crown of stars

At dawn, the group left the camp and prepared to set off in the misty morning light.

The Dragon's Nest and the camp are still separated by a sea full of floating ice, so it is necessary to row through this dangerous waters.

"I didn't expect that I would sail in the icy sea." The halfling waved the wooden pole and opened the crushed ice. "When I am old, I will write all the adventures of my youth in my memoir. The water here is so beautiful, like Like a sapphire without impurities, there are so many aquatic products that cannot be seen in other places living in it. Fish it out and transport it to the south, and give it to the noble lord to try it out, and there must be a beautiful price.”

"Be careful, don't let the ice hit the boat. The kobold's boat is crudely built, and I don't want to freeze to death in the water and drown." Turin reminded by tapping the side of the boat with his oar.

"Yes, my lord dwarf."

The heavens were merciful, and at last the small broken ship did not sink midway, but a new problem faced this group of reckless adventurers again.

The white dragon's nest was built on the edge of the glacier, on an ice cliff almost perpendicular to the sea, with jagged icicles blocking the view.Ice and snow constantly peeled off from the glacier and fell into the sea. The dwarf had to raise his head and adjust his direction at any time to prevent being smashed through the bottom of the ship by falling objects.

"This dragon is really...cunning." Turin stared at the top of his head resentfully, "Sam, bring the climbing pick in the bag, we are about to set off."

"It'll be fine right now."

"You all know how to climb mountains?"

"Of course, I often compete with people on mountain climbing."

Turin took the lead in smashing the climbing pick into the ice and climbing up on the ice.Several small dots appeared on the white ice wall, struggling to move upward.

Heavy armor is usually nothing to him, and the first time he climbs up the glacier, he hardly feels any effort.About two-thirds of the way up, the bearskin jacket froze into a hard shell, and the armor inside seemed to come alive, strangling his neck and falling straight down.

Du Ling felt a little suffocated, his hands lost strength, and the pickaxe was a little soft when it fell into the ice.The ice surface is abnormally flat, and it is always slippery when climbing up, making it difficult to bear force.The halfling was close to the dwarf, his face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was cold or hot.

Sam finally remembered to breathe without opening his mouth, otherwise the cold wind he would suck in would be enough to make him cough violently.The biting cold penetrated deep into the skin of the glove, and the fingers spasmed involuntarily. The halfling suppressed the discomfort, grasped the iron pick tightly, and looked up through the eyelashes covered with frost.

The handsome young man jumped up and down the protruding ice picks with ease, and the climbing ax was completely useless.Even under such conditions, a single suit was still fluttering in the wind, as if the cold had no effect on him at all.

I really envy him.

The halfling thought that he could walk freely on such a slippery ice cliff, just like a dexterous snow leopard.Compared to the Messiah, they were like two big caterpillars dangling from climbing picks.

As if sensing Sam's gaze, the young man glanced back at his companions who had fallen behind him, and then continued to ascend lightly.Turin and Sam were not surprised to find that the weight on their bodies was miraculously lightened, and each climb was easier, as if they were supported by an invisible hand.

Turin was sitting on the ground trimming, his icy robes thrown down, when Sam was the last panting in the mouth of the cave.The Messiah is sideways to him, leaning against the wall, half shadow, half light.

Without even thinking about it, Sam must know that he must be extremely embarrassed now, at least his proud black hair is now sticking to his scalp.The halfling fumbled for the water bag on his body, drank a few sips of water profusely, and then coughed softly.

He had a bad premonition that climbing the cliff was so tiring, and the dragon slaying might not go smoothly afterwards.

"Take a break, you look like this, don't talk about slaying the dragon, I think it's enough for you to be around the white dragon." Du Ling took a few mouthfuls of dry food, looked worriedly at the sluggish halfling, even the silver-haired halfling. The young men nodded in agreement.

Just take a break, just for a while...

Sam thought, just leaning back and falling asleep.

The Messiah slipped into the darkness and made his way down those wide passages.This unknown giant dragon dug a series of complex underground icy tunnels for himself, some even spread into huge underwater icebergs, and some inconspicuous magic traps were arranged in inconspicuous corners, spreading out in his perception. With a dazzling aura.

These are just tricks to confuse the enemy's perception. The rich dragon's breath pervades the lair, and its source is not in the depths or below, but in—

With three intersections ahead, Messiah chose the left without hesitation.

The real dragon's lair was up there, and the white dragon was standing by its gold coin for a moment.

The halfling shook his head and got up from the ground, feeling refreshed again.

"What time is it now, and how long have I been asleep?" Sam asked.

"For about a moment, I thought you were going to sleep a little longer." Turin took the hammer off his belt and weighed it in his hand.

"No, I can do it now."

Messiah walked around behind the two, raised his hand slightly, and a beam of colored light fell on Turin and Sam.

"There are three intersections here, which way shall we go?"

The young man stood in the ice cave, watching the dwarf and the halfling arguing as if no one was watching, completely forgetting about his companion standing beside him.

He had temporarily charmed the two little men just now, so that they could follow the path he had chosen in advance, and then turn around in a relatively less dangerous passage, so as not to become a burden for him to kill the white dragon.

Sam Turin debated for a while which road to take, and finally decided to go down the middle road.Before leaving, the dwarf slipped and almost fell to the bottom of the ice tunnel leading to the bottom of the water.

"Wait for me." Sam shouted and followed, "I should have scouted the way ahead!"

The halfling sat on the ground and slid down like a child on a slide, rolling into a ball with Turin below.The dwarf stood up cursing, skirted a few pillars, and disappeared from the halfling's view.

The spell has taken effect, and if nothing unexpected happens, the two will keep walking until they stop completely in that safe area.

