Arcane Journey

Chapter 153 The Dragon's 'Zhang Yin'



Chapter 153 The Dragon's 'Echo'

The dracolich writhed wildly in the flames, but because of its low strength, it was impossible to break free from the shackles of the flame storm.

Brian also discovered that with the explosion of the fireball, the raging flames did not disappear, but were absorbed by the vortex, and the volume suddenly increased by a few points.

After understanding the principle, he took a deep breath, and used the little arcane energy left to activate "Magic Rapid Fire" and "Arcane Twins" again.

Guided by him, fireballs the size of washbasins smashed into the vortex of flames, making bursts of violent explosion sounds, and the flames in the vortex also jumped up suddenly, and the scorching heat even distorted the air.

Since the other party is a dracolich and possesses the existence of the phylactery, without destroying it, even if he is killed, he will not be able to gain any experience, so naturally he will not think about taking the head.

Accompanied by the raging flames, which lasted until they were extinguished, the scorched bones of the dracolich fell to the ground, and the soul fire in the eye sockets also became very dim.

Just when he was struggling to get up, the dragon body of the ancient silver dragon that covered the sky and the sun suddenly appeared, even though he didn't display the majesty of the dragon, he still exuded a suffocating breath.

He opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of bone-chilling cold air, which instantly extinguished the vortex of violently burning flames, and the frost covered the dracolich at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing it into a crystal clear ice sculpture.

"boom!"

A gust of wind blew past, and the bones of the dracolich, which had undergone the two-level baptism of ice and fire, showed dense cracks, and finally turned into debris on the ground, and the soul fire in the eye sockets was also extinguished, allowing his soul to return to the phylactery , for the next reincarnation.

Generally speaking, no matter what kind of Lich it is, the place where they store their phylactery has spare corpses to prevent accidental death and restore combat effectiveness.

Looking at the dead dracolich, Brian smiled slightly, because he happened to know where the blue dracolich's phylactery was hidden.

However, now is not the time for him to go there. There are ruins of a floating city buried deep in the desert. He needs to go to the library of Silvermoon City to find a magic book to get the specific location.

And what moved him the most was that in the ruins of the Floating Void City there was a Nether scroll that recorded the knowledge of constructing creatures.

"Well, I appeared in time enough." Silver Wing turned into the form of a half-elf bard again, walked up to Brian, said with a smile, then looked at the red dragon curiously, and said with a smirk , "There is also a chubby little red dragon."

Argotus shrank his eyes in fright, and quickly crawled on the ground, hiding his head behind Brian.

Little did he know that his head was bigger than Brian's body, and he looked rather funny.

Seeing Argotus who was trembling with fear from Silver Wing's invisible aura, Brian patted his head and motioned him to support the battle ahead.

Then, he glanced at the destroyed skeleton of the dracolich, and said with regret:
"It's timely, but you shouldn't make a move. I originally planned to make it into a dragon skeleton golem, but now it's all right, you messed it up."

After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the battlefield, and found that the army in the City of Shadows had begun to flee, and his men only gave a symbolic chase before starting to clean up the battlefield.

The members of the Silver Scholars Association headed by Ru Yin also came down, taking out a bunch of tools according to his instructions, taking out the soul cores from the bodies of more than 200 constructed golems and gargoyles, and making them completely Lose momentum.

Looking at the golems, Brian smiled contentedly.

This is the biggest gain after winning the battle. After all, to make an ordinary stone golem, the conservative cost is about 30000 gold coins.

What's more, there are more than 200 statues in front of me, and most of them are intact. As long as they are all brought back, after simple modification, they can function again.

"How was the battle over there?" Seeing the red dragon flying away with relief, chasing after the fleeing enemies like joy, he asked Silver Wing.

"That cunning fellow Hajhorna found me. The two of us had a fight. When we saw the female lord of Araby City appear, this fellow ran away quickly."

Silver Wing seemed to have thought of something interesting, smiled, turned his face straight again, and said to Brian, "I originally planned to wait until you built the Wizard Tower before leaving, but my identity has been exposed, and I'm worried that North The safety of the land, so I'm very sorry, I can't stay here for a long time."

"I see, you don't need to apologize for this, Your Excellency Silver Wing."

Brian nodded slightly, and the two said as they walked, "Anyway, I'm still very grateful for your help. If there is anything that needs help in the future, I will definitely help."

