Chapter 1062 Belling's Dream
Belling also revealed to Joan, Hyrule, Audrey and Holden that he had a dream since he was a child, determined to find the legendary dragon "Fafnir" and regain the land that was occupied by this dragon centuries ago. gnome treasure.
In order to realize this dream, Belling first needs to find the cave where the dragon Fafnir hides.
After many inquiries, Belling learned that the most prominent ruling family in Oaknell Dungeon - the Bellamy family - has a treasure map. It is said that as long as the magic seal blessed on the map is cracked, Fafnir's Lair, or even a chance to steal the treasure that the dragon has been guarding every step of the way for centuries.
The dark elves, who are greedy by nature, certainly would not miss the chance to make a fortune.
For many years, the Bellamy family has been trying to decipher this treasure map, but until today, no breakthrough has been made.
Belling went to Oaknell City just to get this legendary treasure map. As for whether he can break the seal on the map, it is not within his consideration for the time being.
With the help of illusion and good luck, the dwarf mage sneaked into the Spider Academy without any risk, and successfully stole the treasure map.
It's a pity that his good luck has its limit after all. When he left the Spider Academy, he accidentally touched the magic alarm and showed his signs, alarming the guards, so he had to escape out of the city overnight.
What happened afterwards, such as Claudia leading a team to kill Belling, Arnold and others were implicated, needless to say, everyone already knows.
"Dear friends, after I decipher the mysteries in the treasure map, how about all of you go treasure hunting with me and share the treasure equally?"
Belling excitedly offered the invitation.
It's a pity that even Hailaer, who has always been unwilling to miss the opportunity to make a fortune, is not very interested in his unreliable treasure hunting plan.
"If the treasure map was so easy to decipher, it would have been taken care of by the drows long ago. How could it be your turn?"
"Taking a step back, even if you got lucky and really cracked the secret of the treasure map, that's just the beginning. Next, you have to go to Fafnir's cave and challenge the beast that is said to have legendary strength. dragon."
"No matter how much I want to get rich, I will never take the risk of angering a legendary dragon. No matter how much gold and silver treasures are, they are not as precious as my own little life!"
Hailar's attitude can represent the position of Joan and Zion's siblings - Belling can continue to dream of treasure hunting, and everyone will not accompany him.
Belling felt sorry for this, but he didn't force it. He opened the storage bag, took out two pounds of magic crystals and distributed them to Joan, Hailar and Zion, and paid off the agreed commission.
Joan and the others were each given half a pound of magic crystals. Seeing that Belling paid the bill so happily, his impression of the dwarf mage improved. At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of his strong financial resources.
"Berlin, you're really generous. Is your family rich?" Hailaer couldn't help asking.
"My father is a gemstone processor, an ordinary craftsman who opened a small shop in Sudri City, so he is not considered a rich man."
"My teacher, Mr. Alves, is very rich, but the old man is very stingy."
Belling curled his lips, complaining about the mentor's stingy style.
"My income is actually earned from treasure hunting. There is a proverb in our dwarf clan, 'If you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years after opening'. It refers to a professional treasure hunter like me."
Belling folded his arms across his chest, his round face overflowing with pride.
"I have discovered several small treasures before, and I made some money, but I always feel that it is not exciting enough or challenging enough."
"Friends, if you want to say that the treasure that is truly rich and incomparable to an enemy, it must first be the cave of Fafnir! Don't you really want to accompany me to get rich?"
"Look at you, here we go again!"
Audrey interrupted him and stood up.
"Stop talking about these frivolous things. It's getting late. Let me arrange a round of vigil. Those who are not on duty can go back to the tent to rest."
"Ms. Paladin, we are all spell casters. A bad rest will affect the preparation of spells tomorrow. Everyone go back to sleep. Leave the vigil to me."
Belling said with a smile.
"Are you watching the night alone?" Audrey hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "This is not good, you also need to rest fully before you can prepare spells."
In fact, she didn't have the nerve to say it directly, and she was worried that this little dwarf with a criminal record of theft would keep watch alone. What if everyone's luggage was taken away?
"Why do we need to watch the night in person? Use magic to create a loyal hound, and let the hound watch for us all night long."
Belling opened the waist bag specially used to store spell-casting materials, and skillfully rummaged through a pile of weird odds and ends. He first took out a ball of thread, then a bone, and finally a small silver whistle.
Belling placed all these things under his feet, and then began to cast spells.
"Carir!"
When he finally uttered a mantra symbolizing "creation", the ground under his feet burst into magical light.
The balls of thread, bones and silver whistle placed on the ground were swallowed by the light, fused with magic power, and finally turned into a looming "Phantom Hound", docilely guarding Belling's feet.
This tall and strong phantom hound stood almost as tall as its dwarf owner. Its dark coat blended with the night, sometimes clear and sometimes hazy, giving people an unreal feeling.
"What kind of spell is this?"
Holden asked Joan in a low voice.
"It looks like a 4th-level spell from the School of Conjuration, 'Mage's Faithful Dog'."
While observing the phantom hound opposite, Joan explained the effect of this spell to Holden.
"The phantom hound created by magic can guard an area designated by the caster all night. It doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep, and is very alert. It can also see through illusions such as invisibility. Even spirit creatures cannot escape his eyes and ears. Great for a night watch."
"Mr. Vader is right. With this loyal dog guarding the camp for us, everyone can sleep peacefully."
Belling stroked the smooth back of the Phantom Hound with a proud face.
Joan was very curious about the life form of the Phantom Hound, and wanted to know whether this creature had an entity, so he walked over to Bellin and asked:
"May I pet the hound?"
"No problem, feel free to touch, this guy is very good."
Belling smiled generously.
Joan walked up to the Phantom Hound and tried to stroke its forehead.
The feeling from the fingertips was quite different from the fluffy and warm touch when stroking an ordinary hound. It was smooth and cool, like stroking half-melted grease.
