Chapter 429 Dragon Treasure (two in one)
No one in the world can refuse the dragon treasure.
In fact, for most dragon slayers, honor is only part of it. The wealth accumulated by the dragons over hundreds of years is what the dragon slayers tirelessly pursue.
Especially dragons from the evil camp such as color dragons, they will always plunder property by any means. This also means that the treasures of color dragons are richer than those of metal dragons. Of course, they are also more dangerous. No one can guarantee everything on their body. Will it become part of the dragon's treasure?
In short, when Naomi mentioned these four words, everyone's attention was instantly attracted.
Even though the battle between the black dragon and Smaug is still going on - although Smaug is crushing it unilaterally, obviously everything will not end so quickly. Killing a giant dragon is not that easy.
"I have never seen any dragon's treasure." Barn looked at the stinking swamp and said: "If it is for the dragon's treasure, I can bear to sneak into this disgusting swamp."
"No, as I said, there are other entrances to the black dragon's cave." Naomi said, "Although the environment won't be much better."
Tang Sen informed Smaug through his mind not to damage his ingredients, and then followed Naomi towards the side of the swamp.
Soon, everyone saw a dark hole. The hole was not big enough to let the black dragon pass through.
"This is a cave dug by kobolds." Naomi said: "They breed like bugs in the black dragon's lair. They instinctively worship and surrender to the black dragon, so they will actively search for and capture other Creatures, take the captives to fill the black dragon’s belly.”
"Ah, a creature lower than goblins." Barn disdainfully.
"These guys should have been frightened by Smaug and hid deep in the cave." He said: "Maybe they are looking forward to Smaug occupying this territory so that they can serve a more powerful enemy."
"But they were greeted only by death."
The four of them walked into the cave, and everyone involuntarily squinted their eyes and covered their mouths and noses - the smell in the cave was not fresher than outside, but they had to guard against the worms and poisonous scorpions that could be seen everywhere.
Naomi simply escaped into the shadow plane.
The entrance to the cave is very narrow, and the kobolds are generally not very tall. It is not until they are completely deep into the cave that the surroundings become clear.
Countless bones piled up like a mountain, with snakes, insects, rats and ants walking among them, and the strong smell of acid made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.
Tang Sen had to expand the space for the surgical fruit to disperse the aura.
"I didn't see even a single gold coin, there were only corpses here." Barn looked around.
"The dragon will not put its treasure in the place where it eats." Naomi's figure emerged: "Follow me, we are not far from the dragon's treasure house."
The cave shook, and it was clear that the battle above was not over yet.
"The black dragon knows that we have entered his cave. He will most likely try to destroy it directly. Even if his treasures are buried forever, he does not want others to get them."
Tang Sen frowned slightly and told Smaug to stop the black dragon's crazy behavior.
Continuing deeper, everyone found a light coming from the front.
colorful.
Baan couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he turned a corner, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"A lot of money!"
Trish's eyes lit up.
Only then did Tang Sen see the appearance of the dragon's treasure house.
This is obviously a huge underground cave. Half of it is water. Needless to say, you should be able to reach the swamp on the ground directly through the water channel from the water surface. The other half is filled with various treasures.
Most of them are golden gold coins, but there are also various kinds of gems - the glimmer of light in the cave is emitted by these gems.
How should I put it, Tang Sen was not too shocked.
He had seen the sea of gold in the dwarf hall when Smaug occupied the Lonely Mountain. In front of that kind of visual shock, this small golden mountain in front of him was nothing.
If Smaug were here, he would probably taunt the poor man and then try his best to get into the golden mountain.
Cui Xi stepped forward excitedly, wanting to pick up a gem.
"Be careful." Naomi stepped over to stop her and said, "These things have been soaked by the black dragon for too long and are contaminated with extremely strong acid. If you don't want your skin to be corroded, it's best not to touch them at will."
Cui Xi retracted her hand angrily, and then politely thanked Naomi.
"The gold coins here should be close to one million, right?" Tang Sen made a rough calculation.
"If you count the value of those gems, there should be." Naomi said: "Even among adult dragons, this black dragon is considered wealthy. It must have destroyed many cities."
Tang Sen didn't care about the money. What he wanted to find was something related to purchasing goods, that is, the ancient dragon.
He is convinced that the connection between this black dragon and the ancient black dragon Tibur is definitely not the so-called killing of the black dragon will attract the other party - black dragons do not have this concept, they do not care about the life and death of their own race, even their own children, if they are in the young dragon If it does not leave its nest after the period is over, it may be eaten directly.
So, maybe it's a certain item.
At this time, Cui Xi suddenly noticed that Barn was still standing in the original position with a dull expression.
This is unusual.
