He commanded the two girls who were at a loss to deal with the unexpected big guy. It wasn't that Lin had a similar experience. Slaying a dragon was something that was impossible for a certain someone in the past. Now that a sub-dragon died in front of him, it was the former Lord Demon King's achievement, not his.
It was just that when no one could figure out what to do, someone would come forward and yell. It was better than a group of people staring at each other and doing nothing. Anyway, if they really messed up, they would find a way to remedy it. Doing everything to perfection was the attitude of a young person. Although a certain someone wasn't muddling along now, he wasn't too serious about many things. Everything was up to fate.
Compared to the relaxed attitude of the few humans, the dwarves had a heavy expression and silently helped Marit unload her peace equipment. The female dwarf, who was originally like a hedgehog, didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The silver-bearded dwarves shunned the world because of a sense of pride, but they weren't ignorant of everything in the outside world.
Perhaps they didn't have a clear understanding of the level of strength of the sub-dragon they just saw. But there was one thing that even they understood, and that was, slaying a dragon was definitely a big battle. It wasn't something that a few dwarves wearing peace equipment and rushing forward with electric spears could succeed.
When the difference in size between creatures reached a certain extent, it wasn't something that could be made up for by ordinary strength. Not to mention, dragons were the top existences among the mysterious creatures, even if they were only a sub-species.
To put it bluntly, the standard weapon of the silver-bearded dwarves' peace equipment – electric spears couldn't hurt dragons, including this huge sub-species. If they wanted to slay a dragon, they had to take out the siege crossbows that had accumulated a layer of dust in the warehouse.
Because it had to be pierced deep enough to cause damage to these giant beasts. The electric spears might be able to break through the scales and leave scars, but they couldn't cause fatal damage.
In reality, it was impossible to kill an enemy by trimming their toenails.
But such a sub-dragon, which the four dwarves thought was impossible to defeat with their current strength, died in front of their eyes. Until now, they still felt like they were dreaming. It was so unbelievable.
What if such a weapon hit the peace equipment? Would they have a different ending than the sub-dragon?
Well, if you think about it seriously, it is indeed possible. For example, dying without a complete corpse was indeed a different outcome from the alternative dragon.
After recognizing the reality, the two female dwarves instantly corrected their mentality. Freya did not resist in the first place. She quietly helped her own people and the humans as well. But in fact, everyone could see that she was still quite wary.
After witnessing this, her wariness disappeared. Even the Earthen Drake had been slaughtered, so who would care about a few dwarves? Hence, Freya felt like she had nothing to lose and did as she pleased.
Marit was no longer like a hedgehog, looking for trouble everywhere she went. Actually, her original intention was to persuade Jermaine, a fool who only knew how to mess things up without anyone's help, to return to his own tribe. Therefore, along the way, she criticized and belittled him both openly and secretly.
When that human brought Jermaine back to Iron City, he brought along a set of peace equipment, which made her even more vigilant. She thought that this was proof that the human had bad intentions and wanted to steal the most powerful weapon of the silver bearded dwarves. Hence, she was anxious to equip herself with the peace equipment first to give the other party a show of strength and dispel any bad intentions.
After this incident, the stubborn female dwarf finally saw it clearly. The silver bearded dwarf's greatest masterpiece was just a toy in the eyes of others. If a giant beast like the sub-dragon could be killed, who did she think she was?
Hence, she did not dare to continue to court death. Instead, she acted like a little wife, compromising and enduring humiliation.
Lin saw all of this and felt that it was funny.
It was the same on Earth. Was it a favor for a poor person to give to a rich person? That was more like enmity. Because most of the rich people would only think of two things: one, that the poor person had other motives; two, that the matter was very easy and he could succeed without the poor person's help. Therefore, giving a favor was actually a sign that the poor person had something to ask, while the rich person was only willing to simply send the other party away and did not want to owe this favor.
This kind of mentality would be maintained until they understood the other party's strength and understood that the other party really did not care about their possible returns. Only then would they believe that the other party was giving a favor purely out of kindness and not asking for something that they did not deserve.
On Earth, strength was money and power. In the land of mystery, strength was the ability to beat others down.
Someone helped the silver bearded dwarves, from the beginning, not to gain the favor of the whole tribe, but to help Jermaine and Riley, these two friends who could be considered to be on good terms with each other. Besides, it was a great favor to save the whole tribe from the crisis of extinction, but it was not valued by the silver bearded dwarves. This was because someone solved it too easily.
Walk in, it was like going shopping, and the matter was solved. Anyone watching from the side would think that if it was so easy, then they would do it themselves. There was no need for a human mage to do it. Hence, most of the silver bearded dwarves looked at someone like a rich person looking at a poor person.
