Lord Highlander

   Chapter 600 589. A Red Dragon

Selina got out from under the blanket, put her arms around Surdak's shoulders from under her armpits, and rested her head on her strong chest, listening to the powerful pacing of his heart, like a mermaid lying down On the reef, listening to the waves hitting the reef on the shore.

  The blanket slid off her greasy shoulders, and she smiled with her big blue eyes blinking, her blonde curls spread out.

Although it is early winter, the tent is very warm, and the temperature of the pustule mountain has not been affected by the arrival of winter. Although the tent is covered with a dust-proof cloth to block dust, the dust inside the tent is still a bit choking. .

  Selina stretched out her white lotus-like arm, picked up the kettle on the stone table, drank a little water, touched the scales on Suldak’s arm, pressed her pointed chin against his strong chest and said:

"I have now been promoted to a dark priest. Unfortunately, the several shadow words bestowed by the goddess have no way to touch the curse. I heard that the lizard tribe on the other side of the wild swamp has a witchcraft that can make voodoo dolls. It is said that we can transfer our own curse to the puppet, maybe we can find a great witch to lift the curse. Or there are a group of druids who believe in the power of nature living on the other side of the green sea in the Qingtian Mountains in the south of the Dwarf Kingdom. I heard that they also have some special methods to lift the curse!"

  Suldak stroked her soft blond hair and asked her, "Where did you hear about this?"

  Selena said with a smile: "Earl Hoyle likes some bards to write travel and adventure notes, and he will occasionally tell Miss Hoyle."

   Speaking of Miss Hoyle, Suldak remembered the party not long ago.

  Bird tax collector took good care of Miss Hoyle, and her life seemed to be back on track. After all, the life of the Viscountess, who had a considerable inheritance, was still very good.

   "Miss Hoyle is now a Viscount and married to that Byrd tax collector. By the way, you have met Bird tax collector, right?" Suldak asked Selina.

  Selena replied: "Well, I met him in Wall Village, he probably doesn't know who I am."

  Suldak asked Selena again: "How long will you live here? Until all kobold slaves believe in the Dark Goddess?"

   Selena squinted her eyes and smiled, but refused to answer.

   "It's not good for you to leave Signa alone at home," Suldak said.

   "Okay, got it!" Selina hugged Suldak tightly and whispered.

Suldak sat up from the bed, put on a linen shirt, and said to Selina: "I'm going to the lava mine. If there is any emergency, I will go to the mine to find Gulitum. He can find me."

   "Yes!" Selena agreed.

  She retracted her body into the blanket, ready to sleep for a while,

  Suldak lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent in the sulfur camp.

  Before going to the treasure chamber, Suldak has to go to Hailansa city, because today is Aphrodite's boat schedule.

  …

  On the airport pier of Hailansa City, magical airships are moored on the platforms of the two towers.

The coolies carrying the bags on the pier carried boxes of supplies off the airship and loaded them into the carriage waiting outside the airport. Crew members in twos and threes walked off the magic airship. They would stay in hotels in the city for a few days. Today, bars, casinos and brothels are all good places for them to hang out.

Aphrodite with a black veil covering her head held Suldak's arm with one hand, and boarded the magic airship that was ready to set sail. She looked curiously at the crew on the deck, the tall mast, The canvas hanging across the mast, and the huge net at the bow.

  The crew graciously took them to a first-floor cabin with a window. According to the crew member, when they started sailing, they could see the sea of ​​clouds every day from this window. Suldak took out a silver coin, threw it to the crew member who helped carry the luggage, sent the crew member away, and sat casually on the folding chair in the small cabin.

Aphrodite sat excitedly on the lower bunk of the bunk bed, her eyes fell on Suldak, and she asked him: "The next time I call you, maybe it will be on this airship, maybe it will be in Bei Nacheng, where do you hope it will be?"

   "Of course it's Bena City." Suldak said.

  At this time, civilians had already boarded the deck one after another, and the crew began to prepare to untie the cables at the bow and stern, and the sixteen floating devices made dull roars.

  He touched the wooden boards on the cabin wall, glanced at Aphrodite again, and said, "I hope you enjoy the journey along the way!"

