Chapter 351 The Dragon of Advancement (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Northland, in the Supreme Palace of Silver Moon City.
As the leader of the Alliance, Alustriel Silverhand is meeting a special ally at this moment, a friend who personally puts a legal cloak on his rule, and is also a powerful ancient golden dragon queen.
Her name is Verama Landes, the true legal owner and heir of this land.
To be precise, it was a gift given to her by another more ancient red dragon queen, Mero Garland, before she died.
At that time, Veramalandis happened to meet the Red Dragon Queen who was fatally injured and dying, and out of good intentions, she released the only spell known to be able to help her - [Pain Suppression], allowing Merlogaran to survive in Dragon Life. The last few hours were spent peacefully rather than in great pain and suffering.
In return, the red dragon not only gave away the title of queen, but also allowed the other party to inherit the towns and villages under its rule.
After hundreds of years of development, these towns and villages eventually evolved into the current Silver Moon Alliance.
Therefore, Valamalandis has the undisputed ownership and right to rule over all the land in the Silver Moon Alliance. Even Alustriel, who is the chosen one of the goddess of magic, cannot deny this.
In other words, the latter became the leader of this alliance thanks to the support of the former.
Since the two have similar ambitions and ideas, instead of fighting over power, they support and help each other.
It can even be said that if Alustriel is the promoter and founder of the Silver Moon Alliance, then Valamalandis is the secret patron saint of the Silver Moon Alliance.
It is thanks to her and her husband that another ancient silver dragon is constantly patrolling the borders of the alliance, fighting against monsters that can never be cleaned up, destroying the plots of evil organizations again and again, and ensuring that All evil dragons dare not build their nests within this area, which is why the Silver Moon Alliance has a good public security environment and a very prosperous trade.
In addition, if there are certain lords or representatives elected by the towns who want to destroy the current unity of the Silver Moon Alliance, then Verama Landis will also transform into a human form and go to investigate secretly.
In the end, either through persuasion or other coercive means, the crisis was nipped in the bud.
But today, this Golden Dragon Queen is obviously not interested in those trivial matters.
I saw her directly using magic tricks to shape a red dragon image with red flames all over its body in front of Alustriel.
And this giant dragon is still swooping down, attacking the monster army commanded by the ogre magician in the valley and cliff.
With just one breath, hundreds of goblins and orcs were reduced to ashes while wailing.
The terrifying high-temperature flames directly burned the corpse without even leaving any bones!
Not to mention corpses, even the affected ground melted into a river of magma, which looked like purgatory at first glance.
Although several ogre magicians wanted to reverse the situation through spells, unfortunately before they could get together to cast spells together, the flaming dragon in the sky suddenly opened its wings and flapped vigorously. For a moment.
The next second...
The overwhelming rain of fire instantly swept over the location of the ogre magician, even breaking through the energy protection spells on his body, and one by one he was killed alive. Burned to death, the tragic scene made even the well-informed harpist master next to him couldn't help but frown.
In just a few minutes, this army of more than 4,000 monsters was completely wiped out. No one escaped alive, leaving only a large magma pool on the ground that exuded astonishingly high temperatures.
After doing all this, the flame dragon quickly rose into the sky and disappeared above the clouds.
Without a doubt!
Although killing monsters such as goblins, orcs, gnolls, trolls, and ogres is not difficult for many adult dragons.
But the problem is that it is difficult even for an ancient dragon to kill so quickly and efficiently without letting any fish slip through the net.
In addition, the behavior of the Flame Dragon is also very puzzling.
After all, even a chaotic and evil red dragon would not massacre an entire army of monsters commanded by an ogre magician without any reason.
Usually, he kills a few leading ones to establish his power, and then forces all the remaining monsters to surrender to him and accept them as servants and minions.
After a long silence, Alustriel was the first to ask: "Are you sure he is the one we are looking for?"
Villamarandez did not think twice. nodded: "Yeah! I have talked to several other silver dragons, gold dragons and brass dragons who witnessed similar massacres with their own eyes.
They were all very sure that what they saw at that time was this one. A giant red dragon covered in incredibly hot flames
Obviously, this guy has traveled through most of Faerûn in just two days.
More than thirty evil dragons died at its hands alone, and the number of monsters was in the hundreds of thousands.