Messiah turned around and left, the charm would not last long, he needed a quick fix.

The icy road leading to Bailong still looked extremely grand even for his taller height than ordinary people. The walls were smooth and round, like a twisted and grotesque mirror, reflecting his blurred shadow.

There are no magical traps on the road, because at the end of the road is one of the most terrifying creatures in the material world - the colorful dragon.

The white dragon Kaldya raised her head vigilantly, catching the free smell in the air.

He had a very uneasy feeling, scorching his small brain like a flame.

Since he robbed a human caravan a month ago, he always felt that these things would be taken away sooner or later.A dark inspiration warned him of danger.

Could it be that an equally powerful white dragon hovers nearby?Or a silver dragon with too much sense of justice?

The premonition that the treasure would be looted almost caused his scales to explode. Cardia frequently dived into the water to eat a full meal and hoard his energy, so that he was captured by the kobolds many times, and he prayed devoutly day and night for this.

Cardia didn't dare to fall asleep, the shadow of the lair being invaded was always hanging over his head.

Cardia almost laughed when the three guys crawled to the door.What white dragon and silver dragon, they are just a few fools who have read too many stories about dragon slaying, and they are just right as an after-dinner snack between their teeth.

Two idiots walked towards the underwater channel he dug, which was filled with the guardians and snacks he raised, and one idiot chose the right path and walked straight in his direction.

Cardia yawned lazily, and the upper and lower rows of teeth gleamed sharply.Flap your wings, leap to the platform on the roof of the cave, and stare intently at the shining treasure below.

Messiah stopped in front of an ice wall, and a few steps forward was the Dragon's Nest.

Cardia held her breath.

An ice wall crashed down, and a figure stepped out of the scattered smoke and dust.

Caldia crawled cautiously, letting the platform hide his bulk as much as possible.He is not those beast-like white dragons who only know how to eat, drink and sleep all day long. The wise glacier dragon has learned the common language and even designed a set of traps for himself.

The dragon's nest was empty, there was no shadow of a dragon at all, only gold and silver coins and various small handicrafts all over the floor.

Messiah raised the corners of his lips, bent over the edge of the dragon's treasure, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and stuffed them into his bosom.

"No! You shameless thief, who will allow you to steal my treasure?" Kaldya couldn't bear it any longer, and glides down from the platform, falling heavily into the pile of gold coins.

The white dragon released its unique majesty to the maximum, trying to intimidate the opponent with its aura, so that he could smoothly take advantage of the opponent's daze and tear the little bug into pieces.

But he miscalculated.

The "little bug" stood on the spot as if rooted under its feet, looking straight into his pupils without fear.

A pool of brilliance lit up the entire ice cave like a secluded spring.

Stars of light and dust surrounded him, as if standing in the middle of a sea of ​​stars.The blade held in his hand was also stained by this starlight, and it was coated with a layer of shimmering light.

His image became taller, and six black wings emerged from nothing, spreading out with the wind.

That is not a vulnerable little person at all, but an extremely rare blazing god attendant!

Cardia was horrified to find out that the premonition he denounced as delusional was not wrong, it was not the white dragon and the silver dragon that came, but a stronger opponent.Perhaps only the white dragon of the ancient dragon level can contend for a short time.

The undisguised majesty overwhelmed the white dragon's majesty at the same time.

escape.

This word first flashed in Cardia's mind, because her weak and cowardly personality instantly overwhelmed her greedy instinct.For a pile of treasures that can be collected again to resist an opponent that cannot be defeated, or to go far away to escape for one's life, Bailong easily came up with the answer.

boom--

The entire glacier trembled, and countless snow and dust fell down.

"What happened in the end, the movement is really big."

Sam touched his head with lingering fear, sitting in a pile of ice, just now an ice pick flew over his face, and it could turn into a rotten watermelon if it was bent a little bit.

"I don't know, I guess some mechanism was triggered." Du Ling replied, his chaotic eyes gradually cleared up, and the effectiveness of the spell was receding.

If someone is looking up at the sky curiously at this time, they will find that a cloud of fog has gathered in the sky, and lightning is constantly illuminating the sky.

Cardia plunged into the water from the sky, he was completely unable to compete with the blazing gods in the air, and only hoped to get out of the water.

Bai Long looked back at the scales on his back distressedly from time to time, the place was already torn, and the newly grown scales were almost all peeled off.There is always lightning in the sky that appears and disappears, knocking down the shield he has built up with great difficulty.

Messiah fell on the ice, and it was easy to see the figure of the white dragon struggling to escape.

The pressure suddenly disappeared.

Cardia suddenly realized this, and the naive Bailong floated up by chance, wishing that the Servant of the Blazing Heaven had already left.It doesn't matter if they don't leave, they are all law-abiding and kind-hearted guys, just swear to him to change from evil to good.

Messiah was waiting for him by the waters.

"Honorable Chitian God Attendant, I swear that I will never rob humans again. I will convert to Aignor, the Lord of Justice, and I will convert to the God of Good Dragons. I will definitely become a kind dragon!" Cardy said. Ya reluctantly swears.

"You, a kind evil dragon?" The Servant of the Blazing God repeated his words flatly, and Cardia felt that the rhetorical question was full of sarcasm, "Swim a little more, and let me hear you swear again."

The white dragon swam to the shore, his golden vertical pupils looked at Messiah maliciously, his upper and lower jaws were slightly opened, and a cold current was brewing deep in his throat.

His opponent leaped high and thrust down hard between the two recurved horns.

The long knife produced by the dwarf pierced through the entire head immediately.

"I'm not Blazing God Attendant, and besides, I don't have the habit of letting go of my prey."
