Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

On the top of the hill, there is a huge lump, which very majesticly shows what kind of animal bones this pile is.

Eugeo thought it was a skull.It has hollow eye sockets and slender nostrils, and there are long horn-like protrusions on the back, and there are countless sharp sword-like teeth in the protruding jawbone.

"What is this..." Zero frowned.

"White Dragon's... bone?" Alice whispered, "Is it dead...?"

"Well...but, the cause of its death is not simple."

As Kirito said, he took a few steps forward and picked up the huge claw that should be the white dragon's front foot from his feet.

He braced what appeared to be a rather heavy paw with both hands and showed it to the other two.

"Look... there are many scars on it, and the front end of the claw has been completely cut off."

"Is there a fight with something...? But there are some creatures that can kill dragons..." Eugeo was puzzled

Speaking of the northern white dragon, it should be one of the world's strongest kind guardians who live in the mountains at the end of the world and protect humans from the forces of darkness.

What kind of creature could kill it...?

"This is not a scar left from fighting with wild beasts or other dragons." Kirito said calmly with his thumb across the blue claw.

At this time, Zero also came up, with a calm face, looking at the scars and said casually: "It's very simple, these scars are all severed by sharp knives, either made by humans, or made by other creatures that can use weapons. "

"But, but... even Bercouli, who won the championship in the Central Capital Imperial Tournament, had no choice but to flee..."

Having said that, Alice suddenly fell silent as if remembering something.Then the icy lake, which had become a huge tomb, was temporarily shrouded in silence.

A few seconds later, a murmur full of awe flowed from her petite lips: "... Integrity knights...? Did the integrity knights of the Axiom Church kill the white dragon...?"

The Integrity Knight, who is the spokesperson of law and order, will kill the White Dragon, who is also the symbol of goodness and the guardian of the human world.

Eugeo has never doubted the structure of the world in his 11 years of life so far. For him, this is really an unacceptable idea.

After suffering for a while because of this hard-to-swallow and chewable question, he turned his eyes to the side, which has always been a dual responsibility of intelligence and force, as if looking for an answer.

"Two possibilities... One, as Alice said, was beheaded by integrity knights or other powerful people. Although the white dragon is on the side of justice, it is not absolutely helping humans, just like Bercouli took the sword , it was angry and attacked him... maybe someone accidentally provoked the white dragon, and the white dragon attacked him, but he was too strong and killed the white dragon..."

"Then... what about the second possibility?" Alice asked, and the other two friends also looked at Zero.

Every time around this time, Zero, who usually doesn’t look like a mountain or dew, except for being too good-looking, who is no different from ordinary children, will show a different side...

"The second possibility is probably being killed by a powerful creature from the Kingdom of Darkness that can use weapons." The retailer sighed, "Well, I'm talking nonsense, it's just a guess."

"Could it be that someone killed the white dragon in order to take away its treasure?" Eugeo asked.

This time, before waiting for Zero's answer, Kirito shook his head first and said: "It shouldn't be..."

With that said, he walked to the side of the dragon's remains, and silently put the claws back on the bone mountain.Conversely, he drew some elongated object from the bottom of the mountain.

"Hmm... so heavy..." He staggered and dragged the thing in his hand for about a mel, and then showed it to several others.

It was a long sword with a white leather scabbard and a silver hilt.The hilt is also inlaid with delicate blue rose patterns, making it more valuable than any other sword in the village.

"Ah... Could this be..." Alice widened her eyes and whispered.

Zero stepped forward to stroke the long sword, and then said with a smile, "The Blue Rose Sword, the one that Bercouli wanted to steal... probably."

"But why didn't the guy who killed the dragon take it away..." Kirito said and bent down, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands to pick it up from the ground, but he could only lift the sword with all his strength. Lift off the ice about a fist's height.

"...I can't do it anymore!" Kirito let go of his hands after a loud cry, and the long sword fell to the ground again with a heavy sound.

Judging from the small cracks in the thick ice, this seemingly slender sword seemed to have an unimaginable weight.

"...What should I do with this thing?" Eugeo asked, and his partner who stood up shook his head lightly.

"The three of us were screaming with the ax that chopped down the tree. Even if we carried it together, we couldn't bring it back. But... there seems to be a lot of treasures under the bones..."

"...Well, but I don't want to take anything..." Alice said.

"Then don't take it." Zero got up and folded his arms, saying indifferently.

Zero's indifferent voice made the other two nod at the same time.

If you can sneak a little loot home without waking up the white dragon, this time it's an adventure to show off to the other kids, but if you take the treasure from this place now, they will become grave robbers - At least Kirito and Eugeo thought so.

As for Zero - he just thinks it's a little treasure, and it's not worth making friends feel uncomfortable for this little thing.

"Then let's go back with only ice cubes according to the original plan. The White Dragon probably won't care." After Eugeo finished speaking, he immediately approached the icicles next to him, and then used his shoes to touch the countless icicles protruding like sprouts at the bottom. Tiny ice crystals kicked away.

Then Eugeo picked up the ice cubes that shattered with a crisp sound and handed them to Alice. The girl opened the lid of the empty rattan basket and put the ice cubes in.

For a while, several people silently kicked the icicles and stuffed the ice pieces into the rattan baskets.

When the crystals at the bottom of the icicle are clear, they move on to the next icicle and repeat the same action.

In less than a few minutes, the big rattan basket was already filled with crystals like blue transparent gems.

"Hey..." Alice, who raised the rattan basket with the shouts, began to focus on the group of light spots on her arm.

"...It's so beautiful. I always feel that it's a pity to take them home and let them melt."

"As long as our bento can be preserved for a longer period of time, their sacrifice will not be in vain."

Alice scowled at Kirito's realistic statement, and quickly brought the basket in front of the black-haired boy.

"Hey, do you want me to take it back?"

"Needless to say, it's very heavy."

"Then why don't you let Zero come and get it!"

"Then needless to say, Zero has the best skills, and Zero can protect me at any time when I encounter danger when I go back—"

"Huh? You are too arrogant..."

"Humph!"

At this time, Ling sighed, stepped forward to take the basket, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll take it, Tongren has already worked very hard when I came here."

Kirito looked at Zero and scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "Well, I'm just saying, it's fine if I hold it."

"If you don't leave, you may not be able to return to the village before evening!" Eugeo also said.

"Hmm... I don't know the time when I can't see Solus. Is there any magic in the sacred art that can tell us the current time?"

"It's not—!" Alice quickly turned her face away, looking at the small visible exit on the other side of Miguang Lake.
