The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon
#251 - The Temptation of Dragon Essence
When Audreys transforms into a High Elf, she can only use the physical abilities of a High Elf and her occasionally practiced level 4 mage skills.

Unless she chooses to transform into the Dragonkin form corresponding to the Ocean Wyrm, the power contained within the Ocean Wyrm bloodline is almost unusable in other forms. Forcibly using it would break her transformation.
However, the form that Attilan transforms into is different. Strictly speaking, this is not a Dragonkin with a dragon bloodline, but a completely new form created by fusing human and dragon bloodlines.
Attilan can use the power of the dragon bloodline in this form, and the form will not change in any way. There will be no situation where the human body cannot withstand the enormous power of the dragon.
This relatively perfect form is the result of his Druidic cultivation over the years.
Audreys stroked her chin and said:
"Your form is a bit like the offspring of Dragonkin and humans, but those people can't coordinate the power of the dragon and human bloodlines perfectly like you. Neither dragon nor human, without any aesthetic appeal."
Not to mention that kind of half-dragonkin, even the Snake People, a race originating from humans who obtained the power of a powerful snake demigod, will develop various forms during internal reproduction due to the different proportions of human and snake god bloodlines in their bodies.
For example, Snake People with snake heads and tails, covered in scales, and with complete limbs are the most common. There are also those who appear to be human, only possessing sporadic snake-like features, such as snake pupils and scales.
Then there are the rarest Snake People royalty, with the upper body of a pure human and the lower body of a snake tail, possessing the magical ability to transform into humans and giant snakes.
Snake People can actually be classified as beastmen, and so can Minotaurs. The first group of Minotaurs may have been humans from a certain country who offended a certain god.
They were cursed by the gods and turned into Minotaurs who retained their anger and cunning.
Since Attilan has recruited a variety of dependents, he naturally wouldn't leave them alone. Starting with the Totem War Dance, he has secretly conducted many experiments on his dependents.
For example, the Dragonkin transformation he is using now was developed by studying the Snake People royal bloodline in Ophelia's body and combining it with his own situation.
This is how he created thisโฆ useless form.
If he wants to fight, the dragon body of the Ocean Wyrm is definitely the best, but when communicating with certain beings, this Dragonkin form is quite useful.
For example, now that Audreys has transformed into a High Elf, he can't always keep her looking up at him while he maintains his dragon form.
But if Attilan lowers his head, wouldn't that make him seem very obsequious?
Therefore, a form that allows for equal communication is still necessary.
It must be said that the forms of all bipedal creatures are actually more flexible than the quadrupedal forms of dragons, after all, freeing up their hands during movement allows them to do more.
For example, now, Attilan can hold a wine glass while walking and talking with Audreys, pointing out the landscape.
"Miss Audreys, I heard that you have two older brothers above you. Will they jump out from some corner and compete with you for the position of leader of the Elemental Dragon United Front?"
Audreys smiled disdainfully.
"They, my two foolish brothers, are just like their mother, forever only knowing how to speak with force. Once they encounter a problem that cannot be solved by force, they will pay with their lives."
"Unfortunately, one of them has already paid this price."
Attilan's mouth twitched. Although you say 'unfortunately' and 'unfortunate,' the arc of your lips makes me think you're gloating.
"It seems they don't have the wisdom to rule the elemental dragons. Forcibly taking the position will probably not end well, and may even ruin Lord Sestis's plan."
"This matter concerns all of our elemental dragons and must not be sabotaged!"
Attilan's pupils shrank. He suddenly noticed a very faint mental fluctuation. What level is Audreys at? How could a strand of wine drip from her lips?
And it happened to run there. So that's how it is.
Audreys casually threw the delicate crystal glass into the lake.
"Interesting, you do have the potential to become my husband. Keep it up, don't disappoint me."
With that, Audreys winked at Attilan and left, twisting her graceful figure.
Until she disappeared from the banquet hall, the few fools who had chased after her earlier collided with each other and flew back, shouting nonsense.
