Red Dragon Emperor

"You're here," Red Dragon's voice was very calm, as calm as the opening remarks of an acquaintance arriving at an appointment.

Belden rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His face and neck were flushed with hot blood. He forced himself to calm down and calmly analyze the words of the red dragon.

Judging from his own experience and the words of the red dragon, this encounter is by no means accidental. In other words, the red dragon is here to wait for him.

The red dragon has a unique aura that is completely different from ordinary red dragons, and its dragon pupils are full of wisdom and majesty. He naturally thinks of the "legendary" red dragon king in the middle of the northern prairie——Francisco Te Rinida Jose.

After trying to understand the identity of the red dragon, he began to speculate on the purpose of the red dragon, and at the same time he relaxed a lot. There is a high probability that the red dragon did not come to kill him.

After all, with the strength and status of the person in front of him, not to mention killing him as an outdated prince, even if he killed the real crown prince, the eldest prince, King Norn would only dare to verbally condemn him.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't figure out the purpose of the red dragon looking for him. He took a deep breath to suppress his violent heartbeat, bowed and asked, "Good day, His Majesty the King of Fersai Kingdom, may I ask you to summon me, this little man?" What's the matter?"

Looking at the submissive, or extremely cautious second prince of Norn Principality in front of him, Jose slightly approved in his heart.

As expected of a prince.

Its performance is in stark contrast to ordinary soldiers' followers and reckless high-level fighters. Most of the ordinary soldiers fainted from fright, while the reckless fighters immediately thought of sounding the alarm and fleeing.

However, the second prince was able to quickly calm down in the face of an unexpected situation, carry out analysis, analyze the identity of the red dragon, and recognize the reality of "man is a sword, I am a fish", and then lowered his posture and asked the purpose of the red dragon. The correct posture of a strong man whose strength is far beyond his own, as for the small man who suddenly bursts out of the small universe and slaughters a strong enemy with luck, such absurd stories mostly only exist among third-rate knights.

"Relax, little lord, I don't mean anything malicious, on the contrary, I have a gift for you," Jose snapped his fingers, and the ferocious dragon's might made the "surviving" ordinary soldiers and high-ranking soldiers faint The past, but it does not affect the second prince who is close at hand.

Seeing this, Belden understood that the Red Dragon's next words were not allowed to be known to third parties. He made a posture of listening attentively, and the best strategy for facing a strange and strong man with an unknown personality was to reduce his actions and make fewer mistakes.

The red dragon continued: "You intend to support you and help you ascend to the throne of the king of Norn Principality."

Belden was slightly taken aback, feeling a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable. After all, his greatest value was his status as the heir to the Duke of Norn's throne, even though he was at the end of the succession sequence.

His eyes were uncertain, and his thoughts were like lightning. It has to be said that the Red Dragon's support is very tempting. Under the current situation, it is like sending charcoal in a timely manner, but there is no free lunch in this world, even if it is a jar of poisonous honey.

"Your Majesty, your gift is very tempting, but... what do I need to pay?"

"Only when you become the king of Norn, are you eligible to contribute for me. Also, what are you hesitating about? Do you think you have a choice?"

Hearing this, Belden laughed at himself, as Red Dragon said, he had no choice.

The Red Dragon deliberately planned to appear here in this way, and the goal must be achieved. If he refuses...

He could imagine his own ending. The next day, the news that the second prince of the kingdom died in the riot of extraordinary beasts would spread throughout the Norn Principality. Weeping crocodile tears, and at night they closed their doors to celebrate with a reception. The only person who is really sad is the personal maid who stayed behind in the castle.

Even if the red dragon kindly spared his life, after a few years,

When his former opponent, the eldest prince, takes power and becomes the king, his situation will become more and more difficult. Maybe there are only two ways to go: death and fleeing the kingdom.

As for the purpose of the Red Dragon supporting him, we have to wait until he becomes the king.

At this point, Belden thought of Datong, and bowed again: "Thank you for your kindness. If I can become the king of Norn, I will definitely repay your majesty with all my strength."

"I hope you can remember today's words," Jose nodded calmly.

Considering the excellent detection ability of the Northland Witch Council, he cannot make the Belden Contract a dependent, so as not to expose his aura, and he cannot even sign a magic contract, which can be detected by special means. Organizations that absolutely have the ability to detect.

Of course, he didn't take any insurance measures largely because he was confident that he could control the situation, and his confidence came from his strength. When he stepped into the legend, let alone a king of the principality, he would be confident even in the Northland Witch Council.

