681 Kill that dragon
André needs to conduct "absolute freezing" magic research and needs a lot of clean water as raw materials, so this Tower of Eternity in the center of Seanzu is the ideal place to do so. But at the most critical stage of his research, it was also the time when the civil war broke out in the Akkhohia Empire, and the whole of Seanzu was in flames.
Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible for Andrei to conduct magical research in peace.
The Tower of Eternity is a key guarantee of drinking water for the military and civilians in the entire Seanzu, and the five-colored dragon army besieging Seanzu will naturally use this striking building as a concentrated target.
Especially later, when the Red Dragon Titanis led the troops with absolute numerical superiority to finally attack Seanzu, and the two sides launched fierce street battles in the city, Andre, who was hiding in the Tower of Eternity, was even more because of the interference of the war, and there was almost no way to conduct his own magic research.
In addition to the constant bombardment of magic crystal cannons and various heavy catapults every day, there are also air raids by flying troops, and even unconventional means such as infiltration and sabotage.
Despite all his caution and caution, André was not able to complete his research in the end. At the last and most critical moment, he was destroyed by a white dragon named Emmonris.
Because of the destruction of the white dragon, the large magic array set up by Andre fell into a situation of getting out of control, endlessly urging the arcane gem to release all the power inside.
The end result was that the entire Seanzu changed from the southern kingdom to the northern land overnight. The snowy environment made the soldiers on both sides of the city extremely uncomfortable, and I don't know how many people froze to death and frostbitten overnight.
Andrei himself paid an extremely heavy price. He lost the Arcane Gem, and his entire magical research fell short at the last minute. And the worst part. His body froze and became brittle from the instantaneous low temperature. In the end, if it weren't for the timely use of the method of soul transfer at a critical moment, he was attached to a temporary sculpture made of ice. I'm afraid he won't be alive today, and he won't be able to wait for Aziz and Gordon to arrive.
The only thing that can be considered a blessing in disguise is that. Because of the tremendous cold energy released by the Mystery Gem at that time, André gained a new power in the process of soul transfer. Today, his ice sculpture can blend seamlessly into any form of water, whether gaseous, liquid, or solid.
So in this icy and snowy environment, he has an extremely useful displacement and stealth ability.
When he hid in the ice just now, even Gordon couldn't find out.
And just before Gordon arrived, when Aziz was talking to Andre, the other party sued him. To open that door, there is no problem, as long as Aziz helps him kill the white dragon Emmonris.
The magical research of the year failed at the last minute, and Andrei's mysterious gem was snatched by the white dragon. Although Emmonris also died in the midst of the magical energy rampage, due to the power of the Mystic Gem, he transformed into a composite form of a semi-ghostly energy body.
"The White Dragon Emmonris is right behind this gate." Aziz said to Gordon, "That's what Andre proposed. He will help us open this door, and then we must make a contractual promise to help him kill the white dragon Emmonris. ”
"Quite a reasonable request." Gordon said.
The white dragon is the weakest of the five-colored dragons. It's also the dumbest one. And judging from the description just now, the white dragon back then was not a great storage zài. If he is a powerful ancient dragon, he will definitely be incorporated into the main force of the Red Dragon Titanis and face off against the legion of the Golden Dragon Loloados.
Since a dragon is sent to carry out the secondary task of destroying facilities. That means that Emmonrys's ability is not outstanding.
Now that the opponent has lost the body of the dragon, he has lost many of his advantages in battle.
It is important to know that humans can lightly abandon their original bodies and make attempts such as organ modification or lich transformation. It's because the human body is mediocre and has nothing to praise.
But the dragon's physical advantage is too much. Indicators such as protection, vitality, strength and speed are all top-notch. Even the weakest white dragon. It's also enough to crush most creatures.
Therefore, although Emmones has now transformed into a special form of undead and energy mixture, he may have some unexpected abilities, but in terms of combat power, he may not be able to compare with a real dragon.
Therefore, Gordon felt that it would not be too difficult for his four humans plus Andre himself to kill the dragon.
