The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

#316 - Gourmet Dragon King Atilan

Attilan quickly changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on the Dragon King and paying respects.

“Everyone has traveled a long way, and I believe no one has eaten anything. I have prepared some local delicacies for everyone on Dragon Palace Island.”

“After we return, everyone can eat while Audreys and I explain and demonstrate the elemental dragon patterns. Although we only master the most basic secondary dragon patterns.”

Attilan took the lead, and a group of elemental dragons flew back to Dragon Palace Island.

Fire Tyrant lay on the dried-up swamp, his eyes constantly changing. In the end, he decided to go back and continue participating in the gathering.

Attilan was able to defeat him, definitely because he had mastered the dragon patterns.

As long as he learned them too, Attilan would definitely be defeated by him.

After returning to Dragon Palace Island, roasted whole sheep and pigs were brought before everyone.

Smelling the aroma of the meat, everyone was filled with emotion. This Attilan was not only good at fighting, but even the food made by his subordinates was more delicious than theirs.

The chefs in their families could not learn such a rich aroma.

Before leaving later, they must ask Attilan to send them a few chef subordinates.

Attilan threw a steamed lamb into his mouth, savoring the wonderful taste of the fresh and sweet meat juice bursting in his mouth.

His dragon claws waved, outlining all the ocean secondary dragon patterns in the air one by one.

“Everyone, please see, the power of a single secondary dragon pattern is indeed not strong enough, but the advantage of dragon patterns lies in the fact that their power doubles after being chained together. Most importantly, dragon patterns are suitable for elemental dragons.”

“By learning secondary dragon patterns, everyone can receive multiple times the nourishment. If your talent is sufficient, you can even comprehend primary dragon patterns and the original dragon pattern through secondary dragon patterns.”

As he spoke, Attilan combined some secondary dragon patterns, outlining several primary dragon patterns.

“I am considered to have some talent. After studying for two and a half years, I can outline a few primary dragon patterns. I believe everyone won’t be much worse than me.”

Everyone was frantically stuffing meat into their mouths. The two-meter-long whole pigs were devoured by these guys in three bites, as if they hadn't eaten meat for hundreds of years.

Attilan knew he had to do something, otherwise, if he really let the dozens of elemental dragons present eat their fill.

The hundreds of earth dragon pigs he raised outside Great Horn Town might not be enough for them to eat.

This earth dragon pig has nothing to do with the three silly bear brothers' hobbies. It is a new breed jointly cultivated by Attilan and Druid researchers.

The Dragon Magic used comes from the sealed Sand Dust Wyrm.

Besides the earth dragon pig, there is also the wind dragon chicken.

It's just that the wind dragon chicken is too small to be suitable as food for feasting elemental dragons.

When feasting elemental dragons, Attilan couldn't possibly serve ingredients that didn't contain magic power.

Attilan smiled calmly, bright blue light bursting from his eyes.

“Everyone, according to my deduction, as long as you can comprehend the original dragon pattern, I think there is at least a fifty percent chance of advancing to become an Elemental Dragon King!”

A look of interest flashed in everyone's eyes, and even the speed of their eating slowed down.

Attilan glanced at Audreys again. She was eating elegantly, taking small bites, but the speed at which the pork and lamb in front of her disappeared was faster than those who ate rudely.

“As everyone knows, Audreys is born with some characteristics of the Ocean Dragon King. After many years of cultivation, she has only increased her dragon bloodline to fifty percent.”

“But after only practicing dragon patterns for a few years, Audreys' dragon bloodline purity has already increased to sixty percent!”

Although she was very unhappy that Attilan used her as an example, it was indeed true.

If she wanted to become the vice-leader, she had to prove her strength.

Just at this moment, Fire Tyrant flew to the sky not far from the venue.

Everyone immediately began to whisper again.

Even the Frost Wyrm was a little surprised that Fire Tyrant would actually come to participate in the banquet, given his personality.

Could it be that the battle just now had completely shattered Fire Tyrant's arrogance?

Other dragons might not have seen it, but the Frost Wyrm, with its keen eyes, saw that Attilan had not used his full strength in the battle just now.

He wasn't even serious, he was just playing around the whole time. Apart from the chained secondary dragon pattern spells, he didn't use any other abilities.

With Attilan's size, if he pounced on Fire Tyrant and fought him in close combat, would Fire Tyrant still have a chance of winning?

But it didn't fit the theme of this gathering. The way he fought just now did change everyone's perception of dragon patterns, making them feel that dragon patterns were not impossible to learn.

Looking at Fire Tyrant's figure, Attilan's eyes showed surprise.

