It just happened that things happened in such a hurry. When Li De was making a deafening declaration in Alterac City, Bacrom Woz arrived.
A scene that the people of Alterac are destined to never forget. As the hero roars, the dragon obeys his call, bringing hope to the people of Alterac.
Even after several generations, this matter can still be talked about by the elderly and passed on to future generations.
"Protector Li De, why are you calling me so urgently? Wasn't it originally scheduled for me to go to Lordaeron for our first informal meeting eight days later?"
In Broken Ridge Castle, Buck Romworth, who transformed into a red-haired man wearing scale armor, asked.
"Things have changed. A strong shadow has enveloped Lordaeron. The power is beyond the reach of mortals, so I suspect it is the black dragon."
Li De didn't show off at all, and Buck Romworth's expression immediately became serious.
"Are you sure you're not joking? If it's really a black dragon, why did you notify me here?"
Li De shook his head.
"I just suspect that that guy may be a black dragon, or maybe something else. In short, he shouldn't appear in the mortal world, and the only helpers I can think of are you."
After hearing this, Buckromworth showed his true expression.
"That's right, you need me to accompany you to investigate the matter clearly, right?"
After receiving Li De's affirmative reply, Buckromworth seemed a little excited. This was the first time he transformed into a human form and walked in the mortal world. Seeing things from a human perspective made him feel very novel.
"I will have to work hard for you in the next period of time, Lord Buckromworth."
"You're welcome. From now on, just call me Buck. This is my human name in the mortal world."
Li De responded with a smile, while not forgetting to wave to the people who were hiding away.
"Everyone, come over here. Let me introduce this friend to you."
Ever since Buck arrived, everyone in the castle has been extremely nervous, including Duke Ravenholdt. Although he boasts that he has seen through the nature of life, he feels that he will never be happy with things in his life from now on.
Sadness.
But in fact, when a giant dragon appeared in front of him and transformed into a human standing next to him, he still had the emotions that a human should have.
"Duke Ravenholdt, I think you have also seen my determination and sincerity. Maybe it won't take long for you to relax.
Next, please tell me and my friends something about the Presto family."
Ravenholdt still looked a little reserved when sitting on the chair, and his eyes would glance at Buck sitting there from time to time. However, Li De's words still made him very happy, maybe this country can really be saved.
…
Early the next morning, Li De, Buck, Pumillo, and Jason, led by Ravenholdt, arrived at a rather deserted mansion in the west of Alterac City.
"This is the residence of the Presto family.
To be honest, I don't believe that the one in Lordaeron is Davar Prestor. Everyone in Alterac knows that he is a sick man.
As early as ten years ago, after the death of old Presto, their family left the center of power in Alterac. Daval has always been in poor health and has a somewhat withdrawn personality.
Apart from hiding at home writing poems, composing music and painting, he seemed not interested in anything and had no friends. If he hadn't occasionally seen their servants and went out to buy things in the market, people might have forgotten about them.
This family."
Ravenholdt was knocking on the door and talking about the family. In fact, the content he said was very much the same as last night.
But Buck's expression was particularly solemn.
When he heard about the Presto family last night, he just regarded it as a boring story.
To be honest, Buck was actually a little skeptical about Li De's statement that the enemy was a black dragon. After all, this statement had no basis and was all Li De's guess.
Especially after learning that the enemy was just a noble lord, Buck really thought that this might be Reed's neurosis.
But after arriving at Prestor's mansion, Buck was sure that he smelled some familiar smell. The smell was very close to that of a dragon, but it made him feel sincerely sick.
After knocking on the door for a while, there was no response from the courtyard. Ravenholdt muttered to himself strangely.
"No one? I saw their servants on the street some time ago? When did they escape?"
Li De walked up and signaled Ravenholdt to step aside. He planned to push the door open directly, but what Li De couldn't understand was that the door couldn't be shaken even with the strength of his heroic warrior!
