The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

There were quite a few traitors and spies. The news that the dwarves were about to find the three gems reached the ears of those who were interested not long after they and the miners left. However, the first person to know was not the Lord of Dragonflame City, nor anyone else, but Maginus.

The dwarves' mines were under close surveillance. She overheard the conversation inside the mine immediately and adjusted her life force to use her senses to confirm whether there was an open space in the skull for a person to stand on.

The skull was indeed not solid. Maginos clapped her hands, trying to teleport her avatar there, but failed. The intense magic there naturally formed a spatial anchor, making it impossible to enter directly using spatial magic.

We still have to wait for someone to dig it up. Since that's the case, Maginus is not in a hurry at all and chooses to let the avatar stay for a while longer.

Using factors such as magic and the direction of the gems in the eye sockets, the dwarves, having confirmed the approximate location of the three gems, immediately accelerated their excavation and successfully reached the skull and heart in just five days.

The Lord of Dragonflame City stood beside the dwarves, his face covered in dust from mining, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes. He was currently at the head level. After passing through the cavern, they entered a mine composed of various magical minerals.

The entire mine is made of magical minerals. To be honest, even if the gems are stolen, the Lord of Dragonflame City could still use the mine to elevate his family to a higher level, and establishing a country would not be impossible.

Although he is a warrior, his physique allows him to stay in such a magically rich area for a long time. After his body absorbs a large amount of magic, he can then produce offspring, with a chance that some of his descendants will become sorcerers, and those with powerful magical talents.

If you don't mind dead people, pregnant women can live here, but the offspring born that way may be deformed.

Magical conception requires certain methods, and it is stable to give the embryo magical power from the very beginning.

The city lord couldn't consider so much. Compared to the future, the gem was already within his grasp. If everything went smoothly, he might even possess a legendary weapon that could be passed down to his descendants.

Therefore, he even chose to ignore the matter at hand. He, who had originally sided with the nobles, turned around and let the Church of the Endless Light deal with those nobles at will, completely disregarding their lives.

One was given to a legendary dwarf, one was used to make a legendary weapon, and the other was given to a trustworthy legend in exchange for his protection...

After distributing the gems, he looked at the dwarves beside him. He wanted to do it but couldn't because of the contract. He wondered how to bypass the contract so that he could get rid of these witnesses. As he was thinking, he came to an area covered with clusters of crystals.

Chapter 743 Finding the Minerals

The air was filled with magic, especially the earth element, which was so abundant that it was almost heavy. Just standing in the mine, one could feel the oppressive feeling coming from all directions. The air pressure and gravity in this area were extremely high, and even the city lord of Dragonflame City, a high-level warrior, felt troubled.

But precisely because of this, they can be certain that they have come to the right place; the stronger the magic and various energies, the closer they are to those three minerals.

"Quick, find them!"

The city lord shouted impatiently, completely ignoring the life force in the air. Maginus observed the cave through his life perception. The cave walls were made of glowing crystals, and there were almost no normal rocks in sight, only minerals and crystals.

While others may not have noticed yet, Maginus, who had locked onto the entire cave, discovered that the concentration of magic also varied in levels, centered around a central area, with the energy intensity increasing the closer to the center.

"Sigh, it's a pity I'm too embarrassed to rush over and snatch it."

She muttered to herself, her gaze falling on a few of the movers. These men seemed different from yesterday, clearly having been replaced.

As the goddess of death, Maginus shouldn't try to steal the gem, since the lord of Dragonflame City has neither been her enemy nor had any conflict with her.

So she decided to let those who also had their eyes on the gems take them away, and wait until the gems changed hands a few times and the Lord of Dragonflame City could no longer retrieve them before she would take the minerals.

Sensing the problem, the two searching teams soon discovered the issue of magic concentration. They formed a large circle to investigate the central location, and after about two hours, they used a multi-angle positioning method to further narrow down the possible area where the legendary dragon's remains might exist.

However, the location was wrong. Within a 100-meter radius, the group searched for powerful minerals, ignoring countless magic crystals, but after nearly half a day, from morning to evening, they still couldn't find anything.

Maginus was equally puzzled. Her estimation was the same as the dwarves': no ​​matter whether they dug upwards or downwards, there was a high probability of finding legendary minerals.

"Where did we go wrong?"

A few seconds of brief thought reminded her of something she had overlooked: if there were two gems in the brain, the energy fields they generated might influence each other, forming a larger circle.

They shouldn't look in the center; they should look in the middle circle between the center point and the outer circle.

Meanwhile, news came from the heart department that they had found one of the legends.

Maginus glanced at a worker holding a thumb-sized red crystal that emanated a powerful magic. It was a special crystal formed by mixing with life force, and it was similar to a life crystal.

