Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 193 A new beginning

Ten years into the Dragon Calendar, it is late autumn.

Time passes like water, and it is not subject to the will of the world. In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

More than a thousand days and nights seemed like a very long time to short-lived species like humans and gnolls, but for dragons, it was just a short rest.

At the highest peak of the mountains, in the volcanic lair where the Lord of Dragons sleeps, Kalon Gogmora has fallen into ordinary sleep from a deep sleep.

The beating of his heart began to slowly speed up, and his breathing became heavier and more powerful.

After swallowing the spiritual authority that once belonged to the Nightmare King a few years ago, Kalon's dormant main consciousness influenced his subconscious mind, and he has been subtly using the mental energy in his body to cleanse and flush this authority.

It was not until recently that Caron gradually digested and analyzed it. The enormous spiritual authority turned into the nourishment of his knowledge and became the key for him to open another major door.

The ancestral dragon blood in Kalon's body emerged from the depths of his blood, forming a source of dragon blood composed of countless tiny and broken runes.

This is the source of every dragon's bloodline, the foundation of their abilities, and the source of power created by the Dragon God when all dragons were born.

But this source power is incomplete and imperfect. Perhaps the source power in the blood of all the dragons in the world added together can be comparable to the essential power of the founding dragon god Io that remains in the bodies of the five-colored dragon queen Tiamat or the platinum dragon god Bahamut.

Even with Karon's extremely strong spiritual power and will, it took him several years to refer to the research results of the evil dragon's true blood from the young red dragon Caedilos, and finally capture and anchor this root power in the deepest part of his own blood, which is close to the rules.

This subtle root power gradually grew stronger during years of slumber, representing the continuous growth of the Ancestral Dragon blood in Kalon's body.

When Charon transitioned from deep sleep to ordinary sleeping state, under the influence of his main consciousness, the enormous mental power accumulated throughout his youth and the immeasurable mental power drawn from his relatives and subjects poured into the depths of his blood.

The spiritual authority - gluttony, was also thrown into the root of the bloodline at this time, causing that trace of bloodline to expand rapidly. In the river of ancestral blood, it actually made a sound like a giant beast drinking water, gurgling, echoing in the entire nest.

Even this almost immeasurable mental power and the spiritual authority with magical powers still seemed unable to meet the enhancement that Kalon expected.

Only a few pieces of information quietly emerged in the long river of Kalon's blood.

[Blood Solidification - Super-Limited Growth]: All aspects of your body's qualities will grow to the maximum extent within the range of your blood growth, and your potential will be developed to the maximum extent.

[Blood Solidification - Mind Overclocking]: With a strong mind and will, one can always be in overclocking mode, and can freely exert all strength and abilities.

[Bloodline Solidification - ****]: Everything has its roots. They are the nutrients of your bloodline and the ladder to your power. You, the predator, stand at the top!
In addition, there is still a lot of information waiting for Caron to digest, but all this is coming to an end.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

After completing all this, the sound of hammers hitting drums could be heard in the nest, which became faster and faster. Those were the two hearts in the red dragon's body, which began to adjust their operating modes to adapt to the upcoming change.

And in the boiling magma lake, a huge red dragon slowly emerged from the sea of fire, nineteen meters from head to tail!
……

The City of Gold, a city named after a precious and treasured thing, seems to always be prone to disasters. It is built and destroyed, and then destroyed and rebuilt.

After completely wiping out the orcs who had invaded the Orc Kingdom from the territory, those orcs were no longer able to launch attacks on the territory.

Even though the Orc Kingdom still has a large number of legions, they no longer have enough ships and excess material reserves to sustain the war.

Thus the war officially ended, and the dragon's territory was still flying the dragon's royal flag.

Because of this war, all the dragon lords unanimously decided to build the Golden City in the same scale and defense as the King's Capital, and to build this most important seaport into a solid fortress city.

The entire city's walls are built of solid granite, up to 25 meters high. Countless heavy cannons and giant crossbows are distributed on the battlements of the walls, overlooking the entire wide coastline.

This huge project will undoubtedly require a huge amount of manpower and material resources, especially since the Dragon Territory lost a lot of population after the war, and the residents who had already moved to the west had to settle in the newly developed homes and could not move back easily.

This made the dragon lords regret not keeping those orcs and exploiting them as labor.

But the goblin Shanshan, who was sent to trade with other continents and many countries, played an important role at this time.

This bold and clever goblin merchant not only recruited a large number of mercenaries when the war between orcs and dragons began, but also supported the war in the territory.

After hearing the news of the war's end and the dragons' victory, this guy actually spent all the profits from the past few years of business to build a huge commercial fleet before even restoring communications with the territory.

This fleet of hundreds of ships set out from the southernmost port of Lika on the central continent, renting and purchasing ships and engaging in slave trade along the way.

Send ships full of people to the territory to replenish the territory's population resources and provide a large population for territory reconstruction.

What the goblin Shanshan had not expected was that although many nobles in the northern countries claimed that the dragons were good at bewitching people and using magic to deceive humans and refugees of various races to settle down, some nobles had even begun to cut off slave trade with the dragon territories.

