"If I die here, then the Shadow Dragons will be erased from the Dragons lineage."
Merlinsera's expression darkened. The joy of escaping death faded away after hearing those words. But after venting out the resentment that she had accumulated for a long time, she felt a lot more relaxed …
Roddy didn't notice the change in Merlinsera's attitude because he was completely stunned by her words. Even the Dragons could be massacred? This was beyond common sense.
Could it be that Merlinsera had some kind of treasure that the Dragons would be so ruthless to her?
"… I escaped from the lair alone, and then I was constantly being hunted down. You must have seen it last time in the Silent Forest. There was no end to them until a few days ago, when I killed another one in the mountains to the south …
"… When I saw the glacial plains, I remembered a book I once read. It said that there was a powerful treasure here. I felt that this might be my only hope. If it wasn't for the fact that I had no other choice, I wouldn't have taken such a risk."
After calming down, Merlinsera realized that her previous mentality was actually very extreme. Her extreme desire for the "treasure" had made her lose her mind. Now that she thought about it, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Sigh … Who knew that I would almost lose my life instead of finding the treasure."
Rody seriously played the role of a 'listener'. He then asked, "So, your inability to use magic is also related to this?"
"I was going to keep this a secret for the rest of my life, but now … there's nothing to hide." Merlinsera unconsciously patted her chest as she looked up at the ceiling with a dejected expression. "I lost my connection with the dragon crystal when I opened the entrance outside, so I can't use any spells now. I can't even revert to my true form."
She stroked her long hair and said softly, "In other words, I won't be able to live for long after I get out of here."
"As long as I still have the aura of the Dragons on me, they will definitely come after me."
This feeling was terrible. It was like waiting for death after being cursed by the "Doomsday Curse". Merlinsera looked calm, but in fact, she was in despair.
Roddy frowned slightly.
This kind of matter was up to the heavens, and it had nothing to do with him. However, when he saw the disheartened and beautiful figure, he paused for a moment. In the end, he still decided to speak his mind, "My strength is weak, and I might not be able to help you much. However … there is something that you might have forgotten to consider."
"Hmm?"
"Blindly running for your life or fighting head-on is actually a bad plan."
Merlinsera closed her eyes and sighed. "What else can I do?"
"Robbers rob for money. The peasants are rebelling for power … If we can't defeat the bandits or the rebel army, I think it's better to throw away our money and power and temporarily get out of danger. "
"You mean … you want me to learn from those despicable human nobles?"
Speaking of which, the arrogant Dragons were much more moral than humans. In the eyes of the Dragons, the human nobles were actually very laughable. On the one hand, they talked about the Eight Cardinal Virtues and stood on the moral high ground in everything they did. On the other hand, they shamelessly did despicable things and trampled on the moral standards.
Everything the human nobles did was related to their own interests. Even if they were beaten to a pulp by the orcs, they would still shamelessly use gold coins and resources to sue for peace. The phrase "despicable human nobles" was actually true. However, Roddy, who had just become a baron, was also implicated because of this.
"This world has never been fair, right? Dragons have their own way of living, and ants have their own way of living. " Roddy smiled. He didn't think that Merlinsera was being sarcastic. After all, it was normal for people who lived in two different worlds to have different values.
He continued calmly, "I don't have dragon scales, and I don't know magic. Even if I worked hard for my entire life, I wouldn't be as strong as you were when you were ten years old. However, if I were to be hunted down by an enemy, I would do anything to survive … because the longer I live, the more hope I have."
"But this isn't to prolong my life. It's so that one day, I can take back what I've lost."
Roddy's words were very calm. Merlinsera didn't have much of a reaction after listening to him. However, her gaze was obviously a little absent-minded. After losing the connection with the Dragon Crystal, she was already no different from the "ant" he had mentioned. If he chose to face the problem in another way …
Was there really hope for revenge?
Seeing that the Shadow Dragon was deep in thought, Roddy didn't say anything else. As a "friend" recognized by the Dragons, this was all he could do. The most important thing for him now was to figure out what he should do next.
The mission of "Berantulu must die" was not completed because the demigod was only completely sealed by the enhanced magic circle. It was not even close to "death".
"It seems like this mission can't be completed."
A Legendary-level mission was not so easy to complete. Roddy didn't have much hope before, but now he had no regrets. From a player's point of view, this kind of high-level mission that allowed him to jump more than 30 levels was actually of little value. It looked tempting, but there was nothing he could do.
He sighed and closed the "Mission Panel". Then, he opened the "Character Status Panel" again. Only then did he realize that the death of the snow monsters in the three Instance Dungeons actually counted as a portion of EXP. Although each of them only gave him 10 to 100 points, the accumulated EXP was shocking. Even though he had just leveled up, the remaining EXP was still enough for him to level up one "Advanced Level" and one "Basic Level"!
