"Why did you remember to participate in this war?" After the meeting was disbanded, Erica pulled Diana in a quiet corner and asked: "Aren't you going on vacation?"

"I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but..." Diana leaned sideways in Erica's arms and said lazily: "Some favors always have to be repaid..."

"Oh, I understand." Erica kissed Diana's forehead gently, then hugged her slender waist and said, "Let's go back to the city first. I want to take a bath first and then have a good meal."

Go into the mountains to investigate. Damn it, I still don’t want to go to those deep mountains and old forests to do any adventure activities. Of course, if I usually have such thoughts, I am really too tired now and really want to go to the hotel.

Have a good sleep... By the way, how is the hotel you are staying in? Does it have a bathroom? "

"Of course, and it feels pretty good." Diana responded to Erica, then pulled her along and said, "Actually, I don't think you need to be so anxious about Dragon's Tomb."

"Why?" Erica asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that the cemetery is very dangerous?"

"Absolutely." Diana thought for a while and then continued: "Although the so-called Dragon's Tomb is nominally the cemetery of the dragon clan, it is actually not just a big pit."

"Oh, Aurora explained this to me. I heard that the dragon corpses in the cemetery will not rot or deteriorate..." Erica stretched her head and looked at the window while passing by.

The carriage in the fortress courtyard said: "The rotten dragon claw has only been rotten for a few days, but Aurora said that the owner of the original version of the dragon claw has been dead for at least hundreds of years."

"Almost, because after death, the soul of a giant dragon will not enter the underworld like a mortal. The dragon itself is the product of the interference of gods with divine power, so the dragon is essentially different from ordinary dragon species.

, so it will not be included in the cycle of life, but after death, the soul will directly turn into nothingness and return to the origin of the world. But the problem is that the huge power contained in the souls of the dragons will not be so easy in a short period of time.

Dissipated, so under the influence of this extraordinary powerful and uncontrollable force, the so-called Dragon's Tomb was born." Diana also stood at the edge of the window and looked at the dragon claw below, which was still being watched by a large number of people.

: "The so-called Dragon Tomb actually refers to the place where the dragon fell, and this place does not necessarily refer to the tomb in the dragon's territory."

"Oh... that means there is not only one Dragon's Tomb in the world, right?" Erica shrugged and said, "It scared me to death. When I heard that there was a Dragon's Tomb nearby, I thought it was a dragon's.

The lair is nearby. By the way, that claw..."

"That rotten claw is not the body of the crystal dragon. It should be a first-level descendant of the crystal dragon. However, because it has been immersed in the dragon's tomb of the crystal dragon for many years, it has an aura similar to that of a dragon...

..." Diana said lightly.

"Huh? Did we get a fake?" Erica smacked her lips in dissatisfaction and asked, "How come Eve couldn't tell the difference? Isn't she a magician? Puffy also admitted her mistake, and even Selanie

you……"

"It doesn't matter whether this one is a magician or not. Both Eve and Puffy just sensed the breath of the crystal dragon, so they think so. As for Selenir, the reason is a bit complicated, not to mention that she is still very...

She is young, and she has not been in contact with many of her own race, so there is nothing wrong with her cognitive bias." Diana looked at Aurora who had walked to the courtyard and Selenir in her arms and then

Said: "Actually, Selenir did not completely admit his mistake, because that claw is the remains of a female crystal dragon, and if I am not mistaken, this crystal dragon should be the spouse of a certain crystal dragon. Basically, she

The only difference between it and a real dragon is that it does not have a godhead."

"Godhead...?" Erica shook her head helplessly and said, "It makes no sense at all...Forget it, it's not my turn to worry about this matter anyway. But what do you mean by what you just said about not being so anxious?

"

"I mean there's no need to be in such a hurry to find the Dragon Tomb that exists in the northern mountains. And I guess even if you go there, you won't be able to find its traces in a short time." Diana turned her head slightly,

He turned his attention to Agnes in the courtyard and said: "In my opinion, it is more appropriate for 'full-time personnel' to do this. After all, you are also the Chosen One, so you still have certain rights in certain things."

Rights' exist."

"Full-time staff?" Erica looked at Diana with a confused face and asked, "Who? Ruby? Or are you looking for Savina?"

"Although Ruby is fine, she is still an outsider after all. Forget it, Master Severna. Don't bother her with this little thing." Diana pointed at Agnes who was talking to Liz and Puffy in the courtyard.

Said: "Didn't you ask about the 'wolf god' before?"

"It?!" Erica suddenly remembered the things she had asked Ruby about some time ago and muttered: "Wolm Torre, that nature elf? Is it related to the local Dragon Tomb?"

