The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

The thought that even the Elemental Dragon God had spent five hundred years to refine the Supreme Dragon Soul instantly calmed Attilan's burning heart. He couldn't rush things; the bigger the undertaking, the more he needed to keep a level head.

He couldn't rush things, Attilan figured he'd be successful if he could refine the Supreme Dragon Soul within five hundred years, even though the Elemental Dragon God had spent five hundred years creating the secret technique and cultivating it.

But could he compare to the Elemental Dragon God?

His current realm and strength were not even one ten-thousandth of the Elemental Dragon God's when he created the Supreme Dragon Soul secret technique. If he could refine it in five hundred years, Attilan felt he was already making an exaggerated claim.

If he disassembled the ancient dragon纹 related to ocean drakes and allowed Audreys to refine them into her Dragon Pearl, wouldn't her Dragon Pearl gradually become a new Ocean Dragon Soul?

At the thought of soon understanding the most ancient power secrets of the Elemental Dragons, Attilan couldn't help but want to continue using his mental power to peer into the sapphire.

Unfortunately, his strength was still a bit low, and the speed of translating the ancient dragon紋 was quite slow. Even with the part related to the ocean dragon紋, Attilan felt that he wouldn't be able to translate it in less than a month.

Fortunately, in the process of learning the ancient dragon紋, he would slowly improve his mental resistance to the dragon紋's erosion. Now he could only interpret for one hour a day.

He could also practice the dragon紋 he had interpreted. Although he had not successfully completed writing the dragon紋 symbolizing the water element just now, the power of the dragon紋 still impacted his dragon body and dragon soul in the process of writing.

Constantly writing dragon紋 could improve his strength.

In just one month, he would be able to interpret the ocean dragon紋 part. By that time, he would be able to interpret at least two hours of dragon紋 a day!

After analyzing the ocean dragon紋, he could also use this part of the dragon紋 to refine his Dragon Pearl. The improvement in the quality of the Dragon Pearl would also drive the improvement of his soul and mental power.

Using dragon紋 to cast spells was indeed more direct to the essence than Druid casting, and the efficiency of mobilizing energy and the power released with the same amount of energy would be greater with dragon紋 casting.

Most importantly, dragon紋 casting really didn't require any materials at all.

In an environment shrouded by the natural magic net, Druids could cast spells without materials, but in the absence of a natural magic net, they still had to rely on various materials to assist in casting, and the power would be weakened.

No wonder everyone liked to stay in the forest. Once they got used to the stable and pure natural energy provided by the natural magic net, who would be willing to go to areas where natural energy was scarce and chaotically surging.

Attilan was even a little worried that they would fall into a state of magic addiction due to the difference in power and the feeling of weakness.

Fortunately, the Bearman had been consciously limiting the concentration of energy in the forest. When the energy concentration rose to the red line set by the Bearman, he would use the magical animals and plants in the energy nodes arranged in the forest to absorb it.

Or transfer the natural energy to where it was needed, such as tacitly allowing Attilan to draw a line to guide the energy of the forest to the wasteland.

In the past, this part of the energy would be sent to the Northland Kingdom and the Halfling Territory to make the local vegetation grow more luxuriantly and the animals stronger. At the same time, creatures that consumed these animals and plants would more easily awaken Druid talents.

After two hundred years of unremitting efforts by the Bearman, the most numerous professionals in the Northland Kingdom today are Rangers and Druids.

Rangers are magic-martial dual cultivation professions, but they are more inclined to physical bow and arrow output, so they are more universally favored and chosen. The difficulty of learning Druid spells and the rarity of materials make people limited by poverty give up becoming Druids.

Originally, Attilan also wanted to train the students with Druid talents in the Druid Academy into Druid professionals, but after the Tavern Mistress provided him with a rough estimate of the cost required to train a level 5 professional.

Attilan decisively chose to let those with lower natural affinity and higher physical talent among them become Rangers, and those with lower talent in both aspects were trained as Elemental Shamans.

In every village and town under Attilan's rule, there are totem poles that communicate with the elements. Less affluent areas only have the totem pole corresponding to the most active element in the area.

Wealthy towns are equipped with earth, wind, water, and fire totem poles. Shamans can use totem poles to cast spells. The power is not strong, and the casting speed is slow, but the advantage is low consumption.

