"A creature with the Titan bloodline?"
Hearing the receptionist's words, the players looked at each other with interest.
"Where is it? Is there a specific location? "
They asked with great interest.
"Hmm … I'm not sure about that, but … the villager who said he saw the One-eyed Giant is from Torch Tree Village. If you're interested, you can go there and ask around."
The receptionist said.
The players thought about it and remembered the name of the place.
Ye Ye took out the map he had bought after arriving at the Violet Dukedom. After a quick search, he discovered that Torch Tree Village should be a village near the border forest. If the group had accepted a monster hunting quest, it would be on the way.
"Let's go take a look."
They discussed in the chat channel for a while and came to a decision.
"Is there any other news? Anything on the continent is fine. "
All Seasons Sunny Rain asked again.
"Any other news …"
The receptionist furrowed her brows.
She looked up at the ceiling and fell into deep thought.
After a while, the receptionist furrowed her brows and said,
"Hmm … There seems to be a rumor in the Vols Grand Dukedom. It's said that a few lords in the east of the Holy Mania Empire have formed an alliance and are gathering an army. I don't know what they're up to …"
"There are rumors that the nobles are planning to attack the Devil's Nest in the south and reclaim the fallen land in the southern part of the Fertile Plains. There are also rumors that the Great Lord of the east of the empire, Duke Bollensia, wants to instigate a war within the empire and expand his territory while the empress is still young. There are also rumors that the nobles of the empire are planning to attack the Vols Grand Dukedom again and invade the Eastern Segers …"
The Eastern Segers was the name of the vast area in the east of the Segers.
Ever since the Holy Mania Empire launched a war to unify the continent nine hundred years ago and suffered a setback in the eastern continent, it had always been a sore point for the nobles of the empire.
In the past thousand years, the nobles of the empire had never given up on the idea of invading the east. They had launched no less than thirty invasions of the Vols Grand Dukedom, which connected the Eastern Segers and Holy Mania. However, every time, they were repelled by the allied forces formed by the eastern dukedoms.
Today, the nobles of the empire rarely sent troops to the Eastern Segers anymore.
Everyone realised that with the Vols Mountains as a natural barrier and the support of the eastern duchies, the Vols Duchy, as the gateway to the eastern Segers, would always be impregnable.
In history, due to the failure of the eastward invasion, the empire's army was completely wiped out. The Bollensia Family, which had once controlled the Holy Mania Imperial Throne through marriage, war, and elections, lost its power and was replaced by the founding Imperial Family, the Terence Family, until today.
Thus, the Vols Grand Duchy was also known as the graveyard of the empire.
Now, when the Empire's covetous interest in the Eastern Segers was brought up, the residents of the Eastern Segers often treated it as a joke. It could even be considered an interesting matter.
Of course, most of the Players did not understand the history of the human nations in the world of Segers, which was why they did not catch the taunt towards the Empire in the receptionist's words.
They only remembered this news and sent it back to their own guilds to remind the higher-ups of their guilds to be vigilant and prevent them from being taken advantage of …
The Life Church had issued a war quest to attack the Demon Stronghold in the southern part of the Fertile Plains.
Now that the nobles of the Empire were ready to make a move, the Players had to be vigilant and not be backstabbed by these fellows.
Of course, the Players were not worried because it was said that the newly promoted demigod, Keretz, would be accompanying the army.
With the demigod around, even if the Empire did backstab them after conquering the Fertile Plains, it would be like kicking an iron plate.
In other words, there were many Players who were eager to go to war with the nobles of the Empire. In many people's eyes, the Elven Forest was no longer the same as it was in the past and had the confidence to compete with the Empire.
It was only when the map of the continent was completely opened that the players who had traveled through the human kingdoms knew that although the human society was torn apart, and the strongest country, Mania, seemed to be on the verge of decline, the strength of the entire human society had also increased after the recovery of the magic power.
Who knew how many new high-grade professionals there were in the human kingdoms now?
In any case, the rarely seen Silver-grade professionals could now be seen everywhere in the human cities, but to the residents, they could be considered rare and common.
On the other hand, going to war with the Empire as a human was different from going to war with the Empire as an Elf.
The Eternal Church would definitely intervene, and that would really start a war between faiths and races.
And this time, without the Goddess' instructions, the Players would not force it.
