In the vast underground space, the red dragon sits cross-legged on the throne, and the centaur girl-Lilia stands below.
It was the second day after signing the covenant with the elves. The elf envoy had already left, and the centaur girl, Lilia, requested to meet the red dragon.
With nothing to do, Jose was in a good mood, so he received the family member in the throne hall.
Looking at the red dragon on the throne, Lilia felt complicated.
She was forcibly enslaved. At the beginning, she was ashamed and even tried to commit suicide. Only after the elf druids—Anna and Tiriel persuaded her did she decide to survive.
In this context, it is not difficult to understand that Lilia hated the red dragon to the core.
But later, after living under the rule of the red dragon for a long time, she was surprised to find that the red dragon that forcibly enslaved her was not as cruel and hateful as she imagined. Their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In addition, under the rule of the Red Dragon, she and her companions were not embarrassed or tortured. On the contrary, except for freedom, they had the same rights as other dependents and were revered by monster civilians.
Later, the red dragon arranged a job for the high-level elf druid—to study crops with the apprentices and solve the food problem of the underground kingdom.
Being bored alone, Lilia wanted to find something to do, and happened to meet a captured centaur.
The centaurs are longevity species like the elves, with a lifespan of 1,200 years, and the degeneration of the clansmen is only the scene of four or five generations. Lilia grew up listening to the heroic deeds of the king of the centaurs, and felt very sad about the experience of the fallen clansmen. pity.
And the centaur is also in awe of the ancestors in his blood, so the two got mixed up like this.
"I salute you, esteemed master," said Lilia, who had no choice but to bow her head under the eaves.
"Not bad."
On the throne, Jose frowned. The last time he met the centaur girl was nearly twenty years ago, and the trouble was not very pleasant.
Probation, or [Protagonist Halo]
Either way, this change is a good thing.
Thinking of this in his heart, the red dragon joked: "Lilia, you are much more polite than last time."
Lilia was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, but then she returned to normal. She raised her head and said, "Master, I'm looking for you this time to fight for some...fairness for the centaur clan."
Hearing this, Jose gently raised his finger, then lowered it lightly, making a jingling sound as it hit the throne. He was thinking about Lilia's words in his heart.
Under the management of the six-level system, all monsters under the rule of the Red Dragon can exchange for status through work and meritorious deeds. The gray-tailed centaurs who were captured at the beginning have already left the low-level, and went further to become the fourth-level a year ago. tribe.
However, considering some of the racial characteristics of the centaur family, Jose has always prohibited the centaur family from entering the army and upper-level institutions. Therefore, the centaur family is not treated differently in the Modo Peak Forest on the surface, but in fact they have no relationship with the upper class. .
That's exactly what Lilia said.
"I think you should know the flaws of the centaur family, impulsiveness, arrogance, and the most important thing is that the power of the devil is rooted in their blood. This kind of dormant power is usually nothing, but once you encounter a devil..."
Jose looked at the centaur girl, and said with a serious face: "What happened some time ago is the best example. The depraved power in their bodies was reactivated, and they degenerated into the minions of the devil."
"Yes," Lilia nodded.
"It is undeniable that the centaur race is indeed impulsive and arrogant, but, master, aren't the gnolls and ogres under your command impulsive and arrogant?!"
"As for the devil's power in the centaur family, they need to be strengthened even more. Although the devil's power is rooted deep in the blood and cannot be eradicated, it is not impossible to resist."
"As far as I know, as long as the strength of a centaur reaches a high level or above, it can resist the devil's blood awakening magic."
Lilia pursed her lips, looking anxiously at the frowning red dragon on the throne.
Jose's tone was a little unhappy: "Do you know what you are talking about? Advanced?"
"Lilia, high-level is a matter of course for us extraordinary races, but for ordinary races, do you know how difficult high-level is?!"
"Take my Modo Peak Forest as an example. For the past 20 years, I have been paying attention to the education of professionals and selecting professionals, but the number of high-level powerhouses born has just exceeded forty. You must know that under the rule of Modo Peak Forest The population is close to 600,000, less than one in ten thousand."
