Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 59 Golden Dragon
"Ah! That's right here!" The beholder came to a gorgeous giant door, the surface of which was inlaid with many red and green gemstones, and the liquid gold was used to outline the beautiful borders.

The beholder used an eye stalk to pull out the Gorol Stone, and embedded it in a circular hole in the center of the giant gate.

With a "click", the giant door slowly opened.

"My God." The scene behind the door, even if it is as rich as Imrik, can't help but sigh. In the center of the hall, a large number of gold coins are piled up randomly, like a hill. In addition, there are dots of gems dotted in it.

"At least 50 gold coins." Imrik made a rough estimate, not counting the value of those gems.

Although the beholder was greedily looking at the wealth in the treasury at this time, she still stood at the door, looking around vigilantly, as if afraid of something coming out.

"You! Go in and have a look." The beholder ordered Imrik to find the way for her.

Imrik was helpless, now was not the time to tear himself apart with her, he had to make sure that the golden dragon was still here.

So he walked in, crossed the hill of gold coins, and walked in carefully to observe the surroundings.

Despite being deep underground, the vault is illuminated by sunlight pouring from the ceiling, illuminating the dust in the air into glowing particles.Ornate stone columns support a thirty-foot-high dome.

On the dome is a picture of dwarves basking in the blessings of the dwarf gods.There are alcoves on the walls, which are also filled with precious objects.

Out of the dusty gloom came an elderly dwarf, leaning on a strange walking stick with a pair of intertwined dragons carved on it—a golden dragon and a red dragon.Despite the dwarf's weathered look, his eyes were firm and bright.

He lowered his head and muttered, "As you can see, this place is a mess, can you come in later, I'll clean it up first."

Imrik was taken aback. There were dwarves in this place?

He couldn't help using detection magic, and the dazzling magic aura of the dwarf's crutch almost blinded his eyes.

This is probably the human form transformed by the golden dragon. The mage guessed in his mind.

Imrik prepared his words in his mind and said, "Hi, are you the Lord Jinlong who used to live here?"

The dwarf raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? How did you know there is a golden dragon here?"

Imrik heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it really was the golden dragon, since that's the case... then it's easy to handle.

He frowned in embarrassment, looked back with some fear, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said:

"I hope to see Your Excellency Jin Long, I have something very important to tell him."

The dwarf glanced behind Imrik curiously, but the distance and the hills blocked his view, so he couldn't see the beholder standing outside the door.

So the dwarf said, "Say anything, and I will pass it on to him."

Imrik hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said: "There is a beholder standing outside the door. She said there is a golden dragon here, and she forced me to help him sneak up on this golden dragon, then kill him and snatch the treasure!"

He paused, then continued to grit his teeth and said, "I dare not disobey her, because she will kill me immediately, but I can't tolerate myself helping her hunt a kind golden dragon."

The dwarf nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "So you're going to tell the golden dragon to help him kill this beholder in turn, aren't you?"

Imrik nodded emphatically.

Seeing this, the dwarf laughed and said, "Don't worry, that beholder won't hurt me at all. In fact, if she didn't run so fast, I would have crushed her big eyeball last time."

Imrik said in surprise: "You? Could it be that you are Your Excellency the Golden Dragon?"

The dwarf smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I am the golden dragon. I can kill that beholder for you, but she is too cunning. I guess she sent you in to see if I am there. Right? Well, you go out and tell her that there is no golden dragon here. When she comes in, we will cooperate inside and outside to keep her here forever."

Imrik nodded happily and said, "Of course! Your Excellency the Golden Dragon, it is my honor to serve the kind dragon!"

Imrik was overjoyed, with the help of the golden dragon, the beholder basically had a dead end, so he eliminated her first, and was thinking about how to deceive the golden dragon.

So he walked quickly back to the door and said to the beholder, "Beautiful Sannassa, I walked around and didn't see a single creature. Has the golden dragon left?"

The beholder was overjoyed when she heard that, although she was ready to fight the giant dragon, it was good news that the other party was not there. You must know that the golden dragon had already grown up!

She opened her bloody mouth wide, and her shrill voice echoed in the cave: "Oh hehehe! Let's go! Move all these gold coins back to my lair!"

Knowing the news that the golden dragon was not there, the beholder floated in without any scruples. Her barren brain never considered the slightest possibility that Imric could lie to her.

Imrik followed behind. Seeing that the beholder was spinning happily in front of the gold coin, he thought: Good opportunity.

He raised one hand to the beholder, and murmured an incantation: "Lightning beam!"

A thick electric current erupted from the hand and shot at the beholder. The beholder felt the fluctuation of the element and was startled suddenly. Looking back, a thick electric current just hit her big eye.

"Ah!" The beholder screamed, and was pushed to the gold coin mountain by the powerful kinetic energy of the lightning beam, but the powerful spell resistance made this three-ring spell only leave a black and scorched surface on the beholder's eyes.

The beholder struggled to levitate and screamed angrily: "Damn mage! How dare you betray me! I'm going to skin you!"

She raised an eye stalk, and a ray of gray fingers of death focused on Imrik.

Imrik felt a strong sense of crisis in an instant. He knew that if he was hit by this ray, he would never be immune to the instant death effect due to the huge level gap between him and the beholder.

So his figure flashed, a silver mist wrapped him and teleported to 30 feet away, perfectly staggering the death ray.

Seeing that one blow would fail, the beholder planned to fire barrages of rays from ten of them in turn.

Suddenly, a huge roar sounded from the side: "Sannasa! Shameless evil person, dare to threaten others to plot against me!"

The dwarf jumped out of the shadows, and his figure continued to expand and grow in the air, eventually turning into a huge golden dragon.

The "adult dragon" looked at the huge size of the golden dragon, and Imrik silently calculated in his mind. Even if an adult golden dragon has no occupation, it can naturally cast spells like a seventh-level warlock, plus it has a powerful body and breath.
He couldn't help feeling miserable for Shannasa, and sure enough, when he heard the roar of the golden dragon, Shannasa turned her head in fright, and the giant claws of the golden dragon covered the top of her head.

The mighty power of the dragon claw set off a gust of wind, and with this claw, the beholder would probably be smashed to pieces.
