Human Caravan

These bandits! Scammers!

Those fools really dared to steal Meryers treasure while it was away!

The Black Dragon was absolutely livid and vowed severe consequences to those Orcs that dared to mess with its things.

Without hesitation, Meryer immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the direction of its old castle to retrieve the treasures those beastmens are currently plundering.

However, a familiar and solemn voice echoed in its mind as soon as the dragon flew past the area it was ordered not to leave.

If you want to fulfill someone elses dragon-slaying fantasies then by all means, go back right ahead.

Meryer paused.

It then looked in the direction of the great tree with its eyes turning bloodshot red.

What do you mean?

The voice sighed, One of my followers had already met the Godwarden of the Hunter God and is now at that place you wanted to go. I estimated that hes more or less around the low to mid gold rank.

A Godwarden!

Meryers pupils shrank slightly.

After witnessing Eves abilities, it was already deathly afraid of the power of true gods like her.

Since those foolish Orcs actually dared to touch your belongings, surely they must not be afraid of your return as well. Im fairly certain that they are anticipating for your return with some kind of trap. The title of Dragon Slayer is an honor for many after all.

Eve continued to coax and lead the conversation with some kind of plan in mind.

Although she worded it as if they deliberately plundered despite knowing Meryer was still alive, the truth was that the Orcs thought the Dragon was already dead before they went after its treasures. Nonetheless it was enough to trick the Little Black Dragon and sow discord between it and Meryers former underlings.

They dare! This Lord Meryer will definitely punish them!

Eve involuntarily smirked lopsidedly at seeing the Black Dragons rage burn so fiercely.

Any moment now

I think Uller is even more interested in dragons than I do. You should think about itHe has the word Hunting in his divine title for a reason.

In fact, although the vampire was a low-gold rank, Meryer was still a dragon.

Dragons were almost invincible against any races despite being at the same level, while the combat capability of the blood race was always relatively inferior

If Little Black Dragon were to face him without the vampire using any divine power, Eve estimated that they would be evenly matched and at least be able to escape should things turn sour.

However, it didnt hurt to scare the dragon with Uller.

Upon hearing these words, Little Black Dragon immediately hesitated.

It remembered the humiliation and fear of being caught by this evil god.

It didnt want to experience that again.

I am the enemy of this so called Hunter God named Uller. If you pledge your loyalty unto me then I will vow to send my followers to help you in retrieving your treasure.

Those Orcs true agenda has now been torn off. Im sure you had also realized that they only want your treasures. I dont think you still consider them as your loyal subordinates, do you?

Eve continued to sway its mind.

After listening to her words, Meryer fell silent.

To be honest, this evil god has been treating it pretty well so far. Moreover, those beastmen have disregarded it and set their sights upon its treasure!

Any creature that dares to steal from a dragons treasure is an enemy of dragons, no matter who they are!

Meryer really misjudged those guys!

Perhaps this mysterious evil god is right, it was deceived by those Orcs.

Thinking again about how this female god caught it and let it live a comfortable life in the small town, with plenty of foods and drink with her believers pleasing and massages it on a daily basis

In comparison to its previous life

Meryer was somewhat moved.

It seems not so bad?

If you can retrieve my treasures for me, this Lord can also stand on your sidefor now.

The little black dragon turned its head away, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Of course.

Eve softly laughed.

With the confirmation from the evil god, Meryer breathed a sigh of relief.

It struggled for a moment before making a decision.

The little black dragon flew down from the sky and slightly bowed in the direction of the god tree:

So under the Gods full grace, please tell this one your full name oh Great One.

Silence.

Ev Yggdrasill.

The ethereal and sacred voice resounded in Meryers mind.

Ev Yggdrasill?

Meryer was slightly stunned.

Yggdrasill this name sounds oddly familiar

Meryer muttered then its iris shrunk swiftly.

YgYggdrasill?

Suddenly, the little black dragon lifted its head, and its dragon face was full of dread and shock:

I remembered now! You no, you are the Old Ancient One whom fought against the evil ancestral black dragon, Niddhogg!

Boxlunch finally woke up and he found himself tightly bound with ropes with his mouth even covered with cloth.

He furrowed his brow and instinctively tried to wiggle out but alas he found that the rope seemed to be very special and had the power to bind his skills.

