Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1252 - 810: Old John’s Shock (Part 2)
Anyway... it must be very high, that’s for sure.
Suffice it to say, even he could tell that her demeanor was more outstanding than that of the other Elves. Despite being a rough man, Old John didn’t quite understand what demeanor meant, but he could feel it.
After listening to the Elves chat idly, Old John found out that Miss Feng was the captain of this Elf team.
According to them, something triggered a "hidden mission" turning into so-called Luck King.
Although he didn’t fully comprehend, it seemed impressive.
Old John automatically placed her in the position of Mercenary Group Leader, after all... these Elves did look very much like the legendary Elf Mercenaries.
"The mine is northwest of the city, about twenty kilometers from Luck City. I used to live there, and it would be about half a month before I’d return to Luck City once."
"Originally, the mine had a Baron Castle, but it was abandoned due to war until Baron Little Rosen became the City Lord of Luck City and repaired it."
"Of course, now it’s become the Dragon Nest."
"Baron Little Rosen is a branch of the Rosen family. It’s said their ancestors migrated here after failing to compete for the Clan Leader of the Rosen family. He’s also the owner of the gold mine, but... rumor has it that 90% of the profits from the Luck City gold mines are handed over to the main house of the Rosen family."
"The one who owes us wages is Baron Little Rosen. After the dragon came, he couldn’t deal with the dragon, so he vented all his anger on us."
Old John continued telling the Elves what he knew as he followed along with them.
Speaking of Baron Little Rosen, he gritted his teeth in anger.
However, when he followed the Elves out of the city, he paused slightly.
"Mr. Feng, Lord Li Mu, this direction is southwest, not the direction to the mine."
He reminded the Elves.
The Elves looked at each other and smiled:
"We know."
"Twenty kilometers isn’t close, we’re going to find our mount partners."
Mount partners?
Old John’s heart leaped.
Legend has it that the Elf Clan are children of the forest, adored by the noble and beautiful Child of Nature, the Unicorn.
Could it be... a Unicorn?
Old John couldn’t help but recall stories he heard from Minstrels, and his heart began to thrill with excitement.
He had never seen a Unicorn before!
However, when he followed the Elves to a rarely visited forest outside the city and saw the mount partners the Elves spoke of, he was shocked and widened his eyes.
Each of the Elves whistled, and following the whistle, a flock of startled birds flew out from the woods accompanied by a series of joyous dragon roars, a total of seven gigantic creatures flew out of the forest, coming before the Elves.
"Dragons... dragons?!"
Old John couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief.
They turned out to be mighty dragons!
Divine above! These Elf Adventurers’ mounts turned out to be dragons!
Who... exactly are they?!
Old John, though merely a mortal, loved hearing Minstrels tell tales of adventure, and in those stories, those who could bond with dragons are legendary heroes!
And at that moment, something flashed in Old John’s mind, recalling certain rumors he heard a while ago, about some Elf Dragon Knights who came to the human kingdom to fight evil...
Could it be... them?!
At this moment, Old John’s gaze at the Elves changed.
In the rumors he heard, they were the Elf Dragon Knights who vanquished a Legendary Magical Beast!
A legend... those are the pinnacle of existence on the continent, who even when meeting the Emperor, need not bow but are accorded high respect!
Old John wasn’t aware of the Elves’ strength.
But in his simple understanding, only legends can defeat legends.
At this moment, he suddenly grew nervous again.
True God above! The most formidable profession he’d ever encountered in his life was only silver at best!
And it was the Knight from the Little Rosen family, arrogant and conceited.
If these Elves truly are legends... then he... then he...
Could he, just an ordinary person, actually have some intersecting moment with such illustrious figures?
For a moment, Old John felt dizzy, almost imagining a series of magical adventure tales.
Wait... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
If this is indeed the case, and the Elves are interested in the dragons entrenched at the mines...
Then is he... about to witness a dragon-slaying?
Or perhaps, taming?
As Old John mused wildly, suddenly, another clear dragon roar, a golden dragon bolted out from the forest.
Seeing the golden scales, the majestic stance, Old John’s face changed dramatically:
"It’s it! That dragon!"
Under the bewildered gazes of the elves, he let out a strange cry and quickly hid behind Mr. Dema.
As for why Dema...
The shiny and heavy armor all over, just looks very reassuring.
However, Old John’s fright was only momentary, because he quickly discovered that this golden dragon was much smaller than the one he had seen before.
In his astonished gaze, the golden dragon let out a long cry and joyfully flew in front of Miss Feng, affectionately nuzzling her cheek.
At the same time, he saw Little Xian Miao with a face of mixed emotions:
"Kristen, if the optimists saw you like this, they would cry!"
Hearing the words of the Elf Mage, the golden dragon turned its head, rolled its eyes at her, and continued to nuzzle Feng’s cheek.
Little Xian Miao: ...
"You guy! If you roll your eyes at me again, don’t think about eating my gemstones in the future! Don’t forget it was me who hired you for this mission, with full board!"
Little Xian Miao said angrily.
It wasn’t until hearing this that the golden dragon reluctantly moved from Feng’s side and obediently licked Little Xian Miao’s palm.
That expression unexpectedly appeared to have a somewhat awkward ingratiating look.
Old John: ...
He widened his eyes, unable to believe that the terrifying dragon of legend could have this... this... dragon-licking demeanor.
The other elves burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, Miao Ju, you already know that Lady Feng is always popular with magical beasts."
"Exactly, she’s the number one Druid in all realms, naturally attuned to magical beasts."
The number one Druid?
Old John’s heart stirred slightly.
Although he didn’t understand what "all realms" meant, he understood "number one."
After all, the elves always used the common tongue of the Segis World, and although there were occasionally some strange pronunciations that he couldn’t understand, he always knew the gist of what they were saying.
The number one Druid...
Truly a strong figure among the Elf Clan!
At this moment, Old John’s gaze towards Feng was full of awe.
"Alright, let’s set out."
Seeing the dragons make their appearance, Feng said with a smile.
Then, she looked at Old John:
"Mr. John, you can ride a dragon with All-Star Acan."
Old John once again felt incredibly honored, feeling dazed.
True God above!
An impoverished freeman like him would actually get to ride a dragon!
...
Sitting gingerly on the dragon’s back, Old John nervously clutched the elf’s clothing. The dragon beneath him let out a long cry, lifted its wings, and took flight.
The scene below became smaller and smaller. Old John saw the wheat fields outside the city, saw the entire city of Luck, saw the pedestrians in the city who looked like ants...
He felt he had an experience he could boast about for a lifetime.
Ten dragons carried ten elves and Old John, flying northward.
Twenty kilometers, not too close, but not too far either.
The wind roared, and the dragons moved swiftly. Before long, the familiar mine appeared in Old John’s sight.
The mine was built along the mountain, large in scale, and on the mountain stood an ancient castle.
That was the famous Gold Mine Baron Castle, once garrisoned by troops protecting the gold mine.
Of course, it had now become a dragon’s nest.
Beyond the mine, below the hillside, was a dense crowd of people, including knights, warriors, and mages, all well-equipped.
This was a fully armed noble army.
Among the army, a flag embroidered with the emblem of double lions fluttered in the wind.
That was the emblem of the Rosen family.