She joked: "Mr. Barn, I thought you would just pounce on me."
Barn woke up from a dream, shook his head and said, "Strange, I heard someone talking to me."
"I'm talking to you." Cui Xi said seriously.
"No, it's a strange voice. It's in dwarven language." Barn looked around with confusion on his face: "Is there a charm spell here?"
"I'm sure there aren't any magic traps here." Naomi said firmly.
"And I didn't hear any sound." Cui Xi said.
Tang Sen's expression became solemn: "Except for the four of us, I didn't sense the existence of anyone else."
The fruit space of his surgery is always expanding.
"What is that voice talking to you?"
Baan knocked on his head and said: "There are too many clans and conquering giants. No, he spoke directly in my head!"
"It's a smart magic item."
Tang Sen was holding the blue orb composed of part of Dahuang's consciousness in his hand, and Dahuang's voice came from it.
"What do you mean?" Tang Sen asked.
"A magical item with a mind. After building the Mage Tower, my master began to research this aspect of magic and achieved certain results." Dahuang replied: "That's why I was born."
"Many arcanists like to add intelligent awareness to their magic props or weapons, which can make them more convenient to use."
Tang Sen raised his eyebrows: "Then why can't we hear it?"
"If only the dwarves hear it, I think this magic item may come from the dwarves, or at least be made for the dwarves." Dahuang said: "It will not be willing to be used by creatures of other races."
"Magic item? Dwarves?" Barn looked confused: "No, it talks too fast, too many! My brain feels like it is going to be filled up!"
"Perhaps it is because it has been left in the black dragon's collection for too long, so it has a strong desire to communicate, or perhaps its intelligence has been shaped into this personality."
"Find it! I have to find it!" Barn yelled, "I can't stand the voice that keeps yelling in my head!"
Townsend feels the same way.
Smaug is an extremely talkative dragon. When Tang Sen opens up the perspective of the outside world, he will always complain in his own consciousness. Fortunately, Tang Sen often chooses to block the other party's words.
"I think if it's a magic item, it should be in this pile, right?"
Cui Xi pointed carefully at the pile of "junk metal" in the corner.
Obviously, the black dragon has sorted out his treasures. Those golden or colorful things are placed in the most conspicuous places for him to watch at all times, while these unattractive things are thrown directly into the corner.
It's ugly in appearance, but it's not unprecious. Obviously, this pile of treasures came from adventurers who failed to challenge the black dragon, or the black dragon plundered treasures from other cities.
The adventurers who dare to challenge the dragon will not be as weak as ordinary adventurers. At the very least, they are a team of adventurers of more than ten levels. With the strength of this black dragon, there may even be nine rings who die in its hands. Spell caster.
Tang Sen had already seen an obviously extraordinary staff above, as well as a set of sophisticated plate armor.
"This staff is fixed with a four-ring plastic spell, Ice Storm, which can be used once a day, and a six-ring plastic spell, Chain Lightning, which can be used once every three days." Dahuang quickly introduced: "And , it can slightly enhance the power of evocation spells."
"Energy plasticity system?" Cuixi raised her head suddenly.
"It's yours." Tang Sen waved his hand: "It suits you very well."
"I think so too." Cui Xi laughed and used the Zero Ring Magician's Hand to take the staff over.
She still remembered Naomi's warning to her.
It's not that she doesn't have anything more precious than this staff, but how can the things the teacher prepared for her compare to the trophies she personally obtained during the adventure?
"As for the plate armor, it doesn't have any magic runes, it's just an ordinary set of refined plate armor."
During the interval of Rhubarb's appraisal, Baan had already rushed forward and messed up the pile of magic items. Fortunately, he was wearing fine gold gloves, so his skin would not be burned by the strong acid.
"I've almost found it. It's here!" he kept mumbling.
"Are you sure this is okay?" Tang Sen frowned slightly: "Barn looks like his mind has been affected."
"Then it depends on the tendency of this intelligent magic item. If its will is biased toward the evil camp, it may induce its owner to fall into evil. However, those items are generally derived from demons or demons. Dwarven items tend to be good or neutral."
Dahuang explained: "I need to see the real thing."
"That's it!" At this time, Baan had found a huge war hammer. He held the handle of the hammer and tried to lift it, but the war hammer just shook.
"My wife is too heavy!" Barn suppressed his blush.
"I can feel the power contained in this war hammer." Dahuang said: "Exquisite skills, there is no doubt that this is a legendary item. Another feature of intelligent magic items, only specific beings can get it recognize it and use it, otherwise, it is no different from ordinary items."
"Come to think of it, that black dragon didn't realize the specialness of this war hammer at all."
