Section 124 The Ash King (6,000 words!)

In the void, stars passed by Lance.

He was lying on Bacon's body, and the young Time Dragon could not really carry Lance through time and space, but these fragments could not necessarily fly far under the blessing of Campbell's temporary mana.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to go with the Time Dragon to snatch one of the fragments.

The power of the Time Dragon was still magical, and they penetrated the barriers of the Emerald Wonderland without any obstacles, and finally reached the outermost dimension.

This is one of the most dangerous aspects of dimensional travel - arcane interference and plane storms can strike at any time, and even legendary wizards have to deal with these invisible natural things that kill people carefully.

It's just that for Time Dragon, avoiding these things has become instinctive. Under the command of Lance, he firmly locked onto the flickering fragment, and finally cheered, and tried to use the shuttle three times to finally catch up!

"It's a cane!"

Lance looked closely, and found that the part he was chasing was the head of Sodom's scepter, which was inlaid with gems of two colors.

A not-so-powerful displacement spell was attached to the head of the staff, and Bacon opened his mouth and gently spewed out a mouthful of blue-gray dragon breath.

The dragon's breath sprinkled on the staff's head, and the original displacement spell disappeared without a trace.

That's where the Time Dragon comes in.

The qiē about time and space is under its control, if it is allowed to grow for a few more years, let alone a mere green dragon Hathaway, even if it is besieged by five five-colored dragons. It is also easy to extinguish.

"Got it!"

The azure magic carpet flew and wrapped it, instantly enveloping the head of Sodom's scepter in the magic carpet. Lance was a little excited to make sure that he had secured a fifth of the scepter, when he suddenly noticed that something strange had happened to the bacon he was sitting on.

It looked a little tired, and the whole person was in good spirits.

"Bacon, what's wrong with you?"

Lance asked, a little worried.

"Whew......" Time Dragon replied weakly.

Although the two sides signed a contract and were able to communicate some simply, Lance was still helpless in the face of Bacon's unique language.

But looking at its dynamics, I guess it's too tired.

Also, this time Lance summoned it. First, he had a trick with the green dragon Hathaway. Facing a green dragon that is at least a thousand years older than himself, no matter how powerful the time dragon is, it is very difficult to deal with it, not to mention that the former also took out the rare dragon domain, and after this incident, he was sent by Lance to travel to other planes with the dragon egg of the green dragon. Because the green dragon is the master of the wind. If you keep moving in one plane. It's still easy to be caught up by the other party.

Only the leaping between planes is where the Time Dragons are more powerful than all the other dragons.

But although shuttling is Bacon's instinct, it still consumes a lot of body and energy. What's more, it was originally a little dragon that needed rest and sleep.

And now, it was driven by Lance to chase Sodom's scepter. It was barely able to travel through the plane alone, but with Lance with it, it would be very difficult.

All these circumstances add up, and it's no wonder that Bacon is so listless.

Figuring out the joints, Lance gently stroked Bacon's neck and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to make you tired, let's go back to the previous space." ”

Bacon barely cheered up and was about to activate the shuttle ability, who knew that at this time, the space around them suddenly began to open strange doors!

......

You must know that the space that Lance is currently in is a deserted half-plane, located between Creeland and the Abyss. Thankfully, Sodom's staff didn't run far - farther away, it would be the territory of the demon lords, and even if they got the shards, they would be targeted by the ferocious and powerful demons.

At present, this place is completely barren. Above them were purple and blue stars, and beneath their feet were cracked earth.

There was only extremely thin air here, and if Lance wasn't a wizard, he would have suffocated to death.

The suddenness of these strange gates surprised Lance.

Time Dragon also cheered up, watching these gates with great vigilance.

In the next second, one of the doors quietly opened.

A blood-stained head fell out of it, followed by a strange body and internal organs...... In short, a bloody mass of objects fell out of the gate.

Langston was shocked!

"What is this?"

However, the evil he had expected did not appear, and the door slowly closed after the large bloody mass fell from inside the door.

Soon, the rest of the doors began to open.

What fell out of it was the same as before—only it was slightly surprised by Cheng Dù. Some are relatively intact, while others are simply a bloody paste.

At first, Lance was shocked by the origin of these strange flesh and blood, but later, he finally reacted!

"There were two thousand one hundred and ninety-seven doors. Lance silently counted the doors that appeared in the space, and then compared them to the numbers he had seen on the stage of return.

