Seeing that the other party was so polite, Dumb hurriedly returned the courtesy. "You, you don't have to be so polite, we were just passing by, Uncle Ao Er did not have any instructions."

West Africa was taken aback. Listening to Dumb's voice, he did not seem to be very old. He asked with some puzzlement, "May I ask, which elder of the Sorcerers Guild are you?"

Yan Li said proudly, "My brother was just conferred the title of elder by President Cary."

Yanshi pulled his brother. He understood that Yan Li's temperament was too straightforward, and Dumb was too inarticulate. He had no choice but to step forward and explain, "Lord commander, hello. We really came from the City of Light, but we are not emissaries. We just want to pass through the military camp and go to the Sunset Empire. In the City of Light, City Lord Aldous had given us a token, saying that with this token we can pass through any military camp of the Hwasin Empire. "

West Africa breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was not Aldous who had given them new instructions. Knowing the identity of the other party, he was still very curious about the three people, especially the person wearing the attire of the Sorcerers Guild elder. "Since that's the case, I will order people to escort you three out of the camp. Please rest for a while and eat something. Come, prepare the food for the three guests. "

Dumb lifted the cloak on his head, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Lord commander." They had traveled for half a day, and were indeed somewhat tired.

The generals in the command, seeing Dumb's young appearance, including West Africa, were all shocked. West Africa involuntarily exclaimed, "Elder, so you're so young."

Dumby smiled awkwardly and said, "I. "My magic level is actually not high, obtaining the position of elder was just luck."

West Africa laughed. "Strength can prove everything. To be able to obtain the recognition of the Pipa Sorcerers Guild, how can the word luck be used to explain it? Elder is really young and promising! How about this, you go and rest first, when you leave, I will send people to escort you through the camp. " He ordered the soldiers to bring Dumb and the other two out of the command center.

After watching Dumb and the other two leave, West Africa frowned and returned to his seat of honor. He had always handled matters cautiously, and such a young elder of the Sorcerers Guild naturally aroused his suspicions. But Dumb and the other two did have Aldos' token, so he couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

The staff officer on the side clearly saw the confusion in the commander's heart and stepped forward to say, "Acting Commander-in-Chief, I think these three people are very suspicious. Although I don't know magic, I've heard of the difficulty of practicing magic. The young man looked less than twenty years old. How could he have the ability of an elder of the Sorcerers Guild? There must be a trick somewhere. Perhaps they were spies from the Sunset Empire hidden within our borders. As soon as they saw our guards, they wanted to rush back to the Sunset Empire. I think we should leave them in the barracks. "

The staff officer's words struck a chord in West Africa's heart. He nodded and said, "That's possible. But how did they get the token of Governor Aldos? I checked earlier. That token was indeed real. This matter must be handled carefully. If they really got the token from the governor and we detain them without permission, I'm afraid the governor will blame us. "

The staff officer was also in a dilemma. He frowned and said, "Those dark forces of the Sunset Empire have a lot of strange abilities. Maybe they stole the governor's token. "

West Africa shook his head and said, "Although that's possible, the governor's token has always been kept very tight, and the governor has many experts protecting him. It won't be that easy to steal it. It's better to be cautious. "

Rick, who was sitting below West Africa, said, "Big brother, this is simple. We just need to test their strength. Won't we know if they are real or fake? "

West Africa was surprised and asked, "How do we test them? Can their strength prove their identity? "

Rick smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course it can. "Of course we can prove it, big brother, don't forget, we also have people from the magician's union here! The elder's strength shouldn't be too weak. "

West Africa's eyes lit up and said, "You mean …"

Rick nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me. If they are spies, I guarantee that not a single one of them will escape. You guys continue to discuss the Sunset Empire, I'll take care of it. "With that, he turned and walked out of the command center. Sorcerers had a high status in the army. Even the Hwasin Empire, which had the most sorcerers, only had three hundred-man sorcerers squads. They never participated in military meetings and would only take action when there was a war. They were more expensive than knights, and the treatment of a hundred-man sorcerer squad was equivalent to that of a ten-thousand-man army.

Dumb and the other two were warmly received in a tent not far from the command center. After the three had a full meal, their exhaustion was gone. They sat together and looked at the signboard which part of the Sunset Empire they should start looking for traces of the elves. At this time, the tent's curtains opened and two sorcerers walked in. From their magic robes, one was a water sorcerer, and the other was a fire sorcerer. They weren't young, around 60 years old. When they saw Dumb's attire, their eyes lit up. The fire sorcerer was stunned when he saw the six-pointed star on Dumb's shoulder. Then, he respectfully said, "Sorcerers Guild Leader Siri of the 3rd Sorcerers Guild greets the elder." With that, he and the water sorcerer bowed to Dumb at the same time.

