Chapter 450 Golden Dragon: Is she really a genius?
The huge wall made of gold is about ten meters high and stretches across the deepest part of the underground palace.

Under Yeats's gaze, the lifelike mural of a giant dragon on the wall emitted a white light accompanied by spatial fluctuations, enveloping Grey's figure.

hum-

The mural seemed to come alive; the patterns on it changed rapidly, and the still picture instantly turned into a three-dimensional image.

"Yezhi, that looks like Gray!"

The squirrel stood on Yeats's shoulder and pointed his finger.

Ye Zhi looked in the direction he was looking, and sure enough, in the corner of the mural, he saw a figure that looked like Gray. The figure was only a finger tall, and compared to the golden dragon that occupied a large area of ​​the mural, it looked very small. The figure was obviously moving, step by step, approaching the golden dragon in the center of the mural.

“Through this mural, you can clearly see the trial process.”

The golden dragon lowered its head and tickled its huge and sharp dragon claws, saying nonchalantly:

"Even if she is a Dragonborn, I estimate that she will have to wait at least two or three days to see the results... Now, let's go back and play a few rounds of mahjong, how about it?"

At the mention of playing cards, the golden dragon perked up, and the light in his eyes became much clearer.

Ye Zhi declined, saying, "I have to stay here and watch the entire trial process. Please do as you please, Excellency."

Real-time observation can be carried out through the murals. If Grey encounters an accident during the trial, Yeats can provide help from the outside world in the first time.

"Just one handful, okay?"

Huang Jinlong still didn't give up. He lowered his head on the floor and grinned ingratiatingly.

"Let's just play it. No matter we win or lose, it's over in one go!"

Playing cards with this gambling dragon, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish this round until tomorrow morning.

Huang Jinlong saw that Ye Zhi was determined and uninterested. He lay listlessly beside the mural, staring at it with Ye Zhi, and said lazily:

"If you ask me, she is indeed a dragon descendant, but the trial of the Golden Dragon King is not so easy to pass."

"That's why I have to watch over you."

"What's the fun of just watching? Let's make another bet." Huang Jinlong licked the corner of his mouth, "Let's bet on how long it will take her to pass!"

Ye Zhi turned his head and looked at the golden dragon with glowing eyes, thinking that it really got excited when it came to gambling.

The Golden Dragon originally wanted to bet with Ye Zhi on whether Grey could pass the trial, but considering that she was a dragon after all, the probability of passing the trial was still very high, so he changed the content of the bet to time.

"I bet three months—"

The golden dragon squinted at Ye Zhi and said, "If she can come out within three months, even if I lose, you can still pick another treasure from this palace! Do you dare?"

Ye Zhi laughed and said, "What if I lose?"

The dragon rolled his eyes and grinned, "If you lose, you will stay here and be my poker partner for three months. How about it?"

"Okay." Ye Zhi agreed straightforwardly, "But if I win, I don't want the treasures in this palace..."

"Then what do you want?"

"want you."

"Want me?"

The golden dragon had a strange expression on his face, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Ye Zhi said: "What I want is the scales on your body, and they must be dragon scales that contain the original power."

Although the golden dragon in front of her is not a purebred dragon, the scales on its body are also suitable materials for potions for Gray. After Gray passes the trial, they can be used for her further improvement.

There are only gamblers in the world who are focused on making their money back and are never afraid of losing.

The golden dragon glared at Ye Zhi with disdain, and two streams of air came out of his nostrils:

"Okay, I'll bet you!"

In the mural.

Time and space magic forms a unique trial space.

Gray was walking alone in the deserted wilderness. Looking around, all she could see was the scarred earth. Black smoke was billowing out of the broken gullies, magma was flowing in the cracked riverbed, and it was raining fire from the sky, with flames splashing and crackling.

"This is the eighth-ring spell, the Lake of Sulfur and Fire."

The fish of wisdom, Fetan, released seven rainbow lights, covering Gray, and explained slowly:
"To put it simply, it is the fire of God. The earliest mention of the fire of God in the scriptures was when God rained sulfur and fire on Sodom, Gomorrah and two other cities, turning them into ashes."

"What did these two cities do wrong? Why should they be destroyed?" Gray couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that it is because these two cities are so sinful, but there is another theory."

"What statement?"

"God was afraid of the power of mortals, so he sent down thunder to destroy the towering Tower of Babel." Fetan paused for a moment, "And the power and wisdom of dragons are even greater than humans..."

Gray widened her eyes slightly, standing on the hill, looking far ahead——

A majestic city burning in a sea of ​​fire stretched for tens of thousands of miles in the mountains. Thousands of giant dragons roared and howled in the flames. The resentment that soared into the sky and the fire that was like the wrath of God shocked Gray and she was stunned.

Fei Tan said quietly: "Sodom is the city of dragons, and the Golden Dragon King 'Odawili' is the king of the Dragon Empire."

Above the sky where fire rain was falling, dragons and angels were fighting, like two storms colliding with each other.

boom--

The most eye-catching thing was an extremely huge golden dragon with wings spread out that covered the sky and the sun. It was fighting with a Seraphim with twelve burning wings. The battle was fierce, and the mountains, lakes, and the earth were shaken.

