Chapter 93 Do it yourself!
It has to be said that Duanmu Huai's decision to take the upper-level route was correct. After learning that the evil dragon's actions may affect humans' impression of the dragon, especially Gu Leiya may be expelled from Manalia. After that, An immediately wrote to his father to discuss the problem of evil dragons.
Gulea also wrote to her father to discuss countermeasures.
Fortunately, news soon came from both sides.
Guleya's father, the King of the Dragon Clan, was also worried about the evil dragon's rampage. After communicating with Guleya, he decided to go to the Kingdom of Manalia in person to discuss the crusade against the evil dragon. And An's father also agreed to the request of the Dragon King, so the two parties decided to discuss the evil dragon's crusade in the King of Manalia. Naturally, An and Gu Leiya would also participate. As for Duanmu Huai, they would discuss it with the Holy Spirit. The representative of the church attended in his name—after all, he was also a paladin.
Although it doesn't look like it.
However, the result of this meeting... was far from satisfactory.
"Dad is such an idiot! Big idiot!"
An angrily walked into the room and slammed the door hard. Seeing An's angry look, Duanmuhuai and Gu Leiya looked at each other helplessly. Of course, they also knew why An was so angry.
In fact, the meeting went smoothly at first. Everyone agreed that the evil dragon was a threat that needed to be dealt with, and agreed to send a crusade team.
But the selection of the expedition team... has become a big problem.
It goes without saying that the evil dragon Favna is very powerful. To conquer such an evil dragon, you will naturally need an elite and powerful team. Then the question arises. The kings of Manalia and Regnis cannot personally risk their lives. This is not their responsibility as rulers.
So who is going to go?
In terms of strength, An and Gu Leiya are naturally the best candidates, but the problem is that they are also princesses and cannot take risks. Not only that, humans and dragons are also at loggerheads over the issue of candidates. In the eyes of humans, evil dragons are your kindred spirits, and you should take the initiative to clean up this mess, so you must send out elite troops and strong generals.
But from the perspective of the Dragon Clan, humans do this just to kill people with a borrowed knife, pitting themselves against evil dragons, and then they reap the benefits. Therefore, they believed that it should be fair and just, and asked Manalia to produce an equal number of elites.
However, the humans are not willing to do so. They think this is the rhythm of the dragon clan who want to wipe out all their top combat power. After all, humans are not like the dragon clan, all of them are strong. If all the strong humans died in the battle against the evil dragon, wouldn't the dragon clan be able to call them here and there at will?
As a result, the meeting fell into an endless loop. Both sides were worried that the other party was up to no good, and naturally they could not cooperate sincerely. The selection issue was also delayed again and again, and in the end no agreement was reached. Although An protested to his father, there was no result.
In the end, the group returned to the academy without any results.
"There is also a lot of pressure from my father. I heard that when he returned this time, many ministers had already expressed dissatisfaction with him, thinking that Regnis should not take the initiative to participate in the battle between evil dragons and humans... …”
Gu Leiya also sighed silently, having nothing to say.
"You don't seem so surprised? Mr. Knight?"
Looking curiously at Duanmuhuai, who was drinking black tea silently, An asked doubtfully, while Duanmuhuai spread his hands.
"This is normal. Once politics is involved, there will always be many problems. This is why in many stories, everyone cannot work together until the critical moment. Like now, unless the evil dragon attacks Regnis and Mana at the same time Leah, otherwise it would be difficult for both parties to unite and cooperate sincerely.”
"But by then, it's too late!"
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Duanmuhuai shook his head.
"Since I can't make a decision, I plan to go by myself."
"Eh??!!"
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's decision, An and Gu Liya looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
"Mr. Knight, are you going to defeat the evil dragon?"
"Of course, that was my original plan. If we can unite everyone to act together, then the chance of winning will be higher. But from the current point of view, although Regnis and Manalia are allies, the relationship between the two parties is not strong. In this case, even if the two sides form an alliance, it is difficult to say whether it will become more difficult and complicated, so I decided to fight against the evil dragon - after all, as a paladin, this is also my responsibility. "< br>
Duanmu Huai has now determined that the evil dragon Favna is probably the final BOSS of this world fragment. Originally, he hoped to unite the two countries to go up together. But now it seems that there is almost no chance of cooperation between the two parties due to conflicts and disputes. This is probably why it turned into a war between humans and dragons in the end.
Since neither of these two countries can count on it, Duanmuhuai can only rely on himself. As for whether he can win...he doesn't think it's a big problem. After all, Duanmuhuai also collected a lot of spell cards while studying magic at Manalia Academy, and because he is in the fragmented world, he doesn't have to think about it at all. As for the upper limit of space heat, just fill it up and push it up.
As for if you can't fight, you can still run.
Not only that, in the previous meeting, Duanmu Huai also noticed a scent that he was very familiar with. Obviously, both parties were not wrong, but due to some force majeure, they had to step into the abyss step by step. This rhythm is really like the work of the deceitful god.
This was the biggest reason why he gave up the joint plan. The more complex the plan, the higher the possibility that the God of Deception would be involved, and the more likely it would be overturned. Running over and ransacking the house without saying a word is the best way to deal with that scheming guy.
To put it bluntly, no matter how good you are at playing tricks, I will knock you down with one shot.
Even if you have 180 different tricks later, it will be useless.
Duanmu Huai's character is to do what he says, or to say that he is very quick. The day after he decided to take action, he told the student union that he had something urgent to do and wanted to leave the college. Of course Duanmu Huai would not be stupid enough to say that he was going to fight against the evil dragon. He just said that there was news from the Holy City that he needed to go back. The college didn't pay special attention to this and just nodded in agreement.
After leaving the city, Duanmuhuai summoned the Metal Secret Dragon and prepared to set off, but at this moment, his head turned to the woods nearby.
"Come out, we're all following you, what do you want to do?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, he saw three figures emerging from the woods. The two in front were dressed like thieves and wrapped themselves in cloaks. Needless to say, they were An and Gu Leiya. As for the ones behind, , is the eternal follower, Owen, Ann's guardian knight.
"Although I have almost guessed it, I still have to ask, what do you want to do?"
Duanmuhuai looked at them helplessly and asked, while An raised his hand.
"As you can see, Mr. Knight, we also want to work with you to destroy the evil dragon!"
As he spoke, An looked at Duanmu Huai, his eyes shining.
"This should be no problem, Mr. Knight! Haven't you participated in many adventures before and defeated enemies like this?"
"Theoretically it's possible, but..."
"But what?"
"But can you two pampered princesses adapt to the adventurous life outside?"
Duanmuhuai looked at An and Gu Leiya and sighed helplessly.
"I want to explain in advance that the adventurous life in the wild is not as romantic as in novels and stories. There is no place to bathe, hot food, and soft beds. Maybe you will find out when you wake up. There are snakes and bugs everywhere under the body, and if you are in the forest, there will be mosquitoes and poisonous insects. To be honest, this is not something you, the pampered princess, can tolerate.”
Having said this, Duanmuhuai looked at Owen behind them again.
There was a large suitcase on his left hand, a large suitcase on his right hand, and a baggage bigger than himself on his back, and he didn't know what was in it.
"Just keep two sets of changes of clothes and some dry food, and throw away all the rest."
"Hey————!"
An was shocked when he heard this.
"Then we will read books on the road, as well as cosmetics and so on..."
"Of course I'm throwing it away! Are you going? If not, go back!"
Do they really think this is an outing?
"Yes..."
Under Duanmuhuai's intimidation, An hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded obediently.
No matter what, saving the country is more important than clothes, books and cosmetics.
