Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 214 Invitation from the Metal Dragon Clan

The true dragon's lair usually stores most of the true dragon's treasures, and as a place where the true dragon sleeps and rests, it is usually equipped with a large number of magic traps, which is extremely dangerous for intruders.

Dragons like Long En, who don't set any magic traps in their nests and just send a few dragon nest guards to guard the entrance of the cave, are considered an outlier among dragons.

Long approached the dormitory door cautiously and cast spell detection and anti-magic traps, but unexpectedly found that there were no magic traps on the door.

Long En looked back at the Imperial Naga behind him, and saw it standing behind him with its head bowed respectfully, without any intention of saying anything.

It seems that there is really no danger in this dormitory, otherwise Emperor Naga should have reminded him.

The opening technique was released and acted on the door without any magic traps or magic circles, but it only caused the dormitory door to tremble slightly for a few seconds.

Ron was a little surprised. With the level of his current legendary mage's ability to open the door, even a steel gate weighing hundreds of tons might be able to open it, but now he can't shake it, which is obviously only a temple door carved out of rock.

Flying closer, Long En dug at the palace door with his dragon claws, but only pulled off a layer of stone skin, revealing the jade door that had been transformed into a jade dragon's nest stone underneath.

The thick aura of the ancient dragon hit his face, and the palace door was almost completely transformed into jade.

The dragon's nest stone has the same spell resistance as a true dragon's scales. The more powerful the dragon's nest stone produced in the true dragon's lair, the more powerful its spell resistance. These dragon's nest stones come from ancient dragons and have extremely strong spell resistance. It's no wonder that Long En's door-opening technique is not very effective.

Ron adjusted his breathing, inserted his claws into the gap of the palace door, took a deep breath, burst out with all the strength in his body, and pushed the palace door forcefully.

The thick stone door made the sound of rock being pushed, and the rumbling sound echoed in the empty palace ruins.

The weight of the palace door transformed into dragon's nest stone is far inferior to that of ordinary rocks. Long En had to add the power of the magnetic field to strengthen the body's amplification in order to really push the palace door open.

But fortunately, there is no need to completely open the palace door. As long as it opens a crack, Long can use the deformation technique to shrink his body and get into it.

Many times, magic is very useful. If it weren't for the teleportation technique that couldn't locate the dormitory that was completely wrapped in the dragon's nest stone, Long En would have directly used the teleportation technique to cross these walls without even using the effort to open the door.

Long En changed and shrank in size, and walked through the gap in the palace door with anticipation and joy. The real dragon's dark vision allowed him to see the ancient blue dragon's nest clearly without lighting, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

"This...how is this empty!?"

Long En fell to the ground in disbelief and walked around the empty dormitory, only to find a few ancient gold coins from the gaps in the jade floor tiles.

"After all this effort, this is the result?"

But thinking about it, the Rexavik Empire eventually perished due to the siege of several giant races. It would be at least a few years before the scattered survivors of the Fengtao clan reunited and came to the capital after the war. Yes, it is normal for the imperial secret treasury to be raided by others during this period.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the dormitory and secret vault, Long En took a deep breath to calm down. At least the pile of dragon nest stones was still there, so it was not a wasted trip.

When he leaves, Long En wants to dig out all the dragon's nest stones here and clear the land for him.

Although the dragon's nest stone has no great effect on Long En after becoming an ancient dragon, for Long En's bunch of five-color dragon relatives, the dragon's nest stone transformed from the rock soaked with the breath of the ancient dragon is a great supplement. Just the fact that it can be used to increase the probability of being promoted to an ancient dragon will make all the true dragons under the ancient dragon flock to it.

Turning around and flying out of the ancient blue dragon's dormitory, Long En said to the Emperor Naga waiting outside the door: "Take me to the place where the empire's information is kept."

When Long asked questions along the way, he had already learned from Emperor Naga that the two major databases that preserved the imperial books when the Rexavik Empire fell were destroyed, but a small number of books were still scattered in the ruins of the capital and were preserved. , has been collected and properly stored by the Nagas over tens of thousands of years. Long En hopes that there will be something he wants in it.

Like a servant, Emperor Naga took Long to the place where the books were kept. Long asked Emperor Naga to stay outside and read through these books with tens of thousands of years of history.

