Chapter 145: Gordon's Plan A

In the drain, Gordon, who had come by teleportation, exhaled slowly.

A string of gurgling bubbles also floated from the corner of its mouth.

Although the whole body was suddenly exposed to cold water, I felt a little uncomfortable.

But Gordon still felt that underwater was the safest place, at least after teleporting, in the dark environment, no one would care about what was in the water, so it was difficult for people to find its tracks.

After all, underwater comes with its own natural cover, as well as a stealth effect.

And for the results of this bluffing operation.

Gordon can only say that he has done his best.

Whether it's letting the goblins use them underwater as tools to send fish into the nets, or pretending to be relics with bones placed in the sewer pipes in advance, nothing is missing.

I don't know how much this bluffing trick will convince them, but that's all Gordon can do.

No matter how difficult it is, it can't do it, and it's easy to expose it if you do too much.

So, in the end,

It can only do its best and obey the destiny of heaven!

It didn't stay underwater for long, and soon, it was already moving its body and floating upwards.

After identifying the direction, head in the direction of the north sewer.

As for kobolds and goblins, they've already done their job, and there's no point in doing anything more than help.

However, Gordon still told them to hide them near the cult altar to the north, and not to be exposed, just in case they were needed.

On the other hand, Rosen had already happily brought the news to Joey.

"Young Master, Young Master, I know where Golmodan's relics may be hidden!"

"What? Did you find the underpass?"

Joey, who was originally waiting for the results of the hall with an indifferent face, was suddenly shocked, and looked at the escort Rosen who was running towards him from a distance with an extremely shocked look.

At this time, Lawson's appearance was very different from what he had just entered, the precious dragon skin armor and demonized weapons had all disappeared, and the other ranger Tannis, who was beside him, was also walking behind Lawson in thin clothes.

But Joey, who heard this, was still in the mood to wonder where Rosen's equipment had gone.

It was too late for him to rejoice.

After all, Rosen didn't dare to lie to himself, that is, it was true?

True or not, this is good news.

It's better than headless flies looking for them everywhere.

And Rosen, who ran quickly to Joey, still not panting, quickly shook his head and replied.

"No, young master, this news is the news I got from the great divine dragon, who said that the pocket watch is hidden in the statue of Golmodan, and the statue is in the altar to the north, a few kilometers away!"

Rosen's tone was very earnest, without the slightest lie.

"Dragon, altar, statue?"

After listening to Rosen's words, Joey was full of doubts.

What is this?

But in the popular science that Lawson followed, Joey knew about the existence of the incarnation of the dragon called the gods, the stone dragon.

I also knew the three wishes that came with the sacrifice.

It is also understandable why Lawson and Tannis behind him are now unclothed.

But after listening to what Rosen said, Joey still had doubts in his heart, after all, there was no such name as the dragon of the gods in the history of the dragon clan that he had studied.

Whether it is the platinum dragon god, Bahamut, or the mother of evil dragons, Tiamat, or the nine-faced dragon god Io, he has a certain understanding.

After all, their reputation in the main material plane is not small, and both metal dragons and evil dragons will promote their reputation as much as possible.

But Joey can be assured that he's never heard of the name Dragon.

However, there are not only these three gods of the true dragon, there are still a bunch of them.

Therefore, Joey didn't dare to conclude that this divine dragon must be fake, it was possible that Lawson's description was wrong, after all, even he didn't dare to pack a ticket and know all the gods that appeared on the mainland.

But even Rosen, how divine the dragon he said is godlike.

Joey, who was also only five points of faith and five points of disbelief, was skeptical of Rosen's words.

After all, the profession of a mage will accept anything.

But this does not mean full faith, and if necessary, they will question the gods.

It is even said that in the remote planes, where the light of the gods cannot spread, there are some powerful mages and wizards.

They would even study the gods and the naturally occurring divine creatures in the area, and put them in the research room, and the so-called gods were nothing more than specimens in the laboratory......

Of course, this is very difficult to do in the Io continent, this main material plane.

After all, this place is no different from other planes, hundreds of gods and goddesses are interspersed with it, their divine power is immense, only gods can harm gods!

However, then again, given that there is no clue at the moment, Joey also thinks that he can, so he might as well give it a try!

As long as it wasn't for the presence of those divine monsters, his safety was guaranteed.

After all, the life-saving items on his body are not one or two.

It is no exaggeration to say that the magic and strange things that Joey is wearing now can be converted into gold coins to buy a small kingdom.

