When Du Wei returned to Loulan City, it was already night. Longbottom and twenty-eight magic cadets remained in the barracks outside the city. Du Wei went straight back to the Duke's Palace.

In a courtyard behind the castle of the Duke's Palace, Du Wei met the seriously wounded Hussein.

The paladin's injuries were no longer a major problem. The shoulder blades of the most seriously injured shoulder have gradually healed under the action of the Holy Order Dou Qi, but Hussein's face is very sallow, although the injury can be treated with Dou Qi or medicine, but the excessive blood loss is not something that can be repaired by any direct means.

Looking at Hussein's appearance, Du Wei had a solemn expression and said to Lao Yan: "Stay outside, no one is allowed to come in." ”

After speaking, Du Wei walked to Hussein's bedside, sat down, and said with a wry smile: "You really brought me bad news." ”

"Bad news indeed. Hussein's expression was cold.

"Now, tell me, what the hell is going on. ”

Hussein sighed softly, he didn't answer directly, but turned out the cloth bag from his side, and after slowly untying it, he revealed the "beauty under the moon" inside.

When Du Wei looked at it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Rodriguez's sword, why is it here for you? Could it be that you went to the frozen forest and met that guy?"

Hussein nodded: "If it weren't for this guy, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back alive!"

Hussein then began to recount his experience.

A month earlier, Hussein had been entrusted by Du Wei to go to the Frozen Forest. With his great strength, he is naturally not afraid of the treacherous environment of the frozen forest. Just all the way north. Crossed the Great Round Lake and headed for the valley where the Treants lived.

But on the way around the Great Round Lake, Hussein found some unusual traces.

"At the beginning. I saw the corpse of a monster. It was an Ice Demon Wolf, and judging from its size, it should already be at the critical point of evolution. The wolf was nailed to a tree by an ice pick, and his body was frozen. I was surprised that the place had already crossed the Great Round Lake, and even those brave mercenary groups did not dare to go to the north of the Great Round Lake. Then, the next day, I saw the corpses of several demonic beasts, which were several earth dragons. You know, the Earth Dragon Earth Scale Armor is extremely strong, and the things I saw, each Earth Dragon was easily cut into several pieces, obviously it was the fighting spirit of a high-level warrior to reach that realm, I took a closer look at the wounds and cut marks, and then made a judgment: This guy is a strong man. I'm afraid that even if I do it myself, I can only do it to the same extent at most.

On the third day, I saw something more interesting: I was walking north along the shores of the Great Round Lake. I noticed an iceberg in the lake. Apparently someone had come out of it, and the transparent Xiaoice mountain was floating on the surface of the lake, and in the iceberg, a storm ice bear was frozen in the ice. It seems that this person who shot is very good at the ice system. That's the conclusion I made.

"Rodriguez?" asked Dewey.

"Yes. Hussein nodded.

"How did that guy end up in the frozen forest?" said Du Wei frowned.

Hussein hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "He went to find me." ”

When Rì Rodriguez was in the middle of the dìdū coup d'état, after helping the eldest prince to make a move. And he drifted away. But the Paladin's strength is finally known to everyone. Originally, it was recognized that the first knight of the Earth Continent was Hussein, a traitor to the Holy Knights of the Temple. But when Rì Rodriguez showed his strength as a paladin, he slew the Grey Sword Master under Augustine VI in one fell swoop. In the hearts of those who came after, Rodriguez had already replaced Hussein's position as the "first knight of the continent".

Prior to this, although Hussein was already wanted by the temple, his "record" of killing two Grand Knight Captains, killing the Chief Inquisitor, and killing many of the Holy Knight who pursued him made him still firmly occupy the position of the first Knight on the mainland. And after Rodriguez rose like a shooting star, Hussein's position gradually wavered.

After all, Hussein's record was brilliant, and it was easy to speculate that he might have broken through the Holy Rank as well—but that was just speculation. And Rodriguez is a real holy order.

In this way, Rodriguez is almost already at the peak of the martial artists of the Roland Continent. This paladin, who has always been low-key, appeared in the Frozen Forest to find Hussein!

Cultivating to his realm, what he needs is to be able to find an opponent with the same strength as himself, ordinary people can no longer satisfy his pursuit of honing martial arts, and at this time, the only one who can still enter the eyes of Rodriguez is only the wanted Hussein!

According to the information in the temple, Hussein was last seen in the frozen forest.

No one knows that Hussein later followed Du Wei out of the Frozen Forest. The last news of his whereabouts was that he had disappeared into the frozen forest.

Rodriguez, on the other hand, set his goal on Hussein.

"You met?" said Du Wei in a grim tone.

"Encountered. Hussein nodded.

"The result?"

Hussein seemed to be silent for a while, his expression was a little incomprehensible to Du Wei, and then suddenly, this cold paladin actually smiled: "You want to ask, who won?"

Du Wei did not deny it: "Of course I want to know. You are now the two strongest martial artists on the continent. ”

"Okay. Hussein nodded, and then as if to put it mildly: "I won, but he didn't lose." ”

Du Wei was stunned.

