Dandelion had a disappointed expression on his face.
"You've already said what you want me to say."
"Yes, just as you thought, the dragon jumped into the canyon of the Kestrel Mountains, not far from the source of the Braa River."
"It has been hidden in the cave there. There must be treasures stacked there that are hundreds of years old or many years old. Caingorn's King Niedamir wants to monopolize those treasures, so they blocked the bridge to block other competitors."
"The entire Holopole free city was in trouble because of this. They felt that the dragon's treasure should belong to them, but they did not dare to openly oppose Niedamir."
"Caingorn's king is a young fool who's just starting to grow hair on his mouth, but he knows how to make people fear him."
At this time, Lynn suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated to the current situation.
"Speaking of this, I remember that the ruler of Caingorn was originally not Deidre Admayne and Mayena Admayne?"
Deidre·Admayne, the unexpected son of Eskel, is also the son of disaster who bears the burden of Curse of the Black Sun.
After her father died of syphilis in 1232, theoretically, as the eldest daughter, she enjoyed the inheritance rights of Caingorn.
But her brother was very dissatisfied with this, so he sought the help of the king of Kaedwen, the royal advisor of Henselt, and the sorceress Sabrina Grievesig.
They organized a team to hunt down Deidre.
Deidre was forced to flee to Kaer Morhen, seeking help from Eskel and the witchers.
Finally, the demon hunters decided to protect Deidre, and persuaded Deidre to give up her inheritance rights and reconcile with her brother Mayena.
So Sabrina has no reason to intervene.
Caingorn became unprecedentedly powerful under the rule of the siblings.
Later, Deidre also sent a letter to Eskel, but the latter destroyed it without reading it.
Lynn is a little curious, it has only been twenty years, how come the ruler of Caingorn has become Niedamir?
Dandelion sighed and said.
"King Niedamir is the child of the late king Mayena. A few years ago, the late king Mayena had an unfortunate accident while hunting. He was stabbed by a wild boar and died."
"As for Deidre, she had already contracted the disease and died during an earlier great plague that swept through Caingorn. Even the well-trained doctors found for her by the late King Mayena were unable to do anything."
"It is for this reason that King Niedamir acted so quickly."
"He not only wants those treasures, he is more interested in dragons."
"You know that right next to Caingorn is the principality Malleore, right? King Niedamir has been coveting the principality Malleore for a long time. But after the prince of the principality died mysteriously, there was only one princess left who had reached marriageable age."
"But the powerful class of Malleore principality are not optimistic about Niedamir and other suitors, because they know that the new ruler will definitely reduce their power, and the young princess has a soft ear, so it is easy to manipulate them."
"So in order to reject Niedamir and other suitors, the nobles of Malleore dug out an old prophecy book gathering dust. It said that the duke's crown and the princess's jade hand only belong to the person who conquers the dragon."
"They believe that this will make Niedamir leave in anger, because no one has seen a trace of the dragon in the surrounding area for a long time."
"Originally, Niedamir didn't care about the prophecy at all. He tried his best to conquer the Malleore principality by force, but the news that Holopole had a dragon coming out reached his ears, making him realize that this was a good opportunity that compared to force, would leave the Malleore nobles speechless."
"If he can take the dragon's head and head to the Malleore Principality in a swagger, people will welcome him like a king sent by the gods, and those powerful people will no longer complain."
"That's why he went to great lengths to blockade this place, just to stop competitors."
"Anyway, the dragon had a hard time crawling in front of Holopole people. Now that so much time has passed, the dragon might have been poisoned to death. Therefore, for King Niedamir, this is naturally a God-given opportunity, and fate is smiling on him."
Lynn nodded.
"Well, you can imagine that if I were him, I would think the same thing, but why didn't he take you with him? Doesn't he want his heroic deeds to be recorded?"
Dandelion hesitated and said, "He invited me, but I was late?"
Lynn found it a little funny. "What do you mean late? Just like Grouchy was late on the battlefield Waterloo?"
Dandelion said frustratedly.
"I don't know which battle you are referring to Waterloo, but I do bear some responsibility."
"After King Niedamir extended an invitation to me, I met a young widow that night, and then..."
"When I woke up the next morning, Niedamir, his army, and other recruited dragon-slaying teams had already crossed the river."
"They even brought Kozoyed, the shoemaker who designed the dragon poison, and Holopole's militiamen, but they forgot about me."
"I tried to explain to the captain, but he..."
"As long as you have a pass, it's no problem," the captain leaned against the wall of the toll cabin and explained calmly, "If you don't have a pass, there's no need to talk. An order is an order..."
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
"Ha!" Three Jackdaws interjected, "The girls are back with drinks."
"It's not just them." Dandelion stood up, "Look at that horse, it looks like a dragon."
Two Zerrikania girls rode out of the birch forest, accompanied by a rider, who rode a tall and powerful stallion and was dressed as a warrior.
Lynn also stood up and looked over.
The rider was seen wearing a purple velvet tunic and a short jacket decorated with sable fur.
He sat proudly on the saddle and looked at everyone.
Eyes and expressions like this are the majority on this continent.
Borch is the minority.
"Hello, gentlemen, I am Dorregaray." The rider pretended to be noble and slowly dismounted, introducing himself, "Master Dorregaray, warlock."
Lynn knows this name.
He is from Vole.
That is a city in Cidaris.
Dorregaray is a little different from his fellow warlocks.
He is not so obsessed with power, but is committed to another thing, which is the protection of monsters.
Yes.
You heard it right.
Dorregaray believes that murder as a profession is not only disgusting, but also barbaric and stupid.
He feels that the world needs balance, so monsters that threaten humans are necessary to exist.
Demon hunters, monster killers who hunt monsters, will upset the balance and cause the destruction of the world.
Lynn I don't know if white people have a delusion similar to the destruction of the world in their bones.
In the past, there was Etibald's Prophecy, a girl born during a solar eclipse who would destroy humanity. Later, there was a warlock like Dorregaray, who believed that destroying monsters - or in his words, "murdering" monsters - would destroy the balance of all things, and then the world would be destroyed.
Please.
The human race is not that fragile.
The world is not so fragile.
