Due to her upbringing, Onexia has always been sensitive to things like intrigue.

Nefarian, who had made an appointment to keep in touch, suddenly lost contact, and the Dragonthroat Clan suddenly appeared on Noseron's side, and Onexia instinctively suspected that this matter might have something to do with Deathwing.

It's not like Onexia guessed out of thin air.

As early as a few years ago, Nefarian took the initiative to reveal a piece of information.

Deathwing wasn't happy with the progress of his experiments with the colorful dragon, and had apparently lost patience.

At that time, Deathwing ordered Nefarian to abandon the Colorful Dragon project that he had been working on for many years in favor of a new mutant dragon species called the Twilight Dragon.

Of course, Nefarian, who was obsessed with research, was very dissatisfied with this, and his disobedience to yin attracted the wrath of Deathwing, and the Black Dragon faction that betrayed the Temple of Dragon Sleep was seriously divided within it.

It was then that Sarjan began to strengthen his bond with Nefarian, and the Black Dragon Prince was no longer going to put his eggs in one basket and take all the risks, and he began to find a way out for himself.

Onexia is well aware of his mad father's temper, and even if Nefarian is behind his back, he will not give up his investment in the Twilight Dragon project, but will increase his efforts even further.

In other words, after several years of secret research and development, the Twilight Dragon project should already be able to see some signs.

At this time, the Dragonthroat Clan broke the previous principle of seclusion and returned to the sun, which could not be associated with Onexia.

As an immortal with severe procrastination, the dragon's efficiency can be imagined.

Onexia expects that it will be at least half a month before the reinforcements from the Temple of Dragon's Sleep arrive in Notheron, but it is better than nothing...... Maybe I'll be able to pick up the mess when the time comes.

The always vigorous and resolute Sarren is not as gentle as the dragons.

After receiving the token from Furstad, he immediately activated the location of the spatial beacon burned on Onexia's lower abdomen, and together with Gianna, he opened the directional portal to the scene.

【Lower abdomen? The location where your space beacon is burned is a bit improper. 】

[There is one thing to say, it's a bit like that pattern. 】

Sarren: "...... Don't ask, it was Oni herself who asked for it. ”

[Hiss ~ The Black Dragon Princess can play.] 】

Gianna glanced down at the space beacon that was still flickering on Onexia's lower abdomen, and looked at Salalian, who seemed to have no change in face, with a very subtle look.

"During my absence, you guys have come up with new tricks?"

"Cough~" Sarian coughed lightly and pulled the topic back from the sidelines: "It's important to get down to business, let's talk about these chores when we go home." ”

"Oni, report the situation, what are the results of the preliminary investigation?"

……

"Wait a minute......"

Listening to Onexia's brief, Salian suddenly frowned and asked, "The ruins of the village you are talking about...... It can't be a Hammer village called Dunward, right? ”

"Hmm......" Onexia looked up and recalled, "It seems that the sign at the entrance of the village does say Dunward, what?" Questions? ”

Sarian rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "It's a big problem, the guide that Furstad asked us to find is a Dunward man, where should we find him now?" ”

Onexia shrugged her shoulders and gave her own advice: "Anyway, there is more than one Hammer dwarven village in Noseron, find another village to ask for directions." ”

"But don't blame me for not reminding you, according to Verles and Julian, the Hammer Dwarves here are very unfriendly to outsiders."

Sallian sighed and said, "I still have to try to make contact after all, I hope that guy named Delwin Stormhammer didn't die in Dunward." ”

……

The ruins of Dunward are located in the most fertile plains of the southern land of Northeron.

Of course, this area has become the front line of the battle between the Hammer Dwarves and the Dragonroar Orcs, and it is not too surprising that it will be destroyed by the Dragonroar Orcs first.

The terrain in the northern part of the Norseron Highlands is more complex and relatively less habitable.

However, even so, the Hammer Dwarves who remained in Notheron have established a number of strongholds here, and not far east of the Vermilion Sanctuary is a small town called Sandmar, which is said to be the most important transit base for the Wildhammer Dwarves in the Norseron region.

