Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

This is not a wide room, or rather, it shouldn't be called a room, it's more like a small hall connecting passages.A row of stairs leads from the water all the way to here. Tails and Vera came here along the water. Tails unexpectedly discovered that this place is actually full of air.In front of the small hall was a black iron door carved with ferocious monsters. The door was closed tightly, and there was a small narrow window above it. Behind the small window was endless darkness.The walls of the small hall are very smooth, without joints, apparently excavated.On the tawny rocks, mysterious runes form a graceful wavy line.The air here is very turbid, it seems that it has not been circulated for a long time, but fortunately, it is still air.

Tails and Vera stood on the edge of the stairs, each tidying up.

Tails was full of questions.When he first saw Vera, before he had time to ask, Vera signaled him to shut up temporarily. Afterwards, Vera took Tails around a corridor, swam up the high stairs, and left the dark place. Lake water, enter this small hall.

Breathing the familiar air, Tails felt relieved.He arched his body, holding the lake water out of his lungs, so that he could breathe freely.Now, he was finally able to smoothly ask questions in the turbid air, asking what he had been holding back for the whole journey.

"Despicable mage, why are you here? Where are Hill and Sally? What is this place?" Tails asked as he took off his wet vest and roasted it with a flame.Red-gold flames danced above his palms, dyeing his dripping blond hair a vivid red.Vera stood on the edge of the light, twisting her long hair slowly, watching him quietly.

Hearing Towers' question, Vera turned her head slightly, raised her eyebrows, glanced sideways at Towers, and answered in a tone that made Long Yagen sour: "About the first question, my dear servant, I think it's more important. Should have asked you. I don't think I would be here, much less risk drowning, to find my dear swimming servant, if I hadn't been thrown from my back by some stupid golden dragon. The second Question, I don’t know where they are, but they should be in a relatively safe place like us. As for the third question, I also want to know.”

"Damn mage! I didn't mean to." Tails continued to bake his vest, the firelight outlined his smooth muscles and the flexible lines of his waist, dancing on his skin.Tails raised his chin in the firelight, looked into Vera's eyes, and said, "As a mage, a mage who often boasts of his strength, Vera, I humbly let you ride on my back , and you still fall. I really want to know, is this the level of spell manipulation you often flaunt? Are your fingers glued together?"

"Oh? My dear servant, is this your attitude? After you recklessly approached the turbulence, and even more stupidly threw us all off?" Vera's long hair was loose and dripping.He had dried his robes at a small cost, but he clearly didn't want to waste energy on his hair.He twisted his long hair impatiently, and said, "Tals, I thought you would examine yourself first, it seems that I was wrong."

"Huh! Despicable mage, you should review your incompetence first!" Tails extinguished the fire and lit the crystal ball.After that, I shook the dry vest with satisfaction and put it on again.He suddenly remembered something and asked Vera, "Mage, where are my clothes?"

"Clothes?" Vera raised her slender eyebrows and asked casually, "What clothes?"

Tails glared at him, "My clothes! The clothes in your package! Huh? Where's your package?"

"lost."

"Lost it?" Tails looked at him suspiciously.

"Do you think that in that frenzied flow of water, I can take care of the spell-casting materials and that useless package at the same time?" Vera brushed her dripping hair back, and replied impatiently, "One last reminder, My dear servant, if you pay a little attention to the person on your back, then I think you will not be separated from your clothes at all now."

"..." Tails fell silent.

"Next." Vera took off the black robe neatly and threw it to Tails.

"I don't want to wear your clothes, it exudes a vile and mean taste." Tails muttered, and reluctantly put on Vera's clothes.Afterwards, he picked up the black robe that had been ripped from the corpse from his feet, and handed it to Vera, who was only wearing underwear, with bags hanging on her belt, "This robe looks good, it's yours."

Vera took the robe calmly, without asking where it came from or drying it, and put it on directly.

"Hey! Despicable mage, wait a minute." Tails snatched the wet black robe, frowned, approached Vera, reached out and rubbed his long hair that was still dripping, and asked in bewilderment, " Why not dry it?"

"It's very dangerous here, and my mental strength is very limited." Vera replied naturally.

"Uh... well, what you said makes sense." Tails called out the flame and began to bake the black robe and Vera's long black hair.

Before the clothes were dried, Tails and Vera exchanged their experiences with each other.After falling off Tails' back, Vera could only watch as Tails' figure went away. He didn't try to break free from the water flow, but put a barrier on himself, following the direction of the water flow, under the golden dragon's blessing and Come here before your spells are exhausted.As for Hill and Sally, Vera saw dimly, they seemed to be drawn into another rift.Vera has been resting here to restore the exhausted physical and mental strength, and he went into the water to look for Tails after he felt that he was nearby.According to Vera's speculation, if Hill and Sally hadn't been separated from each other, then they should be safe and sound.

"Despicable mage, how do you know I'm around?" Tails brushed Vera's long hair and toasted.

"Don't say you don't know, a few small positioning spells." Vera smiled.

Tails frowned, "Didn't those be lifted by Sally? I remember that I was always careful and didn't give you any chance."

"Oh, my dear servant, if even you can find out, then I might as well go to the tavern to perform. Okay, give me the clothes." Vera's smile at this moment is rare and sincere, diluting the meanness on his face . "Of course, Sally has some gadgets on him. If his life is really in danger, then I will know."

Vera carefully looked at the black robe in his hand, stroked every fold and every seam of it, and he gave a sincere admiration, "This is what you picked up from the mummy? My dear servant, this is really a good one." Things." He raised his head and smiled at Tails, "Don't hide, my dear servant, when I was in the water, I saw your bracelet full of black star stones. Now, put Bring it to me."

"Despicable mage, this is mine, don't try to take it away." Tails put his arms behind his back vigilantly, "I have already given you the clothes."

"Don't be nervous, I need to study it, it still belongs to you." Vera stepped forward, approached Tails, grabbed his arm, grabbed his wrist, and slowly and firmly pulled the Black Star Stone bracelet off .

"Hey, despicable mage, what are you doing?" Tails struggled.Vera's touch made him feel a little awkward, he couldn't help rubbing his wrists, and glared at Vera fiercely, "That's mine!"

"My dear servant, it is yours, but I don't think you know what it is." Vera comforted Tails while studying the statuettes that made up the bracelet.

"what is it?"

"do not know."

"you!"

"So, I need to do some research. If it's dangerous, I don't have the confidence to keep your arm." Vera said lightly.

"...Okay." Tails was discouraged and no longer tried to get back his property, "I said, despicable mage, you really don't know what this place is?"

"do not know."

"Could it be... a tomb? It... is buried deep underground, and there are many bones." In the dim light of the crystal ball, Tars's golden-brown eyes gleamed, "I heard that humans like When you die, take a heap of treasure with you, and bury yourself in the heap of treasure."

"It seems that I should confiscate your adventure stories." Vera's eyes were tightly glued to the Black Star Stone bracelet, slowly turning the small statue on it, "Although I don't know where it is, I can conclude that , it is not a mausoleum."

Disappointment hit mercilessly, Tails took a deep breath to calm down his injured mood, "Then where is it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a temple."

"The temple? Shouldn't the temple be built on flat ground, or on a high mountain, with a towering roof and glittering golden walls?" Tails didn't believe it at all.

"Great Lord of Shadows, the temple of Urgi. My dear servant, you have been disappointed."
