www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!
The setting sun dyed the horizon an intoxicating red, and it was almost dusk.
Players who have been playing for a day also begin to return from the dungeon and the underground forest, using the teleportation array to return to the Chosen City, or participate in the regular bonfire party every night in the city, or directly log off to rest and recover their physical strength. ……
Of course, there are also Gan Emperors who still choose to continue doing tasks, killing wild monsters, and working hard to advance to a higher level and gain more contributions.
The Black Dragon Castle, as the connection point for the teleportation circle between Rivendell and the Chosen City, is naturally quite lively.
Of course, most players teleported from Rivendell to the Black Dragon Castle in a hurry, and then teleported directly to the Chosen City in the castle hall. They were only active in the hall, and the outside of the castle seemed a bit deserted.
In the evening, as usual, the black dragon Myriel gave a long cry, spread his wings and flew to no one knows where.
In Xiao Xianmiao's words, this is the little black dragon's usual walk before dinner.
Influenced by the players, the black dragon Meirel is now accustomed to eating three meals a day, and every day, players who have accepted the barbecue task will come to grill it.
Among them, Xiaoxianmiao and two skewers from Northeast China have taken on the most tasks.
Xiao Xianmiao prepared the Warcraft meat in advance and was responsible for lighting the fire, while the two Northeastern buddies were mainly responsible for the barbecue... In half an hour at most, they could grill the barbecue that Meirel needed.
Then, the three of them exchanged the barbecue for a decent amount of experience points and contributions, and by the way, they picked out a few dragon scales while the little black dragon was eating, enjoying themselves.
Today, the three people took over the task again and had a barbecue in front of the bonfire outside the castle.
In fact, in the early days, they all had barbecues in the castle, but the little black dragon disliked the fumes and made the castle smoky, and finally drove the players outside.
Two Northeastern buddies chatted and barbecued, while Xiao Xianmiao used his fire magic to control the heat from time to time. At the same time, he was distracted by surfing the Internet and watching variety show videos in the game system, and occasionally issued a string of silver bell-like sounds. laughter.
The mountain breeze blows in at night, causing the bonfire to sway slightly, and the white smoke from the barbecue scatters, bringing with it an alluring aroma...
It's very comfortable.
However, suddenly, Xiao Xianmiao's expression changed. She put away her smile, closed the video, and stood up from where she stood vigilantly.
"What's wrong? Meow?"
Seeing Xiao Xianmiao’s face, the two Northeastern buddies asked in confusion.
Xiao Xianmiao looked around like a wary rabbit and said:
"The early warning magic I deployed nearby was triggered, there may be a Warcraft."
The Black Dragon Castle is located on a mountain on the edge of the Dark Mountains. When the little black dragon is usually there, other monsters dare not approach it.
However, when the little black dragon leaves, occasionally some monsters will boldly come nearby, following the smell of barbecue.
Although the level is not very high, it is enough to pose a threat to players...
Therefore, every time Xiao Xianmiao comes to grill the black dragon, he is used to setting up a series of early warning magic nearby in advance.
After listening to Xiao Xianmiao’s words, the two Northeastern buddies also became wary.
They put down the skewers in their hands and drew their swords...
A breeze blew slowly by, slightly messing up the hair of the three people. However, except for the sound of wind, the chirping of insects, and the occasional shouts from players in the castle, they found nothing.
After a while, Xiao Xianmiao put down the staff and sighed regretfully:
"Probably gone."
The two Northeastern buddies looked at each other, then sat down again and continued the barbecue.
Everything returned to calm.
However, in the darkness where Xiao Xianmiao and the others could not see, a nimble figure breathed a sigh of relief, and then rolled and climbed quietly down the mountain...
At the foot of the Black Dragon Castle, in a dense forest a few kilometers away from the Cave Tribe ruins.
A group of human mercenaries wearing leather armor were sitting on the ground, eating dry food, chatting and resting.
Beside them, there were carriages parked full of goods.
This is a human mercenary group.
Mercenary groups are very common in human society on the continent of Sagas. They sell their armed forces and are employed by nobles and chambers of commerce. They either join wars, fight against powerful monsters, or simply **** caravans. , thereby earning a commission.
In addition, when there is no big business, the mercenary group will also serve as a caravan. While traveling long distances, they will also organize the reselling of some goods...
This is the case with the Crocodile Mercenary Group.
They are a medium-sized mercenary group registered in the Holy Mania Empire, with a total of more than 1,100 people. They have recently completed a mercenary mission in the southern Kingdom of Aires and earned a large amount of commissions. On its way back north.
The carriages in the team were some of the goods they purchased in the Kingdom of Iris, which they planned to sell after returning home to earn some extra money for smuggling.
The center of the mercenary camp.
A human warrior wearing light mithril armor and a beard was sitting on a stone.
He held a map in his hand and was looking at it carefully.
He is the leader of the Crocodile Mercenary Group. He is a magic swordsman who has reached the middle level of silver and is good at both magic and martial arts. He is also known as "Crocodile".
