Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 807 A Friend I've Never Met

The essence of Floating Cloud Dragon is similar to that of Lowry.

They are all homebodies who can sit still for long periods of time.

Moreover, the food sources are quite consistent.

Normally, all you have to do is contribute a little bit of resources and then wait for the food to be delivered to your door automatically.

Lowry uses money to order takeout, while Floating Cloud Dragon uses magic to summon wind and rain.

If I get a craving, I'll go to a fixed place that I consider absolutely safe to eat.

For example, those long-established dine-in restaurants like Lowry's.

For example, the high mountain silver mine in Fuyunlong.

It's not like they do nothing. After all, the cloud they live on was carefully crafted by the Floating Cloud Dragon, and they are constantly learning from the experience and knowledge of their predecessors, experiencing the wind, flowers, snow, and night to strengthen the protection of the cloud island and expand its area... In the Primordial Era, the Floating Cloud Dragon and the cloud island could enter the astral plane and cross countless worlds.

From the moment they ascended into the sky and began weaving the first cloud with magic, the Cloud Dragons would never again change their home.

If a major problem arises that requires immediate escape, they can take a few minutes to retrieve Cloud Island back into their mental sea and then flee immediately.

Home is something I will definitely not abandon.

Lowry had always envied Floating Cloud Dragon.

If he could build a magic tower based on Magic Cloud Island and then equip it with the upper plane, it would be virtually flawless.

Unfortunately, only Floating Cloud Dragon can do this.

That was something the Floating Cloud Dragon gained by sacrificing its own attack power.

It's not that they lack combat power. Being able to transform into clouds and mist, control celestial phenomena, and summon lightning, their combat power is certainly not bad.

However, their bodies have no offensive capabilities and they are not good at using their claws and tails.

Aside from fairy dragons, other magic dragons are also more accustomed to using magic attacks, but that doesn't mean their minions are too weak to be used.

The so-called inferiority of those magical dragons only refers to the giant dragons that excel in melee combat, whose strength and physique are both above 30, while they can only reach 20 at most.

However, Fuyunlong's physique could barely reach 20, and his strength was only 16.

Only after the Ancient Dragon era can one barely reach level 20 through some means.

However, anyone who actually thinks that the weak Floating Cloud Dragon can be restrained by methods like Demon Binding is truly foolish.

The process of trapping demons cannot be one-way; it must involve a certain area being completely rendered magic-free.

However, the ability of the Floating Cloud Dragon to transform into clouds and mist is an innate talent that can be activated without any magical power.

The Floating Cloud Dragon, which transforms into mist and merges with the clouds in the sky, cannot be separated unless one's intelligence is at least 10 points higher than his.

The Cloud Dragon, which sacrifices its physical attack methods, is born with a higher intelligence than other dragons and can reach 20 upon adulthood.

Most importantly, trying to temporarily stop the trapping magic and lure him out will only result in lightning and thunder, and a violent storm... attacks launched directly from the clouds.

However, the Floating Cloud Dragon itself may have quickly moved to another cloud layer immediately after the spell was cast.

Turning into clouds doesn't mean he can't fly anymore.

Therefore, only a small number of Floating Cloud Dragons were unlucky enough to perish unexpectedly during their travels in the Astral Plane; the rest were all powerful beings who died of old age and officially entered the Dragon Sleep stage.

So what Lowry is watching now is the story of the most unlucky of the unlucky, the story of Gu Long Zacharias.

For some reason, after learning that he had been parasitized by Uranus, Lori suddenly felt that he might also possess the innate spell of the Cloud Dragon, which weaves cloud islands.

So, Lowry focused intently, immersing himself completely in the image of the ambitious little dragon striving to soar into the clouds, preparing to embark on its bright future.

Although Zakarias' mother treated him fairly well, once he came of age, the woman couldn't wait to throw him out.

Moreover, in order to prevent Zacharias from flying back to find her, this dragon lady opened a random dimensional portal and threw him in.

Of course, the woman should have had a general idea in mind, otherwise Zacharias wouldn't have appeared on the summit of an uninhabited mountain range higher than the clouds.

He even has enough time to mourn the wonderful times he can never get back, when he could wake up and eat, eat and sleep, and drink the purest dew when he looked up.

He inhaled and exhaled clouds and mist, commanded rain and snow, cautiously probing and slowly accumulating clouds large enough to contain his weight... Zacharias spent the first hundred years of his adult life in this extremely monotonous work.

He was happy watching his home slowly take shape.

But Lowry only vaguely felt a bit of fun when he was leaping, spinning, spiraling towards the towering mountains, and rapidly turning into clouds just before crashing into the peaks.

He now seemed to understand a little why the Nine-Headed Dragon God Aio had no hope for these earliest dragons.