Dumb was shocked. He quickly stood up and bowed back. "No, no need to be so polite. Commander Siri, were you looking for me?"

Siri looked at his companion and nodded. "Yes, we heard that the elder of the Sorcerers Guild came here. As a member of the Sorcerers Guild, how could we not come to greet him?"

Dumb quickly said, "Please take a seat. Don't be so polite. I'm only an elder in name."

Siri and his companion were invited by the commander of the 2nd Legion to verify the identity of Dumb and the other two. When he heard that an elder who wasn't even 20 years old had come, he immediately snorted. The practice of magic required time. In the Sorcerers Guild, only magicians who had reached the level of a Magic Shooter could become an elder. How could a youth who wasn't even 20 years old reach this level?

Siri's eyes were filled with contempt. He went straight to the point and said, "The Sorcerers Guild has another elder. We are all very surprised. Can I take a look at your magic card?"

Dumby said awkwardly, "You don't have to call me Elder anymore. My name is Dumby. You can just call me by my name. This is my card." As he said that, he handed over the golden card that Cary had given him. Siri's eyes flashed with surprise as he took the card. Previously, he was sure that Dumb was an impersonator of an elder. However, when he saw the identity card, he couldn't help but give up on his previous conjecture. A magic robe could be imitated, but an elder-level magic card couldn't be faked. This was because the method to make a golden magic card was extremely complicated. Only the elders and the president knew how to make it. In order to make an elder-level magic card and give it to the new elder, the president had to agree to it. Not only did the president have to agree, but at least five elders had to approve it. The card had to be made by the president after it passed the review. Judging from the energy contained in this magic card and the appearance of the card, it was indeed a genuine item. Siri's heart was instantly filled with more respect. His previous doubts were all gone. He handed the card back to Dumb with both hands and said, "So you really are the new elder of the Sorcerers Guild. Siri, sorry for offending you. "

Dumb hurriedly said, "No, no, how could you offend me? To be honest, I still don't know why Uncle Cary made me an elder. "

Siri said with some difficulty, "Elder Dumb. Why do you want to go to the Sunset Empire? The situation on both sides is very tense now. If you go there, I'm afraid that something bad will happen to you! "

Dumb was just about to answer, but Yanshi interrupted, "Captain Siri, you don't have to beat around the bush to test us. Is it because Brother Dumb is too young to believe that he is an elder of the Sorcerers Guild? "From the moment Siri and Cary entered the room, Yanshi could tell the purpose of their visit from their expressions.

Siri was tongue-tied by Yanshi's questions. He quickly said, "No, no, no, that's not what we meant. It's just that the generals in the army saw the elder's young age and were afraid that he was a spy from the Sunset Empire. That's why they asked us to identify him. Elder Dumb's magic card has already proved his identity. We have no more doubts. However, those soldiers are all stubborn. Elder Dumb, can you show them your magical prowess so that they won't have any more doubts? "

Yanshi said angrily, "That's exactly what I meant. Do the troops of the Hwasin Empire not trust their friends? We came with Governor Aldous' token. "

The impulsive Yan Li stood up and pulled out the axes from his back. He said angrily, "Big brother, Dumb, let's go. Let's see who dares to stop us."

Dumb was startled. He quickly pulled Yan Li and said, "Big brother Yan Li, don't be impulsive. It's no wonder they would be suspicious. I really don't look like an elder. However, Captain Siri, my magical prowess is really not high. How do you want me to show it? "

Siri had already confirmed Dumb's identity. However, after hearing him say that, he couldn't help but be doubtful. How could he sit in the position of an elder without any strength? "Elder Dumby, you don't have to be so humble. You just need to show off your strength and let the generals of the army take a look."

Dumb scratched his head and said awkwardly, "But, but I only know ordinary fire magic!"

Yan Li said, "Who said that? Don't you know some summoning magic? Dumb, just summon a dragon and let them see it. Let them know how powerful you are. "

Dumby's heart skipped a beat. Only now did he remember why he was able to become an Elder. He thought that summoning a dragon and raising a dragon were two different things. Although it was still shocking, it should be acceptable. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright then. Captain Sirui, please ask them to make some space for me first. I'll try."

When Siri heard Yan Li say that Dumb had the ability to summon a dragon, he immediately had a whole new level of respect for him. He agreed in surprise and walked out with his assistant.

Yan Li snorted angrily, "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to pass through here. If I had known, we would have taken a detour."

