Lord Helanza

After finding the salamander nests hidden deep in the lava mines, Ogre Gulitum has regarded the salamanders in these caves as'yellow sheep in the sheep pen.'

'Since these salamanders live in Surdak's territory, of course they are the private property of Surdak Baron. After Gulitum figured this out, he stopped hunting the group of salamanders and stopped drying the dried salamander meat. Ogre believes that living salamanders are more valuable than dead ones.

As for the salamander covered with spar residues, it is one of the few Arcane Fire lizards in the salamander group, and it is also the salamander leader in the salamander group. One of them, but he seems to have been driven out of the group by the leader of the salamander group, so he can only wander around in the lava mine, and there is no fixed nest.

Once this fixed nest salamander climbs out of the cave, it is a terrifying potential threat to the kobold slaves in the Lava River Mine.

So Gulitum has been looking for the salamander recently, hoping to hunt that big guy.

ogre Gullitum and the salamander did encounter twice in the cave. As a third-level demonic beast, the guy is not too afraid of Gullitum, twice. After the war, Gullitm didn't take advantage of anything. When Surdak met him, he was hurt a bit.

Although the wound healed quickly under the treatment of Holy Light Technique, this aroused the stubborn temper of ogre in the bones.

He sharpened one end of some steel bars to the extreme. These steel bars were inserted into the crevices one by one, waiting for the crystalline salamander to pass through these crevices. If the salamander didn’t want to Being trapped in a cage of woven steel bars is bound to make the sharp steel bars pierce through the stomach.

These steel bars were brought to him by the carriage for the sulfur ore from Wall Village. These short steel bars were basically cut off from the main frame of the reservoir and dam. The villagers liked it. Use these steel bars to build tools such as sickles, machetes, picks, and chisels. Some hunters in the village like to use these steel bars to create short spear tips and arrows to hunt the limestone iguanas in Desolate Land.

There is still a lot left in the warehouse. Hearing that Gullitum needs it, the carriage husband in the village brought a bundle to Gullitum. Gullitum found a whetstone. Polish these steel bars to look like sharp spear tips. .

In recent days, he has been wandering deep in the cave, using some sulfur as bait, trying to introduce the crystallized salamander into the trap, but the salamander seems to have activated the primary level of wisdom. Regarding the large number of traps in the crevices, I have only recently been willing to hide in the hot lava pool. Even if Gullitm just appeared, it will be like a frog by the river, and jumped into the lava pool with a'thump'. , Swaying the giant tail to dive to the bottom quickly.

The crystalline salamander everyday all has to fight against ogre Guliterm. This is probably the source of ogre’s daily joy.

This kind of battle will not polish Ogre's fighting skills, but it will make him more mindful when dealing with prey.

……

Surdak brought some dried salamander meat into the treasure room. It was much better than scones and marching rations, although he was occasionally caught Aphrodite summon goes to the enchanted airship and eats a dinner carefully cooked by the enchanted airship chef.

But more often, he still has to squat alone in the secret room to eat baked granola.

At this time, it’s also a good choice to fire the lizard’s jerky.

I was immersed in the Divine Consciousness Sea in Surdak and studied the fourth rune "Nuff" seriously. He has now figured out that learning the reading and writing of these runes is only the most basic, so that It's just that I understand the most basic pronunciation of Dragon Language, and each sentence of Dragon Language is composed of these rune arrangements.

These runes also gave Surdak a glimpse of the Profound Truth of magic for the first time. Although this is a little different from the magical principle of incantation and magic pattern array currently mastered by humans, it is magic in the original sense. . It’s just that every time you learn one more rune, the ways of permuting and combining these runes multiply. Surdak has passed the optimal age for learning. Therefore, facing the frenzied bombardment of these runes, every time he is about to break down. Will withdraw from the Divine Consciousness Sea to rest.

Continuous meditation again and again, unconsciously, continuously strengthened his spirit Divine Consciousness Sea.

Although his cultivation in power has stagnated, the Divine Consciousness Sea has nearly doubled in size recently. He has seen a larger Star Domain in the Divine Consciousness Sea.

……

The red dragon once again passed through the stone wall of the war relief into the secret room, and the lightly Dragon's Might instantly enveloped the entire treasure secret room.

