Chapter 149 - 61. The Beginning of the Dragon Queen_2
Facing the words of her tribe members, she nodded her head,
"Let’s have the tribe rest here for today. We will continue our journey early tomorrow morning, and stop only when we reach Sunset Valley... Have you contacted the Dragon-men of the West Branch Tribe and East Branch Tribe?"
The two Dragon-men exchanged a glance, both finding it difficult to speak. After a pause, one of them replied with great effort,
"They... refuse to get involved. They say humans will not go to the East and West because there are no gold mines or anything else that humans desire there..."
Upon hearing this, Rafael smiled slightly, not in anger but with a hint of mocking,
"Yes, humans won’t go now, but Rafael will get to the East and West Branch Tribe before the humans do. I will pull out the heads of those stubborn fools and show their people what they have in their brains... Go now, take rest. We will set off again in the morning."
"...Yes."
The two Dragon-men returned to the jungle, but Rafael stayed put, still gazing at the dark night sky in the distance.
Before long, a Dragon-man woman, who still looked elegant despite her plain clothes, emerged from the jungle. Her golden hair was tied back, and a golden horn grew on her forehead; yet, her overall appearance bore an air of age.
She looked at the young red Dragon-man who was planning the route, her eyes filled with concern. She stood in place, silent for a long time, as if fearful of disturbing her.
