As one of the two great empires on the plateau and adjacent to Zambutal, Xiata is considered to be the most well-known plateau country.

Whether in the future or now, this is the plateau country that can communicate the most with the five major countries of Zambutal, and the special identity of many bounty hunters actually first spread from here.

Sean still remembers what happened when he first followed Frelia north. That was his first encounter with bounty hunters...

And in the next, and probably the only time, Sean participated in the mercenary group's mission.

At that time, I participated as a bounty hunter, and this identity brought me a lot of benefits.

Although it was just a city in the southern part of Basaran, it did not represent how powerful bounty hunters were among the mercenaries. However, the only thing that could be confirmed was that even among mercenaries, bounty hunters who specialized in various assassination techniques had a certain deterrent effect.

Although the two men in front of him looked kind, Sean knew in his heart that anyone who dared to call themselves a bounty hunter had blood on their hands!

They are two ruthless characters.

What interested Sean even more was that the dragon beast actually lived on this plateau!

I thought flying dragons were wild beasts native to the Adak region, but I didn't expect that their origin was here. But the same question still remains.

There were dragon hunting operations more than a decade ago, but there seemed to be no such thing as hearing about it more than a decade later. As for the rumors about those who were good at using dragons to improve their own strength, they were not really rumors. Frelia's hometown was such a tribe, and she had told herself about it more than once or twice.

It was Steele who took her away on the plateau, and the dragon-taming witch disappeared at that time, leaving her alone!

Dragons.

Plus the bounty mission to capture the dragon...

It seems that the Xiata Kingdom or the plateau area almost all relies on these magical beasts for survival, and a large number of animal trainers also appear in this place.

The animal tamer was a profession Sean had heard about a long time ago, but over the years he had encountered various professions and even ancient gods, but he had never actually met animal tamers. That was because most of them lived in the plateau areas.

If I had never been here before, I would naturally not have encountered it, but now I am finally getting a little closer to this special profession.

The city the airship arrived at was called Muta...

It means a tall tower made of wood, simple and clear. Just as Sean complained about this explanation countless times in his heart, Lucille next to him also asked curiously about the name of this place.

"This place was indeed the location of a highland watchtower in the past, but later due to its geographical location and the large number of airships docked here, it was formed into a city." The person who answered was still an airship worker.

No one probably knows these place names better than them.

When they arrived at the destination, Sean and Lucille got off the airship.

Although the sun was still out at this time, the temperature was very low. Everyone on the block was wearing thick fur coats.

People in the plateau are quite tall, which is very similar to those in the desert, but they are not as dark, and their skin looks whiter, just like the snow on the snow-capped mountains. The only thing Sean noticed is that most people seem to have a blush on both sides of their faces.

Just like a person with a cold.

They like to braid their hair, and both men and women have long braids on the back of their heads. Under their thick coats, they look as burly as warriors.

"Your Excellency, the two wizards."

Just after Sean and the other man got off the airship, the other two bounty hunters followed.

They had already arrived at the place, and it should be time for everyone to go their separate ways, but the two of them followed behind and walked forward and said.

"Is there anything else?" Sean asked the two.

Just now on the last airship, everyone had introduced themselves to each other. The older of the two bounty hunters was called Soren, and the younger one was Thor. They were brothers and had been bounty hunters for seven years, making them considered veteran hunters. They had been active in the five major countries of Zambutal and near Xiata.

Even bounty hunters can participate in general mercenary group missions. Judging from the conversation between the two of them just now, they are not only old hunters, but also old mercenaries.

"It's like this. In the past few days, my two brothers have actually been observing the actions of the two of you... Of course, it's not that we have any improper thoughts, but we are on the same airship, you know, this is unavoidable." It was the older Soran who spoke first.

"I understand," Sean said.

Not only them, I was actually observing both of them.

People traveling together will pay attention to strangers traveling with each other. This is not something worth hiding when traveling, and it is normal.

"That's great. Actually, my brother and I would like to invite you two to join us in our quest to find dragons. Of course, if we do find one, we'll split the price equally. We've been bounty hunters for so many years, so we definitely have this credibility."

While Soran was speaking, Sean was actually observing the changing emotions above his head.

I didn't tell the truth, but I didn't lie either...

It seems that he himself is not sure whether these words are true or not, he just said them for the time being, after all, the two of them still need his help.

"Although we haven't witnessed your magical abilities, we can tell you're quite capable, otherwise you wouldn't have traveled so far. We happen to be in need of teammates, so we'd like to invite you."

When I said this, I sounded sincere.

Of course, Lucille doesn't care...

In fact, she still didn't know Sean's specific purpose for coming here. Although he had said before that he was going to the highest peak in the world, she had no idea what he was going to do there. She also had no idea what the purple crystal in her backpack was for.

But no matter what, the other party is her mentor, and for this reason, he deserves her unconditional trust.

As long as Sean agrees, Lucille will go with him...

"Can I ask where you are going this time?" Sean asked.

"Usually, the most common place for dragons to appear is inside the Campas Mountains, which is also where the world's highest peak is located. It's said to be very dangerous. Otherwise, we wouldn't have invited two people to join us. Plus, there are always many bounty hunters going on dragon hunting missions. You know... if no one of us completes the same mission, we're just friends. But if only one of us completes it... then..."

The other party didn't finish his words, but hunting others for mission rewards was not a new thing in the mercenary group and it happened in many places.

Nothing strange!

But the place they were going to was the same as mine...

Campas Mountains.

"Okay then, I agree to join you."
