So I'm a sheep.

Instead of fighting, let's have a live skills demonstration and let Viscount Saliye choose the team members who can be of use.

The selection process continued into winter, and even the severe cold did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm; Wangdu was celebrating every day as if it were a festival.

Most people just come to eat and drink, and maybe join in the fun.

Despite the large pool of participants, Sasha actually managed to pick two team members.

A man named Rida had a shifty appearance but possessed the ability to communicate with birds.

He kept a giant eagle that could carry two adults in flight.

The other person was named Dilu, a handsome guy with a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of energy) face.

He was a skilled marksman, second only to the boss in Sasha's opinion.

But that's not the key point. The key point is that his spear is a demonic weapon!

Volume 1: Chapter 684 The Dragon-Slaying Squad

A shattered red rose!

Any beast whose skin was lightly scratched by it would instantly turn into blood.

Extremely domineering and terrifying!

Even Sasha felt immense fear towards this magic spear; after gaining the power of the giant, her physique had long surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.

But what if I get scratched by this demonic spear?

'I'll probably die in agony too.'

Sasha instinctively didn't want to get close to the magic gun and its owner, but after hesitating for a long time, she still invited Dilu to join the team.

"Those who wield the shattered red rose in the end all meet a tragic end."

"Your Excellency, are you not afraid of being tainted by bad luck?"

Dilu uttered ominous words: "The only reason I had the idea of ​​slaying the dragon was that I wanted to die in a more meaningful way."

"Hmph, you have a shattered red rose, and I have an unbroken lake."

"The demonic spear devours its master, the divine sword protects its master, what do I have to fear?"

Dilu stared in surprise at the sword at the girl's waist and nodded slowly.

"In that case, please guide me, Captain."

Pshaw, just don't stab me in the back.

You little brat, if you dare to have any crooked thoughts, I'll chop you down with one sword!

As Sasha rubbed her index finger against the hilt of her sword, a faint sense of hostility suddenly arose in her heart towards Dilu.

She quickly suppressed this inexplicable hostility and smiled and nodded at the man.

With the addition of Rida and Dilu, the Dragon Slayer Expedition has doubled in size.

That very evening at the banquet, His Majesty the King solemnly recommended another powerful figure to Sasha.

I thought he might be the big boss, but...

"This is David, the court advisor. He will definitely be of help to you!"

"Oh?"

Sasha then asked, "Your Majesty, what is so special about this Mr. David?"

King Carlos VII smiled mysteriously: "Your Excellency Saliye, David is not a warrior, but he knows many 'magical arts'."

........................................

Thaumaturgy?

He was a wizard!

They should be at least at the level of those in white robes, since they were personally recommended by the king to join the team; it would be too shabby if they weren't in white robes.

"Consultant David, please demonstrate your special skill," Sasha said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, please retract the word 'performance.' I am not a street performer, but a great wizard!"

David's arrogant expression was not surprising, as wizards generally looked down on other professions.

"Excuse me, but please demonstrate your specialty."

The girl nodded, thinking that this guy needed to be taught a lesson.

With Ankang as her friend, the wizard was not mysterious at all in her eyes.

Grey-robed wizards need to prepare specific materials and use lengthy, convoluted incantations to perform their magic.

White-robed wizards have fewer restrictions and can usually cast most spells simply by chanting incantations.

The colorful robes are even more incredible; some of the witchcraft spells can be cast instantly!

Except for instant-cast spells, all other spells can be interrupted during the casting phase.

Even if witchcraft is successfully performed, its effects vary greatly depending on the enemy, and it may even backfire.

This can be extremely deadly at times!

According to An Kang, he devoted most of his energy to the Transformation System in order to minimize uncertainty.

“Your Excellency, I am particularly skilled in ‘binding’.”

David said slowly, "Perhaps you would like to experience it for yourself?"

"David, your mission is to assist Lady Saliye in slaying the evil dragon."

The king frowned in displeasure: "Why are we suddenly at odds?"

“Your Majesty, it is necessary for each other to demonstrate their strength before officially joining the team,” David said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

..........................................

"Your Majesty, I think the advisor makes a lot of sense."

Sasha nodded without standing up from her seat, and simply gestured for David to proceed.

"I need a little time to chant, Your Excellency, please wait a moment."

That's shameless; they completely blocked any possibility of me interrupting the incantation.

However, since it's a binding spell, waiting won't hurt.

The girl sat steadily in her seat, and a few seconds later, she felt a sudden weight on her.

At the same time, David's expression changed drastically.

His magical power surged wildly, as if the object of his restraint was not a human girl, but a terrifying creature like a dragon!

Sasha suddenly straightened her back, and a series of crackling sounds came from her body.

An unparalleled force shattered the invisible shackles, and David let out a muffled groan as two streams of blood gushed from his nose.

Humans could not possibly possess such power!

unless......

"A bear? No, that's not right!"

A sudden realization struck David, who looked at Sasha in astonishment and exclaimed, "You actually..."

"What?!"

He gripped the divine weapon in his right hand, and a palpable killing intent enveloped his white robe.

Dilu sprang up from his chair and moved far away from his captain.

Rida was frozen stiff and dared not move, only Blake managed to stay still, but even this bully felt a chill in his heart.

'Damn it, how could I have thought the captain was so kind and approachable before? How many people has she killed?'

Having suppressed her murderous intent, Sasha took a sip of wine and asked again, "What?!"

"..."

"The captain actually has such strength."

Wiping away the blood from his nose, David said dryly, "I have even more confidence in this mission. His Majesty truly has discerning eyes, recognizing a great hero like you at first glance."

"Ha ha ha ha"

"The consultant must be a cultured person; he speaks very eloquently."

Sasha smiled and waved to him: "Don't just stand there, sit down! The food's getting cold."

His Majesty the King then came to his senses and rose to offer a toast to the young woman.

"Captain Saliye, congratulations! Now the team is complete!"

They've got everyone, but none of them are easy to deal with.

"Fafner is terrifying, but with the combined strength of the five of us, we can definitely defeat it!"

As Sasha clinked glasses with King Carlos VII, she shouted, "Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain!" Blake shouted, giving him face.

"We will, we will win!" Rida shouted tremblingly.

"Victory is certain!" Dilu returned to his seat.

"Victory is certain!" David revealed a fake smile.

Upon seeing this, His Majesty the King burst into laughter.

"Yes, we will win!"

........................................

The Dragon Slaying Team was officially formed. Because the Earl of Fast was far from the capital, Sasha declined the king's offer to leave in the spring and decided to set off now.

"Viscount, keep it up!"

Kant clenched his fist: "The great hero will surely triumph over evil!"
