Chapter 790 Journey to the End Mountains to Find the White Dragon
"Based on the tests we just conducted, setting aside factors related to duty and technology, it seems that weapons with higher priority can inflict more damage on the life force of the Kigas Sida. This idea is correct."

However, the key issue is that weapons with lower priority than Kirsceda will also cause a significant amount of Destiny consumption when attacking or slashing it.

The Dragonbone Axe, at around level 15, is already quite high in priority.

After all, the level 20 priority longsword I possess was a fine sword forged by the town's blacksmith using many years of my father's savings.

In a world set in medieval Western times, iron products have always been expensive, not to mention weapons.

In remote villages like Lulit, every household's farming tools are a valuable asset.

If Seiya hadn't been adopted by the village chief, who had some savings, and if Seiya hadn't been the village's hope and genius, he probably wouldn't have been able to acquire this fine steel longsword.

The idea of ​​using a weapon with higher priority than the Dragonbone Axe to chop down trees is feasible.

However, it is too difficult to achieve, unless they are extremely wealthy, they simply cannot afford the cost of cutting down Gigas Cidar.

The village wanted to cut down Kijas Sida because it was too poor.

If they were that rich, they wouldn't be cutting down trees here, so it's a vicious cycle.

"The village may not have any powerful weapons, but what about the End Mountains?"

Isn't there a legend in the village? At the end of the End Mountains, there lives a giant white dragon guarding a vast treasure. One day, a powerful swordsman went to slay the white dragon…

Seiya and the others also knew the story Kirito told, after all, it was a legend passed down through generations in Rulit Village.

The adults in the village often told them this story when they were young.

"But aren't those stories made up by adults...?"

Eugeo was actually quite fascinated by the legendary white dragon and the dragon-slaying swordsman, but that was fine when they were kids, now that they're old enough to understand.

The legendary stories can't stand up to scrutiny at all. The older they get, the more they realize that the so-called dragon-slaying heroes are probably just fooling children.

According to the adults, the strongest swordsman named "Belcouli" was their ancestor from Lulit Village, and he even performed the feat of slaying a dragon.

So why is their village still so poor when such an outstanding person came from there?

Bercouli slew the dragon, so he must have obtained the treasure guarded by the white dragon, right?
Or, if Bercouli is so powerful that he can slay dragons, then cutting down the demon tree of Kylscedar should be a piece of cake, right? Why did it take their village hundreds of years to cut it down?
"Legends originate from life. While we cannot believe them entirely, they are not necessarily entirely false either."

Perhaps Bercouli didn't succeed in slaying the dragon, but instead perished together with the white dragon, or was even killed?
Since the End Mountain Range has a legend of a white dragon, it shouldn't be entirely unfounded.

Seiya held a different view on the legend of the white dragon. He believed that the fact that Bercouli's name and the story of the white dragon could be passed down from generation to generation meant that there must have been related people and events in history.

"Isn't it easy to tell if the legend is true or false? We can just go explore the End Mountains."

If Bercouli had truly defeated the White Dragon and hadn't taken the treasure down the mountain, he would surely have left behind some powerful weapon.

"If we can find some powerful weapons, wouldn't we be able to defeat Gigas Cida as soon as possible?"

Both Seiya and Eugeo were quite tempted by Kirito's suggestion.

Seiya was curious about the truth of the legend and quite interested in the so-called treasure, believing that bringing back some treasure would be enough to change the impoverished Rulito Village. As for Eugeo, although he was somewhat afraid, escaping his duty as an "Engraver" was also his dream, so after Kirito's persuasion, he quickly agreed.

"But the adults in the village forbid us from going to the other side of the mountain range..."

Although Alice appears well-behaved and cute, and is somewhat shy, she also has an adventurous nature.

Clearly, she was quite interested in the group's suggestion.

However, she is hesitant because she is mindful of her elders' teachings and instructions.

"The adults in the village forbid us from going to the End Mountains, is it just because it's near the Dark Realm?"

As long as we don't cross the line, there shouldn't be a problem, right? We'll only go as far as the End Mountain Range, and as long as no one tells anyone, no one will know.

Alice, who was already somewhat tempted, was eventually persuaded by Seiya and the others to join them in their evil deeds.

The next day, after agreeing on a time, the four of them skipped their respective jobs and headed to the Termination Mountains as a team.

The journey was arduous, but the calm and peaceful weather helped the four people relax considerably.

After all, in the adults' various descriptions, the End Mountain Range had become a forbidden area, and the group was initially worried about what dangers they might encounter.

"There's a cave here, shall we go in and take a look?"

After entering the Terminus Mountains, as Seiya and his companions ventured deeper, they soon found a cave.

Looking at the cave in front of them, the group's opinions diverged once again.

Alice and Eugeo believe that they have come far enough, and perhaps the legend of the white dragon is just a fabricated story.

There are too many possible factors in the unknown cave, and it would be bad if we actually encountered some kind of monster.

However, compared to the conservative and timid Alice and Eugeo, Seiya and Kirito's ideas were much more radical.

They believe that the legendary dragons originally lived in caves.

The discovery of the unknown cave further proves that the legend may be true.

And they've come all this way, it would be such a waste to turn back now.

Regardless of whether the so-called White Dragon actually exists, they still want to see it with their own eyes, right?
The persistent Seiya and Kirito even suggested that if Alice and Eugeo were worried, they could go back first or wait for them outside the cave.

Anyway, whether or not there's a white dragon, they'll be back soon.

However, Alice could not let her younger brother Seiya go on an adventure, so after hesitating for a moment, she could only follow Seiya and Kirito into the cave.

What could Eugeo say after seeing Seiya and the other two make their decision?
They can't all come together, and he's the only one going back, can he?
Besides, Alice is watching him right now. Even if he's a little worried and scared, he can't lose face in front of the goddess!
So the four friends finally reached a consensus and decided to explore the cave further. However, Seiya also made a three-point agreement with Alice: regardless of whether there was a white dragon in the cave, they had to go back after exploring the cave and could not go any further.
