Chapter 3: The Reckless Stone Head

According to Leo's previous plan, enter the Zangar Swamp from Kur Town, and arrive at the Deep Silent Ridge in five days, and apply to the battle mage organization "Magic Blade" there to participate in the battle mage trial and obtain the "magic weapon".

In fact, Gaswell's Magical Council headquarters also has the qualification to grant "magic weapons", but due to the lack of professionalism, the guidance ability is weak, and the process is long and the quality is poor. So when he was separated from Robert, he made a point of emphasizing that if the situation allowed, Leo would better go to the "Magic Blade" to participate in the trial.

This process should take another week or so, which means that by the end of June, Leo will be able to complete the trial, then change direction and head east. Based on the distance and speed, it is just right to arrive in the town of Björth in the Sestin district in early July to catch up with the school year.

But now to change the original plan and bypass the Zangar swamp, it will take at least seven or eight more days, and even if the trial is completed at that time, it will definitely delay the enrollment. According to the teacher's instructions, the entrance ceremony is a matter that is very important to the graduate school, and if you miss it, you will inevitably be severely punished, and you may even be expelled from the school. And even if the academy is magnanimous and does not pursue it, it will be difficult for them to find the entrance to the academy, and if this continues, the situation will only get worse.

Because in order to resist external invasions, avoid unnecessary disturbances, and prevent students from studying hard and running around, the major academies will be established in very secret places, and they are shrouded in powerful magic arrays. With Leo's current strength, in the absence of special channels, there is basically no possibility for him to find a position on his own, so he can only rush to Bjorn Town in the Sestin District on time and follow the guide sent by the academy to enter the academy.

For a moment, Leo almost wanted to give up on participating in the Battle Mage Trial. Immediately reroute to the town of Bjorr. But then I thought that under normal circumstances, once you enter the academy, except for extremely special things, you are not allowed to leave without permission even during the Chinese New Year. Then he is likely to have to delay for two or three years before he has the opportunity to obtain the "magic arm", and he can't bear such a loss.

After a brief hesitation, Leo thought of a strange place. Deciding to ask more carefully, he said to Dorakir: "I don't quite understand, since it is an adult blue dragon, is there no strong person to deal with the capture?"

Dragons are creatures that are good all over their bodies, dragon scales can be made into armor, dragon skins can be made into leather armor, dragon teeth can be made into weapons, and whole dragons. It can also be made into precious blood essence.

If it is the brass dragon, bronze dragon, red bronze dragon, gold dragon and silver dragon of the good camp, these five metal dragons, most of the strong people of the human race will have some concerns when they catch them. After all, the metal dragon has been in contact with many humans in the good camp since ancient times, and although this contact is not much, it has also provided a lot of help to the exploration of human magic, the development of bloodlines, and the application of original energy, and has taken the liberty of hunting it. It will inevitably attract criticism.

This is very uneconomical for the strong who value their reputation, after all, in the circle of the strong. Once isolated, then whether it is space exploration, dimensional development, or continuing to improve its strength, it will suffer huge losses.

However, the black dragon, the blue dragon, the green dragon, the red dragon and the white dragon, these five-colored dragons of the evil camp, are cruel and tyrannical by nature, and will even feed on humans and other intelligent creatures. For example, the old mage made zuò dragon blood essence is the red dragon of choice, not the brass dragon with similar ability.

Hearing Leo's question, Dorakil sighed helplessly: "Why not, since this dragon just appeared, several Sacred Domains and legendary powerhouses have come to hunt it, but the cunning and sensitivity of this dragon are simply unimaginable." As long as a strong man enters the swamp and finds the door, and it is sure that it cannot win, it will flee without a trace, and when the strong man is gone, it will return and continue to control the goblins and gnolls to dig the water blue stone. ”

After a pause, he continued: "You also know that those strong people have their own things to do, and they are usually very busy, so how can they have time to spend here. After a few months of going back and forth, the strong men also lost patience and left one after another. ”

"How's that dragon's strength, is there a mage rank?" asked Leo again.

Dragons are one of the few races that naturally have a special bloodline and can learn magic, and it has been recorded in history that a small number of curious dragons will transform into other intelligent creatures, such as humans, elves, or gnomes, and then enter their societies to learn about magic, and some have even raised their mage level to legendary.

And Leo's idea is that although the dragon has a strong perception, if he doesn't have a mage level, it is impossible to set up a monitoring magic array, and the swamp area is so large, he may have a chance to mix it up. Anyway, he didn't go hunting, so he had every chance to avoid the other party.

