The school gave Caesar the green light. After all, Lao Jiao knew what was going on, and a man like Caesar could not be bound by conventions. Although some combat skills were important, Caesar would definitely learn more from the dragon-slaying incident in the human world. The experience gained would be crucial in battle. As for life and death, that was not something that could be decided by human power.
This time, slaying the dragon is not a simple matter. Instead, the dragon must be enraged to make it burst out with all its strength. It must be killed when it is still at the peak of its strength. Only at this time will the vitality of the dragon crystal condensed be strong enough, and the greater the confidence of Elena. Elena is now in a state of suspended animation. The dragon plague attached to her body has not disappeared, but her absorption capacity is decreasing little by little, as if they have all entered hibernation collectively. However, no one can guarantee how long this situation can last, and everything must be left to fate. To be honest, Caesar is not very sure about slaughtering the dragon, and others are not optimistic at all. If dragons were so easy to kill, they would have disappeared from the Mayan continent long ago. The huge wealth and treasures all over the body are enough to tempt countless adventurers, but the powerful power of the dragon clan forces them to suppress their greed. It is conceivable how terrible the power that can suppress human greed is.
Caesar had no choice but to try even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance. Besides, there was nothing impossible in his dictionary.
Although Aries wanted to help, he had no choice. The best way to slay the dragon was to send an army, but it was a fantasy for a sea army to appear in the human world. The Mermaid Sea was still facing the threat of the undead and could not send out any experts. Roye had returned and reported Elena's situation to the Dragon King. As for the dragon slaying, they did not believe it, but Elena had to stay in the Mermaid Sea for the time being. The dragon plague was contagious to the dragon clan, so Roye did not dare to get close.
In the shallow sea of the Mermaid Sea, a figure emerged from the bottom of the sea. After taking a look at the surrounding situation, he chose a deserted beach to land so as not to attract human attention.
Caesar took out the ball and let it come out for some fresh air. He also felt a special affinity with the ball and was also very accustomed to the mainland. He had been worried that the mermaid would not be able to adapt to leaving the sea, but this little guy was very active.
Looking at the unfamiliar human world, Caesar prepared himself to face it. After entering the human territory, everything became unreasonable and he had to be extra careful. Once his identity as a sea creature was exposed, the situation would be serious. Fortunately, he looked almost the same as a human, and adventurers and mercenaries were even more prevalent in the human world, and there were many people dressed strangely. This gave Caesar an opportunity.
Just when he was about to take action, he found someone following him, looking sharply into the sea. Could it be a ghost?
"Come out!"
The waves hit the rocks and created a beautiful splash. Clara emerged from the water with a smile, "Brother, I want to go to the human world to play too."
"Nonsense, don't you know that the human world is offering a reward for your capture? Don't cause trouble. Princess, you'd better go back, otherwise His Majesty Aries will definitely fight me to the death."
"No, they want to accompany you. How can they let you go alone? I heard that dragons are very scary. No matter what, I have to save Nana!"
"No, we won't be able to reach the Tolas Mountains if we continue like this, and we will be locked in a cage by humans."
"It's okay. We mermaids are the closest race to humans. We just need to tie our hair up. At most, we can wear a veil. If you don't let me go with you, I will go secretly by myself. If anything goes wrong along the way, it will be your responsibility!"
Clara was clearly cheating, and Caesar knew that this fearless mermaid princess could really do it. He was worried about Clara being alone in the human world; it was too dangerous.
After weighing for a long time, Caesar had no choice but to agree, but he made three rules. The first one was that she had to be obedient. The second one was that she still had to be obedient. The third one was that she had to be obedient, otherwise there was no deal. Naturally, Clara agreed very readily.
After disguising themselves and changing into clean clothes, Caesar took Clara to the top of the cliff. Clara was still far from being able to control the air, and being far away from the sea, the power of her water magic would be greatly reduced.
Caesar and Clara stood on the top of the cliff and looked out. Not far away was a human village. According to the map, this village was their first stop, called Morgan. Through this village, they could reach a small human city, Simbak. It was said that the political status and current situation of this city were quite unique.
"Come on, let's see what humans look like."
Caesar took Clara and rushed towards the village like a whirlwind. The human in their impression was the dragon knight Stylaia, who was powerful and terrifying. But soon they saw real humans. Clara and Caesar were a little unbelievable. There were people coming and going in the bustling market in front of them. It was obviously a seafood market where humans were making exchanges. But it seemed that most of these humans were very weak, much weaker than the sea people. The most interesting thing was that most of the humans had the same shape.
The two of them were inevitably going to enter the human world. It was better to do it now than at an important moment in the future. After hesitating for a moment, the two of them walked towards the crowd. Compared to Caesar's caution, Clara was still a little naughty and curious. She looked around and found almost everything new and interesting. In fact, even the "people" around her were very interesting.
The specialness of the two people still caught the attention of some people. A short, thin kid with mischievous eyes had been staring at the two outsiders for a long time, and the income of the past few days fell on these two outsiders.
"Two respected adventurers, are you here for the dragon?"
Caesar and Clara were blocked by a child, but the child's words shocked them. They had just been out to sea for a short time, and only a very few people knew about this... How could a human child know that!
Could it be the undead? A hint of murderous intent flashed in Caesar's eyes. Although it would be troublesome, he was still confident that he could kill all the humans here.