Yanshi, who had calmed down, shook his head and said, "Actually, we can't blame them. Right now, the relationship between the Hwasin Empire and the Sunset Empire is tense. Their suspicions are not without reason. Alright, let's go out. Brother Dumb, do you have the confidence to summon another dragon? If you can't, don't force it. If you really can't, we can only stay here. "

Yan Li said angrily, "If they don't let us pass. We'll kill our way out. "

Yanshi glared at him and said sarcastically, "If you have the ability, go ahead! There are 100,000 soldiers outside. What can you do even if you are powerful? Can you defeat a hundred thousand well-trained soldiers? "

Yan Li was speechless and couldn't say a word.

Dumb hesitated. "Summoning" a dragon was easy for him. However, he was still afraid to summon it in front of so many people. It would be too shocking. "Brother Yanshi, can we leave if we summon a dragon?" Yanshi was stunned and said, "Dumb, are you not sure? If you are not sure, then forget it. If it really doesn't work, we'll stay here. They won't dare to do anything to us. When they get the news from Castellan Aldos, they will naturally let us go. "

Dumb said, "It's not that I'm not sure. It's just that summoning a dragon is a bit too scary."

Yanshi shook his head and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Right now, no matter where you are. As long as you have the strength, everyone will respect you. A mage who summons a dragon, how powerful is that! "

Dumb smiled bitterly and said, "Alright then, let's' summon 'one more time. We can't afford to waste any more time. The earlier we save the elves, the less suffering they'll have to endure. "

The three of them walked out of the tent. There were already many people gathered outside. Among them were all the members of the mage squad and hundreds of soldiers. West Africa didn't appear, as if he was afraid of being embarrassed in front of Dumb and the others. Rick stood in front of the soldiers with a cold smile on his face. He would never believe that a young man who looked less than 20 years old could summon a dragon. Seeing that Dumby and the other two had come out, Si Rui gave Rick a look. Rick ordered the soldiers to disperse, leaving an empty space of a few hundred square meters in the middle of the military camp. Si Rui instructed the magicians under his command to chant magic spells together. Among the hundred members of this magician group, there were a total of four Master Magicians, twenty-seven Advanced Magicians, and the rest were all Intermediate Magicians. Although they didn't have very powerful magic abilities, they had worked together for many years. When they joined forces to cast group magic, even a mage would have a headache for a while. Under the flash of light, a layer of colorful magic barrier suddenly appeared in the open space. The gorgeous colors were amazing.

Si Rui said to Dumb, "Elder. This barrier is one-way and only protects the inside. If you summon the dragon inside, it won't affect the outside. However, we have never seen a dragon's attack before. You should be careful and don't let him destroy it. "

Dumb nodded and walked straight into the barrier. When he passed through the barrier, he didn't encounter any resistance. He only felt a wave of energy sweep past his body. Standing in the middle of the open space, Dumb closed his eyes and used his mental strength to send a message to the Holy Evil in the Blood of the Dragon God. The Holy Evil felt that Dumb was calling for it and was instantly overjoyed. "Big brother, are you looking for me?"

Dumb used his mental strength to tell it, "Xiao Xie, I can only let you out for a short while. Can you come back after that? "

The Holy Evil said with some grievance, "Big brother, Xiao Xie is so boring! And I haven't eaten for a long time. Can you get me something to eat? "

Dumb was stunned and asked, "Are you hungry?"

The Holy Evil replied with some embarrassment, "Not really, but I'm a little hungry." After all, it was only half a year old and was still a child. Its love for food was no less than Dumb's desire for steamed buns in the small city of Nino. Dumb deeply understood this feeling. "Alright. Big brother will try to get you something to eat. Alright, I'm going to let you out. Don't run around after you're out. "

The people outside the barrier saw that Dumb didn't move and were a little anxious. Rick had a cold smile on his face. If Dumb couldn't use a magic that satisfied him after a while, he would order for him to be arrested. He murmured, "Spy of the Sunset Empire, don't even think about escaping from me."

Dumb suddenly opened his eyes. In order to make it more realistic, he activated the vital energy in his body and his body suddenly emitted a white light. Under the holy aura, Dumb's simple and honest face looked very solemn. He chanted softly, "With the blood of the Dragon God as the guide, open the gate of time and space." A blue halo spread from Dumb's chest and a circle of blue light floated out.

A loud dragon's roar resounded through the sky. In the blue light, the figure of the Holy Evil appeared. Under the sunlight, the gray scales on the Holy Evil's long body reflected the light, and the seven sharp horns on the back of its head were even more dazzling. It spread its wings and roared at the sky, its golden eyes shining with a strange light. It had finally come out to take a breather, so of course it wanted to stretch its body and reinvigorate itself.

