I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 121

[Chapter 121 Haze]

After a while, Jesk and Selro got on the carriage and prepared to return to the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the carriage, Jesk frowned, and Sello looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

“Master, have you hit your head recently, um?”

Just when Sello wanted to break the peace, Jesk’s voice came to his ears.

Hearing this, he was stunned and then smiled bitterly.

“Master Jesk, how can I respond to this?” Sai Erluo felt helpless.

At this time, Jesk shook his head and sighed deeply.

“Alas, the young master is still the same young master. In order not to worry us, he made up such a white lie. Haha, which fifth-level knight is not high and mighty? How could he possibly become a chef?” He comforted himself.

As I thought about it, I felt relaxed again.

A few days passed, and Sello and the other person went to the Fantasy Restaurant for dinner every day as usual.

Even Mosan and Kajal occasionally show up in the restaurant.

When they met, they just looked at each other but didn’t say hello.

Recently, Yu Bu has been making a lot of money. He is smiling all day long and likes everyone.

…

Summer has long passed and the first autumn rain has finally arrived.

The raindrops fell on the streets and alleys of Roland City, making a series of dripping sounds.

In a remote corner of Roland City, there stands a small house.

Looking inside, there was dead silence, with only gusts of autumn wind sweeping through the room.

Suddenly, a faint light spread from the inner room of the small house.

Then, with a creak, the door opened.

“Now that you’re here, come out.” An old and hoarse voice sounded.

Before the voice fell, the sound of footsteps was heard.

“Haha, Priest Moro is still as sharp as ever.”

A middle-aged man appeared in the yard.

He was dressed in a noble suit, had black hair and a warm smile on his face.

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to the haggard old man in front of him.

“Master Priest, the High Priest asked me to tell you that this time we must succeed and not fail. The Temple has already sent people, and I believe they will arrive soon.”

Priest Moro raised his head and glanced coldly at the person in front of him.

“I know that. But you, Firoz. You failed when you tried to snatch a dragon egg. I have to doubt your ability.”

The middle-aged man’s face froze when he heard this, and then he laughed dryly twice.

He was about to explain, but Priest Moro waved his hand.

“There is no point in saying more. Since the high priest sent you to assist me, he must have his own plans.”

After a pause, he continued, “The Soul Devouring Array only needs one more person to be activated. Go and quickly capture a knight who has cultivated wood-attributed fighting spirit.”

Upon hearing this, Philos’ pupils shrank immediately.

The Soul Devouring Array is one of the three most powerful arrays in their Death Tower. It can cause knights and magicians within the range to lose their elemental sensing ability and thus their combat effectiveness.

It seems that Priest Moro has made full preparations to inflict a blow to the Bauhinia Kingdom.

When Philos thought of this, he nodded solemnly and quickly disappeared into the autumn wind.

…

Late at night, the entire Roland City was extremely quiet.

Even some of the returning mercenaries did not stay in the tavern as usual.

Recently, a layer of gloom has been spreading in Roland City. People go missing every day, causing panic among the people.

Sello was really overwhelmed, and even Jesk temporarily put aside Yu Bu’s matter and started to investigate together.

But even if two fifth-level warriors joined forces, they were unable to dispel the strange atmosphere, and could not pull out the murderer behind the scenes from the darkness.

In desperation, Cello had to seek help from Count Lorraine.
