The Defeated Dragon

“Treasure? ”

Lester gets agitated as soon as he hears.

"What treasure is it? ”

“My lord, a sailing route on an island, I discovered a cave not far from the pier on the test voyage of the Flower, containing human remains. Upon examination, it was found that it was a horse trafficker rat, trapped in a cave and killed, who left the horse trafficker's place on that island before dying! ”

A horse dealer?

Lester quickly reminisced of the smoke mission - the trail of the Dragon Horses.

He gave up his intention to continue studying the new magic of Jensen and immediately said: "Take me to the cave, I will personally investigate!” In preparation for his departure, he took the opportunity to summon a smoke mission and discovered that it had changed.

“Complete the task and reward the trail of the Dragon Horses. ”

“Task: The Warcraft has been cleared, Flower Town has never been so safe. As a lord, it is time to make a big effort to achieve the cross-cutting development of Flower Town and destroy the environment. Please push the thorn forest. Reward: Variant thorn. ”

The demon beast is completely cleansed.

The Thornworm Chain mission is back on.

Lester thinks it's a really celebratory day, and we're just missing the giraffe chirping in the branches. And soon, he understood how the mission was accomplished —— coming from Sean the Knight, with a dead Shadow Snake, to the castle. This Shadow Snake bit three serfs.

“The logging scene was chaotic at one time, but under the repression of adults such as Mr. Marcus and Counsellor Gorte, serfs were engaged in logging.” Sean reported the scene.

Burning fire did not scare the Shadow Snake away.

It raided three serial serfs and was eventually killed by Marcus with a bow and arrow, after which the serfs panicked and, despite being suppressed, the efficiency of their work became volatile.

“Shane, tell Teacher Marcus to continue to strengthen the protection of the logging team.” Despite the fact that the beast has been cleared, Lester was unable to tell anyone clearly, but could only continue to strengthen his protection, "he told Counsellor Gaultai, adding that the deceased serf gave his family ten silver coins. ”

At this time, silver coins are the best comfort and the best way to stimulate serfs to work hard - more persuasive than any threat or encouragement.

“Yes, my lord!” Sean took the lead.

Lester wears his own Warcraft Leather Armor, carries Thomas, a personal servant, and is notified that Rom Barrel, the Lord, who comes to serve as a chaperone, cannot go out without chaperone.

“My lord, you can actually reach the cave by land, but you need to cross the mountains and climb a steep overhang. The most convenient ride on the Flower. ”

Costó bowed down to Lester to salute him and began to direct the departure of the Flower.

Anchoring, paddling, sailing.

Turn around, sail slowly at sea, had a voyage, juvenile sailors, performs reasonably well, much faster than before, only took about twenty minutes to get near the cave. Drop the canoe, Costó takes Lester and others into the cave.

The cave is humid and almost flat with the rising sea surface, so it can be thrust into the water from time to time by waves.

But it's drier.

It was the afternoon, when the sun had crossed the mountains, and the sun was no longer shining in, and the cave seemed a little dark. Thomas will light the candlelight fixtures that were prepared long ago to add light to the cave.

“My lord, there is a wreckage of a small boat here, and depending on its shape, it should be a pick-up boat carried on a large boat. It was constantly washed by the sea water, leaving only a few planks.” Costó flipped the wreckage of the boat and the wreckage broke directly and the wood chips scattered all over the ground.

Then he walked up to a couple of white bones: "A total of three human remains, which I checked, were still intact and did not lose much bone. They carry weapons, bone swords, very hard bones, but not knight swords, so they're supposed to be a bunch of rats. ”

Knight, as the name implies, is a horse rider.

Knights are the main force of war, the formation of armies, wars between lords, wars between knights. However, not all those who practice fighting have chosen to become knights - knights are a product of the aristocratic system, and some still choose to remain outside the aristocratic system.

These are the smugglers, the marginalized, the despicable.

They disobey the Lord's control, do nothing to produce, are free to scatter, and engage in industries that run counter to the nobility system - theft, robbery, smuggling, pimping, or accepting employment, assassination, slave trafficking, etc.

These people, naturally referred to as -- mice.

But they call themselves Rangers.

“Rats?” Lester wasn't too touched, he was not stranger to mice, and working with Reeves on his own slave trade was necessary to work with mice.

The nobility denounced and demeaned the group as rats, without preventing them from cooperating with the rats. After all, there are a lot of dirty moves. If nobility can't handle themselves, they need mice to show up. Pirates from the Grand Duchy of Sapphires are also rats - basically noblemen disguised.

Or so.

Rats are another skin of the aristocracy - ordinary people don't have that much nutrition to cultivate fighting, and only the aristocracy can raise rats.

Lester thinks the Tulip family, too, have their own rats.

As Count's second son, he has no right to know.

“Is there anything more to save that shows their identity?” Lister took a bone sword and asked.

This bone sword should be a skeletal forging of the Warcraft, with a more curved shape, distinct from the Knight's sword's length, and better suited for close rangers.

Nature's prolonged corrosion has long left bone swords devoid of any trace of magic.

“Their clothes and packages have decayed long ago, and the tide here is so great that they cannot be preserved at all. Only these snakes engraved on the wall, keep them.” Costó pointed to the cave wall and said.

Thomas approached the candlelight fixture.

Illuminate the serpent on the wall of the hole.

The serpentine has been blurred and divided into two major segments, which can only recognize parts.

“I was seriously injured, dying, Sweet Ghost... eyeliner, Green Light, sunken, took the horse, but he underestimated me, killed me. □ Can't get out □ □ □, □ □ □ steep, horse... the letter on your back, you can come. ”

“Jun □ □ □ Island □ nautical chart... my family, tell Molly □ that I love her - Caspar Iron □. ”

Among them, "□” is that the text of a single serpent cannot be seen clearly, while “…” is that of a whole series of serpents cannot be seen clearly.

Even Mongolia can barely guess what these two paragraphs say.

Lester thought about it for a moment and figured out a little bit —— there was an insider in the horse dealer, apparently called Sweet, who sank a big boat and tried to take the horse away. As a result, Nekaspar killed back, but Kaspar was badly injured, sent away the horse before he died, and tied a letter to his back.

Then left a nautical chart.

Against the reward given by the Smoke Mission, Lester has understood: “Obviously, these rats, who found the island where the Dragon Horses live, are supposed to be rats working for the Tulip family… My Dragon Horse, the horse that Caspar sent away! ”

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at a nautical chart next to the serpent.

The nautical chart was engraved very deeply, apparently with great vigour when Caspar engraved it. Even if the serpent next to it is about to corrode, the nautical chart remains clear.