There was a strong smell of sulphur fireworks in the cave. This time it seemed to be unable to control itself. When it turned its head, it hit a stone pillar in the treasure chamber, and suddenly cut that root in half. The stone pillar hit all split up and in pieces, and fell into the secret room.

It buried its head in the golden sand pile full of Gold Coins, and felt the red crystal in the golden sand pile with its less sensitive lips. It urgently needed to eat some red crystal to restore the body's rapidity. The dissipated energy, only those golden light glittering Gold Coins, has become the biggest obstacle to its eating.

It shook the faucet a little impatiently, and turned to see Surdak sitting on a cast iron chair. It approached Surdak and stared at Surdak’s body with huge eyes, although his eyes were puzzling. Doubt, but did not make any offensive actions.

It sniffed the smell of Surdak's body seriously, a pair of giant eyes stared at the keel necklace on Surdak's neck, and with the instinct possessed by its tyrannical body, it felt the instinct and in front of it. A human being connected to several faintly discernable lines of fate, the irritable emotions in his heart suddenly became quiet, it took a few lightly breaths, and a burst of sleepiness surged from the depths of its body.

The chin covered with spines and scales lay on the stone platform, the huge dragon head leaned on the dragon saddle cover made by Thorium, and slowly closed his eyes, before snoring unexpectedly.

...

Surdak wakes up from the Divine Consciousness Sea, he feels slightly exhausted, and he needs to eat something to replenish his physical strength.

When he opened his eyes, a huge red dragon head full of scales appeared in front of him. Seeing the red dragon this time, Surdak was not surprised.

He stepped down from the cast iron chair and walked as lightly as possible to the dragon head covered with crystal red scales. It was the first time to observe this huge monster so close, Surdak found it on him. Those scales seemed to be arranged in a certain mysterious order. Each scale contained countless magic patterns. The countless scales made these magic patterns spliced ​​into a giant Great Demon pattern array, forming the first natural barrier of its body.

Those tenacious and huge scales are the 2nd defensive barrier of its body. The neck of this red dragon is about ten meters long. Near the war relief stone wall, you can already see the gorgeous red dragon. The wishbone of the shoulder and neck, the dragon skin on the neck looked a little loose, and there was a row of sharp thorn-like dragon bristles on the back.

Surdak found that its neck seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. Although only a few pieces of dragon scales were cut, this wound made Surdak clearly know in his heart that this red dragon lived The world is also full of crises.

It was almost a habit, Surdak extended the hand, a trace of Holy Light Power gushing out of the palm of his hand, and then the holy light fell on the red dragon’s wound.

It seems that a beam of light shines into the red dragon’s wound from top to bottom, quickly healing the wound on the red dragon’s neck. The red dragon seems to have felt the pain, and made a deep sound in his sleep. The roar, then the pair of giant eyes larger than coconut opened, staring at Surdak standing in front of it.

Surdak didn't retract his hand, but instead used the Holy Light Technique again in front of it.

Red Dragon let out a low growl again, looking at the gaze in its eyes, it was obviously'You hurt me'.

Surdak took a step back and stopped the movement in his hand. The angry red dragon also calmed down. It didn't even raise its head. It just lay on the stone platform like this. Most of the body was on the stone platform. On the other side of the relief stone wall, a pair of spirituality eyes stared at Surdak curiously.

Surdak knows it has the habit of eating red crystals. This time he brought some red crystals from the sulfur mine specifically for the red dragon. Of course, he has to take out the food at this time.

Seeing the red crystal, the red dragon finally stopped drowsily lying on the ground. It gently shook its head and took the initiative to move to Surdak's side, staring at the red crystal in Surdak’s hands with big eyes. The expression on those eyes is clearly, "Why don't you feed me? '

With complete eye contact, you can clearly express your thoughts, and Surdak no longer delays, and quickly threw the prepared red crystals into the red dragon's mouth.

When it chews the red crystal, the crisp sound of'ka beng ka beng' is like chewing carrots, as if to show its joyful mood, but it has to lean the faucet against Surdak, sharpening the teeth every time Crushing the red crystal, all crystal shards splashing around, matched with the saliva like lava in its mouth, is also full of lethality for a while.

