Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 205 The Great Storm Tunnel

An electric arc jumped out of Ron's fingertips, sinking into the body of Old Hado whose life energy was about to be completely exhausted.

Under Ron's control, the electric current didn't hurt old Haddo, but penetrated into his skin full of age spots and merged into his body, temporarily revived the organs that were already approaching failure and shock.

The powerful beating of the heart made Old Hador's breathing a little easier, and it was no longer so difficult. Ron pressed Old Hador's shoulder, and directly used the space to teleport back to the transformation circle prepared for Old Hador.

Ron, whose body size has skyrocketed to the level of an ancient dragon, is also more comfortable in controlling power. It is easy to build a power barrier to isolate space fluctuations on the old Haddo's body during the transmission, and to avoid the old Hadow who is in poor health. deterioration.

"The transformation of the ritual can only be done by yourself, and others cannot provide any help. Remember, stick to your will, which may increase the success rate by a little bit."

Old Hado smiled calmly at Long, as if he could accept success or failure happily, but a fighting spirit seemed to burn in his eyes as he strode into the transformation circle.

Ron watched the hunched figure of old Hador reach the center of the circle, raised his claws, and signaled to the family members responsible for monitoring the data of the circle to activate the circle.

The magic circle was lit up, and the blood mist rose, and the pained cries of old Hador sounded in the mist, and a thin and crooked figure could be seen in the haze rising and deforming in the blood mist.

The hoarse and dull hum of pain gradually turned into a powerful howl, and Ron could feel that a life was establishing a special connection with him.

Ron nodded slightly. This special connection came from old Hador who used his blood to transform into a half-dragon creature. This proved that he had successfully transformed, and the rest was only a matter of time.

The blood mist gradually thinned, and a body was nearly [-] meters tall. The skin was covered with large areas of blue scales. The pupils turned into dangerous vertical pupils. A creature with two pairs of obsidian dragon horns, one large and one small, gradually appeared on its forehead.

The moment it met Ron's gaze, the creature immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Haddo has lived up to your expectations."

Ron motioned him to stand up: "How does it feel to be transformed into a half-dragon creature?"

Hadow's face covered with fine blue scales seemed to have returned to its youthful appearance, and there was a smile between calm and frivolous on his rather handsome face.

"I feel 50 years younger. In fact, after transformation, my lifespan limit is about 180 to 100 years old. For the extra [-] years, please allow me to continue to serve you and your kingdom."

The lifespan of a real dragonman is similar to that of a human being, and most of them can live to be 80 to [-] years old. However, old Hador did not transform into a dragonman, but became an existence similar to a dragon vein warlock or a dragon descendant. raised dramatically.

Ron nodded and smiled: "The Executive Yuan has cleaned up a large number of moths and just needs manpower. I can't think of a more suitable candidate than you."

Asking to go to work actively, but also acting like I'm the only one, which boss doesn't love it?

After a pause, Ron said: "Also, I heard that you have never married a wife or had any children before. It is certainly good to dedicate your life to the kingdom, but life is far more than that."

Ron got the information from the medical institute. Before retiring, old Hadow devoted himself to overwork in administrative work and broke down his body when he was only in his 70s. Even if he cured all the diseases later, he couldn't recover.

According to his method, even the body of a half-dragon creature won't last long in his hands. Long En doesn't want such a useful subordinate to die in 50 or [-] years. Long En must drain him dry. Regardless of all values, family and marriage are a good choice for people to relax after work.

Well, only part of the time, let's put aside the special case where my wife comes home from get off work and asks if she still loves her now that she's turned into a cockroach.

Long En's starting point was to drain Hado's surplus value, but what fell into Hado's ears was the king's relationship with his personal life. He was immediately moved and inexplicably moved.

In his previous life, a prostitute whom he sympathized with and fell in love with died during the demon summoning incident in Blackstone Town. In order to prevent the poor from suffering greater suffering from happening again in front of him, he devoted the rest of his life to In the process of building the kingdom.

Many years later, he also thought about marrying a wife and having children, but at that time he was already old, so he put out this thought.

But now, the transformed Hadow's body has returned to the appearance of a young and middle-aged man, which makes him feel that he has regained the vitality of his youth, and even his mentality has begun to change to a younger one.

Coupled with the dragon's keen instinct for sex, Haddo felt that the king's suggestion seemed to be good...

