Game of the World Tree

Outside the mine, a heavily armed army has surrounded this area. In addition to the professional army, there are also several teams that are obviously mercenary groups. The total number is probably more than 3,000.

And surrounded by knights, a boy in armor who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old was standing on a large rock, looking solemnly at the castle on the hillside.

He has splendid blond hair and the iconic blue eyes of the Rosen family, and the soldiers around him respect him.

After a while, a dragon roar came from the direction of the castle, and in his slightly condensed line of sight, several embarrassed adventurers fled from the hillside in fear.

They threw away their armor and seemed to be greatly frightened.

The blond boy frowned and said to the knight beside him:

"Go and see what's going on, if anyone is injured, and then bring the head of the Sun-shirt mercenary group to see me."

"Okay, Master Frank."

The knight said respectfully.

After a while, several adventurers were brought over by the soldiers, led by a tall and muscular warrior.

I saw him salute the boy named Frank and said in a deep voice:

"Master Frank, our people are back."

"How? Is anyone hurt?"

the boy asked.

"No one was injured. Before the opponent attacked, our people all escaped."

The soldier replied.

Frank nodded and asked again:

"What's going on in the castle, is it really a golden dragon?"

Hearing his question, the warrior glanced at the other adventurer beside him. The adventurer's face was still a little pale, and it was obvious that he had just been frightened. I saw him nodded and said respectfully and a little scared:

"Go back... back to Master Frank, I... we didn't see clearly..."

"I didn't see clearly..."

Frank frowned slightly.

"Yes... Yes, after we stepped into the castle, it was like entering another world, but everyone saw a different scene... What I saw was a sea of ​​fire, and... and a terrifying head Balrog, I was almost swallowed by the Balrog..."

The adventurer said timidly.

"Another world? A different scene?"

Frank was lost in thought.

"Magic? Is it illusion?"

He was thoughtful.

At this time, a fat middle-aged aristocrat in Chinese clothes came up.

I saw him looking at the young man and said excitedly:

"Master Frank! The golden dragon! Definitely the golden dragon! I asked the miners, and many saw it with their own eyes!"

"Master! We must destroy the golden dragon! I heard that the golden dragon likes to eat precious metals the most! It must have taken a fancy to our gold mine, and if it drags on, our gold will be eaten up!"

Seeing the middle-aged nobleman, a trace of disgust flashed in the boy's eyes, and he said calmly:

"Your Excellency Paul, if it is really a golden dragon, then it should have no malice towards us, otherwise, the adventurer who went there would have died long ago."

"But that's a dragon after all! Master Frank! Dragons! Dragons are greedy, they must be looking at our gold! Master Frank, we must find a way to kill it! At least drive it away!"

The middle-aged aristocrat emphasized.

Frank became a little impatient. He glanced at the middle-aged nobleman and said coldly:

"Baron Paul, we only have an army of less than 4,000 people, two-thirds of them are mercenaries, and there is only one high-level professional. Do you think that with our strength, we can fight an adult golden dragon?"

"Then recruit more adventurers! Spread the news that there is a golden dragon here! I believe many adventurers will be interested in killing dragons!"

The middle-aged noble said eagerly.

"What about the commission? Who will pay? I don't have that much money."

The young man shook his head.

After speaking, he pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Jinlong advocates justice and rarely conflicts with humans. I think... Maybe there is some misunderstanding, we should find a way to communicate with it."

"Communication? Master Frank, all the people you sent have failed, do you still want to try? If we drag on, we will have no gold!"

The middle-aged aristocrat was in a hurry.

The boy finally became impatient, he glanced at the middle-aged noble in disgust, and said:

"Baron Paul, I'll take care of this matter. You should take care of your own business. I heard that you owed the freemen miners' wages and beat them up... I need an explanation for this matter."

"Master Frank, it's just a group of pariahs. The gold mines have been occupied. How can there be any spare money to pay them? Now it's business to deal with the dragon!"

The middle-aged noble said dissatisfiedly.

The young man gave him a deep look, the disgust in his eyes was even greater, and he said coldly:

"Paul, they are your subjects and also the subjects of the Rosen family!"

The middle-aged nobleman chuckled lightly and said:

"Master Frank, you are still too young, the people are the wealth of our nobles, and it is their duty to do things for us. Now that the world is so chaotic, we are already very kind. At that time, I provided them with food every day, and everyone thanked me very much.”

After speaking, he glanced at the castle on the mountain, shook his head and said:

"I advise you to hurry up and find a way to deal with the golden dragon. The gold mines and magic stones here are very important to the Duke. If something goes wrong, even if you are his younger brother, you will definitely be punished."

Hearing the words of the middle-aged noble, the surrounding knights cast an angry look at him, and a knight of the guard sneered:

"Your Excellency, our young master is only passing by here, and we will organize mercenaries because we are worried that the appearance of the giant dragon will threaten the town. When will it be your turn to shift the responsibility to our young master?"

"Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that? I'm the Baron of the Rosen family!"

The middle-aged man sneered.

Frank glanced at him and said lightly:

"He is my knight and the heir to the Roland family."

The middle-aged nobleman sighed slightly.

The Roland family is a noble loyal to the Rosen family in the northern territory, and it is also a distant branch of the Rosen family. Although it is now in decline, it is still an earl after all.

