Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 109 Blue Dragon Carlit

The autumn wind swept across the vast grassland to the top of the mountains where the dragons lived, and the hot wind that lingered around the dragon's nest all day long became milder.

Even the red dragon, which was in the blazing magma and surrounded by boiling magma, was keenly aware of the slight changes in temperature.

It's funny to say that the red dragon's flesh and blood can be considered to be extremely masculine and strong, with boiling hot temper, but it is afraid of the cold and hates the cold winter the most.

And if the red dragon steps into certain extremely cold areas, its strength may even decline, and it may be beaten up by opponents who are far weaker than itself.

The followers who are influenced by the power of the red dragon's bloodline are also very averse to launching wars of conquest in winter. Although the cold winter will affect most species of creatures, the impact on the followers of the red dragon is too severe.

Before, Karon didn't understand why those ordinary tigers, which were far from powerful, were able to withstand the severe cold climate with fur that was no stronger than the scales of a red dragon.

Those ordinary tigers are never afraid of the cold winter, and even become relatively stronger in winter. However, the powerful red dragon, the race closest to perfect creatures, is not even as good as an ordinary tiger in this respect.

But after he had gradually mastered the control of his body, Caron discovered the real reason.

Almost all the dragons in the world are emitting their own power and blood aura all the time, radiating and blending with the material world. This is also one of the sources of the dragon's nest effect.

But this also means a kind of consumption. When encountering cold air and certain extremely cold forces, it will turn into confrontation and suppression, which will aggravate the consumption of the red dragon itself. A single red dragon obviously cannot fight against the entire world.

The heat and sulfur that is constantly rising from the gaps in the scales of every red dragon is a clear proof of this.

But Kalon is different from other red dragons of the same race. His talent [Blood Solidification-Mind Overclocking] allows him to gradually and perfectly control his body.

With the help of long-term control practice and blood talent, Kallon can now freely control the closing and opening of every scale on his huge body and contract every tiny pore on his skin.

Not even a trace of blood or energy can leak out from the pores on Karon's skin without permission. Every bit of breath must be contained within Karon's body. All blood radiation and field effects are like the evil dragon blood in his body, dormant under Karon's will.

It is also conceivable that when Caron reaches adolescence, his reproductive organs mature and he becomes able to have children, he will even be able to freely control his happy time with his partner and spouse.

Although the dragon's physical fitness and abundant energy did not require such control ability, Karon still unilaterally felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

At this moment, Karon's body was like a super-large furnace and energy pile that sealed off all the fire and energy. All of his qi, blood, and bloodline energy were gathered in his body, claiming to be one. He did not have the shortcoming of other red dragons of the same species who were afraid of the cold.

In an extremely cold environment, Caron will not be weakened by this shortcoming. The extremely concentrated power will only intensify the degree of reaction and confrontation when leaving the body.

And Charon will only show the characteristics of a red dragon when he bursts out with all his strength. Normally, only the scales on his body have the smell of lava sulfur because they have been immersed in magma for too long.

At this time, Karon's body was immersed in magma. Pieces of dark red scales the size of an adult's palm slowly fell off his body, floating up and down in the rolling magma flow.

Dragons and snakes have some similarities. Generally, dragons shed their scales only in very rare cases, just like snakes shed their skin when they go through their life growth cycle and enter a new life growth stage.

Only when the dragon is in a state of slumber that spans across ages will it shed its scales and regrow new scales that perfectly fit its body as its body spontaneously adapts to the evolution and transformation of the dragon's bloodline.

However, because Charon had been soaking in the magma for a long time, the excessive energy and magic power caused his body and blood to be in a state of accelerated growth and change.

Scales, as tissues with relatively fixed growth and changes on the dragon's body, often cannot keep up with the growth and changes of Charon's body, so every once in a while Charon will actively shed his scales and grow new scales that are suitable for his body.

When the last old scale on his body fell off and a new scale grew, Charon emerged from the boiling magma.

