Gordon didn't notice anything unusual, dead trees were not uncommon in the forest, so after collecting the silver light on the harpy's body, he didn't stop long and rushed back.

As it expected, the maiden did not leave.

Instead, she was cleaning up the battlefield, and she was carefully placing the charred corpse of a charred flashdog in a pit under a tree, with a few leaves and a few vines in the pit, and she prayed quietly under the tree.

There was also new soil under the trees next to it, and it was obvious where the remaining flashing dog carcasses had been placed.

The Yaling girl, who was doing a natural sacrifice, found the black dragon who had gone and returned, and her face showed an unnatural behavior.

After all, in her opinion, it is very rude to touch someone else's loot without permission.

But the creature of the flash dog, before it was corrupted, had a good relationship with Yaling.

Corruption is not what they want, and the only blame can be those "waste giants", if it weren't for them, the flashdog wouldn't be like this, confused by the killing.

So she made a standard Yaling etiquette with a little apology, using the terminology described in the book to call the black dragon.

"Great True Dragon Lord, I'm sorry to have tampered with your loot, but I can't see the corpses of the originally good creatures in the wilderness, once our best friends, and with their ancestors when I was a child. ”

As she spoke, Peria's expression revealed a hint of affection.

It was the story of when she was a fifty-year-old child, and in those years she thought about going to the forest, playing hide-and-seek with the tree spirits, listening to stories told by the half-goats, playing with the mischievous Pickers, and running with the flashing dogs, and often secretly using the "fairy step" to achieve victory.

"It's okay......! Are you a Yaling?"

Gordon naturally wanted to ask her something about the city of Yaling, so he didn't care about her little "offense".

After all, the most valuable talent light group has already been pocketed by it, and if someone helps clean up the post-war garbage, it won't blame it before it's too late.

"Yes, Lord Black Dragon! I'm a Yaling from Wimstein. ”

In front of the life-saving dragon, Peria does not hide lies.

This is also the nature of the summer personality, never lie in front of recognized people, and do not know how to beat around the bush, very straightforward.

And Gordon heard that she was from Wimstein? Although there are already some conjectures in my heart? But I still can't help but sigh, it's too much of a coincidence.

But? And if it knew? This fairy forest called the "Forest of Eternal Twilight", all the Yaling? Unless it's a wild goblin, it's all from Wimstein City? The wine city of the Evergreen Forest? It doesn't feel like a coincidence, it's a necessity.

Gordon's questions were voiced in time.

"Wimstein?"

It also wanted to reaffirm.

"Yes, that's right, Lord Black Dragon? I'm from Wemstein indeed? He is a second-year student at Master Ao Yong's Academy. ”

Seeing that the black dragon seemed to know something about Wimstein, Peria hurriedly reported herself to her home, in a vain attempt to get closer.

"Since you're from Wimstein, do you know where the Silvermoon River is?"

When Gordon heard that she was from Wimstein, he asked directly about the relationship between the river in the Mithril Ore Vein.

"Silvermoon River?"

Peria hears Gordon's question? A hint of doubt appeared on her fair face, as if the term had never been in her mind.

"Right? The Silver Moon River is a river that is clean enough to make wine directly from the river's water. ”

What are the traits depicted on the Codex of the Gordon Traveling Mage? Picked some and told the girl in front of me.

“......”

"I'm sorry, Lord Black Dragon? It's been a long time since we, in the city of Wimstein, have used river water to make wine? All with a god-given fountain from the earth. ”

"And? The rivers near the city of Wimstein are not called the Silver Moon River, only the Golden Lake and the Onyx River, and the Unicorn River, and the others are small streams. ”

"So, my lord, are you...... Misremembered?"

Peria asked cautiously, and the black dragon opposite her was also lost in thought.

Even the only clue was cut off, but Gordon didn't give up.

Over the course of a few hundred years, it was quite possible that the river would dry up and turn into a plain or a jungle due to changes in the landscape, so it asked the girl again.

However, in this regard, this Yaling girl with long pale blonde hair could only say slightly euphemistically.