"I will seriously consider your opinion, Your Majesty, but now I can't wait to devote myself to the construction of the kingdom."

Ron nodded in agreement: "The guy who replaced your original position after you retired has already been charged with 26 counts of corruption and bribery and put into prison. He will be hanged soon. You can go back and take over the job directly."

Hadow was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Landon? I thought he would be a good candidate to take over my position."

Long En's expression did not change and he only said: "Power corrupts people's hearts the most."

After speaking, Ron's wings whipped up a strong wind, and flew towards the foot of the Storm Mountain Range under the saluting gaze of Hador and his family members.

After learning that Ron was awake, Blue Ear couldn't wait to ask him to meet him, and personally reported that the tunnel that Ron ordered to dig before he fell asleep had been completed six years ago.

Ron is here to inspect the work of the kobold clan.

Still far above the sky, Ron saw the wide road at the foot of the mountain and the tunnel opening at the end of the road.

And the big red banners hanging on both sides of the tunnel entrance...

"Safe production should not be taken by chance, violation of regulations will kill people!"

"All your hard work leads to an accident, and all your hard work is in vain. Those who suffer the most from all the hardships suffer the most!"

“Warmly welcome His Majesty the King to visit and inspect the Storm Tunnel Project!”

"Warmly celebrate the completion of the storm tunnel project!"

Ron: "..."

I don't know why, but a smell of civil engineering hits my face, but kobolds probably don't know how to run away with buckets...

Landing on the flat ground in front of the tunnel, Blue Ears had already waited there respectfully with a bunch of kobolds.

"Great Lord of Storms, King of Dragons, Dragon of God's Favor, Your Majesty the Great King, your loyal and humble servants have fulfilled your orders!"

All the kobolds shouted enthusiastically in unison, as neatly as if they had rehearsed dozens of times, and the reverence contained in the sight of Ron was so exaggerated that even Ron felt a little awkward.

Part of the reason for this is that after Ron woke up from a deep sleep, his size grew to the level of an ancient dragon, and the kobolds respected the stronger the real dragon.

And the other part is because Ron didn't let them work for nothing, but instead paid him a salary higher than the average salary. For kobolds who are mentally prepared, don't be too moved.

Carving a passage through the Storm Mountains may seem difficult, but the kobolds have mastered it, being among the best miners and certainly the best tunnellers.

It is not too difficult for them to gather the strength of all the kobold clans in the Duolan Kingdom to dig the storm tunnel.

On the contrary, Ron ordered in advance that the Executive Yuan, which cooperated with them to develop the storm tunnel, neither made them work day and night to death on the construction site, nor did they deduct their salaries. The treatment has exceeded that of many Dolan citizens. .

When the kobolds are taking a break, they can rush into the market town built specifically for them next to the tunnel construction site with a lot of Jindir to squander it. Being rich and not very smart makes them the favorite customers of taverns, legal casinos, and licensed prostitutes. .

Although this also caused many kobolds to not save any money for decades, this has nothing to do with the Executive Yuan and Long En.

After Ron asked Blue Ear about the situation of the tunnel, he refused Blue Ear's request to accompany him on the tour, and flew into the tunnel alone.

The tunnel is not dark. Luminous mycelium grows all over the tunnel wall, allowing creatures entering the tunnel to easily see the environment inside the tunnel.

This is the mycelium of the mushroom man king (mushroom man is a mushroom xùn person, not a tan tán person, the author read half of the big characters before, it was a joke) Karapazhuo spread here from the ground of Black Rock City.

As Black Rock City became the capital of Duolan, the city was getting bigger and bigger, and the population was also increasing. Thousands of tons of domestic garbage and excrement were produced every day. Whether garbage or excrement is delicious in its eyes.

Mushroom King: Ollie, fucked my brothers!
With such a sufficient supply of nutrients, the fungus king Karapazhuo also grew bigger and bigger, and the area covered by mycelium has spread hundreds of kilometers, and it is still growing every day.

It has no trouble getting one of its branches to grow into the storm tunnel.

Galloping forward along the glowing tunnel, at Ron's current speed, he flew for two full hours before a dazzling hole of light finally appeared in front of him.

Like a cat's eye, the dragon's pupils changed from concentrating to standing up, and the sudden strong light did not affect Ron in any way.

