Warm Dragon

In October of the 5585th year of the Dragon Calendar, the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy was full of harvest and joy.

Under the leadership of the new Grand Duke Russell, the cabinet quickly determined the industrialization strategy of the Volcanic Oasis. All the industrial seedlings cultivated on the Black Fire Land were recruited by Russell to the Volcanic Oasis to cooperate with the Minister of Industry Roland to open many factories.

Lord Charles was arranged by Russell as the assistant to the Minister of Industry and became Roland's deputy, focusing on industrial production.

"Railways, trains, roads, and cars are the most urgent infrastructure." Russell issued an order to his elder brother Roland and Charles.

He knew the truth that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Only by solving the transportation problem and allowing the population to move can the benefits of technology be truly brought to any place, even a remote small manor. Only by using transportation to communicate what you have and what you don't have and mutual benefit can you promote commercial prosperity.

Only when business prospers can industrial products be digested and industrialization can be fed back.

Of course.

Russell could not provide much help for the development of industrialization. He could only provide a concept, such as telephones, mobile phones, computers, air conditioners, washing machines, etc., and then let the scholars think about it and invent it.

"The humans in Longmian Continent are separated by countless snowfields, and communication is the most inconvenient, but what if there are mobile phones?"

Mobile phones cannot be made in a short time, and landlines will take some time to explore.

But Russell thought of another point, and immediately summoned several great scholars and a group of scholars to come to the Red Castle for a meeting: "Why can sound propagate in the air? Have you ever thought about it... If we find a medium similar to the propagation of sound to transmit information..."

He instilled the concepts of electromagnetic waves and radio into the scholars.

Telephones and mobile phones cannot be made, and even if they are made, a lot of infrastructure is needed to maintain communication.

But the telegraph should be able to be taken.

The scholars were very excited about the concept provided by Russell, and immediately expressed that they would set up a "Thunder Machine" project team.

The so-called Thunder Machine is a machine that uses the magic of the thunder element to transmit sound thousands of miles away - this is Russell's abstract description of electromagnetic waves.

After the establishment of the Thunder Machine Project Team, Russell immediately allocated a huge amount of research funds from the Red Castle. He even arranged for several fantasy beast knights who had contracts with fantasy beasts with thunder attributes to join the Thunder Machine Project Team to cooperate with the great scholars to study "thunder".

The industrial age was unfolding in full swing.

The Flying Dragon Group was not idle either. After Baron Roman arrived at the Red Castle, he immediately organized several knight groups to enter the snowfield from the direction of the Fire Ant Swamp to clear the trade route between the two countries. Then he built a Shadow Flame Scale Tower in the Black Horse Snow Forest.

Use the Shadow Flame Scale Tower to suppress the trade route.

The Shadow Flame Dragon, which has restored its full strength, is no longer afraid of the threat of Shuangda, and Russell is standing behind it.

"The atmosphere of my Grand Duchy has returned to the scene of thirty years ago, when Grand Duke Quentin III was still there... The Dragon Blood Knights were invincible, and the snowfield was our war exploits mine..." A fantasy beast knight stationed in the Black Horse Snow Forest stood on the top of the scale tower, feeling deeply.

"Sir, all this was brought by Grand Duke Russell!" A great knight who was accompanying him said with deep admiration.

The old fantasy beast knight narrowed his eyes to avoid the wind and snow: "Yes, Grand Duke Russell ascended the throne, and everything is back!"

And he.

It was because he saw the new atmosphere of the country that he took on the task of garrisoning the Black Horse Snow Forest despite the hardships. He hoped that after a few years of garrisoning, he could accumulate enough merits and enter Russell's vision and be canonized as a duchy lord.

"Quack!"

Suddenly, a crisp cry came from the sky.

Then a big bird that looked like a two-legged dragon, but also like an owl, flew through the sky and entered the depths of the Black Horse Snow Forest.

"Sir, that is... that is Lord Hape, right?" The great knight exclaimed.

The Magic Beast Knight nodded: "Don't make a fuss, that's Lord Hape, one of His Highness's companions."

"Why is Lord Hape here?"

"When I was stationed here, Lord Welch told me that Lord Hape was training here and asked me to pay more attention." The Magic Beast Knight said, "Obviously, Lord Hape is living here to comprehend the place where the phantom dragon is promoted."

"Comprehend the place where the phantom dragon is promoted, ah, Lord Hape also wants to be promoted to a phantom dragon?" The Knight exclaimed again.

"What's there to be surprised about? Lord Hape was once a pseudo-dragon duo comparable to His Highness Baoli!" The Magic Beast Knight sighed. In the past, the names of the unicorn Baoli and the harpy Hape resounded throughout the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.

He stroked the beard on his chin and continued, "Now that His Highness Baoli has broken the ceiling of the pseudo-dragon, His Excellency Hape is naturally unwilling to be outdone and also wants to be promoted to a phantom dragon."

"Does it practice alone? Isn't Grand Duke Russell accompanying it?"

"Your Highness's partner is naturally compatible with His Highness's personality and temper. Your Highness has worked hard in humble positions by constantly striving. His Excellency Hape has obviously inherited His Highness's will and is also honing himself in the bitter cold!"

"Tsk tsk." The knight exclaimed, "It would be great if I could also contract a phantom beast that knows how to practice on its own in the future."

"Know how to practice on its own? How can I meet such a phantom beast without the dragon's attention!" The phantom beast knight glanced at his contracted phantom beast licking its crotch not far away. It was a canine phantom beast that loved leisure and hated work.

For many years, he had never seen it take the initiative to practice once.

That is why he and the phantom beast could not practice to perfect synchronization of mind and had no chance to start the second transformation.

He was in a trance.

Two months passed, and the new year arrived in the joyful atmosphere of the Dragon Festival.

However, in the garrison of the Black Horse Snow Forest, the knights only ate some heated canned food, drank some ice wine, and prayed to the southeast of the Shadow Flame Volcano, and ended the grandest festival of the year.

"Quack!"

The cry of Hape came from the sky again.

"Sir Hape is really diligent." The phantom beast knight said with emotion, carrying the ice wine pot, "He goes out every morning and returns on time in the evening. The rest of the time is either to comprehend the place where the phantom dragon is promoted, or to hunt in the snowfield."

Pah!

An ice soul bead accurately hit the door of the camp.

A knight picked up the Ice Soul Orb and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the 25th Ice Soul Orb hunted by Lord Hape. With Lord Hape's help, our garrison work is much easier."

The Fantasy Beast Knight curled his lips: "But I can't get much military merit. Two months have passed and I have only collected three Ice Soul Orbs."

"Sir, if there are more snow demons, we can't handle them." Another knight laughed.

The Fantasy Beast Knight rolled his eyes and asked the knight who picked up the Ice Soul Orb: "What's the weather outside? Has the blizzard stopped?"

"It has stopped. The sky has cleared up. The sunset outside is reflected on the clouds, which is very dazzling." The knight said, "Sir, do you want to go out and see the sunset?"

"Let's go!"

The Fantasy Beast Knight carried the wine pot and walked out of the camp, looking at the sunset on the horizon.

Suddenly, he pointed at the sunset and said: "Come and see, is there a small black dot on the sun?"

The knights looked over.

Those with good eyesight noticed the small black dot on the sun, which was still flickering, fading and darkening.

Just as the knights were discussing what this small black dot was.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and the entire Black Horse Snow Forest shook off countless snow, and the war horses also neighed in panic in the stable.

"Earthquake!"
