The Dragon of Gluttony starts from the hell plane

What is the first thing to do in the morning when work is about to begin?

Boss, get another bottle of wine.

The coachman named [John] said this. He was drinking so early in the morning and was rubbing his stubble.

The tavern downstairs seemed quite cold in the early morning. There were almost no customers, and there was only a dwarf owner cleaning the wine glasses.

The dwarf boss, who had orange-red hair of the same color and a braided beard, frowned at him.

Originally, according to the dwarf's temper, he should have ridiculed the other party's drinking capacity...

Of course, ridicule itself is not the purpose. In fact, the main purpose is to persuade the other party to drink less, so as not to crash into a tree and die.

But the boss had been here for a long time, so he didn't bother to say anything more to the human drunkard, but turned around and got a beer.

Beer sold in bottles is more expensive than sold in separate bottles.

But for an alcoholic...it makes no difference.

After watching the coachman stagger away, the dwarf boss saw a female mage walking down carrying a bag.

Without saying hello to him, he left in a hurry.

There are a lot of hard-working people today. It is rare to see people getting up so early... But since he is a mage with a dragon, there will naturally be something special about it.

In this thought, the dwarf boss continued to clean the wine glass, and then looked at the calendar as if he remembered something.

Ah, it's almost time. I heard them say...the brave man was born this year. I never thought that one day he would...

While talking to himself, muttering something, he took out a hanging painting from under the counter and hung it on top of his wine cabinet.

The painting depicts a blazing fire, with a sword entwined in the flames.

A weapon to save the world...ah, I still don't know who the brave is, and I still don't know whether the brave is reliable...

The dwarf boss was obviously a little emotional, but soon... his emotions subsided.

Because the waitress who attracted the attention of the drunkards last night walked next to him, and the beautiful human sister took a look at the hanging painting.

Well, I haven't seen the [Hearthfire] sign for a long time.

The human eldest sister said this. She was obviously a waitress, but now she seemed to have a higher status than the dwarf boss.

Yeah, haha... The hero is born, and our fire has to start busy immediately. It's great!

The dwarf boss said, but his face was full of reluctance. He asked the human eldest sister and said: So what does Her Royal Highness say? Contact person.

In response, the eldest sister, who was called the [Contact Person], shook her head: There are no instructions from the eldest princess... but there are some changes in heaven and hell.

Looking at the dwarves waiting for the next step, this tall human continued: Everyone who is waiting for the fire has arrived, and it's not too late to talk together.

Is it so appetizing? !

——————————

La la la~ la la~ la la la...

The carriage driver hummed the song casually, and amid the disgusted expressions of others, he staggered to the place where his carriage was parked.

Then he simply poured the drink into the front of the carriage...

Then he fell asleep.

...

Such a scene left Belsi and his party hiding in the distance speechless... How long will they sleep?

Go pick up this batch of [goods] quickly, you bastard!

Also, the song I sang just now was so ugly. It felt three times worse than the song [Gold Coin Gold Coin Gold Coin~] that the mage girl sang before!

However, the three ignorant people still worry too much.

Because after a while, another carriage drove up next to the carriage driver named [John], and a slightly younger man got out.

Old John! Old John wake up!!!

The young man pushed and woke John up, and then sent the iron cages covered with black cloth from the back of his carriage to Old John's carriage.

Obviously, this is a handover.

And during this process, the yelling and crying coming from those black cloth cages were obviously slaves.

It seems that the target is correct.

Belsi lowered his voice and spoke softly. He distinguished the voices and said, But why are they all female slaves?

Although it seemed to be said yesterday that these slaves are very good at beating.

[Brother Belxi, didn’t you hear clearly yesterday? These slaves were sent to the main city to be played with by the nobles... They were all women no matter what. 】

In response to Semu Nananoshima, Bersi lowered her head, retracted into her backpack, and said: I thought only some of them were female... Third sister, get out of the city quickly.

At Bel Xi's reminder, the mage girl left Beigang City first.

After all, in terms of speed, the mage girl couldn't keep up with the carriage, so she had to go to a less conspicuous place first.