Aziz had the same judgment as Gordon. So the two of them simply agreed to Andrei's request.
Because there is no other way.
Unable to make a simple gesture like nodding his head, Andre let the blue flames in his eyes flash in agreement. He said in a voice that was so peculiar that it was impossible for a human vocal cord to make, "Because both I and that damn white dragon are under the influence of the power of the Mystic Gem, we can't kill each other." If I want to deal with that stupid dragon and get the Mystery Gem back, I'll have to rely on outsiders for help. ”
It was for this reason that although Andre was able to open the door and enter the core area of the Tower of Eternity's underground, he did not go.
For so many years, he has been silently hiding, not letting the white dragon know about his existence, just so that one day, he can kill back by surprise and complete revenge.
"During the battle, the wall was punched through a large hole, and it was completely sealed by ice. It is almost impossible for you to destroy this magically protected and regenerating ice. But for me, this obstacle is like air, almost non-existent. ”
With that, André suddenly sank into the wall he was pointing at.
Gordon and Aziz looked at each other, feeling that each other's special abilities were simply inexplicable in the current environment. If the white dragon Emmonris and Andre have similar abilities, how can they kill each other?
If you don't make adequate preparations, you will be killed by the time of the four to one, and it will be a big mess.
The two of them were discussing the future battle strategy in a low voice, when the door suddenly rumbled. At the gap between the surrounding area and the wall, ice slag is constantly falling. A huge vibration came from the ground, making Gordon's toes feel a little numb.
When the entire gate was opened, Andre, who was huge, walked with extremely quiet steps and came to Gordon and his party: "We can go." ”
After the gate of Guò, the environment further underground of the Tower of Eternity has not changed much, and it is still an old and cold stone building, covered with even colder ice and snow.
Gordon followed Andre further, and in addition to paying attention to the white dragon mentioned by the other party, he also kept an eye on the telepathy with Ainia.
He could clearly feel that the other party was getting closer and closer to him, and it might not be long before he could join her.
After walking for about ten minutes, Gordon and Aziz noticed the changes in their surroundings at the same time, and looked at each other: "There is a dragon's breath......"
Although the enemy they faced was not a typical dragon, the dragon power exuded by the other party was still real. Sensing the unique aura of that powerful creature, Gordon knew that the group had entered the place where the creature had lived for years.
In other words, they're in the Dragon's Lair.
It's just that there's nothing but drab white. The most common mountain of gold and silver jewelry in the dragon's lair as a decoration was not at all in the house of the white dragon Emmonris.
However, Gordon felt that this was not because the other party did not like gold coins - after all, dragons who were not greedy for money were as rare as ogres who did not eat people.
The biggest possibility is that in Seanzuri, the white dragon Emmonris can't grab anything at all.
Soon after the failed magical research that led the entire city to ice, Seranzu faced a decisive battle between the two armies and then disappeared into the main material realm.
In the years that followed, Emmonrys was accompanied only by visions that kept repeating the war.
After walking for a while, it suddenly became clear to the group that they had come from the narrow passage to a huge cave.
"When the Tower of Eternity was still functioning, this was where the spatial passage was located. A steady stream of pure water gushes out of the large circular pool below that connects to the water elemental plane, and is then diverted throughout the city. But now, it's the bed of the stupid crawler! Andrei said fiercely.
Gordon was sure that if he had facial features, he would have been gritting his teeth at this time.
When the enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed.
The place where Gordon and his party were located was in the middle of the entire cavern, about twenty meters from the huge clearing below.
A white dragon was lying asleep in the middle of a sunken circular facility. Judging from the various magical devices on the ground that have long been abandoned, Andre is not wrong, this should have been the core area of the Tower of Eternity's water extraction back then.
Although Gordon had no interest in the scrapped equipment of the waterworks, when Aziz saw those things, his eyes lit up and he looked eager to try.
Gordon had to remind him, "Master Aziz, remember our highest priority. Now that we have a contract with us, we have to kill the white dragon first, and then think about other things. (To be continued......)