   Throwing a money bag to Aphrodite casually, the money bag fell on the bed, the mouth of the bag was open, and a few gold coins rolled out of it.

   "Why did you give me so many gold coins?" Aphrodite looked at Suldak in surprise.

  Suldak pointed in the direction of the cabin door, and said to Aphrodite: "Give the crew some tips once in a while, and some of your daily needs will become very simple."

  The airship finally rose slowly amidst bursts of roars, and when the high tower on the airport pier was quickly thrown down, the entire city of Hailansa slowly appeared in sight.

The succubus Aphrodite and Suldak huddled together by the window, looking out at the rolling oak trees and mountains of Hailansa Mountain City, the snowflakes were flying in the sky and falling aimlessly among the mountains. This is the first time this year. First snow.

  The heavy snow falls, which means that the long winter is officially coming.

  …

  The stone wall engraved with war reliefs is filled with waves of water rippling outward, and a huge red-scale dragon head protrudes from the stone wall.

It sniffed here and there in the cave, trying to find something to eat from the secret room. It had almost eaten up all the red crystals in this secret room, and only some red crystals and gold were left mixed together. It was really troublesome to pick out the red crystal from those glittering coins. It was a bit too big and didn't want to get into the cave.

   It's just that it found that although the monsters outside can fill their stomachs, they still need to rely on the red crystal in the stone room to make them grow.

Originally, this stone room was almost full of red crystals, but now it has eaten them up bit by bit, and the remaining ones are mixed with gold. It doesn't want to swallow the gold. On the road, only here can it smell some familiar breath, which can calm down its irritable mood.

  It squinted its eyes halfway, and there was a faint blue smoke from its nostrils.

  The stone door on the opposite side that had never been opened unexpectedly opened to the left and right sides amidst the roar.

   Immediately afterwards, the red dragon saw a young knight walking in from the outside...

  The red dragon was furious, it wanted to swallow the knight in one gulp.

  …

  Suldak went through the gate of the void, returned to the lava mine, walked through the cracks in the cave, and came to the door of the treasure chamber.

  He inserted the crystal key into the groove of the treasure gate, and the stone gate opened with a rumbling sound.

   After entering the treasure chamber, a huge red dragon head appeared before Suldak's eyes. It was lying on the pile of gold coins. Its textured scales and giant eyes that were burning with anger startled him.

  Suldak thought he had fallen into an illusion. He walked into the treasure chamber, stood in front of the head of the red dragon, and asked tentatively:

   "Are you Master Johannes?"

  The red dragon glared at Suldak, opened its huge mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and a ball of burning flames rolled around its throat.

  A terrifying dragon power made Suldak's hair stand on end. At this moment, Suldak realized that the red dragon in front of him wanted to swallow him in one gulp, so he quickly stepped back several steps.

Just as the head of the red dragon stretched towards Suldak, countless runes appeared on the dragon egg on the stone platform, and the power of the contract took effect under the magic halo, and a faint six-pointed star magic circle appeared under Suldak's feet , the red dragon only felt that there was a huge pulling force stopping it, making it impossible for him to bite down.

  It fought furiously, trying to break free from this invisible restraint, it opened its mouth wider, squinted its eyes and sprayed out a fiery dragon's breath from its throat.

  In its view, this dragon's breath is enough to completely melt the knight in front of it.

  But there was an incredible scene that made it feel incredible, the moment the scorching dragon's breath spewed out from its mouth, it was completely extinguished without anger.

At this time, Suldak was holding the dwarf chain shield in his hand. Looking at the flames rolling in the red dragon's mouth, his feet couldn't help but tremble a little, but he still insisted on standing up straight, and put the shield in front of him, ready to wait for an opportunity. And move, dodge the dragon's breath at a close distance.

  The red dragon opened its mouth wide and let out a long growl, but what spewed out of its mouth was not hot flames, but some red crystal dust between its teeth...

  Suldak only felt that he was sprayed all over his face by countless red crystal powder. His eyes were aching because of the smoke, and a hot wind was blowing in his face. He could feel the heat in the air.

