The purpose of the Ancestral Dragon Church is actually very simple.

Because the battle between several Dragon Ball holders was too loud before, those who basically paid a little attention to this information now know that the battle for Dragon Ball, which has not occurred in 800 years, has now started again on this continent.

The unfrozen river that has been almost truncated, the land that has been swept over nearly ten square kilometers, and the poisonous breath that belongs to the great snake that still remains in the sky are all forces that are difficult for elite transcendents to deal with.

Although there are many tourists who come here because of the news that there may be a Dragon Ball holder in the Northlands, when they do encounter this extraordinary violence that can wipe out the city, most of them will just choose to leave immediately.

In the words of the leader of the Ancestral Dragon Church, the young priest Vika, as the lord's house and the Ancestral Church that nominally co-manage the Order of the Northlands with the Maier family, they should work together to maintain order in the city - in the next week, more than hundreds of thousands of non-resident people will leave Maia City, and more transcendents from all over the world will rush to this place.

"The large number of transcendents active will make the city extremely dangerous, and we must cooperate to maintain order in the city."

"Therefore, I suggest that the Lord's Mansion should share information with the Church to stop the extraordinaries from doing whatever they can in the city."

The young priest's tone was polite, and although there was no flaw in his expression and posture, everyone knew that the church side, which usually didn't ask about the world, must have a different purpose when he suddenly took the initiative to appear.

"You're right." Although Lord Maia's face was cold, he also knew very well that what the other party said was indeed the truth.

Wherever the transcendent is placed, it is a big bomb for the ruling class, and no one knows what those guys will do when they go crazy, and Maia City is his property.

"Someone will discuss specific cooperation matters with you later." Sitting in his chair, Lord Maia suddenly felt a little tired, and Priest Vika stepped back in amusement.

Dismissed the other attendants and left alone in the study, the middle-aged nobleman closed his eyes and pondered, and he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

- Whether it was the mysterious person who gave him the Dragon Balls, or the self-acting Su Sun, or the sudden appearance of these dragon ball holders who were powerful enough to destroy the city, and the large number of transcendental beings, he felt at a loss.

These forces are all existences that he can't control and can't refuse, and in the face of these guys, he, even the Northern Emperor who can selectively disobey the orders of the imperial family, does not have any superfluous majesty.

Was it really the right choice for me to rashly choose to get involved in the Dragon Ball battle?

"At least...... The Dragon Ball is not in my possession now. ”

Suddenly, with a wry smile, Lord Maia was also self-deprecating and self-consoling: "It's really the same as what the mysterious man said - it's really a good thing that the Dragon Ball is not in my hands." ”

And while the lords were worried about the transcendents in the city, the transcendents who remained in the city of Maia were actually worried and hesitated.

The vast majority of transcendents who aim for the Dragon Balls don't actually know how powerful the Dragon Dragon is - the last Dragon Ball battle was eight hundred years ago, and the Kelba royal family will never show the power of the Dragon inherited from their bloodline unless they have to.

Most of the transcendents who were led by the fearless emotions of the ignorant with a fluke mentality, after truly witnessing the terrifying power of the divine dragon, now retreated in their hearts, after all, an attack can make the entire land have a slight shock power, which is obviously not something that ordinary transcendents can fight.

If the Dragon Ball holder can be found, then with the means of means, some of the more powerful transcendents may still be able to fight, but if they face the Divine Dragon, they will definitely not be able to defeat.

But here comes the question - how can I find the Dragon Ball holder?

At this moment, a disguised Dragon Ball holder, who was walking through the panicked crowds of Maia City, entered a tavern, and ordered a glass of wine and a bowl of mutton soup with familiarity.

The owner of the tavern was a veteran of the Elven Wars more than twenty years ago, who was drafted into the army and ended up stepping on an elven vine trap and breaking a leg during the famous Battle of the Silent Forest. After the boss returned to his hometown, because of his disability, he couldn't do physical work, and he couldn't be a worker, so he opened a meat stall to sell meat, with a hot soup skill practiced in the army, and by the way, he sold some wine.

