Chapter 729 Obstacles

Members of the prospecting team are also considered soldiers in a sense.

The team members who died on the expedition are like the soldiers who died on the battlefield. The nameplate is the most important relic of the deceased. According to the convention, it should be returned to the family of the deceased as a memorial.

Audrey's proposal is upright and reasonable.

In this situation, facing Audrey's scorching gaze, Evelyn still insisted on her own opinion.

"Your thoughts are very noble, respectable Miss Zion, but I have to remind you that dwarves are not a noble race!"

"This group of dwarfs are not only hot-tempered, stubborn and arrogant, but most of them are suspicious, greedy and selfish by nature!"

"If we take the initiative to go to the dwarves, it will inevitably arouse their suspicion, thinking that we are competitors for the right to discover the mineral veins, and I am afraid they will not treat us well!"

Audrey frowned and looked back at Joan.

"We are indeed shouldering the mission of finding mineral veins. It is not wrong to say that we are competitors of the dwarf prospecting team."

Joan told the truth.

Audrey nodded, and cast a consulting look at her younger brother and Hyrule.

Hailaer hesitated between the two options of "doing business" and "avoiding competitors".

Holden unequivocally sided with Evelyn, thinking that her concerns were justified.

"If the dwarves are really as narrow-minded and hostile as Evelyn said, why should we ask for trouble? It's better to avoid them."

"One thing more is worse than one thing less", this is also the principle that Qiao An has always adhered to.

Audrey thought about it and finally made a decision.

"Okay, goodbye dwarf, let's go another way!"

Hearing her words, Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief, as if an invisible burden had been lifted, and her expression returned to normal.

Leaving the ruins of the camp of the dwarf prospecting team, a group of five rode on the ground lizard and continued on their way.

The mountains ahead gradually become rugged, and there are no ready-made roads for passage in many places, so we have to trek on the rocky slopes.

The unique toe structure of the ground lizard can still run like flying in this harsh terrain, which provides great convenience for explorers riding on the back of the lizard.

After crossing a rocky pit, the hillside in front of them rose suddenly, and a cliff almost perpendicular to the ground blocked them in front of them.

Ground lizards can climb up cliffs by themselves, but considering the heavy load of passengers and luggage on their backs, they can barely survive a short distance crawling against the wall.

Ordinary travelers, if they want to climb over this thousand-foot-high cliff, have to bear the huge risk of falling off the cliff.

But for the caster, this is just a small trouble, and there is no need to work hard at all.

In Joan's team, five people have the ability to leap over cliffs, but the flying methods are different.

Both Hailar and Evelyn have mastered the third-level "flying spell". During the effective period of the spell, they can fly up to the top of the cliff calmly.

In fact they did.

After the spell was cast, a pair of translucent wings of the atmosphere appeared behind Hyrule and Evelyn, which lifted them up into the sky, and disappeared on the dark cliff top in a short time.

Holden rubbed the red copper ring in his hand, and a wild magic power was stimulated from his body, followed by a pair of dark red dragon wings rising from behind, fluttering into the air.

Joan looked up to see Holden's figure flying away in the air, and he was secretly surprised by the pair of red dragon wings with metallic luster.

It was the second time he'd seen Holden fly in such flamboyant fashion.

When he, Holden, and Hyrule took a boat to the port of Midgard, they were chased by pirates on the way.

In the battle with the pirates, Holden also transformed into a pair of dragon wings and flew across the sea to the pirate ship.

At that time, Joan thought that Holden's dragon wings were created by some kind of arcane technique, but seeing the pair of dragon wings again now, his thoughts changed completely.

When Holden showed the pair of dragon wings, the distribution of magic nets in the surrounding space changed abnormally.

However, Joann didn't recognize the stable spell configuration, but vaguely saw some nodes and vortexes formed by the magic mesh threads on Holden's body. Isn't this the characteristic of the "magic mark"?

From this point of view, Holden's dragon wings are not an arcane creation, but more like his own supernatural ability.

An ordinary human being can never have supernatural abilities.

Joan suspects that Holden has dragon blood, but it is not convenient to inquire about such a personal privacy issue.

Now, Joan and Audrey were left at the bottom of the cliff.

Joan blesses himself with a 2-ring "Transformation Technique" and holds a feather of the Jotunheim Hawkman in his hand.

Before becoming Hawkman, he first asked Audrey how he planned to fly up the thousand-foot cliff.

"I haven't comprehended any flying spells yet, but I have signed a contract with a celestial flying horse named 'Lafayette'. If necessary, I can summon her and fly me to the top of the cliff."

Audrey hesitated to speak, with a hesitant expression.

Audrey participated in this underground adventure as a "Paladin". But Joan is very clear that she is not the same as the mainstream paladins like George Vasa, and belongs to the branch of paladins, "Blue Knight".

The biggest feature of "Blue Knight" is that it can sign a contract with a Pegasus, and can ride the Pegasus to travel in the sky.

The Pegasus that signed the contract with Audrey has the blood of the heavens, and it is smarter and better at fighting than ordinary Pegasus, which is what she calls "Pegasus".

But for some reason, Joann never saw her summon this Pegasus horse named "Lafayette".

"It seems that you don't really want to summon that Pegasus?" Joan asked tentatively.

Audrey nodded and replied with a wry smile:

"Lafayette is like a squeamish young lady, very picky about her living environment. She likes to fly under a clear and open sky, with sunshine and white clouds, and doesn't like gloomy and dark places."

"The underground world we're in right now is the environment Lafayette hates the most. If you summon her here by force, you will definitely lose your temper."

Is it so personal?

Joan rubbed the back of her head, it was really hard to associate a delicate young lady with the image of a horse.

"Tianma is indeed not suitable for activities in dark areas with complex environments. You don't need to summon her. I will become a hawk and fly to the top of the cliff with you on my back."

Joan chanted the mantra, and the feather in his hand burst into golden light. In an instant, he changed from a skinny human boy to a tall and mighty eagle man.

"Then I will trouble you."

Audrey smiled and thanked, then chanted the spell, put away the enchanted armor she was wearing, walked around behind Joan in only her unlined clothes, and patted him on the back.

Joan knelt down and waited for a few seconds. Her Royal Highness's arms came around from behind and wrapped around his neck. Immediately afterwards, a warm and soft body was pressed against him.
