Chapter 69

Al turned his head and looked at Samuel with a conflicted look, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just continued to do what he was doing in silence.

Forget it. It’s obvious that Samuel won’t force himself to control his temper in front of outsiders, so he shouldn’t waste his breath.

The god found the little believer's conflicted expression quite interesting and was waiting for him to persuade him on what to do, but the other party remained silent.

What, you don’t want to talk to Him anymore?

Samuel said unhappily: "Are you unhappy that I ignored him?" Could it be that the kid, like the other companions, admired the dean very much?

"..." This person wouldn't listen no matter what I said, and he wouldn't be happy if I didn't say anything. Al pursed his lips, and a sigh came to his mind - children are so difficult to raise!

"I'm not dissatisfied. Compared to you, the dean is just an outsider. I won't bother you because of him. It's just... he knows a lot of things. I'm worried that you will arouse his suspicion and he will find out your identity. Then many blind humans will come to bother you and follow you wherever you go."

The coldness in his black eyes dissipated a little, Samuel pulled his lips, and said in a light and slow tone: "Are you worried about me, or yourself?"

El smiled and answered honestly: "After all, I am also the Son of God who was praised by the God of Light as a pure-hearted saint. If you reveal your identity, the priests of the Holy See will only think that I was deceived and that I did not intentionally conceal anything. Why should I worry about myself?"

He didn't think too much when he answered, but he gave the correct answer by accident. If Al had said something like "Of course I'm worried about you", Samuel would have been able to get over it, but he wouldn't have taken it to heart.

On the contrary, although the truth is not as pleasant to hear as words to flatter people, it can win a little trust, making it seem that everything that was said to Him before was true... Thinking of this, Samuel was successfully flattered.

"You should be worried. After all, traveling alone is too boring. I will take you with me wherever I go in the future. Little, believer, and disciple." The last three words were joking, which made Al, who once regarded himself as a believer to please God, feel uneasy.

Samuel teased him in a good mood: "I won't leave you behind when we return to the abyss. Are you happy that you can always stay with me?" Light elements are scarce there, and it is the place that light mages are most reluctant to stay. He wanted to see what excuse the little guy would find to refuse, or... would act coquettishly and beg him.

Ai immediately turned his head to look at Him, his eyes sparkling! Unlocking a new map? Wouldn't that mean we could see many intelligent races that we had only heard of? There would also be many new species! "When are you going? Tell me in advance so that I can make arrangements, so that our relatives and friends won't worry if they can't contact us."

As for the fact that he, a light system user, would be like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth, Al was not very worried. Winster and Samuel would not ignore him. Besides, he could not use magic and could still survive by swordsmanship.

Samuel choked. What's the point if you can't scare anyone?

The Lord God opened his thin lips and uttered the word "stupid", then lay down on the made bed, closed his eyes and ignored his little bastard who was interested in questioning him.

Al was helpless and couldn't pull this guy up, so he thought he would wait until dawn to ask Winster. At least he had to find out what inconveniences there were in the abyss so that he could prepare enough supplies in advance.

Almost an hour had passed since he got up to catch the attacker. Now he could still wake up in time for breakfast. After a sudden death, Al, who had engraved health preservation into his bones, soon fell into a deep sleep again.

Samuel turned his head to look at him speechlessly. Whenever the kid slept so peacefully and comfortably in a strange place, Samuel would suspect that he was using him as a personal bodyguard.

I am destined to have no sleep tonight.

At daybreak, Elphis was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door, no, it was a banging on the door. There were more than ten people living in this residence, but apart from Auston, no one else would be so unreserved.

Along with the loud knocks on the door, His Royal Highness the Prince shouted excitedly: "Al! Good brother, don't fall asleep! You won't believe what we found out!"

Yaerlin's dissuading voice was faintly audible: "Your Highness, this matter is not urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow, you should go back to your room and have a rest first." Don't disturb his master's sleep.

"How can you be so calm?! That's..." Before Auston could finish his words, the door in front of him opened, and his friend's delicate and fair face was now shrouded in black air.

Al stared at him expressionlessly, "You better be in big trouble."

Auston didn't feel the low pressure at all. He was so excited that his expression was exaggerated: "A dragon! That thief knows the dragon's lair--!"

When Raymond was interrogating people, he was just seeking revenge for personal gain, and his methods were quite cruel. He tried his best to conceal his feelings and words, but the pleasure and excitement in his eyes were still obvious, which made the tortured Bauman seriously doubt whether these people were from the Vatican.

Yarlin and Austin, who were watching from the side, were good people, but not merciful. In their eyes, Bauman, who stole money and killed people, especially his master/friend, was no different from a dead man, so they let Raymond do what he wanted.

After shouting his injustice for half the night, Bowman, who was sure that these people would not believe his words, had to show his cards and try to negotiate a deal: "I can take you to the dragon's lair, but the premise is that you can promise to let me go after finding the dragon!" Compared with the strongest monster, his life or death is not important at all! The forces behind these people also have the ability to forcefully tame the dragon as a helper, so there is no reason not to be tempted!

In addition to places with abundant water sources, which are the places Bauman visits most often, water controls fire, so places with abundant fire elements are also the areas he prefers to travel to. With his level as a high-level magician, he can easily obtain some good magical materials and fire-type monsters to exchange for money.

