Great Elf Sage

It originally took Simon two months to get deep into the center of the Broken Tooth Mountains, but when he returned, it only took him more than half a month to return to the place where he entered the Broken Tooth Mountains. .biquge

The corpse of the strange creature that was cut in half by Simon's sword was still in its original position, but it had become incomplete and full of traces of wild beasts.

Simon looked down at the long sword on his waist that had not been unsheathed for more than half a month. He felt calm. He had already thought about and worried about what he should be thinking about and worrying about for more than half a month. What he should do now is his top priority. The best thing is to return to Stuart City quickly.

"It took three months before arriving from Stuart to the Broken Tooth Mountains, two months to penetrate into the Broken Tooth Mountains, and more than half a month to come out of the Broken Tooth Mountains. In other words, is it close to half a year... "Simon was thinking in his mind.

"I left secretly after disguising myself. Except for Mr. Arnold and the eldest lady, no one knew that I left Stuart City! However, after all, it has been nearly half a year. After all, the fact that the martial arts master has been missing for half a year should have been reported. opened!"

Thinking of this, Simon felt a little anxious, stopped staying, and started to move towards Stuart City with all his strength.

The Broken Tooth Mountain Range has a dangerous environment and complex terrain. Even with Simon's current strength, it would take him more than half a month to get out. But it was different after coming out. Except for the torrent plains, the terrain from here to Stuart City was flat, and Simon could accelerate with all his strength.

Simon kicked his feet hard, and a shallow pit with a diameter of half a meter was stepped on the ground. The whole person rushed into the air about ten meters ahead with an acceleration faster than the flying speed of an eagle. Under the action of inertia, It continued to move forward in a parabolic trajectory for a certain distance before falling heavily to the ground.

Simon landed on one foot, used a running posture as a landing movement, rushed forward for about ten meters without stopping, and then continued to jump...

……

Half a month later, Simon had arrived at a small village on the Stuart border.

To outsiders, this is just a small village, but Simon knows that this is a Stuart 'outpost'.

The situation in Stuart City is not very good. As the former leader of the Federation of Radiance, Stuart is now surrounded by traitors. In terms of trade and academic exchanges, Stuart is being used by the kings who established their kingdoms on the corpse of the Federation of Radiance. If they had not wanted to make things look too ugly and be wary of the neutral city-states who had joined forces to suppress him, those kingdoms would have sent large armies to crush Stuart.

There will be no big conflicts, but there will be no shortage of small conspiracies. Therefore, in order to be wary of sneak attacks by those with evil intentions, Stuart City disguised some of its soldiers as farmers and lived in some small neutral villages a little away from Stuart City.

Some villages, after years of operation, are all Stuarts inside and out. This kind of special village is called an 'outpost' by insiders, and the village in front of you is such an 'outpost'. .

Walking into the village, Simon saw team leader Cole, the 'village chief', sitting under the shade of a striking tree in the small square with a stiff expression.

At this time, Simon just wanted to know the news about Stuart City quickly, so he walked up quickly to talk to Cole, without noticing the anxiety and hints in his eyes.

"Cole, I'm back! How is Stuart City?"

Cole was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat. He looked around and said:

"Oh, it's Mike. Long time no see. Are you back from hunting? It seems like you haven't gained much these days..."

"What are you talking about, Cole? It's me, Simon Hughes. I'm back. Tell me the news about Stuart City!" Simon said loudly.

"Alas..." Cole's expression fell, and his eyes revealed despair.

Just when Simon was about to say something, a feminine voice came from behind.

"Oh haha~ Sure enough, Mr. Stuart City's martial arts chief will definitely come to this 'outpost' first!"

This is the popular tone of voice among traitors who claim to be nobles!

Only then did Simon realize that something was wrong. He turned around suddenly and saw a disgustingly familiar pale face.

Valentin Hughes!

This man is Simon's half-brother, the current lord of Alva City who came to power through patricide, and is also one of the first traitors in the southern city-state to betray Stuart, Valentine.

"Valentin, what are you doing here!" Simon asked in a dangerous tone.

"Huhu, what are you doing? Oh~ With your wisdom, my stupid brother, you still can't guess what happened until now, oh hehe..." Valentin looked happy, he liked to mock himself the most The younger brother is full of muscles, although he doesn't realize that he is not much smarter either.

"Hmph! Valentine, at this time you should have your men swarm up and knock me down instead of appearing in person and getting so close to me!"

"you……"

Before Valentine could finish speaking, Simon rushed to him in one stride, pinched Valentine's neck with his left hand and lifted him up.

In fact, when he heard Valentine's voice, Simon knew that he had made a mistake in his impatience that could not reveal his identity easily, and he also guessed that Stuart City was probably in danger. The reason why he pretended not to understand the situation and talked to Valentine was because he was using the vitality and dragon blood power in his body to sense how many enemies were around him.

