Chapter 40: Fighting the Cold City Again (I)

The small gate that saw the castle lord Ilusil leave was as sudden as it suddenly appeared. Ember soon realizes that he has been tricked! The lord of the castle, Ilusir, may not have intended to give him the relics in the first place. Thinking of this, the red dragon's gaze became cold, and a puff of smoke came out of his nostrils.

The dragon was angry, and the consequences were severe!

The things in the treasure room were the first to suffer, whether it was statues, vases, or furniture, most of which were destroyed by the flying dragon magic. If there were any archaeologists and antique collectors here, they would definitely be so angry that they would burst their blood vessels and vomit blood three liters on the spot and die.

"Ilushel, if you don't let me out, you'll regret it!" the red dragon roared in the basement, angry and angry. The front paws clenched into fists and slammed into the closed stone door.

But as Ilusil said, the treasure room is a product of ancient magic, and it is indeed extremely strong, and every time the dragon's claws slam on the door, a dark blue shield emerges. Although the stone gate rumbled to the ground, the dragon's power enough to destroy a castle could not shake the stone door in the slightest.

But Ember's attacks weren't without success, and after hundreds of attacks, the dark blue shield color gradually began to fade.

However, after all, the dragon is still fleshy, not a tireless machine, and seeing that it could not break the shield in a short time, the red dragon stopped.

Ember turned her head to look at the vent in the wall, and saw that the gap in the iron mesh at the exit above was so small that it was impossible to get through it except for flying insects and mice.

But that's not enough to stop the only dragon in the world that gets smaller.

Just as the embers were urging their mana and preparing to become the first dragon in history to drill into the ventilation pipe, the closed stone door slowly opened!

The red dragon, who was still angry, didn't think about it, turned his head and took a big mouth, and a big fireball sprayed out of the door.

"Boom!" The fireball slammed into a wall of ice that rose instantly, bringing up a huge burst of water vapor.

"Ember, listen to me!" Lilith's voice came from behind the ice wall.

The red dragon's anger receded slightly: "Say!"

"Shel, he's evil! Ever since I got that thing, I thought he was a little weird, and I didn't expect to do such an unwise move! I beg your forgiveness!" Lilith's eyes were red, and there was a hint of crying as she spoke.

Hearing this, Ember felt a stir in his heart. While on Dragon Island, the dragon king Aristodd said that the dragons' Bahamut relics contain powerful energy that only dragons can control and harness. If an ordinary creature approaches it, it may be eroded, with irreversible consequences.

Thinking of this, Ember Flame's anger dissipated by half: "Okay, take me to him, if he agrees to hand over the holy relics, I will not blame the past." ”

......

At the same time, another basement inside the castle.

I have to complain that there are enough basements in this castle, although this basement is not as big as the treasure room, but the scale is not small, enough to accommodate hundreds of people to walk around at will.

However, there were only two people here, the lord of the city, Ilushir, and his chief of guard, Bordeaux.

In front of the two of them was a half-cut pillar, on which a pattern flowed from time to time with a streamer. It's the remnants of the Bahamut relic, which the dragons have been searching for for years!

"After so many years, the power of this thing should finally belong to me!" said the city lord Ilussil with excitement and madness.

I saw that he had drawn the last magic array, and the dense magic array around the holy relic suddenly lit up together, and then the light gradually gathered on the holy relic of Bahamut.

After a while, a strange purple light slowly lit up on the holy object, and Bordeaux, the head of the guard who saw this strange scene, couldn't help but take a step back.

"Don't be afraid, that's to be expected. Ilussil waved his hand, then muttered, "I can finally carry out my revenge plan, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

The strange purple light became brighter and brighter, and when it reached a dazzling point, it suddenly dimmed, and the magic lamp illuminated in the basement also went out, and the basement was instantly plunged into darkness.

Bordeaux fumbled to turn on the emergency magic lamp, and he was shocked by what he saw: he saw that the holy relic was spreading black gas like a real thing, which had been "entangled" around Ilusil who was standing in front, but it was still spreading rapidly in all directions.

"Is that to be expected?" Bordeaux asked, a little trembling. The battle-hardened captain had never been afraid of a real challenge, but he was terrified by something that couldn't be explained by common sense.

Ilusil did not answer his words, and stood motionless.

Bordeaux turned around and ran, but when he ran to the door, he found that he couldn't open the door no matter how much he pushed.

The black gas behind caught up in a blink of an eye, and Bordeaux turned around weakly, watching the black gas "devour" itself.

Bordeaux lost consciousness at the last thought in his mind: this door seemed to be pulled......

......

After exiting the treasure room, Ember listens to Lilith give a brief account of what happened.

It turns out that since Lilith was a child, there has been an underworld force watching the lord throne of Cold City. Thirty years ago, the time when the red dragon happened to save Lilith was one of the actions of the evil forces.

Later, the evil forces gradually became rampant, and at first the old city lord relied on the strong support of the Lorisk Empire for a long time, but then the Loriskk Empire suddenly collapsed and became the Gondor Empire overnight.

The old city lord was worried about the old lord and rejected the edict of the Gondor Empire. Without the support of the empire, the underworld forces took advantage of the situation and took the life of the old city lord.

Later, under the auspices of Lilith's father, the chief mage of Cold City, Lilith married the son of the old city lord, Ilusir, and advanced and retreated together.

But the good times didn't last long, and Lilith's father was soon killed by the evil forces. Then, by chance, Ilusil obtained the dragon relics that had been handed down here.

Knowing why, Ilusil learns that the relics contain great power, so he begins to plan how to use this power to his advantage.

But there is a price to be paid for gaining power that does not belong to you, and before you know it, the mind of the castle lord has changed greatly.

Originally, Iluschel's research plan was going well. But today, the underworld forces attacked again, and his eldest daughter died in the chaos. Ilusil couldn't take it anymore and decided to make an imperfect plan in advance! The red dragon who opened his mouth to ask for something was undoubtedly a big obstacle, so Ilussil tricked the red dragon into the treasure room and locked him up.

After listening to Lilith's tearful story, the red dragon's heart did not have much turmoil, but became a little annoyed, because it was still haunted by the fact that Ilussil had deceived him.

And now you are still trying to steal the power of the Bahamut relics?

"Where is he now?" the red dragon said in a deep voice.
