Makaria cautiously probed her way ahead, and as a thief, in addition to her dexterity and skill in concealing her whereabouts, it was a thief's skill to explore this ancient structure and decipher a rare language.

However, in this place, which is a military camp, a fortress, and a supply point, there are obviously no traps lurking on the surface.

After all, there were a lot of militiamen coming and going back in those days, and they couldn't always pay attention to whether there were traps around them, and if the traps they set up killed their own people, it would not be a morale-boosting thing.

After a thrilling journey, the group soon came to a place about five hundred meters in front of the middle fortress.

The eerie atmosphere made Blue shudder a little, and the ten statues of primeval dragons in front of them were very oppressive.

As if waiting for them to come over, he immediately bared his terrible fangs and tore them apart.

Macaria couldn't help but touch her hands, turned back to Blue and said, "I always have a feeling of being watched, and I also have a sense of foreboding...... This premonition made my body respond as well. ”

With that, she pulled open her black tights slightly, allowing Blue to see the goosebumps that kept appearing on her hands.

Blue approached Macaria, then looked at the massive iron gate at the entrance to the fortress in front of her.

"Lux, you go in first!" Blue said to Captain Lust in a commanding tone.

Lux nodded and replied, "Okay." ”

She took the lead in raising her shield, drew her sword, and walked forward vigilantly.

The group looked at her nervously, and Oriana, Blue, and Krishanna were ready to attack.

Lux quickly walked in front of the dragon statue, and she looked around cautiously.

At this time, she also felt that something was looking at her, but she couldn't feel whether the other party was kind or malicious.

Just as Lux was about to pass through this dragon passage, something suddenly happened!

At the front, the statue of the golden dragon, which is about fifty meters high, suddenly moved.

"It's" eyes glowed, and then its head lowered, as if "looking" at Lux.

Soon, the golden dragon let out a mechanical voice without sorrow or joy: "The Atomen Fortress only allows the dragons and members of the dragon army to enter and exit, show your pass or evidence." ”

Blue and his party were stunned......

However, he quickly reacted, and said with a little surprise: "Stone Golem? These dragon statues turned out to be stone golems? ”

So-called golems are large constructed creatures made of clay, flesh, steel, stone, or more rare and valuable materials.

Although they are creatures, they don't have ambition or much intelligence.

Their raison d'être is to follow the instructions given to them by their creators to complete the task of attacking or defending.

Golems made of different materials and means are strong and weak, and the ten dragon statues in front of you should be delicate statues cut and carved from hard stone.

According to the methods and arrogance of the dragon clan back then, its level was at least between level 10 and level 15, and it was very likely to reach the level of the captain of the desire demon.

Ten stone golems up to level 13, and almost unaffected by spells, with an eternal spell effect that slows down all around their body, which is equivalent to a slow aura.

He is a very powerful caretaker.

When Lux heard the words of the Golden Dragon Stone Golem, he replied disdainfully: "What a pass, I don't have a pass, you stones!" ”

The Golden Dragon Stone Golem didn't feel the slightest anger at all because of Lux's words, and it couldn't be angry at all: "The Golem's duty is to ensure the safety of the Atomen Fortress, and the discipline of the Atomen Fortress must be strictly observed. ”

Lux sneered: "No, no, what are you talking nonsense." ”

Despite the disparity in size, Lux is not afraid of these stone golems, she doesn't know much about the creatures that construct them, so she doesn't know how powerful they really are.

After seeing that the other party did not take out the pass and ignored its own warning, the Golden Dragon Stone Golem automatically entered the final warning stage.

"Be careful, uncooperative behavior and aggressive behavior will lead to the Stone Golem's attack."

At this time, the other nine dragon stone golems also looked at Lux, and planned to fulfill their own defense tasks if the other party did not answer or retreated after the final warning.

Although they were a hundred meters apart, Blue and the others could still hear the words of the Golden Dragon Stone Golem clearly.

Blue looked at the stone golem in the distance, and suddenly turned to Chrisanna and said, "You wait here, I'll go and take a look." ”

"What do you want to do, Blue?"

Christana asked, confused.

And Macaria was taken aback, she had also heard of the reputation of the stone golem, and in her mind it was already difficult to face one stone golem, let alone ten at the same time.

"Look at me, if you can't do it, you have to force it."

With that, Blue flew straight forward.

As soon as he flew, he immediately changed back to the form of a blue dragon, and then let out a roar.

Flying above Lux, Blue shouted as he prepared for battle, "Guards, stop, these are my and my sister's servants." ”

Ten huge stone golems were rushing towards Lux from three directions, and their bodies began to appear with demonic patterns engraved on their bodies, and their movements were as agile as real dragons.

And after Blue broke in, their eyes glowed slightly, and they looked at the flying blue dragon together.

"Detection ......"

"Rapid Detection of ......"

"The test results, the true dragon, the species blue dragon...... Non-transformational, non-illusionary, non-magical, and undetected magic item breath. ”

"Tested."

"Welcome, warrior of the dragon, long live the Akhorsia Empire."

The last emotionless slogan didn't make Blue's blood boil, and it may be because the Akhorsia Empire didn't have much to do with him.

However, he also knew that the other party's words were not only slogans, but also secret words.

This is thanks to the memories of some of the dragons who survived the battle.

"The Akhorsia Empire shines forever."

Brother, the Akhorsia Empire has been cold for a long, long time.

Complaining in his heart, Blue still said the secret words of customs clearance.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, the dragon stone golem returned to its position, and continued to strike or hunt or stand in the same posture as before.

"Please be careful not to touch the ...... of contraband"

After that, they stopped talking.

Blue noticed that these guys hadn't changed in the slightest from where they had been before, and they were terrifyingly accurate.