If the second prince betrays him in the future, he will be crushed to death.

He took out a dimensional bag, which was held up by an invisible force and suspended in front of the second prince: "This is the subsidy I paid you in advance, and it contains some warrior-side resources, which are enough for you to practice before becoming a legend. The gold coins used as the start-up capital, in a few days, someone will find you, and you can discuss with him what you need."

"Be strong as soon as possible, little lord, in a few years, your chance will come."

After finishing speaking, the red dragon teleported away, leaving Belden alone in the open forest, and all the surrounding subordinates were unconscious on the dead branches and leaves.

Watching the smoke-like residual purple magic energy quickly dissipate, Belden froze in place. If it wasn't for the dimensional bag in his hand, he would have thought this experience was just a dream.

On the other side, Jose returned to the Red Castle, came to the throne hall, and summoned the prime minister of the kingdom——Ergo Bloodtooth and the leader—Van Cleef.

"The seeds of Norn Principality have been planted, just waiting to take root and germinate."

On the throne above the nine steps, the stalwart red dragon bathed in the light beam, calm and majestic: "What you have to do is to take care of this seed, care for its growth, and prevent it from rotting and dying."

Er Gou replied respectfully; "As you wish, Your Majesty, I will allocate some resources to secretly support the second prince Norn."

"No, it is Van Cleef's task to support the second prince of Norn, and your task is to support the sixth prince of Norn."

"what?"

The two were puzzled: "Your Majesty, didn't you decide to support the second prince?"

"Yes, he is my chosen one, but supporting the sixth prince is also part of the plan. Your mission is to find a way to contact allies in the Odyssey Kingdom to support the sixth prince together."

Facing his most trusted family members, Jose casually explained: "Next, the more chaos the Norn Principality has, the better."

The two of them lowered their heads in thought, their faces gradually showed sudden expressions, and finally they were convinced. The jackal—Van Cleef bowed to the red dragon on the throne: "Your Majesty, your wisdom really makes me feel ashamed."

"Stop flattering, go down and get ready."

"Follow!" x2

After Ergo and Van Cleef left, Jose lay alone on the throne, squinting his eyes to enjoy the sunshine, while thinking about whether there was anything missing in his plan.

His goal is to take down the Norn Kingdom, and it is best to take down the Norn Kingdom without anyone noticing. For this reason, he chose to support the weakest and most inconspicuous second prince.

The specific plan to achieve the goal also has an idea, secretly supporting the second prince of Norn to develop his power, and at the same time using the Odyssey Kingdom as a cover to support the sixth prince to fight against the crown prince—the eldest prince. If the witch mother wasn't such a good-for-nothing, the sixth prince would most likely lose.

But before the fall of the sixth prince, José had already achieved his goal of disrupting the Norn Kingdom, and when the time came, the real object of support would be able to draw chestnuts out of the fire.

"Perfect plan," Jose muttered.

"But you can't put all your hopes on the support objects. The strength of the Forsyth Kingdom is the foundation of everything, especially the cultivation of the strong and the development of magic technology..."

…………………………………

Three years have passed.

In the past three years, the Kingdom of Forsyth has been very peaceful, and it has grown in peace. However, the northern land outside the Kingdom of Forsyth has become a bit lively. The barbarian clan and the mother of the cold wave fought fiercely at the junction of the prairie and the great glacier. It has attracted the attention of many people in the mainland.

Ordinary people and ordinary nobles only saw the struggle between the barbarians and the mother of the cold wave, but did not see the undercurrent behind this incident. Both the barbarians and the mother of the cold wave had stronger support behind them. The local witch council, Sunsail Port also gave support to the barbarians by relaxing the supply.

As a major force in the North, the Kingdom of Forsyth is naturally within the scope of the two sides' struggle, but Jose's superb Tai Chi wisdom shirks and ensures that the Kingdom of Forsyth remains neutral in this battle.

Gradually, both sides of the battle saw that the Red Dragon had no intention of participating in this troubled water, and worried that excessive force would push the Red Dragon to the enemy's camp, so they gradually lost their minds about dragging the Forsey Kingdom into the water.

The vast majority of people focused on the battle between the barbarians and the white dragon, while ignoring what happened in the Principality of Norn, one of the four northern kingdoms. The seemingly peaceful Kingdom of Norn was actually undercurrents.

