Arcane Journey

After seeing the appearance of the ghost dragon clearly, Brian secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Because he didn't see the slightest ferocity in those torch-like dragon eyes, but he looked like a knowledgeable and talented scholar, full of indifference and wisdom.

Feeling the other party's eyes locked on him, Brian was sure that it was this golden dragon who was secretly watching him during his battle with Felin Mokui.

However, what puzzled him a little was that he seemed to have annoyed this existence inexplicably. From the slowly rising temperature around him, it could be seen that he seemed to be angry.

"Little mage, you have peeked at the books here, leave here immediately." The ghost of the ancient golden dragon stared down at Brian with those two lantern-sized pupils, and accused, "You shouldn't covet a patient Libraries of the Arcanists of Cyril."

After finishing speaking, he raised his proud head, and the golden soft thorns under his jaw were like beards, setting off his face like a wise saint.

Then, he turned his face away again, waiting patiently for Brian, but he had no intention of driving Brian away.

Brian was a little confused by the golden dragon's words.

He clearly noticed that although the other party no longer paid attention to him, he secretly looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

Obviously, the other party was very interested in him, but he didn't want to bring it up, but wanted to wait for him to bow to him.

As expected of a giant dragon, even if it turns into a ghost, it can't avoid those secondary characters.

Bryan secretly laughed in his heart, and immediately raised his head to meet the hot gaze of the other party, and asked knowingly: "Dare to ask your Excellency..."

"I am the guardian of Glory City, Golden Dragon Paralandasque."

As he said that, a wave of vicissitudes and noble spirits was directly transmitted to Brian's mind, "This place was originally a forbidden area, you have no right to set foot here, let alone read the information here, and the consequence of you doing so is that Are you ready to face the wrath of an ancient dragon?"

"But the owner here has long since fallen. As long as I am willing to turn a blind eye, the rules are nothing to us." The ghost of the ancient golden dragon looked at Brian suspiciously, and his mental fluctuations were obviously full of curiosity and excitement. Puzzled, he pondered for a long time, then stretched out his paws to caress the soft thorns like beards, staring at him with two huge longan eyes and said:

"What makes me curious is what is the flame floating out of your body during the battle with Felin Mokui. If you let me take a closer look, I will not pursue this matter today."

Hearing this, Brian didn't answer right away, but looked thoughtfully at the ghostly dragon that rolled like a pale golden cloud in midair.

Obviously, the other party was referring to his own Austrian fire.

This is his biggest secret besides the traverser and the system, and it is also his reliance as a great arcanist, so he will naturally not reveal it to others easily.

He secretly observed the surrounding environment, and carefully sized up the slightest undetectable dark energy lingering in the mist around the ghost of the ancient golden dragon.

Seeing this, he seemed to understand something.

Therefore, Brian met the golden dragon's desperately suppressed expectant gaze with a calm face, and instead of answering his request, he asked instead, "Your Excellency said that he is the guardian of Guangyao City, Golden Dragon Paralandasque, right? "

"Of course, is there a problem?" Although the golden dragon didn't know the meaning of Brian's inexplicable question, it still rolled over its huge dragon body. The sail-like wings stretched from its shoulders to the end of its tail, allowing him to fly Time to be as clear as swimming in the air.

I saw him approaching the dragon head, his lantern-sized pupils were like two pools of molten gold, "I am a dragon, am I proud?"

"Of course no problem." Brian said, "What puzzles me is that in the city of Neverwinter in the North, there once appeared an ancient golden dragon called the 'Dragon of Radiance', and his name was Paralan Dusk, are you the same person?"

"So you know my identity." Hearing this, Jin Long was taken aback for a moment, then swung his beard and said arrogantly:

"Since you know my name, you must have heard the legend of my 'Dragon of Radiance'. In this case, we are half acquaintances. As long as you are willing to let me observe your flame, I will not pursue you any more. Regarding the matter of breaking into the library, if you are in a good mood, I will even give you a few precious collections, what do you think?"

