Karl sneered and answered, “Even I

Karl sneered and answered, “Even I and Captain Frost have been injured and you still think our losses weren’t heavy? We only had 1000 Dragon City soldiers and 178 of them perished in that battle. This time, we truly enraged the Dark Dwarf King and when the Dark Dwarves decide to attack again, their number would be in the hundreds of thousands instead of tens of thousands. At that time, Dragon City might become not more than a ruin!”

“That will absolutely not happen!” I clenched my fists and continued, “If Dragon City become history, then our school will be finished as well …”

Karl responded, “Boy, your powers sure have grown. However, it’s still not enough to defend Dragon City. Do you know that deep within the Tomb of Dragon City lies a secret, a secret from the ancient times? It’s an incredible mission but I still cannot give it to you yet…”

I was stunned, “Teacher, why?”

“Because…” Karl sighed, “I do not know if you are strong enough to accomplish it. Also, I, Karl, am a detached person. I have never received any disciples other than you. Among the youths I saw, you are the one with the most potential. I don’t want to see you die.”

I tightened my fist even further, “Teacher, how can I prove that I am capable of completing the ancient duty?”

Karl pondered for a while and finally answered, “Well then, to prove that you now possess the strength, you must first kill a dragon….”

My whole body trembled, “Kill …kill a dragon?”

“Yes… ” Karl said, “The Tomb of Dragon City is no longer at peace. Recently, a number of Evil Necromancers tried to resurrect the skeletal dragons. Although I was able to repel them, they were able to revive an Earth Dragon’s corpse. Among the dragon family, the Earth Dragon is the weakest. Its body is just slightly larger than that of a large beast and its power slightly stronger. You must kill that summoned undead Earth Dragon. Only then will you have proven your strength. Are you willing to accept this trial?”

I frantically nodded, “Yes, I am!”

“Good!”

Karl smiled, “The resurrected Earth Dragon is an ominous beast. It’s held captive within the Dragon City. Find Captain Frost and show her my letter, she will then guide you to where that dragon is. Remember, you must single-handedly slay that Earth Dragon. Otherwise, it will prove that you still do not have the ability to challenge the mystical secrets hidden within the depths of Dragon City!”

I nodded, “Yes, I understand. Please wait for my good news teacher!”

……

Leaving the Tomb of Dragon City, I continued climbing through the freezing cold of the snowy mountain. At the peak, everything seemed to be covered in snow and ice. In addition, broken and rusted weapons were scattered all over the place. Obviously, the areas surrounding Dragon City were the battlegrounds of countless wars fought in the past. Weapons without a trace of magic were starting to crumble to pieces; perhaps this place was a battlefield in ancient times.

Arriving at Dragon City on foot, I called out, “Brothers above, please hang a rope down and let me climb up there!”

An NPC guard c**ked his head to look at me. After discovering that there was a Dragon City emblem on my shoulder, he immediately let a rope fall. I grasped it, quickly ascended and agilely landed on the top of the wall. I faced the guard with a smile and said, “Brother, I have something to ask. Do you know where Captain Frost is?”

The guard was startled, then said, “Captain Frost is not on duty today. She is probably in her room?”

“I see… So where is Captain Frost’s room?”

“This…” the guard looked at me. He hesitated for a while, and then said, “In the weapon district of the city, at the guard’s hall of the second floor, her room should be the one closest to the glass sword… However, Frost is a woman after all. So…so in normal situations we wouldn’t want to disturb her. You are a newcomer but you should probably still understand this.”

I nodded, “Yeah, I know. I won’t be rude.”

“Good.”

……

In Dragon City’s weapon district, black smoke rose from furnaces as the booming noise of metals being hammered unceasingly rang.

The guard’s hall was where most of the elite soldiers were stationed; this was also the place where the King of Dragon City took his residence, except he had the entire main hall to himself. Climbing the ice-cold stone steps, I headed towards the second floor where a dazzling glass sword was suspended on a stand at the end of a hallway. Above it was a certain seal; it probably was a mighty weapon from ancient times but had its power sealed. Right next to the glass sword was a slightly luxurious room with a red door.

I approached the door, “Thump, thump” and knocked.

“Who is it?” Frost voice resounded.

I said in a low voice, “It’s me. The Tomb Guardian of Dragon City.”

“Oh, come in.”

“Yes!”

Pushing the door to enter, I witnessed an impressive pure white back. Frost was sitting on the bed, with her back to the door, while cleansing a long scar from an axe on her shoulder with cotton. If Captain Frost wasn’t so skilled, I’m afraid she would have been cleaved in two.

With her back to me, Frost chuckled, “Boy, what business do you have with me?”

I presented Karl’s letter and said, “My teacher, in order to train me, told me to kill the imprisoned Undead Earth Dragon. Only Captain Frost can take me there so I came to look for you.”

“What? You want to kill the Earth Dragon?”

Astonished, a half-covered Frost turned around. In front of me were half covered….

“Ah…..”

Frost, noticing her appearance, turned red and glared at me, “What? Why are you still not turning your back and closing the door? Haven’t you seen enough yet?“
