Emperor of Arcane

"Roar……!"

A deafening roar came from the dark cave.

Two huge claws poked out, and the dark blue scales shone brightly under the sunlight.

The entrance to the cave, which had been reinforced with great efforts, was forcibly ripped open by it.

Large swaths of stones fell down, and violent vibrations resounded around them.

When the smoke gradually dispersed, a ferocious giant emerged from the cave.

A huge body of 23 meters.

Huge spread wings.

A huge pointed horn that shines with light.

All indicating its identity, it is the blue dragon that Matthew and the players call the "unlucky guy" - Kalecgos!

The ferocious-looking Kalecgos suddenly stretched out his claws and patted himself on the head.

Bang!

The force of this claw was very strong, and it knocked off a large piece of dust on Kalecgos' head, which made his eyes feel dizzy.

However, this seemingly crazy action made Kalecgos wake up.

It recalled its previous transaction with the Cole Elf, carefully turned its head to look around, and quickly waved its claws to "pick up" the surrounding quicksand.

A huge amount of quicksand gradually filled the cave.

It won't take long before it disappears secretly and merges with the surrounding yellow sand.

Looking at the sun hanging in the sky and confirming that the crazy whisper in his ears had finally disappeared, Kalecgos couldn't help but roar to the sky, and the violent aura spread around him.

Then Kalecgos flapped his wings, and his huge body rose into the sky, leaving only a piece of yellow sand that was blown away.

Looking at Kalecgos's retreating figure, Councilor Caledor's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he turned to Sword Master Hess and said:

"If the plan goes well, the good days of the Gulf Territory will come to an end."

Swordmaster Hess, who had been a little worried recently due to the Dragon Warrior transformation, slowly shook his head and said with a firm tone and tone:

"The Blue Dragon Kingdom is already broken, and they can hardly pose much of a threat to the Gulf Territory."

"The top priority is to open the underground ruins and release the deadly ghosts."

"With the huge amount of resources invested by the Gulf Territory in the Death Desert, they will never give up here."

"This will cause the Gulf Territory to lose a steady stream of blood and contain their rapid development."

Noticing the caution in the tone of Sword Master Hess, Councilor Caledor was very happy that the Shadow Council had such a good player. He nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, although the Gulf Territory's territory is not large, it is an opponent that deserves to be taken seriously."

"We must cause more trouble for them and make careful and far-reaching arrangements."

"Little by little, their development potential is weakened and their development is slowed down."

"Unfortunately, the Gulf Territory's laws and surveillance methods are too tough to deploy spies and moles on a large scale."

Swordmaster Hess shook his head. He had sent many good players to the Gulf Territory.

It exists in all races, but the effect is very poor.

Most of them fell for the endless detection spells from the Gulf Territory before they even thought about doing bad things.

Others don't play much of a role. As long as they dare to make any movement, they will be discovered and arrested immediately.

The people in the Gulf Territory are extremely vigilant, and everyone is very honest and law-abiding.

Even basic unjust, false and wrong cases have no place to survive, making it difficult for them to carry out their "work".

Swordmaster Hess vaguely remembered an elite human master of deception, just because he made up a few bad words about trolls and kobolds.

He was dragged in front of the Bay Leader patrol by two or three idiot-like adventurers.

In the face of targeted advanced lie detection spells, this master-level stalker was caught simply and easily.

The whole process is absurd and funny.

But it makes many lurking masters feel fear.

They are very afraid of such places and such people.

Of course, Sword Master Hess also knew that the Gulf Territory's terrifying tactics against their enemies was what they feared most.

Some terrifying legends about the underground laboratory in the Gulf Territory have been secretly circulated.

Many unlucky trolls, because they could not bear such torture, chose to be honest and "obedient", receive "education", endure "training", change their "habits", participate in "death camps", and achieve enough achievements. , there is a very small chance of gaining freedom.

If there is any error in any link, or if you don't cooperate, you will be thrown directly back to that terrible "hell".

