Lord of Hyranza

He moved his wrist and cast the holy light spell on himself, and most of the wound on his wrist healed immediately.

Andrew hurriedly came over, took out a tourniquet bandage to wrap Surdak's wound, and said while bandaging:

"Gulitum and I saw you cutting your wrist with a dagger, and thought you had entered a certain illusion, or were charmed by some weird magic. We were trying to wake you up, but you didn't respond."

Suldak asked Andrew: "Did you see a phantom of a red dragon just now... and a woman?"

Andrew shook his head and said, "No, we only saw you standing in front of the dragon egg, not moving at all, and you cut your wrists open after a while, and Gullitum and I wanted to stop it already It's too late, the blood has already flowed on the dragon egg!"

"No? Am I the only one who saw the phantom of the red dragon?" Suldak asked the ogre beside him.

The ogre also shook his head, indicating that he didn't see anything, and then said with some regret: "Captain, this dragon egg is actually broken, and it seems that it can't hatch a baby dragon. I heard from the elders in the tribe that, Dragon eggs are the tastiest thing in the world."

"I just saw a woman who turned into a red dragon and asked me to sprinkle blood on the dragon's eggshell. She told me that by completing this contract, I could gain the friendship of a young red dragon. She also said that the sword of Quel Sela was old. It was so unusable, she gave me this necklace and asked me to teach her child Dragon Language, and then disappeared."

Suldak looked at his wrist wrapped in a hemostatic bandage, feeling as though his body had undergone some changes, he said to Andrew.

Andrew reached out to touch the Quelcella stuck on the red crystal, and Suldak quickly shouted: "Don't touch it, Andrew!"

Andrew withdrew his hand and looked at Suldak in surprise, with question marks in his eyes.

"It's dangerous, that red dragon told me, maybe it's right..." Suldak rubbed his forehead with his fingers and explained.

"Anyway, these things belong to you, and you have the final say!" said the Nanai native warrior, shrugging his shoulders.

Standing in front of the dragon egg, Suldak patted the shoulder of the native warrior, and said seriously: "I know that the explanation seems a bit far-fetched, but I would rather believe it!"

The dragon eggshell in front of him seemed to be rejuvenated, and Suldak had some new feelings on the spiritual level, as if there was another fetter in the dark. He could feel its existence, but he was not sure about it. where.

He closed his eyes, and he seemed to be able to see a new mountain, river, and jungle in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

The angle of view is very unique, like a bald eagle soaring in the sky, passing quickly through this mountain forest, and then the spiritual connection was suddenly broken, and Suldak returned to the endless void in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness In the middle, there is a bright starry sky above the head, and countless powers of holy light are slowly precipitated from the sky full of stars.

There is darkness under the feet, and there seems to be a huge dark purple light ball directly under the feet, which is constantly devouring all the matter in the surrounding darkness and is constantly growing.

Suldak opened his eyes again, and he began to seriously look at the eggshell in front of him. Through the bloody runes, the bottom of the eggshell was actually covered with dozens of magic crystals. He reached out and took one of the topmost A magic crystal, this is a magic crystal that can store images and sounds.

Injecting a trace of sacred breath into the magic crystal, the magic crystal immediately began to flow with magic power, a beam of light emitted from the magic crystal, and a light and shadow appeared in the sky above the crystal, it was still the woman in the red dress, Her phantom floated above the magic crystal, the image looked a bit illusory, with a smile on her face, standing in front of Suldak with her arms folded, the phantom made a voice:

'I am very glad that you are willing to learn these dragon runes. Each rune is a key to unlock the shackles. Only by studying the dragon language deeply can you understand the dragon language curse more deeply and try to unlock it. The blood curse on you. '

'Oh, by the way, have you discovered that some dragon-like characteristics have grown somewhere on your body, this is the blood contract I signed with you, after you get my wealth and my body, Your destiny already has some kind of close connection with me, so you will also be cursed by the laws of the world, usually we call it the dragon's blood curse. '

'Only when you continue to learn and understand these dragon languages, can you find some ways to break the dragon's blood curse. '

'Don't worry, young knight, study hard. '

'Before you learn the secrets of the dragon family, you must make sure that you are in this treasure house. Once you take these magic crystals out of this treasure house, otherwise I will leave a few dragon breaths and clean everything in this secret room instantly. including you! '

Suldak quickly withdrew the power of the holy light, the magic crystal in his hand immediately dimmed, and the woman in red floating in the sky immediately dissipated.

