The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Attilan was now filled with greed for this treasure, be it a Purgatory Dragon Soul or a Lava Dragon Soul.

"Master, how long ago did this treasure appear in the dark region of the southwest?"

"About one hundred and fifty years ago. Why do you ask?"

The master said calmly:

"But as long as the treasure is still in their hands, they will continue to create new magic weapons even if they lose their current ones, causing even greater damage to the environment of the southwest."

"Are you sure this isn't a terrible idea?"

"So, before seizing their weapons, we should find a way to steal the treasure!"

The master nodded, signaling Attilan to continue, curious to see what brilliant plan Attilan could come up with.

"Arrange for a legendary thief to go! I don't believe they can't steal it!"

"First, do you know where the treasure is? Second, over a hundred years have passed, and the races in the underground city have been altered by the invasion of fire elements. Outsiders will be recognized at a glance."

"Can you guess what the final fate of these discovered, sneaky outsiders is?"

No need to guess, they must have all become outsider sauce.

Attilan could only smile awkwardly.

"Moreover, I've said it before, the treasure has its own will. If you are not the person it wants, it will not appear before you. The gnome mage didn't so much find the treasure."

"As much as he was actively found by the mage, using the mage to transform all the people in the entire underground city into slaves of its power."

"It's hard to say how much benefit this so-called treasure gained during those decades of grand ceremonies and weapon forging in the underground city."

Attilan nodded thoughtfully, the more he listened, the more he felt that this elemental Dragon Soul was different from what he knew from his inherited memories. Compared to the semi-finished Dragon Pearl in the inheritance, this Dragon Pearl, presumed to be a Purgatory Dragon Soul, seemed to have been fully refined!

Then how did its master still die?

In any case, Attilan now understood one thing: obtaining this elemental Dragon Soul would enhance his strength, and weakening the Flame Lunatics would allow him to control the surface and underground of the southwest region more safely.

As for the third point, suppressing the power of the Purgatory Dragon Soul would allow the soil and water of the southwest region to recover quickly, giving him a true foundation to annex the entire continent.

Occupying the southwest region involves a three-step plan: eliminate the Gnoll Kingdom entrenched near the wasteland, eliminate the Blue Dragon Kingdom entrenched in the desert, and eliminate the several underground Flame forces led by the gnomes!

If the surface cannot be transformed into an oasis, then occupying the desert will be meaningless.

"Master, I want to transform the desert back into its original ecology. Does your Withering School plan to send people to participate in this project together?"

"No problem, but it may have to wait until the problem of the Northern Kingdom is resolved. The Northern Kingdom is almost involving all the manpower of the Withering School. The sooner it is resolved, the sooner we can free up manpower to help you."

"No hurry, I can still handle it here."

This time, Attilan did gain some benefits through the Life Transformation, amplifying the traditional vitality and water element control abilities of the Ocean Dragon.

Although the Bearman and the Treant both suspected that he was an Aberrant Dragon, Attilan was certain that the abilities he possessed were no different from those of a traditional Ocean Dragon. At most, his size was larger, his power influence range was greater, and his effects were better compared to Ocean Dragons of the same level.

That's not special, right?

Just like the Swamp Dragon transformed the center of the continent into a lake, Attilan could also summon water elements to transform the desert, as long as he controlled the amount of water elements he summoned.

He should be able to gradually transform the desert into a wasteland, grassland, and forest.

Traditional deserts do not lack rainfall, but the sunshine, temperature, and desert environment do not have the ability to store rainwater, or the rainwater evaporates before it even hits the ground.

Moreover, if there is too much rainfall, the rainwater in the desert will turn into floods, impacting the desert's original fragile ecology. If Attilan wants the desert to transform into an oasis, he can only have his followers plant trees, while he provides rainwater for irrigation.

The rainwater transformed by his energy field should have a certain resistance effect against the power of the Purgatory Dragon Soul, so that it won't be expelled from the southwest region like ordinary water elements.

Of course, Attilan doesn't plan to transform the desert now. Acting in advance will only stimulate the desert forces and the Purgatory Dragon Soul underground, focusing on using the wasteland to train the Ocean Dragon's bloodline abilities and Druid skills.

"Isn't the food ready yet?"

The Bearman walked in at just the right time.

"It's ready, just the last dish."

The Bearman came, and the master was somewhat regretful that he couldn't get Attilan on the wrong path. Attilan was also somewhat regretful, although this Archdruid was almost completely fooled by him.

But Attilan couldn't get any substantial help from the Withering School. Although he knew the general true face of the desert treasure, a treasure that he couldn't get his hands on would only make the dragon's eyes greedy and anxious, doing more harm than good.