The specific figure from the fox number database is: two thousand two hundred and five doors.

In other words, of the 2,205 people on the platform of return, 2,197 of them turned into a strange mass of flesh and blood, falling into this cold and desolate world.

They did not return to the Great Green as they expected, but eventually went to their deaths.

"I don't know what difficulties and pain they encountered in the process of dimensional transmission...... These poor guys. ”

Lance looked with some pity at a door, from which a large mass of strange flesh floated out.

The flesh was wrapped in a prototype that vaguely looked like a humanoid shelf - but in its arms there was a small, smaller pile of meat.

The lump of flesh floated slowly out of the door. Passing by Lance.

His heart was cold, but this scene immediately appeared in his mind:

Before dying, a mother struggled to hold her child in her arms, trying to keep her poor child alive - but she ultimately failed.

Dimensional teleportation is relentless, and the power of arcane interference and dimensional storms is beyond the reach of even powerful wizards, let alone ordinary people.

"Is it true that only eight Drews have managed to make it back to the Great Green?"

Lance's heart was cold.

The failure of the Drew's path back made him realize the cruelty of the plane journey for the first time.

Because of the time dragon, he has never been too afraid of dimensional travel - the last time he was exiled from the Otherworld, it was Bacon who pulled him back, if he relied on himself. I'm afraid I'm already dead in the astral plane.

"Hey......"

Lance sighed softly. He patted Bacon on the head: "Let's go back." ”

The Time Dragon snorted lowly, and finally flapped its wings, and instantly launched a shuttle!

......

In the verdant fairyland, the gates of the heavenly realm are closing one by one.

The closing of every gate of the heavenly realm. There is a large area of verdant fairyland mountains and rivers collapsing. Extensive forests were destroyed. On the stage of the return that was originally crowded. It also became empty.

Even Campbell himself has lost his figure.

And at this time, the outer layer of the verdant fairyland. Two huge figures are facing each other.

In fact, compared to the size of an adult green dragon, the crystal dragon is still relatively petite.

"There are five pieces in total, but we only have two on both sides, which is not a good thing. ”

Hathaway rolled her eyes and sneered, "I know there is a way to summon the remaining two fragments with the three fragments of Sodom's scepter. ”

Lei said lightly: "It's unfortunate, I will do this too." ”

The two female dragons glanced at each other, and the murderous aura became more and more obvious.

There are only two fragments on both sides, which means that there is no way to summon the rest of the fragments through the guò ceremony. They had to fight each other to get the third fragment from each other, and eventually the entire Sodom Scepter.

"Looks like we're going to have another fight. Hathaway flapped her wings and her neck began to bulge.

This is a precursor to the green dragon's breath.

However, at this moment, Rei suddenly snorted coldly: "If you have the ability to find the third fragment, then Sodom's scepter is yours!"

With that, she turned around and flew away gracefully.

The green dragon was suddenly a little surprised, she hesitated for a moment, but finally did not make a move at the bud.

Lance guessed correctly, she was pregnant, and the previous battle had already greatly damaged the dragon egg in her abdomen, and if she could find the third shard with the help of prophecy spells, then the result would be better.

So she finally left the verdant fairy realm for a while, and went to the nearest half-plane to rest for a while, and by the way, she used the divination spell to test the third fragment.

......

"This time you're going to have to get quacky bacon. ”

Lance gently stroked the neck of the Time Dragon and said with a smile, "If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have been able to transmit the Mind Whisper Technique across a half-plane to your heart." ”

Lei regained her human form, and the look on her face became a little better: "You really got the last fragment." ”

Lance simply handed over the head of the staff.

Rei's eyes lit up, and she took the scepter from Lance's hand, and smiled happily, "That way, I'll be able to get Sodom's scepter!"

The Time Dragon yawned heavily, apparently lacking interest in some of Sodom's scepters.

Comforted by Lance, the little thing found a place to rest again.

Lance knew that this time the time dragon's slumber would probably last longer. It could be a year, it could be a decade, or even a hundred years.

For a long time, I was left on my own when it came to time travel.

"This is the first time you've smiled at me since we met. ”

Lance looked into Lei's burgundy eyes and whispered, "What happened?"

Lei's face turned slightly red, and after thinking about it, she finally gently told her what had happened.

......

