Chapter 32: A New Mission
"What kind of ore is this?" asked the red dragon, who had dug up the pit with a gray face, and picked up a piece of crimson ore that the golden dragon had dug out and put aside.
"Hell Stone. The golden dragon was shocked in short.
The red dragon didn't hang and threw out the inconspicuous-looking ore in his claws, this is the kind of ore that he and the Fire Shield Mercenary Group didn't find thirty years ago?
After thirty years, I think of that bad experience again, especially in the belly of the lava beast, the red dragon feels that this is a shadow that will accompany him for a lifetime, although not many people know it, but ......
It seems that he will be kind to Xiaolan in the future, in case he is unhappy and tells this matter, then he has only one way to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. Well, except for studying the I Ching of the Dragon King.
While his thoughts were flowing, the red dragon couldn't help but roll his eyes to look at his head, and due to his vision, he only saw the tip of Xiaolan's tail.
Due to the large gap between the body shapes, Xiao Lan, who has not grown as long as the dragon horns after straightening them, can no longer easily coil on the dragon horns. However, after decades of fit, the abdominal scales of the little snake have developed adsorption with the scales of the red dragon, and they are usually firmly adsorbed on the red dragon like a sucker fish sucking on a shark. Even if the red dragon performs a few difficult acrobatic moves in the air, the little snake will not fall. Xiao Lan usually stays in the position between the dragon horns on the red dragon's head, this position is undoubtedly relatively safe, even if the red dragon smashes his head to the ground in turn, it will not hurt the little snake, unless the dragon horn of one of the hardest parts of the two dragons is broken, the little snake will be miserably flattened.
......
After watching the golden dragon's excavation for a while, the red dragon felt a little bored and went back to rebuild his cave.
This is not a small project for the dragon that has not yet reached adulthood, and more than half of the cave tens of meters wide is filled with solidified magma, and the red dragon has only completed a small part of the work until dark.
Ember dragged his tired body back to the blue dragon's cave, and saw the blue dragon lying on the pile of gold coins in a daze.
"What do you want?" the red dragon asked casually, walking over to his own pile of gold coins and counting them.
Blue Dragon Kevin shook his head as if he had just woken up from a dream and said, "No, it's nothing." With that, he lowered his neck and pillowed on the gold coin, then closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, the red dragon finished counting his gold coins, and the moon outside was already hanging high.
Not a single one is missing. Ember thought to herself, then stretched out and spun around the pile of gold coins a few times, and fell down in a comfortable position.
Not long after closing its eyes, the red dragon slowly opened its eyes again, and it felt that its two forelimbs had an inexplicable feeling of emptiness, affecting its sleep.
Tossing and turning, the red dragon finally looked at the blue dragon sleeping soundly next to him.
Staring at the big tail that the blue dragon was facing him for a long time, the red dragon couldn't help but stretch out his claws, gently curled the big blue tail inward, and then hugged it tightly.
Unlike the cold gold coins, the red dragon immediately fell in love with this warm blue tail. The dragon's face rubbed on it a few times, and then the red dragon rested his head on the big blue tail with satisfaction, and soon fell asleep.
Although it is not a problem for the dragon to not sleep for a few days or even months, in special cases, if you don't sleep for a few months, you can make up for it by sleeping for a few months at a time. Generally speaking, however, few dragons like dark nights except for black dragons, so most dragons are used to the night when they are fine.
The same is true for Ember, who has grown up in human society for more than a decade, and has already developed a good habit of sleeping well every day. Except for a period of day and night on the way out of Lorisk City to Dragon Island, most of the nights Red Dragon chooses to sleep.
Life on Dragon Island is relatively boring, and the dragons usually eat and sleep only occasionally for a chat, or bask in the sun. There are so few ways to entertain the dragons, and they can't find anything other than playing chess and reading books. Therefore, there are many bored dragons who simply sleep on a regular basis, running the sleeping dragon trick in their sleep, slowly absorbing the elements in the air, strengthening their dragon body, and only when they feel hungry in their bellies will the dragon get up and find two mouthfuls to eat.
......
Sunlight shone in through the hole, and the red dragon slowly opened its eyes, and when he looked up, he saw the bloodshot eyes of the blue dragon.
"Didn't sleep well last night?" asked the red dragon, a little confused.
"What do you say?" the blue dragon smacked his lips and said slowly.
Ember looked down, only to realize that he was still clinging to the blue dragon's tail, and there was a striking pool of ambergris on it.
The red dragon hurriedly let go of the comfortable "pillow", and then wiped it with his paws to wipe the crystal clear ambergris clean.
