Under the Red Dragon

White Dragon Germot came in a hurry, and left with exceptional ease, retracting his wings, which were gradually growing with white frost patterns, and waddling away with his turtle-like steps.

He still needed to take that unfortunate two-headed Chimera down the mountain and hand it over to the gnolls who specialized in taming beasts for temporary care.

Before Caron's laboratory was built, this two-headed Chimera still had to drag its severely injured body to work like a beast of burden for the territory.

White Dragon Germot immediately thought of bringing the Chimera into the forest to serve as a laboring animal for tilling the land. The Chimera, possessing intelligence and the ability to communicate, was even more useful than those tamed wild cattle and dragon beasts. Now, all the dragon's energy was almost entirely focused on this aspect, so it's not surprising that the White Dragon had this subconscious idea.

Even Blue Dragon Carlit, who had transformed into a human, was now swinging a heavy hoe in some corner of the forest, making it smoke. Blue Dragon Akz, who used to be a model worker, now even volunteered to switch shifts with other dragons, patrolling the dragon's territory for half a month straight.

Caron shook his head, shaking out the thought of wanting to be lazy and hide in the magma nest for a good sleep.

To be honest, even in ancient times, during the era when the dragon race ruled the world, the Red Dragons and his dragon group were definitely the most diligent dragons in managing their territory. Every dragon in the group should be awarded a labor trophy cast in gold and decorated with various precious gems.

Green Dragon Antagina and Black Dragon Rosani controlled the birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground, and needed to listen to the news from these dragon's eyes and ears every day to ensure the safety of the dragon's territory.

In fact, the benefits of this had already been demonstrated. The newly arrived stray Red Dragon near the territory was a result of this intelligence network's defensive system.

Blue Dragon Doss was originally assigned to be responsible for all matters related to cooperation with the human pioneer camp, but now the relationship between the two sides had changed. The entire pioneer camp had become a city ruled by dragons, and the ogre giant Fafna was responsible for the affairs of the Golden City.

Logically speaking, the burden on Blue Dragon Doss should have been lightened, but on the contrary, Fafna was only the executor of the dragon's will, and the highest decision-making power for many decisions still needed to be determined by the dragons.

Moreover, due to the proposal of Bronze Dragon Alinna, the future system of the Dragon Kingdom and the relevant structure of the specific kingdom government also needed to be considered by Blue Dragon Doss. After all, Blue Dragons were known among the five-colored dragons for their extensive knowledge, and Doss's calm personality was also suitable for doing this kind of thing.

Blue Dragon Doss also frequently traveled between the Dragon Nest and Bay Stream City to discuss with Bronze Dragon Alinna, and although Caron had knowledge of various mature political systems and national structures in his mind, he never thought that the knowledge in his mind was necessarily correct.

He preferred to adapt to local conditions. The Dragon Group's territory had its own unique circumstances, and it was impossible to copy and apply things rigidly, so he only gave Blue Dragon Doss some suggestions for reference, allowing Blue Dragon Doss to refer to this knowledge to formulate a kingdom system that was in line with the Dragon Group's rule.

This also led to the claw marks on Blue Dragon Doss's forehead not disappearing for a long time, and Caron also discovered that some small scales on Doss's head had also disappeared, similar to baldness in humans. Fortunately, the dragon's scales could regenerate, avoiding the fate of the Blue Dragon becoming a bald dragon.

Kranaya was in charge of all the Dragonkin, and this was because the power of the female Red Dragon could suppress those strengthened Dragonkin. However, after everything was on the right track, these Dragonkin would be absorbed into the Imperial Guard, which was established to guard the Dragon Nest.

The power of each Dragonkin was enough to serve as the captain of the Imperial Guard, and including the Dragonkin Centaur Chiron and the Dragonkin Warg Saha, the Imperial Guard already had nearly twenty captains, each with only ten soldiers under their command.

Because these Dragonkin were influenced by the dragons, they were unwilling to recruit members who were thin and weak. They only recruited big guys who were over three meters tall and had outstanding strength. If humans who had undergone trials wanted to join the Imperial Guard, the minimum requirement was a height of two meters.

