Red Dragon Emperor

Eight years later.

厽厼厽厼. Mordo Peak Forest, Molten Heart.

In the secret lair beside the lava lake, a huge crimson beast with ferocious bone horns was sleeping. He curled up and lay on the ground, resting his head on his two front paws, exhaling from his nostrils along with his heaving chest. There are streaks of white smoke, and a little bit of sparks are mixed in the nostrils.

The sparks from the nose are a sign that the fire element in the giant beast's body is becoming saturated.

Gradually, José's body could no longer hold any fire element, his heart beat faster, and his consciousness began to return.

The closed eyelids trembled, and then slowly opened, the pupils of the eyes were out of focus, as if he had just regained consciousness and was a little confused, but soon, Jose's eyes regained clarity.

The dragon's biological clock told him that he had slept for a whole year and a half, and this year and a half was the deep sleep he had passed from the juvenile dragon stage to the young dragon stage.

"Hungry~!"

When he woke up, the acid in his stomach seemed to melt his stomach, and he was overwhelmed by overwhelming hunger.

Jose stood up directly from the ground, his bones crackling, and then quickly walked out of the nest prepared for deep sleep.

After removing the boulder blocking the entrance of the lair, Jose saw the lava lake below and the golden mountain of the Molten Core in the distance.

hold head high!

A passionate dragon chant announced the return of the owner of Moduo Peak Forest!

Beside the lava lake, the salamander was awakened by the sound of the dragon's chant, and his head was raised and hissed in excitement, and the cheers of the kobold's family could be heard in the distance.

Amid the jubilation, the skinny red dragon jumped down from the mouth of the cave, spread its wings and glided past the lava lake, and landed firmly on the golden mountain in the molten core.

He grabbed a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into his mouth. Under the serrated fangs, the gold coins made a crackling sound like beans, before being chewed thoroughly, they were swallowed into the black hole-like throat.

Swallowing a box or two of gold coins like a snack, Jose temporarily suppressed his rebellious stomach.

He took a step towards the shore of Molten Core, where there was a flat ground, on which there were tables and chairs made of gold, which were his dining table.

There is no need to give special instructions, the family members who heard the dragon's roar will definitely notify the halfling chef to prepare food. He only needs to wait for a while, and the family members will deliver normal food.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, he turned his head to look at his own growth.

After starving for a year and a half, my originally strong body became a little thinner.

This is a normal phenomenon after a deep sleep. It only needs to be cultivated for a period of time, and the body will naturally return to its original appearance, and even become stronger.

Thinness is not the focus of attention, but the skeleton is. Jose calculated it and came to a conclusion in his mind.

"It has grown three meters, and now it is about nineteen meters."

Nineteen meters, which meant that Jose stood up completely, a full six-story building, and was already a huge monster.

"Very good, very good," he said, very satisfied with his own growth.

厺厽 Chasing yo literature zhuiyo.com 厺厽. According to the conclusions of scholars who study dragons, the normal body length of a red dragon that has just entered the young dragon stage is about 15 meters, and the body length of an adult red dragon is about 20 meters.

And Jose has just stepped into the youth dragon stage and is 19 meters long, which is very close to the adult red dragon.

However, the biggest gain from this slumber is not physical growth, but the inheritance of the dragon. He has obtained the inheritance of master-level magic.

This is to be expected,

But Jose couldn't help being excited.

In legendary battles, the most commonly used spells are high-level and master-level magic. As for legendary magic, the casting time of legendary magic is too long and there is a risk of being interrupted. Therefore, unless there are teammates guarding it, it is generally not used of.

This also means that after he digests the Dragon Legacy he just obtained, he will be able to compete head-on with the legendary powerhouse by waiting for a group of gold fingers.

At that time, as long as he doesn't risk his life to attack the mage tower where the legendary mage sits, or provoke demigods, or go deep into some dangerous places, he can come and go freely in the one-third of an acre of Taidanuoer.

In addition to the inheritance of the dragon, the red dragon who has entered the young dragon stage has another big harvest, that is, the innate ability of the red dragon family has been awakened.

Burning Ember Field!

Without any spells, the red dragon emitted terrifying heat like the sun. The heat wave distorted the surrounding air, rolled forward, and swept in all directions.

The heat radiates from the red dragon as the center, the closer the distance, the higher the heat and the greater the power.

"Burn!"