As the old king was getting older and his abdication was imminent, he had already appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince, but he didn't expect that the sixth son would suddenly appear and had the momentum to compete with the crown prince.

This change can't help but make the old king Taino XII hesitate. The reason why the eldest prince was appointed as the crown prince is largely because the eldest prince's mother, a witch who broke through to the master level, hugged a member of the Northland Witch Council. The thigh of a legendary senator.

This name may seem scary, but my family knows my own family affairs. My concubine who joined the Northland Witch Council broke through to the master level by sacrificing her potential and taking secret medicine. The legendary witch she hugged her thigh also Doesn't seem to pay much attention to her.

The eldest prince's mother and concubine made an agreement with the old king to fight for the benefits of the Norn Principality in the Council of Witches in the Northland. In addition, the eldest prince himself is not bad, and this is how he got his crown prince status.

Originally, this mutually beneficial transaction was no problem, but at this time there was a change of the sixth prince. The forces in the Odyssey Kingdom increased their support for the sixth prince. The old king thought about it and found that from the side of the Odyssey Kingdom He got more benefits than the Northland Witch Council, so he couldn't help but be moved.

However, what everyone doesn't know is that in the barren Redstone Territory at the junction of Norn Principality and Mirkwood, the outdated prince has grown and grown in secret, and his wings are becoming more and more full.

Not to mention that no one knows that behind everything in the Principality of Norn there is a pair of invisible hands secretly manipulating it.

The Norn Principality's plan is progressing smoothly, but Jose Benlong has encountered problems, and has encountered problems in magic practice.

He is only one step away from the legendary mage, but this step is not so easy to cross, or the road to legend has never been smooth sailing.

The result of achieving legends is the same, they all come into contact with Yuan Hai, but the paths to reach Yuan Hai are different, which is related to each person's experience, personality, opportunity, etc. In this regard, there are more or less differences between individuals. There are differences, so you can't repeat the path of others, you can only explore and comprehend by yourself.

With no reference and no lighthouse, Jose is like an explorer in the endless darkness, groping step by step to find the road of light that is not yet visible.

"Huh~!" Jose put down the magic book in his hand and rubbed his swollen temples.

The magical knowledge gained from the Oroba plane is enough for him to advance to the level of legend, but it is only a chance to step into the legend. He still needs to spend time and effort to learn, consolidate, dig deep, and push the old Only in this way can we step into the ideal legend hall better and faster.

Even with blessings, Jose is not a learning machine, he will feel tired and bored.

Putting down the book, he turned on the magic circle, observed the scene inside the magic tower, and entertained in his spare time.

It is too wasteful for such a huge magic tower to be used only by the red dragon and one dragon. The red dragon owns the lower three floors exclusively, and the middle three floors and the upper three floors are handed over to the citizens of the Kingdom of Fusai.

The users of the middle and third layers are the officials of the Kingdom of Forsyth, the military, and other cronies. They are the pillars of the Kingdom of Forsyth, maintaining the normal order of the Kingdom of Forsyth, and constantly promoting the development of the kingdom.

And the third floor of the magic tower is the talent training base for these confidential departments, which can be used for outstanding members of each department to practice and advance.

In order to better serve these kingdom elites, Jose added various infrastructures to the middle and third floors, as if turning the middle and third floors into a small underground city that could operate independently.

The heads of the middle and third floors are either the Red Dragon's cronies or the Red Dragon's family members. The members are also loyal to the Red Dragon and the kingdom, so you can rest assured, but the lower three floors are not.

As long as you are a citizen of the Kingdom of Fusai, you can enter the lower three tiers for further study after passing the application and qualification tests. Even non-kingdom residents have the opportunity. Of course, the threshold for non-kingdom residents to enter the lower three tiers is much higher than that of kingdom citizens. Those who are not allowed to enter.

The core principles of the lower three levels are fairness, openness, and win-win results. Fairness and openness are easy to understand. Regardless of origin, only strength and dedication are considered.

The level of "win-win" is deeper and more complicated. Residents pay equivalents on the lower three floors to obtain professional knowledge and related guidance. Equivalents include but are not limited to money, property and magic knowledge, and they can also get corresponding rewards for completing specific tasks.

While the many participants are learning and progressing, the kingdom managers are also observing and testing them, selecting goals worth absorbing from them, and taking action.

In other words, the lower three floors are the talent reserve pool of the Red Dragon forces, constantly injecting fresh blood into the healthy development of the Fusai Kingdom and providing long-term development momentum.
