Chapter 82: Ambition (2)
Randolph's entire body trembled, and he stared directly at the phalanges in the magic box. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a scholar of the Astaire Dragon Society, Randolph's family was fairly wealthy, and he had also come into contact with many grand dukes in the imperial capital, and he had seen a lot of valuable legacies similar to ancient relics.
For example, the legendary artifact Leitin, as well as the ancient royal totem statue, and the huge bones of suspected gods. Of course, most of them are just tricks used by some nobles to obtain gimmicks, and the forgery technology is still very poor, and some nobles even use the bones of ordinary monsters as the bones of giant dragons, which makes him disheartened.
But the phalanx in front of him was different, and he could see at a glance that it was very different from the "dragon bones" and "divine bones" he had seen before.
What a great being a dragon and a god are, even if they die, the bones they leave behind must have a divine nature and be different, and now this conjecture has been best verified.
Crystal tears welled up in his eyes, for an old man who had dreamed of fairy tales since he was a child, but finally had to give it up himself, the appearance of this keel also filled the regret of his pursuit.
This is the best gift to Randolph.
"Thank you, great sir, my dream has come true."
The dragon is real, and the abolished dragon society will not be reduced to ashes in the flames of heresy and superstition, and he has witnessed the moment when the results of research shine.
This is the perfect riposte to the nobles of Astaire who support the abolition of the Dragon Society.
"Back to business, Mr. Randolph, may I ask how I should use this phalanx."
Leo had no interest in Randolph's tears and emotion, he just wanted to know how to attract the Dark Crystal Dragon.
"Oh, yes, sir."
"Well, although in various legends, dragons will come after the bones of their kind, but legends are legends after all." He paused, "I'm afraid this precious phalanx bone alone won't be enough to attract dragons, and according to the available textual sources, they only act when hunting." ”
"The hunting cycle of dragons is between 80~300 years, but unfortunately, according to the latest Dragon Shadow legend, there is only a three-month time gap."
"That is, wait another 300 years?!"
Kelsey couldn't hold her breath and stared at Randolph with an angry face, "Bad old man, don't think you've helped me—"
"Not really."
Randolph glanced at Kelsey and shook his head, "As the Society nears its abolition, our research has yielded a breakthrough - we've found the dragon's prey. ”
"The Surrey Lizard is a very common monster, and its fishy smell can drift from the edge of the Red Rock Coast to Stormwind City in the sea breeze."
"Although the predation cycle has passed, if you mix the fishy smell of the Surrey lizard with this phalanx, you may be able to attract dragons."
"Provided, of course, that the dragon actually exists on the Stormwind Coast."
Randolph described a rough outline, and Kelsey frowned, pondering the feasibility of the plan.
"Sir, it is often mentioned in the classics that dragons have a strong sense of territory, and there is rarely intersecting with each other, this phalanx is mixed with the breath of the prey, do you want to attract the dragon by provoking it?"
Lindsay pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Oh, so you're also a relic scholar...
"As you said, it has a strong sense of territory, but it rarely fights with its own kind, so I think it's worth giving it a try."
Randolph looked at Lindsay in amazement, and then said it seriously.
"It's risky, and the smell of Surrey lizards is strong, and it's likely to attract people from Stormwind when the time comes."
Lindsay shook her head and looked at Leo, who was silent.
Randolph, Kelsey, everyone in this cabin looked at Leo, as if waiting for his decision.
"Are you ready for the Surrey Lizard?"
Leo looked at Randolph's smiling expression and suddenly realized.
"Haha, it looks like your decision was—"
Randolph stroked his white beard and laughed twice.
"Mr. Leo, we might as well be more prepared, we can ask that old man for help, such as his mercenaries."
"Dragons are huge, and there are a lot of traps to lay out."
Lindsay looked at Leo worriedly and made a very constructive suggestion.
"Quentin Grote is definitely under the watchful eye of the Luna Cult now, and the people under him may not be trustworthy."
"Trust me, Lindsay, the dragon won't hurt you even a bit behind me."
Leo was stunned for a moment and responded with a smile.
Kelsey saw the shyness on Lindsay's face, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"You've helped me a lot, Kelsey." Leo turned around and looked at Kelsey calmly, "Now you can go back to Duke Dreiser's side, I won't stop you, it's okay to provide information here, I won't show mercy when we meet next time." ”
"That's my gratitude."
Hearing this, Randolph's face, who had just stood up, was covered with consternation.
"I've decided to pledge my allegiance to you."
Kelsey's face turned pale, and he knelt down through gritted teeth.
The moment was coming, and she still hadn't been able to gain Leo's trust.
"You don't have to help me." Leo frowned, "Is this also part of Duke Dreiser's plan, if so, you should die before this heart is too late." ”
"I have what I must ask for from the dragon, and no one can stop it."
His eyes were as sharp as knives, and Kelsey felt the killing intent.
"You can control me with mind magic, I won't resist."
I thought that this would definitely force Kelsey to be true, but she lowered her head and said in a trembling voice.
“・・・”
Leo's pupils shrank, and he couldn't figure out why Kelsey, as Duke Dreiser's man, would help him get to such a point?
It is said to be a conspiracy, but there is no benefit to be made at all.
Can you only force her?
Leo's eyes flickered, and he looked at Kelsey in front of him, and suddenly felt that the shot was not appropriate.
"Let her be involved, Mr. Leo."
Lindsay, who was silent, suddenly spoke up, and Leo was a little surprised when she heard her words, and Kelsey raised her head in disbelief.
"She's definitely impressed by your charm."
Lindsay said this with a smile and whispered inwardly, "Like me."
The atmosphere in the cabin fell into a deathly silence, and Randolph sat back in awkwardness, pretending not to hear anything.
"Ahem."
Leo coughed dryly twice, hiding his embarrassment, and glared at Lindsay in annoyance, but the latter was still grinning.
He had Iros probe Lindsay's condition and find no signs of psychic magic.
When did she get on such good terms with Kelsey?
"This heretic knows too much about you, and it would be good to keep her around."
In the end, it was Iros who moved Leo.
"I'll keep an eye on you."
Leo looked at Kelsey, but was surprised to find that she had a shy smile on her face.
