Chapter 141 Dragon Worship Cult


Chapter 141 Dragon Worship

Eno Oak Desert, Scimitar Peak Mountains.

There are no low hills, valleys or any vegetation here. Black jagged stone blades stand unevenly on the sand.

A group of black rocky peaks like curved horns separate the ‘Thirsty Sandbank’ from the stony wasteland known as ‘Eta’s Realm’.

In a dark skull gap canyon in the Scimitar Peak Mountains.

A tall and upright figure appeared, wearing a dark purple robe and a dark red mask shaped like a horned skull.

In this very eerie canyon, he moved forward leisurely as if taking a leisurely stroll.

At this moment, a deep and deep voice came from behind him along his ears, and his steady breath blew a cold, rancid smell.

"Think about what you are going to say before you speak, human. My interest in you will not fill my stomach for the time being."

The man wearing the skull mask is calm and calm. Turn around slowly.

Through the gap in the mask, he saw an ominous shadow shrouding him. The hazy appearance of the shadow was translucent scales and a black body.

This is a shadow dragon that has reached the ancient dragon stage.

He used the power of the mask to see through the shadow's identity.

The shadow dragon is a giant dragon transformed from a true dragon. When they are born in the shadow plane or stay in this plane for a few years, they can pass the baptism ceremony of 'Reshape in the Shadow' , complete the conversion.

The process of transformation into a shadow dragon takes several years, during which time the true dragon's scales gradually lose their luster until they eventually turn a black charcoal hue.

He saw the shadow dragon's smoky fist-sized eyes like awls, staring straight at him. The lizard-like head with shiny scales was about the size of a caravan, and its teeth were as long and wide as a caravan. The broad sword spewed out large clouds of moisture with every breath.

Under the shadow dragon's head is a cobra-like neck that stretches into the stone forest.

In the forest of stone shadows, he could only distinguish a huge and sturdy body. The huge wings each shielded one side of the open space. The powerful shoulders and forelimbs were closed with dagger-sharp dragon claws. The transparent dark gray scales are as big as a kite shield.

"Powerful Shadow Dragon, I ask for your kindness and help. To express my gratitude, I would like to offer you a small gift." Facing the Shadow Dragon, his tentative voice was very steady.

"I have seen those boring gems of yours a long time ago, little human. After solving the problem, I can take whatever I want."

The shadow dragon's head rushed in front of him and took a deep sniff. The dragon's teeth were only an arm's length away from his body.

The masked figure is still motionless, but he has begun to recite the magic incantation in his mind to find out the truth.

"Is this the way you treat guests in Ghost City, Haji Horna?" Then, he stared at the Shadow Dragon through the gap in the mask and said unhurriedly.

After his intention was seen through, the shadow dragon glared at him, sprayed out two black smoke-like shadows from his nostrils, and retracted his bluffing posture.

“Bah bang bang!.”

There was a burst of applause, and Hajhorna, who was wearing an exquisite black robe, stood on the translucent dragon wings, looked down at the man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Dragon Whisperer Severin Siraine, he is worthy of being a worshiper of the dragon. The new leader of the sect actually dares to come here to find me alone!"

Severin looked at Hadjhorna indifferently and said slowly: "I'm here to take away the items you promised me! "

"Of course there is no problem."

Hajhorna took out an old book with a black cover from the hidden pocket of his robe, "What is recorded in this book is the ancient elves. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise to the mysterious knowledge of the Empire of Erlan.”

“A dragon lich, plus a mature black dragon in the swamp of the distant sea and his army of lizardmen.” Severin pondered for a moment. , said to him, "This is enough to help you capture a small town of Mokou."

"You know what I really need." Hearing this, Haji Horner's warm smile suddenly turned cold.

“Of course I know, but it’s not worth my while here.”

Severin shook his head disdainfully, and the horned skull mask swayed on the ground, creating a ferocious shadow. The shadow dragon raised its head proudly and shrank its eyes in fright, and quickly looked away from the mask.

“After all, I have more important things to do.”

After he finished speaking in a deep voice, he looked to the east involuntarily, and Serge’s red robe appeared in his mind. Coven.

"A small place makes you so cautious." Severin looked at Hajhorna again and said in a slightly mocking tone, "This makes me have to question whether the cooperation between us is a fair transaction."

“In fact, I am very skeptical.”

