The "Mark of the Dragon Slayer" was obtained by Roddy when he first met Merlinsera. When Roddy killed the Frost Dragon Wissam, all the members of the Dragon Lance Knights received this mark, known as the "Dragon's Curse". It was very powerful. It could increase a person's attributes by 30%, make them immune to most mental spells, and increase all resistance by 100 points.
But the price was also very high. The reputation of the Dragons would be reduced by 3000 points. At the same time, within a range of ten kilometers, the dragons could sense the presence of the owner of the mark.
This meant that if a Dragon sensed Roddy's presence, there was a 99% chance that they would come to him directly. Apart from Merlinsera, none of the other dragons would have a good impression of the "Dragon Slayer".
But what worried Roddy more now was … the Dragons that would come to him would definitely not be the Shadow Dragons. And if they encountered Merlinsera, would they open fire without hesitation?
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed that the consequences would not be good no matter what choice he made. There was no need to think about fighting a Dragon head-on. Although Merlinsera had the strength of a Level 40 Dragon, any adult Dragon would basically be able to crush her. As for Roddy himself … it was definitely too late to run now.
But Roddy's greatest strength was that he could still remain calm like a machine in an emergency. After countless thoughts flashed through his mind, he first made a "pause" gesture at Luther, who had a strange look on his face. Then, he grabbed Merlinsera's wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't panic! You are a human now, understand? "
Merlinsera was still a little dazed. She had almost lost half of her life after being hunted by the Dragons for the past few years, and the trauma in her heart was unimaginable. So, when she realized that the Dragons would come to her, her mental defenses almost collapsed. But after hearing Roddy's words, she finally recovered from her blind panic. She took a deep breath and confirmed, "Without the Dragon Crystal, my appearance has changed a lot. They won't be able to recognize me. After all, in history, no Dragons have ever done this …"
Roddy heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he quickly thought about the reason why the Dragons were here. His gaze quickly rested on the wound on Luther's arm, and he suddenly recalled what Merlinsera had said when they were talking about the past.
"… Every time I activate the spell formation he left behind, the magical wave it emits will immediately attract the other Dragons in the vicinity to hunt me down."
Merlinsera's father was studying demons, so the demonic aura released by the formation would attract the Dragons!
Only then did Roddy slap his head, regretting that he had overlooked such an important point. He could now confirm that the Dragons were attracted by Luther's demonic bloodline. They were obviously not here for him or Merinsera, but for Teflin!
Roddy frowned and suddenly reached out to touch his chest. When he felt the Shadow Dragon Crystal that he always wore through the leather armor, he immediately clenched his fist. "I have an idea!"
"… I can feel their aura. There might be three of them. What should we do?"
Merlinsera could not stay calm at this moment. Three giant dragons meant that they were absolutely overpowered. She could not even think about escaping now.
Rody dragged Merinsera to the side and lowered his voice even further. "If they come looking for us later, don't hide the reason why we're here, understand?"
He did not expect to fool a dragon that was hundreds or even thousands of years old with just a few words.
"I know, but my identity …"
"What name did you use when you were learning magic under Crohn's tutelage?"
"Merlinsera Otillett."
"Okay, then just tell me your surname. Don't mention your first name."
Although the name "Merlinsera" had the same name in the Kingdom of Karen, Roddy definitely wanted to avoid all risks. His mind became clearer and clearer. He continued, "I am a noble of the Kingdom of Karen. I have specially asked you to come here to stop Augustine's conspiracy, understand?"
"I understand …"
Merlinsera clenched her teeth in confirmation. She was still a little panicked because what Roddy said seemed to have nothing to do with solving the problem. But there was no time to think too much now. Less than ten seconds after she nodded, the monstrous aura had already appeared in her range of detection.
There was no exaggerated dragon roar, no loud footsteps. Roddy and Merlinsera did not even notice any movement outside the house. The closed door of the manor was pushed open without warning.
"Bang!"
The wooden door was heavy and huge, but it seemed to be weightless in the hands of the person who pushed it open. The hallway of the hall was five or six meters long. Scattered footsteps could be heard on the smooth marble floor. Roddy took a slow breath and made a "quiet" gesture to Merlinsera and Luther in the house. Then he turned around and looked at the figures who walked into the meeting hall.
The one in front seemed to be an older High Elf. He was tall and thin with red hair. He was dressed in a short suit that was also High Elf style. His pupils were like a burning flame in the dim room, emitting an orange glow. He had a gray goatee on his chin. His face was long and narrow, and his eyes were cold and emotionless.
Behind him was a woman with gray hair. She was also a High Elf. Her blue and white Magician robe was unusually gorgeous. The shoulders were decorated with extremely pure white ice crystals. Her face and figure were both one in a million. Her eyes were mesmerizing when she blinked, but the coldness she exuded made people want to stay away from her.
The last person was a bald young man wearing a white robe. His expression was a little blank, as if his facial features were carved. His eyes didn't even move when he walked into the room.
Although he didn't say anything, the aura coming from him was really terrifying. Elder Luther felt his legs tremble uncontrollably, and he couldn't even stand up. Meanwhile, Roddy and Merlinsera stood up and stood in front of the group. They had a look of mutual "surprise" on their faces.
"Elson City Lord Roddy of the Kingdom of Karen greets you."
"Otillett of the Crown of Ice, disciple of Crohn of Crohn of the Kingdom of Karen greets you, masters."
This kind of greeting was actually very particular. As a noble, Roddy could only address them as masters. Merlinsera, on the other hand, was a high-level Magician. She naturally addressed them as "master" according to the rules of Magicians.
So when she spoke, she first confirmed her identity as a human Magician.
"Heh, Crown of Ice, you sure talk big."
The gray-haired woman sneered. Obviously, as a Frost Dragon, she was quite dissatisfied with such an exaggerated nickname from a human.
"It's useless for you to bring out Crohn's name. I just want to know one thing now."
