—Imperial Calendar, 1024 —

Creak, creak, a carriage full of goods was driving on the hard dirt road leading to the imperial capital.

"Hey, it's finally here," the coachman wearing a leather cap flicked his whip, looked at the huge city that was already visible, and said to the car: "We are so lucky that we didn't encounter any thieves on this road. Mr. Gnar."

"It's true, but you'd better not take this situation as the norm, Barton," a middle-aged man with a headband lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. "If you have a fluke, don't hire a security guard. When you really encounter a thief, you can only use your shabby swordsmanship to protect your property. No, maybe even it will be robbed."

"Of course, I will remember, Mr. Vernal," Patton replied, "Uh... how long will you stay in the imperial capital?"

"It must be longer than you short-selling," Vernal lowered the curtain: "I'll give you a piece of advice. The **** on the return journey will go to the Adventurer's Guild to officially commission. If I were a thief or a robber, you now have only pants left. ."

"Hey, that's because Mr. Vernal is a native of Storn. You only have that sword more expensive than mine." Patton shook his whip. "As a handless chicken A powerful businessman, just by taking you along the way, he can exchange for the protection of you, a powerful adventurer, which is also a profit."

"Powerful... Oh, that's something you haven't seen truly powerful—"

【His—His—】

Boom!

With a strange and piercing neigh, the road directly in front of the carriage suddenly bulged up, then burst in all directions, and then a huge monster emerged from the ground.

It looks like a lobster, but it is five or six times as tall as a carriage, and ten times as long as a carriage. It has a pair of pliers-like giant claws. It is covered with a thick brown carapace. The diamond-shaped eyes stared at the carriage, and the sharp mouthparts opened and closed, obviously hungry.

Ji Lü Lü-The driving horse turned over with the carriage, broke away from the restraint, and ran away, while Patton and Vernal jumped out of the car before that.

"Why is there a ‘earth dragon’ here?!" Barton held up an unremarkable iron sword, trembling at the huge monster.

"Compared to that, I seem to forget to ask what kind of goods you brought," Vernal put his hand on the beautiful hilt, but did not pull the sword out of its sheath, but just turned his head and glanced at the overturned goods. Box: "This kind of headless stupid can't do an ambush. It can only be attracted by something."

"That's... the kind of medicine, the one that is most in demand in the Imperial Capital..." Barton said hesitatingly.

"...When I shot, you immediately ran away." Vernal's face went dark when he heard it, but he didn't say much.

"[Ga—]" The earth dragon naturally wouldn't wait for them to chat. After coming out of the ground, he shook his head from side to side, screamed like stones rubbing, and raised a pair of big claws to rush towards Patton and Vernal.

"Drawing a knife—" Vernal roared, and suddenly drew the sword out of its sheath. It was an odd-shaped blade with a clear curvature. When it was unsheathed, it cut out a bright sword light visible to the naked eye. The dragon happened to hit the sword light, and the whole "dragon" was deadlocked.

"Okay! Mr. Vernal, give it a fatal blow! The bounty of the'first-level dangerous species' is very high!" Patton cheered on the side.

"I, no, let you run away, did you?" Vernal said word by word.

"what?"

Click-嚓!

In the next moment, with a crisp sound, the sword light that had originally imprisoned the earth dragon shattered like ice. Vernal groaned, stepped back five or six steps before regaining his footing, and immediately tried to retract the arc-shaped sword into the sword. Sheath, but because the hand has been shaking and unable to complete this action.

"Ga—" Seeming to be angry at this attack, or feel dangerous, Tulong completely ignored the carriage and Button, and rushed straight towards Vernal.

Ding! when!

Vernal failed to collect the sword into its sheath in time, so he could only use the sword to resist the parry.

This time he failed to cut out the kind of "imprisoned sword light", and was slammed back by the earth dragon's vigorous slap, causing a bleeding in his mouth and nose.

"This...this..." Patton held his sword, he wanted to rush up but didn't dare. Finally, he threw the sword away, and took out a crossbow from the overturned carriage. After the arrow was placed on the unfamiliar ground, he hit the earth dragon with an arrow. The arrow actually sank into the carapace, but the earth dragon did not respond at all.

"..." Vernal didn't have time to speak, but the irritation in his eyes well expressed the meaning of "You call yourself a businessman with no power to restrain his hands?".

Patton reloaded his arrow and pointed at Fernalby, as if he wanted him to turn the dragon around and expose his unprotected abdomen.

Vernal gritted his teeth and fought hard against the earth dragon, took it half a circle, and provided Patton with a shooting angle.

Shoo-win!

The arrow hit the earth dragon's abdomen, but this time it failed to penetrate even the carapace, and fell to the ground with a bounce.

Obviously, as a "first-level dangerous species", it has no weaknesses at all. The back and abdomen are just different carapace colors. If you have to say, maybe the two dark eyeballs can be regarded as, but with Patton's accurate head, I want him to Shooting is completely a fantasy.

Bang! Be yelling!

Vernal, who was out of balance, didn't stop him, and fell to the ground with a paw of the earth dragon, and the bizarre curved sword flew out.

"..." Button stopped the action of filling the arrow, and began to step back quietly.

Running directly will offend a powerful local adventurer. After all, if both sides run together, he must not be able to run each other, but if the adventurer is dead, then the offending will be offended.

"Saving lives, offering rewards for hunting, making a name for yourself, three birds with one stone."

On the chaotic battlefield, a clear boy sounded.

"Varied-"

Vernal didn't have time for him, but Patton clearly saw that a teenager with white clothes and black pants, brown leather boots and leather gloves, and brown shredded hair appeared behind Vernal as if walking.

Facing the earth dragon who had an overwhelming body size and aggressively rushed forward, he drew his sword dexterously, turning his whole person into a sword light that was more dazzling than Vernal, and flashed past the earth dragon's eyes.

"[Ga—Bang...]"

A large amount of blood suddenly appeared from the position of the earth dragon's eyes, and the screaming sound stopped abruptly only halfway through, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Who...who are you?" Vernal, who was still unable to get up, asked subconsciously, looking at the young man with the sword in its sheath in front of him.

"Me?" The brown-haired boy touched his nose: "My name is Tatsumi, I'm just a country boy who wants to go to the imperial capital to make his mark."
