena even has red hair and pores, and there is a very obvious energy overflow.

Unless someone takes the initiative to provoke her, she will not take the initiative to attack for no reason.

So if nothing else, Alena should awaken the fire elemental bloodline, not the red dragon bloodline.

In contrast, Vermes, the color dragon, is more greedy and brutal, even using killing and destruction as a pastime to pass the time of boredom.

Fortunately, there are strange things to restrict, otherwise Zuo Si is really not sure that he can control this impulsive red dragon.

"Where are we going now?"

Wilmes asked in a low voice as he glanced at the dilapidated houses and dirty alleys around him.

Zuo Si replied bluntly: "Of course, I went to the lord's mansion to get the other half of my reward." But before I do that, I'm going to drop by a secret warehouse. It should be around here. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out the note that Muk had given him before he died, glanced at it twice, and soon locked on to an inconspicuous old building.

Like Manon's dusty warehouse, there doesn't seem to be much of an inhabitation here.

So he directly cast the second ring [percussion technique], opened the door locked from the inside, and then stood at the door and pointed, signaling Vermes to take the lead.

Realizing that Zuo Si was using himself as a "meat shield" again, the latter rolled his eyes angrily, but still walked straight in.

As a result, as soon as he passed through the entrance, the three-eyed demon spider lying in ambush on the roof fell from the sky and tried to attack the red dragon that had turned into a human form.

However, as soon as they got closer, they were immediately severely burned by the [Flame Aura] surrounding the red dragon, and inevitably fell into fear, madness, and chaos.

Vermes casually picked up a war hammer placed on the shelf at the base of the wall, and knocked all the three-eyed demon spiders he raised alive in three or two strokes, not even bothering to use his innate magic ability.

No doubt.

Under the suppression of absolute power, these magical creatures that are enough to scare ordinary adventurers are as easy for the red dragon as ordinary people crushing their own annoying little bugs.

With the detection ring [Detection Secret Door], Zuo Si found the secret compartment where the magic items were hidden without much effort, and took out a black box from inside.

When I opened it, it turned out to be two belts. …

One of them is the [Inertia Obstacle Belt], which effectively reduces the physical damage dealt by blunt, slashing, and piercing weapons.

As for the other one, it is the [Hill Giant Power Belt], which can add an additional three strength attributes to the wearer.

Obviously, these two belts are not used by Zuo Si himself, but are more suitable for cautious hand-to-hand warriors like the orc Ritter and the soldiers.

And the [Magic Resistance Belt] on his own body is really suitable for spellcasters.

After sweeping through Mook's last secret warehouse where magical items were hidden, Zuo Si returned to the lord's mansion with Vermez, who maintained his human appearance.

When he appeared in the crowded hall, the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet.

Almost all the guests who were invited to the celebration party put down their food and wine glasses and stood up and began to applaud.

When Zuo Si passed in front of them, each of them would bend down and bow deeply.

This is both a necessary gratitude to the "hero" who solves the crisis, but also a reverence for the terrifying magical power that this boy who looks like he is about ten years old.

After all, when the chaotic magic storm is formed, anyone who is not blind can see it clearly.

Coupled with the purgatory scene of thousands of corpses and rotten flesh piled up in the monster camp outside the city, and a powerful and evil red dragon being killed alive, then cramped, skinned, and deboned......

It is not surprising that the ruling class in Myratma City would react in this way.

Count Wicks Target, who was the lord, immediately stood up from his seat and said loudly with a smile on his face, "Look who this is?" Our hero has finally returned from his personal errands! Ladies and gentlemen! I propose that all raise their glasses and pay homage to the miracle that Lord Sos has done tonight. ”

"To the hero who saved Myratma!"

"To the great dragon slayer warriors!"

"Cheers!"

……

With deafening cheers, everyone, both men and women, raised their glasses and drank them all.

Only Zuo Si himself took a glass of dark red wine from the servant's hand, put it to his lips, and symbolically made a fake drinking motion.

If it weren't for the etiquette, he wouldn't even touch these alcoholic beverages brewed in the original way.

God knows whether the person who tramples on these grapes after picking them is a fair-skinned and beautiful girl, or a man covered in sweat.

What's more, he is still a bit clean, and the thought of drinking someone else's "foot washing water" will cause inexplicable discomfort and nausea psychologically.

"Who's this lady behind you?"

Count Wicks Target noticed Vermes and asked in a curious whisper.

"She's also a member of the team, and she was in charge of scouting and collecting information in the monster camp before, so she never showed up."

Zuo Si casually lied and confused the past.

Thankfully, Arowline sat far enough away not to hear this.

Otherwise, as a holy warrior, she would definitely stand up and debunk it mercilessly.

Hearing that he was a member of the dragon slaying team, Count Wicks Target was immediately in awe, hurriedly said two words of thanks and compliments, and then took out the generous reward that had been prepared for a long time. …

I saw him open the heavy box that had just been carried up by several servants, pointed to the pile of golden coins inside, and said, "Here are 40,000 gold coins."

In addition to the 25,000 gold I promised, I added 15,000 gold as an extra thank you for killing the red dragon.

Although this amount of money is far from worth everything you do.

But it costs a lot of money to rebuild villages and resettle refugees.

My family and I simply can't get anything more. ”

Zuo Si nodded very reasonably: "I can understand your difficulties, these are enough." ”

"Thank you. In addition to the gold coins, I also prepared two magic items and a spell book that had been kept by my family ancestors for more than three hundred years. ”

As he spoke, the Earl directly pulled out a long sword inserted in the sheath and handed it to Zuo Si.

Moment!

The sword's body burned with a blinding, bright red fire.

There was no need for additional introductions and explanations, everyone present recognized that this was a magic weapon [Flame Sword] that was quite famous in the Faren Continent.

It is usually not very high in enchantment level, but it does have the ability to inflict additional burns on enemies on hit.

It can often be a miracle when dealing with beasts that are naturally afraid of fire, or powerful monsters like trolls that are restrained by fire.

"Very good +1 [Flame Sword]."

Zuo Si took it in his hand and glanced at it twice, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Because don't look at the enchantment level of this thing, it's only +1, but it can't stand the appearance of extreme style, and the scope of application is quite wide.

Not only can it be used as a weapon, but it can also be used as a torch for lighting, and it can easily be sold for 8,000 or even tens of thousands of gold coins when you get Am.

"If you like it, it's fine.

The second is the [Spell Buff Headband], which allows the wearer to add two to each of the one-ring spell slot and the two-ring spell.

While it may be a little low-level for a powerful mage like you, it's already the best I can come up with.

Finally, there is this spell book that the family has treasured for many years, and it is said that an ancestor got it when he was out on an adventure.

However, due to the blessing of some powerful protective spells, no one has been able to open it. ”

As he spoke, Count Wicks Target handed over the sapphire-encrusted headband along with a heavy book.

From that almost flattering attitude, it is not difficult to see that he is trying to win over Zuo Si.

He wanted to use the latter's power and prestige to intimidate the other lords in the surrounding area, as well as the Kalinshan Emperor, who had been eyeing the south to annex the Tassel kingdom again and restore the glory of the Shane dynasty.

Zuo Si knew this well and showed a tacit attitude.

Anyway, this is nothing to lose for him, and he can still maintain a good relationship with a nobleman who owns a large territory, so why not? . .
