~Royal capital, in the suburbs ~

After crossing the Border Mountain, Wuchou was still wondering if there was any problem. When he came here just now, he had not encountered any creatures or encountered any of them.

Wuchou was still worried just now whether he and the princess would encounter many obstacles. It seems that he was overly worried.

Until Wuchou really came to the suburbs.

"What's this?"

Originally, the suburbs of the royal capital should be an endless pastoral area, with several manors standing around, forming a beautiful landscape.

Today, Wuchou only saw that most of the countryside that had completely died, the manor had been destroyed, and there were not many people.

"What's going on? Why did the outside of the capital become like this? Is there any more exaggerated changes inside?"

Wuchou took the princess carefully to get close to the capital, but he encountered danger halfway through the way.

"This is!"

A whirlwind hit the two of them. Wuchou held the princess and jumped to the other side without saying a word, avoiding the attack.

In the air, a dark black dragon appeared. In addition to being relatively small and black, it was basically very similar to the giant dragon when I met it.

"Dragon, there are other dragons, but why does it appear here?"

Without giving Wuchou any time to think about it, the Black Dragon once again sent out a strong storm and attacked the two.

Wuchou fled around with the princess in his arms again. Looking at the scars on the ground, Wuchou finally knew why no one continued to plant here and was killed by this dragon.

"Even if it's a dragon, it's invalid for me now."

Seeing a spear, Wuchou threw it out without any mercy and aimed at the heart of the black dragon and directly penetrated it and knocked the other party down.

"good."

Seeing his attack hit, Wuchou quickly ran over and ended up, and cut off the dragon's head with one knife to prevent it from continuing to do evil.

"strangeness."

Wuchou didn't know why he was so simple to deal with these dragons. All the actions just now seemed like he knew what he should do.

Wuchou didn't notice that the dragon's tattoo on his body was flashing.

"Princess, let's go quickly. Since the dragon is dead, maybe there will be more trouble waiting for us later."

"Uh-huh."

The princess didn't waste time, so she quickly followed Wuchou and continued to move forward.

~The capital, in front of the door~

"What's going on?"

There are two or two small camps around the gate, surrounded by the gate, and everyone seems to have lived here temporarily, as if there is any danger inside.

The guard said happily when he saw the two people walking over.

"Mr. Juezhe, Princess, you are finally back. It's great that we are saved."

"What does it mean?"

Seeing Wuchou's doubts, the guards slowly explained.

"Since the disappearance of the dragon, the king has had many problems, the weather has become worse, and the surroundings have become unsafe. The lord has not seen us recently. We now need Lord Awaken and the princess to come back to take charge of the overall situation."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look first."

Since the guards said so seriously, Wuchou should go inside to see the situation first.

~Rich capital, commercial street~

In the once prosperous commercial street, the entire ground collapsed due to the dragon, and about half of the land in the royal capital fell into the abyss. At that time, those who had not left had been corrupted by the power of the abyss.

Looking at the big pit in front of you, Wuchou felt that there were terrible powers in it, calling for himself

"No sorrow, no sorrow."

Wuchou just now, when he saw the big pit, he finally woke up after hearing the princess' call.

"Wuchou, what's wrong?"

The princess was worried that it was the first time she saw Wuchou like this, and this big pit made her feel uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, let's go back early, the lord is waiting for us."

~ Castle ~

Wuchou first let the princess go to his room alone to pack his things Wuchou first went to find the lord.

Wuchou went straight to the lord's office, looking at the empty person inside and wondered where the lord had gone.

"You're here."

An old and weak voice came from under the curtains beside him.

Wuchou opened the curtains and saw an old man with white hair sitting there, looking at the scenery outside the castle.

Looking at the other person's clothes, Wuchou knew that the old man in front of him was the cheap dad of the lord who was in his prime, the Zhenhong Princess.

"Lord, you."

"Haha, from the moment you defeated the dragon, my body began to experience the destruction of time again, and it changed back to the age you should have."

The lord continued.

"I know everything about this capital, but now I can't solve it."

The princess happened to pack up her playful things and saw Wuchou talking to the familiar and strange old man in front of her. The princess was confused for a moment.

"Awakened, I will leave my daughter to you. You must take good care of her, and the last thing."

"Save, save this country, save this world, this is my old man, the last request."

Wuchou nodded, walked to the princess and held the other person's hand.

"I will do it."

“Eh?”

The princess recognized this time, and the old man in front of her was her father.

"Princess, let's talk to him for a while. This is what you have to do. I'm going to investigate something."

After saying that, Wuchou closed the door silently and left some time for the two of them.

~Rich capital, Adventurers Association ~

"Abyss?"

After hearing Wuchou's words, the president of the association knew that this matter might be related to the mysterious power that had been prophesy.

"Abyss, this is a threat from ancient times. I didn't expect that the abyss will appear again in our current era. Do you think that big pit is the base of the abyss?"

"I think so, so I want to know, what's going on here."

The president took out all the information he left behind and finally gave Wuchou an old map.

"This is the place where it used to be. It is said that the entire abyss has several different rooms, and each room has different enemies. You have to be careful."

Taking away the map of the association president, Wuchou came to the near the big pit again. Looking at the big pit underground, he heard the call again.

"Awakened, you heard it right."

At this time, a man in cloak walked out from behind Wuchou, looked at Wuchou and said silently.

"Below this is the entrance to the abyss. It is said that only those who have collected 20 dragon hearts can enter the gate of the abyss and know the truth of the world."

"The truth of the world?"

"That's right."

The man in the cape pointed to the burning broken walls in the pit and said.

"Those are the rooms of the abyss. Each room represents something different. You have to go in, find the heart of the dragon, gather all the hearts, and open the door."

"This is the way to save the world, the Awakened."

After finishing, the man in the cloak jumped and fell directly into the abyss.