That's just the first level of hell!

In the underground world of the Gulf Territory, there are more terrifying laboratories and real hells!

After hearing these specious horror legends.

Even the Cole Elf scouts who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Shadow Council and the Kor Elf Kingdom are no longer willing to carry out the mission of in-depth exploration of the Gulf Territory.

Indeed, after the Gulf Territory captures the Cole elves, they will not suffer the fear of death.

But some things are really more terrifying than death!

Recalling the painful memories in the minds of the Cole Elf Dragon Warriors that were deliberately sealed by the Gulf Territory, after being researched and revealed by the Cole Elf Mages, even the Hess Sword Master couldn't help but shudder.

Faced with an unprecedented special enemy like the Gulf Territory, Sword Master Hess decided to use the highest-level arrangements to contain and target it.

Every force and cooperation partner that the Gulf Territory comes into contact with in the future may become a chess piece bribed by the Cole Elf.

"If we can't get rid of you, we'll get rid of you by getting rid of your allies!"

"Sometimes, if an opponent is too strong, then find some pig teammates who can't help him up the wall!"

The Cole elves' thousands of years of wisdom in doing things are the principles that Hess Sword Master believes in and the confidence to win.

Young civilizations will always pay a heavy price. They may not be able to learn any lessons, and they may even repeat the same mistakes again and again.

The Cole Elves have already defeated many powerful opponents through such means.

Now, it’s the Gulf Territory’s turn to face such “wisdom”!

"The lord has said that if you rely on everyone to run, you will be defeated by the mountain. To forge an iron, you need to be strong yourself. Don't rely too much on the performance of others."

Elio, who was originally in the Continent of Braves, looked at Sera who still had anger on her face, and couldn't help but continue teasingly:

"Freedom under rules and laws is the best protection for them."

"Be on guard against the evil nature of these guys at all times, strictly follow the staff's testing standards, and kill any moth you find."

Sera rubbed her temples, thinking about the pleading and repentant face in front of her just now, she sneered and nodded:

“Things that are too easy to obtain are often not analyzed.”

"The power granted by the Gulf Territory has never been for them to be idle."

"I haven't heard the screams of these idiots for a long time. Let those guys listen to them more later."

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so it didn't cause a big disaster."

Smiling and shrugging his shoulders, Elio flipped through the frontline battle report sent by the tauren commander and continued slowly:

"This is why the technology department will always update and strengthen technology."

"By making corruption more difficult at its root, we can greatly reduce the occurrence of such things."

"You don't have the legendary level of deception and eloquence, and you can avoid the supervision of public wealth investigations. In the end, you have to endure random inspections with fear, so that you can get your ticket to hell."

"People who can achieve this level are not idiots who want to take shortcuts."

"For those who seek death, the Territory will gladly accommodate their wishes."

Sera reorganized her thoughts and confirmed that this kind of thing would not have any bad effects. On the contrary, it would make everyone more convinced. She felt deeply about the wisdom of the lord.

With such well-executed and well-established systems, the future of the Gulf Territory will surely be brighter.

There was a little bit of expectation in Sera's eyes, and she asked Elio on the other side of the screen:

"How is the battle going over there, you guys? If it's not urgent, would you recommend sending a clone over to experience a different battlefield?"

After closing the information on the discovery of Icewind Dale, Elio shook his head and replied:

"We are preparing to develop the mining area. There are too many enemies and some are too busy."

"The main reason is that the soldiers are too militant. In order to avoid greater casualties, they must be restrained."

Sighing with deep sympathy, Sera nodded helplessly as she recalled the temporary workers under her command who were trying to "earn enough" as early as possible.

"Yes, we should take good care of them. There are still many days to come..."

March 10th.

Desert of death.

Gulf Territory Controlled Area.

heavy rain.

The rare raindrops hit the fields with a "lush" sound.

The clear and crystal water drops are absorbed by the dry clay, dyeing their light yellow color darker.

The cracked ground closed quietly after drinking enough water, feeling temporarily satisfied.