It is said to be a book, but it is actually a kind of magic crystal that can record knowledge. You only need to inject magic power to read the knowledge recorded in it. Only in this way can this knowledge not be damaged after thousands of years, and can be reappeared in Longen. In front of you.

The amount of knowledge in each crystal was so huge that Long could only roughly use his mental power to scan through the titles of various knowledge in the crystal to retrieve the part he wanted.

Ron finally locked down a few crystals that recorded the empire's annals and battle records, but he still couldn't find out why the Rexavik Empire threw the huge armored soldiers that it spent a lot of effort and resources into the Sea of ​​Misty .

Long En sighed as his mental power was withdrawn from the crystal.

The dragon heritage in the Storm Clan knew nothing about this, and the underlying logic and control core of the sentry tower itself had also been inexplicably changed. Now some disturbing changes have taken place in the Sea of ​​Mist, which made Long feel inexplicable in his heart. worries.

Now that there is no relevant information found in the ruins of the Rexavik Empire, Ron decided to chat with the Platinum Dragon God and ask him if he knew about the Rexavik Empire.

Although the Platinum Dragon God is the god of the metal dragon clan, but at the level of the ancient dragons, he will pay more attention to these powerful ancient five-color dragons no matter what, and this involves the Dragon Fall War. The Platinum Dragon God understands the secret behind all this The possibility is not low.

After Long walked out of the palace where these books were stored, he accepted these remnants of the Rexavik Empire as his own at the request of Emperor Naga.

Easily acquiring hundreds of thousands of Naga dependents is a major event worthy of attention for Long. These Nagas are all natural warriors and warlocks, and forming an organized army will be very terrifying.

Moreover, this is a special warfare navy that can march under the sea. It can attack the enemy from any coastal area of ​​the mainland.

Originally, Ron planned to nibble away at the intelligent races in the Sea of ​​Storms step by step, but now with the Fengtao Clan, Ron can directly extend the kingdom's territory to the Sea of ​​Storms, and other deep-sea intelligent races will also be conquered by the Fengtao Clan. I surrendered to Long En.

Having gained the allegiance of the Windtao Clan, there was no use in wanting Tleilala for the time being, so he simply asked her to return to the Mermaid Trench to raise her baby in peace.

The evil nature of the snake dragon makes it impossible for Ron to place her here in the Fengtao clan, and it is impossible to bring her back to Duolan, and the trench is safe enough, and there are mermaids who can kill her for fun. The best place to put her.

After Tleilala was settled and the Windtao clan held a grand ceremony to declare Long En as their master, Long En set off to return to Dulan.

He doesn't need to worry about the connection between the Fengtao clan and the territory. Someone will naturally take care of it all.

After passing through the violent storms of the Storm Sea and across the Storm Mountains, Long, who had just returned to his territory, suddenly received a communication spell. The aura contained in the light spot of the communication spell showed that the caster was Luthronis, the Pure Silver Eye.

Touching the light spot lightly, Lutheronis' voice sounded in Ron's mind.

"Lon, His Majesty Bahamut should have also sent you an oracle. Once the abyss comes, this world will surely be destroyed. The drow elves' conspiracy must be crushed. The metal dragons are coming to follow the oracle and will be in Silver Gather on the islands where the Wing Clan lives.”

"His Majesty Bahamut gave an order in the oracle to let the Silver Wing Clan cooperate with the kingdom you established. Several old guys in the Metal Dragon Clan are very interested in you and want to meet you. If you are willing, you can come to the Silver Wing Clan. One trip, by the way, bring Leah back, her mother is very worried about her."

Luthronis's voice gradually disappeared in his mind, and Ron raised his eyebrows. "Is this an invitation on behalf of the entire Metal Dragon Clan?"

The existence that Luthronis calls "the old guy" is at least a powerful metal dragon at the ancient dragon level. The relationship between the metal dragons at this level and the platinum dragon god is bound to be relatively close. How much does it mean to Long En, the favored one of the blue dragon god? It will also be heard.

This time the Metal Dragons gathered together, and they took the initiative to invite themselves to show goodwill to themselves. After Long En thought about it for a while, he decided to go to the territory of the Silver Dragons. It would not hurt him to get to know the old guys more.

The only thing that made Ron a little uneasy was that Lutheronis asked him to take Curelia back with him.

