Chapter 76 (1/2)

Ray and Steele strongly supported Sui Xiong’s order.
Ray had long been looking forward to becoming a dragon slayer. When he was a boy, he often dreamed of holding a shield with a carved pattern of a dragon head and wearing an armor of dragon scales, riding a famous horse that was bathed in the blood of a dragon while entering the city gate with numerous people looking at him. He would publicly show the head of the evil dragon, and win countless praise and worship.
Although with the passage of time even if he became a dragon slayer, he would not return home with much wealth; however, at the thought of being able to contribute to the great task of slaying an evil dragon, he could not help but get excited and be determined to try.
If Sui Xiong knew his thoughts, he would certainly match him with the classic Hua Xiong’s words,”My big ax is already hungry!”
Steele’s idea was different. As a sexologist keen on studying the physiological structures of various male demon beasts, she had always regretted not studying the physiology of dragons. This time by participating in the dragon slaying, she at least had half of a chance of encountering a male dragon, so it could make up for her regret.
Thinking of finally being able to study it well, she could not help having shining eyes and laughed in a low voice.
Looking at the two subordinates who seemed inexplicably excited, Sui thought for a moment and said, “Do you think there is any misunderstanding about this?”
“Misunderstanding?” Ray was stunned for a moment and asked in doubt, “What misunderstanding?”
“What I mean is that we may have misunderstood about dragons attacking villages and eating elves. I know several dragons, but even for the one with the worst character, l may believe rumors that it kills people and burns things, but I really do not believe that it eats people.”
“There are good and evil dragons, and what Your Majesty knows are probably good dragons,” said Steele.
“Dragons from a good camp are very rare, and more common ones are from the evil camp and neutral camp,” Ray said. “But even the dragons from the evil camp will behave themselves in front of Your Majesty. Perhaps this is why your impression of the dragons is good.”
“But!” His tone changed dramatically and became serious, “Respecting the strong does not mean respecting the weak. It is very rare to see a strongman like you who communicates mildly with the weak. Even in the same race, fearing the strong and bullying the weak is certainly the case, not to mention when different races are involved. For most people, the giant dragon exists as a natural disaster. It is on the top of all the monsters, and it’s the most terrible monster!”
“But that giant dragon might not be evil,” Sui said. “We should go find it and communicate with it first.”
“But do you know where it is?” Ray asked unconsciously. He could not help laughing. Asking a god this question was just stupid.
So Sui Xiong cast a prophecy spell, wanting to find where the red dragon was, but his spell seemed to be disturbed by something, and he couldn’t get an accurate result.
“The giant dragons are generally rich, and they themselves are powerful casters. Using the prophecy magic to deal with them is very difficult to do even for you,” Ray advised. “Let’s wait and set off after the dragon slaying group is assembled.”
Sui Xiong stubbornly shook his head, for he still wanted to go see the dragon and check it out.
When Sui Xiong’s stubbornness persisted, Ray and Steele could find no solution. Helplessly, the two could only separately help him inquire about the dragon’s dwelling place.
This time, the two went out and hadn’t returned for a long time.
Ray did not come back until dinnertime, and he regrettably told Sui Xiong that he had found nothing. The dragon’s dwelling place was a mysterious secret. In order to prevent people from going there in secret and alerting the dragon, the information would only be announced when the team actually set off.
Steele had returned at midnight. Clearly she had just taken a shower, but she still seemed very tired and no one knew what she really did during this time.
“I’ve found out clearly,” Steele did not mention her own experience at all, but laughed tiredly and revealed what she had inquired, “that the dragon lives in an underground volcano to the west. An ordinary caravan would find a canyon with a stream after walking westwards for half a month. If people follow the water downstream, they can find a volcano at the end of the stream and the evil dragon is living in a crater. The captured elves are confined in an underground forest at the source of the stream.”
Sui Xiong nodded. Examining her look of exhaustion, he could not help but show anger in his eyes.
“They actually do such a thing?! Go! We must punish them!”
Others might not be able to see it, but Sui Xiong had personally reshaped Steele’s body and understood her situation at first glance. Over the past few hours she had used many healing spells on herself which led to magical overdrafts, so she was tired.
Why did she need to use so many spells of healing? Only one could imagine!
If she had not been a half Holy Spirit with a strong physique and magic of healing, she would already have died.
“No, no,” Steele shook her head, rejecting Sui’s advice. “It was just a fair trade, and we made an agreement in advance. They did what they wanted, and I found out what I wanted to know. So it was fair and reasonable.”