But vaguely, many sharp-witted Players had noticed that the Eternal Church was ready to make a move. In the past six months, the Eternal Church seemed to have been secretly expanding their forces. No one knew if it was to prepare to eliminate the demons entrenched in the world of Segers in one fell swoop, or for other reasons …
Of course, this was not something the Players needed to worry about.
Or rather, most Players did not like to think too much.
They came to the game to pass the time, but Elven Kingdom was too realistic and unique, and gradually, everyone really treated it as a second life …
Compared to thinking about the situation on the continent, most Players preferred to adventure in the game, especially after the map was opened up.
Even if traveling did not allow the Players to efficiently gain EXP, many people still enjoyed it.
Being famous on the continent was every Player's dream in the game …
There were many Players who planned to stay in the dungeon until they reached a high level, but most of them were new Players.
For the veteran Players, their levels were high enough, and the only thing that limited them was the advancement quota and class change quota.
There were too many Players in the Demon God's Labyrinth, and the dropped rewards were not 100%. With all these factors added together, it was better to travel on the continent than to grind dungeons all the time.
Perhaps they would encounter some hidden quest and directly obtain the advancement or class change quota.
This was not unprecedented. Ever since the world of Segers was opened up, there were many Players who accidentally triggered hidden quests during their travels and obtained the quota.
Most of the quests were related to reviving evil gods, preaching faith, or saving residents and increasing the reputation of the Elves and the Church of Life …
Back to the present.
After a few Players heard the news from the Mercenary Guild, they accepted the quest to crusade against a Gold-tier Magical Beast and left the guild under the respectful gazes of a group of Silver Mercenaries.
Yeye and Nainai were already Gold-tier professionals, and they also wanted to challenge a magical beast of this level.
The reward of 500,000 gold pounds was still very attractive, not to mention that a Gold-tier magical beast could also provide a lot of EXP and magic materials.
The Violet Dukedom was not particularly large, about half the size of the Maple Moon Free Territory, and just happened to cover the entire Violet Highlands. Its territory was long and narrow in the north and south, and narrow in the east and west. The entire dukedom's population was said to be less than three million.
Like most adventuring teams, their team had five members. Apart from Yeye, Nainai, and Sunny Rain of All Seasons, there was also a Druid and a Hunter, all of whom were at the peak of the upper Silver level.
The group set off from the capital west of the Violet Highlands according to the guild's quest instructions, and rushed to the quest location in a dragon-scale carriage.
Like most of the areas they had traveled, the recovery of magic power had also changed this small dukedom. Along the way, the Players had encountered no less than three mutant magical beasts attacking villages and towns.
They did not hesitate to take action and received a wave of gratitude, and even their Legendary Points increased a little. Everyone was delighted.
The Players hurried on their way.
They spent less than two days to arrive at the border forest in the east of the dukedom.
The border forest was just the name given to this forest by the Violet people. On the continent, it had another name — Dragonborn Forest.
From the map of the continent that the Players had obtained, this was a vast forest that stretched across the entire eastern coast of the continent, all the way to the north until it reached the Dragonborn Kingdom that was adjacent to the Ice Plains of the Far North — a kingdom ruled by Draconians.
The forest was famous for the large number of Dragonborn magical beasts. It was said that these Dragonborn magical beasts were the descendants of a Green Dragon whose strength had reached the Mythical level. It was the same for the Draconians of the Dragonborn Kingdom.
That Mythical Megalosaurus was called Tistan, and it was said that it liked to seek out all kinds of female magical beasts for thrills. It also liked to transform into a handsome human and seduce beautiful sub-human women for sex … It even created the Draconians, a species with a population of nearly a million.
The entire Dragonborn Kingdom and the Dragonborn Forest … Yes, that was how it came to be …
It was said that a great mage had once calculated that there were more than five thousand species in the entire forest with the Green Dragon's bloodline …
And that did not include those that had gradually died out over a long period of time.
The Dragonborn Kingdom worshipped this Mythical Megalosaurus as their Father God and totem … However, this Green Dragon had disappeared from the continent for many years, and no one knew where it had gone.
The Players had heard about this from the elders of the Torch Tree Village beside the border forest.
Yeye and the Weather of the Four Seasons were dumbfounded by the Mythical Green Dragon's valiant deeds, and they admired it in their hearts.