He collected his old scales one by one and put them into his treasure house. Now, in the corner of the treasure house, there is a pile of old scales shed by red dragons. Although these old scales have fallen off, they are only slightly dim and are still rare treasures in the eyes of most creatures.

Even other dragons would covet the old scales that fell off from Charon. These old scales have certain characteristics of red dragons, and are the best magical materials for carrying earth, metal, and fire elements, and they are naturally resistant to the magic of these three elements.

The texture is also extremely strong. Not only can it be used to create magical treasures, but its defensive power alone can create armor and shields that will make countless warriors excited.

Based on the red dragon's natural ability to appraise treasures and estimate their value, each scale on a red dragon is now worth more than thousands of gold coins. Selling all of these old scales would make Charon a wealthy dragon.

However, Kalon would not be so wasteful. He could easily obtain ordinary gold coins without having to sell dragon scales, and the gains would far exceed that of selling dragon scales.

He planned to preserve these dragon scales and make them into medals or special certificates of honor in the future to honor those who had made great contributions to the dragon territory and kingdom.

This will be a reward and honor unique to the Dragon Kingdom, and will also enhance the cohesion and sense of superiority of subordinates to a certain extent. A sense of superiority is indispensable to a mature social system and a manifestation of social status and class division.

Kallon will let everyone know that as long as they contribute to the dragon group, they will definitely be rewarded.

After counting the treasures that were gradually accumulating in his treasure house, Karon climbed out of the treasure house with a satisfied mood, then flapped his wings and flew into the sky, flying towards the forest.

Charon needs to hunt for food. Before a team was established to provide food for dragons and inspect the food, Charon and the dragon group had to hunt for food on their own.

Although the dragon's body is strong enough to resist and digest most of the poisons in the world, it is not completely immune to toxins. Although Kalon trusts his followers, he will not entrust his safety to them without a mature food supply team.

Moreover, his trip was not only for hunting and food, but also for inspecting the place chosen by the bronze dragon Alina to build a new city.

In order to show his importance to Alina and to appear in front of the group of eldest sons' pioneers, which would be beneficial to his rule, and the dragon's willingness to protect them with its powerful strength was enough to appease people's hearts.

The huge body of the red dragon swam by at low altitude. Its 31-meter-wide wings and sturdy body cast a huge shadow under the sunlight.

He was not in a hurry on this trip, and was also here to inspect the territory, so he was not flying very fast. Even so, the flapping of his overly large wings still created a strong wind.

The followers at the foot of Dragon's Nest Mountain had long been accustomed to the sight of giant dragons. They just looked up and watched the master of the dragon group fly by. Occasionally, a follower would raise his weapon and cheer, praising the powerful strength of the red dragon.

There were also places where loud explosions were suddenly heard. Karon looked down and saw a dusty goblin banging out of the collapsed half of the house in a panic, while a strong dragon was holding up the beams of the other half of the house for the goblin.

The current goblin Bang Bang had long been driven out of the central camp of the goblin camp and lived near the edge of the camp. With the help of other followers, he had several laboratories dedicated to experiments.

Just now, the goblins destroyed another laboratory with a bang.

Karon's figure continued to fly across the forest towards the Golden City.

Although the main city of the Golden City is some distance away from the coast and the harbor, a tall sentry tower has been built on the reef that protrudes from the original coast. This is to provide early warning and protection for evacuation measures for the harbor. According to the suggestion made by the giant monster Fafna, the future Golden City executive's residence and castle will also be built outside the city near the sea, and this place will also become the most heavily guarded place.

Fafner wants to block the most dangerous place at the gate of the Golden City, which is quite like the idea of administrators guarding the city gate and nobles dying for the country.

The expanded Golden City is extremely vast, and even the current Charon can stop on the streets for sightseeing. However, Charon did not land, but cruised in the air.

His eyes swept over the Dragon Basic Academy, where the number of students was gradually increasing. It was the foundation for the future of the Dragon Kingdom and an indispensable part of building the kingdom's system.