I followed him from a distance for a while, trying to figure out what his purpose was, but I found out that he was just killing without any emotion.
And he will consciously avoid cities and villages. If he encounters a metal dragon from the good camp or a gem dragon from the neutral camp by chance, he will not choose to fight. Instead, he will directly use teleportation magic to leave. .
In addition, according to my observations, the temperature of the breath used by this unknown flame dragon has far exceeded that of any known ancient red dragon, and can even evaporate steel and rocks instantly.
If he launched an attack on a city, within minutes at most, the city would be in flames, and even those hiding in stone buildings and cellars would not be able to escape. "
"Your Majesty, I have a question. What's going on with the unusual crimson flames on this red dragon? Is he a purgatory red dragon, or is he a creation of the dragon god Tiamat like the Color Prince? "An elf wearing the badge of Master Harper couldn't help but ask.
The Prince of Color, also known as the descendant of Tiamat.
Is Tia, the evil dragon god Matt used the genes of the five-color evil dragon and added his own blood to create a new type of dragon with purgatory blood.
It is said that it has two heads and its physical characteristics are a combination of the five-color dragons. , the head and upper body are gray-black with blue-green and purple highlights, and the lower body is bluish white, gradually darkening to gray on the upper body
Two of the heads can spit out dragon breath of any color, as well as another kind of jet-black hellfire, causing the purest magical energy damage.
Any color prince is an out-and-out legendary creature from the moment he reaches adulthood. Even on the battlefield of bloody battles, he is also the most terrifying killer for demons. At least one will be killed every time he attacks. Six-armed snake demon or Balor Balrog.
If it appears in the material world, it will inevitably cause a horrific catastrophe.
Fortunately, the Color Prince lives with Tiamat in Baator Hell most of the time.
It was precisely because of their past mistakes that this senior member of the Harper Alliance thought of Tiamat's conspiracy.
"No, not at all. I secretly tested the alignment, and found that he is lawful neutral, not evil."
Villamarandez gave a straightforward answer that stunned everyone present. answer.
"Lawful Neutral? A red dragon!" Alustriel's eyes widened in disbelief.
You must know that the red dragon is a typical representative of irritability, bloodthirsty, cruelty, and greed. He is a born tyrant, with an unimaginable desire for power and wealth.
What about lawful neutrality?
The most typical representatives of this camp are soldiers who absolutely obey orders, and judges who only follow procedural fairness.
Their characteristic is that they do not care about good and evil, and only recognize and obey the powerful and well-ordered ruling class.
To be honest, Alustriel really couldn't connect the two.
At least as far as she knows, there is no powerful red dragon that is willing to work for someone and obey every order given by the other person.
“I know this is outrageous, but it is a fact before us now. As the most important city in the Silver Moon Alliance, Silver Moon City must be prepared accordingly, otherwise it will be destroyed when the crisis comes. Thousands of people will die."
When saying these words, Veramalandis' tone became extremely serious and serious, completely lacking her previous confidence and arrogance.
Although she is also an ancient golden dragon and also has the title of Queen, she is actually far from the truly recognized Dragon King.
What's more, golden dragons are the most social and organized group of all dragons.
Not only will they hold regular meetings, but they will also elect a Golden Dragon King to manage the entire group.
With Veramalandis's strength and prestige, let alone the Dragon King, she is not even qualified to be a candidate. At best, she can only be around the Silver Moon Alliance.
Perhaps facing the ordinary ancient red dragon, she could still rely on her husband and Alustriel to fight off the opponent, but now after collecting the information about the flaming red dragon, all that was left was deep worry and fear.
Because Verama Landes knows very well that if it is a one-on-one duel, with the size of the opponent and the terrifying power displayed, she can be torn apart in melee combat in at most ten minutes. broken.
If the silver dragon's husband, Diszedroden, joins the battle, at best it will cause a little more damage and delay, but the result may not be much changed.
After all, although the cold breath of the silver dragon can cause double damage to the fire element and the red dragon, it will also suffer double the fire damage. Died suddenly on the spot.
Alustriel noticed the anxiety revealed in his ally's eyes and immediately comforted him: "There is no need to be so nervous.
