Chapter 133: Dragon's Tomb
Luke didn't care if Inspector Red Fox guessed his identity or not, he knew that this guy was a suspicious and cautious person, and even if he guessed anything, he wouldn't dare to say anything.
Without this guy making trouble next to him, he should be able to sleep peacefully tonight, and when he enters the depths of the Dragon Kingdom tomorrow, he won't have such a comfortable house to live in.
Luke didn't go out for a stroll, and went to bed when he was sleepy from reading.
The next day, the same car stopped in front of the hotel, but the same two strong men were not the same faces as yesterday. When they saw Luke coming out, they immediately opened the car door and saluted respectfully: "My lord, your team has been formed, they are waiting for you outside the town." ”
Luke got into the car and stretched out his hand to give the strong man who closed the door a hundred marks: "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, go buy me two bagels and a cup of coffee, and the rest of the money is yours." ”
"It's an honor to serve you." The strong man happily took the money, and ran to the fast food truck on the side of the road to buy breakfast.
While waiting, Luke asked another strong man, "How many people are in the escort team?" ”
The strong man was already sitting in the driver's seat, and he answered Luke's question without concealment: "There are eleven people in total, all of them are adventurers specially selected by our boss for you. They all have multiple experiences of safely entering and exiting the Dragon Kingdom and are guaranteed to escort you to your destination. ”
"Who's leading the way?"
"It's Miss Eiffel."
"The chick?" Luke said disdainfully: "It looks like a beautiful vase, our trip is very dangerous, I don't want women in the team." ”
"Don't underestimate Miss Eiffel, my lord, she's a very good jungle hunter. She was once chased by a dragon, only to escape unscathed.
Her detection skills and anti-tracking skills are a guarantee of the safety of the entire team. ”
"I'm going to see if this woman is as powerful as you say......"
Luke asked about the rest of the group.
When the burly man who bought breakfast returned to the car, Luke had an idea of the general situation of the group.
After meeting these people outside the town, he was able to match the information he had obtained.
Five sturdy wrestlers are responsible for carrying the entire team's luggage.
Two thieves who are proficient in stealth skills are in charge of finding their way out.
A mage provides the necessary magical support to the team.
Three jungle hunters deal with urgent contingencies.
There are eleven people in the team, and Eiffel is the leader of the team, who is responsible for the marching and rest arrangements of the whole team.
A pretty standard forest adventure team.
Being able to keep this team in such a short period of time in a startable state also reflects the ability and strength of the Dragon Country Club.
The car dropped Luke off and left.
Luke walked up to Eiffel, looked at the woman in the jungle hunting costume, and teased, "I didn't think about it yesterday, and I shouldn't have asked your boss if you would like to join the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
Now that your boss is gone, can I get a different answer to the same question? ”
Eiffel smiled professionally and said, "I'm afraid I'm still disappointing you, Agent Luke." My answer is inconvenient, and I still want to like my current life. ”
"There was a bit of a disappointment. But we have a lot of time together during this journey, and maybe when we come back, you will change your mind. ”
Luke's stubborn stalking made Eiffel put away his smile: "Detective...... Let's go. If all goes well, you'll be able to get to a secluded makeshift camp at night, where it's safer to stay than to sleep in the wilderness. ”
"Listen to you, let's go."
"Please be sure not to leave the middle of the group, in the forests of the Dragon Kingdom, plant-based magical beasts are more deadly than animal-based magic." After warning Luke, Eiffel turned and ordered the team to move forward.
The two thieves jumped up from where they were sitting and quickly disappeared into the jungle, one left and one right.
After a while, the rhythmic birdsong sounded.
That's when the whole adventuring party got into action.
The wrestlers lined up with heavy packages, the magician accompanied Eiffel and Luke at the end of the line, and the other two jungle hunters scattered to the wings and marched alongside the group.
Walking in the jungle of the Dragon Kingdom, Luke couldn't help but think of the old days of play.
In the Anno game, in order to farm materials, Luke has been in and out of the Dragon Kingdom many times. It's just that at that time, they were all flying high and high in the sky, and it was the first time to enter the dragon kingdom from the ground like this.
The forests of the Dragon Kingdom are full of magical colors, and they are full of glowing floats. So even though the sky is obscured by the tall forest, the forest is still illuminated by colorful lights. There are also those magical beasts that are born with all kinds of spells, and when they appear, people will ignore their danger and be shocked by their beauty.