Bidding farewell to the Red Dragon Cubs and Hatchlings of the Vermilion Sanctuary, in order to avoid attracting the vigilance of the local Hammer Dwarves, Salian and his party deliberately chose to walk to Sandmar.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw the small town of Sundermar, which was built in the valley, several griffon knights who had been patrolling the sky stopped them.

"Stop! Strangers are not welcome in Sandmaar! ”

Saljan took out the badge given by Furstad from the spatial package and explained loudly, "I am a friend of the Hammer Lord Furstad, and I need your help on important matters!" ”

"Furstad? Dragon raiders? ”

The griffin knights' attitude was noticeably more relenting when they heard the name.

However, judging from their tone, the griffin knights did not respect the status of the Grand Lord of Vorstad, but the warlord known as the Dragon Raider, Vorstad.

Sure enough, the people are strong. ’

For the sake of the dragon raiders, the four of them were finally brought to the town of Sandmar, where they were received by a mayor who looked powerful on the outside.

Yes, the powerful mayor of Kongwu.

Saleien speculated that eighty percent of the town's mayors were elected by force, not by their ability to govern.

"Haha! I didn't expect that Furstad kid to remember us thorns who didn't want to leave our homeland! ”

The mayor, Winters Ironbeard, had a loud voice, and when he learned of the intentions of Salian and the others, he laughed and welcomed the four of them.

"Since he's a friend of the dragon snatcher, we're going to sell him face."

"Tell me, friends of the Alliance, what do you need our help with?"

Winters at least knew that the Hammer Dwarves were also members of the Alliance, and didn't seem to be as xenophobic as the rough miners of his rule.

……

"Dragonroar Orc ......"

Speaking of the group of orc miscellaneous pieces that had only suddenly appeared in the last year or so, Winters's face immediately became ugly, and the green tendons that had been bulging from the clenched fists were clearly visible on his thick arms.

It took several deep breaths before Winters controlled his emotions and looked at Onexia with a sinking face.

"Girl, as you said, the reason why the Dragonthroat Clan was able to catch us off guard is indeed because they don't know where they got the help of a group of purple young dragons."

"By my grandfather's beard, I've never seen a dragon with purple scales in my 200-year-old life."

"Purple scales?"

Sarjan and Onexia looked at each other with frowns, "Mayor Winters, are you sure those dragons have purple appearances?" Isn't it black with a lot of color? ”

Winters shook his head firmly: "No, no, no! I've also participated in the Second Orc War, and I've fought with the Red Dragon Knights of the tribe in the sky, and I can still tell the colors of the dragons. ”

"Tsk!"

Onexia scratched her hair in annoyance, "Twilight Dragon...... Did it really appear? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Winters suddenly clapped his palms and said, "That's what those dragon throat scum call those purple young dragons!" Twilight Dragon! ”

A cold light flashed in Sarren's eyes: "In this way, eighty percent of my mother's disappearance is also related to the Twilight Dragon." ”

"I don't think the Twilight Dragon is a threat to her at this stage, ...... so"

Valeera, who was in charge of intelligence, took over and said: "She should have discovered some important clues, so in order not to startle the snake, she just kept silent and pursued it all the way, but I don't know where she is now." ”

Sarjan sneered and gave a solution: "Since it is basically certain that my mother's disappearance is related to Twilight Dragon, then the best way is to go directly to the person behind Twilight Dragon to ask questions." ”

"I'd like to see who is behind the scenes of the battle in Northeron."

"Oh? You want to deal with the dregs of the dragon's throat? ”

Hearing that Sarren wanted to trouble the Dragonthroat Clan, Winters, who didn't quite keep up with the topic, immediately became interested.

"If that's the case, the Hammer boy can help you guys."

"That's right." Winters suddenly remembered something, and patted his head with his big hand: "Aren't you looking for Delwin?" I can show you the way. ”

"After the village of Dunward was breached, the seriously injured Delvin and his griffin were sent to the village of Cushaven to recuperate, and if you count the time, it should be almost better."

"Kushaven?" Sarjan frowned and asked, "Mayor Winters, where is this Cushaven Village?" ”

Winters raised his hand and pointed to the northeast: "It's on the high ground east of Sandmar Town, which can be regarded as a large rear, and it is relatively safe. ”