According to the information currently available, this flaming red dragon, which does not know where it came from, has no intention of attacking villages, towns, or even the metal dragons of the good camp.
On the contrary, it helped us clean up many monster groups around us.
And haven’t you detected his camp?
I think lawful neutrality should not do anything crazy.
Maybe...
We can try to send someone to contact him. "
"Oh - I hope so. "
Villamarandez sighed slightly, her expression obviously a little frustrated.
But soon, the golden dragon seemed to remember something, and immediately braced himself and asked: " By the way, have you found out the cause of the violent earthquake that broke out in the Supreme Forest last time? "
"Well, the investigation is clear. Although the spies and adventure teams we sent out were blocked and interfered by the Zhentarim, there was definite news from Luskan that Drizzt Do'Urden had just returned from the Underdark. According to him, the huge sinkhole that appeared in the Supreme Forest should be Soth's masterpiece. ”
Alustriel quickly shared the information he had just received.
This is thanks to her good personal friendship with Drizzt and the Harper Alliance's developed intelligence network.
"Thos? The chosen one who is favored by both the goddess of poison and disease and the goddess of magic?" A trace of surprise flashed in Villamarandez's eyes.
Alustriel smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's him. At that time, he was fighting a powerful enemy who had just jumped from mortal to god, and used a terrifyingly powerful artifact."
"What? Fighting gods with a mortal body? Are you kidding me?" Verama Landas opened her mouth subconsciously.
Unlike many people who mistakenly believe that it is easy to kill a god, in fact, even the weakest quasi-god who does not even have a priesthood possesses powerful power that is beyond the reach of mortals.
They can easily create for themselves any professional level up to LV40 or even above LV50, and they also have a lot of resistance and immunity brought by divine power.
So without the help of other gods, a mortal who wants to kill gods is simply overthinking.
Perhaps there is still some hope for several legendary casters to join forces, but it is only "a little" hope. It is completely reasonable for them to be killed directly by the opponent.
You must know that even the great arcane masters in the Netheril era who had no respect for God and thought all day long about "others can replace them" have never succeeded in killing even the lowest person. Level quasi-god.
Therefore, Villamarandez felt that even if Zuo Si was the chosen one of the two goddesses, he would not be able to win against a new god.
But before she could make a conclusion, Alustriel responded in a slightly playful tone: "I'm not joking. And... the new god's chair in the Pantheon It has disappeared. I believe you should understand what this means, don't you?"
Villamarandeth suddenly became excited: "He really killed a god? No other gods came to help? ? Just by your own strength? How is this possible!"
"Believe me, this young man is ten thousand times more dangerous than you think. , the power he possesses and controls is not much worse than the divine sparks of the gods, and it will become more powerful as time goes by. The most important thing is that he has a divine impact scepter in his hand. The power is enough to severely damage or even kill an incarnation of powerful divine power."
While saying these words, Alustriel subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, feeling a moment of "sexual interest" in Zuo Si. Climbed to the extreme.
Killing a new god as a non-god is unique in the entire history of Faerûn, except for the special circumstances of the Year of Turmoil.
What's more, Zuo Si fulfilled his original promise and not only completely transformed Luskan, but also developed it into a prosperous and lively port in a short period of time, and the entire Northland is benefiting from this.
"That's it! Now I know why you are not panicking at all. With such an ally, there is no need to worry about the threat of the flaming red dragon." Vera Marandais said thoughtfully said.
"In a few days, I plan to go to Neverwinter and Luskan for diplomatic activities. Are you interested in coming together?" Alustriel suggested with a smile.
“Of course! Please be sure to take me with you. I just want to see how this human being, whom you call a natural ruler, transforms a city of pirates and crime into a vibrant city. A city-state with prosperous trade ”
Villamarandez agreed without even thinking.
In fact, as early as last year, Luskan began to abolish slavery on a large scale, and she wanted to take a look at this new neighbor.
But unfortunately, there happened to be some problems within the Silver Moon Alliance at that time, so it could only be put on hold temporarily.
"In that case, let's make an agreement. It just so happens that I also have some questions to ask him about the recent problems that have arisen in Silvermoon City."
After that, Alustriel took Wei. Ramalandis walked to her own private bathroom, planning to take a bath together to help the other person soothe their tense nerves.
