The red dragon just wants to do whatever it wants

Chapter 239 The Night of the Storm
Due to the task of raising and teaching the young dragons, Lefulia returned to the lower court after her head finally cooled down and returned to its original state after a few days.

It’s just that he hasn’t paid attention to David since that day.

I don't know whether he was angry because of David's 'offense', or whether he was psychologically affected by his extreme behavior.

Or both.

David himself didn't take this change seriously. After going to the atrium and plundering the young dragons who had just returned from hunting at sea, he, the "Guardian of the Dragon Court" who had just returned from hunting at sea, went to sleep in the lower courtyard. Come.

Although the atrium has been rebuilt, the dragon's nest has not yet been built. He plans to wait for the biggest and best one to be repaired before occupying the dragon's nest.

This is called respecting dragon customs.

Who made the blue dragon's rules like this?

But David, who was squinting and dozing off, discovered that while he didn't see it, Lefulia was gradually becoming more enthusiastic about Tanya, who had repeatedly brought surprises to the lower court.

This girl has received many good things from David before. During her years in Baator Hell and the battlefields of all planes, she also collected a lot of treasures and magic items, including a silver dragon and a rich woman.

Now wearing the skin of a blue dragon, coupled with the charisma of up to 25, being young and rich, although he seems a bit playful and likes to make some jokes, working together in the court is like exposing the COS in the kindergarten teacher's dormitory. Like a handsome male protagonist, he easily captured the attention of all the female blue dragons, and simply pushed a group of blue dragons in the atrium to the ground and killed them violently.

So much so that the position of Dragon Breeder in the lower court, which is usually the most disliked and resisted position by dragons, has actually become a popular one that female dragons rush to apply for in the court. The eyes that usually look at Lefulia are full of The burning smell of envy, jealousy and hatred.

It's not that there aren't any female dragons who take a liking to David who beats up all the dragons.

However, David had shown a violent temper that was 'comparable to a red dragon' some time ago, and since joining the Olivares clan, he had been sleeping hard, so no one dared to provoke him for a while.

Although Mu Qiang is the nature of five-color dragons, especially female dragons.

But since they will have to live together for a long time after the storm night, they are also afraid of domestic violence, okay?

Even though David thought he had shown mercy when he beat up the dragon, people who didn't know the truth thought he was going to kill all the dragons. The scene was just like a murder scene, a brutal one.

On this day, the blue dragon Kailuoer cautiously visited the lower court area, like a cowardly cat who was afraid of being beaten and did not dare to look directly:
"Um, boss, it's time for us to go to sea to collect taxes. Do you want to familiarize yourself with the environment? Well, if you feel tired, we can ask you again the next time we go on a mission."

He shouldn't have been the one to rush for this job, but the other blue dragons had been beaten out of their psychological shadows during this period, so he was assigned to be the most cowardly one in the many chaotic battles.

To be honest, he felt ashamed when he said these words. However, the situation was better than that of Long, and he didn't want to be beaten, so he could be cowardly.

Seeing no response, Kyler let out a long sigh. After completing his task, he was about to turn around and tiptoe away when he heard David's lazily voice behind him:

"Let the idiots in the atrium prepare a decent meal, and then take you out to eat when you're full."

"I know, boss." Kai Luoer's tail dropped instantly when he heard this.

If I go back with this order, I'm afraid I'll probably get beaten again.

I heard David smacking his lips and adding:
"This is my order. If they dare to take the opportunity to beat you, they just don't take me seriously. If you get an additional injury, I will randomly pick a dragon and drag it into the sea to fish."

When Kailuoer heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. His originally short head and tail were raised together:
"Yes! Boss! I'm going to teach those lazy idiots a lesson for you!"

Seeing this guy leaving the lower court with an air of taking advantage of the situation, even Lefulia, who usually avoided David, couldn't stand it:

"Can you even like a thing like this?"

"That's right." Tanya, who was using her mage's claws to turn the sixth 'challenging' dragon into a crotch-covering disciple, also agreed.

David, however, shook his tail without looking back and continued to immerse himself in saying:
"Don't you understand this? Being tough and high-pressure will only make them fear me, but not respect me.

"After all, my brother and I are both foreign dragons after all. At this time, I can find some little guys like this to give us some sweetness. When other dragons see it, they will have the same thoughts as you now, 'Such a thing is actually Can you be bribed? You can do it with me!' This kind of thinking.

