Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 119: Dragon
"Haha, do you think I'm kidding you?"

The red dragon's thorny face revealed an inexplicable hideousness, its sharp white fangs flashed with cold light, and its pair of red pupils contained no desire at all, but were filled with complete rationality and indifference.

"Fafna, I let you manage the Golden City not because I am attracted by your body and beauty, but because I am attracted by your wisdom which is slightly better than that of the monsters. Now it seems that your wisdom is only slightly better than that of the monsters."

Karon's eyes were calm as he looked down at Fafner whose expression changed. At this moment, the giant monster felt like a prey being stared at by a predator on the grassland. A chill rose from the tail of his spine and reached his head.

"Next time you use such despicable means instead of coming to me for something important, I will really eat you up, Fafner. I would rather you come to me to ask for credit and reward instead of trying to influence me."

"In the hope of using her beauty and body to achieve a certain goal,"

Karon's pupils became brighter and brighter, and there was a faint flame dancing in his eyes. His dragon power gathered and made Fafner, who had an exceptionally strong mental power, turn pale.

If it weren't for the mental power that Fafner provided him with, and his diligence in managing the Golden City for the dragons and himself during this period, Karon would have made some contributions, but he would have worked hard.

He would have driven the giant monster back to the slave camp long ago to add bricks and tiles to the castle for himself and the dragon group.

He is a red dragon, so if he has such needs, he will definitely not lack beauties.

Take the green dragon Antajena for example. Although the green dragon's dragon form is not considered beautiful in the red dragon's aesthetic sense, he can transform Antajena into an elf, whose beauty is not necessarily inferior to that of a giant monster.

Even if his taste is a little more unique, he can even use the magical knowledge he learned from those wizards to summon succubi from the abyss of hell.

Although Caron knew the charm brought by his appearance and strength, he was always sober and keenly aware that the giant demon Fafnir's sincerity was a bit deliberate ingratiation and flattery, and there must be other purposes behind it.

"My master, the king of dragons," the plump and beautiful Fafner knelt down, her body heavy with full and mellow fruits like a delicate flower swaying in the wind.

Fafna said tremblingly: "Your eyes are like a torch that illuminates all darkness. My thoughts cannot be hidden from you. I came here because I have entered adulthood. The blood talent from the ancient demigod, the three-headed sea monster Decalutus, is driving me to find a powerful creature that can carry my blood talent."

"The talent of the ancient demigod, the three-headed siren Decalitus?" The memory of the dragon inheritance flashed through Charon's mind. The ancient North Sea Siren who occupied the seven seas of the Ekania world was a powerful demigod.

This demigod enslaved countless creatures in the sea and enjoyed devouring the souls and flesh of countless passers-by and creatures. She was the ruler of the North Sea in ancient times. She formed a partnership with a giant king and they rose and fell together.

Even when facing the overlord of the sea, the bronze dragon among the giant dragons, she never retreated even a single step.

In ancient times, after the long war between Titans and Dragons, in the war between Giants and Dragons, this demigod siren and his mate, the king of hill giants.

They were all torn to pieces by the sharp claws of the powerful Five-Colored Dragon Prince, the great creation of the Five-Colored Dragon God Tiamat, and their souls fell into the endless abyss.

It is still said that deep in the North Sea lies the former palace and ruins of the demigod mermaid.

However, Karon did not know what kind of blood talent this ancient demigod, the three-headed siren, possessed, but from the rumors and the fact that his own mental energy had once countered the blood perception of the ogre giant Fafner, he guessed that it must be related to the mysterious soul.

Sure enough, as the giant demon Fafna told the story, Karon was able to truly understand the giant demon's blood talent, which was quite powerful.

The giant monster's soul-devouring talent can be said to be more domineering than the dragon's enslavement spell. It can devour and contain the opponent's soul, forming a symbiotic relationship between the master and the deputy, making the giant monster seem to have an extra head and possess all the abilities of the swallowed object.

Moreover, most of the opponent's qualities and attributes will be supplemented to the giant monster, allowing the giant monster to gradually possess the same qualities and attributes as the opponent.

In other words, Fafner can evolve in the direction where the other party is superior to herself based on the symbiotic relationship of souls.

"Hmm," Karon was also somewhat surprised by the talent of the giant demon Fafnir. He guessed some of Fafnir's thoughts and had the idea of throwing Fafnir into his laboratory as an experimental subject to lure the dragon.

His red pupils stared at the expression on the giant monster's face and asked, "So, you are coveting the power of the red dragon, Fafner."