   One person and one dragon looked at each other.

  Suldak was holding a shield and staring at the red dragon. He suspected that this might be the red dragon's unusual way of greeting, and he probably wanted to give him a warning, but the breath of the dragon really scared him.

  The red dragon was also a little stunned at this moment. It didn't understand why it suddenly misfired at a critical moment. It stared at the knight in front of it with wide eyes, and suddenly felt that he seemed to exude a familiar smell.

  It sniffed vigorously in front of Suldak, staring at him suspiciously.

   Suldak sniffed vigorously again, opened his mouth and let out a low growl.

Suldak only felt that the dragon's head the size of an adult rhinoceros was staring at him. When the red dragon took a deep breath towards him, a gust of wind almost pulled him away. The red dragon's nose The upper two huge nostrils are like two huge wind tunnels, which can absorb everything around them.

  He reached out and wiped off the red crystal debris on his face. There were several fine wounds on his neck and face, and traces of blood flowed out and stained the keel necklace.

  The familiar aura emanating from Suldak became even stronger, and the red dragon approached Suldak again suspiciously.

Suldak could feel the hostility of the red dragon in front of him gradually disappearing. He bravely put down the dwarf chain shield in his hand. After thinking for a while, he tried to take out a red crystal from his magic pocket. He took the whole red crystal Throw it into the mouth of the red dragon, and watch it swallow the red crystal like chewing a biscuit.

A red dragon was eating red crystals in front of him, and the sound of chewing was like thunder. Suldak found that the red dragon looked much smaller in outline, at least much smaller than the phantom he saw before, so he was just tentatively asking Said: "Are you Iser?"

  The red dragon still stared at Suldak with rounded eyes, and let out a deep growl at him.

  Suldak wondered if the red dragon in front of him understood what he said.

   "Can you understand what I said?" Suldak took out another red crystal and threw it into the mouth of the red dragon.

  Red Dragon actually ignored his question this time, swallowed the red crystal into his stomach with just a few mouthfuls of "Kaka Ka", and then looked at Suldak expectantly.

  Suldak took out all the red crystals in the magic pocket in one go, and fed them to the red dragon.

This red dragon never refused anyone who came, and ate all the red crystals in its stomach, but it turned a deaf ear to all of Suldak's questions, and didn't even bother to let out a low roar. Unable to take out the red crystal, the red dragon rolled its lips with its tongue a little eagerly, and twisted the dragon's head with a 'huh'. Behind it was a long neck covered with thick scales.

  It shook its head casually in front of Suldak, like a cheerful Erha.

  After that, without waiting for Suldak's question, the head of the red dragon withdrew from the stone wall of the war relief with a 'swish', and disappeared without a trace. Under the rippling water, the stone wall gradually returned to its original state.

   In the treasure chamber, only Suldak was left with a stunned expression.

  He walked up to the stone platform, stepped over the cast iron chair, stood in front of the stone wall of the war relief, stretched out a finger to touch the stone wall, and tapped on the cold rock between his fingers.

  Suldak discovered that this stone wall actually existed...

But just ten seconds ago, a dragon passed through the stone wall, sprayed himself with a mouthful of saliva full of crystal debris, ate all the red crystals in his bag, and then left without looking back. , It's really puzzling.

  He went around the treasure chamber again, but found no other abnormalities, and the dragon that appeared out of nowhere didn't seem to be hostile.

  Suldak took out the second magic crystal from the egg shell of the dragon egg, and began to learn the second rune language.

According to Lord Johannes in the magic crystal, the language of the dragon clan evolved based on the language of these thirty-three runes. If you want to learn the language of the dragon, it is like learning the thirty-three runes first, and have the first learning experience , the second rune is much easier to learn, but this is only relatively easy.

   This time, Suldak learned the second rune language after only six days of learning.

  During this period, the red dragon never appeared.

Suldak returned to the sulfur camp once again, and Selina was still preaching to six hundred kobold slaves in the camp, but the sulfur camp was well managed, and the scales on his arms had grown to six.

  Suldak didn't dare to delay in the sulfur camp, so he brought some red crystals and returned to the lava mine.