On the lava lake fifty meters away, a ball of flames burst out of thin air. Of course, this is not the full power of the burning ember domain. As long as he wants to, within a hundred meters radius will instantly turn into a sea of ​​flames.

After testing for a while, Jose came to a preliminary conclusion.

The killing range of Burning Field can be roughly divided into four stages.

The first stage is 100 meters away, and the influence of the burning ember domain is negligible beyond 100 meters, almost no lethality, and ordinary people will only feel hot.

The second stage is between 50 meters and 100 meters. This range can kill ordinary people. Only professionals can enter. The limit distance for beginners is about 50 meters.

The third stage is fifty meters to ten meters. Without the help of magic, it is already the limit for mid-level professionals to rush within ten meters of the red dragon.

The fourth stage is within a range of ten meters. If a high-level professional is not protected by magic within a range of ten meters in the burning ember domain, they will soon die of dehydration.

The above is still in the absence of activation. If the heart of the phoenix is ​​activated, the power of the burning ember domain will be further improved. At that time, it is estimated that no one below the master level will be qualified to connect to the red dragon.

And this is only close, not to mention the abnormal self-healing ability, the defense alone is enough to make any master feel desperate.

Jose was experimenting, and at the nine-circle spiral staircase, his family members brought food, so he suspended the experiment.

Roasted whole beef sprinkled with precious spices, whole moose covered in secret sauce, boiled yak meat cut into pieces, a small amount of vegetables...

The delicacies carefully prepared by the halfling chef and the apprentices trained by the halfling chef were carried to the red dragon's table one after another, but the speed of the relatives' carrying could not keep up with the speed of the red dragon's eating.

He is so hungry.

"Hi~!"

The gluttonous feast lasted for an hour and a half. Jose ate food that was more than double his body weight, burped, and felt lazy and very satisfied.

Beside the dining table, the Kobold - Ergou stood silently and obediently, quietly watching the red dragon pick its teeth.

While picking his teeth, Jose asked, "Did any major events happen on the mainland during the year I was sleeping?"

"Returning to the master, there is nothing major happening in Taidanol, but a major event happened in the star realm, so that the legendary powerhouses in our world dare not go to the star realm."

"Oh?" José became interested, looking at the somewhat nervous Yougou.

"I remember that we don't have news channels in the astral world, right? How did the news come from? Dragon Worship?"

"No, it was sent by Lady Arrigs specially, but Master, you are sleeping, so Lady Arrigs asked me to convey the news about the Mistress of the Red Nest—Sawanna."

Er Gou continued: "Half a year ago, the Mistress of the Red Nest appeared in the Star Realm, and as soon as she appeared, she killed a legendary team of Tidanor who had formed a team to go to the Star Realm, which caused a sensation in the upper class of Taidanol."

Jose fell silent.

厽厼厽厼. Needless to say, Savannah has healed her wounds and started to take revenge, and the target of revenge is the mainland coalition forces that participated in the siege of the Red Nest.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Jose.

No matter how much the Mistress of the Red Nest can get angry, she can't blame him, because not only is he not at fault in the Red Nest incident, but he has made a contribution. If he hadn't destroyed the Altar of God's Descending set up by the coalition forces, would the Mistress of the Red Nest have escaped smoothly? Still a problem.

However, in order to prevent going to the star realm from being caught by the red nest mistress, it is better not to go for the time being.

Also, after hearing about the news of the Mistress of the Red Nest, Arrigs came here to remind her, which is quite interesting.

On the other side, Yougou looked at the silent red dragon, feeling a little uneasy.

As a dragon vein warlock and mage, Ergou has come into contact with many books over the years, many of which mention the deeds of the mistress of the Red Nest—Savanna.

The deeds of Savannah shocked Ergou very much. She challenged the whole world with the power of a dragon and forced the human coalition forces to launch a divine surrender to expel her. What a mighty power this is!

But how powerful the red nest mistress possesses has nothing to do with Ergou. What he is worried about is the return of the red nest mistress and the re-establishment of the red nest to rule the Northland.

In that case, Jose, who is also a member of the Red Dragon Clan, will inevitably be found, and Moduo Peak Forest will be passively involved in the mainland disputes.

You Gou asked the worry in his heart: "Master, do you think the Mistress of the Red Nest will come back?"

Jose thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's unlikely that Savannah will come back. The demigod powerhouse entering the medium-sized material plane makes too much noise, and the demigod powerhouse in Tedanore won't just sit idly by."

