Make the dragon great again

Chapter 2 The White Dragon, Adrian

"This is, this is a giant dragon! The ancient mythical creature 'Giant Dragon'!"

The young paladin expressed his guess in a deep and hasty voice.

The captain obviously didn't know what the "giant dragon" he was talking about, but asked nervously:
"This huge monster is called 'Giant Dragon'? Is it something like a dragon beast or a flying dragon? How did we win that kind of thing! Did your master knight teach you how to deal with this monster?" (Note 1)

Under the critical situation, the young man was not as shy and stuttering as usual, he shook his head, and said at a faster speed:
"I only know that the 'Giant Dragon' is a mythical creature classified as an ancient species, the ancestor of dragon beasts and flying dragons, and was extinct at least 1 years ago..."

"Damn it! How could it appear in front of us if it's really extinct? It's okay to say that the dragon beast is not something we can deal with, and this big guy called 'Giant Dragon' is the ancestor of the flying dragon?!"

The turbulent elemental turbulence around and the coercion of high-ranking creatures made the captain lose his composure.

And the half-elf girl on the side, although suppressed by the turbulent flow of elements and completely unable to communicate with the magical environment, after all, the magician profession is better than rationality. Under the reminder of the young paladin, she quickly thought of a rumor and said:

"Dragon? I remember that the Kingdom of Behemoth used a giant beast with wings on its back as its totem, and claimed that it was the ancestor of all dragon beasts and flying dragons. The Principality of Griffin has always ridiculed them, saying that they are The offspring of monsters..."

The emotionally unstable captain stopped her words from divergent thinking:
"Is now the time to discuss this!"

At this time, perhaps it was the dispute and discussion between the three of them, which finally made the "giant beast" wake up from the stupor it had just woken up from. People are closer.

A pair of vertical pupils stretched to be more slender, and the eyes emitted a stunning golden light. The "giant beast"'s kiss was slightly opened, and the air vibrated accordingly, speaking a language that was more ancient and simple than the common language, pronunciation, and grammar of the mainland:

"Let me see, um... is it a human race or a half-elf?!"

The three were shocked by the existence of the "behemoth", but the "behemoth" also showed emotional shock to the appearance of the three.

While the three people were stunned, this terrifying "giant beast" was like an excited puppy. It pounced forward and lowered its body. Its huge hut-like head stretched out less than two meters in front of the three people, scaring the three of them. He backed away in a hurry and assumed a defensive posture.

The two slender nostrils on the upper front of the behemoth's snout twitched slightly.

"Xixiu...it's really human race and half-elf, this is really great! I slept and woke up and slept in this place, it's been hundreds of years, it can be regarded as someone who intends to come here after walking through the underground maze Already!"

The "giant beast" seemed to be very excited, its tail kept sweeping behind it, and strong winds blew up...

The half-elf girl magician, who was guarded by the paladin, held her staff forward with both hands and said in a trembling voice:

"You, you, you don't want to eat us, do you? I, I haven't showered for half a month, it doesn't taste good at all!"

The young paladin nervously raised his shield to guard the front, but after hearing the words of the "giant beast", he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the captain beside him.

The middle-aged captain's face turned black at this time, and he didn't know whether he was feeling powerless because of the status quo, or regretting his previous decision to "move on"...

"Eat it?"

The 'Giant Beast' tilted his head, as if he was a little confused by the words of the half-elf girl.

"Ah, that's right! I forgot. In the eyes of the Gaia species, the way I am now is indeed a terrifying existence of a huge monster..."

As he said that, the golden light in the eyes of the "giant beast" shone brightly, and his almost substantive gaze swept across the bodies of the three of them, making the three of them shiver.

"Finally, I have come into contact with the blood of humans and elves, and can perform form transformation..."

Between the pure white scales on the giant beast's body, there was a dazzling white light, and the light quickly covered the whole body of the giant beast, turning it into a ball of light that could not be seen clearly.

The three of them closed their eyes subconsciously, and when they opened them again, the light cluster had shrunk to a size slightly larger than that of an adult.

The white light dissipated together with the terrifying coercion, revealing a human figure.

"The long-lost humanoid body, the movements are a bit rusty... Before you figure out the external situation, let's make do with it, so as not to be slaughtered as a magic material. After all, I'm just a 117-year-old, underage young dragon. .”