"Get out of the way, Miss Audreys belongs to me!"
"You get out of the way! A Cloud Wyrm dares to compete with us!"
"Human over there, have you seen Miss Audreys?"
Attilan shook his head. He didn't want to talk to these fools at all.
"No."
No strength, no brains, no insight. I really don't know what the Swamp Wyrms brought them here for. Surely not as cannon fodder?
The fools unceremoniously stirred up a whirlwind, blowing at Attilan in front of them, completely disregarding that the other party might be a distinguished guest of Sestis and a powerful being they couldn't afford to provoke.
After the fools left, Attilan tidied his messy hair, took a glass of wine for himself, and returned the crystal glass.
He is not Audreys and cannot just discard the host's property.
When he usually drinks with Jiu Nu and the others, they use oak cups. This is the first time he has enjoyed such a delicate wine glass made of water element crystals.
He is poor. The gold and silver he earns are used to expand the strength of the Atlantean Kingdom. He wants to assemble the warriors under his command, whose numbers he hasn't even counted yet, and his income is not enough.
The armor made by the dwarves is indeed good, but it's expensive!
Ordinary black iron armor is not expensive, but after a full set of two hundred pounds of armor is worn on a Minotaur, and then a twenty-pound axe is picked up, the Minotaur will only be able to fight for two hours before panting heavily.
Dwarves not only have mithril, but they also have mythril. The so-called mythril is actually an iron-based alloy they developed, with high defense and light weight.
Black iron armor, 200 pounds, defense +10; secret iron armor, 150 pounds, defense +15. Which would you choose?
Of course, Attilan wanted to choose secret iron, even mithril armor. It wasn't that he didn't want it, but it was too expensive!
Not to mention secret iron, even ordinary black iron armor, Attilan couldn't afford to equip all 30,000 of his current warriors with a set.
These 30,000 warriors all had a certain amount of training and were mostly veterans with battlefield experience. They were the foundation of Attilan's control over such a large territory.
Without them, even if Attilan was a dragon, he wouldn't be able to control such a large area of land.
Land needs people to cultivate it and create value to have meaning.
Those four idiots from before, their territory might have been even larger than Attilan's, but what's the point of a large uninhabited area? Looting is the least efficient, slowest way to make money, and the riskiest.
But some lazy and stupid dragons prefer to adopt such methods.
Vine Woman appeared from who knows where.
"Attilan, are you really planning to participate in the Elemental Dragon United Front that Sestus is building?"
Attilan's eyes looked deeply through the crystal floor at the slowly flowing lake beneath his feet.
"Otherwise what? I'm also an elemental dragon. Did you think that after they kill Sestus and the others, they'll let me go? It's just a matter of convenience."
"Prop up the Sestus banner and let it last as long as possible. If this banner can stand, that would naturally be even better."
"The universe is large and can accommodate many dragon gods, but the universe is also small and cannot accommodate too many dragons."
Vine Woman touched his dragon horns.
"Don't mention it, you really do look good like this. No wonder Audreys was moved by you."
Attilan pretended to be shy and took a step back.
"Teacher, you saw everything?"
Vine Woman revealed a knowing smile.
"I've actually been here the whole time, but you were too focused and didn't notice me."
Vine Woman was skilled in fairy magic. Just now, she might have used some kind of magic to make him and Audreys ignore her existence.
The protagonist always appears last. After all the guests had arrived, Sestus finally dragged his hundred-meter-long dragon body over, accompanied by Audreys, who had arrived at some point.
90-year-old Audreys was 16 meters long, which was actually larger than she should have been at her age. Although her cultivation wasn't as good as Attilan's in terms of making the most of every day,
she was definitely not a purely naturally developed dragon.
One-on-one, Attilan felt that he probably couldn't beat Audreys.
"Everyone, I'm honored that you could come to my daughter's birthday party."
