Chapter 385 Candle Keep
At first, Brian was very willing to agree to the request of the Golden Dragon Ghost.
After all, I got a follower who has lived for thousands of years for no reason, and is also an ancient golden dragon whose strength has reached the legendary realm. As long as he is not a fool, I am afraid he will happily agree.
But Brian was not dazzled by this sudden gain. The moment he calmed down, he thought of a possibility.
For example, will this ancient golden dragon take advantage of the opportunity of inhabiting the arcane fire to finally take possession of this thing that he is proud of?
Originally, he still didn't quite believe that the other party would do this, because the golden dragon was born a dragon of the lawful good alignment and would never do anything that violated his alignment.
However, the golden dragon in front of him has long lost his powerful body and is nothing more than a ghost. Who knows if he has been trapped here for nearly a thousand years, which will completely distort his character and make him become a Evil ghost.
"Huh, I knew you would think so." Looking at Brian's expression that gradually turned from joy to worry, Jin Long said angrily, and then the words he said dispelled his inner worries. Worry:
“I am just a ghost who has lost my body. Once I leave the library, I will disappear immediately. That’s why I need a special item that can inhabit my soul in order to leave this place. , and your flame is the most suitable for me.
The energy it contains can allow me to strengthen my soul, and I can help you control it more skillfully, and even gain a deeper understanding of it. Understand and help you study the secrets of how to improve it. After all, I am also a legendary spellcaster who masters the power of the law of fire.
Of course, if you are worried that I will steal your achievements and take this flame as your own, you can sign a master-servant contract with me. "
"The master-servant contract is not necessary. Brian shook his head slightly. After the other party’s explanation, the worries in his heart gradually disappeared.
Of course, this does not mean that he blindly chose to believe the words of the ancient golden dragon ghost. , but because he believes in his arcane fire
Because this arcane fire traveled with his soul into this game world, the ability to control it cannot be taken away by anyone. .
If the ghost of the ancient golden dragon chooses to live here, he can make the other party die instantly with just one thought, which is more reliable than the so-called master-servant contract.
In this case, he would naturally not sacrifice the near for the distant, or add an unnecessary insurance procedure that might create a gap between the two.
Besides, the master-servant contract is not very safe as long as it is signed. In this world dominated by gods, even if his strength reaches the legendary realm, he still has many powerful and mysterious abilities. What is known is extremely limited.
"Since your attitude is so sincere, I don't think there is any need to bother." Brian looked at the ghost floating in front of him, like a rolling cloud, and said:
" I promise you to live in my arcane fire, but you also need to promise to teach me all the knowledge you have and obey my orders. If you can do everything I ask, then someday in the future One day, if there is a chance, I don’t mind letting you go and looking for a new soul container.”
After hearing the words of this legendary spellcaster, the golden dragon Paralandusk secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The gaze he looked at Brian gradually became softer.
Although his original purpose was to use this flame to help him leave the library, this did not mean that he could sell his soul casually.
However, after he witnessed the magical essence contained in the flame, his heart moved.
At that time, he was thinking that as long as the mage was willing to let him live in this flame, even if he became the other party's follower or slave, it would be no big deal.
After all, as a giant dragon whose strength has reached the legendary realm, the knowledge he has mastered over thousands of years allows him to instantly see the mystery of this flame, and even see through several of the things contained in the flame. characteristics.
This made him immediately realize that the reason why the mortal mage in front of him was able to master magical products beyond the rules of magic was definitely because the goddess of magic Mystra opened a back door for him.
A spell caster who even trusts the goddess of magic, what reason does he have to doubt his character?
So, Paralandusk immediately made up his mind to follow this mortal mage in the name of living in the arcane fire, and understand the secrets of magic at close range.
As for whether the other party is afraid that he will take this flame as his own, it is simply because he looks down on the character of his ancient golden dragon.
This is why he wants you to sign a master-servant contract.
What Paralandusk didn’t expect was that the other party rejected the request after just a moment’s thought.
An ancient golden dragon is willing to sign a master-servant contract with him, but he still refuses to accept it. This is too disrespectful to dragons. Am I that bad?
