Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

"As long as you can provide information, the reward will be as high as three million gold coins, or you can commission an alchemical weapon that is no higher than legendary. What kind of treasure is this? It is so valuable, is it an artifact?"

"It's just a black stone, what kind of artifact can it be?"

"Have you ever seen an artifact? I'm just talking nonsense here. Even if the real artifact is placed in front of you, you won't be able to recognize it."

"I haven't seen it, have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it either."

"Then what do you have to say?"

"I can't tell you if I haven't seen it. This is the reward order personally issued by His Majesty the Bronze Dragon Lord. In this world, besides artifacts, what else can make a big shot like him spend such a huge price to find it."

"What are artifacts? I heard that this noble being possesses six artifacts!"

Link, who was wearing a small green lizard leather armor, stretched out his neck and looked at the bounty notice glowing with magic aura on the bulletin board. Hearing the voices of people talking around his ears, he unconsciously shrank his body, a little. He looked around a few times guiltily.

"Hey, boy Link, what are you doing with your head down? Have you seen the little black stone on the bounty notice?"

The young Link, who was acting like a thief, immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding adventurers. With this shout, Link's body trembled unconsciously, immediately attracting more eyes.

"Hahaha, look at this kid's thief look. You really didn't pick up a stone that looks like the one on the notice. Don't dream about it!"

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, but there were also kind voices.

"Boy, don't blame us for not reminding you. If you dare to fool those dragon masters with a stone that looks very similar, your end will be very miserable."

"Yes, the stone on the reward notice can be easily made, but don't expect to get the reward just because it looks the same. It is an artifact that the noble Bronze Dragon Lord personally ordered to find."

"Everyone who tries to fool the Dragon Clan will eventually get what they deserve. Little Link, don't be too smart. This bounty has nothing to do with us."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Link was a little embarrassed to deal with the adventurers around him who were more or less related to him by blood, and then fled from the bulletin board and returned to the dilapidated wooden house located on the edge of the town.

"Three million gold coins?!"

Link's breathing gradually became heavier as he recalled the bounty amount he had just seen on the bulletin board. This was an amount he had never dreamed of.

Because at this moment, even if he searched all over his body and the whole house, he could not find three gold coins. That kind of shining precious metal currency can only be used freely by the most powerful adventurers.

In this small town, even if everyone's property is collected, they may not be able to collect 10,000 gold coins. This is an ordinary town that uses surrounding natural resources such as timber and ore as raw materials for export.

The highest-level mission an adventurer in this town can receive is to drive away ferocious beasts from farmland and plantation forests. The most dangerous mission an adventurer like him has ever received is to hunt down a wild boar. , As for what the ferocious beast looks like, he has never seen it until now. It's not that he is timid, but that his uncles who are related to him don't let him come into contact with it.

"What is an alchemical weapon?"

The bounty amount was so huge that it made it difficult for the young man to breathe. The other reward that was juxtaposed with it made him a little confused because it was beyond his cognitive scope.

However, this did not prevent his heartbeat from gradually accelerating, because he quickly pulled out an eight-sided rhombus crystal from his dilapidated wooden pile.

He looked at the dark crystal carefully and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He just saw clearly that the reward notice that had been exerted with magical power even showed a three-dimensional, slowly rotating dark crystal. The stone is exactly the same as the stone in his hand.

"Three million gold coins!"

The young man held the stone in his hand tightly. It was one of the relics left to him by his father. He never understood the use of this stone.

However, he also discovered the peculiarity of this stone, because no matter what method he used, whether it was soaked in fire, soaked in water, or chopped with a sword, there was no way to leave a single trace.

However, now it seems that this is normal. How can he destroy an item that can make a noble dragon offer such a high price?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why did you come back in such a hurry? It turns out that you really have a stone exactly like the one on the reward notice."

At this time, a voice of admiration sounded outside the house, and then, a man with a beard, a very tough temperament, and a long scar on his face squeezed in from outside the house, looked at the panicked man, and tried to The young man hiding under the stone.

"Uncle Victor!"

"Little Link, show your uncle the stone in your hand."

The bearded man walked towards the young man step by step with a smile.

"No, no, this is what my father left me. This is my thing."

Link stepped back step by step.

"Your father? That good-for-nothing guy who likes to run around everywhere?"

A look of disdain suddenly appeared on the face of veteran adventurer Victor. He knew that the father of the nephew in front of him was a freak with an incredible enthusiasm and love for adventure and travel.

"My father is not a waste!"

The initially timid young man was touched. After setting the bottom line of not being offended, infinite courage suddenly burst out.

"What? You still want to fight with me?"

Seeing the irritated young man, the bearded man paused in his steps. Although he claimed to be an adventurer, he knew what level he was at.

"Have you forgotten? Without me, you and your mother would have died of hunger long ago. Have you forgotten who paid for the cemetery when you buried your mother?"

"Shameless, you occupied the house left by my father, and now you still have the nerve to say such things."

Young Link suddenly turned red with anger. His father's legacy was not only this stone, but also a large house in the center of the town.

"It's been so many years and you are still saying such stupid things. I told you that your father has no inheritance rights to that house at all. I have always been the owner of that house. I just did it for the sake of my brother." That's why I allowed your father to live there, but I also have a wife and a daughter, and I also need a house, and I didn't let you sleep in the wilderness!"

"Do you dare to say this in the Temple of Justice?"

"Haha, little Link, don't delay any more. Give me the stone in your hand. It just happens to be the same stone as the one on the reward notice. How much do you think it can be exchanged for?

I can give you three gold coins. With this money, you can repair and take care of your shabby house that is leaking everywhere, and you will not shiver when you sleep at night. Winter is coming soon. , you don’t want to freeze to death, right? "

The middle-aged man's face showed impatience. Although he didn't have much hope, he might as well give it a try.

