Chapter 517: Black Dragon Augustus
Uzhov and Mel set out together on a hunt. These days, in addition to the food to be provided to everyone, there is also the black dragon that comes to fight the autumn wind from time to time. The huge consumption forced the two of them to hunt all the animals nearby, and even the monsters slaughtered a few.
Because the rifle and box provided by a certain magician were really too powerful, the most troublesome part of the hunt for the two of them was the process of transporting the prey. What search or hunting is not a big problem. But because there were no creatures nearby, they had to walk a long distance to hunt before they could see creatures that had a way to move in the snow.
Several times, they tried to find the black dragon that had stolen the food and slaughter it. But the other party is as if it does not exist, and does not appear in the search range of the rifle. And these days are about to leave, and the thing to do is, of course, to stock up on more food. So Uzhov and Margaret set off again.
Looking at his fellow Dark Elves beside him, wrapping his body tightly, Uzov remembered the little trouble he had encountered when he first started hunting together. Most of the races that claim to be cursed by the sun are afraid to walk in the daytime. This is still Margarine's courage enough, a big cloak and a hood, dare to wave around.
However, when she encountered a demonic beast a few times and had to fight closely, she was in danger when she was difficult to use her hands and feet. It was also the same that Uzov found out about the problem and turned to the two magicians for help, although at first she was reluctant.
The knowledgeable lich was not too quick to judge, but another magician who kept working miracles - Lin's actions, which were no different from miracles in the eyes of Uzov,—— were followed by some strange behavior. It's like drawing blood, choking a woman's wrist, looking at the eyes, and looking at the depths of the throat, all of which make people scratch their heads.
But that's it, and it also made him make a judgment, saying, "Don't worry, it's not a curse." This is only because of the long period of living underground, without sunlight. This is caused by a lack of essential pigment in the skin, despite having a darker complexion. It will be painful to shine in the sun, but it is just a more serious sunburn, and it will not be fatal. Shine in the sun and get used to it. Then again, your setting is a bit like the dark elves of the Feron Continent. It's just that everyone has seen too much of the Twin Knife Ranger, and they have forgotten that the dark elves are not used to lying on the surface and left. And are they for the same reason? ”
Although I couldn't understand the meaning of most of the words, I didn't know where the Faeron continent was, and I didn't know which of the Twin Blade Ranger might be the characters mentioned by the magician. But in the discourse, there are still a few key sentences that people can understand.
First of all, it's not a curse. second, sunburn; Third, it's good to get used to it.
Although the Dark Elf Lady who followed her was still skeptical, she was much more daring in her actions during the day. At least with the help of her druid spells, Uzov's hunt went a lot smoother.
The pain that Mel felt from time to time was seen by her as a kind of tempering that had been given. After all, as the man said, the sting pain that lasted for a long time when exposed to the sun did not make him unable to move, and he was always able to recover.
Originally, she would also carry a crossbow and try to help with the hunt. But after a few days, she went out with only a close-quarters weapon. And most of the time, it's just to help with rough handling of prey on the spot. The few crises she encountered were all sudden sneaking demonic beasts, disappearing from the search map, and launching a surprise attack, which put her in crisis.
Under the obscene power of the box cut, the iron yak monster, which is known as invulnerable, was directly cut in two. If it weren't for the sword's personality, Mer would have wanted to snatch it back and worship it as an artifact in the clan. She really didn't dare. As the legend goes, those who can use this noisy weapon are indeed extraordinary people.
However, this crisis also made the two who went out hunting understand what the magician warned before the two left: the rifle is just a prototype, there are always incompleteness, and you must still be cautious when you go out.
Monsters that know how to conceal their aura will disappear from the search map, a flaw that has been told to the magician. He was just busy repairing the airship and didn't have time to improve the design of the rifle, so the magician only asked the two of them to be more careful.
In fact, for Lin, he only needed to change the Seeking mode to find enemies in other ways, but that was only a feature on the larger Arcane Eye. The ultra-small Arcane Eye attached to the rifle only has a single homing mode, and there are no plans to improve it for the time being, because it is really too busy.
When it was time to leave, everyone didn't seem to think about the possibility of failing to repair the airship. On the contrary, there is an indescribable excitement to be able to leave this snowy mountain area as soon as possible. At the foot of the mountain, it should be the time when the spring flowers bloom.