Therefore, although many dependents were enthusiastic about signing up to join the Imperial Guard, the green-skinned goblins and kobolds had been blacklisted by these Dragonkin.

They could only select members from the centaurs and gnoll barbarian soldiers who had not yet joined the cavalry regiment. However, the Imperial Guard not only needed to meet the strength standards, but also needed to test their loyalty to the dragons, so they had recruited very few members so far, and could only lead some outstanding soldiers to put on a show.

According to the plan, the first batch of Imperial Guards would be expanded to at least three thousand members in the future. Each current Imperial Guard captain would be promoted to Imperial Guard centurion, leading his hundred Imperial Guard members to become the Imperial Guard wall guarding the dragons.

Blue Dragon Akz's responsibilities remained the same, but Caron still added some burdens to him. This rare model dragon in the dragon group was now responsible for registering the household registration of all the people in the territory and creating a register for recording.

This was an essential step in ruling a territory, and the workload was also huge. It just so happened that Blue Dragon Akz was now inspecting the territory himself, which also made it convenient to supervise the completion of this work.

Only White Dragon Germot, in Caron's view, this White Dragon's way of thinking had changed, becoming more organized and more complete than the other five-colored dragons. He planned to send White Dragon Germot out, like Bronze Dragon Alinna, to open up new cities and develop the surrounding territories.

This was an experience that every dragon in the dragon group would need to go through in the future. Only through personal experience would they understand how to truly govern a kingdom, instead of being high above and making unrealistic demands and policies.

The purpose of White Dragon Germot's experience was not too far from the Dragon Nest, just on the land opened up at the foot of the Dragon Nest. Although the best and most prosperous place in the Dragon Group's territory was now the Golden Coast City, the foot of the Dragon Nest would eventually become the most central city in the Dragon Group's territory in the future.

This was the future center of political power, and perhaps also the economic center of the Dragon Kingdom. After all, this would be the largest and tallest city in the future, with convenient land and water transportation and a superior geographical location.

This would not change with the dragon's will, unless the dragon changed its nest. Otherwise, the wide open space at the foot of the dragon would gradually evolve into a central city sooner or later.

Rather than letting this city grow wildly and evolve freely, it was better to incorporate it into the plan from the beginning and guide the city's establishment and development.

Red Copper Dragon Alfred's work in the future would also be a key point, but because the Dragon Group's territory did not have talents in this area, it could only rely on Alfred to start from scratch. Caron also had a series of plans waiting for Alfred to run around for him.

The red dragon looked at another mountain peak. Ogre slaves and troll slaves, who had been captured in the gnolls' constant sweeps, were adding bricks and tiles to the dragon's castle day and night.

Those huge dragon beasts carrying stones quarried from the quarry slowly climbed up the mountain. With the help of these large creatures that could transport stones, the construction speed of the castle had been much faster. Perhaps by the end of winter, this castle, which had been built continuously for a long time, could be completed and welcome its owner.

"The foundation is still too weak, which has led to me, as the leader of the dragon group, not even having a good place to receive others. I can't always receive others on this bare hilltop, that's too rough. When the Dragon Castle is completed, there will be no such embarrassing and simple situation," the Red Dragon turned around and flew towards its nest.

Caron did not soak in his favorite warm magma bath, but instead went into his treasure cave. Now, the edge of Caron's nest volcano and the edge of the treasure cave had grown a dense circle of plants.

These were all magical plants similar to Dragon Saliva Grass and Dragon Blood Red Flame Grass, which were born under the influence of the Red Dragon's field radiation and bloodline power.

These magical plants grew vigorously around the volcano nest. Occasionally, under the stems and leaves of these plants, Caron would also find a kind of beetle-like animal with a black carapace, only as thick as an ordinary person's little finger.

This animal fed on the sap of these plants and the tiny worms mixed in the volcanic ash, and the excrement it excreted further promoted the growth of these magical plants.

Under the Red Dragon's long-term influence, the Red Dragon's nest was changing towards a super-small ecosystem. Even the Red Dragon would not know how the environment would evolve in the future.

