A large number of flames burst out from the top of the pustule in the darkness, and hot magma continued to flow down the entire mountain, forming dozens of lava rivers of different sizes.
The lengths of these lava rivers vary. Some small rivers will disappear only halfway up the mountain. Only a few larger lava rivers reach the foot of the mountain. The surface of some lava rivers is covered with a thick stone crust.
, forming an underground river flowing underground.
At the foot of the mountain, volcanic ash falls like snowflakes all year round. In many places at the foot of the mountain, the accumulated volcanic ash looks like giant hills.
People living here not only need to wear masks that can filter the air, but also need to cover their heads with thin gauze to prevent the flying volcanic ash from flying into their eyes. The sulfur mine camp is stationed here with Luke.
There are a total of five villagers in Wall. In addition to counting the collected sulfur mines, they cook breakfast and dinner for 600 kobold slaves every day.
Usually, these villagers rarely go to the Lava River mine to work as supervisors. They usually stay in the work shed in the sulfur camp. There is a gauze in the work shed to isolate the volcanic ash. When they stay in the work shed, they don't need to bring those people with them.
Masks that are not easy to breathe. Of course, the biggest motivation for them to stay in the sulfur mine is the generous monthly remuneration paid by Surdak.
Luke's departure made these five villagers feel a little disappointed. Luke was originally doing most of the inspection work in the Sulfur Camp, but now it had to be shared among the five of them.
The kobold slaves would walk back in a long line along the volcanic rocks of the lava river every day after the sky completely darkened.
These kobolds have unique nose structures. Their noses are covered with rich gray hairs, which can effectively block the volcanic ash flying in the sky. Therefore, the environment here does not have much impact on them. Once too much volcanic ash falls on their faces, they will
Swirl your head vigorously to get rid of all the volcanic ash.
Kobold slaves like to take a sand bath by completely stepping into the dry volcanic ash after dinner. The volcanic ash here contains strong alkaline substances, which can effectively kill fleas and lice hidden in their hair.
Thanks to their hair, these kobold slaves are not afraid of overcold or overheated environments, and they live quite well in the sulfur mines.
At night, a group of kobold slaves sat together. Some young and strong male kobolds were biting and wrestling in a circle paved with volcanic ash. This is a unique fighting method of the kobold clan. Not only does it have no rules, but it also allows the use of teeth.
and claws.
After seeing off Luke, Andrew and Samira, the ogre Gulitum almost didn't stop at the sulfur mine camp and settled directly into the lava mine cave with a pile of wheat cakes and a water bladder on his back.
Surdak still needs to explain everything here at the Sulfur Camp before he can escape and enter the secret room of the Red Dragon Treasure to learn dragon language.
The effect of the dragon's blood spell was very obvious. In just one day, a third scale had grown on Surdak's arm. Each scale had a very unique pattern. Surdak touched the protective
Armor, these scales reduce the body's touch, but enhance the body's own defense.
There was a candle lit in the tent, Cyrus.\nHickok's magic notebook was standing on a stone slab. Celia Cooper was holding the handle of the black cage with both hands and was about to stick her head out without saying a word.
Staring at the scales on Surdak's arms.
"This is the dragon's curse!" Celia Cooper said with certainty.
"I have read an introduction to this curse in a very old magic book. It is said that during the heyday of the dragon clan, the fertility of the dragons was still a very serious problem. The birth of each baby dragon was a serious problem for the dragon clan.
One big thing is that the dragons can't stay in the lair all day to take care of the baby dragons, so they will grab some humans, elves, orcs and dwarves from all corners of the world and let them become dragon servants to take care of these newly born baby dragons.
, the dragons were worried that these servants would harm the young dragons, so they placed a very special curse on these servants."
Celia Cooper recalled:
"This is the origin of the dragon's curse. This curse is actually a process of merging the dragon's blood with your own blood, so it is also called a blood curse by some dragons."
"It's very simple to say that the dragon's blood is integrated into your body. After your body is eroded by the dragon's blood, it will gradually transform into a dragon... Of course, this kind of evolution to the dragon will make your physique improve in the short term.
