The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Actually, Attilan felt that having a talented and competitive rival like the Tiger-man was not necessarily a bad thing.

At least he wouldn't slack off. People are inherently lazy, let alone the long-lived dragons.

As his time being a dragon gradually lengthened, he found that he increasingly wanted to return to the underwater dragon's lair to laze around and sleep, rather than stay in the forest for druidic meditation.

Sleeping is a form of cultivation for dragons, but this method's efficiency isn't high.

Attilan's druidic meditation couldn't fully align with the development direction of his ocean dragon bloodline, yet it was still faster than the progress from sleeping.

In short, Attilan was striving to strengthen his spiritual will to resist the draconic instincts, so he could become an outstanding ocean dragon druid.

After condensing the Dragon Pearl and learning the truth behind his innate talent, Attilan dared not waste any more time. A naturally born ocean dragon elemental dragon king was an existence that many dragons would kill without hesitation.

If you were an emperor or a king, what would your choice be when you knew there was someone with a high probability of becoming the next emperor, and they weren't even related to you by blood?

Needless to say, it would naturally be to kill this next emperor.

In this situation, it's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.

Therefore, Attilan needed to focus even more on concealing his abilities!

A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. Before possessing the strength to challenge the Dragon God's Trial, Attilan felt he must keep a low profile.

Then developing the Nature Empire became even more important.

He had to make outsiders believe that the Nature Empire had contributed to Attilan's strength, rather than relying on Attilan's own talent and efforts.

He planned to attribute the elemental dragon king's talent to his job as a druid. Anyway, the druid's skill tree had similar skills to the fields that ocean dragons excel in.

Anyway, in order to maximize the bloodline abilities of the ocean dragon, Attilan planned to study and analyze the bloodline in the same way that arcanists conduct spell research.

Of course, the current Attilan didn't have the knowledge reserves and abilities to conduct such a vast subject as researching elemental dragon bloodlines. He planned to learn from Lulune.

Although Lulune repeatedly stated that compared to her heaven-defying mage mother, she could only be considered a beginner in the mage profession, a clumsy child learning to walk.

An level 11 mage, level 10 astral mage claiming to be a clumsy child, you can't really treat her like a child. There isn't a single simple character among the legendary mages.

And Lulune's mother could casually impart a little bit of the spellcasting techniques and personal spells she created, which would be enough for Lulune to use for a lifetime.

And if Attilan could learn a thing or two about learning, analyzing, and creating spells, he could completely solidify his image as a spell dragon.

What he got after condensing the Dragon Pearl was not only information about the Dragon God's Trial, but also the method of using the Dragon Pearl, such as increasing magic power, spell strength, spell penetration, and magic recovery.

These can all be enhanced by the Dragon Pearl!

And the method of condensing the Dragon Pearl is also very oriental in color, Dragon Pearl Nine Revolutions!

It's like the Supreme Lord Lao's golden elixir, using extreme energy to temper the Dragon Pearl to bring the quality and quantity of the Dragon Pearl to a higher level, each time requiring enormous energy to forge and hammer the Dragon Pearl.

Only then did Attilan understand why the swamp dragon had to create such a vast inland sea containing a huge amount of water elemental power in the center of the continent!

All operations were to temper his ocean dragon soul!

This can also explain why an ancient dragon's territory only has an inland sea that is nearly a thousand kilometers from east to west and less than eight hundred kilometers from north to south, because he doesn't care about the size of the territory.

The entire inland sea, even the entire continent, is just Sesthesis's alchemy room for tempering the Dragon Pearl, and the swamp dragons in the ancient dragon period only dared to temper the Dragon Pearl on the continent.

Attilan could conclude that there was great terror in the deep sea!

And the legendary druids such as the bear-men cultivating forests on the edge of the inland sea were also helping the swamp dragon to strengthen his ocean energy field and save energy on tempering the Dragon Pearl.

The bear-men thought they were interfering with and hindering the swamp dragon's actions, but they never thought that their actions would instead help the other party.

The only behavior that can really harm the swamp dragon is opening the floodgates!

No wonder the flow of the Southwest River is so large, because the swamp dragon fundamentally restricts the flow of inland sea water to the outside. It is estimated that the swamp dragon that the bear-men thought was releasing water flow wanted to expand the scope of the inland sea.

In fact, it is the waste water left over after tempering the Dragon Pearl. There are too few remaining water elements to continue tempering the Dragon Pearl. In order not to affect the concentration of water elements in the core area, it is directly discharged outside the barrier.