This was the natural change of the world, full of many unknowns and wonders, but Caron felt that observing these changes might also give him some inspiration for a corner of the world's truth, so he did not intend to harvest these magical plants, which were considered extremely precious by outsiders, but instead let them grow freely and evolve freely.

The treasure house was now considered to have a rich collection, with all kinds of gold, gems, magic crystals, and elemental crystals, as well as many magical minerals and products that were washed up from the depths of the earth by magma and lava flows. Some things even lacked relevant knowledge in the dragon's inheritance.

However, the dragon's treasure appraisal talent allowed Caron to know that these were all good things, so they were all collected by the Red Dragon in the treasure house. In the Red Dragon's treasure house, gold was almost the lowest value collectible, and was the basic unit for measuring value.

Sometimes Caron looked at his treasure house and even felt that he should divide the treasure house into several areas. 'Low-value' collectibles like gold should not be mixed with other high-value collections. He felt that he was a very tasteful dragon.

Two huge snake eggs, nearly half a person tall, with shells as rich as the deepest night, were spat out by Caron from his storage stomach and placed in the corner, staying with the old scales shed by the Red Dragon himself.

These were the two snake eggs that Caron brought back from the Titan Python's nest. In this magic-filled treasure house, he believed that these two snake eggs should not be malnourished.

The Red Dragon's shed old scales carried the Red Dragon's taste and aura, which could not only allow the life in the snake eggs that had not yet hatched to familiarize themselves with the aura of their master in advance, but also bring protection to these two snake eggs.

After all, the field pressure covering the Red Dragon's entire nest was becoming more and more terrifying. Now, even the little female dragon Kranaya was not willing to come here to rub magma baths. Without the protection of the Red Dragon's aura, the two snake eggs might become dead eggs.

Caron also spat out the treasures he had seized from the Chimera cave and the Titan Python cave and piled them in the corner. The dragon's storage stomach space was not very large. Now, Caron's storage stomach only contained some high-level mithril and some refined divine iron excavated from the depths of the earth's core.

Caron planned to keep these things for the future to create exclusive magic weapons or secret treasures, so he had been keeping them in his storage stomach, using his power and bloodline to nourish these precious materials all the time.

Dragons could use magic weapons and magic secret treasures, but they were usually different from other races. Dragons could have some of the abilities and characteristics of these weapons and secret treasures as long as they swallowed these magic weapons and secret treasures into their stomachs.

Because they could not fully exert the power of magic weapons and secret treasures, they could only get some abilities and characteristics added, and there were restrictions. Dragons could only choose the blessing of one magic secret treasure. Too many would cause conflicts and even invalidate them, so most dragons did not care about these things.

Even the ability characteristics added by legendary weapons and secret treasures had a negligible effect in the eyes of the dragon clan that had grown to the later stage, and artifacts were not something that ordinary dragons could peek at.

Therefore, many dragons just put some magic weapons that were suitable for them into their treasure house as collections even if they snatched them.

But Caron wanted to make some different attempts. He did not yet understand whether it was a natural restriction or because dragons did not use mental power to control magic weapons and secret treasures. These were worth exploring. Even if he failed, he would only lose some materials.

If he could succeed, he could not only increase his understanding of the rules of the world from the side, but also give Caron some more methods.

"It seems that there are still many things to explore on the road to transcendence. Fortunately, although knowledge is infinite, my life can also be boundless, until the end of time!" Caron stood at the top of his nest, looking down at the endless green fields, and expressed his feelings.

Then he spread his wings and swooped down!

This land had ushered in autumn. Although the climate was still warm, the bleak autumn wind still dyed the endless grasslands and parts of the forest yellow.

Caron saw in the air that the cultivated farmland in the distance was covered with full fruits that had bent their waists.

Many farmers were naked, waving sickles, and working hard to harvest the crops. Occasionally, they looked up and chatted and laughed. There were also many children fighting and playing by the fields, or women falling behind to pick up the lost grain and tie up the crops on the ground.

Those dragon dependents on the other side of the river were much rougher. They buried their heads and raised their butts, waving their sickles and slashing wildly. Many lost and remaining crops were no longer cared about.