Then I followed the carriage all the way until it reached an inaccessible place...

Take decisive action again!

Soon, Belsi arrived at a place with few passers-by. After flying up with Nanami Semu and the mage girl, he saw the carriage slowly leaving the city.

There are four adventurers who feel good about us as escorts.

The mage girl reminded her as she peered at the young adventurers who were sitting on the top of the carriage and looking around with clear division of labor.

I just don't know the specific strength and occupation.

The mage girl who said this looked a little pity and said: Otherwise, we can make a more targeted layout and interception.

[Two warriors, one of the second level, one of the fourth level, a first level magician, and a second level ranger. 】

!!!

In the brief shock, the mage girl quickly calmed down, and she asked: Can the system master even do this?

Belxi didn't pay attention to the mage girl's surprise. He frowned slightly: A fourth-level warrior... it's a bit difficult to handle.

Before, they had not even challenged the existence of the third level. So far, Belsi and Semu Nananoshima were both first level.

In other words, do you want to fight beyond the third level?

Even for an ordinary [Protagonist], fighting across levels is commonplace, but to cross three levels in one breath... isn't it a bit too much?

[The rock troll is close to the third level... However, the fourth level warriors are indeed very troublesome and seem to be a tough opponent. 】

Well...it's really troublesome.

Even the mage girl said this, but her eyes were fixed on the adventurer who was holding nothing in his hand, and said: That woman is the mage, right?

[Yeah, speaking of it...why are all the mages we meet female? Can't men be mage? 】

That’s it! Can this society get better? When will male humans be able to become noble human masters...

I forgot about it later, but I was so angry!

Ah, most colleges are on vacation now. It is normal to meet mages. As for why they are all women...

The mage girl hesitated for a moment, and then said with some confusion: That so-and-so's brother before, the one we beat to death... Since I said he was my classmate, he must be the male mage, right?

Ah, it seems so, then it’ll be fine...

It turns out that we ourselves are the ones persecuting male mages.

Belsi thought so as he moved quickly in the surrounding jungle, looking at the carriages on the main road and the bustling passers-by.

He suddenly became interested in topics like magic.

Can I go to school? Learn magic or something.

Regarding Bel Xi's words, Nananoshima Semu quickly gave a reply: [Don't dragons learn by themselves according to their age? Become a human or something. 】

What I mean is that if I learn the spell myself, then at least I will become a dragon, which is a bit far away... although I have no interest in turning into a human form.

Belch said this as he walked through the branches in the forest with a lightness that was not in line with his body shape: After all, with my current body, I can do everything I should.

[Elaborate on dry]

...

The mage girl almost understood what Bel Xi meant. She hugged Bel Xi's neck, lowered her head and felt the leaves brushing against her back: I guess the academy won't accept it, cough cough... but there is still a way. ~”

His tone suddenly became tense?

If you are a creature contracted by a mage, you can still audit the course. Hmm... how about it?

The abacus beads are beating loudly.

Ah, I don't mind.

Bel Xi said this, glanced at [Guhehe] who was smiling, and added: Then I will talk to Sebu Belia later.

...

Nananoshima Semu: [Guhehehe~]

Now, it was Semu who was smiling.

No, no, no, that's not what I meant... Oops...

The mage girl explained anxiously. She rolled her eyes and pouted, thinking about what to say, but in the end she could only lie down pitifully.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuancyn is my eldest brother clearly understands how to bully people~”

Lying on her stomach, she pretended to cry, pretending that she was just a bastard fish.

Huh haha... I do know what you want to say, Third Sister, but we'd better talk about it later. Now let's imagine how to deal with the fourth-level enemies.

Belxi couldn't help but chuckle and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the carriage speeding on the uninhabited mountain road.

It's almost time to take action, but the fourth-level warrior... is a bit deadly.

Do we need to confront each other head-on?

The mage girl made such a suggestion. She looked at Brother Belsi under her and hesitated: Do you have to rob? Is it okay to steal?

The mage girl who said this blinked her eyes and asked: Or, Brother Belxi and Second Sister Semu, what obsession do you have with [rob]?