"Now that the Red Nest is gone, Savannah is alone. She will be besieged as soon as she enters Tydanor. Without the help of a large number of legendary dragons, Savannah will definitely suffer. She will not fail to understand this."

"It's just that, although Savannah is unlikely to enter Tidanor in person, there are still people loyal to her in the old part of the Red Nest. It is not guaranteed that she will exert influence on the world through these loyalists."

"But don't worry too much. Savannah is a mouse crossing the street now. Even if she really has any thoughts, she dare not express it clearly. As long as Savannah doesn't come in person, we can also use soldiers to cover it up."

Jose looked at the kobold family members: "Compared to Savannah, I care more about the things in front of me. Let me report how the situation in the Northland has been in the past two years."

"Obey!"

Ergo continued: "The peace agreement between the Kingdom of Dana and the Kingdom of Odyssey is about to expire. A year ago, the two countries started friction again. According to our spies' report, the reason for the friction was to compete for the rights of a certain super-large barbarian tribe. Commercial rights..."

"According to your instructions, we absolutely abide by the agreement in business activities. We have established a good reputation and gained the trust of almost all partners. The business and trade in the Triangle Plain are becoming more and more prosperous."

"The trade with the Mirkwood elves has steadily increased. Last year, the transaction volume with the elves exceeded eight million gold coins, and the profit was a full three million gold coins. However, according to your instructions, I will use most of the income to buy and magic everything about it."

"In addition, the steelbeard gray dwarves did not notice the abnormality, and the transaction is still carried out according to the agreement..."

"Thanks to a large amount of resources invested, the research results of Burning Wings..."

Most of it is good news, but there are also some problems, such as the health and employment problems brought about by the population explosion in the Triangle Plain. The slums have already formed a certain scale outside the city of Thorns. Gangsters were born in the slums, which affected the society to a certain extent. law and order.

After listening to Ergou's report, Jose thought for a while, and said quietly, "How about the spies?"

"In the past year or so, we have unearthed thirteen new spies, and the total number of spies discovered so far has reached eighty-six, including five from the Kingdom of Dana..."

That's right, there are spies in the Red Dragon's sphere of influence, both in the Triangle Plain and the Modo Peak Forest, but there are relatively few Modo Peak Forests, because the access conditions of the Modo Peak Forest are more stringent and the defense is more stringent.

Those spies came from many forces, such as Dana Kingdom, Northland Witch Council, Sunsail Port, Barbarians, commercial spies from large chambers of commerce, etc., as well as "friendly forces" - Odyssey Kingdom and Dragon Cult.

After discovering that a spy was infiltrating his territory, Jose did not act aggressively, and could even be called very calm.

The phenomenon of spies is a normal phenomenon, and he Benlong is also planting spies to the above forces.

Moreover, spies are not necessarily a bad thing, especially spies who are supervised, pass false information to confuse the enemy, instigate enemy spies to become double agents, and so on.

"How about the espionage activities of those in the Red Nest Vault? Have you found any more?"

"Not yet, according to your instructions, we just keep monitoring them without digging further."

厺厽 Miaobiku.com 厺厽. Jose's eyes fluctuated, he thought for a while, and said: "Now the time is ripe, take a more radical approach, further dig out the spies planted in the Red Nest Crypt, and gradually destroy some of them, but not all of them. These spies may still be useful."

"Obey!"

"Also, send a message to the intelligence personnel we have placed in the Red Nest Crypt. The plan can be prepared. It will be half a year at the earliest, and two years at the latest. When I completely digest the harvest of sleeping, I will start to intervene in the Red Nest Crypt. gone."

After finishing speaking, Jose waved his hand: "Okay, you go down."

"This subordinate will leave," You Gou bowed and retreated.

Jose, full of food and drink, walked to Jinshan. On the one hand, he wanted to speed up the recovery of his "thin" body through rest, and on the other hand, he wanted to learn in his dreams and digest the newly acquired dragon inheritance.

The young dragon's dragon inheritance is very rich and contains a lot of magical knowledge. Even with some assistance, it will take him quite a while to understand it thoroughly.

"It's not only the inheritance of the dragon, but before intervening in the Red Nest Crypt, I must also raise the mage level to the master level, and learn the master-level magic recorded, otherwise it is still a bit unsafe."

Thinking of this, Jose lay down on the golden mountain and entered a half-asleep state of consumption.