Without any hesitation, Roddy immediately allocated the EXP to the "Witcher" advanced profession. As the light flashed, notifications of increased attributes and new skills flashed past, but Roddy didn't feel any excitement at all. There was a Level 67 Dragons sitting beside him, and he was almost killed by a Level 85 + demigod just now. Compared to these guys, the words "Advanced Level 11" in front of him was really trash.
However, Roddy also knew that all of this was just a product of coincidence. The real thing he had to deal with was the Orc Language Undead, not the illusory orphan of the Dragons or the immortal demigod.
With a sigh of self-consolation, he opened the Skill Panel and looked at the new skills.
"Life Domination"
Consumption: All Stamina
Instant Cast
Use: The HP of the character and the Magic Pet can be swapped. Cannot be used when the Magic Pet dies.
Cooldown Time: 24 hours.
Note: The user will suffer severe side effects.
This skill was very familiar to Roddy. Then, he remembered that the "Warlock" branch of the "Demon Magic" in the game had a similar skill called "Contract: Life Conversion". The effect was to switch the HP of the user and the demon pet. However, the skill needed to be cast continuously for three seconds, and all potions and healing skills would be ineffective for five minutes after the conversion.
Every skill that seemed like a bug came with a heavy price. Most of the skills of the "Warlock" class were stronger than the skills of the other professions, but that was not the case in actual combat. Often, a Warlock would have the upper hand from the beginning to the end, but in the end, they would be tortured to death by the side effects of the skills …
What about this skill?
Roddy stared blankly at the words "Severe side effects" for a while. Then, he closed the interface. He didn't bring the Nokia or the Keda Duck here, so he would try it when he got back.
After adding the Talent Points, Roddy turned around and saw that Merlinsela was deep in thought with her head down and her hands on her chest, so he didn't disturb her. He opened the "Map Bar" and wanted to go outside the palace to find Akasha and the others, but he stepped on a stone fragment after taking two steps. Just as he was about to leave, Roddy glanced at it casually and suddenly froze …
This was the stone platform that used to seal Bertulu. Previously, Roddy thought that the carvings on it were all magic patterns, but now he realized that they were scattered High Elves words. He tried to spell it out for a long time and finally managed to read out the words that he could recognize.
"… Soul Immortal …"
"… Physical body … But, but what?"
He looked around and found another larger fragment from the pile of bodies of the snow monsters. "… The Elements will tell —"
Merlinsela's voice suddenly came over. "The Elements will tell you everything."
Roddy raised his eyebrows. "This sentence …"
"It's exactly the same as the one carved on the stone tablet outside." Merlinsela rubbed her forehead and actually smiled peacefully. "Ha, the entire city was built to seal this guy. Although I don't like the High Elves, I have to admit that … Solomon's elemental magic is far better than mine. He forcefully sealed a demigod and killed all the snow monsters. His skills are truly amazing. "
Seeing her calm expression, Roddy knew that his persuasion had no effect. Well, he was just a mortal. He wasn't strong enough to influence a Dragons to give up on their principles.
"Thank you, Roddy."
Merlinsela seemed to have made a decision. Her tone suddenly became solemn. "I will protect you until you leave the Deathword Ravine. As for the future … let's leave it to fate."
"May the Dragon God bless you, human."
When the time came to an end, Rody sighed and solemnly bowed back. After that, the two of them no longer said anything and walked out of the palace.
In order to alleviate the heavy atmosphere, Roddy said casually, "Solomon should be an Ice Magician, right? Anyway, I've never seen so many icicles appear out of thin air. "
"Some Dragons can do it, but I really don't know how many can do it just based on magic arrays." Merlinsela was also avoiding certain emotions. At this moment, she felt a rare sense of peace and relaxation in her heart. She also spoke more casually. "In the past, I might have stopped to observe the flow of the elements in the air, but now … I can't feel it at all."
"Oh, can you see the flow of the elements directly?"
Roddy had recently studied the "crystal embedding" technique, but it was obvious that it was still far from the elemental theory that Mages were familiar with. Naturally, he was curious about the theory of "observing the elements".
"Human Mages resonate with the energy of this world through meditation. They use their bodies as a container to store magic power, sense the elements and other forces, and finally control them …" Merlinsela was indeed a Mage. She clearly summarized the nature of Mages in one sentence. "Dragons are different. Because of the Dragon Crystal in their bodies, I was born with the perception of a human Magician. I can directly observe the flow of the elements in the air."
Roddy was a little ignorant in this area, but he knew that "Magician" was the title for Mages above level 30. He sighed inwardly. The existence of Dragons was like a bug.
Then, he suddenly thought of something. Does my "Witcher's Vision" have a similar effect?
