Chapter 16 Will the dragon Didin still rob tombs?
Chapter 16 Will the dragon Didin still rob tombs?
Bright, warm, full of life energy, and with a faint fragrance, the walls of the Dragon's Nest are smooth and flat in some places, extend outwards in others, and are recessed in still others.
On the extended stone platform, green grass emitting a faint green glow was placed.
Inside the concave rectangular hole... there seem to be books placed there?
Dragon's Nest was larger and cleaner than Sophia had imagined.
Furthermore, the dragon Destin's lair contained various transparent glass bottles and jars, which held some strange...potions?
Some of them are filled with flowers and plants.
The walls of the dragon's lair are inlaid with huge crystals that emit a warm yellow light.
Above where the dragon Diding sleeps, there is a huge transparent crystal.
Sophia was stunned. Is this what a dragon's lair looks like?
Shouldn't it be dimly lit, gloomy, and a bit damp, with the ground piled with all kinds of metals, crystals, gold and silver jewelry?
This is how the human world describes the dragon's lair.
But the dragon's lair was clean and bright, and a faint fragrance wafted from the cave.
The ground was flat, and the corners were filled with glowing flowers and plants.
This was the first time she had ever seen green in Hell.
There was no green on that dark red earth outside.
These glowing flowers and plants...could they have been cultivated by the dragon Destin himself?
Sophia's gaze fell on the dragon Didin's body.
Diding lay sprawled on a pile of dry, soft, and vibrant hay. "If you want to see, come in and look openly. You don't need to peek from the doorway."
"Oh, okay..." Sofia responded guiltily, then asked again, "Can I really go in and see?"
"You must have been a noblewoman in your previous life, how come you're so timid?"
"....."
What noblewoman? She's a princess!
But dragons are naturally the bane of princesses...
Legend has it that dragons love to abduct princesses.
"I'm doing this out of respect for Lord Diding."
Sophia blushed and offered a defense, glancing at the dragon Distin before tiptoeing into the dragon's lair, avoiding Distin's gaze, and wandering around inside.
She first went to the corner of the wall and looked at the flowers and plants cultivated by the dragon, Destin.
They were all varieties she didn't recognize, but there were flowers of all colors here, and some of them looked like they were smiling.
Sofia knelt down in front of a small white flower that looked like it was smiling. Just as she was about to gently touch the flower, the six-petaled flower suddenly closed up and bit her finger.
Startled, she screamed and quickly pulled her finger out.
"Lord Distin! This little white flower bites!"
"It's a biting ghost."
It bit my finger.
"It's called 'The Moon Hides Its Face and the Flower Shys Its Face.' If you touch it, its petals will close up when it gets shy; it's not biting you."
Destin pointed out the flowers in the corner to Sophia.
Most of those colorful flowers are exceptionally beautiful, and the other types are also ornamental and pose no danger.
"A flower name that eclipses the moon and shames the flowers? What a strange name."
Sophia muttered to herself, no longer daring to touch the flowers and plants in the dragon Didin's lair. What if she encountered a flower that actually bites... oh, bites ghosts? That would be too terrifying.
She doesn't want to lose a finger.
Sophia got up and walked towards the recessed area in the wall. When she arrived at this spot, she saw that there were indeed books placed in the rectangular recess.
The other holes in the wall were also filled with books.
The dragon Destin actually likes to collect books?
Sophia glanced at Distin subconsciously. Dragons in the human world certainly don't like books, and even if they found some, they wouldn't bring them back to their dragon den.
"Lord Distin, have you read all of these books?"
"Um."
Sophia's face showed shock. So many books... the dragon Diding had read them all!
so amazing!
She's never read more than half the books here in all her life—no, not even a fraction of them!
"Where did these books come from? Are there bookstores selling books in hell?"
"Most of them I got from the Lich King Brian, and a small portion I dug up while doing archaeological work in the depths of Hell."
As for whether there are bookstores selling books in Hell, I don't know about other areas, but there are no bookstores selling books in Scarlet Wasteland.
Where there are ghost towns, there might be bookstores selling ghost books.
Destin explains to Sophia that Hell has no boundaries, and there are definitely ghost towns in other areas.
"?"
Sophia understands that she asked the Lich King for it.
What does it mean when archaeologists dig something up from the depths of hell?
Are there ancient books buried beneath the surface of hell?
No... there's a problem with the word "archaeology" too.
In the human world, tomb raiders like to use "archaeology" to glorify their actions.
Will the dragon Diding still rob tombs?
Sofia was stunned.
No, no, how could there be graves in the depths of hell?
In the human world, only after a living being dies will there be a grave.
The undead creatures in hell can't even become ghosts after they die, so where do they get their graves?
As for the hellish ghost town...
I've never seen her before, and even if I did, I wouldn't dare go in.
Lord Destin must be a learned and talented dragon.
"If you want to read books, you can tell me. Except for the books at the very top, which are not suitable for you, you can read any of the books below."
Sophia glanced at the books displayed in the hole; some of them had words on their covers, but she didn't recognize them.
Those characters look very ancient.
She tried to find a book that she could read, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find one.
Well... she's become illiterate.
"Um... Lord Distin, the writing on these books... I don't recognize any of it, it's too ancient."
Sophia felt a little embarrassed. As a princess of the Kingdom of Roland, she had read ancient books and knew some ancient characters.
But she didn't recognize a single word in the ancient books on the dragon Diding's "bookshelf".
"I can teach you if you want to learn."
"Ah...no, no, that's too much trouble for Lord Distin."
Sophia was flattered and waved her hands repeatedly. She just wanted to steal some dragon dung and didn't want to study in hell.
The knowledge she has acquired is sufficient for now.
Diding glanced at Sophia out of the corner of his eye without saying a word. Since he was going to train this brat Sophia, he would definitely improve her strength in every aspect.
If Sophia can understand those "ancient" books, it will only benefit her, not harm her.
As if afraid of being forced to study by the dragon Destin, Sophia left the place where Destin had placed the bookshelves and walked towards the area where bottles and jars were placed.
After walking a few steps, Sophia heard a rumble of thunder, followed by the patter of rain.
It's raining in the blood-red wasteland.
Sophia turned and jogged to the entrance of the dragon's den, squatted down, and looked at the drizzling rain outside.
Every now and then, you can see blood-red lightning flashing across the scarlet sky.
