Make the dragon great again

Chapter 119 Changes in Lannold Town

In the year 3365 of the Sirias Continental Calendar, the Moon of Flowing Fire.

The adventurer town of Rannod, located in the southwestern border of the Behemoth Kingdom, has recently become much less popular on the streets and in taverns than in the past few decades or hundreds of years.

The bartender didn't deal with the irritable adventurers at the counter of the tavern, but leaned in front of the tavern, chatting with the townspeople who were also doing nothing—because there had been no customers for several days.

The adventurers who had been flooding the streets were now less than one-third of the previous figures, and they were all passing by with the illusion of a certain rumor in order to go to the depths of the Great Mullin Forest. A rookie adventurer in this "outdated" adventurer town.

This kind of depression has lasted for more than a year, but in fact, two years ago, the situation in Lannold Town was exactly the opposite of what it is now, and it was at the peak of the flow of people that has been rare in ten years...

Ever since the [Dragon's Descent] event that happened in the royal capital in 3363 was spread across the eastern part of the mainland by troubadours and even further away, people's discussion and yearning for fantasy creatures and existence above the hero level have been pushed up. to unprecedented heights;
It turns out that [giant dragon], a fantasy creature that exists in mythology, does exist. On the other hand, does it really exist at the hero level or even above the legendary level, which has always been regarded by the world as "the untouchable domain of mortals"?

A long life beyond the limit of race, a powerful force that can ignore or even redefine the secular rules...

In the past, although superhumans had always enjoyed superior treatment in society because of their great power attributed to themselves, in fact, only those who had reached the gold level and above the level of hundreds of enemies could have social status. Equivalent to the status of nobility;

However, more than ninety-nine percent of extraordinary people will never reach the third level or become a gold level in their lifetime. Therefore, it is doomed that among the extraordinary people, only the top little one can really enjoy the treatment beyond ordinary people in society. Pick up people.

Judging from the approximate ratio of the number of people, this is similar to the ratio between civilians and nobles in society. Therefore, it is not so much that the superhumans enjoy superior treatment, it is better to say that a very small number of superhumans have become members of the existing society. Members of the aristocracy of the order...

As for those "heroes" who have reached the peak of the Gaia species, although their personal might is so powerful that they can surpass the constraints of most secular rules, there are not fifty heroes in the entire continent, and they can be divided evenly. Almost every country has only one hero class;

Therefore, this part of the transcendent at the top of the pyramid can only be regarded as a small variable outside the rules, but in the current social environment, it is still unable to shake the secular ruling order dominated by blood nobles.

However, the incident that happened five years ago in Thunder City, the capital of King Behemoth, completely changed the world's opinion.

In that incident, what is still talked about today is no longer the dispute between the royal family and the great nobles, the war between the kingdom and the principality, but the joint efforts of many heroes, which almost overturned an existence. The two facts of the royal regime of more than ten thousand years and the birth of a mythical creature have completely reversed the situation.

Although it is not uncommon for heroes to participate in secular political disputes, it is quite rare in the history of the third era that such a number of participants is targeted at an ancient kingdom.

And the near-successful experience of the rebels at the beginning allowed the world to confirm the fact that extraordinary power can override the rules of the world.

In particular, these people's later failures were not because of the backlash against them by the secular rules, but because another, more powerful extraordinary force emerged from the sky and suppressed them forcibly...

The secular order ruled by the aristocracy is still maintained, but deep in people's hearts, its authority has been completely replaced by extraordinary power...

As a result, with the Kingdom of Bechymos at the center, an unprecedented frenzy of "pursuing extraordinary power" was set off among the common people in the eastern part of the mainland.

Becoming an adventurer is the simplest and most direct way they can think of.

In the Adventurer’s Guild, you can buy simple methods of spiritual meditation and energy training, and the price is only the points accumulated by completing the guild’s entrustment. Transcendents are much more "civilians" in terms of corresponding courses.

