Chapter 270: Volcano Dragon
"If we fail, we will count on you, Ms. Ariel, to save us."
In the hotel in Ruth City, Chris stood calmly by the window, maintaining his usual silence.
Byrne looked at the woman sitting at the table, hidden in the red cloak, with a smile on his face and respect in his tone.
Ariel sat there, thinking for a moment, then looked at the two of them and said impatiently:
"Do you have to kill that black dragon? And you insist that you don't need my help in the whole process?"
"Yes."
Byrne nodded insistently.
“Whether it’s the former or the latter, it’s something that our Fisher family insists on.”
Ariel, the "People of the Stars", is an important member of the Roman family. She came to help Chris and Byrne in order to fulfill the covenant between the families.
According to Byrne, the monarch inheritance that Chris received must be through killing to ensure the final promotion.
The target they chose to kill was a black dragon that behaved very strangely. It was a feud of the Fisher family and had killed some people important to Byrne's father Lucius.
revenge.
It is indeed a very classic aristocratic drama.
Ariel didn't want to ask for more specific information, but she just felt that the Fisher family was a bit "stubborn". Decades ago, the grudges of the previous generation could still be remembered to this day, while the Luomen family was... Don’t hold on to past grudges so much.
Their people prefer to look forward.
Of course, among the many noble families, there were actually not a few families like the Fisher family that vowed revenge, so she was not very surprised.
"Okay, if your life is in danger and you need my rescue, just look at me, or notify me in other ways."
Ariel nodded calmly, making her promise.
"As long as the enemy's strength is not far greater than mine, I will come to rescue you no matter what. Of course, if I can't cope with the situation, then I will leave directly first."
After receiving the promise, Byrne bowed deeply sincerely and continued:
"Well, Ms. Ariel, thank you for your help. On behalf of the Fisher family, I would like to thank you in advance."
After years of getting along with her, he knew that although Ariel was irritable and irritable, she also had good qualities, such as keeping her promises and never betraying her.
In a sense, she is indeed immature, but getting along with her makes Byrne more reassured and relaxed.
He took a deep breath and continued: "Next, we need to communicate with the Castleton family to avoid any trouble in the future."
"The famous 'Blood-burning Dragon' family, according to the legend passed down, has dragon blood flowing in their bodies."
——
A few days later, in the largest casino in Ruth City.
"I won, hahaha, I won again!"
The disguised Byrne kept gambling in various casinos. In seven consecutive days, he had won countless money in the Ruth City Casino!
"Haha, who else among you dares to bet with me? Who else? Whoever can beat me can take away all the money I win!"
Byrne, holding a deck of cards in his hand, taunted dozens of times.
"I will never break the promise I just made!"
For seven days, there were hundreds of people in Ruth City, ranging from dignitaries to civilian workers, who challenged him, but no one could win him!
It was definitely impossible to win, because Byrne used his extraordinary power unscrupulously.
There have always been various people who did not believe in evil and came to the casino to gamble with Byrne, but without exception they would lose completely and leave in the end cursing.
Occasionally, someone will lose and want to flip the table, and then they will be asked out by the casino waiters. Violence is prohibited here.
"Who else? A bunch of cowards, hahahahaha!"
Byrne laughed deliberately, but no one around him came over.
Gamblers, you look at me, I look at you, and they look at each other, because those who are unconvinced have basically lost more than once, so everyone has a clear consensus deep in their hearts.
That is, the man in front of me cheated with extraordinary power!
No matter how lucky and skilled a person is, it is impossible to win hundreds of times without losing once.
In this case, the gamblers knew not to offend him, and of course, they didn't want to go up and continue to send money.
It's just that people don't know why. The owner of this big casino obviously prohibits the use of extraordinary powers in the casino, but this time he didn't stop it, but allowed the strange man to behave.
The casino owner is the nephew of a viscount. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be afraid of extraordinary people. Everyone really can't figure out what that guy is.
Not here yet?
Byrne sighed deep in his heart. According to various clues they speculated, the black dragon called "Black Ember" would react to the so-called "evil people".
He is likely to appear suddenly in the neighborhood and force gambling games on those who have committed sins.
I also have Chris, who keeps cheating and gambling in the casino, and who keeps stealing wantonly in the pub. Theoretically, there is a high chance of attracting it.
