Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Hill stared at the girl lying on the ground, bent down, and pulled out the dagger stuck in her chest as lightly as possible.His silver-gray long hair fell down, passing through Kania's fair and transparent face.He just used the mind needle to forcibly enter the girl's consciousness, and personally accompanied her through the final journey.

At this moment, he looked at the girl who was lying on the ground and was firmly restrained, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart for a moment.He stood up, withdrew the dark tentacles, was silent for a moment, and said in an indifferent voice: "I know him."

"Who? Who do you know?" Tails asked curiously.Temporarily forgot the special scent of the Lord of Shadows on Hill.

"Sarian."

"Oh? Well, he and you look like they hatched from the same egg. What happened to this sinister and cunning guy? Did he die by drowning or by a curse? Tails looked proudly at the pale priest , the golden-brown eyes flashed with anticipation and imperceptible disgust.

"He was the youngest and most powerful high priest during the period of Emperor Andrew the Great. He died of illness at the age of 61 when his power reached its peak."

Tails looked at Hill suspiciously, but the priest remained indifferent and calm, as if he hadn't noticed his gaze at all.Tars' golden-brown eyes rolled around and landed on Vera again. Afterwards, he said with emotion as if concluding: "Humans are indeed sinister and cunning creatures."

He glared at Vera viciously and warned him, "Don't forget our agreement, one year's barbecue! Bring cabbage and black pepper! A whole year! The portion must be sufficient."

Vera smiled on her chapped lips, nodded, and comforted Tails easily, "Don't worry, keeping promises is one of my few virtues."

After finishing speaking, he took a step forward, staring at Kania lying on the ground, lingering on her with the eyes he used when dissecting the raven.

"She is not entirely an undead creature, nor is she entirely a magical creature, but a product of the combination of resentment and hatred and the entire guardian circle. It originated from sacrifice, was born from hatred, and relied on magic." The girl's chest was half open, revealing A pale black star between the ravines.Vera bent down and stretched out her fingers, probing into the ravine, getting closer and closer.The moment before touching the black star, the scene of Tails' hand on the hill suddenly appeared in his mind. He quickly retracted his fingers as if he had touched something hot.

Seeing this scene, Tails sneered, "I can still remember that I can't touch it, it seems that you..." Before the second half of the sentence had time to say, Tails saw Vera's eyes coldly Sweeping over himself, fingers made a threatening familiar gesture.He hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence, and changed his words, "Very self-aware."

"The cabbage is cancelled."

"...Hmph! Despicable human!"

Vera stood up straight under Tails's resentful gaze, with one hand behind her back, her gaze fell on the star, and she asked Hill nonchalantly, "If I guess correctly, this should be the Black Star Stone Brooch. Hill, did you see anything just now?"

Hill shook his head, "I only saw her chest glow with the power of shadow, and there seemed to be something in the bottom of the water corresponding to it, but I haven't had time to see it clearly, her consciousness fell asleep too fast."

"The Black Star Stone is one of the best magic gemstones. It seems that something happened that she didn't know about herself, which made her merge with the guardian circle. For her, her hatred and resentment had a carrier , and for the guardian circle, it gained consciousness. After that, the guardian circle continued to devour those temporarily set up circles, and finally became a whole." Vera concluded.

Hill nodded, "A very reasonable explanation."

Tails raised his head and questioned Vera provocatively, "Finished the explanation? Have you found a way out? Where's my treasure? Where are those shiny golden properties? Have you forgotten what we are here for? Don't forget, you promised to find a mountain of treasures for me!"

Vera shrugged, "Agreed personally? I remember that I just told you that there might be ruins here, and I never said any mountain-like treasures."

"You!" Tails was so angry that he didn't know what to say first.

"But..." Vera showed a sly smile, "Since we know that there is the most precious treasure here, how can we let it go? Don't you think so, my lord priest?"

"I'm only interested in the divine arts left by the priests. I've gained a lot in the past few days, and my goal has been achieved."

Tails' eyes lit up. Afraid of Hill's repentance, he hastily added, "You said this yourself, the treasure is not yours! Priest of Erji."

"She must know, whether it's the way to get out or the most precious treasure. After all, in a sense, she is the magic circle itself." Vera looked at the girl thoughtfully, as if looking at a living The treasure house, "Now, we just have to wait for her to wake up."

When Kania woke up, it had been a long time.Vera and Hill rested on the broken hot spring pool.Only Tais squatted in the confinement circle, guarding his treasure house motionless.

Seeing the girl's blue eyes open, Tails hurriedly asked, "Where's the treasure?" His golden brown eyes fixed on the girl, flashing with anticipation, lest he miss any information.

The girl looked at him suspiciously, her expression blank.

"Treasure! The most precious treasure! The most precious treasure of the Tutan Empire!"

"You mean?"

