Chapter 695 – New Quest (2/2)

My contract with her was only for a few days, but it seems that Zi Shu still hadn’t changed her greeting. She was actually calling me Master even without our contract. Seeing her, I said “One doesn’t visit a temple for no reason, you must be here for something right?”

Zi Shu grinned, “Master truly is clever… I’ve been sensing a strong power while I was in Dragon City and so I came here. I never would have thought that you were here too. But I do have something for you. Lady Frost is looking for you.”

“Oh? Why?”

“She didn’t say. She just told me to bring you back to Dragon City.”

“Ok, let’s go then!”

Zi Shu dove down and grabbed my arm in one swoop. She smiled, “You walk too slowly, I’ll fly you over!”

……

Helpless, I put the little tiger and the Flying Scythe War Horse back into the pet space. The wind whistled past my ear as we flew straight towards Dragon City.

After a few minutes, we reached the sky above Dragon City. As we descended, we entered right to the center of the city.

On the way, there were several Dragon City soldiers training in the small military grounds of Dragon City. These days, Frost has recruited quite a few elite warriors across the continent to boost Dragon City’s battle power. On top of that, she seemed to be teaching the warriors the ancient techniques that were buried in the tomes of Dragon City. In order to hold off the Hybrid Demons, Frost has been exerting every bit of effort.

Zi Shu seemed to guess what I was worried about. She smiled, “Master, right now, Dragon City already has over ten thousand citizens. Of them, 5000 are Dragon City warriors. Laborers, chefs and shippers constitute the other 5000. Even if the Hybrid Demons were to attack again, at least we have some kind of force to defend.

I nodded, “Where is Frost?”

“She’s in the Commander’s Hall.”

“Ok.”

After Dragon City was rebuilt, the old King’s Hall that Luo Lin had once ruled from was also rebuilt. Now it was named the Commander's Hall. The great doors were heavily guarded. When the enormous doors were pushed open, there appeared two large sand tables placed in the great hall. Small flags representing the Hybrid Demon forces were scattered around the tables. There was another enormous desk next to it that was covered with flags that represented the three kingdoms, Tian Ling City, Ba Huang City and Dragon City. Frost was sitting at that desk, pouring over a lambskin map.

“Lady Frost, master is here!” Zi Shu announced.

Frost looked up. The moment she saw me, a light flashed in her eyes. Her beautiful face seemed to have thinned quite a bit. She smiled, “Li Xiao Yao, you’re finally here….”

I smiled, “What’s wrong… you miss me?”

Frost blushed but she couldn’t resist saying, “There are some things that we can only talk about in private. Let’s talk business then….”

“Ok.”

Frost left the desk and leaned against the edge of the sand table, “Three days ago, a wave weak of Hybrid Demons launched a series of attacks against Dragon City. They were pushed back by me. However, they ambushed us in the middle of the night again. That time, Sword Spirit Dragon Riders appeared. One type was a flight type. They could reach an altitude of 500 meters. They threw large boulders, and smashed quite a few of the machines we had on the border of the wall. They were five hundred meters in the air, so none of our archers could reach them. This was something that made Zi Shu and I feel very helpless. Zi Shu is after all by herself.. I can’t allow her to go against so many Sword Spirit Dragon Riders on her own.”

Zi Shu grunted, “Lady, it really isn’t anything big. Those insects can’t kill me!”

“Even so….”

Frost looked at me and said, “Li Xiao Yao, do you know what I want to say?”

I nodded with a smile, “Dragon City right now needs true Dragon Riders to hold off those flying type Hybrid Demons like the Sword Spirit Dragon Riders!”

Frost smiled, “Yup, I was thinking the same. And so.. I want you to go with me. We’ll go complete a not so honorable task. We must keep it a secret….”

I glared at her and unhappily said, “Do you want me to follow you to the Wild Dragon Territory to steal some Dragon Eggs?”

Frost pouted her lip, “Wu, I really can’t keep anything from you….”