In fact, they don't even need "Black Ember" to run over and actively start the game, they just need "Black Ember" to hear the sound of wind and approach.
Byrne got the alchemical tools that can sense dragons from the "Dragon Tamer" Aldridge, and before searching for the other party, he had already laid those alchemical tools in many places throughout the city.
If it approaches the surroundings to observe the situation, Byrne will immediately know its location.
At that time, even if "Black Ash" does not want to contact Byrne and Chris, it has no choice!
However, several consecutive days passed, and Byrne and his friends were still in vain. Then they learned the latest intelligence.
"Black Ash" appeared in another nearby city.
The name of that city is Willotair, the largest city in Greenbrook Province, and it is also the residence of the "Burning Blood Dragon" Castleton family.
The Castleton family is also one of the four top families among the eight families of Syat. The head of the family, Rad Castleton, is the "Volcano Dragon" Marquis Rad, who is in the middle position of the monarch.
Marquis Rad inherited the blood power of the very powerful ancient dragon "Burning Dragon".
The Burning Dragon is one of the four dragon kings in the legend of the giant dragons in the world of Krad. It is said that the four ancient dragon kings all possessed powerful power at the level of apocalypse and once ruled the entire world.
It was not until the most powerful king of the dragon clan, the "Sky Dragon", tried to ascend to the throne of God that he was punished by God. The gods made everything fall apart and civilization was reshuffled.
Marquis Rad is one of the four middle-level strong monarchs of Siat. He is very warlike, irritable, cruel and tyrannical.
He is almost a madman and even killed his own son in public during a quarrel!
But some elders said that Marquis Rad was not such a person originally, but he paid a permanent price for using taboo objects and his personality changed completely.
In addition to King Siat, Duke Black Iron and Marquis Rad, the last middle-level extraordinary noble of the Siat Kingdom is the head of the family, the "Mist Walker" Abernathy family, the head of the family, the "White Spirit".
That was a very mysterious person who always acted alone and rarely appeared in recent years. The last time the "White Spirit" appeared in front of everyone was during the Rhea War.
In order to continue tracking the traces of "Black Ash", they quickly rushed to Willotair again.
The two continued to attract "Black Ash" according to the previous ideas.
"How long do we have to continue looking? I'll give you another ten days."
Ariel was already a little irritated.
If Chris was not about to break through the monarch level and had a huge impact on the change of the power structure, she, as a monarch of the Roman family, followed two qualitatively transformed extraordinary people running around, which was too much of a loss of status.
For several consecutive days, Byrne still found nothing and did not find the figure of "Black Ash" at all.
However, today he had an "unexpected gain".
On this day, Byrne, who had just arrived at the casino, found that it had become empty, and a middle-aged man with a resolute face was waiting for him here.
"You, are you from the Fisher family?"
The middle-aged man in front of him was wearing a robe, and the black and red fabric was gleaming faintly in the sun.
His face was full of frost, and there was a kind of tyranny hidden in his weathered eyes, giving people a feeling of a beast that they dare not approach. His expression was very firm, as if it was full of countless stories.
The middle-aged man stood with his shoulders straight, as if he was carrying a heavy responsibility, and at the same time, his words revealed an unshakable determination.
For some reason, the next moment Byrne even had a fear of death.
He realized it immediately!
The middle-aged man in front of him was definitely a very powerful extraordinary!
"Excuse me, who are you? I am indeed from the Fisher family, Byrne Fisher."
Byrne nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and his tone revealed undisguised respect. In fact, deep in his heart, he could basically guess who he met.
In fact, when he came to this city, he already had a hunch that he would meet some big figures from the Castleton family.
He even prepared a plan to tell Chris and Ariel what to do if they encounter someone from the Castleton family.
"I am Rad Castleton, the patriarch of the Burning Blood Dragon family."
Marquis Rad casually introduced himself, slowly sat down, and said arrogantly:
"Fisherman, I heard that you are looking for a black dragon nearby, but in fact you are just wasting your time. You are probably looking for something that does not exist at all."
"Something that does not exist?" Byrne frowned tightly. He also felt that the situation of the black dragon was very special.
Marquis Rad stared at him with a very oppressive look, and then continued.
"The legend about 'Black Ashes' involves a powerful forbidden wonder."