Over the past month or so, Simon has become thoroughly familiar with the power of dragon blood given by Nolan, and has developed many practical uses on his own.

"Put down the Lord of the City!"

"Simon! Are you going to kill the nobles?"

"Hurry up and put Lord Valentine down! Even Simon can't bear the charge of killing a city lord!"

A dozen well-equipped knights rushed out from the surrounding hiding places.

"Charge? You are going to go to war with Stuart, why should I care what charge you give me!" Simon sneered. I thought that as soon as they discovered that they were missing, these traitors were like ants that smelled food, and they couldn't wait to attack Stuart City!

Lord Arno alone cannot resist these guys. He must return to Stuart City as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Simon had no intention of talking nonsense to these people anymore. He exerted force on his hands, and a crisp sound came from Valentine's neck, and his struggling body suddenly became silent.

"S-Simon, you..." Cole, the captain of the outpost, was shocked. In his impression, Simon was not such a reckless person.

"Lord City Lord!"

"Lord Valentine!"

The expressions of those knights changed drastically. The city lord was dead, and even if he went back, he would not be able to avoid being imprisoned, and would even be in danger of his life.

Seeing these crazy knights rushing toward him, Simon felt very bored. These people could still pose a threat to him before, but after experiencing the difficulties and dangers of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range and the dragon slaying incident, this kind of battle is really a bit childish in his eyes now.

What's more, I still have the power of dragon blood given by Mr. Nolan!

With a slight squeeze of his raised left hand, Simon's pupils instantly turned into khaki vertical pupils mixed with blood.

The strange lines inside and outside the body began to glow with blood, an unspeakable powerful force began to reverberate, and yellow light spots began to diffuse around Simon's body.

This scene shocked everyone present, and the steps of the knights slowed down.

Simon's eyes became sharp in an instant, and his whole person turned into an afterimage. When these knights were looking for themselves, they appeared behind the most powerful person among them. Before the person could react, Simon punched him. in the carapace.

The person who was hit by the punch was thrown into the air by the impact and hit the other person in front. The two of them fell on a boulder and became silent.

Seeing this horrifying scene, the remaining knights stopped approaching Simon, but Simon didn't care so much and continued to rush towards the next person...

A moment later, the ground in the small square in the center of the village was covered with Simon's footprints and a dozen twisted knight corpses. Only Simon and team leader Cole were still standing.

"Simon, you, your strength?" Cole has been shocked ever since Simon killed Valentin, but what shocked him the most was Simon's current strength and the strange phenomenon on Simon's body when he fought just now.

"Oh, well, I have gained something in the Broken Tooth Mountains... Don't talk about this right now, tell me about the situation in Stuart City!" Simon didn't explain too much. He was eager to know about Stuart City. Matt's situation.

"...I learned from Valentine that the troops sent out this time were from several city-states in the south and east near Stuart City. I was originally wondering why the four kingdoms finally decided to send troops here regardless of their face. It turned out that it was The rumors about your absence, Simon, are true." Cole described the situation this time.

"I secretly went to the Broken Tooth Mountains on orders from Lord Arno and the eldest lady. I didn't expect those traitors to get the news so quickly... By the way, how many vitality warriors did they dispatch this time?" Simon asked.

"This is the key to this problem! Although I don't know the specific number, the ones I know include the wolf knight Miles and the frost swordsman Winston. Both of them are the same as Lord Arno and Simon. The three-dimensional warrior, it is even said that an elder took action... Ah! By the way, Simon, what is your current strength..." Cole said, suddenly remembering Simon's overwhelming feeling when he faced more than a dozen knights just now... The power of sex.

Simon didn't know what level of strength he had now, so he had to follow Nolan's general statement and said: "Well, I have been promoted to the elder level."

"This, this is really great!" Cole was very excited.

"As for the elder level, coupled with the magical magic of Lord Arno and the eldest lady, we can barely compete with them in terms of high-end combat power this time, as long as..."

Before Cole could finish speaking, Simon interrupted him.

"Hmph, it won't be that simple this time. Since those kingdoms have already sent troops to their subordinate city-states regardless of their shame, they will definitely be fully prepared. There will definitely be more than just these people taking action this time!"

"Then, what should I do?" Cole felt that the way forward was bleak.

Simon ignored him, but felt the tremors in his body caused by the battle just now. It was the dragon blood in his body cheering and longing for the battle.

Simon realized that the way he acted just now was very different from his past self. In the past, even if Simon had an advantage in strength, he would definitely make a decision before taking action, and would not be so reckless as to choose to fight head-on with multiple enemies whose strength was unknown.

"Is it because of the changes in the way of thinking brought about by the improvement of strength? Or is it because of the influence of dragon blood?" Simon pondered.

"It doesn't matter anymore, the top priority now is to return to Stuart City immediately!"
