Chapter 44: Dragon-slaying Preparations!
Deer Heart Village. ฦ๐ซ๐๐w๐ฒ๐๐ปเซฆ๐ทe๐ก.c๐๐ข
It was located in the northern part of the continent, near the mineral-rich Longsong Alley.
It occupied an area of about 3,000 square meters, and there were about 20 people living there.
If one were to judge based on appearances, Deer Heart Village would look no different from an ordinary, unassuming desert village.
No one would expect it to a settlement under Agathaโs rule.
Escape and resistance were not allowed.
If not for the fact that Deer Heart Village was located in the trade route that crossed the desert, the villagers would not have been able to hold on.
They were like livestock in captivity, trembling in fear of the Red Ancient Dragon.
The sky had just revealed a hint of white, and the warm sunlight had just shone on the desert, when suddenly, a lone figure slowly approached the village from a distance.
The middle-aged man who approached the village was slightly hunched over, and he carried a bag that was taller than an average adult.
The middle-aged manโs slender physique did not look particularly strong. However, contrary to the villagersโ assumptions, he seemed to possess great strength in his arms.
However, as the man had hidden both his arms in his sleeves, unless one observed carefully, they would not have noticed the mechanical nature of his arms.
The middle-aged man that had approached the village was none other than โ
Bloom!
The guards of Deer Heart Village had noticed Bloom from afar.
The village chief had gathered the villagers to greet the visitor with open arms.
โGreetings, traveler, may I inquire as to where youโre heading to?โ
โOn behalf of Deer Heart Village, I welcome your arrival. Deer Heart Village can provide most of the items you need for a small fee.โ
The old village chief asked enthusiastically.
Deer Heart Village had been exploited by Agatha for a long time. Without a surefire means to make money, they would have perished a long time ago.
Deer Heart Villageโs method of making money was very simple. It was to receive tourists from all walks of life and to provide them with the resources they wanted.
Such resources include, camels, horses, clean clothes, and drinking water.
Naturally, the cost of these resources were not cheap. Most of the goods provided by Deer Heart Village were several times more expensive than those from the city.
Therefore, every time a traveler were to pass by Deer Heart Village, the villagers would make a killing.
Bloom nodded and went straight to the point.
โI came to Deer Heart Village to investigate the Red Dragon that has been attacking this place. If memory serves, the dragonโs name should be Agatha, right?โ
After hearing Bloomโs words, the old village chiefโs cloudy eyes flashed with renewed vigor.
The three heroes had died tragically in the desert. Although Deer Heart Village was isolated from civilization due to Agatha, news from the outside world was still passed to them via travelers.
He did not expect anyone to come of their own volition, especially after the tragic death of the three heroes.
As a result, the village chief was impressed with Bloomโs bravery.
Naturally, the village chief did not recognize Bloom. Although Bloomโs name and reputation was known far and wide, how many had actually seen the Dragon Slayer in the flesh?
Moreover, Bloomโs appearance had changed drastically. It was to an extent that most of his former friends would not recognize him either.
โSir, although we admire your courage, I believe that itโs necessary to advise you against your actions.โ
โYou know not of Agathaโs fearsome strength. Even the three heroes of the kingdom were no match for her. Compared to them, you look frail and weak. Itโs better for you to go home.โ
Although the old village chief was not a good person, strictly speaking, the death of the three heroes was in part, due to him.
As such, his guilty conscience compelled him to persuade the traveler from throwing his life away.
After all, Bloom did not have much muscle. Although he looked very experienced and calm, how could he put up a fight against Agatha without possessing enough strength?
Moreover, should Bloom actually go and challenge Agatha, Deer Heart Village might come under attack due to the assistance the village had offered Bloom.
Of course, the old village chief did not know that Agatha had already left this desert.
Had the village chief learned that Max and Mia were the only dragons that remained, he would probably set off in a crusade and put an end to the thorns in his side!
โI heard that His Majesty the King is also preparing to launch a crusade against the dragons. I doubt that youโd need to do anything.โ
The old village chief had already done his best. Should his advice fall onto deaf ears, there was nothing else he could do.
Bloom smiled faintly and said.
โMr. village chief, you donโt have to worry. I have come across more dragons than youโd expect.โ
โIf you could provide me with Agathaโs habits, or weaknesses, if any, it would be a great help to me. Oh yeah, the nameโs Bloom, by the way.โ
Upon hearing the travelerโs name, the village chief trembled violently!
The old village chiefโs expression changed instantly, and he now looked at Bloom as if he was a god that had decided to save Deer Heart Village!
โA-Areโฆโ
โAre you actually Mr. Bloom!?โ
Bloom nodded.
His title of Dragon Slayer had brought him some convenience at times.
A young man beside the village chief was somewhat puzzled. He did not understand the village chiefโs sudden shift in attitude. ฦ๐e๐we๐๐ฃ๏ฝ๐๐๐ญ.co๐ข
โLord Village Chief, who is Mr. Bloom? Why are you so excited?โ
The old village chief turned his head and glared fiercely at the youth.
โMr. Bloom is a famous Dragon Slayer who was known throughout the continent a decade ago! The number of dragons that Mr. Bloom has slain is simply unimaginable!โ
โAlthough the three heroes might be stronger than Mr. Bloom in times of war, before dragons, Mr. Bloomโs strength is second to none! Before dragons, the three heroes are no more than toddlers when compared to the likes of Mr. Bloom!โ
The villagers were shocked at the village chiefโs words.
โOh my God, please save our village, Mr. Bloom!โ
โPlease save our village. We have really been enslaved by that Red Dragon Agatha for far too long!โ
Bloom smiled and said, โThatโs what I intend to do.โ
Upon learning of Bloomโs intentions, Deer Heart Village instantly went into an uproar.
โThatโs great. The nightmare plaguing our village will finally come to an end! There is finally hope!โ
โPlease let us treat you to a grand feast!โ
The old village chief secretly wept tears and whispered.
โMy dear Emily, you can finally live in peace.โ
Bloom could not help but grin when he saw the enthusiasm of the villagers of Deer Heart Village.
โEveryone, you donโt have to go this far. All I ask is information regarding Agatha!โ
The mechanical arm hidden in Bloomโs sleeve was slightly glowing at this moment.