He began to look for any abnormality in his body, and there was a slight tingling and itching on the forearm of his right arm. He immediately unfastened the buckle of the wristband, took off the black iron wristband, and then rolled up his sleeves. A red scale suddenly grew on the inside of the wrist. This red scale was only as big as a thumbnail. When Suldak touched it, the scale was full of horny texture.

He scratched it with a skinning knife, and it felt harder than a fingernail. He inserted the tip of the knife into the gap between the scale and the skin, trying to use the skinning knife to peel off the scale from his arm. After the knife cut off the bloody scale, before Suldak could heave a sigh of relief, a brand new scale re-grew at the original position at a speed visible to the naked eye. A scale comes.

Suldak's face immediately became a little ugly. It seemed that this was the 'Dragon's Blood Curse' that the woman in red was talking about.

Suldak frowned. He didn't even know where the young dragon who became Iser by Master Johannes was, and it was really troublesome for him to learn the dragon language in this secret room.

Looking at the war relief on the stone wall again, Suldak stepped down from the stone platform.

At this time, Samira was sitting on a large pile of gold coins, emptying the purse she was carrying, and putting a large amount of gold coins into her backpack.

Suldak said to Andrew and Gulitum: "Other things are still stored here for the time being. We can take away some gold coins and crystals. These sulfur should not be very valuable. The red crystals are not easy to get rid of. It is best to take more gold coins. .”

Andrew glanced back at the piece of red crystal on the stone platform, licked his lips and asked, "Captain, aren't you going to take that Quelcella away?"

Suldak patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. I should take this time bomb out and throw it away at random. Maybe it's safer to put it here. Don't touch it casually. It is no longer a sword, it is now a time bomb, it may explode with a 'boom' at any time, and then form a space crack here, it may destroy this place at any time..."

After speaking, he walked towards the giant red crystal on the stone platform.

Andrew opened his mouth and looked at Suldak in a daze.

"Captain, do we want to throw away this legendary sword casually? Otherwise, we will send it to Bena City and sell it at the auction house anonymously!"

At this time, Samira had already picked up the heavy backpack and asked Suldak.

It seemed that she had overheard the conversation between Suldak and Andrew, but she was too busy loading gold coins into the backpack just now, so she didn't have time to intervene.

Andrew said quickly: "I think it still exists here! Isn't it always here?"

Hearing what Andrew said, Suldak felt that he really over-interpreted those words. The red dragon clearly said that if he had the destructive power contained in the sword of Quelcella, he could still take it. Picked up the sword of Quel Sela.

"Then stay here for now!" Suldak then made a decision.

Then Suldak suddenly realized that he really couldn't take anything with him except for some gold coins in the treasury.

……

The security team walked out of the secret room of the Red Dragon Treasure. Suldak took down the crystal key, and the door of the secret room was closed again.

Unexpectedly, the so-called treasure of the red dragon was actually hidden in the pustule mountain, and the "Sword of Quel Sela", which has been widely circulated among the people of Bena, was also hidden here. Suldak looked at it seriously. Glancing at the door of the secret room, it took a while before holding the torch of the holy light and leading the security team back along the original path through the stone crevice they had drilled in.

Inside the original lava cave, clusters of red crystals are still growing, reflecting the entire lava cave into dark red.