Although Tru is not very old, he has been in the world for many years and has been reading people's expressions since he was a child. Naturally, he knows what that means. The two adventurers in front of him, one dressed mysteriously and the other with extraordinary bearing, and they are both young. It is obvious that they are the sons and daughters of some princes and nobles who are out and about. They are in love and want to be dragon slayers without knowing the consequences. Is it so easy to marry a princess?
His life is very simple. He is a tour guide and a swindler, and he also does some small theft occasionally. It's enough for him to make a living. It's even better if he can catch a rich man occasionally. Unfortunately, there are no big shots in their small place, and there are not many rich people. Recently, a dragon flew from somewhere and occupied a hilltop. It was nothing at all, as there happened to be an important trade route at the foot of the hill. At the same time, the wealth and fame brought by the dragon attracted countless adventurers. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune, get married and have children.
Tru's hometown is Morgan Village, but he is now a lonely man. This time he came back to move his nest to Simbak. Unexpectedly, he accidentally found two fat sheep. Simbak is a lively and chaotic place due to its special interest, and it is even more lively during this period. It is said that the princess of the Kingdom of Cagliari is interested in the dragon. The warrior who can kill the dragon will have the opportunity to have dinner with her. The beauty of the princess is also famous on the mainland. This is a good opportunity to get the favor of the princess, at least he can get an official position.
The Kingdom of Cagliari has not been peaceful in recent years. The dispute between the heirs has only recently ended. The new king has no sons, but two daughters. The eldest daughter is keen on power and maneuvers between various forces. She is likely to become the first queen of the Mayan continent, while the youngest daughter is more lively... or it is more appropriate to describe her as willful. She is keen on wielding guns and sticks, and especially worships the strong. If she hadn't thought that the martial arts competition to win a marriage was too complicated and was forbidden by the king, who knows what trouble the little princess would have caused.
But no matter what, Cagliari is a powerful country on the Mayan continent, especially in recent years, it has developed extremely rapidly, and its relationship with the sea people is also quite good. As for the city of Simbach, although it is on the territory of Cagliari, it belongs to the Ottoman Empire. It was ceded back then. Sandwiched between the two major countries are several small principalities. Of course, these countries are well aware of their situation and are typical fence-sitters.
"Ahem, please don't misunderstand me. I have no hostility. Tru is the local tour guide. Judging from your attire, you must be adventurers with outstanding martial arts skills. However, there are so many adventurers coming for the dragon that Simbak City is already overcrowded. It is difficult for outsiders to find accommodation. Why don't you ask me to be your tour guide? I can handle all the troublesome matters."
Caesar and Clara looked at each other, ... there is such a profession among humans. In fact, they are not much older than Trooper. Mermaids maintain their youthful beauty for a long time in their lives, while Caesar has been through the trials of life and death and looks more mature. Moreover, the temperament of a master is not to be underestimated.
"Well, ahem, we just arrived here too, so we're not familiar with this place... Please help us get a... better carriage. We're going to Simbak."
Hearing Caesar's agreement, Tru immediately smiled brightly, "Don't worry about me, I'll prepare it for you right away!"
Then Caesar threw a gold coin to him, and Tru immediately got on his butt to prepare for it. Caesar had heard a lot from the old man about humans, living habits including court etiquette since he was a child. However, prices change very quickly. When Tru got the gold coin, he knew that he had met a wealthy sucker.
"From the sound of his voice, it seems that there is a lone dragon nearby. It would be great if we can successfully get the dragon crystal!" Caesar was full of interest and in a very good mood. He didn't expect to receive such good news as soon as he landed.
"That would be best, but we still have to be careful among so many humans." Clara always felt as if everyone around her was sizing her up.
"Now you know the trouble is coming. I told you not to follow me."
"No, no, as the future mermaid queen, I need to get to know my greatest enemy!"
Enemies? Caesar didn't understand why the sea creatures couldn't coexist peacefully. The root cause of the dispute was survival resources, but in fact humans and sea creatures didn't conflict. Could it be that only desires or racial differences could generate hatred?
Looking at the greedy demon mentioned by the sea people, Caesar didn't think it was the case.
At this time, Tru came driving a large carriage. It was the best carriage that could be found here, but it still looked very simple. Fortunately, Caesar and Clara didn't care. In fact, they had no idea about human carriages. They just thought it was very novel.
Tru was relieved to see that Caesar and Clara did not show any unhappy expressions. It seemed that the two were still easy to talk to, God blessed them.
Caesar did a standard aristocratic understanding, bowed and said: "Dear Princess Clara, please get in the carriage."
Clara smiled brightly under the veil, and it was obvious that Caesar, who had learned the news about the dragon, was in a very good mood. He even joked and pretended to be a princess. Speaking of acting like a princess, Clara was the best. The two of them got into the carriage with smiles on their faces, and Tru smiled knowingly. It turned out that they were a couple. As for the title of princess, it was also regarded as flirting...but it seemed that he had heard this name somewhere before.
The carriage went all the way into the city of Simbach. Cities like this that were ceded were in an awkward situation, but Simbach was lucky because the terrain was not very dangerous and both sides were unwilling to spend a lot of effort on defense. For Cagliari, this city was nominally Ottoman, and for the Ottoman Empire, placing heavy troops in this city was simply throwing meat into their mouths, so there were all kinds of people here, and the city defenders also used the biggest purpose of business. As long as they paid taxes, anyone could come, so some criminals also lurked here. Here everything could be solved with money and life.