There are still a considerable number of free refugees who are spontaneously moving towards the dragon's territory, because these people don't care about evil or justice, they just heard that in the dragon's territory they can have enough food, own their own houses and land, and they just need to be able to live well.

The research of scholars on Dragon Territory and the propaganda of many adventurers and bards, including the copper dragon Alfred, made Dragon Territory a golden land longed for in the hearts of these refugees who lived a hard life.

These populations, together with the dragon's dependent races whose numbers are easily growing, have greatly improved the efficiency of city construction with the support of the development of the magic industry.

Although the quarry is far away from the Golden City, scholars at the research center have already put the magic steam engine into practical use. The first planned track has been laid, and the roaring magic steam train has begun to shuttle between the Golden City and the quarry.

Although this giant machine that combines magic and industrial technology often breaks down and needs repair every few days, and its wooden tracks also need to be replaced and maintained frequently, it is still countless times more efficient than using human and animal power.

So in the past few years, the Golden City, which is almost rebuilt, has become a truly majestic city, tall and majestic, a giant city built specifically according to the standards of a dragon.

Especially on the tall city gate that faces all visitors to the harbor, there hangs a huge head, which is eaten by dragons and is a proof of showing off military power. It is the skull of the ancient giant, Behemoth.

Most visitors will feel a sense of emotion the moment they see this scene. In a land ruled by dragons, brutal force and spiritual civilization coexist.

After several years of recovery, this tall golden city has regained its former prosperity. Not only do ships full of people sail into the harbor every ten days or half a month, but even the farthest southern continent is frequented by merchant groups and adventurers.

However, those who had just arrived in the territory would always find that there were two more adult bronze dragons in the coastal areas of the Gold Coast, frequently traveling across the sea.

These two adult bronze dragons salvaged many shipwrecks from the seabed and used them as their temporary nests, living on the edge of the sea.

These self-proclaimed righteous bronze dragons have had many disputes with the dragon lords of the dragon territory in recent years. The main reason is that two bronze dragons feel that the laws of the territory are too harsh and often condemn the law enforcement of the dragon territory.

However, these two bronze dragons had no awareness that they were in someone else's territory. Although they did not violate the laws of the dragon group, they actually occupied a piece of sea as their nest and did not even pay taxes.

Although the dragon group could bring their followers to forcibly expel or even kill the two bronze dragons, they were wary 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 real dragons active in the world of Ekania are in the adolescent to adult stages, even old dragons rarely appear, let alone ancient dragons, but the dragon group does not think that there are no old creatures who have lived for a long time behind the other side.

Without a real backbone to lead, the dragons could not easily stir up trouble, and could only hide their minions and endure for the time being. In this situation, even a group of dragons that seemed to be quite powerful had to be cautious, and this was the true microcosm of the evil dragons in the world of Ekania today.

These evil dragons no longer have the glory of ancient times. Not only do they have to face increasingly powerful humanoid races and many intelligent races, they also have to fight against ancient enemies that are stronger than themselves, the metal dragons.

The short-sighted, greedy, obsessed with infighting, and arrogant five-colored dragons have not completely withdrawn from the stage of history. Thanks to the innate strong vitality of these dragons, they can hide and grow in any corner of the world.

Even though the dragons in the dragon group have become extremely united after the war with the Orc Kingdom, they still cannot change the general trend of the world.

Only the resentful ogre giant Fafna made notes about the two bronze dragons in her little notebook.

This giant monster, who has some unique understanding of managing wealth, manages the treasure house for the dragon group and is also the tax officer of the dragon group's territory.

During the years of war and reconstruction of the territory, the dragon group's treasury also spent a considerable amount of wealth, which made the giant demon Fafna want to fill the treasury as soon as possible before her master woke up in order to obtain the red dragon's reward.

Therefore, Fafner had no good feelings towards the bronze dragon that consumed a large amount of food resources in the territory and did not pay taxes. Every time they met, she would have a cold face, roll her eyes, and look down on him.

But today, Fafner rarely smiled, and greeted two bronze dragons that had transformed into human forms on the busy street with a smile.

Not only Fafna, but the entire Golden City and all the people in the entire territory are in a joyful mood today.

The supreme lord who rules the entire territory and is rumored to be the King of Gold or despised as the Evil Dragon Tyrant, Kalon Gogmora, will awaken today.

Today is not only the day of victory in the war with orcs, but also the day when the Kingdom of Dragons is officially established. The day when the red dragon wakes up is the day when the country is established.

Not only are countless people looking forward to the awakening of the Red Dragon Lord, but those loyal warriors are also looking forward to the awakening of their master.

Although the dragons held a celebration banquet and decided on rewards, pensions and promotions for soldiers in order to consolidate the kingdom's faith when the war was won, in the hearts of these warriors, it was an imperfect experience without the participation of the Red Dragon Monarch.

Loyal warriors long for the approving gaze and affirmation of the supreme monarch, which is irreplaceable by any dragon lord.

The bronze dragons Gross and Natarelli followed behind a tall, handsome young man with blond hair, looking at the giant monster who always hated them with puzzled expressions.

