Chapter 631: True and False Dragon Eggs (I)
"Choice? Hmph, what an arrogant idiot. I am the priestess of the goddess Rose, always faithful to my goddess. Firi glanced at the place where Yuxumo had disappeared, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and a sarcastic smile appeared. She knew very well that the other party had already attracted a lot of people in this city, and there was no doubt that he was planning for the gods.
Every deity needs believers and the church to spread the mind and expand the influence of their priesthood. Joan. Irenikas quickly realized this after studying the secrets of divinity. However, due to his previous ruthless methods, most of his men have died, so he has to dig the foot of the wall from the dark elves.
But the plan was doomed from the start. As the first city, Uster. Nassa's faith in Rose was not ordinarily strong, and even the god of ooze monsters, Guannard, and the god of conspiracy of the dark elves, Viren, could not infiltrate the land, let alone an outsider.
Although Firi pretended to cooperate with Yu Xumo on the surface in order to obtain more information, in his bones, he didn't look down on the other party at all. Not to mention such an important thing as re-choosing faith, it's okay not to stab at the last minute. She looked through the window towards the Second Family's residence, and saw that there was already a fire burning there......
The original plan of the faithful executor of Antleb drew the attention of the whole city. I believe that there must be countless dark elf nobles who are paying attention to the ongoing war now, they probably would never have dreamed that this is just the beginning, there will be countless families uprooted tonight, and the higher the ranking, the faster they will die.
On the other side, after Henry and the others took over the task. Returning to the first family non-stop. Knowing that stealing from a well-defended treasury is not an easy task. The traps that are all around are troublesome enough. Not to mention the sheer number of guards and golems, even the best stealth masters can't figure out guΓ².
After carefully scouting around the neighborhood, Feder did not alarm anyone, and quietly came to Henry's side and whispered: "Boss, there are four guards at the entrance of the treasure house, and I see through the keyhole that there are five golems inside. Two of them are clay golems, and the other three are stone golems. Their eyes are inlaid with special gemstones, which are absolutely able to see through the invisible. β
"Oh? So we can only carry an axe to kill it? Kogan had an eager look on his face.
"Absolutely not! Inside the passage to the treasure trove. There are two guards every thirty meters, and the slightest sound comes from us and we're dead. Fidel gave the dwarf a vicious glare. She didn't want to play with this bloodthirsty madman, not everyone liked to be idle and have nothing to do with her head in her belt.
"Okay, don't argue, we need to make a plan now." Henry waved his hand to stop the two of them from staring wide, frowning as he carefully analyzed the current form.
"First of all, it's definitely not okay to break in, there are so many people who are alarmed like that, it's hard to guarantee that people outside won't hear it. Secondly, there are definitely quite a few traps inside the treasure trove. Plus five golems, and it's destined for a fierce battle. Somehow must be found to distract the guards......"
Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the dust on the ceiling fell one after another, as if there had been a great earthquake, and even the pure gold gate seemed to be unable to withstand this huge force, and began to twist and deform a little.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the ground of the hall instantly cracked, and the two guards who couldn't dodge screamed miserably, and fell directly, and they didn't hear the sound of falling for a long time.
Kogan clutched the ground and cursed loudly, "Damn! Can anyone tell me what's going on? Was there an earthquake!! β
"Do you need to ask? Look at the cracks in the ground over there, it must have been an earthquake! Feder said with a blank look at the dwarf.
Fortunately, the strong shock did not last long, and gradually stopped after a minute or two. The guards who survived the catastrophe got up from the ground in twos and threes, and discussed what had just happened fiercely, all of them with a look of horror on their faces, and they looked very frightened.
But Henry was keenly aware that the earthquake seemed to have affected only the stalagmites where the First Family was located, and there was no problem at all in the rest of the world, not even the pedestrians on the street. It was clear that the earthquake was caused by magic, and if nothing else, the epicenter was in a secret room here, perhaps as a side effect of the summoning ritual arranged by the Mother of Adul.
Of course, this is just speculation, and unless you see it with your own eyes, it's hard to determine what the cause is. But this vibration brings an opportunity to take the dragon egg quietly. Because the guards had gathered together because of the earthquake just now, as long as someone delayed for a few more minutes, he was sure to complete the bag drop.
"Kogan! Fidel! I need you both to create something and draw everyone's attention. Saying that, Henry directly activated the "Advanced Stealth Technique" on the Gus Ring, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Damn! Why do you let me do this dirty work every time! The dwarf struggled to get up from the ground and grumbled.