Although Ron's current strength is estimated to be able to beat the Luceronis and his wife, he still feels a little guilty when facing his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, although Kurelia's body has developed well, she is still a few years away from adulthood. decades.

As a pig that favors other people's cabbages, but is still a cabbage seedling, Long En's guilt is not the slightest bit.

After using the communication technique to reply that he would accept the invitation, Long returned directly to Blackstone City and found Kurelia who was busy with government affairs.

Ron opened the door and saw Kurelia, who had transformed into a human form, slumped on a comfortable velvet lounge chair and pressing her temples. This was a sign of excessive mental consumption.

Dozens of various documents were floating around Kurelia, and there was the constant rustle of pens signing on paper.

In order to prevent corruption in the administrative system, Long En, in addition to setting up an inspection office, also deliberately consolidated the power of each department as much as possible and vigorously developed centralization to reduce the room for administrative corruption in each department.

For human beings, centralization of power can easily lead to the corruption of the top leader, and then the entire administrative system will be corrupted from top to bottom. Even if a wise and capable king emerges, his life span will only be a few hundred years, and he will still avoid it after his death. cannot prevent the kingdom from decaying.

But this is not a problem for a country ruled by true dragons.

Long En can live for at least a thousand years. While he is still alive, no one can take control of the entire kingdom from him. He can guarantee that the kingdom will not be corrupted during his thousand years of reign, even if Yes, he will forcefully suppress the signs of corruption in advance.

But this leads to another problem. The head of the central government has too much power and controls too far, so the affairs to be dealt with become extremely heavy.

Long En only sets the general direction to ensure that the development of the kingdom will not go astray, and then he can nest comfortably in the dragon's nest and still have time to run around.

It's just that Curelia, who was pulled by him to be the consul, lived the ultimate social animal life of [-] before she was an adult.

Originally, it was okay when the territory was small and there were only a few things to manage. But now the area of ​​the territory has expanded dozens of times and it is developing so fast. It has become a big problem to deal with the kingdom affairs submitted by various departments.

Kurelia, who is essentially a silver dragon, feels that she can't stand it any longer. If another creature had stayed in this position, she would have died of overwork long ago.

Long opened the door without making much sound, but with the keenness of a true dragon, she shouldn't be able to detect it. Kurelia's lack of response can only mean that she is mentally exhausted to the point where it is difficult to perceive the surrounding environment.

Seeing Kurelia working so hard, Long En couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

"dong dong"

After transforming into a dragonborn, Long En knocked on the door, but Kurelia didn't even open her eyes.

"Put the documents on the table. Don't stack them with other departments. You can leave."

Ron smiled helplessly: "It's me."

"Lon!"

Curelia's face was first surprised, and then turned into resentment.

"What are you doing in the Executive Yuan? Have you finally remembered that you are the king of Dulan?"

Ron stepped forward, hugged Kurelia apologetically and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The resentment on Curelia's face softened instantly.

Ron, who was hugging Kurelia, took out a necklace made of star diamonds from the storage ring and put it on Kurelia.

This is a treasure collected from Kel clone. It can stimulate the wearer's potential, but it has no effect on Long, who has become an ancient dragon.

The shiny and expensive star diamond necklace instantly attracted Kurelia's attention. The female true dragon who loved beauty and money couldn't resist such a gift at all.

"suitable for you."

Ron looked at Curelia affectionately, but Curelia said: "Bribing the consul is punishable by hanging according to the kingdom's law, and the sentence is shared by immediate family members within three generations."

Long En laughed and said: "Has this law ever been used? No one has really tried to bribe you, right?"

Bribing a kind and righteous silver dragon is unthinkable.

"Greed sometimes makes you wise, but sometimes it makes you stupid. This law was enforced twice during the time you were asleep."

Long En said: "I don't have direct relatives, but I do have a spouse. If we want to be executed, let's hang us together."

Kurelia snorted: "Who is your spouse? I don't want to go to the gallows."

Long En raised the corners of his mouth: "I didn't say that my spouse was you, you said it yourself."

Curelia immediately smashed her fist on Ron's chest in embarrassment.

After laughing and joking for a while to let Kurelia relax, Long gathered the metal dragons and told him about the invitation.

"Take a good rest for a few days, and we will set off once someone is arranged to temporarily take over your job."
