Chapter 9 Dragon's Breath in the Village

It was about noon, and the village chief and a few people were guarding the entrance of the village, waiting for the arrival of the kingdom soldiers.

The village chief is nearly 60 years old, with a bald, dirty goatee curled to his chest, and two of his front teeth are missing, but from his bright eyes and correct facial features, it can be seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.

The sun had moved directly above the people, spilling his heat to the fullest. Just as the village chief decided to leave, a sound of horse hooves came from a distance.

The king's soldiers are here.

The soldiers got off the horse and came to the village chief. Before the captain could speak, the village chief spoke first.

"Oh, you are here. I thought you didn't care about us anymore. We were scared for so many days. Who knows what else will fall from the sky? He can't even lose gold. Oh, by the way, can you drink water or not. We can't drink wine for you. We don't have enough drinks to ourselves..." The village chief wanted to talk for a while, but the villagers behind him interrupted him.

Villager a: "Uncle, let's talk about the serious business."

Village Chief: "Just business? I'm talking about business. Do you think I can't do it, why don't you come and tell the master, you come and be the village chief? Really, young people won't be calmer? Look at what the master said? Otherwise, why are they the masters a farmer? Oh, when I was young, I also went to big cities, and it was really good there. The people inside look good and speak nicely. If it weren't for the expensive selling of things, I might have become a city man."

The captain quickly interrupted while the village chief was breathing, "We still have a task, so take us to the site of the incident to take a look."

"Well, okay." The village chief looked up at the sun in the sky and walked in front of them with his hands behind his back to lead the way.

Captain: "Can you describe the situation at that time?"

"I didn't see it. I was taking a nap at the time. I remember hearing the sound of glass being smashed, followed by the screams of the Piku family."

"Was the Piku family killed?"

"Smash to death? It would be a lucky thing for them to kill him. When I heard the sound, I happened to see the old Piku running out." The village chief looked disgusting and scared, "The old Piku melted in front of us, and his clothes, flesh, and bones were all left. God knows what it is, and I have someone surrounded his house with a fence. You have to solve this for me. I don't want any messy things to fall from the sky. There are not many people in the village chief, and the world is full of these tricks."

The captain scratched his head awkwardly. The order he received was just to recycle what had fallen. As for solving the problem of falling things in the sky, he was not capable of.

After she arrived in the village, Chatia disappeared quietly. She was too lazy to listen to the village chief's nonsense, so he began to ask other villagers. Because of Chatia's cute appearance and extraordinary conversation, these villagers made her think of her as a mage to solve this problem. The opportunities for villagers to get in touch with foreign information basically come from the songs sung by bards in the town's tavern. Among their only few opportunities to leave the village and go to the town in a year, the best pastime is to go to the tavern to listen to stories, shut up and listen to stories quietly. No one would know that they are the mud legs of the country bumpkin.

It seems that there is always a beautiful female wizard in the story of the minstrel.

Thinking of this, the villagers began to answer Chatia's questions enthusiastically.

Villager b: "I saw a big hole cracked in the sky and a ball of green fell down and fell on the roof of the poor Piku family. Then their house melted, and the only escaped old Piku also melted in front of our eyes."

Villager c "Then a moment later, a big hole was cracked above the sky in the granary. We were all crazy at that time. There were our grain and seeds. Fortunately, this time it was a bunch of books that fell down?"

Villager d: "There are so many books that can be enough to pull a cart. We are all rough and don't recognize what is written on it, and we can't even understand the pictures. So the village chief didn't let us move around, and now we are all in the village chief's house."

Shatia pinched her chin and thought for a while, "Take me to the village chief's house to read those books."

On the other hand, the captain and the soldiers did not notice Chatia's disappearance. It has to be said that the village chief gave Chatia a perfect cover without knowing it. His mouth, which was even more broken than the millet in the granary, was bombing the soldiers continuously in verbal terms.

"Let me tell you, don't look at the poor here, but there are good things. Look at the stone I brought, it looks so beautiful and green." The village chief showed the captain the bracelet on his wrist. A small hole was made in an irregular stone, and it was tied to his wrist with a straw rope. The stone was a turbid dark green, and the patterns were in a whirlpool style.

"This thing is not worth much. It's everywhere near this village. Why don't I give you one to each of you?"

"No, no need." The captain was a little troubled, but fortunately they arrived at their destination.

There are no traces of houses and human life in the fences, and only a pool of black and green viscous liquid with a pungent smell remains.

The captain came near and after buckled the fence, he found that the wooden fence facing the in-test had been corroded into black carbon and became fragile. He asked his subordinates behind him to throw it into the liquid. During the free fall, the tail feathers of the feathers were corroded, and the arrow and shaft were melted the moment they fell into the liquid.

"Missar, please set up another fence on the periphery of this fence. It is also strictly forbidden for anyone to approach this place."

"So what is this? The master in the city." asked a villager.

"Dragon Breath, the Dragon Breath of the Black Dragon."

Through his past adventure experience, the captain inferred that this pool of corrosive liquid is the dragon breath of the black dragon. Only the supernatural power of the dragon, which belongs to the dragon, has such destructive power. Moreover, due to his adventurer's sensitive nerves, he felt a palpitation when approaching here. He understood that it was the dragon power remaining here.

Hearing the word dragon breath, the villagers became quiet. The dragon is a legendary creature to these people, and now the traces of its breathing remain in front of them.

After silence, there is panic.

“Are there dragons near our village?”

"Will the dragon come to eat us?"

"Quiet!", the captain stopped the panicked crowd. "There is no dragon here, even if there is a dragon king, he will protect everyone." In fact, he didn't believe this after saying this. Dragons are not something that people like him can challenge, let alone the bloodthirsty and evil black dragon. Fortunately, the villagers were still frightened by him, and now they are quiet.

"Dragon Breath is a supernatural force of dragons, so we have no choice but to trace this breath, but it will disappear by itself in a few months, so please don't get close to here."

"Can the mage who came with you solve this problem?" a villager asked loudly.

Captain: "What mage?"

"It's the little girl who came with you."

The captain turned around and found that Chartia was indeed missing, "Where is that little girl?"

"She was looking through the fallen books at the village chief's house."

The captain was stunned for a moment and then ordered, "Soldiers are on standby, village chief, please take me to your house, please hurry up."

"Oh, I can't even think about it. Why don't that little girl sit behind you and hold you together? We..."

Before the village chief finished his words, the captain was carved up by the captain, "Please be sure to hurry up."