Drinking the familiar taste and feeling the rich and fresh taste, the bounty hunter, who had turned into a long-haired black man, took another sip of the Northland spirit on his side, looking like a normal diner.

Originally, the short-haired white image that the hunter has been showing to the outside world is to deepen the impression of other people on this feature, so that he can disguise himself and sneak in, confusing the line of sight, plus he has used some specific techniques to cover up some of the same deliberately displayed features on his face, no one can detect it at the first time, he is the bounty hunter.

"Have you heard? Dragon Ball and Divine Dragon have really appeared! ”

"How could you not have heard that it is said that the water of the Kobol River upstream is contaminated with the venom of the demon dragon, and several villages downstream have fled for their lives!"

"It's not safe in the Northland, and I'm going to go out for a while...... Alas, these people grab the Dragon Balls, why do they have to come to us......"

Listening to the news in the tavern, the hunter put down his wine glass, took another sip of mutton soup, and shook his head slightly: "Jörmungad's poison is indeed violent, even a god can kill it, but it can last less than a minute at most, and then it is just a simple pigment, and if you drink it in a big gulp, it will only be diarrhea at most." ”

Thinking of this, just as the hunter lifted the soup spoon and was about to take another sip, an inexplicable concussive feeling appeared in his spiritual world.

That's hunger – never-ending hunger.

In an instant, in the eyes of the hunter, the world around him changed...... The people around him who were drinking and eating seemed to be torn apart, and the little girl who was walking under the guidance of her parents outside the street was like a sandwich, exuding the delicious smell of meat like a good steak.

And it's not just people. The hunter gritted his teeth, his throat rolling, because anything that caught his eye became extremely delicious in the eyes of a man, the table was like a biscuit, the walls were like cartilage, and even the spiritual power in the air exuded a strange fragrance, which made him want to open his mouth and swallow everything, even the whole world, into his belly.

"That's enough."

Lowering his eyes, the hunter lifted the glass in his hand and drank the liquor from it, he bit down on a piece of glass, his tongue and palate grinding it with enough force to crush steel.

Swallowing this mass of inorganic powder into his stomach, the hunter's face gradually calmed down, and he connected with the soul of the giant serpent that was entangled with him, and scolded indifferently, suppressing the huge appetite and madness from the other party: "Patience. ”

[Unable to ...... Patience ......] And the serpent roared in the soul space with a voice that was almost without any sense: [Odin...... World Tree Spear...... Eat Him, eat Him! 】

"I say, patience."

The soul of the serpent is large and violent, but the hunter's soul is calmer and stronger, and after a soul wrestling and appeasement, he calms the angry serpent's soul again - fortunately, Jörmunga has no wisdom, plus the dragon balls, otherwise, let alone suppression, the hunter feels that he has no way to let the dragon snake hear his words.

Pay the bill and leave, and the hunter leaves the tavern.

The reason why this Dragon Ball holder who had fought with Su Sun returned to Maia City was because he had sensed that there was a Dragon Ball holder in Maia City before.

It was probably not long after the last dragon was summoned, and the hunter, with his experience and instincts honed over the years of warfare, noticed a not-so-obvious, hallucinatory fluctuation coming from somewhere in the city of Maia.

If it weren't for the chance encounter with other dragons on the road, which made him temporarily change his plan, otherwise, the hunter would not have encountered Su Sun at all, but would have sneaked into the city along the river to find the trace of the possible Dragon Ball holder.

War.

And as the hunter was on his way to where the fluctuations were, he couldn't help but think of the word again, and the dragon he had fought again.

Shenlong, who saw through his essence and life experience at a glance, proposed to himself that he would fulfill his wish as a condition for the peaceful delivery of Dragon Ball.

That's not a lie. With the experience of the hunter, he could see that the other party was a character who did what he said and would not regret if he agreed, and that he was a powerful and benevolent dragon to humans—and, according to the legend that controlled the wind and thunder, and had a record of throwing thunder spears, the hunter could be sure that the other party should be the divine dragon 'Candle Day', who once turned the sky into a spear and killed the immortal demon emperor of another world.