However, these two people had no idea that the flaming red dragon they observed was none other than Davian, who was hunting around to improve his level.
At this moment, he had just killed an evil frost giant of about fifty people on the highest glacier in the far north, and almost the same number of winter wolf allies, standing in the ice and snow. Motionless, as if undergoing some kind of transformation.
Obviously, after more than two days of sleepless and crazy killing, the flame dragon knight's level has changed from the original LV22 to the current LV25, and he has obtained the [Advanced Dragon], which is exclusive to the ancient dragon. career.
In just a few seconds, an indescribable amount of energy spurted out of his body.
In an instant!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
After a loud noise, the scorching flames tore apart the body of Davian in the form of a giant dragon. The entire skeleton expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the original thirty-seven meters to nearly five meters. Ten meters.
The severe pain made him roar like a beast.
At the same time, the ultra-high temperature flames not only burned away the surrounding corpses, but also turned all the snow and ice that had not melted for thousands of years into white water vapor.
The temperature within a radius of more than 500 meters increased from more than 50 degrees Celsius below zero to over 300 degrees Celsius. It looked like a steamer from a distance.
And the closer to the Flame Dragon Knight, the higher the ambient temperature is.
The place where he lay at his feet even turned into a huge pool of lava.
Power!
Powerful power!
Davian Cleansing felt the burst of energy filling his body, repairing the muscles, internal organs and scales that were torn after the body exploded at an extremely fast speed.
It took about ten minutes for the entire transformation to finally come to an end.
The dark red scales on the body have now completely turned into the same bright color as the [Flame Crystal Long Sword], and show a dazzling translucence, which is so crystal clear and beautiful when wrapped in flames. asphyxia.
The two eyes have also changed from the lava balls of ordinary red dragons into ruby-like lenses, and there is a bright light spot like a small sun inside the lens.
In addition to the eyes and scales, the same is true for the claws, teeth and horns on the head.
This means that even the most common physical attacks in the future will be accompanied by very terrifying fire element energy damage.
Especially for those sturdy armors, unless they are equipped with fire resistance magic, one claw will be as easy and comfortable as a knife cutting through a cream cake, basically the same principle as the [Flame Crystal Long Sword].
This weapon has the effect of cutting iron like mud because the crystal generates a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.
In fact, the hardness and toughness of the crystal sword itself are not high. At best, it is the enchantment level + 3, which cannot be compared with specially treated and strengthened fine gold.
But it cannot withstand the high temperature released by the surface. The moment it gets close to the barrier, the outside will first melt and evaporate.
If an ordinary sword is said to be cutting iron when cutting on metal armor, then the crystal sword is cutting molten iron or vaporized iron vapor.
Its main lethality has never been cutting or puncturing, but the terrifying heat brought to the enemy by its attack actions.
You don’t need to ask to know that all these changes come from the power of the Fire Elemental Prince.
Compared to the red dragon bloodline, the elemental bloodline now clearly has the upper hand. As a follower, Davian is given many privileges that ordinary summoned creatures do not have, one of which is to view his own attribute panel.
After adapting to the changes in his body, he immediately confirmed the improvement of various basic attributes and spell-casting abilities.
[Name: Davian]
[Race: Human/Red Dragon/Fire Elemental]
[Strength: 55]
[Agility: 30]
【Physique: 43】
[Perception: 29]
[Intelligence: 28]
[Charm: 31]
[Flaming Dragon Knight: LV25]
[Advanced Dragon: LV1】
[Natural spellcasting level: LV29 (Warlock)]
...
What follows is a series of known magic and corresponding spell slots, as well as many spell-like abilities.
Although Davian himself is not an excellent spellcaster, he is closer to a courageous warrior.
But after these days of fighting and fighting, I have found some tips for using magic.
Just when he returned to his human form and was about to return to the mage tower to report the results to his master, he suddenly found a white bear stumbling towards him in the distance.
This little guy seems to have been abandoned by the female bear, or perhaps the female bear has become a meal for a more powerful predator, and was forced to become an orphan. Not only is he skinny, but he is also very weak.
The reason why it runs here is entirely because there is a huge magma pool with a relatively high temperature, which can help it maintain its constant loss of body temperature and barely survive in this cruel natural environment. a few days.