The large and tender seedlings, after being moistened by the rain again, got rid of the sluggishness just now and became full of vitality.

After confirming that the status of these demonized cacti had been restored, Matthew slowly put down his staff and turned his head to meet a pair of expectant eyes.

"The simplified Rainfall Technique can be released through a simpler method."

"The next thing everyone needs to study is the requirements and conditions for releasing the falling rain spell, and how to create magic props that regularly release the falling rain spell."

Feeling the very friendly magic element in the air, Yaya carefully recalled Matthew's spell just now, but his eyes unconsciously went astray.

The wide-eyed Liana was writing and drawing quickly, which immediately attracted Yaya's attention.

Learning the results directly is just as effective!

Matthew wasn't too pushy about Yaya's ideas.

Yaya doesn’t have the patience for keen research.

Matthew just wanted Yaya to understand.

Don't be like other/her true dragons who just think about how to sleep or satisfy their fetishes and desires every day.

It is enough to keep learning and become stronger in the process.

After all, Yaya has quite good talents in "execution" and "bringing".

The best performer among the several "students" was not Lianna, who was extremely talented, nor Shu You, who had transferred to an arcanist profession, but Li, who was growing at a rapid rate.

There was a light mist surrounding her, and according to her control, it was forming a relatively simple model of the falling rain spell array.

A cloud of more than ten meters in size appeared on the farmland not far away.

The drizzle of rain fell lightly with the wind.

There was a little surprise in Li's eyes, and the light golden light became more and more attractive.

Li's induction and control of the water element.

Giving her a unique advantage in this regard.

Since Li received all the training from Matthew, his strength has improved rapidly.

Now, Li has become a level 10 Dragon Vein Warlock and a level 6 Arcanist.

Matthew naturally agreed with Li's idea of ​​becoming an arcanist part-time.

This is how Bay Territory trains talented players.

There is no rush to fully activate their talents, but focus on independent learning and growth.

For the development of bloodline power, it is more about control and in-depth understanding to ensure that one can fully master these powers.

Only in this way can these geniuses not suddenly fall into the embarrassing situation of rapidly increasing strength, but their thinking and control have not yet caught up.

After all, there are too many examples of geniuses falling, or suffering blows and failing to recover.

Both Matthew and the territory hope that they can lay a solid foundation, break through their own limits, and get rid of the constraints and dependence on the power of blood.

There is a successful demonstration of Li.

Liana soon got the hang of it.

She carefully sensed the water elements in the air and let them slowly manifest the simplified spell model according to her own wishes.

Yaya, who had successfully "looked" at her, laughed out loud, and several white clouds the size of fists began to move around her.

Even under the control of Yaya, it turned into the exact same shape as Xiao Menglan.

Little Menglan's eyes widened in excitement, she sprayed out a crystal spray, flapped her tail and chased the clouds, muttering softly:

"I want to learn this, I want to learn this."

Talent is real, and Shu You has long been mentally prepared for it.

She was not able to directly perceive the thin water element in the air of the Death Desert like Li and Liana.

She chose the most basic method of casting spells, outlined the spell model step by step, activated the mana in her body to materialize it, and then let it react with the water element in the environment.

A cloud of trumpets appeared in the air, and a bright smile appeared on Shu You's face.

"Wow, everyone is so awesome."

"To reward everyone for their success, let's have roast suckling pig tonight!"

Yaya, who likes to take advantage of every opportunity, will not miss any opportunity to taste delicious food, with cute big eyes twinkling.

It was obvious that Yaya was thinking about what snacks and side dishes would taste better together with the roasted suckling pig.

Shu You, who was quite happy, nodded. Orianna, who was a little dazed next to her, opened her eyes immediately after hearing the words "roast suckling pig".

Her consciousness had already emerged from the laboratory, waving her little hands excitedly and voting in favor.

Feeling the youth and vitality of these people, Matthew turned his head and winked at the running old John.

