Under the Red Dragon
#193 - A new beginning
Dragon Era, Year 10, late autumn.
Time flows like water, regardless of the will of all things in the world. In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
More than a thousand days and nights might seem like a long time to short-lived races like humans and goblins, but to dragons, it's merely a brief rest.
At the highest peak of those mountains, within the volcano lair where the Lord of Dragons slumbers, Kalon Gorgomora has transitioned from deep sleep to a normal slumber.
The beating of his heart within his body has begun to slowly accelerate, and his breathing has become increasingly heavy and resonant.
After swallowing the spiritual authority once belonging to the Nightmare King several years ago, Kalon's main consciousness, while in slumber, influenced his subconscious, continuously using the heart energy within his body to cleanse and scour this authority.
Only recently has Kalon gradually digested and analyzed it, the immense spiritual authority transforming into nourishment for his knowledge, becoming the key for him to open another great door.
The ancestral dragon blood within Kalon's body revealed a source of dragon blood composed of countless fragmented and broken runes, emerging from the depths of his bloodline.
This is the source of every dragon's bloodline, the foundation of their abilities, and the root power of the Dragon God's creation at the birth of all dragons.
But this root power is incomplete, fragmented. Perhaps the combined root power in the source blood of all dragons in the world could be comparable to the essence power of the primordial Dragon God Io, which remains in the bodies of Tiamat, the Queen of Chromatic Dragons, or Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon God.
Even with Kalon's supreme mental strength and will, it took several years, referencing the research results on the Evil Dragon True Blood from the young red dragon Cadelos, to finally capture and anchor this root power, which is almost a rule, deep within his own bloodline.
This subtle root power has gradually grown stronger during years of slumber, representing the continuous growth of the ancestral dragon blood within Kalon's body.
And as Kalon transitioned from deep sleep to a normal state of slumber, under the influence of his main consciousness, the immense heart energy accumulated throughout his adolescence, the immeasurable heart energy drawn from his familiars and subjects, suddenly poured into the depths of his bloodline.
That spiritual authority—Gluttony—was also thrown into the source of his bloodline at this time, causing that trace of the bloodline's origin to rapidly expand, even emitting a sound like a giant beast drinking water in the river of ancestral blood, gurgling and echoing throughout the lair.
Even this almost immeasurable heart energy and the spiritual authority with its magical power still seemed unable to satisfy the strengthening that Kalon had envisioned.
Only a few pieces of information quietly surfaced in the river of Kalon's bloodline.
[Bloodline Solidification - Unrestricted Growth]: All aspects of your physical qualities will grow to the maximum extent within the range of your bloodline's growth, and your own potential will be developed to the maximum.
[Bloodline Solidification - Mind Overclock]: A powerful mind and will allow you to always be in overclock mode, freely exerting all your strength and abilities.
[Bloodline Solidification - ****]: All things have a source. And they are the nutrients of your bloodline, the steps of your power. You are the predator standing at the top!
In addition to this, there is much more information waiting for Kalon to accept and digest, but all of this is nearing its end.
Thump, thump-thump, thump-thump-thump.
After completing all of this, the sound of heavy hammers drumming faster and faster echoed in the lair. It was the two hearts within the red dragon's body beginning to adjust their operating mode, adapting to the state that was about to change.
And in that boiling lake of magma, a massive red dragon slowly emerged from the sea of fire, nineteen meters from head to tail!
......
Golden City, a city named after precious and rare treasures, always seems prone to disasters, built and destroyed, destroyed and rebuilt.
After completely eliminating the invading orcs from the Orc Kingdom from their territory, those orcs were no longer able to launch attacks on the territory.
Even though the Orc Kingdom still had a large number of legions, they did not have enough ships and spare material reserves to support the continuation of the war.
So the war officially ended, and the dragon's territory still flew the dragon's royal flag.
Because of this war, all the dragon lords unanimously decided to build the city of Golden City's scale and defense according to the standards of a royal capital, turning this most important seaport into a solid fortress city.
The city walls of the entire city were built of solid granite, the city walls were twenty-five meters high, and countless heavy cannons and giant crossbows were distributed on the various battlements of the city wall, overlooking the entire wide coastline.
