Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Vera stood at the circular intersection in the middle of the yard, carefully wiping the blood on her face.Now his whole body is covered with small wounds, his black robe is full of rips, and it is covered with blood stains.

Under the illusion and the charm, after being led into that room respectively, he and Hill almost understood at the first moment that this was an ancient and powerful trapping circle.Although their responses were quick, it was too late.From the moment you step into the magic circle, you will be firmly trapped by invisible forces, and you will never be able to get out, and the magic circle has a strong inhibitory effect on spells, and it is difficult to destroy it from the inside.

When he was at a loss, Tails came.As a golden dragon, Tails is inherently difficult to be controlled by illusions and charm spells.Vera keenly discovered this.After a short and silent communication, they quickly reached a tacit understanding.Obviously, the plan was successful—except for the isolation effect of the magic circle on the soul blood contract.

The most loyal servant is obviously not very reliable.After a year of barbecue, Tails finally agreed to solve the magic circle.At this moment, Hill's defensive spell had been broken, and the slender black spikes pierced through the bones, drilled through the barrier formed by the spell, pierced the soles of their shoes, and climbed up their legs.After some investigation, they found that the center of controlling the magic circle was on the high vault of the room.Under the protection of the entangled cloud pattern, the starlight on the black star stone is particularly conspicuous.

The human spells learned so hard during this period came in handy. Unlike the helplessness last time, with the help of a dagger, and with the help of softening and entanglement techniques, Tails climbed up the vault with difficulty and gouged out the piece A black star stone the size of an egg.

The spikes stopped growing, the dark red light dimmed, and the intertwined patterns twisted and curled back, turning back into silent patterns and reliefs.

The magic circle fell apart.

But Vera and Hill were not delighted.The black spikes had already climbed over their legs, wrapped around their chests and arms, pierced through the thick robes, and pierced into their skin, creating deep and thin wounds one after another.From the bottom up, even including the neck and cheeks.

Now, Vera was standing in the middle of the courtyard where the dry and cracked soil was exposed, the wounds all over her body were in pain, and blood was still oozing out.The mage didn't show any displeasure, he just took a deep look at Tails with his slender black eyes.The danger in the eyes is simply terrifying to the dragon.

Tails felt a little hairy in his heart, and raised his head to pretend to admire the gloomy sky - when the girl disappeared, the sun in the sky and the magnificent illusion of the palace also disappeared.If it weren't for his own bargaining, perhaps the wounds on the mage and priest would not be so deep.But he has no regrets - there's nothing better than watching Villa suffer and a year of roasting.

Vera turned to Hill, showing a deceptively warm smile, and asked expectantly: "Hill, I know you are cautious, but there are no outsiders here, and there are still unknown dangers lurking around. If you don't mind, why don't you pray first?" The god you worship bestows some grace?"

Hill's hood had already been lifted, his pale face was stained with blood, his lips were still tightly pressed, and his expression was very indifferent.Hearing Vera's request, he looked into Vera's eyes and said calmly and seriously: "If the 'grace' you mentioned refers to healing spells, then you can only be disappointed. The gods I believe in He is the Lord of Shadows, and none of his priesthood has anything to do with healing."

The smile on Vera's face froze, and she couldn't even maintain her usual calmness.His expression cracked for a moment, and then he moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but held back with difficulty.

After a while, he regained his usual composure and let out a long sigh: "I should have known earlier. A priest of Erji! I was so lucky to meet the only one among all the priests who couldn't heal." He showed a wry smile and spread his hands, "Okay, so what are you good at?"

"As you know it. Curses, shadows, and death."

Tails still admired the empty sky, as if he was not interested in everything that happened around him.The peripheral vision from the corner of Tails' eyes and pricked ears always fell on Vera and Hill.Hearing that Hill doesn't know how to heal spells, the corners of Tails' mouth couldn't help but curl upward.When he warned Vera to be careful of Hill, Vera once told him quietly that the reason why he wanted a priest was because healing spells were exclusive to priests, and when he was in danger, he could throw the priest out.Obviously, Villa is now disappointed.Vera's distressed appearance and the still bleeding wound greatly pleased Tails and made him feel very satisfied-it seems that he would rather not have a year's barbecue, and let the despicable mage enjoy the spiky meat for a while. caress.

For the next three days, they searched every corner of the palace.Different from the appearance when the girl led them here, at this time the palace peeled off the illusion of resplendent gold and jade, revealing the brand marks left by thousands of years.Dust everywhere, cracks everywhere.Relative to the long time, the palace is still well preserved.The powerful guardian magic guarantees the integrity of the building to the greatest extent.The interior of the palace is empty, except for the layers of magic circles left behind and worthless broken copper and iron, there is almost nothing.

Their luggage was left near the entrance of the valley, and only Tails and Hill had a small amount of bacon on them, enough for two days at most.Although the luggage was close at hand, they couldn't get it - the powerful guardian circle perfectly enveloped the palace, like a wide cage, no matter what method they used, they couldn't get out.

Tails once turned back into a dragon shape, stretched out the wings that had not been stretched for a long time, and flew into the sky, trying to find a way out.The long-lost flight made him feel very comfortable, but this comfort only lasted less than a minute—he hit the sky, and actually hit the empty and gloomy sky.The proudly flying golden dragon uttered an unexpected cry of pain and almost fell from the sky.

After three days, hunger was like a shadow.There is not a drop of water in the palace, and there is nothing to eat.And the girl has been hiding since she suffered a loss from Tails, and instead began to hide in the dark, causing troubles on their only path—such as small-scale collapses and ancient traps.They searched separately twice, and each time, Hill came back with injuries all over his body. It seemed that the girl thought he was easy to bully and took special care of him.

Vera and Hill have more or less started to show weakness, only Tails, who has long been used to hunger, still seems to be in good condition.

In the northeast corner of the palace, in a vaguely identifiable 'predecessor' garden, Vera, Hill, and Tails sat around a dilapidated stone table, discussing the predicament in front of them.

Vera's slender fingers tapped on the table lightly, making a dull and weak "duk-duk" sound.He cleared his hoarse throat, bringing a tearing pain in his throat.Vera held back the pain, opened her chapped lips, and analyzed calmly: "It's been three days, and we've traveled all over the palace. As we can see, aside from the unimaginably huge guardian circle, there is no one left in this palace. Any valuable artifacts. Besides the largest one, there are surprisingly many ancient magic circles here. These magic circles are not only spells, but also divine spells, to be precise, shadow magic. According to records, during the period of Emperor Andrew, Tutan's main city did believe in the Lord of Shadows. And these spells and divine spells, without exception, are guardians. What does this mean?" After finishing speaking, he stopped his movements and quietly Waiting for the response of the others one by one.

The man did not respond to him, and neither did the dragon.
