Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 219: Phantom's Game

The Copper Dragon is the master of humor among metallic dragons, and even its phantom has inherited this to some extent.

A greedy treasure hunter might be annoyed by this, but Ron and his friends didn't have too many expectations in this regard, so except for the goblin hunter with a gloomy face, everyone else gladly accepted this "third treasure".

An entire cave, or an entire canyon if the canyon outside is included. Although the musical instrument made in this way cannot be bought or sold or used in battle, it is indeed a great gift. Ron and Sylvia, who know a little bit of dragon language, have tried to play it under the guidance of the copper dragon phantom, and the effect is very good.

Sera and the others also tried, but unfortunately the barbarians had little talent in music. Even the phantom of the copper dragon tried to block out its hearing under her tiger roars and ape cries.

Although Ivy's Elvish and Victoria's Common songs have their own unique flavor, the scale of this instrument is obviously prepared for giant dragons that speak Dragon Language, and the mosquito-like melody obviously cannot meet the needs of the audience.

"You guys are having quite a bit of fun!" Driver rolled his eyes wildly, trying to draw his companions' attention to his dissatisfaction, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him, so the hunter had to turn his attention to the Copper Dragon.

"Hey, Dragon!" Driver put his hands on his hips, "I just wanted to ask you a question: Didn't you say before that you were bound here by the devil to guard the seal?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" The Copper Dragon lowered its head, even though it didn't need to do so to hear Driver.

"But your original body fled because of the elves' threat. Isn't this a contradiction? Ron, did you hear that the Grand Duke say that Ryan did not depend on any party?"

"Why would he scare you away?"

"He killed Orson Muniper with the help of his instigator," the phantom said, choking Driver. "Yes, I am slightly stronger than my gardener neighbor, but only slightly - God, I tremble with fear when I think of the existence that might come to my door!"

The copper dragon said so, but she didn't show any fear, after all, she had already died. No matter how powerful a being was, it was unlikely to revive a dragon and kill it again.

That's too crazy.

"Uh, you mean, Gracia lied to us?" Ron motioned to his companions to stop singing. "Oh my God! But why did she do that?"

If a devil duke really seems to have nothing to do, he can just plot to overthrow Asmodeus. Is it interesting to come here and deceive a mortal?

"Gracie? You know quite a few big guys," the copper dragon stuck out its tongue, "She didn't lie to you, it's just that her angle was a little different."

"Your name is Ron, right? Okay, Ron, let me test you: When playing cards, what are the elements on and around the card table?"

"Hmm..." Ron thought for a moment, "To play cards, of course there must be cards and a card table, then there are card players, and there may be spectators around."

"that's it?"

"That's it if you don't play around with money."

"You don't gamble money when you play cards?!" The Copper Dragon was shocked. "Then what's the point? Of course, I'm referring to the card games in taverns and casinos!"

"Well, then let's add more chips - but this is going too far, right?" "Going too far? No, no, no," the Copper Dragon laughed mischievously, "There is one more factor: the dealer."

"The queens of the Kingdom of Faramar are just a few cards in the hand of the demon lord. Other players have tried to take the elf's card before. But this card is unusual: he doesn't want to be beaten around, he wants to be the player."

"But the other card players, or the audience you mentioned, obviously can't do this. So the only one he can collude with is the dealer, right?"

"But let me guess... You don't have much respect for elves, so he probably didn't get to the table, blow out the lights and remove the candles, right?"

"We and our friends gave him a ride," Ron nodded, "You're a phantom, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about - how about telling us about this dealer?"

"The guy who deserves to die but doesn't want to die." Even though it's just an illusion, the Copper Dragon could clearly sense his fear of this topic. "Although I'm dead, you're still alive. For your safety, I'd better not tell you directly - that guy's heart is smaller than a needle tip!"

"Regarding the identity of the banker, let me think of a riddle, but promise me not to guess, and don't tell it out if you guess it by accident. I am the phantom of a copper dragon. I have no intention of murdering you or deliberately playing dumb. This is entirely for your own good, okay?"

Ron took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead and talk. We're listening."

"Well, give me some time to think about it. After all, I don't have a physical brain... Now I have it." The copper dragon cleared its throat, "The long and the long, the death is not dead. The scales are not shiny, and those who meet them will find it difficult to bury them."

"how do you feel?"

"Too general," Ron frowned. He actually had some guesses, but he would rather not guess what he had guessed. "I can't guess anything."

"Thank you for your praise," the Copper Dragon nodded with satisfaction, "Then my goal has been achieved."

"Can I ask one last question about this?" Ron raised his hand. "What kind of power does this banker you mentioned have in his own territory?"

"If the dealer is not strong enough, there is no guarantee that the gamblers will choose to rob the money directly, right?" The Copper Dragon did not give a direct answer, but what she said was very clear.

And from the known information, even if it leaves the nest, it can at least suppress the old green dragon. But based on this, Ron and others cannot afford to provoke it now.

"Ron has finished his questions. I still have some questions!" Driver jumped up. "Can you draw a map of the cave for us? The teleportation array has no energy. It's better to just walk out than to wait for it to recover!"

"Ah, I'm happy to help you with that," the copper dragon smiled. "Then you can play a game with me for a while, and then I'll return to dust. Follow my singing and see if you can find the exit, how about that?"

"Wait, you are no longer bound, there is no need to..." Ivy wanted to persuade him to stay, but was interrupted by the humming of the copper dragon.

"I have to do this. This is the meaning of my existence. Everything I have is in the past. There is no nostalgia and it is not worth remembering~"

“New friends, old friends, hold your heads high, spread your wings, and explore the unknown world. Your eyes are my eyes. I will live forever and live with you forever~”
