Two o'clock in the middle of the night is the darkest time of the night.

Night completely enveloped E. Palenque. When the orcs were stationed outside the city, the soldiers strictly performed patrol tasks.

A black shadow passed over the barrier of the mage tower above.

"Did something pass by above?" a soldier said.

He raised his head and used the search props in his hands to shoot towards the sky, as if he was looking for something.

The other soldier yawned, with a sleepy look on his cheeks, obviously not believing this statement.

"Have you not slept all day? Are your eyes blurry?"

After searching to no avail, the soldier believed this statement.

"...I don't know when it will end. Those damn orcs...look like wild beasts, and they dare to invade E. Palenque."

"Let me tell you, the orc girl is pretty good."

"Pig orcs are indeed a good fit for you."

"Hey... let's not talk about this. I don't know why the mage from the Mage Association didn't take the initiative to attack?"

"Who knows... In short, just obey the order. Just patrol one more time and you can change your shift."

"Too..."

The conversation between the two soldiers was halfway through.

The sudden loud noise completely knocked away their sleepiness.

The barrier formed by the mage tower cracked under the loud noise. Under the cover of night, one could vaguely see something black attacking above the barrier.

Nonali, who had just entered the meditative state, had to break away from it. With a somewhat tired body, he used wind magic and galloped towards the place where the sound came from.

There were soldiers nearby and arrived here in advance. They lit the magic lamp props and illuminated the sky above.

Nonali also saw that the culprit who attacked the barrier was not the orc he imagined, but a dragon.

His body, intuitively, is huge. He is more than seven meters tall, and if you include the dragon's tail, the length may be more than ten meters. The overall skin is dark black, with wisps of pale white lines and ravines in between.

It destroyed his identity as a "black dragon", but it also gave him a sense of mystery. There was a hint of darkness on his body. Even under the bright magic lamp shining like sunlight, the darkness on his body could not be concealed. On the contrary,

That mist-like darkness will swallow up the light.

Nonali, a fifth-level mage, had the idea of ​​​​escape the moment she saw him.

The scary dragon...

"..Human?" Black Dragon was the first to say before Nonali spoke.

Being able to speak... speak human language means that the black dragon has had contact with humans.

This was much better than those dragons that attacked directly. At least they were able to negotiate. Nonali was slightly relieved.

But he immediately became nervous again, because Heilong further said: "Let me in."

"..What are you doing in the city of E. Palenque?"

"I hate nonsense, your barrier can't stop me, it just takes some effort..."

The attack power that can cause cracks in the barrier with one blow is definitely not something that a mage tower without the protection of a saint mage can protect. He is right.

Cold sweat broke out on Nonali's forehead. If possible, dealing with such an enemy was definitely not what he wanted to do. President Hadiva, before disbanding the Mage Association, once invited him... to the new world of magic.

But because of the kindness of Grand Duke Tyler Tobias, Nonali rejected Hadiva's invitation and prepared to continue guarding... E. Palenque.

But now, things have completely exceeded the scope of his protection.

"Can you tell me...why you entered El Palenque?"

"An agreement." Black Dragon thought for a while and said to Nonali: "My name is Dacob. Pass my name to your Duke's daughter Elena... and she will understand."

It turns out that this black dragon named Dakobu was attracted by Miss Elena.

The black dragons in the records have chaotic private lives in that regard. Many sub-dragons were born in this way. Even the race of dragon people is due to humans giving birth to dragon children, and among them... black dragon people are the most numerous.

Could it be that Miss Elena's beauty attracted this black dragon?

Many soldiers kept thinking about the possibility, and Nonali ordered the soldiers to inform Miss Elena.

"..Can you wait quietly outside until Miss Elena arrives?"

This answer obviously dissatisfied Dacob, and the black breath that spurted out became even more turbid.

Nonali hurriedly grasped the staff and even began to silently chant magic spells in his mouth. But when the dangerous black aura was about to spread to the barrier, Dacob suddenly put away his aura.

It flaps its wings slowly at a constant frequency and waits in the sky.

The soldiers responsible for delivering the news came to Miss Elena's palace.

It should be said that it is a strange palace. Except for the soldiers guarding the gate on the outside, there is not even a single servant arranged inside, and there is not even anyone to lead the way. Fortunately, the palace is not big, and the soldiers just ran around for a while and found the gate.

, and then knocked on the door.

Today is Elena's lucky day, because Joel polished the gems quietly and did not cause any trouble for her, but it is also her unlucky day. The sound just now woke up the sleeping Igna. That violent temper,

He couldn't hold it down any longer. He rushed to the door angrily and wanted to teach the ignorant guy a lesson.

Elena hurriedly stopped him. The person who knocked on the door did not knock at the prescribed frequency, indicating that he was not someone they knew.

"Shhhhhhh..." She signaled Igna to whisper, and pointed her finger in the direction of Joel, "He needs to be quiet."

"For Joel's sake, if the person who knocks on the door can't find a good reason... I will definitely teach him a lesson." Igna slowly backed away.

Elena moved the screen and opened the door.

"Miss Elena." The soldier hurriedly lowered his head and said in a respectful voice: "There is a dragon named Dakobu who is looking for you. He said that if he conveys this news to you, you will understand."

"Wait a moment..."

Elena closed the door, leaving the confused soldiers behind, and then hurriedly ran to Joel's side.

"Dakob is here."

"Did you call me here?"

Joel looked confused, and after a while... he scratched his head and remembered.

He first searched for tasks.

Side mission: The first student (completed)

You have your first student, but his talent makes you feel embarrassed. In order to alleviate this embarrassment, you should teach him simple chanting magic.

Requirement: Let students learn the most basic poor singing skills

Reward: You can claim it when Dakob appears near the player

"After so many days, he finally learned the most basic poor singing, which really makes Long sigh." Joel looked sad.

The original way of learning a magic trick is obviously not recognized.

So Joel taught Dakoob very carefully. He didn't know whether he was not suitable to be a teacher, or... Dakobu was so stupid that for the silver dragon, he only needed to look at it to master it.

The knowledge, here in Dakobu... has been delayed until now.

"In other words... he was called here by you?"

"Well, I told him to come to me when he learns." Joel admitted generously.

At this moment, Igna walked towards the door.

"You're not going to run out and beat that guy up, are you? He's just delivering the news, and don't you think... Dacob's skin would be more comfortable to beat?" Elena was quick to think.

"I think so too, at least he can withstand beatings much better." Igner agreed, "Okay, I'll leave this beating to Dacob."
