"boom"

Deep in the Forbidden Forest, a dull thumping sound suddenly came out, startling a large number of birds.

"Dragon's Nest?"

Haierbo casually pushed aside the fragments of the thick stone door that had been blasted by his punch, took a look into the deep and dark huge cave, and immediately realized that this should be the lair of an ancient dragon.

In the era when he was born, dragons were not a completely extinct creature. Even if it was only occasionally, there would still be a chance to witness this huge magical creature in the skies above some deep mountains and old forests.

It's just that the dragons are endowed with top-notch talents and extremely long lifespans, so they don't have much interest in everything in the world. So much so that they spend most of their time in a deep sleep, even in Haierbo.

In that era of life, it was difficult for ordinary people to see their figures that covered the sky and the sun.

Now, when Haierbo realized that this place was most likely a dragon's lair, he was quite surprised.

Because to be honest, even if he now fully controls this powerful body that was taken from the devil, he never dares to say that he will definitely be able to defeat a giant dragon that most likely has "wake up energy".

You know, in ancient times, there were countless wizards who went to slay dragons in order to obtain huge wealth, and there were many well-known strong men among them. Not to mention that there were only a few people who succeeded, and even those who went there came back alive.

Warriors are often only a handful and are respected by others.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the deeds of the city that were attacked by giant dragons but only three people protected the city were praised as legends in the world and were preserved as murals.

Yes, that was one of the series of murals that Maca saw in the tomb of Herbo's Tomb.

However, the breath of the Devouring Mirror left here kept urging Haierbo to step into the dragon's nest. In order to find the mirror that belonged to him, he ended up with the one that was sealed in Maka's hands.

To find the treasure, he had to break through it once.

"But...since that little guy McClain has hidden his things here, doesn't that mean...it's very likely that this place is an empty nest?"

Having said that, compared to Maka, who only has a partial understanding of terrifying existences such as "dragons", Haierbo, who truly understands its power, is obviously far more knowledgeable than Maka, who first saw this cave.

Much more cautious.

Even though his mind was already full of thoughts of recapturing the Devouring Mirror, Haierbo still carefully sensed it at the entrance of the cave for a long time. Because he knew that after the dragon completely fell into a deep sleep, the originally astonishingly strong magic power fluctuations would be reduced to a minimum.

, if you are not careful, you may not notice its existence.

After careful confirmation, Haierbo gently stepped into the cave and walked silently deeper into the cave step by step.

Of course, this kind of tiptoeing is like a thief's behavior, but in fact it is just a manifestation of Haierbo's excessive caution. Because the sleeping dragon is undoubtedly difficult to wake up.

If there really is a dragon sleeping in this lair, compared with the slightest sound of footsteps, the unconcealed demonic aura on Haierbo's body is more likely to wake it up.

But soon, when Haierbo saw the huge gray-white tailbone that gradually came into view in the darkness, he was finally convinced that there was no living dragon in this huge mountain cave.

All that is left sleeping here is a huge dragon skeleton.

"Qiang"

Haierbo stretched out his black-nailed finger and flicked it on the keel, which immediately made a crisp sound like metal clashing.

Even though the dragon has been dead for who knows how many years, the bones it left behind are still as hard as ever. With Haierbo's knock just now, an ordinary stone would have been shattered in an instant, but only the bones left on the dragon's bones were

Minor scratches.

"Tsk, what a pity"

The majestic magic power in the bones has long since dissipated with the natural placement of the dragon after its death. To the wizard, it is just a specimen that is somewhat harder than steel.

Shaking his head slightly, Haierbo was no longer interested in the dragon's remains and quickly walked around in the darkness.

However, apart from a stone formation of unknown function, countless centaur skeletons, and a large area of ​​flat ground with clearly carved magic circles, he found nothing else.

"Helbo, are you looking for that mirror?"

"Yeah...McLean, where did you hide it again?"

In this pitch-black abandoned dragon's nest, although the first sentence was extremely abrupt, Haierbo's response also seemed equally sudden.

It was as if the two people who were suddenly talking to each other knew each other's existence from the beginning.

However, neither side seemed to care about this.

"Since you said you were 'hidden' by me, do you think I might tell you?" Maka's voice came out of nowhere, "By the way, Haierbo! Let me ask you a question first.

You forced me out of the town through all kinds of tricks, was it just to lure me here?"

"'Luring you here'?" Haierbo stood there casually, chuckled and shook his head, "No, no, no, how is that possible... It was obviously you who brought me here, wasn't it?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly spread his hands and said as if to show something:

"Look! This remaining aura of the Devouring Mirror, do you dare to say that you didn't leave it behind on purpose?"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, I can admit it. Yes, I did lead you here on purpose. If you have to say it... is it just following the trend?"

Before he finished speaking, Maka, who had been hiding in the darkness, suddenly appeared at one end of Haierbo's field of vision and looked towards him from a distance.

"If you hadn't used that owl to try to provoke me, even if I did make a lot of preparations here, this dragon's lair would just be a slightly clumsy trap, and it would be difficult for a smart person like you to fall for it."

At this point, Maka spread her hands and said calmly:

"So I have to say that at least half of it is a coincidence that we can meet here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haierbo clapped his hands gently, and he could be heard saying slowly:

"That's it, that's it... I've said it before, you are a true wizard that is extremely rare in this era. If you didn't have this bit of wisdom, you wouldn't have brought so many obstacles to me."

"Then the troubles you brought me are not 'obstacles'?"

Maka frowned slightly and looked directly at Haierbo through the darkness.

"Seriously, if you want to pursue what you think is the truth, and if you want to break through your own limits and touch the third-level rule runes, you can do anything like this. As long as you don't cause so much chaos to the world, who will be willing to spend the money?

So much force blocking your way? What do you think?"
