Chapter 440
Chapter 440
The battle was won in a relatively smooth manner, and the ice dragon was taken down without any injuries. This was undoubtedly a good thing for Elena and Fili.
But when the two calmed down and looked around, they deeply understood that this crusade was more tragic than they had imagined.
There was no way to be an enemy of the dragon. Elena had also reminded Fili of the danger of the fortress dragon. When discussing with Fili whether to participate in the crusade of the ice dragon, Elena had emphasized it more than once.
Although Fili was unwilling to listen, she still conveyed Elena's words to Robert, asking the governor of the fortress to re-identify the difficulty of the crusade.
As a result, of course, Robert ignored Elena's words. The great achievements of the crusade were in front of him. How could a person like him let it go?
He was even more anxious than anyone else to crusade the ice dragon. This was a major matter related to whether he could live more comfortably in the second half of his life. No one could persuade him.
As a result, he paid a heavy price for his stupidity. All the soldiers in the fortress were killed, and the only survivor was Kai, the adventurer. Even he himself lost his life, and he is probably jumping in hell now.
After all, he paid so much, but in the end, it was Elena who got the advantage.
Speaking of Kai, Elena couldn't help but turn her head and look at this priest who was targeting her everywhere. Her various characteristics as a half-dragon were also revealed in front of him.
But he was not worried that Kai would leak the secret at all, after all, this poor guy had collapsed and gone crazy.
"Don't... don't come over, don't hurt me... don't leave me..."
Since Elena and Fili arrived at the scene, Kai has been repeating these meaningless words.
The death of his companions in front of him and the fear brought by the ice dragon made Kai, who was not very strong, completely collapse. Whether he can recover is a question.
Even if he recovers, it will take a long time. In this state, even if she spreads that Elena is a half-dragon, no one will believe it, and they will only think that she has not recovered thoroughly enough.
Seeing the person who was still talking to her in the morning lying in front of her with a miserable death, Fili was in a bad mood. After this incident was over, she would need a long time to recover her mentality.
At the same time, she looked at Elena with some complexity, recalling her previous stubborn appearance, and she was unwilling to listen to Elena's words no matter what.
But the fact is that if Fili followed the team to defeat the ice dragon, her fate would probably be the same as those people on the ground, and she would not be able to resist the desperate attack of the ice dragon.
In a sense, the lizardmen commanded by the ice dragon saved Fili's life. If she hadn't cared about the village and went to the village to defeat the lizardmen, she would probably be lying on the ground like everyone else.
In other words, it was Elena who saved her life. After all, without Elena's help, Fili would not be safe and sound, and the ice dragon would not be defeated.
You have to know that the dragon clan is very vengeful. If the ice dragon is not solved this time, the ice dragon will recover by devouring a large number of humans. Once it recovers, everything around it will probably bear her anger.
Before she could thank Elena, as an adventurer, Elena had to report the results of the ice dragon crusade to the guild.
But because Elena could not ride a horse, the work of rushing to the guild to report and find manpower was given to Fili, and Elena stayed here alone to slowly deal with the aftermath.
The good news is that there is no need to worry about whether the monsters will come to make trouble by smelling the blood. After all, all the monsters nearby have been conquered, and there will be no trace of monsters for a long time. Elena can completely deal with everything here slowly.
The first task is to "dismantle" the ice dragon. The dragon is full of treasures, although it cannot be all privately swallowed. After all, the guild is obliged to compensate the sacrificed adventurers, and a large part of the various benefits obtained from the materials on the dragon are used to do this.
But according to the rules, Elena could keep some for himself, even if it was not much, it was enough for him to use these materials to build a set of equipment.
He was not the only one who conquered the Ice Dragon. Others also contributed, but there was no doubt that Elena's contribution was the greatest. As the only living person among the adventurers, he could get a lot of things.
Even though the Ice Dragon looked very beautiful, Elena felt no psychological pressure to cut the other party's body that turned into a giant dragon with a dagger.
Although it was not something worth showing off, Elena had done many more evil things. NowThis level of psychological pressure didn't affect him much at all.
Unfortunately, the ice dragon's scales were all broken, and the only intact one was the reverse scale that the ice dragon handed to Elena in a false surrender.
Otherwise, Elena could have used these scales to get rid of Sister Melissa and build a set of extremely good protective gear, instead of the light armor on Elena's body being completely broken in the previous battle.
There was no need to even recycle it, Elena planned to throw it here directly, but when he thought that he would probably be nagged by Sister Melissa again after he returned, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Although Melissa didn't talk much, she was not easy to deal with when she got angry, and she was particularly serious and ruthless when she spoke.
Elena felt a little melancholy after a moment of distraction. He had just been out for a short time, and it might not be enough for a month at most, but he was already missing home.
After the ice dragon's body was processed, Elena turned his attention to the victims. Although he was used to such scenes, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched.
Although he said that he didn't care much, Elena still carefully moved various bodies and placed them in a row to facilitate the Adventurer's Guild to come and count them.
Even in order for these people to be claimed by their families in the future, Elena tried his best to find their broken bodies or meat pastes and piled them together in an orderly manner to restore them as much as possible.
Although he looked calm on the surface, Elena was in a very heavy mood. It was really not good to stare at the various images of corpses.
Especially when the bodies of Noah's team were found and placed, an indescribable feeling emerged in Elena's heart.
Although he never regarded these people as his companions, Noah's team never regarded him as a teammate. All the interactions were for the sake of interests and convenience.
But after all, they were people who had some exchanges, and it wasn't that they didn't get along well. Looking at the rewards of these acquaintances returning to the earth here, Elaina couldn't help but sigh.
Turning back to look at Kai who was looking at this side with empty eyes, Elaina's mood became more complicated. There was another person in the world who lived a heavy life, and that person was not Elaina herself.