"My lord, I'm just a Yaling who has just turned a century, and I don't know a lot of things, maybe the adults in the city can tell you the answer. ”

“......”

"Okay. ”

Gordon was helpless, and after communicating to no avail, it pointed to the black rock formed by the cooling of the magma on the ground, and the silhouette of the harpy was in it.

"Then why are they chasing you?"

"Isn't this your territory?"

Gordon is still quite curious about the changes in this forest, and of course, understanding the situation will also help it in its next exploration.

In this regard, Peria could only make a sad look, and told the black dragon who had just saved her about the events of the past few days.

Thirty minutes later, Gordon, who could barely figure out the ins and outs, also bowed his head slightly and looked at this Yaling.

"You're saying that the city of Wimstein is being attacked by an army of monsters led by Quest, the "King of the Waste Giants" from the Shadowy Realms?"

"And your current mission is to go to the Great Goblin Territory closest to the Forest of Eternal Twilight, the Court of the Summer King for help?"

"Yes, Lord Coralton. ”

During the chat, a dragon and an elf also exchanged names, and Gordon knew that the Yaling in front of him was called Peria, and Gordon explored in the Alternate Plane and did not leave his real name, although it was not a demon, and if it was known, it would be forcibly summoned.

But it's always better to be careful.

"And what are you going to do now?" asked Gordon, looking at Peria.

It had already obtained the exact location of Wimstein City from Peria, but it didn't need her to lead the way.

"My lord, I'm going to go back to Wimstein City first, but my mission has failed!"

Peria sighed, a life-and-death crisis had clearly made her understand a lot.

The death of her companion also made her understand that this kind of thing is not child's play, and she will definitely not be able to finish the next road alone, so she can only go back to the city first.

"Didn't you say that the city of Wimstein has been besieged?"

"There are secret passages! The rabbits in the forest have three exits, not to mention Yaling, we came out of the water of the Golden Lake, along the Agate River. ”

Peria replied with some sadness.

"Oh......"

"What about you, Lord Coralton!"

Peria seemed to think of something, and asked with a little hope.

"I'm ......"

Gordon hesitated.

"When I go back to the city, my mother will repay ......"

"However, it's not a question of money or not. ”

Gordon seemed even more hesitant, gold coins were really useless to it, although it could buy a lot of things, but it was not attractive, after all, it didn't expect a girl to be saved casually how to repay itself.

"But my mother was a jeweler and had a lot of gem ......"

Pelia whispered, and before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a heavy sigh.

"Alas, although I am not a bronze dragon, it is also my nature to protect the weak! I agree! I will go back to Wimstein with you!"

Gordon sighed again, and made a look more righteous than the bronze dragon, and said with its head held high.

Anyway, it could also take this opportunity to go to the city of Wimstein and look up records about the Silvermoon River, and those old Yaling must have heard of this name.

No matter how bad it is, it's okay to ask the longest-lived dryad in the forest.

"Really?"

Peria was overjoyed.

"Yes, the promise of the true dragon never says a second time!"

The righteous black dragon said.

So, a dragon and a person, in the leafy forest clearing.

With that, they set out on their way home, towards the disputed lands of the Twilight Forest.

Along the way, Gordon also began to summarize, organize, and absorb the talents he had previously killed.

The first is the Flash Dog's talent fragments, there are two in total, [Source of Corruption]*3, [Flash]*4 (this chapter says)

Then there are the two third-order talents of the Harpy.

[Throat of Charm] and [Screaming Sound]*2 (Described in this chapter)

First the repetitive decomposition, and then the exclusion of the [Source of Corruption], it does not want to become that ugly, and the increase in strength is limited.

[Flash], [Throat of Enchantment] and [Scream] are absorbed by it one by one.

The bloodline and talent that had been calm in the body for a long time once again burst out with a strange charm, a sense of mastery in the dark, which gave Gordon a unique understanding of space, but its body was too large to be as flexible as a flash dog.

However, the talent of being a completely prostitute is enough, and Gordon does not mind.

What's more, it can continue to be upgraded.

As for the [Throat of Enchantment] and [Screaming Sound], they need targets, and Yaling is clearly not a good choice.