Lilia shook her head: "This high-level birth ratio can't be calculated like this."
"The population under the rule of Modo Peak Forest is indeed approaching 600,000, but half of them are newborns born in the past twenty years, and the poorly endowed goblins and kobolds account for the majority of the total population."
Under the sixty-four thick pillars in the Throne Hall, the heavily armed kobold guards felt offended and looked over.
Feeling the stabbing gaze from behind, Lilia's body froze: "Ahem, cough, after all, not all kobolds are as talented as the leader of the dog and your guards."
At least the mid-level kobold guard puffed out his chest, deeply convinced by the centaur girl's words in his heart.
If it weren't for his outstanding talent, could he be selected by the Red Dragon as a member of the guard? !
"Ahem, let's get down to business. If you subtract the newborns, kobolds, and goblins that haven't yet grown up, and just count the gnolls, ogres, and harpies, the ratio of high-level births under your command should be 1 in 2,000." About one."
"Out of every ten monsters, there are two or three monsters who have the talent of a professional. After training, they become an elementary professional. Every ten elementary professionals can give birth to a mid-level professional, and every two hundred mid-level professional who can give birth to a high-level professional."
Lilia was a little excited: "Master, you understand what this means. The proportion of middle-level professionals promoted to high-level professionals is obviously low. This does not mean that monster talents are too poor, or your professional education plan is not good, but the eve of the outbreak. !"
"As far as I know, in the human capital, the average age for a fighter to reach a high level is around twenty-eight, while for a mage it's even later, at around forty, and you've been trying to promote professional education for less than twenty years. , such an achievement.”
"This gave me hope, so I hope, master, you can allow me to train the centaur family, so that the centaur family can also receive professional education."
On the throne, Jose hesitated.
What the centaur girl said was well-founded, and she could tell at a glance that she had made sufficient preparations, but he really had some scruples about the curse lurking deep in the centaur's blood.
Seeing the red dragon bowed his head in thought, Lilia understood that the red dragon's attitude had loosened, and continued: "Master, the appearance of the devil in Taidanol is a small probability event after all."
"And in the beginning, I will not train the centaur clan on a large scale, but select a very small number of elites, so that even if any accident happens, it will not exceed your control."
"As for the future, I believe that when you become an adult, there will be no one in the Tidanol world who can threaten you. Even if there are real devils, there will be no trouble."
oops! Have you learned how to flatter your horse? !
Jose was quite surprised. He looked up at the centaur girl, saw the sincere eyes of the centaur girl, and understood that she was not flattering, but stating a fact.
Now that I am in the middle of my teens, I can fight against weaker ordinary legends. This kind of strength can completely compete with ordinary adult red dragons.
After the young dragon stage, it is almost a matter of course to enter adulthood to achieve legends, not ordinary legends, but legends of the giant dragon family.
And the last Dragon Clan who became a legendary dragon in adulthood was the ancestral Red Nest Matriarch, Savannah.
"Okay, you convinced me, I agree to let you have a try."
As the centaur girl said, training a small number of centaurs is under control even if something goes wrong, so why not give it a try!
…………………
Lilia was in full swing preparing her centaur revival plan. At the same time, Jose was practicing magic by the lava lake in the Molten Core.
He has always had one goal, which is to become a legend before he becomes an adult, not a legend of the dragon family, but a legend of the mage profession.
This wish is not a fantasy. At present, he is a high-level mage, and he is still fifty or sixty years away from adulthood.
With the help of more and more powerful forces to collect magic knowledge, and then make good use of the fifty or sixty years, it is entirely possible for him to become a legendary mage before he reaches adulthood.
Dreams are useless, only with unremitting efforts can Jose achieve his goals, and he did the same.
The violent rain of fire fell into the lava lake, which exploded and sent waves on the lava lake.
And Jose didn't even look at the exploding lake, but observed the place where the fire and rain condensed and fell from the sky, where there was a faint red magic circle.
