Section 63. Sudden and short adventure
A horse-drawn carriage drove lonely in the snow and ice.
Wrapped in a cotton coat, holding the reins, and wearing a felt hat, Annan disguised himself as when he came to Betal City, and the food cooked in the carriage behind him was steaming.
Just as Gemma wouldn't have expected himself to appear in Beta, the enemy wouldn't have expected the King of the North to be on the band.
Annan followed the convoy far behind the procession, following the rut marks that the team had made in the snow. In this way, he will not be trapped in the front team when it encounters danger, and he can rescue it in time.
When the food was almost cooked, Annan slowed down the carriage, took out the hot pot, scooped the mist of food into the bowl, and hummed something leisurely while waiting for the food to cool down, when he was suddenly hijacked by a group of mercenaries.
……
After several days of trekking, the convoy of the King of the North made it to Breeze.
The residents who saw the snowflake badge on the carriage ran into the city, and soon the streets were crowded with people, the mountains roared with Jack, and the names of Andy and Freeman were interspersed.
Xingyue Bay is Annan's home, and Breeze City is half of Annan's home.
The convoy went to Winchet Manor to rest for a while, while waiting for Annan to catch up with him at the back of the group. As a result, they did not see Annan's carriage until the evening.
"What about Annan?"
……
The cold wind that blew "whimpering" at night drifted outside the rocks, the firewood "crackled" and burst, and the splashing sparks lit up a few faces.
Annan cowered in the corner and said to the mercenaries who were roasting food in front of the campfire, "Can you spare me......
The warrior in the horned hat glanced at him: "How much ransom are you prepared to pay to buy your life back?" ”
"I don't have anything of value anymore......"
"Then deal with him, we still have to find the location of the dragon's nest."
The leader in bear's skin said, and the horned warrior picked up his battle axe and walked towards Annan.
"Dragon's Lair? Are you looking for a blue dragon? I know where it is! ”
Annan's words made the bull warrior stop, and the bearskin leader frowned and said, "You know? ”
"I'm from Pinglin Town, and I know there's a blue dragon in the haunted gold mine on the outskirts...... I've worked there as a miner, so I'll show you the way! ”
"What's your name?"
"Olme less."
"Tell me everything you know."
Annan casually made up some stories, adding fuel to the fire and saying that the blue dragon was only elite-level.
"Elite? Are you lying to us? ”
"Really! There is a powerful elite warrior in the town, and his presence makes the blue dragon dare not intrude on the town! ”
"A baby dragon, it looks like we're in luck!"
The white-haired mage by the campfire rejoiced. Young dragons can only be killed, but baby dragons can be caught and sold for more money.
From their conversation, Annan learned that it was a dragon hunting squad. These mercenaries got the information of the blue dragon from nowhere, and teamed up with each other to prepare for dragon hunting. Annan said that there were many white dragons in the snowy mountains and forests, and the white-haired mage ridiculed that the lizards were also worthy of being called dragons?
"You lead the way tomorrow."
The words of the bearskin leader mean that they have escaped.
Annan pretended to be relieved and swept past these professionals, one master warrior and four elite professionals, one of whom was a mage. A surprise attack can indeed cause problems for the blue dragon. Fortunately, Annan ran into them.
"Don't look me in the eye."
When Annan looked at the only female warrior in the team, she let out a rough and shy voice: "Otherwise, you can't hide if you like it." ”
I didn't deliberately charm myself...... Annan was quietly vigilant, and if he was attacked by night, he would only be forced to deal with these mercenaries......
As the night wore on, the mercenaries began to rest. Annan didn't get any food, not even a blanket, so he had to huddle over the campfire and keep vigil.
Early the next morning, the bearskin leader found the female warrior listless.
"You didn't rest?"
The stout female warrior looked at Annan covetously: "Someone kept me awake all night. ”
"He's yours after finding the Blue Dragon."
The bearskin leader woke up his companions, prepared food, and set off, this time Annan was given a piece of burnt bread.
When he set off with the dragon hunting team, Annan suddenly thought of mercenaries and dragon slayers...... Is this an adventure?
Passing through a village not far from the town of Hirabayashi, they left behind their horses and wagons and left the road to cross a frozen river.
Walking on the ice, Annan quietly activated the magic ring, and a fire elemental appeared beneath the ice, melting the ice with blazing heat, and the steam and fall suddenly enveloped the horned warrior.
Annan, who was the first to react, stretched out his hand, but only grabbed his horn helmet.
The warriors who fell into the glacier did not know where they were being taken by the river, and the panicked crowd rushed across the glacier.
Five dragon hunters go to one of them.
"It seems that there is one less person to share the spoils." The ranger who doesn't deal with the horned warrior snorted coldly.
The bearskin warrior, whose face was not very good-looking, glanced at him and continued to set off.
Towards noon, the surrounding woods showed signs of felling, and Annan saw the snow-covered low hills.
"There's a haunted gold mine." Annan, who threw away his felt hat and put on a horned helmet, said.
The dragon hunting team lit a fire in the glade to rest, the ranger caught a few snow rabbits, plucked and peeled them and threw them into the pot, the meat was fragrant, but just after eating a few bites, the bearskin leader suddenly fell to the ground, the ranger pulled out the arrow and wanted to solve the mage again, but the bearskin leader who was cheated to death got up and stoned to death, and then shook and fell down again, black blood gushed out of his facial features, and he died completely.
Five dragon hunters go to the third.
Annan looked at the team that was fighting among themselves before he met the blue dragon, and reluctantly picked up the quiver with the steel arrows behind his back, and stripped off the leader's bear skin and draped it over his body.
The remaining white-haired mages and female warriors gave up their rest and passed through the abandoned camp and entered the haunted gold mines.
"The treasure is inside." Annan said to them.
"What could be more precious than you?"
The female warrior looked at Annan affectionately, and the fluorescence of the arcane missile suddenly lit up behind her. The female warrior who was hit erupted in a pink mist of blood, escaped from the mine, and vanished.
Five dragon hunters go to four.
"Hurry up and lead the way, if you find the blue dragon, you can get out......"
The white-haired mage urged Annan, who wore a horned hat, a bearskin coat, a long sword, and a bucket of arrows on his back, to let him hold the relics—all of which were his, after finding the blue dragon.
Annan led the white-haired mage deep into the mine, and after ten minutes, a cave appeared in front of him:
Mountains of gold coins shone brightly, and the blue dragon lay unguarded on the mountain of treasures.
The mage stood at the foot of the mountain of treasures, as if he saw treasure and prestige beckoning to him. He pressed his excitement and cast a spell on the lazy blue dragon—
"Death to the wicked!"
A sudden shout sounded from behind, a piercing chill melted from his chest, and the mage staggered to the ground as he stared at the bloody blade that came out of his chest.
There are no five dragon hunters left.
They are gathered together by the treasure, and they are divided by the treasure.
In the final moments of his life, the mage struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see the blue dragon kill this fool who couldn't tell the situation.
The boy said, "I'm here to save the princess." ”
The blue dragon lying on the mountain of treasure stared down and lowered his eyes:
"Where's your princess?"
"Elimoas, you are my princess."
