Chapter 40: Treasure Hunt
The scales in Duke's hand are the prizes given after completing the system tasks.
It is systematically explained to be a lost dragon magic, but does not provide much more information.
The scales are the size of a basin, blue-gray, and have an irregular pentagonal shape.
It was covered with mysterious lines, and there was a faint aura of magic and coercion circulating.
Duke had reason to believe that the scale belonged to the legendary dragon, and had now been used to make something resembling a magic scroll.
"This ...... Is this the legendary dragon magic, or is it the rarest type of object in it?"
Duke looked at Lenia with some surprise as she let out a surprised exclamation.
He secretly thought in his heart that if this big girl didn't become a knight one day, it didn't seem like he would have to worry about making a living as a naturalist.
"Treasure hunting magic, the kind of object search magic that is rumored to record the connection between the dragon and the treasure in the shadows, this is the treasure hunter's dream!"
Joseph also reacted, turning the scale over and over again, and his eyes slowly shone with wealth.
Duke smiled reservedly, and said lightly: "It can also be said that the magic scroll that borrows the dragon's unique perception of treasures is not very precious. ”
"Can you give it to me, then?" I can take it as an heirloom.....
"Ahem!" Duke interrupted Joseph's gibberish with a heavy cough, and finally said what he was going to do, "I mean, we'll use it now while there are more people, and then we'll go find the baby." ”
Joseph laughed wryly and returned the scales to Duke, his eyes full of reluctance.
Duke automatically ignored Joseph's expression, and seeing that everyone did not object, he also stood up a little excitedly, secretly using his mental power, trying to activate the scales in his hand.
Originally, it stands to reason that it is better to do this matter secretly, after all, the wealth is not exposed.
But it seems to be a little difficult to hunt for treasure with one's own strength, and the scene of this kind of magic stimulation is not too small, and it is estimated that half of the territory can see the inspired vision.
When the subordinates come to ask, they will say it half-coveredly, which will increase the estrangement between the monarch and the minister.
And the three subordinates in front of him can be said to be the three most trustworthy people in the world.
So in the end, he decided to take it out generously and let everyone play together.
As his spiritual power continued to be injected, the blue-gray scales in his hand began to glow blue-green.
Lenia, on the side, rested her right hand on her sword, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Suddenly, the brightness of that glorious light reached its peak, so that no one present dared to look directly.
It then quickly shrunk into a ball of light, and the original scales began to crack slightly, eventually becoming completely dotted with debris.
The ball of light spun and swirled, absorbing the debris completely.
And as it continued to absorb, the ball of light continued to expand and pull, and finally turned into an illusory shadow of the image of a western dragon whose facial features could not be seen clearly.
This turquoise dragon shadow is a bit pocket-sized, and even feels a little cute.
But this pocket dragon shadow put a lot of pressure on the four people around them, making them feel a sense of powerlessness and worship in the face of low-level creatures, and they couldn't help but want to kneel on their knees.
This should be the legendary dragon power.
Duke thought to himself, using his magic to resist this natural coercion.
Lenia also used her fighting spirit, protecting Vlavic and Joseph, who did not have any strength, in the created space, so that they would not be oppressed by Long Wei.
Fortunately, the dragon power didn't last long, and the little dragon shadow opened its mouth to the sky and let out a silent howl, and then began to hover in place, looking for possible treasure spots.
Duke watched expectantly as the turquoise dragon shadow swirled around, eager to make a windfall.
But to his disappointment, the little dragon shadow only spun around a few times and then went straight to the ground as if he was tired, and then took a nap on the floor.
This......
It won't be too long to break down, right?
Looking at the movements of the little dragon shadow, the corners of Duke's mouth twitched slightly.
He didn't expect that this thing would end up napping in place, instead of leading himself to make a fortune.
He couldn't help but wonder if the system was rewarding him with a fake product.
Lenia was also a little breathless, and quietly separated a trace of vindictiveness and tried to tease the napping dragon shadow.
I don't know if her teasing is really effective, or if the little dragon shadow has already rested.
After such a stir, she became active again.
It flew back into the air, then circled the hall and soared straight through the ceiling out of the castle.
"Catch up with him!"
Duke didn't expect that this dragon shadow would be a completely spirit body, and after a while, he flew directly through the stone ceiling.
So he could only hurriedly take Lenia with a few guards, ride a fast horse and chase after it.
"My lord, he seems to have flown towards the Dark Mountains, should we still follow?"
The scout, who had cast the Eagle Eye Technique, saw that the turquoise dragon shadow had plunged headlong into the direction of the Dark Mountains and disappeared.
Duke was a little hesitant at this time.
Because the Dark Mountain Range has always been a forbidden place for humans, there have been frequent reports of accidents of demonic beasts or other ferocious beasts attacking humans.
Even the most experienced hunters would not dare to enter that realm without preparation.
"Chase!"
Duke thought for a while, but decided to chase after him, and rushed out with a clip on the horse's belly, and Lenia and the soldiers behind him hurried to follow.
He didn't do this because he was carried away by the treasure, in fact, he himself was very desperate for his life and would not take risks easily.
The main thing is that for so long since the beast tide was wiped out, the Interior Department has not received any cases of demonic beasts attacking humans.
Some brave mountain people also tried to search over there, but not only did they not receive harm, but they also harvested a lot of special products in the mountains.
It can be said that this beast tide has completely gathered all the demonic beasts and fierce beasts in a large area and rushed towards the fortress.
In the end, it was completely blown up by a firestorm from Duke, forming a demonic vacuum belt in this vast range.
It may take a long time for new Warcraft to fill this vacuum.
So after a little hesitation, he decided to take the risk and search there with his soldiers.
"My lord, it's almost there, and I see it stop over there. ”
The scout pointed Duke in the right direction again.
Not far away in the sky, a cyan dragon shadow swooped down like a harrier eagle locking onto its prey, making a dull loud noise.
Duke perked up, and his horse and his men sped up and rushed towards that side.