The days are short and the nights are long near the abyss. It is also very hot and muggy, and it is difficult for plants to grow. The overall environment is quite desolate, so it is quite far away to find a gathering place for human beings. The dark abyss is like a natural moat that stretches thousands of miles, separating the two places.

Of course, humans have explored the other side, but there is no grass at all there. The adventurers were unable to get out of the desert after several days, and they encountered active volcanoes from time to time.

There are not many countries in this world competing for territory, so humans are not in a hurry to seize the opportunity there. Only curious adventurers or those who want to get rich will try their luck in finding resources. Bowman is the latter.

A few months ago, Bowman went to the volcano group to look for a magical ore. He didn't find anything, but he was lucky enough to see a magic dragon flying into the crater! He hid in a cave not far away and waited for two days in disbelief, and finally saw the huge magic beast flying out of the volcano again! It has a strong body, a thick and long neck, sharp claws, hard scales, a dangerous and powerful tail, and wings that raise dust all over the sky when flapped!

Oh my god——

Bowman was extremely excited. This was the most powerful magical beast that no one might see in hundreds of years!

He did not intend to sell this news. As long as he could contract the magic dragon, he would have the most loyal and powerful helper, be famous throughout the continent, and be won over by many forces! Moreover, with the pressure of the magic dragon, it would be easy to catch other magic beasts and sell them in the future!

Naturally, Bauman couldn't tame the dragon with his own strength, so he planned to please it and give it more shiny treasures. Once he eliminated some of its hostility and successfully approached it, he would use a trick to force a contract!

The dragon was not easy to approach. Even if it accepted the treasure, it would still be very aggressive. Fortunately, it only regarded Bowman as a toy to kill time and chased him for fun, not as food. When the two-legged beast struggled to convey that he would bring more treasure, the dragon let him go.

Bowman originally planned to escape and sell the news to a powerful force if the dragon was too ferocious to approach. Unexpectedly, this dragon was much more docile than described in the rumors, so he felt that there was more hope for the contract!

The treasures on him were far from enough. Seeing the dragon getting close to it several times, Bowman had a bad idea...

At first, he just wanted to steal property, but walking on the road at night too much will always bring about ghosts. Bowman is not a light swordsman. He made a lot of noise and was discovered several times, so he had to kill him! In order to completely get rid of suspicion, he even used the forbidden blood killing spell to harm people. The blood in the victims' bodies is also water, which is completely separated from the human body by Bowman's control, so they become mummies!

He had heard that several candidates for the Son of God in the Holy See were in such a miserable state, and he believed that those who were investigating would focus their attention on the century-old enemy of the Holy See.

After a few times, Bowman had fixed the theft process. First, he would let the mole he had raised for a long time find the treasure room below, and then come back to guide him to the direction. If there were no guards, he would not kill anyone. If there were, he would kill them with blood puppets first, then go in and drain their blood to frame the dark race, and then find a passage to enter the basement.

After Bauman confessed, he couldn't understand how these people knew the location of his theft in advance. After all, there were dozens of wealthy businessmen who met his requirements in a city.

He asked, and soon regretted it - it would be better not to ask!

Because the swordsman who almost beat him to death answered him with a mean and sneerful face: "We just guessed. We had been staying for a few days and were planning to leave. You had to bump into us tonight. How unlucky you are."

If Bowman hadn't been wearing the Magic-Binding Bracelet and couldn't use magic anymore, he would have fought him to the death!

——

Auston talked for a long time, still excited, "That's it, if this guy is not lying, we will see a dragon soon!"

Al yawned. He was not very interested in the dragon with wings, nor was he interested in contracting a magical beast to help him fight. In the eyes of Elphis, there was no difference between a magic dragon and a griffin. In terms of strength, after seeing the God of Law, the God of Sword, and the Lord God, it was difficult for him to marvel at how powerful other beings were.

"I understand. You all go back and rest."

Austin's heart choked, and he said in disbelief: "That's a demon dragon! You may not even see one in your lifetime, can you be a little excited???"

"…I'm not interested, let me go."

"No, you have to be interested! We'd better set out to find the dragon right away!" He couldn't sleep anyway.

Al was planning to ask Samuel to take him to the abyss to take a look, but...Auston, Raymond, and even Yarlin in front of him were looking at him with expectant eyes, and he really couldn't bear to spoil their fun.

Forget it, if I don’t sign a contract with the monsters, I can still see some new scenery and landscapes.

The young man sighed and said, "We'll set off when you wake up."

After listening to everything in the room, Samuel was not interested in the dragon, but this journey would cross the abyss, and he could just see how much power was left in the seal used by Ashbern.

The black eyes suddenly opened, and the Lord God grasped the hand that was hitting His head in time. Because He was just lazily grasping it, Al did not feel any pain and continued to sleep soundly. Samuel looked at the little believer's face that was very close to him, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth - this damn little broken bed!

——

After dawn, Winster also came back.

The others were still asleep, and Al was chatting with his brother while eating breakfast, "Do you want a magic dragon as a mount? It seems that sword masters are all looking forward to this."

Winster had no patience for other lives, and he didn't want his brother to raise one. Noisy things could easily divert his brother's attention... After searching Samuel's memory, Winster began to belittle him: "Magic dragons are not docile. My brother won't like them. Besides, they are not tasty. The meat is hard and woody. They are useless, and they take a lot of food to raise."

“…” Strange knowledge increased.