After all, the father of the boy in front of him has been wandering outside for most of his life. He might actually pick up something good. If he could exchange it for three million gold coins, he couldn't imagine how much the rest of his life would be like. Wonderful.

"You're dreaming!"

Link refused without thinking. He had never seen more than ten gold coins piled together in his life. He couldn't even imagine how much three million gold coins could be, and whether he could use this room to They are all piled up.

But he knew that this might be the only time in his life that he could escape his mediocre fate and leave this city where no one could see the future or hope.

"Little Link, don't force me to do anything to you. I am your uncle after all. Once you see blood, it will be really ugly."

"I am no longer the child I was back then. You can never take anything away from me."

The young man suddenly pulled out a hunting knife that he had hidden under the bed board. Since his childhood, his parents had left one after another and the unstable life he had experienced had made him feel extremely insecure.

"Hahaha, you want to play with knives with me? Okay, okay, then I'll have some fun with your ignorant nephew."

The senior adventurer Victor also pulled out a short knife at his waist.

Ding~

The sound of metal colliding resounded in the dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the town, golden sparks splashed, and then blood flowed. After all, the young adventurer was not as experienced as the veteran who had been fighting beasts for half his life, and his wrists were soon cut.

"For the sake of me being your uncle, give me the stone. Three gold coins are not enough. I can give you six. No more. This is just a stone."

The bearded man who had suppressed his nephew felt a little proud, feeling that everything was under his control.

"you……"

Scarlet blood soaked into the ordinary-looking stone, and then traces of blood invaded the stone. Misty blood burst out from the inside of the stone, quickly attracting the attention of the two people in the wooden house.

"What are you doing?"

Victor's laughter suddenly stopped, and then he suddenly clenched the short knife in his hand. As an adventurer who had only come into contact with ferocious beasts at most, the extraordinary sight in front of him made him a little overwhelmed.

The most correct approach is to directly kill the source of this change, which is his nephew. However, although he is greedy, he is not so cruel.

Killing one's own relatives for an unspecified stone, committing such an act, will never allow him to have a foothold in the town in the future. Parricide is not welcome anywhere, and may even be punished with death.

"I……"

Link was frightened and at a loss when faced with such changes, and didn't know what to do.

However, wisps of blood soon flowed out from the crystal, and then they gathered together to outline the appearance of a heroic young man. He was wearing gorgeous robes. Although his eyes were slightly dull, he turned gently and powerfully. The aura caused this wooden house that was quite noisy just now to fall into silence.

"What time is it now?"

After a moment of silence, a bright light appeared in the eyes of this extraordinary young man. He looked at the young man whose wrist was still bleeding and asked in a gentle tone.

"It is now 2581 in the Calendar of the Gods, and the harvest season has just ended."

At this moment, the young man had ignored the tingling sensation on his wrist and looked at the young man in front of him with excitement. He was now certain that the stone in his hand was probably the soul stone that the noble bronze dragon master was looking for.

"Is it already 2581? Time flies so fast!"

The bloody young man looked out the window of the wooden house, at the peaceful and peaceful town, his eyes filled with nostalgia and reminiscence.

"Who is your ruler? Is it the Dragon Clan?"

"Yes, but Master Long has a very good character and a gentle attitude. However, you cannot violate the Bronze Code. Once you violate the regulations in the code, you will be brutally punished."

Link's face showed lingering fear.

"Dragon? Have a good personality?"

The soul body that was released from the soul stone suddenly showed a strange look on its face. It was a little difficult for him to understand, but he thought about it again.

"The Bronze Code? Are you ruled by a bronze dragon?"

"That's right."

"What about Carlos, the Blue Ting King? Do you know about this evil dragon?"

"Are you talking about the strongest evil dragon in the history of the Elmond continent? He has been killed by His Majesty the Bronze Dragon Lord and the Dragon Gods together. I heard that the dragon soul has been taken away."

"Already killed?"

Suddenly hearing such news, the soul body, which had been asleep for more than half a century, couldn't help but feel a little dazed, but soon he felt a bit of curiosity and expectation in his heart.

"Who is the Bronze Dragon Lord?"

"It's you, it must be you. His Majesty the Bronze Dragon Lord spent three million gold coins and the right to customize an alchemical weapon. It must be you who used the reward for the information."

At this time, veteran adventurer Victor finally came to his senses. He raised his hand excitedly and pointed at the majestic and unflappable young man.

"You are Aslan, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Ansel, the only short-lived best friend of His Majesty the Bronze Dragon Lord! That's it, that's it. No wonder His Majesty is willing to spend such a huge price to reward information, so it makes sense pass."

Victor seemed to have figured something out, and was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground. He saw huge wealth waving to him.

"You're talking about Diriel! Bronze Dragon Lord? With such a title, are you planning to found a country and become emperor?"

Aslan soon knew who the Bronze Dragon Lord the two adventurers in front of him were talking about. This was probably the only dragon in the world who would pay such a huge price to find him.

Otherwise, he couldn't think of any dragon other than this guy who would be so willing.

"It will probably take a while longer. Don't rush it. If you can come and help me, I think it will go much faster."

A calm and gentle voice sounded, and a black arc appeared, and then spread quickly. The void collapsed, the space cracked, and a space corridor leading to the magnificent palace appeared in the wooden house on the edge of this unknown town. .

"This is……"

Just a ray of dragon power escaping from the space corridor made the two adventurers in the wooden house stiff, like sculptures, and their joints were as sore as mechanical gears that had not been running for many years.

"What are you waiting for? Come here, everyone!"

A gentle but irresistible force came. Under the influence of this force, everyone and their souls in the wooden house passed through the space corridor and entered the magnificent palace.