Attilan simply talked about his plan, and the master was already moved by him, planning to shift the destruction target from innocent farmers to the nobles of the Northern Kingdom.

The food was served, and the Old Rogue grabbed a roasted rabbit and started gnawing on it.

"Wow! It turns out that rabbits are so delicious when cooked. I thought rabbits could only be used to pull carts. It seems I've been too wasteful in the past."

"Right? There are also wild boars, sand sheep, and lizards, you should try them too."

"Delicious, all delicious!"

"Old Rogue, these meats are delicious, but raising these animals is too troublesome. Do you have any technology that can quickly fatten them up, and have them give birth to many cubs quickly?"

A very formal dinner party, although only the Bearman, Old Rogue, Master, and Attilan participated, the Master and Bearman discussed balancing the Northern Kingdom at the banquet.

Attilan began to fool people again.

"No problem, I'll take a look at the excellent bloodlines of the animals I've cultivated later. Just tell me what you need, and I'll integrate them for you, definitely very delicious ingredients!"

"Good!"

A master like the Old Rogue is most suitable for him to help cultivate animal breeds suitable for large-scale promotion, as well as top-quality rare ingredients for top nobles to eat.

Besides using these top-quality ingredients to show respect to the Bearman, Treant, and Old Rogue, the most important thing is to drain the small vaults of the nobles in the Northern Kingdom before they are destroyed by the Way of Nature.

Until the end of the banquet, the master failed to move the Bearman, and could only sigh and say:

"I know that compared to other Druid schools, our Withering School is a bit extreme, but if there were no Withering School, this continent would have been destroyed beyond recognition."

This was also true. Compared to other schools that are more inclined to academics, the Withering School is more like a doer, withering not only the enemies who destroy nature, but also the Druids who devote themselves to the Withering School.

Other Druids still have some plans to protect themselves, but the Withering School really goes head-to-head with the enemy, or rather, the earliest Withering School itself was formed by the most fearless people among the Druids.

The members come from the three major schools of animals, plants, and elements.

"Attilan, I'll have a chance to talk to you again about the specific balance plan. Now I have to rush back to convey your ideas to everyone in the Withering School and see what everyone decides."

"If everyone agrees with your ideas and plans to rebuild the balance plan, I wonder if Attilan you can go to the Northern Kingdom."

Before Attilan could answer, the Bearman spoke.

"No, he's just a Druid apprentice, not old enough to participate in the balance of nature, and a dragon mixed in will make the situation more complicated and easily alert the Northern Kingdom."

"Don't forget, the royal family of the Northern Kingdom are Dragon Vein Sorcerers."

The master nodded.

"Indeed, a young dragon is not suitable to participate."

The master misunderstood Attilan's age, but both the Bearman and Attilan didn't plan to explain.

After seeing off the master, Attilan originally planned to sneak away, but before he could take off, he was grabbed by the tail by the Bearman and dragged back.

"My good disciple, where are you planning to go?"

"Master, you know me, I just broke through the Egg of Life, I definitely have to go back and consolidate my newly broken through body."

The Bearman looked at him with a half-smile.

"Since you plan to consolidate your realm, then consolidate it here. It just so happens that your little pet has undergone a new change in form because of the energy field you built in the Egg of Life."

"Perhaps only you can judge its current situation. It was also seeing the Creeper that Giana and I were sure that you are definitely not an ordinary Ocean Dragon."

Attilan looked at the Creeper, who had been sleeping in the corner, puzzled.

"Isn't this still a vine ball? Has anything changed about the Creeper?"

"Wake it up and you'll understand."

"Creeper, stop sleeping, get up."

Hearing Attilan's call, the vine ball moved, rolled to his front, and after the vines that were originally wrapped together loosened, they re-wrapped together, turning into a wingless Vine Dragon.

"This, this, this! How did the Creeper become like this? Wasn't it always a ball with rough vine limbs? How did it become a Vine Dragon?"

The Bearman continued:

"Giana said that compared to the original plant sprites, the current Creeper Dragon is more like a Fairy Dragon. Of course, the plant factors are still there, but it happened to stay in your life energy field before."

"Absorbing life energy has turned it into this, which shows that you are different from ordinary Ocean Dragons. Your body hides powerful power that you can't imagine."

"Waiting for you to dig and discover, but first you have to learn to hide yourself. You have to know that not everyone in this world wants to see a legendary dragon grow up."

"They will think you are a threat, a disaster, and make them afraid. Then what awaits you, I think you should understand, right?"