Therefore, in the first year after the end of the [Dragon Descent] time, as one of the two largest adventurer towns in the eastern part of the mainland, and with the advantage of being backed by the Great Forest of Mullin, Rannod Town attracted a large number of Rookie adventurer.

During that time, Lannaud Town once became a large-scale commercial town with a daily floating population of over [-], and its permanent population once approached [-]. This is almost equivalent to a medium-sized city in the current social environment. !

However, this town of adventurers who "glowed a second spring" due to the [Dragon Descent] incident, was influenced by another rumor that spread more and more widely, and it took less than three years before it was once again Back to the original shape, there is even a trend of further decline in popularity.

——A rumor about a certain unnamed dungeon located in the depths of the Mullin Forest, dubbed "City of Miracles" and "Maze of Sages" by insiders.

Legend has it that the dungeon is full of treasures, and some of the hidden rooms even contain secret treasures that have been enchanted by heroes. The brave man in front of him has a wish, and this wish can be a gift of extraordinary power!

What is the purpose of people becoming adventurers?It is the pursuit of a higher level of extraordinary power, and the pursuit of personal might overriding the rules of the world!

Therefore, the adventurers who gathered in Rannord Town quickly turned their enthusiasm to the underground city in the depths of the Mullin Forest, and after discovering that there was already a prototype of a small town near the entrance of the underground city. , quickly leaving the town of Rannord behind.

After more than a year of development and evolution, Rannod Town, one of the largest gathering places for adventurers in the eastern part of the mainland, was ruthlessly abandoned by customers like a dealer of outdated fashion products, and became an underground place. The outdated upstream industrial chain of "transporting talents" by the city lord only has the function of providing a resting place for adventurers going to the new town deep in the forest...

But today, a foreigner came to this town just after crossing an old road in the Great Mullin Forest that connected the Quintus Great Swamp to Rannord Town.

This is an elderly man who has lost his left arm. The dirty clothes on his body can vaguely tell that the original materials are good. He seems to be a miserable businessman who has suffered a catastrophe and lost all his belongings during the journey.

Such a guy definitely doesn't have much money on him, and even the black gloves who hang around the streets and alleys probably don't bother to patronize him—if there are pickpockets and thieves in the now depressed town of Rannord.

The man with the broken arm came to the Adventurer's Guild in the small town, and took out his silver nameplate under the suspicious eyes of the few remaining staff members of the guild.

As a result, the guild staff on the nameplate looked at it and said:
"The name is Yoram, and the location of the level is the third branch of the Saint Rand Magic Empire?"

The one-armed man was one of the six members of the Church of the Holy Spirit who sneaked into the continent of Sirias, the senior priest Yoram.

Yoram nodded and said:

"Yes, I am a man from the Empire. I have just crossed the Great Swamp and the Great Forest and came here in search of power and wealth."

The guild staff looked at him strangely.

"Crossed the Great Forest of Murion to come here to find power and wealth? If this is your purpose, why don't you go straight into the Great Forest and go to that place?"

"...I, I don't know the rules in the eastern part of the mainland..."

Yoram seemed a little nervous, but fortunately the staff didn't notice this.

"That's right, you are from the Empire in the western part of the mainland, and you still came from the Quintus Swamp in the south. It's normal to be unclear. If you took the [Eastern Corridor] in the north, then you probably understand what I'm talking about. .”

"Excuse me... what happened?"

I don't know if it's because I have nothing to do for a long time, so I'm flustered. Seeing that there is a rare adventurer who can use his professional ability to come to the door, the staff immediately opened the door.

"Hey! You don't know, since the [Dragon Descent] event, oh, I forgot, you probably don't know what the [Dragon Descent] event is..."

The staff member gushed to Yoram about the changes that the town has experienced since 3363, but failed to notice that after hearing the word "dragon", Yoram was covered by messy gray hair His pupils suddenly narrowed a circle.

'The giant dragon...the giant dragon...could it be the mythical creature that is suspected of being a demon...could the demon that caused all the official priests to go crazy be this so-called giant dragon? '

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

(It's a new volume, it's a bit difficult to cut into... Maybe I should update the map first?)