"I don't know much about this, but the Warlock level is said to be close to level 9. I've heard that a while ago, a small elite mercenary group, the Roadside Wildflowers, accepted a mercenary and entered the swamp in an attempt to banish it. As a result, all of them were more than 20 people above level 3 who were driven back by a mouthful of dragon breath. And their leader, a level 7 warrior, is still frozen at the entrance of the main ore vein, as a warning not to enter. ”

"Roadside wildflowers, what kind of taste does this captain have......" Leo muttered, and couldn't help but wonder, "Did you say it was just frozen, the blue dragon didn't eat that warrior?"

"No, the blue dragon doesn't seem to be interested in cannibalism, as long as it doesn't provoke it completely, it won't hurt the killer, and it usually drives the adventurer out of the swamp. Otherwise, the town would have been ruined long ago. Dora Kirl replied, seeing that Leo seemed to have some plans, and hurriedly added, "You can't be ...... I advise you not to go......"

Of course, Leo understood what he meant, he was a level 2 mage, that is, he had no heavy armor protection, and he did not have a strong body. Single-handedly facing an adult blue dragon, even if the other party doesn't want to kill himself, but if he is sprayed by the dragon's breath, or if he is hit by a claw, he will be half crippled if he is lucky not to die, which is indeed no different from what the other party said before about sending him to death.

With a wry smile, Leo decided not to discuss this issue with the other party, but said: "A blue dragon who doesn't like to eat people and doesn't have a hobby of killing, it's a bit strange." ”

"It's weird indeed. Dora Kirl chimed in.

At this time, the food ordered by Leo was brought to him, and he happened to be hungry, and he could see that Dora Kiel really didn't know more, so he nodded slightly, and then beckoned to Fatty, and found a seat to sit down.

I have to admit that the chefs at the Leaves Hotel are good, the steak is fried just right, and the beer also exudes a rich wheat aroma, which feels refreshing and refreshing after drinking, making Leo rarely have a good meal.

It's just that Leo has something on his mind, and Leo is not interested in savoring it, so he finishes it as quickly as possible, and plans to go to the guest room to think about the next travel plan.

As soon as he stood up, suddenly a loud noise came, and it turned out to be the wooden door of the hotel that was slammed open and shattered to the ground.

The sudden loud noise startled Dora Kiel, who thought that someone was making trouble, but he was not too worried. Who in the town of Chur does not know that the captain of the garrison has a very good relationship with him, and often goes to the big cities near him to have fun. Even those veteran ruffians and old adventurers don't dare to mess around here.

He was just about to open his mouth to scold, but a rough and hoarse voice sounded first, shaking the entire hotel as if it were shaking.

"I heard that there is a mage here who is going into the swamp?

With the sound, a humanoid creature only about one meter and twenty in height entered the hotel. He had a long orange-red beard, a well-groomed hair that hung down like a braid to his chest, a heavy black armor, a short sword hanging from his waist, and a huge tower shield on his back, which seemed to have excellent defense.

"Dwarven warrior, he wants to enter the swamp too?" Leo looked over, but cautiously did not answer.

Dorakil recognized the man and roared in annoyance, "No mage is going into the swamp! Damn! You reckless stone head, you smashed my door!"

The dwarf looked at the broken pieces of wood all over the ground, and his expression was a little embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal: "I obviously heard that someone said that a mage is going to enter the swamp, how can you say that it is not?"

"If you don't say it, there will be no one, this door has only been installed for a month, and the best wind willow wood is good. Dorakir was quite distressed, and then talked and said, "Five gold coins, give them to me quickly, otherwise we will go to the garrison!"

"I'm sorry! Of course I'll make amends!" the dwarf knew he was wrong, and took five gold coins out of his bosom and reluctantly threw them to Dorakir.

Seeing that the other party had lost money so happily, Leo's first impression of the dwarf was very good, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "This ...... Mr. Dwarf, I'm the mage who plans to enter the swamp, may I ask you?"

As for why the other party knew that he was going to enter the swamp so quickly, Leo didn't want to dig deeper, the grapevine always runs faster than people, and this situation is the same everywhere.

Hearing Leo's voice, the dwarven warrior immediately turned his head, and when he found that Leo was so young, he immediately showed a disappointed expression.

But when he saw the badge on Leo's chest, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he walked over with his short legs, and replied: "My name is Muraton, Brutehammer, a mountain dwarf, a level 5 sword and shield warrior, and the leader of the second squad of the 'Roadside Wildflower' mercenary group......! Stone head. ”

"You mean...... I can call you Stone Head?!" Leo almost laughed.

"The Lord of the Forges is above, this is not a contempt, but my head is as hard as a stone, don't get me wrong!" the dwarf's expression was extremely stern and serious. (To be continued......)