After the silence was restored, the appearance of the stone golem was no different from that of a normal stone statue.

And as the stone golem's words fell, the huge iron door of the fortress also opened outward, probably because it had not been opened for too long, so it made a little unsmooth creaking and rubbing sound.

Blue shouted to the stunned Macaria and the others, telling them to hurry up.

Surprised, Macaria walked up to Blue's side and asked, "Have you been here a long time ago?" ”

"If I've been here, I wouldn't have to ask that vampire to lead the way."

"Then how do you know these stone golems will let us go?" In order to prepare for the battle, Krisanna also turned into a blue dragon and flew over, and she asked as she slowly flapped her wings.

Orianna also joined in the crowd and asked, "And, listening to the last sentence you said, you even know the secret words between them." ”

After Oriana finished speaking, everyone looked at Blue with strange eyes.

“…… What's so strange about this, this is the remains of the dragon family, and Krishanna and I are blue dragons, and we have a dragon heritage, of course, we know a little bit about it. And before I set out, I had researched many ancient books, so I happened to know some of the information here. As for the passage, you actually heard it just now, as long as it is a real dragon, in fact, you can enter it without saying that secret phrase for customs clearance, but it can't take you further. ”

Krisanna coldly dismantled the stage and said, "I don't know that the inheritance of the dragon clan will inherit the secret language of a relic thousands of years ago. ”

Without hesitation, Blue stepped on: "That's because you're stupid!" ”

Krishanna suddenly took a few quick steps like a fried cat, and her huge figure wanted to pounce on Blue.

Blue pushed her away: "Don't make a fuss, didn't you hear those guys say, there are many things that are forbidden to be touched here, do you want to try how powerful the empire was thousands of years ago?" Maybe the next time it comes out, it'll be the Iron Golem, and when the time comes, I'll chop you in two, and I'm not going to help you find the priest to resurrect. ”

"What do you say! Am I afraid of the Iron Golem? Krishanna's face showed an angry look and she yelled impulsively.

But soon she hung her head and pretended nothing had happened.

The Iron Golem is much more difficult to manufacture than the Flesh Golem and the Stone Golem, and the difference between the two in terms of cost and strength is cloudy and muddy.

The Stone Golem is level 10, while the Iron Golem is level 16.

In this world, the rating of monsters other than humanoids such as non-humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings, if there is a difference of one level, is not a simple +1, but an absolute crushing in strength, and fighting minutes is the result of high-level seckill and low-level.

Now Krishanna touches the Iron Golem, and it really can't even break the skin of the other party.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel between the two adults, when you finish the mission and go back to Schars City, you can have another good fight." Oriana touched her wand and took out the Book of Shadows and spoke.

Makaria also smeared her dagger with venom as she said, "This is a fortress built by metal dragons, and we are not welcome guests, so be careful." ”

After entering the fortress, the first thing everyone saw was a square hall.

Even after thousands of years, the five spherical lighting props on the ceiling of this hall still emit a soft light.

In each of the four corners of the hall was a two-person tall stone statue, and everyone speculated that these four stone statues were probably the same stone golems as the dragon stone statues outside.

With so many stone golems found in just a short distance, it's hard to imagine how rich and powerful the empire was thousands of years ago.

However, in this hall, Blue and his party faced a problem.

At the front of the hall, there is a doorway that leads to the underground in dragon language, a doorway to the upper floor, and a doorway to the first floor of the fortress.

The three doorways were large enough for an adult dragon to walk on all fours, apparently in consideration of the dragon's need to get in and out.

Macaria stood still in front, then spread her hands helplessly and said, "Okay, now it's time to do multiple-choice questions again, do you go down or up or go inside when you get to the ground?" ”

Everyone unconsciously cast their eyes on Blue.

Blue pursed his lips and said in a rough voice: "Don't look at me like that, I'm not a magical conch, how do I know that the path is the right one...... Maybe every path is wrong, and this ruin simply doesn't have what we're looking for. ”

"There's no way around it, I'll have to use my magical oak staff to solve the problem." Orianna grinned and shook her staff.

Lux looked at Oriana's oak staff with curious eyes and asked, "Does Lord Oriana's staff have a prophecy spell?" ”

Macaria sighed, then hammered her fist on Oriana's head before explaining to Lux, "Ignore her, she meant to throw the staff into the sky and drop it to guide where to go." ”

Lux: "...... True...... What an imaginative approach. ”

Christana was very crisp and walked straight towards the entrance to the underground.

Seeing this, Blue also smiled and followed, and he said as he walked: "As a blue dragon who likes to dig holes, of course he goes underground first. ”

“……”

Macaria was also accustomed to Blue's undenied or self-mocking words from time to time, and she took Oriana's hand and walked after the blue dragon.

Oriana glanced at Macaria and asked in a low voice, "Sister, really don't need to analyze, just rely on luck to find it?" ”

"Nothing to analyze, Oriana." Macaria smiled and whispered back, "Don't you see, we've far outpaced the others. The level of the stone golem in this ruin can make the later people have nothing to do...... I think that under normal circumstances, Bahamut should have intended to release information about the ruins step by step, and gradually guide the 'heroes' over. ”

"It's just that he probably didn't expect that we were so lucky to find a vampire as a guide so quickly in this fog, and then find the location of these ruins. And it also happens to have the presence of a real dragon, which has passed the stone golem guard. ”

After hearing this, Oriana finally came to her senses, and she wondered how she had only met a few adventurers along the way, and no one wanted to complete the mission that Bahamut had personally ordered.

Now that Macaria said this, she realized that it was not those adventurers, magnates, and kingdoms who did not want to, but the progress of her own group, which was too fast.
