The inn in Whiterun was crowded with people.
In fact, as soon as he arrived at the city, he heard some bad news. The monsters in the nearby wilderness seemed to have gone mad. They were migrating en masse, and all the roads southeast of Whiterun were blocked by the monsters. All kinds of creatures living in the plains and hills had migrated to human areas, causing the fighting around Whiterun to escalate. Even the army stationed nearby had been dispatched to patrol outside the city.
The Adventurer's Guild even issued a B-rank investigation mission, offering 12000 Kindler Coins as a reward to hire people to find out the cause of the migration.
There was no need to solve this problem.
Just finding out the reason for the migration of so many creatures could get a reward of 12000 Gold Derahls.
Unfortunately, the results were not good.
The first few groups of adventurers who set out could not even enter the Black Swamp. They were beaten back by a group of ogres.
Adventurers who dared to accept a B-rank mission were not ordinary people. The whole group was made up of high-grade professions above Grade 3, and there was even a native wizard among them. However, such a strong group of adventurers had to retreat with two dead and three injured. They encountered a group of ogres, but that was not the main problem. The challenge level of ogres was not high, but there was a two-headed ogre among them.
And it was a two-headed ogre wizard!
The ogre's multi-casting skills killed the spellcasters in the adventurers' group, and it commanded the ogres to surround them. In the end, only three of them managed to escape with some items. They also saw huge footprints on the way back. Some people suspected that the Mountain Giants in the southwest had been driven here by something. The other group of adventurers might have been wiped out.
More than a hundred caravans were blocked in Whiterun.
Some of the more heavily armed caravans tried to pass through from another direction, but they encountered a large group of gnolls (150-300 of them). Less than one-tenth of them survived. Now, half of Whiterun's roads had been sealed off. Other than the road from where Soran came from, all roads leading to Autumnfall and the sea were occupied by all kinds of monsters.
Goblins, Kobolds, Gnolls, Ogres, Lizardmen, etc.
It was as if there was some terrifying existence that had chased out all the creatures in the southern region near the Domore Mountains.
There were already rumors that a dragon had appeared there.
It was a pity.
No one had been able to bring back accurate information, and no one had actually seen the figure of the dragon.
…
A muddy road.
Søren held Vivian in his arms as they walked through the dirty streets. The traveling horses were left in the horse market. As there were too many caravans in Whiterun, all the hotels in the city were full. Even if they were to pay twice the price, it was still difficult to find a place to stay in the city. In this era, foreigners were often discriminated against. Søren had no choice but to bring Vivian to the old district (the slums). More and more caravans were stopped in Whiterun. Unless they were willing to return, they could only wait for the trade route to be reopened.
This was bad news for Søren!
This was because his original route had been cut off by these migrating monsters. If he was the only one taking the risk, it should be a relatively easy thing to do.
However, if Vivian was involved, it would be very troublesome. Søren could not guarantee that he could take care of her in the event of a battle.
An Ancient Red Dragon.
This was the first thought that popped into Søren's mind.
Because the existence that could control so many monsters, except for adult dragons, Soran really couldn't think of anything else.
Moreover, the center of the monsters' expulsion was similar to the location where the Ancient Red Dragon appeared in Søren's memory.
Because the speed of information transmission in this world was relatively slow, if Whiterun slowly found someone to investigate the reason for the monsters' outbreak, it would coincide with the time of the Ancient Red Dragon's appearance. This dragon had been ravaging the South for more than two years, and countless people had died in its hands. It was also cunning enough to disguise itself as a normal Red Dragon. It was not until the players deduced that its level was much higher that everyone knew that it was an Ancient Red Dragon with a Challenge Rating of 25.
If it hadn't provoked a Saint during the Time of Troubles, there wouldn't have been anyone in the entire Southern Region who could have killed it!
"Ancient Red Dragon [Dragon] (Grade Seven).
Challenge Rating: 25, Monster Level: 34, Super Dragon Breath
Estimated Attributes: Strength 42, Dexterity 10, Constitution 35, Intelligence 25, Wisdom 24, Charm 24
Special Abilities: Ancient Dragon, Legendary Magic, Giant Creature, Super Dragon Breath???