Sestus didn't maintain his huge dragon body the whole time. Otherwise, the strong dragon aura emanating from his dragon body would have made it impossible to hold the entire banquet. The fish-man servants present couldn't withstand such a strong dragon aura.
Even though Sestus had already restrained himself.
He transformed into a high elf and sat on the crystal throne. Audreys also sat on another, slightly smaller throne beside him.
Everyone began to offer gifts. As Attilan expected, these guys all gave gems, pearls, and the like.
Only a few elven mages offered magical items they had made.
It was the same sentence: the protagonist appears last.
Attilan confidently chose to give his gift last.
Seeing him, Audreys, who was tired of the repetitive gifts, perked up and jokingly said:
"If you also give gems or something, you can take them back."
Attilan smiled slightly.
"I guarantee Miss Audreys will be satisfied."
When he took out the cloud bed that could change size from his dimensional pocket, Audreys' eyes lit up.
"This is?"
"As you can see, a bed."
The Mountain Wyrm from the four idiots couldn't help but laugh.
"Giving a bed? What's the idea? Does Miss Audreys lack a bed?"
"This isn't an ordinary bed. This is a bed made of clouds, and it can also fit Miss Audreys' sleeping habits, making you feel comfortable and at ease. Most importantly, this bed can convert various energies into life dragon power."
"That's right, it's the kind that we ocean dragons need most."
Audreys touched the emerald green dragon bed.
"Not bad, I like it very much."
Hearing the words "ocean dragon," the surrounding elemental dragons showed surprised expressions. It had been many years since they had heard that word.
Sestus was also very satisfied. Attilan's mention of "ocean dragon" was a good lead-in to what he was going to say next.
"Not bad, ocean dragon, I also like your name. Everyone, how many years has it been since we've been living under the name of wyrm? But what's the result?"
"The number of our elemental dragons is still decreasing. Escape is death, and resistance is also death. For the future of the elemental dragons, are you willing to give your lives?"
"I will establish the Elemental Dragon United Front in this world. From today onwards, all elemental dragons who join this organization will restore their original titles. We are noble dragons, and even in death, we must hold our heads high!"
"Of course, I won't let everyone risk their lives for nothing. Everyone should have heard some news about the Dragon God Trial and the Dragon God Treasure. I'm lucky. When I was wandering in the elemental realm, I really found something left behind by the Elemental Dragon God."
"The method of making Dragon God Essence!"
Hearing "Dragon God Essence," the eyes of all the elemental dragons, elemental wyrms, and elemental dragonkin present became fanatical.
An old Mountain Wyrm asked excitedly:
"Is it the Dragon God Essence that can turn dragonkin into wyrms, wyrms into dragons, dragons into elemental dragon kings, and elemental dragon kings into subordinate gods of the Elemental Dragon God!?"
Sestus nodded firmly and directly took out a blue gem.
"Everyone, please look, this is the Dragon God Essence that I have refined according to the method! As long as you make outstanding contributions to the United Front, I will not be stingy with Dragon God Essence as a reward."
Not to mention the other elemental dragons, even Attilan was a little envious, but he quickly calmed down and felt a little cold.
Since Dragon God Essence had been taken out, Attilan was a little worried about how long Sestus could last.
"Everyone, I want to ask you, how long has it been since you saw an ancient dragon among the elemental dragons? At the ancient dragon stage, our elemental dragons can live for at least a thousand years, but what about it?"
"Have you seen them?"
The oldest Thunder Dragon ancient dragon said after a moment of silence:
"The last time I saw an ancient elemental dragon seemed to be when I was a child, a young dragon, when I saw an ancient cloud dragon. Thinking about it now, it's been almost a thousand years."
"Damn it, they still haven't given up on suppressing us!"
Sestus looked at the Thunder Dragon.
"All ancient dragons have the potential to take that step. Naturally, they won't leave any hidden dangers. I remember you, old brother, you should be about to enter the ancient dragon stage, right?"
The Thunder Dragon nodded.
"That's right, there are only a few years left. What do you want to say?"
