Chapter 610 We Want a Dragon Feast

a long long time ago.

The Kingdom of Warriors highly reveres dragon-slaying heroes.

Those who dared to challenge the dragon and successfully slay it were all the bravest warriors, worthy of being composing poems for bards to sing their praises for generations to come.

Therefore, in the ancient traditions of the Warrior Kingdom, the most sincere blessings and the greatest honors are bestowed upon the dragon-slaying warriors.

Regardless of gender, anyone who slays a dragon will surely receive a thumbs-up and a comment upon meeting them:
"God among gods!"

But much, much later.

The official propaganda of the Warrior Kingdom has gradually downplayed the role of the dragon-slaying warrior.

The main reason is that the dragons moved into the Warrior Kingdom, and the two races got along very well.

If there were no harmony, the profession of Dragon Knight would never have been born on the human side, right?
By this time, the dragon race had become an integral part of the warrior kingdom. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to keep promoting dragon-slaying heroes and how they chopped off dragon horns, skinned dragons, and bathed in dragon blood.

So the dragon-slaying heroes were gradually sidelined.

However, the officials of the Warrior Kingdom are overthinking this, because even if they promote dragon-slaying heroes, the dragons have never cared.

However, to avoid suspicion, it's always better to be on the safe side.

In addition, the vast majority of dragons within the Warrior Kingdom are under control and abide by the law. Only a very small number will run away and wreak havoc, and even then, they are unlikely to dare to run wild in the Warrior Kingdom. Therefore, the chances of dragon-slaying warriors appearing are relatively few.

This name thus became a legendary profession that only appeared in ancient nursery rhymes and the poems of bards.

however!
The appearance of the Mad Dragon has brought this name back into the public eye.

Even if we kill this evil dragon, it won't be a problem. It will absolutely not affect racial unity, nor will it involve racial discrimination!

People who had heard stories of dragon-slaying heroes since childhood were eager to try it out and flocked to challenge the mad dragon.

Then, in less than two months, the number of challengers was halved.

Six months later, there were very few challengers left.

A year later, only the royal family's expeditionary force was willing to take on the mission of defeating the mad dragon.

Even if everyone wants to be a dragon slayer, there's no need to challenge an impossible goal in order to achieve that goal.

And so, the dragon-slaying warrior fell silent once again, until now.

"You mean there's a ritual called Dragon Feast in the Sien Dungeon that not only allows you to obtain the heart of the dragon you kill, but also grants you the dragon's power after eating it?"

Late at night, in a place frequented by middle-aged and young people, someone uttered these words in disbelief.

"It feels like he's a real dragon-slaying hero from a legend!"

"But the dragon-slaying warriors in the legends became stronger by bathing in dragon blood, which is different from the dragon warriors in the Sien Dungeon."

"This difference is nothing! We're lucky if we even have it!"

A person who looked intelligent confidently said:

"Since the dragon warriors in the Sien Dungeon gain power by consuming dragon hearts, doesn't that mean that all the dragon slayers of ancient times came to be this way? That's the orthodox way!"

Someone suddenly realized and chimed in:

"Bathing in dragon blood is just a legend. Some scholars have even conducted experiments, and found that bathing in dragon blood doesn't make humans stronger. Instead, it can cause strange illnesses and even parasites. I always thought it was because the dragon bloodline here was impure or because our constitution was different from that of the ancients. Turns out, it was because the method was wrong!"

The seemingly intelligent man immediately slammed his hand on the table, pointed at those who echoed him, and laughed loudly, saying:

"That's right, that's exactly it! Eating the dragon's heart is the best way! So, as clever as you are, do you know what we should do next?"

The people present had already been drawn to their discussion, and when he shouted those words at an extremely loud voice, everyone turned to look at him.

"I, I know!"

The man said excitedly:

"It's time to enter the Sien Dungeon and slay the dragon!"

"That's right! As long as we kill the dragon, we can all become dragon warriors. What are we waiting for? Let's take action!"

The shrewd-looking man slammed his fist on the table again, like a judge delivering a final verdict, then flung open his coat, revealing a pocket bulging with pamphlets, and exclaimed passionately:

"I happen to have the latest guide to the Sien Dungeon—a special version specifically for the dragon Akiel. If you buy it, you're guaranteed to defeat Akiel. If you can't, I'll give you your money back!" This statement ignited the crowd's passion, and everyone pulled out their coins.

