lord and his dragon

It is the end of summer now, and the sun is still scorching the earth. A man in a hurry is walking on the road.

He has disheveled hair, is wearing dirty leather armor, and has a machete on his waist. His muscles are thick and tall, and his exposed skin is full of large and small scars. Twisted and terrifying, with a strong murderous look all over his body, anyone who takes a look at him will definitely feel weak in his legs.

Luke glanced at the looming town and the marginal forest behind it, with a ferocious smile on his face.

He's almost there, unmistakably, the city next to the Marginal Forest - the Borderlands, a colony of chaos and violence, a sanctuary for robbers, a haven for thugs, as long as he enters the Borderlands, he Will be free forever, no longer have to face annoying wanted and frightening hunts!

Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help speeding up his progress again.

Despite the exhausting trek, Luke arrived at his dream sanctuary in the afternoon, exhausted but full of hope for his future.

However, just after entering the land of no man, Luke vaguely felt that this place did not seem to be consistent with the place he imagined.

Although it is different from ordinary towns, there are no guards and patrolling guards, but isn't it too orderly and tidy?

There were no disputes, no fights, although there were indeed many tall, not easy to mess with guys walking on the road, but people all looked accustomed to it, doing their own things calmly, no different from the outside city - no, It's not without any difference, it looks much more stable here than outside, at least Luke hasn't even seen a single pickpocket since he entered here.

The road was clean, no vomit, no urine stains, the air was filled with the aroma of food and vegetation, and there was no smell of tobacco, wine or blood at all. Luke even saw a man taller and stronger than himself walking on the road. Bow to a skinny woman to pay for her bread!

Can you believe it? !pay!In a place like Borderlands? !

Luke was in a daze. He almost thought he had found the wrong place, but he looked up again. The marginal forest was indeed not far away, and he could see it clearly with only one eye. The nearest tree can't be wrong, this is the land of no man!

The expression on Luke's face gradually became ferocious. He strode forward, and the completely different scene from what he expected made him flustered and angry, so that he couldn't look at the road carefully, and bumped into someone else.

Luke immediately raised his head and wanted to give that man a good lesson, to vent his aggrievedness and anger, but he didn't expect that standing in front of him was a man who was two heads taller than him, with hair all over his body, with a Orcs with beast heads!

Orcs! ! !Shouldn't this kind of thing be well-placed in Borderlands? !Why did you suddenly run outside!

Luke had killed many ordinary people, but he had never seen such a monster. He froze in place and his eyes widened in horror.

The orc also had a huge ax on his back. If he took the weapon off, he could split Luke in half with just one blow, but he was in a hurry, as if there was something else to do, so he could only He glared at Luke angrily, growled threateningly at him, and then walked away quickly.

Luke recovered his life. He was both scared and grateful, but he was still confused about the situation here. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the tavern to inquire about the news.

According to the word of mouth of their group of desperadoes, the tavern in Borderlands is the most ecstatic place in the world, where there are casual women, exciting gambling games, bloody battles, and , as long as you are strong enough, the waiter in the tavern will tell you all the news you want to know, not only about Borderlands, but even any information about the outside world.

Luke feels that he cannot be called the strongest, but at least he is qualified to ask what is going on in Borderlands and why it is so different from the rumors!

Fortunately, the taverns in each city are not very different. Luke quickly found his destination. In order to show his strength, he did not push the door, but raised his leg and kicked the whole door down. On the ground, then walked into the tavern murderously in the dust.

It wasn't a small space, but it wasn't as noisy and chaotic as Luke imagined. No one was even looking for faults. Everyone was sitting or standing, looking down at their hands while drinking. Women do have something, but they are all wearing armor and carrying weapons, and they look very difficult to mess with.

Before Luke came in, many people were talking to each other in low voices, but after the door fell, everyone fell silent and looked at Luke at the door in unison.

□□ was quiet, and those gazes were weird, like needle pricks, making Luke feel uncomfortable all over, but when he glanced over, those people lowered their heads again and looked at the paper in their hands again.