Significant improvement, and the body has the characteristics of a dragon."
"But this does not mean that you will become a giant dragon. First of all, due to your own carrying capacity, you cannot bear a large amount of dragon blood fusion. In addition, the blood in your body will reject dragon blood. There is not enough dragon blood to enhance fusion.
He will become a servant of the dragon who has lost his mind."
"I guess you have never seen the appearance of dragon servants. Those dragon servants look more like the evolved bodies of lizard warriors. Their combat power is also super strong, but their minds have completely degraded. They live completely by instinct and the orders of the dragon clan."
On the blank page of the magic notebook, lines of magic weaving appeared. A fat dragon with four legs and two hands appeared on the page. The dragon was covered with countless scales and looked like a dragon.
monster.
Surdak's vision went dark. At this moment, his heart was filled with resentment towards the female dragon. If he became like this, he would really rather jump into the magma pool of Pussy Mountain.
"Is there any way to get rid of this blood curse?" Suldak asked Celia Cooper.
Celia Cooper shook her head and said:
"The dragons gradually withdrew from the Roland continent a thousand years ago. The high-level priests in the temple were good at lifting curses, but they all disappeared. Maybe you can see records of this curse in some ancient books.
, but the solution is definitely not easy to find.”
"It is said that the dragons left Roland Continent and traveled through countless planes to return to the Dragon Kingdom. This is also related to this!"
Suldak asked Celia Cooper: "Are you saying that all the tribes in Roland Continent have spoken out against this blood curse, so the dragons left Roland Continent and lived in other planes."
"That should be it!" Celia Cooper replied: "Okay, I'm a little tired. Let's go and sleep for a while. The stench of dragons is everywhere here."
Surdak's face became a little ugly. In just two days, the dragon scales on his arms had turned into three, and a new dragon scale was growing out little by little. He pulled down the linen sleeves and covered it with
He tied his forearm and put on the black iron wristband again.
Then he put away the magic notes with a gloomy look.
…
Surdak took out the dragon bone necklace from his magic pocket.
The entire dragon bone necklace looked very delicate, with countless complicated runes engraved on it. He moved the necklace around his neck and found that the necklace was well designed and had layers to prevent assassins from cutting their throats, even if it was worn around the neck.
It will not affect the free twisting of the neck.
This dragon bone necklace is made from a complete red dragon throat bone. Surdak doesn't know how it is made, but with his keen perception of magic, he can clearly sense the dragon bone.
The necklace should be a piece of spiritual bone containing magic patterns.
When he was learning sacrificial rituals from the indigenous tribes of Handanar County in the Warsaw plane, the great wizard Inoyatila once told Suldak that magic patterns could be made from either magic-patterned spirit bones or magic-patterned leather.
The number of magic pattern colonization equipment a warrior can possess depends entirely on the warrior's own carrying capacity.
Countless runes appeared on the dragon bone necklace in his hand.
Surdak felt that if he only used it as a necklace, he might be able to learn dragon language, but if he turned it into a magic pattern breeding outfit, he might be able to master the meaning contained in this dragon bone.
of magical power.
Looking at the only legacy left by Lord Johannes, Suldak felt as if he had some unknown connection with this dragon bone.
Surdak sat in the tent meditating. He wanted to know if he could suppress this blood curse after his strength increased.
Soon entering a meditative state, Surdak once again felt that the sacred aura condensed by the stars in his upper body became extremely majestic. Those sacred auras were like an endless ocean, suddenly attracted by some kind of power, forming monstrous lines.
Huge waves swept through every corner of the sea of spiritual consciousness, and the huge impact blasted open a dark door, allowing his perception of the outside world and control of power to reach a whole new level.
When dawn arrived, Suldak opened his eyes, opened the tent curtain, and walked out of the tent.
Facing the light of the morning sun, the colors of the world in front of me become more vivid. Even the volcanic ash flying around me can be felt without turning my head to look around. It even falls on my shoulders, like a broom-shaped volcanic ash.
The collapse and shattering were so clear in Suldak's eyes, just like the moment a mountain collapsed.
