As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

[Cheese] said unhappily: "You say it nicely, but you two are not completely together yet, right?"

"Yes, there is only one last step."

Roy took the ring out of the Lord of the Rings and looked at it for a while.

The ring with flowing platinum lines was inlaid with the same crimson as her eyes.

Considering the time when he was being hunted by the [Evil Dragon Society], this was the second time in a row that he had failed to get out.

"I'll make it up to you after this is all over."

But before that, we need to solve the problem at hand.

The war in the kingdom and the threat from the dragon clan, if these are not resolved, not only Charlotte, but he himself will not be able to indulge in love with peace of mind.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now. The first thing to do is to rescue my father.

In the next few days, Roy and others continued searching, but with little success, the traces they found were always intermittent.

The dead knights and dragon corpses were scattered all over the ground before him, and the dried blood dyed the green area red.

And this is not the first time they have encountered such a scene.

Facing the endless mountains and forests in the distance, the Lionhearted Prince was a little conflicted: "There is good news and bad news."

Roy nodded: "Let's make it clear first."

"The good news is that your father was here not long ago. The bad news is that his troops have been caught up by the dragons, and it seems they have suffered heavy losses."

Natsu said worriedly, "We can't go on like this. We have to catch up with them before Lord Carl can't hold on any longer."

This is far from being as simple as it sounds.

The flying speed of a griffin is slightly better than that of a flying dragon.

But the dragons have a keener sense of smell and can easily lock onto the scent of blood. This is why Carl's troops escaped many times but were always caught up again.

It is quite difficult to search for targets in mountains and forests with complex terrain and lush vegetation.

Natsu looked at the magicians and clergy behind him and asked, "Do our friends in White Harbor and the Society have any good ideas?"

But the latter two shook their heads one after another, indicating that they were powerless.

Red mages excel at direct combat, while priests excel at healing and exorcism, and neither of them has anything special in terms of finding the enemy.

The search stalled.

Just when Natsu was at a loss, Roy suddenly said, "Let me figure it out."

Chapter 51: The Long-Awaited Lottery

When the magicians heard that Roy was going to come forward, they looked embarrassed.

Griffin Knights are indeed good at aerial reconnaissance, but there is a high possibility that there are dragon ambushes nearby, and flying into the air will also attract the attention of the dragons, otherwise the other Griffin Knights would have taken action long ago.

Moreover, the order they received from the Sage was to protect Roy's safety.

"Lord Roy, things are not that simple."

"If anything happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to the academy."

On the other hand, the clergymen had a peaceful and mysterious look of trust.

"Don't worry, Lord Roy has his own way."

"As a guard serving the Saint, the Holy Light is with him. The Goddess will surely bless him!"

Roy almost couldn't hold back what he heard.

I appreciate your kindness, but if the goddess knew about this, she would definitely curse me, right?!

The Griffin Knights under Natsu adhered to military discipline and did not bicker, but they all cast curious glances, wondering what the young Oath Knight had in mind.

Roy smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I won't take any risks. I just need to make some preparations. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

"Did you hear that? Let our Oath Knight give it a try."

Natsu was also curious, but he knew very well that every extraordinary person had a trump card that was not revealed to others. There was no need to delve into it at the moment, so he took the initiative to lead everyone to retreat.

When there was no one around, Roy began to operate the panel and called out the long-lost interface.

When a superhuman's own abilities are limited, the most reasonable choice is to seek help from superhuman props.

And he just happened to have this channel.

【Reputation Lottery Area】.

Before I knew it, I had accumulated more than 30,000 reputation points. It was not a big deal considering the progress of [Divinity], but it was a huge number if used for the lottery.

One thousand reputation points can be used to draw ten times in a row.

Thirty thousand reputation points are enough for thirty ten-draw combos, and at least three gold-grade extraordinary items will be obtained.

[30000 reputation points consumed in consecutive draws]

Along with the dazzling light, countless blue and purple props, mixed with three golden lights, appeared.

Well, it turns out that I can only afford the guaranteed payment.

Without caring about his African ancestry, Roy quickly confirmed his specific gains.

There is no need to explain the miscellaneous items that we are already familiar with, such as [Holy Water] and [Perfect Bread].

What Roy couldn't wait for the most were the golden props.

Three golden items sound like a lot, but I don’t know if I can get anything useful for the current situation.

Fortunately, he got the winning number.

【Blood-seeking Bat】:

[Introduction]: A familiar widely used by the Blood Elves during the First Age. Using the target's blood, it can track the target's bloodline aura and any bloodline of the target from thousands of miles away. Its cultivation method was lost with the extinction of the Blood Elves.

It has to be of gold grade, so it’s the most useful thing right from the start!

Not only can I pursue my goal, but I can also pursue the same bloodline as my goal. Isn't this exactly what I need?

As they both have the [Iron Blood] bloodline, as long as the [Blood-Seeking Bats] remember their own bloodline aura, they will naturally be able to find Carl's location.

Without further ado, Roy immediately cut his finger and used the blood to activate the [Blood-Seeking Bat].

By the way, two other gold-grade props were also confirmed.

【Rock Potion】：

[Introduction]: A secret elixir crafted by the elves of Middle-earth during the First Age, it transforms the imbiber into earth armor as tough as dragon scales. Originally forged for frontline warriors, it proved too potent and precious to be used as a trump card to protect the heirs of precious bloodlines. While the formula survived, the ingredients necessary for its refining are now extinct.