The bronze dragon could sense the obvious malice of others, but today the other party's malice disappeared without a trace, and the dragon even took the initiative to greet him.

Next to them stood a tall woman with silver hair. Her cold temperament was particularly eye-catching even behind the blond young man who was as arrogant as a powerful noble.

The handsome blond young man was already tall enough, but the silver-haired woman's figure was not inferior to his, and she looked more mature and refined.

These two guys have special identities, enough to make two adult bronze dragons willing to follow them. They both have huge energy and powerful abilities.

The ancestor of the young golden dragon Obilash Rubick, his father is not only a powerful noble in the human kingdom, but also one of the leaders in the Good Dragon Alliance, the golden flash - Mogsa Rubick.

Its mother is also an adult silver dragon with excellent bloodline and many good friends. As we all know, silver dragons are better at attracting people than gold dragons, and the dragon vein circle of an adult silver dragon is unpredictable.

The silver-haired woman was the younger sister of Obirash's mother, Chris Tiana, known as the Holy Valkyrie. She 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 blood talent is even better than her sister's. She has been a well-known genius in the Silver Dragon clan since her youth, so she is very proud of herself.

She was even so proud that she looked down upon the powerful Golden Dragon. She once made a vow that only those of the same age who could defeat her would have the opportunity to pursue her.

This was also the beginning of her road to fame. Countless young dragons were defeated by this silver dragon in duels. Even golden dragons of the same age were no match for her. Therefore, she was hailed as a holy Valkyrie.

Her elder sister also wanted to tie up her proud younger sister, the Valkyrie Chris Tiana who was in charge of the Silver Dragon Paladins, and use the noble ancestral dragon blood in her son, Obilash, to subdue him.

But it was obvious that the proud and mature Valkyrie looked down on her nephew and ignored the golden dragon, who was so arrogant that even his golden hair stood up.

A few people walked along the busy street, which was filled with hurried crowds of residents hurrying to get to Gogomorra Square.

Today, in order to celebrate with all the subjects, spellcasters used magic to build a projection system in the center of the square, allowing those residents who were unable to go to the royal capital to watch the founding ceremony and celebration ceremony to share in the joy.

Obilash frowned. The people rushing through the crowd couldn't touch the clothes of this noble young man, 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. It is said that the forest dragon Antajena, whose scales are more beautiful than emeralds, I want to see this noble dragon lord the most to see if he is as beautiful as the legend says."

"I would like to see Crimson Roar Caedilos and Scarlet King Clenaya. It is said that they are of the same clan as the Supreme Overlord and have the same majesty as the Overlord. I don't know if the Supreme Overlord will wake up today. If I can see them, it will be enough for me to brag about for several days."

"Stupid, if you can see it, then everyone can see it, what can you brag about!"

"You're the idiot. I'll just brag to those new guys."

Two humans who had recently moved into the territory hurried past, but their conversation was completely heard by Obilash.

In the legends of adventurers and bards, the dragon lords have already become famous, such as the storm dragon Dos, the ice dragon Kamide, the forest dragon Antajiana, etc. These distant and ancient names were originally set up for those powerful dragon lords.

Ordinary dragons are not qualified to be called that, as it will only lead to ridicule and challenges.

"Haha, are these ordinary dragons worthy of the title of powerful lords? Gross, you are right. Evil must be suppressed, and the best way is to trample it underfoot, conquer it, tame it, and rule it."

A sneer crossed Obilash's proud face. He turned to the two bronze dragons and said, "Let's go. It looks like today is going to be a big event. It's just right. In front of everyone, I will challenge the ancient dragon lords' 'Skshit' battle against the red dragon that has been so flattered by false reputation that it can no longer recognize itself."

"I will defeat him in front of everyone, crush him under my feet, then take over his dragons, rule his territory, and make him my watchdog, guarding my treasure trove. Only a golden dragon is worthy of establishing a dragon civilization!"

"Tsk," Silver Dragon Chrissy Tiana sneered in her heart, thinking that her nephew was really too stupid.

The opponent is an evil dragon, albeit a rational one. But once Obilash provokes the opponent, the opponent will not care about morality and will definitely rush forward.

During this period of travel, the silver dragon Chrissie Tiana had already discovered that this territory was different from other dragon kingdoms. The warriors who were loyal to the dragons had exceptionally strong combat power and discipline.

There are also those terrifying war machines and a huge army of spellcasters.

Once a formal conflict breaks out between the two sides, not to mention a teenage golden dragon, even an adult golden dragon will die here.

She would have to take action then. It would be so embarrassing to run away with this idiot whose head is filled with arrogance.

"Tsk," the Silver Dragon Valkyrie shook her head quietly. If it weren't for the two thousand gold coins given by her sister, she would not bother to pay attention to this guy.

However, the silver dragon quickly covered her wallet with a look of heartache. She had lost nearly 800 of the 2,000 gold coins she had received from her sister in the Dragon Eternal Card Hall, but had only opened one purple card so far.

"I really hate these damn guys. They are really good at cheating people out of money. I have to find a chance to beat them up!"

　Em, I wanted to finish writing a big chapter, but I don’t have enough time
