Chapter 36: The Gold Swallowing Beast
Happy New Year, everyone~~~ said that the first watch of the three more of haode is coming, and it feels like the whole person has been squeezed dry, and there are two more, 5555, I will continue to work hard***
Ryses tilted his head, then let out two short snorts at Deirlando, "Coo." ”
"Poof......" Dearlandor was amused by the seemingly serious look on the young dragon's face, "What do you mean?
Reseth nodded, and patted Deirlando's palm with his paw.
"Haha, are you high-fived as an oath? you're going to be a good dragon?" Dearlandor was touched by the young dragon's thoughtful gesture, and gently stroked Ryses's head with his fingers.
"Alas, I'm so useless, I'm so sentimental and feel the need for a baby dragon to comfort me. It's not my style at all~" Dearlando shook his head, shaking off the negative emotions.
Since being reborn with Reseth, he has been deliberately ignoring all kinds of great changes physically, liliang, and mentally, and he has not dared to face them, pretending that everything is the same as before. But with the accumulation of time, the reality finally came to the surface, which cannot be ignored or escaped.
The rhetoric he made in the Dragon Realm was like an exam for which he had not prepared at all, and when the test questions were placed in front of him, he realized that his mind was empty and he couldn't think of any answers. What's even more terrifying is that if you fail this exam, you will not face a scolding from your father, but the destruction of countless living beings.
The young dragon's comfort, simple and sincere, gave Dearlando courage and confidence again. The future is created by oneself, and oneself has abilities, and that is because it is necessary to rely on these abilities to create a more haode future. Even if it's different from ordinary people, as long as you keep a human heart, you're still yourself, and worrying about whether you've become a monster is purely asking for trouble.
Resace felt Diarlando's mood perk up again, purred happily, and lowered his head in confidence and began to eat the gem. Dearrando looked at Reseth, who was eating very sweetly, and suddenly said, "Why don't we get the Ring of Grudd, that thing looks like it has a lot of energy, it should taste good?"
"Purr~~" The young dragon happily jumped on Deirlando's shoulder and rubbed against his neck.
"But I don't know where the ring is right now, let's go back first and figure out where it is!"
Rysis nodded solemnly in agreement, which made Dearrando happy. However, they were still crouching in the secret passage at the moment, and Deirlando immediately carefully covered his mouth, lest someone outside pass by and suddenly hear laughter coming from the wall.
After laughing enough, Diarrando did not go out of the second way out that Holm had told him, but returned the same way, groping for the structure of the secret passage as he went. Observing along the way, I found that the secret passage with more than three floors should have been quietly made after the main body of the castle was built.
In some places there are remnants of some particularly soft rocks, which seem to have been deliberately built into the walls by someone when they were built, and then quietly dug up, leaving these smaller passages.
Along the way, Dearlando also inspected those peepholes, although the city of black lead is not small, but there are not many people in it, especially the right tower, which is generally used for guests to live, almost most of the rooms are empty. It took about half an hour for Dearrando to finally get back to Kenda's room.
After coming out of the secret passage, Diarlando immediately carefully restored everything to its original state, and then summoned Fayir. At the moment, those tiny bugs don't know where to go to the castle, and they don't know what they can do, and they have to consult the authentic Bran to find an answer.
After finding Fayer's magic pulse from the dragon's field of vision and activating the dragon's blood ring on his body, Deirlandor brought the Demon Sealing Bracers back up. I have used a lot of dragons in a series just now, and if I don't control it, I estimate that my eyes are going to change again.
Fayle's figure soon appeared with a puff of smoke, and using the dragon's magic as an anchor point, he could easily find Diarlando with short-distance teleportation magic. At this moment, the former Archmage of Bran appeared in front of Deirlando, dressed as a traveler.
"Zoya, are they leaving, why are you dressed like this?" said Master Dearlando, who took off a slender wrap and a hat to cover the sun, and ran to the table to pour water and drink, and asked curiously.
"Well, they left early in the morning. I told the others that I had something to do nearby, so after going out of town with them, I went around in circles and waited for you in the nearby mountains. What is the matter with summoning me?
"There's nothing new about Long Jin for the time being, but I noticed that Miss Pith's two personal maids also have problems, and guess who is the boss behind them?" After crawling in the secret passage for a long time, Diarrando was also hungry and thirsty, and when he saw Fayer's movements, he also ran to the table, poured a glass of water and drank it.
Fayle frowned and asked, "Who?"
"Zanaya Frey. Diarlando reported the name of the old acquaintance, and unsurprisingly saw Fayle look surprised.