The experienced old John, thinking of the current time, immediately shouted loudly:

"It's dinner time. Dinner will be served soon. What do you want to eat?"

Seeing that he had reached his own territory, Yaya immediately became stunned and cheerfully pointed out the name of the dish with his fingers.

Xiao Menglan was even more happy, controlling a large cloud and mist, dragging the big guy back together.

Old John sent a message to the kitchen. Looking at their retreating figures, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said in a serious tone and tone:

"A large number of distorted dragon-born monsters are coming towards our territory..."

"They are currently 180 kilometers away from the territory and are expected to arrive early tomorrow morning."

"They seem ready to travel through the night!"

Aberrant dragonborn monster?

Rushing under the scarlet moon?

"If you are so unrestrained, you will definitely fall into the hands of the Scarlet Moon..."

"Or is it just to disgust the Gulf Territory?"

"If it's 180 kilometers, the target may not necessarily be our Gulf Territory..."

"However, we must be on guard!"

Matthew couldn't help but said "Smash it", his eyes swept across the field ridge in the distance, took a deep breath and said:

"Let the adventurers take action and remind them to pay attention to the sky."

"Once you find traces of the real dragon, immediately hide on the spot and send out a signal."

Old John nodded, not feeling that this order was cruel.

The adventurers themselves also know that adventures in the Death Desert are inherently dangerous.

Gulf Consulting will offer a super high price and provide the fastest support.

As for the rest, it depends on their own ability and luck.

Old John hesitated for a while, noticed that Matthew did not give any other orders, and immediately realized that the lord had other plans.

The special combat mission immediately spread among the adventurers.

When they learned about their opponent's situation, not only did they not have any fear, but they were extremely excited.

Just as Old John thought, the price of the bay is very high, enough for everyone to sacrifice their lives.

Of course, the Gulf Territory will not let adventurers die, and has prepared many things for them.

"Beauty over there, come and take a look, this is a good thing, a purification enchantment scroll specially prepared for deformed monsters."

"Not only can it cause additional damage to deformed monsters, but it can also remove possible contamination encountered by itself."

"How to use it? This is easy. In the middle of the battle, just cut yourself lightly..."

"Handsome guy over there, come here and take a look, take a look!"

"The enchanted weapons and equipment matching the purification enchantment scroll are on sale at a cheap price!"

"The most popular enchanted crossbow in the Bay Territory, and the matching armor-piercing crossbow..."

"Everyone, come here quickly, the price is cheap and affordable..."

Big Fat and Big Strong, who have received training in bay collar skills, are no longer the same as they were back then.

Many young adventurers couldn't help but take out gold coins amid the handsome guys and beauties among them.

However, the things they sell are indeed very practical and can restrain their opponents. The adventurers who buy them will be very satisfied.

Before the battle even started, the Gulf Territory had collected a considerable amount of funds.

Adventurers also received better weapons and equipment.

Isn’t this a win-win situation?

"Well, wait for them to contact the enemy first and harvest some of the loot."

"If we do some processing on it, we can sell it for more than 5 times the "conscience" price and make at least 300% profit."

After carefully calculating the "combat costs", Jifan finally had a smile on his face.

Now, Jifan finally understands the truth that "the territory must not be walked on only one leg", and has more insights into the development of the territory.

Fighting is essential!

A moderate amount of fighting is beneficial to the development of the territory.

Of course, all this has a premise, which is not to engage in meaningless battles.

The meaning of the Gulf Territory includes the development of the territory, the acquisition of resources, fighting against enemies, and resisting dangers.

The Gulf Territory will not actively attack other people's territory unless the other party is an enemy.

They believe more in the beautiful life they create rather than plundering everywhere.

Doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing is a belief that is engraved in the hearts of every Bay leader.

Next to her, Laura looked curiously at the enchanted crossbow given to her by Jifan, and asked without thinking:

"Do you need me to complete any tasks?"

