In the dark cave, Celia and Margalesia, who were running, naturally heard the roar not far away.

The voice wasn't far from them.

And the sound of the beast's footsteps on the rocks grew closer.

Margalesia stopped and tried to stop it, although she was injured, she still had second-order combat power.

However, she was grabbed by Celia and said to her.

"Margalesia, don't be in a hurry to stop it, we still have a chance!"

"Look, what is this!"

Celia's fingertips suddenly bloomed into a point of light, and then expanded.

It is the zero-level trick, [Light Technique]

The [Light Technique] suddenly illuminated the entire dim cavern, allowing Margalesia to clearly see the whole picture of the cave.

Skeletons, bones all over the place, these bones are very new, and even some of the white bones have the flesh of maggots crawling on them.

Moreover, these bones have all parts, but the only thing that is not is the skull, that is, the skull.

Not a single head could be found here.

"This is ......"

There was horror in Margalesia's eyes.

"That's right, Captain, this is its lair, we're here to the lair of the dragon lion!"

Celia added what she hadn't yet spoken.

"How so!"

Margalessia could not have imagined that the dragon lion would go against his habits and build a nest in a dark cave.

It's not so much a dragon lion as a manticore, and only that evil creature can nest in the shadows.

The dragon lion prefers warm, hot places, usually in the hills or grasslands.

"They should be guardians. ”

"Something guarding this cave"

Celia said, and pulled out a simple bronze six-pointed star seal from a pile of ornaments, which was also engraved in a language that Celia couldn't read.

This strange seal was obtained from the dead dragon lion, originally thought to be just an item they had collected, and was intended to be identified when they returned to the Free Capital.

After all, the dragon lion is said to be a magical creature related to the brass dragon, and it is normal to inherit a little collector's habit.

But now it seems that this may be the key that guards the secret door.

As a warlock, she naturally knows something about magic pets, and in her knowledge reserve, there is a lot of information about dragons and lions.

The dragon lion, which inherited the wildness of the lion, and the cunning of the brass dragon.

According to scholars, the likelihood of a hybrid birth of a brass dragon and a lion is very small.

Because not only do the two territories have no intersection, but they are as wise as brass dragons, they are not interested in ordinary lions.

They tend to prefer dragons and lions to be the product of magic, such as otherworldly hybridization experiments and spell accidents.

But brass dragon creatures that pronounce two syllables in a row can talk for a day.

It cannot be ruled out that one day, in the desert, a certain lost lioness and a brass dragon chatted happily.

It's not entirely possible that something super-friendship happened, because those scholars don't understand what cross-species happiness is.

As a neutral creep, it is possible for it to be subdued as a follower by a mage or a warrior.

But it requires leadership expertise, or charisma, like Celia.

It is precisely because of this, and because the dragon lion is a very territorial creature and has a strong hostility towards any outsider, that the dragon lion is a good keeper of treasure.

Of course, the most important thing is that it inherits one of the advantages of the brass dragon, and only needs to eat a small part of inorganic matter, that is, rocks and soil, to survive.

Although it is in their nature to eat meat, they can live by eating dirt.

Therefore, many lich or mages will place dragons and lions in their tombs and treasure caves to prevent outsiders from invading.

As for why the two dragon lions broke away from their confinement, they ran out for the hunters to see, and reported to Karandu, the capital of freedom.

That's not something Celia can guess.

But as the dragon and lion got closer and closer, and with their roars, there was not much time left for them.

But fortunately, Liz's murmuring soon came, and Celia was the first to find out that this was the lair.

I immediately sent Liz to help find it, although the pseudo-dragon is not a real dragon, but the secret door is still quite good at finding treasures.

It quickly led the two to a flat ground with no bones.

They also noticed the abrupt groove of the stone slab beneath their feet, which matched the size of the six-pointed star bronze seal in Celia's hand.

At the very moment Celia placed the seal in the groove, a huge black shadow swooped down on the two of them with a roar and a violent wind.

However, no matter how fast its claws were, it couldn't stop the circle on the soles of Celia's feet.

Almost instantly, Celia, Margalesia, Liz, and the figures of the two dragons teleported away directly on the stone slab.

Only the cave ** was left, and the dragon and lion who almost shook the stone pillar on the top of the cave roared!

------

The two women escaped, only feeling that they were spinning around on the line of life and death, and before their mood calmed down, they heard a mechanical voice in their ears.

"Hello adventurers from afar, welcome to the half-plane of the legendary brigade mage Golmodan, the city of blue"

"I'm Taling One Danriel. ”

"You've defeated the Guardians, ask me three questions, and take one item from the Mage's Tower as your reward. ”

The sudden voice made the frightened Celia and Margalesia, the two big and small girls, all a spirit.

This kind of sound doesn't sound like a human being.

At this point, they looked up and saw a humanoid construct standing in front of them.

The red light on the little head lit up one by one, and even the pseudo-dragon Liz was full of curiosity about the creature in front of her, and they all took the initiative to lie down.

"This young lady, please get down from the top of my head, so that I will be reminded of the feeling I felt when I was bald. ”

"Liz"

Celia hurriedly recalled her magic pet, in this strange place, it is better to be cautious.

After all, she was only a second-order warlock, not one of those [legendary] mages.

You can visit the succubus lord Mecanshut's territory of Shendilavel as a kiln, and the fungi lady Zugmoi's Sindakra as a botanical garden, and enter and exit the bottomless abyss like a back garden.

In a strange half-plane, she's still good at heart.

At this time, Celia had time to see the tower behind her that was thousands of feet tall through the tower spirit structure.

The Tower is the only structure in this half-plane.

Against the backdrop of this void, the tower is imprinted with the mark of a six-pointed star, which is very conspicuous.