The smell of the salty sea breeze is getting stronger, and the airflow in the tunnel is gradually strengthening.

Long En rushed out of the tunnel, and a violent storm hit his face.

The Sea of ​​Storms on the side of the Storm Mountain Range is still in a harsh environment, and there are continuous storms like natural disasters.

But today's Ron is no longer what he used to be (referring to the terrifying dragon with a length of more than ten meters). Ron, who has grown to 33 meters and entered the ranks of ancient dragons, already has the strength to ignore natural disasters of this level.

It can even influence and use this natural disaster to a certain extent.

The body of the giant blue dragon flew into the clouds, releasing the huge mental power and lightning elements at the same time, controlling the lead cloud that caused the thunderstorm to scatter and retreat, forcibly creating a clear sky without wind, rain, thunder and lightning, allowing the bright sun to shine through the lead cloud. Spilled in holes.

But as soon as Ron's power disappeared, the surrounding dark clouds immediately came back to fill this hole, and the storm, thunder and lightning remained as usual.

"This method is feasible, but you have to set up a magic circle to maintain it."

Ron planned to build a safe outpost in this natural disaster. If he didn't want the outpost to be destroyed in the storm, he had to create an environment suitable for survival.

According to the news about the Rexavik Empire he got from the Storm Clan and the sentry tower, there are not only the palace and legacy of the ancient blue dragon emperor in this sea of ​​​​storms, but also many people under the rule of the Rexavik Empire. Ancient survivors.

The Storm Clan once went to explore the situation in the Sea of ​​Storms and determined that many remnants of the Rexavik Empire were still living under the Sea of ​​Storms.

Those creatures include mermaids, water elves, deep sea naga, lizardfolk, dragon turtles, kuo-toa, locatha, sahuagin, tritons, etc.

In the tens of thousands of years of history, these races have long forgotten the once huge Rexavik Empire, and established their own tribes and kingdoms.

Many races among them are not weak. If they can be subdued and united, Long will have an army that is invincible in the ocean.

The excavation of the Storm Tunnel is the first step in the Kingdom of Duolan's conquest of the Sea of ​​Storms.

Ron glanced at the rough sea in the storm again, turned around and flew towards the direction he came from.

He wanted to contact the Storm Clan first, and bring all the information about the family members and survivors in their hands. As the head of the Storm Clan, they would not refuse Ron's request.

By the way, Ron would also like to take a look at the current repair progress and research results of the giant sentry tower.

But more than 30 years have passed, and Ron doesn't expect too much about it. The structure technology used by the sentry tower is obviously much higher than the technology they have mastered now. It can be said that there is a big technical gap in the middle.

Although Lisa Pana has some understanding of constructs, it is very difficult to crack or repair the sentry tower with that little knowledge.

As far as the current research results they have obtained on the sentry tower, they were all completed under the order of Ron and the active cooperation of the sentry tower.

Just after flying into the tunnel, a huge will pervades the tunnel along the mycelium.

"Your Excellency Kalapazo?"

All mycelium and fungi are extensions of the body of the Myconid King Kalapazo, through which he can transmit his will to the place where the mycelium extends.

Clusters of round mushrooms grow out of the mycelium and mature quickly. After spraying spores, they wither and rot immediately, and are decomposed and absorbed by the mycelium.

Eloquent fluorescent spores sprinkled on Ron's body, establishing spiritual communication with Ron.

"The body is getting bigger and bigger, and my reaction is getting slower and slower. Only now do I realize that you have woken up from a deep sleep. Your growth is amazing. I have never seen a real dragon that grows as fast as you. I once There is an emerald dragon friend, it took him 1000 or [-] years to grow up to your appearance."

Long En said in his heart: "Thank you for your praise. If there is a chance, maybe I can get to know that Emerald Dragon. Your friend is my friend."

"He left the main material world 400 years ago. If he returns to this world in the future, I can introduce him to you. He is also a true dragon. You should be able to chat. Unlike me and him, we stay together He just keeps eating mushrooms from me."

Long En said that the mushrooms on your body taste really good, and they have become agricultural products enjoyed by Black Rock City, and even dried mushrooms are sold to other countries for export trade.

Myconid King Kalapadro paused, as if thinking, and after a few seconds said, "Ah, I remembered my purpose. I found the underground ruins you asked me to pay attention to."