"What if I don't agree?" Brian asked tentatively.

"If you don't agree, it means that you are ready to bear the wrath of an ancient golden dragon!" The golden dragon said deliberately with a straight face, his expression indifferent and majestic, "I will never, because you used to be my admirer, Just show mercy."

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding temperature rose sharply. Even a person like Brian with good flame resistance could clearly feel the pain of burning skin.

Even so, he was unmoved, but calmly looked at the ghost of the ancient golden dragon in midair, and said his guess, "I'm afraid you don't have the strength, after all, with your current state, I'm afraid even this library Can’t go out, if I want to get everything here, do I still need your permission?”

"Then try it!" The ancient golden dragon said angrily, the pale golden light emitted from the whole body like a solid body, burning like a hot flame.

"Then try it." Bryan said calmly, but he didn't make any movements, he just watched the changes of the golden dragon ghost playfully.

In an instant, the entire library became extremely silent, only the flames around the Golden Dragon seemed to distort the air, burning violently, causing the surrounding temperature to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long silence, finally, the majestic and aggressive Jinlong couldn't hold on any longer, and collapsed like a deflated ball.

He sighed helplessly, gave Bryan a look full of resentment, and muttered with a depressed face, "I knew I couldn't fool you legendary spellcasters, this damn Ellando."

Seeing the defeat of the Golden Dragon Specter, Brian also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he is quite confident in his own judgment, he is still a little worried that this golden dragon with its fangs and claws is really hiding its strength.

Now it seems that his judgment is relatively accurate, so that he can handle it perfectly.

An ancient golden dragon that has lived for thousands of years, even if there is only one soul left, will be of great help to him. After all, the opponent is still a spellcaster whose strength has reached the legendary realm.

Then, he looked at the dejected golden dragon ghost with great interest, and asked curiously: "Check my flames, are you planning to come up with a countermeasure to escape from this place?"

"Otherwise?" Jin Long looked up at him and said angrily:

"The sun and the moon change, time moves, and there must be many interesting things happening in the outside world that I don't know about, but I am bound to this library space and cannot get out. Of course I have to find a way to get out."

"Then how did you get trapped here?" Brian asked calmly.

"It can only be said that I was harmed by my curiosity." The golden dragon lowered its neck decorated with two frills, and tried to put its head as close to Brian as possible, with a pair of molten golden eyes reflecting his figure, telling road:

"My wish is to be an all-knowing polymath. After I digest the books in Neverwinter, I will go to the Ennook Desert, trying to find the lost ruins of Netheril. Then I will Then I met Ellando, the archmage who had fallen into a state of madness after the destruction of the city of Harendas, and turned into an evil shadow creature. He killed me with the help of the remaining power of the floating city ruins and imprisoned my soul in this library."

"So that's how it is." After hearing Jin Long's explanation, Brian roughly understood what he had recorded in the sheet of metal he accidentally discovered, and he asked again:
"Then do you know exactly why the Archmage of Elland fell into a state of madness?"

"Do you even need to think about it?" Jin Long said disdainfully, "He must have committed suicide, just like a guy who performed the Apotheosis Art, because he was too persistent in studying Felin Mokui, he was contaminated with the most chaotic chaos Energy, if I hadn’t been determined and powerful, I’m afraid I would have met the same fate.”

After recalling the words of the ancient golden dragon ghost, Brian gave him a sympathetic look and said, "Then how can I help you out of trouble?"

"Although I am a ghost who has lost my body." Seeing Brian nodding, Jin Long finally heaved a sigh of relief and told him:
"But it was also a blessing in disguise, allowing me to enjoy eternal and immortal life while maintaining my sanity. The most important thing is that I am also a spellcaster whose magical attainments have reached the legendary realm..."

"What I mean is, how can I help you out of trouble, not to ask you to introduce yourself." Brian raised his hand to interrupt the ancient golden dragon's words, and reminded.