Then it swept across the tall competitive arena that was being built in the center of the city, where many prisoners who refused to obey the dragon's rule and strong and sturdy defeated warriors would be placed in the future, as well as various ferocious beasts and strange creatures.

This is a clear proof of the Dragon Kingdom's martial spirit, and will also be a means of resolving disputes among the people.

There are also opera houses, libraries and large baths that are still under planning, as well as shops that specialize in selling products unique to the dragon territory and some special equipment to be produced in the future. These are all being gradually improved and built.

Karon was quite satisfied with the work ability of the giant demon Fafnir. At least the will of the red dragon had been being carried out steadily by Fafnir.

Although many people in the Golden City have long been accustomed to the presence of dragons, this red dragon, the supreme will that rules this place and the only powerful dragon with a title among the many continental kingdoms and other civilizations in the outside world, is still relatively mysterious.

Except for the battle to expel the Shahuamin, this red dragon rarely came to this golden city, as if the red dragon did not want his overly hideous and huge appearance to disturb the people here, and he had the natural mystery of a superior ruler.

Therefore, even those residents who had lived in the city for a long time, as well as the creatures of various races who had just arrived in the city, stared with wide eyes at the red dragon patrolling its territory.

When all the dragon's followers half-knelt down and saluted the giant dragon in the sky, this atmosphere inspired other people, so everyone put their hands on their chests and saluted the giant dragon in the sky.

"Praise the Lord of Dragons who rules this place, the powerful red king, the embodiment of fire, the ruler of earth and metal!" People echoed the crowd, the noisy voices reached the sky, and the enthusiasm and atmosphere infected the red dragon in the sky.

"Roar," the huge red dragon let out a dragon roar that shook the whole area, and then its figure went away into the distance.

At this time, Count Bartoli, who was standing on the deck of a huge ship in the harbor, retracted his increasingly eager gaze and said to the squinting wizard Xiusier who was also gazing up at him: "What an incredible creature, Xiusier, you said this red dragon is only a young dragon now? I thought it was a young dragon. No wonder even your teacher has so much confidence in this red dragon."

Xiu Sier shook his head and said with a smile: "You are wrong, Bartoli. We have confidence in Kalon not only because of his strength, but also because of his characteristics and rational wisdom. A red dragon with rationality and wisdom, a gifted red dragon, just think about it and feel that his future will be very unexpected!"

The beautiful, tall, short-haired Countess Batholi looked at a woman with long blue hair beside her. The tall and plump Countess was about 1.78 meters tall and was wearing exquisite deerskin flat leather boots. However, this young woman with long blue hair, beautiful face, lazy and indifferent demeanor was a head taller than Countess Batholi.

Countess Bathori smiled at the young woman with long blue hair and said, "Carlit, it seems that my decision to redeem you at a huge price was the right one. If Karon Gogmora is really as Xiusser said, then the reward I can get will satisfy me."

Carlit, who had transformed into a human form, shook her head and said in a flat and cold voice: "You are wrong, Bartoli. I have long since abandoned the dragon group, and the dragon group has also abandoned me and no longer regards me as one of them."

"Those dragon cubs want to tear me to pieces. Even Charon will not tolerate the existence of betrayers. Perhaps all you get is disappointment!"

The young short-haired countess was bold and free-spirited. She smiled softly on her beautiful face, then shrugged, spread her hands, and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. You are just an attitude I use to show to the dragons. Even if this attitude is a little too expensive, I, Bartoli, have never regretted the choice I made. This is who I am!"

The red dragon flew over all the populated areas in the territory. He also passed by a village in the forest. The various crops that were gradually filled with plump fruits made him happy.

The most important goal of the Dragon Territory now is to reclaim wasteland and grow food. On the one hand, it is to avoid restrictions on the development of the territory, and on the other hand, it is also because of the growing dragon population.

