Chapter 85 84 Why Is She Running?

Chapter 85 84. Why is she running?

Contrary to expectations, the lord of Kais City did know that a marquis with the same title as himself had come to his territory.

However, he did not communicate with Lu Yu to ask him where he came from and where he was going.

On the third day of Kais City's closure, Lu Yu learned a piece of news.

The Star Knights, one of the three major knight orders of the Gran Empire, had sent people to Kais City.

Not only was Kais City in a state of closure, but the lords of several surrounding towns were also afraid of being attacked by dragons and restricted entry and exit. It was because these lords collectively sent letters to the capital that the Star Knights acted so quickly.

The lord was overwhelmed by the dragon's appearance, so he naturally didn't care about the name Lu Yu left behind.

"Such a big commotion?"

Because he was not used to the breakfast in the tavern, Lu Yu simply bought the ingredients and made it himself in the tavern.

Logically speaking, this is a slap in the face of the tavern, but the tavern owner can't do anything about it, after all, Lu Yu revealed himself as a marquis yesterday.

Sigrid whispered: "I don't think a mere knight group can deal with Hogu."

"I asked before, the average combat power of the magicians in the Gran Empire is four to five levels, and there are many knights with the same combat power as the magicians. The top combat power of the empire is a sixth-level wind attribute magician and two crystal-level warriors who are good at close combat."

In Lulutis's words, the overall strength configuration of the Gran Empire is already very good, and it is indeed enough to mobilize all to deal with ordinary dragons.

And this also proves that this area is far richer than the poor and remote area where Yas is located. After all, Yas really has nothing. The average combat power of the magicians fluctuates between the third level, and the highest monster is only the gold level. Hogu is the natural overlord there.

Lu Yu really didn't expect things to develop like this. How long will this dragon disaster without dragons last?

Even the strongest knights of the empire have arrived, which seems to be an attitude that they will not leave until the dragon is killed.

But the problem is that there is a crystal-level tough guy among the people who came to the Star Knights this time. Why should they maintain the city blockade when he is here?

Lulutis said: "This is a fiefdom, the Knights have no right to interfere, stupid."

As Lulutis said, the leader of the Star Knights, Hester, hoped that the lord of Cais City, Felton, would no longer block the city. After all, several towns that had been closed before hearing about the dragon attack have been opened after hearing about the arrival of the Star Knights.

However, Felton rejected Hester's proposal and made it clear that the city must be closed before the dragon disaster threat is lifted.

"This is my right as a lord, and the Knights have no right to interfere."

Felton stopped everyone in the Star Knights with just one sentence.

If other towns lifted the blockade after hearing about the arrival of the Star Knights, it means that they believe in their performance, then Felton clearly does not believe in the Star Knights.

In the mansion of the Lord, Hurst and Felton stared at each other in silence, neither of them giving in.

"The Knights are responsible for destroying the dragon, but they always need information support. Now the Marquis has huddled all the adventurers in the town, and the Knights must search for the dragon alone in the woods and even on the surrounding islands..."

The woman's voice was very soft, like a cool stream, dispersing the anger in Hurst and Felton's hearts.

The chill on Felton's chubby face disappeared, and he looked at Heather with a smile in his eyes.

The woman continued, "Why don't Marquis Felton issue a bounty to the adventurers in the city and ask them to help find the dragon's traces? This way, we can complete His Majesty's mission as soon as possible, and the Marquis can also get peace sooner."

"Ms. Heather is indeed a great magician who is proficient in wind magic, and even her words are as gentle as the breeze." Felton glanced at Hurst's dark face and replied, "For Ms. Heather's sake, I will only close the city for another seven days, and from today on, special passes will be issued to adventurers."

Hurst snorted, ignored etiquette, and turned around and left with his men.

Heather, who was walking at the end, was stopped by Felton.

"My men found a manuscript left by a sixth-level magician in the territory. I wonder if you are interested?"

Heather was stunned for a moment, and a trace of desire appeared on her pretty face, but it was immediately covered by a smile.

"Let's talk about it later." After that, Heather left with the rest of the group.

After all the members of the Knights had left, Felton's steward walked up to him in confusion and asked, "Is it inappropriate for the master to do this?"

