Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 220: The Spellscale Tribe Comes to Surrender
Ron flew out from inside the guard tower and once again looked down at this magnificent creation.

Under the attack of Long En and the Storm Clan, the Snake Man Empire was able to capture the capital in only half a day. Two of its legendary powerhouses died at the hands of Long En and the siege of the blue dragons respectively.

The royal family of the Snake Man Empire, which had lost the ability to resist, chose to surrender not long after and expressed their surrender to Long and the Storm Clan. The Snake Man surrendered and the rest of the creatures, not to mention, directly put down their weapons and worshiped the powerful true dragon.

There was a lot of chaos in the early days when the Storm Clan took over the Snake Empire. There were many problems with the abandonment or retention of the original territory and the consolidation and stability of the new territory. The Storm Clan was now extremely busy and immediately moved all the tribesmen from the Whirlpool Sea to increase the number of people. Of the manpower, only the ocean dragons and some blue dragons who were to be moved to the Sea of ​​Storms were left, as well as the blue dragon technicians who assisted Lisa Pana in repairing the outpost.

Ron returned to the Whirlpool Sea after leaving the desert of the Serpent Empire, and ordered the sentry tower to switch forms after the Storm Clan completed its migration.

Although most of the components were damaged, the sentry tower successfully completed the form switch. The island where the Storm Clan lived suddenly collapsed with landslides and huge waves.

At this time, the sentry tower no longer looked like an island with lush growth of sedimentary rock and soil plants on the surface. Instead, after the rock layers on the surface fell off, it turned into a steel monster standing in the sea that was so huge that it was daunting and suffocating.

After switching from a guard state that had not changed for tens of thousands of years to a standby state, the sentry tower overall looked like a giant land dragon turtle, with limbs designed for movement, and the head was loaded with a large number of heavy-duty magic guides with huge calibers. Cannon, a columnar main control tower stands in the middle of the high bulging back, and the remaining vacant parts are covered with various magic ray cannons or other types of magic weapons.

The sharp-edged metal body of the sentry tower is entirely black, with a layer of blue painting spray-painted in a conspicuous position, which is the logo of the Rexavik Empire and the war sequence number of the sentry tower.

But tens of thousands of years have passed, both the horrific weapons of war and the glorious imperial emblems and numbers have been rusted by the immersion and erosion of sea water, and a large number of low-level parasitic crustaceans have adhered to them, making the huge The sentry tower looked not only shocking but also a bit desolate.

Crystal Dragon Lisa Panna flew out from another hatch above the body of the sentry tower, and her transparent body reflected an eye-catching brilliance in the bright sunlight.

"The maintenance progress of the outpost tower will not be delayed after you leave, right?" Long En looked at Lisa Pana who was flying near.

"No problem. The dragons selected by the Storm Clan are quite talented in constructs. With the active cooperation of the sentry tower, it is not a problem to do some basic repairs. Without me, the maintenance efficiency will only drop by ten points. one."

Ron nodded slightly, then waved his wings and set off back with Lisa Pana.

Returning to Black Rock City, Long took Lisa Pana directly to find Tubanel, but learned that Tubanel happened to be taking people to the underground ruins to dismantle those ancient machines.

After waiting for two days, Tubanel finally returned, and Long found Lisa Pana taking care of her child on the snowy peaks of the Storm Mountains.

The white dragon cubs hatched from several dragon eggs that Sisula threw to Lisa Pana have now grown into juvenile dragons of about 12 meters. Although they are all white dragons, they were influenced by Lisa Pana when they were young. Education and training, personality can be said to have nothing to do with White Dragon, closer to lawful neutrality.

"Erdos, you go and study magic on your own. Your mother and I have something to do." Long En said to the largest of the several young white dragons.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The young white dragons retreated on their own, and Long En and Lisa Pana flew out. When they flew out of Lisa Pana's palace, they could vaguely hear the whispers of several young white dragons.

Ron had a headache, and he didn't know how Lisa Pana educated these white dragon cubs. They seemed to vaguely regard him as their father.