It can be used as an auxiliary material for the embryo of the divine artifact, and may be able to give the embryo a certain degree of activity.

Through her perception of life force, she could determine that the crystal had a certain level of activity. If it had not been discovered, it might have given birth to a soul in time, becoming a powerful elemental creature with high-level strength from birth.

Upon hearing that the gem had been found in the heart, the Lord of Dragonflame City was overjoyed. Maginus suddenly laughed, but the lord's joy was short-lived, for he received devastating news.

There's a traitor in the team. Just now, a miner suddenly unleashed mid-level strength, snatched the items, and ran away.

"Damn it, stop him! We have to get the gems back!"

The city lord was furious and roared through the magical communication, ordering the team that entered the cave to retrieve the gem.

As for the Lord of Dragonflame City, the condition of his heart was temporarily unknown due to the interruption of magical communication. He focused his attention on what was in front of him, staring angrily at everyone around him, believing that these guys might take away or steal his legendary mineral.

"Hmph, Lord Dragonflame City, why don't you dig slowly by yourself? We can just stay outside and watch."

The city lord's expression angered the dwarves. The leader of the dwarves was quite straightforward. He handed the pickaxe in his hand to the Dragonflame City Lord, indicating that they could leave at any time and would fulfill their promise once the city lord had prepared an army to protect the gem.

“Ha, no need,” the city lord took a deep breath to calm himself and apologized to the dwarf. “I’m very sorry, Master, please help me with the mining, but we’d better watch out for those guys behind us.”

The dwarves have signed a contract with me, so there's no need to worry too much about them taking the gems and not giving them back. Violating a divine contract isn't something the gods do personally; it's just that the domain controlled by K automatically attacks the violators. Therefore, the disconnect between the gods and the prime material plane cannot affect the implementation of the contract.

The soldiers and porters behind them are different. The city lord can ensure that the dwarves can't take the gems, but if there's a problem with any of these people who haven't signed the contract...

"Everyone, leave the mine and wait outside."

The city lord decisively issued the order, scrutinizing everyone except the dwarves. He felt a pang of regret for those who coveted the minerals, but his expression remained unchanged.

As they moved further away, the dwarven miners did not immediately begin digging. They spent more than ten minutes figuring out what Maginus had thought of in a few seconds, and then replanned their digging route. Using the flight spells on their magical equipment, they flew to the upper rock wall, mining the top first, and then excavating the bottom.

The top of the crystal cave was dug open, and as they dug to a certain point, intense magical fluctuations emanated from within. The miners shouted with joy, "I've found one! Come quick!"

The rest of the group decisively put down what they were doing and worked together to mine the discovered mineral. Before long, a corner of it was revealed.

What came into view was a piece of metal shimmering with golden light. Unrefined, it was mixed with crystals and was composed of the essence of the brain of a legendary dragon after its death, emanating a slight spiritual fluctuation.

"By the god of forging, oh, it is so beautiful."

The dwarves couldn't help but marvel at the luster flowing over the metal ore, a luster even more dazzling and noble than gold. The energy it emitted was powerful and radiant. One dwarf even smashed his hammer into the ore, shattering the magic crystals, but leaving the metal ore completely undamaged.

This also means that the whole thing needs to be dug out, and what is currently visible on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg.

"Quick, quick, dig it out!"

Maginos also saw the crystals and, after consulting a great deal of knowledge, confirmed the origin of the metal.

Dragon Brain Gold, a very simple name, but the conditions for its formation are quite difficult. It requires a legendary dragon to die in a region rich in earth element, and it must consume all of its own treasures before it is formed.

Chapter 744 is finally within my grasp.

It was a day later that the dragon brain gold was unearthed. When only a small part of the metal remained, interlocked with the crystal, its own weight pulled it down. The metal, about the width of a person, crashed heavily to the ground, creating a crater in the crystal floor.

It showed no intention of changing shape; only the attached magic crystal cracked.

Now only the last seven-colored crystal remains. A fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the Dragonflame City Lord. To him, the other two minerals formed by the legendary dragon itself were just small fry. The real important thing was that seven-colored crystal.

According to information passed down from the city lord's family, this colorful crystal is likely related to a certain deity. A dragon once used it to create a pressure even stronger than the dragon's might, and even suppressed itself.

After admiring the dragon brain gold to their hearts' content, the dwarves handed it over to the city lord, who immediately put it into his dimensional bag to minimize interference during the excavation. The dwarves then repositioned themselves, locked onto the center, and began digging.

The center was surrounded by clusters of crystals. The crystal clusters and the crystal ground were much harder than other places. It took the dwarves about five or six hours to dig out the deep pit.