"Oh, you also think it's wrong for me to seal the city?"

The steward lowered his head: "I just think that we shouldn't have a conflict with the people of the Star Knights. What they want is not to lift the seal, but face."

"The surrounding lords have given the Star Knights this face. The master insists on sealing the city, which is tantamount to telling everyone that the master does not trust the strength of the Star. Lifting it after seven days is more like a disguised provocation. If the Star cannot find the dragon within seven days and cannot slay the dragon, then they will be ridiculed by the other two major knights."

Felton is fat, and he feels uncomfortable all over after standing for a long time. After sitting down, he sighed comfortably and drank the tea in one gulp.

Seeing that the butler was hunched over and didn't dare to look up at him, Felton waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you know all this, how could I not know it?"

"You don't need to say more, let the people below take care of the supplies, and don't let the incident caused by the mob last winter happen again. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the Knights."

After the butler left, Felton snorted.

If he didn't do this, would the Star Knights stay in Kais City longer?

The dragon's whereabouts are erratic, how can it be so easy to find.

Although His Majesty sent the Knights to help, they will most likely report to His Majesty after they can't find the dragon at all, saying that there is no trace of the dragon and it is very likely to leave.

Felton knows this very well.

Only by using the method of provoking the people of the Star Knights can he rest assured.

After this tossing, the Star Knights will definitely continue to look for the dragon's traces for their own face after seven days, and will not leave until His Majesty recalls them.

And...

If he doesn't do this, how can he create an opportunity to get along with Heather.

He is a sixth-level magician who is not yet thirty years old. Such an outstanding woman has no one she likes so far, and she is busy with the Knights all day long.

If he can create some opportunities to get along with her, cultivate feelings with her and finally succeed, then his status in the empire will definitely rise.

Felton likes the saying that opportunities are created by oneself.

Dragon disasters are bad things, but he can create a favorable situation for himself in it. This is his ability.

Felton, who was getting more and more proud, tapped the table with his fingers and suddenly remembered something.

"..."

"Forget it... leave it alone. I have important things to do. It's just a marquis from another country."

On the fourth day after arriving in Kais City, Lu Yu found that there were fewer people in the tavern after getting up.

Before the city was closed, many adventurers came here to get drunk. After getting drunk, they would open a room and lie down. For them, a day was over.

But today, there are only a few people in the huge tavern, and they are all ordinary residents.

"Boss, why is your business plummeting?" Sigrid was also puzzled.

"It's not that my business has plummeted. It's that the lord issued a bounty last night. Anyone who provides the whereabouts of the dragon will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins. If the Knights succeed in slaying the dragon, the informant will receive a portion of dragon blood."

"Look, the notice was issued late last night, and the lord's guards immediately issued passes to the city gate to allow people to leave the city. Only magicians and people with adventurer identification cards can receive them."

Thanking the boss for the information, Lu Yu ate some breakfast and rushed to the east city gate. He found that there were indeed many adventurers queuing here to receive passes.

When it was Lu Yu's turn, Lulutis on Lu Yu's shoulder attracted the attention of the city gate guards.

"This is my summon."

Hearing this, the guard tested it and found that Lu Yu did have magic power, so he handed the pass to Lu Yu and signaled him to take a good look at the bounty amount.

"As long as the information provided is accurate, you can get rewards even if you don't participate in slaying the dragon. You must watch it carefully!"

The guard pointed at the bounty notice and shouted to the adventurers in line.

This loud voice made Lu Yu's head buzz.

After leaving Kais City, Lu Yu curiously grabbed an adventurer and asked: "Are you really going to look for the traces of the dragon?"

The fine steel adventurer nodded: "Of course, as long as you provide information, you can hope to get a thousand silver coins, and maybe even dragon blood. Where can you find such a good thing?"

As he said, the adventurer patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "You are magicians, right? Why don't we form a team? Don't worry, if there is a reward at that time, we will split it in half!"

Lu Yu politely declined.

After all, the thousand silver coins and the dragon blood are definitely not something that anyone can get.

Except for the two people who stayed in the city to collect the adventurer's information, the rest of the Star Knights went out and looked for the traces of the dragon everywhere.

