Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Arriving above the Red Scale Garrison, the logistics personnel below raised red and yellow flags to signal and pass instructions to the flying dragons in the air.

Mantou read the instructions at a glance. He patted Noodles on the side of his neck and whispered:

"Dragon stop position No. 13."

"Ah~"

Noodles roared, circled a few times above the garrison, and then accurately stopped in the yellow frame marked on the platform.

The surrounding logistics personnel immediately surrounded them, wiped the scales of the two-legged dragon, tied a chain, and filled the feeding trough with the two-legged dragon's favorite blood and flesh paste feed.

The two-legged dragon did not resist at all, just stretched its body and enjoyed their service.

With the development of the empire and the abundance of funds, the Red Scale Garrison has also developed a complete logistics system to keep the two-legged dragons in the best condition.

"Thank you all."

Mantou greeted, turned over and got off the dragon, and walked down the stairs impatiently.

As he was walking, he bumped into a player head-on - it was Singo, who was wearing Viscount's clothes.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Mantou looked at Singo's gorgeous Viscount's clothes and answered with envy: "To exchange for abilities."

"Didn't I just read the strategy you sent, saying that professional players should spend experience as soon as possible and exchange abilities to improve their own strength?"

Singo glanced at him and said lightly: "My strategy is aimed at top professional players, are you?"

Mantou gritted his teeth and said: "I think I am."

Singo browsed his panel and said sarcastically in a calm tone: "No way, There won't be anyone who hasn't reached the level cap and is stuck at level 7, right? "

"You haven't even reached the level cap, so where does the experience surplus come from?"

Mantou continued to be stubborn and said, "Do you know what it means to prepare for a rainy day?"

"Don't worry about it, just tell me directly, where is the experience store of the garrison?"

"It's at Marquis Alger's office. You have to go to his office. There are already dozens of people queuing up."

"Damn."

Mantou continued to walk down the stairs and soon arrived at the door of the head of the office on the third floor of the garrison.

Sure enough, there was already a long queue at the door. Basically, all the Red Scale Conqueror players he recognized appeared here.

And he had no choice but to queue up obediently.

Fortunately, the time interval between each person exchanging abilities was not long, and each person had a few minutes. Mantou waited for half an hour and then lined up at the door of the office.

He carefully pushed the door open and walked into the spacious and luxurious office.

The commander-in-chief of the Red Scale Conquerors, Alger, was standing not far away. He still looked like a half-dragon, half-human, but the horns on his forehead were longer and the scales on his body were denser.

The gorgeous robes he wore and the dragon head medal on his chest made Mantou envious - it was the medal of the imperial marquis, a symbol of noble status.

The dragon vein giant eagle was lying next to him, without any chains. It was chewing precious magic ore and curiously tilted its head to look at the player who had just entered.

Mantou looked at the top of Alger's head.

[Alger, the head of the Red Scale Conquerors]

Faction: Burning Empire

Challenge level: ? ? ?

He couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that he had reached level 7, but still couldn't see the challenge level of this "original Red Scale Conqueror".

Thinking of this, Mantou said flatteringly: "Boss Alger, I'm here to exchange abilities with you too."

He hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Well, Boss Alger, can you give me a little discount for the sake of my being your first two students?"

"No."

Alger replied coldly.

As a genuine aboriginal, he couldn't actually see the panel, but he received an order from his superiors to stand here to receive players for the so-called "ability exchange".

Every time the exchange was completed, Alger would feel a strange energy pouring into his body, but he couldn't control it on his own and could only passively accept it.

Therefore, there was no so-called "discount" to speak of.

"Okay."

Mantou scratched his head awkwardly and opened the [Experience Store] panel.

[Alger Yeoman's Experience Shop]

Proficiency: Riding +18, Military +14, Reconnaissance +12, Hunting +11, Sports +10, Survival +10

Special Abilities: Commander's Surprise Attack, Dive Attack, Air Stop, Rapid Turn, Tide of Action, Resuscitation

"Oh my god, so many?"

Mantou couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

But when he saw the experience points required for those abilities, he was a little discouraged.

It takes a full 9,000 experience points to raise the [Riding] proficiency to 18, which is almost one-third of all the experience points he has gained so far.

And exchanging for a useful ability like [Commander's Surprise Attack] requires tens of thousands of experience points.

"I can't afford it. I can't afford it at all."

In the end, Mantou chose to consume 3,000 experience points to upgrade his [Riding] proficiency to level 14.

After pressing the [Confirm Exchange] button.

Mantou's experience bar suddenly dropped a lot.

And he and Alger also resonated through the common blood from the red dragon, and finally formed a special bond.

Alger's memories and skills about "riding" were also transferred to Mantou's body.

His proficiency increased rapidly.

At this moment, Mantou felt like he had been training riding since he was a child, living with his mount day and night, and had been on the eagle's back for decades.

Even his body had some muscle memory.

When Mantou came to his senses, his panel had changed dramatically.

[Riding +14]

"It's amazing."

Mantou exclaimed, feeling very novel about this experience.

And Alger also closed his eyes slightly, feeling the strange energy pouring into his body, making himself stronger.

"Starfallers."

"What strange fellows they are."

Although he was used to seeing the outrageous behavior of the Starfallers, Alger was still quite surprised by this strange infusion of power.

However, they did not know that half of the experience consumed by Mantou was paid as "taxes" to the leader of the faction - the emperor of the Burning Empire, the red dragon Cassius.

[You get 150xp]

[You get 300xp]

[You get 200xp]

[You get 400xp]

[You get 1900xp]

Cassius browsed the constantly refreshing panel information, staring at the dense experience data, and felt quite happy about this act of harvesting leeks with a combine harvester.

"It turns out that experience is transmitted through the bond of [Empire's Grace]."

"You are worthy of being a player."

"With just this little effort, you have gained tens of thousands of experience points. If you continue at this pace, you will soon be able to break through level 18."

"It is much more enjoyable to level up while lying down than to kill enemies with great effort."

The red dragon grinned, revealing a ferocious smile - that expression contained the joy of a good harvest.

From now on, these players will become nutrients for him to improve his own strength.

He gently flapped his wings and hovered over Antonio City.

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

The people in the city burst into cheers, celebrating the arrival of His Majesty and looking forward to the future life. (End of this chapter)