But after thinking about it, Paralandusk was not a cheap person, insisting on signing a master-servant contract with the other party. When he understood the intentions of this mortal mage, he was obviously relieved.
Not only did the other party trust him very much, he was relieved not to sign a master-servant contract with him, but he also promised to grant him freedom in the future. This made Paralandusk, who had been trapped for nearly a thousand years, gradually identify with this master.
Originally, he planned to keep a certain distance from the other party, and then find an opportunity to escape from control after he used the power of this mysterious flame to develop a new secret method.
After all, as an ancient dragon who has lived for thousands of years, even if he signs a master-servant contract with him, he can still find a way to regain his freedom with the help of the platinum dragon god Bahamut.
This is not difficult for him.
Now, the other party has not taken this opportunity to force him. Of course, Paralandusk will not hide his secrets or hide anything from him.
Of course Brian would not think of the inner thoughts of this giant dragon.
After the two of them reached a tacit understanding and nodded in agreement, the golden dragon Paralandusk did not hesitate at all. The huge pale golden body quickly decomposed into clouds of fog, and then turned into strands of golden flames. Integrated into his arcane fire.
Immediately afterwards, Brian received a system prompt:
"Ding, the ghost of the ancient golden dragon Paralandusk has become your follower."
"Ding, your arcane fire has a new change."
…………
Seeing this, Brian's expression changed, and he immediately looked at the arcane fire suspended in mid-air.
As the arcane fire swayed gently like a candle, creating ripples in the air, Brian saw a mini golden dragon in the heart of the arcane fire, lifelike.
He immediately checked the additional attributes of the arcane fire:
1. Flame amplification: The ancient golden dragon Palalandusk was a legendary mage who mastered the power of the law of fire during his lifetime. His soul has the power to Flame has an extraordinary affinity. When using any magic containing the fire element through Arcane Fire, the effect of the spell is increased by 15%.
2. Supernatural ability: Slay Evil (1 day/3 times)
3. Nine-ring spell: Nonal Fireball (1 day/1 time)
4. Legendary spell: Dragon Flame Breath of Paralandusk (15 days/1 time)
Note: The Arcane Fire is fused with the soul of the ancient golden dragon Paralandusk. As a powerful true dragon, it has many unknown possibilities.
…………
Seeing this, Brian nodded with satisfaction. He really didn't expect to get such an effect after fusing the golden dragon's ghost.
Not only did he obtain a legendary spell that can be released every half month, but he also mastered the paladin's special skill "Destroying Evil".
This made him realize that this golden dragon was not only a legendary mage, but also a paladin of the platinum dragon god Bahamut.
Otherwise, my arcane fire would not accidentally possess these abilities as it merged with him.
When Brian took the arcane fire into his body, the thoughts of the golden dragon Paralandusk conveyed to his mind with a sense of intimacy:
"In the future, if you need any help, You can give orders through the mental link at any time. When you face enemies that you can't handle, I will give you remote spell support."
He said, "For example, the only legendary spell I have developed. "Paralandusk's Dragon Flame Breath" can be released once by accumulating energy for half a month, allowing you to experience the pleasure of our real dragon breathing out the dragon's breath, as well as my paladin's ability "Destroying Evil", And my best attack method "Nonal Fireball Technique". ”
Paralandusk's explanation made Brian curiously ask, "Why are there only so many spells? Shouldn't it be possible to release any spell that has been mastered?"
Faced with Brian's inquiry, Jinlong's thoughts were silent for a moment, and then he said helplessly:
"I would like to, but my body is gone. When releasing these spells, I can only use your body, although I was once a A legendary spell caster, but my profession is closer to that of a warlock. All spells come from blood. Now your body is my spell casting medium. How many spells can be released depends not only on the strength of my soul, but also on your physical fitness. It also plays a vital role."
Brian nodded slightly, roughly understanding what Jin Long said.
As far as he knows, an ancient golden dragon's physical attributes start at at least 30 points. With his current small body, he really cannot serve as the opponent's spellcasting medium for a long time.
