Chapter 208 Finding out the source of information
"Senior, do you think what that guy said is reliable?" As soon as she went upstairs, Lulu couldn't wait to ask Jaslin.
However, Jaslin pulled up the corners of her mouth helplessly, "To be honest, it sounds similar to the little song composed by the bard."
"Ah?" Lulu couldn't hide her disappointment.
"But now that I'm here, I have to explore it myself. I guess everyone knows about the same things. The only way to learn more is—"
"Those survivors." Lilith replied thoughtfully.
The bearded man said that there were survivors in the wedding party, and the rumor about the dragon came from their mouths.
"That's right." Jaslin nodded, "Go to bed early, everyone. Tomorrow morning, we will go look for that guy."
……
"——So, the final step of this scam is here?"
Lulu whispered to Lilith, who looked speechless.
It seems that they are not the only ones who want to try their luck with the surviving knight. The group asked about the location of the knight's home and walked all the way to the outskirts of the city, only to see a long line of people.
There are even stalls and tents nearby, and inside the dark tents there are guys who claim to be psychics and can tell fortunes... It's really become a tourist attraction!
"I'm a little doubtful now." Lilith was a little desperate.
"Could it be that this is a romantic story? The dragon fell in love with the bride, so he took her away..." With nothing to do in the queue, Lulu began to use her little brain and made up a love story.
"I guess in the eyes of the dragon, that caravan of treasures looks more like a bride." Hannah didn't get enough rest and felt a little dizzy.
"It'd better not be..." Lilith had just said this when she saw someone walking out of the surviving knight's house in front of her.
Those guys were beaming with joy, looking around the team with pride. Upon closer inspection, they saw the bearded man from yesterday.
The bearded man also saw Lilith and her group and came closer again. "Miss, are you really not coming with us? We already know the exact location where the dragon appeared last..."
"No, thank you. I will just follow the arrangements made by my seniors." Lilith smiled and refused decisively.
The bearded man smacked his lips in regret, but didn't say much. He shook his head and walked out with his teammates. When he passed the end of the long team, he saw the familiar figure from yesterday again.
The bearded man rolled his eyes and complained loudly, "Tsk, I thought you were so noble, saying you weren't interested in the bounty, but you're still here."
The hooded man didn't even move, as if he had no idea that the bearded man was talking to him.
The bearded man was even more angry when he saw this, and wanted to say something else, but his companion grabbed him by the neck and took him away, "Why do you talk so much every day?! Go!"
The group walked away cursing.
When it was finally Lilith's turn, nearly an hour had passed. The people at the door seemed to be the knight's family or companions. They were impatient and wanted to close the iron gate. "Are you guys done yet--"
In response, he received a gold coin thrown into his arms.
"I'm sorry, but we just came to see the poor gentleman. If we bother you--"
"Okay, alright." The man looked at the gold coin with a towering tree printed on it in his arms and suddenly became easy to talk to.
Lilith smiled and nodded, then opened the door and walked in.
"Bell, didn't I tell you not to let anyone in anymore? I'm tired!" As soon as the door was pushed open, an impatient voice came from the bed in the room.
"Hey, Mr. Knight, are you injured anywhere? In fact, my friend is very good at treatment." Joan pulled Jaslin over with a smile.
The guy on the bed was startled by the large group of people who suddenly rushed into the room, and was very uncomfortable when the familiar girl approached him. However, he was handsome, and even though he was now in this run-down house, he still had some dashing manners.
"No need, miss, please stand further away, I just need to rest. I also want to get better quickly and look for Miss Ruvois..." The knight's face showed some anxiety and worry.
"That baron actually dares to employ you?!" Qiong's eyes were filled with surprise. He has already lost his daughter, and you're still trying to get close to him?
As a result, he was hit by Jaslin's elbow and became obedient.
骑士:… …
"I know I've failed in my duty. We just went to the river to fetch water. When we came back, it was too late..." The knight hadn't trimmed his beard for many days, and it was almost growing into a full beard.
"That means, the dragon last appeared by the river? Was it the Red Ridge River outside the city?" Jaslin pictured the nearby terrain in her mind.
"Yes, yes! Don't ask me again!" The knight covered his face in pain. Can't these guys share the news themselves? !
"You are so lucky, sir!" Jaslin was indifferent to his pain and smiled. "I heard that the dragon ate not only people but also horses. You and the others were lucky enough to escape."
"The river bank was a gentle slope away from our resting place, and it was night, so we spotted the dragon before it spotted us, so we escaped quickly...
Don't ask why you don't dare to fight bravely! If you saw the miserable state of your companions, you would make the same choice! Even so, my leg was injured in the chase! "
Jaslin's eyes flickered and she exchanged glances with another senior.
"What color is the dragon, sir?" Jaslin blinked curiously.
"I don't remember clearly..."
"Ten carriages, sir." Jaslin smiled. "Even if it was a dragon, it would be impossible to move them all in one trip. Didn't you see it clearly once?"
"...Black, it should be black. Think about it, we can only see his lower abdomen, and it's dark!"
"Then its belly must be white. I remember reading in a book that the scales on a dragon's belly are the weakest..." Jaslin pondered.
“It seems to be... That’s right, it’s black on top and white on the bottom! It can also breathe fire! With a pair of wings spread out, it covers the sky and even blocks out the moonlight!” There was fear in the knight’s eyes.
Jaslin stopped talking. Lilith looked at this senior who was always rational, but saw that she was frowning and thinking.
"Then it must have flown away along the river in the end?" Joan touched her chin and made a bold guess.
"No, it flew eastwards. That direction is the Jangorod Mountains. Its nest must be there. I recently heard from visitors that before the Holy War, Ruvasburg was the nest of a giant dragon. Maybe, maybe it was taking revenge on us for occupying its home—"
Joan exclaimed, but Jaslin had already stood up and stopped listening to his story. "I wish you all the best, sir."
After saying this, she gave everyone a look, and they followed her and left.
"That Jangrod Crater isn't close to here." Lulu opened the map and frowned. "If we hire a carriage, we should be able to get there before school starts—"
"Why hire a carriage?" Jaslin's face fell as she left the knight's house. She glared at her partner Joan again, scaring Joan so much that she shrank behind Lilith.
"I told you you were unreliable, but you insisted on coming! And you made these little guys suffer with us." Jaslin pulled Joan out from behind Lilith and scolded her harshly.
It would have been fine if it was just them, but Qiong had instigated so many younger generations to follow them on such a hard journey for several days, which made Jaslin feel very embarrassed.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Seeing them like this, Lilith's heart, which had been lifted all the way, slowly sank.
Jaslin turned her head——
"It's fake. That guy lied. He definitely has never seen a dragon."
