Chapter 445: Chapter 245: So You Were Aiming for the Big Toe Nail, Huh?

When Raine focused his attention on the dim red dragon icon, information instantly flooded the screen:

Due to his fragmented white dragon bloodline, Raine had psychological expectations for the scene before him.

Moreover, unlike when he first acquired the fragmented white dragon bloodline, his strength had increased several-fold, even obtaining the true bloodline of an adult white dragon.

Thus, the fragmented red dragon bloodline before him merely stirred Raine’s heart with slight ripples.

’Indeed, dragons are the innate beings of this world.’

’The red dragon is truly the pinnacle among them!’

Raine discovered that the fragmented red dragon bloodline before him, even without the system marking it as reaching one-tenth of a true red dragon’s concentration, still had attributes surpassing the fragmented white dragon bloodline he had before.

This was sufficient to affirm the status of the red dragon as the leader of the five-color dragons.

Much stronger than the white dragon, without a doubt!

’If I can defeat an adult red dragon, my power will surely be greatly enhanced!’ Raine thought to himself.

"Raine, look ahead."

Suddenly, Laisa’s excited voice interrupted Raine’s thoughts.

As he lifted his gaze to the distance, he saw a long stretch of gray-barren mountain range beneath the far horizon. In contrast, the region of the Fadir Wetland Kingdom resembled a green meadow adorned with lake-blue pearls.

However, Raine knew there was a reason for the mountains being gray-barren ahead.

According to the information he checked before setting off, it was due to the high iron content on the surface of the mountains, leading to sparse vegetation across the entire Iron Hills area; only certain plants favored such an environment.

"In front of us is the Iron Hills!"

"It should be, this scene matches what is recorded in the books exactly." Raine nodded.

This was his first visit, although Laisa had traversed many regions of the continent, Iron Hills wasn’t among them.

Approximately half an hour later.

The griffins that Raine and Laisa rode landed at the Adventurer Association Branch located in Iron Hills.

Contrary to their expectations, the Adventurer’s branch in Iron Hills was not inside a city but on the outskirts, in an area similar to a small town.

Nevertheless, the town was bustling, and the architecture was distinctly dwarven in style, rugged, rocky, adorned with numerous carvings, with black or gray stone buildings stretching back toward the mountains.

And when looking towards the mountain, it was immediately apparent that the city’s core was situated inside a hollowed giant mountain.

Two enormous statues, over thirty meters tall, holding hammer and shield and two-handed heavy hammer stood like gate guardians at the main entrance to the mountain.

"Wow! So many dwarves!" Laisa looked towards the street in amazement and whispered into Raine’s ear.

Raine was also quite surprised as he observed the surroundings.

Iron Hills was both the abbreviation for the terrain of this region and the capital of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, hinting at the quantity and proportion of dwarves here.

In his view, nearly more than seventy percent of the pedestrians on the street consisted of people with various types of beards, and the sounds he heard were robust and rough voices. He could even distinctly smell the rich aroma of malt beer wafting through the entire street.

Malt beer?

Are there many taverns nearby?

However, the two quickly discovered where the strong aroma of beer came from.

Apparently, dwarves frequently opened all sorts of personal mugs, taking big gulps often spilling many shiny droplets over their long beards.

Seeing a dwarf appear in Mill Town usually drew the gaze of many human adventurers, and Raine and Laisa’s presence naturally attracted the attention of the dwarves.

"Hey, human adventurers, what brings you to Iron Hills? You look like a warrior, warriors don’t mix well in Iron Hills." A strapping dwarf warrior with braided beard, carrying a two-handed heavy hammer, initiated a conversation.

"Oh? Why?"

"Because only dwarves make the best warriors, with robust muscles!" Speaking as such, the friendly dwarf warrior posed in a Schwarzenegger-style, showcasing his bicep muscles.

"But you’re short." Laisa couldn’t stand it any longer, her straightforward nature made her roll her eyes and retort.
