Under the Red Dragon
#158 - I can, but I don't like it
The young red dragon, Cadelos, lay listlessly before the gates of the dragon's treasure vault, burying his head in the gap between his thick, folded forelimbs.
His crimson wings were spread on the flat valley floor, and his thick tail coiled around, tightly guarding his rear.
An eighteen-meter-long young red dragon should have been sufficiently intimidating, exuded an imposing aura, and possessed ample pressure.
But alas, the beatings from the outside world had taught this young red dragon some simple truths.
After a long period of recuperation, the young red dragon's exterior had long returned to its peak condition. Although the dragon horde enslaved Cadelos, they never deprived him of sustenance.
However, even so, the growth of this young red dragon's size was quite slow. During the peak growth period for dragons, the extraction of a large amount of dragon blood and two drops of evil dragon's true blood caused damage that would take a long time to repair.
Therefore, this young red dragon's spirit was always somewhat listless, a feeling of weakness originating from his bloodline.
Enveloped in this sense of weakness, even the treasures within the dragon's treasure vault behind that ten-meter-thick stone wall, which held immense allure for dragons, attracted Cadelos a little less.
Turning back to rub against the dragon's treasure vault thirty times an hour had become twenty-nine times, which was undoubtedly a huge change.
When the young red dragon Cadelos couldn't help himself and was about to rub his head against the dragon's treasure vault door like a cat with catnip, a massive dragon shadow descended from the sky.
Whoosh,
A blue dragon landed on the cliff face, its four claws firmly gripping the stone, head down, tail up, a pair of huge blue wings spread, its slender neck lowered, bringing its head close to the young red dragon's body.
A salty sea breeze mixed with the smell of wet sand rushed into the young red dragon Cadelos's nostrils, and that thick, long blue dragon horn was about to poke the young red dragon's eyes.
"I know you, blue dragon Akz, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me, to specifically mock a captive dragon?"
The young red dragon Cadelos sputtered a few sparks from his nostrils. According to his previous temper, this red dragon, higher in the hierarchy of five-colored dragons, would have breathed a mouthful of dragon breath.
The proud red dragon would not allow any dragon to stand over him, instead maintaining his only remaining dignity to question this adolescent blue dragon.
"Oh, don't misunderstand, Cadelos. Every dragon in the horde has their own things to do now, and they don't have time to waste precious moments mocking you,"
The fifteen-meter-long adolescent blue dragon Akz twisted his slender neck, and small stones cracked by his claws broke off from the mountain wall and fell, smashing onto the valley floor.
"Giving the time to the enthusiastic and wonderful young ladies in the territory is better than using it to mock you,"
The blue dragon Akz's unique voice, belonging only to dragons, carried a low echo as he said, "I'm here to give you an opportunity, a chance to gain freedom. I hope you won't refuse this gift from the dragon horde."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The young red dragon pretended to be nonchalant, but his forced calmness had long been seen through by the blue dragon.
"Heh, it's very simple, you just need to follow my orders..." The blue dragon Akz's low voice echoed in the canyon.
"What? You want me to follow you to capture and conquer those lone wild dragons around your territory, and I don't get any reward? Aren't you using a noble red dragon like a war beast? I, Cadelos, am also a noble true dragon. I refuse such insulting conditions!"
The young red dragon said indignantly. Although he gained relative freedom, he had to work for free. These dragons in the horde should all be hanged in the Dragon Queen Tiamat's divine kingdom.
The blue dragon Akz, receiving a negative answer, revealed a strange look in his large vertical pupils, shaking his head and slender neck in front of the young red dragon.
"True dragon? Heh, the dragon horde will redefine the word 'true dragon' in the future. In the future, dragons like you, who can't restrain the influence of the evil dragon's bloodline and forever endure the interference of the evil dragon's blood and endless chatter, cannot be called true dragons,"
"And every dragon in the dragon horde will be more noble than you, a true dragon,"
A heartfelt arrogance emerged in the blue dragon Akz's vertical pupils, and this arrogance from the heart even stung the young red dragon's weak self-esteem.
"Look, true dragons who have restrained the interference of the evil dragon's bloodline can have a stable enough mind to learn knowledge and control magical items,"
The blue dragon Akz stretched out his right claw, and a magical light gathered in his palm. A mage hand extended from his claws, and the mage hand was holding a magical space bag that every dragon lord was equipped with.
At this moment, the magical space bag was slowly opening, revealing a glittering golden light.
Pfft, a spark flashed, the mage hand quickly collapsed, and the opened magical space bag slowly closed, falling into the blue dragon's claws.
"Oh, sorry, I'm not very skilled yet. The evil dragon blood in my body can still affect me frequently," the blue dragon Akz swallowed the magical space bag into his stomach, but the expression on his face showed no apology.