【Dance of the Sea Breeze】:

[Introduction]: This dust, crafted by South Sea magicians during the Second Era, is derived from coral anemones, cryptic sharks, color-changing sea worms, and other extraordinary creatures adept at concealing their presence. It provides group cloaking power. Widely used by maritime forces during the Second and Third Eras, its effectiveness depends on the user's extraordinary abilities. Higher bloodline levels or better attribute compatibility increase the cloaking effect.

[Rock Potion] is a bit useless for me who already has dragon scales to protect me, but it is very useful for other extraordinary people who lack defense.

Considering that there might be a battle with the Seven Heavenly Dragons next, it would be a good idea to give this thing to Natsu.

[Dance of the Wind Spirit] is of great use.

The cloaking aura that could bring group effects was a rare treasure. With it, not only did he not have to worry about being discovered by the dragons while tracking, but he could also quickly escape after reuniting with Carl.

However, the latter two are consumables. The brown-yellow viscous potion can only be consumed in three or five sips at most, and the emerald green dust is only a handful of fine sand.

To conceal a group of hundreds of people, it would only need to be used once or twice at most.

The current situation is critical, and this is not the time to be stingy with resources.

There are three gold grades in total, two of which are of great use to the current situation. This shows that my luck is not bad.

It’s a pity that we couldn’t draw more [Platinum Rings] from this batch of purple items.

After sorting out the props, Roy found Natsu and showed him the [Blood-Seeking Bat].

The knights led by Natsu actually didn’t quite understand what was going on, but they just felt mysterious and powerful.

However, the magicians were all stunned.

"What an exquisite familiar! Even if the head of the school constructed it himself, it would be no better than this!"

"I understand. This is probably the work of the dean!"

"Lord Roy, please forgive our earlier noise. I didn't expect the dean to have been prepared!"

Okay, okay, mature subordinates should find their own excuses.

I was too lazy to explain, so I just let them think on their own.

The little bat, made entirely of blood, took off into the air. After shaking for a while, it quickly determined a direction and flew forward.

Then Roy asked them to gather together and threw out the green dust.

All those present were experienced transcendents, and they soon sensed that each other's breath was like being gently hidden by the breeze and sinking to the bottom of the deep lake, almost unnoticeable.

“What a wonderful tool…”

The props from the ancient South China Sea were even beyond the magician's cognition, and he completely did not understand the frustration.

The clergy, on the other hand, looked calm and explained as if they were used to it.

"Don't be surprised. It's natural for those blessed by the Holy Light to occasionally perform miracles."

"This must be the blessing from the goddess!"

Roy's mouth twitched, and he could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.

Finally, he handed the jar of brown and yellow sticky potion to Natsu.

"Your Highness, this thing can condense into defensive armor and save your life at a critical moment. Use it and cherish it."

"Haha, a potion of this quality... I won't ask where it came from. Thank you very much."

Feeling the surging extraordinary power in the potion and knowing that the other party was protected by dragon scales, Natsu did not refuse and accepted it with care.

Although the thick brown-yellow appearance is really hard to look at, the most important thing about potions is practicality, and Natsu is not pretentious.

After making all preparations, Roy and his group followed the guidance of the [Blood-Seeking Bat] and headed deep into the jungle.

Chapter 52 The Only Choice

Within Tiexueling.

In a cave deep in the mountains, thousands of knights rested and caught their breath.

The few Griffin Knights were alert to any disturbances around them. Even though they were exhausted from days of fighting, they did not dare to be careless.

The bloodthirsty dragons have a keen sense of smell comparable to that of a hound. If you are not careful, you will be ambushed. Even if you lose your concentration for a moment, the dragons will swoop down and bring a devastating blow.

This is a bloody lesson they have learned many times.

Carl was also not taking it easy.

Unlike those soldiers who took the time to take a nap, even while being bandaged, Carl still stared outside the cave with bloodshot eyes, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

As the lord and head of the family, he was also the only Sequence 5 present. He was the only transcendent who could stop a pure-blooded dragon, and the reason why the soldiers could still breathe at this moment.

When the dragon attacked, it was Carl who stepped forward, summoned the army to counterattack at the first moment, and led the army to break through at the first moment, which prevented them from being wiped out by the dragon.

It was precisely because of the presence of the [Iron-Blooded] Marquis, who had personally participated in the dragon-slaying battle, leading the army in the front that, even though they were forced into the mountains by the dragons and were starving and helpless, neither the griffin knights nor the most ordinary soldiers gave up at this moment.

However, as a close confidant who has followed Carl for many years, Anya has already seen Carl's fatigue.

"Master Karl, please take a rest."

She tightly bandaged him and watched the blood slowly seep out. Anya couldn't help but frown: "If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on."

To be honest, the situation is worse now than it was nineteen years ago.

Even at that time, Carl had never fought hard for several days like he did now.

Even a body made of steel has its limits, and Carl has been on the edge of his limit several times.

If it were any other Sequence 5 in the kingdom, they would probably have died of exhaustion.

Karl glanced at the soldiers behind him and said calmly: "We have to hold on even if we can't. We have no other choice."

Anya moved her mouth but couldn't say anything.