This huge project undoubtedly required a huge amount of manpower and material resources, especially after the Dragon Clan's territory lost a lot of population after the war, and the residents who had moved to the west settled in their newly developed homes and could not be easily moved back.
This made the dragon lords a little regretful that they had not left those orcs behind to be squeezed as labor.
But the goblin BlingBling, who was sent to engage in trade with other continents and countries, played an important role at this time.
This bold and clever goblin merchant not only recruited a large number of mercenaries to support the territory's war at the beginning of the war between the orcs and the dragons.
After the war ended and the Dragon Clan won the news, this guy actually spent all the profits he had made in the past few years before he had even restored communication with the territory, and formed a huge commercial fleet.
This fleet, with as many as hundreds of ships, started from the port of Lycra in the southernmost part of the central continent, and rented and purchased ships and engaged in the slave trade along the way.
Sending ships full of people to the territory to replenish the territory's population resources and provide a large number of people for the reconstruction of the territory.
What the goblin BlingBling didn't expect was that although many nobles in the countries of the Northland claimed that the Dragon Clan was good at bewitching people and using spells to bewitch humans and refugees of various races to settle down, and some nobles had even begun to sever slave trade relations with the Dragon Clan's territory.
There were still a considerable number of free refugees spontaneously moving towards the Dragon Clan's territory, because these people did not care about evil or justice, they just heard that the Dragon Clan's territory could eat enough, and they had their own houses and land, they just needed to be able to live well.
The scholars' research on the Dragon Clan's territory and the publicity of many adventurers and bards, including the Copper Dragon Alfred, made the Dragon Clan's territory a golden land longed for by these refugees who were living in hardship.
These populations, coupled with the Dragon Clan's rapidly growing vassal races, greatly improved the efficiency of building cities with the support of the development of magical industrial technology.
Although the quarry was far from Golden City, scholars at the research center had put the magic steam engine into practical use, the first planned track was laid, and the roaring magic steam train began to shuttle between Golden City and the quarry.
Although this big guy, which mixed magic technology with industrial technology, often had problems and needed to be repaired every few days, and the wooden tracks also needed to be replaced and maintained frequently, it was still countless times more efficient than using manpower and animal power.
So in these years, the almost completed reconstruction of Golden City has become a truly majestic city, tall and majestic, a giant city built specifically to the standards of dragons.
Especially on the tall city gate facing all the guests of the seaport, hangs a huge head, which is the proof of being divided and eaten by the dragons, showing off their military power. It is the skull of the ancient behemoth, Behemoth.
The moment most visitors see this scene, they will feel that the land ruled by the Dragon Clan has both barbaric force and spiritual civilization.
After several years of recovery, this tall Golden City has regained its former prosperity. Not only do ships full of people sail into the seaport every ten and a half days, but even merchant groups and adventurers from the most distant southern continent come and go with great frequency.
However, these newcomers to the territory will always find that there are two more adult bronze dragons in the offshore area of the Golden Coast, who often travel to and from the sea.
These two adult bronze dragons salvaged many sunken ships from the seabed as their temporary nests and lived on the edge of the offshore area.
These bronze dragons, who call themselves righteous, have had no shortage of disputes with the dragon lords of the Dragon Clan's territory in the past few years, mainly because the two bronze dragons felt that the territory's laws were too strict and often condemned the Dragon Clan's law enforcement.
And these two bronze dragons had no awareness of being in someone else's territory. Although they did not touch the Dragon Clan's laws, they actually occupied a sea area as their nest and did not even pay taxes.
Although the Dragon Clan could forcibly expel or even kill these two bronze dragons with their vassals, they were afraid of the Good Dragon Alliance behind them.
Those metal dragons are different from the five-colored dragons. They are extremely protective and self-righteous.
Although most of the true dragons active in the world of Akania are in the juvenile to adult stage, and even ancient dragons rarely appear, let alone ancient dragons, the Dragon Clan does not think that there are no old things that have lived for a long time behind the other party.