Tails cleared his throat and snorted softly: "The symbol of power, you cross it, the long road, you pass it, the green emerald, you stop in front of it. Not far away, through layers of clouds and mist. The golden roof of the palace shines brightly, and the gorgeous flowers dance with the wind. The most precious treasure, how many steps have you kept? How many memories have you gained?"

The confusion on the girl's face gradually subsided, and nostalgia appeared in her eyes. She continued in a soft voice, "The lover's heart is ever-changing, and the stars and the moon here are the same at night. Who opened the gorgeous curtain? Whose singing is like weeping and complaining? Delicate and beautiful The flowers withered and passed away, and the immortal breath lingered. Ah! Weary traveler, stop your steps. The most precious treasure, it is worth your long stay."

With the singing, her eyes gradually became clear, and the resentment from the past resurfaced again.Her gaze became cold and sharp, and she squeezed out three words from between her teeth: "Sa! Li! Ann!"

"He is dead." Vera's calm and composed voice came, "Did you forget? He sank to the bottom of the dark water with you."

The complicated expressions changed and intertwined on the girl's face. After a long time, she sighed, "Yes, he died too..."

The temporary confinement circle couldn't support it and fell apart.Kania's face became paler and paler, and the outline showed a trace of transparency.She lowered her eyelids and said wearily: "I'm tired, let's go. Now, you should be able to leave."

"Let's go?" Tails took two steps forward, leaned his face in front of Kania, and asked anxiously, "Where is the treasure? Where is the treasure?"

Kania gave him a complicated look, and said helplessly, "I'll take you there, stay away from me."

Leading them to the northwest corner of the palace, Kania pointed to a deep and shallow pit and said, "It's there."

Tails asked puzzledly: "Where? I only see a bunch of small pits... Hey! Wake up! Wake up!"

Kania has become translucent, and she lies on the ground peacefully, closing her eyes.

Vera patted Tails on the shoulder and said softly: "The resentment supporting her has dissipated, she won't last long, let her sleep for a while."

Among the deep and shallow pits, Vera found a stone tablet, which recorded: In the 348th year of the Tuttan calendar, Princess Monica asked Emperor Andrew: who is the treasure of the empire, she or Hot Spring?Emperor Andrew replied: You and the hot spring are the most precious treasures of the Tutan Empire.All this was recorded by the chief clerk and made into a stone tablet as a memorial.

After seeing the records on the stele, Tails forgot his reserve for the first time, and wailed in despair.

A strange roar came from above the head, the surrounding space distorted, and the power of the magic fluctuated wildly. Tails felt that the protective magic circle covering the entire palace was collapsing.

He looked back briefly from the pain of losing the treasure, and met the calm gaze of the upper Vala.Vera gave him a soothing smile and explained calmly, "It seems that Kania is the core of the guardian circle. The circle originally isolated this place from the outside world, so this place is so intact. Now she has disappeared , the magic circle lost its support, so..."

Hill answered indifferently, "So this place will overlap with the outside world, and we just have to wait for everything to pass."

Everything did not pass, the overwhelming flood flooded them, as well as the entire palace.Vera stood inside the barrier he propped up, and whistled easily, "It turned out to be the bottom of the lake, so you don't have to worry about dying of thirst now—it seems that Princess Monica's wish back then has really come true."

Hill frowned, and asked coldly: "This place is at least sixty feet deep, can you float up?"

"Isolation barrier, you say? Oh, no. It only works where it is."

"..."

Vera's voice sounded relaxed and cheerful, "My loyal servant, take us out quickly."

"Why? Why would I take someone out who lied to me? There is not even half a gold coin in this bloody place." Tails said proudly.Under the light of the light spell, his long golden hair shimmered in the dark bottom of the water.

"Do you need me to order you?"

"A year's shank of lamb! Black pepper and cabbage, and cattail leaves better."

"Three months."

"Stingy humans, nine months!"

"At most half a year."

"Humph!"

A gold coin appeared out of nowhere in Tails' hands.

Vera said happily: "A little bit of prize is counted as a reward for my loyal servant."

"Don't be drowned, mage." Tails began to change shape.

The golden dragon carried Vera and Hill across the lake, seeing the beautiful starry sky for the first time in a few days.

On the hillside by the lake, Tails, who had turned back into a human form, stared at Hill's back with hatred, and asked Vera in a low voice, "Why did you invite a priest of Erji to your mage tower? Your brain was stung by a bee gone?"

"He's useful."

"I didn't see it."

Vera showed a mysterious smile and whispered a few words in Tails' ear.

"Really." Skepticism was written on Tails' face.

"of course."

"For the sake of the treasure, I will reluctantly trust you."

Vera held out his hand, and Tails stared at him vigilantly.Slender fingers brushed his cheek, plucking a tangled weed from his blond hair.

"Don't think so much, let's go home."

After speaking, Vera walked towards the fire in front of Hill, skillfully flipping the barbecue.

The smell of barbecue mixed with cabbage lures Tails, he swallowed the saliva that was about to flow out, and walked over...