"Didn't I just say that?" Jin Long said, "As long as Your Excellency is willing to let me examine your special flame, I may be able to research a way out of the predicament."

Brian glanced at him suspiciously. Although he didn't know what the other party relied on to find a way to get out of trouble when he saw his Austrian fire, he still decided to let this ghost try.

Therefore, he sacrificed his own Austrian fire with blue and white flames, suspended in mid-air, and asked the golden dragon to observe carefully.

"As expected." The ghost of the ancient golden dragon couldn't help exclaiming after seeing the flame:

"This is indeed a flame that represents the essence of magic. I have even seen the prototype of the magic net in the center of the flame. If I expected it to be true, you would never be able to get this kind of representation without the promise of Goddess Mystra. The fire of the essence of magic."

"wrong!"

Staring at the flames, the golden dragon suddenly stretched out its paws and scratched its head, wondering to itself, "Why do I feel a power of flame inside that makes my heart palpitate."

He closed his long eyes, let go of his mind, and opened his eyes after a long time of using mental fluctuations, his face was full of excitement, and the expression of shock was beyond words, "It turned out to be a curse fire, no wonder it scares me, if that's the case, That……"

The ghost of the ancient golden dragon suppressed his excitement, forcibly calmed down, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He stared straight at Brian, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I haven't formally asked for your name, but it doesn't matter. In the next few years, I can To get to know you slowly, to observe the world through you, to acquire new pleasures... oh, no, to acquire new knowledge."

"What do you mean?" Brian was startled and asked suspiciously.

Although he had roughly guessed the hint of the ancient golden dragon, he couldn't help but want to confirm it again.

Because judging from the other party's words, this ancient golden dragon ghost seemed to intend to become his servant, or to live by his side in the form of a soul through some secret method.

Letting an ancient golden dragon be his entourage, even though it is just a giant dragon without flesh, is something Brian dare not think about.

Seeing the change in Brian's expression, the ancient golden dragon who had been trapped here for nearly a thousand years suddenly became nervous, as if he thought that the other party had understood his meaning, and then hesitated whether to agree or not.

This directly made him unable to sit still.

Therefore, the golden dragon stopped circling around and said straight to the point, "As a legendary spellcaster, don't you want to accept the follower of an ancient golden dragon ghost?"

"Although I am just a ghost who has lost my body, I have an eternal and immortal life. The most important thing is that I have been imprisoned for nearly a thousand years. I have carefully studied every book here, and I can even recite it backwards. You have brought great help in the process of researching spells and experiments."

"Of course I would." Brian said truthfully:

"It's just that what puzzles me is, didn't you just say that you are bound in this library and it is impossible to leave, why did you suddenly change your face, saying that you can not only leave, but also be my follower. "

"Your Excellency doesn't know something." The ghost of the ancient golden dragon explained to him helplessly, "The reason why I can't leave is because I have paid so much to get rid of the curse that Ellandor cast on me after turning into a shadow. The price also indirectly prevents me from being exposed to the surface, and I must find a suitable place to live."

"I thought I could get the favor of the goddess of luck and meet the chosen ones of the goddess Mystra, so that I could directly hide my soul in their silver fire and gain a new life in another way."

"I didn't expect to meet you." He said with a slightly excited expression, "I have a hunch that your flame, which contains the power of curse fire, has more growth potential than Goddess Mystra's silver fire." Gao, so, as long as you are willing to let my soul live in the flames, I will volunteer to be your follower and obey any orders you have."

Seeing that Brian was still hesitating, he quickly added, "Believe me, as an ancient golden dragon that has lived for thousands of years, as long as I live in this flame, the power of flame I possess and my understanding of magic Understanding can definitely bring you great help."

After listening to Jin Long's explanation, Brian finally figured it out.

To put it bluntly, this guy has taken a fancy to the potential of his own Austrian fire, and wants to completely integrate with his own Austrian fire by means of soul sojourning.

In this case, the Austrian fire he is proud of is equivalent to an extra layer of artificial intelligence that can be used at will.
