Chapter 10: A Hunter

Ember scavenged a total of 360 gold coins from Duke Manor, more than he had saved over the years, and he couldn't fit them in his saddlebag, so he had to find a satchel and tie it to his back.

After this night's events, the red dragon was in a good mood, and even hummed a minor tune all the way to the west.

There is no need to doubt the sight of dragons, all dragons possess the ability to see at night, and the night, which most humans fear, is no different from the day to the dragon.

A few days ago, the red dragons came over like that, day and night, the dragon's physical strength is not covered, and it is no problem to walk for a few months without resting, but relatively speaking, if you really want to walk for a few months, you have to sleep for a month and come back.

So after walking for a few more hours, when the moon began to sink, Ember stopped, found a cool meadow and made a bonfire, and the red dragon lay down and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When Ember opened his eyes, it was already dawn and the bonfire had burned out, this was a simple alarm clock set by the red dragon, and with a little special fuel, it could burn for a few hours, and the red dragon would wake up when the fire was extinguished or dangerous.

A few hours of sleep didn't help the dragon, but at least it would relax the body, and the red dragon felt slightly tired from yesterday's activities.

"Who's coming out!" said Ember suddenly.

After a few seconds, a person turned out from behind a tree, and the red dragon frowned, this mercenary is a little familiar, oh it is one of the several mercenaries who were chased by the fire dragon yesterday and passed by him.

"Giant... Lord Dragon, I have no ill will towards you—" The mercenary said nervously, his voice sounding young.

The red dragon nodded, if there was malicious intent, he would not have opened his mouth to ask, but directly opened his mouth to breathe fire: "Is there something wrong?"

"I... My name is Ike, I've been a dragon admirer since I was a kid, I watched yesterday... See you and the wyvern...", the mercenary said incoherently.

It turned out that Ike didn't run far yesterday, but saw the scene of the exchange between Ember and the fire dragon from a distance, and saw that the red dragon casually obeyed the huge and terrifying flying dragon training, and Ike turned his reverence for the dragon from childhood into worship.

"Oh, thank you for your adoration then. Ember smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go first." With that, the red dragon walked in the direction with his back to the sun.

"No! Wait a minute. Ike hurriedly said, "My lord, you killed Baron Duke, and there may be some trouble in the future." ”

"Trouble?" the red dragon sneered and continued walking.

"The soldiers who escaped ran to Bordeaux, and then the city lord's palace issued a bounty of three hundred gold coins for your capture.

"I'm worth three hundred?" the red dragon shook his head disapprovingly.

"I've heard that George, the gold-tier hunter, is ready to go after you!" Ike said anxiously.

The red dragon turned around: "Then why are you faster than him? You are a platinum-level hunter?"

"I—" Ike was momentarily speechless, "I stayed overnight... No, if George is going to chase him, he should be there..."

"Is that him?" the red dragon asked suddenly.

I saw a tall, heavily armed middle-aged man standing on the road ahead, wearing chain mail, leather gloves on his hands, and thick leather boots suitable for hurrying on his feet. Holding a steel sword, carrying a strong crossbow behind his back, and a string of flying knives hanging from his waist, with his bearded face, the whole person exudes a fierce aura.

"Just... That's him. Ike's face turned white with fright, as if this George was notorious.

"Hello, Red Dragon. George spoke, and to his surprise, his voice was quite gentle, and it didn't match his appearance at all.

"Hello. Ember nodded at him, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"You already know. George smiled: "Take you back to Bordeaux City, and I will get three hundred gold coins." ”

While he was talking, George was already ready to attack, because according to the dragon's temperament, the red dragon's answer was either "see if you have that ability" or "human you are so bold, you offended the great xxx" and then immediately started fighting.

"What if I give you three hundred gold coins?" said the red dragon in a way that surprised everyone.

George: "..."

Ike: "..."

The red dragon picked up the satchel on his back and threw it to the ground, the opening of the satchel was thrown open by inertia, and the gold coins were scattered all over the ground.

"Put your stance, I have no intention of fighting. The red dragon said calmly.

George hesitated for a moment, then lowered his broadsword: "You, are you really a dragon?"

"It's like a fake. Ember shrugged, "I don't have wings for the time being, but I'm sure I'm a red dragon." ”

"Then why did you throw out gold coins, I've never heard of a dragon giving up gold coins!"

"Aren't you seeing it now?" Ember turned his head to look away, his eyes rolling and squinting at George, "I thought about it, I didn't think about killing Baron Duke at the time, but I accidentally killed it, maybe I shouldn't have these gold coins." ”

"Do you want to know why the dragon came to Baron Duke, because he stole the dragon's egg, and I just helped the dragon get it back. ”

"I'm telling the truth. ”

After a long time, George put down his sword: "Red Dragon, I should have never seen you today." After saying that, he rubbed shoulders with the red dragon and walked towards Bordeaux City.

"Now it's Ember's turn to be confused, why did he leave? Just now he kept saying that he wanted three hundred gold coins, and now he suddenly left without permission, are his words so convincing? Or did he turn on the protagonist's aura and exude the king... Ahh

Anyway, it's a good thing, a big trouble has passed like this, and there is no loss, so the red dragon happily picked up the gold coins, three hundred and sixty, one is not less.

Looking back and seeing that Ike was still standing aside, Ember asked suspiciously, "Why are you still here!"

"Ahhh

"Go home, I don't want a human to follow me. The red dragon said impatiently.

Ike opened his mouth to defend something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and reluctantly glanced at the red dragon, then turned around and walked away.

Ember let out a sigh of relief, and from the first time it saw George, a thought crossed its mind: this man couldn't beat him himself.

In the face of his own safety and gold, Ember chose himself, and for a moment he almost wanted to summon Hills to save his life, but in the end, things went for the better, and a big crisis passed inexplicably.

The cause of this incident should be that the road is not very smooth, and I should take a different route.

Leaning back against a tree, Ember opened the map with her front paws, her eyes scanning the routes.

After a long time, the red dragon nodded: "That's it!"
