Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Night had fallen, and Tails leaned against the golden quartz stone and looked at the stars in the sky.The weather was clear, without clouds, and the starlight was as beautiful as diamonds scattered in black velvet, shining far and brightly.

Beautiful, but cold.

The back and buttocks were hurting, but Tails didn't seem to notice it. He pressed against the rock and raised his head, as if his soul was sucked by the starlight.The night wind rolled up his blond hair and whipped his cheeks, making his skin itchy. Tails remained motionless and stubbornly fixed his gaze in the depths of the starlight.

In the gaps between the stars, there is a profound darkness.

Under the vast and endless night sky, for the first time, Tails experienced the sorrow that penetrated into the soul.

Although imprisoned by the mage, he still had a desire to be close to the mage, to be a true companion, to communicate and get along with each other on an equal footing, to...touch him.For a moment, he even had the idea of ​​protecting the mage until the end of his life.Even after knowing what the mage has done, after many twists and turns, he just hopes to regain his freedom, and still has unrealistic illusions about the mage.

And now...

Hearing the mage's merciless words with his own ears, Tails felt that he was ridiculously naive and stupid.In front of the mage, he was just a slave who was easy to drive and possessed great power. The mage could indifferently threaten Inosus with the pain he might endure, but he... was still worried about that despicable human being.

The anger and unwillingness have long passed, and now Tais only finds it ridiculous.

Inosus hadn't returned yet, and the standoff between him and the mage, Tails, hadn't cared much.The mage's tower is well-defended, but there's no way the Valar can actually do damage to Inosus.

Both legs were numb, Tails stood up, stretched his arms, turned into a dragon shape, and flew to the vast sky.

The sky is vast, but he can only be trapped in a corner.

By the time Tais landed on the mountain again, Inosus had already returned.The proud old golden dragon perched on the quartz rock, and nodded slightly when he saw Tais return.

Tails paid tribute to him, but never asked about today's result.

After a period of silence, Inosus spoke first: "Tals, what kind of guy do you think that human mage is?"

"..." Words such as "despicable", "shameless", and "evil" that are usually on his lips are all blocked in Tails' throat at this moment, and he can't utter a single word.So, shaking his huge head, he said, "I don't want to mention him."

"No, we have to talk about that mage and his mage tower. Tails, I know you heard some of that mage's words. So, let me ask you, are you willing to accompany that mage until the end of his life? "

Tails shook his head.

"Very well. Then, you know, I wanted to talk to that mage, but he locked himself in that tower and never communicated with me properly." Inossus blinked slyly, "This It's not conducive to our communication, I don't like being blocked outside the tower, you know, it's very rude."

Tails listened quietly and agreed.

"The mage suggested to me that I should have a good talk with him. But this kind of hospitality is disrespectful to me, so, I want to enter that mage's tower, visit its owner, and have a cup of tea with him , have a taste of the delicious food he boasted about. By the way, let’s talk about the ones we need to communicate in depth.” Inossus said sincerely, “Tals, can you do me this little favor? Find a way to let I can bypass these obstacles and talk to the mage face to face, uh, and you don't have to worry about the mage's safety at all, you know, in human form, I'm no match for him."

After finishing speaking, he stared closely at Tails' eyes, conveying his sincerity with his eyes, as if he really wouldn't pose any threat to the mage.

After a long silence, Tails nodded.

After the baptism of Inossus' spells and breath, the outer wall of the mage's tower is still solid.Inosus failed to break through the guardian circle, and Vera finally showed signs of fatigue.Maintaining the magic circle confrontation requires mental strength, so after Inosus left, the mage should have entered meditation.

Under the cover of night, Inosus and Towers came near the mage's tower.All the guardian circles are in operation, on alert, ready to block external attacks at any time.According to Tails' instructions, Inosus successfully found the foundation of the mage tower's guardian circle—eight deep-buried Black Star Stones with heavy protection, and the burial location was completely invisible.

The power source of the magic circle is maintained by these black star stones, and the control center is hidden in Vera's research room.These black star stones are next to the mage tower, protected by the magic circle, and it is difficult to be destroyed.So Inossus guards near one of the burial spots, and Tails will sneak into the mage tower, interfere with the control center, and create opportunities for Inossus to destroy it.

In order to make it easier for herself and Tails to enter and exit the Mage Tower, Vera once specially set up a secret magic circle, which can be used ten times in total. It can be activated by special spells and can send specific targets directly to the second floor of the Mage Tower.

In order to make up for the loss of the day, the mage must be meditating at this moment.Now entering the mage tower, Tails is [-]% sure that the mage will not be discovered.

Inossus found a suitable place, and after covering himself with a spell, he took out the spell-casting medium he had brought a long way away, and began to draw a magic circle.And Tails went to activate the secret magic circle.

The infiltration process went very smoothly, and the mage is not in the research room at the moment.Tails made himself look exactly like the wall, and quietly opened the door of the research room.Along the way, he kept telling himself that he was only here to help Inosus and the mage meet, and all of this would never threaten the mage's life.After all, Inossus almost never lied.After self-suggestion, Tails almost completely believed that he was only here to create an opportunity for the mage to "communicate" with Inosus.

Now, Tails stood in the empty research room, facing the wall covered with patterns behind the black chestnut desk, feeling extremely complicated.When the mage told him how to use this guardian circle, he never thought that one day, he would come to destroy it.The mage's harsh words were still in his ears, Tails pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to the center of the decoration.

It is very difficult to destroy the magic circle, all he has to do is to temporarily stop it and reveal a slit.After that, he will leave here as quickly as possible, before the mage reacts, so as not to face the mage directly and be controlled by him.

Tails gritted his teeth, put his palm on the center of the decoration, chanted a mantra in a low voice, controlled the magic circle, and made it stop running.

In no time, he had done everything needed.

There was a vibration under the mage tower, and Inosus seized the opportunity.Tails turned and jumped out of the window of the research room, turned into a dragon, and left quickly.

What Tails didn't see was that behind him, in the corner of the research room, a figure slowly walked out, approached the window, hid in the shadows, and watched the figure of the golden dragon disappear into the night sky.