In the absence of a real backbone to dominate, the Dragon Clan cannot easily provoke incidents and can only temporarily hide its claws and endure.
This situation shows that even the seemingly powerful Dragon Clan has something to worry about. This is the true reflection of the evil dragons in the world of Akania today.
These evil dragons are no longer the glory of ancient times. Not only do they have to face the increasingly strong humanoid races and many intelligent races, but they also have to fight against their ancient nemesis, the metal dragons, who are stronger than them.
The short-sighted, greedy, infatuated with internal fighting, conceited and arrogant five-colored dragons have not completely withdrawn from the stage of history, thanks to these dragons' innate strong vitality, which allows them to hide in any corner of the world and grow moldily.
Although the dragons in the Dragon Clan have become particularly united after the war with the Orc Kingdom, they still cannot change the general trend of the world.
Only the resentful ogre giant Fafna has written down one stroke after another for these two bronze dragons in his small notebook.
This giant, who has some unique understanding of managing wealth, manages the Dragon Clan's treasure vault and is also the tax officer of the Dragon Clan's territory.
In the years of war and rebuilding the territory, the Dragon Clan's treasure vault has also spent a considerable amount of wealth, which made the giant Fafna want to fill the treasure vault as soon as possible before his master wakes up in order to receive the red dragon's reward.
Therefore, Fafna has no good feelings for the bronze dragons who consume a large amount of the territory's food resources and do not pay taxes. Every time they meet, they will have a cold face, roll their eyes, and turn their nostrils to the sky.
But today, Fafna rarely showed his smiling face and greeted the two bronze dragons, who had transformed into human forms, with a smile on the bustling street.
Not only Fafna, but all the people in the entire Golden City and the entire territory have a joyful mood today.
The latest novels are first published at Six Nine Books!
Because the supreme lord who rules the entire territory, who is rumored to be the Golden King by the outside world, or contemptuously called the Evil Dragon Tyrant, Kalon Gorgomora, will wake up today.
Today is not only the day of victory and triumph in the war with the orcs, but also the day when the dragon kingdom is officially established. The day the red dragon wakes up is the time to establish the country.
Not only are countless people looking forward to the awakening of the red dragon monarch, but those loyal warriors are also looking forward to their master's awakening.
Although at the time of the war victory, in order to unite the kingdom's beliefs, the dragons held a celebration banquet and adjudicated the work of rewarding, comforting, and promoting soldiers, in the hearts of these warriors, without the participation of the red dragon monarch, it was an imperfect experience.
Loyal warriors yearn to receive the approving gaze and affirmation of the supreme monarch, which no dragon lord can replace.
The bronze dragons Gross and Natarelli followed behind a tall, handsome young man with blond hair, looking at the giant who always hated them with a confused expression.
Bronze dragons can sense the obvious malice of others, but the other party's malice disappeared without a trace today, and they even took the initiative to greet them.
Beside them stood a tall woman with silver hair draped over her shoulders. Her cold temperament was particularly eye-catching even behind the arrogant blond youth who seemed to hold power in his hands.
The handsome blond youth was tall enough, but the silver-haired woman's figure was not inferior to the blond youth, and she looked more mature and refined.
And these two guys with special identities, enough to make two adult bronze dragons willing to follow behind them, have great energy and powerful abilities.
The juvenile ancestral golden dragon Obilash Rabik, whose father is not only a powerful noble in a human kingdom, but also one of the leaders in the Good Dragon Alliance, the Golden Flash - Mogsar Rabik.
His mother is also an adult silver dragon with a fairly outstanding bloodline, with many good friends. It is well known that silver dragons are better at attracting people than golden dragons, and the dragon vein circle of an adult silver dragon cannot be estimated.
And the silver-haired woman is the younger sister of Obilash's mother, Chris Tiana, known as the Holy Valkyrie, who was entrusted by her sister to take care of the young golden dragon who was traveling the world for the first time.
Chris Tiana's bloodline talent is even more outstanding than her sister's. Since she was a teenager, she has been a well-known genius in the silver dragon clan, so she is proud enough in her heart.
She is even so proud that she looks down on even the powerful golden dragons. She once made a vow that only those of the same age who can defeat her will have the opportunity to pursue her.
