Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

At the foot of the mountain about forty miles away from the Silver Squirrel Hotel, Tails looked at the orchard full of green dragon fruits in front of him, and at Vera holding the map, and asked in a low voice, holding back his anger, "Are you sure it's here? "

Without raising her head, Vera pointed to the steep mountain that looked like a stick behind her, then pointed to the green pond in front of the orchard, and finally pointed to a line of small characters on the map, and said confidently: "'Crossing the symbol of power, walking a long way, stopping in front of the green emerald, looking straight ahead, the most precious treasure... is missing behind' But currently these conditions are all met, so, it should be here."

"You said the same thing three times before. Look what you found? A mound less than six feet high, a cavern deep enough to see the bottom at a glance, and a smoking crater. An orchard of disgusting fruits! Don’t tell me that the palace of Emperor Andrew the Great will be here. I will no longer be a groundhog foolishly.” Recalling the scene of finding the mound, Tails was full of resentment, Vera Forcing him to dig up the mound - in human form.Although Vera used some magic, it was still him who did the hard work.And the newly joined priest Hill stood aside indifferently, as if all this had nothing to do with him.Just like now, he wrapped himself tightly, only showing his sharp chin, facing the rolling mountains in the distance, with an indifferent look.

The priest spoke, and he said in a tone that lacked ups and downs: "Not here."

"How do you know?" Hearing that the priest questioned Vera, Tails felt a bit of unhappiness for no reason.

"In Tut, the 'symbol of power' refers to the black star stone on the crown, and this pond looks very shallow. I don't think it is 1000 years old."

Vera smiled, narrowed her slender black eyes almost flatteringly, "You are right, my lord priest, it seems that we should change the direction."

The priest seemed a little upset, "Don't use this title in front of people, call me Hill."

Vera said happily: "Well, dear Hill, then, which direction do you think we should go?"

Hill took the map, studied it carefully, and pointed to the southwest.

Three days later, they found a dark-looking mountain. The rocks on the mountain were reflected in the warm sunlight, making the whole mountain look like a huge black star rock.It seems that Priest Hill is right, this is the 'symbol of power'.

The three of Tails and his party crossed a dark-looking mountain and walked through a deep lake that was as green as emerald.They circled the beautiful deep lake and finally came to the mouth of a valley hidden by mountains.Remnants of stone slabs can be barely found among the overgrown trees and shrubs, and in the depths of the grass, occasionally there are exquisite statues that have not been completely buried.It seems that if the map is correct, this should be the entrance to Emperor Andrew's Palace.

Taniguchi has no roads and is surrounded by hills on all sides.Vera looked carefully and found an ancient magic barrier at the end of the road, which seemed to be the entrance.

Removing the barrier isn't too difficult.This barrier seems to have been laid hastily, and there is no complicated and rigorous structure. The only troublesome thing is that it also contains a barrier built by divine power, and there happens to be a priest among them.Although the structure can be considered exquisite, it is still too thin compared to the legendary ruins and treasure gates that make adventurers at a loss.

Vera, Hill, and Tails joined forces to remove the magic barrier from the early morning, but in the afternoon.

As the ancient magic dissipated, what appeared in front of them was a mountain pass and a wide stone road.Tails took the lead on this road, showing Hill the sincerity of Vera.Villa consciously broke up and let Hill walk in the middle.There are exquisite statues lying on both sides of the road, ranging from slim human girls holding flowers to giant dragons about to fly.Compared to the millennia, these statues are not considered dilapidated, but their color is dull, and it seems that they are covered with a thick layer of brown-green moss.

The slopes on both sides are gentle and covered with green grass.The surroundings were quiet, and Tails suddenly felt uneasy. Jin Long's intuition told him that this place was not as simple as it seemed.He couldn't help but look back at the other two, Hill was still wrapped in his long tattered gray robe, walking slowly; and Vera saw Tails turn his head, showing him a dragon that made the dragon look like he didn't even have any hair. Itchy smile.Tails turned his head blankly. The human form limited his perception of magic. Vera looked as annoying as usual. Since he didn't notice anything wrong, there should be no dangerous magic.

The road was not long, and soon, an open valley appeared ahead.Not far ahead, a gorgeous palace appeared in front of them.

The two men and the dragon stopped at the same time. Tails took a deep breath and stared intently at the golden palace shimmering in the setting sun. He almost forgot his current humiliating form, and just wanted to rush up and occupy this place even with the eyes of a dragon. The palace, which also looks very majestic, overturned the tallest golden vault directly, and brought it back to the lair to enjoy it slowly.

After the initial impulse, Tails gave up this unrealistic idea and turned to the treasures in the palace.According to Vera, this place holds Tutan's most precious treasure!How many shiny treasures should there be!Just imagining it made Tails' blood boil.He secretly gouged out a look at Hill, this greedy guy planned to divide up the treasure first, even if Vera was deceived by him, he wouldn't, he wouldn't want to take away anything that belonged to Jinlong himself!

Vera and Hill didn't seem as excited as Tails.They exchanged a look, and their faces became solemn at the same time.

Thousands of years later, the palace still looks intact, which shows how strong the power to protect it is.

"Tals." Vera's call interrupted the beautiful imagination of the golden dragon galloping, and he asked displeasedly, "What's the matter?"

"Find a flat open space and clean it up. We will spend the night here tonight and enter the palace tomorrow morning."

Although he was confused, Tails didn't question him this time. After being forced to get along for a period of time, he already had a certain amount of trust in Vera's words.He relaxed his whole body, quietly feeling the magic power in the air.Even in human form, he could sense the powerful guardian magic that surrounded the palace.

Tails became excited. It seems that Tutan's most precious treasure is not a lie. There must be too many treasures in the palace guarded by such a powerful magic!He had almost seen the prospect of adding a quarter, no, a third, no, half of his collection to his lair, and the golden light of treasures flickered and danced before his eyes, glowing alluringly, until—Vera The voice interrupted his imagination again.

"Tals, if you don't look for another place, Hill and I don't mind sleeping on you."