Under the dull eyes of the three, a male half-elf in a white burqa with white hair and golden pupils came out of the white light and was moving his unskilled body.

The half-elf girl's ears trembled suddenly, and she asked expectantly:
"You... are you a senior who returned to the blood of the high elves?"

The white-haired "half-elf" man and the girl's two companions looked at her at the same time, and the half-elf girl quickly explained:

"I, I heard from my grandmother before that every high elf can perform the perfect transformation technique once in a lifetime, so that he can obtain the ability to perfectly change form with a certain fixed creature..."

Hearing this, the two companions also showed expectant expressions.

If this is the case, then things will be much easier. It is better to face a powerful high elf than a "dragon".

Even, they have combined the words of this "high elf" to figure out the reason why he appeared here:

Being sealed, he can only exist in the form of a "giant dragon", unable to leave the dungeon, he can only drive out all the monsters, and wait for the humans and elves to enter here to help him break the seal...

However, the imagination of the three adventurers did not last long, and the "half-elf" man ended their fantasy.

"High elves can also perform perfect form transformation? This is interesting information... But I am not an elf, didn't you guess right just now? I am a dragon!"

While speaking, the shadow of the man who claimed to be a giant dragon dragged back and forth, and finally swelled into the shape of a giant beast on the tall stone wall behind him. At the same time, his restrained momentum tended to spread again.

The faces of the three adventurers suddenly turned pale.

As if realizing that he had frightened the three of them, the man put away his arrogance the next moment, smiled and said to the uneasy three:

"So, let me introduce myself. My name is Adrian. As you can see, I am a giant dragon."

……

Half a day later, at the entrance of the maze of the nine-story dungeon, in a dilapidated abandoned castle.

Adrian, who tied his long white hair behind his head, looked at the forest beyond the castle with interest, and said:
"That is to say, the two countries that are now connected to the Great Murion Forest are currently at war, and all the commissions issued by the Eastern Adventurer's Guild are related to this war, and you are unwilling to participate in war-related commissions. That's why I chose to try my luck in the depths of the forest, and finally found this dungeon?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Adrian."

The three adventurers stood behind him, looking nervous.

"The Behemoth kingdom with the giant dragon as its totem is the defender of this war?"

"It's just a suspected dragon, maybe it's just a creature they imagined..." the half-elf girl said quickly.

Adrian glanced at her, the girl was too scared to speak, and the young paladin took up the topic:

"Last year, the princess of Behemoth publicly humiliated the eldest son of Grand Duke Griffin in Griffinto, the capital of Griffin. Grand Duke Griffin used this as an excuse to give Behemoth The spring plowing in the south of Behemoth was interrupted, and several towns have even been occupied by Griffin..."

"Hmph..." Adrian looked disdainful.

"It's really a simple and rude reason for the invasion. He even chose to launch the invasion during spring plowing, so that the other party's food supply for the next year will be insufficient... This Grand Duke Griffin seems to be plotting more than just a few towns."

As a real dragon, regardless of whether the statement about the Behemoth totem is true or not, Adrian still has a preconceived impression of this country.

"That..." The middle-aged uncle captain asked cautiously: "Master Adrian, are you planning to participate in this war?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?"

Adrian's unfriendly attitude made the three of them dare not say anything more

Seeing this, Adrian didn't say anything more, and waved to them:
"Forget it, let's go! For the sake of opening the seal for me, I won't make things difficult for you."

If the three of them are granted amnesty, after thanking them, they will leave this place that they have listed in the top of the list of "dangerous places that they will never go to".

"but……"

Adrian suddenly added:
"My understanding of this world is limited to your descriptions, and I don't know what the upper class of this world thinks of the Dragon Clan... So, to be on the safe side, in order not to expose this place, I ask you all before leaving." By the way, forget about this memory."

After finishing speaking, Adrian turned to look at them under the terrified eyes of the three.

I saw Adrian's eyes, which instantly returned to the dark golden vertical pupils of the dragon form, emitting a faint light. The three adventurers couldn't control themselves, and looked at Adrian's pupils actively ...

After a long time, the three people who were unaware of the missing part of their memory drifted away and completely disappeared from Adrian's sight.

There was no one around, and Adrian stretched his waist.

"It's finally out!"

With a little force on his feet, Adrian's body was wrapped by an invisible force, continuously lifted upwards, and finally hovered in mid-air above the abandoned castle.

