<h4>Chapter 87: Magford’s Decision, Abandon Bohr Vige?</h4>
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 nce 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 vige chief of Bohr vige, or the son of the vige chief of Grovka Vige?”
Magford asked.
“I’m from Bohr vige. Gran Mengka is my father.”
Molmo hurriedly introduced himself.
Gran Mengka was Molmo’s father, the chief of Bohr Vige.
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 vige?”
Molmo hurriedly shook his head.
Even though Magford was benevolent and treated Bohr Vige 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 nk 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 Bgroya 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 Bgroya 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 Be 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 thend 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 Bgroya’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 Bgroya 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 viger 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 vige.”
“After escorting Molmo, have them stationed near Bohr vige 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 Vige.
Bohr Vige 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 Vige.
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 definitelyplete 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 onest thing to tell you.”
“Should a dragon appear and threaten Bohr Vige, you are allowed to abandon Bohr Vige should you deem fit.”
Magfo hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out the decision in his heart.
“After giving up on Bohr vige, immediately head to the other viges and assist them in taking refuge.”
“The strength we possess is insignificant against a dragon. Should it actuallyy harm to Bohr Vige, we can only offer up Bohr Vige as a sacrifice, in hopes that the safety of the other viges would be spared.”
Upon hearing those words, one of the guards hurriedly stated, “Duke Magford…”
“Perhaps, we have other ways!”
