Chapter 553 - 296: Battle of the Three Dragons (Part 1)_2

"It’s a tumultuous season, I heard it seems to be the people from the Black Fist Army?"

"Yes, I heard it too."

Obviously, the stronger the adventurers, the better their understanding of the situation.

Lower-level adventurers know very little about the conditions of the warring parties, but at the Black Iron Level, they have some understanding of the inside information.

Third floor.

At this moment, there are about a dozen Bronze Level adventurers in the public lounge area, chatting in small groups.

At the counter, there are three female receptionists in black aprons, whispering to each other.

"Liya, your master hasn’t been here for a while, right?" one slightly older receptionist asked.

"Yes, Lord Raine is quite busy, he’s probably still over in the Iron Hills." Liya nodded.

"What about your performance this month? Seems like you’re still a bit short? Otherwise, the bonus will be significantly reduced." Another receptionist said.

"Oh, Liya, your master is here!" The receptionist suddenly had a look of surprise and delight.

"Hmm?"

Liya looked up and saw Raine’s familiar figure coming up from the staircase. She immediately stood up and straightened her collar and sleeves.

"Lord Raine, you’re back. Is there anything I can assist you with?"

"Liya, long time no see." Raine smiled and nodded, handing over a Level 1 kingdom medal given by Leonore, "I’d like to inquire about some intelligence."

"Sure, what would you like to know? Hmm? Is that...?" Seeing the kingdom level 1 medal, Liya’s eyes widened slightly, and she immediately thought of something, respectfully received it.

Soon after, she quickly compared it with an album behind the counter, and then said with delight, "Lord Raine, according to the agreement between the association and the Soladin Kingdom, you now enjoy the treatment of a Silver Level adventurer."

"Yes, I’d like to inquire about the dragon bounty."

"Dragon? Are you referring to a dragon like the White Dragon?" Liya was a bit unsure and specifically mentioned the weakest among the Five-Color Dragons as an example.

Upon hearing Raine’s inquiry, the other two receptionists beside Liya exchanged glances and gasped silently.

Just having seen Raine take out the Soladin Kingdom’s Level 1 medal, they were amazed at how someone so young could earn such recognition from the kingdom.

But little did they know, the content of his inquiry was even more astonishing.

After all, this is a dragon!

"Yes." Raine nodded.

"Okay, please hold on, I’ll check for you." After a brief slip, Liya regained her professional composure as a receptionist and quickly started searching. Soon, Liya said with delight, "Found it, I’ll read it for you."

"Alright, thank you."

"[Task ID]: Astana Kingdom No.017

[Type]: Bounty

[Reward]: 100,000 Gold Coins

[Task Description]: The female Green Dragon Fytherian (Mature Dragon) is active at the border between the Natis Elf Kingdom and the Astana Kingdom (exact location unknown), corrupting vast forests and hundreds of surrounding villages. Additionally, she has instigated disputes among human nobles, elves, and beast herds, and occasionally sends minions to plunder caravans, wantonly killing travelers.

[Completion Proof]: Fytherian’s head or corpse.

[Time Limit]: 1 month.

(Note: Recommended for adventurer parties of Silver Level 3 or individuals of equivalent strength to accept.)"

"Located in Astana Kingdom?"

Seeing the location, Raine couldn’t help but frown.

The task target being one of the Five-Color Dragons, the Green Dragon, seemed quite suitable.

But the problem is, he has never been to the Astana Kingdom, naturally he can’t use teleportation to instantly arrive, and as the southernmost country of the United Northern Continent, it is near the center of the continent.

Even riding a griffin, it would take at least three days from Dorne City.

Plus the time needed to locate the specific residence, kill the powerful minion leaders...

It’s unlikely to be completed in a short time.

"Is this the only dragon bounty task? What about surrounding areas near the kingdom?"

"Lord Raine, there are others...but both are ancient dragon level, like the ’Lord of Scorched Scale’ ancient Red Dragon Flyg. Um...According to association regulations, for safety reasons, only recommended for Golden Level adventurers to accept." Liya said with a troubled expression.