It seemed that not all the elemental dragons were hopeless. After being played with by him like that, Fire Tyrant could actually endure the great humiliation and come to participate in the banquet.

For the sake of learning dragon patterns to defeat him, this kind of mental fortitude was worth learning from.

“Fire Tyrant, please sit.”

Fire Tyrant landed in a corner, and attendants quickly brought over a dining table and a pig and a sheep.

In the kitchen in the distance, the chefs who had been summoned back were tearful.

The Dragon Lord was finally holding a banquet again!

The salary here wasn't high, but the benefits were many. By enjoying those fragmented magic ingredients, their speed of improving their strength was much faster.

Today's earth dragon pig and rock dragon sheep were all good things they hadn't eaten before.

Although they were whole pigs and whole sheep, the internal organs had been removed.

The noble dragons did not eat these scraps.

Naturally, they were cheaper for these chefs.

Attilan also knew something about the chefs' little thoughts.

After all, in his dragon-human form, he also quite liked to cook these offal.

For example, using the earth dragon pig's stomach to wrap the processed wind dragon chicken to make a pig stomach chicken, that was delicious.

Attilan gestured with his eyes for Audreys to come out and demonstrate her progress to everyone.

But Audreys didn't move because a new dish had been served.

Silver Scale Snake Fish, she had to eat it.

These fish were about three meters long. Even after removing the silver scales, the fish meat still revealed a bit of silver light. After being roasted, it was even more interwoven with gold and silver, making it mouthwatering.

Audreys tasted the fish meat in small bites, completely oblivious to Attilan's hint.

The three silly bear brothers were still spouting nonsense.

“Do you know how to eat? Silver Scale Snake Fish should be savored slowly. The way you eat it, you swallow it in two bites, without chewing it twice.”

“You are wasting the delicious food!”

As he spoke, Bear Da took a big bite of the fish meat, chewing pretentiously.

“Look, this is how you should eat it. If you follow King Attilan to learn in the future, you will be as excellent as me.”

The dragons disdainfully turned their heads, not wanting to see this lackey sucking up.

Fire Tyrant wanted to mock them, but feeling Attilan's burning gaze, he sat and silently ate the food in front of him.

You have to say, it was really delicious.

This Attilan, not only could he fight, but he also knew how to enjoy himself?

He used to just dip his prey in lava twice and eat it.

He naturally liked that charred taste.

The Purgatory Wyrm liked this taste.

But it didn't mean that the Purgatory Wyrm didn't have the public's taste and aesthetic.

The dishes made by the chef of Attilan were capable of satisfying the taste buds of all elemental dragons.

In fact, Attilan initially found it strange that, despite all being dragons, the elemental dragons' sense of taste differed from those of the chromatic and metallic dragons.

Chromatic dragons, like white dragons, enjoyed freezing their prey into ice blocks, while black dragons consumed rancid flesh.

Elemental dragons, on the other hand, were generally more civilized and preferred cooked food.

Ever since Attilan learned that the elemental dragons were created by a transmigrator from China, he understood their uniqueness.

Elemental dragons were slightly more slender than chromatic and metallic dragons, somewhat resembling the Chinese 응룡 (Yinglong), but still largely retaining the form of fantastical dragons.

Perhaps the Elemental Dragon God felt that it was best not to be too out of place in the fantasy world, lest it be targeted by other dragon gods.

Audrey Kiss wasn't cooperative, so Attilan could only enforce it.

"Audrey Kiss, demonstrate the progress the dragon runes have brought you."

Only after finishing the silver-scaled snakefish did Audrey Kiss reluctantly step onto the stage.

Her mastery of secondary dragon runes wasn't as comprehensive as Attilan's.

However, she had mastered over a thousand secondary dragon runes, which interlocked in the air, forming an azure light sphere.

Audrey Kiss spat out her dragon pearl, and under its guidance, the light sphere merged into the pearl.

Audrey Kiss then swallowed the dragon pearl, and the energy of the dragon runes slowly released from the pearl, causing azure lines of draconic magic to envelop her dragon body, nourishing her bones, blood, muscles, and enhancing their strength.

In fact, Audrey Kiss didn't mention that her Ocean Dragon King progress wasn't at sixty percent; just before she came to Attilan to discuss the banquet, she had already successfully advanced to seventy percent!

The pressure from her bloodline seemed even stronger than the draconic might Attilan had released during the battle just now.

But this was Audrey Kiss, not Attilan, so Fire Tyrant naturally refused to accept it and immediately mocked her.