The pixies who were following behind to supervise the harvesting of grain were so angry that they flapped their little wings and sparks came out, muttering and flying around to scold those careless kobolds and gnolls.

These pixies were both male and female, and each wore hats and garlands woven from wheat ears or chestnut stalks, which represented their identity as agricultural officials.

These were all from the same clan that had been coaxed over by the pixie Raven. The pixie was even worse than Caron, the red dragon, in terms of not being human. She even suggested not paying these pixies, as long as Caron promised to protect the pixie clan forever. Well, they also needed to be fed.

Although the dragon's nature of loving bargains made Caron want to agree, Caron needed to build a kingdom with normal order. This kind of behavior was not good, and it would also easily make those pixies lazy, so Caron rejected this proposal.

However, Red Dragon felt that the salaries of these pixie sprites were still open to negotiation. Anyway, the one taking the blame would be the sprite Raven. In Caron's view, good friends are meant to take the blame. A little black pot won't break the small waist of the sprite Raven.

Caron landed in front of the orchard that the dragon group had cultivated in their youth. Now, this orchard was already full of fruits, with countless kinds of fruits emitting various fragrances, refreshing Caron, who smelled volcanic magma and sulfur all day long.

Caron's huge body gradually changed under the agitation of the magic power in his body, transforming from a red dragon nearly sixteen meters long with a wingspan of thirty-two meters into a humanoid monster six and a half meters tall, with scarlet horns pointing to the sky and covered with dense red scales.

A pair of wide wings also changed and shrunk, turning into a red dragon-style that matched the body proportions, naturally and relaxedly fitting against the back of the red dragon's tall body.

The entire huge head shrank proportionally, becoming more streamlined, with thick thorns growing from both cheeks, and thorns on the broad, thick shoulders rising to the sky like shoulder armor.

Sharp thorns also grew on the elbows of a pair of arms, and the hands also presented five flexible claws like those of a dragon descendant.

These scales and thorns on the body could be freely hardened or softened under Caron's subjective will, and the claws on the hands could also be freely extended or retracted.

When not needed, he could hide his claws like a big cat, and when needed, they would pop out immediately, turning into a sharp weapon for reaping lives.

This was the humanoid form that Caron transformed into using the transformation technique learned from his inheritance. In Caron's current aesthetic, this was the beautiful humanoid form that suited him. As for the human appearance, in his opinion, it was too delicate and did not conform to the majesty of a dragon.

Only those sissy green dragons and silver dragons particularly liked to appear in the form of humans and elves.

Although Caron now preferred his dragon body form, this humanoid form was also transformed for the convenience of some activities. After all, the red dragon's body was growing larger and larger, making it inconvenient to go anywhere.

Moreover, in the future, many humanoid races, including humans, would become citizens of his ruling kingdom, and the humanoid form would also make it easier to gain recognition in some situations. After all, when a huge red dragon stares at you with indifferent vertical pupils, no one will not have some terrible thoughts in their heart.

This was the last compromise Caron made for his kingdom.

The trees in the dragon group's orchard were very tall, two or three times taller than their counterparts in the wild. No one knew how many ghostly things the green dragon Anta Jena and the gnoll Yugu had buried underground in the orchard during this time.

Caron's tall body stepped into the orchard, slightly frowning. Even in his current humanoid form, his six-and-a-half-meter tall body seemed quite restricted.

And the six-and-a-half-meter humanoid form was the lowest limit for the red dragon to transform into a human form. In this form, Caron could exert most of his power.

Although Caron's original form did not appear clumsy like other dragons, shrinking the body also meant an increase in relative flexibility. It could be said that Caron's strength was not much restricted.

This was also the lowest limit for Caron's use of transformation. He was unwilling to reduce his strength in order to transform into a humanoid form. In his opinion, this was a behavior of abandoning the fundamentals.

With a thought in his mind, the newly born heart energy in his body agitated between his flesh and blood, and his body gradually became shorter, and the entire form shrank proportionally slightly, until about three and a half meters, Caron realized that his body had reached the limit of control.

Crack, Caron's claws clenched tightly, feeling the power of this form, which was slightly reduced compared to the previous power, but not significantly reduced.

