Augusta was riding on the back of the unicorn, with a blank face, looking at the building in the distance. He felt that his face could no longer make other expressions today, and he would rather believe that it was caused by the strong wind.
The prison flame hovered above his head. It has performed invisibility for itself, otherwise it will definitely frighten the common people who don't know the truth.
"Hellfire... I thought the 'nest' you mentioned meant a cave or an underground cave, or a place like an occupied dwarf kingdom, but this..."
The black dragon wagged its tail triumphantly: "Primitives live in caves! What's the age now, so what if I live in a more luxurious and comfortable place?"
The "Dragon's Nest" in Augusta's imagination should be a dark cave in the middle of a mountain or a deep valley with lava and sulfur floating in it. A hundred-story skyscraper in the strip! The magician looked at the busy street under his feet, and at the blue glass covering the surface of the building, and suddenly felt that everything was so unreal. He really wanted to drive the unicorn to fly to the building, and just smash it to death on the glass curtain wall.
"Why do you want to live in this kind of place! You are a dragon! How dare you call yourself a dragon if you don't put your treasure in the cave!"
"I heard that you humans are full of stereotyped prejudices against others, and it seems to be true! Gold piled in a hole will not multiply by itself! I am building a commercial building in the city center, and the land price is changing with each passing day. To invest, now my wealth is much more than in the past. In the past, I only had a cave full of treasures, and now I rule a kingdom of wealth! And I keep myself on the top floor of the building. Not to mention the beautiful scenery, I look down on you every day What a wonderful feeling to see a bunch of poor, short-lived creatures scrambling and hustle and bustle just to survive!"
I really want to go back and leave! thought Augusta. Let this guy deal with Cavodian himself! I don't want to help him at all!
"Go, magician, there is a helipad on the top of the building, just land there." Guiyan urged.
This time it was all right, the black dragon cut off the escape route, and it was too late to escape.
There is a circled H drawn on the roof of the building. It seems that when it was built, it was used as a landing pad for helicopters, but now it has become a landing ground for dragons, and no helicopters can be seen. As the wind howled high above, Augusta drove the unicorn to the tarmac. He keenly saw something standing on the roof, not a person, but...
"Hey, unicorn, look, there's a black unicorn over there!" Augusta patted the unicorn's neck.
In the corner of the roof stood a unicorn-like creature, which was different from the one under Augusta. The creature was completely black, with blood-red eyes, and a long dull black horn on its forehead. Whenever it When walking, a fire will rise under the hooves, and it will be extinguished quickly.
Guiyan said: "Did you see it? That's Cavodian's mount. I heard that there is no room for pets in his own apartment, so he let the black unicorn live in the parking space in the underground parking lot."
The unicorn was so embarrassing in front of everyone not long ago, it had made up its mind not to speak, but what Heyan said made it scream: "That's not a unicorn! Do you have any common sense! Thanks to you, you are still alive!" Hundreds of years of dragons and famous archmages—wasn’t worth the name! I’ve read all the books in the stomach of a dog!”
"Besides the color, I don't see any difference between you."
"The difference is huge!" the unicorn roared, "I am a bright and pure holy unicorn, and that one is a terrifying creature born from the darkness—'Nightmare'!"
Guiyan pondered: "Hmm... It's hard to understand. But I know that there are white and black people among human beings, and there are probably white and black beasts among unicorns."
"I told you it's not like that!"
Heilong ignored him. It folded its wings and landed on the tarmac. Unexpectedly, its body looks huge and heavy, but its landing movement is unexpectedly light and elegant. When the giant dragon landed, there was a gust of air current, and the pitch-black "Nightmare" remained motionless, turning a blind eye to the giant dragon descending from the sky.
Augusta let the unicorn land at a distance from the prison flame to avoid being hit by its wings. The unicorn glanced at Nightmare in disgust, and immediately looked away. "Hmph, foul creature! I don't want to stand on the same ground with it!"
…Maybe Nightmare has the same thoughts as you. "It's just Cavodian's pet, don't worry about it." Augusta comforted the unicorn.
"How did that guy think of raising a nightmare! Ha, I know, he must be imitating you!" The unicorn said firmly, "He just likes to compare with you, and he wants what you have. But His kind of scheming person will definitely not be favored by our bright and pure holy unicorn, so we can only make a nightmare horse." It shook its head, "It's also pretty miserable!"
"Are you praising my kindness in disguise?"
"No! I reluctantly agreed to let you take me because I saw you were pitiful. Who told me that I am a compassionate and noble creature!"
"... Well, well, whatever you say is what you say." Augusta jumped off the unicorn's back helplessly. Hell Flame turned back into a human form at this time. The apron was originally occupied by the giant dragon's huge body, but now it is suddenly empty, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Diagonal Nightmare stared at them coldly. Augusta's heart trembled.
"Magician!" Guiyan shouted, "What are you doing in a daze! Let's go!"