"Yes, my Lord, I pray for your grace to allow me to use my talents so that I can better serve you and the dragons."

Fafna did not dare to use her charm ability again, but chose to speak out her purpose sincerely and directly. This trick had never worked in front of the red dragon, even when she entered adulthood and her charm ability was enhanced, she had never shaken the red dragon's will.

At this moment, Fafnir began to doubt whether the other party was a cruel, lustful, greedy, chaotic and uncontrollable red dragon. Even if the will was strong, how could there be a creature that could completely control its instincts?

Karon didn't even have a second to think before he rejected the giant demon Fafna's request. Even though the giant demon's talent was quite useful to him. The red dragon's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his tone became a little fierce.
"Fafna, I think the comfortable life you've had these days has made you forget something. Even if the red dragon becomes my prisoner, only a dragon can enslave a dragon."

"You can't overcome the trapped dragon," said Caron, as he swung out his long tail, which hit Fafner, who was kneeling on the ground, like a whip, and sent the beautiful enchantress flying into the air.

puff,
The giant demon Fafner spat out a mouthful of blue blood in mid-air and then fell to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang,
Caron's huge body stepped forward and walked to the fallen Fafner. He looked down and said indifferently, "Fafner, put away your little thoughts. I have been tolerant enough to allow others to make mistakes, but if it happens again, I will crush you to death."

"Go back and think carefully about how you can use your abilities to create more value for me. When your contributions are sufficient, I will not be stingy with my rewards."

Hulong,

Caron left the ogre giant standing there in a daze, spread his wings wide enough to block the giant monster Fafna's entire vision, and soared into the sky with the wind.

As Karon flew in the air, he could vaguely hear the farmers returning home at dusk, humming dragon songs and some adapted dragon songs as they returned to their homes.

These country ballad-like songs have begun to spread in densely populated areas of the territory through the singing of bards recruited by the Copper Dragon Alfred. Even some human children and their cubs will occasionally sing a few lines.

There were some diligent Pik elf agricultural inspectors wearing hats woven from wheat ears and chestnut stalks, and they were still in the fields urging those overworked farmers to return home.

Even though this place is only a few dozen miles away from the dragon's nest in the mountains, there are still many wild beasts appearing at night. Although these beasts are just small animals and food for the dragons and their followers, they are still a deadly threat to ordinary farmers.

When Charon flew over the Golden City, the bell on the tallest bell tower in the Golden City happened to be ringing.

The melodious bell sounded like a time switch, and in an instant lights were lit up everywhere in the golden city.

Amid the lights of thousands of homes, one could occasionally hear the voices of bards singing loudly in the city.

When the Red Dragon saw this scene from the high clouds, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

At the dock, large and small ships were docked at the port. Under the guidance of the guards in the shore tower, many ships were queuing up to enter and exit in an orderly manner. Even in the evening, the flow of people in the entire port still seemed a bit hurried.

Looking down from the clouds, Kalon actually saw a large ship flying the flag of the Orc Kingdom. Many fox girls who were famous for their beauty in the human continents were looking at this emerging city curiously on the ship.

There were also many leopard men guarding the ship, and many pig men as slaves, surrounding an orc who was tall and burly, with yellow-brown skin and a face that looked somewhat similar to a human, but more like a hybrid of a human and a pig, with several inverted teeth protruding from his lips.

This is the orthodox bloodline of the ancient orcs, and those leopard men, pig men, and fox girls are said to be the bloodline of the ancient orcs mating with extraordinary creatures of other races or some magical animals.

When Karon saw this, he couldn't help but marvel at it. He felt that the tastes and aesthetics of those ancient orcs seemed to be comparable to those of the dragon race.

At this time, many pig slaves pulled out a long list of slaves tied with ropes from the cabin. There were not only orcs and humans, but also some lizardmen and barbarians among them.

It seems that the business of the Dragon Territory has gradually become famous. Even the Orc Kingdom on the other side of the sea has learned about it and wants to sell slaves to the Dragon Territory.

Charon was just going to pass by, but among the slaves tied up with ropes, a human with messy golden hair caught his attention.

It was not how amazing this human's appearance was, but in Karon's naturally diffused perception, the life breath of this human was as messy as the hair on his head, with more than ten different life breaths emerging all over his body.

This human looked to be in his sixties, which was considered an elderly person in the human world.

But in Caron's eyes, the vitality in this human's body is more vigorous than those teenagers of eighteen or nineteen years old, but this human does not yet have the seed of power and the aura of magic.

