If Locke did not check Eliza’s attributes, he would still feel that he was very strong!

He clicked on Eliza’s attributes to check it out.

After seeing that, Locke could not help but cover his own head. This number was ten times higher than his own?!

Clifford saw Locke’s conflicted expression and asked with concern, “Did you not sleep well? Or were you injured during the battle?”

Locke immediately waved his hand and explained, “No, it’s nothing like that! I just realized that Eliza is way stronger than I am!”

Hearing that, Clifford said matter-of-factly, “There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, dragons and humans are two different species. Even the strongest human High Priest Hanos could not defeat a dragon with his body alone.”

Hearing that, Locke was a little confused. “Since High Priest Hanos was the strongest man in the continent, how did he defeat the dragon?”

Clifford originally did not want to reveal this secret, but the person beside him was the one of the captains of the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons. This was something that he would find out sooner or later, so Clifford told him everything.

“The Hanos Technology Tower has the best technology in the continent. High Priest Hanos spent fifty years researching the technology of the Steel Dragon!

“By integrating the dragon soul into the core, High Priest Hanos defeated 95% of the experts we know!

“That’s why humans hail him as the strongest in the entire continent!”

Technological products! Steel Dragons! Even Locke’s 21st century world had not been able to accomplish this feat. Who would have thought that someone in this world had already done it!

“High Priest Hanos was impressive! Since he’d manage to develop such impressive technology, why was it not shared with the rest of the empire?”

Upon hearing this, Clifford spread out his arms helplessly. “I’ve already said that it takes fifty years to create one! Although the high priest has protected the Kingdom of Dunmei for close to a hundred years, it was because of another dragon!

“He took 50 years to create the steel dragon after the continent was safe from attacks. However, his second invention had yet to complete when he died recently!

“Alright, kid, that’s all I can tell you for now!

“If I tell you any more than that, the king will make you his key target!”

Locke ignored him and turned his head to the side. “I didn’t ask you! You told me all this yourself! So, if anyone comes looking to me for trouble for this leak of information, it’s your problem!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! You usually look silly, but now you’re so alert. It seems like you really do suit the position of a captain in the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons ranks!”

Locke turned his head and ignored him. He started studying the System Merchant Shop. He opened the System Merchant Shop and found that there were all kinds of items inside, and they were all rare items.

The equipment bar was filled with Legendary equipment.

The restorative potions available there were all high-grade recovery potions. However, the price of each bottle of high-grade recovery potions was no less than 10,000 points.

There were various selections for materials. Many of the items here were cheaper, but some of the legendary materials were more expensive.

There were too many things to look at but Locke was in no mood to choose. “I’ll take a look when I have time or when I need it!”

The few hundred points on him were not enough for him to squander a few items from the shop.

Very soon, the two of them returned to the headquarters in the city. As soon as they reached the office, they saw a bag of gold coins on the table. It looked like a lot.

Adolf Green was still the same as before, sitting there and puffing smoke rings toward the ceiling. Locke was very worried about the flame on the cigarette butt. Would it accidentally fall into his eyes?

“Yo! Locke, you did well this time!

“It’s your first mission, and you dug out such a big fish!”

Looking at Green’s cunning eyes, Locke had a nagging feeling that Green had known about it but sending them out the mission. Seeing Locke’s vigilant eyes, Grimm’s expression immediately returned to normal. He pushed the gold coins on the table toward Locke.

“These are the rewards for your mission. A total of one platinum coin and 500 gold coins!

“After all, you killed an enemy necromancer and an adult Bone Dragon!”

Locke took the coin bag and took out an exquisite platinum coin. He looked at it, then held the bag of gold coins in his hands and shook it.

Then he handed the platinum coin to Clifford. However, Clifford didn’t take it. Instead, he said, “Kid, accept the money!” Then, he grabbed a handful of gold coins from the bag.

“This is enough for me! After all, I was appointed by the king to be your mentor. Even if I help you complete the mission, I won’t receive any reward!

“It’s great that you have such a kind heart. I just need to buy some cigarettes and alcohol!”

Locke had no choice but to obediently keep the money in his storage space. Because of the existence of the system, Locke did not need the badge space to store his money.

Just as the two of them were about to grab a drink, Adolf Green raised his hand and frowned. “Wait! There seems to be an emergency!”

There was a communication device in his ear. After listening for a while, he quickly wrote something on the paper.

“Something seems to have happened to Team 3. Please go and support them!

“There seems to be a large-scale magical beasts riot in the northwestern part of the kingdom. Except for the leader, the other four have all been killed. Team 1 and Team 2 are currently busy with other missions!

“Head there to provide them with support now!”

Locke was stunned. “Just me?”

Green looked up at Clifford. “Aren’t there two of you?”

“I will ask the King for help, so please hold on for a little longer!”

Locke only needed to take the orders, but Clifford knew what Green was thinking. When he came in just now, he saw that the first and second teams were free and unoccupied. The reason he specially assigned Locke to go was in an attempt to avoid the death of any one of the members of the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons.

Green knew that Locke was a person that the king valued very much, so he used Locke to ask for help. The King’s Senate would soon approve the reinforcement.

When Locke walked out of the room, Clifford immediately pointed at Grimm with his finger. He looked as if he had something to say, but he did not say it.

Green just spread his hands helplessly and smiled bitterly..