Heather didn't like to act with a group of people. Most of the time when she joined the Star Knights, she was a lone ranger.

On the way, she also met many adventurers who wanted to team up with her, but she declined them all.

Because most of the Knights were active near the city of Keyes, Heather chose to search east of the city of Keyes.

There were many active monsters in this area, and many adventurers did not dare to go deep, but for Heather, this was not a problem.

A large number of low-level monsters were crushed by the wind blades before they could get close to Heather, and the monsters that broke through to her by numbers were pierced through the body by the protruding spikes on the wind shield before they could attack.

Heather's method of collecting information was very simple. She rushed into the nest of a giant forest spider, found their leader, and asked him if he had seen a dragon.

The giant forest spider had never seen such a fierce human, and more than half of its children were killed in the blink of an eye.

"I have seen it. Just a few days ago, a very large dragon flew over here. We felt his power and all hid. I really don't know any other news!"

The giant forest spider trembled, fearing that it would die on the spot if it was too late.

Most high-level monsters know some human language. After listening to the giant spider in the woods speaking in a strange language, Heather pondered for a moment and put down the wind blade on the giant spider's eyes.

"Can you feel how strong the opponent is?"

"...My child and I are no match for him, that's for sure."

If a gold-level giant spider has this premonition, the opponent must be at least a crystal-level dragon.

A dragon of this strength has never appeared in the surrounding area.

A creature like a dragon can never be rated by its current combat power. If the opponent is crystal-level, then you must be at least one level stronger than him to deal with it safely.

The Gran Empire has no seventh-level magicians or amber-level warriors. If the opponent is really a crystal-level dragon, even if all the members of the Star Knights burst out, they may not be able to keep the opponent.

Heather left the giant spider nest in the forest and walked on the road, with a shadow in her heart growing bigger and bigger.

Where did this dragon come from? What did he intend to do when he passed through the human town?

Why did he just show up and never show up again?

Where is he now?

This is the fear brought by powerful life. They don’t need to do anything, just show up a little, and countless people will be uneasy.

Even if he disappears, this uneasiness will not disappear immediately, but will continue to torment everyone.

Heather is like this now. She hopes that the dragon will show up immediately. Even if he destroys the town and wreaks havoc everywhere, it is better than not being able to hide.

"Who is it!"

In Heather's field of vision, a black shadow flashed by a towering tree in the distance.

Having dealt with monsters for many years, Heather quickly searched for monster information similar to the black shadow in her mind.

Heather bravely walked to the place where the shadow disappeared, and then she saw a horrifying scene.

A human leg was revealed.

The legs kicked in panic, as if they had suffered inhuman torture.

The black fog stretched out countless tentacles to tie up the victim, and it was like a demon surrounded by mist.

Right next to the victim, there was a man and a woman, as well as a strange white mist.

Heather didn't think about it, and immediately swung out the wind blade and chopped it on the tentacles of the black fog.

The imagined scene of the tentacles breaking did not appear, and Heather heard a dull sound of impact.

Heather was stunned for a moment, controlling the flowing wind, condensing it into an invisible battle axe, and chopped it hard at the core of the black fog.

"Bang."

Although the black fog stretched out its tentacles to block it, it was still chopped back by this blow.

After putting on the wind-attributed acceleration magic for herself, Heather dodged and came to the victim who fell to the ground. At a glance, she saw that this person was poisoned.

All this happened within a few seconds. Heather used her speed to the extreme to avoid getting into a chaotic battle.

Wrapping the poisoned person with wind, Heather glanced at the black fog and her heart trembled.

"Intact?" She called out subconsciously.

Even if she didn't use her full strength, this was a blow from a sixth-level magician.

This monster didn't dodge or avoid, and it could even float up after being hit?

No...

The breath of this monster is very strange, as if it has merged with various strange monsters?

"He hit my summoned creature twice without saying a word. Doesn't this magician think he is very rude?"

The man's words made Heather tremble all over. Without thinking, she turned around and ran with the poisoned person.

After Heather ran, Lu Yu and Sigrid were stunned.

"No, why is she running? She ran after hitting someone. She is sick!"
