Chapter 909 -55: Who is the Mastermind Behind the Scenes?_2
Yet they proposed to exchange their treasure for their lives.
They not only possessed a large amount of gold but were also adept at the family’s ancestral Transformation Technique, which was especially suitable for mining and treasure hunting. They came to the Northern Realm this time because they sensed the aura of a gold vein, aiming to strike it rich once again.
Their greed for gold seemed never to be satisfied.
But they were willing to exchange half of their treasure for their lives and continue to search for veins and mine gold for the Durin Clan.
In the end, the Chief Judge couldn’t resist the temptation and agreed to the condition.
Thus, the great gold rush of the Northern Realm began.
And this never-ending greed, as well as the complicity with evil, ultimately led to terrible consequences:
——[Dragon Disaster] and [Dragon Disease].
If I’m not mistaken, the three Giant Dragons inside Lonely Mountain should be Fafnir, Regin, and… that Chief Judge?
Luo En flipped to the end of the manuscript and found that there was no mention of the identity and name of that Chief Judge.
What’s more perplexing is that according to the original track of fate, the one who killed the son of the dwarf Herudama and found the [Rhein Gold] should be [Loki].
But Luo En was well aware that he had never met Herudama’s family at all, let alone had any opportunity to commit the deed.
So, who is the murderer who killed the son of the dwarf Herudama?
Luo En utilized the Guild’s privileges to comb through the related case files but only found a brief description of the murderer in a corner:
——An old man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, accompanied by a long-legged crane.

An old man… a crane…
Luo En’s gaze flickered, he gently closed the book, and walked out of the library.
“How about it? Did you find out anything?”
Belldandy chased out of the library and asked anxiously.
“No, there are no clues here that I’m looking for.”
Luo En shook his head in denial, and then raised his hand to shield the somewhat dazzling sunlight, casually saying to Belldandy:
“Let’s go back first, we’re setting off tomorrow morning, and there are some things that need to be prepared in advance.”
“Okay!”
Belldandy let out a relieved sigh, her face could not help but brim with joy.
To conceal her happiness, she quickly brought the carriage over and drove Luo En towards the Guild’s residence.
The carriage moved steadily as usual, Luo En sat inside, massaging his swollen brow, silently sighing to himself.
I hope it’s not what I’m thinking…
Meanwhile, neither of them noticed that the gold flame ring on Belldandy’s brow had completed its final stroke.

On the last day before the battle, Luo En chose not to go out to investigate more clues, but patiently taught Xili.
The overall level of performance of a team sometimes depends not on strengths, but on its weakest link.
As the youngest of the Midgard six-member group, Xili was undoubtedly that weak link.
Should she be embroiled in a fierce battle, she would inevitably be a drag on her teammates.
Therefore, in order to make this young girl serve some purpose in a critical moment, she needed a crash course.
Fortunately, after seeing the deities and hero units that roam the venue, Xili also realized her own inadequacy and almost couldn’t wait to learn combat skills from Luo En, a good teacher.
Due to the urgency of time, there was no chance to lay a solid foundation for Xili slowly, so Luo En could only capitalize on her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, creating a unique [Magic] to complement her swordsmanship, producing unexpected results.
Xili also studied very seriously and with her extraordinary talent, she quickly grasped the essence of this [Magic].
On the third day, at dawn, the sky was clear for thousands of miles.
Accompanying the loud, resounding horn, the ground shook violently, and mounds of earth a hundred meters high rose to the sky, scattering gravel that sealed all passages leading to the outer world from Lonely Mountain.
“Roar…!!”
At the same time, angry and ferocious roars came from the sky, people climbed onto the city walls, looked up, and saw dots of black, green, brown, red, and other colors rapidly approaching Turin City.
As those unidentified flying creatures beat their wings, closing the distance quickly, their signature lizard-like physique, serpentine pupils, fierce bat-like wings, and tough horns and scales, made the Dwarf Warriors on the walls of Turin City tense up:
Here they come, Two-legged Flying Dragons!
And so many of them!
Seeing hundreds, thousands of Two-legged Flying Dragons swooping in, almost completely blocking the light from the sky, the dwarves’ bodies uncontrollably began to tremble.
“Owow~~!”
At this moment, a low and solemn wolf howl echoed over Turin City, the fragrance of fruit wine and the freshness of wheat carefree delighting the senses, instantly dissipating the Dragonkin’s draconic majesty.
The battle-hardened Dwarf Soldiers on the city wall quickly reacted, immediately closing the heavy city gates after guiding the demolition team members back inside, turning the winches with all their might.
Elf Mages were chanting elaborate runes, setting up defenses for the whole city to withstand the impact from the Two-legged Flying Dragons.
At the same time, the dwarves pushed forward their carefully crafted Bed Crossbows and Mechanical Crossbows, as well as Magic Cannons, activating them at the lookout posts, and powerful black arrows and potent Magic Beams swiftly brought down large numbers of Two-legged Flying Dragons.
The elves were not to be outdone either, squads of Elf Mages chanted Curses, while rows of Elf Archers fired Secret Arrows, just as cleanly clearing an area.
But even though both sides had impressive results in the first battle, such damage was a mere drop in the bucket to the vast horde of dragons.