"Give me one!" "Me too! Me too!" "Give me ten!"

"Okay, thank you for your patronage~"

Berto, a member of the Skyward Strategy Team with a shrewd look on his face, accepted one silver coin after another, grinning from ear to ear as he watched the bustling scene before him.

Originally, the SkyCraft Strategy Team planned to release a strategy guide for the entire Nymgford region, compiling the entire region's strategy into a booklet for a total of five silver coins. However, ever since the news of the Great Dragon Church spread, both adventurers and non-adventurers have shown a great demand for information related to the dragon Agil.

So they tried taking a small section about the dragon Agil from the original strategy guide, expanding it, and selling it separately, still priced at five silver coins.

As a result, it sold out.

This is great! Not only are there fewer strategy guides sold, but we can keep them to sell later, and we earn even more money. It's the best thing in the world!

However, it's not just Skyward Strategy Group that's selling information about the Warrior Kingdom; all sorts of information brokers, big and small, are trying to ride this wave of popularity. Skyward Strategy Group is essentially fighting on foreign soil.

So even with better strategies, Bertol and the other members still had to go out and do sales to increase volume.

Everyone's got plenty of money these days, and making their strategy guides sell even better has become the ultimate goal for the SkyCraft strategy guide team, and it's become performance art.

No matter how much national and racial unity is emphasized, people naturally admire dragon slayers.

Therefore, the news of the Dragon Feast spread like wildfire throughout the Warrior Kingdom at an astonishing speed after it was released.

If the Thirty Heroes of Glory Dungeon are the childhood memories of the people of the Warrior Kingdom, then the Dragon Warrior, the replica of the dragon slayer from the Sien Dungeon, is probably the mythical legend of the people of the Warrior Kingdom. It's hard to say which one holds a higher place in people's hearts.

But it was just as popular.

Blackrock City has begun expansion plans, but since the appearance of the Dragon Feast, these expanded buildings still cannot meet the ever-increasing number of people arriving.

People flocked to the Sien Dungeon in no time.

Their target is the dragon Agil!

Those who came to the Sien Dungeon for the first time headed straight to Lake Agil as soon as the opening event ended, following the guide. Some ambitious ones even dared to go to Lake Lienia to fight the Shining Stone Dragon.

Now, a nationwide craze for slaying dragons is slowly unfolding.

The dragon Akir has already secured the title of the elite monster with the most deaths this year.

While the Dragon Feast was gaining popularity, the release of a video also drew attention to another area related to dragons.

Forest area.

The video showed the scene of Prince Lanle, the second prince of the Warrior Kingdom, leading his five-man hunting party to hunt down the dragon Agil and successfully capture it.

The entire dragon hunt was thrilling and highly entertaining, and the hunters' skill level was impressive. In addition, Lanler's identity itself was a topic of interest, naturally attracting a lot of attention.

At the end of the video, Lanler swallowed the dragon's heart to perform the Dragon Feast, enduring excruciating pain and silently learning to pray [Dragon Claw]. When that enormous claw, undoubtedly belonging to the dragon, appeared in the video, the benefits of the Dragon Feast were tangibly visualized.

People who were initially hesitant decided to go dragon hunting after seeing the video, while others wondered why Lanler, who had only ever shown his magical abilities, could also handle melee weapons so well.

And what exactly are those strange-looking weapons he and his bodyguards are carrying?
All of this points to the forest area.

"Lanler was able to transform from a pure mage into a katana master in such a short time, it must be because of the forest region!" Such comments spread.

If even a prince who is rumored to have little strength can benefit from the forest region and become a dragon warrior, then we certainly can too!

With this mindset, those who lacked the strength to hunt Agil went to the forest region in search of a way to hunt dragons.

For a time, the forest area and Lake Yaquil became popular topics.

The reformists' views on this phenomenon are currently unknown, but it is known that they are deeply wary of the Sien Dungeon these days.

But the traditionalists, especially Temud, have been laughing so hard they can't sleep these past few days.

He saw a revival of the warrior spirit in these people who were going to hunt dragons with great enthusiasm, and in his eyes, the warrior kingdom was thriving again.

All of this is thanks to the emergence of the Sien Dungeon!

"It doesn't seem like relying on this underground city is a bad thing after all. What was I thinking before?"

Lying in bed gazing at the skylight, Temud's lips remained trembling for a long time.