Shaking his head slightly, Jifan thought about the task assigned by the lord, hesitated for a while and then said:

"We are not involved in the mission, we are just observing the enemy's situation and collecting as much intelligence as possible for the next battle."

Hearing Jiho's words, Laura nodded thoughtfully, looked at the concealing cloak on her body, and asked expectantly:

"Then let's set off. It's been so long since we've been adventuring and we haven't seen a real dragon. What does it look like?"

Jifan naturally would not tell her about Yaya. After nodding, he turned and walked towards the action team on the side.

At midnight.

The army of aberrations approaching the center of the Death Desert has reached a position about 100 kilometers away from the Gulf Territory.

They are numerous and look different.

It feels like it has received the influence of "Dragon Madness Lock" and the distortion superposition state of the scarlet moon.

Such a strange opponent is a very dangerous attempt for most adventurers.

However, after receiving the "education" of adventure in the Gulf Territory, today's adventurers have become much "slicker".

They became less reckless than before, but carefully observed the detailed classification of these aberrant monsters under the bloody moonlight.

"Even deformed monsters will have different distortion directions..."

"Don't look at their body shape, but focus mainly on their distorted organs."

"There are not many aberration monsters using long-range attacks on site, but once they appear, they will be a huge trouble and need to be solved first."

"The next step is to deal with those aberrations that move faster. This will free up more attack time and a safe distance."

"In the end, there are many weapons and methods to choose from to deal with large and clumsy monsters..."

The adventurers did not take the initiative to attack.

They are waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap first and reduce their numbers in advance.

Most aberrant monsters are irrational.

He plunged headlong into a trap buried under the yellow sand.

Poof!

Gulu!

The fastest group of aberrant monsters fell.

They fell into a deep trench.

The pitch-black turbid liquid exuded a pungent smell.

The deformed monster struggled to get up from the liquid. Before it could escape the trap, deadly fire roared from the distance.

Whoops!

Violent flames spurted out from the trench.

Most of the dragon-born creatures that entered the deformed state did not have any fear of flames and rushed over blankly.

They were quickly ignited and burned to a crisp in the blazing flames.

The remaining aberrant monsters did not stop, and continued to rush forward as if they were dead.

The adventurers felt more at ease now. When dealing with aberrant monsters without intelligence, the dangers encountered would naturally be reduced a lot.

The adventurers did not stay too long and carefully observed the aberrant dragonborn flying through the sky, as well as the behemoths that barged directly in.

After obtaining valuable information, they quickly chose to retreat.

Right now it's just a trial, the real attack is yet to come.

"Team 2 continues to dig traps and lay heavy fire oil."

"Remember to do it underground to avoid being seen by enemies in the sky."

While commanding the engineering golem to retreat, Alice made combat arrangements for the adventurer team.

Special adventurers will keep statistics on the number of casualties caused by the activation of this wave of traps.

The distribution of contributions will also be handled by dedicated personnel.

It may be very difficult for a large number of adventurers to engage in cooperative battles elsewhere.

But for Gulf leaders, there are already many examples and experiences to learn from.

"About 3,000 aberrant dragonborn were killed, and the number of enemies was still 70,000..."

"There are also about 500 flying monsters and about 700 large dragonborn..."

"The second batch of enemies to follow, numbering more than 300,000, are still 20 kilometers away from the forward army..."

"..."

Various information was transmitted to every adventurer's watch, giving them an extraordinary feeling.

Alice decisively updated her next strategy and flexibly directed the adventurers by checking the situation on the magic image map.

She did not dare to let the adventurers concentrate too much to avoid attracting the wrath of the real dragon.

Once the opponent chooses to take action, most adventurers have no possibility of escaping.

The opponent is a blue dragon!

This is a desert!

The blue dragon is the king of the desert!

Best at digging sand and making holes!

However, Alice had a vague idea in her heart.

"I hope the blue dragon will show up in advance so that we can know more about it..."

The battle is all about information and trump cards!

Interestingly, Kalecgos had no intention of taking action.

