Red Dragon Emperor

Another year after the awakening of magical abilities.

By the river, Jose stood by the pool and watched his own reflection in the water.

It was a juvenile red dragon as long as a truck. It had a pair of symmetrical large horns with sweeping threads on its head. There were three rows of small horns between the big horns. The three rows of small horns stretched all the way to the top of the head, like a king's crown.

The end of the horn crown is connected with a fin-like swept back frill. The light-transmitting crimson frill starts from the head and extends along the back to the tail. Matching the well-defined and strong muscles on the body, it looks mighty and domineering.

"Oh~, I'm handsome again."

He snorted, and a little flame came out of his nostrils. This was because he had just entered the juvenile stage, and he was not yet able to control the sudden surge of power well, resulting in the exposure of energy.

"In three years, the body length has increased by 3.3 meters. According to the normal developmental rules of red dragons, Jin Kela's growth gain effect is about 10%, which is not bad," Jose muttered to himself.

Looking back on the past three years, he has a lot of emotion.

Everything was just as he had planned, and the remaining deterrent power of the Red Nest Mistress prevented the powerful extraordinary beasts from stepping into the Jogor Mountains, which bought the two young dragons two years of stability.

However, since the third year, extraordinary creatures have been attracted by the relatively safe hunting grounds of the Jogol Mountains, and have migrated in one after another.

Fortunately, none of the migrating species were powerful species, and Jose had awakened his ability to cast spells ahead of time, so the two young dragons could handle it.

Jose originally thought that he and Cassie would be able to better defend the territory and even expand it when they grew up as teenagers, but an accident disrupted his plan.

Thinking of this, he looked at the river rather depressed. There were some broken pieces of wood floating on the river, which were the wreckage of a small wooden boat.

Human adventurers punted into their territory.

It's just that the adventurers didn't come here to slay dragons, and they never even thought that they would encounter dragons.

Unprepared adventurers encountered the young Bailong lurking in the water, and the result was predictable. Cassie overturned the boat from the bottom of the water and tore the boat into pieces. The adventurer who fell into the water was not Bailong's. opponent.

Hush!

A five-meter-long juvenile white dragon emerged from the river, holding two drenched human adventurers in its claws. After three years of growth, Cassie also made some progress and stopped stuttering.

"Boss, listen to you, two people are left alive," Cassie said, throwing the two of them in front of Jose.

As soon as they landed, the two spit out the river water lying on the river beach.

This was the first time Jose encountered humans since he escaped from the Red Nest. He observed two people, one with blond hair and the other with red hair, dressed similarly to the medieval ghosts in previous lives.

For the humans in this world, he has no sense of belonging, and even has vigilance and slight hostility, because he is a dragon, and he is a five-color dragon. Most of the teams that hunt and kill underage five-color dragons are formed by humans. of.

He patiently waited for the two of them to stop retching: "You two, have you finished vomiting? We should talk about business after vomiting."

Their legs trembled, and they looked at the amiable (ferocious) red dragon with ashen faces.

"Don't be afraid. I'm different from other dragons. I'm being reasonable. I just want to ask you some questions."

The blond young man rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, mustered up his courage, and asked in common language, "Can you let us go after answering the questions?"

"Of course...no."

If Jose is an adult dragon, it doesn't matter whether these two people let go or not, but now, he doesn't want them to go back alive, and then sell his news everywhere.

"It's impossible to survive, but if you cooperate, you will walk more peacefully. In summary, cooperation is more beneficial to you," stated a fact that was extremely cruel to the two of them in a light tone.

The red-haired youth blushed,

Based on the idea of ​​death anyway, he asked loudly: "Aren't you talking about reason! What kind of reason is this?!"

"Power is truth! I am strong and I am justified!" Jose stretched out his dragon wings, and the shadow of the dragon wings enveloped the two of them, and at the same time, Longwei exploded.

The drenched two suddenly felt as if their hearts were being tightly grasped, and they collapsed to the ground.

Jose smelled a bad smell, saw the light yellow liquid scattered under the two people, and raised his eyebrows.

This kind of thing is more effective than direct intimidation.

"Next, I'll ask, you answer, the first question, why did you come here?"

"..."

Adventurers who can be bullied by young dragons are not hard-headed. Under high pressure, they confessed everything.

It turned out that they were not adventurers, but private soldiers belonging to the Viscount Tagule family. Their master was trying to open a smuggling channel in the Jogol Mountains to connect the northern prairie and the human kingdom, so they were sent to explore the canyon waterway.

"I see," Jose said suddenly.

Due to the barrier of the two natural moats of the Jogor Mountains and the Mirkwood, there are only two roads between the human kingdom and the Northland Prairie. One is located on the western edge of the Jogor Mountains, where there is a narrow mountain pass, and the other is the It is a sea route, taking a boat around the dark forest to the east of the prairie.

Horses, gold, and specialty products on the Northland prairie are continuously exported to the human world through two commercial routes, and humans transport food, cloth, etc. to the prairie, which brings huge profits to the participants.

However, one of the two trade routes is located in the west and the other is located in the east. The position of the middle kingdom is very embarrassing, so a large piece of fat is in front of you but you can't eat it. You can imagine the uncomfortable feeling.

The greedy nobles of the kingdom turned their heart into action and have been trying to get through the Jogor Mountains for hundreds of years, but due to the high mountains, dense forests and numerous extraordinary beasts, they have never succeeded.

In the era when the Mistress of the Red Nest oppressed the Northland, the Jogol Mountains were even more of a den of dragons and tigers, but now the greedy human nobles see hope...

Extraordinary creatures have moved back, and human nobles have intervened again. It is meaningless to stay in the Jogol Mountains.

Thinking of this, Jose asked the second question: "In recent years, have you heard the news about the Red Nest Mistress?"

"I haven't heard of it. I only know that after the war three years ago, Savannah never appeared again."

Jose lowered his head and thought for a while. Savannah probably escaped. If the dragon slaying was successful, the human country would have chopped off her head and hung it on the top of the city to publicize it.

"The third question, those big things happened recently, don't worry, you can think about it slowly..."

Through the narration of the two captives, the two dragons know some major events that have happened in the mainland recently.

If you are in the world, you cannot escape from the world. Blindly avoiding the world will only make you more and more narrow and out of tune with the world, thus missing the opportunities brought by the progress of the times.

Of course, Jose, who is still in his teenage years, is not yet able to seize opportunities, but it is always right to know more about current events.

After asking some more questions, Jose kept his promise to deal with the two people who lost their value painlessly and harmlessly.

"Cassie, we have to move."

Cassie is silent, he is also a true dragon with a complete inheritance, and he has learned about the past of his ancestors.

Five-color dragons that can live to give birth to offspring all have a common feature, that is, stay away from intelligent creatures when they are young, and the farther they can hide, the better.

"Boss, where are we going next?"

Jose had already made plans for his own dragon life, took out the map of the Northland given by the Black Dragon, and pointed to the border area of ​​the Jogol Mountains, Mirkwood and the Northland Prairie: "Go here."

One of the two commercial roads is located in the east and the other is located in the west. Therefore, the middle part of the prairie is sparsely populated and the monsters are rampant.

Counting their ages, the two dragons have also reached the initial stage of gathering their relatives and forming forces. Those native monsters who are not very strong are good targets.
