After Zhou Chen investigated, he realized that the Holy Mountain did exist. The legendary sage who was willing to teach was also there. He seemed to have been there since hundreds of years ago.

“I don’t think we can go.”

Zhou Chen said to the tall girl.

“What you said about using the teleportation formation is not possible. I’ve asked about the teleportation formations in Red Valley City. The earthquake a few days ago destroyed many teleportation formations in many cities. Currently, we can at most teleport to a place 800 kilometers away from the Holy Mountain. A large area after that is affected by the earthquake, which can only be passed by using other means.”

After asking about the Holy Mountain, Zhou Chen became interested in that place where he could obtain legacies. If he could reach the top successfully, he would most likely obtain good things.

As for the danger along the way, Zhou Chen did not feel that it was particularly terrifying, because he had confirmed that there were indeed people who had returned alive. Those people were most likely much weaker than him when they went on this journey. Since they could succeed, he could also do it.

However, the tall girl’s idea of using the teleportation formations was not feasible. She had ignored the aftermath of the earthquake.

“Is that so…”

The girl frowned.

“If teleportation doesn’t work, we can only go by horse. But we only have about four days left. Considering that we have to rest and climb the mountain, there’s not enough time.”

“Yeah, our time is too tight. If we knew about this information as soon as we arrived, we could have rushed over.”

Zhou Chen rubbed his chin.

“I’ve already issued a high reward in the Sleeping Red Dragon Tavern. If there’s no response, let’s give up. Instead of thinking about the distant Holy Mountain, we might as well earn some gold coins and buy some good things to bring back.”

Zhou Chen’s original plan was to take on more hunting missions to earn money and buy more potions and scrolls.

“Okay.”

The tall girl nodded. Instead of pursuing the illusory Holy Mountain, it was more practical to obtain the item before their eyes.

However, to Zhou Chen’s surprise, just as they were discussing this in the room, an attendant of the Warm Forest Inn came to the door and knocked to tell him that someone from the Sleeping Red Dragon’s side had come to inform that the mission had been accepted.

“Someone accepted my mission? Don’t tell me they saw the high reward and want to fool me…”

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

But he had to take a look.

Ten minutes later, in a secret room specially used for dealing with missions in the Sleeping Red Dragon Tavern.

“It’s you!”

The person who accepted the reward was the silver-haired, golden-eyed female warrior who called herself a Dragonborn. She looked at Zhou Chen with surprise.

“Cough cough… Can you bring us to the Holy Mountain in three days?”

Zhou Chen felt surprised and awkward. He coughed twice and went straight to the point.

“Yes.”

The female warrior, Vera, who was not much shorter than Zhou Chen, nodded.

“In fact, I can bring you there in half a day. But the price would have to be 200 gold coins for each of you.”

“How will you do it?”

Zhou Chen felt that the price was not ridiculous, so he asked.

“It’s a secret for now. I can only tell you that you will fly over.”

Vera replied mysteriously.

‘This… can’t be riding her to fly over, right?’

Zhou Chen guessed.

“Alright, when can we set off?”

Zhou Chen had enough to pay this fee.

“Anytime.”

Vera replied indifferently.

“Then let’s set off tomorrow morning.”

The tall girl, who had been silent, interrupted.

“I can pool enough money by then.”

She explained.

“Sure.”

Zhou Chen nodded.

“We will set off together.”

“Alright.”

Seeing how straightforward the two of them were, Vera directly agreed.

“Come here tomorrow morning… Please pay the reward now.”

She then extended her delicate and white palm to Zhou Chen.

“…”

Zhou Chen was speechless.

“I’ll give it to you before we leave tomorrow. You’re only making verbal assurances now. I can’t confirm if the issue can be resolved.”

“Heh… You actually doubt the character of a Dragonborn?”

Vera raised her eyebrows.

“Then remember to bring enough money tomorrow. I have to do a mission now. Goodbye!”

She quickly bid farewell and left the room.

“You know this person?”

After Vera left, the tall girl asked Zhou Chen curiously.

“Not much… I saw her outside last night and even fought with her.”

“She’s very strong. She calls herself a Dragonborn.”

“What’s a Dragonborn? I wanted to ask her about it.”

The tall girl sounded curious.

“I am not sure either. I’ll check later.”

Zhou Chen did not know much about Dragonborn and only had some guesses.

“She’s a Dragonborn… Will she turn into a dragon and fly us over?”

The tall girl thought of this.

“I think so…”

Zhou Chen felt that it was most likely the case.

The two of them left the Sleeping Red Dragon Tavern. Zhou Chen did not have much to do, so he found some acquaintances and went to the library to check on the information regarding the Dragonborn.

Soon, he knew that the Dragonborn were a very special group of humans in this world. The blood of dragons flowed in their veins, and they were very powerful after their awakening. They were one of the main forces in this world to resist the evil forces.

“I thought that Dragonborn could transform into dragons, turns out I was thinking too much.”

After understanding the situation, Zhou Chen knew that he was wrong. Dragonkin were also human. They could not become dragons, and only had strength that was comparable to dragons.

While Zhou Chen was investigating, the tall girl had already gone off to earn money. Zhou Chen saw a trace of killing intent flash in her eyes and guessed that she had targeted some rich person and was preparing to do something.

Zhou Chen had no reason to interfere with this. Everyone had their own way of making money. If he had not been lucky to obtain some gold coins in the nameless cave, he would probably have used a similar method as her.

After that, Zhou Chen paid a visit to the old witch’s apothecary and the white-bearded old man’s scroll store. He planned to buy some supplies there since he would still have a surplus after deducting the travel fee from the gold coins in his hand. These gold coins could not be brought back to Planet Blue, so he had to use them all.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Zhou Chen arrived at the Sleeping Red Dragon Tavern on time and saw Vera, who was eating breakfast alone.
