Amber Vow of the Power Dragon

Chapter 14 The Tears of the Star God
The sun was sinking to the west, and the thick leaden gray clouds seemed to fall from the sky to the earth, and there was a solitude between the sky and the earth.

A young girl with a beautiful face is walking between the muddy paths.

She was wearing a simple and elegant dark silk robe, her long wine red hair was fluffy and soft, her fair and beautiful face still had a hint of youthfulness, and she was holding a small but delicate staff.

The girl curiously watched the surrounding mountain scenery.

The lush and tall pine forests, the brocade-like wild flowers, the smoke rising from the towns in the distance, and the weary birds singing and returning to their nests from the cold wind, everything made her feel inexplicably intoxicated.

"Crack!"

"Ah! Shit!" The girl spat out a foul word from her rose-like soft mouth, and her expensive red moccasin boots stepped on a bubble of hot excrement.

"It's not dog shit, it's cow dung!" A chuckle came from behind the girl.

A tall, thin man wrapped in a black-gray fur cloak and a neat beige tunic, with thick brown hair tied back, a sharp smile on his chiseled face.

"Ley! Have you already noticed that there is cow dung on the road? You deliberately didn't remind me, just to see my joke, right?" The girl pointed her knife at the man behind her.

"Christine, Christine, thanks to your minoring in the school of prophecy, you can't even predict the cow dung on the road. If you really become an adventurer in the future, you will fall into the trap of goblins sooner or later." The man named Ley laughed.

"I minored in divination magic, just to make my fireballs explode more accurately." Christine curled her lips, "Only those priests and monks who talk about everything can have meticulous observation skills and so on. !"

During the conversation, Christine flicked her onion-like fingers, and the shimmer of magic flashed in the air.All the cow dung on the bottom of the boots fell off immediately, and the boots became clean and tidy in an instant.

This is a mage's magic trick, which can cause many interesting phenomena: such as creating a breeze, rubbing scary sparks, cleaning dust and stains from small objects, and so on.

Although it is such a low-level magic that even the name is perfunctory, the effect is quite practical.It can be used to organize your own clothes, but also to frighten mortals who don't know magic.

"That's why Teacher Mary asked me to come and watch you." Lay shook his head, "If something happens to you, a genius of Clover Academy, it will be a huge loss to the Academy."

"I said, Ley, you are a visiting professor of the college, so you can completely refuse the invitation of your tutor." Christine asked suspiciously, "This mission has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Ley shook his head: "The reason I took the mission is the same as yours, I just want to take advantage of this mission to relax."

Christine immediately objected when she heard the words: "How can I! I...I just want to share the teacher's worries!"

"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you. It's important!" The girl stomped her feet and stopped entangled in this topic.

Christine's expression became serious, and she stretched out her index finger, the tip of which shimmered with magic, and outlined a teardrop-like shape in the cold air.

"Auta i lóm, nauva calen ar-malta!"

"Its color is like amber, and its name is 'Tears of the Star God'! Reveal its path and gain insight into its truth!" Christine shouted sharply.The teardrop phantom in the air exploded into a plume of smoke, drifting away into the distance.

"Sure enough, the Tears of the Star God are hidden in the Hailar Mountains!" Seeing the success of the magic, the girl jumped up for joy.

Ley sighed: "My little aunt, your positioning magic is too unreliable, right? Do you know how vast the Hailar Mountains are?"

Christine looked at him dissatisfied: "Cut! Then what's your solution?"

"Oh, by the way, aren't you an expert in spells? You can teleport us to the Hyrule Mountains first. You won't have to travel so much!"

Ley shook his head seriously: "It's not that easy now. You also know that for unknown reasons, remote transmission is prone to problems nowadays."

"And if we want to find the Star God's Tears, we need more detailed clues. Compared with your half-assed prophecy magic, we can ask the local residents."

Christine frowned: "The townspeople in Cedar Town can't read a single word, so how could they know the whereabouts of the artifact?"

Ley smiled: "The local residents are not only human beings."

The brown-haired man came to a tall pine tree, caressed the trunk casually, and whispered to himself.

"Le faelivrin hiriethol, mellonamin!"

"Lin Zhongqianying, please come as the Son of Man wished!"

The emerald green radiance spreads like the ripples of the lake, and the cool breeze blows into the pine forest.

Among the shadows of the trees, three ambiguous and graceful figures walked out.

They are graceful, covered with vines, with sad and beautiful faces.Flowers and green leaves grow in the hair, and the soft skin is shining with crystal light.

Christine stared dumbfounded.

This is the four-ring spell, summoning the spirit of the woodland!The caster can use this magic to call out fey creatures hiding in the forest: goblins, dryads, water nymphs, and so on.

The problem is, very few mages are able to learn this kind of magic.Usually only available to druids who have a close relationship with nature.

"Son of man, what's the point of calling us?" A tall tree spirit at the head came out more and more. She had a complexion like ripe honey, and her voice was like spring rain, and the rustling of leaves was like a hypnotic nocturne.

Ley magically took out three handfuls of fresh gooseberries from between his sleeves, the tender fruits still dripping with water.

Holding gooseberries in both hands, he respectfully offered them to the dryad: "Ladies in the forest, have you ever seen an amber with powerful magic? Have you ever seen the hurried figure of a human thief?"

While asking, Ley cast a spell to attract the mist in the mountains, and two images were conjured up in the air: a golden amber in the shape of a teardrop, and a human man with a wretched face and a short stature.

The leading dryad took the gooseberry and smelled it, and nodded with satisfaction.She handed the berries to the two sisters, and immediately replied: "I have never seen the amber you described. But I have indeed seen the human man in the picture, which is the thief you mentioned."

"A thief has three companions: two fighters, and a mage."

"They encountered a vile corpse monster, three of them died, and only the thief escaped."

"The thieves crossed the forest and came to the mountainside of Hailar."

"What happens next is beyond our insight."

At this moment, a tree spirit interrupted and said, "I heard from an old pine tree nearby that there is a red dragon living in the middle of the mountain. If thieves step into the red dragon's lair, it may be a disaster."

Ley frowned when he heard this: "Is this red dragon... an adult?"

The dryad shook his head: "According to the descriptions of the pine trees, the red dragon should be relatively young, and there is still some time before it becomes a full-grown adult. But son of man, for the sake of your life, don't provoke a powerful real dragon."

"The scales of a real dragon are harder than steel, and the breath of a real dragon is hotter than wildfire!"

Ley pondered: "Thank you ladies for your warnings, my doubts have been answered, please return to the verdant forest!"

The dryads nodded to Ley, then turned and walked deep into the forest, their graceful figures disappearing gradually into the mist.

Christine, who was listening the whole time, was a little uneasy: "If the Star God's tears really fell into the red dragon's lair, what should I do?"

Ley laughed and said: "We are all silver-ranked mages, mastering the magic of the high ring, and we can barely be regarded as strong in the eyes of mortals. There is no need to be afraid of a young red dragon!"

"Compared to the red dragon, I am more worried about those corpses."

Ley looked anxiously at the distant mountains and rivers: "It seems that Mrs. Mary's guess is right. Ustalon's claws have stretched too far!"