Suldak feels that these red crystals are not very easy to exchange for money, and the amount of red crystals should be controlled. Otherwise, once a large number of red crystals flood into the market, a large number of red crystals will be unsalable in the market, and it will inevitably become the price of cabbage. , it is better to stay in the mine and let it grow slowly.

The team returned to the entrance of the lava mine, and a group of kobold slaves had already cleaned out a small piece of the red crystal at the entrance of the cave.

Taking the group of kobolds away from the lava mine, Suldak asked the kobold slaves to bring some volcanic rocks to re-disguise the entrance of the cave.

The kobold slaves redistributed to both sides of the lava river and continued to mine the sulfur mines on both sides of the river.

The ogre was a little disappointed by not being able to hunt the salamander this time, especially running away with such a large salamander with red crystal spots on its skin, which made Gullitem even more unacceptable. Humans and demons thought that this lava mine should be a lizard's lair, but after exploring it, it turned out to be a dragon's lair, which was a bit different from what they imagined.

After dinner, Gulitum told Suldak that he wanted to stay in the lava cave, and if the salamander dared to come out of the rock crack again, he would beat it to death with a stick.

Suldak thought about it seriously, and felt that someone was needed to stay here to guard the lava mine. Although the ogre was not the best candidate, there was no one else available at the moment. Andrew and Samira could not be tied together. Now, the two of them have to maintain the law and order of the entire barren land.

As for himself, he will stay in Pubbag Mountain to learn Dragon Language for a period of time in the future, and he can't go anywhere.

Suldak stuffed the last piece of baked wheat cake into his mouth, drank the last mouthful of broth, and said to Luke:

"Luke, pack up tonight. Go back to Wall Village with Andrew and Samira tomorrow. I will stay in the sulfur mine during this time, and I will take care of it for the time being."

In the fall, Luke married a girl from a neighboring village, and Suldak felt that he should stay in Wall as much as possible during this time.

"Oh, got it, Duck!" Luke agreed with a 'hehe' smile.

Suldak patted this hard-working, careful and steady young man, and said:

"Going back to the village does not mean that you will be completely idle. For the next period of time, you will be responsible for the transportation of sulfur mines from Wall Village to Pustbag Mountain. Don't spread the news about the red crystal mine for the time being. At present, these red crystals are not yet ready for mining."

"Understood, don't worry, Duck! I won't talk nonsense." Luke said immediately.

"Andrew, Samira, during this period of time, Wall Village will be handed over to you to take care of. Aphrodite will probably not return to Wall Village in the near future. In addition to paying attention to the comeback of those desert bandits, you should also pay attention Search for the remnants of the northern rebels, and pay more attention to the magicians who enter the barren land." Suldak said to Andrew and Samira on the side.

"Okay, if desert bandits sneak in again, I'll chase them into the desert and destroy the oases they depend on for survival..." Andrew said angrily.

"If anyone asks me, just say I went to Bena City!" Suldak added.

……

In the stone room of the Red Dragon Treasure, the relief on the stone wall twisted into a huge vortex again.

A young red dragon stuck its head in. It looked around vigilantly for a few times, then retracted its head with a puzzled expression. Halfway through, it saw that a pile of gold coins seemed to be missing, and immediately widened its eyes. Eyes full of anger, he stretched his head over and sniffed for a long time.

It let out a deep roar, and the entire cave began to tremble violently.

Then it noticed the eggshell that was about to turn into stone. The bloodlines exuded some kind of contract power from the eggshell, pulling his huge body. Besides being full of vitality, it didn't see any changes.

It stayed in the treasure house here for a while, then retracted its head, and the stone wall engraved with war reliefs seemed to ripple in circles, and as the dragon red retracted its head, it returned to its original shape. the original appearance.

Chapter 597 Dragon Blood Curse 2

A large number of flames erupted from the top of the pustule mountain in the darkness, and hot magma continued to flow down the entire mountain, forming dozens of lava rivers of different sizes.

