After sharing dinner with his companions, Jose cleaned up the footprints left by his two dragons and other traces, then found a stone to block the entrance of the cave, and lay down on the ground in front of the cave exit to remove the spoils from his back.
There was a rush when distributing the loot, so now that I have time, I have to count it carefully.
Dragon Claw picked up the most conspicuous staff among all the trophies. Conspicuous here does not refer to its length or other external appearances, but refers to the concentration of magical energy.
Dragons are magical creatures, and they can feel the magical energy emanating from objects. The magic power emanating from this staff is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.
He stroked the delicate body of the staff, and compared it with the knowledge of appraising treasures in the inheritance of the dragon: "Well, the main body is made of fire-grained wood, and the patterns are engraved with micro-carving techniques, and then poured into the patterns to reduce the transmission of magic power. Loss, this is the way of elves."
Follow the smooth and delicate body to the ruby at the top of the staff. This ruby is the size of a goose egg. Not counting the engraved magic circle and other crafts inside, the material alone is already valuable.
In the darkness, the red dragon's eyes suddenly opened, with surprise in his pupils. He found that the magic circle inside the staff was not one or two, but five, two big and three small, and the three small ones formed an equilateral triangle as the foundation. , two large ones overlapping on top.
The three relatively simple magic circles are all middle-level magic—Fireball, and the cooling time is one day; the two more cumbersome magic circles are high-level magic, namely Explosion Flame and Meteor Fire Rain, and the cooling time is three days .
"Good stuff! This staff is definitely qualified for the auction!"
"Hey," he found a line of petty words on the connection between the staff and the gemstone, which read in Elvish language: I present this staff to my best friend Fankel Lulens-Arenas.
José doesn't know who Fankel Lulens is, but the name Arenas is well-known. He is a famous half-elf alchemy master in Tidanor for nearly 300 years. There are records of his deeds.
Of course, it is not a good thing for a work to be missed by the five-color dragon.
"I don't know where the mage got this staff,..., don't care, what is its name now."
"Let's give it a name. Since the first owner's surname is Lulens, let's call it the Rod of Lulens (mentally retarded), hehehe."
After naming the staff with vicious words, he put it away and continued to count the remaining trophies.
The rest of the loot is much worse, the animal hide armor for arrow protection, the gold earrings inscribed with the cleansing technique, the cross necklace with the minor healing technique, and finally dozens of gold coins.
Four magic items, a mysterious diamond, and a small handful of gold coins, that's all Jose's possessions.
He rested all his possessions on his pillow, thinking about his future plans.
In any case, he no longer wants to experience the sense of powerlessness he felt when facing Fa Ye, he must become stronger and control his own destiny.
As for safety and security...
A better life is the eternal yearning of intelligent creatures, and Jose is no exception, but now that he has become a giant dragon, he will definitely not be able to live a normal life, so it is better to establish his own power like the red nest mistress, recruiting The little brother occupies the mountain and becomes the king. It is up to him to choose whether he will bring harm to the party or save all sentient beings.
Shake your head and drive unrealistic fantasies out of your head.
Before becoming an adult, being king and hegemony can only be a fantasy, and being an adult is just a ticket to participate in the continental disputes.
In the Tidanor continent, although adult giant dragons exist at the top of the food chain, they are far from invincible, not to mention the human alliance that can defeat even the ancient dragon-level red nest mistress, and there are many extraordinary beasts that can fight against it. A powerful race for adult dragon imperial city PK.
In the depths of the mysterious Underdark region, in the deep sea unknown to the world, there are even abnormal races that surpass giant dragons in these places.
"Reckless and rich, dog eat chicken, keep a low profile and don't waste money."
One sentence set the general tone of future actions, and Jose began to plan his actions in the near future.
The woodland is really not suitable for him to survive. The red dragon is much larger than other dragons of the same age. The dense canopy will hinder the take-off, and he also worries that he will be blocked by people like the tiger.
Therefore, it is necessary to find new habitats.
According to the young dragon survival strategy given by the Dragon's Legacy, the habitat of the juvenile red dragon is best to be an abandoned mine pit extending in all directions, or a steep cliff. Largest, blocks most non-flying enemies.
Of course, the Jogol Mountains are full of plundering adventurers now, and the matter of migration needs to wait until the limelight passes.
At night, in the dark crypt there is only the sound of the breathing of the two dragons.
In a trance, Jose came to Xinghe Square again. Xinghe Square was not much different from when he left, and the statue of the phoenix still stood.
He walked quickly towards the Phoenix statue. Ever since he got the Phoenix Heart, he has been looking forward to coming to this mysterious space again to study the Phoenix sculpture in more detail, and now his wish has finally come true.
He circled around the phoenix sculpture, and the statue was no different from before, except that it lost the starlight it had when we first met it.
After researching for a while, I found nothing. It seems that the statue of the phoenix reborn from the ashes is only a milestone and a witness of his crossing.
He looked up at the starry sky, and sure enough, he found a different star. He knew in his heart that only when a new reward was born, could he come to this Xinghe Square.
"I don't know if all these stars fall, can they beat the great divine power."
Looking up at the sky full of stars, Jose was dreaming, and said lightly: "Come here."
A bright meteor fell, and a moment later, a new statue appeared next to the phoenix statue.
The same square base, the sculpture on the base has a very abstract artistic beauty. It looks like a cuboid when viewed from the front, and narrow up and down when viewed from the side, with a drum in the middle. The color is pale gold, like the special effects of treasures in Journey to the West.
Jose looked directly at the abstract sculpture and felt a sense of extravagance rushing towards his face.
Tall and high-end!
"But what exactly is it?"
With doubts, he glanced at the introduction on the base and couldn't help covering his face.
"God TM Jinkela!"
[Jinkela]: F
[The rest of life]:
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
— Sister, look, God crushes dogs.
Jose couldn't complain.
But thanks to this easy-to-understand name, he understood the effect of this reward after a little thought. It should be to increase potential or speed up growth, but it should not be effective immediately, but slowly over time. Slow to work.
Through the introduction and comparison of the two statues, he confirmed his previous thoughts, [Phoenix Heart] and [Jinkela] are both reward names.
The treasure levels are arranged in the order of F, E, D, C, B, A, S, but it is not clear whether there are SS and SSS on it.
He touched the statue, and a little bit of golden light poured out from the statue and penetrated into all parts of his body.
In the real world, in the dark crypt, the resting Red Dragon felt itchy all over his body, as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling on his body.
Not long after, the discomfort disappeared, and my whole body felt warm.
The red dragon took a long breath and continued to sleep soundly.
