Chapter 28 Setting Off! In Search for the Sword of Laszka
Early the next morning, Li Mo set off in his most ordinary human clothes. He didn’t want to stand out too much.
In the room, Melia gave Li Mo a hug and led him to the entrance of the Dragon Palace.
Rancho and Leisha were already waiting at the entrance in human clothes. When they saw Melia, they put their hands over their hearts and bowed respectfully to her.
After putting on a disguise, the two of them looked no different from ordinary humans. Li Mo sighed to himself. A dragon physician was indeed powerful!
The Dragon Palace was surrounded by layers of poisonous fog, but to the members of the Dragon Kingdom, it was harmless. However, to Li Mo, the poisonous fog was fatal.
In the room, Melia had already given him a pill to prevent the poisonous fog from corroding him.
“Go! I’ll wait for you at the Dragon Palace.”
Seeing the anticipation and reluctance in Melia’s eyes, Li Mo nodded, tidied up his robes, and prepared to set off.
At this moment, he understood Melia’s embrace earlier!
As the Dragon Queen, she had to be intimidating. Melia would not easily reveal her feminine side in front of others.
After watching the three of them gradually disappear into the poisonous fog, Melia turned around and walked back.
When she was halfway up the mountain, a sharp voice sounded. “Melia, I didn’t expect you to have fallen to such a state. You actually sent a slave to retrieve the Sword of Laszka.”
Iris slowly walked out from behind a big tree, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and looked at Melia scornfully. Melia frowned. Iris had received the news too quickly!
It seemed that she had many trusted aides in the Dragon Palace. There must be spies around her. She had to take advantage of the time when Li Mo was away to clean things up!
Seeing the cold and unfathomable expression on Melia’s face, Iris was furious.
“Melia, I think it’s better if you don’t waste your time. If you entrust such an important matter to a good-for-nothing, it’s no different from giving up the throne!”
Melia ignored her and continued to walk forward. However, Iris would not let her off so easily. She followed behind her and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
“I think that in three days, the news of this slave’s death will be sent back to the Dragon Palace. By then, even if you go to look for the sword yourself, you’ll have wasted precious time.”
Melia thought that Iris was like a mad dog, jumping out and barking at any opportunity.
After giving Iris a cold look, Melia turned around and continued walking.
Iris resisted the fear of the powerful aura surrounding Melia. As she watched her leave arrogantly, she felt that Melia was barely holding on!
So what if she stayed in the Dragon Palace? It was impossible to rely on that piece of trash, Li Mo, to retrieve the Sword of Laszka. Her move was brilliant!
It was like killing two birds with one stone to have Li Mo dead and Melia to step down from the throne!
Thinking of how Melia would lose everything in a few days, Iris was overjoyed. She walked quickly to the top of the mountain, as if the throne of the Dragon Kingdom was beckoning to her.
She had to find Elder Gawain right away and discuss how to make things difficult for Melia in the next few days, so that she would step down voluntarily!
Due to the loss of the sword, many elders were already on her side, but Elder Al still maintained his neutrality and wanted to wait for the results in seven days.
However, the results were certain. It was simply impossible for a human trash to find the sword. In the next few days, she only needed to gather power and take away Melia’s.
Meanwhile, the three people were shuttling through the poisonous fog outside the Dragon Palace.
Rancho and Leisha walked forward at an extremely fast pace, completely ignoring Li Mo.
In the end, Li Mo could not help but shout, “We have been walking for more than half an hour. Sit down and have a drink to rest!” The two of them stopped at the same time and turned to look at Li Mo, who was already sitting on a big rock to rest. Rancho frowned and said in a slightly impatient tone, “There will be magic beasts roaming around at night. If we delay any longer, we will waste more time here.”
This was not purely to scare him. The Dragon Palace was built near the Boluo Sea, so it was normal for magic beasts to roam around. Moreover, their mission was to retrieve the Sword of Laszka. The more time they took, the lower the chance of finding the sword.
And Li Mo’s dawdling was undoubtedly dragging them down.
Seeing that Li Mo was still leisurely drinking water and sitting on the stone with no intention of moving forward, Leisha’s anger soared. She stepped forward, wanting to persuade this useless slave by force.
But just as she took one step forward, she was pulled back by Rancho.
Rancho said calmly, “Leisha, calm down! After all, he is just an ordinary human. He is not as strong as us.”
After saying that, he sat down on a stone not far from Li Mo and took out a water bag for her.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Leisha glanced at Li Mo who was lying leisurely and frowned.
“Rancho, it’s just a trip to the Weya Kingdom. We don’t even need seven days, but it’s a burden to bring this person with us.” Rancho glanced at the nonchalant Li Mo and said helplessly, “Her Majesty has her reasons for doing this.”
Leisha didn’t understand. She really couldn’t figure out how a person who couldn’t fight or use magic could be of any use. Rancho knew that Leisha was a simple-minded person. If he couldn’t give her a reasonable answer, the rest of the journey wouldn’t be peaceful.
“This person is more familiar with the Weya Kingdom than we are. He is a guide.” Leisha accepted his explanation. In the entire kingdom, she only respected Rancho when it came to strategizing.
However, she looked down on Li Mo. He did not have the ability to protect himself. When they entered a battle, she had to divert her attention to protect him.
After all, Rancho and she were the strongest members with the most potential in this generation of dragons. But they had to protect a human slave. How humiliating!
After many years of knowing each other, Rancho knew what Leisha was thinking, so he comforted her, “Leisha, nothing is more important than the sword now! Completing Her Majesty’s mission is the topmost priority.”
Rancho’s words reminded Leisha. As a Dragon Warrior, the Dragon Queen’s words were orders! Indeed, they could not act on impulse, or else they would embarrass the entire Dragon Kingdom!
Rancho looked at the sky and patted Leisa’s shoulder, indicating that it was time to set off.
She walked closer to Li Mo and said coldly, “Hey! Have you rested enough?”