The magical fluctuations were getting closer and closer. The city lord's face lit up with joy, but his hand unconsciously went to his weapon. As a seven-colored light flashed, the dwarves were dazzled by the color. The lead miner tremblingly held up a prismatic crystal.

The light it emitted almost completely transformed the predominantly blue crystal cave into a kaleidoscope of colors, which kept changing and captivating the viewer.

Maginus, observing through her life senses, instinctively stood up. Compared to the city lord's information, Maginus felt it much more clearly. The colored crystal contained an incredibly strong divinity, which seemed to be related to magic.

"What an unexpected surprise."

She sat down again, not in a hurry. The group that stole the red crystal hadn't left yet, and they probably still wanted to take action against the city lord himself. She would have plenty of opportunities to get what she was owed.

On the other side, the dwarf, who had been attracted by the colorful crystal, was brought back to his senses by the city lord's urging. Reluctantly, he handed the crystal to the city lord. As a high-ranking warrior, he pulled at it several times before finally taking the prism and stuffing it into his dimensional bag.

"Thank you all for your help. I will pay the remaining balance as promised. I will pay you when I get back."

With his mood brightened, the city lord abandoned his original plan to kill them to silence them. He bowed to the dwarves to show his respect, and the leader laughed heartily and agreed: "Is there any wine? We won't go if there isn't!"

The group behind them exchanged glances, deciding to leave the troublesome place immediately through the portal after receiving the final payment.

The dwarves believed that a great war was about to break out in Dragonflame City, whether it was a conflict between the Church of the Good God and the nobles, or a struggle for the Dragonflame City Lord's treasure mine, both of which would lead to bloodshed.

They had no intention of staying long; the struggles of the human world were none of their concern.

As the group left the mine, some of the porters' eyes lingered on the city lord's belt, memorizing the design of the dimensional bag. They immediately informed the people behind them after they left.

Upon receiving the news, the Fear God immediately tapped his finger on the table, mobilizing his forces to focus their attention on the city lord's manor, planning to steal it that night.

The city lord of Dragon Vein City always has times when he sleeps. As long as you don't show any murderous intent towards him, there's a chance that a mid-level assassin can steal something without being discovered.

Dragonflame City was in near chaos. The Church of the Three Gods, with the permission of the city lord, was still judging and dealing with the nobles. The two sides were secretly fighting each other, and the streets, temples and even manors were damaged.

The next day, when it came out in the open, no one admitted to doing such a thing, and usually the matter was dropped. Then, at night, they would start attacking each other again, and the cycle repeated every day. Fortunately, no major casualties had been caused, and the situation was still under control.

After seeing the dwarves off, the paranoid city lord dispatched all his troops to guard the entire city, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, and began searching for the thief who stole the red crystal, but unfortunately there was still no news.

At night, the vigilant man had already "sent off" five or six thieves who wanted to steal the dimensional bag. As for leaving the treasure somewhere else, he was naturally not at ease, so it was better to keep it in the dimensional bag and carry it with him.

Just like now, if a thief comes in, you can still guarantee that your things won't be stolen, but who knows what might happen if they're left in a treasure vault.

Maginus watched the chaos unfold, remaining calm and focused on the culprits: the three individuals who created the chaos, sent people to steal the red crystal, and were suspected of having connections with the Child of Fear.

Sure enough, just a week later, they launched another operation, but this time their goal was not to steal directly, but to create even greater chaos.

They kidnapped the son of the city's second-largest nobleman, who happened to be on the Church of the Endless Light's blacklist. As soon as he disappeared, the second-largest nobleman couldn't sit still and led a group of people to demand the return of the playboy.

The Light of No End had already sensed something was amiss. The bishop spoke with the nobleman, making it clear that the church had never engaged in kidnapping and that the disappearance of the playboy had nothing to do with the church.

This answer naturally failed to satisfy the noble count, and tensions escalated until one day it finally exploded. A group of outlaws, backed by the nobles, directly attacked the patrolling church members. They failed to kill them all and instead received reinforcements.

The outlaw had no choice but to run back to the nobleman's house. When the church people came to investigate, they couldn't even get in the door. After being provoked by the gatekeeper, the people of the Fear God's side released the power related to the conflict, causing the two sides to fight in broad daylight.

As the situation escalated, the city lord of Dragonflame City also sensed something was wrong, but in order to prevent his town from being damaged too much, he chose to go to the city to mediate.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief after separating the two sides, a powerful high-level assassin suddenly launched an attack from the crowd, instantly severely injuring the city lord!

