Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Curse and death are the eternal themes of the Temple of the Lord of Shadows, especially the huge temple where Tails and Vera are currently located.The breath of death is everywhere. On the wall, on the ground, and on the top, the rough lines outline mysterious runes and concise pictures. These vivid pictures record the glorious legend of the Lord of Shadows and the sacrificial process again and again.These processes are often bloody, and even through this simple line, the pain of those sacrifices still jumps out.These sacrifices are of various types, covering almost all the species on this continent, including human race, wood spirits, fish, winged race, and even dragon race.And when they walked along the way, the fragmented bones that could be seen everywhere also confirmed this point.The dungeon that Tails passed before was probably the temporary residence of the sacrifices.

According to Vera's deduction, the temple should extend from the hot spring to the mountainside.At this point, they came to the intersection of two corridors.

"Which way to go? Despicable mage." Tails lit up the crystal ball tied to his wrist again, and tugged at the clothes on his body while observing the surroundings.Vera's black robe was thick and baggy, but it was a little tight at the armpits.Tails had never worn such cumbersome clothes and was not used to it.The wide sleeves and hem of the robe made him feel inconvenient, and, without the shirt and tight trousers, the velvet robe rubbed against his bare skin from time to time, which made him feel a little strange.

Vera didn't answer his question, but raised her head, looked at Tails's rude movements, and asked easily: "My dear servant, do you want to tear your clothes? Or do you just feel that your armpits are a little tight?"

"This garment is as difficult to deal with as its owner, despicable mage." Tails continued tugging on the sleeve.

"Don't move." Vera approached Tails.

"Huh? What do you want to do again? Don't say you regret it, I won't return the clothes to you. No!" Tails suddenly remembered something, grabbed the black star stone bracelet on his wrist, and stared at Wei Wei vigilantly. La, "You despicable mage, as I said, this is mine."

It was hard to snatch the bracelet back from the mage, and it must not be taken away by him again.

"Don't move, my dear servant. Or do you prefer me to order you?" Vera's tone was very pleasant, and her slender black eyes narrowed, which made Tails even more vigilant.

Tails held his head proudly, waiting for the dastardly mage to pull out his usual tricks.Vera approached him, took out a pinch of powder, sandwiched it between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and stretched it towards Tails.Tails snorted secretly, did not move, and observed vigilantly.

Fingers getting closer, Vera sprinkled the powder under his left shoulder and began to chant under his breath.As he chanted, Tails felt the clothes under his armpits loosen and no longer tight.

Vera smiled, took another pinch of powder, and applied the law under Tails' right shoulder.This time, his singing was exceptionally clear.After casting the spell, he patted Tails on the shoulder with satisfaction, narrowed his slender black eyes and looked at him, and said softly: "Magnification, remember this little spell, but don't use it casually, if it is not controlled properly, it will cause The consequences of this are likely to be much more serious than you imagined. For example, a thick arm with a ruptured blood vessel. Just imagine, that scene could be very... beautiful?"

Saying that, Vera laughed briefly, almost unprecedentedly.Different from that hypocritical and deliberate laugh, the mage's laughter at this time is filled with pure joy from the heart.

Tails silently repeated the mage's chanting just now, and secretly moved his shoulders.The robe is now very comfortable and does not feel tight at all.The mage was very close to him now, so close that Tails could clearly hear his soft breathing.

There was silence.

The darkness is deep, and in the boundless darkness, only here is a shimmering light.

The soft twilight shone on Vera's face, his black eyes were extraordinarily deep in the shadow of the twilight, and the naturally curved corners of his mouth diluted his usual harshness, making him softer.

At this moment, in this underground temple shrouded in the breath of death, the mage rarely shed his usual hypocrisy, revealing a little joy that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

Vera's long black hair fell down and merged with the black robe, changing shadows in the dim light.Although it was also dark, Vera seemed to be stripped from the darkness at this moment, showing a warmth and brightness that suited his age.Tails stared at him blankly, as if it was the first time he knew this mage who didn't seem so vile and mean.

The heart beat faster, and a strange feeling came to my heart, and the mage in front of me became a little hard to look at.Tails turned his head slightly, lowered his eyelids, pretending to check the crystal ball on his wrist.The atmosphere became a little weird, and Tails felt that he had to say something, but somehow, he found it difficult to speak, and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the crystal ball went out just right.

Darkness engulfed the place in an instant.

In the darkness where it was difficult to see, Tails breathed a long sigh of relief.The mage's breathing was clearer in the dark, and it fell clearly on Tails' eardrum, which made him feel even more embarrassed.The crystal ball should be lit, Tails told himself.But he didn't move for a long time. In the deep silence, he heard his heartbeat clearly—a little faster than usual.

Vera's voice sounded in the darkness, as soft as a sigh, and he said softly, "Tals, your temperature has risen."

"You, how do you know?" At the same time Vera's words fell into Tails' ears, he felt the blood all over his body concentrate on his face instantly, and his cheeks burned quickly. This strange feeling made him unable to choose , asked subconsciously. "Despicable mage, you... don't talk nonsense."

"Darkvision, my dear servant. You know, it can easily judge the temperature." Vera's voice was relaxed and cheerful, with a hint of indescribable pride.

"I...you...huh! Despicable mage!" Tails gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget, what are we here for? Hill and Sally's whereabouts are unknown, and you are wasting time here!"

"Oh? Don't you think it's a waste of time for me to adjust the clothes for my loyal servant?" Vera said with a smile, "Well, I remember, so you like to wear clothes that don't fit. About this A little liking, of course I won't disappoint you in the future."

"You! Despicable, insidious, shameless evil mage!"

"Well, my dear servant, light up the crystal ball, and don't forget that Hill and Sally are still missing."

The crystal ball lights up.

Vera's smiling face appeared in front of Tails' eyes, and he turned his head awkwardly, looking for the next path to take.

"My dear servant, which side do you think has the strongest breath of death?" Vera put away her smile and said seriously.

Tails frowned slightly, making judgments.After a while, he pointed to the direction to the left and said firmly, "Here."

"Very well, let's go."

"Hmm." Tails raised his leg and walked towards the dark passage on the left.

"Wait." Vera stopped him.

"Despicable mage, what tricks do you have?" Tails asked impatiently.

"I'll go ahead."

"Why?" Tails asked puzzled.What kind of trap is this?

"It's dangerous here."

"Oh? Shouldn't a guy like you stay back and wait for others to open the way for you?" Tails raised his eyebrows and said proudly.

"Employers have an obligation to protect the safety of their servants."

"Hmph! Mage, do you think I need your protection? I am..." Tails said dissatisfied.

"Golden Dragon." Vera interrupted him calmly, "Tals, this place is very narrow, and I am a mage."

"Magic is my talent."

"Tals, you go behind, this is an order."

"..." Tails watched unwillingly as the mage passed him, lit a small torch, and walked towards the deep darkness ahead.

stupid guy.Tails groaned and followed.