The high-altitude airflow made the only thin white burqa on Adrian's body fluttering. Adrian looked around at the vast forest named "Mulion", and then looked down at the lonely place under his feet. The abandoned castle standing in the big forest said to itself:
"This is my birthplace? It's really hidden enough. After I broke out of the dragon egg, I grew up to a young dragon state simply by absorbing the magic power of the earth. Only then did someone find this place and open the seal..."

Adrian has never left the dungeon below since he was born until not long ago!
As for why an intelligent creature that grew up in a dark dungeon and had no contact with society and communicable objects showed such a wealth of wisdom and emotion, it was not because Adrian was born with knowledge or passed down memories, but rather Because of:

Adrian is a time traveler, a member of the army of time travel from the mysterious east on a certain blue planet...

"If time travel is an option, I would prefer to get an identity that can quickly integrate into this world, rather than becoming a dungeon master who nests in such a shitty place! Moreover, I have to repel an intelligent creature once." Only after the invaders can we leave the room on the bottom floor..."

In fact, although the initial imagination of the three adventurers about Adrian was outrageously wrong, there is one thing that they guessed right by mistake, that is, Adrian was indeed trapped in the dungeon and could not leave.

Adrian was not free until they entered the final room of the dungeon and unintentionally broke some indescribable restriction...

"However, it's not a loss to cross into a giant dragon. At least I'm out now! The days to come will be long, and the hundred-year-long 'confinement' before is just a small tribulation before happiness comes. Well! Anyway, the lifespan of the dragon is long enough..."

Adrian, who was a patient of dragon cancer in his previous life, said that the only thing he was satisfied with about his time travel was that he was reincarnated as a "giant dragon". It's worth the journey!
Anyway, in his previous life, he was a lonely person whose parents died early. He could leave the suffocating modern society and be reincarnated in a different world as a mythical creature that poked his G-spot hard. It's good enough for him...

"Speaking of which, after transmigrating, I could only sleep all the time as a dragon egg. After breaking out of the shell, I could only sleep every day because I couldn't leave the dungeon master's room... As a giant dragon, I haven't even Really fly!"

Adrian, who was hovering in mid-air by relying on instinct to communicate with the magic power of the surrounding elements, suddenly opened his arms wide and took a deep breath.

The white light lit up again and formed a ball of light outside Adrian's body. The ball of light grew bigger and bigger until it was nearly the size of the abandoned castle below, and then slowly dissipated, revealing a pure white dragon with a fully stretched body.

call!
The wide and thick fleshy wings of the pure white dragon stretched out to both sides to the maximum, covering a large area of ​​the sky, making the entire abandoned castle shrouded in a huge shadow.

The huge white wings fluttered continuously, and the pure white dragon flew into the distance in the blink of an eye, hovering over the castle in a circle with a huge range.

The flying dragon raised its head to the sky, opened its kiss, and uttered a low and long dragon chant:
"Roar!!!"

All of a sudden, countless birds and beasts scattered in the forest, and some weak animals even trembled under the dragon's roar, unable to move.

Tens of thousands of years later, the mythical creature that ruled the world of Ayla—a giant dragon—was extremely powerful a long time ago,
On this day in 3326 of the third era, over the unknown abandoned castle in the depths of the Mullion forest, the roar of the giant dragon that shocked the world once again rang out.
Announced to the world, the return of the king.

This story is purely fictitious, and if there are similarities, it is for reference. In addition, a large number of settings in this book are based on the adaptation of the dnd system, which is quite different from the original setting in all aspects.

Note 1: [Drake, Flying Dragon, Giant Dragon] Drake refers to a wingless dragon (Drake), Wyvern refers to a Wyvern of a flying dragon, and a dragon generally refers to a dragon (Dragon) + a giant dragon (Wyrm).

　【Dragon Beast, Flying Dragon, Dragon and Giant Dragon】

　　In the classification of western dragons, the giant dragon/ancient dragon (Wyrm) is the oldest and most powerful group of ancestors, then the four-legged and two-winged dragon (Dragon), and then the two-footed and two-winged dragon (Wyvern) , the lowest being the smaller Drake;
　　In addition, in various literatures, the setting of the purest western dragon/ancient dragon (Wyrm) is actually very, very similar to the description of Chinese dragons (if you are interested, you can find out), but in this book, the Wyrm (Wyrm) ) form setting, will more adopt the dragon (Dragon) setting of the four clans of wings.
