Chapter 2: Legends
Dick hastily tended to the wounds on his body and explored the depths of the Red Dragon Cave.
The cavern where Tyragher of Rage lives is very large even for the size of a dragon. But in such a huge grotto, most of it was piled with gold and silver vessels, gold coins and gems, as well as coral agate, glazed jade, and all kinds of magical materials. The whole cave is a treasure as far as the eye can see!
Get rich!
Even though Dick had a lot of self-control, he couldn't help but be overjoyed at the moment. The deeper he went, the more treasures he could see, and roughly estimated that they were worth at least ten years of tax revenue in his three provinces.
In fact, not counting these treasures, the corpse of a red dragon alone is worth a lot of money, the dragon is a creature that can be described as a treasure all over the body, dragon scales are the best materials for making armor, dragon claws and dragon horns can be used to cast divine weapons, dragon blood can be used to make potions or magic scrolls, and dragon bones and dragon eyes are also the best magic materials. Of course, the most precious thing is the crystal nucleus in the dragon's skull, if the dragon crystal is in the hands of a famous craftsman, it can even have the opportunity to cast an artifact!
Dick was already figuring out how to transport the treasures.
At that moment, his mind remembered the slightly hoarse magnetic voice of Dimichra: "Boy, don't focus on these ordinary goods. I can feel that, right in front of you, there is a real treasure. โ
Dick immediately turned his head to see that in front of him to the right was a huge statue of an angel, made of pure gold, with both feet buried in the pile of gold coins, but it was still evident that he was half-kneeling, his wings outstretched, and a gold tray carved with delicate patterns in his hands.
Dick took two steps closer and realized that on top of the delicate tray lay a prismatic purple gem. The gemstone is crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, and exudes a faint purple glow throughout.
Dick reached out to take the gem into his hand and look at it carefully. But at this moment, he suddenly had an alarm, almost subconsciously, and Dick immediately turned his body, and at the same time pulled out the Netherworld Sword behind his back to block it.
A middle-aged man dressed in black, holding a stabbing sword, had reached his back at some point, he was emaciated, his face was gloomy and pale, his eyes were fierce, and the stabbing sword in his hand was mercilessly stabbed at Dick, straight to the heart.
Dick hurriedly swung his sword to block, but the middle-aged man's stabbing sword was fast and fierce, and the strength was amazing, the first sword shook Dick's right palm, the second sword, Dick's tiger's mouth cracked, and the third sword, the Nether Demon Sword had already flown out of his hand, and shot into the distance like a black meteor, stabbing into the rock wall of the cave with a ding.
Dick was shocked, he was able to fly his blade within three moves, and the middle-aged man in front of him had at least the cultivation of a dragon knight!
"Dimihera, lend me Liliang!" Dick called out in his heart.
The middle-aged man's fourth sword had already stabbed, and the sword momentum blocked all the retreats of Dick in front and behind, but the black mist rolled, and the condensed black wings stretched slightly, and Dick flew into the air to avoid this sword. At the same time, with a flick of his right hand, the Demon Sword Nether in the distance broke away from the rock wall and flew back to Dick's hand.
"Who are you, Weishenme is going to attack me?" Dick stood high in the sky, his blood-red eyes staring coldly at the middle-aged man below, and asked sharply.
"Because you took what belongs to me. The middle-aged man dressed in black said coldly.
"I killed this dragon, why should I say it's yours?" said Dick angrily.
The middle-aged man in black's face became even more gloomy, and he didn't speak for a long time, and then stabbed his sword: "Less nonsense, let's do it!"
Dick sneered: "I know that I am at a loss, so I have to use strong?"
The middle-aged man leaped forward, and the man in the air struck Dick with a sword in hand. Dick sneered, his left hand was like a knife, and with a slight slash in the air, a huge three-meter-long meniscus-shaped spatial crack immediately formed in front of him, shooting towards the middle-aged man who was in the air and couldn't dodge.
"Great Dimensional Slash" and "Dimensional Storm" are the same level of magic, Dick was able to instantaneously send out a dimensional storm with the help of Dimihera's Liliang in the battle with Badajoth, and at this moment, he can naturally also instantaneously use the Great Dimensional Slash.
"Space Great Magic!" the middle-aged man exclaimed, his face full of horror, but the others had already jumped up in the air, and there was no way to dodge at all, so he had no choice but to raise the fighting spirit of his whole body and inject the stabbing sword in his hand, and block the stabbing sword in front of him.
There was a loud bang, accompanied by a burst of energy fluctuations. The middle-aged man blocked the dimensional slash, but the huge impact still knocked him backwards and flew out, and with a bang, he slammed into the rock wall of the cave.
When the middle-aged man struggled to crawl out of the cave, he saw that another Great Dimensional Slash had been condensed and formed in Dick's hands, and what made him even more frightened was that the person in front of him was still chanting a spell!
"Please wait, Your Excellency, I think there should be a bit of a misunderstanding between us, please listen to my explanation......" the middle-aged man said with an anxious face.
Misunderstand?
Dick replied to him, that is, he threw out the Great Dimensional Slash with a flick of his hand, the middle-aged man was shocked and frightened, he raised his whole body and waved the stabbing sword in his hand, and a crescent-shaped Fighting Qi Blade was sent out by him, facing the flying Great Dimensional Slash.
