Chapter 194 -2: The Trio

As the news that Damarlinsk Castle had been successfully explored by adventurers spread, along with the rumor of the discovery of the ruins of the ancient Dwarven civilization in the Volt Mountain Range echoing louder across the Continent, more and more adventurers began to flock to the area.

The various fine wines and books obtained from Damarlinsk Castle, as well as a multitude of oil paintings and antiques, became the best means for Puber to proclaim the wealth of Caucasus to the outside world. The rumor about the discovery of the ruins of the ancient Dwarven civilization in the Volt Mountain Range was entirely fabricated—merely an idea Puber came up with after hearing a drunken Dwarf boast that there were ancient ruins in the mountains.

The more foreigners came, the more they could promote the economic development of Caucasus. At the very least, these adventurers would bring something to Caucasus, whether it was news from the outside world or simply their spending money. The Caucasus Prefecture would always profit from it.

Under such a mindset, Puber was almost purposefully engaging in spreading rumors.

As the rumors about the ancient Dwarven ruins in the Volt Mountain Range became more and more heated, the discovery of the Wicked Dragon’s Nest near the Nether Sea once again shocked the entire kingdom and even the Continent. Almost everyone’s attention turned to this remote area that, just a year ago, few knew of.

The Wicked Dragon’s Nest?! It was simply a tremendous treasure. Everyone knew that Dragons liked to amass jewelry and treasures, and the Wicked Dragon was a tyrant of the seas. The Shark people had to give up large quantities of pearls to ensure their safety, yet even so, the Wicked Dragon frequently attacked the prosperous Shark people, plundering their harvests.

The Wicked Dragon also targeted past merchant fleets, at times delving deep into the land to attack caravans and seize valuable items.

If one could discover the Wicked Dragon’s Nest, it would undoubtedly mean finding the entrance to a treasure hoard. Although the Wicked Dragon was extremely fierce, a Dragon, after all, is not a God.

It might possess a certain level of intelligence, but compared to humans who are seasoned in scheming, the Dragon was far from being their opponent. The humans could devise ways to avoid head-on conflict with the Dragon. They would set up various traps and snares, luring the Dragon into their plots, and ultimately plunder everything it possessed, including the Dragon itself.

Of course, these rumors without exception were fabricated by Puber and Komer after consulting with each other. Puber had no guilt in his heart; in his mind, the Volt Mountain Range definitely contained ancient ruins—it was just a matter of whether one had the determination to thoroughly explore the hundreds of miles of forests.

As for the Wicked Dragon in the Nether Sea, it was well known to everyone, hence its nest had to exist objectively. As to who discovered it and where exactly it was, that was uncertain.

Every year, not a few adventurers perished inside the belly of the Dragon, many of whom, it was believed, met their end because they uncovered the secret of the Wicked Dragon’s treasure. It was believed that one could certainly pinpoint the location of its nest based on the Wicked Dragon’s usual behaviors, if one was truly determined.

From the breaking of Damarlinsk Castle, seen as a forbidden place, to the appearance of ancient Dwarven ruins in the Volt Mountain Range, and the discovery of the Wicked Dragon’s treasure in the Nether Sea, this series of astonishing news set off increasing waves of excitement among the kingdom of Nicosia, the Continent’s magic community, and the adventurer circles, with nearly everyone involved in the pursuit of adventure echoing this news that was enough to capture any adventurer’s heart.

It had been a long time since the Continent had witnessed such a thrilling discovery of treasure. If one could get a share of it, no one was willing to fall behind.

Countless adventurers from all over the Continent had joined the hunt for treasure. Although the land route to Caucasus was closed, the shipping lanes from Cyprus and Odessa to Mattdam were fully open, with ships bound for Mattdam departing almost daily. Recently, the ships were packed with adventurers filled with longing.

One might not dare dream of the Wicked Dragon’s treasure, but searching for the Dwarven ruins could yield many exotic treasures. Almost every weapon crafted by the Dwarves was a classic masterpiece, and anything hidden within ancient civilization could be considered a divine artifact. If one could secure one or two of these artifacts, the venture would not have been in vain.

Every day, hundreds of individuals of varying backgrounds poured into Mattdam, with adventurers and explorers now far outnumbering the merchants and immigrants who had originally made up the main demographic. Mattdam had become an important hub, from where one could take a horse-drawn carriage northwest, directly to Santiago at the foothills of the Volt Mountain.

This place was originally an unnamed small town, but with the mass exploitation of coal mines in the Volt Mountain Range and the settlement of a large number of escaped slaves here followed by an influx of new immigrants, there was an urgent need for a new name for this fair that now had a permanent population of over five thousand people.

This honor could only be bestowed by the great Caucasus Lord, and Komer grudgingly named it Santiago.

In ancient mythology, Santiago means “Land of the Lost Angel,” and in using this term to name the town developing at the foothills of Volt Mountain, Komer intended it as a blessing.

Now, with the discovery from the ruins of the ancient Dwarven civilization, Santiago had become livelier. The intrusion of over a hundred adventurers and explorers added an element of mystery to the town. Maps sold in town, sketched based on the descriptions by Half-beast Hunters and slaves who had once lived in hiding in the Volt Mountain Range, became the hottest items.
