A carriage was driving lonely in the ice and snow.
Annan was wrapped in cotton clothes, holding the reins, and wearing a felt hat, pretending to be the same as when he came to Bethal City. The food cooked in the carriage behind him was steaming.
Just as Gema would not expect that he would appear in Betar City, the enemy would not expect that the King of the North would not be in the team.
Annan followed the convoy far behind along the ruts the team had made in the snow. This way he would not be trapped when the team in front was in danger and could rescue them in time.
The food was almost cooked. Annan slowed down the carriage, took out the hot pot, scooped the food with rising mist into the bowl, and hummed leisurely while waiting for the food to cool down. Suddenly, he was blocked by a group of mercenaries and hijacked.
.
…
After several days of trekking, the King of the North's fleet successfully arrived in Breeze City.
Residents who saw the snowflake emblem on the carriage ran into the city, and soon the streets were filled with people, with the roar of the mountain and the roar of Jack, and the names of Andy and Freeman mixed in.
Xingyue Bay is Annan's home, and Breeze City is half of Annan's home.
The motorcade went to Winchet Manor to rest temporarily while waiting for Annan behind the team to catch up. As a result, they did not see Annan's carriage until evening.
"Where's Annan?"
…
The cold wind blowing "whimpering" at night drifted outside the rocks, the firewood crackled, and the splashing sparks suddenly lit up several faces.
Annan huddled in the corner and said to the mercenaries who were roasting food in front of the campfire: "Can you let me go..."
The soldier wearing a horn hat glanced at him: "How much ransom are you prepared to pay to buy back your life?"
"I have nothing of value..."
"Then deal with him. We still need to find the location of the dragon's nest."
The leader in bearskin said, and the horned warrior picked up his battle ax and walked towards Annan.
"Dragon's Nest? Are you looking for a blue dragon? I know where it is!"
Annan's words made the Ox Warrior stop. The Bearskin Leader frowned and said, "You know?"
"I'm from Pinglin Town, and I know there is a blue dragon in the haunted gold mine on the outskirts... I worked as a miner there, and I can guide you!"
"What's your name?"
"Master Olme."
"Tell me everything you know."
Annan made up some random stories and added some extra flair by saying that the blue dragon was only at the elite level.
"Elite? Are you lying to us?"
"Really! There is a powerful elite warrior in the town. His presence makes even the blue dragons dare not invade the town!"
"A baby dragon, it seems we are lucky!"
The white-haired mage beside the campfire said happily. Young dragons can only be killed, but young dragons can be caught and sold for more money.
Annan learned from their conversation that this was a dragon-hunting team. These mercenaries got the information about the blue dragon from nowhere, and formed a team to hunt the dragon. Annan said that there were many white dragons in the snowy mountains and forests, and the white-haired mage sarcastically said that
Is a group of lizards worthy of being called a dragon?
"You will lead the way tomorrow."
The bearskin leader's words meant that they had escaped disaster.
Annan pretended to be relieved and swept past these professionals, including a master warrior and four elite professionals, one of whom was a mage. The sudden attack would indeed bring trouble to the blue dragon. Fortunately, Annan met them.
"Don't look into my eyes."
When Annan looked at the only female warrior in the team, she made a rough and shy voice: "Otherwise, I won't be able to hide my love."
He didn't deliberately charm himself... Annan was quietly vigilant. If he was attacked at night, he would have to deal with these mercenaries...
As the night progressed, the mercenaries began to rest. Annan was not given any food, not even a blanket, so he had to huddle in the campfire and keep vigil.
Early the next morning, the bearskin leader found the female warrior listless.
"You didn't rest?"
The sturdy female warrior looked at Annan with salivation: "Someone kept me awake all night."
"When you find the blue dragon, he will be yours."
The bearskin leader woke up his companions, prepared food and set off. This time Annan got a piece of burnt cake.
When setting off with the dragon hunting team, Annan suddenly thought, mercenaries, dragon slaying... would this be considered an adventure?
When passing a village not far from Pinglin Town, they left their horses and carriage behind, went off the road into the forest, and took a shortcut across a frozen river.
Annan, who was walking on the ice, quietly activated the magic ring, and a fire element appeared under the ice, melting the ice with blazing heat. Steam and falling suddenly enveloped the unprepared Horned Warrior.
Annan, who was the first to react, stretched out his hand, but only grabbed his horn helmet.
The soldiers who fell into the glacier didn't know where they were taken by the river, and the panicked people rushed across the glacier.
Five dragon hunters go to one of them.
"It seems that there is one less person to share the spoils with." The ranger, who was not dealing with the horned warriors, snorted coldly.
The bearskin warrior with an unsightly expression glanced at him and continued to set off.
Near noon, signs of felling appeared in the surrounding woods, and Annan saw the snow-covered low hills.
"That's the haunted gold mine there," said Annan, who threw away his felt hat and put on a horn helmet.
The dragon-hunting team made a fire and rested in a clearing in the forest. The ranger captured a few snowshoe rabbits, plucked the fur and skinned them and threw them into the pot. The meat was fragrant. However, just after taking a few bites, the bear-skin leader suddenly fell to the ground. The ranger pulled out his arrow.
Ya wanted to kill the mage again, but the bearskin leader who pretended to be dead got up and smashed him to death. He then staggered and fell down again. Black blood gushed out from his facial features, and he died completely.
Three of the five dragon hunters were eliminated.
Annan looked in surprise at the team that was already fighting among themselves before they met the blue dragon. He reluctantly picked up the quiver containing the steel arrows and carried it behind his back. He took off the leader's bear skin and put it on his body.
The remaining white-haired mages and female warriors gave up their rest, passed through the abandoned camp, and entered the haunted gold mine.
"The treasure is inside." Annan told them.
"What's more precious than you?"
The female warrior looked at Annan affectionately, and the fluorescence of the arcane missile suddenly lit up behind her. The female warrior who was hit erupted into a pink mist of blood, escaped from the mine, and disappeared.
Four of the five dragon hunters were eliminated.
"Hurry up and lead the way. If you find the blue dragon, get out..."
The white-haired mage urged Annan, who was wearing a horn hat, bearskin clothing, clutching a long sword, and carrying a bucket of arrows, to let him take these relics - they would all be his after finding the blue dragon.
Annan plainly led the white-haired mage deep into the mine. Ten minutes later, a cave appeared in front of him:
The mountains of gold coins were shining brightly, and the blue dragon lay unsuspectingly on the mountain of treasure.
The mage stood at the foot of the mountain of treasure, as if he saw treasure and prestige waving to him. He suppressed his excitement and released a spell on the lazy blue dragon——
"Death to the villain!"
A sudden shout sounded from behind, and the biting chill melted from his chest. The mage stared blankly at the bloody blade coming out of his chest, and stumbled to the ground.
All five dragon hunters are gone.
They are gathered together because of their treasure, and they are divided because of their treasure.
At the last moment of his life, the mage tried to open his eyes, hoping to see the blue dragon kill this idiot who couldn't understand the situation.
The boy said: "I came to save the princess."
The blue dragon lying on the mountain of treasure lowered its eyes:
