Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 102 The Gate of Truth, The Earth Dragon's Shock and Decision (13)

after one day.

"Finally back!"

When Lin Ke returned, there were three unfamiliar figures beside him.

A seventh-tier water-type butterfly bird with a wingspan of about fifteen meters.

A seventh-tier triangular sheep monster, five meters tall at the shoulder and twenty-one meters long.

A Tier 5 Earth-type wyvern, yes, it's the little guy Lin Ke knew before, the Rock and Earth Dragon Vittorio.

These so-called seventh-tier creatures were completely outclassed by the size of the Lin Ke Rock Steel Dragon in terms of appearance and physique.

These two seventh-tier dragons are really no match for the dragon race.

But in terms of strength, being a seventh-tier rank, it is definitely not weak.

Moreover, strength is not solely determined by physical size, at least not for races other than dragons.

"Wow, that's wonderful!"

"I can finally go out and play by myself! My father wouldn't let me before!"

"Nidhogg, how did you convince Father Dragon?"

"Besides, I see Crimson is here too. She seems to care about you a lot. By the way, Nidhogg, what bloodline are you, a sub-dragon?"

When the little dragon Vittorio returned, Linko had already finished negotiating with both dragons.

So, apart from this guy, almost all the other dragons knew about Lin Ke, but he was the only one who didn't.

Lin Ke simply smiled at this.

"You can't just talk about your bloodline outside. Anyway, you know my bloodline is very strong, otherwise, do you think I would have brought you out here?"

"Amos allowed me to bring back a sub-dragon so that I could better understand the current situation of the dragon species. Therefore, I feel that I like you more than your brothers and sisters, so I chose you, didn't I?"

Linco spoke to Vittorio in the same way he would to coax a child, and Vittorio's eyes lit up immediately.

"Choosing me is definitely the right choice! I'm super smart!"

"Don't let my age fool you, I'm only a little over six hundred years old, but I know a lot."

“Nidhogg, don’t let my older brothers and sisters fool you. They certainly don’t know as much as I do. I’m most curious about the world inside and outside the mountains. My father tells me everything I ask, hmph.”

Over six hundred years old? Fifth rank? Still young?

Lin Ke didn't know what to say.

Indeed, there is a significant difference in how long-lived and short-lived species perceive and understand time.

For long-lived species, three to five days might not even be enough time for them to yawn and take a nap, but for humans, three to five days is quite important.

It's not hard to understand why this little guy is over 600 years old and at the fifth level.

Turtles are sub-dragons that live longer than other sub-dragons, which indirectly means they grow much slower.

Putting everything else aside, if Lin Ke didn't have the system's cheat code, it's hard to say whether he could even reach the third tier if he were to consume magic crystals every day.

Longevity is an advantage, but it also has its disadvantages.

No life can be without any shortcomings, otherwise how would other races survive?
That's perfect. Let's not call them mortals, let's just call them gods.

Dragons are indeed very strong, and some dragons can even grow rapidly, but their birth rate is extremely low.

At its peak, according to Amos, the mountain dragon, there were only about a thousand adult dragons, mostly young and teenage dragons, and perhaps more than ten thousand including baby dragons.

Although it may seem like a small amount?

But don't forget, a thousand adult dragons also mean a thousand Saint-level beings.

The combined number of Saint-ranked beings from all other races on the entire continent of Auckland doesn't even reach half of this level.

If dragons didn't have such a low birth rate, there would be no other races to live in.

Even if the dragons don't want to rule the continent, once they have too many mouths, they have no choice but to rule.

The most common are the dragons and dragonborn.

Unfortunately, the strength of the dragons and dragonborn varies greatly.

Moreover, most dragons and dragonborn have their own affiliated race.

Just like the dragonborn nobles among humans, the dragonborn orcs among orcs, and the sea elves, etc.

These dragon descendants are also an indispensable and powerful force for all ethnic groups on the Auckland continent.

Everyone has their own racial identity, although they also identify with the dragon family.

However, most of these dragon species acknowledge the noble status of the dragon race, but do not enforce or adhere to the dragon code.

After all, racial conflicts have always existed, and incidents like human dragonborn killing elven dragonborn are quite common.

If everyone accepted the Dragon Code, wouldn't they just commit suicide on the spot?
Perhaps the dragon race didn't have high expectations for the dragonborn from the start.

Therefore, the dragons do not impose any strict rules on non-pure-blooded dragon races.

Furthermore, pureblood is the noblest bloodline among dragons. Sub-dragons and dragon descendants are essentially illegitimate children, so it's no wonder that dragons would not recognize them.

Therefore, from this perspective, no matter what, although the dragons did not rule the continent of Auckland, their influence was absolutely undeniable.

So what should I do next?

Lin Ke was having a bit of a headache.

The beast tide is currently in full swing.

Having just acknowledged his dragon identity, he couldn't very well say he pitied the plight of humans and told them to stop, could he?
how is this possible.

