Chapter Seventy-Four: The Silver Dragon Mirimu
Looking at the corpses of the rat people and the eerie underground tunnels with no end in sight, their hearts are indescribably heavy, it is not easy to find a way to survive here, of course they can choose to go back, but maybe the people who have just climbed out of the passage can bump into those people in the Night Mask, and the end will be absolutely miserable.
"Let's move on." Acoste didn't pay attention to the corpses on the ground, they didn't know what terrible monsters would appear behind this deep corridor, and all they could do was to be vigilant, but to say that it was not enough to give up hope of survival in a pessimistic way, now the strength of the Scarlet Frost Flame team was already very strong, as long as they didn't encounter any desolate beasts, the general difficulties would not be difficult for them.
As they went deeper into the tunnel, some luminous minerals began to appear on the walls around the corridor, and with the help of the light of the illuminating crystal, Acoste was also surprised to find that the scale of the corridor was getting bigger and bigger, from the beginning of the height that everyone could touch the top by jumping to now look at the top wall need to look up to the top wall, and the width around it has also become wider, while some man-made walls have disappeared without knowing that section of the road, revealing the naturally formed rock wall, This gave Acoste the feeling of going back to the newly discovered cave in the first few adventures, which was not a good memory, with waves of kobolds and ogres, and in the end, if everyone was lucky enough to jump into the underground river and find a way to escape, there was a good chance that they would have starved to death.
Acoste shook his head, wanting to throw all the bad feelings behind his head, human beings naturally hate caves, caves are such landforms, because the environment in the belly of the mountain is closed, it is easy to make people feel lonely and panicked, but there are also some other races who like it very much, dwarves and gnomes love to build their cities in caves, they love to strike iron and ore, and naturally they like the natural mineral veins in the caves, of course, there is a saying that dwarves jump out of the stones, So this side has been their home since the beginning.
I don't know how long I walked, in a place like a cave where the sun, moon and stars outside could not be seen, Yacoste and they diluted the concept of time, and everyone's faces were full of exhaustion, this feeling was like a traveler in the desert who kept walking, but could never see the end, just when Yacoste was thinking about whether to let everyone stop and rest for a while, suddenly an indescribable momentum appeared in front of everyone.
The coercion of "........." came very suddenly, Yacoste and they didn't have time to react at all, they were shocked in place by this invisible force, Yacoste, Li Qing and Lavis are okay, as a warrior monk of will identification, Lavis, who has an explosive perception, and Yacoste, who has obtained expertise in fighting against mental control spells, they can still draw their weapons straight under the pressure of this coercion, while Ling and Doris can't, they sat on the ground with their feet weak, and their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.
A huge figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, standing there at a height of more than 20 meters, almost the same height as the top of the cave, the wings that covered the sky stretched out to block all the roads leading to the back of the cave, the slender and thick tail swayed behind the figure, Acoste grew his mouth, and blurted out a sentence, he knew very well that almost no creature on the Faren continent could grow like this except for the dragon, and it must be an old dragon to have this size.
Dragons, the top of the food chain of the Faren Continent, no matter what kind of dragon they are, their strength will grow rapidly over time, and when they become adults, they all have a huge physique, powerful wings and tails, no less than the strength and physique of legendary warriors, the spell-casting ability of legendary mages and the perception of legendary priests, of course, the most deadly thing is the breath that erupts from their mouths and the dragon power that emanates from their bodies, which is as powerful and wide as the power of 7 or 8 ring spells, and they don't want CD. Every year, tens of thousands of high-level professionals in the Faren Continent are ready to slay dragons or take dragon slaying as the ultimate goal, but there are very few successful people, and most of them have become appetizers in the belly of the dragon.
Yacoste was really desperate this time, because there was a layer of white fog in front of him, he couldn't see which dragon the other party was, but even if he knew, it didn't make much sense, no matter what kind of dragon it was, he could beat them in a fancy way.