It's just a bunch of cowards who dare not even look him in the eye, Luke thought disdainfully in his heart.

He was too eager to clarify the doubts in his heart, and he didn't realize that the group of people didn't avoid his eyes, but focused on the paper in his hand after seeing his face clearly, and he strode to the bar , squeezed away the woman who was standing here talking to the waiter, slapped the wooden tabletop, and looked murderously at the waiter standing there bartending.

The waiter was not disturbed by his rude behavior, but raised his head lazily, glanced at him, and said slowly, "What do you want to drink?"

Luke sneered and said, "I don't drink anything, I'll ask you some questions."

Hearing this, the waiter rolled his eyes and said, "Ask."

Luke didn't expect the rumored bartender to admit his strength so easily, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He grinned and asked triumphantly, "Tell me what happened in Borderlands?"

"Borderless Land?" The waiter smiled and said, "I really miss this name... Borderlands is no longer there, it's gone."

Luke never expected to hear this answer, and the whole person was stunned in place. After a long time, he came back to life, gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck your shit! Borderlands is gone?! You Damn, open your eyes and see, the land of no man is gone, what is this place?!"

The expected happy life was broken, and Luke was going crazy. Fear and panic spread in his heart. He nervously pointed to the west through the wall and shouted: "That's the fucking place over there!" Boundary forest! I could see clearly when I came here! Clearly!"

He emphasized loudly: "The city next to the marginal forest is no man's land!"

The waiter glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and said, "This is not a land without an owner..."

Luke is like a taut string now, and just exerting a little force on him can make him collapse. Hearing what the waiter said, he is almost going crazy, and he refuses to believe that his running around is useless. Immediately pounced on the bar like a beast.

Finally, a hint of panic appeared on the waiter's face. He glanced dissatisfiedly at the guests in the tavern, and said loudly: "Ah! I see! Have you been wandering outside for a long time and have never been in any city?" Ask for news?"

When Luke heard this, he couldn't help but stop trying to climb into the bar, and stared at the waiter with his only remaining eye.

True enough, he hadn't been in any city for three years.

The waiter smiled knowingly, and said, "I didn't lie to you, this place used to be an unowned land, but now it has an owner, and the name has been changed."

Luke was stunned and said in disbelief, "What?!"

The waiter said, "This is Gaydon, the back garden of the Dragon Lord."

At this time, a young man among the tavern guests behind Luke shouted excitedly: "I found it! Luke Owen, killed eight people, escaped for three years, and the bounty—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the woman who was pushed away by Luke but had been standing beside him immediately pulled out her weapon and swung it at Luke who didn't understand what happened at all.

The other people in the tavern immediately screamed and rushed towards this side.

And it wasn't until someone scrambled to cut off his head that Luke realized in a daze that the land of no man had become the city "Gaedon", so what would this "tavern" be now.

This is the task point created by the Adventurer's Union in the city of Gaydon. All commissions and rewards will be posted here, and the people in the tavern are all energetic adventurers. They may come for other tasks, but Nobody minds earning a nice bounty for justice.

The waiter sighed, and took the cloth bag containing Luke's head from the triumphant woman in front of him under the unwilling eyes of other adventurers, and handed her another bag full of bounties, and recorded it in his account book. Her and Luke's names.

He straightened the clothes he had just crumpled in the chaos, and before the woman dragged Luke's headless body out the door, he announced loudly: "Luke Owen's bounty is complete-and, Can you stop waiting here, there are so many fugitives running here every day, I messed up the tavern!"

I don't know who shouted: "It's not quite a lot, it's only the seventh one this month!"

So everyone burst into laughter, as if the man named Luke Owen had never appeared before, and no one mentioned him again. The adventurers were looking for quests, and those who drank continued to drink.

The waiter shook his head helplessly, and sorted out the ledger in his hand. He had recently completed a lot of commissions and rewards, so he should report to the lord.