"This human is an ordinary person, but he has extraordinary behavior," this thought flashed through Caron's mind, and he became curious and interested in exploring.

However, many things now did not require Caron to do it personally. He put the matter aside for the time being, flew over the harbor, and crashed into the sea after flying out of the sea for dozens of miles.

According to the customized recipe, Karon's dinner choice tonight is the fish from the sea. Karon's body is swimming in the sea water. Although the red dragon does not like the water environment, it does not hate it. Karon likes the feeling of swimming in the sea.

His strong body allowed him to move freely in the sea effortlessly. Although his speed was not as fast as those giant dragons such as bronze dragons and sea dragons that were accustomed to living in aquatic environments, it was still faster than many sea fish.

He searched for his target. Normal-sized sea fish were just snacks in front of his huge body and could not even make up for the energy consumed in hunting.

Charon wanted to taste the Sahuagin, the favorite of bronze dragons and blue dragons. The last time the Sahuagin invaded, he was so busy killing them that he didn't have time to taste this creature.

As for whether this monster belongs to the category of intelligent creatures, Kalon directly turned on the bronze dragon's dual standard mode. After all, it is not a humanoid creature, so he has no psychological reaction when eating it.

But Charon was not lucky today. After their tribe was killed and dispersed, the Shahua people were already afraid of the dragon territory.

In addition, the Dragon Territory has issued a bounty for hunting the Shahua fishmen. Now, within dozens of miles of the Dragon Territory's waters, there is not a single trace of Shahua fishmen.

Kalon had to reluctantly catch a seven-meter-long swordfish. The swordfish was quite ferocious. After failing to escape, it actually fought back at the red dragon with its upper jaw like a slender spear tip in front of its head. As a result, Kalon slapped it and it fainted.

However, just as Caron was enjoying his meal, his natural senses detected a pair of prying eyes watching him in the sea.

He remained silent and continued to enjoy his dinner while quietly focusing his senses and looking for the source of the gazes that were spying on him.

But the other party was obviously very alert. When Karon used his perception to find the other party's trace, he only saw a long blue tail disappearing into the sea.

The tail of this mysterious creature is somewhat similar to that of a dragon, but at the tip of its tail it has a pair of webbed wings similar to those of a fish.

"Could this creature be the sea-dwelling dragon that Doss and Akzi once talked about?" Karon didn't see the whole appearance of the other party and was not sure. The world is too big, and many magical animals would not be recorded even in the dragon heritage.

"It seems that the other party has been secretly watching the dragon's territory, but it doesn't seem to have any ill intentions," Kalon shook his head and ignored it for the time being, but he had already planned to let the blue dragon Dos and Akzi pay more attention to the sea area.

The red dragon swallowed its prey, then emerged from the sea and flew towards its dragon nest.

For the next month, Karon basically spent his time exploring magic and patrolling the territory.

Now many things in the Dragon Territory have been put on the right track. Although many of them have only roughly built some frameworks, fortunately, we only need to continue to supplement and expand on the basis in the future.

The blacksmith shop of the dwarf Kragon was moved outside the city due to its gradual expansion, and a foundry specializing in iron casting was established.

The letter from the dwarf Kragon has not received a reply yet, but the dwarf has recruited three blacksmiths who are also dwarves from among the adventurers. Under the teaching of the dwarf blacksmiths, the apprentices have gradually grown, and their technical experience in casting and smelting has become richer, and their efficiency has greatly increased for a time.

Even an institution dedicated to raising and taming wild animals has been established. It is named the Animal Farm and is dedicated to artificially breeding and optimizing meat-producing species for the territory, and cultivating and optimizing various poultry and beasts for the territory.

Many wild horses, bison, and wild sheep on the grassland, which reproduce rapidly and can be used as meat and as working livestock, were captured and then domesticated. This place is also the favorite place of Black Dragon Rossani.

During this period of time, Charon's exclusive laboratory was built with the generous donations of those mages. It was just a rather simple laboratory, located in the canyon surrounded by dragon nests in the mountains. It was also the location of the dragon nest of the young dragons.

However, what Charon cared about was not the laboratory itself which was made entirely of stone, but those precious magical instruments and equipment used for research and exploration, as well as the knowledge of using these equipment.

If Karon were to raise these things on his own, even if he spent several times more gold coins, they would not necessarily be better than what these mages brought.

