While waiting for the arrival of the tribe leader, Li Huailin also tried to understand the situation from the civilian beside him. Of course, the other party would definitely tell Li Huailin everything he knew. Now that Little Mi was standing behind Li Huailin, he would definitely answer whatever Li Huailin asked. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Li Huailin would directly let the dragon swallow him up.
From the civilian, Li Huailin learned that the city was called Varanhill, which was also the capital city of the Cyros Kingdom. The tribe leader he mentioned earlier was actually the king of this place. It was just that he didn't address himself as king. And this country was, of course, the former Cyros Kingdom. Li Huailin didn't find the wrong person. His previous guess was correct. The trouble the city was in was indeed caused by the explosion three days ago. And it seemed like the trouble they were in wasn't as simple as the city being bombed. Just as Li Huailin was about to ask what the trouble was, a troop suddenly appeared in front of him.
Although it was said to be an army, it was obvious that there was a big difference from the army in Li Huailin's impression. This group of armed soldiers didn't wear armor at all. Everyone only wore thick fur coats, which looked very cumbersome. Judging from their physique, they probably weren't professional soldiers.
The leader of the group was an old man who was also wearing a thick fur coat. Looking at the old man's stooped body, Li Huailin felt that the old man was probably over 80 years old. He was shivering in the cold wind. Fortunately, the old man did not come in a wheelchair. At the very least, he walked over.
From the looks of it, this person should be the chief of this tribe. Li Huailin looked at his name. It showed Dilsmo, but there was no surname. He did not know if the Cyros had the tradition of having surnames. While Li Huailin was observing the old man, Dilsmo spoke.
"Honorable Dragon Knight, may I know why you're here?" Dilsmo said respectfully. After all, Little Mi was standing behind Li Huailin and supporting him. Anyone who saw such a situation would have to weigh their options.
"That's a rather new name." Li Huailin smiled. Indeed, he had been called by all sorts of names before, but Lord Dragon Knight had never heard of it before. Li Huailin didn't answer the other party's question. Instead, he asked, "I heard that you've encountered some trouble here?"
"Yes." He didn't know why Li Huailin asked this question, but he didn't intend to hide it. "Three days ago, we were suddenly attacked. We don't know where the attack came from, but the explosion destroyed half of the city. Our thermal furnace was also damaged …"
"Thermal furnace?" Li Huailin asked curiously. Of course, Dilsmo immediately explained that the reason why Varanhill could exist in this frozen land was mostly due to the existence of this thermal furnace. A large part of the city's energy came from this thermal furnace. This thing was equivalent to a power station that supplied energy to the entire city. This thing was damaged in the previous explosion, so the Cyros were really anxious.
"Without the thermal furnace, this city won't be able to function normally. Our people are facing a crisis of near annihilation," Dilsmo said. "To be honest, we're basically certain that the thermal furnace can't be repaired …"
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin was a little puzzled as to why the other party was so cooperative. After all, this was the Cyros Kingdom. In theory, they should be more vigilant when they saw outsiders coming in. After all, many people were coveting their treasures. But now, these people had no intention of hiding anything from Li Huailin. And now, he understood that these people had encountered a huge problem that they couldn't solve. Their entire families were dying, and now wasn't the time to be vigilant.
"Sir, are you here to help us?" Dilsmo asked Li Huailin as soon as he finished speaking. Yes, they were really in big trouble now. So when they saw Li Huailin, their first reaction was to ask for help. Dilsmo was being honest with Li Huailin because he hoped that Li Huailin could provide him with some help. He was really in despair now. He thought that there was no other way, but he didn't expect to hear that someone riding a dragon suddenly appeared. Dilsmo didn't know who Li Huailin was, but a person who could ride a dragon was, of course, a strong person. So, he immediately came to ask for help with a glimmer of hope.
"Huh? Are you kidding me? "Li Huailin spread his arms." I don't know you at all. Why should I help you? "
What he said made sense. Dilsmo thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you must have come here because you heard about the treasures of the Cyros Kingdom. If you can help us overcome this crisis, we are willing to hand over the treasures of the Cyros Kingdom to you."
