Chapter 98: The Resentment
Chapter 98: The Resentment
of the Dragon Patriarch
"You can't either?" Du Wei took a deep breath.
"Me?" The old magician smiled: "I can't, at least in this world, I only think that there are two guys whose magical strength may surpass mine." One is His Majesty the Pope in the temple, and the other is the chairman of the Magic Union.
Du Wei didn't understand what the old magician meant.
But then the old magician smiled bitterly and said, "The two guys I just said are what I think 'may' surpass me." But this Dragon Clan Patriarch is what I know, and his strength must surpass my guy! Because when I came here two hundred years ago, I fought it once, and that time it almost killed me with almost half its strength. I think if I hadn't had that contract between Aragon and the Dragon Clan in my hands, I would have died here two hundred years ago!
As he spoke, the voice of the Dragon Clan Patriarch had already come from the cave.
"You are too modest, my friend."
The patriarch had returned, holding a narrow box in his hand, slowly walked over and said with a slight smile: "I want to correct your two mistakes." First, I don't know about others, but I think that the chairman of your Magicians' Guild in the human world is definitely not as strong as you. Second, the strength of His Majesty the Pope of the Temple is not 'probably' above you, but definitely above you.
"How do you know." Du Wei asked.
"Because, I have been to your human world... Become like this, travel your human world, learn your culture and civilization... Because I wondered what it was like in the human world that a strong person like Aragon could emerge! I go to the human world every hundred years, but I am disappointed every time! Because it seems that even the most numerous race: humans. There has never been a man as strong as Aragon. The Dragon Clan Patriarch said lightly: "The chairman of the Sorcerers' Guild and the Pope of the Temple, I have secretly challenged them. So, my old friend, you don't need to be modest, I think that you are in the ranks of magicians in the human world, and your strength can definitely rank first... If the Pope does not leave the Temple.
After
that, it casually threw the box on the ground. The tone gradually cooled: "Okay! Take the keys and go! My old friend, you know where the secret room is! Open it, take what's inside, and leave my territory! You're right about at least one thing: I still hate humans! Especially that scumbag from Aragon!
After
that, the Dragon Clan Patriarch snorted and turned to leave.
Just as it "hummed", Du Wei suddenly felt that a trace of sound penetrate into his ears. It was as if an invisible big hand had grabbed his heart fiercely, and then it seemed as if blood was rushing up all over his body!
It sounded like a hammer!
Du Wei's face turned pale in an instant, and then his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted! Fortunately, the old magician pulled Du Wei with a serious face, and his palm pressed on the back of Du Wei's heart. A glimmer of light earth spell brilliance enveloped Du Wei. Du Wei took a deep breath and eased up.
But then, Hussein's face behind him suddenly changed, and the proud knight opened his mouth. A mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth!
The knight looked shocked, looked at the hole where the dragon patriarch disappeared, gritted his teeth and said, "This... What is it.
"It's dragon magic." The old magician sighed: "It has already left its subordinates merciful."
"But why is she okay?" Du Wei pointed to Medusa, who was standing quietly.
"Because this patriarch only hates humans." The old magician smiled bitterly. He glanced at Hussein, who had a scowling face: "Hussein! Don't expect you to challenge him now! Believe me, even if you are a paladin, your strength is much worse than it! The
dragon language magic that the dragon patriarch cast before he left was really powerful, and Du Wei was pacified by the old magician's light spell, his mind gradually calmed down, and the boiling blood in his chest gradually calmed down. And Hussein. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, it was a great shame, if it weren't for the old magician's admonition, this proud knight would probably go to the dragon patriarch to duel now.
"It seems that the dragon clan's temperament is not very good." Du Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Just because Aragon used to overwhelm the dragon clan and let them lose face, so this patriarch hated Aragon so much, and as a result, even we hated it?"
The old magician frowned and whispered, "I told you." This patriarch is a complicated fellow. It says that the one it hates the most is Aragon, but in my opinion. It not only hated Aragon, but also had a subtle respect. After all, Aragon was the only human who had defeated the Dragon Patriarch head-on. It is precisely this complex mind that will quietly sneak into the human world to travel.
After
saying this, the old magician said loudly: "Okay, don't waste time, it's important for us to get down to business!" Follow me and let's see the secret room that Aragorn left here!
Immediately, everyone followed the old magician out of this hall. The old guy seems to be familiar with the road here, after walking through a hole, facing the countless forks inside, he did not hesitate to take a few people to turn left and right, along the way, to Du Wei's surprise,
they saw some strange "things".
