In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

I really didn't expect it.

Green didn't think it was a good idea. The dangerous dungeon was not suitable for living.

He counted the bodies and found about twenty people killed.

"It seems like there are quite a few demihumans here. Otherwise, how could there be only human corpses here, but not a single demihuman?"

How to do it?

The dungeon was already very dangerous, and now people had to be wary of attacks from subhumans, which added even more psychological pressure to many people.

"Boss, what should we do? Do we need to find them?"

A Black Feather Guard suggested.

"No rush. There's no need to waste this ability and resources for now. Our purpose this time is just to defeat the Red Dragon."

"Of course, if you see one, don't let it go."

Green did not accept the soldier's suggestion to hide in the maze dungeon. It was too difficult to find the other party directly.

It would be better to just follow the procedures and wait for the other party to give it to you.

And the most important thing now is to let me become the master of the underground maze.

The group continued walking and came to the depths of the maze dungeon.

The environment here is even more mysterious and filled with various dangerous creatures unique to the underground maze.

衫

For example, arthropods that look like treasures, or shellfish that can drive armor to fight, it's really hard not to wonder if someone accidentally pressed the wrong skill when creating the species.

During this period, two or three Black Feather Guards died accidentally, but fortunately they were all resurrected by Laos's sister, a priest named Farin.

Deeper inside is a desolate underground city.

The wide streets were deserted, with only the occasional breeze stirring a few fallen leaves. The bluestone pavement, once bearing the footsteps and bustle of countless people, was now so quiet that one could hear the rustling of falling leaves. The shops along the street sat shuttered, their wooden signs swaying gently in the wind, their designs and words losing their former allure.

It was here that everyone discovered the dragon.

"Is that the dragon?"

Looking at the red dragon that was taller than a three-story building, Green felt a little disappointed. It seemed weaker than he had imagined.

Chapter 167 Seducing the Dragon

A red dragon, estimated to be at least three stories tall, was lying on the ground with its eyes closed. It was unclear whether it was asleep or not.

Red Dragon

Energy level: lv41

Abilities: Scorching Breath, Red Dragon Armor

Danger level: High risk

A giant dragon entrenched in the dungeon underwent certain organ mutations in a high magic element environment, which enhanced its breathing ability.

"Weaker than I thought."

Greenway narrowed his eyes. The power level of this dragon was much weaker than he had imagined. Even he could fight against it alone. If it were Rimuru, he might be able to deal with it alone. As for Frellen, if she cooperated with excellent warriors, she could also defeat the opponent.

"Is this the dragon? It's really huge."

The Shield Hero subconsciously raised the shield to block his chest. The dragon looked very strong, and many people felt weak in their legs when they saw it from a distance.

Marlucil is one of them, she’s a giant dragon!

hateful!

What's with feeling a little scared?

She forced herself to cheer up, patted her face to dispel the fear in her heart, and began to analyze the situation.

"It's a bit strange. A giant dragon only comes out to feed about once a month. It should have been only a week since the last time. Why is it here again?"

"Isn't this wrong?"

Oh?

Is there such a thing?

Green had a slightly higher opinion of Malucier. As expected of a wizard apprentice sent by the academy, she had quite a wide range of knowledge. She even remembered the eating habits of the dragon race.

But it doesn’t help me much. What kind of analysis is that?

All you need to do is know where you are and who you want to kill.

"Okay, I understand. Let's do it this way!"

So, in the shocked eyes of Malucil and others, Green took the increasingly heavy broad-bladed giant sword from the Black Feather Guard's hand, thinking that he must skin the red dragon and eat its meat today. The red dragon is really a treasure. The dragon's lair, dragon scales, and dragon eyes are all very expensive and in short supply on the market.

The most expensive item is the dragon whip! This item is ridiculously expensive among the nobles.

With the idea of ​​making some extra money, Green is ready to become a dragon-slaying hero today.

Also following along were Naofumi Iwamine and several Black Feather Guards. Needless to say, the former were brave men and naturally had no fear when facing a dragon. The latter were elites selected from the Black Feather Guards, and each of them had an energy level of over ten, so they could also play a certain auxiliary role when facing a dragon. They had also killed slightly smaller beasts of a certain size when following Green.

This stunned the others.

This is slaying a dragon! Not killing a stray dog ​​on the roadside!

are you crazy?

Malucier anxiously called out to the people who were about to take action, feeling that her worldview had collapsed.

Are you all so brave?

"Hashidou Madai!!!! Don't you need to plan something? This is a giant dragon, is it really okay to just go and subdue it so casually?"

Is it a bit too casual?

This is what she wanted to say.

"Yes, Lord Green, if it's okay, we'd better make some preparations first. Perhaps we can set up some traps to weaken the dragon's fighting power."

Laos also suggested that he was quite experienced in dealing with monsters.