Ordinary animals, predatory beasts, such as tigers, in areas with average species resources and scarce prey, the range of activities and hunting territory required by a tiger is generally between 100 and 400 square kilometers. Particularly powerful tigers can even reach 900 square kilometers.

In areas where species resources are abundant and competition is fierce, even a female tiger needs at least ten square kilometers of hunting territory to ensure adequate food supply.

Male tigers, which consume more land than female tigers, need at least 30 square kilometers. In addition, these tigers not only hunt various wild deer, wild sheep, red deer, wild boars and other animals, but also need to eat berries, many large insects and many small animals and beasts in autumn and winter.

Although the world of Ekania is rich in magical power and the species resources in the dragon's territory are extremely abundant, a larger territory is needed to supply the increasingly powerful dragons, because the dragons cannot wantonly destroy the ecological balance because of hunting.

That is something that even the most stupid and cruel five-colored dragon would never do.

With Karon's current size, he needs to eat at least three giant antelopes with an average length of three and a half meters a day to maintain the energy for daily activities. Although he has sufficient magical nourishment, the dragon is not a pure elemental creature.

If he wanted to go without food for a few days or even more than ten days, then Kalon would have to eat several times more food. The appetite of those growing young dragons was also extremely terrifying. The amount of meat consumed by each dragon every day was enough for a family of three to eat for a long time.

Moreover, the dragon territory has an increasing number of dependents and subjects that need to be supported, and the food purchased from other kingdoms in the northern continent and the food hunted can only sustain it for a period of time.

That is why Kallon attaches so much importance to the agricultural foundation. The territory now invests all its efforts in reclaiming land and growing food.

Once the first batch of food is harvested, the followers will no longer have to compete with the dragon for profits. They can use the food instead of hunted food, and the dragon's territory will no longer be controlled by the many kingdoms and nobles of the northern continent.

Karon landed with great joy and landed in front of the vegetable garden full of fruits and vegetables. The villagers in the village had already been alarmed by the huge body of the dragon and were now lying on the ground trembling with fear, not knowing what the dragon in front of them was going to do.

The oldest man in the village was pushed out, and he trembled as he knelt down and bowed to the red dragon, saying, "Your Excellency, Lord Dragon, I don't know what your intention is. Our village also respects the rule of the dragon and has never done anything beyond the laws of the territory. Moreover, the village is very poor now and has not been able to accumulate any gold coins or money!"

"Well, it seems that these ordinary people still have the inherent impression of dragons. Given the dragon's character of not coming here for no reason, they must think that I came here to plunder treasures. These things still require long-term publicity and long-term changes in life."

Karon looked at the villagers who were unable to speak due to fear, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I am just happy to see the results of your hard work. Go to the vegetable garden and pick some fruits for me to taste. I think those fruits seem to be ripe."

The old villagers quickly asked a few young men to pick a bunch of fruits and vegetables, all kinds of them, including tomatoes bigger than an adult's fist, green-skinned oil fruits, and a pumpkin bigger than a washbasin. Even some fruits that cannot be eaten raw were picked by these panicked young people. Each one was shiny and juicy, exuding a fresh fragrance.

Karon's eyes lit up. He took the fruits from the villagers' collar and swallowed them one by one. The dragon's stomach didn't care that some fruits couldn't be eaten raw. He just wanted to taste these fruits.

The mixed aroma of fruits and melons spreads in the mouth, but what arises is a sense of solid accomplishment rather than the feeling of satisfying the appetite.

Karon squinted his eyes, spat out a silver coin, and laughed: "You did a good job. This is the money to buy those fruits. Remember, as long as you obey the dragon's rule, the dragon will protect your safety and your due rights!"

The red dragon took off into the air before he could finish his words, and his huge figure quickly disappeared into the distance.

The villagers who originally wanted to refuse the red dragon's silver coins could only kneel on the ground, kowtow with red eyes and shout loudly: "Thank you great dragon, thank you for the protection of the dragon group, we will always support the rule of the dragon!"

Hey, the demands of these ordinary people are so simple, just to be able to live a good life!