Many people only know a little about Candle Day, and at most they know that there is a divine knife in his tail that can kill immortals, but only those who have really studied mythology know that the weapon originally used by the divine dragon was a spear condensed by heavenly thunder, which is the basic mythological knowledge, in order to deal with the Dragon Ball War, the hunter once made up for this knowledge.

Candlelight is indeed a divine dragon that is kind to people, and if it is something else, hunters are willing to trust each other.

However, no matter how strong and kind.

In the final analysis, these summoned dragons are not the existence of this world.

This is true of all the dragon snakes summoned by the Dragon Balls, they do not belong to this world after all, and they are destined to leave.

That being the case, they would never be able to change the world and shape a new order.

"So, you can't get my wish."

Whispering to himself, the hunter turned the streets.

On the streets, the density of pedestrians has been greatly reduced, and most of the people leave Maia as soon as possible, while a small number of people who can't leave for the time being also stay in restaurants and hotels

Eight hundred years ago, the royal family of the Kirba Empire made a successful wish, received the mandate of heaven, swept through many city-states and aliens on the continent, established a great empire, and pushed many other intelligent civilizations into a desperate situation.

However, eight hundred years later, the empire began to decay, and the aliens remained unwielded...... Even in the latest war of aggression with the southern elves, the technologically superior empire was nothing more than leaving behind many corpses and signing an armistice with the other side in the Silent Forest.

Candlelight said that He could see the curse on himself...... That's not a lie. How can there be less curse on yourself? The veterans who can survive the battle of the meat grinder, which one is not full of blood.

However, killing hostile soldiers is a soldier's job, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

What really made the hunter fall into memories was the comrade who fell in the war.

"I can't do it anymore, the toxin has spread all over my body, and it's useless for you to cut my leg...... Kill me. "This is his old captain, who has been poisoned by the mysterious elves, it can't kill people, but it will gradually turn people into almost senile dementia-like vegetative people, there is no antidote in the early days of the war, and most of the injured people choose to commit suicide to avoid suffering the chronic torture of memory dissipation and mental death.

"My waist was broken...... It hurts, it hurts...... Give me a shot, please......" This is the sworn enemy in his army, he has been fighting against himself during the training camp, he stepped on the elf's plant bomb, his entire lower body was chopped by the flying blade, and the pain nerves were strengthened by the toxin dozens of times, and before he could help him get rid of him, he had already lost his mind from too intense pain.

"Whew...... Ah...... "This is a recruit he brought with him, he fell into the trap of the elves, his chest was pierced by a cursed wooden thorn, and he couldn't speak before he died, but the hunter can still remember the face of despair, and then slowly turned to death.

"Ahem...... What kind of expression do you have, give me pleasure, didn't we say it a long time ago, whoever is poisoned by those pointy ears will help him get free!" This is his partner, they worked together all the way, and finally survived the long war, and finally came to the final battle of the Silent Forest, and at the end of the battle, he was struck by the burning blood poison of the elven guard, the violent poison is said to be able to incinerate the flesh and blood of the poisoned, and then turn into pure poison gas, and continue to spread.

But the reason why the other party was poisoned was to help him block the arrow...... It was his own carelessness, so he let his partner die.

Elves rarely kill people directly, but there are countless ways to make life worse than death, and fighting them in the forest requires dealing with the malice of the entire forest.

Poisoning, traps, cold arrows, guerrillas, mines, and miasma...... The years of killing the enemy in the war and freeing his comrades will never be forgotten by the hunter for the rest of his life.

In particular, the confusion and deep guilt that only survived on his own.

Resentful elves? It is true that they were resentful at first, but weren't they the ones who took the initiative to invade? The elves who have invaded their homes defend themselves, and it is a matter of course - treating them as objects of resentment, even their comrades-in-arms will shake their heads.

So.

What is really evil is this decaying empire that needs a war to divert internal contradictions.

The real evil is in this society that cannot feed the people, and then produces contradictions.

What is really evil is this world where the aristocracy has everything, the people are in danger, and they have to pay their lives to fight for the desires of the nobility.