With a loud bang, the Douqi Blade shattered and collapsed, and the size of the Great Dimension Slash became much smaller, but there was still a length of nearly a meter left, and the middle-aged man once again blocked him with a stabbing sword. Dick's first Great Dimensional Slash had actually caused a slight crack in the sword, and at this moment, the second Great Dimensional Slash struck, and the sword was finally overwhelmed, breaking into two sections under the power of the Dimensional Slash.
Dick simply stopped chanting the spell of the "Nether Dragonlord" and only used his magic power to condense the Great Dimensional Slash. The dragon knight in front of him is only three or four levels at most, and he may be good at assassination and sneak attacks. Dick even suspected that if he hadn't attacked him and had fought him head-on, giving himself enough time to maneuver and recite incantations, he would have at least been able to draw with him without the help of Dimihera's liliang. The "Netherworld Dragon King" was too wasteful to use on him.
In the blink of an eye, the third Great Dimensional Slash had been condensed in Dick's hands.
The middle-aged man in black finally panicked, and he shouted, "You can't kill me! I'm Hemerson! My teacher is the Shadow Sword Saint Ucdes!"
Dick's movements were sudden, and the third Great Dimension Slash that was ready to be launched was also taken back by him. The Shadow Sword Saint Ukdez ranks seventh among the top ten sword saints in the mainland, and his strength is undoubted, and he is now serving the Mirรณ royal family, and was named a national teacher by Edward VII, enjoying the title of prince. Whether it is strength or status, it is not something that you can provoke.
Dick flapped his demon's wings and slowly landed on the ground, his Nether Sword in one hand and the Great Dimension Slash in the other, slowly approaching Hemerson.
"You...... What do you want to do?" said Hemerson's tone with horror.
"Say, you're going to attack me?" Dick said coldly.
"This ......," Hemerson said, hesitating.
With a clang, the magic sword Nether stabbed against Hemerson's neck into the rock wall behind him. "Tell me the truth! If I dare to cheat in the slightest, my sword will not be so accurate. โ
"Okay, I said, don't get excited. Heimerson hurriedly said, "Have you noticed that the red dragon was injured before the battle with you, and I am the one who wounded him......"
"Oh, I see, then your purpose in attacking this red dragon and sneaking up on me is for that gem. Dick leaned closer.
"Yes...... Yes, you can take the rest of the treasure, can you ...... that gem?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I killed the dragon, and of course I'll dispose of the rest of the treasures!" Dick said angrily, and Hemerson immediately shrank in fright.
Dick asked, "Tell me the truth, what is the purpose of that gem, don't tell me you don't know!"
"This ...... It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise me one condition......" Heimerson said hesitantly.
"Do you dare to make conditions?" Dick sneered, "Your Excellency Hemerson, you didn't have any room when you attacked me just now, and now you expect me to let you go easily?tell me!, or I'll kill you with a sword right now!" Dick sneered and pretended to be elegant at first, but the further he went, the more merciless his words became, and when he said Zuihou, he almost used a roar.
Heimerson's face turned extremely pale, he glanced at the Nether Demon Sword around his neck, his throat rolled involuntarily, zuihou, he let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Okay, I said." โ
"This is a secret that has been circulated between some of the Great Magus and the Dragon Knight Rank powerhouses, and the source of the information is no longer able to be investigated, perhaps it is a record in ancient books, maybe it is a message passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, or it is just an ethereal legend.
Legend has it that there is a relic of the gods in the far east, and the treasures left by the gods are buried in the ruins, but the gods have planted an enchantment around the ruins in order to protect these treasures, and the six purple gems are the map where the ruins are located and the key to the enchantment. โ
"You believe in these unreliable legends?" said Dick, mocking.
"No," said Hemerson, "it is very likely to be true, for the other five gems have already been born, each with its own owner." Legend has it that when the six gems are gathered, a map to the ruins will appear. โ
"Well, answer me one more question, who are the owners of the other five gems?" Dick said curiously.
"These characters are scattered all over the continent, and even if I tell you their names, it will be very difficult for you to find them, so why don't I help you contact them. โ
"Would you be so kind?" Dick was suspicious.
"No, no, don't get me wrong," Hemerson explained, waving his hand again and again, with a panicked expression, "Actually, I am helping you and myself, because I have a close friendship with one of the owners of the gems, and he promised to bring me in if he finds the relics of the gods, which is why I want to see the six gems together." โ
"Okay, I'll just trust you once, you can go. Dick coldly put down this sentence, and then took back the Nether Demon Sword that was on Hudson's neck, and at the same time his shoulders shook slightly, and the black wings behind him also dissipated into black mist and drilled into his body. As if he had been pardoned, Hemerson ran out of the cave as fast as he could.
Dick pondered for a moment, then walked over to the golden angel statue, reached out and picked up the crystal clear purple gem from the tray, studied it carefully for a moment by the sunlight shining through the hole, and then threw it into the space bag.
To be honest, Dick didn't think that Hemerson had much credibility in everything he said, and that the relics of the gods were nothing but empty words, without a shred of evidence. Maybe what he said would be true, but it's more likely that the guy was just making up a random excuse to fool himself.
However, he was a disciple of the Shadow Sword Saint, and Dick didn't intend to kill him in the first place, so he had to take advantage of this staircase to go down.
