The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Chapter 31 The Kobold and the Ringing Egg [edit]

"What? Get out!"

When Ron made the magic construct just now, he discovered that there was a weak life reaction in the dense jungle ahead.

Originally thought it might be a first-order monster: a horned rabbit or a fire rat, but Ron didn't bother to drive them away.

Anyway, he is in the real state now, and he has not released the transformation technique to shrink his body.

No matter what low-level monster sees this huge monster that is nearly 20 meters long, it will crawl on the ground or turn around and run away.

But this weak creature in the jungle was different. It didn't run away after finding Ron, but approached tens of meters, and then stopped there to observe him.

This kind of reaction is either a fool or an intelligent creature.

"Xi Xi."

The dense branches and leaves were pushed aside, and a kobold with a height of 2 meters, a metallic luster, and blood all over his body came out of the woods.

Facing Ron, he knelt on the ground with a 'plop'.

He stuttered and spoke the awkward dragon language, which was a natural language of the kobolds.

Don't underestimate this weak guy, they are also a kind of dragonborn, with extremely thin dragon blood in their bodies.

"Great dragon, lowly kobold Kerry greets you, your scales are as tough as iron, your body is strong enough to smash the gates of the castle, and you are faster than the eagle in flight."

It boasted about Ron's beauty, but this is nonsense, no one in the entire star world knows the beauty of the rainbow dragon.

"My eyes can't see clearly in the middle of the night, and I offended you unintentionally. Please forgive me for my sinful behavior, Lord Zhenlong. I will dedicate my eternal loyalty to you."

The kobold begged Ron again for mercy.

Ron looked at the strong and somewhat excessive kobold in front of him, and listened to his confession impatiently.

The main thing is that this guy's Dragon language is too ugly, it sounds like noise to him.

This was the first time he encountered a creature like a kobold after coming to the plane of Karen.

There are very few humanoid intelligent creatures in the World of Warcraft forest around Oracle Town, because the surrounding area has been cleared more than once by the passing mercenary group.

The same is true of other cities.

The monster forests around human cities have basically been plowed countless times, and powerful monsters have long been killed or driven to other places.

Different from other main planes, the human kingdom on the Karen plane is a bit too powerful. They occupied more than 70% of Karen's fertile land and expelled all the high-level monsters.

The remaining weak monsters also belong to the intentional stocking mode. After all, the production of advanced weapons and armor requires strategic items such as magic cores.
And once a powerful mutated monster appears around, the teachers of the Magic Academy in Oracle Town will form a group to crusade.

It's not for nothing to invite you in.

It is said to be the School of Magic, but in fact they are the real masters of Oracle Town. Many teachers have not taught a few students in their lives, but are only responsible for military work.

The guards in the city are basically responsible for the security work in the city, and they don't have any strong combat capabilities.

----

Looking at the kobold kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Ron suddenly thought of Gandalf.

Although the old man swore to be loyal to him and Vivienne, he still had to guard against him. This special kobold might be able to use it.

"Stand up, weak kobold, and answer your master's doubts. Why is your body so different from ordinary kobolds?"

Ron recognized this kobold as his Nth dependent.

When he went to the dragon beast girl area before, he also took in a few dependents, but they were all unpalatable scum of the third and fourth ranks.

These Warcraft dependents are mainly used to provide him with coordinates and to find targets. Ron has engraved a teleportation magic circle on their bodies. Once he encounters a mission target, Ron can quickly come to them.

【Goal [-]: Visit the city flying in the sky and taste the water of life】

Ron had also considered taking the route of creating a dragon family empire to search for news about the third target.

But compared to intelligent humans, it is no less difficult for these reckless beasts to go to the world to inquire and find news, as it is to let the kobolds blow the horn against the real dragon.

In contrast, it is more reliable to snatch the dominion of a human kingdom to find it.

Moreover, there should be many solitary books that record history in the royal family. These are the witnesses of real history, not a rough historical reference book like the "Karen Encyclopedia".

"My great dragon, thank you for your forgiveness, your greatness is like the sea."

"Stop, stop, get to the point!"

Ron had to interrupt the kobold's praise. If this guy was allowed to continue, he might not be able to finish his sentence at dawn.

You can't underestimate the words of praise for the dragon that the kobolds have accumulated over the years!

"As you command, great dragon."

The burly kobold did not raise his head, and said respectfully as before.

