Chapter 6: The Dragon's Crypt
In the dark cave, a burst of light suddenly appeared.
Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, accompanied by screams.
"Why is the entrance in the air!" Damian rubbed his sore waist before he got up from the ground.
While looking at his surroundings, he said to himself: "Who said that the teleportation circle is simple, and it took a dozen attempts to succeed, or is it because I don't have a staff? Merlin, an old man who picks the door, won't even give me a staff." ”
Damian cursed hatefully, and at the same time noticed that this place seemed to be different from the last time.
The cave has become wider, there are still upside-down stalactites on top, and the bonfire that was lit before is gone, apparently another location.
"Where's Deathwing?"
Since the teleportation circle is located on the dragon's side, Deathwing should be nearby.
But Damian looked around and didn't find the little black dragon.
"Hiss..."The cry broke the silence in the cave, it was Deathwing, which seemed to sense Damian's arrival, and the little black dragon responded in this way.
Damian ran in the direction of the scream.
.........
"Oh my God, what is this?"
Imprinted in front of Damien's eyes was a huge statue, 100 meters high, made of gold, carved by the dragon god Nidhogg, whose eyes were inlaid with huge rubies and emitted an eerie light in the dark cave.
Damien was blinded by this extravagant sight, and for a man of money, what a paradise flowing with milk and honey, this is it.
"It's just... It's too much. Damian walked under the golden statue and looked up at Nidhogg. "Can you knock a piece down from above, just a small piece, and I'll be rich." ”
Damian began to study that if gold is dissolved into a necklace, it will be taken away in his pocket, and if it dissolves into a gold brick, it will be a little heavier, but it can still be carried, but if it is cast into a small mountain... There's really nothing you can do.
It's really uncomfortable to have a mountain of gold that can't be discounted.
"Shhhh Only then did Damian reflect on what his original purpose was, a habit like him that couldn't walk when he saw gold, and if he had been a father in his previous life, he would definitely be the kind of person who hung his child on the wall and painted copies by himself for a day and a night.
Damien looked for the direction of the sound, and on the left side of the statue's base, he found a door, and the stone steps inside the door spiraled down, and there was no bottom.
Damian touched the steps with his hand, they were cold to the touch, covered with moss, and no one had been here for a long time.
Magnificent golden statues, ruined spiral staircases, dragon-infested caves, snowy wastelands, everything in this place seems so eerie. The name Yasan, the red dragon, once again appeared in Damian's mind, lingering like the shadow of death.
Damian lingered in front of the door for a long time, and finally, he took a step and walked down the stone steps, to ask the reason, of course, driven by "fatherly love".
Deathwing is waiting for me, and that's why it's enough.
After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, Damian finally reached the bottom.
With his feet on the wet dirt and the deathly silence around him, he struggled to get used to seeing in the dark, and before his eyes, a huge silhouette slowly appeared.
The body like a mountain, the head of a cart, and the claws that fell off were still as sharp as spears......
A dragon's skeleton!
"Red Dragon Ahsan. Damian finally pronounced the name that terrified him.
In the darkness, a pair of golden pupils opened their eyes.
"Shhhh
A black bolt of lightning rushed into Damian's arms, and the familiar feel and gurgling sound made Damian feel very relieved.
Looks like the little guy is in good spirits.
At the same time, Damian finally had time to look at this place, the place where the bones of the red dragon Ahsan were buried, but he didn't expect to see it, and a chill rose from his heart.
Around the huge skeleton of the red dragon Yasan, there were hundreds of skeletons of all sizes sitting or lying, some holding giant swords, some holding magic staffs tightly, and some of their bodies were almost shattered and protecting their companions behind them, of course, their companions were not spared.
Looking at the hollow eye sockets on the skeletons, Damian could feel the great pain they had endured before they died, apparently under the impact of some high-level spell.
"The Red Dragon of Fury, the supreme power of the dragons......"
"A rampaging mature red dragon, even the direct descendant of Nidhogg, the king of the dragon clan, the black dragon of despair, has to avoid its edge......"
"The Red Dragon's high-level spell, 'Judgment of Wrath' is the most devastating psychic attack known to ......"
Looking at the annotations of the Book of Dragons in his mind, Damian had basically made up what had happened here.
After the death of the dragon mage Lawson, his companion Red Dragon Ahsan was no longer able to control him, causing disaster in all directions. The people on the mainland can no longer endure it after being wreaked havoc many times. The Dragon-Slaying Expeditionary Force, composed of mages and knights, found Ahsan's lair, where the two sides fought a fierce battle, and finally died together, and both were reduced to dry bones.
Damian picked up a short-handled staff covered in jet black on the ground, and his divine sense was injected into it, and his spirit was lifted, and he suddenly felt full of mana.
"The quality should be high. Damian muttered as he looked at the eye-like gem at the tip of his staff.
He held his staff across his chest, his mind moving, and he muttered a mantra in his mouth.
"Teleport. ”
With a finger of the staff, half a meter in front of him, a complex and exquisite pattern of the magic circle mark was immediately outlined.
Dragon-type magic contract teleportation.
Damian had tried more than a dozen times before to succeed, but he didn't expect that with the help of this staff, he would be able to instantaneously.
"It's too powerful, it turns out that the staff's increase in combat power is so terrifying. Damian then understood why he had asked Merlin for a staff, and Merlin said to him with a wary look on his face. To a mage, the staff is like a warrior's sword, a knight's lance, or an archer's longbow.
The staff in your hand gives you 0.2 seconds less time to chant than your opponent, and on the battlefield, that's the difference between victory and defeat.
Damian rubbed the golden gem on the staff that looked like the pupils of Deathwing, and said silently in his heart, "Let's call you Dragon's Eye." ”
Deathwing was asleep in his arms, and Damian held him in his arms, pacing around the eerie dragon's crypt, thinking to himself, I had really made a fortune this time.
The tomb is scattered with all kinds of magic staffs, big swords, and armor, and the humans who can fight against the red dragon Ahsan are at least high-level mages or great knights, and their sidearms are not mortal. And the hundreds of ownerless things in the cave are now owned by Damien.
The equipment on the continent is divided into four levels: legendary, epic, rare, and ordinary according to the standards divided by the dwarven metallurgical federation that is the most proficient in building.
In the price of the Lorraine Chamber of Commerce, an ordinary-level staff costs about 200 gold, while a rare-grade staff costs 600 or 700 gold, and a good quality even costs thousands of gold.
As for the epic staff, it is priceless and marketable, and generally appears in auction houses in high society, where it is contested by various forces in the form of bidding.
The Legendary Continent has not appeared for many years, the dwarves are digging ore in the stratum and approaching the core of the earth, the mercenary group is exploring the Borderlands infested with legends in the Far North, and the thieves even started the idea of the Nasa Elves Holy Relic World Tree, all in order to find raw materials that can create legendary treasures.
And the last legendary weapon that came out happened to be the staff "Arcane Gamma" of Damian's teacher Merlin, otherwise how do you think he became an "Arcane Tyrant" with a second-level arcane affinity?
"Either you have a good guy or you have a good dad. The truth of this popular proverb on the continent is that luck and background are the only options for success.
And Damian is undoubtedly the leader of the former, after all, in this era of rising "equipment bubbles", it is no longer ordinary luck for him to pick up the epic or even legendary level in this place, and it is almost Lady Luck throwing a flattering eye at him.
And it seems that his good luck has not yet come to an end, and the next thing he discovers can be said to be that the goddess of luck has to marry him to the point of "recommending himself to bed".
