In addition to the mine, the fully armed army has surrounded this area. In addition to the professional army, there are several teams that are obviously mercenary groups, and the total number is probably more than 3,000 people.

Surrounded by the knights, a young man in armor, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, was standing on a big stone, looking at the castle on the hillside with a solemn expression.

He had brilliant blonde hair and the iconic green eyes of the Rosen family, and the soldiers around him were respectful to him.

After a while, a dragon roar came from the direction of the castle. In his slightly condensed sight, several embarrassed adventurers fled from the hillside in panic.

They threw away their armor and seemed to be greatly frightened.

The blonde boy frowned and said to the knight beside him:

"Go and see if anyone is injured, and then bring the leader of the Sunshirt Mercenary Corps to meet me."

"Okay, Master Frank."

The knight said respectfully.

After a while, several adventurers were brought over by the soldiers, led by a tall and tall warrior with all their muscles.

He saluted the boy named Frank and said in a deep voice:

"Master Frank, our people are back."

"How is it? Is anyone injured?"

The boy asked.

"No one was injured. Before the opponent attacked, all of us escaped."

The warrior replied.

Frank nodded and asked again:

"What the hell is it in the castle? Is it really a golden dragon?"

Hearing his question, the warrior glanced at another adventurer beside him. The adventurer's face was a little pale, obviously he had just been frightened, and he nodded respectfully and somewhat scaredly said:

"Return... Go back to Master Frank, I... we didn't see clearly..."

"I didn't see clearly..."

Frank frowned slightly.

"Yes...yes, after we stepped into the castle, it seemed like we had entered another world, but everyone saw a different scene... What I saw was a sea of ​​fire, and... there was a terrifying flame demon. I was almost swallowed by the flame demon..."

The adventurer said tremblingly.

"Another world? Different scenarios?"

Frank fell into deep thought.

"Magic? Is it an illusion?"

He thought something.

At this time, a middle-aged nobleman with a fat figure and gorgeous clothes came over.

He looked at the boy and said excitedly:

"Master Frank! Golden Dragon! It's definitely Golden Dragon! I've asked those miners, and many people have seen it with their own eyes!"

"Young Master! We must destroy the golden dragon! I heard that the golden dragon likes to eat precious metals the most! It must have taken a fancy to our gold mine. If we drag it down, our gold will be eaten up!"

Seeing the middle-aged nobleman, a trace of disgust flashed in the boy's eyes, he said calmly:

"His Excellency Paul, if it was really a golden dragon, then it should have no malice against us, otherwise, the adventurer who went there would have died long ago."

"But that's a giant dragon after all! Master Frank! Dragon! Dragon is very greedy, it must have liked our gold! Master Frank, we must find a way to kill it! At least we must drive it away!"

The middle-aged nobles emphasized Tao.

Frank felt a little impatient. He glanced at the middle-aged nobleman and said coldly:

"Baron Paul, we have less than four thousand troops, two-thirds of them are mercenaries, and only one high-level profession. Do you think with our strength, can we fight against an adult golden dragon?"

"Then recruit more adventurers! Spread out the news that there is a golden dragon here! I believe many adventurers will be interested in slaying dragons!"

The middle-aged nobleman said anxiously.

"Where is the commission? Who will pay? I don't have that much money."

The boy shook his head.

As he said that, he pondered for a moment and said again:

"The Golden Dragon advocates justice and rarely conflicts with humans. I think... Maybe there are any misunderstandings in it, and we should find a way to communicate with it."

"Communication? Master Frank, so many people you sent failed. Do you still want to try it? If you drag on it, we will have no gold!"

The middle-aged nobles were furious.

The boy finally became impatient. He glanced at the middle-aged noble in disgust and said:

"Baron Paul, I will deal with this matter. You should take care of your own business. I heard that you owed the free miners' wages and beat them up... I need an explanation for this matter."

"Master Frank, just a group of untouchables, all the gold mines were occupied, so how can I pay them any extra money? Now it is the main thing to deal with the dragon!"

The middle-aged nobleman said dissatisfiedly.

The boy looked at him deeply, and the disgust in his eyes became even more intense. He said coldly:

"Paul, they are your subordinates, and the people of the Rosen family!"

The middle-aged nobleman chuckled and said:

"Master Frank, you are still too young. Leading the people is the wealth of our nobles. Doing things for us is their duty. Now the world is so chaotic that we can give you some food. We are already very kind. I provide them with food every day when mining, and everyone is very grateful to me."

As he said that, he glanced at the castle on the mountain and shook his head and said:

"I advise you to find a way to deal with the Golden Dragon. The Duke attaches great importance to the gold mines and magic stones here. If something goes wrong, even if you are his younger brother, you will definitely be punished."

After hearing the middle-aged noble words, the knights around him cast an angry look at him, and a knight in the personal guard sneered:

"Hisser Baron, our young master is just passing by here. He is worried that the appearance of the dragon will pose a threat to the town and will organize mercenaries. When will it be your turn to shift the responsibility to our young master?"

"Who are you? You dare to talk to me like this? I am the baron of the Rosen family!"

The middle-aged man sneered.

Frank glanced at him and said lightly:

"He is my knight and the heir to the Roland family."

The middle-aged nobleman was slightly suffocated.

The Roland family was a nobleman who was loyal to the Rosen family in the northern corporal district, and was also a distant branch of the Rosen family. Although they have fallen now, they are still an earl after all.

He snorted, his arrogance became much weaker. Finally, he looked at the hillside, then looked at the guards led by the young man, and said sarcastically:

"Master Frank, since the Duke has sent you to patrol the territory, you have to shoulder the responsibility. If you cannot solve the mine, I will report it to the Duke."

"Whatever you want."

Frank glanced at him indifferently.

The middle-aged nobleman was speechless for a while.

He narrowed his eyes, then sneered, and left with several servants he accompanied.

He could still hear his cursing voice:

"Hmph, I'm just a bastard who can't even inherit the title. I really think I'm the young master of the Luosen family... Bah..."

Hearing this, Frank clenched his fists slightly.

"Young Master! He!"

The knights around him were instantly angry.

Someone even drew out the sword directly, but it was quickly stopped by Frank:

"Forget it, it's just a villain, don't worry about him."

"But he actually insulted you! Insulted an imperial nobleman!"

"A noble..."

A trace of self-deprecation flashed across the boy's face.

He shook his head and said:

"He was deliberately irritating me. After all, it was his responsibility for the matter in the mine, but if I was irritated, he would have a reason to shirk responsibility..."

"Young Master, we should not interfere in the mine. If we continue to stay here, we may not be able to wash it off in the end."

The knight said in a deep voice.

After hearing the words of the follower, Frank sighed and said:

"But, I do shoulder the mission of inspecting the territory, let alone..."

He glanced at the castle and continued:

"Even if it's not about the gold mine, a giant dragon entrenched near the city, even the golden dragon may bring danger to the citizens... I can't let it go."
To be continued...
