Chapter 7: The Dragon's Egg
Now that they have successfully destroyed the Black Magic Array, this stone wall no longer poses a threat to them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Salian cautiously rechecked again, and found that there was no more obstruction, and he also found a hollow area behind the stone wall. After relying on Anna's concentrated blow, the weak point crumbled like an avalanche, and a winding staircase appeared in front of Salian and them.
Salian carried Yulia and Anna up the staircase to its end, where a stone door awaited them. This time, Anna didn't rush forward and knock on the door directly, but waited for Salian to check first. The results of the inspection were good, there were no special incidents this time, and the stone door was just a very simple granite slab.
Just as Anna was about to pry the door open with her cavalry sword, the door was suddenly opened from the other side, and a man in a shabby black robe burst out, with a green dagger in his thin hand, rushing towards them. Although it was obvious that this was a well-prepared and ready blow, but the man had just run three steps before he found that his feet had left the ground, and then the dagger was not controlled by him and stabbed straight to his chest, so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the dagger, but the strange thing was that the dagger did not follow his wishes, and still flew towards his chest persistently, as a result, he had to shout: "My lord, spare my life, I will do anything, I know everything, don't kill me!"
It must be said that this man's intellectual response was excellent, and Salian really put him down in order to find out the reason for the matter, but received the dagger into his hand.
"My lord, you are really a god, and you have defeated such powerful necromantic monsters!" the man said to Salian flatteringly after sneaking a glance at the horns on Anna's back.
While admiring the dagger, Salian said to the black-robed man: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me, your origin, why you are here, and everything you should know, if you have heard of the Terror Knight, you should know the methods and tricks of our confessions." Oops, I forgot, in fact, I don't need you to confess at all. Hehe, you don't have to answer any questions, I can find out for myself. ”
Without waiting for him to answer, in an instant, a purple glint flashed in Salian's eyes, and the black-robed man suddenly felt that the fear in his heart was expanding infinitely, and his spirit was also extremely tired. He had already consumed almost all of his energy by launching the summoning circle just now, and now he encountered a terrifying knight's spiritual attack, that is, the "soul whipping" in the terrifying secret art of the control school, and after making a negligible resistance, his will completely collapsed. Originally, he wanted to hide something, but now he has completely lost all his ability to resist and has fallen into a coma, leaving Salian to read his memories.
About ten minutes later, in front of the stone door, Anna was boredly grinding her breastplate with a bright stone for plate armor, while Yulia lay down on a placemat. At this moment, the black-robed man's body suddenly began to twitch violently, and his thin fingers struggled frantically to grasp something in the void, and after ten seconds, his body gradually stopped moving, and then he saw a large amount of blood flowing out of the gap in the black robe, Yulia, who had just woken up and wanted to drink saliva, immediately screamed and fainted when she saw this scene.
Salian rubbed his temples, the mental energy he had just consumed gave him a little headache, and then he opened the blood-soaked black robe and took out the sheath of the dagger with great familiarity, as well as a synthetic magic crystal, all of which were put into his pocket. This dagger is the best evidence of going to Constance to get a prize.
Then he kicked the useless corpse aside, drew his flaming sword, picked up Yulia again, and said to Anna, who was already sharpening her leggings, "I know everything, come with me." ”
This time, Salian and the others finally passed through the granite gate safely, and it turned out that on the other side of the stone gate was a huge confined space. In the open space in front of this room, they saw a black magic pentagram, obviously showing traces of just used, and a residual necromantic aura, which Salian knew was the place where the strange cow had been summoned just now. In the deepest part of the room, they saw an altar hewn out of rock, on which was placed a large egg with black patterns.
Anna happily ran over and pointed to the egg and said to Salian, "I have something good to eat tonight while I drink!"
Before Salian could stop her, Anna reached for the egg as she spoke, trying to pick it up, but the egg seemed to merge with the altar pedestal, and Anna couldn't move it.
"Dear Anna, it takes a knack to pick up this egg, it has been sealed with a very strong seal, and it cannot be broken by brute force, which was laid by the black dragon with the last of its strength before he died. ”
Salian rubbed Anna's hand and said, "I have already read the memory of that necromancer using the ancestral terrifying secret technique just now, but fortunately he only has the strength of a low-level magician, and his spiritual power has been consumed a lot, otherwise it would really take some effort to torture to extract a confession." ”
"Is there any way to break the seal, then?" asked Anna, confused.
"There is still a way, this necromancer turned out to be the military advisor of this black dragon, and he was ordered to protect and nurture this egg when the black dragon was dying, so that they could still have a chance to make a comeback. It was a matter of time before the necromancer's plan to hatch the egg using the necromantic power of the psychedelic swamp was almost immediately successful, taking advantage of the unsupervised here," Salian shook his head with a sigh and continued, "Unfortunately, we happened to stop it. And it just so cheapens us, and if we want to get this egg, we have to take advantage of the opportunity he has created for us. ”
"Come, dear Anna, all you have to do is pass on the horror secret to me, and I'll do the rest. ”
Salian said this to Anna, but he did not tell Anna his true purpose, lest he have to explain it again, although he could add another useful help to Salian and them when it was done.
Salian settled Yulia against the wall, and walked to the altar with Anna, where they stood tightly together, concentrating on the power of the arcane arts in preparation for the most crucial step of the day.