This is also the beginning of her road to fame. Countless young dragons were defeated by this silver dragon in duels, and even golden dragons of the same age were not her opponents, so she was known as the Holy Valkyrie.
And her sister also wanted to tie her proud sister, Chris Tiana, the Valkyrie who was in charge of a silver dragon paladin order, to her side and use her son, Obilash, to subdue her with the noble ancestral dragon blood in his body.
But obviously, the proud and mature Valkyrie didn't think much of her nephew, and didn't pay much attention to this arrogant golden dragon, whose golden hair even seemed to bristle with pride.
The group walked along the busy street, surrounded by hurried crowds, these residents rushing to High Gomorrah Square.
Today, to celebrate with all the people of the territory, the spellcasters used magic to build projection facilities in the center of the square, allowing residents who could not go to the Royal Capital to watch the founding ceremony and celebration to share the joy.
Obilas frowned, the people rushing past in the crowd unable to touch the noble youth's clothes, but the discussions coming from the crowd made him very dissatisfied.
"It is said that all the dragon lords will be present at that time, we have never seen such a scene before. The forest dragon Antagina, whose scales are said to be more beautiful than emeralds, I most want to see this noble dragon lord, to see if she is as beautiful as the legends say."
"I want to see 'Crimson Roar' Cadilos and Red Queen Kraina, it is said that they are of the same race as the Supreme Lord, and have two parts of the Great Lord's majesty. I wonder if the Supreme Great Lord will awaken today. If I could see him once, it would be enough to boast about for several days."
"Idiot, if you can see him, then everyone can see him, what can you boast about!"
"You are the fool, I can boast to those newcomers."
Two humans who had just moved into the territory hurried past, but their conversation was completely heard by Obilas.
In the recitations of adventurers and bards, the dragon lords have become somewhat famous, Storm Dragon Dos, Ice Dragon Kamid, Forest Dragon Antagina, etc. These distant and ancient titles were originally set for those powerful dragon lords.
Ordinary dragons are not qualified to be called that, it will only attract ridicule and challenges.
"Hehe, can these ordinary dragons be worthy of the title of powerful lord? Gross, you are right, evil must be suppressed, and the best way is to step on evil, conquer them, tame them, and rule them."
Obilas showed a cold smile on his arrogant face, turned his head and said to the two bronze dragons: "Let's go, it seems that today is a big scene, just right, I will challenge that red dragon, who has been praised by empty names to the point of not recognizing himself, to the ancient dragon lords' 'Skarsht' battle in front of everyone."
"I will defeat him in front of everyone, step on him, and then take over his dragons, rule his territory, and let him become my gatekeeper, guarding my treasure house. Only the gold dragon is worthy of establishing the dragon civilization!"
"Tch," Silver Dragon Chris Diana snorted inwardly, feeling that her nephew was too stupid.
The other party is an evil dragon, although it is a rational evil dragon, but once Obilas angers him, he will not talk about benevolence and morality, and will definitely rush up.
During this period of travel, Silver Dragon Chris Diana had already discovered that this territory was different from other evil dragon kingdoms. Those warriors loyal to the dragon had extraordinarily strong combat power and discipline.
There are also those terrifying war machines, and a considerably large legion of spellcasters.
Once a formal conflict breaks out between the two sides, let alone a juvenile gold dragon, even an adult gold dragon will die here.
At that time, she will have to take action and take this fool, whose brain is filled with arrogance, and run away. Just thinking about it is embarrassing.
"Tsk," the Silver Dragon Valkyrie quietly shook her head. If it wasn't for the sake of the two thousand gold coins her sister gave her, she wouldn't bother with this guy.
However, this silver dragon quickly covered her wallet, revealing a look of heartache. The two thousand gold coins she received from her sister had already been lost in the Dragon Myriad Generations Card Hall for nearly eight hundred gold coins, but so far she had only opened a purple card.
"It's really annoying, these hateful guys, they really know how to cheat money, I have to find a chance to beat them up!"
em, I originally wanted to finish the big chapter, but there is not enough time