If there is no Silver Wing, an ancient giant dragon, who keeps helping me collect intelligence on the enemy like opening the whole map, it would be impossible for him to fight so smoothly.

This is the importance of intelligence. The most important thing is that the other party also helped him block the most threatening Haj Horner.

Otherwise, no matter how well he arranged it, the female lord of Araby City would not be a match for Hajhorner who owns the Shadow Dragon without the support of the Mage Tower.

At that time, this battlefield will become an offensive and defensive battle in Mokou Town, and the losses caused will be even more unimaginable.

Hearing the sincerity in Brian's words, Silver Wing waved his hands and said indifferently, "That's unnecessary, after all, you can't help me anything."

"That's not sure." Brian thought about it, organized his words, and said to him, "Don't you want to know about the 'Echo'?"

After listening to Brian's words, Silver Wing's footsteps paused so suddenly that he couldn't hold back his strength, and stepped on a deep hole on the hard rocky ground.

He looked at Brian in disbelief, "How do you know?"

"Accidentally learned."

Brian didn't explain too much, "I heard that Toril's twin world, Abel, is a world dominated by gods, dragons, and elementals. In short, if there is any need for help in the future, I will definitely help. "

Abel World will return in the future, and this cannot be changed.

And the location where this world returns happens to be the location of Halrua, another descendant of the Arcane Empire, the Magic Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Harua will play a pivotal role in his future plans, and it is the most critical step in his establishment of the floating city.

After all, with his current strength and influence, although it is possible to cultivate a large number of magic talents like the City of Shadows, time does not allow it.

And Harua, the magic kingdom of the good camp, fully met his needs.

Moreover, the human beings in the small world where he was reborn are a branch of the Haruah, so naturally he can be regarded as a true Harua.

He has already made a plan in his heart, and when his strength rises above the legendary level, he will return to the Haruah Kingdom as a remnant, and then try his best to enter the Elder Council of Haruah's high-level council, and finally gain control of the kingdom s right.

Then build a floating city based on the spellcasters of this kingdom, to fight against the ghost city and occupy the Ennook Desert.

This also means that when Abel's world returns, he will assist the kingdom in migrating, or face the threat of native invaders from Abel's world.

As for the so-called 'echo', it means that when a dragon's strength reaches the ancient stage, he will hear an 'echo' from other worlds at a certain moment.

A true dragon can exist simultaneously in different physical worlds, but is generally unaware of each other.

In the growth stage of the dragon, it is divided into:
雏龙(0-5年)、幼龙(6-15年)、少年(16-25年)、青少年(26-50年)、青年(51-100年)、成年(101-200年)、壮年(201-400年)、老年(401-600年)、极老(601-800年)、古老(801-1000年)、上古(1001-1201年)、远古(1200年以上)。

Strictly speaking, the lifespan of giant dragons is about 2000 years old, and their strength will stop at that of ancient dragons, which is equivalent to high-level legends.

But when a giant dragon lived to be over 1200 years old, that is, the stage of ancient times, their sensitivity to the 'echo' would become stronger and stronger.

If they can gather all the "echoes" in the material world, they can become the only ancient dragon in Tianyu, the entire country, with immortal life and strength comparable to demigods (weaker divine powers) in the true sense.

Belonging to the dragon family, under the gods, the most powerful dragon.

It is a pity that in the long river of time, only a few ancient giant dragons appeared in the distant dawn era (that is, the second era after the disappearance of the three creator races).

In the subsequent era, no dragon with great talent has ever reached this level.

The root cause of this situation is that Abel, the twin world of Toril, was sealed by the god Io.

And what caused the return of Abel's world was precisely because of the "Arcanian Catastrophe", a catastrophe that hurt the origin of the world.

Scholars use the cataclysmic events of the Havoc of the Saints in the Year of Shadows (1358 DR) as the beginning of the Age of Upheaval.

Few of the people living in that era could have predicted that the chaos of the turbulent years was just the prelude to the Arcane catastrophe, and the catastrophic fusion of the two worlds that was about to happen.

Although the intersection with Abel only lasted for a short time, the trace it left on Toril was significant and long-lasting.

Even as the gods feel fear for the first time in untold centuries, the gods have become few in number, and the long-exiled wild gods have returned to stand against them and sow chaos throughout the realms of the universe.

