The next day, the red sun shone through the glass on Anka's face, and Ankka stretched out and apparently didn't want to come out of sleep yet.

Alan Hi lay on Ankka and quickly slapped it up and down with her cold paws to wake Ankka up.

Alan Xi faced Anka, who was blinking, and said, "Sorry, rude. ”

In the conference room, the lord waited for the rangers returning from Jujin City.

The lord asked, "How's it going, have you found anything?" ”

The Ranger said, "This one looks like he's having some trouble with Ranga. ”

The lord asked, "She's in the Golden City?" ”

After receiving a nod in response, the lord was silent for a while and said, "Then let the one named Anka eat something and go!" After all, I went out hungry from my house and let others know about it, and they thought I was so stingy. ”

Ankka then eats with the lord in the parlour, while Alanhi sits on a chair and chews at the flesh with his front paws, and the lord brings a huge griffon, three people tall.

During this period, the lord broke the silence and said, "This flying dragon of yours is not very big! ”

After saying that, he slapped his griffin and said, "Look at my treasure, the fur is shiny, the claws are sharp, and the wings are the largest among the griffons born together. ”

Anka was stunned for a while while with the meat chop in his mouth, and then just said, "Well, you're raising it very well!" ”

Seeing that Ankka didn't seem to have much interest in his pet, the lord showed a slight displeasure, and then the lord asked, "How did you get this wyvern?" ”

"It's in a cave in Caldara," Ankka said. ”

Ankh then got up and said, "Thanks for the hospitality, I'm leaving now." ”

After saying that, Ankka and Elanshi left under the guidance of the attendants, and then the lord summoned the attendants with some disappointment, and said, "Help me go and inquire where there are dragons for sale." ”

As soon as Ankka left the city, he saw the sky-high mountain peaks to the north.

Alanch said, "It's so high! I remembered Caldara there. ”

Ankha said: "From the foot of the mountain, I thought that this mountain was higher than the main peak of the holy mountain, but the holy mountain stretched all the way to the end of the horizon. ”

Ankka and Ellanch then set out to head to the top of the mountain in search of griffons to rent.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a large number of half-human tall grasses, and those who hurried could only advance cautiously.

"Be careful, there's a thorn in it."

Ankh heard the pedestrian in front of him and shouted, "Sir, why don't you get rid of the grass here so high!" ”

The person in front responded: "Don't dare to remove it, this is the lord's meadow and it is good for us to pass through here." ”

Instead of talking, the men moved forward in silence, and Ankka peeled through the tall grass to find that there were indeed some long, soft balls of thorns growing inside.

Ankh curiously squeezed it in his hand and said, "How can it be dangerous to be so small and soft!" ”

As a result, it didn't take long for Ankka's hand to pinch the thorn ball to itch, and Ankka's shaking hand eased a lot after being washed with water handed over by Elanshi.

Ankh shouted, "It's amazing, Elanshi, sit on my shoulder!" My legnails should be able to defend against this kind of thing. ”

Alan Xi shook his body and said, "It's okay, my scales are also very hard, and they should be able to effectively defend against it." ”

Because the tall grass was too lush, Ankh had to lead Ellanch to walk in the tall grass all the time, only about a thousand meters flat, Anka and Ellanch walked for half an hour because they had to be careful of the sharp ends of the tall grass, and also to be careful of the spores emitted by the thorn balls and the spores emitted by stepping on the thorn balls.

As he stepped onto the wider mountain path that stretched to the top of the mountain, Anka felt a gust of cold wind in front of him, and Anka could only hold on to the mountain wall and shield it with his arms.

"Ahem, does the kid want to buy something?"

Ankh looked at the sound and found that the cliff in front of him had been carved out of many caves, and many people took shelter from the wind and set up stalls to do business.

Ankka and Alan Hi walk into a tea shop to get some rest.

Ankha flipped through the package and said, "Make sure there's nothing wrong with that." ”

Ankha said: "It looks like there's not enough water. ”

After saying that, Anka beckoned to the clerk and said, "Please fill it all up." ”

Ellancy approached the sweaty Ankha and asked, "Does your head hurt again?" ”

Ankh put her hand over her head and said, "It's lighter, ahem, although Kajudil's nagging is gone, it's a real trouble to have a headache all the time." ”

Afterwards, Allanci said in a complaining tone, "If it weren't for Kajudir, you wouldn't be in such pain. ”

Ankh replied after a moment of contemplation, "Then we probably won't meet." ”

After that, Alanxi looked away at the scenery outside and began to think mentally about how to free Ankka from her pain.

After a while, the clerk came back with a couple of kettles and put them in front of Ankka and said, "A silver coin." ”

Ankha exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive? ”

The clerk replied, "You don't look at any of the shops here that sell water, so you pour the water back down the mountain because it's too expensive." ”

As Ankka confronted the clerk, Elancy noticed that a thief had pulled out all the money from the package, and then Ellanch screamed and threw himself forward and grabbed his legs, leaving several bloody streaks on his legs, and the thief ran away from Elancy.

