Chapter 40 - Change

  Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed. 

In these three years, many things had happened. 

The human kingdom, the Kingdom of Herlock, had been on the hunt for Philomena. However, because they had been unsuccessful in finding her, the reputation of the kingdom had been tarnished. 

After calming the citizens' emotions, in order to restore their faith in the royal family, King Herlock immediately placed a bounty on the head of the dragon that kidnapped his daughter! 

If someone could defeat and kill the dragon, and save the Princess, the royal family of Kingdom of Herlock was willing to reward them with 100,000 gold coins, a set of Silver-tier equipment, and the title of Marquis! 

This bounty immediately attracted the attention of countless adventurers and even individual Dragon Slayers. 

100,000 gold coins?! Just one gold coin was equivalent to 10 silver coins and 1,000 copper coins! 

And just 10 copper coins was enough to let an ordinary family live peacefully for a month! 

100,000 gold coins was simply an astronomical figure to an ordinary person! 

Moreover, the entire set of Silver-tier equipment made adventurers even more crazy! 

Finally, the title of Marquis that was also promised, was what that truly attracted the Dragon Slayers. 

As everyone knew, the Dragon Slayer was a class cursed by the dragons. 

Whenever they entered the vicinity of dragons, they would be besieged by them. 

After all, they represented the shame and failure of dragons! 

Among humans, the Dragon Slayer was a class that ordinary people respected greatly. After all, they were a class that could kill dragons! 

Almost all the ordinary people knew of Dragon Slayers. 

But no one really knew a Dragon Slayer personally. 

Thus, the Dragon Slayers were a very mysterious class of people in the eyes of the public. 

But what everyone didn't know was that, since the Dragon Slayer was cursed by the dragon, they also couldn't appear in front of the public. 

Usually, they would form a partnership with their best friends and relatives in order to earn a living. 

And this time, the bounty from Herlock was for the title of Marquis of Kingdom of Herlock! 

As a Marquis of Kingdom of Herlock, they would have an estate. 

The estate of a Marquis was not small and thus, it was simply the best hiding place for a Dragon Slayer. 

This was precisely what attracted the Dragon Slayers the most. 

After all, the Kingdom of Herlock was not a particularly large country, but as a country that was close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, its strength could not be underestimated. 

It was precisely because of this that not long after the bounty was issued, countless adventurers as well as some Dragon Slayers stepped into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. One after another, they went deep into the depths as they searched for Philomena. 

Of course, other than those who had the strength, there were also some bold people who were hoping to get lucky. 

'What if they ran into the princess who escaped by herself?' 

One had to know that although they had not defeated the dragon, saving the princess was the most important thing. 

Even if they could not obtain the title of Marquis, it would still be possible to obtain 100,000 gold coins, or even that entire set of silver equipment! 

It was precisely because of this that countless people charged into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 

Three years later, people were still charging in, looking for the princess. 

During these three years, under the guidance of the Kingdom of Herlock, countless adventurers charged into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 

Under the guidance of the great tide, the adventurers of the Kingdom of Herlock came to the middle of the Magical Beast Mountain Range for the first time in history! 

In there, Gold-tier Magical Beasts were everywhere, and even Silver-tier Magical Beasts were crawling all over the ground! 

This was a hellish place for the adventurers of the Kingdom of Herlock. 

In just three years, countless adventurers had died here! 

But even so, there were still people who went there, but alas, no one could go past the middle! 

It was impossible to blame the adventurers. After all, the Kingdom of Herlock was only a very small country. 

And with the death of so many adventurers in the Kingdom of Herlock, the Herlock Royal Family had no choice. 

They suspended the bounty on the dragon. 

On the other side, In the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Prescott had caused a ruckus in the Great Basin because of Sade. 

For a time, almost all the Magical Beasts in the Great Basin knew about what had happened. 

It had turned out that Prescott had been kidnapping female Magical Beasts to feed Sade their breast milk. 

However, the Steel Gorilla had come to an agreement with her to stop the kidnappings. 

Thus, the Steel Gorilla, became the king of the Beast Kings in the Great Basin! 

As the king, it was also the intermediary between Prescott and the rest of the Magical Beasts. 

Because Prescott needed to raise Sade, she thought that knowing too many beasts would not be conducive to Sade's growth. 

Because of this, Prescott rarely had reason to find trouble with the Steel Gorilla and the other kings of Magical Beasts for the past three years. 

Instead, she began to head deeper into the Great Basin. 

Now, after three years, Sade was more than three years old. 

During these three years, Prescott and Philomena had been teaching Sade to learn the common language and the Draconian language of the continent. 

After all, language was very important to humans and it could even be used for magic and communication. 

During these three years, Sade had performed extremely well. 

He had finished learning the common language of the continent, and he had made big improvements in learning the Draconian language. 

However, Sade felt that his pace was too slow. 

Alas, it couldn't be helped. After all, the Draconian language was too difficult. 

Even with the insane talent of the Celestial race, Sade felt that it would take at least another year to finish learning the language. 

Today was Sade's birthday.
