Red Dragon, but chosen by all four gods

The transformation of Little Corleone was completed quickly; it was merely a weakened version of the modification, and Heros easily streamlined the surgical procedure.

He didn't even perform the surgery himself; he just had Motal and Maglen carry it out.

This transformation was essentially just injecting some of Corleone's true blood, giving him some of Mortal's magic and dragon-blooded characteristics.

All internal organ and muscle modifications were omitted; only some adjustments were made to the way the dragon's blood was carried.

There wasn't much valuable data from this kind of surgery, so Maglen could just make a quick record.

Of course, the biggest advantage of the surgical procedure deduced by Herlos is that it can be continuously modified.

Even though Corleone's basic abilities were very poor, after he gradually adapted to the power of the Dragonborn, he gained the ability to proceed to the next stage of transformation.

So he will still grow into a qualified dragonborn; it's just a matter of time.

For some reason, Motar, who was very excited before the conversion, has suddenly become much more depressed recently.

However, she soon took Corleone to the Plain of Vilding again.

Just as Corleone had said, two weeks later, a group of people followed Mortar back to the Dragon's Nest, singing celebratory songs.

The majority of this team members are small, like Corleone, and show almost no signs of bestiality.

Such bloodlines made them lack fighting power; their frail bodies reminded Heros of rats living in the mud.

No matter what kind of enemy they face, they can only run away; those who can't escape will be eaten.

This way of life is unimaginable for dragons, but Heros can understand it.

The thirty thousand years of the Godfall Era were enough for all races to evolve every possible way to survive.

This team still brought many surprises to Heros.

They not only came in person, but also brought truckloads of seeds.

These seeds, cultivated over many years on the Weilding Plain, are even better than those directly catalyzed by Motal.

According to Corleone Jr., the crops grown from these seeds would grow taller than him.

If you add Mortar's magic, it will definitely grow as tall as a tree.

Considering the height and perspective of shorter people, Heros felt there must be some exaggeration involved.

In addition, the people of the Weilding Plain brought all their own farming tools.

Their farm tools were much smaller and better than those forged by the blacksmiths of Baihe Valley.

Upon arriving at the dragon's lair, these new followers of Mortar cheered and took over all the farming work, toiling away in the fields day and night.

Their accommodation and food were easy to arrange; they didn't need much space for their accommodation and they ate very little.

Inanna hardly needed to prepare anything for them.

And the results of their work were quickly revealed.

The grain yield of the fields they cultivated almost tripled.

Mortal was rewarded by Heros for this, and her depressed mood finally improved a lot.

However, these citizens of the Weilding Plains have the same problem as Little Corleone: they can only accept a weakened version of the transformation.

That's a story for another time.

Soon, two months passed, and the experimental site near the Dragon's Nest had changed dramatically.

Inanna did not build houses of varying sizes according to the characteristics and body types of the different test subjects.

It was only temporarily implemented at the beginning due to extremely limited resources.

Once the overall order was established and the settlement took shape, the same housing arrangements were adopted uniformly.

Even the smallest of the Mortar family members were provided with the same large house.

This suited Heros perfectly.

He originally detested the lord model of dividing and managing different races and their families, and had always been committed to creating a centralized order in which everything was aligned with the Dragon Court.

Furthermore, these experimental subjects are ultimately destined to become the dragon descendants of the Golden Dragon Court.

Treating everyone equally will save us from having to make any changes later.

The experimental cave can no longer be called a cave.

The entire mountain has been nearly hollowed out during the months of renovation.

The area on and above the mountainside is Heros's dragon's lair and treasure trove.

Here lies Heros's vast lava pool, which Macaros rearranged to withstand Heros's increasingly powerful magical interference.

Although he had built a treasure vault, Heros did not yet have any valuable treasures worth collecting. Unlike other dragons, he did not have a particularly strong desire for wealth and treasures.

Therefore, this treasure trove is more accurately described as a library.

This exhibit displays many of Herlos's experimental notes, primarily focusing on the field of bioalchemy.

Some of these, having reached sufficiently advanced levels in bioalchemy, have seen their records begin to gather magical energy on their own.

Heros had to set aside time to learn from Macaros how to seal the "magic book".

This kind of trouble is something most baby dragons probably don't have.

The first level below the mountainside is the main body of the original experimental cave, which is still used for experimental purposes.

The entire cave has been completely transformed. The rough stone walls that were originally excavated are gone, and the entire cave has been decorated with neat stone bricks.

Besides the experimental operating room that Heros used himself, which was built in the shape of a dragon, he also specially arranged several operating rooms in the shape of mortals.

In Herlos's vision, basic surgeries would still be performed by family members in the future, and Maglen and Motal's family members were the main force in this regard.

He himself only performed the experimental part to increase the efficiency of the deduction.

The surgical laboratory was completely sealed off by multiple magical barriers, making it even more heavily protected than Heros's own dragon lair.

It operates multiple sets of automatic purification arrays to ensure that there is never any external contamination in the surgical laboratory.

Maglen didn't do a good job on this part either, so Heros set some things up himself, and the most intricate parts were done by Macaros.

The next level is used to store magical materials needed for surgical experiments.

There is currently a significant shortage in this area; the original magical materials could simply be obtained from Macalos.

However, to complete an experimental surgery involving 3,000 people, the amount of magical materials required is enormous.

Heros still needs to find a way to fill it.

The next level features numerous cave-like public spaces designed to fit the human body, divided into pre-operative and post-operative observation areas.

At the very bottom is a spacious training ground where the dragonborn can spar and practice their strength.

Of course, this area is completely connected to the settlement outside. Inanna also intends to let the test subjects in the settlement witness the power of the dragonborn from time to time, so as to inspire their yearning and determination to become dragonborn.

After these modifications, Heros no longer intended to call this place the "Experimental Cave," but instead renamed it the "Dragon Blood Temple" to clearly define its function.

Shortly after the Dragonblood Temple was completed, Tarek led his team back from the White Mist Forest.

Behind them followed a group of pointed-eared citizens.
