Chapter 182 - 27: Dragonling Growth; Inverted Knight; The Rock Dragon’s Allegiance (Part 1)
"Very well, what about the three of you? Any opinions?" Sofia looked at the three little green dragons, Geller, Said, and Yulia.
The three little green dragons quickly shook their heads, indicating they had no opinions at all.
Sofia nodded with satisfaction.
In the end, the four little green dragons chose the professions they wanted to learn.
The eldest, Kevin, and the second, Geller, both chose the warrior profession.
The third, Said, chose the knight.
The fifth, Yulia, chose the caster.
"Said, why did you choose the knight profession? Who do you plan to ride? Yourself, perhaps?" The eldest, Kevin, couldn’t help but mock when he saw Said’s choice.
Yulia and Geller were also curious, not understanding what was going on in Said’s mind.
The knight profession emphasizes growing together with a partner, but strong evil dragons often act alone. How many beings can keep up with the growth of a giant dragon?
The speed of power enhancement is one thing, but what about lifespan?
You can’t cultivate a partner only for them to die of old age after one or two hundred years, can you? Without breaking through to legendary status, most beings only have a lifespan of a few hundred years at most, and those exceeding a thousand years are from very powerful species.
"What’s it to you?" Said retorted to Kevin.
Kevin sneered several times, not speaking further.
He was waiting to laugh at Said later.
Without a partner to grow with in the early stages of the knight profession, the speed of power enhancement is quite slow, and some secret techniques can’t be used.
Moreover, at their current state, they don’t have the time or power to go out and find a sufficiently potent demon cub.
Kevin and Geller looked at Said with pity.
Yulia, however, noticed Said’s full confidence and felt uncertain inside,
"Could Said have a way to find a powerful demon cub?"
But how could that be possible... Could there be another way?
Yulia pondered this, but soon had no energy to think more about it as she began the painful process of learning magic.
Among the five-colored dragons, the green dragons have the most comprehensive magical talent. Many young green dragons can master decent magical mastery.
However, starting to learn magic from the dragonling stage is definitely a torment for green dragons.
On the third day of learning vocational knowledge.
Today was the holiday for the four little dragons. Sofia, their teacher, was kind enough to give them a two-day holiday every now and then to rest and relax.
Otherwise, prolonged cultivation and battle might inadvertently distort the psychology of the four little dragons...
In the wind elemental dragon nest, Yulia, resting and sleeping, suddenly heard a slight noise, and her dragon eyes secretly opened a tiny slit to see Said quietly sneaking out of the dragon nest.
Not sleeping, what’s he up to?
Strolling around the dragon castle? What’s there to stroll? Although the dragon castle is continuously constructing some buildings, it has no entertainment facilities, and overall feels very deserted.
Outside the dragon castle, the monster city being constructed is bustling, with tens of thousands of monsters working day and night, but as it’s not yet completed, there’s not much to see.
As for the monster tribe beneath the monster city... the four little dragons are too weak, not allowed to go there.
Though the dragon nest monsters are all subdued under Wudi Dragon Wings, not every monster is bound by a servant contract, and if any monster grows greedy and secretly devours the little green dragons, it’s possible.
As long as a being is intelligent, unless completely controlled, any behavior is entirely unpredictable.
Even holy knights can devolve into evil knights, fanatics can have their faith collapse and become rebels despising the divine spirits—nothing is impossible.
Said left the wind elemental dragon nest room and quietly made his way to a corner of the ink black square.
"Sure enough, Sod didn’t lie to me."
Said watched a group of anxious, expectant slaves in linen clothes being led by a dragon descendant servant towards a massive building on the square.
Said knew what the building was called. In the words of those dragon descendant servants, the oval-shaped building was referred to as the—Land of Transformation.
The chosen slaves or monsters would enter the building to undergo transformation. According to Said’s understanding, it meant receiving the power of the Dragon King.
Although not entirely sure what the Dragon King’s power was, Said knew that all creatures gaining the Dragon King’s power, even the weakest ordinary humans, would have their strengths rapidly enhanced.
And Said’s goal...
Was to choose one from among these slaves as his ’mount’!
"I’m so clever," Said thought with excitement and pride.
Slaves gaining the Dragon King’s power would have a swiftly enhanced strength, and if Said signed a contract with them, making them his ’mount,’ the powerful ’mount’ would also feedback to Said, empowering him as a knight. It worked both ways—a powerful knight could also enhance and elevate the mount.
Most importantly, this way he could gain a loyal helper and a backup power source. (Knights can borrow mounts’ power.)
Said patiently waited as the slaves were led into the Land of Transformation.
About two hours later, slaves dressed in clean clothes, radiating with transformed energy, emerged from the building under the guidance of dragon descendant servants.
