I Can See the World's Attributes

The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!

But what does this have to do with me, ...

Chapter 718 Bounty Mission

One of the two men, the bearded one, looked older and more burly, while the other was thinner and appeared younger.

"Yes," Sean replied.

There was no denial. It was useless to deny it at this time. After all, both of them knew that the other was a capable person.

Sean's outfit was relatively okay, as he always wore a black suit. Lucille's outfit was more like an ordinary witch's, with even her wand hanging outside the small backpack on her back.

"Sure enough, I've seen two of them use magic to put themselves into a sleeping state before, so I thought they must be wizards, but I never had the chance to meet them." The older man with a beard as big as mine spoke first.

Originally, there were only four passengers on this airship, and they would meet each other every day.

What surprised Sean was that they could actually tell that Lucille had used the magic of [Hypnosis~].

"I'm not used to riding an airship, so I use this kind of magic to suppress my physical discomfort." Before Sean could speak, Lucille spoke first.

It can be seen that after being silent for a long time, she began to imitate Sean and start talking to others.

Sean could see the psychological changes of the two people at this moment, so he deliberately kept silent and listened to their conversation...

The person in the conversation was a beautiful female wizard, and the two bounty hunters seemed much more gentlemanly.

"I see. The plateau is indeed very difficult to endure, especially for those living in low-lying areas. I think Your Excellency the Witch has come from quite far away," the older man asked.

At this time, Lucille had not yet learned to disguise her hair color. Her silver hair made her stand out in the crowd. Anyone with a little common sense would understand that they were from a nation on the other side of the desert. Even if they might have blood relatives here, they were ancestors from far away areas, so they could tell at a glance.

"Yes, my mentor and I are traveling here."

"travel?"

The two bounty hunters glanced at Sean, and Sean nodded in greeting in a friendly manner.

Sean looked older than Lucille, so his role as mentor was not surprising, but it was rare for wizards to travel here.

"I have seen some wizards from Bashalan in Xiata, but not many came from Koga City... After all, the climate in the plateau is harsh and most people can't adapt to it." said the man.

Wizarding travel is actually nothing new in the world.

Many wizards will travel around to study with their knowledge, especially those relatively free wizards, who will travel around the world and visit local sages to expand their magical knowledge. This can also be considered a kind of growth.

That's why Sean keeps using this excuse.

“But there is still one, right?”

"Hahaha...that's right. I can imagine that you two must be very diligent wizard scholars." Another slightly younger bounty hunter said with a smile.

"By the way, what are you two doing in Xiata?" This time it was Lucille who asked.

Xiata.

This is the country that the airship is heading to this time, and it is also one of the two major countries on the plateau. Sean once saw this country from a regional map. The territory is very large, but compared to the plateau, a large area is uninhabited. Only the cities in the valleys and the flat areas are inhabited.

It is rare to see people in those deep mountains.

Maybe there is, but it would be difficult to encounter it...

A few years ago, under the normal timeline, in the battle between Bashalan and the Borg, the Borg wanted to divide into two groups to encircle the southern rear of the Bashalan Empire from the left and right sides. Of course, one side's army was defeated by Sean, and the other side's army was defeated by the Shata people.

Before this, Sean had never really witnessed the fighting power of the Xiata people, but from that battle, he could estimate that this country was not weak.

There was even a plan in the Bashalan Empire's self-rescue plan to ask Xiata to send troops for help, but the other party did not agree, so the plan was shelved.

After hearing Lucille's question, the two of them were silent for a while, both of them thinking about it.

"Of course we are here to complete a mission. Bounty hunters make a living from bounties, and this place is the best battlefield for hunters, so we come here often." said the older man.

"So this isn't your first time here?"

“Yes, we come here almost every year…”

"Is there any special purpose?" Lucille continued to ask.

Suddenly at this moment, Sean felt that it was a good thing that she was a girl. If he asked the question, these two people would definitely not answer. Lucille's female advantage was immediately reflected.

"I guess so, little sister... Have you ever heard of dragons?"

The three of them chatted for a few minutes, and probably because they saw that Lucille was indeed young, they suddenly changed the way they addressed her.

"Dragon!"

Sean asked curiously.

"That's right, since you are traveling wizards, you should have heard of a special beast called a flying dragon in the desert area, right?" The two bounty hunters spoke very carefully, as if it was some kind of secret.

"I know." Lucille replied.

"Well, dragons are arguably one of the most unique creatures in the world. They are born with powerful flesh and blood bodies, and some even possess magical powers. They are much stronger than ordinary monsters. In the past, many tribes in the plateau region had a history of domesticating them."

What the two said reminded Sean of Frelia's hometown.

The reason why Frelia is called the descendant of the dragon-taming witch is because her people in her hometown have been famous for taming and integrating certain types of dragons in the history of the plateau.

Of course, these were told to him by Lucille more than ten years later...but now the two of them had come to this land in person.

"Are there any differences between them?" Lucille continued to ask.

"That's a lot. Pterodactyls are only slightly stronger in flight and physical abilities, but they're still a limited species, and living in the desert has significantly altered their appearance... The true home of dragons is the plateau. Although they rarely appear, Xiata issues quests for bounty hunters to capture them every year."

The two explained that the country of Xiata would issue dragon-hunting missions every year during the season when the snow-capped mountain roads melted, and those skilled animal trainers or bounty hunters would go there to try their hand. After all, if they encountered and captured a dragon, it would be a huge income. Even getting a dragon egg would be of considerable value and it was totally worth the risk.

The two of them really came here for this reason. Calculating the time, the snow melting season is almost here in the next few days.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Of course."

The two said affirmatively.

Sean was thinking about Xiata more than ten years later. It seemed that he had never heard of this mission. Could it be that it only existed more than ten years ago?