"Days of glory? Hum. ”

Recalling the grandiose propaganda of the generals in their speeches, the veteran only narrowed his eyes slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer silently: "How can a country that does not pay its pension in full make people loyal to it." ”

The reason why he became a bounty hunter is precisely because he relies on bounties to help the relatives and children left behind by many comrades.

And Dragon Ball is a gift from the widow and parents of a comrade-in-arms in return for his care over the years.

Since then, the ambition to change this world has begun to burn in the hearts of hunters.

Make a wish - the most direct way to change the world!

Just as the primitive city-state system was so outdated and crushed by the feudal monarchy of the Korba Empire, so that the empire, which already has more than two billion inhabitants, has long been outdated, and it is time for a new system to emerge and change this decaying world.

So, the hunter needs this desire.

And this wish, except for the legendary ancestor dragon, no dragon snake can be fulfilled.

Just then, Jörmungård's appetite came back to the hunter's footsteps—and once again, the world became palatable.

Jörmungad, who had no desire and was instinctively summoned accordingly, simply wanted to 'eat'.

This pure and simple desire, like a tsunami that wants to drown all sanity, hits the hunter's mental barriers.

But the bounty hunters, with their great willpower, overcome all this time and time again.

Suppressing Jörmungård's appetite again, the man couldn't help but feel a little tired and helpless.

Jörmungandr, the giant serpent, is essentially the type that the more you eat, the more powerful it becomes.

With a large amount of food, it is able to grow stronger at an unbelievable rate, growing in size.

Theoretically, the hunter has been holding the Dragon Ball for so many years, and with the characteristics of Jörmungad, he should have been able to return to the realm of gods a long time ago - in that case, in the face of the Divine Dragon, most of which are suppressed by a part of their own strength, Jörmungadri can definitely have the upper hand.

Even if someone summons a divine dragon comparable to the main god, the essence of Jörmungadri is also a dragon and snake with a legend of destroying the world and a record of killing the gods, which is not inferior to any divine dragon.

But if Jörmungård were to indulge his appetite and turn into a monster, the hunter would be sure that the world would be on fire, and his soul would be suppressed by the increasingly powerful Serpent of the World—and what he wanted was not a hellish ruin, but a perfect and immaculate utopia.

"So, patience, Jörmungadr, when I make a wish, you can eat me, and you can eat all the mountains on the border...... But for now, patience is necessary. ”

The vertical pupils flickered with a cold and unforgiving light, and the sheer amount of magic was suppressed in the body, and the hunter finally reached his goal.

He came to the west of the city of Maia, around the Ancestral Dragon Church.

And this is where he feels the fluctuations.

"Ancestral Dragon Church...... It's no surprise that they hold Dragon Balls. ”

Disguised as a normal passer-by, the bounty hunter was sure that there was indeed a faint aura of a dragon here, and he prepared to turn away naturally - knowing who the other party was, it would be much easier to be on guard against the other party or to sneak attack the other party in the future.

However, the bounty hunter did not expect that as he was about to leave, he happened to face the Vika priest and his party who were returning from the Maia Lord's Mansion.

Immediately, the leading Vika priest stepped forward, his fierce gaze sweeping over the hunter's body, as if he could see through all disguises.

“…… The most powerful bounty hunter in the South, Mikhail 'Stone Heart', what are you here for? ”

Immediately, the question was raised, and the Church warriors who followed behind the Vika priest all picked up their matching guns and pointed them at the bounty hunter named Mikhail.

But Mikhail, as if he had not seen the guns, stared intently at the young priest.

- Powerful.

With just a brief moment of eye contact, the bounty hunters confirmed this - the strength of the other party is simply the heat wave of winter, so obvious that it cannot be ignored.

Although Vica looked fine-skinned and tender, and never seemed to have suffered any setbacks, Mikhail could tell that under the white skin of the other party, there was a blood-red dragon pattern spreading on the incomparably strong muscle texture.

That's an impregnable defense.

