Chapter 14

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The five orc brothers did not expect the great general of the Kingdom of Dunmei to appear here. They wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The roar of a giant dragon could be heard from afar. The low-levelled magical beasts on the ground all fled after the roar.

Clifford glanced at the sky and immediately recognized the person who had come to help.

Turner-Sophie was widely known as the Ice Flame General, and she had an adult Frost Dragon! Furthermore, she was a very young general. She was only 25 years old and already had the strength of a high-level Dragon Knight mage!

Clifford could not help but feel envious of the dragon beneath her feet.

Seeing the five of them surrounding Locke, Turner-Sophie immediately commanded her frost dragon to fly higher into the sky. Then, like a giant block of ice, it dived downward from above the clouds. Its descent from the high skies grew faster and faster, so fast that it created a sonic boom.

The moment she was about to hit the enemy, Turner-Sophie immediately entered the third stage of man-dragon unity. Turner-Sophie immediately became one with her frost dragon.

When she was only one meter away from her target, Turner-Sophie raised her dragon claw and dug out one of the giant orc’s heart.

The shockwave sent the remaining four giant orcs and Locke flying. Locke took this opportunity to get out of the way.

The remaining four giants quickly turned into ice under Turner-Sophie’s sharp claws. Under her attacks, all four were smashed into pieces of ice.

Eliza did not care about these things. She immediately separated from Locke and flew out, picking up all the scattered orc cores on the ground and eating them.

After the battle, Turner-Sophie immediately came to Locke’s side and gave him a military salute.

“Turner-Sophie came alone to reinforce us!”

Although Turner-Sophie was a general of the Kingdom of Dunmei, she knew of the important tasks that the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons had to deal with, and she had a lot of respect for its members.

Seeing this, Locke immediately relaxed and sat down.

“Phew! Thank goodness you came in time. Otherwise, we would have been smashed into meat paste!”

After the battle, Clifford walked over from afar.

Upon seeing Clifford, Turner-Sophie bowed very politely to Clifford.

“Master! Long time no see. I’m very happy to see you in the pink of health!”

When he saw Turner-Sophie, he was pleasantly surprised. “Turner-Sophie, you’ve grown into such a beautiful lady!”

Hearing this, she blushed.

This scene stunned Locke. Was this the same person who had fought with the giant orcs earlier? She was fearsome and fierce in the battle from a few moments ago, swiftly annihilating all five giant orcs.

However, Turner-Sophie quickly calmed down and helped Locke up.

“Let’s go! We’ll talk more inside the city.”

Clifford could not help but ask curiously, “I haven’t seen you in a while. Where have you been?”

“I was undergoing special training at the eastern borders of Dunmei. I returned recently due to the death of the high priest. I was sent by the king as soon as I arrived!

“From now on, I will be stationed at Colchislo!

“From today onward, I will not let these disturbances happen again in Colchislo!” As she spoke, she secretly clenched her fists.

The three of them quickly arrived at Colchislo City.

Locke’s mission was not over yet. He needed to help the sole survivor of Team 3 with the funeral of the members of Team 3 who had fallen in the magical beasts’ riot. Many of the members who died in battle had already lost their bones. However, Locke and the others still had to send the items they left behind back to the headquarters.

This showed their final respect for the members who had died.

Although this battle was extremely dangerous, it was extremely beneficial to Locke. He received a system reward of 100,000 experience points and 1,500 Merchant Shop Points.

There were three of them on the way back. As he was the only one left in his team, the sole survivor from Team 3 remained silent throughout the journey.

Seeing this, Clifford immediately handed over his wine pot. He patted the bloke on the shoulder and said, “It’s not your fault, Reed Gerard. After taking up this position, no one knows how long they can live for!”

Reed Gerard took the jug and drained most of the wine. The conversation was a pretty solemn one, and Locke felt that it wasn’t his place to join in. So, he sat by the side quietly and closed his eyes to recover his energy.

After completing the rest of the task, Gerard tendered in his resignation as the captain of Team 3. However, it didn’t take long for Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons to welcome a new leader for Team 3.

On the way home, Clifford couldn’t help but recommend to Locke, “What do you think of Turner-Sophie? Not only is she beautiful, she’s single now! If you’re interested, I can help you guys set up a date. After all, I was her mentor before!”

Hearing this, Locke could not help but think of her voluptuous and alluring body. However, after their previous encounter, Locke realized that her body was too cold! When she’d help him up after the battle, Locke’s arm was frostbitten from her touch.

“Oh, old man! You’re so evil!” As he spoke, Locke stretched out his arm. 

“Did you see that! Just a few seconds of contact, and my hand was frostbitten!

“If I sleep with her, won’t my Reynolds family line be destroyed?”

Clifford burst into laughter upon hearing this.

“So, you’ve already thought this through. Seeing how you’re staring at her, one would’ve thought you wanted to befriend her!”

“That’s enough! Since I have nothing to do for the next few days, I will go to the academy for a few days!”

However, Clifford quickly stopped him. “Why’re you still going to class?! Don’t you realize what’s your status now? You’re still thinking of going to class with other students?!

“Come with me! I’ll give you a good lesson when we get to my house!”

They walked down the street to the west gate and arrived at Clifford’s house.

Clifford’s house looked very normal, but it was slightly bigger than an average person’s house.

His house was not as luxurious as the average noble’s, and the walls were a little plain.

“You’re the king’s chief mage after all. This house is even more dilapidated than my school dormitory!”

Clifford pointed at the pile of books and said, “It’s not like I don’t have money! It’s just that knowledge is my best friend!”

Looking around, one could see that his entire house was filed with piles and piles of books on various kinds of topics and knowledge..