I saw him snorting, his arrogance weakened a lot, and finally he looked at the hillside, and then at the guards led by the young man, and said yin and yang strangely:

"Master Frank, since the Duke has sent you to patrol the territory, you have to shoulder the responsibility. If you can't solve the problem of the mine, I will definitely report it to the Duke."

"up to you."

Frank gave him a nonchalant look.

The middle-aged aristocrat was at a loss for words.

He narrowed his eyes, then sneered, and left with a few attendants who accompanied him.

Faintly, you can still hear his scolding voice:

"Hmph, it's just a wild breed who can't even inherit the title. I really think I'm the young master of the Rosen family... Bah..."

Hearing this sentence, Frank clenched his fists slightly.

"Master! Him!"

The knights around were instantly angry.

Some even drew the long sword directly, but they were quickly stopped by Frank:

"Forget it, it's just a villain, don't worry about him."

"But he actually insulted you! Insults an imperial noble!"

"A nobleman..."

A self-mockery flashed across the boy's face.

He shook his head and said:

"He is deliberately angering me, and the matter of the mine is his responsibility after all, but if I am angered, he will have a reason to shirk the responsibility..."

"Master, let's not intervene in the mine. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid it will not be clear in the end."

The knight said solemnly.

After listening to the entourage, Frank sighed and said:

"But, I am indeed on the mission of patrolling the territory, not to mention..."

He glanced at the castle and continued:

"Even if you don't mention the gold mine, a giant dragon entrenched near the city, even if it is a golden dragon, may bring danger to the citizens... I can't let it go."

"Then young master, what should we do next? Continue to find a way to negotiate with Jinlong?"

someone asked.

The young man pondered for a moment and said:

"It failed time and again before, probably because everyone couldn't break through some kind of illusion magic set up by the other party... So, if you can break through the magic, you may be able to see the other party."

After he finished speaking, he jumped off the stone and handed the cloak he was wearing to the knight.

"Master?"

The knight was puzzled.

"I'd better go there in person. I am a magic swordsman myself, with strong magic resistance, and I also brought the magic tool for body protection given to me by the teacher."

Frank said.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

The attendants around were in a hurry.

The young man smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, so many people are all right, and I'm fine, and many illusion magics are triggered. The more people, the stronger the effect of the magic. If I am alone, it will be easier to succeed."

"You stay here and wait, I'll be back when I go."

After he finished speaking, he disregarded the obstacles of the knights and walked up the hill in person.

The slopes of the mine are not high.

Frank crawled and walked, and in ten minutes, he came to the front of the castle.

The gate of the castle is open, and the interior is deep.

He took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The moment he stepped in, the surrounding scene suddenly changed drastically. Frank found himself back in the family castle. Von Rosen was sitting high on the Duke's throne, looking at him coldly.

"Take this bastard who pollutes the blood of the family and is disrespectful to the church! Kill it!"

Joseph ordered the knights in the castle.

Following his order, the golden knights rushed towards Frank.

Feeling the powerful aura on them, Frank's expression changed drastically, and an indescribable fear and anger came to his heart.

"No, I'm not a bastard!"

he growled angrily.

However, the golden knights attacked, the weapon in his hand was easily thrown away, and the icy blade pierced into his chest.

However, at this moment, a badge on his chest burst into a brilliance, and a cool force flowed through his body.

Frank's mind instantly woke up, and the scene in front of him suddenly shattered...

There is no elder brother, there is no golden knight, and there is only a dim castle hall.

At this time, Frank realized that he was already in a cold sweat.

He was gasping for breath, and his face was pale.

Until a vicissitudes of life resounded in the castle:

"Huh? It actually passed through the magic I set?"

Then, in Frank's shocked gaze, a huge golden head appeared in the castle.

Majestic eyes, long golden beards, golden scales...

It's the Golden Dragon!

However, on its majestic dragon head, a black rune is constantly spreading...

The vast Dragon Might enveloped the entire castle, causing the boy who only had silver rank to shiver.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, calmed down, and said:

"Dear Golden Dragon, my name is Frank von Rosen, and I want to talk to you."

"Rosen? The Rosen family?"

A hint of clarity flashed in Jin Long's turbid eyes.

It glanced at the young man, trembled for a moment, and said solemnly:

"Young man, the ancient seal has been broken, and the minerals here have been polluted. I advise you to leave early."

"Pollution?"

Frank was slightly taken aback.

"Leave quickly, while I can still control myself now."

Jinlong said again.

Frank wanted to say something, but Jin Long's expression suddenly became painful.

I saw a trace of black mist rising on its body, and the next second, its golden dragon pupil flashed a blood red.

"Get out of here, quickly..."

Jinlong growled lowly.

Frank's expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, he turned and fled outside the castle, but as soon as he escaped, there was a roar behind him.

The boy turned his head subconsciously, and was shocked to see a huge golden dragon over 100 meters in size breaking through the castle.

It unfolds its sail-like dragon wings, covering the sky and the sun.

And on its body, there are strange lines and terrifying breaths.

I saw the golden dragon roared, eyes blood red, and rushed towards Frank...

not good!

Frank's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly rolled to dodge, but it was too late...

it's over...

There was a sudden despair in the young man's heart.

However, just as he was about to be swallowed by the golden dragon, a cold voice suddenly came from the sky:

"Confinement."

Immediately afterwards, countless green vines burst out of the ground and entangled towards the golden dragon!
