  Chapter 94 The Shadow of Destruction

  On the wide road, the metal secret dragon strode forward like a Tyrannosaurus rex that was hunting. On its back, An and Guleya were happily looking at the surrounding scenery.

   "Is this the puppet technology of the holy city? It's so interesting!"

   Looking at the scenery in front of her, Ann was very excited. The unhappiness of being forced to throw away the luggage by Duanmu Huai had already dissipated. Of course, Manalia also has similar techniques, but those dolls are shaped by magic in a short period of time. Once the magic power is exhausted, they will return to ashes and dust, so mechanical units like the metal secret dragon are still very attractive to them.

   "We didn't come out to play..."

Looking at the appearance of the two, Duanmuhuai shook his head silently, but it doesn't matter, adventurers who have just left are like this, at least compared to the idiot I saw in Bretonnia, these two are already very good . Considering that they were all born as pampered princesses, being able to be like this is pretty good, as for the rest... let reality teach them.

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at Lorena again.

   "Lorena, you must be in the north."

   "Yes, Lord Knight."

  Lorena, who was praying, opened her eyes and nodded when she heard Duanmuhuai's question.

   "We met many refugees who fled from the north in Manalia. They all said so. There are evil dragons raging in the north, and everyone is afraid to stay outside."

   "I hope we're going the right way."

  Duanmu Huai can only say this. After all, many national boundaries in this era are not clearly divided, and most of them are divided by natural boundaries. For example, the border between the empire and Bretonnia is separated by the gray mountains, but the gray mountains are the territory of the dwarves...

The same is true for Manaria. The northern border is located near the river, but there are many people living on the other side of the river, so strictly speaking, the dragon is already attacking humans, but it has not invaded the core of Manaria. Territory, so it will be regarded as not posing a threat to them for the time being.

  People are always like this, they don’t shed tears when they don’t see the coffin.

   "Mr. Knight, how should we find the evil dragon?"

   At this time, Owen also asked. After all, everyone only knows that Fafna and its evil dragon army are raging in the north, but there is no detailed location coordinates.

   "Well, first of all, we need to find the villages and towns destroyed by the evil dragon, then find the evil dragon army, and then overthrow those stupid big lizards, and then ask them about the location of Fafna, and then determine the route..."

   "Huh? Do you want to be so troublesome?"

  Hearing this, An suddenly cried out.

   "Mr. Knight, you were so decisive in what you said before, I thought you already knew where Fife was!"

   “Adventures are what they are.”

   Duanmu Huai gave An a white look.

"Adventure is often like hunting. You have to look for the traces of the prey, determine its whereabouts, track and find the lair, and then think about **** it. Fafe is not an idiot. If you knew where its lair is, the two countries The United would not be so troublesome."

  That's right, one of the reasons why the joint team couldn't be sure was that although everyone knew that Fafnir was in the north, no one knew the exact location. It was simply unrealistic to search for such a large piece of land in the north by hand. Therefore, even if an adventure team is sent out, they don't know how many years it will take them to find Fafna.

   "It's so troublesome..."

   "If you don't want to, you can go back."

   "Woo..."

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's merciless words, Ann pouted and hugged Guleya.

   "Greya, Mr. Knight bullied me!"

  “…………”

  Looking at the appearance of the two, Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly, but soon, he cast his gaze forward again, and then, Duanmu Huai's eyes froze.

   "There is a small town ahead, let's go and see the situation, maybe we can get some clues."

   "Small town?"

  Hearing this, An hurriedly raised his head and looked forward. I saw a small town in the distance on the horizon.

but……

   "Why is there smoke? Could it be a fire?"

  Hearing An's question in doubt, Owen opened his mouth, wanting to explain something to her, but Duanmuhuai gave him a look, signaling Owen not to talk too much.

   To deal with such a naive and silly girl, it takes realistic beatings to wake her up.

   And when the group finally came to the town, they were all stunned by the scene before them.

  I saw that the small town in front of me had completely turned into a burnt ruin. There were charred, smoking remains of houses everywhere.

Not only that……

   "Too much..."

   Looking at the scene in front of her, An's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and Guleya next to her was also stunned and speechless.

In front of them, there were several charred corpses. These corpses still maintained the appearance before death. Some people could be seen kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, some were running for their lives, and some were trying to protect their children... Of course, in the end, all these All in vain, under the jet of dragon's breath falling from the sky, everything turned into scorched earth.

   "Ojis, Lorena, search to see if there are any survivors."

  Duanmuhuai is used to this kind of scene, after all, he has seen worse than this when dealing with believers of evil gods. So he just calmed down quickly, and ordered Augis and Lorena to search for survivors.

  As for the two princesses... let them calm down here.

   Duanmu Huai was very familiar with searching for survivors. He strode through the wreckage of the town while scanning the life fluctuations around him. According to Duanmuhuai's experience, if there are survivors, they will usually hide in the basement or cellar.

   Sure enough, Duanmu Huai soon discovered a life reaction underground in a wreckage. He walked around the ruins, and then found the door of the cellar—it was covered with all kinds of sundries. If no one found out, it might only be a matter of time before these people died inside.

   "There are survivors here, come and help."

   Duanmu Huai yelled, and then began to clean up the sundries above the cellar door. At this time, other people also rushed over when they heard Duanmu Huai's shout. Soon, Duanmu Huai cleaned up the debris above the cellar door, then opened the door, and signaled Owen and Lorena to go down to check the situation - with his size, he probably couldn't even turn around when he went in.

   "Mr. Knight, what are we going to do?"

  An and Guleya stood by at a loss, not knowing what to do. They must be feeling very uncomfortable now, but they don't know what they can do.

   "Just stay out of the way."

  Duanmuhuai didn't take it seriously, and quickly gave the answer, and the two didn't speak, just stood there obediently.

  After a while, Owen and Lorena walked out with a few people. Among them were men and women, old and young, about four or five of them. Everyone looked haggard and miserable.

"what's the situation?"

   It was not until this time that Duanmuhuai stepped forward to ask Owen, and the latter quickly gave an answer.

   "They are the people who live here. Because the dragons suddenly attacked the town, they had to hide in the cellar in a panic. They planned to wait for the dragon to leave before coming out, so they have been hiding until now."

   "Ask them where the dragons came from, what they know about them, and..."

   Duanmu Huai paused for a moment, looking at the refugees over there.

   "Give them some food and money and let them go."

"………OK."

   Owen had no better way, he could only nod his head, then he returned to the group of survivors again, and started talking to them in a low voice.

   Soon, Duanmuhuai saw one of the little boys looking up at him, and then he quickly ran to his side. looked up at him.

   "Are you going to kill those dragons?"

"this………"

   Facing the little boy's inquiry, An and Guleya were at a loss, while Duanmuhuai just nodded silently, while the little boy lowered his head.

"Please, please, kill all these dragons! They... They destroyed my home, Buck, Mary, and others are all dead! Please avenge them, please Kill all those dragons!"

  “………”

Hearing the little boy's entreaties full of anger and sadness, Gu Leya's face turned ashen and said nothing, and An didn't know what to say. Only Duanmu Huai gave them a meaningful look, and then looked at the girl in front of her. The little boy nodded.

   "Of course, that's what we're here for."

   Then, he spoke.