The lengths of these rivers of lava vary. Some small rivers will disappear only halfway up the mountain, and only a few larger rivers of lava reach the foot of the mountain. The surface of some rivers of lava is covered with a thick layer of stone crust. , forming an underground river flowing underground.

At the foot of the mountain, volcanic ash falls like snowflakes all year round. In many places at the foot of the mountain, the accumulated volcanic ash looks like giant hills.

People living here not only need to wear masks that can filter the air, but also need to cover their heads with a thin gauze to prevent the flying volcanic ash from flying into their eyes. The sulfur mine camp is stationed here with Luke There are a total of five villagers in Woer. In addition to counting the sulfur mines collected, everyone usually cooks breakfast and dinner for the [-] kobold slaves every day.

Normally, these villagers seldom go to the Lava River mine to work as supervisors. They usually stay in the sheds of the sulfur camp. Of course, the biggest motivation to support them to stay in the sulfur mine is the generous monthly salary paid by Surdak.

Luke's departure made the five villagers feel a little lost. Originally, Luke was doing most of the inspection work on the sulfur camp, but now they have to share it with the five of them.

The kobold slaves will walk back along the volcanic rocks of the lava river every day after the sky is completely dark.

These kobolds have noses with unique structures. Their noses are rich in gray hairs, which can effectively block the volcanic ash flying in the sky. Therefore, the environment here does not have much impact on them. Once too much volcanic ash falls on their faces, they will Vigorously shake his head to shake off all the volcanic ash.

Kobold slaves like to take a sand bath after supper, completely stepping their bodies into dry volcanic ash. The volcanic ash here contains strong alkaline substances, which can effectively kill the fleas and lice hiding in their hair.

These kobold slaves are not afraid of overheating and cold environments by virtue of the hair on their bodies, but they live very well in the sulfur mine.

At night, a group of kobold slaves sat together, and some young and strong male kobolds bit and wrestled in the circle made of volcanic ash. This is a unique fighting style of the kobolds. and paws.

After sending Luke, Andrew, and Samira away, the ogre Gullitum hardly stopped at the sulfur mine camp, and lived in the lava mine cave with a stack of wheat cakes and water bags on his back.

Suldak had to explain all the things here in the sulfur camp before he could escape and enter the secret room of the red dragon treasure to learn the language of the dragon.

The effect of the Dragon Blood Curse is very obvious. In just one day, the third scale has grown on Suldak's arm, and each scale has a very unique pattern. Suldak touched the armor Armor, these scales reduce the body's sense of touch, but enhance the body's own defense.

There was a candle burning in the tent, and Cyrus Hickok's magic notes stood on a stone slab. Celia Cooper was holding onto the black cage with both hands, and was about to stick her head out, staring at it without saying a word. Touching the scales on Suldak's arm.

"This is the curse of the dragon!" Celia Cooper said with certainty.

"I read an introduction to this curse in a very old magic book. It is said that during the heyday of the Dragon Clan, the fertility of giant dragons was still a very serious problem. The birth of each baby dragon is very important to the Dragon Clan. One big thing, the dragons can't stay in the lair all day to take care of the young dragons, so they will capture some humans, elves, orcs and dwarves from all corners of the world, and let them become dragon servants to take care of these newly born young dragons , the dragons were worried that these servants would harm the young dragons, so they cast a very special curse on these servants."

Celia Cooper said while recalling:

"This is the origin of the curse of the dragon. This curse is actually a process of fusing the blood of the dragon with its own blood. Therefore, it is also called the blood curse by some dragons."

"It's very simple to say, that is, the dragon blood has melted into your body, and your body will gradually become dragon-like after being eroded by the dragon blood... Of course, this kind of evolution to the dragon race will make your physique improve in a short period of time. Significantly improved, and the body has draconic features."

"But this does not mean that you will become a giant dragon. First of all, due to your own carrying capacity, you cannot afford a large amount of dragon blood fusion. In addition, the blood in your body will also reject dragon blood. There is not enough dragon blood to enhance fusion. You will become a servant of the dragon who has lost his mind."