This magic circle is formed by the fire element running according to the law, and it is the key to the formation of the magic of meteor fire rain. For Jose, analyzing the magic circle is the key for him to go further and open the door to the new world of magic.
Once, Jose thought about such a question, why is a master-level powerhouse called a master
Later, he found the answer in a miscellaneous talk provided by a friend of Jinlong. A master is a person who deeply understands a certain industry and walks out of his own path.
This miscellaneous talk also records the inferences about the legend. The master walks along his own path, breaks through the surface, and touches the end of all things in the world with spiritual power-the source sea, and then he can be promoted to the legend.
"What is the principle?"
While thinking, Jose used the master's hand to write and draw on the paper with a pen, recording his questions and thoughts...
High-intensity thinking was extremely mentally exhausting. After six hours, Jose felt mentally exhausted. He yawned and wanted to sleep.
Glancing at Jinshan, he felt the magic power in his body again. He felt that there was still more than half of the magic power in his body, so he decided to practice magic before resting.
The awkward spell was uttered quickly, and a crimson portal formed in the air.
"Who is calling Crudis!"
A burning figure crossed the boundary, and before he could clearly see the appearance of the summoner, the high-level fire element named Crudis heard a nonchalant murmur: "Another inferior person."
Immediately, the connection was broken, and the fire elemental body collapsed.
Jose chanted the spell again, still summoning the fire element.
[Summon Fire Element] This magic has almost become a must practice item for Jose when practicing magic. There are many reasons, the most important are two points.
The first point is that [Summon Fire Element] is not a low-level magic itself, and it involves magic knowledge such as space, contract, and plane transmission. If he can analyze [Summon Fire Element], it will be of great benefit to his magic practice, especially Practice other summoning magic.
Elemental creatures represented by the four elements of water, fire, earth, and air, extraordinary races represented by giant dragons, celestial creatures, hell devils, abyssal devils, etc. can all be summoned.
If a sufficient price is paid, the gods can be summoned. To put it bluntly, the descending of the gods is the summoning magic that summons the gods to help in battle!
Of course, with the current magic level of the red dragon, the most important thing to analyze [Summon Fire Element] is the second point.
The second point, I hope that luck will break out again and summon an elemental noble like Hornaster.
With the [Phoenix Heart] super-large energy storage battery, Jose does not have the magic power troubles of ordinary spellcasters, and he can afford to summon multiple fire elements at the same time.
"Who is calling..." Another fire element came out of the boundary, but was immediately rejected by the caller and released as a pigeon.
"One hundred and thirty-five hundred and eighty-two failures... again!"
It didn't take long before the magic was wasted too.
Only then was Jose satisfied, and when he got back to the Golden Mountain, he lay down and fell asleep. Because his mental strength was exhausted, he really fell asleep.
Thinking every day, dreaming at night.
In his dream, Jose dreamed that he summoned hundreds of legendary dragons, and the breath of the dragons swept across the world.
The gold coins slid down, and the sleeping red dragon moved around on the golden mountain, still uttering unexplained dreams.
Time passed little by little, and two days passed.
In his sleep, Jose vaguely heard a voice. This voice was not in any language he knew, and it might not even be a language. It was a spiritual message, a message he could understand directly: "Follow the ancient Covenant, are you willing to fight for an ally?"
In a daze, Jose agreed, "Yes."
In an instant, Jose suddenly woke up from his sleep and realized what had happened.
I have been called!
So far, he has only signed a covenant of mutual summoning with the Lord of the Fire Element, Hornasted, and this time the summoning is definitely not Hornasted.
The ancient covenant? !
Could it be the covenant made by the ancestors of the Red Dragon Clan
Jose didn't have time to think about it, he suddenly disappeared above Jinshan, as if traveling through a space-time tunnel, passing through a colorful space tunnel.
Over an unknown distance in the blink of an eye, Jose felt the presence of air again.
Before he had time to see the appearance of the summoner, he heard a wail: "Ah~! Why is it a juvenile dragon?!"
Jose:? !