Hajihorna snorted coldly, fell off the back of the shadow dragon, waved his hand to signal the dragon to leave, and then Throwing the book to the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult, he said in a tone full of suspicion, "I hope they won't let me down."

Occupying Mokou Town was just a convenient thing for him, his real goal was The duchess of Arabe.

He had long known that there were three Nese scrolls stored in the mage tower in Arabe City, and he also learned from the information possessed by the Zhentarim that this mage tower, which had been passed down for thousands of years, actually came from Luohu Desert.

The Luohu Desert was historically the core area of ​​the mechanical empire Imasca.

Although the empire was destroyed in the war during the battle with the gods of Unther and the gods of Mulhorand, causing all the survivors at that time to migrate westward, there are rumors that there are treasures buried deep in the desert. A large number of ruins of the Imaskar Empire.

He believes that there is likely to be some history about Imasca hidden in this mage tower.

Now, the old bastard Prince Desude, the ghost prince who is responsible for attacking the Kingdom of Cormyr together with him, chooses to stay on the sidelines, which makes him not completely sure of breaking into the wizard tower in Arabe City.

So, when he discovered the importance attached by the Church of the God of Knowledge and the Church of the Mother Goddess to Mokou Town, as well as the stationed war mages and purple dragon knights, he immediately realized that he might be able to The method of invading Mokou Town was to lure out the duchess who lived in a high tower.

Although it was a pity that he didn't have the help of the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult, but after receiving the support of a dragon lich and a mature black dragon, he realized that even if he didn't need to take action, he would still have full confidence in taking over Mokou Town.

In this way, he can preserve his strength, sit back and wait for the opportunity for the duchess of Arabe City to leave the tower to support Mokou Town, capture it, and move his army southward to occupy Arabe City.

At this point, the entire northern territory of the Kingdom of Cormyr fell into his hands.

Taking the book thrown by Hajhorna, the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult suppressed his inner excitement and calmed down.

He has long known that the Arcanists of Netherese descendants in Shade City possess some mysterious knowledge about the ancient Elf Empire.

After all, before the Netheril Empire discovered the Netherese Scrolls, it was the elves of the Erlan Empire who opened the path to arcane arts training for Netheril students.

As long as he possesses the Mystic Lock information about the ancient Elf Empire, the stagnant research progress of Dragon Madness Mystic Lock will rapidly improve.

The predecessor of the Dragon Worship Cult is the Dragon Witch Cult. For a long time, it has been focusing on creating undead dragons to fulfill prophecies.

But things are different now. As the leader, Severin believes that the real dragon consciousness and power should belong to living dragons, not undead aliens.

It was his ambition that aroused the interest of Tiamat, the five-color dragon queen who lived in the Baator Hell, and gave him powerful power to guide him in the way to rule the world. Therefore, studying the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock is just the first step in the Dragon Queen's return plan.

"I won't let you down. I hope this war is the beginning of our good cooperation and friendship." Severin put the books away with satisfaction, smiled at Hajhorna, and turned to leave. .

Hajhorna watched the departing figure of the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult and sneered. Just as he was about to leave, a cold magic dagger appeared out of thin air and stabbed him in the heart.

He seemed to have expected this situation. He didn't even raise his head. He just waved his hand and the enchanted dagger stopped in mid-air.

At the same time, the dark shadow twisted, and the assassin's motionless figure emerged.

"Is he a ghost? Are you too young to be an assassin?" Haji Horner looked at the assassin who was dressed in black and his eyes were glowing red. He sneered and joked: "It doesn't matter, age is not a problem. What's important is Yes, you want to kill me, right?"

He looked directly into the assassin's eyes, "How do you think I should solve this matter?"

The assassin glared at him fiercely, He wanted to spit at him to show his insult and contempt for him, but he couldn't open his mouth and his tongue didn't move.

"What do you think, did the eldest prince or the third prince send you here?" Hajhorna asked, "It seems you don't want to answer me?"

He waved his hand and He took off the hanging magic dagger, inspected it carefully, and commented secretly:

"This is really a good and deadly dagger, but I don't really like using this kind of toy. For assassins who impress me, I keep their weapons as souvenirs, but I usually don't use them. Because with weapons It will splatter blood and other dirty things, but magic is much cleaner."