[How can you have such obsession? ! 】

That's right! We are not professional robbers!

That would be easy.

It's not that the mage girl is bragging, but she has to say... In fact, her mind is very flexible, which is completely different from those rigid traditional mages.

You can also use all kinds of magic skillfully!

People give nicknames——

【The King of College Ideas! 】

…

Belsey: People give nicknames? Who gives them?

Mage Girl: Myself! Because no one will give me a nickname.

Nananoshima Semu: [Hahaha! ! Why do you sound so proud? Isn’t it a bit too tacky? 】

——————————

Yawn, what a peaceful escort mission...

A man dressed as a warrior said this. He lay on the top of the carriage and said, Aren't there any bandits blocking the way?

In response to this, another warrior who looked more mature smiled boldly: Hahahaha!! Young adventurers are indeed energetic...

Only adventurers who have just started adventuring will hope to encounter robbers, bandits, monsters and the like after a few years of wandering.

I will start praying that everything will be safe along the way.

Even if you are idle to the point of going crazy, it is still better than encountering an accident...

It is precisely because of this that adventurers sometimes choose commissions that do not seem dangerous.

For example, this escort mission...

It's not important to say it's important. It's just a gift of toys from a few nobles. No one will be interested. It's important to say it's not important...

So the reward is quite generous.

The price/performance ratio is extremely high.

I'd rather nothing happen along the way.

The ranger in the team said this. With a bow and arrow on his back, he looked at the taciturn magician and asked, What's wrong?

Although she usually doesn't talk much, today she didn't say a word...it seemed a bit abnormal.

Well, ugh...it's nothing.

The elf magician sighed, looked at the carriage under his butt with some pity, and said, Although, you guys can probably understand?

It's okay if you understand...

After all, the one being escorted this time was a member of the same clan as the elf magicians in the team, so it was normal to feel a little sad.

However, this certainly does not prevent them from making commissions normally...

The elf magician just sighed a little. Everyone knew this, so they didn't take it to heart.

Understand, understand~

Hahaha……

We are different. If a human slave was beaten to death in front of us, we would not blink an eye.

Are your eyes dry?

...

The companions were laughing and joking, but the ranger was always a little uneasy. He pulled up the green mask on his face and looked around cautiously.

So strange... I always feel a little flustered.

With this in mind, he looked at the coachman in front of the carriage, who was drinking and driving his horse... Is it really okay?

Although the ranger knows that Old John has been a deliveryman who has been delivering goods for decades, but drinking and driving like this... is it really okay?

The ranger asked himself this twice in his mind. After confirming it, he cautiously looked down from the skylight on the roof of the car...

The elves were all lifeless in the iron cage, seemingly motionless.

The sense of crisis in my heart does not seem to come from them...

call……

The ranger took a deep breath and closed his eyes gently. He felt that he was thinking too much...it was obviously not advisable to scare himself.

what are you doing?

Haha, are you motion sick? I didn't notice it before...

...

While his companions were joking, the ranger opened his eyes helplessly, glanced at them a few times, and responded: Have you fainted? I don't know who's intuition you relied on to save the day in the previous missions? But this time it seems...

The ranger who said this moved his gaze from a distance to his companions, but...then he suddenly realized that he noticed something abnormal with his peripheral vision.

etc!!!

Amid the roar, the ranger looked in the direction of the coachman... At this moment, the place where Old John should have been was now empty.

Then, several almost invisible black whips swept from the direction of the carriage, decapitating the two frightened horses.

The blood immediately splashed like a fountain.

(M: We are innocent!!!)

(Nanashima Semu: You are not, because you are uncle’s horse.)

…

If there is a situation, be on alert immediately!!

When the ranger shouted this, the carriage, which had lost its horses and driver, deviated from the main road and tipped straight into the forests on both sides.

During the roll, the most agile ranger stood up as quickly as possible, and immediately saw the carriage that had tipped to the side and crushed some small trees.

His companion also fell not far away...

Everyone, are you not injured?

The ranger shouted, and his companions quickly waved their hands to indicate that nothing happened to them.

