Chapter 1051: White-Robed Dragon Queen

A large number of mid-to-high-tier demons have broken through the Ice-Sealed Great Rift defense line and are currently running rampant in the countryside!

This is shocking news!

It is no wonder so many people are fleeing to the big cities!

Demons are naturally Chaos Evil creatures with immense destructive power; the militia in ordinary rural areas cannot deal with them.

Only in the big cities are there enough high-tier professionals!

Aaron followed the Nutcracker caravan, and entering the city went quite smoothly, without any particularly annoying repetitive checks.

After all, the enemy this time is demons!

And to let demons complete a secret infiltration operation? Uh... it would be better to let devils become kind first.

"Then... let us part ways here."

Now that they are living so miserably, what benefit is there in joining them?

Rather than going to crusade against demons for free, it is better to check the Adventurers' Guild; there are always some lords who will post quests to expel demons from their territories.

This was unimaginable in the past, but it is not rare at all now.

The receptionist flipped through the records and replied with a smile: "Sorry... this quest has a higher difficulty; it requires an adventurer squad or multiple adventurers working together to complete."

Actually, he should be looking for organizations like the Thieves' Guild to inquire about information.

"Are you also taking the quest for Roland Castle? Then let's go together!"

【Quest: Recapture the Castle!】

He bypassed the houses directly, walking on the wall at an almost vertical angle; his agility is definitely over 20, he has mastered the 'Supernatural Agility' feat, and may have even comprehended the 'Wall-Walking' skill!

"Young bard..."

Aaron came to the counter and said to the sweet-looking receptionist: "I want to take the quest for Roland Castle!"

Whether it is the Chosen, one's own Bloodline, or even the will hidden within Divinity...

"Hmm, then let's consider the problem of saving the world first..."

Even the most useless white dragon will inevitably enter the 'Legend' realm after reaching adulthood!

Dragons have always occupied important roles in the adventure stories of the continent, and this Mother of Evil Dragons belonged to those who were unwilling to submit to the Outer Gods, was struck down to the Material Plane in the form of a 'Saint', and was then among the first batch of unlucky ones to fall.

"This quest has never been taken; it is definitely because the reward is too low. 500 gold coins to risk one's life against demons? It's a wonder the other party could think of that, and there is no specific intelligence..."

This caused the price of grain in the city to triple in one go, alcohol to rise fivefold, and as for the price of streetwalkers, it rose tenfold! And the quality was extremely poor!

Aaron was very disdainful of this; they were a bunch of guys driving up prices, and he disdained to associate with them.

At his feet, Erha was holding a dog bowl, eating his leftovers quite happily, gulping it down with a rumbling sound.

Inside the 'Grey Beard' tavern.

Unless one goes out and takes the heads of demons to claim the bounty; this is the bounty hunter mode.

Between these powerful landmarks, there is a faint connection, jointly forming a powerful 'Mythallar'!

You can also understand it as an ultra-large-scale barrier! Or an Array Formation!

Within this barrier, anyone of the 'Chaos Evil Domain' will have nowhere to hide!

Several large paladin teams even organized several suicide attacks, and then no matter how many demons and monks they killed, they ultimately failed against the even more powerful Chaos and Evil!

"Yes... She is now called the 'White-Robed Dragon Queen Earth Mother', and she has converted a batch of evil dragons that believe in her, turning them into 'Protector Heavenly Dragons', which are actually existences similar to 'Dracoliches'. A large number of dragons attacked the front line, leading to the temporary collapse of the eastern front, and even a 'Chosen of the Moon' fell..."

The Adventurers' Guild often has such bounties; there is no need to take the quest first, as one can just bring the quest items to collect the money.

Watching the back of the paladin as he left, Aaron frowned: "This perception... is at least over 30 points, right? As expected of the most powerful paladin in the Material Plane, could his professional level already be close to level 40?"

The black-robed person of the Harpers paused, then spoke: "But I do know some information... The reason the eastern war zone collapsed suddenly is because those evil Outer Gods resurrected the 'Mother of Evil Dragons'!"

He looked at the subtitles scrolling on the wall one by one, confirming suitable quests.

But isn't this a coincidence?

"I am not an intelligence merchant..."

That way, not only can I earn experience, but there is also money to be made!

After walking out of the alley, Aaron suddenly patted his head: "No... I am not a sightseeing tourist; I shoulder the heavy responsibility of defeating 【Vairocana】... I cannot truly become an adventurer."

The leader wore platinum armor, had a handsome face, and the long sword hanging at his waist was actually an Artifact!