After not seeing the Holy Evil for a few days, Dumby missed it very much. When it saw its huge and familiar figure, He had forgotten that he was being tested by the army. He flew up and gently landed on the head of the Holy Evil. He grabbed one of its horns and stabilized his body. Sitting on the neck of the Holy Evil, Dumb patted its head and said, "Xiao Xie, I missed you so much!"

The Holy Evil let out a soft moan. Its voice rang in Dumb's heart, "Brother, I missed you too!"

Rick was already dumbfounded. The Holy Evil's huge and imposing figure had already been deeply imprinted in everyone's mind. His body radiated light in all directions, making him look sacred in everyone's eyes. Sirui shouted, "Elder, that's enough. You can put the dragon back. " The dragon's aura from the Holy Evil's body kept attacking the surrounding magic barrier. This was enough to prove Dumb's strength. He finally understood why Dumb could become an elder of the Union.

The Holy Evil groaned and shook its head. It was obvious that it did not want to return to the Blood of the Dragon God so soon. Only then did Dumb realize that there were so many people around. He said to the Holy Evil through his mind power, "Xiao Xie, be good. There are too many people here. You should go back first. Okay? "

"Brother, that's not good. You just promised to let me eat something delicious. You can't go back on your word."

Dumb did not want to force the Holy Evil. After all, they had already seen it. He floated down from the Holy Evil's back. He said to it, "Then stay here obediently and don't walk around. Big Brother will go find you something to eat. " When the Holy Evil heard that it did not have to return to the Blood of the Dragon God immediately, it nodded its head excitedly. It lay on the ground and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. It closed its eyes and looked relaxed.

Dumb shook his head helplessly and walked towards Sirui. When he reached the magic barrier, he suddenly encountered an invisible barrier. "Leader Sirui, shouldn't you put the barrier back first?"

Sirui looked at the Holy Evil hesitantly and said, "But, but you haven't put the dragon back yet!"

Dumb smiled and said, "Don't worry. I summoned it and it will listen to my command. Moreover, it is very docile and will not attack anyone easily."

Sirui was relieved. He ordered his Magicians to open the barrier and welcomed Dumb out. When Rick saw Dumb coming out of the barrier, he immediately came back to his senses. He quickly ran over and said excitedly, "Elder, your magic is amazing. This is the first time I have seen the legendary dragon. It's so beautiful. If I could become a dragon knight, how awesome would that be! Elder, are you selling your dragon? I am willing to exchange all my assets for it. "

When he heard that he wanted to buy the Holy Evil, Dumb's face immediately darkened. "I'm not selling it. It is my friend, not a commodity. Moreover, I summoned it with magic. It will disappear in a while. " He turned to Sirui and said, "Leader Sirui, this dragon is a little hungry. Can you find some food for it?"

Sirui was stunned. Although he did not know the theory behind summoning magic, he had never heard of summoned creatures needing to eat. He quickly agreed and said, "Yes, yes, Leader Rick, you see …" Although Rick was rejected by Dumb, he was not angry. The more he looked at the silver dragon, the more he liked it. "No problem, I will go find some delicious food for it." After saying that, he turned around and ran away excitedly. At this time, the news of Dumby summoning a dragon had almost spread throughout the entire military camp. In an instant, the soldiers who came to watch had already surrounded Jie Shu so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. This made it difficult for the Magicians. Their magic level was not very high, so it was very difficult for them to maintain the barrier. However, seeing that Dumb had no intention of retrieving the dragon, for the safety of the camp, Sirui naturally could not let them remove the barrier. He could only try his best to maintain the barrier.

Of course, West Africa had received the news. When he heard that Dumb had summoned the dragon, he immediately scolded the staff officer and personally led his subordinates to the barrier. "Ah! Elder, I am sorry. I heard that Leader Rick mistook you as a spy and wanted to test you. I was very angry. This was not the intention of our command. Don't worry, I will definitely punish him. " West Africa was indeed a sly old fox. With a simple sentence, he pushed all the blame to Rick.

Rick happened to be walking back with a large plate of food. When he heard West Africa's words, he could not help but get angry. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly understood West Africa's meaning. He quickly came forward and smiled apologetically. "Yes, yes, this is all my fault. Elder, please don't take it to heart. I was only thinking for the sake of the Hwasin Empire. The situation is tense now, and we have to be on guard! You guys came too suddenly. I accept the punishment, I accept the punishment. "

West Africa looked at Rick with satisfaction. As expected, his old brother understood his intentions. Pushing all the blame to Rick was better than letting this powerful elder of the Sorcerers Guild misunderstand the entire Light Tiger Army. He pretended to be angry. "Leader Rick, you have gone too far today. Elder is our most distinguished guest. How could you misunderstand him? As the acting commander of the army, I announce that from now on, his salary will be suspended for half a year. "

Rick hurriedly and respectfully accepted this punishment that was neither painful nor itchy. He carried the food to Dumb and said, "Elder, do you think it's time to give this food to the dragon you summoned?"