"Once the dragons begin to show signs of moving closer to me or even competing to flatter me, their original rigid xenophobia will collapse in an instant. At that time, I will be the real leader of the atrium."

After listening to this straightforward analysis, Lefulia, who had never thought about the problem from David's perspective, was stunned for a long time, and for the first time, she seemed to really understand something about this issue in her. This impression of a guy whose mind is all about muscles:
"It turns out that you look like a harmless dragon, but you actually hide the evil intentions of a green dragon. Huh, 'Tanyas' is the most reliable as expected. 'Tanyas', let's go, get away from this place." Stay away from lazy and vicious guys.”

"Hehehehe." Tanya, who was praised by the female dragon, immediately smiled like a weasel who had just been greeted by a little hen. She swung her tail and gave David a playful chicken thief smile, and her pupils narrowed.

David almost laughed and hugged him on the spot.

I actually think Tanya, this 'silver cut black' guy, is reliable!

But don't you really let this little female dragon, whose curiosity kills the dragon, be thrown into confusion one day and eventually abandon it? !

Four days later, David, who had finished a meal worth his own weight in the atrium under the strange attention of all the dragons, jumped up from the cave entrance filled with sea breeze and led nearly half of the young blue dragons in the atrium toward the sea. let's go.

Since there are few trade routes in the Old World of Scanis that need to pass through the Kutaro Desert, the barbarian tribes in the north that could have plundered some gold mines and treasures have been beaten to the point where they cannot hold their heads up by the high elves, and their sources of income are huge. The blue dragons, whose range was compressed, had no choice but to put their focus on the sea.

It's just that even on the sea where trade is prosperous, the majority of the ships coming and going are high elves' ships.

As for the now powerful high elves, it is not recommended to provoke the opinions of the dragons in court easily.

After listening to the "market introduction" of Kai Luoer, the new dragon leg, during the trip, David immediately scratched his chin with the tip of his tail:

"Isn't it recommended to provoke someone easily? In other words, you can still take advantage of the situation."

Hearing David's reckless and even arrogant speech, the scales on the blue dragons stood up.

Good guy, this guy from the main material plane of Toril is really reckless!

After all, based on their physical and mental experience in the past month, this reckless guy's so-called "eat the soft and fear the tough depending on the situation", I'm afraid there are not many ships that can look tough.

If this triggers a siege and retaliation from the high elves, how will they explain it to the clan leader?

For a time, following David's order to move freely, not many dragons dared to stay with David, including Ezequiel and Traton who had just provoked David last month.

It seems that these two blue dragon brothers were quite unlucky. They had just been beaten that day and were about to go to the atrium to surrender.

As a result, David started to taunt the group with [Rage], and he rushed forward with the group of dragons in a daze, and was beaten twice in a row in one day.

I don’t know who was the one who told the story before. Coupled with Patricio’s anger, his status suddenly became worse than before.Seeing that a coward like Kyler could be reused, he immediately became the first to surrender as David said.

It's just that they don't know if they have good luck or bad luck. They have been wandering over this sea area for two full months, but they haven't even encountered an elven warship.

What makes David even more disappointed is that the tax collection process is far simpler and boring than he imagined.

If it had been the Qidian novel I read in my previous life, I would have bumped into a cargo ship carrying 'warriors', then revolted when they taxed them, and then staged a big show of a sea warrior teasing an evil dragon.

But in reality, these merchant ships coming and going have the same reaction as the Blue Star freighter next door that encounters Somali pirates.

The most 'resistance' measure David had ever seen was to ask the ship's mage to start a blast spell when he saw them from afar, and to sail at the highest speed to try to avoid them.

In this case, it basically depends on whether the cargo ship is big enough and whether the blue dragon is willing to chase it. If the ship is big and the blue dragon is determined to chase it, it basically cannot escape.

Once a blue dragon makes an emergency landing on the deck, merchant ships will often choose to lower their sails and surrender.

Blue dragons generally only choose to rob property and commercial goods, rather than killing people and burning boats to catch the fish.

After doing this kind of thing too often, others will rather transport by land than take this route.

David saw more merchant ships, and actually chose to sail directly towards them. Then like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, the captain smiled and 'reminisced' with Kai Luoer and the others under the auspicious escort.

Yes, if you rob too much, you will become an acquaintance.