"It is Lord Sith!"

Aaron waved his hand and turned to leave with Erha.

"Besides that, is there only the path of scamming the gods of the Secret Teachings left? After all, because they want to harvest believers in the future, they are extremely generous when cultivating them, and basically willing to give anything... although they are all high-interest loans, if I don't pay them back, they aren't loans anymore."

"I do not want to join the Harpers to become new blood, but I want to know the news from the front line... for example—the news of why the eastern front was broken through before."

"Sorry..."

Joyful zither music flowed between his five fingers, full of a sense of pleasure after lying flat.

Sith, riding on a celestial holy horse, frowned slightly, looked at the crowd, and then his gaze straightened again.

Bang!

Just at this moment, a young man who had drunk too much suddenly threw his wine glass and jumped onto the table: "They slaughter, they plunder, those outsiders, they snatched away our land, our castles! They even burn our books, wanting our descendants to be serfs for generations!"

"The dwarves' hills were pushed down by them, a large number of dwarves became miner slaves, the Elf Forest was ignited by them, and beautiful female elves were forced to become their 'Wisdom Queens'! Even the Amazon warriors could not escape this kind of fate!"

There seemed to be the scent of a 【False God】, but in the current Kahn City, there could be over ten Saints who have descended, so this is nothing.

【Quest Description: Baron Roland's castle has been captured by a group of demons, requiring adventurers to clear them out...】

Aaron muttered to himself: "As expected, when pushed to a dead end, all parties have brought out most of their core technologies... I didn't know before that there were still 'Arcanists' on the continent; shouldn't they have disappeared after the Arcane Empire era, and only be occasionally seen in the Astral Plane?"

"Forget it... I am thinking too much..."

The other party had short hair, was taciturn, wore a cloth robe, and had bandages wrapped around his hands; monks are all very good at unarmed combat and are proficient in dodging, and most importantly, they have mastered the power of 'Qi'.

Three days later.

As far as the eye could see, mid-tier professionals were everywhere, with the occasional high-tier professional.

Although the current general trend is for all races to join hands, put aside all prejudices, and resist the Outer Gods together.

But at this moment, the hall could be called a gathering of heroes.

Aaron cursed and swore, kicked the husky on the ground, and likewise walked out of the "Grey Beard" bar.

The Crystal Wall System war has already changed many things.

"In the areas occupied by the Evil God... the cleansing campaigns never cease. They want to enslave us for eternity, make our descendants ignorant, willing to be slaves, and even offer their own wives and daughters for those monks to enjoy!"

Being an adventurer is not a very good profession; it is not stable and is prone to injury.

The Adventurer's Guild in Kahn City is very large, and it is currently bustling with noise.

Aaron was holding a lute, improvising a performance.

At the entrance of the bar, he saw a subtle mark, representing that there was a contact person for a certain organization here.

Aaron smiled, seeing the vicissitudes and exhaustion of the other party.

Aaron smiled slightly, took a bag of gold coins from his spatial bag, and tossed it over.

Aaron looked over and discovered it was a female half-elf rogue, wearing a tight-fitting breastplate, revealing a snow-white navel; she didn't even look at what the weather was like outside.

However, after falling once and being resurrected, perhaps the other party has recognized reality?

The fact that the other party did not submit at first, but instead tried to resist, was what made Aaron feel it was somewhat unusual.

Many people's beliefs collapsed, and they even fell into depravity!

The crowds on both sides cheered one after another, while Aaron stood on the side of the road, trying his best not to have any sense of presence.

However, forced by life, he still had to come and play the lute to earn money.

"Now, it is the turn of the Northmen, yet you only know how to drink here!"

He sensed a trace of an Evil Domain aura.

Furthermore, the specialties of the Primordial Body, Diamond Body, and Ethereal Body allow them to be used as half-warriors when necessary.

If he didn't run, the dwarves and elves beside him whose eyes had turned red... and even the Drow elves and Amazon warriors could eat him alive!

"What a buzzkill... disturbing my business!"

That tune of desperate hedonism before death matched the people seeking pleasure in the bar very well.

"Such keen perception."

【Reward: 500 gold coins】

Just kidding!

Mother of Evil Dragons!

Aaron looked at Kahn City; this city is very large, and there are professional guards patrolling everywhere on the streets.

He stopped in front of Aaron, his scrutinizing gaze looking Aaron up and down.

Moreover, the Adventurer's Guild does not want too many adventurer casualties, and with his status as a mid-tier professional, it is basically impossible to hunt demons alone.

Well, he came here mainly to gather intelligence; the side business is just doing business.