"Didn't I get recognition?" Baan took a horse stance and exerted force with both hands at the same time. Tang Sen could see the veins popping up on its forehead, but it only raised the warhammer a little.
"If it is willing to communicate with you, that means you have gained its approval." Dahuang never had any mood swings when speaking, but the words were very heartbreaking: "I think you just can't lift it up."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Barn furiously said, "There is no hammer that a dwarf cannot lift!"
"Many high-quality magic items have their own requirements for use, not to mention legendary items." Dahuang said: "This war hammer is not for ordinary people."
Baan's strength had been exhausted. As soon as he loosened his strength, the war hammer hit the ground with a loud sound, and ripples shook the water on one side.
"The sound disappeared." He said with a slumped expression, "I felt its loss."
"Forget it. Maybe I really don't deserve it."
The dwarf sat down on the ground and lowered his head.
"I have a way." Cui Xi said cautiously: "I have a Tansen Transformation Scroll here -"
"No, no need."
Baan's voice was as low as ever: "Such a precious spell scroll is just a waste for me to use."
“What makes no sense and can’t be lifted is that it can’t be lifted.”
"Barn——" Cui Xi was at a loss.
"I'm just an ordinary dwarf." Baan said: "I should have known myself long ago. I can only deal with goblins and ogres, and I have no ability to participate in such a legendary adventure, such as lichs and dragons. A dwarf like me is only qualified to sit in a tavern and listen to others bragging, then get drunk, and then set out the next day to do some small tasks to earn a few gold coins."
The stimulation along the way coupled with the growing frustration finally reached its peak at this moment.
Tang Sen could see that the dwarf warrior's mentality was broken.
"I can't help you with anything. I'm obviously a warrior who should be in front of everyone, but I can only hide behind everyone. Carmelo is right, the difference in strength is too big, and it has no meaning other than holding back. "
"No, don't say that, I'm very weak too." Cui Xi said calmly.
Baan raised his head and glanced at her. Everyone could see that he was not comforted at all, and even became even more depressed.
"It doesn't matter, they are all boss's trophies anyway. Let alone the legendary war hammer, I can't even match the armor on my body, so I will just be a cook." He choked up: "When this adventure is over, I Just go back to the mountains and dig.”
The corner of Tang Sen's mouth twitched.
He really couldn't bear to tell him that being a cook honestly was his main purpose of recruiting him in the first place.
Of course, Barn's performance later gave him the idea of nurturing the opponent, but this does not happen overnight.
"Barn, stand up."
Tang Sen maintained his superficial calm and said, "If you think you are not worthy, then you can really only be a miner in this life."
"It's useless for me to take a legendary warhammer that only dwarves can use, so I don't mind giving it to you until you can control it."
Baan did not raise his head, but he did slowly get up and said in a low voice: "The boss is a generous person. But I am indeed too weak. There are more powerful dwarf warriors in my tribe, and he is more worthy of these. If it’s the boss, he must be willing to be hired.”
"No, this condition is only for you." Tang Sen said calmly: "I don't care about other dwarves, you are my team member."
Barn raised his head suddenly, and everyone could see the tears on his face.
"I" he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Tang Sen could feel that a new mark of the Dark Lord was lighting up in the world.
"You won't be unable to lift it for the rest of your life."
Naomi gave a rare word of comfort.
Tang Sen glanced at her and suddenly realized that no one present was very good at comforting others.
"If everyone is done talking, can I interrupt?"
At this time, Dahuang's voice suddenly sounded.
"Dwarf, could you lift your feet? I noticed you are stepping on a belt."
Barn was confused and almost instinctively raised his feet. He didn't know why this dull consciousness was saying this at this time. At least he didn't choose to comfort himself.
This actually gave Baan some comfort.
"It seems that I did not admit my mistake." Dahuang continued: "Maybe your problem has been solved."
"What?" Barn slowly opened his mouth.
"This is a belt of giant strength." Dahuang said: "An extremely rare item."
"From the characteristics point of view, the core of this belt comes from a stone giant. Although it is not as good as the fire giant, cloud giant or even storm giant, wearing this belt can still give you the same power as the stone giant."
"I think it and this war hammer should come from the same place. Obviously, the black dragon does not need the belt of giant strength, its power is enough."
Baan instinctively looked at Tang Sen.
"I don't mind giving you one more piece. There are plenty of trophies here anyway." Tang Sen spread his hands and said with a smile, "Would you like to try it on?"
Barn picked up the belt with unprecedented agility, and wrapped it hastily around the outside of the plate armor. After finding that it had no effect, he took off the breastplate with difficulty, and then put on the belt.
"I felt a surge of strength."
He clenched his fist, and then there was a crisp click sound.
Under the uncontrollable force, his finger bones were directly broken.
