“Adam, we are getting close,”
Adam gave a nod to master Ironhand.
They were travelling through this abandoned tunnel for a while now. Other than him, Alex and Mr Thomas, six other master blacksmiths were travelling with them.
Even though others wanted to come with them, master Ironhand suggested it was best to keep the group as small as possible. Even Adam felt it was for the best because no one in his group has seen the actual situation inside this high pass mountain.
Even for him, the knowledge about high pass Mountain came from stories. And even these dwarfs who had been living so close to the high pass mountains didn’t have a proper idea why stronger beasts didn’t come out from there.
Adam felt amazed by the sight in front of him.They were coming through a small cave that opened to the outside.Everywhere was full of trees, like any other forest. However, the problem was every one of these trees was extremely large. And there were many birds and other small animals?They also had a problem. None of them were considerably small. Everything was bigger than the normal size he had seen, and most of these animals were unknown to him. He saw a large herd of great deer in the near vicinity. However, other than looking at them with curiosity, there were no other reactions from these animals.Most of them looked at them as strangers to their natural grounds. The only reason that he was still feeling safe was the strength of these creat
“We have to open it,” Adam made his decision.He couldn’t feel anyone in the surrounding. Even if he was unable to detect anything, there were enough master blacksmiths around him. What he was interested in was the reason to bring such powerful protection to this place.Adam thought for a while before coming to such a decision. Even though he felt worried, thinking there might be something dangerous sealed inside, he felt the chances were minimal. Even he could not cast such a powerful spell. And if someone had such a power, this place would be the last place to seal a powerful enemy, right?Adam didn’t have to rack his brain thinking about this. This place was not that hidden. And if they could use divine power to this extent, then an enemy they couldn’t deal with sho
Adam had one thought left.If he survived this, he didn’t want to be in the presence of a dragon again. However, his primal side was screaming, warning him about the inevitable danger. He felt the sweat dripping from his head, mixed with blood and dirt. His legs were about to give up.Adam tried his best to calm himself before another ball of fire landed on them. He understood this was the worst time. He was never this afraid. Adam knew the dragon was strong. The strongest power he knew was the Empress, and this creature had an immeasurable strength above her. Even if it was like that, he should be making a plan to deal with it.However, his mind is hazy, and his primal side was making him lose his rationality. Whatever the power he just absorbed was making him lose control.
This was the first time Adam saw a dragon.Even when he saw it up in the sky, the sun blocked his vision. As he expected, the Dragon was around a hundred feet long from its head to tail. It had large bat-like wings, which it kept folded into its body. This dragon had red scales that reminded him of Fire. More accurately, this dragon symbolised the figure of the Dragon on the symbol of the Crimson Empire.It had front legs that were more similar to arms. They had five fingers with long claws. Adam realised even if this dragon was currently looking at him standing on its all four legs, these front legs could properly grab and hold anything.Its back legs looked strong, and it also had five fingers. Adam felt this dragon could easily stand on its back legs without any hindrance. He realised unknowingl
Adam made his way back through the dark, looking for his companions.He could hear their steps and even their breathing. He knew his primal side was still trying to come out, and his enhanced senses were obvious signs of his wolf blood.Adam felt relieved looking at the trail of spilt wine they left behind. These old men carried bottles of wine and beer in their backpacks, and with the impact, they have broken several of them. However, there was only a negligible amount of blood along the way. And that made him understand they were not badly hurt.Even though he didn’t have any source of light with him, it was not hard for him to make his way through the darkness. His intuition was accurate enough to tell him where the next step was.However
“Wow,”Adam expected the vault to have books and other records.However, just like Alex, the content inside the vault amazed him too.The Vault was much bigger than he thought. It was as long as the hall they just passed, and there were a lot of things from weapons and pieces of equipment to books and various crates that contained forging materials. There were other valuable metals and even enchantments. Adam felt they had entered the treasury of the ancient dwarves.The master blacksmiths were already going from one item to another as if they were in a daze. And he knew none of them was in a mood to look for a dragon egg. And even he failed to find any obvious signs of a dragon egg. He wondered about the size of this thing.
Adam felt his head aching.Until today, he thought, the Gods were the most powerful beings.And now he learned the Gods feared Dragons. And the start of the next lines was enough to make him realise that he was in a bigger mess. The letter written by Omega wolf born was focused on the fate of the Church of Shadows. And he had a feeling of being cornered. Adam wiped the sweat off his forehead before continuing....“The reason for the fall of the Church of Shadows was not only the disappearance of the Wolf God. It was because the other Churches started waging war against us. We thought they wanted to take our resources, but they wanted to annihilate us. And only from the Church of the Dawn we got to know it was a command of the Gods.
Adam got up from the floor with a confused mind.He knew about the southern continent and its troublesome environment from before.There were records in the Shadow sanctuary. And the Church of the Dawn also knew this continent.What he was unable to comprehend was the genuineness of this letter. Even though he felt that Omega Wolfborn must have carried out his duty as the archbishop of the Church of Shadows, he doubted the reason to leave this letter here. Besides, the direct clue to the Dragon egg was too unsettling.If the letter was a trap for an enemy, then they should be trying to hide the dragon egg more. Because then the Dragons would not be happy to see someone coming out of this place without their egg.Latest Chapter