Even if a judgment of evil suddenly came, Aaron would not be surprised at all.

After all, gods of the Evil Domain have no psychological barriers to surrendering if they cannot win, and the Divine Kingdom of the "Mother of Evil Dragons" is near the Abyss.

The young man wanted to say more, but was carried onto the shoulder by his companion and ran out.

Aaron did not feel surprised; on the contrary, he felt it was a matter of course.

"Fortunately, a Demigod happened to be nearby, so the situation did not worsen, but a large number of demons still rushed into the North."

The black-robed person of the Harpers looked at Aaron: "We are preparing to organize a demon crusade team and urgently need new members to join."

Red dragons, black dragons, green dragons...

However, the figure was quite good and also quite seductive.

In the square in front of the "Ice and Snow Palace" at the very center, there is a statue of the Goddess of Ice and Snow...

"People from the Harpers?"

In the era when the Magic Net collapsed, a mage who still has the qualifications to raise a Mage Tower must be a "Grand Arcanist"!

Not only the Mage Tower, but in the center of the city, there is also a huge oak tree that looks like a pillar supporting the sky!

Therefore, long before entering the city, he had hidden the "Spirit Bone Prayer Beads," otherwise, if seen by this Paladin of Siss, he really wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

The reason for still issuing the quest was entirely out of consideration for aristocratic reputation.

Some adventurers formed small teams and quickly accepted suitable quests; there were not many quests suitable for individuals.

This is because the elites of the entire continent are gathering in the North, and some professionals of the "Good" alignment have already spontaneously gone to clear out demons.

However, the benefit of doing this is that the public order in Kahn City is extremely good, and even petty theft is extremely rare.

"This Kahn City is really too dangerous; it's not surprising to bump into a Saint just by walking around..."

He estimated that the little noble had already moved his whole family to a big city to take refuge, and then issued a quest just to make a gesture.

Suddenly.

At the same time, it is also suppressing the power of all professionals, and even monitoring spellcasting, acting as a "temporary Magic Net."

Just at this moment, someone nearby suddenly spoke.

Even magic-type professions such as Druids and Warlocks are not lacking.

However, True Gods are not easy to die in the first place.

Aaron came to the back alley of the bar, waited for a while, and a black-robed person walked over.

But Paladins are all stubborn, and may not be willing to listen!

Of course, these are not the point; the point is that in the sky, there is actually still a Mage Tower floating!

"Unless I run into a sucker of a True God... willing to entrust their Godhood, Divine Duty, Divine Power, and Divinity to me... in that case, even an ordinary person could potentially ascend to godhood in one fell swoop!"

He wandered around, his eyes lit up, and he found a shop run by a mage, then went in to fence his goods—no, that's not right, to sell the spoils of a normal hunt.

Although He is only a Lesser Power, He is the source of all chromatic dragons on the continent.

"I..."

"I'm a mid-tier professional, for crying out loud, how am I supposed to save the world? Grinding for experience is a bit too slow as well..."

However, Aaron looked at his map and discovered that Roland Castle was indeed very close to the small village Wendy mentioned.

And beside the other party, there was actually a Monk!

Not the dime-a-dozen Fighter class, but a true Monk!

Even if these contingencies did not work, as long as there are still people in the Material Plane chanting Their divine names, They still have the possibility of returning from the void!

Hmm, those who can come here to drink now are the wealthiest of the wealthy.

Aaron first went to register briefly and received an adventurer's badge; it was actually free.

"Arcanist, Natural barrier... Sanctuary of the Gods..."

"If I want to do this, it would be best to further comprehend the Secret Mantra... wait, I am a handsome bard, becoming a monk doesn't fit my style!"

Just as Aaron was complaining to his dog, a squad of Knights came from not far away.

Even if they died, They had contingencies for resurrection.

In the years since the Outer Gods invaded the continent, those benevolent organizations have had the hardest time.

Aaron's eyes lit up when he saw a quest.

Due to the repeated failures of the resistance army on the continent, a large number of routed soldiers, nobles, and professionals fled north, and in the end, most of them chose to settle in Ka'en.

"Has this True God also defected to those Outer Gods?"

After all, even if they didn't issue a quest, once the Ice and Snow Kingdom caught its breath after a certain amount of time, they would take the initiative to send people to clear out those Demons.

"The most powerful Paladin!"

The most critical thing is that Aaron feels a kind of deathly aura on the other party.

The other party might not be from the Way of the Open Hand or the Way of the Four Elements, but rather the much rarer and more extreme Way of the Long Death!
