Chapter 406
Chapter 406
Working in the North, a country that is plagued by severe cold all year round. Except for the hottest days in summer, the entire border is covered by flying snow.
Elena came to this snowy country alone. The extreme cold here even forced him to wear thick clothes. His face was frozen red, and his purple lips kept breathing out white air.
Going to Rivadeo, the border city of the principality, according to the information given by Kodorev, the injured dragon appeared near this area.
It's funny to say that the dragon that can be active in the country of ice and snow is naturally the existence of the ice dragon clan. I don't know if the other party is in a bad mood or eats something wrong, but he actually attacked one of the cities of the principality in broad daylight.
You should know that the principality had a war with the empire a long time ago. Although it ended with the principality surrendering and seeking peace at that time, it was still a war with the most powerful empire for a period of time.
Since losing the war, the Principality has been working hard to improve its combat power. Now the Principality has become a country of fierce soldiers. The people of the Principality are proud to be excellent soldiers. It is a country with a strong military style.
The Principality has its own special cultural atmosphere, which is completely different from the customs of the Empire and the Kingdom, which are countries of knights.
The iron-headed ice dragon attacked such a country, but was shot into a sieve by the soldiers of the Principality with muskets. It could only flee with its tail between its legs and came to this remote city of Rivadeo.
The local adventurer guild immediately smelled the smell and issued an invitation to the world to slay the dragon, hoping to invite a dragon slayer hero who is willing to fight the dragon.
But surprisingly, there are very few adventurers willing to accept the invitation. Adventurers who are used to licking blood on the edge of a knife do not mean that they really don't care about their lives.
The name of dragon slayer sounds loud, but the danger is also great. If you fall into it accidentally, you will really lose your life.
So what if the dragon is injured? It won't stretch its head over for you to chop. It has the strength to fly so far to heal, which means it still has the strength to resist.
This world of ice and snow is its home ground. It is still a question whether it can break through its blizzard, let alone stab the sword into the opponent's neck.
However, even so, there are still people who are not afraid of death and accept this crusade mission. There are still people who want to be famous, even if they have to risk their lives.
Elena is barely one of these people. Although he is very reluctant, cooperation is still necessary. Even if he uses these strangers as a stepping stone, he has to cooperate with them with a smile.
There are exactly 100 people in the crusade team. This number can only be said to be average. With the dragon as the opponent, it can only be regarded as an "entry ticket".
God knows how many people will die in a battle. Elena is not optimistic about this.
Dragons are never easy to mess with. Elena knows very well that this creature is quite vengeful. The reason why the ice dragon did not choose to leave the principality, but chose a remote area to heal, is naturally to hold the idea of making a comeback in the future.
Whatever it wants to do, it must bite off a piece of meat from the principality. The idea of this monster is so simple. It is arrogant and conceited and never likes to suffer losses.
When it is resting, it will be disturbed by adventurers. It will definitely wipe out all those who disturb its peace. Even if someone can escape by chance, it will definitely chase the other party to the end of the world.
Show the adventurer's identity card. The silver card identity can almost allow Elena to travel around the principality unimpeded.
When he came to the local guild, the simple decoration like the South City District made Elena feel a little familiar, but the guild here also has food supply.
The broth made from lizards, a local specialty of ice and snow, is quite popular. It has a strong taste and can drive away the cold and keep warm. It is like human firewood in this cold snowy day and is very popular among local people.
But for outsiders, this is somewhat difficult to accept. After all, a lizard that is almost intact except for the internal organs is lying in the bowl. For ordinary people, such food is indeed a bit too advanced and difficult to swallow.
Sitting on the chair and looking at the thick soup on the table, Elena's expression is also a bit complicated, but after all, he is not a picky eater. When he is hungry, he even picks up the bugs on the ground to eat. Why should he be picky?
At least the taste is good. After taking a bite, Elena showed a very satisfied expression. His whole body couldn't help trembling, and his eyes were blurred as if he had found his soul.
After warming up his body and stomach, Elena began to look around. The not-so-spacious guild was full of adventurers, and these adventurers were the members who were going to fight the ice dragon soon.
Lone wolves like himThere were still few people, almost everyone was in groups, and Elena looked very conspicuous alone.
"Hey, brother, are you alone?"
Just then, a man with red hair and a refreshing appearance came over and sat opposite Elena in a very familiar manner.
He carried a huge sword on his back, and his clothes were relatively thin compared to others. It can be said that he was a very obvious warrior character, and he was most likely an adventurer with a warrior professional identity certificate.
The other party was not alone. Even when he came to chat, he was followed by his companions, a female magician in a black robe and black hair, a strong and tall male shield guard, and a male thief who was dressed very thinly in this icy and snowy place.
What surprised Elena the most was that the other party actually had a healing profession. A female priest in a white robe stood behind the red-haired man, and her expression looked a little too arrogant.
It can be seen that she was treated well on a daily basis and was protected by the team as a fragile item. Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop such a character and temperament.
"What's the matter?"
Elena looked up at the other person and acted quite indifferent, which was somewhat rude.
"You are also going to fight the ice dragon, right? Our team is short of a swordsman to charge with me. I see that you are alone. Do you have any idea to team up with us temporarily? How about we split the reward after the fight?"
The red-haired man said with a smile. His smile looked so bright that most people would subconsciously have a good impression of such a person.
It is indeed more comfortable to chat with such a refreshing person, but Elena looked very indifferent.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Noah, and I am glad to meet you."
Seeing that Elena didn't react, the man named Noah was stunned for a moment, thinking that he forgot to introduce himself, which made Elena a little indifferent.
After saying his name, he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to make friends, and the smile on his face was still very bright.