"We played two games. Hussein said lightly: "In the first game, he had the upper hand because he had a sword like a beauty under the moon." And although I am at a disadvantage, he can't crack the starry sky fighting spirit, and we don't have the intention of desperately, so we will stop for the time being. The second time, he gave up the advantage of the beauty under the moon, and I won him. ”

It's as simple as that?

Of course, Du Wei knew that the competition between the two paladins was definitely not as easy as Hussein's words!

The peak duel between the two powerhouses on the continent was definitely a fierce competition, but unfortunately, I was not able to witness it with my own eyes.

"The wound on my shoulder is what he left me. Hussein snorted: "But he won't want to do anything with others for at least a year!"

"Then this beauty under the moon," Du Wei frowned.

Hussein didn't answer the question directly, but seemed to smile and looked at Du Wei: "You know what? You almost died. ”

Du Wei was a little dazed: "What does it have to do with me?"

"After we finished fighting, the two sides stopped fighting, we didn't do a life-and-death duel, in this world, it is a rare thing to have such a good opponent. He asked me where I could be found in the future, and I told him that I might be in the Northwest when he heard this, his expression surprised. Then he told me that he was about to come to the northwest as well. And he told me that he had been entrusted to come to the northwest to help you. ”

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, and then looked surprised: "He came to assist me?"

"I was also surprised by this, he told me that after the coup d'état, the eldest prince died, and Rodriguez hated you very much. Because the eldest prince is kind to him after all. Although he promised the eldest prince to do three things, he has already repaid it. But after all, you played a key role in the coup. Rodriguez didn't come to trouble you, you were already lucky for Dewey, and at that time, I wasn't by your side. If he secretly comes to kill you at that time, with his strength, you will have a few more lives. It's long gone. ”

Du Wei was silent.

Thankfully, though, someone persuaded him. Rodriguez was persuaded by that man. I changed my mind, and I was entrusted by that person to come to the northwest to assist you. He had planned to set off for the northwest after confronting me in the Frozen Forest. Hussein sighed: "As a result, things went a little wrong. The two of us competed, although we didn't fight for our lives, but after all, we were both injured. We weren't too far from the canyon where the Treants were, so I decided to take him with me to recuperate. It was in the canyon that we met the dragons. ”

Du Wei's face sank: "Could it be that the old dragon broke his oath." Came to us to settle old scores?"

Hussein shook his head: "It's not that old dragon, but the guy who came this time is probably not something I can deal with alone." This guy's magic strength is very average, but the strength and toughness of ** can be called the first in the dragon clan. I think you must remember the stupid dragon who guarded the gate of the Dragon Clan when we arrived at the Dragon Clan's Sacred Mountain, right?"

That stupid dragon? the guy who was stumped by himself with a math problem?

"That's the guy who came this time. ”

Hearing this, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out that the stupid dragon clan patriarch is crazy, and sent such a fool out?"

Hussein said coldly: "It's not just a simple idiot, this guy seems to be very bad at magic. But its ** strength Du Wei, in my estimation, I'm afraid it's even the old dragon. That's it. And. I heard that this guy is in the dragon clan, if you simply compare martial arts and physical strength, even the dragon clan patriarch is not as good as this idiot. ”

"And," Hussein's face was ugly, "This guy told me that the dragon patriarch has made a decision, and if whoever takes your head back, he will inherit the position of the patriarch of the land!" Now they have all set out from the Sacred Mountain and come to the Roland Continent to look for you. ”

Du Wei's scalp began to tingle.

Three dragon land princes?

Want. That old dragon is so strong, its son may not be far behind, right?

"Wait, you said this idiot told you this, what was its purpose?"

Hussein's face sank: "This is where I think this is the most dangerous thing about this." It told me that it came to you to protect you from within the dragon clan and was unhappy with the patriarch's decision. Everyone wants to take the position of the patriarch's heir. Moreover, this idiot actually brought some information about the three dragon princes, and it told me that if you can, it is the landlord, I hope that these three dragon princes will not return to the sacred mountain alive!"

Du Wei's eyes lit up!

"According to the agreement, for the sake of fairness, the three dragon princes have decided to come to you separately. Each guy has a one-month time limit, and if one fails, then the second continues. If nothing else, the first person to come to you is the eldest son of the old dragon, a dragon who is good at magic, according to intelligence, it is not good at martial arts, but it is very good at dragon magic. ”

Du Wei's mind flashed: "Oh, since someone wants to cooperate with Huh, then it must also provide some weaknesses of this dragon prince, right?"

Hussein suddenly smiled: "Indeed, it told me about the weakness of this dragon prince?"

At this moment, in the northern part of the frozen world, in the northern part of the frozen forest, in the canyon inhabited by the tree people, a thin and tall figure stood at the mouth of the canyon, looking at the vast sea of snow, facing the south. His deep eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and there was a hint of weakness on his pale face.

"Mr. Lanhai, I hope your choice is the right one. That Dewey, can he really change the Northwest?" Rodriguez muttered softly to himself.
