Chapter 1670
The existence of dragons had always been a great controversy, as they only appeared in legends. In
Aeos, dragons symbolized power, honor, and luck, but in Benores, they were the incarnation of evil.
Stefan had done his research, and found that there were records of dragons appearing in Water City,
Srey, Cheville, Tregas, and Reka. The incident of a dragon falling was widespread in Reka, and they
even had photos as proof. It indirectly proved that dragons were real, and there were other places
where dragons had apparently resided too.
Stefan had asked around and finally came to a village called Dragos. It was located in the depths of the
mountains, and the villagers lived in groups on the cliff. They led a primitive life away from the world.
There weren’t many villagers, but they were united and quite unfriendly to visitors. All of them believed
in dragons and used dragons as their totems. The walls of their houses were full of pictures of dragons.
Stefan sent everyone except Elijah off so the villagers wouldn't chase them off. He brought along some
simple outdoor equipment and a pistol, then entered the village determinedly.
The guide was the only young man who worked outside of the village. Neil Perry had just married the
daughter of the head of the village last year and was in urgent need of money to stabilize his position in
his family. Hence, he couldn’t resist the high reward promised by Stefan even though there was a rule
in the village that the villagers couldn't bring outsiders in. He took a risk by leading Stefan and Elijah
into the village. "Mr. Hunt, the entrance of the village is right in front of US, but my village is a little...
special. All of the villagers live on the cliff, and you need to climb a very steep hill to get there. You both
should be mentally prepared..." Neil warned Stefan and Elijah. "Plus, the hill is very hard to climb. You
know Ganarial Rise, right? This hill is more dangerous than that, and there aren't any stairs to help you.
Many tourists try to climb up every year, but they fall and die on the way."
Elijah looked up but couldn't see the top of the hill. He swallowed nervously. "Are you sure the villagers
are living up there? This doesn't look like a place people can live in"
"You can go back now if you don't trust me, and I can even return the money to you. We descendants
of dragons never lie," Neil said indignantly.
"No, I don't mean that... I just think it's hard to believe. It's very inconvenient to live on top of the
mountain, but you all have been doing it for years," Elijah babbled, scared to climb the mountain. Not
only did it look impossible to climb, but he also had a fear of heights.novelbin