"To save you, I promised the old devil that he must get the teapot of fate. But the Teapot of Fate is a mysterious item that has disappeared for a long time, the last time it appeared. I was still in Grant's Ember Dungeon, so I went to the Ember Dungeon. ”

"After that, a lot happened...... I can't explain it to you for a while. In short, many years ago, the Ashes Dungeon was Sodom's territory, and Sodom's scepter may have the clue to the Teapot of Destiny - and probably the only clue. To continue tracking the teapot of fate, I can only pursue Sodom's scepter. ”

"And in the process, I met a very strong person...... Very powerful, he is the king of the Ashes Dungeon, similar to the wizard king of Wanlun...... He has a power close to legendary. I'm no match for him. ”

In the midst of Rei's softly whispered narration. Lance's heart was lifted step by step.

He knew that Rei had done a lot of things to save herself, but he didn't guess that things would be so complicated!

A teapot of fate. Drew Sodom's scepter. It's even related to the decision of the Ash Dungeon to attack the Verdant Wonderland!

"What does he want you to do? Be his thug. Attack the Verdant Wonderland for him?" Lance asked, gritting his teeth.

Lance doesn't know much about the Ashes Dungeon. The only thing that is clear is that in the Twelve Witchcraft Sanctuaries of Creeland Land. It also has the name of the Ash Dungeon written on it!

Like Gu Wanlun and Takarun, Grant's Ash Dungeon also gave birth to a very brilliant witchcraft civilization. Even the birthplace of the extremely popular [Sword Wizard] in ancient times is in the Ashes Dungeon!

And now in the Ashes Dungeon, there are also people who continue that wizard school, such as Gust whom Lance met before, his witchcraft and swordsmanship are perfectly combined, and every move can cause great destruction!

The king of the Ashes Dungeon is equivalent to the wizard king of Gu Wanlun!

"Guardian of the Plane, at least at the level of Rodriguez. When Lance thought of that terrifying strength, his heart sank slightly.

What's more, unlike the birthplace of wizard civilization that has been hit hard such as Gu Wanlun and Takarun, the civilization of this birthplace of wizards has always been very prosperous because of the special terrain and superior system of the Ash Dungeon. Although they did not have a large number of brilliant talents in the same period as Gu Wanlun in history, they developed in a steady and gentle rhythm.

It is only in recent years, it is said that the environment of the Ash Dungeon has been severely challenged due to the contamination of the underground arcane, and its development has slowed down.

Faced with such an enemy, Rei, who was still a crystal dragon in the growth stage, was naturally no match for the Ash King.

"No, you guessed it wrong. Lei shook her head slightly, and the blush on her face became even thicker: "He wants me to be his princess." ”

"What?" Lance almost dropped his eyes in shock!

The king of the Ashes Dungeon actually wants Rei as his wife!?

Although it seems that it is not completely impossible for a legendary-level powerhouse to marry a dragon clan as a princess, this kind of thing happening to his side will inevitably make Lance a little difficult to accept.

"Isn't that weird?" said Rei dissatisfiedly, "Am I not good-looking?"

Lance looked at Rei with a strange expression.

In all fairness, in the humanoid state, Lei's posture is indeed very good. Her skin was smooth and white, like that of a newborn baby, and with her delicate features and figure, she was naturally very attractive—but the thought that she was a small dragon made Lance feel a little strange.

Of course, Rei's body is also very beautiful, and the appearance of the crystal dragon is one of the best among small dragons, just as the iridescent dragon is among the dragons.

"Beautiful, of course good. Lance said wryly.

Lei snorted and said dissatisfiedly, "The King of the Ash Dungeon is a silver dragon, and he thinks that the Frost Dragon and the Crystal Dragon are the two most beautiful dragons in the world, and as their descendant, I am naturally the most beautiful dragon in the world. So it's normal for him to want to marry me. ”

Lance scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that the king of the Ash Dungeon Palace was actually a silver dragon, which would make sense.

After all, dragons are more stable than humans - because they have a longer life force and the ability to "live longer, the stronger they become". The silver dragon is one of the most proficient in dragon witchcraft among the dragon clan, so it's no wonder that it can become the king of the birthplace of witchcraft.

"Did you promise him?" asked Lance.

Rei was silent for a while: "I made a bet with him. ”

"The stake is ......"