Among the dragon's inheritance, there are two kinds of knowledge: transformation and body transformation. Transformation is a spell that dragons can use to transform into any form of creature they know, while body transformation is a spell that dragons can freely enlarge and shrink their bodies.

However, body transformation is more difficult than transformation, and not every dragon has the knowledge of body transformation.

However, Caron's current change was not achieved by using the dragon's body transformation technique, but by using his heart energy to control his body's flesh and blood.

This power, born between Caron's body and flesh and blood, and highly unified with Caron's mind and spiritual will, was extremely magical. According to Caron's experience, he found that the reaction of heart energy was faster than the reaction of the Bronze Certificate on the former noble Will Clarence.

The power seed of the Bronze Certificate could achieve the speed of thought, which was already a super-first-class reaction speed, which was countless times faster than a mage agitating magic power to outline a spell model and then releasing magic. This was also one of the reasons why some warriors could face mages.

However, the heart energy on Caron's body was almost spontaneous, and it moved as soon as the heart moved, without any reaction time at all. The release was even faster than the red dragon's bloodline talent spells, perhaps because this power was born between the heart and the spirit.

"Tsk, it seems that I have discovered a remarkable ability," Caron strolled in the orchard, feeling a different vision. He was used to seeing the world with the vision of a dragon, but now it was a bit strange.

He walked along the tree-lined avenue into the depths of the orchard. These tree-lined avenues were all trampled out by the young dragons in the past, and they were also considered wide for the current Caron.

In the depths of the orchard stood a tall stone pavilion, which was where the young dragons used to rest. For the current dragon, the function of this pavilion was probably just to rub against the scales and give the dragon an itch.

Caron's gaze looked at the stone pavilion. Two people were sitting on the crude stone table in the pavilion, one was the young squint-eyed mage Hughes, and the other was the beautiful Countess Bartoli with black-red short hair and clear blue eyes.

A male pixie sprite was fluttering its wings beside the two, and two glasses of honey fruit wine with a sweet scent were placed in front of the two.

"Oh, it's Lord Caron," the pixie sprite discovered Caron's figure and quickly greeted him. This magical creature did not rely on appearance to identify other people's identities, but relied on a unique aura, so it was easy to find Caron's true face.

"Go, get me a glass of honey fruit wine too, super size!" Caron waved away the pixie sprite.

The squint-eyed mage Hughes and the short-haired Countess Bartoli also stood up. Hughes looked at Caron's humanoid form, and the eyes that were squinting finally opened a little bit, and exclaimed in surprise: "Caron, you are indeed a magical genius. It is rare for a red dragon to master transformation in his youth!"

Countess Bartoli gave Caron a noble etiquette and said, "Good day, honorable Lord of the Dragon Group!"

Caron nodded calmly. He had no good feelings for the squint-eyed mage. Even though he had cooperated with him before, he had suffered a loss from the mage's calculations. Before he could beat the mage, he had no special enthusiasm for treating this mage.

"It's rare, after so long, Hughes, you still haven't learned to open your eyes when you speak. That's disrespectful to others!"

For Countess Bartoli, he was slightly better, and responded: "Good day, beautiful lady."

The calm face of the squint-eyed mage suddenly showed a constipation-like expression, and his neck also swelled a bit. The Countess Bartoli next to him laughed suddenly, watching with interest the scene of her smart brother rarely being deflated.

"Sit down, don't be polite," Caron motioned for the two to sit down, as if he was not the one who had just made sarcastic remarks, "Hughes, I heard from Gemott that the conditions you proposed this time are unusually generous,"

Caron looked at the squint-eyed mage's eyes that had returned to calm, and tapped the cold stone table lightly with his red claws and asked: "You said you can open a magic academy in my territory, and you can incorporate the magic academy into the Dragon Academy, and teach magic knowledge for a fee,"

"You will also donate the small inventions made by your mages during experiments, and the improved papermaking and printing technology to the dragon group for free. I don't believe you are just trading with me to earn some gold coins to pay these prices. Tell me, what is your real purpose! Or, are you here to ask for the return of your previous investment!"

