Crossing the true dragon realm, and you call me Little Locke?

"This kind of alchemical magic?"

It dwells deep within the dragon's nest, on the vine bed left behind by the green dragon.

Shuoyang teased the giant skull dragon with the tip of its tail while checking the rewards given by the system.

After he completed the initial quest to capture the Pokémon.

The system directly implanted alchemy knowledge related to making Poké Balls into his brain.

Unfortunately, there was no matching alchemy vessel, the alchemy pot.

Although he now has the technology and materials such as dragon scales and magic crystals, he is unable to craft Poké Balls.

Fortunately, this reward was just a bonus for him.

His biggest concern right now is the stagnation in the growth of the white trees.

With the unlocking of the Elf Home System and the Locke List, along with the release of subsequent missions, his most basic doubts were answered.

First, let's look at the two latest tasks.

[Task 2: Create a Leaf Source Crystal to help other Little Rockers build their Elf Homes. Reward: Communication and Trading System / You can communicate and trade with other Little Rockers using White Trees and Leaf Source Crystals.]

[Task 3: Capture one of each type of spirit to complete the White Tree's spirit domain. Reward: Accelerated White Tree growth/It can grow with the expansion of its territory, including other Little Rock territories with Branch and Leaf Source Crystals.]

Secondly, there's the Elf Home System, which is essentially a map.

Above is the Muyun Mountain Range, which Shuoyang currently occupies. The map marks all the magic nodes and types of elves that appear in the Muyun Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, other areas were temporarily shrouded in gray fog.

Finally, there's Locke's list, which currently only has one dragon, Shuoyang, on it.

Below his portrait, there are seven attributes he excels in: fire, electricity, wings, water, light, dragon, and cuteness.

Shuoyang compared these attributes with the attributes of the spirits marked on the map.

The discovery was found to be within these attributes.

At this point, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Because true dragons are top-tier magical creatures, they constantly emit magical radiation that merges into the earth's veins, altering the surrounding environment and making their nests and territories more habitable.

Therefore, the white tree absorbing the magical radiation of the scorching sun must have done something similar.

It takes root in the earth's veins by leveraging the magical radiation of the sun to create a corresponding elven ecological environment.

Using the magical radiation of the scorching sun and the magic of the earth's veins, they nurtured spirits of corresponding attributes.

The branch crystals and other little Locke in the mission are probably the branches of the white tree and other true dragons.

Having figured this out, Shuoyang looked at the giant skeletal dragon chasing its tail and had a new question.

Because the map markers show only common sprites with a single attribute.

There are no Dragon-type Pokémon, let alone the Dragon/Ghost-type Giant Skull Dragon.

So where did this little thing come from?

Shuoyang used his tail to lift the large-skulled dragon up and examined it closely.

Meanwhile, the giant skull dragon flapped its small wings and bit down hard on Shuoyang's leaf-shaped tail fin.

He might look weak, but Shuoyang knew the truth after the skills test.

These elves possess potential no less than that of true dragons, and a growth rate no less than that of mortal races.

Given enough resources and proper training.

After evolving into the Annihilation Bone Dragon, this giant skull dragon was not much weaker than those dragon liches.

Even because of its elven characteristic: immortality.

It is much more resilient than the dragon lich and does not have the fatal weakness of the dragon lich's life box.

The Great Skull Dragon and its adult form, the Annihilation Bone Dragon, can continuously revive as long as there is time and magic.

Therefore, for a dragon like Shuoyang, who is too lazy to manage its territory...

These loyal and innocent elves are undoubtedly more suitable as his dragon's servants than troublesome and weak monsters like gnolls.

Thinking this, Adela came over to report again.

She glanced at the large-headed dragon biting the tip of Shuoyang's tail and frowned slightly.

Then, with a serious expression, he reported, "My lord, the matter has been thoroughly investigated."

"This skull dragon was discovered by the scavenger in an abandoned village in Ashenvale during its hunt."

"It started as an egg, and it only hatched after being brought to the mine by that scavenger."

"That carrion thought it was a dragon lich that had just been resurrected by possessing a corpse, and thought it had something to rely on, so it decided to betray the master."

"An abandoned village?"

Shuoyang raised his claw and recalled the giant skull dragon into its Poké Ball, then thoughtfully scratched its colorful beard.

He had some impression of that place.

When he became a dragonborn, he searched far and wide for a habitable nest.

They were deceived by the witches' gathering place where they lived.

The three witches mistook him for a novice adventurer.

They lured him to the abandoned village, intending to kill him and use him as food supplies and materials for their spellcasting.

The result was naturally that he was caught fishing instead of fishing, and Shuoyang, who revealed his true form, burned him to ashes with a breath of dragon's breath.

