Chapter 974: The Return of the Missing Person (1)
James is an ordinary resident of Heer Northon.
It is said that his ancestors settled in this seaside city during the Great Migration era. James also grew up listening to the sound of the tides by the sea.
Unfortunately, he did not achieve his childhood dream and became a brave sea warrior, even if he had a long nose, and had some talent and experience in using gunpowder weapons made by dwarves.
The crew member who was not selected for the United Empire Fleet of Horngorat was lost for a long time on the road of life. Only after he inherited the family business of his father and became the owner of the Bellflower Tavern with peace of mind.
Half a week ago, our store manager James was thinking about every day whether it was cheaper to purchase goods from outside the city, and how to make the daughter of the rich man from the Mayfield family in the city for a meal. But the life experience is so magical that no one would have thought that a group of undead dragons would suddenly attack four days ago.
Four days ago
After finding out his former equipment from the backstage of the tavern, James carried the Yaojing musket from the Dwarf on his back, took a belt full of special alchemy ammunition, and walked out of the tavern.
The streets outside were already in chaos. Even though the guards on the city wall were still trying to reorganize the formation under the supervision of the team, after discovering that the enemy was a dragon, the residents of Heer Northon could no longer calm down.
In addition, some rascals and robbers took advantage of this time to rob and injure people, which made the already chaotic situation even more dangerous.
After all, James was also a person who had participated in the selection of the Horngolat United Empire fleet. Although he was not as good as the elite in the fleet. However, in terms of strength alone, he was not worse than the mercenaries and adventurers on the streets... and even better under certain conditions.
For example, at this time.
The attacks of ordinary mercenaries and magic swordsmen cannot hit the corpse dragons flying in the sky. But James' musket can.
He smashed several illegal people who tried to rob the bellflower tavern with a butt stock. James was so handsome that he swung the Yaojing musket with a swaying crystal musket. The Yaojing musket on the musket was automatically loaded due to centrifugal force, and squeezed the special alchemy bullet into the chamber.
Then he raised the Yaojing musket with one hand and pulled the trigger hard.
In an instant, gunfire that could almost overwhelm the noise of the entire street sounded, and even knocked a few residents who were too close to the ground...
In contrast, the wings of a corpse dragon in the sky were pierced through... No, it was more like being broken down than being pierced through, leaving only a thin layer of flesh and bones connected to the back.
The flying ability of the dragon is different from that of birds. In fact, the dragon wings, which are too short and thin compared to the dragon's body, cannot truly support the dragon's flight. The reason why these giants can soar in the sky is more because of the "anti-gravity" spell abilities that the flying dragon species are born with.
Although these undead dragons have lost most of their abilities during their lifetime, it seems that this anti-gravity characteristic is still there, so they can still fly in the sky. Although it is much slower than before they were alive.
But although wings are not the main factor in their ability to fly, they are also an important organ used to control the direction of flight and even takeoff and land. It is okay to break a few holes in the membrane of the dragon wing, but if the whole thing is broken, then the outcome of the flying dragon species can be imagined.
"Dragon. Dragon fell down!"
The residents of the street that finally calmed down because of James' gunfire that was comparable to the sound of gunfire, immediately started to shout in panic again.
The dragon whose wings were broken by James were like a faulty fighter plane diving towards this place.
"Yeah, it's not the same as expected..."
James was also a little stunned.
Although he did plan to shoot down one or two giant dragons, he didn't expect that the other party would rush towards him with the momentum of dying together. The power of this desperate attack was so great that it even directly penetrated the magic barrier above Heer Northon (at this time, Holna had not yet used her soul tools to open the barrier)!
If he was the only one on the street, although his physical fitness had declined a lot because of the boss's physical fitness, he was still confident that he would escape before the other party fell.
The problem is that there are still many people on this street, and his tavern is behind him.
"Damn it, what are you going to do to my tavern!"
He soon came to his senses and began to continue shooting at the falling corpse dragon, trying to change the other party's fall location.
Unfortunately, although the Yaojing musket is very powerful with the cooperation of alchemy bullets, it is still too difficult to fight with a giant dragon.
If this continues, the bellflower tavern will never be spared, and the entire street will be destroyed by the corpse dragon.
What's more, the undead is also called the Undead. From this name, you can tell how strong the vitality of these things is. Generally speaking, if you dive from such a high place, even a dragon will die because of a broken neck. However, for the undead, there is almost no difference between a broken neck and a broken nail...
If the corpse dragon is not dead, not to mention this street, the entire area will be in danger.
"Damn it!"
The barrel of the musket is so hot that it cannot be used. It is estimated that the alchemy bullet filled with unstable red crystal powder will explode as soon as it is filled in.
James could only grit his teeth and looked at the corpse dragon that was still falling here, cursed in a low voice, looked back reluctantly at the bellflower tavern that had contributed half of his life, and planned to run away with the others.
However, it was the look he looked back that made him see something incredible.
A blond girl who had eaten in his tavern before seemed to have not seen the giant dragon smashing down like a meteorite in the sky. Instead, she walked out of the tavern, looked around the chaotic street, and smiled gently when she saw herself.
"Ah, I finally found the boss." The blonde girl took out her small wallet and took out a few silver coins from it: "I haven't paid for the grilled fish I just ate..."
"Now isn't the time to talk about this?"
Although the situation was so urgent that it was already burning, James still couldn't help but complain...
"Yes, yes, teacher, it's not the time to pay!" Another girl following the blonde girl also looked up at the corpse dragon and said awkwardly: "And after paying the money, we won't have the money to have supper..."
The point is not whether this is good or not...
James suddenly felt a little powerless when facing these little girls who were confused about the situation.