Thanks to the methods summarized and explored by Caron, and the determination of the dragons in the horde, these dragons have also begun to embark on their true paths.
The young red dragon Cadelos was shocked enough.
His mouth opened wide enough to fit an entire lamb.
You see, the reason why dragons don't like to study knowledge, and even rarely explore the inheritance in their minds, is partly because dragons are lazy, and they also feel that the power brought by their own bloodline is strong enough.
But another important reason is that all dragons know that the various desires from the dragon's bloodline are constantly influencing and disturbing these dragons, making it difficult for them to calm their minds.
Just like humans who are driven by the desires stimulated by hormones during adolescence, they will always have various fantasies that often appear in their minds in class.
And the interference brought by the dragon's bloodline is many times greater than the influence of human hormones.
"I can follow your orders, but I demand to obtain a position in the dragon horde in the future, and I hope you can teach me the method of controlling dragon blood. This is my requirement for following orders."
The young red dragon Cadelos tried to bargain, but the initiative was not in his hands.
"Oh," the blue dragon Akz quietly retracted his head, looking down at the young red dragon, and said arrogantly, "You are not worthy, Cadelos. If you weren't of the same race as the most noble monarch in the dragon horde, perhaps we would have drained your evil dragon's true blood long ago."
"Contributing to the dragon horde is the way for you to gain true freedom and rights. This is the king's promise to you!"
"And now, you should honestly be the dragon horde's war beast and complete your mission!"
The young red dragon thought for a while before nodding in agreement. "I only hope that the dragon horde, unlike me, can keep your promises!"
The blue dragon Akz disdained to answer such a question. He just chanted the dragon language passed down by Caron. The magic spell released the young red dragon's restraints, and red chains burst open on the young red dragon's body. The shackles locked on the young red dragon's limbs also opened automatically.
"Hey, why don't you unlock the iron ring around my neck? Are you afraid that you can't suppress me alone?" The young red dragon spat out two mouthfuls of flames from his mouth, spraying them on the door of the dragon's treasure vault.
The young red dragon has a huge range of power, but almost all of them have the destructive power of the Saint realm, and the strongest even have the power to contend with legends.
Although Cadelos is not one of the strongest, the werewolf elder who had just entered the Saint realm, like the one killed by the dragonborn werewolf Saha, would be a matter of a few slaps in the face of this young red dragon.
This is why dragons cannot be measured by ordinary standards. The destructive power of dragons is far stronger than the measurement standards of their life level.
The same level also has a world of difference.
To suppress or even defeat this young red dragon, in addition to Caron, the dragon horde would have to send several dragons, or hundreds of soldiers, with dragon-hunting crossbows and magic-attached giant crossbows and armor-piercing arrows.
But the adolescent blue dragon Akz just smiled coldly: "That is the symbol of your identity. As for when you need to be suppressed, Cadelos, you'd better pray that you can suppress that easily heated brain filled with magma, otherwise there will be dragons who will teach you what it means, 'There are dragons beyond dragons, and heavens beyond heavens!'"
"Hurry up, we still need to find another dragon who is also atoning for his sins," the blue dragon Akz cracked the rocks with his four claws, gently flapping his wings, and flew towards the sky.
"Rare freedom," the young red dragon moved his body, also spreading his wide wings, and rushed straight into the sky. A loud roar spread from the mountains, which was the young red dragon's venting roar.
...
The blue-haired Kalite, wearing a coarse linen garment, quietly leaned against the Tree of Life in Bay Stream City. Her slightly damp forehead indicated that this seemingly young girl was not very relaxed.
The men and women around her kept away from this young woman who appeared proud and indifferent.
The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
This young woman was stronger than the strong men, did more work than two adult men, and was beautiful enough. From this point of view, she should be the target that all men want to pursue.
But after the fifteenth man who tried to strike up a conversation had his eye socket swollen by a punch, no man tried to approach this girl again.
And those women were repelled by this girl's aloof attitude, even when others were sweating profusely, she still maintained a beautiful appearance. Only the kind little girl Nora could easily approach this young woman.
The construction of Bay Stream City is the opposite of the city under the Dragon's Nest. It is necessary to build the outer defensive facilities first, and then build the buildings in the city. Therefore, many people are staying around the Tree of Life to rest at this time.
Huff, huff, huff,
Two dragons flew down from the sky, a blue dragon and a red dragon. The oppression brought by the huge size caused the surrounding residents who were resting to quietly disperse, away from the landing point of the two dragons.
"A new red dragon? When did the dragon lords have a new member?" The residents who had seen Caron whispered, looking at the two dragons landing with curious eyes.