"Difficulty: S +."
…
These were some of the attributes of the Ancient Red Dragon in Søren's memory.
Its Challenge Rating was the same as that of a Lesser Deity. The only difference was that it did not have a Divinity or Divinity. It only had the Strength bonus of an Ancient Dragon. There was once a person who wanted to rely on human wave tactics to kill it, but in the end, dozens of people were killed by a single dragon wing strike, and hundreds of people were killed by a single dragon breath. This directly cut off the idea of relying on human wave tactics to kill it.
Even so, there were still people who wanted to sneak in because all the wealth of the Ancient Red Dragon was stored inside.
There were more than five million Kindler, various rare items, and at least ten legendary items. As for Divine Artifacts, they were rarely found in the outside world unless the deity who created them had fallen. Otherwise, even the Ancient Red Dragon might not have the right to own them. Therefore, there was no way to confirm whether there were any Divine Artifacts in the dragon's den.
The only thing that was certain was …
There were indeed people who entered the dragon's den through harassment and obtained one or two legendary items.
This was the key to successfully slaying a deity!
Søren was only level 5 at the moment. Without the buff of Fear Resistance, he could not even stand in front of the Ancient Red Dragon.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to think of using the Ancient Red Dragon, but the problem was that the monsters blocked the way, and he could not bring Vivian to Autumnfall. The Red Dragon had been entrenched for a long time, which meant that the road would be blocked for a long time unless the others killed all the monsters that were forced to migrate.
Otherwise, Søren could only rely on himself to cross the White Horse Plain.
The inn was in a hubbub.
Søren carried Vivian into the inn. There were adventurers with swords and knives everywhere, and there were also some small caravans.
"Those damned Jackalans!"
A strong man slammed his wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice, "They ate Miyad just like that. When I finally found his body, I couldn't even put his head and neck together."
Almost all the adventurers were complaining.
This sudden attack caught everyone off guard. Some of the villages that were built by humans near the Black Swamp had been forced to migrate.
This was because the Lizardmen living in the swamp had begun to attack frequently!
Some kind of terrifying existence forced them to leave the swamp, and they needed a new place to live, so the humans that originally lived nearby became their enemy.
A drunken figure stumbled towards Søren.
"I'm sorry!"
When he bumped into Søren, a hand nimbly reached for his money pouch. But before the hand could touch the pouch, Søren frowned and instantly grabbed the thief's wrist. Then he twisted his hand and flipped the thief to the ground. At the same time, he lifted his foot and stepped on the thief's knee, pressing him to the ground.
The entire inn was silent in an instant.
Only the thief's painful screams could be heard. Søren did not hold back and directly dislocated the thief's arm.
"Keep your eyes open."
Søren put Vivian down and pulled out his curved sword with his other hand. His expression was cold as he gestured at the thief's arm. Several people nearby put their hands on their waists. It was impossible to tell if they were the thief's accomplices, but they were all approaching Søren.
"Enough."
A man sitting at the bar stood up. He frowned and looked at Søren, then pointed at the thief on the ground and said, "Break his arm and throw him out."
"How dare you steal from my inn? You're courting death!"
Crack.
The people around the inn nodded at Søren, then grabbed the thief's arm and twisted it. The thief screamed in pain as two people picked him up and threw him into the smelly ditch outside the inn.
They were the inn's hired thugs.
It seemed that the inn's background was not very clean, but it was impossible to find an inn with a clean background in the old district.
"Young man."
"Looks like you're quite skilled. Do you want to stay here?"
The man in front of the bar looked at Søren deeply. When his eyes fell on Vivian, his eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice, "Two Silver Derahls per night."
"If you're not satisfied, you can go out and find a place to stay."
Søren looked around and threw two Silver Derahls on the table. He then picked up Vivian.
The man raised his head and gestured to the side, then swept the Silver Derahls over.
Soon.
A waitress with heavy makeup came over and led Søren to the second floor of the inn.
These were all part-time waitresses. They worked as waitresses in the inn and provided some special services to the guests who could afford to pay.