As a mid-level professional whose strength has reached Silver, he is somewhat famous in the southwestern border of the empire. He has single-handedly raised a mercenary team of over a thousand people, and is highly regarded. Received the courtesy of the border nobles.
Even the famous border officer from the southwestern state of the Holy Mania Empire has received him and talked and laughed with him.
The crocodile looked at the map in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Beside him, there was a short, fat middle-aged man who looked about forty or fifty years old, dressed as a butler, but looking extremely embarrassed.
If the black dragon Myriel were here, he would recognize that this is the leader of the human border retainers who was "employed" by it before, that timid and cowardly steward.
It’s just that at this moment, the butler’s expression is not pretty:
"Lord Crocodile, I have told you everything I know, why don't you let us go?"
After hearing this, the crocodile just shook his head slightly:
Exchange good books and follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and get cash red envelopes!
"Mr. Anders, what are you anxious about? It's been a hard journey, and there are many monsters. Our mercenary group happened to be on your way, so you should be grateful for our escort."
After speaking, he smiled again:
"If it weren't for us, you and your subordinates might have been caught by the monsters, not to mention that we haven't collected the commission for escorting you."
After hearing what the crocodile said, the butler’s face became even uglier:
"Escort? Ahead is the border of the empire. I am the steward of the Border Count. What kind of **** do I need?! Aren't you worried about arousing the Earl's wrath by detaining me like this?"
The crocodile just shook its head slightly:
"You can't say that. The black dragon is evil and cunning. What if he attacks you again when you return?"
After hearing what the crocodile said, Anders' face darkened, but soon, he said angrily:
"Lord Crocodile, I know what you are planning. A black dragon that has settled near the border, even if it is underage, must have accumulated a lot of wealth. Not to mention you, even the Earl may be tempted."
"I know you are worried about letting me go back. The Earl will send a team to attack the black dragon, so you will have no chance..."
"But... this is a giant dragon! Even if it is underage, it still has the strength of Silver. Although your mercenary group has a thousand people, its strength is no match for it!"
"Besides, that black dragon is very cunning and did not lead us to its lair at all. It will be difficult for you to find it if you search aimlessly..."
After the butler finished speaking, the crocodile just shook his head:
"You don't have to worry about this. Our mercenary group is short of nothing but scouts. And this black dragon has been hovering in the sky a lot recently. If you really want to find its lair, you can do it with some effort. It’s not difficult. As for how to deal with the black dragon, you don’t have to worry about it.”
While the two were talking, a happy and excited voice suddenly came over:
"My lord, the captain! My lord, the captain!"
The crocodile frowned and raised his head to look at the source of the sound.
I saw an agile figure rushing out, a human scout carrying a bow, arrow and scimitar.
He avoided the mercenaries resting on both sides and came straight to the crocodile. While wiping the sweat from his head, he said excitedly:
"Master of team battle! I found the black dragon's lair!"
"Huh? Did you finally find out?"
The crocodile's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of joy in his expression.
He made a gesture to his men, and two mercenaries immediately came forward and took the frustrated Border Butler down.
Then he looked at the scout again:
"Where exactly?"
"It's in a castle on the mountain ahead!"
The crocodile listened and nodded secretly:
"Very good!"
After finishing speaking, he asked with some expectancy:
"Did you see the elf?"
"See it!"
The scout said.
After speaking, his expression was a little strange:
"Those elves... set up a bonfire outside the castle and were grilling meat."
"Barbecue...barbecue?!"
The crocodile was stunned.
Then he thought thoughtfully:
"It was probably forced by the dragon. It seems that he is a black dragon who knows how to enjoy himself... Do you have any other information?"
The scout thought for a while and continued to answer:
"Those elves were very vigilant and even deployed warning magic around them. I almost got caught."
The crocodile is not that surprising:
"After all, it is an elf, a born magical creature. What about the others? Does that black dragon have any relatives?"
"There seems to be no more elves, only some elves, but... there seem to be many elves in the castle. I can vaguely hear their voices. Through the light, it feels like there are dozens of them."
The scout replied.
“So many elves?!
The crocodile’s eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
"Anders! He even saved a hand! Huh! Dozens of elves, no wonder he is so anxious! This is no less than the wealth that a young black dragon deserves!"
After pondering for a moment, the crocodile said:
"Continue to observe and take a look at the black dragon's activity patterns, and then we will take action!"
"But..."
The scout hesitated for a moment and said:
"The aura of that black dragon is terrifying...it must be Baiyin. Can we...beat it?"
The crocodile's face darkened:
"Idiot! When did I say I was going to slay the dragon? I mean, observe the black dragon's activity patterns, and let's sneak into the castle while it's gone to see if we can touch some treasures and kidnap some elves by the way! ”
"Not to mention anything else, as long as we can get a few female elves, we will make a lot of money on this trip! As for the black dragon... let Border Boss have the headache!"
"Wait until we infiltrate successfully and make a fortune before letting Anders and the others leave!"