Dumb looked at Rick's excited face as he carried the large plate. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The plate was filled with all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish. It was unknown where Rick found them. He nodded and said, "Give me the food. I will bring it in. "

Rick smiled awkwardly. "Elder, can I go in with you? Didn't you say it will listen to your orders? I just want to see what the dragon looks like when I enter. "

Dumb nodded. "Alright then. Leader Sirui, you can remove the barrier now. I guarantee that the dragon will not harm anyone. However, don't let the soldiers get too close to it. "

West Africa shouted, "Generals, remember to take care of your soldiers. What's with all of you crowding around here? Aren't you going to be a joke to Elder? What happened to your usual strict attitude in managing the army? Elder, don't worry. The Radiant Tiger Army has always been disciplined. They will definitely not provoke your dragon. Elder, do you think I can go in with you to take a look? " West Africa's expression was almost the same as Rick's. Who wouldn't want to come into contact with a legendary creature like a dragon?

Dumb looked at West Africa's eager expression and nodded. "Alright then."

Yanshi snorted. "Now you're pretending to be the good guy. You're acting like a coward when you first suspected us. " He wouldn't be like the naive Dumb, who would be tricked by West Africa's words. Without the orders of the highest commander, who would dare to suspect the Elder of the Sorcerers Guild who carried the Ordos Token?

West Africa had been a soldier for so many years and had long trained his mental fortitude. As if he didn't hear anything, he accompanied Dumb and Rick into the barrier.

Dumb walked to the Holy Evil's side and patted its big head. He said in a soft voice, "Big lazy worm, are you asleep? Hurry up and eat something. We're going back after that. " The Holy Evil opened its eyes. Two Strangers stood up beside Dumb. Cold Light flickered in their golden eyes and a strong aura was emitted from their bodies. Its appearance frightened Zypher and Rick. Although they were both skilled in martial arts, none of them had the ability to fight against such a huge dragon.

Dumb saw the unfriendly look on the Holy Evil's face and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xie, be good. Don't be angry. They're friends who are here to bring you food."

The Holy Evil didn't seem to hear Dumb's words and pounced on Rick. Dumb wanted to stop it, but he realized that the Holy Evil didn't seem to have any ill intentions. The Holy Evil's speed was trained by climbing the mountain with Dumb. The sudden burst of speed left Rick no time to stop it. He retreated, but found that the Holy Evil's huge mouth was already in front of him. He closed his eyes and thought to himself, "It's over. Curiosity kills. He felt the weight in his hand lighten, but he didn't feel any pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the tray in his hand had already been taken away by the dragon. The Holy Evil put the tray on the ground and lay in front of it, eating happily. In a short while, all the fish on the tray had been cleaned up except for one. The Holy Evil used its front claw to grab the dried fish, and with a light flap of its wings, it once again flew in front of Rick. Using its hind limbs to support its body, it stood up straight and winked at Rick. It stretched out its other front claw to pat Rick's head, then pointed at the dried fish in its hand. Finally, it threw the dried fish into its mouth and chewed it deliciously. The second leader of the group, Rick, was completely stunned.

West Africa watched as the dragon patted Rick's head like a child. He couldn't help but laugh. "Brother, this dragon is so smart! He's telling you that he loves dried fish and wants you to get him some more. "

Hearing West Africa's voice, Rick woke up from his daze. He looked at the Holy Evil that had returned to Dumb's side and murmured, "Wow, you scared me to death!"

Dumb said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble."

West Africa quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'll get someone to get some dried fish."

The Holy Evil ate 15 kilograms of dried fish before returning to the Blood of the Dragon God to sleep. It was very friendly to Cypher and Rick who provided it with dried fish. It even rubbed its head against them, making Cypher and Rick very happy. When the Holy Evil returned to the Blood of the Dragon God, they were very reluctant.

Dumb could be said to have conquered the entire Light Tiger Army with the appearance of the Holy Evil. Everyone respected him as a magician who could summon a dragon. West Africa ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome Dumb and the others. Dumb didn't want to accept their invitation at first, but Yan Li said that they had been framed for a long time. How could they not eat their fill? Less than two hours after the first meal, they welcomed another sumptuous feast.