System Notification: Dilsmo has issued an A-Rank Hidden Mission: Save the Cyros. Do you accept?
"No." Li Huailin clicked "Reject" immediately. Under normal circumstances, Li Huailin wouldn't accept such a mission. After all, to him, it was just a deduction of money and EXP. An A-Rank Hidden Mission usually wouldn't yield anything good. And now, Li Huailin didn't want to waste time. He didn't have the time to do such a thing.
"I'm not interested in ordinary treasures," Li Huailin said to Dilsmo. "Does your Cyros Kingdom have any special treasures? Like some special secret? "
Li Huailin originally wanted to find out why the Celestial King had ordered Saint Lofrey to come here. He didn't know if it had anything to do with the treasures of the Cyros Kingdom. Anyway, he wanted to find out more about the situation first.
"Special treasures?" Dilsmo obviously didn't know what Li Huailin was referring to. He was a little anxious. "If you can save our people, we will give you all the treasures."
"I've already said that I don't want ordinary treasures. If you want me to help, I can, but I want a reason." Li Huailin said. "Let's put it this way. The god you believe in should be Saint Lofrey, right?"
Dilsmo was a little surprised. But then he remembered that he saw Lin Li talking to one of his people. He guessed that was when Lin Li asked that question, so he nodded. "Yes, the ruler of the temple, Saint Lofrey, is our god."
"Did he give you anything special, like a mysterious treasure or something? He told you to hide it well and not give it to others." Li Huailin asked. "Or do you have something that he specifically mentioned, like a place or something that you can't let anyone find out about …"
"Hmm?" Dilsmo instantly became alert. Yes, there was something wrong with Li Huailin's question. It sounded like he was preparing to find trouble with the god they believed in, Saint Lofrey. Of course, in their eyes, although Li Huailin looked very strong, there was no way he could compare to a god. So, in their eyes, it was very likely that Li Huailin had been sent by another god. In other words, he was Saint Lofrey's divine enemy.
"We don't have that kind of thing here," Dilsmo replied immediately.
Dilsmo's attitude had obviously changed. Saint Lofrey's god enemy was also their enemy. Since Li Huailin was sent by Saint Lofrey, he was also an enemy. Since he was an enemy, he couldn't possibly save them, right? So, of course, Dilsmo didn't plan to continue asking for help.
"It seems like your faith in Saint Lofrey is also very deep." Li Huailin looked at their attitude and said, "In that case, facing such a situation, why don't you ask for help from the god you believe in?"
"That's none of your business," Dilsmo said immediately. Dilsmo immediately said, "The great Saint Lofrey will naturally protect his believers. Soon, Saint Lofrey will come to save us."
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded and smiled. "I think you don't have to be too nervous. I'm not a bad person. On the contrary, I'm a good person. Look, I'm just worried that the great Saint Lofrey you believe in doesn't understand your current crisis. So, haven't I already done you a huge favor?"
"Hmm?" Dilsmo looked at Li Huailin, not understanding what Li Huailin meant.
"Look, I've already sent your god Saint Lofrey to your doorstep. That's generous of me, isn't it?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Huh?" Dilsmo had no idea what Li Huailin was talking about. On the other hand, Li Huailin turned around. Just this action alone made the surrounding Cyros nervous. Of course, Li Huailin didn't attack them. Instead, he walked over to Millet's side.
"Please raise your foot." Li Huailin waved his hand at Little Amy, who immediately lifted her leg. Beneath her foot was naturally Saint Lofrey, who had been stepped on all this while. Saint Lofrey's condition wasn't good at all. She was almost in a semi-conscious state. Li Huailin didn't say anything. He pulled Saint Lofrey up with one hand and returned to Dilsmo's side.
"Come, come, come. This is your Great God Saint Lofrey. See, aren't you guys delivering yourself to our doorstep? Didn't you guys ask for help? Hurry up and ask him for help!" Li Huailin flung Saint Lofrey right in front of everyone.
Although they didn't know what Li Huailin was up to, everyone's attention was focused on the person that Li Huailin had flung out. Soon, they realized that something wasn't right. The person that Li Huailin flung out seemed to be a Cyros. And his appearance … looked a little like their god Saint Lofrey.