The same scene was reflected in the outside world and in Yeats's eyes.

He couldn't help but ask the golden dragon beside him.

"Could it be that God was afraid of the power of the giant dragons of Sodom, so he took the lead in sending down divine fire to destroy them?"

The golden dragon seemed to be attracted by the changing scenes in the murals. His eyes flickered continuously. After a while, he sighed and replied in a vague way:

"The Dwarf Kingdom also suffered the same fate as Sodom. Perhaps this is why the Golden Dragon King chose to leave his legacy in the Dwarf Kingdom." Sah——

The fire is burning fiercely.

The Seraph held the burning sword and said in a deep voice:
"Golden Dragon King, Ao Daweili, you are disrespectful to the gods and you deserve to be killed!"

The giant golden dragon flapped its wings that blocked out the sun and roared to the sky.

"I am the king in charge of the Dragon Clan. It is not your turn as a bunch of birdmen to interfere!"

The aftermath of the battle forced Grey to muster all her strength to resist.

Seeing Sodom being destroyed in the sea of ​​fire, Gray's heart skipped a beat.

This was the home of the giant dragon, but it was ruthlessly destroyed by the messenger from heaven. Before Gray's eyes, she seemed to see the thriving Morning Frost Ridge and the dragon country bathed in the spring breeze in the cold mountains. She immediately clenched her teeth.

Gray said, "Fetan, I want to help!"

Fei Tan said: "No, even if it is an illusion, this is already a seven-ring level battle. You are not strong enough to interfere."

Immediately, Feitan analyzed:

"The key to passing the trial should be to save Sodom... For example, helping the Golden Dragon King defeat the Seraph!"

"But we are not strong enough." Fei Tan spoke faster as he became anxious. He sighed and said, "We have to think of another way!"

Glancing at the Seraph and the Golden Dragon fighting under the sky, Gray took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm.

Although this is a trial space, if I act rashly I will still get hurt. If the injury is serious, Ye Zhi will be worried.

I am no longer a person. When I encounter problems, I have to learn to find solutions like Yeats...

Way, way.

Gray racked her brains and gritted her teeth.

My brain, start working and think of a solution!
Ding--

Ye Zhi looked at Gray's expression of sudden enlightenment in the picture, automatically imagined the sound effects in his mind, and was stunned for a moment.

"Gray...do you have any genius ideas again?"

"Feitan, I have an idea!"

Gray pounded her palms and said excitedly:
"Let's go dig the river mouth!"

Feitan: “Ah?”

Gray said, "Sodom is close to a river and the terrain is low. As long as we dig up the river bank and release the water to flood the city, this will definitely reduce the harm of the sulfur fire in the city!"

Feitan was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you ever thought about the harm caused by floods?"

Gray said proudly: "The dragons are all good at water and are not afraid of floods. Otherwise, why didn't God use His flood magic but sulfur fire to destroy Sodom?"

Feitan: “…”

It seems to make sense!

Outside the trial space.

Yeats fell into deep thought when he witnessed Grey working with Fetan to dig up the river mouth upstream of Sodom, releasing a flood to submerge the city in the sea of ​​fire and saving many dragons.

I'm a greengrocer and this is beets!

Beside Ye Zhi, the golden dragon opened its mouth wide.

It had participated in the same trial that year, hoping to help the Golden Dragon King defeat the Seraph. However, not only did it fail, it was also seriously injured.

Later, the golden dragon summed up the experience and lessons and concluded that the key to passing the trial should be to save the dragon in the city.

However, after such a long time, the golden dragon still had no idea how to save the city in front of all the angels.

However, this dragonborn directly dug a river and released water, using a flood that submerged the city to curb the rolling sky fire. This is really... The golden dragon said in a strange tone:
"Sodom is in dire straits."

Ye Zhi noticed that several giant dragons in the murals had escaped death by taking shelter in the water, and he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Don't worry about the dire situation, just tell me whether the person was saved or not."

The will of the Golden Dragon King 'Odawilly' silently overlooked the flooded Sodom with mixed feelings.

No matter what, I still have to thank them!

The trial set by the Golden Dragon King was essentially due to his regret for the destruction of Sodom and his self-blame and regret for not being able to save his people.

Although Gray did not help the Golden Dragon King defeat the Seraph, she more or less helped the dragon clan... Although the means seemed a bit extreme to the Golden Dragon King, it still worked.

"Dragonborn……"

Looking at the flooded river bank, the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled with satisfaction.

The Golden Dragon King looked deep.

"With her talent, it's appropriate for her to prove my unique skills..."

In the mural, the scenes change.

The burning Sodom disappeared, replaced by a deep darkness.

In the darkness, a majestic golden dragon appeared, staring at the tiny humans.

Seeing this scene, the golden dragon beside Ye Zhi widened his eyes and said in surprise:

"She actually...really passed?"

The scene before her was clearly a sign that the Golden Dragon King was about to bestow his inheritance on Gray!
Ye Zhi smiled slightly: "It seems that I won our bet."

Huang Jinlong was speechless, lying on the floor tiles, and fell into autism.

Three months? It's only been less than three hours! This girl named Gray has passed the Golden Dragon King's test!

Could it be... that she is really a genius?