"I guess you must have never seen the servants of the dragon. Those servants of the dragon look more like the evolution of the lizard warriors. Their combat effectiveness is also super strong, but their minds are completely degraded, and they live entirely by instinct and the orders of the dragon."

On a blank page of the magic notes, magically woven lines appeared, and a fat dragon man with four legs and two hands appeared on the page. The dragon man was covered with countless scales, and it looked like a dragon man. monster.

Suldak's eyes went dark, and at this moment, his heart was full of resentment towards the female dragon. If he had become like this, he might as well have jumped into the magma pool of Pustule Mountain.

"Is there any way to undo this blood curse?" Suldak asked Celia Cooper.

Celia Cooper shook her head and said:

"Giant dragons gradually withdrew from Roland Continent 1000 years ago. The high-ranking priests in the temple were good at lifting curses, but they all disappeared. Maybe you can see records of this curse in some ancient books. But the way to undo it is definitely not easy to find.”

"It is said that the giant dragons left the Roland Continent and traveled through countless planes to return to the Kingdom of Dragons, which is also related to this!"

Suldak asked Celia Cooper: "You mean that all the races in the Roland Continent have spoken out against this blood curse, so the dragons left the Roland Continent to live in other planes."

"It should be like this!" Celia Cooper replied: "Okay, I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep for a while, the stench of dragons is really everywhere here."

Suldak's face became a little ugly. In just two days, the dragon scale on his arm had become three pieces, and a new dragon scale was growing out little by little. He pulled off the linen sleeve and covered it Locking his forearm, he put on the black iron wristband again.

Only then did he put away the magic note with a gloomy face.

……

Suldak took out the keel necklace from the magic pocket.

The entire keel necklace looks very delicate, with countless complicated runes engraved on it. He gestured the necklace to his neck and found that the necklace was well designed. It has layers to prevent assassins from cutting their throats. It will not affect the free movement of the neck.

This keel necklace was made from a complete red dragon throat bone. Suldak didn't know how it was made, but with his keen perception of magic, he could clearly perceive the keel bone necklace. The necklace should be a piece of spiritual bone containing magic lines.

When learning the sacrificial ceremony in the indigenous tribe of Handanar County on the Warsaw plane, the great wizard Inoyatila once told Surdak that both magic-weave spirit bones and magic-weave leather can be made into magic-weave Colonization equipment, and how many magic-weave cultivation equipment a warrior can have depends entirely on the warrior's own carrying capacity.

Numerous runes emerged from the keel necklace in his hand.

Suldak felt that if he only used it as a necklace, he might have the ability to learn dragon language, but if he turned it into a magic-weave breeding suit, then he might be able to master the power contained in this dragon bone. of magic power.

Seeing the only legacy left by Lord Johannes, Suldak felt as if he had some unknown connection with this keel.

Suldak sat in the tent and meditated. He wanted to know if he could suppress the blood curse after his strength improved.

Soon after entering the state of meditation, Suldak once again felt that the sacred aura condensed by the stars on his upper body became incomparably majestic. Those sacred auras were like a boundless ocean, suddenly attracted by some kind of force, forming monstrous waves. Huge waves were sweeping through every corner of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Consciousness, and the huge impact force smashed open a dark door, making his perception of the outside world and his control of power rush to a whole new level.

When the dawn came, Surdak opened his eyes, lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked out of the tent.

Facing the light of the morning sun, the world in front of my eyes became more colorful. Even the flying volcanic ash around me can feel their existence without turning my head to look around. It even falls on my shoulders, like a broom-shaped volcanic ash. The collapse and fragmentation were so clear in Suldak's eyes, like the moment a mountain collapsed.

Surdak knew that he was promoted again in his tent in the sulfur mine.

Speaking of which, it has only been more than a month since the last level promotion, and the promotion reached level [-] again.