Therefore, Gordon can only resist the urge to become a death singer and continue to adjust his talent.

For example, use the dismantled talent fragments to add points to third-order talents and the like.

And just as Gordon was cautiously approaching the city of Wimstein with the maiden of Yaling.

Hockman, the corrupt dryad who had narrowly escaped from the lava, had been dragging its body.

It was struggling to emerge from the green borders of the Twilight Forest to the semi-corrupted forest, where the leaves above were still there, but the ground had withered to the extreme, the trunks of the trees were the same as it, and the soil on the ground was not a trace of greenery, but yellowed dead grass and swamps full of black silt.

And here are not only the same corrupt dryads as it, but also many servants of the Waste Giant, cyclops, and those creatures who have also been corrupted by the source of corruption, and even unicorns, but the silver-white fur has turned into night black, and under the glorious skin, there are raised sarcoma-like pimples.

They are intensively planning to launch the next round of attacks on the city that is surrounded by them on the shore of the Golden Lake not far away.

Hockman's return didn't alarm any monster either, and the purpose of its return this time was.

The main thing is to tell the fire-breathing black dragon to the deservedly deserved king of the waste giant, Quest, who has infinite power.

However, when it saw the king of the ruinous giants, Quest, who was more than eight meters tall, and the corrupted Yaling sage standing beside it, it was a little afraid to speak.

Quest, on the other hand, waved his hand impatiently, frowning slightly as he looked at the trembling corrupted dryads below.

"Say!"

Hockman, on the other hand, stammered and told the truth about what he saw with his own eyes.

"A fire-breathing black dragon?"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken about the color?"

Quest urn sounded the urn airway.

"Yes, master! It is indeed a black dragon, and it is the one who saved the escaped Yaling from the hands of my men!"

Seeing that the corrupted dryad was so sure, Quest was also a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Insk, the Yaling Ranger who was corrupted by it under him.

"Have you ever heard of a fire-breathing black dragon? ”

"No, master, it's probably just a drake. ”

"Moreover, even if it is a real dragon, according to its size, it is only a black dragon at the level of a teenager, and it can't control the situation of the battle!"

Insk said.

"I know, but I'm worried that it's not a dragon!"

Although the Waste Giant is a type of giant, its intelligence is still superior among the Waste Giants, and it obviously looks farther.

After all, at a critical juncture, there is no room for variables, and it comes from the dark region, not to taste the taste of failure.

"But there is nothing unusual about the outer defense line and the sentry posts, if there are really dragons flying in, there will definitely be movement. ”

"Those proud creatures can't wait to announce their arrival to the world. ”

Insk couldn't help but touch the wound on his back that had been scratched by a wyvern when he was hunting.

"I hope so!"

Quest could only nod, and then, with its resourceful Insk, began to plan how to break down the lakeside city as quickly as possible.

Quick fixes are what they're looking for.

As for Hockelmann, the corrupt dryad who came to communicate, he was forgotten there.

It's like a tree that was rooted there, sluggish and motionless.

......

On the other side, Gordon and Peria, also detoured the road, moving cautiously, and neither of them had much to say to each other halfway.

However, on the way to the city of Wimstein, there was movement in the already slightly gray bushes.

Gordon could be seen moving far away, which naturally made Peria stop and wait for it to observe.

But when Gordon noticed that it was a small group of gnomes cruising in his field of vision, he was relieved.

And Peria also saw the short blood-colored figure, and couldn't help but exclaim quietly.

"It's the Blood Gnomes!Quest's minions!Be careful, Lord Colaten, if you can't kill them, their shrill sirens will attract a horde of monsters. ”

"They're scouts and spies at their best!"

"So, Lord Coraton, let's not wait ......"

Before Peria could finish speaking, she saw the black dragon beside her quietly stride, hunched over, folded its wings, and leaned towards the bloody dwarf in the distance.

What surprised Peria even more was that no matter how much the black dragon in front of her stepped on the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, it couldn't make the slightest sound.

When Peria saw that the black dragon flashed directly into the team of less than ten blood gnomes at a certain distance, three or four of them were killed.

She looked at the silent battle and couldn't say a word.
