Red Dragon, but chosen by all four gods

In a mountain hollow near the dragon's nest, the sound of swords clashing echoed continuously.

The renovation of the experimental cave will take some time, so the Dragonborn can only practice their skills temporarily in places far from the settlement.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Inanna's longsword slipped from her hand, embedding itself deeply into the rock wall to the side.

"You need to learn to adapt to the power of the Dragonborn and control it at will, otherwise you will hurt yourself." Tarek on the other side sheathed his sword.

Inanna flexed her numb wrists and nodded.

The sword flew out with such force not because Tarek was going all out, but because Inanna couldn't control the surge of power and swung the sword with all her might.

The dragonborn's modification surgery was so ruthless that she felt somewhat alienated from her own body.

Inanna had already undergone considerable changes. First, her body size had also begun to grow rapidly. Although she was not as tall as Tarek and the others, she was still much larger than before.

The golden-red fur on her cheeks was replaced by golden-red scales, and dragon scales appeared on her elbows, knees, chest, and other areas to protect her joints and vital points.

The changes within her body were even greater, allowing her to better bear the power of the dragon's true blood. She not only gained many organs that she didn't have before, but the functions of many of these organs also underwent significant changes, and her muscles and joints were also adjusted.

This caused significant changes in her breathing rhythm, her heart rate, and her muscle control.

Inanna tried to rub her wrist, but found that the injury had healed itself in just two breaths.

Seeing Inanna's surprised expression, Tarek explained:

"This is the power bestowed by the Dragon Lord. Your body is no longer weak, but will continuously heal and regenerate."

"However, this is limited, and you can't rely on it too much. Ezekiel's unbridled injuries are an exception."

"Understood, I will cherish everything the Dragon Lord has bestowed upon me."

The longsword embedded in the rock wall was deformed from the violent impact, and Inanna turned around and picked up a new longsword.

This time, instead of attacking blindly, she stood opposite Tarek again with a cautious defensive stance.

Tarek is the commander of all dragonborn under Heros, and Inanna has investigated his background.

He used to be a low-ranking citizen of the Galahren clan. As a boy, dissatisfied with the rule of the Galahren nobles, he killed a minor nobleman who was in charge of their village and then began a life on the run.

Tarek is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses considerable management skills. During his escape, he gradually gathered many people who were dissatisfied with the Galahren family.

Although this force is not yet strong enough to threaten Gallachren's rule, it has certainly caused François a great deal of trouble.

He was also incredibly slippery, managing to evade numerous encirclements and attacks.

It wasn't until one of the Golden Dragonborn was handling affairs in the White River Valley that François seized the opportunity to lure him out, and with the help of the Dragon Court, he was able to capture him.

I heard he suffered a lot in the dungeon and is the one who has stayed in the Galahron dungeon the longest among the current six dragonborn, but I didn't expect that it didn't change his character at all.

However, it's quite ridiculous.

Now, she, the traitor to Galahren and the enemy of Galahren, has become a dragonborn of the red dragon and stands within the Golden Dragon Court.

The once glorious Galahren family has vanished, its houses deserted and completely destroyed.

Seeing that Inanna was already prepared to defend, Tarek swung his sword and attacked.

At first, the offensive was relatively slow. Inanna quickly became familiar with and coordinated her somewhat unfamiliar body by using parrying techniques.

As her steps, sword swing angles, and reaction speed gradually became more coordinated, Tarek quickened his attack.

In this way, whenever Inanna got used to the offensive, the opponent's offensive would escalate to a higher level.

Tarek's offensive only stopped when Inanna gradually ran out of energy.

"You need to learn how to use the magic in your true blood to fight, instead of relying solely on physical strength."

"However, this requires time and gradual training, so let's stop here for today."

Inanna wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth, and nodded.

Suddenly, two whooshing sounds rang out overhead. The two looked up and saw two giant figures, one red and one blue, descending from the sky. They knelt down on the ground together.

Heros landed slowly in front of the two with Maglen: "Very good, Inanna, you adapted quickly."

Especially since he recently received his elder brother's "blessing" again, which allows his true blood to regenerate continuously, it has further fueled his desire to transform his family members.

Incidentally, only Mortal originally possessed this "gift," but after he received the same "gift," she seemed to fall into an inescapable depression.

"This is thanks to Commander Tarek's careful instruction," Inanna replied respectfully.

Although she was nominally Heros's "first familiar," she had to admit that Tarek's position as the leader of the dragonborn was well-deserved.

Heros then looked at Tarek: "Tarek, you did a good job."

"It is my responsibility to train our new brethren," Tarek said in a deep voice.

Heros nodded in satisfaction. Having two reliable family members meant he didn't have to worry about many things.

Unlike that Ezekiel, who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun when he has nothing to do, and who always acts cowardly when he sees me.

Although the Dragonborn warriors did have nothing to do when they weren't on missions, Heros always felt like he was being fed by Inanna, who could work non-stop, and Tarek, who could handle all sorts of things.

"Inanna, you've finished your training. Go and take care of things at the settlement. I have a task for Tarek."

"Yes."

After Inanna left, Heros instructed Tarek:

"Magren has his eye on some of the people of the White Mist Forest and wants to take them as his subjects, but the lords and nobles there are very perfunctory, and the people lack loyalty to the Golden Dragon Court."

"I want you to lead a team there, investigate the situation thoroughly, and if possible, bring back a few citizens who are interested in becoming dragon descendants."

"Magren has compiled a list of his preferred followers. These followers are scattered across various territories in the White Mist Forest. Only their general locations are recorded. When you arrive in the White Mist Forest, you will need to inquire about the specific individuals and make contact with them."

Maglen spat out a scroll and tossed it into Tarek's hand.

"To prevent those lords from refusing to acknowledge your identities, I will have Hill accompany you on behalf of the Golden Dragon Court. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself; I trust your judgment."

"The timeframe is tentatively set for within two months, so you don't need to stay there indefinitely."

Heros's tone revealed an unyielding authority: "If they don't know what's good for them, I don't mind spending some time to reshape the rules and order of the White Mist Forest ahead of schedule."

Tarek took the scroll, bowed again, and said, "Yes, I will certainly live up to your mission."