He took out an ebony staff, walked to the assassin, and added: "Also, the effectiveness and fun of magic punishment. It's also much more sexual. Think about it, if I simply poked a few holes in you with your little dagger, of course it would hurt, but in the blink of an eye you would be dead and the pain you felt would stop. And use magic"

He shook his staff, "I can trap you in this crystal, and you will slowly die inside, being sucked dry by the shadow inside, and your skin and flesh will be torn apart"< br>
He smiled kindly at the assassin, who still could not move an inch.

“The most interesting part is that even if you die, your punishment will not end. Your will will survive in the form of a shadow, and you will suffer eternity as an ethereal creature. , you can no longer touch the physical world around you. Sounds scary, right?”

There was a flash of fear in the assassin's scarlet eyes, and his throat growled. He tried his best, but still couldn't move even a finger.

"Yes, I'm sure you think so. Imprisonment is much worse than death."

Hajhorna paced back and forth beside the assassin.

"Although I say it lightly, I advise you not to treat your imprisonment in the staff as a trivial matter."

The assassin continued to struggle, and now he can move his toes and bite them Teeth, which gave him some hope.

"It took me several years to make this staff perfect." Hajhorna said, "Yes, the effect of the imprisonment spell is very simple. You will be just like now, staring but unable to do anything. . ”

He continued to walk around the assassin.

"No, the difference is that you transformed from a human body into a non-physical form. This may sound a bit ridiculous at first, but it is not impossible."

The assassin can feel Warmth spread along his arms and chest, and he was able to move a little.

Hajhorna looked at the staff reverently.

"This little thing is the fruit of half my life's research, you know." He was talking to himself rather than talking to the assassin. "I have lived a long time. For me, as we grow older, things change." Getting smaller and smaller."

He chuckled: "I guess this is what people call improvement."

The assassin is almost regaining control of his body. Had Hajhorna's self-pleasure lasted just a few more minutes, he would have escaped the spell.

This way he will die happily in the process of escaping instead of sticking here like an imbecile.

“Let’s stop chatting and get down to business.”

Hajhorna turned his mind back to the assassin, held his staff flat towards him, and rubbed his thumb back and forth on the handle.

“I think before I deal with you, I should ask who is the person who ordered you to assassinate me. I don’t think you came here on your own. After all, you are still a little young to do this. "

The young assassin stared closely at Hajhorna's staff, looking at the traces of black energy leaking from the dents formed by friction on it.

His face was pale and he was sweating profusely, as if he had seen the most terrifying scene in his life.

Suddenly, a terrible scene appeared.

The assassin's mouth opened like a maw of the abyss, full of fangs, and hissed and roared:

"Enook Desert was once ours. Hiss, hiss. Listen! Humans, the real masters of the desert, have returned. The hissing shadows, the ghosts, the dark wizards, the arcane masters, and the city of ghosts must all die!"

With hissing sounds, the assassin transformed into a ridiculous-looking, trumpet-shaped creature! A huge object with sharp claws and arms on both sides of its body covered in spikes.

It kept wagging its stinging tail and hissed to Hadjhorna: "In the desert where we are, hiss. We are back, hiss even if you are hiding. The cowards are back, and they can’t stop us. Hiss”

Phayling Demon Sunflower!

The culprit who once destroyed the Arcane Empire.

Facing this monster, Hajhorna suppressed the shock in his heart, held the staff tightly without hesitation, pointed the crystal end at it, and immediately shouted: "Shadomi Niarupa ·Lekitz!”

The staff sprayed a dark gray ray directly at the monster in front of him.

Just when the ray was about to touch the body of the aberration, the rays radiated and formed an arc, forming a dark whirlwind around the aberration.

The gray area isolates it, caged into a human shape.

The shadow has a pointed head and a spindle-shaped deformed body, and the speed of their rotation around the aberration continues to increase.

The aberration struggled wildly, helpless in fear.

The shadow launched an offensive, penetrated into the body of the aberration, and violently tore its flesh with sharp claws formed out of thin air.

"Everyone...hiss...must die!...hiss hiss, the desert is ours!...hiss hiss...hiss..."

The monster issued He cried out in extreme pain, but not a drop of blood flowed from his body.

Instead, it fell slowly to the ground with a dull thud like a sack of horse manure.

The dark scene disappeared in an instant, and Hajhorna put away his staff with a gloomy expression, activated the teleportation spell and left.

The Felin Demon Kui appears. He must take over the Kingdom of Cormyr as soon as possible to leave a way out for himself.