Their fur is sought after by some wealthy people.
The high bounty quest attracts many adventurers to come to the Dragon Kingdom to hunt Warcraft.
Eiffel's adventurous team demonstrated their professionalism to Luke with their actions. Even in unfamiliar places, they can determine the direction of the dragon's lair through the traces they find, as well as powerful and aggressive monsters.
The route given by Luke is straight, but the real walk is very tortuous.
But it's very comfortable.
There is no need to sneak into the dragon's lair to steal treasures, no need to hunt demonic beasts, just avoid them, it is like an outing for these adventurers.
For a while, Luke thought that this place was not a dragon country, because sometimes there was no trace of the dragon for a day.
Just walked and stopped, trekked through mountains and rivers, and flew from the air for a day, they walked for nearly a month.
Luke also finished the last wood carving.
Eiffel, who was holding a kettle to drink water, finally couldn't help but ask: "Along the way, you have been making wood carvings, is it any use?" ”
Luke carved the tail feathers of a goshawk as he walked, and when he heard Eiffel's inquiry, he replied, "It's just a personal hobby out of boredom." I thought there would be some beautiful stories going on with beautiful women, but nothing happened.
Maybe the adventure stories I heard were all fake, so I could only make wood carvings of the monsters I saw and take them back as souvenirs.
Do you think my ice goshawk is exactly the same as the real thing? ”
Eiffel had seen what Luke's goshawk looked like, and she couldn't find any resemblance to a goshawk from something that she couldn't tell what kind of chicken it was.
But this is the gold master.
"Very expressive! It's as if as soon as you let go, it will fly away. ”
Luke was very impressed by Eiffel's compliment: "I learned carving from a master carver. Although my work is a bit different from that of the masters, it can be considered a good work of art.
In addition to the Ice Goshawk, I also carved the Stone Pig in Armor, the Blue Flame Red-Eyed Rabbit, and many more...... Would you like to pick one? ”
"No!" Eiffel immediately refused, she really couldn't appreciate the abstract style of sculpture. Afraid that Luke would shoehorn himself in, Eiffel changed the subject and asked, "Didn't you say that we have reached our destination, where is the Dragon Tomb?" ”
Luke looked around, and the team was walking on the ridge of a mountain range. There are no trees, just rocks and sparse weeds. In the distance, there is a forest that rises and falls along with the mountains and valley floors.
"Like you, it's the first time I've gone so far into the Dragon Kingdom. Look at this mountain range, it's the only place where there are no trees, like ...... The dragon's back.
At our feet is the Dragon's Tomb, and we need to find the hole to enter the Dragon's Tomb. ”
As he spoke, a thief came up from the bottom of the hill panting.
He gasped and said excitedly, "Found it...... We've found the entrance to the Dragon's Tomb. ”
Eiffel asked, "Are you sure it's the entrance to the Dragon's Tomb?" ”
"It must be the entrance to the Dragon's Tomb." The thief replied in the affirmative.
"Take us there!"
Eiffel gave the order, and the whole team followed the thieves down the hill.
When they saw the entrance to the Dragon Tomb that the thieves said, everyone thought that this must be the entrance to the Dragon Tomb.
Because the entrance is a huge dragon head, and the mountain is the fossilized remains of a giant dragon.
It's hard to imagine how spectacular this mountain-like dragon would have been when it was alive. Not to mention that people are as small as ants standing at the foot of the dragon mountain, even if a giant dragon is placed here, it is just a large grasshopper.
"Is there really ever a dragon of this size in this world? Or does the mountain coincidentally resemble a dragon? ”
Eiffel looked up at the dragon's head and muttered questions.
Luke was the first to walk towards the dragon's head's open mouth: "If this is a mountain, then there must be a great sculptor who carved it in the shape of a dragon." I'm leaning toward this was once a living dragon, like the World Tree.
We are not here to find out where this dragon came from, but to take something of value from here.
Be careful, there may be dragons waiting for death to come. They are old, but they are still powerful enough to destroy us easily. ”
Luke's reminder keeps adventurers from continuing to reverie under the dragon's head.
Eiffel ordered two wrestlers and a thief to stay on guard outside, and she led the others to quickly enter through the dragon's mouth and chase Luke away.
Entering the faucet, there is a long stone road with a long neck.
