Ada’s words somehow made both Shaar and the pitiful creature broke out in cold sweat. The indifference in this guy’s expression was naturally revealed and it made those two a bit frightened in their hearts.

It left a deep impression on Shaar: This Ada seemed like a cold hearted villain who would eat people without leaving any bones!

While looking at Shaar, the pitiful creature was pondering how to persuade him to cancel the dragon hunt. From the very beginning, she was not optimistic about this adventure’s risks. If she had a choice, she surely wouldn’t follow this hillbilly here right now.

According to this mystical Ada’s expression, no matter how they go forward, it would always be a dead end.

“How is it?” Ada’s handsome face made a strange expression while his mouth sneered full of mockery: “Do you also want to look for that dragon? Need me to guide you?”

“Shaar!” The pitiful creature quickly yelled and stared at Shaar with a serious look: “Don’t go!!”

Shaar did not speak.

“Please, don’t go!” The pitiful creature said in a soft tone and pleaded with some gentle words: “If several magicians are no match for it, then we have certainly no chance. There is no way we can win – although the buried treasure is tempting, our lives are more important. I promise you, if you need money, I will pay you a large reward when we are back!”

“……” Shaar stayed silent for a little while, but the little hesitation in his eyes soon dissipated and was replaced by a firmness: “We go and have a look!”

“You!?” The pitiful creature was dumbstruck: “Did you go mad?”

“Of course not.” Shaar curled his lip: “I know that our lives are more important. However, since we are already arrived here, if we just turn back now I would regret it forever. We will just go, have a look and we don’t need to approach it. Let’s have a look at the situation first and then decide……Perhaps those magicians have succeeded. None of us saw that they are actually dead.

When Ada looked at Shaar’s determination, he did not try to convince him otherwise and his mouth hinted a satisfying smile: “Alright, I will lead you there……However, before we go, I have a condition.”

“What?” Shaar looked at this guy full of suspicion.

“You came here for the dragon’s buried treasure, right?” Ada mentioned: “If we have the chance to find it……These buried treasures are all yours. However, as a reward for being your guide, I want a single thing in the dragon’s lair.”

Hearing this, Shaar sneered discontentedly: “Hey, Ada, do not forget that you are my soso now! You eat my food, put on is my jackal skin and even your life was rescued by me! What qualifications do you have to negotiate a condition with me?”

Listening to the answer, Ada unexpectedly did not object and glanced at Shaar. He suddenly sighed and shook his head: “What a pity, that is a really unfortunate……”

Finishing his sentence, he started to ignore Shaar and walked slowly to the pit and pulled off the jackal skin from his waist – this movement shocked the pitiful creature and she screamed while quickly turning her head away while closing her eyes.

With a plop, Ada jumped into the pit and only his head was still exposed outside. Looking up at Shaar, he calmly said: “Come on.”

“Eh?” Shaar’s mouth dropped open

“Since you can’t agree to it, then it’s better to bury me again and pretend that you never saved me.” Ada’s voice was very calm, but his face showed some disdain: “Looking at you three, the wounds on your body and your crude luggage, you surely must had suffered many hardships to arrive here. Hmm ……You could try to find the place without my directions. Anyway, these mountains are not too big, if you guys start searching mountain after mountain, it would probably only take about three to five years. Perhaps with a bit of luck, you can actually find it.”

Shaar silently stared at this guy and was speechless. Their eyes looked at each other for a long time and while Shaar’s eyes were full of anger, Ada’s eyes were always calm and clear. After a long period of time, Shaar finally gave up and discontentedly and shook his head: “Alright, alright! I give up. There are actually some people on this world that would voluntarily request to bury them alive…… In any case my goal is the treasure and I am not interested in other things.”

When Ada heard Shaar’s reply, he finally crawled out from the pit and put on the jackal skin – Shaar silently whispered happily in his heart: Although this guy was a tiny bit more handsome than me, his little brother down there was a bit smaller than mine, ha! The old man said, as long as a man was well equipped down there, it would even make ugly men popular!

(The old man continued to laugh in hell……)

With the new companion Ada joining them, the group continued to move toward the mountains.

“Hey, since we are companions now, you could share some information with us now. For example, how does the dragon looks like?”

Ada was walking in front of Shaar and he seemed to be familiar with the terrain here. Therefore, he was currently leading the group in this mountain. Hearing Shaar asking, his tempo slightly slowed down and turned his head while knitting his eyebrow to look at Shaar: “You don’t know anything about this dragon and came here to seek the buried treasure?”

“……I don’t have any information about it.” Shaar replied very honestly.

“Ah.” Ada sighed and looked Shaar with a pitiful look: “I somehow sympathize with you right now. Was the money so appealing? You don’t even know the strength of the dragon and dare to come here?”

“Even if I know it’s strength, would there be a difference?” Shaar replied with confidence and smiled leisurely: “I know that there are both strong and weak dragons. However, I also know the limits of my own abilities – Even if we meet the smallest and weakest dragon, I still won’t be able to beat it. In this case, whether if dragon was strong or weak, does it have any fart to do with me? My idea was to seize the opportunity to get the treasure and I don’t plan to become a dragon slaying hero.”

“Dragon slaying hero.” When Ada heard this word his eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule: “You might be a bit short on that. The human dragonslayers I know were the strongest warriors on the continent. And you? A novice young warrior?”

Shaar’s temper had never been affected by those taunts in his life. He tightened his belt and snorted: “I am a novice, so what. Or were you born with public hair?”

Ada’s expression suddenly became very excited. He looked at Shaar with a weird look and simply turned his head to ignore this thick skinned person.

After walking for sometime, he decided to give them some information while walking at the front.

“That dragon is an earth type and an adult female. It excels in earth magic and has amazing physical attack and defense abilities according to human standards. If it had to be said, the earth type dragons are slightly weaker against water type magic. However, those magicians I ran into, none of them used water type magic. Therefore, I am sure that they are dead by now.”

Hearing this, Shaar immediately got excited: “That ……I heard that the dragon seemed to be in a weak condition, what is it about?”

Ada replied with a gentle voice: “It seems that you are not completely ignorant – that dragon is blind.”

……

Along the way, Ada did not bother to chitchat with Shaar anymore. This guy’s character was very strange. In fact, whenever he spoke, his tone was very tactful and he even occasionally showed a smile on his face. However, both Shaar and the pitiful creature felt that Ada radiated a cutting gaze even when he smiled, as if those razor-sharp pair of eyes would see through a human’s soul!

Moreover, they always felt that Ada’s behaviour seemed to have an unusual aura of a totally natural noble pride.

This kind of noble and prideful manner was not something that he did deliberately. His every word and deeds casually exuded a kind of instinctive atmosphere. Although he did not act arrogantly, his leisurely appearance, gave people the impression that he did not care about anything.

Did he really not care about anything? Or……did he simply grasped everything around him already?

Casting all those things aside, at least Ada did not lie about one thing.