But in the end, the white bear cub will starve to death because he can't find food.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it will be eaten as a snack by other passing carnivores.
After all, places like volcanoes and lava pools that can provide warmth and heat, and places like the Supreme Glacier where temperatures are tens of degrees below zero all year round, will almost without exception trigger a series of bloody conflicts and even wars.
Whether it is a wise frost giant, frost-blooded orc, ice troll, or a beast without wisdom, they will all want to seize it as the foundation for the development and growth of their tribe.
Because hot magma can not only increase the temperature of the nearby environment, provide a good growth environment for relatively fragile young children, making them less likely to die young, but can also be used to smelt ore, forge sharp metal weapons and armor.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Davian.
He didn’t care at all who would occupy the magma pool he had inadvertently created. He walked straight in front of the white bear boy, grabbed him from the snow, and stared at the pair of revealing eyes. With brown-black eyes showing fear and pleading, he couldn't help but smile and said: "If I remember correctly, the master seems to have always liked furry things. It seems that today is your lucky day, little one."
"Woooooooooo-"
The little bear was obviously frightened and immediately let out a cry of fear.
But unfortunately, Davian obviously wasn't asking for its opinion. He put it on his shoulder and immediately activated [Advanced Teleportation] and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, one person and one bear appeared in the dragon's lair, the only designated transfer point underneath the mage tower.
Wilmes, who was recuperating, felt the energy fluctuations and subconsciously opened his eyes. He happened to see Davian carrying a white bear that was too hungry to resist. He immediately asked curiously: "What are you doing?" Is it hunting in the far north? And what’s going on with this bear? Are you trying to get a pet?”
Davian smiled and replied: "I did go hunting. But it was not the Far North, but the entire Faerûn continent. As for this little thing, I picked it up by accident. I plan to give it to the owner as a gift."
“Oh?!”
Vilmes seemed to notice something, and suddenly brought his huge head closer and sniffed gently.
Her action scared the white bear cub and fainted on the spot.
After about a second or two, the red dragon took a deep breath, widened his eyes and asked, "Did that guy Soth secretly give you extra power again?"
"Well, that's right."
Davian replied in the affirmative without thinking.
"Damn it! Why are you again? Soth is too partial!"
Vilmes began to complain angrily.
In her eyes, she is the "veteran" who has followed Zuo Si for the longest time. No matter what benefits there are, she should take the lion's share.
But what about this guy in front of me?
Obviously one step behind him, but he has transformed from an ordinary human warrior into a dragon knight more powerful than himself!
"Whenever you learn loyalty and obedience, the master will naturally give you more resources." Davian said calmly.
Vilmes rolled his eyes angrily, raised his chin arrogantly, and put on a disdainful expression: "Loyalty and obedience? Sorry! The great red dragon will never learn these. "
"Yes, let's wait and see." Davian smiled meaningfully.
He had long been accustomed to this situation, so he ignored the other party, turned around, walked through the passage and walked up the stairs. After a while, he arrived at the exclusive area for the tower owner on the top floor.
At this time, Zuo Si, who had been working non-stop for more than two days in the workroom, had just finished the work at hand. He made all forty leaves into cards in one breath, and finally used the power of sparks to instantly turn them into cards. Forty sheets merged into one.
Before he had time to examine this sub-artifact that cost at least half a million gold coins to make, he saw the Flame Dragon Knight walking in from the door.
"Master, I have fulfilled your request and raised my level to LV25." Davian put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply, taking the initiative to report.
"Well done!" Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction. "Now go have a good meal and recharge your batteries. In about thirteen hours, we will set off for Calim Port. You'd better be mentally prepared. This battle will probably be a war of attrition and protracted war. . Also, what’s up with that white bear cub on your shoulder?”
"Ah! I happened to encounter this when I was hunting in the Supreme Glacier. Without the care of its mother, it shouldn't live long in a place like that, so I just brought it back and gave it to you as a pet."
As he spoke, Davian took the unconscious White Bear off his shoulders and gently placed it on the chair.
Zuo Si took two steps forward and roughly inspected the little bear, which was probably only a month old. After confirming that it had no disabilities or fatal diseases, he immediately said with a smile: "I like this gift very much. . It just so happens that I have recently acquired the professional ability of Druid, so I will train it as an animal companion."
