At this moment, Godwin's smile made the young Greg feel very uncomfortable, but he became more determined in his heart that he would never let his father's golden name be tarnished at any cost!

Especially that sinner named Reinhardt, he must not be allowed to stay with my father!

Boom, boom, boom——

At this moment, a gentle and rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded, followed by Lutier's voice from outside the door.

"Lord Godwin, there is an emergency."

"Well, come in."

"Yes."

The moment she finished speaking, Lutier pushed open the door, without even glancing at Greg standing by the table, and walked straight to Godwin's side.

But when she was about to bend down and whisper something to Godwin, Godwin waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Just tell me what you want to say."

"Yes," Lutier said, lowering her head. "An envoy from Kalia has come to visit, hoping you can assist Kalia in capturing Knight Reinhardt and the [Heretic Witch] Selian."

"Who sent this messenger?"

"I didn't know." Lutier couldn't help but lower her head even deeper. This was her fault as a guard knight.

Godwin did not say anything, but narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the table for a long time.

If he guessed correctly, this was not an order from Princess Rani, but the self-determination of the royal nobles of Kalia.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

But before he could say anything, Greg suddenly spoke up, "Father, isn't this a good opportunity?"

"Now send someone to capture the abandoned sinner Reinhardt and that heretic witch, and then transfer them to Kalia. This way we can gain Kalia's friendship. Isn't that great?!"

It was obvious that Greg was very excited about this, and he looked as if he had come up with a brilliant plan.

But just this simple sentence brought upon him the wrath of Godwin.

"Shut up Greg, it's not your turn to make the decision!"

"But father, this is the best opportunity..."

"I said, shut up!"

The roar like a lion waking up from sleep echoed in the study, frightening Greg so much that he trembled with fear. He stood there with his head lowered, not daring to say another word.

Seeing Greg calm down, Godwin also lost his dignity.

But to be honest, if it were someone else, Greg's suggestion would be very good, and it would indeed help him gain Kalia's friendship.

But the people they wanted to capture were Reinhardt and his teacher Seren, and he couldn't do that no matter what they said.

"...Loutiel, tell them to go back. Even if [Moon Princess] Lani comes in person, I will protect Knight Reinhardt and his teacher Seren!"

"If you must capture people in Nimgufu, then tell them to prepare for the wrath of the [Golden Monarch] Godwin and the Ancient Dragon Clan!"

"Yes! Your Highness Godwin."

After receiving the order, Lutier immediately turned around and left the room.

Only Greg was still standing there in a daze.

He really didn't understand why his father, the proud father of the Golden Dynasty, would want to protect those two criminals.

Even at the cost of tarnishing his own golden name...

110. I hate people who only speak half the words (5K)

The next day, the golden tree's brilliance slowly blossomed, ushering in a new day at the border.

Reinhardt and Serlian also set out on their journey again, riding their horses slowly forward against the strong wind.

Although Godwin went out of the city to see him off and even tried to keep him as he expected, he was still rejected bluntly, and even the team responsible for the escort was sent back by him.

For him, just being able to have a drink with Godwin like last night was enough.

However, in addition to Serlian, who was still studying Master Wehler's notes despite facing such a strong storm, there was another person who subtly appeared on their journey.

"Hey, Lance Shanks, why are you following us instead of staying with Ful Shanks in Stoneville City?"

Reinhardt glanced at the dragon lady who was also riding beside him.

This dragon lady has been following them silently since they left Stonewell City. At first, they thought they were just traveling the same way, but now... she is almost following them to the Storm Checkpoint. It is obvious that she did it on purpose.

However, it was not without disadvantages. At least the wolves squatting on the top of the hill preparing to attack passers-by all ran away with their tails between their legs after sensing the faint breath emitted by Lance Shanks.

However, when Lance Shanks heard his question, he just gave him an ambiguous smile.

what's the situation?

"No, I told you to stop being silent. What's the point of just smiling?"

"Hehe..." This time, Lance Shanks covered his mouth with his hands and laughed out loud.

But it was precisely this action that attracted the attention of countless passers-by, because it was so beautiful. At present, Lance Shanks was still in a completely human form, without any unique markings of the ancient dragon clan.

If I had to say something, it would be her legs, which still retained the ancient dragon's slate gray color, but it could not hide the delicate beauty that was both moving and wild.

"My friend Reinhardt, why are you so impatient? I have come to discuss something important with you."

Lance Shanks sat leisurely on the saddle and spoke in ancient language.

The strong wind blowing in her face scattered her long silver-gray hair, but her expression was very comfortable, as if she was enjoying it all.

But Reinhardt couldn't help but feel a headache and covered his forehead. "Um...Lance Shanks, can you please not talk like that? It's so painful to listen to."

"Mm?"

Lance Shanks turned his head and tilted it in confusion, looking a little silly.

It took a moment for him to react and think of something.

"I'm sorry, maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for a while, and I forgot to change the way I speak. It should be okay now, my friend."

"Never mind, let's just leave it at that..."

He waved his hands, no longer able to complain.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but this dragon girl actually imitated the way Godwin spoke to him.

But you know what, they really look alike.

"Well, Miss Lance Shanks, can you tell me the reason now?"

"...That's a rather unfamiliar name."

Lance Sanx rolled his eyes at him coquettishly upon hearing this. No one knew where he had learned this from. Then he slowly said, "Actually, I'm here for two reasons. The first is that I want you to follow me to our royal city - Fam Azra."

"?"

This sudden invitation made Reinhardt's expression freeze. His brain was a little slow to react, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"M... Because the king who was sleeping in the cracks, the king of our clan—Platon Sanx—has awakened, and He wants to see you."