It was simply the strongest stallion in the entire world of Segers.
Oh, no, it was a dragon.
It was a pity that when the Players wanted to find the villager who was said to have seen the Cyclops, they were informed by the villagers that the Cyclops was not in the village.
The Players were a little regretful, but they did not wait any longer. Instead, they decided to enter the forest to find the magical beast that they needed to subjugate.
They had already received information from the Guild about the magical beast that had attacked the village. It was said to be a creature that resembled both a dragon and a bird, and its body was huge.
The Players guessed that it might be a bird-type magical beast with the bloodline of the Megalosaurus.
There were Druids among the Players who had the skill [Nature's Whispers]. In the forest, this was their home ground. As long as they asked the plants, they could obtain the traces of powerful magical beasts …
And soon, the Players locked onto their target in a valley in the forest.
"The plants' said 'that a magical beast with the bloodline of the Dragonborn had passed by here, and it is likely to be what we are looking for. I' saw 'scales similar to dragon scales in the trees' memories … it might be that the magical beast had deeply awakened its bloodline with the sound of magic power."
The Druid Player in the team said.
When everyone heard this, they slowly nodded their heads.
"Let's be careful. If we can't beat it, we'll retreat in time. We've come all the way here, and if we die and return to the city, our months of travel would have been in vain."
Yeye, the leader of the adventure team, said.
The bloodline of the Megalosaurus was powerful. Any magical beast that could be related to the Dragonborn would be stronger than its peers.
The Players followed the Druid in the team and used [Nature's Whispers] to track it, heading deeper into the valley …
The Dragonborn Forest was lush with vegetation. Although it was not as lush as the Elven Forest, it could be considered rich.
And because there were no Players to harm, magical beasts here multiplied and multiplied in numbers.
All kinds of small magical beasts could be seen everywhere. There were also traces of activity of medium and even large magical beasts.
However, since they had a quest to complete, the Players did not rashly attack or capture magical beasts. Instead, they carefully followed the Druid in the team and slowly moved deeper into the valley …
"Look! Feces … we should be close to the other party's lair. "
The Hunter in the team pointed at a large pile of yellowish-green feces beside a bush and said.
There were several mushrooms with scales growing around the feces, which meant that the feces were left behind by a Dragonborn magical beast, and its bloodline was probably quite pure …
Quietly putting away the feces and mushrooms, the Players continued forward.
The feces were excellent fertilizer, and even if they did not eat the mushrooms, they were excellent magical ingredients. It would be a waste not to take them.
After traversing through the forest, the players finally saw the target of their crusade.
It was a behemoth that was over twenty meters in size.
Its appearance was like a giant eagle, but it had a long tail that resembled a dragon's tail. Its claws were not ordinary eagle claws, but more like dragon claws.
The feathers on its wings were in the shape of dragon scales and were dark green. The same was true for the feathers on its body, which looked as if it was wearing a layer of dark green armor.
It was lying at the entrance of a cave, resting with its eyes closed and snoring faintly.
"So … so big!"
The Players widened their eyes when they saw its appearance.
Dragonborn magical beasts were not rare in the northwestern forests of the Elven Forest.
However, the average Dragonborn magical beast was only three or four meters long, and would not exceed ten meters if they were a little bigger. It was the first time the Players had seen such a big fellow that was over twenty meters long.
Its size was no less than an adult white dragon.
Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone was still shocked.
And this dragon-eagle-like magical beast exuded an obvious dragon's aura, which was aggressive.
It was not something that an average Dragonborn magical beast could possess.
The aura that it exuded made the Players' hearts skip a beat. Even the most powerful Yeye and Nainai felt an invisible pressure when facing it …
It was at least an intermediate Gold!
Yeye and Nainai looked at each other, and they had some guesses.
It was not easy to fight …
That was their second thought.
At this moment, perhaps because he was too nervous, one of the Players stepped on a dead leaf and crushed it.
In the next moment, the Dragonborn magical beast opened its eyes.
The snoring stopped instantly.
Its vertical pupils that resembled a Megalosaurus instantly locked onto the Players, and its pupils were filled with madness and fury.
It roared, flapped its wings, and pounced toward the Players …
The horrifying aura spread, and the Players' expressions changed.
"Oh no! It's definitely an upper Gold! Everyone, run! "
Yeye shouted.