The old merman said that Sesthesis's true dragon barrier can only enter but not exit, but Attilan doesn't think that some insects, even if they sneak into Sesthesis's palace, can't hurt him.

The challenge level of the swamp dragon fluctuates, depending on the combination of the earth and water elemental dragon bloodlines, while Sesthesis's challenge level is definitely above 20.

But it should be lower than that of an ocean dragon in the same ancient dragon period. Ocean dragons are in the 22, 23 range, so Sesthesis should be around 21, 22.

But that's without the Dragon Pearl. With the Dragon Pearl, or rather the ocean dragon soul, he should be trying to purify his bloodline and transform into an ocean dragon?

Then it is estimated to be around 24, 25.

Moreover, Attilan seriously suspected that the swamp dragon had advanced to the elemental master profession.

Because the waste water discharged from Ze Long Lake contained water elements that even made him, an ocean dragon who had never seen the world, feel that it could meet his basic living needs.

Just like his underwater dragon's nest is covered with a layer of fine water element crystals, Attilan felt that Sesthesis's dragon palace should be made entirely of water element crystals.

The old merman had never been to the swamp dragon's palace, but when he was young, he heard the green fish patriarch who had been there say that the dragon lord's palace was made of a blue-green crystal, which was natural, as if those crystals were born like the dragon palace.

At that time, Attilan just thought it was just a crystal palace. When he had money, he would also go to the water element plane to collect gems and build one!

Now that I think about it, the annual output value of his Atlantis kingdom may be about the same as the value of a glazed tile on Sesthesis's palace.

The old thing is quite playful. The introduction of the Dragon Pearl inheritance mentioned the oriental dragon that originated the Dragon Pearl, and naturally also mentioned that after those oriental dragons occupy large rivers and seas, they will build a magic-made crystal palace.

Although the method of building the crystal palace was not mentioned in detail, the method of tempering the Dragon Pearl Nine Revolutions mentioned a crystal auxiliary tool, it is difficult to say that the crystal palace is not an enlarged version of this tool.

Whether it's the auxiliary tool energy disk or the Crystal Palace, Attilan has no intention of building them. It's definitely not because he's poor, but because there's really no need. There are plenty of idle energy nodes in the forest.

He can fly over and directly absorb natural magic to temper his dragon body, and there are also extra nodes to temper the dragon pearl. His bear-man master has already helped him adjust everything, so there's no need for an energy disk to draw in energy.

The bear-man is his best auxiliary tool!

While thinking, Attilan spat out another mouthful of blood with fragments of internal organs.

This is stagnant blood. Attilan circulates the energy transmitted to him by the bear-man to repair the injuries to his body. This is actually a kind of training for the bear-man. The bear-man believes that the more injuries he suffers usually, the more he can recover with self-healing.

It can effectively stimulate the body's self-healing ability to grow, so that when injured in battle, self-healing will automatically run, and the recovery speed will be faster than druids of the life school who have not been injured.

Moreover, the injured part will be more resilient than before recovery.

This is the result of the bear-man's practice, and Attilan naturally believes it, but it doesn't mean that Attilan wants to master this passive skill.

Because Attilan has not exercised his internal organs, or rather, his exercise of the dragon body has not achieved uniform exercise of the entire body, and the bear-man, with his keen eyes, noticed his omissions.

Before the omissions become fatal weaknesses, he actively helps Attilan repair them. The heavy fists can make Attilan vomit blood, but they contain the bear-man's deep love.

After another three hours, Attilan finally recovered from his injuries to the point where they didn't affect his flight, and squeezed out a smile, saying:

"Master, then I'll go first."

He was really afraid of being dragged by the bear-man for another round of training.

"Go."

The bear-man concentrated on sending energy to heal the tiger-man, without even raising his head, and said in a cold tone.

The tiger-man's body is not as strong as Attilan's, but the bear-man's punches are equally heavy. The tiger-man insisted on taking one more punch than Attilan.

Naturally, the injuries were much more serious than Attilan's. Attilan couldn't even be considered seriously injured, while the tiger-man was already close to death.

Looking at the tiger woman who didn't care about her life, Attilan shook his head again, and then soared into the sky, completely ignoring the old urchin next to him who was winking and trying to get Attilan to take him away.

Finally returning to Green Scale Town, Attilan planned to eat something and go back to sleep, to calm the physical and mental torment of the double bloom on Zijing Mountain.

As a result, a centaur came flying to report that a patrol team of five centaurs and several dwarves riding horned sheep were fighting on the north side of Water Cellar Town.