Whether it's the [Dragon Brooch] that gives him scales that are naturally comparable to those of a young dragon, or the [Archmage's Robe] that contains ten rounds of various plastic spells, or the [Ring of Regeneration] that he wears on his hand to heal and summon the Ring of Fire Elemental Elders, or the Semi-Legendary Staff [Staff of Withered] that he holds in his hand enough to release seven times and the seven-ring spell [Finger of Death].

Even if he encounters a monster that is not capable of the enemy, then in his storage belt, there is also a teleportation scroll bound by the constant trigger spell, as long as Joey encounters a death threat.

It will automatically teleport him back to the white tower of the safest mage tower in the Western Kingdom where the mage family in the Western Kingdom is bound to the scroll and has a legendary mage sitting in the town.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the Western Continent, as long as you don't go to the Drow base camp similar to the dark region, you will die.

That Joey belongs to the kind of people who can't waste no matter how much they wave.

This means that most of the territory above the surface is left to run rampant.

Even those evil adult true dragons had to weigh whether they could withstand the wrath of a legendary mage when they saw him.

"In that case, let's go! Rosen, you lead the way! Go to the north altar you said, I want to see if this divine dragon has the same effect as you say!"

Having figured it out, Joey commanded Lawson.

Since the so-called dragon of the gods has pointed out the direction in which they are heading.

And Rosen and Tannis, their eyes were shining, and they didn't have time to put on their clothes, so they hurriedly gathered the team members searching in the hall, and then set off, heading towards the place guided by the dragon of the gods.

At this time, Gordon had reached the north side of the sewers, some distance from the entrance of the cave, but not far.

However, out of an abundance of caution, Gordon gently recited the spell belonging to the Shadow Rings.

"The shadows will swallow everything!"

As a result, a void thicker than black flowed out of the obsidian gems of the Shadow Ring, dragging Gordon's body directly into another plane.

This is a shadow plane that can only be entered by high-level wanderers and spellcasters who are proficient in shadow spells.

However, this effect did not last long, and Gordon's time was tight.

Before the spell is gone, it has to fulfill its purpose in the altar.

So, it quickly ran straight from the previous cavern and entered the interior in front of the human guards.

Then he drove through the corridor, down the steps, and then to the previous curtain, and quite successfully sneaked into the altar hall that he had not entered last time, but had only glanced at, and which was also the destination of his trip.

It's no longer what Gordon had seen it before, and everything has changed dramatically.

The black snake sculpture that I saw for the first time has been built with the efforts of the snake people for a few days.

The massive body firmly occupies this underground cavern the size of several football fields and tens of meters high.

This sacrificial scene is entrenched and divided, and at the same time, the black altar under the snake's head and chest is firmly protected.

And on the black altar, there was an object that Gordon was very familiar with. It was the "snatched" sculpture of Holmotan that was placed intact on the black altar, along with other works of art and history books upholstered in animal fur.

Moreover, on the black altar, there was also something that Gordon had seen last time, and a snake-like eye was floating on it.

Look around vigilantly.

Apparently similar, the caster's three-ring spell [Arcane Eye].

The approximate effect is that it can transmit the same image simultaneously with the caster, similar to the high-definition camera of the previous life.

However, Gordon only glanced at it for a moment, and began to patrol the area around where it could hide petrification.

Gordon is still some time away from the disappearance of the spell, that is, the escape from the shadow plane, so you can pick it slowly and don't worry.

Anyway, those snake people, the arcane eyes, and the Ouroboros members in the hall couldn't see it in the shadow plane at all.

However, it didn't take long.

Gordon found a perfect place to hide.

It was in the huge statue of the black serpent that Gordon had carefully observed.

The black snake's mouth was open enough for it to lie on its stomach.

As for whether this statue is safe, Gordon is still relatively relieved, after all, the ground in the snake's head is more than ten meters high, and it is almost to the top of the cave.

And, in the Dragon's Legacy, the role of such a large sculpture is useless other than to please the gods.

It's perfect for hiding its body.

After some careful consideration.

Without hesitation, Gordon flew into the mouth of the black snake that was dozens of meters high.

Under the tip of the black snake's tongue, it hovers in front of the larynx.

Because Gordon found that in this position, its view could easily see the whole picture without being seen.

Unless you fly parallel to Gordon, you have to look very closely to see a stone dragon about the same color as the black snake Kou Zhong.

Not long after the confirmation, Gordon returned from the shadow plane.

Entered the mouth of the black snake.