Lance Shanks said a lot of words with a calm tone, which contained a lot of information. It was so much that his little head could hardly think about it.

What did Lance Shanks just say?

【Ancient Dragon King】Platon Shanks is awake?

Isn't He sleeping in the center of the storm between time and space, waiting for His God to return?

Although the god of the ancient dragon clan does have a certain connection with the sun, and it is true that he possesses the laws of the sun, he is not a god. Why does he suddenly want to see me?

Most importantly, he still has a question about the floating city of Fam Azra, which is gradually falling into destruction...

"...I say, Lance Sanx, are you serious? You want me to go to Fam Azra to meet your king, Platon Sanx? I won't go."

"Why?" This time it was Lance Shanks' turn to be confused.

She didn't understand why Reinhardt became so resistant when he heard the name Fam Azra. The expression on his face was full of reluctance and even a hint of disgust.

However, only Reinhardt himself knew the reason.

The price he paid to open the road to Fam Azra was the most unforgettable memory for him.

But Reinhardt didn't say all this, but talked about other aspects.

"Before I answer your question, Lance Sanx, let me ask you first, Marica's Shadow Beast [Black Sword] Maricaus is on that, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Before becoming the shadow beast of the goddess Marika, Malikas was a priest of the orcs, responsible for communicating with us, the ancient dragons. Is there any problem with that?"

Lance Shanks did not hide anything and immediately told Reinhardt about Malicus's past, but the disgust on Reinhardt's face did not diminish at all.

"Since he's there, I can't go there. The Two Fingers consider me a criminal and even sent secret assassins to kill me. The shadow beasts are also under the control of those damned Two Fingers. Do you think Maliks and those damned Two Fingers will let me off easy if I go to Fam Azra now?"

I guess I could raise the black sword that seals his destined death and kick his pants right off.

"Haha, so you're worried about this. Our Ancient Dragon Clan once ruled over the orcs. Even though we're gradually declining now, the orcs don't dare to resist."

"...Then can you deal with the destined death? Malicus once defeated the Queen of Night and sealed her law - the destined death in the sword. Do you ancient dragons have the ability to resist it?" Reinhardt glanced at her and said quietly.

"..."

Lance Shanks fell silent after hearing this, and his fair face was slightly flushed with shame.

Indeed, she had no way to fight against her destined death.

Although their ancient dragon clan is the most powerful race in the border area, and although they are immortal and even time cannot leave any trace on them, they still have no way to deal with the almighty gods.

It can be said that except for their king, Platonshanks, who can kill gods, even she and her brother Fulshanks have no way to fight against the gods.

Otherwise, they would not have been defeated by the Golden Dynasty and Godwin.

So, let alone going against the alienation in the laws held by the gods—destined death.

But then again, she discovered that Reinhardt knew a lot, even someone like Malicus knew it.

To be honest, she was becoming more and more curious about the origins of this seemingly unremarkable friend.

Not only does he possess the solar law they have been looking for, but he also knows many secrets that are not even recorded in books. If Reinhardt had not exuded a human aura, she might really have mistaken this man, Reinhardt, for the god they once supported and submitted to.

"In that case, I won't force you any further. I'll come back to you when I come up with a new solution."

Lance Shanks immediately reined in his horse and prepared to return to his true form. Seeing this, Reinhardt couldn't help but ask hurriedly, "Hey, didn't you say there was another thing?"

"...Since the first request has been rejected, there's no need to mention the second one for now. Wait for good news from me, my friend Reinhardt."

Without giving him a chance to ask again, the moment he finished speaking, Lance Shanks returned to the posture of an ancient dragon, spread his huge wings and flew towards the horizon. Passersby were stunned when they saw it, and many of them fell off their horses in fright.

They never imagined that the beautiful woman was actually an ancient dragon.

You know, the ancient dragons' notoriety is well-known in the border area. After all, their strength is unreasonable, and their proud dragon breath and dragon thunder can even prevent them from even returning to the trees, and they will be burned to ashes on the spot.

"Damn it, don't you know I hate speaking halfway?"

Reinhardt looked up at the huge figure that was gradually moving away and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He hated these two types of people the most. The first was those who only spoke half of their words...

In this way, Lance Shanks left halfway, and they continued their journey, slowly moving forward following the pedestrians and caravans around them.

-------------------------------------

When they returned to the small town in front of the Storm Hill Checkpoint, the sky had gradually darkened, but they had no intention of stopping and staying there. Instead, they followed the long caravan to a farther place.

At the fork in the road, there are two paths in front of you.

One is the road leading to the most dangerous area of Nimgefu, the Misty Forest where the Bear King (Rune Bear) lives, and the other is the Sacrifice Bridge leading to the Weeping Peninsula.

As the two most important castles in Nimgfu, Hyde Fortress and Morn City are separated by the sea.

Most merchants choose to go to the Weeping Peninsula, where the endless Mars is like the red spider lilies blooming on the other side of the river. Only a small number of merchants choose to go to Hyde Fortress at the end of the Misty Forest to trade.

Although this trade route is dangerous, the income is considerable.

After all, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, and high profits are often accompanied by huge risks.

Reinhardt and Serlian also chose to follow the few people to the Misty Forest.

It’s not that he intends to make money from these people by acting as a bodyguard, but he wants to enjoy the natural scenery and see if it is possible to go to the Eternal City to take a look.

After all, Noklongn is located beneath Nimgfu, and the entrance is deep in the Misty Forest.

But things backfired.