And they were fighting bloody.

Fortunately, they have now been separated by the fish-men barbarians.

But the dwarves definitely can't be let go like this, otherwise how can they continue to trade iron products with the dwarves in the future?

Fisher himself was not sure, so he sent the centaur flying back to ask Attilan for instructions.

Attilan took a deep breath to suppress his anger.

"Why did they fight?"

"It seems that the patrol team was tired, so they used the iron pot they were carrying to cook a pot of bean flour, and added a lot of dried meat. The aroma attracted this group of dwarves."

"Then the dwarves seemed to have not eaten for a long time, so they asked the centaurs to give them the pot of food, and said that if they hadn't sold the iron pot to us cheaply, we would still be cooking with broken earthenware pots."

"What is eating a pot of our food? The dwarves' arrogant attitude angered the centaurs, and then they fought. Dragon Lord, please don't let these dwarves go!"

Attilan had a headache. Just because of a packet of soy milk powder made into meat soup, this group of dwarves scrambled to eat it. No wonder the centaurs felt that they had not eaten for a long time.

Besides, he had traded a lot of bean flour and dried meat to the dwarves. This simple dish of bean flour, dried meat, and water is very suitable for dwarves whose brains are so simple that they have no cooking talent at all.

Unless this group of dwarves are not good things in the dwarf kingdom, so they have not been allocated bean flour and dried meat to eat, which led to this group of dwarves running to him to beg for food.

"I'll go over now. You go down and rest."

He can't have a moment of peace in a day. If he goes to war with the dwarves, then the newborn Atlantis kingdom will suffer heavy losses.

But he must not be cowardly.

"Wait a moment, you go and notify Mepp, and let him gather all the combat soldiers to assemble in Big Horn Town. Once the negotiations with the dwarves are unfavorable, let him lead the troops north to prepare for war."

Flying to Water Cellar Town at the fastest speed, Attilan landed beside Fisher, who had been waiting for a long time, and said:

"Where are those bastards?"

"They are all tied up with ropes and locked in the cellar."

"Bring them over, I will personally interrogate them. The team that cooked during the patrol will each receive ten lashes as a warning, and because they won against the dwarves, each person will be rewarded with a pound of dried meat."

"Yes, Dragon Lord."

Eight short and fat dwarves, covered in a lot of blood, limped and trembled as they walked to Attilan, who was exuding a strong dragon aura.

They all knelt down with a thud.

"Please, Dragon Lord, let us go!"

"Why did you rob my soldiers of their lunch?"

The leading dwarf raised his head, paused for a moment, and said:

"Dragon Lord, the centaurs attacked first."

"I'm asking you, why do you have to rob even a pot of meat soup! Don't you have food to eat? I remember I had people post notices in the dwarf kingdom, recruiting excellent blacksmiths."

"There are no dwarves who can't forge iron, why don't you choose to work for me, but instead want to rob!"

"Answer my question! Ang!"

The loud dragon roar rolled up a wave of air, messing up the dwarves' hair.

The dwarves' trembling voices sounded:

"It's just that our skills are not good enough among our peers. Not to mention the dried meat full of spices, even the city lord doesn't plan to distribute the bean flour to a few of us."

"Didn't we see that the Dragon Lord was recruiting blacksmiths? The few brothers wanted to come over and try what it's like to have days of eating bean flour and dried meat to our fill. As a result, we met that group of brothers on the way."

The dwarf turned to look at the centaurs who were being whipped.

"The meat soup was too fragrant, and the dry rations in our hands were too difficult to eat, so we couldn't help but want to go over and share a little. After all, we will be brothers working for the Dragon Lord together in the future."

"We didn't expect that this group of centaurs wouldn't give us any face at all, and even said something like, they don't know how many dwarf heads they have chopped off."

Attilan turned his head upon hearing this. These people really were the centaurs that Old Blind Eye brought.

"What they said is true. These centaurs seem to have held back, otherwise, with the level of you few, your heads would have been lost long ago, because they really used to chop dwarves in the east."

Attilan frowned. He remembered that he had given a lot of conditions for recruiting blacksmiths. Bean flour and dried meat were just basic guarantees.

"You came to join me just for bean flour and dried meat?"

The dwarves nodded sharply.

"Of course, Dragon Lord, you don't know that those dwarf families who were given dried meat and bean flour are all showing off. If we can work for you."

"We'll get endless dried meat to eat. When we bring the dried meat back, who would dare to look down on us!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

A group of followers echoed.
