Chapter 448: Dragon Slayer Sword, Balmung

In the center of the magnificent hall, the huge head of a golden dragon was lying on the golden floor tiles, its two sharp claws holding a poker card that was too small to be seen clearly, its eyes were wide open, and a cloud of foul air suddenly spurted out of its nostrils.

Daisy remained invisible and floated behind the golden dragon. She glanced at the cards and returned to Ye Zhi's side, whispering in his ear:

"His cards are pretty good. It's going to be hard for you to beat him now."

Ye Zhi thought, is it really okay to cheat so blatantly?

But considering that she is surrounded by the Goddess of Mist, who wields fraud and deception, it would be against Daisy's style not to cheat.

“So, do I give up on this one?” Yeats was referring to a poker trick in which one can give up on following a hand.

Daisy smiled like a fox, her raised eyebrows full of joy.

"Of course it's all in."

"Can you go all-in with this bad hand?"

"Put the cards in your palm and rub them a few times. Maybe a miracle will happen?"

Ye Zhi was stunned, and followed Daisy's instructions. Daisy slowly came over and gently wrapped the back of his hand with two transparent hands.

After rubbing it a few times, Ye Zhi slowly looked at the card, only to see that the card that originally had only three points instantly turned into the King of Spades.

Ye Zhi looked at Daisy in surprise, but saw Daisy mysteriously put her finger in front of her lips and chuckled, "I'm only making an exception so that you can get the Dragon Slayer Sword... You can't really use illusions for gambling, or you'll be disliked by the Mist Goddess."

Ye Zhi thought to himself that it would be difficult for him to lose since he had Daisy behind him when playing cards.

——Just now, the Golden Dragon agreed to the bet proposed by Ye Zhi, and the winner would be decided by a card game. If Ye Zhi won, he could choose any treasure in this royal city. On the contrary, if Ye Zhi lost, he would have to leave an epic quality treasure here.

The Golden Dragon had a clear plan. The most valuable treasure in this royal city was the [Dragon Slaying Sword] Balmung, but the other party didn't know that this thing was hidden in the city, so he could only wander around the city and pick up something worthless to take away.

Besides, it was rare for someone to play cards with him, and Huang Jinlong was really itching to play. He wanted to have a good time even without any stakes!

Perhaps luck favored the Golden Dragon, as he got a good hand, while the human in front of him had a calm expression, as if he already knew who would win or lose.

——Is it because the cards are so bad that you know you are going to lose?

The Golden Dragon glanced at Ye Zhi, whose face was as gloomy as water, and became more and more complacent. The five fingers of one huge dragon claw tapped on the golden floor tiles one by one, and said proudly:

"My card? Humph! If you can beat me, I will chew up the floor tiles here!"

Bang! Huang Jinlong flipped open his trump card, pointed his head toward the sky and said:

"I have a Fulhouse hand, I can't beat it even if it's a flush!"

Seeing that Ye Zhi was reluctant to show his cards, the Golden Dragon smiled more brilliantly, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Everyone thinks I am a man-eating dragon, but in fact, I am also reasonable... If you can't afford the bet, that's okay... As long as you publicize the deeds of a dwarf king for me, it will be considered as labor to pay off the debt!"

Ye Zhi smiled slightly, thinking that this king who turned into a dragon to protect his people must still be upset about being rejected by his people, so he said:

“Why do you want me to promote it?”

"Don't worry about that!" Huang Jinlong said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, show your cards when you are ready!"

Yeats showed his cards.

Royal flush.

The biggest hand.

In an instant.

In the hall, you could hear a pin drop.

The golden dragon's eyes suddenly widened, and its huge head quickly moved closer, its bulging eyeballs staring at the cards, and the sound of its Adam's apple rolling was clearly audible.

"How is this possible?!" Huang Jinlong said in shock, "You must be cheating! How can you be so lucky!"

"Let me remind you that you should accept defeat if you are willing to bet." Ye Zhi said calmly, "Besides, you were the one who dealt the cards just now. If anyone is going to cheat, you have a greater chance of doing so, right?"

The golden dragon's eyes flickered slightly, and it looked away guiltily... In fact, it really used some tricks just now and secretly replaced a few cards, but for the sake of safety, it deliberately did not make a big move.

I didn't see his method at all just now... Could it be that he was just lucky?

Huang Jinlong looked Fan Yezhi up and down, and saw that he had a calm face and a divinity as warm as the winter sun, which made people feel close to him.

“Oh my—”

The Golden Dragon seemed to accept his fate and sighed heavily, and his sigh echoed loudly in the hall.

Then, it used its sharp dragon claws to pierce into the golden floor tiles like poking tofu.

Snap!

The golden dragon poked up a whole floor tile, put it in his mouth and chewed it with a "crunch".

Mammon felt very distressed when he saw this.

"We can tear down these tiles and sell them for money!" Mammon lamented, "It's such a waste that they were eaten by it! We should scrape more golden dragon scales off it to make it worthwhile!"

Mammon, the god of greed, had already regarded himself as the master of the treasure in this dragon's nest! Ye Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard the complaints of this little greedy cat in his mind.

