So I'm a sheep.

“A hero once severely injured Fafnir, but the dragon’s wounds healed in the volcano, and the damaged scales in other parts of the dragon gradually grew back.”

"But, for some reason, there's a spot on his neck where the dragon scales are still missing!"

Sasha's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Madam, are you sure?"

“Every spring, Fafnir receives tribute from the Earl’s territory at a fixed location. At least last year, a dragon scale on its neck had not yet grown. I saw it with my own eyes.”

"..."

This lady is so infatuated with Dilu that she's unlikely to be lying.

If there really is a flaw in the dragon's neck, then there is a lot that can be done!

Sasha pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Madam, were the labyrinths around the volcano all built by craftsmen from within the earldom?"

"good"

"The craftsmen of that time were absolutely skilled to be able to build a labyrinth that would satisfy even a dragon."

"I wonder if these skills have been passed down?"

The Countess nodded firmly: "It has been passed down. Fafnir will expand the labyrinth whenever he feels like it, and if the labyrinth falls below standard, all the craftsmen in charge will lose their lives."

"I can't speak for everything else in the Earldom of Fast, but the level of its craftsmen is definitely among the best in the kingdom!"

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

That's absolutely brilliant!

“Summon skilled craftsmen from within the earldom to set traps at the annual tribute sites and find a way to seal the dragon’s wings.”

"Rida maneuvered the giant eagle to get as close to Fafnir as possible, and David seized the opportunity to freeze the dragon for a moment, just for a moment!"

“Dilu, now you use the shattered red rose to pierce the dragon’s neck, aiming at the spot without scales.”

After finishing her explanation in one breath, Sasha looked at everyone expectantly: "What do you think?"

"..."

After a long silence, Rida was the first to agree: "I have no problem!"

"Very proactive, Rida!"

Sasha looked at this usually quiet and even somewhat timid guy in surprise and gave him a thumbs up.

"I want to be a nobleman, I want to be a hero!"

Rida clenched his fist: "For this, I'll do anything."

"sure!"

Blake walked over to Rida and patted him on the shoulder.

"He's a real man. I'm sorry about what happened before."

Rida grinned, nodded, and said nothing.

"I think the captain's plan is fine, and I'm willing to give it a try."

After Dilu spoke, everyone turned their attention to David.

"A risky plan"

The consultant covered his forehead and said, "But how can you slay a dragon without taking some risks?"

"I'm willing to try, but opportunities really do fly by."

“Dilu…”

"rest assured!"

Dilu said solemnly, "Leave it to me."

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

With the Countess's cooperation, the dragon-slaying team has taken control of the entire Count's mansion.

Under the guise of Earl Fast's order, all the skilled craftsmen in the territory were summoned.

Everyone thought the red dragon wanted to expand the maze again, but the lady said that she would set traps to deal with the evil dragon.

In their panic, some people immediately wanted to quit.

"I'm sorry, it's not up to you now."

Sasha said calmly, "There's not much time left until spring. Either you cooperate with us to slay the dragon, or..."

Blake grinned maliciously and proceeded to beat up the few who were making the most noise.

"This is just a warning. If you yell again, I'll break your necks!"

Looking at the menacing-looking Blake, everyone trembled and fell silent.

"Gentlemen, we have come to save the Earldom of Fast."

For every good cop, there's a bad cop.

The consultant began to patiently persuade everyone to cooperate with the Countess's promised reward, and on the surface, everyone agreed.

'Close surveillance is absolutely necessary; there's bound to be an informant.'

Sasha's fears soon came true; within a few days, someone wanted to go to the volcano to warn the evil dragon.

Fortunately, she had already asked Reda to use birds to monitor the craftsmen's actions, and after killing several informants, someone finally came up with a solution.

Volume 1: Chapter 688 Dragon-Catching Trap

"If your goal is to disable the red dragon's ability to fly, use this!"

Looking at the design sketch in her hand, Sasha's expression turned strange.

"Why does it look like a giant mousetrap?"

"The inspiration did indeed come from a mousetrap."

The craftsman representative explained, "Fafner habitually uses his strong hind legs to grab chests full of treasure, and the trap is immediately triggered when the chest leaves the ground."

"Two 'dragon traps' popped out from the ground and clamped down on Fafnir's pair of wings respectively."

"The solid iron ball is connected to the dragon trap by chains. We use the weight of the iron ball to bind Fafnir in mid-air!"

The girl stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then asked, "How can we guarantee that the clip will definitely catch Fafnir's wings?"

"Considering its size, wingspan, and habit of carrying treasure chests, the dragon trap will definitely be able to catch its wings!" the man said confidently.

"Okay, but even if it gets stuck, biting through the chain would only take a moment, right?"

"Look at this," the craftsman representative said, handing over a sketch.

Oh?

Sasha's eyes lit up: "Its mouth can't reach the wing?"

Having never actually seen the dragon, the girl's image of Fafnir was entirely based on descriptions from others, which she then filled in with her own imagination.

It's pretty much the same, but the details are definitely lacking!

At least, the Fafnir wings she had imagined before were never this long.

"Not only can't it bite with its mouth, but its forepaws and hind limbs can't reach the edge of the wing either."

The craftsman representative said in a deep voice, "The only thing Fafnir can do is use his tail to entangle the chain and pull the solid iron ball up from the ground."

“We can’t estimate how strong Fafnir is. Once it drags the iron ball into the volcano, we’re done for.”

"The scorching magma will help melt its chains, and the freed red dragon will unleash a furious vengeance upon the entire earldom!"

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

Sasha did not reveal her dragon-slaying plan to the craftsmen, but only proposed to create a trap that could block Fafnir's ability to fly.

The craftsman representative has already presented a plan that she finds quite satisfactory. Now, the young woman is combining her plan with the man's plan and making a comprehensive consideration.

Seeing that Sasha remained silent for a long time, the craftsman representative swallowed hard and nervously handed over a sketch.

"The key is the weight of the iron ball, and our idea is to make it heavier and heavier and heavier."

"This will raise a new problem: will the chains break while Fafnir is pulling on them?"

"Therefore, someone suggested weaving the chains into a net."

Sasha smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the two iron nets on the sketch.

"very good!"

Before the man could even breathe a sigh of relief, she immediately pointed out the potential flaws in the plan.

"Fafner can breathe fire; is it possible that its dragon breath could melt the iron net?"

"Impossible!"

Without hesitation, the craftsman representative replied, "When Fafnir wreaked havoc in the town, he destroyed my blacksmith shop with dragon's breath."

"The shop is destroyed, but the ironware inside is intact!"

Hearing this, the girl's smile widened.

She paced back and forth in the room, and finally said after some thought, "Your plan is good, but it needs a few modifications."

"You said..."

"The iron ball is buried underground, right?"

"Yes"

"Bury it deeper, then dig a space around the iron ball that a person can stand in. Oh, and make sure it's well-ventilated!"

Sasha quickly said, "The two iron balls should have grooves on their surfaces so that people can grip them tightly."

Without asking any further questions, the man said that a slight modification would suffice.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

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

With all available manpower mobilized and the entire dragon slayer team assisting the craftsmen, the dragon trap was finally completed by the deadline.