"Protector, you can't push this door open. Because there is magic on it. On the surface, it seems to be a door, but in fact there is a magic wall behind it."
Buck's words attracted Li De's attention, and he immediately gave up his position to the other party.
Standing in front of the door that could not be pushed open, Buck spit out obscure musical scales, which was a kind of dragon language magic.
As Buck's magic chant ended, there was a soft click from behind the door, as if the door bolt had been pulled up.
Li De pushed the door tentatively, and the two doors on the left and right creaked open, and everyone entered the courtyard.
"hiss……"
After walking into the courtyard, Jason gasped subconsciously.
Alterac has a standard structure of wooden boards mixed with masonry, and the walls of Presto's courtyard are quite tall, so it is difficult to see clearly what's going on inside from outside the courtyard.
The climate and soil here are not suitable for the growth of flowers and plants, but the nobles can import high-quality flower soil from other countries and plant flowers and plants in their yards to show their power and wealth.
The yard of Presto's house is filled with flower soil imported from Nanhai Town, but at the moment, the yard is not filled with neat flowers and plants that have been carefully planted and taken care of.
There are clumps of weeds everywhere. In the cold climate of the place, they can actually grow to the height of half a person. This shows that no one has taken care of the yard for many years!
What was even more horrifying was that among the weeds, everyone could see skeletons and bones scattered among them! As far as they could see, they found no less than four or five bodies! They could not see them deep in the weeds.
I don’t know how many places there are!
"How could this happen?! Where are the Presto family members?! I saw their servant not long ago..."
An incomprehensible sight appeared in front of him, causing Ravenholdt to roar in horror. Judging from the scene in the courtyard, it had been neglected for several years at least, and with the addition of those bones, the Presto family members
It must be all bad and unexpected.
But if this is the case, who are the servants you have seen in the market every week for so many years? Who is the man from Daval Prestor in this city in Lordaeron at this time?
Li De said with a gloomy face at this time.
"The answer is simple. What you have seen before is all an illusion. The person who appears in front of you is not a human being at all!"
"Bang!"
As soon as Li De finished speaking, there was a loud noise behind everyone.
Everyone looked back in shock and saw that the door that had been opened before had been closed again. At the same time, Buck also noticed that the magic that enveloped the deserted house had also been restored.
This incident made everyone nervous, especially Buck Romworth, who knew best among them what was going to happen next.
Then the front door of the Presto family's dilapidated but still luxurious residence was pushed open, and many young people in rich clothes walked out.
"Who are you guys? How dare you trespass on the Presto family's territory?"
The leader was a young master who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a gorgeous robe and spoke to several people in a very domineering manner.
"I am the eldest son of Presto Young. My uncle is not at home. I order you to leave here immediately!"
Ravenholdt was frightened for only a moment, and then he thought that Daval Prestor was the only son in his area, so how could he have a nephew?
Buck took a step forward and sneered.
"At this point, you still think your tricks can deceive us? Stop pretending, I can smell your stink when we are outside the door!"
As he spoke, Buck gathered a ball of life flame between his hands, and then fired it towards the so-called "eldest man".
This caught the opponent off guard. After hurriedly dodging, he was hit in the shoulder.
The "eldest man" screamed in pain at that time, and then his body began to twist. His skin seemed to be torn apart, and a huge body emerged from under the human skin!
This is a half-human, half-dragon monster. The whole body is the color of charcoal burning with flames. The upper body is a humanoid torso, but it has dragon horns. The lower body is similar to a dragon and crawls on four legs.
"Flame of life? Are you a red dragon?!"
When questioned, Buck smiled contemptuously.
"Sure enough, it's you guys, the dragon servants of the black dragon. Judging from your appearance, you must be the notorious Razoghar, right? I've heard of you."
After being called by Buck's name, Razogel appeared a little flustered, but at the same time he shouted angrily to the "person" behind him.
"Kill them!"
With an order, those people all took off their human disguises and showed their true colors. All the people living here are dragon people!
