The Remnant City - An Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 17 Lost
By the time Gracia woke Noel up, Anzebrai had already come back and was lying in the corner of the room, fast asleep.
Anzebre's actions were probably very light. He didn't say hello to Gracia and didn't wake up Noel who was in a light sleep.
Noel got up and returned to the place where he had been sitting cross-legged to continue his vigil. The return of Anzebre made Noel feel relieved, and he looked forward to some new discoveries in the future.
Early the next morning, after the prayers, there was still a cold meal.
"No gold or silver treasure has been found in the city. It should be in the evil dragon's treasure trove." Anzebulei finished eating the dry biscuits and drank half a bag of water and provided a clue: "Except for the palace, I have searched everything."
"Long, if you just like these things, why would you stay in the city? So let's go straight to the palace today?" Noel asked.
"Go directly to the palace. I will deal with the unclean creatures on the road as quickly as possible." Tang Na took the lead and prepared to set off.
Elle wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Gresha made several with a piece of rope. She handed one of the glowing ore lanterns to Elle, took one herself, and then asked with her eyes if anyone else wanted to take it.
But no, Noel also shook his head.
The dragon-slaying team sets out again.
This time, the five people gave up their steady exploration and adopted a forward formation with Gresha protecting Elle on the left, Donner on the right, and Anzebray and Noel on the left and back, ready to support at any time. Then they used the
You can run up and down the stairs at a speed without falling down.
As planned, Tang Na dispersed most of the unclean creatures, and Aier also dispersed a few that were too disturbing.
When we reached the upward stairs, our speed became even faster, and it took us more than a quarter of an hour to reach the entrance of the palace.
This palace is quite majestic when viewed up close.
Although it was not believed that the evil dragon would be in the palace, just in case, Anzebrai still looked for other entrance doors.
There were no unclean creatures gathering outside the palace. It took a while, but before being defended by the skeletons attracted by several people at the bottom of the stairs and wasting the number of magic spells, Anzebrai found a hidden mechanism on the side and opened the palace door.
The things inside the door have long since decayed, and only stones remain in the palace that should have been magnificent.
"Close the door." Donner instructed while Anzebrai was looking for clues.
Panting, Elle walked to a pillar away from the door and began to rest, while Gracia put down her weapon and Noel began to close the door.
At this time, Anzebrai carefully approached the broken throne at the end of the palace, but did not find any traps. He needed some time, so Donner also joined the search - mainly knocking on the pillars and walls that had lost their decorations.
Noel also went to help after that.
There should have been a considerable number of decorations in the palace hall before. We can only think that the evil dragon took them away in some way.
Aier regained her strength, Gracia was on alert, and Donner, Noel, and Anzebrai started searching the front, middle, and back sections of the palace hall.
But there's no point in banging and pounding. You haven't found any mechanism or any remaining items.
Anzebre thought for a while and called Gracia over. "Try opening the throne. If there is a secret passage, it can only be under the throne."
Noel stood quietly aside to guard against emergencies and to lend a helping hand in case of an emergency.
Gresha nodded, put down the giant hammer, and lifted it hard. As a result, he pulled out the base of the broken stone throne. This scene was quite embarrassing.
Just as Anzebrai thought, there is a vertical ladder under the throne. Speaking of which, even Anzebrei cannot open the throne base. Could it be that the previous king was stronger than him?
Noel coughed lightly. "There really is a secret passage."
"I'm the first one." Donner ran over. He was really a very responsible lord. He didn't have any weapons at hand, so he just went down.
"Same as the same?" Anzebrai looked at the others.
"Sigh, we still don't know what's going on below. At least let the professionals do it first..." Noel frowned and complained while speeding up to keep up. "Let's go faster according to the old formation."
Soon the vertical ladder reached the bottom. Below was the end of a natural cave. Tangner had already set off along the road to the outside of the cave.
The cave becomes brighter and brighter as we walk, and there is no need to carry an ore lantern.
Soon the dragon-slaying team arrived at a huge cavity that was no less impressive than the previous ancient ruins. Several rays of sunlight fell from the top of the cavity, and in the center was a small lake with many plants growing there.
Around the lake, there is a very wide and high cave entrance.
Donner had already climbed down, and Anzebre, who arrived later, covered his eyes and looked up.
El'er trembled looking at this certain height, fearing that Anzebrai would have to carry it down again.
Soon the group followed Tang Na, bypassing the small lake and arriving at the entrance of the cave. Astonishing heat came from the cave, and Tang Na's face looked very ugly.
"It's very close, be prepared for everything." Tang Na took out three bottles of potion and drank it, one red, one blue, and one green. Especially the green bottle, it felt very bad.
Anzebre checked the quiver and applied some special alchemical oil to the hunting knife.
Grasha activated the illusory barrier shield in advance.