Then often these regular customers would ask the cook to prepare a meal that was enough for David and others to eat and drink, and then donate one-third to half of the goods on the ship as "navigation protection money" as the price of release.

Of course, in order to avoid being robbed again on subsequent routes, the blue dragons will also put a mark on the ship to show that the ship has been visited by their peers and there is no more oil or water left.

What made David a little dumbfounded was that what the blue dragon used as a mark was actually a very familiar 'general equivalent' - dragon dung.

The shipowners are also happy to accept it. If this thing falls on the deck, it will not only be free from plunder during the next voyage, but it can even repel sea monsters that may be encountered. It can even be used by spellcasters and even alchemists on land. Take the initiative to purchase at your door!

So when Pavla ended the dragon dung war and allowed dragon dung to be sold at sky-high prices by a group of profiteers in the New World, there was a group of smart and bold guys who loaded up a batch of cheaper goods and specifically approached the blue dragon for them to take the initiative. Rob.

Once you resell it, you can even earn more than if you work for HNA!

Even later, slave trading ships began to come here, and sexy female slaves were asked to dance while preparing meals. There were often blue dragons that were about to come into heat and unloaded before the stormy night.

And the female slaves who are lucky enough to be recruited can also turn over. If the buyer they are lucky enough to meet has some humanity, they will also be allowed to continue to be the adoptive mother of the Dragonborn.

The profits were so high that there were so many imitators that Blue Dragon couldn't keep up with the original one. Later, Blue Dragon also discovered the tricks and started to change its strategy.
He was even dubbed the 'Stingy Blue Dragon' by businessmen - he relies on being stingy!
This anecdote about the operation really opened David's eyes.

Unfortunately, he didn't know whether it was because of the high elves' capture of Scanis. The price of dragon dung dropped back to the market. As for borrowing seeds by sea, he never saw one.

Just when David was holding back his patience and wanted to do something big-catching a merchant ship formation.

Rumble!
Storm clouds with lightning and thunder began to accumulate in the eastern sky.

"Boss, boss! The storm is coming! Are we almost ready to return to the nest?!"

David turned his head and saw that this kid Kailuo was swaying his hips unnaturally like a teddy. He couldn't help but be shocked:
"Stormy Night?"

"Yes, Stormy Night! Hehehehe." Ezequiel and the others also showed lewd expressions that could only be understood.

In this way, David can tell at a glance that he is the first brother in the group love scene.

David is no longer sentimental.

When the storm comes, not many ships will dare to take risks and continue their voyage.

He twisted his body and said:
"Let's go back to the nest and snatch the female dragon!"

"hold head high!!!"

But almost as soon as David and the others disappeared into the stormy sky.

A distinctive elf warship with a silver-moon flag flying swiftly across the sea, carrying the wind of magic.

Just when I passed a 'big fish' on the sea and returned home with a full load, I saw lightning and thunder above the dragon's nest in the distance.

The storm is sweeping across the desolate desert with its spectacular power.

At the same time, some male blue dragons who returned early had already begun their courtship dance under the violent storm.

These male blue dragons are huge, and their scales shine like gem-like blue light when bathed in thunder and lightning. They use their strong wings to soar and dance in the strong wind, showing their power. Their roars are accompanied by thunder, as if they are emitting thunderstorms into the sky. Challenge, but also to show the females their strength.

During this courtship ritual, male blue dragons also use their innate ability - control of thunder and lightning!
They breathed thunder and lightning, and their breaths caused more thunderstorms in the sky, like works of art painted on the canvas of the sky.

This display of thunder and lightning is not only a symbol of power and manipulation of the elements, but also an attraction to females.

The female blue dragon observes the performances of these males from a distance, thereby assessing each male's strength and elemental affinity for thunder and lightning.

Eventually, each female chooses one of the males to be her mate for potentially years or even decades.

But this also means that after the male dragon that performs best in the storm and can show the most strength and beauty is competed out, it is the female's turn to compete.

Generally speaking, the process is like this.

But this time the situation is a bit special.

Tanya, a foreign dragon, almost caught the attention of all the female blue dragons as soon as she flew into the sky and started dancing among the thunderstorms.

But just when this silver dragon Nizi was enjoying the envy and jealousy of the dragons, she was about to create the biggest mistake for the Kutaro Desert Blue Dragon.

David, who is stepping on the thunder clouds, leads the dragons who are out hunting
It's too late.