Fortunately, he had something to protect himself and was tough enough that he wasn't instantly killed. He decisively fled. The nobles hesitated, but the Church of Benevolence realized something was wrong and immediately withdrew its troops, sending three high-ranking officers to search for and protect the city lord.

Only at this moment did Maginus, who had remained motionless in the inn, open his eyes, stretch vigorously, making his bones creak, stand up from his chair, and slowly walk away from the tavern toward the direction in which the city lord had fled.

According to his life perception, Wright's team was located on the city lord's only route. They had met with the city lord, and Maginus intended to give Wright and the others temporary power so that they could partially resolve the problem.

As for why it's only partially resolved, the items will definitely be taken away by the Fear God's group.

Chapter 745 The Minerals Were Stolen

"Quickly, something went wrong during this conversation. Apparently, someone assassinated the city lord. We need to get there right away."

Wright, his expression tense and on high alert, was rushing towards the scene of the incident, unaware that the seriously injured city lord was running towards them; otherwise, he would have definitely led the three members of his group to avoid them.

For Wright, who was still at the mid-level, and the other three members at the low level, being drawn into a high-level battle was a very dangerous thing. They couldn't just go forward and die for the Lord of Dragonflame City, after all, he wasn't exactly a good person either.

But now there was no escaping it. As Wright ran, he saw the Dragonflame City Lord rushing towards him from afar. His gaze swept over the Lord's bleeding chest, and his expression changed slightly. At the same time, he made a decision. He turned his head and signaled Berea and Simi to cast healing spells. Together with Haru, he drew his weapons and prepared for battle.

As the light faded, the city lord, who had been wary, confirmed that they were members of the Church of Benevolence. His tense expression immediately eased, and he weakly lay down beside the group, offering his thanks.

"Thank you for your help, children. If I survive this, I will plead with your bishop..."

"Lord City Lord, how strong are the enemies chasing you?"

Wright wasn't going to listen to the city lord's empty promises. Instead, he asked how many people were pursuing him, and didn't ask why he didn't seek the protection of the nobles and the church.

With so many people around, the city lord, who was seriously injured and whose strength was not even at the mid-level, might have been afraid that someone was hiding in both sides' teams, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

He wasn't a warrior focused on physical strength, and the high-level assassin's weapon was faulty. Even with the priest's healing, he was still in a weakened state and it seemed he would need a long rest to recover.

"The high-level assassin on the other side was struck by my sword and could no longer attack. Judging from my perception, there are at least two mid-level and four low-level assassins chasing me, all of whom are assassins who came to create chaos."

The city lord concealed part of the truth, such as the reason for the assassination attempt. His hand unconsciously moved towards the dimensional bag at his waist. Wright sensed this slightly, but instead of asking questions, he stared straight ahead.

"Simi, the Light Spell."

Light spell!

The dazzling light illuminated the street, completely dispelling the surrounding shadows. The light points hung in the air, ensuring that everyone's shadows would not be elongated, thus preventing shadow-type assassins from taking advantage of the situation. The four of them stood firm on the spot, trying to wait for the church's rescue.

The two priests sensed the approaching danger. A chilling aura swept over them, and in the next second, six people suddenly sprang out from the shadows. Two mid-level and four low-level priests launched an attack simultaneously, heading straight for the city lord.

Due to the effects of the light spell, they were unable to hide or evade, and with church members on their way from behind, they had no choice but to engage in a direct confrontation.

"Emerald Flame Sword: Demon-Slaying Slash!"

Flames erupted, and Wright, instead of retreating, advanced with his sword. The Trick of Emerald Flame Sword was enhanced with the Evil-Slaying Slash, and the blade, carrying a dazzling light, slashed towards one of the mid-level assassins. Seeing that there was no way to dodge, the advancing assassin decisively raised his hand to block.

The blades clashed, and the paladin's power was far beyond what the assassin could resist. The dagger in his hand, which only had basic enchantments, broke instantly. The blade cut through the assassin, maximizing the damage and splitting him in two.

The other assassins rushed past Wright's blockade, but another mid-level assassin was stopped by Haru. He was unarmed and clenched his fists, which emitted a dazzling light, and lightning flashed as electricity flowed through them.

Thunderclap Sword Slashes Evil!

As the Fist of Light, he incorporated his magic tricks and the Evil-Slaying Slash into his fist, unleashing a fierce strike at the mid-level assassin. The attack was relatively slow, and the assassin tried to dodge to the side. Haru's gaze followed her movement, and suddenly, with a strange force, he changed the direction of his punch and slammed it down.

The movements were like a tidal wave.

The fist struck the assassin in the chest, sending him flying, but it wasn't fatal. The attack was slightly less lethal, but it left the assassin almost completely defenseless.
