"How about it, adventurer, this gem has the powerful power of the fire element. If you get it, you will have unparalleled rights, fame throughout the continent, and wealth that is unparalleled in the country. The price is just to take me to escape."
This is a ghost place, and I can tell you the method first." The man in black robe said in a persuasive way.
So, are all the NPCs in the game Forgotten Realm a group of drama queens? Looking at the Dracolich who was still performing selflessly there, familiar pictures flashed through Sherlock's mind.
A person's appearance can change, but the accent, tone and behavior are difficult to change.
Strictly speaking, this was his third meeting with this dracolich.
The first time was during the space chaos mission, and the final battle in the triple space;
The second time was a conversation overheard in the Ogre Cave;
The third time is now. Sherlock also recognized the identity of the other party in such a close face-to-face contact. However, he is now in the form of a fire monkey. As long as he does not use detection spells, the other party will definitely not be able to recognize him.
This dracolich should be named Pavaroa. It has been less than three months since we last met in the Ogre Cave. Now he has been imprisoned for more than seven years and he just wants to leave. I can only believe it.
There is a ghost.
What is certain now is that the other party's target seems to be this ruby, but for some reason, he is unable to collect it himself, so this is the next development.
Since the other party was pretending to be stupid, he would cooperate and see if he could extract any valuable information.
"Excuse me, what is the use of this ruby and how can I collect it?"
"I don't know the specific use, but it's not difficult to collect it." Of course, Pavaroa would not explain the function of this ruby, but couldn't wait to tell the method.
"As you can see, this gem contains a large amount of fire elements. Once an outsider approaches, it will cause an energy riot. The extremely high-temperature flames will instantly burn out all surrounding materials."
"If you want to collect it, you must first deal with the rioting energy."
"After so many years of research, I have mastered the method of channeling that energy. It's just that I have to concentrate all my attention during the spell, and you just need to take the opportunity to put away this ruby."
The Dracolich's plan is very simple. It can be summed up in one sentence. You don't have to think about anything, just reach out and take it.
It sounds like I am completely considering you, but some key information is not disclosed at all.
Sherlock knew that if he really did as the other party said, he would be able to get the ruby and whether his life could be saved or not would have to be decided.
However, if a lie is to be believed, it must be mixed with a certain proportion of truth. If you want a person to risk his life to get chestnuts from the fire, he must first make the other party believe that the fire is safe.
He thought for a moment, roughly sorted out his thoughts, and agreed to the other party's plan. There was no better way now, so he could only take it one step at a time.
Pavaroa's chanting sounded slowly, but it was not the common language used in the previous communication, but dragon language.
"The sun is covered with the moon, and the stars are trailed behind; the flame is the body, and the devil is the heart;..."
After hearing the first two sentences, Sherlock knew why the other party used dragon language. Maybe he was afraid that he would hear the content of the chant, or maybe it needed to be sung in dragon language.
However, the opponent should not have thought that he, a druid, not only had level 6 dragon language, but also actually heard similar content.
He had seen a book titled "The Arrival of Ashadron" in the library of the Steadfast Adventurers Guild, and the long poem began with these two sentences.
As for the information about Ashadron, he didn't only know this novel, but also the Ashadron's notebook he obtained a long time ago, which recorded the crazy experiments of this powerful red dragon.
When he first read the notebook, he couldn't understand the content recorded in it, but after reading it carefully again on the equipment, he roughly understood the contents of the experiment.
I have to say, it definitely matches the word crazy in the prop introduction.
Back then, Asadron received due retribution for his atrocities. He was severely injured by a group of adventurers. On the verge of death, he finally developed a way to extend his life by relying on his knowledge of ancient rituals.
He replaced his own heart with a magically bound demon - a Balor Balrog named Emmet.
Having controlled the red dragon and demon bloodlines, he indeed extended his life and gained unlimited power.
But the blow Asadron received was so severe that the damage to his heart could never be recovered. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon his body and hide in the soul river of the Astral Infant Spirit Bastion.
And his three most precious relics - dragon crystal, dragon blood, and the inactivated dragon heart were also snatched away by various parties.
According to rumors, the Dragon Heart is in the hands of the Dragon Worship Cult. Now seeing Pavaroa here, Sherlock has roughly confirmed this rumor. The other party is obviously collecting Asadron's relics with premeditation.
And the ruby floating in the flames in front of me is probably Asadron's dragon crystal.
Things like dragon crystal also have different qualities depending on the age of their owner.
The young dragon that looks like a chicken wing had its skull cut open and the dragon crystal was cut out. It was probably only as big as a fingernail, and there wasn't much magic energy in it.
But with this crystal in front of you, which is about the size of a fist, you can see how powerful Asadron was back then by comparison.
A real dragon crystal, this time it is not a Xibei product such as a bone dragon or a dracolich. If he can get it, let alone other things, the energy to fill the flame crystal in his hand will definitely be enough.
Of course, he would not do such a wasteful thing.
The only competitor now is Pavaroa. He killed the opponent once in the triple gate space before purely with the help of the power of the space seal. The real strength of this blue dragon lich may not be as good as Yag who is slaughtering outside.
Lou Rosa, but torturing him is just a matter of moving your fingers.
It is not easy to snatch food from the dragon's mouth!
"The barbarians hate him, and thousands of dreams become empty; he caress him, and calls him, and his good things have no beginning; he buries him, and weeps, and he feels the same sorrow for his son..."
The chanting of unknown meaning continued, and Sherlock's heartbeat gradually increased. When the last incantation was finished, he saw the flames in the center of the stone chamber gradually fading, and the red gem seemed to have restrained itself.
own energy.
He knew it was his turn to play, so he suppressed the nervousness in his heart and rushed into the flames with a quick step.