Caron's eyes suddenly became stern, staring at Hughes's eyes, and said solemnly: "Don't use other excuses to perfunctory me, unless you think dragons are fools!"

"Of course not, Caron," Hughes's expression also became solemn, "Our investment in you is only because we are optimistic about your future. We mages don't care about the interests of those gold coins. This investment is just to enhance our relationship!"

The mage Hughes stood up, took a deep breath, and then said: "Caron, I can tell you something, which is also the root of our scholars and mages. This is our attitude and sincerity."

The expression on Caron's face softened, and he nodded.

"In a distant era, that was the era after the dragons ruled the world, just like the era when elves and dwarves ruled the world. There was an era created by many great mages,"

"In that great age that all mages yearned for, magical civilization was extremely prosperous. Those legendary mages created a great empire, the Magic Empire, and the ruler of the empire was called the Magic Emperor, and there was also a Supreme Magic Council that only legendary mages could be promoted to!"

The squint-eyed mage Hughes could not help but bring some fanaticism in his tone. He waved his arms, as if he was giving a speech on stage,

"In that great magic empire, there were hundreds of legendary mages, and even mages who stepped into the demigod realm were not in the minority,"

"With the development of exploration and civilization, the Magic Empire conquered one plane world after another. These mages were no longer satisfied with building mage towers in the terrestrial realm,"

"So they used great knowledge to build countless sky tower groups, and endless floating cities floated in the sky of endless worlds, ruling all living beings. Their great power was even comparable to the divine light of the gods,"

The squint-eyed mage's eyes also widened, and endless longing and envy appeared on his face, "At the most peak moment, these mages even drove the sky tower groups and endless floating cities into the void and chaos to explore endless knowledge and mysteries,"

"They even dared to reach out to the gods, block the beliefs and divine power of the human gods, and tried to cut off the gods' kingdoms to study. Some crazy mages even planned to capture the gods alive and study them by slicing them!" The mage said here, his face suddenly became a little frightened,

"However, at a certain moment, this extremely powerful magic empire suddenly collapsed overnight. The Magic Emperor was also killed by the gods himself. The Supreme Magic Council fell apart. Endless sky tower groups fell like rain, falling between the earth and the ocean. Infinite floating cities also fell into the endless abyss,"

"The entire magical civilization was instantly wiped out, and the history of its existence was also covered up by time. This memory only exists in the memories of some ancient gods and lives, and no records can be left in the world."

The mage Hughes swallowed, stopped his words, and looked dryly at Caron, who looked like he was listening to a story.

"It's a pity, a great civilization," Caron came back to his senses, but according to his idea, although this magical civilization was courageous, it was obvious that the heads of those who studied magic were burned out.

Even the dragons, a powerful race that spread throughout all the worlds, did not dare to easily attack the gods. Although the dragon race has declined today, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if there is only one ancient dragon in each plane, the endless planes combined are definitely stronger than this magic empire.

Although the strength of the legendary mage is currently out of reach in Caron's eyes, it is estimated that the gods will not pay attention to it. After all, the legendary mage only touches the rules and masters the rules, while the gods themselves are almost equivalent to the origin of the laws.

"So, you scholar mages are the descendants of the Magic Empire, the remaining civilization?" Caron asked.

"Almost," the mage nodded, "We summarized history and realized that a pure magician civilization is crazy. Magical civilization can be used as the pillar of civilization, but it cannot be too pure."

"So, what is your purpose in finding me?" Caron seemed to understand.

"There is a part of the reason, and the other part of the reason is that we have discovered many lost knowledge and civilizations of the Magic Empire that have sunk in other planes through the remaining memories of history,"

The mage Hughes talked eloquently, "But the situation in each plane is different. Only dragons, creatures that existed at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, will not be severely suppressed and affected by various planes like other creatures. In this regard, even legendary mages are not as good as you dragons!"

Caron nodded. This is why dragons are called perfect creatures. Not only can they survive in all environments, but almost all planes have their figures. Even some creatures stronger than dragons cannot do it.

For example, the legendary creature that regards dragons as prey, the Thorned Mountain Cat.
