Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Jumping off Minas Nir, Imrik arrived directly from a high altitude on a protruding rock wall of the crater, and then gestured to the dragon to let it act alone.

When the Yao Xing Dragon saw Imric jumping down, it flapped its wings, then gathered its wings and rushed towards the boiling magma. After the dragon rushed into the fluid magma at high speed, the huge viscous wave came with its The entry point splashes like a boulder falling into water.

This reminded the Dragon Prince of Filipino divers, but he didn't expect this old guy to have such talent.

Resisting the urge to complain, he looked at the Val Temple.

In the center of the huge volcano is a huge boulder rising from the magma. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is a floating island.

On the floating island, the Vaal Temple was built in the form of a high tower, using solid black rock and standing above the rolling magma in the crater, like a high tower built in a lava hell.

The only way to enter this tower is the narrow suspension bridge in front of Imrik, which is 600 meters long and made of fine steel. It is only two meters wide and can accommodate two people walking side by side. This place is what you want. The first trial to become a priest of Vaal.

When the volcano is active, the Vaal priest will let the tester walk into the Vaal temple alone from the outside. The suffocating sulfur smell will splash onto the lava on the suspension bridge as it rolls. As long as the tester makes a little mistake, then everything will be destroyed. They will be eliminated. The blacksmith church that pursues perfection will not allow such people to join. Once distracted during forging, there will only be a piece of scrap metal.

When the prince wanted to step in, a dozen people entered through the hole protruding from the back of the rock wall, wearing fiery red full-body armor with Val's logo on the armor, holding halberds, carrying big bows, and some With the divine aura, he lowered his head and signaled to Imrik, "Prince."

He nodded to them. These people were the skitarii of the Vaal Church, and were called the Vaal Fire Bearers. What was really deadly about them was not the halberds in their hands, but the big bows.

With Val's blessing, the arrows shot by these people will produce the effect of flame explosions. Each person is a small ballista. Although he is a bit envious of these people's abilities, the Dragon Prince does not want too many religious elements to appear in his court. , so the duty of these people is still to guard the Vaal Temple.

"Guard this place."

"yes."

After finishing speaking, Imrik began to enter this narrow steel suspension bridge, a place he had walked many times.

Before, I needed to cover my mouth and nose with something, and pay attention to the lava that might splash up under my feet, but now I didn’t care. The pungent smell of sulfur was even a bit addictive, and I slowly walked into this suspension bridge, nicknamed the Suspension Bridge. place, the distance of 600 meters was successfully reached in a few minutes.

Seeing the hundred-meter-high black tower in front of him, Imric sighed a little. The reason for the short life of Vaal priests is not only the need to use life force to carve runes, but also the environment here has a great impact, even with Vaal's protection. , but it is difficult for an individual to persist in such a harsh environment all year round.

However, the status of Vaal priests is very high in Caledor, and even the dragon princes have to show respect in front of them. This is some compensation for their great contribution.

This trip was just to see the specific situation, for example, to coordinate the two high priests who were always fighting.

Before I even entered the door, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

"Iqil, you guy, hurry up and light the fire for me."

"Krimond, don't think that the prince asked me to come here to help you. Speak to me."

"You know how to play with fire. Why don't you come and attack us! Secretly learn our superb skills?"

Iqil is the real name of High Priest Ardaeus, and Crimmond is the High Priest of Val. In fact, the relationship between the two was not bad in their early years. In the early years, High Priest Val served as a priest accompanying the army, providing shields for the soldiers.

High Priest Ardaeus was originally a dragon prince, and the two had a long experience of fighting together on the battlefield.

However, since Crimmond joined the Church of Ardaeus, this relationship has become somewhat unclear. When Imrik came before, they often saw them fighting with real swords and guns.

When the attendant at the entrance of the tower saw the prince coming in, he seemed to have met a savior and said, "Prince, please go and persuade the two high priests."

"Lead the way." He covered his forehead. Ever since he crossed over, his inherent impression of Caledo has been broken.

It was okay at first, both of them were reliable and aloof, but after getting familiar with them, I found that these guys let themselves go to a degree that no one could match. The two high priests had been quarreling since they first met, and I couldn't use the authority of the prince. I came here to suppress it, but I could only come and see it every now and then, and it seemed to have some effect.

But in the month he spent at the Wyrmrest Temple, he might have fought more than a dozen games. There were only two people in Caledor who were qualified to break up fights, himself and Randy.

When they arrived at the place where the two were quarreling, they found that Iqir had already picked up the shield and war hammer, and Crimmond also took the battle ax from the attendant. It seemed that they were about to fight again after a disagreement.

"The two of you are quarreling again for some reason." As he spoke, Imrik sighed a little. The two of them were over a thousand years old in total, so why did they act like little brats.

Seeing the Dragon Prince coming in, the two people who originally wanted to take action said a few harsh words to each other before putting down their weapons. The Dragon Palace respects the two temples, but it does not mean that the two temples can ignore the giant. Dragon Palace.

"He won't set fire." This was what the High Priest Val said.

"He cannot use fire." This is what the high priest Ardaeus said.

The two high priests first criticized each other, and while they were scolding each other, Iqil's nose suddenly sniffed, and seemed to find something. He turned to look at Imric, or rather perceived, with an extremely uncertain tone. said.

"Did you solve that problem?"

The Vulcan High Priest who was still arguing with Iqil heard this and turned to look at Imrik. Although he didn't know about the dragon transformation, as the spokesman of the gods, he could clearly sense the dragon. The prince was very different from before, as if a fierce flame was burning in his body.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Imrik motioned them to find a good place first. This time they came to the Vaal Temple to learn about the purity ceremony.

My soul seems to be protected by the cowhide book. Although the phenomenon of dragon transformation occurs, the disadvantages do not appear. Instead, I can understand the ancient covenant with the dragon's cognitive method. However, there are still some things I still don't understand, so let's ask. most.

The two nodded in agreement and did not want to quarrel anymore. The quarrel between the two was a matter of the church. In fact, their personal relationship was good. Otherwise, if conflicts occurred with this frequency, the temple would be demolished by them.
