Colorado Mountain Range.

Morrigan quickly found the temporary campsite of the Beastmen.

“Look, they were here recently…The ashes in the bonfire are still warm. They couldn’t have left more than half a day ago.” Morrigan took some ashes out and then picked up a broken bone with meat on it.

“Look, this is the thigh of a goat. There’s blood on it; it’s not cooked at all. The Beastmen shattered the bone with their teeth…I bet these barbarians can bite my arm off!”

Felina couldn’t stand his overreaction. “Any Warrior can do that,” she said in annoyance. “I need to know where they are right now.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Morrigan was still wandering around the simple campsite. As he wandered, he said, “Pursuing is detailed work. Not only do we need to know where they went, but we also need to know how many there are and how powerful they are.”

As he spoke, he would sometimes get onto the ground to observe the footprints. Other times, he would put a magnifying glass to the claw marks on the tree, or pick up some hair. He was looking very closely.

Felina couldn’t do anything other than wait patiently. Link had some free time too.

Ten minutes later, Morrigan was done. He stood up and said very confidently, “There were 18 Beastmen and one Dragon Warrior here.”

Felina was shocked. “A Dragon Warrior? Do you have evidence for the conclusion?”

If there was a dragon with these wild Beastmen, there could only be one explanation—the Dragon Warrior was also a follower of Isendilan.

“Of course I have evidence. Look at this footprint. It’s similar to yours, right? But it’s bigger. And look at these bones. They’re rabbit bones and weren’t chewed. When the person was eating, he also wrapped it with clean leaves to avoid the grease. This means the Dragon Warrior has the highest status because he’s the most exquisite.

“Also, look here. This urine is special too. I tasted it earlier, and it’s slightly spicy. Once I swallowed, my stomach felt warm. This is similar to the dragon urine I tasted before. Look, the footprints beside the urine shows that he was standing so the Dragon Warrior must be male. He’s around 6’8” tall and 260 pounds.”

Morrigan uttered all of this evidence. It was shocking, especially the last one.

“Alright,” Felina said awkwardly. “I believe you, but why are you randomly tasting urine?”

Not feeling that anything was wrong, Morrigan answered seriously, “You don’t understand. The urine of dragons is actually a tonic, used specifically for…uh, never mind. Anyway, I’m a professional, so I can’t be wrong.”

To help with the awkward atmosphere, Link said, “Okay so what direction did they go in?”

“Follow me. They went that way, which is the direction of the High Elf Tomb. To be honest, I suspect they’re going grave robbing!”

Hearing this, Felina lost her temper. “Shut up!” she yelled. “That’s impossible! A dragon won’t rob a grave!”

“Fine, but they’re going in that direction.” Morrigan glanced at Link.

However, Link was delighted. He was actually quite interested in the High Elf Tomb. Not only did it contain a huge amount of wealth, but there was also a magic spell book inside.

In the previous game, the High Elf Tomb was one of the storyline quests. The full name was “High Elf Tomb: Lebreslynan.” After killing the final boss in this quest, Lebreslynan’s undying spirit would drop an enchantment book called Talismanography.

Talismanography enchantments were lost in Firuman. Even the High Elves only knew a little bit about it. It was not very impressive amongst advanced enchantments, but it was irreplaceable in the average enchantment field.

Its strongest effect was spell inscribing.

As long as a Magician created an enchantment talisman and had prepared the necessary materials, the spell inscribing effect could be used to create identical talismans in a short period.

With this technique, Link would be able to lower the cost of basic enchantment equipment by 90% or even more. At the very least, he could give all the guards in his territory magic equipment…Anyway, he just really wanted to visit Lebreslynan.

However, the dragons hated grave robbers. If Link went against them, Felina might even see him as an enemy. But now, the situation had changed.

“We’ll see what happened if we follow,” he said to Felina. “Let’s go.”

Felina glared at Morrigan and nodded in agreement. She wanted to know what the Dragon Warrior was planning too.

After that, Morrigan paused often while walking to follow the tracks on the ground. Around two hours later, he suddenly stopped and hid behind a bush.

“Careful, the tracks here are very fresh. They were probably just here.” Morrigan pointed at a piece of grass that had been stepped on. The liquid on it was still wet.

Link and the others also lowered to the ground and hid. Morrigan lowered his voice and continued, “Look over there. Do you see the statue covered with moss?”
