It has to be said that Duanmu Huai's decision to take the upper-level route was correct. After learning that the evil dragon's actions may affect humans' impression of the dragon, especially Gu Leiya may be driven out of Manalia because of this.

After that, An immediately wrote to his father to discuss the problem of evil dragons raging.

Gulea also wrote to her father to discuss countermeasures.

Fortunately, news soon came from both sides.

Gu Leiya's father, the King of the Dragon Clan, was also worried about the evil dragon's rampage. After communicating with Gu Leiya, he decided to go to the Kingdom of Manalia in person to discuss the crusade against the evil dragon. And An's father also agreed.

After meeting the request of the Dragon King, the two parties decided to discuss the evil dragon crusade in Manalia King City, and An and Gu Leiya would naturally participate. As for Duanmu Huai, he would attend in the name of a representative of the Holy Church.

——After all, he is also a Paladin.

Although it doesn't look like it.

However, the result of this meeting... was far from satisfactory.

"Dad is such an idiot! Big idiot!"

An angrily walked into the room and slammed the door hard. Seeing An's angry look, Duanmuhuai and Gu Leiya looked at each other helplessly. Of course, they also knew why An was so angry.

In fact, the meeting went smoothly at the beginning. Everyone agreed that the evil dragon was a threat that needed to be dealt with, and agreed to send a crusade team.

But the selection of the expedition team...has become a big problem.

It goes without saying that the evil dragon Favna is very powerful, and if you want to defeat such an evil dragon, you will naturally need an elite and powerful team. Then the problem arises, Manalia and Lei

The kings of Genis certainly cannot risk their lives personally, and this is not their duty as rulers.

So who is going to go?

In terms of strength, An and Gu Leiya are naturally the best candidates, but the problem is that they are also princesses and cannot take risks. Not only that, humans and dragons are also at odds over the selection issue. From the perspective of humans,

Come, the evil dragon is a member of your race, you should take the initiative to clean up this mess, so you must send out elite troops and strong generals.

But in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, humans do this just to kill people with a borrowed knife, pitting themselves against evil dragons, and then reap the benefits. So they think it should be fair and just, and require Manalia to send out an equal number of elites.

However, the human side is unwilling. They think this is the rhythm of the dragon clan who want to wipe out all their top combat power. After all, humans are not like the dragon clan, all of them are strong. If the strong humans are fighting against the evil dragon

If they all died in the battle, wouldn't the Dragon Clan be able to call them here and there at will?

As a result, the meeting fell into an endless loop. Both sides were worried that the other side was up to something bad, so naturally they could not cooperate sincerely. The issue of candidates was also delayed again and again, and in the end, no agreement was reached. Although An protested to his father,...

Nothing came of it.

In the end, the group returned to the academy without any results.

"There is also a lot of pressure from my father. I heard that when he returned this time, many ministers had already expressed their dissatisfaction with him, thinking that Regnis should not take the initiative to participate in the battle between evil dragons and humans...

…”

Gu Leiya also sighed silently, having nothing to say.

"You don't seem that surprised? Mr. Knight?"

Looking curiously at Duanmu Huai, who was drinking black tea silently, An asked doubtfully, while Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"This is normal. Once politics is involved, there will always be many problems. This is why in many stories, everyone cannot work together until the critical moment. Like now, unless the evil dragon attacks Regnis and Mana at the same time

Leah, otherwise it will be difficult for both parties to unite and cooperate sincerely."

"But by then, it's too late!"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"Since I can't make a decision, I plan to go on my own."

"Why??!

"

Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's decision, both An and Gu Leiya looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.

"Mr. Knight, do you plan to defeat the evil dragon?"

"Of course, that was my original plan. If we can unite everyone to act together, then the chance of winning will be higher. But from the current point of view, although Regnis and Manalia are allies, the relationship between the two parties is not strong.

In this case, even if the two sides form an alliance, it is hard to say whether it will become more difficult and complicated. So I decided to defeat the evil dragon - after all, as a paladin, this is also my responsibility."

Duanmu Huai has now determined that the evil dragon Favna is probably the final BOSS of this world fragment. Originally, he hoped to unite the two countries to go up together. But now it seems that there is almost no chance of cooperation due to the conflicts and disputes between the two parties.

This is probably why it ended up being a war between humans and dragons.

Since these two countries can't count on it, Duanmuhuai can only rely on himself. As for whether he can win... He doesn't think it's a big problem. After all, Duanmuhuai also collected magic while studying magic at Manalia College.

There are a lot of spell cards, and because it is in the fragmented world, he can just fill it up without considering the upper limit of subspace heat.

As for if you can't fight, you can still run.

Not only that, in the previous meeting, Duanmu Huai also noticed a scent that he was very familiar with.

Obviously both parties are not wrong, but due to some force majeure, they have to step into the abyss step by step. This rhythm is really like the work of the deceitful god.

This was the biggest reason why he gave up the joint plan. The more complex the plan, the higher the possibility that the god of deceit would be involved in it, and the more likely it would be overturned. The only way to deal with that scheming guy is to just rush over and ransack the house without saying anything.

The best solution.

To put it bluntly, no matter how good you are at playing tricks, I will knock you down with one shot.

Even if you have 180 different tricks later, it will be useless.

Duanmu Huai's character is to do what he says, or to say he is very quick. The day after he decided to take action, he told the student union that he had something urgent to do and wanted to leave the college. Of course Duanmu Huai would not be stupid enough to say that he was going to fight against the evil dragon.

It just meant that there was news from the Holy City that he needed to go back. The college didn't pay any particular attention to this and just nodded in agreement.

After leaving the city, Duanmuhuai summoned the Metal Secret Dragon and prepared to set off, but at this moment, his head turned to the woods nearby.

"Come out, we're all following you, what do you want to do?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, he saw three figures emerging from the woods. The two in front were dressed like thieves and wrapped themselves in cloaks. Needless to say, they were An and Gu Leiya. As for the ones behind,

, is the eternal follower, Owen, Ann’s guardian knight.

"Although I have almost guessed it, I still have to ask, what do you want to do?"

Duanmuhuai looked at them helplessly and asked, while An raised his hand.

"As you can see, Mr. Knight, we also want to work with you to destroy the evil dragon!"

As he spoke, An looked at Duanmu Huai, his eyes shining.

"This should be no problem, Mr. Knight! Haven't you participated in many adventures before and defeated enemies like this?"

"Theoretically it's possible, but..."

"But what?"

"But can you two pampered princesses adapt to the adventurous life outside?"

Duanmuhuai looked at An and Gu Leiya and sighed helplessly.

"I want to explain in advance that the adventurous life in the wild is not as romantic as in novels and stories. There is no place to take a bath, it is impossible to eat hot food, and there is no soft bed. Maybe you will find out when you wake up.

There are snakes and bugs everywhere under the body, and if you are in the forest, there will even be mosquitoes and poisonous insects. To be honest, this is not something you pampered princesses like you can endure."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai looked at Owen behind them again.

He had a large suitcase on his left hand, a large suitcase on his right hand, and a baggage bigger than himself on his back, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Just keep two sets of changes of clothes and some dry food, and throw away all the rest."

"Why-----!"

An was shocked when he heard this.

"Then there are books we need to read on the way, as well as cosmetics and so on..."

"Of course, throw it away! Are you going? If not, go back!"

Do they really think this is an outing?

"yes……………"

Under Duanmuhuai's intimidation, An hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded obediently.
