Age of Adepts

Chapter 241: Land cursed by dragons

Views:

Greem came here on the fifth day after the "dragon attack" in Scandinavian City.

Standing on a precipitous peak of Mingsu Mountain, Greem could clearly see the pitiful king's capital full of ruins and people mourning under his feet.

Along the way, as long as it is a human city of a certain size, almost all of them cannot escape the looting of the giant dragon. This is already the seventh human city he has seen that has suffered from a "dragon attack", and it is also the most miserable one.

Because after all, this is the greatest and most magnificent city of glory in the Kingdom of Knights—Scandle!

Unfortunately, it is now a dilapidated city buried in rubble and broken walls.

Numerous displaced residents of the royal capital were rummaging for food and clothing in the dilapidated houses. The winding refugee convoys crowded the roads out of the city. People were screaming everywhere, and there was a foul smell everywhere...

The large area of buildings at the foot of the mountain is basically intact. After all, it is a civilian-inhabited area, so the looting by the dragon is the lightest. As the mountains go upwards, the dilapidated and damaged buildings become more and more serious. Greem could tell that the more ornate and more exquisite the building, the more serious the damage and collapse.

It seems that those giant dragons are also quite proficient in the way of looting!

Greem took off his hood, revealing his resolute and upright face in the sunlight.

Looking down at the sad and desolate capital of the Knight Kingdom in front of him, Greem's heart was also filled with endless sighs.

Once upon a time, the giant dragon was the biggest reliance of these human emperors, and it was also the firm cornerstone for them to maintain their rule.

Since Dragon Nest suddenly appeared in the plane thousands of years ago, the human kingdom has established the closest mutual assistance relationship with them.

The dragons enjoy offerings from humans, and humans are blessed by the dragons.

Whether it is the powerful monsters in the natural world or the ambitious local nobles, they all regard the giant dragon in the Dragon Valley as the real ruler of the knight plane. And their titled His Majesty the King is just a poor wretch crouching in front of the giant dragon!

Before 1700, the Edward family was nothing more than a small local aristocrat. But they paid homage to the giant dragons, and promised countless benefits and huge wealth in one breath. Therefore, under the protection of the Dragon Valley, the Edward family rose strongly, defeated all the local nobles, and then destroyed the previous powerful kingdom, and only then did the so-called knight kingdom be established.

With the covenant of the dragon clan, the Edward family has just ushered in the prosperity and peace of 1700. However, the heavy enshrinement of the giant dragon also made this Knight Kingdom extremely weak, and it was no longer able to control the entire Knight Continent.

Even if the Kingdom of Knights bowed to Dragon Valley and obeyed, but when the plane changed imminently, it still couldn't stop Dragon Valley from breaking the kingdom's backbone and extracting the last essence and wealth from it.

It seems that I am still one step late!

Those shameless dragons have completely ransacked the city.

But after all, Greem came here not for worldly wealth and money, but for a task assigned by Master Sarubo. Of course, it was also for the knowledge of rune energy fusion that he had dreamed of.

Now, the entire capital of Skanderlei was in ruins, and he hoped that nothing happened to the target he was looking for.

On the only bluestone road leading to the city, people with expressionless faces can be seen everywhere pushing carts, driving livestock, and dragging their families out of the city. A mother crying with her child in her arms, an old man leaning on the ruined wall with a numb expression, a strong man full of hatred... Their expressions are different, but they are the same disheveled, the same crying without tears.

Greem has seen this kind of expression a lot along the way!

After all, this is the great capital of the entire knight kingdom, with inexhaustible and inexhaustible wealth, so it is especially favored by giant dragons.

For five consecutive days, almost every day, hordes of giant dragons flew in from the distant sky, ran into the city to plunder, and returned with big bags and small bags.

In order to avoid the dragon's plunder, the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in the city fled the city cursed by the dragon one after another, and those who stayed in the city were poor civilians with nowhere to go.

However, as the giant dragon raged day after day, the city had gradually died, and even those civilians who had nothing had to leave this familiar homeland that was born and raised in pain.

Greem entered Scandream City amidst such a chaotic crowd.

Although he had tried his best to change himself into a gray traveling cloak that was old enough to be ordinary, but as he walked into the room, he could still see the exquisite robes filled with witchcraft runes through the corners of the clothes that were lifted up. Although some guys with ulterior motives can't understand these patterns, it doesn't prevent them from recognizing the value in them.

So, behind Greem, there were some unlucky guys in ragged clothes, rough faces, and sticks, knives and forks in their hands.