Noel took off the magic weapon on his back, secretly running his magic power to prepare for use but not releasing it. He took special steps under his feet and turned on the equipment effect to enter the invisible state.
After Aier released four quite powerful magical spells, she also used a prophecy spell. "He's not awake yet. The distance is about a thousand feet, so rush over in one go." Aier clenched her little fists.
With the blessing of four levels of range spell effects, everyone is ready.
Noel was the first to rush into the depths of the cave, and the place in front was more spacious.
A huge red dragon was sleeping on a pile of gold coins. Next to the pile of gold coins were silver coins, copper coins, gems, crowns, swords, helmets, etc. The dragon still did not wake up.
Anzebre ran to Noel's position, put down Elle and took out his bow and arrow.
Tang Na ran to the pile of gold coins in one breath, leaned over and pulled out a gorgeous sword made of fine gold and decorated with many gems.
The dwarf held his breath and advanced slowly, giving Donner enough time. Seeing that he had the weapon, he struck preemptively and struck the evil dragon's neck with a thunderous ax blade. Before the evil dragon could wake up and react, Noel's backhand struck again.
A blazing hammer hit the faucet to greet him.
This level of attack certainly made the red dragon, who was about to wake up, become furious. Although the two wounds were huge and the dragon's blood spattered slightly on Noel's skin, causing a lot of damage to her, the dwarf could only react.
Bared teeth.
The battle has begun, but Gracia still has to run for a while.
Aier raised his tin staff in a defensive posture towards the red dragon.
"Awaken, mortals, and bear the wrath of Uhelian Etotazi!" The dragon's mouth opened and spit out the common language first, and then a cone-shaped hot breath ninety feet wide.
Noel was bathed in dragon flames, and with the resistance of the black dragon scale armor and the blocking of a layer of magic power, coupled with the incomparable tenacity of the dwarves, he finally withstood it. If it had been an ordinary high-level professional, he would have turned into charcoal.
"How is that possible?!" The red dragon was very shocked, and then slapped Noel with a fierce claw.
Noel raised his hand and hit him with a hammer. His feet cracked on the ground, but he never took a step back. "Hahaha, Helenetta, are you tickling your dwarf grandpa!"
"Mortal, you have to pay the price for your arrogance!" As the red dragon roared, Anzebrai shot two arrows at the dragon's eye, but both were blocked by his eyelids.
Taking advantage of Noel's attention, Tang Na jumped over and stabbed the dragon hard in the abdomen. Although it broke the dragon's scales, it didn't cause much damage.
Noel closed his hands and turned the tip of the spear to point directly at the dragon's eyes before jumping up. "Taste my stab!"
The red dragon had already woken up and dodged Noel's first blow, but Noel pulled back and struck back with the second strike using the axe blade, which still caused a lot of damage.
Gresha, who arrived at the center of the battlefield, used her strongest attack skills as a heavily armored warrior. Her whole body was ignited with blood-red magic and she rushed over like a golem.
The giant hammer smashed dozens of dragon scales, which was much better than Noel's initial result. Strike-type heavy weapons have always been effective against large monsters.
"Good job!" Noel yelled in praise as he landed on the ground.
Aier tried to use magic to interfere with the red dragon's actions, but the white light just flashed and disappeared. It should have failed.
The red dragon casts an extremely powerful dragon language spell in the memory inheritance in pure dragon language that is difficult for humans to understand and use the human mouth.
Flames spurted out from the ground with the red dragon's right front paw as the center. The raging wave of flames engulfed Noel, seeming to melt Noel's entire body on the spot.
Although his whole body was filled with a fierce burning sensation, even in such flames, Noel could still feel that something in his body was still extremely solid and unshakable, and was not moved by the flames at all, just like an immortal diamond.
.
At this moment, Noel better understood the essence contained deep in his bloodline, the extreme tenacity of a dwarf.
He remembered some memory fragments before the great amnesia. Those were part of his adventures in the dungeon with his dwarf companions. However, from the beginning to meeting Alexander and the others, he met hundreds of adventurers and servants.
Among the soldiers, only two other than Noel are still alive.
Noel, who has reached this point through countless dangerous battles, is very strong, but he is not much stronger than Donner and Gresha.
The only thing that can play a major role in the dragon-slaying battle is the growth in just two years and the support of the artifact.
Not only that, the people around Alexander, like Noel, have made great progress in a short period of time.
Why is this? Noel didn't have time to think about it during the battle, but the seeds of doubt have indeed been born, which will one day trouble the dwarf warrior Noel who was already stronger but still unable to catch up.
This flame didn't kill anyone, it just melted ordinary gold coins and equipment that wasn't strong enough.
Noel and Gracia were severely burned and could barely hold on.
Thanks to the existence of divine magic that saved their lives, Donner, Anzebrae and Elle escaped from the brink of death, but even so they almost lost their combat effectiveness.
