Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 97 Vaal Temple
Jumping off Minasnir, Imrik reached a ledge of the crater directly from a high altitude, and then gestured to the dragon to let it go alone.

Seeing Imrik jumping down, the Shining Star Dragon flapped its wings, gathered its wings, and rushed towards the boiling magma. After the dragon rushed into the fluid magma at high speed, the huge viscous wave was The entry point splashes like a boulder dropped into the water.

This made Prince Long think of Filipino divers, but he didn't expect this old guy to have this talent.

Resisting the thought of complaining, he looked at Vaal Temple.

At the center of the huge volcano, there is a boulder rising from the magma. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is a floating island.

On the floating island, the Temple of Vaal was built in the form of a tower, using solid black rock, standing above the tumbling magma in the crater, like a tower built in a lava hell.

The only way to enter this high tower is the 600-meter-long, narrow suspension bridge made of fine steel in front of Imrik, with a width of only two meters, which can accommodate two people walking side by side. The first trial of the Vaal priests.

Priests of Vaal will let the testers walk into the Vaal Temple alone from outside when the volcano is active. The suffocating sulfur breath splashes on the lava on the suspension bridge as it rolls. Will be eliminated, the blacksmith church that pursues perfection does not allow such people to join, once distracted during forging, there will only be a piece of scrap iron.

When the prince wanted to step in, more than a dozen people entered from the hole behind the protruding rock wall, wearing fiery red full-body armor with the logo of Val on the armor, holding a halberd, carrying a big bow, and wearing some With a divine breath, he lowered his head and signaled to Imrik, "Prince."

He nodded to them. These people are the church guards of the Vaal church, known as the Vaal fire bearers. What is really deadly to them is not the halberd in their hands, but the big bow.

Under Vaal's blessing, the arrows shot by these people will produce the effect of flame explosion, and the average person is a small ballista. Although he is a bit jealous of the abilities of these people, the Dragon Prince does not want too many religious factors to appear in his court , so the duty of these people is still to guard the Vaal Temple.

"Take care of this place."

"Yes."

After speaking, Imrik began to enter this narrow steel suspension bridge, which he had walked many times.

Before, I needed to use something to cover my mouth and nose, and pay attention to the lava that might splash up under my feet, but now I don’t care about it. The pungent sulfur smell was even a bit addictive. The place, the distance of 600 meters was successfully reached in a few minutes.

Seeing the [-]-meter-high black tower in front of him, Imrik sighed a little. The reason for the short life of Vaal priests is not only the need to use vitality to seal runes, but also the environment here has a great influence, even with Vaal's asylum. , but it is difficult for individuals to persist in such a harsh environment all year round.

However, the priests of Vaal have a very high status in Caledor, and even the Dragon Prince has to show respect in front of them. This is a little compensation for their great contributions.

This trip is to see the specific situation, for example, to coordinate the two high priests who are always fighting.

Before entering the door, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

"Igil, you bastard, hurry up and light the fire for me."

"Crimond, don't think that the prince asked me to come here to help you. Speak well to me."

"You know how to play with fire, why don't you come and help us! Steal our superb skills?"

Igil, the real name of High Priest Ardaeus, and Clemente is High Priest Vaal. In fact, the two had a good relationship in the early years. High Priest Vaal served as an accompanying priest in his early years, providing shields for soldiers.

The High Priest Ardaeus was originally the Dragon Prince, and the two had a long experience of fighting together on the battlefield.

However, since Clmond joined the Church of Ardaeus, this relationship has become a little unclear. When Imric came here before, he often saw them fighting with swords and guns.

The attendant at the entrance of the tower saw the prince coming in, as if he had met a savior, and said, "Prince, please go and persuade the two high priests."

"Lead the way." Covering his forehead, his inherent impression of Caledon has been shattered since he crossed over.

It was alright at the beginning, all of them were reliable and aloof, but after getting to know each other well, I realized that the degree to which these guys let themselves go was unmatched. These two high priests had quarreled since they first met, and I couldn't use the prince's authority. Come and suppress it, you can only look at it every now and then, it still has some effect.

But in the one month that I was in Dragonrest Temple, I might have fought more than a dozen games. There are only two people in Caledor who are qualified to persuade a fight, myself and Randy.

When they came to the place where the two were arguing, they found that Igil had already picked up the shield and warhammer, and Clmond had also taken the battleaxe from the attendant. It seemed that there was another fight after a disagreement.

"The two are arguing again for some reason." While speaking, Imrik sighed a little. The combined age of these two people is over a thousand years old, so they look like little kids.

Seeing the Dragon Prince coming in, the two people who originally wanted to do something said a few harsh words to each other before putting down their weapons. The Dragon Court respects the two temples, but it doesn't mean that the two temples can ignore the giants. Dragon court.

"He will not set fire." This was said by the High Priest of Vaal.

"He does not know how to use fire," said the High Priest Ardaeus.

The two high priests first accused each other, and while they were scolding each other, Igil sniffed his nose suddenly, as if he had found something, he turned his head to look at Imrik, or perhaps his perception, with an extremely uncertain tone said.

"You solved that problem?"

The high priest of Vulcan, who was still arguing with Igil at first, also turned his head to look at Imrik when he heard this. Although he didn't know about the dragon transformation, as the spokesperson of the gods, he could clearly perceive the dragon. The prince was very different from before, as if a fierce flame was burning in his body.

"Let's talk in another place." Imrik signaled the two of them to find a good place first. This time they came to Vaal Temple to learn about the purification ceremony.

My soul seems to be protected by the cowhide book. Although the phenomenon of dragon transformation has appeared, the disadvantages have not appeared. Instead, I can understand the ancient covenant with the cognitive method of a giant dragon, but there are still some things that I don’t understand. Let’s ask most.

The two nodded in agreement, and they didn't want to quarrel anymore. The quarrel between the two is a matter for the church. In fact, it's a good personal relationship. Otherwise, if there are conflicts at this frequency, the temple will definitely be demolished by them.