It was from them that Shuoyang learned of the existence of the Green Dragon and conceived the idea of ​​seizing its nest.

This led to the subsequent change of ownership of the Muyun Mountains.

The magical nodes in that place are heavily polluted by the witch's gatherings, making them teeming with the aura of the dead.

Therefore, it is very likely that the white tree absorbed the necromantic energy from the earth's veins, which is why this giant skull dragon was born.

Thinking of this, Shuoyang asked Adela for confirmation, "Have you actually gone to the original location to investigate?"

"Have you noticed any unusual changes?"

"Yes, sir."

Adela nodded and replied, "That place looks like it's been purified by someone."

"The original magical pollution and necromantic aura have all disappeared."

"As expected," Shuoyang confirmed his guess.

Because of the birth of the giant skull dragon, it absorbed the necromantic energy from that magical node.

That's why the area returned to normal and could no longer support the giant skull dragon.

Having figured this out, Shuoyang praised Adela, saying, "Good job, not bad."

"Go back and get rid of that hyena!"

"Then take a few kobolds into the mountains to look for some of these eggs. Bring them all back."

After saying that, he told Adela about all of the more than ten magic nodes.

Then he thought for a moment and pried the Poké Ball out of the scales of the giant skull dragon.

He placed the ball in front of Adela, saying, "You can take this little guy with you too!"

"It's called the Big-Skull Dragon, a kind of magical beast."

"If you just cultivate a good relationship with it, it will become your powerful bodyguard."

Adela, however, remained standing still.

She looked at the Poké Ball at her feet, somewhat hesitant.

Because she was a druid who worshipped the forest goddess Elona, ​​she had a strong aversion to undead creatures.

So when faced with the giant skull dragon, her instinct was to refuse.

But when she looked up and saw Shuoyang's vertical pupils gleaming with firelight, the fear deep in her memory surged into her heart.

Dragons are proud, even though Shuoyang's actions are biased towards benevolent dragons.

But the pain her mother left her made her remember the lesson that dragons cannot be disobeyed.

Therefore, under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Shuoyang.

After a moment of stunned silence, Adela quietly picked up the Poké Ball from the ground and left.

Seeing this, Shuoyang worried that the two would not get along well.

He then added from behind, "Let it out for a walk whenever you have time; this little guy is very easy to take care of."

"Just feed it some fruit, it's not picky about food."

Upon hearing this, Adela paused for a moment.

However, I have some doubts: do undead creatures eat normal food?

But Shuoyang was, after all, her lord, so she didn't dare to turn around and ask.

I can only keep it in mind and try it out when I have time.

After her figure disappeared, Shuoyang summoned the system and looked at the three tasks.

He, however, was somewhat troubled and fell into deep thought.

After figuring out the general rules of how he and Bai Shu laid eggs, he found himself stuck on the quest.

Now, he wants the white tree to continue growing to replenish itself.

You must first complete task three before expanding your territory.

However, his strength was limited, and the Muyun Mountains were caught between many forces. Rashly expanding would only bring about his destruction.

Therefore, the safest approach is to create branch and leaf source crystals.

He gave it to his mother and his brothers and sisters, grazing on their land, so that the white tree could grow and replenish itself.

To do this, he needs to complete his first task.

Tame the three spirits of fire, water, and grass to unlock the magic of creation.

The problem is that he and Bai Shu can only produce spirits with seven attributes: fire, electricity, wings, water, light, dragon, and cuteness.

Based on his deduction, what type of spirit could be produced?

It should be related to the magical radiation elements of the true dragon itself, as well as the magic of the earth's veins.

Just like his status as a celestial dragon, he possesses spells related to fire breath, weather, and light.

Therefore, his magical radiation contains the attributes of fire, wings, and light.

Since he is a spirit dragon, a dragon with fairy-like characteristics related to cuteness, he also has the attributes of dragon and cuteness.

Furthermore, the lightning breath and water properties granted by the Bronze Dragon bloodline give his magical radiation a certain degree of electric and water attributes.

So, you need to collect Pokémon with the Fire, Water, and Grass attributes.

He would first have to create a leaf crystal and give it to a true dragon that possesses grass-attribute magical radiation—such as a green dragon.

Only then can Grass-type Pokémon spawn in his territory for him to capture.

Therefore, the problem now becomes...

In order to unlock the magic of creation, he created the Leaf Source Crystal and gave it to the other dragons.

You must first have a Leaf Source Crystal, give it to the Green Dragon to create a Grass-type Spirit, and then you can unlock Creation Magic.

A single-minded approach becomes blocked at both ends, creating a completely closed loop.