"I dare not say for sure, but it is almost certain. You must know that there are always traces of the birth of natural elves. This represents the origin of the world and cannot split its own power for no reason to give birth to natural elves. Except for things like

Outside of specific areas such as the 'Elf Hometown' or the 'World Border', natural elves are often born with a certain mission before they appear in the world." Diana turned around and pulled Erica towards the courtyard.

Walked over and said: "When I first heard you talking about the Tomb of the Dragon, I made a little estimate of the time. The birth time of the Tomb of the Dragon seemed to be closer to the birth time of Volm Torre, and Volm Torre was born.

Torre's true intention of seeking the soul guard should also have something to do with Dragon's Tomb."

"Gravekeeper?" Erica thought of this title instantly.

"I'm not sure." Diana shook her head and said, "Rather than guessing here, it's better to ask it directly."

"Don't we still have to go into the mountain?" Erica pestered Diana and said, "You said before that you don't need to go in. Is there any way to be lazy?"

"Of course." Diana took Erica's hand and walked into the courtyard and said, "Just call it over."

At this time, there were more and more people in the courtyard. Most of them came to watch the Dragon Claw and Erica's GAZ armored vehicle. After all, these two things were new to everyone. But apart from watching

In addition to the lively people, there were even more guards arranged by Count Persim, because the dragon claw was to be temporarily stored on Adrian's side, and Master Alberon and his alchemists were still there.

It needs to be studied. Of course, Erica also knows that how much of the dragon claw will be left after their "research is completed" is another matter.

However, Erica doesn't particularly care about the value of this dragon claw, because after all, this thing is a trophy captured by Gia. In theory, it belongs to Chris, so if the alchemists want to keep it for themselves, they probably have to

Consider how much compensation is appropriate to pay Chris.

Adrian naturally wanted to come over and get a share of the pie, but he was not doing it for the value of the dragon bone but wanted to carefully study its practical use. After all, the enemy was probably using the dragon bone to strengthen their spell magic, so he wanted to break it.

The enemy needs to at least have a little understanding of the function of the keel.

Besides, the encirclement network against the enemy has just begun. When Erica and the others came back, the wolf regiment and the tiger regiment had just merged. Together with Giya's prairie cavalry, the three forces needed to attack from the west of the plain within a few days.

It would be enough to strangle all the way to the place where the rear side is exposed, but this road cannot be accomplished by driving directly and spending an entire afternoon like Erica and the others.

After all, this operation to outflank the enemy's back route was to cut off the enemy's forces in front of the Salanka Pass, which meant that they might also be outflanked and annihilated by the enemy, so whether it was Danil of the Tiger Regiment or the Wolf

The Carolines of the regiment will not rush over from the west recklessly. Instead, they need to carefully and slowly invade the plain strongholds and countryside occupied by the enemy together with the counterattack on the southern front.

Regarding Adrian's counterattack, Erica believed that the prince would have prepared countermeasures if he was not stupid, but the problem was that the devil knew what he would do. Based on the various things the prince did during the war

Judging from his deeds, there is no guarantee that he would be so anxious as to have his magicians create another "zombie crisis". Moreover, the opponent now has a large number of dragon bones as spell amplification, so even Ellie

Kadu doesn't intend to stay on the front line and wander around. The wisest choice at this time is to huddle in the safe rear and watch the changes on the front line. Moreover, Erica herself also has urgent "own" work to deal with.

Being a mercenary to make extra money is just a personal hobby. The escalating "keel theft case" is Erica's top priority as the chosen one at the moment. After all, as this matter progresses, the problem becomes more and more serious.

It was getting bigger, so Erica also felt that if the magicians were allowed to do whatever they wanted, Severna would probably take action himself, or that Severna would send other gods or servants to deal with it.

Things will definitely get very serious at that time, and if that happens, Erica estimates that she will be held responsible for dereliction of duty and her salary will be deducted.

However, although this idea is a joke, in fact the real situation should be more cruel. However, this so-called cruelty naturally refers to the result of the direct intervention of the gods. After all, the gods do not care whether mortals are innocent, so Severna

In order to solve the trouble, it is very possible to directly choose to annihilate the tens of thousands of Aledo's troops. This kind of indiscriminate killing is not the result Erica wants to see, but unfortunately, Diana expressed this terrible

The result is indeed very likely to happen.

It doesn't matter to the gods that the magicians defiled the dragon bones, because ordinary dragons are no different from wild beasts in the eyes of gods or even giant dragons, but if the dragon's bones are involved, then the problem is another matter.

.After all, Erica has no evidence at the moment that the remains of the granary dragon found in Ronan Castle have any direct relationship with the conspirators' conjurers, but according to the results of the prisoners' torture, she learned that they

There should be no dragon bones in their hands, and there are even some things that clearly feel like they are not ordinary dragon bones. So in other words, the magicians do have this suspicion.

