Chapter 87 The True Use of the Dragon-Slaying Fruit
If one were to choose the race most loyal to the five dragons, aside from the dragonborn they created, it would undoubtedly be the kobolds.
These agile creatures with bony bodies and small tails firmly believed that the blood of true dragons flowed in their veins, and that their ancestors were born from the blood of Tiamat.
That is why they worship all true dragons from the bottom of their hearts. If they could live and mine peacefully under the protection of a certain true dragon, that would be the most pleasant life in their dreams.
If the dragon happens to be a red dragon, that would be even better—because although the kobolds claim to have dragon blood flowing through their veins, they are actually genuine cold-blooded animals.
They can absorb heat from their surroundings. After living in an environment with a temperature above 40 degrees Celsius for 24 hours, they can reduce their food intake for the next three days; while when the ambient temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, their food intake will double.
When Thor crashed to the ground with a whooshing sound, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, and the kobolds immediately knelt down.
The dragon's language, interspersed with the barking of dogs, rang out continuously, filled with praise for him and a desire to be taken in.
A series of insightful prompts kept appearing below his line of sight. Although each one only increased the number by 0.1, it was enough to prove the loyalty of these creatures to him.
Thor stared at the kobolds before him, finding it hard to believe that these creatures, less than a meter tall and appearing slender and agile, were actually excellent tunnel diggers comparable to dwarves.
They seem to have an innate ability to sense the location of minerals and water sources, and can intuitively distinguish the hardness of rock layers and soil, knowing how to dig quickly without causing collapse.
This is indeed somewhat useful to me; it can be used to expand my nest, and I can also use it as a servant on a regular basis.
Moreover, judging from their loyal and fervent expressions, each one must provide me with 0.1 essence fragments every day. Over time, this adds up to a considerable source of income.
Thor, naturally, accepted this opportunity that offered him all the benefits, and immediately let out a deep growl.
"You insignificant kobolds, you've come to us of some intelligence."
For this reason, I have taken great mercy and allowed you to live under the protection of the red dragon's wings!
Upon hearing this, the group of kobolds lying at his feet immediately began to bark excitedly.
Meanwhile, the jackals who had previously confronted them now had expressions of disappointment on their faces.
They can still distinguish between being the only familiar race of a red dragon and being one of its familiar races.
The kobolds' defection would undoubtedly diminish their standing in the red dragon's eyes, and they might even face the risk of being abandoned. A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
But Thor paid no heed to their little schemes and immediately gave work orders to the newly subdued kobolds.
"Since you want my protection, you must demonstrate your worth. Do you see that cave in the cliff? Now go and carve it out to be bigger, more magnificent, and more comfortable."
The dog-headed men, lying prostrate on the ground, responded loudly, each one rubbing their hands together, looking as if they were determined to perfectly carry out the Dragon Lord's command.
The next second, they got up from the ground, carrying the simple tools on their backs, and began to climb the cliff behind them with their nimble claws.
Their short, slender figures and bony bodies made these kobolds lightweight and extremely agile, and they quickly formed a long line on the cliff face, looking like migrating ants.
Thor had no intention of helping the kobolds. With a flap of his wings, he created a gust of wind and returned to his lair first.
The large meal filled his body with energy, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him, so he decided to take a short nap.
Before falling asleep, he took out an irregularly shaped round stone from a corner of the platform inside the cave. He lifted the top half and found that the inside had been hollowed out. Lying quietly inside was a crystalline mineral that exuded cold air, along with a few red and black berries.
Since these Dragon Killing Fruits have already been extracted, it would be a waste to leave them uneaten. Thor decided to eat two more while they were still fresh.
Speaking of which, the slight dizziness and rush of blood felt a bit like tobacco in my past life, while the faint burning sensation was like chili peppers, which was quite a unique experience.
This time, he planned to increase the dosage. He took two pills from his homemade mini-fridge, tossed them into his mouth with his paw, and swallowed them whole.
Next, we just wait for them to take effect, which can be used to help us fall asleep.
Dragons are known for their rapid digestion and absorption. Before long, Thor felt his blood flow quicken, a slight dizziness began to creep into his head, and his magic began to slowly dissipate uncontrollably.
Under the magical vision, numerous tiny red and yellow specks of light could be seen emanating from the gaps in his scales like smoke, drifting around like silk. Some disappeared into the surrounding stone walls, while many more lingered in the air.
Strictly speaking, these are actually impurities contained in Thor's magic and bloodline energy.
Because they are not refined enough, they overflow uncontrollably from the body under the influence of the Dragon Killing Fruit.
However, as the saying goes, "what is trash to one is treasure to another," when a wisp of magic ribbon peeked out of the cave entrance, it was spotted by a kobold that had climbed up, and it immediately widened its bright red eyes.
What is this thing? Why does it feel its blood surging, a strong desire rising from the bottom of its heart, as if if it takes a few more breaths, something will be conceived and born within it?
Then, as if possessed, the dog-headed man barked excitedly and quickly climbed onto the platform at the cave entrance.
The kobolds behind them were quickly affected as well, their faces showing a dazed expression as they stood at the cave entrance taking deep breaths.
Thor's keen senses quickly alerted him to the unusual behavior of the kobolds. He only glanced at them briefly before understanding the reason for their presence.
He didn't intend to stop these guys; after all, it was just waste expelled from his body, and if these inferior creatures wanted it, he would let them have it.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the most benevolent red dragon in history, having already advanced his "salary" to his retinue before they even started working.
If that old bastard Bahamut found out about this, wouldn't he immediately issue a divine decree and bestow upon himself the title of "Chosen One of the Holy Dragon"?
With these random thoughts swirling in his mind, the impurities in his magic and bloodline energy dissipated, making Thor, who had just eaten his fill, feel a bit hungry again.
So he simply exchanged some dragon crystals and various metal ores, stuffing them into his mouth like candy.
A rich energy emanated from within the body, was digested and absorbed, filling the void left by the loss of impurities, and the pure bloodline energy and magic power within the body also began to quietly increase.
In a way, isn't this another form of bloodline purification?