That is, at this point in time, the world of Abel, which was briefly merged, completely merged with the world of Toril to form a big world.

At this time, the True Dragon Clan also found a way to break through the ancient dragon, and the sprout of the Arcane Empire also burst out from the Harua Kingdom during this time period.

"It seems that you know a lot. It's no wonder that little girl, Hellist, can't leave you so much."

The smile on Silver Wing's face froze, and for the first time he looked at Brian carefully with the most serious attitude.

After a long time, he said in a rather solemn tone: "Then I look forward to that day, and hope you won't let me down."

Hearing the other party mention his companion, Brian sighed softly in his heart.

After all, the burden of saving the world falls on him, and of course she cannot do without herself.

He quickly put away the trace of worry on his face, smiled and said to Silver Wing, "Since I have obtained your approval, do I need to express it, such as giving me some of your ancient dragon scales."

The role of dragon scales is not just to transform war shapers, it is also the main material for making magic scrolls with six rings or more, mainly by grinding them into powder and acting as ink.

Because other inks used to transcribe scrolls basically bear the huge power contained in high-level spells.

It is said that the ritual material of Karthus' twelve-ring apotheosis technique was made by soaking the scales and stomach of the ancient golden dragon in the blood of the legendary Tarasque giant beast and the bile of the twelve legendary snake lizards. .

Therefore, the scales of the ancient dragon are top-level spell-casting materials.

For Brian, the more the better.

But the scales of the ancient giant dragon will fall off one by one in a year.

If it falls off involuntarily, it will take at least a year to grow a piece, unless you kill a giant dragon and peel it off completely.

"This is my early investment in you." Silver Wing smiled nonchalantly, took out five dragon scales and handed them to him.

Brian naturally accepted it unceremoniously.

Originally, he planned to ask the other party if he had golden dragon scales on his body, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this kind of request was very rude, and it was indirectly equivalent to asking the other party for his wife's underwear.

He didn't think that this guy could say something like 'brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes'.

"Farewell. See you in Silvermoon City if there is a chance." After Longlin handed it over, Silver Wing left a word and disappeared on the starlight circle.

"See you soon." Brian replied casually, because he had already decided to go to Silvermoon City as soon as possible after the matter here was settled.

As for whether Silver Wing's departure would cause the legendary professionals in the City of Shadows to stare at him, he was actually not worried at all.

Because what he expected was right, the people of the City of Shadows had discovered news about a small number of Felin Mokui escaping from the seal during this period of time.

They will immediately attract high attention like a frightened bird.

He didn't think about it anymore, and walked quickly to the battlefield.

It was discovered that the people in the City of Shadows had completely dispersed, and the surviving warriors did not pursue too deeply. Many of them sat down on the ground to rest, and only the red dragon Argotus was still flying in the sky, playing with some escapers excitedly.

A wounded poet leaned on his comrades and played an ethereal dirge. When the music gradually came from the wind, Brian seemed to realize that the battle was over at this moment.

He quickly came back to his senses and looked around.

As far as the eye can see, the wailing of the wounded is everywhere, and the priests are also using a few magic spells to treat or bandage the wounds.

Thankfully, he was well prepared for this battle.

Especially after having the mushroom man in the dark woodland as a partner, he brought as much healing potion as possible, so as long as he still has a breath, he can be rescued.

This directly avoids the consequences of untimely treatment and death.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Brian knew that after this battle, he had completely gained a foothold in Mokou Town.

Anyone who tries to infect the territory must first consider whether he can defeat an army of spellcasters from the City of Shadows.

Of course, this battle will soon be woven into various versions of stories by bards, and the protagonist of the story is him.

However, in his opinion, the price paid is still a bit too heavy.

He glanced roughly, and saw that two-thirds of the more than 500 purple dragon knights had been killed or injured, including Alek, his favorite Tom paladin.

He didn't even notice how the young man who taught him the desert wind sect's swordsmanship had died.

It was just that in the melee before, he vaguely noticed that a paladin used the ability of the "sacrifice" domain before dying.

Among the battle mage troops, four second-tier spellcasters and two third-tier spellcasters were also lost.

As for the priests and temple knights of the Church of the God of Knowledge, they are also appalling, let alone the others.

After a brief rest, Brian dragged his tired body and began to set up a teleportation circle to transport everyone, the organized remains and spoils back to Mokou Town in batches.