Surprised for a moment, and then turned into realization, Fayl nodded and said, "That makes sense, that old fox is probably the most active person on this continent to deal with Bran." Do you know what our agreement was: we will help Prince Hirey inherit the throne, and then let his daughter be the future queen and rule all of Turanda together. ”
"I see. "Dearlando expected that Duke Zanaya must have enough benefits to make a move, but he didn't expect it to be such a jihua. But that's all in the past, and Helley Birmington is dead, and the issue can be put aside.
So Diarlando continued to talk about what he had just seen and heard: "I heard Jihua, the reason why they are here is to want the Ring of Grud to liberate some gold devouring beast. What is a Gold Eater? I think you mentioned a Gold Eater earlier?"
"What! there's a Gold Eater here??" Fayl exclaimed in rare surprise, a hint of surprise on his face.
Diarrando held a teacup and made a gesture of what I was listening to, waiting for the mage to explain. Fayer struggled for a moment, but still opened his mouth to tell the truth.
"The Gold Eater was originally a mineral-feeding bug that the dwarves discovered and domesticated when they were mining, and used their own magic to apply to this creature, allowing them to drill through the land in search of good veins. ”
"So that kind of thing that flies around and bites people everywhere was originally just an exclusive survey pet for the dwarves?"
Fayer immediately refuted Deirlandor's speculation: "No, a normal gold-swallowing bug is a small gray bug no more than a finger long, instinctively chasing precious minerals underground. The resentful creatures we see are the resentful creatures of the dead dwarves attached to them, and they are hardly the same thing as ordinary ones. ”
"Okay, what is the Gold Swallowing Beast?
It was rare that Fayer did not despise Deirlandor's stupid speculation, and shook his head and said, "The Gold Eater is a greedy gold-loving magical creature. It will also sniff out valuable minerals everywhere, but when it finds it, it will devour them directly, turning those metal ores into a part of itself. ”
Diarrando imagined it for a moment, and then asked, "So that thing swallows gold and becomes gold itself?" Or does it swallow gold and pull out ordinary rocks?"
With a "snap", Fayle's cup cracked, splashing all over his body. The mage controlled his emotions, put the broken cup back on the table next to him, and calmed down for a moment before saying, "It only swallows, not pulls! The more things it swallows, the larger it becomes! And every time it swallows a metal, it has the properties of that metal." ”
"If you say...... If it swallows dragon gold, won't it become a huge piece of dragon gold?And weishenme has never heard of such a thing before?" Diarlandor asked Fayle in wonder, there is no reason why the whole continent is just like this, even if there is only one, it shouldn't be unrecorded.
Fair frowned and thought for a moment how to answer Dierlando's question, Zuihou had to start from the beginning: "First of all, the Gold Swallower is not a good thing, and if you have it, the entire vein will be eaten quickly, so the dwarves will find a way to eradicate it once they find it, so even in Bran it is becoming less and less." ”
"Second, although the metal swallowed can flow everywhere in its body, it will not increase the amount of the original amount or the amount of it. With the rarity of dragon gold, even if there is, it is about the size of a pumpkin. ”
"As for weishenme, you haven't heard of it, I think you still have to ask your dragon how much it cleared when it erased everyone's memory. ”
Ignoring Fayer's cynicism, Dearlando thought for a moment and asked a crucial question: "What should the Gold Eater look like, and how can I get rid of it?"
Fair was also worried, he shook his head and sighed, "I have never seen a living gold devourer, listening to the dwarf's description, it seems that it should be covered with ore and metal blocks like an earth elemental djinn, but the appearance of the gold devouring beast seen in the legends of various places seems to be different, I guess it has something to do with the different things it eats." ”
"As for the way to get rid of it...... Fayle glanced at Diarlando, and Zuihou still decided to say it: "The Dragon Flame Spear of the Demon Dragon King can directly bombard it, and the intense high temperature can melt all the varieties of metal in its body at the same time, and it seems that it can also kill it." ”
Deirlando stared at Fair thoughtfully, and only after a while did he speak, he didn't discuss the question of whether the starlight dragon between the two had a disagreement with burned a dwarven family, but asked, "What is the melting temperature of dragon gold?"
Fayle opened his mouth, his face suddenly turning ugly. Dragon Gold itself is a metal that can be transformed between liquids and solids by magic excitation, and even when it is purified by the lava with the highest flame temperature, it only separates the Dragon Gold metal from other impurities, and never melts it.
No matter how high the temperature is, the color of dragon gold is a faint champagne gold, the liquid looks like golden mercury, and the solid looks like thin dragon scales stacked on top of each other.
“...... My lava technique can melt granite into flowing lava, but it doesn't make Dragongold look like it's glowing and hot, let alone melting. Fayle paused for a moment, then spoke dryly about the harsh reality.