"The Elemental Dragon King isn't about bloodline concentration; what's the use of just having a dragon bloodline? Whether you can become a Dragon King depends on whether you can fight!"

Fire Tyrant didn't like Audrey Kiss, just as Audrey Kiss didn't seem to like him.

She directly looked down at Fire Tyrant with disdain.

"Whether I can fight or not, why don't you come up and try?"

Fire Tyrant directly overturned the table in front of him.

Half of the roasted pig landed on the ground, and Attilan frowned, a fleeting hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

What he hated most was people wasting food.

The Frost Wyrm had been silently observing Attilan's movements, because of her talent for reducing her presence, her gaze hadn't been noticed by Attilan.

The Frost Wyrm hadn't expected Attilan to value the food so much.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, this was the perfect opportunity.

She quickly stood up and said:

"The banquet has so many delicacies, representing Dragon Prince Attilan's good intentions, if the two of you were to fight, wasting the food would be a great pity."

Attilan, however, waved his hand indifferently.

"No need, I have something interesting here, just right for everyone to see, they can fight inside, and it won't affect us enjoying the delicacies outside."

As he spoke, Attilan poured magic into the ground, and everyone saw the crystal stones around them, which they had thought were just decorations, emitting light.

Finally, a five-colored glazed barrier formed, encompassing everyone within it.

Attilan waved his hand again, and the five-colored glazed barrier flew into the sky and stabilized in the air.

"The two of you, please."

Fire Tyrant looked at the barrier in surprise and couldn't help but ask:

"What is this?"

Attilan smiled faintly.

"Just a small achievement obtained while researching dragon runes and elements; fighting inside won't affect the outside with energy fluctuations, please."

Fire Tyrant and Audrey Kiss entered the Dragon Realm and quickly began to fight.

"The druid elemental master I specially invited also contributed a lot to the development of the Dragon Realm."

The old urchin, who had been silently enjoying the delicacies beside Attilan, remained calm as he ate the food in front of him, despite the gazes of many elemental dragons.

The serene aura and the lively, mischievous old urchin before his breakthrough to Legend felt like completely different people.

Attilan had a feeling that the current calm old urchin was the real Robert.

Playing the fool was just a mask he used to cover the bitterness and sadness in his heart.

Of course, that didn't stop Robert from having a good time wearing the mask.

"Gourmet Dragon King is being humble, this five-colored elemental Dragon Realm is all your own effort, I only made some slight modifications, not worth mentioning."

Attilan quickly connected to the old urchin with his mental power, anxiously asking:

"Old Urchin, what are you doing? Saying the title of Gourmet Dragon King means that I have already chosen my king title."

"Today's banquet seems like my purpose is to get them to acknowledge the Gourmet Dragon King title, are you doing this because you think I've lived too long?"

The old urchin only replied with one sentence.

"Attilan, don't forget, your goal is the Gourmet Dragon God."

Attilan certainly hadn't forgotten, but what did that have to do with the Gourmet Dragon King?

"So?"

The old urchin really wanted to knock Attilan on the head with the chopsticks in his hand.

"Have you forgotten that you had me create a Flying Mantou God Sect, worshiping a non-existent God of Gourmet, and this God of Gourmet has a dragon head and a human body!"

Attilan hadn't left his home for the past two years and knew nothing about the spread of the Gourmet God's faith.

Suddenly, he had a bold idea.

"Could it be that this god who controls fermented dough has been fully promoted in my territory?"

The old urchin calmly picked up a piece of fish.

"Not only your territory, but with the promotion of white flour mantou, the entire continent's wheat-growing areas have begun to worship this Gourmet God, and almost all areas of this continent have planted wheat."

"And the spices, soy sauce, cooking wine, and other seasonings you promoted, as well as the recipes for the delicacies you made, have led to this Gourmet God having a large number of believers."

"If you don't associate the Gourmet God with yourself, I'm afraid some evil demons will can't help but want to steal the Gourmet God's power of faith, these elemental dragons can effectively help you establish a connection."

Attilan nodded heavily.

"I understand."

Gourmet Dragon King, sounds like it doesn't have much lethality, it's a name he likes.

As Attilan nodded, the elemental dragons present all stood up.

Bear Big rushed to shout:

"Gourmet Dragon King!"

Everyone quickly followed and shouted the slogan.

"Gourmet Dragon King!"

After shouting three times in a row, Attilan stood up and said:

"Everyone, I'm not worthy of the Dragon King title yet, please just call me Gourmet Dragon Prince."

Everyone in their hearts understood that Attilan was a talented elemental dragon whose talent might surpass Sesthestis.

The Elemental Dragon King would not be his end point.