"Cute little friend, you look desperate? Was it me who scared you? Just as Acoste was about to close his eyes and wait for death, a pleasant female voice suddenly reached Acoste's ears, and he opened his eyes in surprise to see that the huge figure that was originally blocking the gate of the road was gone, replaced by a beautiful elf woman standing in front of them with a smile.
She has a good figure, a slender body, and her delicate facial features give people a kind of elegant beauty and undesecrated temperament without any makeup, but her state is very strange, and the whole person is wrapped in a layer of faint sand-like substance, giving people an illusory feeling. It's like a person's soul.
Soul! Acoste suddenly reacted, in his previous life memories he did hear people mention that there was a female silver dragon called Mirimu in the underground secret passage of Candle Castle, she was bound here by the archcist Thor with a spell to protect the safety of scholars, buildings and books, and with the blessing of the Candle Castle Circle, Mirimu is immortal and immortal, even if it is killed, it will be resurrected in a short time, unless someone can destroy Candle Castle entirely.
The only good news is that Mirimu doesn't usually kill infiltrators, her soul is so lonely that she prefers to talk rather than fight, and will often appear in front of visitors, exchanging information about major events in the modern age with the historical legends she knows.
Of course, if you're going to use false information to trick Mirimu or attack her. Then the ghost of the silver dragon will not hesitate to throw out a large amount of dragon magic and directly blast you to slag, and one thing to pay attention to in the face of Mirimu is that you can't carry books with you, whether it's Candlecastle's or your own. The Silver Dragon Ghost will insist that you surrender and return the book to Candlekeep.
"Hello, Silver Dragon.... Lady. We are adventurers who have strayed here, hoping to find a way to survive and get out of here. Acoste bowed his head respectfully and said tentatively, he wasn't sure if the information in his memory of his previous life was true, if it was someone else's casual nonsense, then they would be finished.
"Oh, adventurers who strayed here? No one else can enter here except for the Guardian of the Scroll himself casting spells, and you're lying. The silver dragon ghost Mirimu's face sank, the thing she hated the most was lies and deception, and if that kid was any more untrustworthy, she would give the other party a little color.
"No, I'm not lying, your spell detection lies speak for themselves, we did come here from a hidden junction in the Candle Castle Library." Acoste's head was sweating, he was afraid that the other party would be unhappy and sneeze to destroy himself, dragons are divided into good dragons and evil dragons, but no matter what kind of dragons are almost in the camp of chaos, their personalities are capricious and their temper is not qualitative, and it would be a loss if they died like this.
"Oh, that's where it is, I remembered that there was an entrance over there, and I forgot about it for so long." Mirimu dragged his cheek raiser with his jade hand and thought thoughtfully for a while before saying a word, which stabilized Acoste's fluttering little liver, but the next second, the other party's other words made him nervous again.
"You all have the books of the Candle Castle with you, you came to the Candle Castle to steal the books, surrender quickly and give those books to me, otherwise I will let you taste the power of the dragon's breath."
"Forehead......" Acoste's expression was very exciting, it seemed that the message in his memory was true, he carefully piled all the books on his body under the body of the silver dragon Mirimu, but he did not take out the books in the space bag, you must know that the space bag is connected to another sub-plane, unless the silver dragon now casts a prophecy spell, otherwise it will definitely not feel the breath of those books.
"Well, very good, for the sake of your obedience, I won't do it." The silver dragon Mirimu said happily, even if it only needs one hand to easily kill Acoste and a group of them, but the silver dragon's nature is kind and does not like strife and it still makes it not want to fight, but this is also the relationship between Acoste and their camp is all good and neutral, if it encounters a few people from the evil camp who come here, I don't know what will happen.
"But as punishment, you have to talk to me, I'm so bored here, that damn Grand Karcist killed me and imprisoned my soul, I don't remember how long I've been here, five hundred years, or a thousand ......years." After the silver dragon Mirimu saw that everyone handed over things so cooperatively, the whole dragon also relaxed its vigilance and began to pour bitter water with Acoste, Doris heard the tragic experience of the silver dragon Mirimu, and couldn't help but feel sympathy, and the two motherly chatters of different races bumped into each other, and chatted with each other.
