Novel Full Chapter 600 Covered With Treasures
“I’ll continue to fortify the place later,” Roland said faintly as he looked at the high concrete platform, “and carve another Dimensional Anchor array underneath while the Dimensional Anchor spell is still in effect so he can’t get out.”
Wright took a step back in shock. “So cruel? How many years does it take for a magic array like that to fail?”
“A conservative estimate would be three hundred years,” Roland replied after a moment’s thought.
“Impressive,” Wright tsked. “I wonder if the golem will still be moving after that many years.” Wright looked at the rocky plateau in the roiling yellow sand. “In three hundred years, maybe this place will become a legendary ruin that will attract many people to excavate and explore.”
As the two men spoke, a bird’s song suddenly came from far in the sky.
Roland looked up and felt at ease immediately when he saw a blue firebird flying in the air.
The huge firebird landed, the blue fire dispersed, and Andonara held up a huge charred black dragon head and casually threw it to the ground.
“I’ve killed this little thing,” Andonara said with a smirk. “It was quite troublesome.”
The charred dragon head fell on the sand and dust, raising a puff of smoke.
The players around them froze for a moment, then cheered in delight almost simultaneously.
“Your Majesty the Queen is mighty and majestic and will be invincible for as long as the sun rises in the east[1].”
Andonara stood proudly with her spear in her hand, feeling no embarrassment.
She deserved such admiration.
But when Roland’s narrowed eyes looked over, she immediately softened and put the spear behind her back. She walked over to Roland, took his hand, and said happily, “How are you going to reward me for working so hard?” “Take you on a trip for a few days?” said Roland casually.
Andonara’s eyes shone brightly. “Yes, yes!”
Then she clung to Roland, and even rested her head on his shoulder, looking quite intimate.
Wright felt a sour taste in his mouth as he watched the shameless couple show their love as if no one was watching. There are lemon fruits on the lemon tree, but I’m the only one under the lemon tree! Feeling like he’d die from sourness if he kept looking, he took the initiative and said, “Almighty, since the golem and the white dragon have been dealt with, leave Tebesia to us.”
It was no wonder Wright said that; this epic quest had taught these thousands of players a lesson.
When a person was strong to a certain level that resulted in a significant difference, relying on numbers alone wouldn’t kill them.
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you guys.” Then Roland turned his head to look at Andonara. “Let’s go for a walk nearby. The desert scenery is kind of interesting.”
Andonara nodded adoringly.
Watching these two walk away, Wright said, “Ah, I really want to find a beautiful NPC for a relationship now. But a woman like this, powerful, in good shape, and with a gentle personality is a bit hard to find. Never mind… forget it. Let’s raid Tebesia first.”
After leaving the oasis, Roland took Andonara for a casual walk through the desert, both of them strong enough to ignore the desert heat.
After walking for some time, Roland looked at the distorted rising air over the distant dunes and asked, “Anna, what is it that you brought me here for? Is there something you are not comfortable talking about?”
“Of course!” Andonara walked to the side and stood in front of a dune that was a little higher than the surrounding area and said, “Blow off this sand.”
Although Roland didn’t specialize in wind elemental magic, being an Elemental Lord gave him extremely strong magic control.
He could use basic wind-based magic just as well, but it wasn’t very powerful.
He used a small whirlwind to uncover the dune.
A dead headless dragon appeared in front of Roland.
“Well, it’s worth a fortune, isn’t it,” said Andonara, angling her pretty chin triumphantly.
Roland couldn’t resist hugging and kissing her.
The dragon’s whole body was a treasure.
The dragon skin could be used as magical leather armor; its physical and magical resistance was surprisingly high.
Dragon blood could be used to make alchemical reagents—the finest kind.
Dragon meat could be eaten to strengthen the body and boost libido and trigger the evolution of one’s bloodline.
So, this dragon corpse, by Roland’s conservative estimate, was worth at least 10,000 gold coins, which, when converted into RMB, was probably around 160 million yuan.
He’d made a great fortune.
Roland used Mud To Stone to sink this dragon head under the sand layer, and then built a rocky square cabin below to hide the dragon corpse.
Then he set up a Teleportation magic array in the cabin.
He could teleport in at any time.
For the next three days, Roland spent his time breaking up this dragon corpse.
As the top creature in this world, after a dragon died, its flesh would have to wait at least a decade or so for the energy to dissipate before it would gradually rot due to the energy contained within it being so strong.
So Roland wasn’t worried about the stuff turning stinky.
In these three days, he and Andonara dismembered the dragon corpse together.
They separated the dragon skin, dragon bones, dragon meat, and internal organs in their own piles.
By Roland’s conservative estimate, this dragon weighed at least seventeen tons.
He would keep the dragon skin to make Andonara a suit of white dragon armor and the dragon bones to forge weapons.
He would keep some dragon meat and sell the rest and the internal organs as well.
But the dragon heart was reserved for Andonara.
