"Still haven't found it?" Kevin stood at the edge of the charred forest and asked the people who came to report.
"Captain, we've already climbed this mountain. According to the guests who escaped last night, many monsters attacked us. Perhaps none were as powerful as you..."
"Shut up and keep looking." Kevin frowned and waved his hands. He couldn't accept such an outcome.
"Yes, Captain." The guard sighed and continued walking up the mountain covered with white ash.
Near noon, someone finally discovered the passage hidden under the ashes.
"Here, Captain! We found the butler." The guard shouted.
A group of people surrounded him. The butler, who was healthy and vigorous in the past, seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. After he woke up, his face was still full of fear.
"No, don't come over... Don't eat me." He was trembling and swaying all over, as if he was still immersed in the fear of the monster's roar last night.
"Where is Lord Moruo? Lord Moruo." Looking at the extremely frightened butler, the others asked anxiously, but the answers they got were still the same repetitive ones.
A week later, the gentlemen of the territory finally confirmed that Viscount Moruo had died in the fire. Miraculously, after the fire and the monster attack that night, the forest settled down again, with no more monster attacks. Everything seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
After losing this nobleman, the guards in the city seemed to be devastated. For a moment, everyone felt more relaxed than before when Viscount Moruo was alive. Or perhaps this would be the beginning of a new life?
At the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce headquarters, members were loading boxes of goods onto carriages. Now that the snow on the road was gradually melting, it was time to set off again.
"Is Miss Messiah here?" Charlene knocked on the door gently, and then a sleepy girl opened the door. She was wearing simple white pajamas and seemed to be still asleep.
"It's time to go, Messia." She helped the girl to tidy up her hair.
"Ever since we came back from the last party, you've been feeling sleepy every day. Did you run into any trouble? Everyone was running around, and many people didn't come back."
"Well, we encountered some very powerful monsters at that time, ha~." Loran Hill felt very sleepy. The aftereffects of borrowing power were still bothering her. She estimated that she would need to sleep for a few weeks before she could gradually recover.
"Okay, let's sleep on the way. You are the anchor of our caravan. If everyone can't see the lovely and brave Miss Messia, they will be very disappointed." Sharin said jokingly, hugged the adorable girl, and patted her back gently.
"By the way, didn't you say before that you had to look for your lost distant sister Lottie?"
"Would you like to go with us to Chixin Province this time? It's the center of the southern border and the most prosperous place. If we go there, we should be able to find some clues. After all, that's where information from all sides converges."
"It's said that there's a Dragon Cliff Mountain Range in Red Heart Province, where giant dragons with fiery red scales live. Many people who travel there buy a dragon scale or two as a souvenir. Most of the Bloodwing Red Dragons of the Pascal family also came from here."
"Red Heart Province, also known as the heart of the Southern Territory. If you go there, you'll be able to display your talents."
Charlene looked at the blonde girl and sighed in her heart that they would have to part ways sooner or later.
After all, no matter how young a dragon is, there will come a day when it will fly high into the wind and it will not stay under the shade of a tree forever.