Ron used to avoid his love for Lisa Pana. Now that he has a clear relationship with Kurelia, it is even less likely that he will have anything to do with Lisa Pana. He can only turn a deaf ear to it and treat it as nothing. I know, Lisa Pana was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth.

Long En and Lisa Pana landed in front of the National Science and Technology Research Center under construction. Tubanel and a group of researchers who had received the news early and were waiting here immediately saluted Long En.

Long En raised his paw: "Get up, how are the machines in the ruins being dismantled?"

Tubaniel replied: "After the ban was lifted, the flow of time in the ruins returned to normal. Many machines that could still maintain operation have been damaged. Only the machines in the center of the ruins near the ban are still relatively intact, but the location of the ban is It was once a residential area and there are not many machines of all kinds left, so we are taking the time to save those machines that are better preserved.”

Long En nodded and said: "Our time is very tight. You must seize the time as much as possible to completely combine magic technology with current technology. I will give you important tasks after the technology research center is completed."

Ron looked to his side: "This is Lisa Pana, your future colleague. She will be the person in charge of that important task."

Tubaniel bowed to Lisapana and said, "Hello, great true dragon."

Although Tubaniel is far more powerful than Lisa Pana, it seems that because of its experience thousands of years ago, it now has special respect for all true dragons.

Lisa Pana looked at Tubanel curiously.

"Are you... a lizard? No, you are an ancient lizard?"

The ancient lizard-man empire that perished ten thousand years ago has long become an unverifiable history for races like humans. Even immortal species such as elves and dwarves seem too insignificant in the face of the span of ten thousand years.

Everything about the ancient lizard people has been forgotten in hundreds or even hundreds of generations of life, and the few remaining records are also collected in the most inconspicuous corners of the oldest libraries of each race. The dragon heritage of the long-lived true dragons also contains some records and knowledge about the creatures who once believed and worshiped them.

The difference between the ancient lizard people and the current subspecies of lizard people is not small, even if Tubanel has been transformed into an undead creature, it can be distinguished.

According to Lisa Pana's inheritance records, the ancient lizard people had long been extinct. She was curious about where Long dug this ten-thousand-year-old creature from the grave.

Tubanel bowed to Lisa Pana again: "According to the parlance of this era, I am indeed an ancient lizard."

Long En said: "We have some clues about the lizard people. My family has captured dozens of troglodytes and found a habitat for the troglodytes. They will be delivered to you in about a month."

Tubanel's obsession with reviving the lizard people is a piece of cake for Long. Finding the descendant subspecies of the ancient lizard people and providing Tubanel with genes to cultivate the ancient lizard people only needs to be left to the people below. Someone will do it for him.

Tubaniel's soul fire swayed and he said to Long: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

A black dragon suddenly flew over, bowed his head to Long En and said, "Your Majesty, a group of magic scales appeared in the capital. They claim to be from the northern land of Runia and want to see you."

"Spellscale?"

Ron was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Floris once said that her tribe was hidden in the forest in the northern land of Runia.

"By the way, where's Floris?" Long En suddenly remembered that since he woke up, he had never seen the slaying magic scale who shouted that love is regardless of race and wanted to have a dragon cub with him.

Several of the researchers had worked with Floris and knew a little about her, and they replied: "Ms. Floris left the kingdom 31 years ago, and I heard that she returned to Runia."

Long En nodded and turned to the black dragon who came to deliver the message: "Tell them that I will meet them at the Executive Yuan."

Spellscales are all natural casters, and their brains are very good. Floris is the best example. If these spellscales can be fooled into working for him, the research and development of magic technology will be accelerated a lot. .

Soon Long En met the representatives of the spell scales in a conference room of the Executive Yuan.

Long, who transformed into a dragonborn, walked into the conference room, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"You came from the northern land of Runia, are you the tribe of Floris?"

"Yes, His Majesty the Great King Dolan."

A magic scale who seemed to be playing the role of a businessman replied respectfully and flatteringly.

Ron nodded and asked again: "Isn't Floris back? How is she now?"

Another spellscale wearing Duolan's now popular clothing showed a touch of sadness on his face: "Ms. Floris has passed away."

"what?"

