Chapter 87: Magford’s Decision, Abandon Bohr Village?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Magford’s door slowly opened, and Molmo saw Magford’s figure.

Magford was a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He looked like he had taken good care of himself, and his hair did not show any signs of graying. However, perhaps due to fatigue, the wrinkles on his face were rather pronounced.

Magford, who was wearing a nightgown, was still sleepy. He seemed to have just been woken up by the guards and was still not fully awake.

After taking a glance at Molmo, who was in a sorry state, Magford stretched his head forward and observed Molmo even more carefully.

“Oh, I know you.”

“Are you the son of the village chief of Bohr village, or the son of the village chief of Grovka Village?”

Magford asked.

“I’m from Bohr village. Gran Mengka is my father.”

Molmo hurriedly introduced himself.

Gran Mengka was Molmo’s father, the chief of Bohr Village.

Magford nodded and asked in puzzlement.

“In that case, why are you here in the middle of the night instead of spending the joyous summer solstice with your father?” 

“Could it be that you’re here invite me to spend the summer solstice together with Bohr village?”

Molmo hurriedly shook his head.

Even though Magford was benevolent and treated Bohr Village very well, he would likely fly into a rage should he learn that his slumber was disturbed over the trivial matter of celebrating the summer solstice together.

After all, Magford was a duke, not a saint.

“Duke Magford…”

Molmo hurriedly told Magford everything he knew about the dragon threat.

Initially, Magford had a sleepy and blank expression, however, as Molmo’s tale progressed, he started to frown and he began to take on a dark expression.

A dragon appeared in the Moldos Mountain Range. How could this news not shock magford.

One had to know that Magford had hailed from the Belagroya family. The family had guarded the territory of the Moldos Mountain Range for decades, and despite the perpetual conflict that the continent was in, the Belagroya family had never given up on their territory.

Magford quickly headed to his study room. It was a library of knowledge that had been passed down had the family tree that the Bella Gloria family had passed down for generations.

Magford wanted to confirm what kind of existence dragons were.

Magford was a well-read individual. He had a basic understanding of the ferocious beasts that dominated the land and sky. 

What he was hoping to confirm, however, was the purity of the dragon within their region. Should the dragon be impure, he was confident that he could find a way to deal with it. However, should the dragon be pure-born…

It would be beyond his means to deal with it.

After about half an hour of reading, Magford Belagroya’s eyebrows furrowed.

As expected, his immediate ancestors had never encountered dragons before.

However, a number of the former lords, who were Magford’s ancestors, had seen the mysterious snow monsters living in the Moldos Mountain Range.

The snow monsters had different figures. Some looked like humans, but they were 3 to 4 meters tall. Some were in the shape of ferocious beasts. What attracted Magford’s attention the most, was a message from Zeppelin Belagroya from 300 years ago.

It was stated that someone had spotted a snow monster in the shape of a dragon within the Moldos Mountain Range. However, beyond that, the message did not contain anything else.

Most likely, Zeppelin had chalked it up to the villager imagining it, and thus, he did not spend any time investigating it.

Magford looked at Molmo. It could be seen that he was in a very bad mood, so he said to his maid.

“Inform the guards to form a 10-man team to escort Molmo back to Bohr village.”

“After escorting Molmo, have them stationed near Bohr village and investigate its surroundings. Should they spot any traces of a dragon, they should immediately return and inform me.”

Soon, 10 well-equipped guards appeared in front of Magford at the maid’s notice.

They were all wearing thick silver armor, which was the best cover for them in the snow.

They stood in a line before Magford, and they each carried grim expressions on their faces.

After all, they had heard from the maid that there were traces of a dragon near Bohr Village.

Bohr Village was not far from the lord’s manor. Thus, if the dragon so desired, it could quickly arrive at the lord’s residence after attacking Bohr Village.

Of course, this was under the premise that the information provided by Molmo was true.

If the information Molmo provided was false and he had deliberately lied to them, no matter how good MAgford’s temper was, the guards under him were not to be trifled with.

“Remember, if you do encounter a dragon, do not fight it.”

Magford said solemnly.

He knew how terrifying a dragon was. It had tyrannical strength, was almost invulnerable to knives and spears, and had a talent for magic that many had yearned for.

Levelling a city was piece of cake to these fearsome creatures.

The guards nodded very seriously and gave a military salute to Magford.

“Duke, we will definitely complete the mission perfectly.”

Magford nodded.

At this moment, Molmo had already left the room and was waiting for Magford’s news downstairs.

“Attention, I have one last thing to tell you.”

“Should a dragon appear and threaten Bohr Village, you are allowed to abandon Bohr Village should you deem fit.”

Magfo hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out the decision in his heart.

“After giving up on Bohr village, immediately head to the other villages and assist them in taking refuge.”

“The strength we possess is insignificant against a dragon. Should it actually lay harm to Bohr Village, we can only offer up Bohr Village as a sacrifice, in hopes that the safety of the other villages would be spared.”

Upon hearing those words, one of the guards hurriedly stated, “Duke Magford…”

“Perhaps, we have other ways!”