"So, if you want to unlock more postures from me...oh, no, more spells, you must train your body well." Jin Long said with a smirk.
Obviously, this guy obviously said the wrong thing on purpose.
Brian was too lazy to respond to the other party's teasing. After calming down and thinking for a moment, he asked again about the crazy Oga Silla.
Although he has helped the elves of Evriska solve the difficulties and successfully freed Olga Sila, there are still a few doubts in his heart that he has not yet understood.
For example, how did the Phaylings come here, and how Ojasla was caught by the Phailings, etc.
In the face of his inquiry, Paralandusk appeared to be very patient and told him what had happened here. There was a sense of joy in his relaxed words, and he seemed to enjoy this feeling very much.
This also allowed Brian to gradually understand the ins and outs of the entire incident.
It turns out that after Ojasila found the ruins of the floating city of Glory City, she did not find a way to lift the curse as she imagined.
Because although the Myser energy core of Radiant City still retains a trace of the divine power from the sun god Amaunata, it is surrounded by a chaotic magic power.
It is impossible for Olga Sila to take advantage of this power.
When she was desperate, she relied on her only shred of reason and, like Brian, accidentally found the library guarded by the golden dragon Paralandusk.
This golden dragon, who had been trapped for nearly a thousand years and longed for freedom, deliberately told Ojasila that in order to get out of trouble one day, he must use the Felin Demon to obtain the magical power of the Mithron Core. The whirlpool of spells cast by Aoi cleared away the chaotic magic power around her.
So, Ojasila came to the Saron Forbidden Wall that sealed the Felin Demon Sunflower.
But after arriving here, Olga Sila discovered a strange phenomenon. At some point, cracks appeared in the wall that sealed the ancient monster.
Faced with this situation, she relied on her strong willpower to leave this place resolutely without being affected by the crazy curse.
Apparently, she not only gave up the idea of using the Felin Demon Sunflower to help her, but also planned to tell the tribesmen living in the Evereska Valley about this.
However, what Ojiasla didn’t expect was that when she left the Forbidden Wall of Sarun, there was an elder magic sunflower who absorbed the crazy energy she exuded due to her unexpected visit, and then this An elder Mo Kui used this as a medium to break through the Sarun Forbidden Wall at a huge cost.
At this time, Elder Mo Kui was extremely weak, so naturally he did not dare to take action immediately.
He followed Olga Sila all the way to the ruins of Shining City, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on her while she was trying to expel the chaotic magic of the Mithron Core through other magic rituals.
Elder Mo Kui’s attack not only interrupted Ojiasla’s ritual, but also successfully absorbed the cursed and crazy soul, thereby restoring his damaged strength.
An accident occurred again, and Elder Mo Kui, who thought he was done, found out in despair that after he absorbed Ojiasla's soul, the crazy curse that the other party suffered was transferred to him.
This forced him to find a way to purify this curse by absorbing the remaining divine power in the Mithron core.
But Felin Demon Kui was born as a monster of the evil camp, and the remaining divine power of the sun god Amaunata had a natural repulsion on him, so that he had to gradually transform at a slow speed.
When Brian and his team came to Glory City, they saw Elder Mo Kui who had developed a new method to absorb divine power and purify the curse in his body with the help of the mythical power of Everesca Valley.
"Then do you know whether the Temple of the Sun God Amaunata is hidden in Shining City, or whether it is Amaunata's Holy Grail." Brian asked again.
"The temple has long since been reduced to ruins with the fall of Amauna Tower. As for Amauna Tower's Holy Grail..." Jin Long pondered for a moment and said, "I do know its whereabouts, but I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to find it."< br>
“Where is it?” Brian asked calmly.
He saw traces of the Holy Grail of Amaunata in Oljasla's vision. At this moment, he could use Paralandusk's mouth to verify the authenticity of the prophecy.
“‘Earth Prophet’ Arcindo may know its whereabouts, but finding him is probably dozens of times more difficult than finding the Holy Grail of Amaunata.”
Jin Longtan He took a breath and said slowly:
"As far as I know, in the continent of Faerûn, only the books stored in Zaofao may contain some information about the 'Earth Prophet'."
