The members of the dwarf expedition team shouted happily——
"I can make it into the most sophisticated shield, absolutely top quality!"
"Hmph, it's rare to see many strange things. Look at this, dragon skin."
Grundy Bronze Ax pointed at the flesh and blood behind the broken dragon scales and said——
"Skin this ice dragon. Dragon skin is the best material for making clothes. Dragon skin cloaks are a scarce commodity in the empire and can only be found. This thing is much more valuable than those broken shields."
The two dwarves were bragging to each other there, as if the dragon was their trophy.
"What do you know? Look at this, this is the real treasure!"
Bogul's words interrupted the quarrel between the two dwarf companions, and the butcher was seen standing in front of the dragon's severed head, looking at it carefully.
"What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, I don't have the patience!"
Grondi came bulkily wearing a suit of armor.
"Look, this is the real treasure. There are many dragon scales and dragon skins you mentioned. But this one is rare. Especially the adult dragon. I haven't seen such a large dragon in a long, long time."
Bogul said, pointing his ax at the fangs in the frost dragon's mouth. The two dwarf companions immediately reacted. Indeed, compared to dragon skin and dragon scales, dragon teeth are the most precious thing. It can be made
It can be made into various handicrafts, jewelry, necklaces, etc. Most jewelry necklaces are made of pearls, diamonds or gold and silver, and the price is already very high. But in front of the dragon tooth necklace, those jewelry and necklaces are simply too low-end.
There is no class at all. With a necklace or jewelry made of dragon teeth, you can show off in front of the nobles, and no one can come up with a second piece that can compete with you. In the empire, dragon teeth products became
A symbol of status.
Crucially, dragon teeth not only have this function, they are also an excellent raw material for making various amulets. After being processed by dwarf craftsmen, some dragon tooth necklaces or bracelets can be used as amulets, and some advanced amulets can even directly enhance a person's health.
The physical strength and toughness can help wounds heal quickly or prevent infection from diseases. Therefore, owning a dragon tooth necklace can be said to be the luxury wish of many imperial nobles.
"Wait, wait, you guys haven't figured out the situation yet. This dragon is not our trophy. The person who really owns it is there."
While Bogul and the dwarves were discussing, Makaha, the captain of the dwarf expedition, interrupted their conversation and pointed at the human not far away.
I saw Dragon Slayer Rhodes standing on the ruins, angrily facing the elf...
"Tell me! What's going on with this army? And this dragon? Before you came here, this fishing village was here. They fished and hunted here. They have developed under my eyes to this day. They have never been here.
There is no conflict with the large Norscan tribe, and it is impossible for such a small clan to conflict with the large clans in the interior. You can deceive others, but you cannot hide it from me. The people of the Wagg clan are definitely coming for you.
of."
On the ruins, Rhodes violently pushed the female elf under the tower and questioned angrily.
This really requires anger. Dragonbone Port is Kislev's only foothold on the Norsca Peninsula. It was defeated by Rhodes and many Blackhammer Fort soldiers with blood and sweat. Now, it was destroyed because of an ice dragon.
The town was destroyed, more than half of the buildings collapsed, all the ships in the port were torn to pieces, and the number of casualties was unknown. To rebuild, time is a problem, and the cost of reconstruction is a big problem. Kisli
The husband is now in poverty. Both the national treasury and the small treasury of Erengrad are short of funds. The livelihood of the people in the country cannot be guaranteed, let alone spending money in the northern continent far away from the mainland.
Faced with the questioning, Aliria seemed unfazed. She tried to push the man's hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't. The force was so powerful that she was pressed against the wall.
He couldn't move. Aliria remembered that battle in the woods. She almost killed the man in front of her. At that time, she was slightly superior in terms of combat skills and strength. How could it be that in just a few years?
Over time, this human lord named Rhodes has increased his strength so much? Or is it because he is too weak? Aliria didn't know. After several struggles to no avail, she could only lean against the wall and look at each other coldly.
"Your Excellency, I understand your feelings. However, please let this lady go first. She is the emperor's benefactor and our captain."
Warrick, Captain of Rick's Guards, shouted at the side. But Rhodes did not give him any chance to explain. He had long known that the captain and the female elf were in a superior-subordinate relationship. Emperor Louis Bird had ordered them to protect the wood elves.
, these soldiers will naturally stand up to oppose any move that is harmful to the wood elves. But Rhodes' attitude is also very firm.
"Captain, you'd better stay aside. I won't be polite to anyone until I figure out the situation. I saved you and invited you to my territory. But you concealed the truth from me and let my soldiers
I am being kind to you and the people by not throwing you back to feed the wolves and suffering pain that should not be theirs."
Rhodes turned his head and shouted. For a moment, Celta, a group of Norscan warriors, and soldiers from the Dwarf expedition team had surrounded Varrick and his Imperial Guard Legion. And Rhodes
The same thing, all they showed in their eyes was anger.
"Tell me the truth! Elf!"
Rhodes was intimidated. The red and black dagger pierced out of his sleeve and rested on the wood elf's white throat.
Aliria was almost out of breath, but she was still stubborn.
Soon, the white bear Ursock also came in and stared at the elf with his blood-red eyes. It seemed like an interrogation of the soul. It was the white bear who saved them. If Ursock didn't roar that day and didn't lead the expedition team to run wildly
, and there was no subsequent rescue. Therefore, it can be said that the white bear saved her.
Aliria's beautiful eyes flickered with uneasiness. She turned her head to look at the struggling humans in the ruins, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. I don't mind keeping you locked up here."
Rhodes threatened. They faced each other and could almost feel each other's breath.
Aliria turned her face away, "Let me go, I'll tell you." She hummed softly.
After hearing this, Rhodes let go of his thick hand, and the wood elf couldn't help but gasp for air. In his heart, he cursed that the man in front of him was almost like a beast.
"Tell me, I don't have the patience to wait for you to finish breathing."
Rhodes stared at the wood elf.
"Yes, they are coming for me." Aliria said coldly, "A month ago, I took them deep into this continent and attacked a barbarian village while hunting. I originally
I wanted to torture and interrogate him to get the information I wanted about Chaos, but I unexpectedly got another piece of information."
"what news?"
Rhodes asked.
"The Norscan tribes are gathering together, preparing to march south to plunder the coastal cities of the empire."
Aliria replied coldly.
"So, they want to hunt you down, are they afraid that you will return to the empire early and report the situation in the north to the empire?"
Rhodes continued to ask.
"Yes. You have already seen the scene under the cliff. But this time, it is just a more crazy pursuit."
Aliria said casually. She bit her lip, her eyes full of unwillingness, although Rhodes didn't know what she was unwilling to accept.
"Kill and silence."
Bogur added on the sidelines.
"If what you said is true, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Rhodes asked rhetorically.
"Tell you in advance, will you still bring me to the port?"
Alyria's words left Rhodes speechless for a moment.
"Besides, this is only the second time you and I have met. We were enemies the last time we met. Why should I trust you? Trust a human being who has only met once?"
Aliria still spoke arrogantly. But Rhodes couldn't care less. If what she said was true, then these people must be sent back to the empire as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be an endless stream of Norsca troops chasing them.
, more and more each time. Keel Port has been destroyed. If there is another wave, I am afraid that the regular army will be mobilized to face the war. There is absolutely no need to dispatch the troops in the northern border of Kislev in order to protect these foreigners. The gain outweighs the loss.