"Shouldn't I choose a more powerful one, such as a tyrannosaurus or a tyrannosaurus? Dire tiger or something like that?" Davian blinked in confusion.
“In the past, I would definitely choose as you said. But now, I no longer need the combat power provided by animal companions, so I might as well keep a pet. In addition, I don’t need the combat power provided by animal companions. , before this little bear establishes contact, I will first perform a series of biological and magical transformations on it.”
While explaining, Zuo Si released a first-level Druid magic [Soothing Animals] on the bear cub.
In an instant!
The little bear, who was shaking slightly as if he was having a nightmare one second, became calm the next second.
Following that, he made a few more magic berries and fed them to him.
Soon, the natural and life energy contained in the berries began to take effect, making the bear cub, which had not eaten for an unknown period of time, no longer feel hungry.
Seeing that the gift he brought back had been happily accepted by the owner, Davian quickly got up and left, planning to have a sumptuous meal first and then lie down in bed and have a good sleep.
After he walked away, Zuo Si turned the synthesized treasure card into a physical entity.
I saw a flash of silver light, and an inconspicuous-looking laurel wreath appeared in my hand.
Although a large number of top-quality gems were used to create those metal blades, they now look very ordinary and not at all jewel-like.
Just the opposite!
If it weren't for the fact that the leaves reflect silver light under sunlight, others would even mistakenly think it is made of iron.
But when Zuo Si slowly injected magical energy, the veins of all the leaves began to shine with colorful light.
When he put it on his head, his whole brain suddenly became extremely clear, and the luminous veins on the leaves quickly disappeared.
【Crown of Dharma Storage】
Secondary Artifact
Adds six points of intelligence attribute to the wearer.
Casting speed is increased by 25% (Arcane magic only).
Immune to mental retardation, confusion, deafness, silence and immobilization effects.
There are forty leaves in total, each one can be like a spell storage ring, storing up to seven spells, and releasing them when needed.
If you want to store seven spells, Above the level, for example, for eight- and nine-level magic, two leaves need to be used at the same time, for tenth level, three leaves are needed, and so on.
This spell store supports multiple metamagic tricks.
Including [Spell Power] plus [Spell Maximum Effectiveness], [Spell Power] plus [Spell Twins] and so on.
The premise is that the caster himself must master the metamagic skill and have a high enough level of spell slot to release it.
In addition, the wearer can also set the trigger conditions in advance just like the [accidental spell], and then release the corresponding spells in one go according to the set order.
This ability does not require the person to maintain concentration on casting, and is completely operated by the crown.
Up to four triggering conditions can be set, and there is no limit to the number of triggering spells.
The wearer can convert his unused spells and divine spells into pure energy, and shape them into any form according to needs, such as a shield, a weapon, or energy fireballs and arrows.
The higher the level of the converted spell, the more powerful it is.
"Yes! This is the head magic equipment I need. The materials and energy consumed are not in vain. Now, I have to think about what spells to store and how to match them to give A big surprise for Sharptooth."
Zuo Si raised his hand and gently brushed the metal leaves on his crown, with a sinister smile on his face.
You don't need to ask to know that the reason why he abandoned the technologies used in the [Erenikas Mask] and instead made a super magic storage device was completely for the Yin people.
This is just like relying on the uninterrupted instantaneous ability of spell cards to kill people in seconds, it is all based on information asymmetry.
After all, no one in Faerûn has ever made magic items and artifacts of this magnitude with automatic triggering functions.
To be precise, humans who need it cannot create it, and gods who can create it do not need it.
At least Ogma, the god of knowledge, and Midnight, the goddess of magic, definitely have this ability.
In contrast, Zuo Si fully borrowed and utilized the magical knowledge and technology from other worlds, as well as the power of the planeswalker's spark.
While he was actively preparing for war, Shane VII had already brought his men and appeared in the huge palace in Calimport.
Although the palaces during the Shane Dynasty had long been reduced to ruins by the "sharp teeth" of Ivicola Sagram, the palaces we see now were built by careerists who later succeeded in taking power. Success, but this demi-lich still found a familiar feeling.
