Count Eugene, the lord of the Sunset Land, was originally planning a comprehensive dragon hunting plan.
As a result, I don’t know what happened, the news leaked.
In a short period of time, a large number of professionals gathered in the Sunset Land.
Although most professionals below level three just want to try their luck.
There were as many as five or six hundred fourth-level professionals who came here upon hearing the news!
Not only humans, but also elves, orcs and dwarves!
There were also more than a dozen fifth-level professionals. The other middle-level professionals who received the news chose to wait and see for the time being because they doubted the authenticity of the news.
The territory of the Sunset Land is not small, and finding a dragon is not an easy task.
A Black Iron-level adventurer wanted to earn some extra money, so he accepted a commission to hunt a large slime in a village in the Sunset Land.
In the process of completing the task, he accidentally discovered a red dragon on the grassland, which swooped down from a high altitude, then climbed into the air and landed on a barren mountain opposite.
This adventurer is none other than Rajil, who has already reached level 10.
He had heard that Annuo was here to hunt dragons, so he followed him here to gain some experience.
Almost all of the more than one hundred adventurers who came to Sunset Land had this idea.
After discovering the dragon, Rajil clearly understood that he was no match for the dragon.
After all, [Dragon's Lair] was listed as a platinum-level mission by the president.
When Valkham was attacked by the Undead army, besieging Valkham was only a silver-level mission.
He originally wanted to pass on the news of the dragon's appearance to Anno.
But Rajil had no idea where Anno was.
Finally, Rajil passed the news to a bronze-level adventurer.
This bronze-level adventurer is one of Annuo's confidants and a spy sent here specially.
He didn't know that Anno didn't actually come to the Sunset Land.
But the task that Annuo gave him was to spread the news of the dragon immediately after discovering it.
In less than half a day, the information about the dragon's whereabouts spread among the professionals in the Sunset Land.
Mercenaries gathered from all over the place and began to gather towards the barren mountain.
Then they fought the dragon.
Count Eugene was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had no choice but to send people to join the battlefield without being fully prepared.
Although the red dragon is only at level four, its combat power is extremely strong.
And it is almost immune to all magic below level 4.
With a breath of dragon flame, the fourth-level professional was directly burned to ashes.
If there hadn't been a fifth-level professional, the red dragon wouldn't have been injured and escaped.
The red dragon ran away.
But more than a thousand mercenaries died in this battle, and half of the fourth-level mercenaries who rushed to the Sunset Land were killed!
Even a fifth-level unlucky guy died in the chaos.
When the bronze-level adventurer who passed the news learned the battle report, he ran back to Gray City overnight.
Before leaving, he told Trajir and the other adventurers to escape quickly.
They were the ones who spread the news.
He was really afraid that the mercenaries, who had suffered heavy losses, would cause trouble for them.
However, the fact is that after the dragon left, these mercenaries began fighting for dragon blood and dragon scales.
The person who suffered the most from this incident was Count Eugene.
In fact, as long as preparations are made step by step, the success rate of hunting dragons can be over 80%.
In the end, not only hundreds of soldiers were lost.
A lot of dragon blood was also stolen by some mercenaries who wore masks and concealed the emblem of the mercenary group.
Now he hated the Adventurer's Guild for spreading the news of the dragon.
However, no matter how much he hated it, Earl Eugene had no way to do anything to the adventurer who ran back to Gray City.
Anno, who was in the royal city, did not know the detailed information of the dragon incident in the Sunset Land.
If he knew about Count Eugene's loss, he could laugh all day.
Today is the second day that An Nuo has arrived in the royal city.
He was taking Liz for a stroll.
In Selby, Annuo had already witnessed the prosperity of the central city.
But the royal city shocked Annuo again.
Half of the pedestrians coming and going are professionals!
Annuo even saw some professionals among the pedestrians whose intelligence could not be observed even with the [Five Visions All-Powerful].
What does this mean?
The opponent's level is at least level 31, which means he is a sixth-order strongman!
In the shops on both sides of the street, any one of them sells various magical materials and items. In Valkham, they are precious materials and will be fought over by professionals.
Annuo even discovered that some hunters' battle pet shops directly listed fourth-level battle pets for sale!
"There isn't a single rank 4 warrior in Valkham and Grai City, but they can be found everywhere in the Royal City. Where the strong gather, the stage will be broader!"
An Nuo stood in the square of the outer city, looked up at the huge 20-meter-high stone sculpture in the center of the square and sighed.
The stone sculpture is of a warrior wearing heavy armor.
This is a statue of Charles I, the founding emperor of Nerja.
I heard that Charles I’s strength is as high as level nine, and he is an extremely powerful warrior!
The stone sculpture holds a helmet between his left arm and a large heavy sword in his right hand, looking straight to the north, as if intimidating the demons on the northern front.
Compared with the founding king Charles I, the current Kingdom of Nergal has been greatly weakened in its battle with the Demon King's army.
There is not a single ninth-level strongman in the entire country now!
This is also the reason why the third prince Tester tried his best to recruit people like Annuo and Xue Feibai after learning about their talents.
When they all became strong, Test had the support of Annuo and others around him.
Becoming the next king couldn't be easier.
After staying near the statue of Charles I for nearly two hours, An Nuo finally saw Xue Feibai and his group walking towards him from a distance.
Before they separated, Tester and Annuo agreed on how to contact each other.
In the outer city of the royal city, Tester will arrange a soldier to guard near the square.
As long as Annuo said the secret code, the soldier would know that the person Tester was waiting for had arrived and would go to the inner city to report.
Xue Feibai and his companions, who were looking for An Nuo, saw a stranger walking towards them with a smile on their faces, looking puzzled.
However, when Xue Feibai saw Liz next to this person, he suddenly reacted.
It was not until Liz next to him revealed her face under the hood that everyone realized that the professional dressed as a warrior should be Anno.
An Nuo also explained at the right time: "It's just a small skill that can slightly change your face!"
"I see!"
Everyone nodded, and then took Anno into a private room on the second floor of a pub.
In the tavern, Anno also saw an acquaintance.
"Who are you? Where is An Nuo?"
Selina, who was in casual clothes, saw a stranger following Xue Feibai and others and asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, long time no see!"
Annuo greeted Selina with a smile and changed back to his original appearance.
Seeing the familiar handsome face opposite her, Selina suddenly realized.
She crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes and raised her chin, saying, "Humph, I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would hide your identity for your own sake!"
Selina also knows something about Anno.
But Tester had told Selina not to reveal Anno's information.
Hearing this, An Nuo shrugged helplessly.
Selina opened her eyes and glanced at An Nuo, then slowly said, "Well, since you saved my life before, I'll protect you when we get to the royal city!"