Ankka, on the other hand, also sent the clerk away, grabbed the package, and chased it out with Elanci.

Ankh said, "Really, why would someone steal under the noses of so many people. ”

Halfway up the mountain, Ankka and Elanshi hid in a cave to take shelter from the wind, and Ankh gasped and checked his backpack and said, "Oh no, there's only a few copper plates left." ”

Ellanch stepped forward and said, "Sorry, I didn't look at the package. ”

Ankka put his hand on her head and comforted: "It's not your fault, after all, I didn't expect someone to steal in front of so many people in broad daylight, it seems that the atmosphere above is not very good, so you should be careful when you go up." ”

Alanshi suddenly asked worriedly, "By the way, is the money we have enough to rent out the griffins now?" Why don't you let me pass you! ”

Ankh said, "No, your current size can't withstand a more violent storm, let alone take me with you." ”

After that, Anka stroked Elanshi's head and comforted: "Don't worry, after all, I am also a gold medal adventurer, and it should be very quick to earn money for rental griffins." ”

After that, the two of them took advantage of the wind to subside and ran briskly up the mountain, and after passing through the crowd, they finally saw the town on the top of the mountain.

The town is actually more like a town down the hill, with a wall made of white stones around the edge of the hilltop.

Most of the pedestrians were tourists who came to rent griffins, and Anka and Ellanch made their way through the crowd to the guest house where griffons were rented.

Ankha walked to the front desk and took out a map to point to the city marked on it with huge labyrinth-type buildings and asked, "How much does it cost to get here?" ”

The front desk looked up and saw Ankka and the dragon beside him, saying, "It will take about 50 copper coins." ”

Ankh touched his pocket and walked to Ellanch in embarrassment and asked, "Do you still have it there?" ”

Allancy shook her head in response.

Ankh then bowed his head and left the guest house with Elanhi, and just outside the guest house Ankka noticed the patrolling soldiers.

Ankha ran up to him and said, "Mr. Soldier, I'm going to file a report." ”

The soldier was startled at first and then asked, "What case?" ”

"There's a guy who stole my money and came here."

The soldier asked, "Well, how much money did you lose?" ”

Ankka was about to answer when she was stopped by Elanch and whispered, "You have to be careful, the other party is likely to blackmail us because the denomination is too large." ”

Ankh rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm sorry, I think it's about ten silver coins, as long as you catch that person, you'll definitely be able to find it!" ”

The soldier's eyes glowed greedily when he heard this denomination, and then he said, "Then, I hope you can rest for a few days, and we will definitely inform you when we find it, do you have any obvious marks on his body?" ”

Anka thought for a moment and responded, "One of his legs was scratched by my dragon and there was a bloody mark. ”

Ankka and Elanshi were then taken to a hotel close to the guest house and said, "I hope you can stay here for the time being, rest assured that this is for those who report crimes, and you can stay here for free until the case is closed." ”

With that, the soldier left, while Ankka and Ellanch went to the prepared room, a well-lit room on the third floor, and although there was a rancid smell when it was first opened, it was not a big problem after a simple ventilation.

Ankka shouted to Ellanci, "Shall I go and see if there is a place where I can make money?" Take a break! ”

(in the barracks)

The soldier had gone straight back to his tent after the patrol, and then the soldier shouted to one of his companions, "There's a big fish!" ”

The companion asked, "What big fish?" ”

"Hehe, it's a kid who loses a lot of money, and when the time comes, we will only give him half of the money after we catch someone, and the remaining half is enough for us to live happily for a long time."

"Really!"

The soldier excitedly caught a glimpse of his companion's bandaged leg and asked, "What is this?" ”

"I fell on patrol today, it's nothing."

After that, the soldier grabbed the bandage wrapped around the opponent's leg in confusion and found that there were three blood marks on his leg.

The soldier asked vigilantly, "Is that you?" ”

The companion replied with a prayer: "I'm just lost for a moment, please don't report it to the lord!" ”

The soldier angrily grabbed his collar and shouted, "Okay, you want to eat alone, hand over the money." ”

As he spoke, his companion took out a bag and said, "How dare you! It's not too late! ”

When the soldier opened the bag, he was shocked by the amount of gold, silver, and commercial bills inside.

"Gone?"

"It's gone!"

Then the soldier rolled his eyes and said, "So he said that he lost a piece of gold, and I took out one gold from here and sent him away, and then the rest will be yours." ”

The companion pondered for a while, thinking that he still did not suffer a loss in the end, so he agreed.

The soldier quickly got up and grabbed a handful and said, "Be careful not to let others know, I'll go and give him the money to send him away, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