After all, the new palace was rebuilt on the site of the past palace, and both the architectural style and decoration style have been perfectly preserved.
Especially the bronze statue standing at the entrance of the main hall, which was originally ordered to be built by his ancestor, the founder of the Shane Dynasty, the old Akaba Shane. It is a powerful statue that can cover the entire palace. The magic barrier was later strengthened by Shane II, III, and IV at great expense.
However, the ruler of Calimshan obviously does not know the true purpose of this statue, and only places it here as a decoration.
“I can’t believe that I can come back to this place one day.” Xia En VII sighed slightly.
"Master, you'd better move quickly, the patrol will pass by this place in a while." An officer wearing a Guards uniform and armor warned carefully.
But Xia En VII responded indifferently: "Don't worry, I have already released the spell, no one can notice us. For the upcoming war, I must repair the barrier in advance , Make sure that no matter what happens inside, it will not cause damage to the outside world. Otherwise, the entire Calim Port may be completely reduced to ruins during the battle."
"That's it! Repair it, I’ll be on guard duty.”
After that, the officer climbed up the wall and stood at a relatively high place to look around.
It is not difficult to tell from the flash of light in his eyes that he is not actually a pure human being, and he also has strong night vision ability.
Xia En VII closed his eyes, put his consciousness into the bronze statue, and felt the magic network buried underground in the entire palace.
Since it is a very large barrier and has not been activated for almost a thousand years, he inspected it very carefully and repaired, reinforced and strengthened the damaged parts in a timely manner.
The whole process took up to eight hours.
It wasn't until the sky started to get a little dark that he said to the nervous officer beside him: "The barrier has been repaired. Now take me to the treasure house. I want to see what happened to the guy living in the palace. "How many tributes have the teeth prepared?"
"As far as I know, the tributes in the treasure house are so large that it can scare people to death. In fact, there has been a rumor in Calim Port that there is actually no one living in the palace. Not the emperor, but the warehouse keeper of Ivicola Sagram's "Sharp Tooth". His only mission is to donate all the treasures in the warehouse when Sharp Tooth needs it."
In. When saying these words, the officer did not hide his contempt and ridicule attitude at all.
It is precisely because of this that he chose to betray his original master and instead follow the last emperor of the former Xia En Dynasty.
At least the latter fought a battle with Sharptooth with real swords and real guns. Although he lost miserably in the end, it was still a hundred times stronger than the loser he was now who didn't even dare to resist.
Upon hearing these words, Shahn VII suddenly smiled contemptuously: "Haha, that's a very fitting description. Since the collapse of the Shahn dynasty, Calimshan, Tethyr and Amn have been paying tribute to Sharptooth. These three The ruler of this country simply does not have the courage to fight against it. No matter how bad his financial situation is, he must first ensure that there is no problem with the money provided. "
As he spoke, The two of them had arrived at the entrance of the palace treasure house unknowingly.
Since the officers had already bribed the guards, they crossed the first level without any effort.
When walking through the long stairs and entering the underground, the officer suddenly stopped, pointed to the narrow tunnel in front and said: "Master, go through here and reach the door in front, which is where the treasure is stored. . But without permission, a large number of ghosts will emerge from the walls on both sides, and the mummies in the coffins will rush out to kill the intruders. "
"What a boring trick!" Seventh Generation commented nonchalantly.
He followed him and walked in without hesitation.
When we were almost halfway there, a piercing scream instantly filled the entire passage.
Before the officer could react to what was happening, a large number of green translucent ghosts exuding strong malice rushed in across the wall, trying to tear out the soul of Shane VII.
But before they could touch this powerful demilich, they heard a low, hoarse and irresistible voice.
“Kneel down!”
In an instant, whether it was the ghosts floating in mid-air or the mummies who had just emerged from the coffin, they all seemed to be controlled by some powerful force, crawling on the ground in an extremely respectful posture.
An ancient mummy who looked like a noble raised his head slightly and asked in a trembling voice: "You... are you the great His Majesty Shane VII?"
"Yes, it's me, your emperor is back."
The crown on the head of Xia En VII flashes with a black and purple light, just like the emperor of the undead, among countless ghosts and mummies Slowly walked into the treasure house with worship.
