"What?" Words spoken in alarm at what she had heard as her companion looked at her with an unceasing worried look that signifies that she to had the same thoughts at the news she had just heard.

"Well, you heard what I said, people had been claiming that they've witnessed them slaying it." A female bartender replied as she hands the tray of food to the group who wore high quality armor than could've been expensive for others.

"But that preposterous, no on can defeat a Flame Dragon that easily?!" alarmed at what she had been hearing even if it's just rumors being spread by people that had come where Alnus Hill was located.

Travelers that came from that direction had been spreading news about a strange centuar-like goliah size golem that had killed not one but five flame dragons near a forest that's full of elves.

A village which wasn't that rare to see as elves due tend to live in such place due to their connection to nature being more intoned compared to other species aside from Dryads and Spirits of Nature.

Though they are more rarer than elves... mostly due to their reclusive and isolationist nature and due to how precious they were many had attempted or tried to enslave over such rare specie.

However other are forbidden by anyone to be taken or enslave not without inciting the ire of the gods as most have learned when their greed and lust blinds their thought and common sense.

Going back to the topic she was shocked no matter how skeptical or unbelievable the words spread by those people, rumors began with something, although she finds it unbelievable to even hear it.

There were a lot ot eye witness that had seen the battle and even it's aftermath... most believe that the strange white centaur... is some sort of creation of one of the gods but no one know who it was.

It held no insignia or makings that could tell anyone which God the strange titan of a centuar who's own appearance was indescribable due to how alien the giant white centaur was with strange weapon.

Weapons that were unlike anything that they had seen before... the tales goes to say that a single shot from the centaur had killed one with a single blow... same with the first... the four had been killed.

One blow... just one blow was needed to kill these legendary dragons... not one but five, to even kill one would've bring a great amount of prestige to anyone else... but that thing didn't need prestige.

Why would it? This strange centaur was not of this world... no one would think that the Cavalier that killed those five Flame Dragons... even if they were just mere infants who were also meat-eaters.

They were still beasts driven by instinct to hunt and kill anything that walks without a care, living weapons that are used by the gods as a pawn in their entertainment to make it more exciting.

"Well believe what you want ma'am, but that's what people saw." The bartender replied as she turns around to serve the other customers in the tavern who were talking about the rumors they've been talking about... since said rumor spread.

It was the the talk of the town... not only here but other nearby towns as well and likely cities as more and more travelers continue to spread the rumor... which no doubt will reach the empire's capital.

Though whether or not people will even believe in this rumor is uncertain most of the nobility will likely scoff once they hear the news but others might if they'd notice and picked up the clues behind it.

After all, there has been rumors of some white giant centaurs that followed an army clad in white with wings made of the shining stars and crystals... an army that came from the otherside of the gate which the empire originally controlled.