He did not immediately go to help his companions, but looked around vigilantly...

The dense and silent forest composed of Derui trees with many tubes and branches seemed to hide the enemy they just saw in its depths.

Long black whips... poked out of the carriage.

Be careful with the carriage! Enemies may be hiding in...

After shouting this, the ranger immediately looked in the direction of the carriage, and at that moment, before he could finish his words.

A terrifying darkness instantly enveloped him.

This was a kind of darkness that encompassed all parts of his field of vision, as if he had entered a room where he could not see his fingers, or...

Is he blind? !

Before he reached out to touch, the equally panicked voice of the elf mage came from her direction: It's a dark spell, be careful to protect yourself! Protect me too, I'll try to offset it with lighting!

Darkness is naturally a type of magic. After being released, the mage can create a circular area centered on himself.

Creatures shrouded in this area, except the mage himself, cannot see things in this area. For the same reason...

Creatures outside this area can only see a black circle with different ranges when looking over it, but cannot see what is inside.

Even some races with [Dark Vision] cannot do it.

The chanting illumination spell illuminates this area.

In addition, you can also use the priest's dispersion spell, drink the potion that touches the dark state, or leave the area and put AOE around you to try to kill the caster.

Of course, the most common method is to wait for the spell duration to end, because generally speaking... dark elements are not so obedient spells.

So it won't last too long.

Almost as soon as the Elf Mage finished chanting the [Magic Shield] to protect himself and was about to start chanting the [Illumination Technique]...

The darkness in front of everyone's eyes disappeared instantly.

Very quickly, they relied on their professionalism to quickly gather together, and then panted and alerted the surroundings.

Everyone is ready to fight.

...

...

However, after a long time, there was no attack.

No...that [Darkness Technique] is not over yet.

The Elf Mage noticed something. She captured a black sphere that was moving in the distance... moving away from them.

The ranger discovered more things. He saw the trees and grass that were crushed by the carriage, but he did not see the carriage.

I also saw empty and clean roads.

This is of course extremely abnormal...because a few moments ago, there should have been a horse's body there.

The carriage...disappeared in just a few breaths?

A soldier who also discovered this asked rhetorically. He looked at the black area that was rapidly leaving in the distance... How should I say it?

His knowledge did not allow him to think about how this was done.

The duration and range of the dark spell... are so terrifying.

The elf mage couldn't help but say this, her eyes were a little frightened, and she said: That is a power that can only be possessed by at least a fifth-level mage.

Level 5? !

Hearing this judgment, everyone couldn't help but shudder... With that kind of existence, it would be too easy to kill them.

Everyone's hair stood on end, realizing that they had just walked through the gate of hell.

Huh...fortunately, the other party seems to be coming for the elf slaves and has no intention of killing us.

The most mature-looking warrior said happily as he stood on the spotless avenue, as if nothing had happened.

Illuminated by the sun, he once again lamented the rest of his life.

Hahaha! I escaped another disaster!!

With such a big laugh, he looked at the other newcomers who looked very scared. He greeted them helplessly: Hey! Don't look like this!

It only counts as long as you survive! To become an adventurer, you must be prepared to die at any time!

Even though he said this, everyone still looked a little dazed...

Even though they had encountered danger several times before, this was the first time they felt that they were so close to death.

Sigh, today's adventurers have such a poor mental endurance...

This fourth-level warrior was so emotional that he couldn't help but say: I really don't know what will happen to this world and its destined future when you reach the fifth and sixth levels...

...

...

The soldier realized that he had spilled the beans and immediately shut his mouth... Well, actually, he was a little scared, so much so that he didn't say anything out loud.

Huh? Captain, what do you want to say? The world's destined... future?

To the other soldier who answered the call, the mature soldier scratched his head and said, Nothing, nothing.

Then, he warned sternly.

Anyway, after we go back, just report what we saw to the Adventurers Association truthfully! No need to say any more.

...

yes!

Oh, I see.

OK.

...

...

Even so, the ranger felt that he had not heard wrongly what he just heard...

The captain said [the world is destined for the future], what is that?

At the fifth or sixth level...

Will you know?
