On the wide road, the metal secret dragon moved forward with its legs, like a predatory Tyrannosaurus rex. On its back, An and Gu Leiya were happily looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Is this the Holy City's puppet technology? It's so interesting!"

Looking at the scenery in front of her, An was very excited. The unhappiness of being forced to throw away her luggage by Duanmu Huai had long since disappeared. Of course, Manalia also has similar technology, but those dolls are shaped by magic power in a short period of time.

They are mobile. Once their magic power is consumed, they will directly return to dust, so mechanical units like the Metal Mystical Dragon are still very attractive to them.

"We are not here to play..."

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Duanmu Huai shook his head silently, but it didn't matter. Adventurers who had just gone out were like this. At least compared to the idiot he saw in Bretonnia, these two were already very good.

.Considering that they are all pampered princesses, it is quite good to be as good as they are now. As for the rest... let reality educate them.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai looked at Lorena again.

"Lorena, you must be in the north."

"Yes, Lord Knight."

Lorena, who was praying, heard Duanmuhuai's question, opened her eyes and nodded.

"We met many refugees from the north in Manalia. They all said this. There is an evil dragon raging in the north, and everyone no longer dares to stay outside."

"I hope we are taking the right route."

Duanmuhuai can only say this. After all, many national borders in this era are not clearly divided. Most of them are divided by natural boundaries. For example, the border between the Empire and Bretonnia is divided by gray mountains. However,

The gray mountains are the territory of the dwarves...

The same is true for Manalia. The northern border is located near the river, but there are many people living across the river. So strictly speaking, the evil dragon is already attacking humans, but it has not invaded the core of Manalia.

territory, so they are considered to pose no threat to them for the time being.

People are always like this, they won’t shed tears until they see the coffin.

"Mr. Knight, how should we find the evil dragon?"

At this time, Owen also asked. After all, everyone only knew that Fafna and its evil dragon army were raging in the north, but there was no detailed location coordinates where they were.

"Well, first we need to find the villages and towns destroyed by the evil dragon, then find the evil dragon army, then kill those stupid big lizards, then ask them about Fafna's location, and then determine the route..."

"Hey? Do you want to go to such trouble?"

Hearing this, An shouted.

"Mr. Knight, you were so decisive before, I thought you already knew where Fife was!"

“That’s what adventure is.”

Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes at An.

"Adventures are often like hunting. You have to look for traces of prey, determine its whereabouts, track and find its lair, and then consider how to kill it. Fife is not an idiot. If he had known where his lair was, the two countries would have

It won’t be so troublesome if we unite.”

Yes, one of the reasons why the joint team cannot determine is that although everyone knows that Fafna is in the north, no one knows its specific location. With such a large area of ​​land in the north, it is simply unrealistic to search manually. Therefore, even if an adventure team is sent,

No one knows how many years it will take them to find Fafna.

"It's so troublesome..."

"If you don't want to, just go back."

"Ugh..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's merciless words, An pouted and hugged Gu Leiya.

"Gulea, Mr. Knight bullied me!"

"……………………"

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly, but soon, he turned his gaze forward again, and then Duanmu Huai's eyes narrowed.

"There is a small town ahead. Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can get some clues."

"A small town?"

Hearing this, An also hurriedly raised his head and looked forward. Sure enough, he could see a small town in the distance on the horizon.

but………

"Why is there smoke? Is it a fire?"

Hearing An's confused inquiry, Owen opened his mouth and wanted to explain something to her, but Duanmuhuai gave him a look, signaling Owen not to talk too much.

To deal with such an innocent and silly girl, you have to give her a real beating to wake her up.

And when the group finally arrived at the town, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

I saw that the town in front of me had completely turned into a burned-out ruin. There were charred remains of houses with thick smoke everywhere.

Not only that…………

"It's too much..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, An's face turned pale and his lips trembled. Gu Leiya next to him was also stunned and speechless.

In front of them were several burnt corpses, which were still as they were before death. You could see some people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, some running for their lives, and some trying to protect their children... Of course, in the end, this

Everything was in vain, everything turned into scorched earth under the spray of dragon's breath falling from the sky.

"Ogis, Lorena, search to see if there are any survivors."

Duanmuhuai was used to this kind of scene. After all, when he dealt with the followers of the evil god, he had seen worse scenes than this. So he just calmed down quickly and issued an order for Ogis and Lorena to search for survivors.

.

As for the two princesses... let them calm down here.

Duanmu Huai is very familiar with searching for survivors. He strode among the ruins of the town while scanning the surrounding life fluctuations. According to Duanmu Huai's experience, if there are survivors, they will usually hide in

A place like a basement or cellar.

Sure enough, Duanmuhuai soon discovered a life reaction underground under a ruin. He walked around the ruins and then found the cellar door - it was covered with various debris. If not,

If anyone discovers it, it will only be a matter of time before these people die inside.

"There are survivors here, come and help."

Duanmuhuai shouted, and then started to clean the debris above the cellar door. At this time, others heard Duanmuhuai's shout and ran over in a hurry. Soon, Duanmuhuai cleared the debris above the cellar door.

After cleaning up, he opened the door and motioned for Owen and Lorena to go down and check the situation - with his size, he probably wouldn't even be able to turn around when he went in.

"Mr. Knight, what are we going to do?"

An and Gu Leiya stood beside them at a loss, not knowing what they should do. They must be in a very uncomfortable mood now, but they didn't know what they could do.

"Just stay there and stay out of the way."

Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously and quickly gave an answer. The two of them didn't speak, they just stood there obediently.

After a while, Owen and Lorena walked out with several people. There were men and women, old and young, about four or five of them. Everyone looked haggard and miserable.

"what's the situation?"

It was only then that Duanmuhuai stepped forward and asked Owen, who quickly answered.

"They are the people who live here. Because the dragons suddenly launched an attack on this town, they panicked and had to hide in the cellar. They planned to wait for the dragons to leave before coming out, so they have been hiding until now."

"Ask them which direction the dragons came from, what they know about these dragons, and then..."

Duanmuhuai paused and looked at the refugees over there.

"Give them some food and money and let them go."

"……………OK."

Owen had no better idea, so he could only nodded. Then he returned to the group of survivors again and started talking to them in a low voice.

Soon, Duanmuhuai saw one of the little boys raising his head and looking at him. Then he quickly ran to his side and raised his head to look at him.

"Are you going to kill those dragons?"

"this……………"

Facing the little boy's inquiry, An and Gu Liya were at a loss, while Duanmuhuai just nodded silently, while the little boy lowered his head.

"Please, please, please kill all these dragons! They... they destroyed my home, Buck, Mary, and others are all dead! Please avenge them, I must

We must kill all those giant dragons!

"

"………………"

Hearing the little boy's pleading full of anger and sadness, Gu Leya turned pale and said nothing, while An didn't know what to say. Only Duanmu Huai looked at them meaningfully, and then looked at the people in front of her.

The little boy nodded.

"Of course, that's why we're here."