It was in the passage inside the cave he passed (to be honest, Dewey even wondered if he had gotten into a rat hole.) This dragon cave is full of forks in the road. ), there are some tall and low rock platforms. Those rocks are all those black rocks and irons unique to the sacred mountain, and on the platform, on the sharp and angular spikes, large and small are inserted... Head!
It is a head, and there are different shapes, and what is even more puzzling is that it seems that none of these heads belong to humans!
On these spike-like sharp corners, those heads have different appearances, and some also wear strange helmets, but the same point is: Du Wei can see that these heads seem to have been screwed off by life!
I don't know how many years have passed, but fortunately the temperature in this place is cold and dry, so these heads have dried up. But they are not rotten, and you can barely see their true face!
So, Du Wei saw these things:
those things whose heads were three or four times larger than ordinary people, from the facial features and the shape of the bones, they seemed to resemble some kind of feline, and there were faint lines on their dried skin... Flat mouth and nose, and ears on top of the head ... The scary thing is that the ground angles below pierce the underside of their necks. Then it sticks out of the mouth, making this scene particularly scary!
Others, with long bulges from the mouth, do not see the obvious nose, just two small holes above the mouth, probably the nostrils of breathing. And the ears are exceptionally small... In terms of shape, it is more like some kind of cow and horse or other animals.
There are also skulls with long jaws similar to those of crocodiles. Occupying two-thirds of the entire skull, the teeth are distributed on the upper and lower jaws, which are unusually sharp... Humans can't have such teeth anyway.
Seeing these heads, thinking of the headless dried corpses he saw under the mountain, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart! These heads have weathered for an unknown number of years. The skin is shriveled, and although it is not decayed, it also looks very scary, especially if some eyelids have not yet closed. A hollow and dazed look appeared in his eyelids...
Of course, there are some guys who are very human-like, those heads are slightly smaller, even much thinner than normal humans, from the size of the heads, Du Wei guessed that the body of this race is about shorter and thinner than ordinary humans, but "they" look the most pleasing of these heads. Even if the weathering dries up. The faces of these guys are still lifelike, and from the outline of their facial features, they are obviously very delicate,Well-proportioned, just their long, pointy ears ...
"These are elves." The old magician reminded him appropriately behind him, and his tone was very low: "Those big earth things are orcs."
"You know?" Du Wei looked back at the old magician.
"Yes, these. It is the race of the deported land. The old magician whispered.
Expelled races. Du Wei silently recited this sentence in his heart. As if he felt something, he slowly walked through these sharp rocks with heads inserted.
Go all the way. What surprised him was that after walking out of this passage, it was actually a bottomless abyss!
This abyss is in the belly of the sacred mountain, and the edges around it are very narrow, but in the position where Du Wei is, looking at the opposite side from afar, you can see a large cave mouth, and then a protruding rock sticks out above the abyss, forming a huge platform.
Under the abyss, there is a faint howling wind, and it is also entangled with dead black qi, and the wind sound seems to be mixed with some kind of harsh shout, which makes people listen to it creepy!
"This is the altar of the offering." The old magician pointed to the protruding rock on the other side of the abyss and said with a smile: "That's the altar." The dragons would store the heads of the slain captives around the abyss, stick them on the spurting rocks, and then perform a sacrifice every hundred years. They would pluck the heads off the spurting rocks and then perform a ritual and throw them into the canyon. And then... Looking forward to the next hundred years, in which they will continue to kill the strong men of the expelled races who tried to return from the north, then stick their heads on the spurs, wait for the next sacrifice, and then throw them into the abyss.
"What's the point of doing that?" Du Wei was puzzled.
"The mission of the Dragon Clan is to guard here! But this mission has existed for an unknown number of years! Even before the time of Aragon, the Dragon Clan has been here! You think, such a mission is said to be a guard, but in fact, why is it not a kind of imprisonment of the dragon clan? Wouldn't it be equivalent to limiting the dragon clan here forever? What is the difference between this and a prisoner? Therefore, when the dragon clan accepted the mission given by the gods, they were not willing. So the gods left them a glimmer of hope ... A glimmer of hope to get rid of this mission. A condition for accomplishing a mission.
"What conditions?"
The old magician's eyes were very strange, he glanced at the unfathomable abyss under his feet, and listened to the sound of the wind below, he whispered: "The gods and the dragon race have made an agreement: if one day, when the heads of those evil races they leave behind are enough to fill this abyss, the mission of the dragon race will be completed!" Then, the dragons can live free! No longer bound by this mission! Fill
this abyss with a head ... Du Wei glanced ahead, looking at the black and dark, bottomless below, how many heads must be used!
