Red Dragon, but chosen by all four gods

The liches' defeat was without any suspense, except that before they were completely crushed by Macalos, he let out a cry of inexplicable horror.

Heros didn't hear what he shouted, but that didn't matter anymore.

When the giant fish appeared, the dragonborn guards, who had been lying in ambush, moved out together and wiped out the liches inside and outside Galahren Castle.

The underground teleportation array was also destroyed in time, and few liches had time to escape.

While the Golden Dragonborn were wiping out the liches, Heros descended into the forest.

A group of people below had already seen Heros's arrival, and upon seeing Heros land, they all knelt down in unison.

Heros glanced around at his wounded retinue, whose injuries varied in depth but whose spirits were all high.

Witnessing the downfall of Galahren was undoubtedly a great relief for these former criminals who had been imprisoned for an unknown amount of time.

"You did a great job."

Heros flicked a few drops of true blood from his fingertips, which merged into the bodies of Izec and Luca, who were the most seriously injured.

With the replenishment of true blood, the true blood within their bodies was immediately activated, and their wounds regenerated rapidly.

This is a new way of using [Eternal Blood] that Heros developed after research.

Through true blood, he can directly transfer the dragon's powerful life force to his "offspring" who have inherited the true blood, granting them a powerful short-term healing effect.

Heros said in a deep voice, "You have proven your loyalty and determination, and therefore you will receive the true 'gift'."

"Praise be to the Dragon Lord!" The dragon descendants immediately bowed down in joy.

"Gift" was one aspect, but another was that the Dragon Lord acknowledged their loyalty, just as sons receive their father's approval, and they instinctively felt joy.

From now on, they will truly shed their status as "former criminals" and gain a new life.

"A gift...brother, I also want a gift..."

A discordant note caught Heros's attention.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the blue dragon and the black dragon were muttering something at the same time, and their temperaments seemed to be very different.

When they saw Heros's gaze sweep over them, they immediately pressed their bellies to the ground and put on a fawning expression.

Heros walked up to the two fledgling dragons, his body twice their size, exuding an aura of oppression.

He lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the two baby dragons.

Then, with a single claw, it pinned the blue dragon to the ground.

"roar--!"

Maglen instinctively bared his teeth and claws at Heros, but was immediately met with a second and a third claw.

They only stopped when the blue dragon's bones cracked and it lost the strength to resist.

Heros then turned his gaze to the black dragon, and upon seeing Magron's miserable state, Faldom also made an attacking motion.

Heros raised its claws again and mercilessly beat it into a temporary cripple, piling it on top of the blue dragon.

There was no need for any gentle persuasion; just looking into their eyes reminded Heros of how they looked when they first hatched.

He remembered the magic the lich used before its destruction. Could it be because of that magic?

Heros still remembers the scene.

He walked up to the little wolf girl, and Mo Kailuo quickly pulled a short man aside.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar face, Heros asked, "Who is he?"

"My name is Corleone Typhon, son of the noble Golden Dragon Lord, a farmer from the Plain of Welding."

Young Corleone was a little nervous: "My home was burned to ashes by demons, and it was a great dragonborn warrior who saved me. So I hope to serve the Golden Dragon Court, and that's why I found out about the Bluewood Forest, which the son of the Golden Dragon Lord once visited..."

Mokello also offered a brief explanation, saying that the two young dragons had found the Milhar tribe, but after failing to obtain the "gift," they dragged Mokello to Galahren Castle.

Corleone, who happened to be from the Milha tribe, followed them.

Heros nodded and casually said, "Since you are so eager to serve the Golden Dragon Court, come back with me. If you can pass the transformation, you will become a member of the True Dragon's Familiar."

"Yes! Praise be to the Dragon Lord!" Corleone was extremely excited.

After what had just happened, Inanna fell into a coma once again.

Heros sensed it briefly and easily discovered the traces of the magical ritual inscribed on her body.

He fiddled with Inanna's anti-magic shackles and quickly understood their function.

Inanna is not a spellcaster; she is bound by these magic-suppressing shackles inscribed with sealing runes. Besides being difficult to open by ordinary means, the most important reason for this is to maintain the stability of the magical rituals within her body.

At this moment, the residual magic was circulating throughout her body. Inanna, who was not the caster, was suppressed due to her weak mental strength and thus fell into a coma.

This problem is easy to solve. After bringing it back to the dragon's nest, a single surgical procedure will cleanse it of its magic.

Perhaps this isn't the right way to remove magic, but Heros thinks it's very efficient.

Also, let Macaros see it before attempting treatment; maybe he knows what this magical ritual is.

As for the two fledgling dragons, Heros was actually quite interested in them.

With his powerful ability to patiently guide and persuade, he can repair his mind once and then repair it a second time.

Moreover, Heros was also eager to know what changes had occurred in their thinking.

This is the first situation he has encountered where underlying cognition can be modified without changing one's mindset.

Let's see if the lich's magic is more powerful, or if "Dark Purple's" [Persuasive Persuasion] will prevail.

……

Several days later, at the dragon's nest.

Makaros has been very busy lately.

The rulers of Baihe Valley have fallen, leaving behind many problems.

Besides needing to appoint new noble lords, redivide spheres of influence and tax requirements, the next issue to deal with is the Galahren family.

After investigation, it was found that most of the upper echelons of the Galahren clan had been relocated.

Apart from some unsuspecting guards, servants, and some administrators, there weren't many nobles left in the castle.

The same situation existed throughout the entire Galahren territory; only the lower classes were spared, awaiting judgment from the Golden Dragon Court in a state of utter panic.

In addition, the old wolf of Lord François Gallachren has disappeared, and his personal butler has died in his bedroom.

However, mortal matters are easier to handle; what Macalos values ​​most is thwarting the liches' plans.

The Gem Islands are separated from the mainland by the Sea of ​​Mist. The liches would have to spend a lot of resources just to get there, not to mention that so many liches have died. How many of them would have enough resources to be resurrected?

As for the mortals who were transported away, Macalos did not believe that the liches would be so generous as to use their precious resources to transport mortals.

Perhaps only a small number of ordinary people will be able to make it ashore alive.

Unfortunately, Macaros couldn't discern what the traces of magical ritual within Inanna were.

Heros was very satisfied with his dragonborn's performance in this operation against the lich.

Not only did they all survive, but they also touched the "Crimson" statue.

Now, inside the Palace of Dreams, a new star reflecting the image of the Dragonborn has been added to the Crimson statue.

The "Crimson" reward doesn't offer as many attributes as last time; each Dragonborn only provides "0.1 Strength attribute".

This puzzled Heros. He guessed there were two possibilities: one was that the dragonborn's objective was to save lives and escape, not to fight a bloody battle.

Another reason is due to the target; if the liches' life caskets are not destroyed, they are not considered truly dead.

But in any case, the Dragonborn have given Heros's plan a good start.

These were only six dragonborn, yet they provided him with a total of "0.6 Strength attribute", more than what Angru provided.

Once the Dragonborn Legion is established, attribute rewards will flow in continuously.

Besides that, Heros has been doing two things these past few days.

One task was to treat Inanna, and the other was to obsessively repair the brains of the black and blue dragons.
