Chapter 348: Clockwork City
The emerald dragon is also called a dream dragon or an elven dragon.
Although the name has the word dragon in it, in fact, this guy has no dragon blood at all, and is an out-and-out magical creature.
At the same time, they are also one of the few creatures that humans have confirmed to be able to live or move in dreams.
According to research, when the dragon hatches from the egg, they will be expelled from the dream of their birth by their parents (probably just one of them, and humans are still unable to distinguish the sex of this creature well), and begin to wander between the real world and the human spirit world until they find the dream they want to settle in.
There are two folk beliefs about the green dragon, one is that the dream of the green dragon is a bad omen, they believe that the green dragon will eat their own dreams, to absorb their vitality, so that they become weak and sick; Others believe that the dragon eats their nightmares, leaving them only happy and happy dreams, and is a beneficial magical creature.
The magical world's view of the emerald dragon is more central, and the ecological survey expression of the emerald dragon is that they generally live in a nest of good dreams and feed on nightmares, and it is still unknown whether the dream being devoured has any effect on the owner of the dream.
In addition, corresponding to the magical ecology of the green dragon, this kind of guy who has no natural enemies in the dream world is very weak.
Although they have dragons in their names, their strength is so weak that they can be described as ruthless - someone once swore that he had seen an adult emerald dragon chased and beaten by several small demons as prey......
Well, there is only one meaning I want to express after saying all this.
That's what the Holy Maiden has called. It's an underage emerald dragon.
"It's a dream dragon...... "Sivi looked at the big lizard that was still licking its tail—its tail had been burned to a black—with a relieved look on his face, "I thought you were going to summon something." ”
Thinking about it, compared to the Qiyao Mage Association, which has been studying ancient magic and how much black technology-level magic has accumulated over the years, the Pure White Church has always been not interested in this aspect, and of course it is impossible to make a same-plane summoning before the Mage Association.
"I'm not a magician...... Compared to this, it's better to hurry up and find the most powerful seal carrier. ”
The girl greeted Xiwei and wanted to step on the back of the green dragon first, but before she could make this move, the whole person fell down limply as if a bone had been pulled out.
Sivi hurriedly grabbed her from behind.
"It's okay, is it?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just a little dizzy. The girl broke free from Sivi's arms. Climbed on the back of the green dragon alone: "You can come up quickly." ”
"Good ......"
Xiwei didn't know whether to say that she was strong or stubborn, so she could only scratch the back of her head and reluctantly stepped on Cuilong's back.
Although the speed of flight is nowhere near that of Sivi's exclusive mount, the Swift Falcon (System Enhancement), it is still stable in terms of smoothness. The emerald dragon was far superior to the two big birds.
It's no wonder that there isn't even a saddle on the slightly smooth back of the green dragon.
After flying over the steaming lava. The one was distorted by the high temperature because of the air. The black castle, which looks as terrifying and eerie as a demon's castle, is gradually showing its true face.
It was a castle – or complex – made of black metal all over its body, imbued with heavy metal decadence. Its structure is very peculiar, giving the impression that the manufacturer did not have a clear design or manufacturing concept at the time of manufacturing. It's just a casual piece of iron room with different shapes pieced together, and the casualness of soldering it after the most sloppy ......
In addition to the uneven walls, the structure has a number of gears of various sizes and models, some of which are still spinning faithfully in their mission, most of them have stopped, and some of them do not even have a structure capable of turning, making it doubtful that they are mere ornaments.
The most striking thing is the tallest building in the center of the complex.
It was a tower-shaped object in the shape of an ancient standing pendulum clock. The huge pendulum swayed like a giant guillotine with a terrifying whistling sound, and the top of the tower, which was supposed to be the top of the tower, became a bell tower like Big Ben, and the hands with runes depicting the runes pointed to a clearly wrong time.
In this world, there have indeed been inventions similar to clocks, but the thousand-year-old hourglass is more used for timekeeping, and the thousand-year-old hourglass has almost no need to care, and there has been no market for clocks in this world.
In fact, outside of the Adric Academy, Sivi is hard-pressed to find a place that doesn't use the hourglass as his primary timekeeping instrument.
It is precisely because of this that he has shown great interest in this clock city.
"Do you feel where the seal carrier is?" He asked the girl.
Hearing this, the girl closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, before shaking her head at Sivi.
"No, the city is too distracting...... I can only be sure that it is inside. ”
"Then go down first and take a look at the city."
After quickly deciding on a course of action, the girl took the green dragon, who was too timid to go in with them, back into her dream, and the two entered the city from a balcony in mid-air.
The city was very strange when viewed from the air, and until now, they hadn't seen a single living thing. When they entered the city, the silence was even more uncomfortable.
The only consolation is that it's at least not as hot as outside.
There are steam pipes everywhere, some rusty but still rotating clockwork, and the shell has rusted so that you can see the gear structure inside...... Everything that says so much about the difference that makes the city special.
"It's not magical at all...... How does this thing move? ”
When they came to a round hall and saw a shaft-like structure in the center of the round hall that was constantly moving, the girl finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's possible that the geothermal energy from lava is constantly feeding the city." Sivi touched the shaft and found it cold, without a hint of heat.
As they were discussing, Sivi saw a golden object no bigger than a fist leap from the corner towards the door.
He didn't bother to say hello to the girl, so he pounced and grabbed the thing in his hand - it didn't matter if it was poisonous or something, he was hungry and thirsty with a pile of poison crystals in his storage box......
After confirming that he had been caught, Sivi noticed what he had caught.
It was a golden teapot.
The teapot was not right, because it also had four equally golden, metallic spider feet, and the four delicate, disgusting-looking feet were constantly bending and stretching.
The teapot is exquisitely crafted, with some delicate patterns on it, and two bright red oval gemstones on either side of the teapot.
For some reason, the gem at Sivi gave him the weird feeling that 'this thing was looking at me.'
Probably thinking that it was useless for him to struggle like this, the teapot suddenly spewed out a stream of boiling water from the spout, which made the unprepared Xiwei subconsciously let go of his hand.
So the two of them watched the teapot disappear into the hallway with a bit of a blank smoking......
"What kind of place have we come to......" (to be continued......