It is simply a boon for those Elemental Shamans with poor talent, little room for improvement, and a high probability of not being able to reach level 5 in their lifetime.

Coupled with the management knowledge and herbal knowledge learned in the Druid Academy, they can barely secure a small leadership position in the town. The position of maternal and child care officer should be able to be held for a lifetime.

With more effort, there is still a chance to become the mayor.

It is precisely because the Tavern Mistress sends excellent students with the potential to become Druids or Rangers to the towns for internships that they are more aware of how rare this opportunity is.

The resources of the forest are limited, especially since the forest is about to have a third legendary Druid. The extra energy in the forest is used to support the old naughty boy who is being promoted, plus the return of a group of old Druids.

The resources that the forest can use to cultivate newcomers are further reduced.

Although warriors will have various embarrassing situations in combat in the later stages, it must be admitted that one advantage of warriors is that the cost of training warriors is the lowest.

The Leopard Woman stared curiously at the sapphire in Attilan's hand.

I heard that you got such a good treasure as soon as you opened the teleportation gate. Why didn't I encounter such a good thing when I communicated with the Shadow Plane?

Attilan put away the sapphire and said jokingly:

Maybe it's because your Shadow Leopard transformation is not professional enough and has not been recognized by the shadow creatures, and the Shadow Plane is much poorer than the Water Elemental Plane.

Even if those shadow creatures want to give you something good, they can't find anything to give away even if they search their whole body.

The Leopard Woman turned into anger from embarrassment and pounced on Attilan.

Attilan!

Attilan just waved his hand lightly, and a water ball formed out of thin air to wrap the Leopard Woman. The stagnant water flow made the Leopard Woman's hands and feet almost lose the ability to move.

Everyone, how is my water prison spell?

He didn't forget to give the Leopard Woman underwater breathing to prevent the Leopard Woman from being suffocated by this water prison spell.

Seeing that brute force could not break free from the water's restraint, the Leopard Woman could only mobilize the ocean dragon magic power in her body. Several cyan dragon scales grew on the Leopard Woman's cheeks.

The water ball quickly surged on its own, and finally exploded suddenly, and the Leopard Woman regained her freedom.

The Eagle King scanned with his mental power again and again, and finally frowned and asked:

What kind of spell is this? Why didn't I feel any casting traces at all?

Attilan pointed to his feet and said with a smile:

You think there are no casting traces, but in fact there are full of casting traces. It's just that you are in this energy field, so you didn't notice any traces.

The bear man placed his hands on the ground, sensing the rhythm of the earth element, and said in surprise, "This isn't the energy field of the magic farm we arranged, it's another energy field arranged by Artlan, using a kind of rune I don't understand."

"I feel a trace of dragon's breath, it should be a unique rune of the elemental dragon."

Artlan looked at the bear man in surprise. He used all the learning results of the past few days in order to punish this group of people for vacationing while he was diligently transporting water elements.

Therefore, he carved these dragon patterns, just wanting them to feel how wonderful the sea is, especially the leopard woman who suggested sightseeing along the way, she needs to be punished the most.

The Eagle King also curiously leaned down and placed his hand on the ground to sense it.

"How did you do it?"

"This is the result of my learning these days, amazing, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. When this kind of rune is running, there isn't much energy fluctuation, which is much better than the set of runes they are currently using.

"Can you teach us?"

Artlan shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid not, the learning requirements for this kind of rune are very high. Don't even mention you, even Audrey, the ocean wyvern, hasn't learned it."

Artlan pointed to Audrey in the distance, who had turned back into an ocean wyvern and was silently trying to carve dragon patterns.

"Because of the help of a senior, the energy needed to activate the magic farm has been stored. Although I also want to transport more water elements to the desert, learning dragon patterns is the most important thing for me now."

"Therefore, after activating the magic circle of the farm, I will retreat to practice!"

A murderous aura emanated from the wine woman's eyes.

"So, you're planning to leave another plan and then leave everything to us to deal with, while you hide in a corner and practice quietly again?"

Artlan felt the burning gazes of everyone and quickly waved his hand and said:

"Of course not, because my time to interpret dragon patterns every day is limited. In addition to the regular practice and practicing the dragon patterns that have already been interpreted, I actually have some time to deal with those regular affairs."

