Influenced by many dragon-slaying biographies circulating on the market, in the impression of most humans, the dragon's lair seems to be basically undefended. Only when the dragon-slaying warriors are preparing to steal treasures or rescue the princess, those evil dragons
will wake up.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny.
The dragons' possessiveness and paranoia about their treasures are simply unimaginable to other creatures.
Humans can even lock their own houses, let alone dragons who have a more deeply rooted sense of territory.
In order to better protect their treasures, the dragons will prepare a lot of protective measures for their lairs.
The most important ones are protective barriers, alchemical horizons, and various traps. Of course, the more important ones are the various dependents patrolling around the dragon's nest.
The protective barrier was originally an independent invention of the elves, but at that time they preferred to call it a mystery lock or a magic mystery lock.
Magical Mysteries were originally a by-product of a certain Elf Great Sage's research into the Magic Web. The first generation of Magical Locks used magic power to weave an extension of the network on the astral ducts that connect the entire multiverse to the Magic Web.
.
Areas shrouded in magic locks often produce various magical effects due to the weaving techniques of the locks and the related properties of the magic web used.
The most famous among them are naturally the several major mysteries of Larethian, the main city of elves at that time, namely the secret words of nature, the earthly barrier and the never-fallen Larethian.
It is said that all elves in the main city can be blessed by the power of nature. Any spell effects related to nature can receive a +1 level gain, and have a layer of earth element protective barrier, immune to magic effects below level three, and then
This is the most abnormal never-falling effect, namely:
As long as the elf dies within the mythal lock range of the main city, and does not die from an instant-death soul spell or an undead transformation spell, then the moment the elf dies, his soul will be protected by the mythal lock, and will be directly transmitted to the magic network through the crystal dimension channel.
The tree of life is resurrected on the original body through the druid's resuscitation technique.
Even if a person dies without a complete body, he can still change his profession as a druid through his military exploits and contributions during his lifetime, and return to the human world in a symbiotic way with his animal companions.
The main city of the elves with these big mystical locks was once so impregnable that no matter how powerful the giant dragons who were the rulers of the earth back then were, they could forcefully fight against them.
Until a certain elven sage observed that the dragons would become manic due to the periodic arrival of a certain comet called king-killetar, and finally developed a vicious device that will surely go down in history.
, its name:
Crazy Dragon Mystery Lock!
In the great decisive battle between the elves and the dragons, as the Dragon Mystery Chain enveloped most of the continent, all the dragons instantly fell into irrational madness and began to kill each other bloody and unreasonably.
After this battle, the dragon clan's vitality was severely damaged, and they finally gave up their position as the overlord of the continent.
Since then, the elves have used the Magic Lock skill to the sky in several of their crown civil wars. It was originally used for passive defense in several major cities, and then it was directly deployed on the battlefield.
Use your own preparations in advance, and then pull the enemy into the unfolding mystery for a decisive battle.
The giant dragons lost all their money in a stud, and they were not fools. They huddled in the cave and began to study the secret locks of these white-faced, black-hearted, long-eared creatures. After suddenly discovering that this thing was very effective in controlling houses, this
A group of misers and tech nerds were instantly addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Some dragons even suffered from a kind of mental illness at one time, called: The Trapped Trouble.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a typical case of deep-seated obsessive-compulsive disorder. If a strange mystery is not analyzed and understood, all the main energy will be focused on it, which will lead to neglect of business and even affect one's own development.
It's a pity that the secret lock is equivalent to the computer chip integrated circuit database in Levi's previous life Blue Star. The research and development cost is high. If the computer room is to be maintained on a large scale, the huge energy consumption can easily bankrupt some third-rate countries.
.
And most of the dragons are stingy and reluctant to use something that consumes so much energy, so what should we do?
So the mystery was locked in the hands of the dragon, and the skill tree was completely crooked.
If in the hands of the elves, Mystery took the path of a large-scale military supercomputer, then in the hands of the dragon, it gradually evolved into a home PC that did not consume much energy.
In order not to waste any magic stone, these crazy stingy guys actually thought of relying only on the elemental energy radiation of themselves as giant dragons to provide energy.
Perhaps in the eyes of this group of Grandets, the energy dissipated from their bodies is also a waste that makes them feel distressed every day. If they can use it, they will naturally be happy.
