Sylvia's companion Ocasi looked at the professional at the door and asked, "Where did you hear the news?"

"One of the mercenaries that was attacked escaped and fainted when he arrived at the town gate. The soldiers of the town took him to the square, and a priest treated his injuries. After he woke up, he told us about his mercenary group's encounter with the dragon!"

After hearing his explanation, most of the people in the guild sat back down.

"Two hours. In such a long time, the dragon would have flown away to who knows where!"

"Giant dragons are still attacking humans. It is basically certain that the news that the Adventurer's Guild's president has captured a giant dragon is false information! Unless the Adventurer's Guild's president wants to be wanted by the kingdom!"

"The president of the Adventurer's Guild is just a low-level professional. What is so outstanding about him that makes the people of the Holy Church spend so much energy to find the president of the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Unless you find An Nuo and ask him! Hahaha..."

If it was really Annuo who instructed the dragon to do it, he would be held accountable even if Annuo was the president of the Adventurer's Guild.

Killing people for no reason would be bad enough, but leaving them alive would also be reported.

If Annuo dares to show up with the dragon in the future, he will be guilty!

The laws of the kingdom are not for show.

Of course, no one thought that Anno, who was able to found an Adventurer's Guild and had a bounty of 1 million gold coins offered for his whereabouts, was a fool.

Stupid enough to kill someone and leave him alive.

Therefore, everyone has reason to believe that the dragon has nothing to do with Annuo.

Many mid-level professionals already have this speculation in their minds.

Now there is simply more evidence.

"To be honest, I've always felt that this search is too inefficient. The Eie Mountains are so large that it's not easy to find a dragon. Moreover, even if we happen to find one, if we can't restrict its flying ability, it will be a waste of time if the dragon flies away."

"Unless we let those fifth- and sixth-level people encounter it, they will definitely find a way to shoot down the dragon!"

"But if we are caught by them, the treasure on the dragon will have nothing to do with us! Even though it is only level 4, it is still a dragon. Its entire body is full of treasures!"

"Let's try our luck. As long as we kill a giant dragon, we can do nothing else for the rest of our lives!"

"Haha, what do you think the Demon King's Army is? Haven't you heard that the Demon King's Army is preparing to attack the northern border of the kingdom?"

"Haha, I'm not from the Nergal Kingdom. I'm from the Roland Empire. With the Sword Saint here, we are not afraid even if the Demon King's army comes!"

“…”

Hearing the discussion of the people around him, Anno turned around and looked at Green and asked, "Lord Green, the Demon King's army is preparing to attack the Kingdom of Nigar this time. Will the elves come to help?"

"The elves have been fighting the Demon King's army!"

Green explained: "The Demon King has always wanted to occupy the Elf Forest, and the attacks on the Elf Forest have never stopped. Although there have been no major wars in recent years, small-scale battles have never stopped.

This time, the Demon King's army is ostensibly gathering its forces in the northern border of Nigar, but who knows what the Demon King is planning.

War is never one-sided.

The alliance between humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs fights against the demon king's army.

A single move can affect the whole body!

Once the real war begins, no race can stay out of it.

However, a total war is not so easy to start.

It’s only been ten years since the last time.

Even the Demon King's army needs to recuperate.

I estimate that the Demon King's army will not send out too many troops this time.

Maybe it’s just for training.”

Upon hearing this, An Nuo remained silent.

Green's meaning is obvious.

The Elf Forest has always faced the threat of the Demon King's army.

If the Demon King's army had not used its full strength in this war.

The Elf Forest might only send a few strong men to provide support symbolically.

But if the Demon King's army is really preparing to invade the Kingdom of Nigar, the Elf Forest will definitely send a large army to support it or distract the Demon King's army from other places.

In short, the number of alliance members cannot be reduced!

It's just that this time, when the Demon King's army took action, it happened to be the time when Philomena was exposed.

Annuo felt that if this war broke out, it would most likely be related to Philomena.

War is definitely not just a training exercise as Green said.

Annuo chatted with Fei'er and Green for a while.

After the meal, they said goodbye.

Anno did not stay in the town of Gruul, but returned to the Forbidden Forest and found a secret place to start practicing.

After sending out summoned creatures to guard the surroundings, Annuo called out Philomena.

"You are so stupid! You have been learning from me, the God of Summoning, for so many days, but you haven't mastered a single skill.

You have such a poor understanding. Apart from being a little stronger than the slimes that can be found everywhere on the grassland, what else can you do?"

As soon as they came out, Philomena started to call Anno stupid.

After An Nuo heard this, a "well" character popped up on his forehead, but he finally accepted his fate!

"Last time, I used the coordinates you gave me to enter the underworld with my soul and found the existence of the fog.

If there hadn't been a few evil spirits there at the time, I would have already given the mist a soul mark and learned this skill!"

[Mist Summoning] is to summon the fog of the underworld to your side to disrupt the enemy's vision.

This requires Anno's soul to enter the underworld, find the fog and make its own mark.

Having experienced his soul (consciousness) entering the divine space, Annuo easily mastered the soul's 'out-of-body experience'.

However, even with the coordinates given by Philomena, it still took Anno a long time to sense the existence of the underworld.

This underworld is different from the underworld where the demonic spirits live.

The latter can be seen as the name of the kingdom drawn by Youpo in the demon world.

The former is where the soul of a living being goes after death, and its plane level is the same as the Demon Realm and Angomlos.

According to Philomena, comprehending the underworld is a unique practice method for summoners.

But there are also dangers in the process of cultivation.

If a soul encounters a powerful evil spirit on the way to the underworld, it is possible that it will be eaten.

"What are you waiting for? Go and put a mark on that piece of fog!"

Philomena sat down on a rock, swinging her legs and looking up at the moonlight.

An Nuo sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

After about three minutes, Annuo's soul left his body and a vortex appeared in front of him.

When the soul walks in, it disappears instantly.

Underworld!

A nameless place.

The charred earth was covered with cracks, from which unknown gases spewed out from time to time.

Anno's soul looked left and right cautiously, then walked towards a black fog not far away.

This is where Anno’s soul returned last time.

The evil spirit I encountered before seems to have left!

Snap!

Not long after Anno's soul ran towards the black fog, a skeleton hand suddenly stretched out from the ground where he had been.