Surdak stepped back two steps, pulled out a salamander jerky like a French stick from the magic pocket, took out a skinning knife and cut off a piece on it, and threw it in his mouth to signal that he too Want to eat.

The red dragon was chewing on the red crystal and staring at the salamander jerky in Surdak's hand. The baguette-like jerky in the eyes of the red dragon is more like a toothpick meat strip, but it is still Unwilling to let it go, a pair of giant eyes stared at Surdak, the eyes full of expectation.

Surdak shook a large piece of dried salamander meat in his hand: "The salamander meat is very dry. You shouldn't like it. Next time I will get some more red crystals!"

p>

Speaking, he cut a piece with a skinning knife and stuffed it into his mouth. The red dragon stubbornly got closer, and the fireworks from his mouth choked Surdak into coughing again and again. Surdak stepped back again. Lifting the dried salamander meat, he said to the red dragon: "This is not very tasty, look... Are you sure you want to try it?... Salamander meat?"

The red dragon continued to move towards Surdak Leaning over in his arms, Surdak reluctantly threw the whole jerky into the red dragon’s mouth. After thinking for a while, he pulled out all the jerky from his pockets and stuffed it into the red dragon’s mouth, only to see that it was flowing. Gently rolled with the coveted tongue, all the jerky was swallowed directly into the stomach without chewing.

Surdak stood in place with his mouth open and a face of clear comprehension. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the red dragon’s appetite. Preparing these foods by himself was more like a snack for him. , But Surdak immediately discovered that this dragon really has such a large appetite, even if he has a mine, he can't afford it.

Looking at its appearance, it is clear that it does not know Dragon Language and Imperial Language.

Surdak doesn’t know the extent to which a red dragon can learn a language. Duke Angus Bradbury has been dead for at least 800 years, and the red dragon Lord Johannes was shortly thereafter. Dead, this red dragon should be about 800 years old. For a giant dragon whose lifespan can reach several thousand years, it is indeed a young red dragon that has just left its infancy.

After it ate a little, it saw that Surdak was no longer feeding, so he continued to drowsily lie on the stone platform, no longer paid attention to Surdak.

This red dragon can lie beside Surdak like this, obviously it already has a certain trust and a good impression on Surdak.

Surdak has already begun to realize that these Dragon Languages ​​are likely to be handed over to this dragon, and this red dragon should be Ithel among the large population of Johannes.

Surdak also has nodded pain. This red dragon looks like a stocked pig. It doesn't seem to understand anything except survival instinct.

Looking at the scales on his arm, he still stayed at six. Surdak left the treasure secret room again, returned to the sulfur camp, packed his magic waist pack full of red crystals, and brought some dried salamander meat. , And only then returned to the treasure secret room with Selena's reluctant gaze.

When he hurried back to the secret room, the red dragon was already not in the secret room.

Surdak then settled down to continue learning those runes.

At this time, the seventh scale has grown on his arm. These thumb-sized scales have formed a small piece on his right arm, and each scale is glowing with light azure, only There is a slight red on the edge.

When these scales grow, it is also the process of the body and dragon blood slowly merging. Surdak found that the body is undergoing some unnoticeable influence strengthening, no matter the strength is agile, or the balance and coordination are obviously stronger , He courageously tried to use a skinning knife to make a wound on his arm. The skin actually formed a natural repulsive force, and the knife only made a white shallow mark on the arm because it didn't infuse power.

At this time, Aphrodite passed the summon signal.

Surdak looked at the summon array that emerged from under his feet, a Void Portal slowly emerged in front of him, and walked into the Void Portal smoothly.

In the next second, Surdak appeared in the narrow cabin of the magic airship. Looking out the window, the magic airship was slowly descending.

Aphrodite is already neatly dressed, disguising herself as a young Knight, looking at Surdak expectantly.

"Pena city is coming soon, I thought about it, or you take me out and find a reliable place to stay. It's better than me rushing around..."

Aphrodite smiled to Surdak.

"Okay! Pena city has been here several times, and I know there is a decent hotel in the city." Surdak said.

He was covered with volcanic ash, and he looked like a miner who had experienced a mining disaster, so he went into the washroom and simply cleaned up. After all, he was named Baron in front of outsiders, and nobles should have nobles. Looks like...
