Make the dragon great again

Chapter 53 The Submission of the Lizardman Clan
Compared with the surface and the first eight floors underground, the ninth floor of the dungeon has not changed much from before.

[Hall of Mastery] is the name of this floor. The dragon egg that conceived Adrian was placed here for an unknown number of years, until 117 years ago, when a young pure white dragon broke out of its shell.

At the end of the [Hall of Domination] is a flat-topped pyramid-shaped high platform. This is the place where the dragon egg was placed, the place where the energy core of the dungeon is connected, and it is also the "throne" of Adrian today.

The pure white dragon shrank to a wingspan of about 20 meters, perched on the five-meter-high "throne", looked down at the "visitors", and said:

"Although it's too late to say it now, I, the pure white dragon Adrian, welcome everyone to my 'castle'."

Standing in front of the "throne" at this time were five young adventurers including Gleinne and Anna, Sally and Karen, Rex and Coleman, the lizardman patriarch and the old priest, and Eddie. The lords of all floors of dungeons such as Mongoose and Alvarez.

It is worth noting that William, who had already made an oath to honor Adrian as suzerain, consciously stood behind Edmund and the others...

"The great Lord Adrian..."

Walto, the old priest of the lizard people, and the patriarch, Wahag, walked to the "throne" first, bowed down together and said to Adrian:

"The Tomahawk Lizardmen Tribe is willing to offer their loyalty to the great dragon. I implore Lord Adrian to accept our allegiance and allow our family to migrate to this dungeon!"

The two lizardmen made a strange movement. Adrian learned from the knowledge inherited from the bronze dragon Kunas that this is the oldest and highest-standard etiquette of the lizardmen, which represents their willingness to be worshipped. give everything.

Adrian can understand the mentality of these lizardmen at this time.

First of all, for the lizard people, the giant dragon is the god they believe in, and this belief has not changed after thousands of years of historical changes. In the Dragon Age, it is understandable that these lizardmen would take the initiative to surrender;
On the other hand, the Bronze Dragon, who used to be the patron saint of the lizard people for generations, had his entire family tomb moved by Adrian to the [Dragon Tomb] on the eighth floor of the dungeon, and even the ancestor spirits of the lizard people followed suit. After arriving here, the lizard people can only come here if they want to continue their ten thousand-year tradition, worship their ancestors and worship the dragon tomb...

Adrian really wanted to bring this lizardman tribe under his command, but he didn't plan to let them be completely transferred to the dungeon for the time being.

I saw Adrian's dragon head lightly jawed, and said:
"I accept your loyalty. However, you don't need to migrate here for the time being. I have some things that I need your help to do."

Walto and Wahag buried their heads a little lower, and said with the utmost respect:
"Follow your will, Lord Adrian."

Seeing the disappointment of the two, Adrian said with a smile:

"I know what you are thinking, don't worry, every season changes, you can choose the best young lizardmen in the tribe to meet me, and I will give them strength, just like now..."

While talking, the pure white dragon stared at the two lizard men below, the dark gold vertical pupil shrank slightly, and a circle of golden rune arrays appeared in front of his line of sight out of thin air. From Adrian's own perspective, this circle of runes happened to be "Lock" two Lizardmen in it.

This is a convenient method of granting dragonborn power in the knowledge inherited by Kunas. It is called [gift of the dragon], and it is only effective for creatures with dragon blood.

Although this method is not as powerful as giving source blood directly, and the room for growth is not high, but because the consumption of source blood is extremely low, it is a very economical means to improve the strength of the family.

——After the end of the Age of Gods and the decline of the dragon clan, the remaining giant dragons who were forced to live in the land of Sirias researched many "crooked methods" to enhance the power of the dragon clan. The inferior dragons and dragon descendants were born during this period Products, methods such as [Gift of the Dragon] are derivative products...

Wahag and the old priest only felt that the blood in their bodies was boiling uncontrollably, and an unspeakable powerful force poured into their bodies from the outside, making the aura they emitted quickly become stronger.

A moment later, Wahag, whose physique was raised by another layer, with more well-proportioned and refined muscles, and Walto, who had changed from a stooped body to a straight waist and bulging muscles, were pleasantly surprised to feel the surging power in his body, and once again faced Adrian bowed down and thanked:
"Thank you Lord Adrian for your gift, let us be promoted to half-dragons, and the Tomahawk tribe will always keep our oath of allegiance to you!"

"I accept your loyalty, now, let's retreat to the ordinary."

When the lizard man retreated to the side and consciously walked to Edmund's side, Adrian also summed up the feeling of using the [gift of the dragon] just now in his heart:

'In general, the source blood consumed is equivalent to one-fifteenth of a normal drop of source blood. Under the premise that ordinary dragons cannot get feedback from the void, this level of source blood consumption can normally eat and drink for a normal adult dragon. can make it up;
It’s no wonder that in the history of Sirias Continent, there were so many dragon descendants who awakened their power before the middle of the second era, but after the [Battle of the Misty Sea], most of the dragon descendant families and dragon descendant groups were not affected. However, the number of dragon descendants who have awakened their bloodline power has dropped sharply. In fact, many of the dragon descendants who have awakened before have received a trace of source blood...'

Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help looking at Anna and William. In this era when the giant dragon has disappeared for more than 5000 years and the blood of the dragon descendants is constantly diluted, two dragon descendants with awakened blood were born at the same time , how low is the probability of such a coincidence happening?
And what makes Adrian speechless the most is that William, one of the two, not long ago, a major mid-term goal of his life, turned out to be to wash away this blood...

At this time, the energy fluctuations emanating from the two lizardmen can be easily judged by others as long as they feel a little bit. They have reached the third level of strength. Before that, they were only at the second level of strength.

This discovery made Sally and other young adventurers who were still a little apprehensive widen their eyes, and their anxiety gradually turned into anticipation.

As dragon descendants who have awakened the power of their blood, Anna and William can more clearly sense the changes that have occurred in the two lizardmen, and their eyes shine brightly.

Especially William, at this moment he finally understood what a right thing he had done when he signed the contract with Adrian.

'Although I paid for my dignity, I was originally a clown who was ridiculed and had no dignity in the principality... I surrendered to a powerful dragon, and maybe what I will get, will be the entire principality. respect! '

William's eyes flickered, and he made a secret decision to make Rex, who noticed this scene, think about it. As for Coleman, he couldn't notice the change in the atmosphere as usual...

After the matter of the lizard people came to an end, Grainy took a few steps forward and gave a simple greeting to the pure white dragon who looked down at everyone.

——As for whether Adrian's attitude is arrogant or not, no one would think so, because he is indeed qualified to put himself above others, and even Granny has no objection to this.

"Dear Your Excellency Adrian, we have been invited to visit."

Under the leadership of Glenn, Anna, Sally and six other people also expressed their greetings to Adrian.

The emotions of the six people are a bit complicated at this time. How could they not know that it was 'Mr. Ed' who led them into this dungeon, made them go through a series of dangerous events and lost two companions?Even the one who made those two disappear was probably 'Mr. Ed' himself...

However, it is amazing that the six people are not angry about this.

Maybe it’s because of the original experience, in retrospect, it’s actually not dangerous, and Steven and John who “disappeared” at that time were originally relatively annoying in the team, and others were not very happy when they first joined guy;
In addition, since the journey, the image of 'Mr. Ed' with a gentle personality, strong strength, and profound knowledge has penetrated into their hearts, and several people have established a certain degree of trust in him, so they are more willing to believe that Mr. Ed has something to say. That's why it's done.

Of course, whether there is a subconscious unwillingness of the weak to fight against the strong, and how effective Adrian's [Biological Charm] had at the beginning, these questions will not be clear in a while, and No need to figure it out...

"Welcome to your visit. I'm sorry that I needed to deal with some things and neglected you just now."

Adrian properly expressed his apology to this group of "guests" for the incident that he obviously intended to show off to everyone, but pretended to be an important incident.

"Don't worry about it, Your Excellency... Then, please allow me, as the second member of the Supreme Council of the High Tower Forest, to directly get to the point: as a fantasy mythical creature, Your Excellency appeared in the eastern part of the continent and established a dungeon. Is there any purpose in it?"

Grainy's question was very straightforward, and even seemed a little rude, so that the Lich Alvarez, who was always looking for opportunities to express himself after selling his soul, jumped out and shouted:

"You disrespectful person, how dare you be so disrespectful in front of Lord Adrian!"

"Okay, Alvarez, step back."

"...Yes, Lord Adrian."

Adrian looked at Granny again and said:

"Please rest assured, Ma'am, I have no intention of taking the initiative to participate in the disputes between the human race and other Gaia races, and I do have some plans, but this has nothing to do with you, because my consideration object is the other fantasy species, but I can The guarantee is that at least I have no hostility towards you, Gao Tallinn."

Granny narrowed her eyes slightly, and her thoughts quickly turned:

’ He emphasized the word [active], subconsciously telling me: If someone messes with him, will he participate in the disputes among the Gaia species?So did Griffin's invasion of Behemoth offend him?After all, the Behemoth family is a dragonborn family;

In addition, there must be more hidden forces in this dungeon that I have never seen. The Lizardman tribe, Mr. Edmund, and that Lich alone are not weak forces, but they absolutely cannot participate in the fantasy race. strife between
What is this strife between fantasies of which he speaks?Could it be... Is there another natural disaster-like fantasy war about to happen? '

……

To be continued.

Note 1: Among the three adventurers who first appeared, the name of the young paladin was originally "John", which was the same as the two unlucky boys in Anna's team, so it was changed to "Yorkson" because he was in It will also appear in subsequent episodes.

Note 2: The previous description of Adrian's body shape was a bit confusing, so let's unify it here: body length 80-, wingspan 80+, height 40+, tail length about 30.