It is difficult for ordinary people to compare with a dragon. In various legendary stories, there are often a large number of cannon fodders who overestimate their own abilities and want to escape from the dragon and end up being killed. In the end, it is the powerful brave man with his powerful teammates that successfully defeats the dragon.

Wait, a hero?

He blinked and looked at Kotomine Naofumi before he suddenly understood.

Uh, I forgot this time, my teammates this time are pretty awesome.

Only then did Laos realize that Naofumi Iwamine's presence in front of everyone was not very strong, and he treated people and things in a rather gentle manner, as if he had forgotten his identity as a hero.

Sato Kazuma looked as if he saw through everything and said nothing, but he knew it.

Apart from the fact that Naofumi Iwamine is the Shield Hero, his lord is probably also a time traveler, and a cheating one at that!

If a fight really breaks out, the Shield Hero might not be able to defeat the Earl. He realized this after Green knocked out the Holy Sword Princess of Belzec with one sword.

Lord Green is probably the protagonist in a Western fantasy anime plot. He has a powerful golden finger when he travels through time, and he has various reliable teammates to help him later. I am probably the little guy who follows the protagonist and cheers for him.

Thinking of this, he was not discouraged. Sato Kazuma was a man who was good at accepting facts. On the contrary, he was quite excited. Maybe he could use the fame of defeating the dragon to improve his reputation!

Yes, Sato Kazuma has been troubled recently. Although he is already a high-ranking official, he is still not welcome in the Medici territory.

Those female adventurers, attendants, and young ladies were unwilling to pay any attention to him, and even maliciously slandered him in front of him, calling him a scumbag! !

How rude!

"What are you so excited about, Sato Kazuma? How about I let you take the lead later?"

Green glanced at someone who was grinning foolishly.

Sato Kazuma suddenly stopped smiling and became serious.

Defeat the dragon, me?

Forget it? It's okay to get some combat achievements, but forget about going head-to-head with a hero or a dragon.

In this way, the dragon-hunting team began to move gradually towards the place where the dragon was resting, as if they were really preparing to kill the dragon.

Team Laos was clamoring along the way, especially Malucel, who seemed increasingly unreliable.

"Hey, hey, Grimm, are we really okay? Is there really no problem? Are we just going to attack the dragon directly?"

Green said:

"No problem, we will win!"

"Besides, there are more than a dozen of us, and he only has one dragon. With more than a dozen against one, the advantage is mine!"

Can a dragon compare to a human? Are you kidding me?

Marlucil was really full of complaints and wanted to say that a dragon could kill hundreds or thousands of humans, and unless they had weapons specifically designed to slay dragons, ordinary people would be slaughtered like pigs.

The more she listened to Green's words, the more anxious she became.

"Forget it, we can prepare Green a little bit."

Green was a little annoyed. How dare you shake the morale of the army? Believe it or not, I will drag you out and reward the army! Rewarding the army with elves, wouldn't that be awesome?

Of course, she was the eldest so she had to go first.

"Ah, you are such a coward, Marlucil."

What did you call me?

The female elf who was originally scared suddenly exploded. Can't you call my name?

Malucier always felt that Green had inexplicably great malice towards him and treated her like a child!

If it weren't for the difference in status and the inappropriate location, the female elf really wanted to fight him.

"In that case, Satou Kazuma."

Thinking that maybe something should be done, an idea came to Green's mind.

"What may I do for you, Lord Green?"

A bad premonition came to his mind, and Sato Kazuma seemed to have a premonition of his future fate.

"Sato Kazuma, you know, I've always thought you were a very good man! You're capable of doing business, being an adventurer, and even living with a jerk like Aqua."

"Really, you are a very good man."

Green sighed sincerely. According to how deceitful Aqua and Huihui were, ordinary people really couldn't afford to offend them. The most direct consequence was that they couldn't afford to lose money.

Aqua causes at least thousands of gold coins in losses every year. How can ordinary people afford to support her?

"Haha, you're exaggerating a bit. This is what I should do."

Why do you say this suddenly?

Being praised by the second one is a bit uncomfortable, and being praised by the boss for his strong ability.

"I'm not exaggerating. You've always done a great job. I'm lucky to have a subordinate like you."

Oh?

really?

Yeah, when you put it that way, it seems like I’m pretty awesome.

His mood had improved, but he still felt a lingering sense of danger lingering in his heart. What was that?

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Master Green."

The two of them arrived at the corner of Street Nine. After turning the corner, about ten meters away was the red dragon in the nightgown. Green also stopped.

“So, those who are capable should do more work.”

He lowered his voice.

"I've thought about it and it turns out we need some strategy. We'll ambush the dragon, and you'll be responsible for luring the monsters over."

"Okay, no Nani???!"

Sato Kazuma, who was about to agree, suddenly broke out in a sweat. Damn, it turns out that the danger lies here.

What do you mean by luring monsters here? Do you think this is a game?