"Ancient dragon?" Raine suddenly realized.

The ancient dragon level, even the weakest White Dragon among the Five-Color Dragons, has firmly entered at least legendary level.

Not to mention the top of the Five-Color Dragons, the Red Dragon.

The strength likely reaches the late stages of legendary.

This clearly isn’t something he can currently handle.

"Wait? Please hold on, I just received the latest bounty from the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, also about dragons." Suddenly, Liya’s eyes opened wide, surprised to see some information displayed behind the counter, she quickly informed Raine.

"Hmm?"

"Yes, Lord Raine, did you forget that you have the friendship medal issued by the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Raine suddenly recalled something.

"Is it a Blue Dragon?"

"Not just a Blue Dragon, let me read the specifics for you."

...

Meanwhile.

Bornberry.

In the second floor study of Marquis Gareth’s castle.

Lilith lowered her head, anxiously waiting beside ’Plague Messenger’ White Mann, who was calming his breath after consuming a potion.

"Lilith, you should go to Winterless City yourself and accept punishment from the Black Hand Tribunal." White Mann opened his eyes, glanced at Lilith, and said solemnly.

Upon hearing the Black Hand Tribunal, Lilith’s beautiful face turned pale, she looked up in panic at White Mann and hurriedly said:

"Lord, please hear me out, I... I’m not avoiding battle, I was just trying to find Raine’s weakness, so the attack spells weren’t strong."

White Mann naturally didn’t believe Lilith’s nonsense, with a ’show me what you’ve got’ look, he silently observed her.

"That’s truly the case, Lord!" Lilith quickly explained.

"Since the disastrous defeat in Warwick City last time, I’ve been pondering why this Raine has such strong resistance to magic. At first, I suspected it was due to magic equipment."

"But upon closer thought, unless it’s a divine artifact, how could it be possible to continuously resist the damage effects of several high-tier spells over a period of time?"

Originally holding the attitude of ’let’s hear your excuses’, White Mann showed a thoughtful expression upon hearing this, after a while he gestured:

"Carry on, if what you say next makes sense, I can waive your punishment this time."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord." Upon hearing this, Lilith was overjoyed.

"Then, while you were fighting, I quietly conducted a test on the side. In order not to attract Raine’s attention, I used spells that did not exceed Third Level."

"Test?"

"Yes, Lord, because previously when Yejiya and Siegfried fought against Raine, they mostly used Erosion Magic, besides that, Lord Siegfried also cast Lightning Spell."

"The final result was nearly ineffective."

"But this time, I experimented with Ice Blade Spell, Burning Hand, and Fireball Technique."

"Oh? Ice Spell and Fire Spell?" White Mann raised an eyebrow, immediately asked, "What were the results?"

"Ice Blade Spell had no effect, Burning Hand seemed to have a little effect, but possibly due to being a First Level Spell, the effect wasn’t great, as for Fireball Technique, I found it seemed the most effective."

"You’re suggesting that this Raine’s weakness is Fire Spell?" White Mann pondered, inquired.

"Yes, compared to Erosion and Lightning, at least the resistance to Fire Spell is not that high, as for any others, I’m not sure yet."

White Mann asked again, "Why didn’t you try other spells that time?"

"Um... at that time I intended to continue experimenting, but Lord you changed the battle strategy." Lilith awkwardly smiled.

Changed the battle strategy?

White Mann immediately understood what Lilith was referring to.

It meant the time when he chose to leave the top floor of the castle, retreating to the square.

"So, have I wronged you?"

"No, no, it’s subordinate’s failure to promptly identify Raine’s weakness and failure to report immediately..."

Glancing at this ’high emotional intelligence’ subordinate, White Mann contemplated for a moment, then said: "You may go rest now. You’ve done well on this matter."

"Thank you, Sir."

After Lilith left, White Mann turned to look out the window, deep in thought, after a moment, he subtly muttered to himself: "The weakness is Fire Spell?"

"Looks like I need to invite the Red Dragon Mage Felmer over."