Greem passed by a tall tower that was half on its side, followed a gray stone corridor, and turned into an alley. Seeing this scene, those homeless thugs' eyes immediately lit up, and they chased after them with great strides.

The fighting time is short.

If it weren't for the fear of being discovered by the giant dragons about the traces of witchcraft fluctuations, it would only take a simple witchcraft fireball to kill all these blind guys. But now, Greem could only raise his fist and knock them down one by one with brute force.

Just when a group of people turned into rolling gourds, rolling on the ground in pain, Greem had already picked up a tall and thin villain by the chin.

"Where is the demon-casting camp in the capital? Take me there immediately, or..." Greem's right hand, like a pair of iron pincers, suddenly turned red, and in an instant, a scorched handprint was scorched on the opponent's face.

"Evil one, you are the evil one..." The staggering guys immediately "recognized" Greem's identity, and they all looked terrified.

After all, Greem is only a fire elemental wizard, and he doesn't have much research on soul science, otherwise he wouldn't need to use coercion and lure to let these guys lead him the way. But it's a pity that even though Greem tortured them all, he still didn't get any information about the so-called demon casting camp in the king's capital.

Just as Greem was frowning and thinking about how to clean them up, a crisp child's voice came from the ruins beside him.

"It's impossible for them to know where the casting camp is!"

Greem was slightly startled, his mental strength was released and then withdrawn, and he quickly locked on to the unexpected intruder.

This is a skinny and skinny boy, apparently only eleven or twelve years old, with a hunched body hiding behind a toppled broken wall. The opponent's breath was weak, and Greem didn't have any mental power to release, so he was able to hide from his eyes and ears and sneak up close.

"Do you know the Casting Demon Camp?" Greem turned his head to look at the guy who appeared out of nowhere: "Are you also a spellcaster?"

On the other party, Greem vaguely saw a hidden and extremely ingenious elemental aura.

"If you want to find the Casting Demon Camp, then follow me!" The thin boy's face was full of earth, and his appearance was no different from that of a long-term malnourished homeless boy. However, Greem still saw the huge covered life energy in his body through elemental vision.

As soon as the words were finished, the young man held the curse seal in both hands, and a dense light green rune appeared in his palm. Immediately afterwards, similar flashing runes appeared on the foreheads of all the vagrant villains in the field.

After a few breaths, the boy removed the rune, turned around and left. And those homeless villains fell to the ground one by one and fell into a deep sleep, as if they forgot everything in an instant.

The very primitive way of holding curses and sealing seals seems to be somewhat similar to the means of cursing wizards of certain genres.

But the most important thing is that the slight elemental fluctuations of spellcasting completed by this method of holding spells and seals are almost negligible. Even though Greem was less than 10 meters away from him, it was only through the powerful scanning of the chip that he was able to capture the frequency of his elemental fluctuations.

It seems that the spellcasters in this world can still survive tenaciously under the heavy pressure of the demon hunter knights, and have evolved some interesting little tricks from this.

Greem patted the dust off his hands, followed the thin boy and left the scene quickly.

A loud dragon chant suddenly echoed in the sky above the capital, and the remaining people in the capital immediately hid, and there were no traces of people in the dilapidated streets and alleys.

Countless pairs of angry eyes projected from various hidden places in the city, staring closely at the three green and graceful figures that quickly coiled above the sky.

The boy also hid in a half-collapsed house, observing the movement of the giant dragon in the sky through the gap in the roof. After circling a few times, the three green dragons rushed towards a palace halfway up the mountain again. Soon, the woman's screams and men's angry roars sounded in the distance.

rub rub...

More than a dozen crossbows splashed dazzling sparks on the shiny scales of the leading green dragon, but they did not cause any damage visible to the naked eye.

These three green dragons are obviously young dragons who have just grown up, and their hunting experience is obviously not as good as that of the veteran green dragons a few days ago. Facing the daring counterattack of the reptiles below them, the three young green dragons angrily sprayed out a large cloud of poisonous mist.

Soon, the world will become clean!

Three green dragons rushed into the halls and pavilions, and immediately launched a fierce looting of houses collapsing.

The thin young man silently watched the ugly scene that happened 4 miles away, knowing that he should feel comfortable and happy for the price these powerful people should pay. But for some reason, seeing this scene, his heart was inexplicably filled with pain and anger, as well as a trace of unconcealable sadness!

When he turned his head, he couldn't see the slightest expression of pity and regret on Greem's calm face. Finally, he couldn't help but speak.

"Will you enslave us like a dragon in the future?"