- Dragon's blood covers, invulnerable, not damaging the dragon's body? In an instant, Mikhail thought of several dragon snakes with related legends, and among them, there are myths and legends about bathing in dragon blood, the most famous of which should be the allusion to the magic dragon from another world, Fafnir...... Oh, the other party should not be like the legendary hero, and he still leaves flaws for himself.

Now that you have got the information from the other party, this trip will make a lot of money.

Without replying, Mikhail immediately prepared to turn away - not to mention his confidence that the young priest would not be able to keep him, and the bounty hunters knew very well that if there was a fight here, it would always be the civilians who would suffer.

Similarly, the Ancestral Dragon Church side also had the same concerns, and when Priest Vika saw Mikhail's action of turning around and leaving, he had no intention of catching up, but just stood coldly in place, noting the breath on the other party's body, so that he could use the secret method to track it later.

"'Stone Heart' is actually the owner of the Dragon Ball...... It's starting to get tricky, and if everyone else has Mikhail's level, then it's basically a matter of luck for me to win to the end. ”

Although Vika himself is also a recognized genius in the church, even if many high priests are not as strong as him, an opponent of Mikhail's level is not an ordinary person, especially the opponent's decades of combat experience, let alone a young man like him.

Therefore, there is no contradiction first, and everyone is testing each other.

However, just when one of the two tacitly left and the other did not stop,

Boom –

Suddenly, there was a huge and dull roar from outside the city, and the roar of some behemoth beast.

"What?"

"How is that possible?!"

For a moment, both Mikhail and Vika looked shocked, and both of them turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction where the voice came from, and then Qi Qi was puzzled and surprised: "Dead?!" ”

Then they turned their heads to each other, and both Mikhail and Vika saw that the consternation in each other's eyes was not fake.

Just now, the two of them felt at the same time that there was a huge change in magical power around the ice-free lake in the upper reaches of the Kobol River, which was not far away for the transcendentals...... And there are only two possibilities for this level of magic power change, one is that a Dragon Ball holder dies and his strength collapses, and the other is that the divine dragon is defeated and the incarnation collapses.

Of course, there is actually a third possibility, that is, an innocent near-god peak powerhouse passing by unfortunately fell while walking around the unfrozen lake...... Who believes?

The seven Dragon Ball holders have only been together for a day, and as a result, someone has already withdrawn? This is really too unbelievable, you must know that according to historical records, the founding emperor of the Kerba Empire fought fiercely for forty days and nights before defeating all the enemies, and was able to meet the ancestral dragon and make a wish.

However, no matter how much he doubted, it was impossible to know the answer if he stayed where he was, and without any hesitation, Mikhail, who had planned to leave, immediately lifted the magic power in his body and accelerated directly to the ice-free lake, while Vika turned his head and instructed the church warriors, and then cast the same spell and followed behind Mikhail.

And when they arrived at the shore of Fudo Lake, they found that there was already a 'divine dragon' there observing the situation.

Needless to say, it was Su Day.

"Yo, it turned out to be you, you came pretty fast."

Looking from afar, Su Sun, who was wreaking havoc on the rampaging beast in the center of the lake, also sensed a familiar aura, and he turned his head to see the bounty hunter and another unknown Dragon Ball holder.

In the same way, Mikhail and Vika also noticed Su Sun—and more importantly, they saw that Su Sun's left hand was now holding an extremely petite ...... Belch.

Extremely petite exoskeleton armored samurai.

That's right, it's the exoskeleton armored samurai.

It can be seen that at this time, on Su Sun's side, the small figure holding his hand is wearing a full-coverage children's exoskeleton armor, and the gray-white dragon scales have a heavy feeling, obviously the defense is extraordinary.

- God's child-type exoskeleton.

Even Shi Xin was as calm as Mikhail, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, let alone Vika, the young priest even rubbed his eyes with a ghostly expression.

Naturally, Su Tian didn't care about the feelings of these two, he turned his head again, looked at the huge sea monster that was raging in the center of the lake, and said calmly: "In addition to the two of you, there are two other people here. ”

Saying this, the young man was amazed and said with emotion: "Counting the guy who may have been killed, and the guy who killed him, the seven Dragon Ball holders are probably all here." ”
