Red Dragon Emperor

ten years later.

In the deepest part of Bloodtooth Mine, Molten Core, in the lava lake with bubbling bubbles and white smoke, a small piece of land looks like a snake's head protruding into the water. The golden light on the snake's head is like a mountain of gold.

In this pile of gold, there are coin-shaped human kingdom gold coins, gold nuggets smelted into blocks, and scattered dog-head gold. It is a solid gold mountain, which is the treasure of the dragon.

Quiet~.

Suddenly, without anyone's touch, a small amount of gold coins piled on the top of the gold mountain slipped and hit other gold nuggets along the way, making a pleasant ding-ding sound.

"call!"

The gold nugget slid down to reveal a huge exhalation nostril, which is so big that a basketball can be stuffed in it, which shows how huge its owner's body is.

Gradually, the sound of breathing became more frequent and more stable, and the sleeping giant woke up slowly. With the sound of the gold nuggets falling, he raised his head from the shocking golden mountain and stood up.

It was a thirteen-meter-long juvenile red dragon that was equivalent to four cars lined up in a row. He was still a little confused because he just woke up from a deep sleep.

But soon, Jose woke up and looked at his sleeping body.

Compared with before he fell asleep, his body was much larger, his bones were longer, and his original muscles were also stretched, which made him look much thinner.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is sufficient food supply, it won't take long to return to the state of muscle swelling and clear boundaries before sleeping.

Thinking of this, he recalled the delicacies cooked by the halfling chef, and couldn't help but feel hungry, so he immediately notified his family members to send food through the spiritual connection.

Looking down at his thinned body again, Jose had a whim.

"If those guys who were desperate to lose weight in the previous life knew that I could lose weight by sleeping, would they be so angry that they would have a cerebral hemorrhage~"

Pushing the strange thoughts out of his mind, Jose couldn't wait to experiment with the new magic he got during his deep sleep, and quickly uttered the spell in his mouth.

A fireball the size of a wheel condensed into the dragon's claws, and the surrounding air was illusory and distorted by the high temperature. He threw the formed fireball into the lava lake.

Boom!

The fireball hit the surface of the lava lake, and a small mushroom cloud rose with a loud explosion, and the lava splashed in all directions. It was the high-level magic——Pyroexplosion.

But it wasn't the explosive flame technique that was cast with the help of [Lurence's Rod], but he cast it with his own strength.

Every time a big age is crossed, the dragon's spiritual power will be more mature, the body will accumulate more and more magic power, and the ability to cast spells will also make leaps and bounds, and the adolescent stage is the beginning of the awakening of high-level magic stage.

Generally speaking, ordinary red dragons will only start to awaken high-level magic in their middle and late teens, but Jose has awakened from the very beginning.

However, the number of high-level magics he has awakened is very small, there are only three in total, the first is the explosive fire technique, the second is the lava armor, and the third is the summoning magic - the fire element summoning.

To be honest, the three high-level magics are a bit small, but it doesn't matter, as time goes by, he will awaken more and more powerful magics.

With a thought in Jose's mind, some green data appeared on his retina.

Name: Francisco Trinidad Jose

[Race]: Red Dragon (Youth)

[Abilities]: Phoenix Heart (S), Jinkela (F), Data Vision (F), Protagonist Halo (F), Smart Brain (D)

...

[Comprehensive Combat Power]: 231

All of this is not because he has awakened a system, but the ability brought by the new statue-[Intelligent Brain].

A few years ago, Jose asked the green dragon, Olivia, to unify the monster tribes in the Mordo Peak Forest area. From the beginning to the end of this operation, he never appeared, but hid behind the scenes, which allowed him to unlock a new statue.

The statue on the base is a brain squeezed together like curved fat intestines, and this brain is the intelligent brain.

[Smart Brain]: D

[Behind the scenes]

You push a feat, and the outside world doesn't know about it.

—Brute force without intelligence is worthless.

Wisdom Brain, as the name suggests, is a passive skill like [Protagonist Halo], which greatly improves Jose's quick thinking and responsiveness.

Not only that, [Intelligent Brain] can also be combined with [Data-based Vision] to complement each other and play the effect of one plus one greater than two. It is only a basic practice of photographic memory, and it can also play an effect similar to a smart chip.

But it's just like...

This function has a serious flaw, that is, the energy consumed by thinking is Jose's own mental and physical strength, which causes Jose to have a splitting headache once the function runs for too long.

Even so, this is a very useful ability. Using this ability and the knowledge of spellcasters collected through the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce, Jose's spellcasting ability has improved rapidly. Even without relying on the inheritance of the dragon, he can now cast intermediate spells. magic.

At this time, there was movement from the entrance of the Molten Core, and Jose looked up, and found that a kobold servant was walking over carrying food.

The servants were not allowed to set foot on the passage to the treasure house. They stopped on the specially dug platform in front of the snake's head protruding into the lava lake, and Jose walked over quickly.

Over the past ten years, with the continuous development of various industries, Jose's living standard and quality of life have also become higher and higher.

All kinds of ingredients produced in their own territory, and delicacies from all over the continent exchanged through commercial activities, are carefully cooked by halfling chefs and placed on the table of Red Dragon.

The main meal this time was a whole yak. ​​The internal organs of the yak were hollowed out, various spices were stuffed into the abdomen, the hair was shaved off, the hair was smeared with oil, and buried in a pit of red-hot stones to cook.

In addition, there are wild antelopes, domestic pigs raised by wild boars, fish from the Volga River, and seafood purchased from the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce and the Conch Chamber of Commerce...

Without exception, the table is full of meat.

Perhaps because of his body turning into a red dragon, although Jose could eat vegetables, he didn't like them.

"Hiss hiss~."

There was a hissing sound behind him, Jose didn't even look at it, he grabbed a roasted wild boar and threw it back, and then the sound of a large group of petrified lizards snatching food rang out.

It may be inappropriate to call them basilisks now, but salamanders.

At the beginning of his conquest of the Bloodtooth Mine, Jose got a brood of petrified lizard eggs, hatched them and kept them with him. Since they were infected with Jose's red dragon breath since childhood, these little petrified lizards were naturally close to Jose.

Later, Jose dug a nine-ring spiral staircase down from the dragon's nest, moved to live in Molten Core, and brought these petrified lizards down.

As a result, under the influence of the real dragon and living in a place with plenty of fire elements for a long time, the petrified lizards accumulated a large amount of fire elements and mutated.

The scales on the body surface turned fiery red, and the rays emitted from the eyes were no longer stiff rays, but scorching rays.

The strength of the mutated Salamander has greatly increased, and the adult body has reached the peak of the middle level, and it has become closer to Jose, and has become his most loyal guard, and also the last line of defense in the place where the red dragon sleeps.
