Chapter 767: Dragon
The "King of the North" Julisian, the frost dragon, is not a demigod who is promoted through normal means, but a collection of out-of-control monsters with extraordinary characteristics of frost, which may be comparable to demigods in certain areas, but is flawed in other aspects......
But at the moment it was asleep in the hill-like pile of treasures, unaware of the arrival of the three uninvited guests.
However, the three Abner were not careless, and after probing by means of divination, prophecy, or analysis, they determined that they would not wake up unless the other party was harmed.
"Maybe it's because in the story of "Grossell's Travels", the characters of the protagonist team have not yet been assembled, and the plot progress has come to a standstill." Abner combined the plot of the original book with the current situation to make a guess.
Hearing this, Adevina nodded thoughtfully and said, "The back pages of that travelogue are indeed glued together, and they can't be opened yet......
"In other words, our way of 'entering' can't 'promote' the plot?"
Klein played the character of "Gelman", directly revealed the "blasphemy card" in his hand, and pointed to the cards in the hands of the two "secret masters", and stated in an emotionless tone: "'Black Emperor', 'Error', 'Gate'." ”
Learning from Miss Sharon can't make you more "cute...... Abner complained in his heart, but he also understood what Klein meant:
The "Black Emperor" symbolizes the "distortion" of the rules, the "mistakes" reflect the "loopholes" of the world, and the "door" that is finally opened on the basis of the first two can be the same as the "normal" entry?
Russell's ceremonial arrangement is clearly opening the back door.
"Since it's been sleeping, let's not attack it for now...... lest any bad change happen...... Moreover, the 'door' that goes out is above its head, and if it dies, it is impossible to say if the blasphemy card can open another door. Abner thought for a moment and suggested.
The main thing is that as soon as the "King of the North" dies, the story will most likely end, and those on the protagonist team are estimated to die of old age as in the original book.
"Hmm." Edvina bowed slightly, she took out a notebook, looked at the snow-white outside the cave, and added, "Since this notebook detailing how to enter here safely has been placed in the home of the soldier Rossel the Great...... Well, some of his arrangements, I'm afraid, are on Ronzel.
"Let's go to the 'protagonists' of the story first."
The main goal of their expedition was what Russell had left behind.
Klein thought about the two of them's suggestion for a moment, and nodded in agreement, but before leaving, he stopped again, glanced back at the frost dragon, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Abner, who was about to walk out of the cave, saw this scene and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it's 'utopian', you can't get out of this book world, but I can't help you complete the ritual of 'magician'."
At this point, he glanced back at the treasures, and went on to quip, "The gold coins and jewels are also 'utopian.' ”
Do I look like such a money-grubbing person? Well...... No, this guy probably guessed that Klein was also my vest, so he subconsciously thought I was poor?
Klein glanced at Abner and asked rhetorically in a Gelmanian tone, "You seem to know something about the world in Grossell's Travels?" ”
"Aren't you the same?" Abner smiled and said meaningfully, "You didn't have any doubts when I said the word 'utopian.'"
And, with all I know of you, if you really don't know anything about this travelogue, you won't follow me and Edwina so easily. Suddenly, Abner didn't say that.
"I got some of the information from a mirror." Klein said vaguely.
Before he left the hotel, he had taken the time to summon Arodes to ask for information about the travelogue, and learned that it first appeared in the Dragons, after the disappearance of the "City of Miracles" Levixid.
And this is almost directly about the suspect...... The suspect dragon points to the "dragon of fantasy".
"It turned out to be ...... Arodes," Abner said, pretending to be abrupt.
"You know Arodes?" Klein was really surprised this time, after all, the mirror was the seal of the Steam Church, and as far as he knew, Mr. "Tower" had no "friends" in the Steam Church.
"Hehe, Stormchurch's 'Mystic Master' Stewart has developed a mystic technique that prays to 'Arodes' and has spread it in a small circle...... And Arodus is also willing to answer some questions. "Abner
Of course, it is happy to answer, and every time it answers a question, it means that someone will die once! Klein was in a huff, and soon thought of Dali, the lady who was able to know that the captain had been resurrected, and probably used this secret technique.
At this time, Edwina, who was listening, suddenly interjected: "Arodes...... What kind of secret art is that? ”
Her pale blue eyes, which were as clear as spring water, had a strong sense of curiosity.
"When I get back, I can teach you...... Now it's time to explore. Abner coughed, brought the conversation back to the right path, and was the first to walk out of the dragon-inhabited cavern.
Adevina didn't ask any more questions, silently following.
Only Klein glanced at the intellectually beautiful pirate general with pity, and felt that she was afraid that she was afraid that she would have a handle in the hands of Mr. "Tower", and then she might not be able to escape the "clutches" of "the devil......
After seeing that both of them had gone out, he secretly tried the spell pointing to the "Great Lord above the Gray Mist", and found that he could still communicate with that mysterious space without being isolated, which made him even more relieved.