"For example, the detailed vocational training of students in the Druid School. I think we should increase the training and investment in warrior professions. What we need is not a fool who only knows how to charge."

"But a qualified battlefield commander, logistics support officer, and local garrison officer."

Cultivating warriors not only requires low investment, but also the Council of Nature will inevitably face trials and attacks from other forces. The most practical profession on the battlefield is actually the warrior.

Mages rely on their own magic power to leverage the magic power in the natural environment to cast spells. Therefore, when a group of mages gathers together, there will be a situation of competing for wild energy.

At this time, the power of everyone's spells will decrease.

Moreover, the warrior's most irreplaceable advantage is quantity!

"The students' talents determine that not everyone is a genius. For those students who can't even be warriors, we should consider how their future lives should proceed."

"Although you also know that I covet the land of the Northern Kingdom, the civil war in the Northern Kingdom has just broken out. It will take a few more years before it is time for me to take down the Northern Kingdom."

"In the process of the two sides fighting, it will definitely lead to the destruction of a large number of families and the birth of a large number of orphans. I have sent people to gather those orphans as much as possible."

"Send them to the Druid School through the Druid's network of relationships."

The wine woman slammed the table directly.

"I disagree! Even if it's just a part of the orphans brought about by the war, there are at least tens of thousands of people. We only have a dozen teachers and can't educate so many students at the same time!"

"Especially some children with unsound minds, problems are likely to occur in this process. By that time, we will be affected instead. Besides, if all the time is spent on training students, will we still practice?"

Artlan directly held up two fingers on his right hand.

"Double the Dragon Magic Crystal I provide you starting next month, is that okay?"

"Not enough!"

Artlan narrowed his eyes. It seems that the strength he showed just now was too strong, making the wine woman realize how powerful the dragon pattern he now possesses is.

"Triple! And I will gradually let outstanding graduates establish some primary schools in my territory, responsible for teaching the orphans simple knowledge, while the Druid School will serve as a higher-level school for talented children to study."

"Deal!"

The wine woman's eyes curved into crescents. With so many Dragon Magic Crystals, how much high-quality magic wine can she brew!

You can't say that the original dragon pattern created by this elemental dragon god is indeed a bit strange. The completely written dragon pattern will actually absorb the surrounding water elements and gradually become invisible.

In the end, you will only subconsciously think that this is a node where magic power naturally gathers.

But this energy node is actually created artificially.

At the same time, ordinary brains can't remember this kind of dragon pattern at all.

At least Audrey's dragon brain can't. Artlan taught Audrey the five translated dragon patterns, but her brain can only hold one.

She almost didn't even remember the dragon pattern that symbolized the water element.

To be honest, Artlan still doesn't know why he can see the secrets hidden in the sapphire. Could it really be because of his eight elemental dragon bloodlines?

Or does his identity actually hide some secrets that he himself doesn't know?

Under the concerted efforts of everyone to promote the energy operation of the magic farm, Artlan's envisioned magic black soil farm that integrates water and earth elements was finally completed.

This kind of soil mixed with water and earth elements, and activated by thunder elements, can cultivate a large number of low-level magic plants, provided that the black soil must be supplied with sufficient energy.

The black soil can slowly improve its quality through continuous cultivation. Although it is not comparable to the cloud soil used by the storm giants, it is already a magic soil suitable for druids to use on the ground.

Artlan studied the original dragon patterns in the sapphire for five years. Five years! Half of Artlan's dragon life was used to study a secret technique.

Finally, he translated all the secret techniques for refining the Supreme Dragon Ball.

Translated it, but except for the ocean wyvern part, which is fairly proficient, the hell wyvern part is barely mastered, and the other six dragon patterns, Artlan knows them, but they are unwilling to pay attention to Artlan.

As for the Northern Kingdom that Artlan coveted, the battle reports sent back were also at a stage that made people's balls hurt. The ambitious Duke of the West Territory took the Southern Territory like a hot knife through butter, and then started opening champagne halfway.

As a result, the situation on the battlefield gradually fell into a state of anxiety. The two sides kept pulling at the junction of the royal territory and the southern territory. The key fortress there has changed hands three times.

Even the original name has not been abandoned, and it has now been officially renamed Bloody Fortress.