"Goodbye. The red dragon stood up and slipped away quickly. Fortunately, the red dragon's face was originally red, otherwise it would have been so red that it would have smoked.
...
The red dragon didn't sleep for the next few days, spending most of his time cleaning his cave.
During this time, Ember has confirmed that the last eruption was a side effect of his magic, so the volcano will not erupt again if nothing else.
It took the red dragon three full days to finally restore the cave to its original state, and then moved back home with a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing the red dragon move the nest, the resentful blue dragon wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"One, two, three...... Two hundred and fifty-six, two hundred fifty-seven, two hundred fifty-eight...... One thousand three hundred and thirty-four, one thousand three hundred and thirty-five, one thousand three hundred and thirty-six!" The red dragon, who returned to his residence, made the bed of gold coins, and counted his gold coins again, and found that there was no accident, and there were still a lot of them.
Thirty years ago, Ember earned more than a thousand gold coins on the mainland in just over a month, but in the past thirty years on Dragon Island, including the fifty gold coins of the Blue Dragon Meteor, he has only earned more than a hundred!
More than ten years ago, Ember helped the treacherous and cunning Bronze Dragon Elder to be the acting librarian for a whole year, and only gave ten gold coins!
There is a saying in human society: it is a hundred times more difficult to get the treasure of a dragon than to slay a dragon. This is not an exaggeration.
Fortunately, I finally have enough strength to go to the mainland again to earn a lot of gold coins. Ember thought happily as she slipped down on the coin bed, ready for a good night's sleep.
"Ember, come to me now if you can, there's a relic whereabouts. As soon as the red dragon's eyelids were halfway closed, a low, magnetic voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The red dragon stretched, reluctantly stood up, and walked out of the cave and spread its wings towards the main island.
......
Thirty years have not left any traces on the golden body of the dragon king Aristod, but if you have to measure it with a ruler, you can find that the golden dragon's body is more than 70 meters long, and it is a meter longer than thirty years ago.
The eighteen-meter-long little red dragon stood in front of the big golden dragon lying on the ground, and it was already the height of the latter's jaw.
"According to the information from the informant in the Gondor Empire, it is possible that the rest of the artifact is in the cold city, and you can go and find the informant for your next move. The big golden dragon said as he looked at the magic map that appeared on a stone platform in front of him.
Gondor Empire?There was some confusion in Ember's eyes, remembering that there was no one called Gondor among the four great human empires marked on the map before. However, it didn't think much about it, but asked another question: "Is it possible that the holy relic is in Cold City, or where else?"
"It's also possible that in the Dawn Forest and Rand Qiming City, two places where I've sent other dragons to find them. It's unlikely to be found, though. Aristod replied as he looked at Ember.
"Isn't that my task?"
"It's been more than thirty years since I found a little bit of news about the relics, and I don't want my people's relics to be in the hands of humans for too long. The Dragon King calmly explained, "Whichever dragon retrieves the relic, your first mission is complete. ”
Red Dragon likes to listen to this: "Why don't you talk about my second and third tasks together, and I can do it together if I stop by the way." ”
Ember is a little tired of the boring life on Dragon Island, so he has an impulse to go on a mission to the mainland.
Aristodd pondered for a while and said, "Well, I can tell you that your second mission is to do your best to recover items made from dragon parts on the continent, referred to as dragon suits. ”
The dragon's whole body is a treasure. Rare dragon scale armor, dragon bone staff, dragon tooth dagger, etc., which are rare in human society, and other powerful items are recommended for dragon slaying conditions.
Every few decades, the dragons will produce a sin dragon that has been expelled from the dragon island, and these evil dragons will not interfere whether they live or die. Therefore, most of the sin dragons were surrounded and suppressed by human powerhouses, and their body parts were made into various things.
"How can this kind of task be completed?" said the red dragon with some unhappiness.
"This task is strictly the duty of every living dragon. However, we dragons rarely walk in human society, so if you recycle one hundred and eighty pieces, it's about the same. Da Jinlong said without blushing and without a heartbeat.
"And what about my third mission?" the red dragon asked, swallowing his anger and gritting his teeth.
Unexpectedly, the big golden dragon shook his head: "This task can't be told to you for the time being, so you try your best to complete the first two tasks first." ”
"Okay, if it's nothing, I'll go first!" To be honest, Ember has always been a little inexplicably resistant to this dragon king who may become his stepfather, but he can't say why.
"Well, little Ember, you go back and get ready, and let's go. Aristod nodded, watched the little red dragon leave, and turned off the magic map, which was always open but consumed mana.