Ron was a little unbelievable when he heard the news at first, but when he thought about it carefully, the life span of the magic scale was only more than a hundred years.

When he met Floris, she was already a seventh-circle mage. For most creatures, this was an achievement that they could not achieve even in their lifetime.

Although Floris looks young, her actual age must be quite a bit older. In addition, she has been sleeping for nearly 40 years, so it is normal for Floris to run out of life and die.

After being silent for a long time, Long En sighed and tapped the table with his fingertips uninterestedly: "Then what's your purpose here?"

The spell scale who played the businessman just now replied: "When Ms. Floris failed to break through the legend and died, please let us bring her body to Duolan. We are all full of what Ms. Floris said. It opened up endless possibilities and was changing with each passing day, with countless novel and interesting new things. We were very interested in this magical country, so everyone voted to simply move the tribe to Duolan."

Making such a major decision on a whim is really the style of Spellscale.

A magic scale took out a ring and handed it to Long: "This is Ms. Floris's storage ring. According to her last wish, we will put her body in this ring and bring it to your hands."

Ron had seen this ring on Floris's hand. It was found by Floris in the house of the unlucky island owner she killed when they first met in the Thousand Islands Country.

Ron put his spiritual power into the storage ring, and Floris's body lay quietly in it. Her appearance was the same as when she first met Long, but she was surprisingly surprised at such an important time as her own death. Di didn't wear any fancy clothes to commemorate this historic moment. Instead, he wore the attire of a professional elite when he was managing the territory for Long. For a spell scale, this seemed to be a bit unimportant to himself.

The storage ring cannot store living objects, and Floris is indeed dead.

After confirming the fact that Floris was dead, Long sighed with emotion.

Long En, the spell scale who pursued him across species and was abducted to the territory by accident, has never had any emotions about love. However, Floris once suppressed the spell scale's unfettered nature and spent all her efforts. Xinli helped him manage the territory in an orderly manner and helped Long En a lot. Her position in Long En's heart was no longer an ordinary subordinate.

However, this is always the case between short-lived species and long-lived species. The long lifespan makes the long-lived species always witness the end of the lives of many short-lived species.

This is also the reason why the longer-lived Immortals have a more indifferent attitude towards life and death.

If the Immortals cannot make themselves become gradually indifferent, then their lives will be plunged into continuous pain due to the deaths of countless relatives and friends.

Even the kindest and most friendly silver dragon will only smile indifferently when faced with the news of the death of its best human friend, recall the stories between them with emotion, and then wish the deceased friend to be promoted to the world. Enter the Kingdom of God without feeling the slightest sadness.

After all, Long En's soul was once a human being, and it was still difficult to accept the death of such relatives and friends, but he also knew that with his current life span, this kind of separation and death would only become a normal state. He must adapt to this situation and let His mentality became even more indifferent.

"Thank you."

Ron accepted the storage ring, put it on his finger, and then looked at the representatives of these spell scales.

"Flulis' commission has been completed, what are you going to do next?"

A female magic scale's eyes flashed and said: "We heard from Ms. Floris that Duolan has a R&D center and they create interesting new things every day. We want to work in the R&D center!"

It’s rare for a fish to bite the hook before it even makes a nest. It’s rare for a fish to take the initiative and want to work for itself. The last one who was so idle was Floris who wanted to experience being a spokesperson for a real dragon but was tricked into signing a contract. .

Ron smiled: "The R&D center is indeed the same as Floris and you said, but now a new National Science and Technology Research Center has been established. There will only be more novel things in it. I can arrange for you to work there. However, this job requires a lot of professional knowledge and professional training to be competent. We have to sign a contract to prevent anyone from leaking that precious knowledge. Or the Duolan Kingdom spent a lot of time and effort on training and then left directly."

These magic scales immediately became excited when they heard that the National Science and Technology Research Center was more interesting than the R&D center that Floris said. As for the other words that Long said, they were automatically filtered out by their ears.

"This is natural! Your Majesty, please sign a contract and let us work for you!"

With a smile on his face, Long took out a page of the contract, wrote down the terms, and handed it to the eager spellscales.

What kind of exploitation or oppression, he still has to thank us.