"I was actually born from a [ringing egg]"

"This body has been like this since I was born. The people around me regard me as the leader, and they elected me as the leader when I became an adult. It wasn't until we were defeated by the group of drow that we fell to this point."

The kobold babbled about his experience, and Ron had already entered a state of contemplation.

Drow he knows.

This kind of elf living in the dark dungeon has been expelled from the elves by the high elves.

What's interesting is that all the high elves in this plane have disappeared, leaving only snow elves and drow elves, who have been expelled from elf status, still existing.

But this has nothing to do with him.

After hearing the word [Sounding Egg], Ron began to search for information in the two Dragon Legacy.

He remembered seeing the name before.

After flipping for a while, I finally found it in the corner of my memory.

found it!
Ron clicked on this entry, and a lot of information flooded his mind:
Because the kobolds have the blood of the dragon, their reproduction method is oviparous. After the female kobolds become pregnant, they will lay 2-5 eggs at a time.

Occasionally, by chance, a kobold will lay an extremely rare kobold egg that makes a metallic clang when struck with its paw.

The tribe will hide these special eggs from enemies until they hatch.

The kobolds hatching from these metallic eggs will become the strongest of their generation and future chieftains of the kobold tribe.

Usually, the kobolds hatched from the "cracking eggs" will become warriors who only serve metal dragons or gem dragons, as if this is their destiny.

For the kobolds, this is a supreme honor. [Metal dragons usually do not take in kobolds as their dependents]

But kobolds never openly talk about the "ringing egg."

It's a secret that's only euphemistically mentioned in one popular kobold folklore, in which a kobold warrior in the service of a certain golden dragon returns to kill all her kin and childhood companions.

[Ron: Killing relatives righteously?Isn't this pure beast? 】

Some kobolds think this is a good reason to track down and destroy any other kobold's chirping eggs, but these selfish creatures never consider destroying their own tribe's.

Chromatic dragons who know about chirping eggs will do everything they can to find and destroy them, but they rarely find such a rare egg, and most kobolds and chromatoids have never seen such a legendary egg in their lifetime.

It is worth mentioning that

Few metallic dragons admit to being concerned about mutations in kobold reproduction, but that doesn't mean they haven't noticed the situation and found ways to take advantage of it.

[Ron: I really want its allegiance, but I can't bear to look for him? 】

Explanations for the magic behind this phenomenon range from Bahamut's secret blessing to the ancient Archmage's curse.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't tell that your background is not simple."

Ron probably understood the origin of this kobold, and he also met a "legendary species" among kobolds?

The legendary dragon breed seems to be a good match for the "legendary breed" kobolds.

Ron scratched his chin in thought, then flicked his tail, and threw a scale in front of the kobold, with a little red blood on it.

This is what he left on purpose.

"Stupid kobold, from now on you can only serve me.

If you let me know that you shake your head and tail at other metal dragons, you will meet the wrath of real dragons! "

The strong kobold quickly lowered his head a little lower, shouting words like gratitude, eternity, and loyalty.

He pressed a shallow imprint on the ground under its face.

Ron nodded slightly, the loyalty of the kobolds can be trusted.

It is in their nature to never betray their dragon master.

"Now, I will bestow upon you supreme glory!

Take my scales, become a mighty Dragonborn kobold, and go find what I need! "

Ron watched the kobold in front of him raise his body.

He respectfully picked up the bloody dragon scale, then cut a huge wound on his chest with his claws, enduring the severe pain to graft the dragon scale onto his chest.

[Dragon Vein Kobold: The Kobold makes a service agreement with the dragon, and symbolizes its loyalty by grafting the scales discarded by its owner on the muscles of its chest.It will gain the powers associated with its master's elemental energies, but relinquish its individuality and free will. 】

This scale is the best contract, and from now on this kobold will only be controlled by Ron.

After the dragon scales are inlaid, it takes a while for the kobold body to evolve into a dragon vein kobold.

And Ron didn't have the patience to wait for him to evolve slowly.

He gave the kobold the first task: live in Oracle Town, be careful not to be discovered by others, and at the same time search for the information Ron needs.

Then, Ron turned and left.

He was leaving Oracle Town in a few days, and the Dragon Vein Kobold was just playing casually, so he didn't have much expectations.

The moment before he spread his dragon wings to take off, Ron suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to the kobold kneeling on the ground.

"By the way, I don't like your name very much"

"You will call later"

Ron paused, thought for a moment, and smiled wickedly.

"From now on, your name will be Hogg."