They entered the fire escape on the roof. Prison Yan lived on the top floor of the building, so it was quite convenient to fly in and out. They went down one floor, and there was a locked door in front of them. There was no keyhole on the door, but the switch was controlled by a fingerprint reader. It was really unexpected that Guiyan would use such an advanced device.
The unicorn followed them step by step. Guiyan glanced at it, and asked Augusta: "Why did your means of transportation follow?"
"Are you going to abandon me?!" the unicorn said in horror.
"Have you ever seen a horse brought into a house?"
"I'm not a horse, I'm a unicorn, I can't be generalized! And I don't want to be with that nightmare... Bah! I mean, I don't want to stay outside if the wind is so strong that it freezes to death! Besides, I'm traveling a long way The guests who came, how can you leave the guests outside the door!"
"But Cavodian's black unicorn is outside."
"How can that kind of dark and evil creature be compared to me! And Cavodian is a psychopath, maybe he likes to cruelty to animals..."
Guiyan thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, I can't learn from Cavodian. Come in."
He pressed his fingerprint on the fingerprint reader, turned to Augusta and asked, "Your mobility tool...you taught it how to go to the toilet, right?"
"I'll put a horn on you, stupid lizard!" cried the unicorn.
"...don't come in."
The door opened. Guiyan was not condescending, he didn't even say "please come in", he assumed the door first. Augusta glared at the unicorn, signaled it to shut up, and then followed Guiyan into the house.
"Ahhh! My eyes!"
As soon as he entered Guiyan's apartment, Augusta covered his eyes and wailed.
If Mr. Leopold the Skeleton had seen such a room, he would have scolded furiously: "Nouveau riche taste!"
Guiyan's apartment is very spacious. After all, the whole floor is his residence. The living room in front of him alone is as big as a museum exhibition hall. And such a spacious room, from the ceiling to the walls to the floor, is all bright golden, coupled with the lighting, Augusta felt that his eyeballs suffered an inhuman color attack. There are golden chandeliers hanging from the golden ceiling, golden picture frames hanging on the golden walls, silver lattice mosaics on the golden floor (not golden this time, but silver is not much better), sofas, tables The chairs seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, and even the corners of the walls were not decorated with ordinary green plants, but a kind of yellow flower.
"My eyes! I'm going blind! How can people live in this kind of place! People who can live here must be sick!"
Guiyan coughed dissatisfied: "The master of this place is right in front of you."
"I can't see anything! I'm blind!"
"Hey, you humans not only have bad taste, but your eyes are also so fragile. Don't humans like gold very much? You really put gold in front of your eyes, but you think it's too shiny, tsk tsk, duplicity, saying one thing and doing another." Hell Flame dimmed the lights in the room a bit. Although it couldn't completely cover up the heartbreaking golden color, it at least made it less dazzling.
Only then did Augusta dare to let go of his hands covering his eyes.
"Carvodian had the guts to live in a place like this... I admire him a little now..." he muttered.
"That's a delight to hear, my friend." A familiar voice came from the sofa.
The sofa, with its back to Augusta, was also golden, if not gilded, at least made of some kind of alloy (it must be a pain in the butt to sit on such a sofa, the magician thought). Since the sofa was golden and the man's hair was also golden, Augusta completely failed to notice that there was someone sitting on the sofa at first.
One stood up and turned to Augusta.
"I will skip the polite words of 'Welcome to the humble house', after all, this house cannot be regarded as a 'shabby house'." The man said with a smile.
"... Cavodian!" Augusta gritted his teeth.
Cavodian is about the same age as Augusta, but maybe because he pays much attention to his appearance, while Augusta has always neglected to take care of himself, so he looks a few years younger than Augusta. Compared with the last time we met, his face has not changed at all, he still has blond hair, casually draped on his shoulders, thin cheeks, deep contours, raised corners of eyes, thin lips, showing a somewhat cynical look. He was wearing a well-tailored black robe, and he was leaning on a thin civilized staff in his right hand—this was not because he pursued a gentleman's style, or deliberately showed his identity as an archmage, but because he was really bad at walking, Had to rely on a cane for support.
"What's 'Welcome to my humble house'! This is my home! Don't talk like you are the master!" Guiyan yelled, "But you won't be around for long, I brought this magician here, it is said that he is the only Someone who can restrain you." The black dragon youth stared at Cavodian's right leg, "I heard that your leg was mutilated by him? Then I really found the right person!"
"Uh...listen to my explanation, it's rumors, the truth is not what you think..." Augusta was sweating profusely.
Cavodian leaned on a cane with both hands, and put his body weight on the stick: "Actually, there is some truth to that statement. If Augusta's healing technique is better, I won't be permanently disabled. .”
"Isn't it good that you retired obediently at that time! How dare you blame me?"
"How can I bear to blame you, my friend, it's all my fault for being ambitious. Of course, I also paid the corresponding price for it."
He raised the corner of his mouth, and the dim light cast on his face, forming a dark shadow.