The two male dwarves had long been taught to be obedient and did not dare to have any improper thoughts. But the others did not. Some of the sharper people were aware of the gap, but most people were only willing to believe what they believed and maintain their false pride until the unerasable reality slapped them in the face and woke them up. Just like the two female dwarves.
Looking at Marite's change and how quiet she became, Jermaine was a little surprised and somewhat understood. He sneaked to Lin's side and asked, "Big brother, how strong are you now? You've already killed one of the dragons. "
Pointing at Fen, who was excitedly tapping on the keyboard on the carriage, Lin said, "She's strong, yes. Very, very strong, I don't know where the limit is. As for whether I'm strong or not, I can't say because I really don't know how to evaluate myself. But there is one thing I can confirm. "
"What is it?" Jermaine asked cooperatively.
"When it comes to escaping, if I'm alone, I'm definitely the best. No one can compare to me." Someone said proudly. Even though this kind of attitude made the dwarves somewhat speechless. Was this something to be so proud of?
And on the other side, there was another group of people who were equally speechless about what was happening in front of them. That dead Earthly Lesser Dragon had a notorious reputation in this area. The travelers and crusaders who died tragically under its mouth numbered in the hundreds, if not thousands.
And in order to get rid of this mage, this group of people hiding in the dark paid the lives of many of their subordinates to trick the wyvern into finding the dragon's nest where the owner left the nest. The wyvern also cooperated and took the only egg. But what was surprising was that the treasure that was worth thousands of gold coins on the black market was eaten by them just like that …
The wyvern who discovered that the egg was missing naturally chased after them. The people hiding in the dark thought that they could see a massacre and soothe their wounded souls, as well as the loss of many of their subordinates. They did not expect it to be a one-sided slaughter, but the positions of both sides were reversed.
Perhaps they did not recognize the dwarves with silver hair. They didn't know how powerful the full-body armor, which could make the dwarves wearing it look one size bigger than them, was. But no one was unfamiliar with the attack method that Fen used to kill the wyvern.
Even if they had not seen the great battle between the Tower of the Great Sage and the Gate of the Abyss, but in order to assassinate the target, everyone had done some research on the target's deeds.
In the evaluation of the full five levels, when the target had a Magic Tower, the threat level was five stars, which was equivalent to the danger level of a Warlock Saint.
But when the target ventured outside, it was a little awkward. The target's evaluation was only two stars, which was even one level lower than the average official mage. Because the target only had experience in dealing with weak creatures like the goblins. But the one beside the target made people somewhat unable to evaluate her strength. There were evaluations from three to five stars from all over the place, depending on whether they believed that she was the legendary Demon King.
And the threat level of the land wyvern was four and a half stars. It had been entrenched in this mountain forest for at least hundreds of years, and belonged to the king-level magic beast of this place. It was also the main reason why there were few people around here.
So when someone proposed to use this king-level magic beast, it made all the participants think for a while. How feasible was it, and how should they plan to let the target and the king-level magic beast meet? But no one had thought of such an ending. The king-level magic beast, which was powerful enough to destroy some small countries, was gone without causing any damage, just like the great battle of the Gate of the Abyss that might have left a mark in history.
Such an ending undoubtedly made the assassins feel disheartened. Fortunately, the target was an open-ended bounty, and did not request a specific assassin. So if the assassination failed, as long as the insiders did not spread the news, there would not be a loss of reputation. There were many people who failed, so who would care about who joined and then messed up again?
Everyone in that circle knew that under the stimulation of the high bounty, the whereabouts and situation of this group of people were no longer a secret. Especially with the help of the secret section of the forum, the news that should be spread spread very quickly. Therefore, many people stealthily caught up with this group of people and then left without a sound. And this group of people who were the target was still free and unfettered.
Countless facts had already proven that a direct attack on this group of people would not work. Even a king-level magic beast did not seem to be able to gain an advantage in the hands of the Demon King.
And conspiracies … No matter how the assassination was carried out, in the end, it still had to be the moment when the sword was drawn. Was it really a good idea to show off poisons and curses in front of a Lich?
Among the assassins, whether it was full-time or part-time, there were people who were not qualified to be mages. But as long as one was familiar with magic, the more they understood the weight of the word "Lich," the less they dared to raise any thoughts that they should not have. Death, for a Lich, was far from the end. If the slightest clue fell into the hands of the Lich, what awaited them might be eternal torture.
So some people decided to leave. Then there would be other newcomers who did not believe the depressing comments on the forum, and thought that they were different from the others and could easily get the huge bounty. So they would join the ranks of the tailing group and wait for an opportunity to make a move. Such a cycle, in fact, was what the person who issued the bounty wanted to see. Maybe there would be a weirdo who could succeed.