Before she could finish speaking, a proud face suddenly appeared in the sky.

It was the image of a silver-haired man. He wears a tall seven-pointed crown and looks very proud:

"My dear princess, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Just heard very unfortunate news from Gust, that our army has failed, that you have been in the Ashes Dungeon for a while, you should know our situation, our days are getting worse day by day, and the rate of arcane contamination is faster than you and I expected - you know what I mean, the original Verdant Wonderland was our greatest hope. ”

"But now that it's a foregone conclusion, it's useless to say anything more. I hope to see you in the palace as much as possible. My dear ......"

He wasn't done yet. was interrupted coldly by Lei:

"I'm not your princess yet. ”

"But you've already lost. The silver-haired man didn't need to be angry, his eyes stared at Lei, revealing a hint of warmth.

And in the process, he didn't even look at Lance on the sidelines—not even a glance.

"You are destined to be my princess. This is our agreement. I guess you're not going to be happy to go back. ”

The silver-haired man spoke calmly. But in the tone, there is naturally a majestic majesty.

"I didn't say I was going to regret it. Rei frowned and said, "But you know, I'm hundreds of years away from adulthood. ”

"I can afford to wait. If you stay in my palace, I don't want you to be harmed. ”

The silver-haired man smiled slightly: "I will wait for you in the palace for three days, and after three days, if you still don't show up, I will come to you in person." ”

In the next second, he directly turned off the Plane Sound Transmission Technique.

The deep purple sky regained its calm.

......

"So, do you have to go?"

Lance said with a solemn face.

Rei nodded silently.

Her gamble with Silver Dragon had already been lost, and although she would not marry him in these days when she was underage, her scope of action had been limited to the Ashes Dungeon.

This is what was agreed upon by both parties.

"Do you like that silver dragon?" asked Lance.

"You say he?" Rei said with an unhappy expression, "This is an arrogant guy who keeps saying that he wants to work for the welfare of the creatures of the Ashes Dungeon, but in fact he has been doing it all the time. There are all kinds of princesses in his deep palace, including Medusa and Blue Dragon...... There are even snake lizards. He's a, how could I possibly like him?"

"But I can't help it, if he comes to me, I can't hide from it. You don't know how powerful the silver dragon of the legendary realm is. ”

Lei's love looks very low.

However, Lance was not like her.

Instead, he stepped forward and gently took Rei's hands.

He looked her in the eye earnestly, "At least a few hundred years away, isn't it?"

"Three hundred and seventy-nine years. Lei blinked: "Three hundred and seventy-nine years later, I'm going to marry that nasty guy." ”

"We still have time. Lance said firmly.

"Time is sometimes useless. Lei said softly, "He is the master of the Ash Dungeon, and he has the resources of the entire witchcraft holy land......"

At this point, her voice suddenly stopped.

Because Lance did not allow her to continue, but hugged her gently.

"Hey, listen, Lei. ”

"Maybe I'm just a useless second-level wizard in your eyes, but I promise you. It won't take three hundred years for me to free you from the Ashes Dungeon. ”

"I know he has the resources of the entire witchcraft sanctuary...... But in fact, he is not the only one who has the resources of the witchcraft holy land. ”

"I know that you have done a lot of things for me, and my life was saved by you, so many things, I can't pay back. But in this matter, at least I can give you a promise. Wait and see. I'm going to be different soon. ”

With that, Lance slowly let go of the hug.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Lance shook his head, turned around, and tore open a scroll.

Pure white light enveloped him, and in the next second, his body began to twist violently.

"Oh, damn it...... It's so uncomfortable every time you teleport over long distances. ”

Lance lay on the cold stone slab of the Greystone Tower, and all that came to his mind was the helpless expression on Ray's face when he mentioned the silver dragon.

"Master, you came back much later than expected. Mark Forty-Seven's voice rang out from the side.

Lance took a deep breath and patted his ass and stood up from the ground: "Yes, it's a lot late. ”

"But I got a lot more than I expected. ”

As he spoke, he hurried to the test bench and placed a test tube filled with mercury on the shelf.

Between the silvery and white mixture, drops of black blood kept tumbling inside the test tube.

In the depths of the demonized mercury, the severed finger wrapped in it is shocking!

Lance stared at the severed finger, quickly put on a pair of gloves for himself, and casually wrote down a number on the calendar beside him:

379. (To be continued......)