The Underworld is hot and stuffy compared to the surface. The newcomer is a freshness in addition to being uncomfortable. In particular, the flowing wind is something that the underground world has never felt before. But the snow scene on the mountain, except for the first glance when you think it is beautiful, the rest of the time is complaining about the ghost weather. It's the same for everyone. Wanting to leave quickly is the common voice of everyone.
However, just as Uzov and Marzhin were once again packing up their prey and preparing to return home, an anomalous spot of light appeared on the search map, which alerted them.
Due to the grading and color separation of light points, it is according to the standard of magic stones, and it is also said to be the color of the rainbow. In this snow-covered mountain forest, the two of them only saw a demonic beast that was close to turquoise. That time, he was touched by a sneaking demonic beast and almost confessed to this mountain forest. qq
This time, what they saw was a dark blue point of light, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was purple. Demonic beasts of this level all have the qualifications to compete for the natural throne of this land. Most likely, of course, it is the black dragon.
The dark blue dots of light are quite close to the location where the airship is being repaired. However, the weapon that might be able to break through the black dragon scale armor was in his own hands. After realizing this, the two abandoned the prey they were carrying on their shoulders and ran back in the snow as best they could.
As they walked out of the forest and into the large clearing where the airship had been repaired, they were greeted by a thin and mutilated black dragon. But the sheer size, the figure looking down, and the aura from the dragons, each made those who witnessed it tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and this saying is also fascinating. But looking at the behemoth in front of him, Uzov also had to admit that the crippled black dragon was stronger than a human. Just because of his size, he doesn't feel that he has the certainty of being alone when he holds the box.
And the magician, standing in front of the black dragon, stood with his head held high, fearless.
"Ignorant humans." The black dragon raised the forelimb of only one finger on its left side, pointed at Lin, and said in a bell-like voice in the lingua franca of the earth, "I really didn't expect that a fool like you would leave that kind of unclear message. ”
"I didn't expect you to show up." Someone smiled a little awkwardly. And behind him, there are others led by Fin. After all, facing a black dragon is not a trivial matter, and no one can sit still.
"As the Lord of Darkness, I will not leave this lonely land. But I hope you can take this little thing with me. My generation is a proud and powerful seed, and this son is not even qualified to be an emergency ration, so he should not stay in this cruel land where the law of the jungle eats the strong. As he spoke, the black dragon pushed out a human child at its feet.
However, the child, who looked no more than three or four years old, was quite attached to the black dragon. Despite being pushed away, he ran back and hugged the black dragon's thick legs.
Seeing a human child following the black dragon, Lin said with some surprise: "I didn't expect to see you, let alone this little thing." What about his parents? ”
"Are we dragons who care about such mundane things? I saw this son lying in the snow, alone. Rather than easily dying in the wolf's mouth, it is better to collect it by the side and enjoy it. However, this son stinks unspeakably, and is as noble as me, how can he leave such a slut clan, defile my snort, and defile what I see. ”
"It's okay to take him away. But I'm mainly looking for you. You won't forget that. Lin said.
"Hmph." The black dragon used his relatively intact hand, pressed his lowered head, looked at the human in front of him with contemptuous eyes, and said, "What do you want from the weak?" This old and crippled body? Dragon's tooth and dragon claw? Or do you want to be like the legendary heroes, bathed in dragon blood and make themselves invulnerable? ”
After laughing twice, Lin Xian changed the topic and said, "Talking to you with my head up like this, my neck is a little sore." Do you use humanized magic? I'd like to talk about it well. ”
After a moment of silence, the black dragon opened his mouth and spat out a hurried language that no one could understand. Immediately, the wandering power on this mountain was like a whirlpool, concentrating towards the black dragon in the center, and an actual snowstorm was raised.
When the wind and snow settled, the huge body of the black dragon had disappeared without a trace. And in the center of the wind and snow, there was a tall old man with gray hair. One-eyed, lame, with a broken palm, a skinny, skinny body.
The child who was originally following the black dragon's feet was startled at first. But after sniffing and smelling the smell of the habit, he pounced on it again and hugged the right leg of the black dragon who had become an old man.
"Say, weak human. Augustus, the great and noble Lord of the Dark, has heard of your humble desires. Take advantage of this precious opportunity that you may not encounter once in your life. ”
For the black dragon's words, someone only felt a wave of shame coming. But to be honest, inexplicably not annoying. And in the natural freezer where I keep food outdoors, I put a wooden sign that reads "I will leave, whether I will go with me", which can be regarded as the intention of the invitation: "I want to learn dragon magic." ”
Come to the world of magic, and there are dragons, why not try to see the so-called 'dragon magic'.