After struggling in futility, he finally looked around and realized that he was trapped in a space that resembled a large cargo box.

It was very dark around him, and the entire space was shaking slightly as if in motion.

The confined space was made out of wood and had tiny hole gaps that allowed him to see the outside.

Boxlunch leaned in and looked through the gaps before seeing a forest outside, with the scenery constantly moving backwards as the carriage jitters on a rocky road.

At the same time, he could see several fully armed human mercenaries marching alongside as they steadily marches forward

Cargo box? Carriage? Humans?

Box felt a stir in his heart.

At this moment, he heard a rustling sound beside him. Boxlunch turned his head warily and saw another petite figure.

It was another female elf who was tied up and leaning against the cargo, sleeping deeply with her long eyelashes quivering slightly as if having a nightmare.

NPC?

Boxlunch furrowed his brow slightly.

He fell silent for a moment, closed his eyes, and opened the chat interface in the game system.

As he entered the board, he found that his inbox had been bombarded by pms, all sent by his party and some guild members:

Hey Box, where are you? Did that strange guy we saw earlier managed to catch you?

Yo Boxlunch, reply asap when you come online!

Hey, the Black Dragon has finally been tamed by the Goddess and is ready to take us to destroy a Beastmen stronghold!

Captain~ theres a new main quest!

Were going to accept the quest first. If you come online, just join the team and find us okay?

A new main quest?

Boxlunch was stunned.

He quickly looked at the quest system and found that there was indeed a new one Destroying the Orc Stronghold.

After a moment of silence, he mentally accepted the quest and then applied to join the raid team.

Unlike other online games, in Elf Kingdom, players are automatically kicked out of the party after logging out, so they need to rejoin after logging back in.

After Boxlunch joined the raid group chat, the #main_channel immediately became lively:

Yo Captain! Youre finally online!

Box where the heck did you go? How come you were offline for so long?

Hey man come to Elf Town quick, were farming resources to prep for a Raid! This time, the Black Dragon is included in the campaign!

Lol I dont know what the goddess did, but that dumb lazyass lizard, who only knew how to eat grilled meat suddenly became so motivated and immediately became obedient lmao.

Hahaha, I heard that apparently some orc mobs raided its lair and Little Blackie is furious lolol.

After reading everyones deluge of pm, Boxlunch thought for a moment and replied:

Sorry, I couldnt log in before, it seems like Ive been captured by some human NPCs.

The chat lurkers were shocked:

Huh, Captured you say?

Oh goddess! WaitNPCs?! @Boxlunch where did you encounter those human NPCs?!

The hell? Box, your coordinates are so far away! Youre still moving slowly what the

Shocked_kitten.gif () !

Hidden quest! It must be a hidden questline!

Oi noob dont ping the mods unless its important!

At this time, Boxlunch suddenly heard the humans outside clamoring:

Hey, todays luck is really good. Not only did we make a big profit from the Orcs but we also picked up an injured elf along the way!

We sold a lot of magical materials at a high price, plus two elves. Were going to get rich this time!

After this deal, Ill apply to retire from the guild. Hehe, Im not so young anymore, Ive saved enough money already and its time to finally settle down.

Ahh so enviousthis is only my second escort mission. Speaking of which, isnt that tribe always dirt poor? How did they suddenly have so much money?

You dont know this but I heard they raided a black dragons lair

What thetheyre really daring! Arent they afraid of retaliation?

Heh, since they dare to do it, the black dragon must have been killed already, right?

Then why did they buy so many magical materials? Arent those just the items the mage lords needs. Those big rough guyshmph, they bought the goods and couldnt wait for us to leave. I dont know what theyre up to.

Hehe, youre asking me about this! I just happened to hear from the caravans mage that those orcs seemed to be buying materials for a cross-realm summoninghmm, theyre all followers of the hunting god, so I guess that their god will target some unlucky forces again this time? Who knows maybe even elves!

Theyre going to summon a divine messenger again? Tsk tsk, theyre really boldin the past few decades, the orcs have been the most troublesome. The expansion of the Winter and Hunting Gods forces is so strong, Im afraid it will attract the attention of other churches

Why bother with all that? This isnt a human kingdom idiot. The more chaos there is, the better. We can just rake in the money here! Hahaha!

Nihils Note : As per readers suggestion (tnx Nathan!) Eves last name is changed to Yggdrasill from now on instead.
