One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 158 Dragon Nest

"Here we are!"

Wilmes flapped his wings and landed slowly on the top of a mountain.

Through the bright moonlight above, one can vaguely see behind a huge rock on the top of the mountain, there is an entrance just big enough to accommodate creatures of the size of a red dragon.

However, due to the dense vegetation around it, it is quite well hidden, and it is almost difficult to find it with the naked eye.

If there is no "leading party", it may be quite difficult for outsiders to find such a place.

After all, this mountain is just one of the surrounding mountains and hills that stretch for hundreds of kilometers.

And there are no so-called "mountain roads" around. At a glance, they are all scalp-numbing cliffs and cliffs.

If you lack the ability to fly, it will take a lot of effort just to climb up.

If you accidentally climbed to the middle of the mountain and fell down, you may be directly smashed into meatloaf.

Zuo Si turned over and jumped off the dragon's back, walked straight to the entrance near the entrance to look inside, and asked without looking back, "Are there any traps or monsters in Bell Torgas' lair?"

"I don't know. This guy never allowed me to enter the lair. But I do know that he has a large group of kobold slaves as his servants. In addition, there is a very rich mineral deposit under this mountain."

Wilmes bluntly stated all the information he had.

Because after going through this crisis, the red dragon has realized that Zuo Si is the only master who can limit the strange things in his mind.

If something happened to him, he might not be able to escape the final fate of having his brain eaten, so he didn't dare to hide any information at all.

"Kobolds? Mineral veins? In this way, this lair still has a certain value of retention and possession?"

Zuo Si rubbed her chin with a thoughtful expression.

Undoubtedly, the Toril planet where Faerun Continent is located is a world extremely rich in resources.

Especially all kinds of magic metals, precious metals, and gems are all spellcasting materials that spellcasters need to collect in large quantities.

And mining in this land full of supernatural forces requires more than just beasts and monsters.

Then there are the druids who swear to protect nature, the elves who call the forest their home, the spooky creatures and gods of nature.

Therefore, a mineral lode that has not been discovered by the outside world and can be mined in large quantities is definitely of great value.

Wilmes also came to the entrance, shook his huge head and replied: "That's right! I have actually decided to move the lair here from the vicinity of Myratma after the limelight has passed in a few days.

Compared with my original lair, this place is obviously safer and more hidden.

At the same time, it can overlook the trade road leading to Zhazesibo.

Since it is very close to the Xingxuan Mountains, even if I rob one or two caravans occasionally, no one will suspect me. "

Obviously, as the current capital of the Kingdom of Tethyr, Zazespor is much richer than Mailatma.

Coupled with the fact that the surrounding area of ​​Mairatma has only been robbed, it is impossible to restore prosperity in a short period of time.

At this time, as an evil and greedy red dragon, it is completely normal to change places to rob.

"Moving? Don't be stupid! You will always be with me in the future, and you don't need a lair at all. When I settle down to build the mage tower, I will reserve a large enough underground cave for you alone."

Zuo Si undoubtedly saw through the other party's thoughts, and straightforwardly wiped out Wilmes' delusion in the bud.

With the lessons learned last time, he will never allow the red dragon and strange objects to leave his sight.

Otherwise, God knows what big disturbance this pair will make.

Through the conversation on the road just now, Zuo Si has almost understood that although the strange object seems to have a very good level of intelligence, it actually does not have a strong "self-awareness".

All of its behaviors and thinking are based on simulating the surrounding creatures that it can touch.

Simply put, it is like an assisted artificial intelligence with autonomous decision-making ability.

Because of this, it is extremely dangerous and easy to lose control.

the reason is simple!

As long as the strange thing thinks that doing a certain thing is beneficial to its owner, it will do it without hesitation, without considering the possible serious consequences.

So Zuo Si thinks that he should take him with him and teach him for a period of time until he grows up to be sensible and mature enough.

In this way, Qiwu's powerful psychic powers and ruthless calculations, combined with the power of the red dragon, is definitely a good helper who can give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment.

"Then what about my treasure?" Wilmes asked with a vigilant expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not greedy for your poor treasures. You can transfer them here first, and then move them to your own cave after the mage tower is completed."

After saying this, Zuo Si raised his finger and pointed to the entrance of the black hole, signaling the red dragon to go ahead.

In this way, one person and one dragon walked into the dark cave along the excavated steps.

As expected, Bell Torgas set quite a few traps along the way.

After more than half of them are activated, what they spray is magma and flames.

If it was replaced by an ordinary adventure team, I am afraid that even if they survived, they would be extremely embarrassed.

But this time the intruder was also a red dragon immune to fire damage, so it had no effect at all.

Wilmes didn't even bother to dodge, he flapped his wings directly to push aside the magma, flames and stones rolling down from his head, opening up an absolutely safe path for Zuo Si behind him.

After walking in the dark for about ten minutes, it is estimated that it has almost reached the lower part of the center of the mountain, and a huge natural cave suddenly appeared in front of it.

Inside the cave, one can suddenly see a hill shining with golden and silver light.

Needless to ask, these are all coins minted in precious metals, and there are trade bars used in commodity exchanges.

In addition, there are jewels, jewelry, handicrafts, armors, weapons piled on top of mountains of gold and silver...

Several of them exude bright and dazzling arcane aura, obviously magic items.

Of course, near the huge pile of treasures, there are many small creatures with reptile-like heads and scales, concentrating on taking care of this huge underground cave.

They are kobolds.

An omnivore with dragon bloodlines.

Compared with goblins who can only rob and destroy, kobolds are obviously more organized and disciplined. They like to hide in the ground and dig holes constantly. They feed on grazing, hunting small animals, and cultivating moss and fungi. .

Due to their timid nature, they rarely initiate attacks on villages and cities inhabited by humans.

Most kobolds are more than happy to serve a powerful dragon in exchange for its protection.

At this very moment, these small things over one meter in length are using a furnace that constantly sprays out high-temperature flames to continuously throw ore into it and smelt it into boiling hot molten iron.

Then it is poured into a mold to cool, and it becomes a piece of metal ingot.

This gigantic furnace does not use any fuel, but rather hot magma that gushes from the depths of the mountains.

Apparently, since there is a mature red dragon who has settled here for a long time, even the mountain peaks are inevitably affected by the fire element, gradually transforming towards an active volcano.

The space on the right side of the entire cave is densely packed with large pieces of thick iron ingots, as well as a small number of copper ingots, silver ingots, gold ingots, mithril ingots and adamantine ingots.

Such a spectacular scene made Zuo Si couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "Unbelievable! There is not only a mine lode, but also a natural melting furnace. However, Bell Torgas is planning to sell so many rough iron ingots. For whom?"

"Whoever he sells to, it's ours now."

Wilmes didn't hide his bandit face, and directly rushed to those kobolds, unscrupulously releasing "Dragon Might" to his heart's content.

moment!

All the kobolds working there were terrified.

A few unlucky ones who were throwing ore into the furnace even fell directly into the hot molten iron, screaming and turning into ashes.

About two or three seconds later, all the kobolds curled up in a ball and knelt on the ground trembling.

Probably due to serving Bell Torgas for a long time, when they saw another red dragon, they didn't even have the slightest thought of rebellion.

A tall and strong kobold with dragon-like wings, walked straight up to Wilmes, prostrated himself on the ground in an extremely humble posture, and began to speak in a dragon language like a "barking" dog. Try to communicate with this powerful and terrifying invader.