The adventurers guarded against the aberrant dragonborn all night, killing more than 20,000 aberrant dragonborn, but in the end they did not wait for the blue dragon to show up.

Most of the adventurers breathed a sigh of relief.

They are not just newbies who dream of slaying dragons and becoming heroes overnight.

As long as the adventurer has experienced a few battles.

Especially when fighting dragon-blooded creatures and dragonborns, you will understand the huge gap between the two sides.

It’s even more exaggerated than them hunting rabbits!

After receiving this information, Laura looked at the sun slowly rising in the sky. Not only did she not feel any fatigue, but she also had a little regret in her eyes.

Looking at her calmly, Jifan lamented her "boldness" and "ignorance".

He sent the battlefield information back to the rear and patiently said to Laura:

"Let's go rest first. Adventurers during the day will be more careful and cautious."

"If there is an irresistible danger, their probability of survival will be greater."

Lola also thought so. Although she didn't know Kalecgos's purpose, she knew that the best battlefield for him was at night under the scarlet moonlight.

That would amplify adventurers' fear of it several times more than during the day.

However, Laura was quite curious about the reaction of the Bay Leader.

It seems that the Gulf Territory has been waiting for the other party to appear!

Could it be said that the Gulf Territory is really capable of fighting a legendary dragon?

Bay City.

Underground Experimental Research Laboratory.

Matthew looked through the battle information and quickly put the report aside.

Right now, in front of him, there was an operation going on.

The experimental subject has fallen into a coma and is waiting for drug recovery.

Matthew looked at the data repeatedly and shook his head with some regret.

Even though the experimental subject has extraordinary self-healing abilities and has been controlled by a special state, it is still unable to strengthen its kidneys under the guidance of the power wash.

However, Matthew was not discouraged and continued to collect data carefully to prepare for emergencies if the operation failed and to prepare for subsequent operations and first aid.

Thanks to Cole Elf's secret work, Matthew will naturally use the Cole Elf experimental body to take action first.

There is also a more important reason, the Cole elves who are born with higher energy affinity.

They can have a greater chance of completing the second kidney strengthening experiment.

Matthew adjusted the method bit by bit, and strengthened the steps bit by bit.

Most of the Cole Elf subjects who underwent surgery were basically able to walk off the operating table alive, but occasionally some parts were missing.

Fortunately, they all already have extraordinary self-healing abilities and can lie in a nutrient dish for slow and painful repairs.

I have completed about fifty operations and figured out most of the problems that will arise during the transformation process.

Matthew is also basically familiar with various emergencies during the entire operation.

He just began to use the power of fate to perfect and strengthen each surgical process bit by bit.

Matthew's idea is very simple. He strives for perfection in every step of the experimental surgery.

This can basically eliminate the influence of unexpected situations and make the overall effect of the surgery go in the desired direction.

The effect of the power of destiny is quite outstanding.

When Matthew was undergoing the 132nd surgical modification, he saw the effect of kidney strengthening when dealing with the details of kidney strengthening.

Therefore, Matthew devoted more energy to conduct more in-depth "research" on the details of kidney enhancement.

About 4 days passed.

Thousands of Cole Elf experimental subjects have been passed through.

Matthew finally obtained the first experimental subject with successful surgery!

However, the emergence of super-powerful kidneys has brought considerable burden and pressure to other internal organs of this experimental subject.

It was unable to achieve a stable equilibrium, as was the case in Matthew's body.

Therefore, the second difficulty that hindered Matthew from popularizing and promoting super kidneys finally revealed its true face.

Matthew, who had made a breakthrough, put the screaming experimental subject into a cage where time stopped, and did not continue the experiment.

"Sometimes, don't keep digging into a blind corner, look at the problem from another direction, and you may get better results."

This was not the comfort Matthew gave himself, but the news finally came from Jifan’s observation team:

"Kalegos has taken action! It finally appears!"

Matthew can’t wait to collect the “data” on it!

A legendary blue dragon, its internal organs should be very strong, right?