As the light dimmers, adventurers had to turn on the magic light source to illuminate their surroundings.
The dragon's remains were completely petrified, and Eiffel knocked down a stone from the mountain wall, and when he found that it was, he threw it aside.
Eiffel sent a magic lamp forward to illuminate the way, and after walking for a while, he asked Luke, "From the inside, this is an ordinary underground cave, and there is no trace of a dragon living there." I suddenly had a bad feeling that if I ...... The dragons are dead, and their remains have been reduced to ordinary stones, so why don't we go back empty-handed? ”
"Go back empty-handed? My 11 million Reichsmarks for labor will be given to you regardless of whether you get it or not. Luke picked up a stone from the ground and knocked on the stone wall, which made a pleasant sound: "This is just the neck of the dragon, the old dragon will not die here when he dies."
Let's go, there's definitely a lot of room in there, we'......
What people are there! ”
Luke paused as he spoke, and he pulled out his wand and pointed it in one direction, the tip of the wand highlighted, and the beam of light emitted shone on a stone wall.
Nothing!
Eiffel nervously asked, "What do you see?" ”
Luke withdrew his wand and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm dazzled." ”
Eiffel looked at the position just now, there was really nothing.
"Let's keep walking. Agent Luke, stay with me and don't leave our protection. ”
Luke returned to his place and walked deeper under the protection of the adventurers.
No one saw that Luke had just taken advantage of everyone's attention to take out his carved ice cube goshawk and threw it on the ground.
The team walked away, and darkness reigned again.
A soft light floated from the ground, and the light enveloped the Ice Goshawk. The hardened wood carvings softened, and the wooden wings flapped. An abstract version of the Ice Goshawk seemed to come to life, opening its mouth to let out a small dragon's breath before flapping its wings and flying.
The light vanished from the body of the carved wooden goshawk, and darkness reigned again.
A tiny dragon's breath flashed in an instant, and the Ice Goshawk recognized the direction and chased after the adventurer's team.
Luke followed the group forward, walking across his neck and into his abdomen.
It's an extremely open underground space, and the remains of the dead dragons are finally seen.
The remains of the dragon were piled up into a small hill, and the remains underneath were completely petrified into ordinary stones, and upwards were the different states of the dragon's death at different times. On the top floor were a few newly dead dragons, their bodies not yet corrupted or petrified, lying there as if they were asleep.
Get rich!
Get rich!
This is the sentiment shared by all adventurers.
The dragon's whole body is full of treasures! Not to mention how much wealth the newly dead dragon can bring, even those dragon bones that have not yet been petrified are the best alchemy materials that are hard to find.
And it doesn't seem to be guarded here, it's just as much as you want.
It's just such an important place, why is there no guard? You must know that there is an iron law for adventurers, the greater the wealth, the higher the danger. I didn't encounter any decent dangers along the way, and now entering the Dragon Tomb is as easy as shopping.
This is so counterintuitive.
Although the adventurers were amazed at what they saw, none of them approached the mountain of dragons' corpses, afraid that something would suddenly pop out at the end.
Eiffel also felt that the task was easy, and he was too sorry for the 11 million Reichsmarks.
"Agent Luke, we've found the Dragon's Grave. Whatever you want, you go and get it yourself, and then we will escort you back to Jinjing Town. ”
Eiffel wants Luke to go to Ray.
If there is danger, kill him one.
If there is no danger, does he take more things alone than eleven?
Luke didn't seem to notice Eiffel's trick as he strode up the mountain of dragon's corpses.
The adventurers stared at him closely, mindfully taking every step he took.
Then they saw something fall off Luke's body.
It was a wood carving he had carved on the road, based on a monitor lizard he had seen in a mud puddle somewhere.
The monitor lizard wood carving rolled down the mountain of dragon corpses, making a crisp sound as it hit the petrified dragon bones.
Soon the monitor lizard wood carvings rolled to the feet of the adventurers.
Eiffel shouted to Luke, who was walking up, "Agent Luke, your wood carving has fallen. ”
Luke didn't look back: "You can help me collect it." ”
"Okay, Agent Luke!" Eiffel agreed, and bent down to pick up the wood carvings.
But a cloud of light floated from the ground and enveloped the wood carving.
The woodcarved monitor lizard instantly activated, and it bit Eiffel's hand in one bite...... (End of chapter)
