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.

No, I can't!" Elijah refused. "You've
driven away so many people, Mr.

leave. Don't worry, I... I'm no longer

afraid of heights. I can do it!" While

The entrance of the village was a
hole that was one meter high and
one meter wide; it was not easy to