The dragon heart weighed over a hundred pounds, and slicing it down and boiling it for Andonara to eat every day would have a great strengthening effect on her physique.
But… it would be even harder to break her defense.
It seemed like he would also have to eat some.
After Roland dismembered the dragon, Tebesia was also breached by the players. Without the Legendary white dragon and the intelligent golem, Tebesia, in the eyes of the players, was a piece of fat meat.
Even though there were still two Legends overseeing the place, the Magic Tower was still breached under the onslaught of several thousand professionals.
With the influence of dozens of Dimensional Anchor scrolls, it would be quite impressive if the spatial Mages could use a fifth of their strength.
Let alone attack, they couldn’t even escape.
Greene was killed in the Magic Tower by a flurry of arrows and died with an incredulous look on his face as if he had seen an evil spirit.
Another Legendary Mage, thrown into a state of loss and grief by the discovery of the death of the contracted white dragon, was directly pierced through the heart by a Warrior who had breached the city.
As for Pylos, he had long since disappeared.
When Tebesia was destroyed, the players captured two hundred Mages and nearly a thousand magic apprentices.
Players who took the quest could automatically see the “evil value” on these Mages, a benefit that came with the quest.
They decided who would live, who would be reformed through labor, and who would die based on the evil value.
After the city was breached, the people of the Red Magic Tower appeared, and under Roland’s guidance, they were responsible for inventorying the assets of the Spatial Magic Tower.
After all, they were professionals and soon cleared out all the remaining assets of the Spatial Magic Tower.
Finally, they laid out a chart; the magic materials of the Spatial Magic Tower, magic models, as well as gold and silver and other things, were worth about 20,000 gold coins.
Very rich.
The Red Magic Tower took out two magic scrolls and left the rest up to the players to deal with.
After these things were sold, Wright and the commanders were responsible for counting the number of people and then handing out money.
Roland also took thirty gold coins as a token. After all, he shared the epic quest and contributed the most, so he deserved to take the most.
Most of the other players, according to their contributions, could also receive two and up to ten gold coins, and even if they didn’t contribute much, they’d get a gold coin. After all, it was all about participation and everyone could get a share.
The quest ended here, and all the players who had participated in the quest also received a core skill for their profession, improving their overall ability a lot.
After the quest was completed, half of the five thousand players intended to continue exploring this continent.
The other half said they were going back. They had their organizations and didn’t want to be solo players.
There were ways for players to go back on their own.
However, the werecats couldn’t travel long distances, and for this reason, Roland brought out his newly acquired flying ship, specifically to transport the werecats.
The werecats were transported to Betta’s Wetland City in a few round trips.
For the werecats’ migration, Betta had set aside a nice neighborhood for them in the city, and there were even nice little red-tiled two-story houses already built on it. Maromatha walked through Wetland City, looking around with extreme curiosity.
Today marked three days since the werecats had settled here.
After getting things settled at home, Maromatha walked down the spacious city street.
She had a strong desire to explore the city.
Since it was a city, the tall walls were a given, and many, many things truly surprised Maromatha here.
For example, the 80-meter-wide, super large main roads-eight across and eight downwere much more exaggerated than those at the capital of Hollevin.
As for the medium-sized branching roads, they were even more densely packed to string the whole city together. The city streets had many mesh-like rock openings, and after studying them, Maromatha discovered that those were drainage openings. Then on the side of the road, there were many signs indicating what part of the city one was in.
It was quite thoughtful.
If the city’s infrastructure surprised Maromatha, then what really shocked her made her let out a happy meowing sound was the food street here.
Not to mention something as heavy as barbecue, just smelling it from a dozen meters away would make one want to dig into their pockets.
This was just for people. Werecats had a stronger sense of smell; Maromatha was captured on the spot by the barbecued foods. The barbecue stall she visited was strange.
The humans dressed as a pig, a monkey, and a bald burly man with a fake skull around his neck. The three sang while twisting and turning barbecued meat, grilling something called “martial monk’s meat[2],” which tasted excellent.
The taste of at least six spices blossomed on her sensitive tongue.
She had been in the food street for five hours and had only moved through two stalls.
She had planned to go through the food street in one day but ended up not even actually going in the alley after five hours.
After she couldn’t eat anymore, Maromatha left the food street with regret. She walked around the city, observing the city, observing its citizens. She wanted to determine how to live in the city in the future.
The catgirl walked from morning to afternoon and then to evening.
She found that the city was quite safe. Very good. Not even one murder or a brawl was seen throughout the day. Of course, there were still arguments.
The city was quite lively.
The Golden Sons, regardless of their status, actually hawked their goods in the street. They were even quite enthusiastic, always asking her to try free food or asking her to try new products.
Even in the middle of the night, the hawking didn’t stop.
Maromatha climbed to the highest part of the walls and watched the whole city light up… She realized that it was a real city that never sleeps. After all, the Golden Sons didn’t need to sleep.
Continuing to explore, Maromatha wasn’t tired at all despite a day of walking around the city.
She felt like she could party all night.