The beast tide is something that two sub-dragons can't decide.

There must be a Saint-level magical beast involved behind this.

Even if I claimed to be a dragon, let alone a dragon, it wouldn't make any difference. After all, I don't possess the power of a dragon god; saying so would just be asking to be slaughtered.

So, is it possible to take advantage of the situation now?
In the current beast tide, vast territories have been breached, and countless slaves and civilians will become prey for the monsters.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to let the swamp territory have its way.

The real problem is figuring out how to explain it to the outside world afterwards.

The Swamp Territory could easily explain itself by using the methods of the Church of Truth and the so-called divine favor.

But you say you can command magical beasts?

That's just nonsense!
Do you really think the gods are so harmonious? Even Warcraft pays homage to the God of Truth?
If Warcraft really bought into it, wouldn't the entire wasteland now be Eagle Kingdom's territory?

However, Lin Ke was absolutely unwilling to give up such a risk-free business opportunity.

So, after much deliberation, Lin Ke made his final decision.

It's done!

Having figured this out, Linko immediately grasped the magic crystal he had just received from the mountain dragon.

"Nidhogg? What happened? Or have you received some new divine decree?"

The urgent voice of the Mountain Dragon came from the crystal.

Lin Ke, however, said:
"Grandpa, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought that perhaps I could also carry out the divine decree during the beast tide, so I thought I'd like to discuss it with you."

"Oh? How do you put it into practice? Why don't you tell me?"

Lin Ke immediately began his rambling explanation.

Lin Ke's idea was very simple.

That is, since Amos is in charge of the beast tide in the Eagle Kingdom.

So, could we arrange for some trustworthy, loyal magical beasts to help Linko capture a group of civilians and slaves?

Send all the captured civilians and slaves to the wasteland, without having to go through the swamp territory.

Then, Linko could use these slaves and commoners to promote the belief in the Dragon God.

Amos responded that it was a minor matter and nothing serious.

However, he also raised his own doubts.

"It's not easy to explain the appearance of a large number of humans in the wasteland. What are your plans?"

At this point, Lin Ke stopped hiding his secrets and immediately revealed that, with the help of a divine oracle, he had opened a portal to an unknown world underground in the wasteland.

This statement came out.

Amos was rendered speechless!
finally.

"Oh, you silly child, why didn't you say something so important sooner!"

"But I can understand your concerns. It's never a bad thing to be cautious, especially since this is a matter of great importance."

"So, child, tell me, have you ever been to the world on the other side of the door? What's it like there?"

"Also, how big is that door? Am I even big enough to get through?"

Clearly, Amos was now excited, and questions came one after another.

Lin Ke patiently explained this to Lin Ke.

"The door isn't very big now, just big enough for someone my size to get through."

“My strength has just improved recently, and the divine oracle has guided me to widen that door further this time. However, given your physique, I doubt you can get through right now.”

"However, I believe that as long as my strength improves further, that door will soon be able to accommodate your size, sir."

"In addition, I only briefly checked the situation on the other side of the door before."

Lin Ke also recounted the environment opposite the gate, as well as the previous encounters with the human and troll legions.

After Linco finished speaking, Amos's voice immediately became serious again!
"Okay, child, I understand the situation!"

"I will try my best to capture the humans you need! But they can't come from the open air; they must come from underground."

"After discussing it with Crimson, I will order a group of earth-attribute magical beasts to help you dig a tunnel from the wasteland to a more secluded location, and then transport these humans from there to the other side of the world."

"However, this matter must be kept as secret as possible from beginning to end. You should not even tell the humans in the Church of Truth. Even if you need to manage those slaves, you should only use the human you have blood-sworn with."

"In addition, we will also send some trustworthy children and low- to mid-level magical beasts over. The number cannot be too large, otherwise we will not be able to hide it from those old guys in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but it cannot be too small either."

"In short, this matter is extremely important! And it's also incredibly shocking!"

"If the nations of humanity and other races found out, who knows what kind of uproar and conflict it would cause!"

At this point, the mountain dragon Amos was clearly still somewhat worried and annoyed.

"We're not strong enough! The key issue is still our lack of strength."

"This matter must not be known to any more living beings! It is both a great blessing and a great calamity!"

"I just don't know if we can find any news about our dragon race in that world."

"However, in the old man's opinion, this possibility is extremely low. Otherwise, the dragons would have contacted you, child, long ago, and they might even have returned to our world!"

However, when talking about this, Amos's voice was filled with unprecedented excitement and hearty laughter.

"The portal, another world. As the portals are opened, perhaps we will eventually find the dragons! And perhaps this is the reason for the divine guidance."

"But no matter what, we must take it one step at a time, child. We can't rush things! Nothing can be rushed, but a good start is always a blessing!"

"After so many years, we have finally found a way and news about our clan!"

"Great! That's wonderful!"