Although metal dragons and chromatic dragons can also enjoy a solitary life, their so-called solitude is by no means about consciously squatting in their own dens, weaving and farming.

Io, having worked so hard to create the most powerful material beings in the multiverse, how could it possibly watch them all retreat to the countryside?

This is a genuine retreat, not the Aotian Residence where countless enemies rushed in to deliver their heads after only two days!

Io would definitely like that kind of thing.

After reading the 100-year history of knitting, Lowry felt as if her mental energy had slowed down.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

For decades, he has actually been under a lot of stress and has never been able to relax completely.

Even though I've seen the memories of other dragons, none of them would have been this patient. Especially those dragons who had just come of age and were kicked out by their mothers to live independently; they were living quite exciting lives.

Even if they know in their hearts that their strength is not enough to compete for gold and silver, they will still work hard to improve their combat ability, hunt prey, or simply find a place to mine.

Magical dragons would definitely love sparkly things too!

A dragon like the Floating Cloud Dragon, which only ventures out twice in a hundred years, and even then, only to dig up a few pieces of silver in uninhabited areas to satisfy its cravings, is truly...

If it weren't for her strong willpower to learn the Cloud Weaving Technique, Lowry would have fallen asleep!

Lowry had assumed that Zacharias would go out for a stroll once he entered his prime.

As a result, another two hundred years passed.

Hmm... He'll never call himself a homebody again!

Lowry finally broke through his defenses.

Three hundred years!

How can a dragon painstakingly weave its way on a cloud for three hundred years?

At this time, Zakarias had entered his old age.

This is indeed the dragon's most powerful period, but if he cannot break through his first cognitive barrier, then Zacharias's future may be stuck at the extremely old age of eight hundred years.

But he hasn't even gotten to know the whole world yet.

Right there on those towering, majestic mountains... What's terrifying is that he still lived alone, separated from his family, without even a dragon to exchange a few words with.

Fortunately, Zakarias still went out.

Before leaving, he carefully reviewed the Floating Cloud Dragon's combat spells.

For example, one could first hide in the clouds, then change the weather to a thunderstorm, then cast an illusion, and finally use a lightning-summoning spell.

At the same time, you must remember to control the wind direction at all times, and never put yourself in a dangerous situation that you cannot avoid.

Lowry watched Zacharias practice again and again until he could smoothly turn the wind element into his permanent buff, and release that set of standard tactics immediately in any situation.

Lowry, on the contrary, could understand this very well.

What he didn't understand was why he could have done nothing for the previous four hundred years.

But Zacharias still went out anyway.

During the first century, Zacharias passed through many prosperous and desolate places, and witnessed the killing and fighting between different races, but he had no intention of flying down.

However, even with his extreme caution, he was still discovered by some sharp-eyed experts.

As a notorious pauper among the dragons, the Cloud Dragon is not welcomed by other dragons who like to rob the rich to help the poor.

But humans, especially mages, really like it... it is a resource in itself.

After Floating Cloud Dragon dies, although his cloud island will also collapse and eventually vanish, it will be a gradual process.

If a great alchemist could be found during this period, a portion of the cloud island could be fixed in place and made into a component of the levitation device.

Even those floating cities that use Miser cores would want a large enough floating cloud island.

That would be enough to reduce their energy consumption significantly!

They can fire more cannons than others in battle.

If it's a large magic ship, it can stay in place without losing any energy.

However, the Floating Cloud Dragon is extremely good at dodging, and few people can encounter it. If it is spotted, it will immediately leave the spot.

Moreover, even if they do crash, it's not easy to get caught.

In his old age, Zacharias possessed combat prowess comparable to a legendary archmage. Although he was somewhat unbalanced in his specialties, he was still not someone that just anyone could defeat.

He quickly drew blood.

Zacharias initially viewed his enemies with nothing but contempt.

He only killed the strongest enemy; the rest of the underlings who hadn't even laid a hand on him were simply driven away.

But he didn't expect that what he had ignored would spread his information all over the world and make people think of his kindness as his greatest weakness.

However, the floating dragon is a purely neutral creature.

They can be tolerant, but once provoked, they will show no mercy.

Soon, Zacharias became a ruthless dragon who left no one alive.

Of course, this is no problem for the floating dragon.

It took another four hundred years for Zacharias to finally understand what his predecessors had tried to imprint into his mind, and he began to turn and fly home.

He has reached the very old age and has found the way to enter the Ancient Dragon stage. It is time for him to undergo a deep sleep to be reborn... completely shedding his previous dragon scales, and having everything from his flesh and blood to his skin completely renewed.

Before that, although he had similar behaviors, it was essentially just a change of scales.

Zacharias was filled with anticipation, and even the pristine cloud island was tinged with the glow of dawn.