This place... seems to be the home of the Golden Dragon, right?

"As we agreed beforehand, you can choose any treasure in this royal city and take it away."

Huang Jinlong said: "However, if you want to play another round with me later, we will still have the same bet!"

"I only want Balmung," Ye Zhi said, "the dragon-slaying sword in the epic... As far as I know, the sword is left in the ruins of the Dwarf King's City."

Huang Jinlong was stunned for a long while, and his expression became very strange.

The Dragon Slayer Sword was once the sword of the Dwarf King. After it turned into a dragon because of the Rhine Gold, this sword became its weak point.

It was really reluctant and unwilling to give up this sword.

But willing to accept defeat, the golden dragon sighed, and silently turned its huge body, and took out a black and red sword from behind its huge throne.

This is a two-handed sword with rough dragon scale patterns on the blade. There is a red light flowing in the blood groove in the center of the sword, revealing an ominous aura.

Balmung is an epic weapon bathed in dragon blood. In the Icelandic epic, the dragon slayer Siegfried used this sword to kill the dragon Fafnir.

The special attack feature against dragons puts all dragons at a natural disadvantage when facing this weapon.

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "It should be very handy to use this knife to process ancient dragon ingredients..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I've already given you the bet! Now you should be willing to gamble with me again!"

Huang Jinlong's eyes were red, and he looked at Ye Zhi anxiously and expectantly.

Ye Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, in addition to playing cards, I have a new game here that is more strategic than playing cards based on the size of the points... The God of Strategy, the Black Knight, also praised this new game..."

Huang Jinlong was aroused by Ye Zhi's curiosity: "So, gambling skills are more important than luck? What game is it? Tell me quickly!"

Ye Zhi took out a set of jade mahjong from the ring and used [Divine Message] to sense the relevant rules into the Golden Dragon's mind.

Divine message is a new spell that Ye Zhi mastered after being promoted to the Holy Realm. It is an advanced version of short message. It does not rely on the magic network but on divine casting. It can also be effective in certain areas that block the magic network.

The Golden Dragon quickly mastered this new game and played directly against Yeats, Gray, and Mammon in the hall.

Gray looked up in front of her and saw a huge dragon head facing her.

The golden dragon was lying on the floor tiles, using the wind control technique to shuffle and pick up the cards, staring intently at a small row of jade mahjong tiles, then carefully extending the tip of his claws and gently hitting a card.

"That's wrong." Ye Zhi said.

"Ah!" The golden dragon flapped its wings, and a strong gust of wind swept through the hall. Its face was filled with regret, "I shouldn't have played that card!"

Huang Jinlong was not a bad gambler. He quickly admitted defeat and shouted, "Forget it... Just pick one more thing here and come to the next round!"

The most valuable item in the ruins of the Dwarf King's City, [Balmunk], has been obtained. The others are all worldly treasures, which Ye Zhi is not very interested in. He might as well take this opportunity to inquire about the inheritance of the Golden Dragon.

"I know that there is a mural left by the Golden Dragon King in the basement of the royal city. The dragon patterns on the mural record the heritage of the Golden Dragon Clan."

Ye Zhi said: "I hope you can take my companion to visit the mural... just as your payment for the bet!"

Huang Jinlong became more and more frightened the more he listened, and looked at Ye Zhi with fear on his face.

Could he be the incarnation of some god who is good at prophetic power?

Why did he know this royal city so well? "It's still early. If we act quickly, we should be able to play a few more games..." Ye Zhi said intentionally or unintentionally.

Huang Jinlong's gambling mentality kicked in, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

"However, you must not touch the dragon pattern on the mural. It contains the divinity of the eight-ring dragon, and you simply cannot bear it!"

The Rhine gold in the dwarf king's body turned him into a golden dragon, which was an acquired curse. However, the inheritance at the bottom of this royal city came from the real golden dragon clan.

The golden dragon clan that has cultivated to the sixth ring, like the other five-colored dragon clans, has the ability to transform into humans.

Back then, the Golden Dragon Clan was on good terms with the Dwarf Clan. In order to ask the Dwarf King at the time to help forge weapons, the then Golden Dragon King offered his own inheritance in exchange.

Ye Zhi remembered that in the original plot, Grey followed the golden dragon deep into the underground of the royal city, saw the dragon patterns on the murals, and used the golden dragon divinity contained in the dragon patterns for her own benefit.

"Gray..."

Ye Zhi glanced at Gray beside him and sent a message:

“If you can’t bear the divinity in the mural later, step back, make preparations, and then try again.”

Gray nodded slightly, but she was thinking something else in her heart.

This might be my chance to advance to the Holy Realm...

Hild was also constantly chasing after Ye Zhi's footsteps... and she couldn't afford to be left behind by these two.

"Don't worry." Gray showed a sunny smile on her face, "The Golden Dragon Clan are all straightforward. There will be no conspiracy or trickery in their inheritance test. Just rely on strength to get through it!"

Ye Zhi was slightly stunned. What he said unexpectedly made sense.

This is Gray's wisdom!