But the problem is that it is obviously impossible to dig the Dragon's Tomb with their strength alone. In addition, coupled with the zombie crisis caused by the cult in the central region, it is not difficult to think that there is some connection between the magician and the cult.

It was too deep, so it was very possible that Severna would regard them as sinners and then erase them from the world indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, Erica is inevitably a little confused, because she really hates these enemy magicians who use "biochemical weapons", but is she crazy enough to accept that kind of indiscriminate killing? After all, Erica's morality

The bottom line has not been completely eliminated. Of course, she will not complain about Severna's ruthlessness or other nonsense. After all, Severna is not a human being. Although she treats herself very warmly, it does not mean that she treats everyone in the same way. Severna is

The creator god of this world has no morals or ethics in the eyes of mortals, so she can create everything she wants and destroy everything she wants. After all, she has the right to be so willful.

Erica sat in the driver's seat and thought thoughtfully about how to deal with this matter. At the same time, she subconsciously poked the angle of the rearview mirror with her finger because she saw Count Adrian talking to Afu.

Laura chatted, but Erica observed that his face was not as frivolous as she imagined, but instead very serious, as if he was talking about serious business.

They were not too close to the armored vehicle, and there was some noise around them, so Erica couldn't hear what they were saying, but in the end, Aurora's business smile made Erica know about Mr. Earl.

In the end, it definitely didn't work out as she wished, and for some reason Erica felt a little lucky.

Aurora bowed politely to Adrian and then walked over without looking back. Looking at the back of Count Cerro leaving with a disappointed look on his face, Erica felt a little happy again.

"What were you talking about just now?" Erica asked quickly when Avrola got in the car.

"Nothing." Aurora obviously didn't care at first. Then she saw Erica with a slightly serious expression through the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "He wants to hire some magicians from Algasburg, and he also

He tried to invite me or other magicians to give lectures in Ravensburg, and offered very generous rewards."

"Oh..." Erica didn't think that Aurora was lying, so when she heard these contents, she immediately lost interest. She just started the engine and asked casually: "You rejected it? How did you say it?"

"I said, 'I am not a mercenary, and Argasburg is not a mercenary group.'" Avrola nonchalantly picked up Serenir who was eating snacks again, and then fed her affectionately with her thoughts.

.

"This rejection sounds very hurtful..." Erica's words were not dealt with casually. In fact, she did feel a little unfair for Adrian in her heart, but only for a moment.

Just as Erica and her group were driving towards Mary Castle, at the northern gate of the Kasan Pass, a lady dressed in traveling attire had just stepped out of the gate of the pass on horseback.

After leaving the city, the woman reined in the reins on the spot, then slightly raised her hood and glanced at the flat Baal Plain in front of her and the gentle road that extended to the end of the horizon, and finally locked her sights on the tall pine fortress building in the distance.

superior.

The person who came was none other than Morana, the matron of the Shadow Assassins, but her face was significantly different at this moment from the past. It was obvious that she had successfully passed the Kasan Pass after some disguise. But the destination in her heart could be

Not Aledo's side, because there has been no reply from Aledo since the last time she got a letter from Aledo, so in Morana's heart, it is inevitable that there is a gap between the two parties. Morana feels that at this time, too

It was indeed not appropriate to return to Aledo right away. After all, she had already learned that Aledo had failed to capture Castel Maria some time ago, and at the moment he was traveling west of Castel Maria with Adrien.

An fierce battle, so she felt that it would be more appropriate for her to go back and show her face when the battle situation changes.

"Tonight... let's go and stay at Mariaburg..." Morana sighed softly and muttered casually: "I wonder if I will meet any acquaintances there at this time?"

"Ms. Alea, the goods have passed the checkpoint." At this time, a woman dressed as a businessman came over and greeted Morana.

This person is Morana's bodyguard Leah. The people who were previously stranded in Wilsk City all returned to the north with Morana today. Of course, everyone has a wanted order within the principality, so this time everyone

They all concealed their names and disguised themselves as caravans and passed through many checkpoints before successfully entering the Bar Plain. As for the city of Welsk, it was not that no one was left behind. At least Shay was left to continue there.

Lurking, after all, his status is somewhat special, and it is really not suitable to leave now.

Morana was a little distracted when she heard Leah calling her disguised name just now, so when she heard someone calling this name for a moment, she subconsciously thought of someone's face in her mind.

"Leah, you go to the border town first. I want to go to Mariaburg alone to take a look." After saying that, Morana left on horseback, ignoring Leah who was trying to stop her behind her, without turning her head.