After all, when necessary, he can also ascend the gray mist and incarnate as a "sea god", which is equivalent to a demigod-level combat power.
While thinking about his thoughts, Crane also walked out of the cave, followed by the wind with ice ballast and goose feathers and snowflakes slapping him in the face, making his body tense involuntarily and trembling slightly while he looked at his surroundings.
"Really...... It's cold......" He almost uttered an expletive, making sure that he was in a field of ice and snow with very little visibility, a world different from the warm cavern just now.
He had thought that the damp and cold of Beckland's winter was the most terrifying, but now he finally understood that the combination of absolute low temperature and the wind like a knife was the fatal combination, even if he had pre-added a sweater and a thick long dress before he came, he felt a little unbearable at this time.
He didn't wear the "sun brooch" because of this, because it produced a spiritual level of heat, which was used to fight the effects of intense cold in a short period of time, and did not make the body stiff, which was effective, but in the face of the long-term ice and snow environment, it was equivalent to suicide - the mental level of heat will make people's bodies release their pores, be in a summer state, remove the last layer of defense against low temperatures, and even take the initiative to greet them.
At this time, he saw Abner, who had come out first, beckoning him to come closer.
Without much hesitation, Klein stepped forward, quickly realizing that he had passed through a barrier and that his surroundings were warm.
"You're well prepared." Adevina is the least dressed of the three, after all, she only has a general understanding of the environment in the book, and her preparation is more focused on the "battle" aspect.
"As a 'mystic master' who often uses magical items to fly at high speeds, it makes sense to develop a mystic technique that can protect against the wind and keep warm." Abner laughed at himself and then asked, "Which direction should I go?" ”
Adevina took out a brass-framed mirror, seemed to sense it, and then pointed to the south-west direction and said, "There." ”
Abner didn't ask much, and directly simulated the "wind", dragged the bodies of the three people, and flew in the direction guided by Edwina.
When he was in sequence 7, he was able to rely on this ability to hold Hugh for a short flight, and now, even if there is no contact, it is not a big problem to drive the three of them.
Without saying a word, they soon found a mountain peak under Adewina's guidance.
Skirting a huge rock with a thick layer of ice, I saw a dark cave.
The three of them cautiously entered it in a triangular formation, and then in the wide and airy cave, next to a bonfire that emitted light and heat, they saw five figures sleeping in kimono.
The most striking was a four-meter-tall cyclops, his complexion was grayish-blue, his chest, abdomen and waist were wrapped in a thick fur of wild beasts, and the rest of the place was bare, even his feet were unprotected. Even when he slept, he still held a large sword like a door panel.
Beside him, a middle-aged man in a simple white robe, a young soldier of Rune sleeping on a rock, a man in his thirties dressed in uncoordinated and asymmetrical clothing, and a beautiful female elf lying in the man's arms.
"Giant Grossell...... Rune Soldier Ronzel...... The remaining ascetics, the nobles and elves of the Solomonic Empire in the Quaternary Age, have no specific names, only code names. Adevina said softly.
"Are only Grossell and Dragonzel names? It seems that the latter really has some problems...... This is the 'protagonist' treatment. Crane said as he stared at the young soldier in black armor.
It's not surprising that Grossell, as the first character to enter the book, has a name, but judging by the fact that they are asleep, Ronzel can't be the last...... Therefore, he must have a special ...... And this peculiarity is likely to have been imposed on him by Russell or the "Seal of Calamity".
Abner observed it with his "white eyes" for a moment, then asked Edwina to borrow the notebook she had obtained from Ronzel's house and put it on the sleeping Ronzel's chest.
Immediately after, dreamlike symbols flashed from the book, merging into Longzel's body, and then opening a door between the unreal and the real above him.
"Another door?" Klein glanced at the "door" a few times, and said uncertainly, "This seems to lead to a dream...... No, subconscious sea ...... to be exact"
"This book contains his family's thoughts about him, so it can lead us into his dreams...... I'm afraid that what Russell is really hiding is connected to the soldier's dreams. ”
It should be the kingdom of the "dragon of utopia", right? Will it be the same as in the original book?
Abner analyzed this, and saw that the door seemed to be becoming more and more blurred, so he hurriedly took out a card and whispered: "Blue-eyed white dragon."
Immediately after, a massive cyan dragon appeared in the spacious cavern.
Instead of revealing it for what it was, Abner added a layer of illusion "filters" to prevent Adevina from losing control by looking directly at the semi-mythical form.
As for Crane, he should be able to see the Bone Dragon prototype with the true vision of the "Source Castle", but it would not be much of a problem to see it above the gray mist.
Abner mounted on the dragon's back and said to the other two, "Come on, it's safer to ride him through dreams." ”
"Blue-eyed white dragon?" Crane chewed on the name behind the dragon.
Although it is Hermesian, it should be true that meaning......