It was lying on its stomach at this point, its two paws tugging at the rock below the tip of its tongue to prevent it from falling.

If you make a comfortable posture that can overlook the whole situation, it will naturally transform into a stone statue.

Now, all he had to do was quietly observe the situation at the altar below.

By the way, wait for someone who is destined.

But if you don't wait. Then it can only see if it has a chance to act as the destined person.

After all, it's not just one plan, it's just its Plan A, but it's also the most labor-saving and safe plan.

Plan B, but there is a risk of exposing itself.

.....

And it didn't take long.

To the north of the sewers, a group of human adventurers arrived, led by a warrior in ill-fitting chain armor, followed by a young mage wearing a purple-gold ornate mage robe and holding a pale wooden staff.

Behind them are a solemn, well-armed squad of warriors, rangers, and mixed adventurers.

It was Joey and his party who had come from the south side of the sewers.

Their faces were all in a hurry, but they stopped when they heard the returning scout speak of the entrance to the cave that was not far away.

"Rosen, is this it?"

Joey took a few steps forward, stopped around the corner where he could see the entrance to the cave, and asked Lawson behind him.

His face was not afraid, and curiosity was more important.

And when Lawson stepped forward and saw the entrance to the cave, he said with great certainty.

"Yes, young master, that's right! This is it, the relics of Gormodan are among them! I can help you get them now!"

As he spoke, Rosen took a giant axe from his subordinates and a chain armor that did not fit well, and wanted to step forward and set an example of loyalty.

However, Joey reached out and stopped him.

And shook his hand at him, softly.

"There may be people in that cave! Let's change the way we go in this way! We can avoid conflict!"

He didn't want to be taken advantage of.

As he spoke, the half-legendary staff [Staff of Withered] in Joey's hand, the pale gem on the body of the staff that was like the root of a tree, followed Joey's gentle wave.

The gem unleashed an invisible magical aura that directly enveloped the entire team.

Their figures also fell into the invisible, and only the slight pressure of the moss under their feet could reveal that there was originally an adventure team of more than ten people here.

--"Group Invisibility"

In this way, with the blessing of group stealth, Joey's team slowly approached the cave.

However, when they were still a few steps away from the entrance of the cave, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the corridor opposite, which was scattered but very large.

Apparently a motley group of people was approaching this side.

Those noisy words echoed in the sewers.

"Eh, how long is it going to be there, can you really give us money when we get there?"

"Don't worry, how big is the Dragon Hunter Gang, and there will be a shortage of your money?"

"That's right! Boss Finch always keeps his word!"

“......”

And after this voice sounded, a few steps in front of Joey, at the door of the cave, someone also came out holding a torch to greet him.

"It's here! There's a fire ahead! It's finally here!"

The sound rang out as the firelight lit up.

A large wave of black pressure crowd long queues also appeared in the invisible Joey's field of vision.

Ragged beggars, tattered mercenaries, scantily clad women, and powerful thugs.

It can be said that all the people you can see on the black street are brought to the sewer.

"This ......"

Joey was a little speechless, but thinking of what was in the altar inside, he decided to put up with it.

As the crowd rushed in, Joey waved his hand and followed them into the cavern.

And those people didn't notice at all that behind them, there was an invisible team behind them.

Until you get to the altar hall.

The other people from the Black Street were all making crazy noises and struggling to resist the snake people in the hall.

Joey's subordinates were hidden behind him, watching coldly, most of them amazed at the size of the black snake statue.

On the sacrificial altar, Joey found out what he had seen countless times in the traveling mage's codex in the past few months.

"This is a sculpture of Golmodan!"

"The gods are above, really here!"

I thought that the sculpture in front of me was exactly the same as the one depicted in the Traveling Mage's Codex.

Joey's expression was relieved, and he believed that the original five points in his heart were eight points, and he also slowly exhaled, thinking in his heart.

"Finally found it!"

But it was also when Joey wanted to come forward and observe.

The snake man's pupil suspended on the black altar.

There was a slight glow.

Directly reflected Joey and the other team members in the invisible.

And Gordon, who was watching the farce below.

I also saw Joey and his party who suddenly appeared in the sacrificial hall, looking at them with a confused look.

It exhaled slowly, letting go of its hanging heart.

"But it's finally here!"

It's something they miss so much.

After all, in the sacrificial hall below, everything suspected of sacrificial was ready.

If Joey and the others don't come again, Gordon plans to start Plan B......

Luckily, it's coming!
