Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 404 Family
"Djo (Wandering Dragon)"

As the incantation was uttered, a pale red glow enveloped Hela.

The brilliance lasted only a moment, and the "transformation" was already over.

When the pale red dragon appeared before Rean, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking he was still dreaming.

"Hoo-hoo... cough, I mean, is it really necessary to be so surprised? Isn't this the reason for your surprise?"

Hela's "accusations" left Rean speechless.

He carefully examined the little dragon in front of him. The feedback from the previous contract was absolutely correct; it was indeed a "young dragon".

With a body only about three meters long, covered in the reddish skin of an immature dragon, overly slender claws and feet, a long and delicate neck, and a triangular head with smooth curves, it even seemed somewhat handsome after a while.

"Wait, I need to pay attention to my aesthetic sense."

"so cute!!"

Meanwhile, Sallyman over there seemed to be indicating that, in the eyes of ordinary people, this baby dragon was indeed quite adorable.

But the next moment, Rean shook his head. Snakes' aesthetic sense is actually quite similar to that of dragons. This wasn't the first time Suliman had stared blankly at her own scales.

Right in front of Rean, the little dragon kept tapping the floor with its tail.

"Phew, not cute at all! I'm clearly a fierce dragon! Very fierce! Awooo!"

The one who let out the dragon's roar was Hela herself. It seems that as she changes, she also behaves in a way that is more in line with her age.

That's true. A sixteen-year-old Dragonborn is probably still at the "middle school" standard, while a sixteen-year-old Dragon is just a baby.

Watching the "Baby Dragon" trying to stand up but falling down, Rean probably understood why she had never used this ability.

Whether they are strong or not is another matter, but losing one's rationality is a fatal flaw.

Making a fool of yourself is one thing, but doing something stupid on the battlefield can cost you your life.

"Can the powerful Long Yan be combined?"

However, this does not mean that the Dragon's Word is weak. In fact, it can only transform into a dragon for a short period of time. It is a supernatural power that only Archdruids and Archwarders of the seventh ring or above can reach.

At this stage, their transformation into a young or teenage dragon is difficult to categorize as either an enhancement or a weakening. Generally, only those with strength exceeding the ninth ring possess true combat value in their "dragon transformation," and they are extremely powerful.

The focus is always on the possibility, not on immediate combat capability.

"But if I were to become a dragon, and allow my dragon nature to overwhelm my humanity, I would completely transform into a three-headed dragon."

Rean estimated that the intensity was definitely not low.

Moreover, characters can be combined. Rean remembers that Hela has a "wind" character, so can a wind dragon be created?
"No, these two characters can only be combined to form 'Dragon's Breath,' which can blow people high in the air, it's really fun!"

As he spoke, the little dragon looked at Rean expectantly, its large, watery eyes filled with anticipation, as if it were hinting at something.

Uh, you want me to lift you up high? Rean understood, but silently turned his head away, pretending not to understand. He couldn't do it, he really couldn't.

I need to save my old back for later use.

"woooooo"

Seemingly sensing something, the dejected young dragon looked frustrated, with a slightly piercing gaze from behind Suliman, but Rean tried to change the subject.

"Waaaaah."

Finally, large tears fell, and Rean was numb.

Seeing the heartbroken little red dragon, he gritted his teeth and went over to him.

"Phew." To be honest, lifting him was easier than I expected. Judging by the stats alone, Rean's strength and physique are probably no less than those of the young dragon.

With a determined look, Rean raised his arms.

As the young dragon, weighing at least several tons, was slowly lifted, above him came cheerful giggles. Rean gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to go one more step, and then...
"Huh, it really isn't heavy."

"Um, put me down."

Rean quickly let go, allowing "Qianjin" to land directly on the ground.

Looking up again, I saw a blushing face and a girl trying to cover the bottom of her skirt.

"My 'dragon' only lasts three minutes."

"Where did this giant of light come from?" Before Rean could even retort, the embarrassed girl left with a "I have something to do" and ran off in a flash.

Seeing the girl running away with her back to Rean and his group, covering the bottom of her buttocks, Rean couldn't stop her.

This is the first time I've seen the girl in such a disheveled state since we met.

"No rush, let's verify it later."

Rean estimated that the baby dragon still couldn't be contracted, but if she could obtain the right characters and use the "two-word phrase" to transform, she should be able to obtain the contract.

Then, I might be able to benefit from the other party's dragon words. Putting aside everything else, the potential of this "dragon" is extremely high.

"Rean!!"

But Sallyman, standing behind him, suddenly became unhappy again.

Wait a minute, didn't you tell me to pick her up? Why are you blaming me now?

Looking at the pouting girl, Rean wasn't really stupid.

He walked over gently and picked her up.
"So light." First, it was lifted high, then it swayed like a waltz.

"I'm so dizzy. Stop it." The girl, who was complaining while laughing like a silver bell, did not resist at all.

Then, her voice was cut off.
-
The dinner incident passed quickly. Rean contacted Dania and scheduled a time for their contract. She had been quite busy these past few days and was currently working overtime.

Rean was quite interested in her dragon language; her "King" and "Divine Flame" were both powerful dragon languages ​​at first glance. It was a pity he should let her use his dragon language now.
"It could also be a regular spell; dragons have quite a few innate spells."

Rean could sense that this contract was a continuous channel, similar to a magical pet contract, and that the two parties had formed a kind of alliance contract.

In other words, as it grows, the transaction amount and upper limit can continue to increase.

Perhaps, with the addition of more dragonborn and half-dragons, this network of bloodlines and contracts will continue to expand.

"Uh, back in the era of the Dragonborn, it couldn't have been like this, could it? That would have been quite terrifying."

The biggest weakness of the Dragonborn has always been the quantity and instability of Dragon Words. If they could be "traded" on a large scale, their strength and potential would be guaranteed.

Rean didn't think he would be the first to discover it. The history of the Dragon Pact was even longer than the civilization of the beastmen. Perhaps, this was one of the legacies of that era.

"Perhaps, this is how they form a family."

Many dragonborn and half-dragons are often the product of irresponsible families. They lack trust in their relatives but have a strong desire for them. Perhaps back then, it was the dragonborn and half-dragon families formed by the "Dragon Pact" that constituted that short but glorious era.

As their era ended, this contract naturally lost most of its value and could only be used for trades and alliances between dragons and warlocks.

"Perhaps, I can also rebuild a dragon family of my own."