Soon after, Anna said to Salian, "I'm ready, Salian, do you want me to transfer my power to you?"
"Alright, come on, hold my hand, and then relax, let me guide your power. ”
As he spoke, they clasped their fingers together, as if they were real lovers, but unfortunately in such a dark and damp granite room, they did not feel the slightest romantic atmosphere, but was full of unknown dangers. They are very young, so they naturally have some blind bravery and self-confidence, and the end of victory is beckoning to them, which strengthens their faith, and in turn, the stronger the belief of the horror knights, the more courageous they are.
Salian was extremely careful to control the fusion of Anna and his own powers, and although this was one of Salian's tricks to control the genre, there was still no room for deviation when using this technique, otherwise their lives could be in danger at any time.
Thus concentrating the strength of the two of them, Salian stretched out his other hand and pressed it against a protrusion of the altar, and the altar began to tremble slightly after receiving this power, and then many quaint ornaments appeared on the altar, emitting a strange light, and finally the light in these ornaments flowed towards the egg in the center like flowing water.
Soon, the egg in the center of the altar also began to vibrate, and the amplitude slowly increased, and gradually there were ripples of strange light on the eggshell, but perhaps because the power received was not strong enough, there was no change that Salian expected.
"Finally, my dear, we will soon succeed. ”
Anna didn't answer Sarian, but the purple light in her eyes became more dazzling, and Sarian felt a huge force surging towards him, but fortunately he had been prepared, concentrating all his spirits to control this power, and his own extreme power was gathered into a bunch, and all of them were poured into the altar, and this time there was a dazzling light on the altar and the egg.
Finally exhausted Anna sat down on her knees, and Salian collapsed. But a miracle happened, the egg on the altar shook violently, the shell gradually shattered, and out of it struggled to crawl out of a black dragon, of course, not the hideous, huge kind, but a very small, or very cute little thing broke out of the shell, it had bright black scales, short wings, a pair of small white horns, and large black eyes bright and strange luster.
It slowly climbed off the altar and shook its head to Anna's side, as if she had some special attraction. This little thing is so cute, Anna can't help but pick it up, and it keeps rubbing Anna's hand with its little face, Anna said to Salian, who had just gotten up, "This little thing doesn't look like any meat, raise it and eat it." ”
The little black dragon probably understood Anna's words, and the two little fleshy wings flailed desperately, stumbling away from Anna's hand, sliding down on Salian's body and shivering. Sally Anxin thought that the black dragon that was hatched by the strength of the two of them in the end really had a close connection with them, and it was obvious that because of Anna's strong strength, this little thing was more kind to Anna. The necromancer's memories didn't fool him, and Salian decided that he would practice this stunt more in the future, it would be too useful.
However, this was all expected by Salian, but there was one thing that surprised him.
The little black dragon suddenly said to him, "Daddy, Daddy, Mommy is so terrible! ”
Salian never expected that the newborn little black dragon would already be able to speak, which in the record of the "Encyclopedia of High-level Beings", only the dragon clan with the purest bloodline can master the language ability as soon as they are born. So if the content in the book is correct, according to the standards of the Dragon King, this little black dragon should directly have the memory of part of the dragon inheritance, and other abilities will soon awaken.
In this way, Salian's ambition to become a formidable dragoon after reading the necromancer's memories may have been fulfilled sooner.
Salian secretly rejoiced, he took the little black dragon in his arms, and while caressing its scales, he said to it gently: "Little baby, don't be afraid, mother will not really eat you, she will only like you very much, love you." ”
He winked at Anna, who had to smile the most kindly at the little black dragon, even though she still had many questions in her mind. Although Anna doesn't know much, she is also a woman who knows how to advance and retreat, and she can go back and ask Salian slowly anyway.
While Salian was patiently calming the little black dragon's fear, Yulia, who had fainted countless times today, finally woke up again, she looked around in confusion, and suddenly found the little cutie in Salian's arms, and her blurred vision just now suddenly brightened. Yulia got up from the ground excitedly, ran to Salian's side, and gently flicked the horns and tiny wings of the little black dragon with her fingers.
She said to Salian, "Where did this cute little thing come from?"
Salian's gaze pointed to the broken eggshell on the altar, and a curious Yulia walked over and picked up a piece of eggshell to look at it carefully.
Then she said happily: "Brother, now we are developed, this little cutie is a newborn black dragon." When Mr. Zolvik taught me pharmacy, he asked me to read through the "Outline of Pharmacology", which said that the medicinal value of black dragons was very high. Hehe, these broken eggshells can't be wasted, as well as their horns, eyes, internal organs, etc., are very useful, and the value will be higher when it is raised, and I will dissect it when it gets bigger in the future, it can be made into a very effective medicine, and it can be sold for a lot of money!"
Then, as the little black dragon trembled again, Salian sternly rejected Yulia's unreasonable request and criticized her fiercely. Then, at Salian's arrangement, Anna had questions, while Yulia tidied up her things with tears in her eyes, preparing to leave the swamp. Yulia eventually collects all the eggshells, which are still very medicinal anyway.
As they left the cave, Salian hadn't forgotten to let Anna destroy the gates, stone steps, corridors, and everything else that could be destroyed, and he didn't want to hear rumors of something strange here surviving again.