Fei De also shook the dust off his body angrily: "The boss can do whatever he says, anyway, it's just a play." Be careful! β
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed out like an arrow from a string, slamming Kogan with her shoulder. The unprepared dwarf flew out several meters in an instant, directly on the body of one of the guards, and the two rolled on the ground together for several times before stopping.
"Male! I'm fed up with cutting your throat if there's a next time! Feder feigned anger and roared.
Kogan, who had been knocked to pieces, shook his head vigorously, got up from the ground again, and attacked without saying a word, waving his fists. He understood that he was not good at words, so he chose to do it directly.
The two of them had a very tacit understanding that they did not use weapons, because it would easily attract the interference of the guards. In general, no one will stop this kind of fist fight, and there will be a lot of people gathered around to watch the excitement and even bet for money.
"Hah! Take a look. They actually fought. One of the guards laughed and beckoned his companions to come and watch.
"Guess who wins? Is it male or female? β
"Women, I guess. Look at her agile movements. It's almost impossible to see clearly. β
"Humph! I bet on men to win! Didn't you notice? The man was very strong and would definitely make it to the end. β
"Bet five gold coins! Men win! β
"I'll bet ten gold coins! Women win! β
β¦β¦
All of a sudden, the hall was filled with the cacophony of guards. They pulled out the coins on their bodies and began to bet, attracting almost everyone's attention. In this situation, Henry came to the treasure house unhindered, and directly took out the key to open the door.
When he saw the situation inside, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he muttered a small curse in his mouth: "Bastard...... These damn dark elves are really cunning. So many fakes were made. β
I saw that in the circular room with a diameter of more than 20 meters, there were more than 30 dragon eggs of different sizes densely stacked, and five golems with red eyes stood there motionless. Obviously, only one of these eggs is real, and the others are fakes that can be faked as genuine.
Under such strict protection, such a method was used, and Henry didn't even know whether to praise the other party's caution. However, this replica of Cheng dΓΉ was not too difficult for him, and under the perception of the legendary druid, he soon found the egg with a real life reaction.
However, he didn't rush to get it, but first blessed himself with a sixth-level magic "Protective Magic Weapon" and a fifth-level "Protective Ordinary Weapon". At the moment when the dragon egg was just exchanged. The eyes of the five golems flashed with a red light, and they attacked with fists the size of sandbags.
I saw that the fist was getting closer and closer to my head. Henry continued to chant incantations unhurriedly, completely ignoring the golems. When he was still a few centimeters away from his eyes, the huge fist was suddenly blocked by an invisible force field, and it was deflected one after another, all of which hit the air, not even a single hair was injured.
Generally speaking, when mages make golems, they usually reinforce certain special parts, so their fists can basically be regarded as magic weapons. However, for the sake of insurance, Henry still blessed the "protection of ordinary weapons", so there is no need to dodge at all, and before the protection disappears, unless it is a real artifact, it is absolutely impossible to break through this position.
After a few seconds, the spell was finally completed. He playfully waved at the golem and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The five golems that had lost their aim spun around in place after a few turns regained their composure, as if nothing had happened. After all, they are only magical creatures without intelligence, and they can only be guarded here according to the orders of the creator, and once they are out of the scope of their duties, they will immediately enter a standby state.
With a little trickery, Henry easily dropped the dragon egg, neither destroying the golem nor arousing the guards' ideas, everything was so perfect. As he passed by Kogan and Fed, he whispered, "It's okay." Then he quietly returned to the hall, and slowly revealed his figure while no one was looking.
Soon, the two who understood each other pretended to be powerless, and immediately ended the farce, and the follower Henry left the First Family Station. Completely ignoring the guards who were hotly discussing the outcome of the game, they took a step out of this dangerous place.
On the way, Henry carefully took out the dragon egg and took a closer look, since there are not many pedestrians on the street now, so there is no need to worry about being seen by outsiders. He could feel that there was indeed a living life in this egg, but it was difficult to say whether it was a silver dragon or not, and it was really difficult to tell unless he could find a place where no one could test the magic ritual.
"What, there's something wrong with this dragon egg?" Fidel asked cautiously.
"Well, I seriously suspect that this egg is Joan. Irenikas forged it, and the real dragon egg is probably in the hands of Yuxumo, so it suits their style. Forget it, the priority is to find a safe place to test, we are short on time and must find the answer before Firi becomes suspicious. With that, Henry quickened his pace...... (To be continued......)