"This red dragon doesn't look very good, not as majestic and beautiful as the Flame Lord. He looks like a wild dragon who has come to join the dragon horde," a woman whispered.
In the eyes of these citizens, the young red dragon's gradually deepening scale color was indeed not as beautiful as the scales on the Red Dragon Lord. The young red dragon, who had been beaten by the outside world, was not as arrogant and invincible as before, so the feeling it gave to everyone was not shocking.
The young red dragon Cadelos pricked up his ears, listening clearly to the surrounding discussions. He scratched the dirt on the ground with his claws a little irritably, but he didn't dare to burn those talkative weaklings to death with a mouthful of dragon fire.
The thriving Tree of Life in front of him made this young red dragon understand that perhaps the dragon horde had conquered that other plane and turned it into a back garden for the dragon horde to pick.
And a blue-haired Kalite also stood up with a shocked expression. This blue dragon, who also belonged to the upper ranks, could clearly understand the threat of the young red dragon in front of him.
And the collar around the young red dragon's neck, engraved with Caron Goggmora's name and a series of dragon languages, was enough to surprise this blue dragon.
This means that this young red dragon is Caron's captive. In human terms, the young red dragon Cadelos is a pet or watchdog raised by Caron.
The blue dragon Akz seemed to have recently developed some new problems, especially liking to look down on others from a high position.
At this moment, the blue dragon treated the former goddess and beloved female dragon as he had treated the young red dragon Cadelos before.
He climbed on the thick Tree of Life with his four limbs, stretched out his slender neck, lowered his head, and sniffed the surprised young girl.
"Akz, what are you here for? I have always abided by the original agreement, engaged in the most arduous labor, and never tried to escape,"
In the end, the older Kalite couldn't bear this silent pressure and took the initiative to ask.
"Kalite, just yesterday, I suggested to Caron that you be imprisoned like Cadelos, extracting the evil dragon's true blood from your body and dedicating your only value at this time to the territory, but Caron refused!"
As soon as the blue dragon Akz opened his mouth, he threw out a 'bang bang', directly stunning the young red dragon Cadelos and the blue dragon Kalite on the spot.
When the dragon horde was young, the blue dragon Akz guarded the dragon horde. Although he also possessed the arrogance and bad nature of the five-colored dragons, he had always been a gentle existence like an older brother to the young dragons in the dragon horde.
And after obtaining the method to control the influence of the evil dragon's bloodline and gradually abandoning the bad influences, the more rational and sober adolescent blue dragon Akz also integrated into the dragon horde. Therefore, he became more ruthless in dealing with some problems based on the dragon horde's position.
More warmth brings more polarized emotions.
"Why?" Kalite's calm voice fluctuated a little. She looked at the once loyal licking dragon in front of her in disbelief, feeling that the other party had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"The generous monarch gave you an opportunity that you did not cherish, Kalite. You need to prove your value, not be like an ordinary person. You are a dragon, and the value you create is no longer proportional to the resources you consume,"
The blue dragon Akz's deep blue pupils were filled with ruthlessness. He brought his head close to Carlite, who was still in human form, bringing Carlite extremely dangerous and intense pressure.
"I didn't understand Kalon's intentions before, but now I can understand some," the breath exhaled by the blue dragon Akz blew Carlite's long blue hair.
"He hopes to unite every dragon that can be united, and launch an attack towards a great goal together, but you are still running away, still immersed in the weakness of the past, and have not taken the initiative to lean towards the dragon group,"
"You didn't even actively apply for the war to conquer different planes, but hid in a corner of the territory. I once hoped that you could learn something about family and companions from your contact with humans, but it seems that you have disappointed me and the dragon group."
The blue dragon Akz's voice echoed in Carlite's ears, but it did not spread out. The sensible Tree of Life had already stretched out its branches, isolating the sound in a small area.
"Those who do not lean towards the dragon group will be enemies of the dragon group. You are also a potential enemy of the dragon group," the blue dragon Akz's tone became extremely cold.
"I will not allow anyone to harm the dragon group or destroy the common goal of the dragons," Akz stretched out his tongue and licked Carlite's face, who was looking numb.
A low sigh rang in the blue dragon Akz's throat, "So, I applied to Kalon to give you another chance to accept the dragon group's test. If you fail to meet my expectations, I will kill you and treasure your head in my lair to commemorate the rose that bloomed in my world when I was a teenager!"
"Even if I am punished by Kalon, I will not hesitate!"
"Oh, Akz, I like that sentence of yours very much," the young red dragon Kediros came back to his senses and gave his suggestion while wagging his tail, "Before you kill her, maybe you can force yourself on her to make up for the regret in your heart."
The blue dragon Akz glanced coldly at the young red dragon and said lightly, "Of course I can do this, but I don't like to do it!"