Surdak knew that he had advanced again in the tent of the sulfur mine.
Speaking of which, it has only been more than a month since the last level promotion, and I have been promoted again to level 18.
As long as you advance to one more level, you will become a peak first-level knight and touch the ceiling of an intermediate first-level knight.
Although he has understood the aura of power, he still has no understanding of the holy seals mastered by high-level knights. I heard from the teachers in the knight academy that if you want to break through from the knight's path and become a second-level powerhouse, you must understand the knight's holy seals.
Rolling up his sleeves, he found that the fourth dragon scale had completely grown out of his arm. Surdak closed his eyes, raised his head and exhaled a long breath. He tried his best to adjust the emotions that were about to collapse. It was obvious that his strength had improved.
Unable to suppress the blood curse on his body, Surdak remembered that Lord Johannes said that the method of contacting the blood curse was hidden in those magic crystals.
Standing on the volcanic rocks outside the tent, he immediately felt an urgency to enter the treasure chamber. He wanted to see if learning the dragon language in the magic crystal would work.
In addition to helping you understand some dragon language magic, you may also be able to find a way to break the blood curse.
…
Aphrodite was lying on the bed sideways in her silk pajamas, looking sleepily at Surdak standing by the window, with a faint smile on her lips.
The long silk skirt made her plump body appear concave and convex, especially the neckline that squeezed out a large area of white skin. Her charming lavender eyes stared at Suldak, making this morning very charming, with the sun shining through the gauze.
The curtains shine into the hotel room, making the room warm and cozy.
"Why did you summon me at this time?" Surdak was in a bad mood at this time, but when he saw the succubus in front of him, he felt slightly better.
Aphrodite sat up from the bed, gathered up her loose long hair with both hands, and her chest was clearly printed on her silk pajamas. She asked with a smile: "I want to ask you, when can I leave here. I already have this small city."
After shopping around, I want to see somewhere else!”
Her eyes turned around Suldak, and the corners of her mouth raised.
"Where do you want to go?" Suldak stood by the window and looked at the street outside.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, I just don't want to go back to Wall Village so soon!" Aphrodite said to Surdak.
She stood up, walked to the coffee table, and poured a cup of milk tea from the silver teapot.
"How about going to Bena City?" Surdak asked.
"Bena City? Okay!" Aphrodite paused and said immediately.
Suldak nodded and said: "I will go to the airport terminal later and buy an airship ticket to Bena City. It is not every day that there is an airship to Bena City. If you are not lucky, maybe you can fly to Bena City."
Waiting in Helensa City for a week."
"It doesn't matter, it's actually pretty good here." Aphrodite walked up to Surdak, stared into his eyes and said, "I just think your mood has been fluctuating a lot these past two days, and you must have encountered some kind of problem.
, at this time you should come out of the fog and calm down before thinking about those troublesome things!"
"It's nothing, I just signed another magic contract. It may be a bit troublesome, but I can handle it!" Surdak said to Aphrodite.
"We have an equal and symbiotic contract, and we must bear everything together!" Aphrodite stretched out her hands and hugged Surdak tightly and said.
Not understanding why Aphrodite became so emotional, Surdak gently patted her back, and then whispered: "I know, it's just a small situation, I will solve it."
Walking downstairs, Suldak said hello to Mrs. Cohen with a smile.
Facing the puzzled look on Mrs. Cohen's face, the proprietress, she walked out of the Garden Plaza Hotel, stopped a magic caravan on the street, and rushed straight to the airport terminal in Helensa City.
…
Surdak walked through the void and returned to the sulfur mine. It was almost noon.
He called the five villagers who stayed at the sulfur mine into the tent and explained to them the rotation tasks at the mine. He asked them to take turns to supervise the Lava River Mine every day and record the amount of sulfur ore mined every day.
Kobold slaves must have two meals a day, including vegetables and meat.
Water spinach should be added to the multigrain porridge for breakfast, and broth should also be included when eating multigrain pancakes for dinner.
After giving these instructions, Surdak entered the lava mine again.