Anyway, they stay at home all year round, and occasionally go out hunting to visit the house for ten days and a half. The participation energy in the lair can barely support the operation of the mystery lock.
The habits of various dragons can be seen from the mythical locks that various dragons tend to use.
For example, the golden dragon likes to use psychedelic barriers. Travelers who mistakenly enter it will often think that they have had a fantasy dream, and will not realize that they have actually entered the dragon's lair by mistake.
Li Wei's similar silver dragon likes to use winter enchantments. Silver dragons' lairs are often laid on steep and dangerous peaks. Under the winter enchantment, the biting and cold blizzard is enough to scare away most intelligent creatures.
On the other hand, the five-color dragons are much more evil. The red dragon likes to use purgatory enchantment to turn the entire volcano into a purgatory of exposed magma. Once the dragon-slaying warrior accidentally steps on the trigger node of the mystery lock,
A burst of hot lava steam will often spurt out from under your feet. The heat is enough to burn an unprotected creature into a perfectly cooked white-cut chicken.
The black dragon prefers lightless enchantments. Those who step into the enchantment often cannot see their fingers, even using a torch is useless. In this enchantment, the existence of light is prohibited, and the trapped people often have not found a way to regain the light.
Then the black dragon bit off his head.
As for what Li Wei is holding, it is not a barrier at all, but a second-level alchemical vision—the Eye of True Sight.
There is no way, Long Qiong has short ambitions. Even if the Black Dragon Kangevian has been working diligently in the Dark Area for decades and robbed all the neighbors who can bully him, he cannot afford even the cheapest protection.
Barriers, not to mention that most dragons are reluctant to spend huge wealth to buy them even if they are rich. They prefer to learn their ancestors' knowledge about myth locks through talent inheritance, and then create their own protection through independent research and development.
Enchantment.
In fact, Kangevian has not awakened the relevant knowledge at this age. Even the Eye of True Seeing was obtained by robbing other dragons. Otherwise, even if the lowest level of protective barrier is arranged, his
The lair will not be ransacked by a group of jackals.
It's a pity that even this Eye of True Seeing is cheaper than Levi.
As its name suggests, its function can be used to monitor all movements within a ten-mile radius of the entire lair.
With it, it's like installing 360-degree surveillance around the house. Levi can monitor everything without leaving home.
It can even set up an alarm function, which will remind Levi to prepare early once a being with excessively high magic power levels approaches quickly.
As soon as Levi linked this thing to his consciousness, he 'saw' Hotz, covered in blood, quickly approaching the nest led by several slimes.
"The effect is pretty good."
Levi exited the monitoring mode and moved his thoughts slightly. The scales on his body gradually turned red, and the originally well-proportioned and slender dragon body also expanded into strong muscle lines.
As soon as he transformed into the red dragon form, the entire lair erupted with a small tidal wave of fire elements centered on him and spread to all sides. The frost that had just condensed on the rock formations was instantly evaporated. For a while, the entire lair was filled with steam, like a
wonderland.
It's not that he doesn't trust Hotz, who signed a servant contract with him, but that Levi knows that even a servant contract is not omnipotent. What the devils in Baator Hell are best at is exploiting loopholes in the contract.
Maybe Hotz could withstand torture and extort confessions, but he couldn't deceive his own soul, so he had to be on guard.
After a while, Hotz followed a few bouncing slimes to the lair. When he saw Levi's huge and majestic real dragon body, he couldn't help but feel slightly lost again.
Even though it was not the first time he saw it, this powerful body still made him in awe.
Then Hotz knelt down on one knee and reported:
"Master, the first layer of the mine has been cleared. More than a hundred jackals of my tribe were slightly injured, one was seriously injured, and no one was killed. According to preliminary estimates, more than 7,600 Caverns rat corpses were harvested, and 2,300 were captured alive.
The remaining rats, including more than 1,800 males and only more than 500 females, have been initially raised in captivity according to your wishes. However, we lack tools, and these Caverns rats are thinking about escaping all the time.
"In addition, maybe our victory this time is too great. The refugees who were originally waiting and watching are now strongly demanding to join the mining of the West Mining Area. Do we accept them all? Or select some?