Therefore, during this period of time, Karon had to take out some time to ask the wizard Xiuser for this knowledge, which was the knowledge he had to master for his future research.

In these busy days, Charon almost forgot the human man who aroused his curiosity on the orc ship.

Fortunately, he had already instructed the imperial guards guarding the Dragon's Nest to notify the Governor of the Golden City, Fafnir, to buy all the slaves from the Orc Kingdom.

However, he did not have time to explore the secrets of this man for the time being, because the werewolf Yougu Feiniao reported that the team for exploration had been fully equipped and assembled, waiting for Karon's order.

So Kalon instructed the dragons that after he left the territory, all affairs should remain running normally, and the dragon territory would be temporarily managed by the white dragon Gemot and the blue dragon Dos, who would supervise and supervise each other.

The red dragon flapped its wings and came to the cliff of the magic portal.

At this time, teams of heavily armored warriors armed to the teeth had already stood in line under the leadership of the werewolf Yugu. During Yugu's training, the werewolf soldiers had already acquired the same discipline as ordinary human soldiers.

Each of these tall gnoll barbarians was wearing full-body iron armor, making them look twice as tall. The gnoll leader Yugu was also wearing a heavy suit of armor, with only his head, covered with thick blood-red mane, showing.

Each of the tin-can-sized werewolf warriors held a sharp hunting rifle. Although the hunting rifle seemed a bit long in the forest, it was the weapon that could be made in the shortest time in the dragon territory. It only required a simple flat gun head and a tough wooden pole.

These gnolls also had several short spears made of iron and wood hanging around their waists, and held a half-person-high wooden tower shield in their right hands.

With such comprehensive protection, these powerful werewolf soldiers can only be dealt with if they are hit by a close-range volley of powerful crossbows or a massive magical torrent bombardment.

But the several mid- and high-level mages and Gnoll spellcasters standing behind these elite Gnoll soldiers are no pushovers.

If there weren't many mages left behind to maintain the operation of the plane portal, there would be even more spellcasters entering the Green Forest.

Then came several hundred ogres with subsequent food and supplies. Although these ogres also carried weapons, Karon did not count on the ogres' combat effectiveness on this trip.

The role of these dog-headed men is to guard and maintain the outpost where the portal to the Green Forest plane is located.

As well as the tests made in the early stages, after testing the lives of more than a dozen kobold followers, the mages finally determined the specific location of the plane portal and chose an uninhabited place.

Kalon's huge body descended from the air and then transformed into a dragon form.

Although the target plane of this exploration has a low upper limit of strength, Charon's huge body makes it easy for him to become a target of concentrated fire. Before personally confirming the situation of the alien plane, Charon chose to keep a low profile.

When the dragon followers saw the red dragon, they all saluted and shouted excitedly, "Our King!"

Karon nodded and greeted the squinty-eyed wizard Xiuser and his group who were walking over.

"Karon," the squinty-eyed wizard Xiuser asked the red dragon for its opinion. Although this exploration was proposed by these wizards, the red dragon became the person in charge.

"Let's go. I also want to experience the charm of the other dimension," Kallon responded.

Those mages injected their magic power into the magic circle of the plane portal. In the huge magic circle, the magic crystals as big as an adult's fist were lit up one by one, and a tall portal rose slowly in front of everyone.

The gnoll Yougu took the lead, leading the gnoll barbarians with tower shields into the plane portal. Teams of warriors with full body protection entered the plane portal.

Then came hundreds of ogre auxiliaries and gnoll spellcasters carrying baggage, and finally eight mages including Karon and Xiuser.

When passing through the plane portal, Charon could feel his consciousness stagnant and blank for a brief moment, but he subconsciously activated his mental energy to wrap up his soul and consciousness.

The next moment, his consciousness, which seemed to be frozen in time and space, resumed its normal functioning and gradually became active.

But before Caron's eyes, he could see nothing except the endless distortion of time and space, the curtains woven by all kinds of messy light and time and space curves. His perception could not be extended either, and he became a bird trapped in a black cage.

Caron didn't know how much time had passed. It seemed like only seconds, yet it also seemed like days. In this distorted view of time, he had already crossed an immeasurable distance into the vastness of space.

When Caron regained his normal perception and five senses, what he saw was no longer those chaotic and dazzling curtains, but blue sky, white clouds and lush green fields.

The forest was exceptionally quiet, as if there was an invisible sound barrier that blocked all sounds from the outside world.

But the moist and gentle breeze blowing on his face made Caron realize that a new world had unfolded its mysterious veil before him.
