Chapter 339 Dragon Vein Kobold
Chapter 339 Dragon Vein Kobold
The enthusiasm for the enthronement was mostly dispersed in an instant. The lord walked in front with a gait of a dragon and a tiger, his face heavy, and a row of leaders of Gaoya Fort followed closely behind him, not daring to breathe.
Although the kobold Neil did not participate in the battle, everyone knew that after he learned the spell, his leader valued him very much and even cancelled his slave status and made him a citizen of High Cliff Castle, managing all the kobold slaves in High Cliff Castle.
The team leader in charge of agriculture lived in a wooden house in the settlement area on the hill of Gaoyabao.
When everyone rushed in with the cold wind, two female dog-headed people wearing thick woolen coats were standing at the door. Their scales were very smooth and tender. They should be young. Compared with humans, they were just adults.
The two female kobolds looked at the group of big shots coming and immediately knelt down in panic, “Sir…”
Before he could kneel down, Mir was helped up by the lord’s signal, “Old Neil is in there, right?”
“Yes, sir.” The two female kobolds nodded and couldn’t help shedding tears: “Neil is not far from returning to the embrace of the God of the Wilderness.”
“You wait here, Mil and I will go in together.” After giving orders to everyone, the lord pushed open the door and walked in alone. He saw the old dog-headed man lying on the bed at a glance.
The tiny scales on the other person’s body had turned white, and his skin was wrinkled like a man in his seventies or eighties. His eyes were lifeless, and he looked gloomy.
Levi knew that this was a sign that his lifespan had reached its limit and his life force was about to die out.
“Sir.” The other person wanted to get up from the bed, but was stopped by Levi.
“I remember that you, old Neil, are only in your thirties, less than forty years old? And as far as I know, the lifespan of a kobold should be similar to that of an ordinary human.” Levi sat down on the chair that Mil pulled over and asked.
“My Lord, I am honored that you still remember my age.” The old dog-headed man smiled bitterly: “But how can a wilderness person who grew up in such a harsh environment live so long?”
“If you hadn’t had mercy on a poor and helpless wilderness person like me, I would have died in the wilderness last winter.”
“I’m so sorry I couldn’t attend your wedding. I just collapsed on the bed.”
Old Neil looked painful. Although he had sensed that his life was coming to an end, he did not expect it to come so soon.
When the first ray of sunlight shone in through the window, it wanted to get up, wash up and attend the wedding of the Lord of Highcliff Castle as usual, but it didn’t expect that it had no strength in its body. It began to panic, but when it saw the two female kobolds next to it, it gradually felt relieved.
“I pardon your actions this time.” Levi waved his hand.
He finally understood that theoretical lifespan and actual lifespan are two different things. If a kobold is pampered since childhood, he can live for sixty or seventy years. However, growing up in the harsh environment of the wilderness, almost no one can live to the theoretical lifespan.
“My lord, I have done many wrong things in my life.” The old kobold’s voice began to calm down. At this moment, it seemed that it was no longer a poor kobold in the wilderness. “Whether it was robbing a caravan with a group of wilderness bandits or robbing some weak tribes, the thing I regret least is robbing your caravan.”
“Because before this, I didn’t know what my goal was. It seemed like I just lived for the sake of living.”
“But after I met you, everything about me changed. I no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold, and I don’t have to worry about whether I will be eaten by wild beasts tomorrow.”
“But from now on, I may not be able to continue to do things for you.”
At this moment, Old Neil said everything he wanted to say in his heart, which was exactly what he had wanted to say for a long time.
Although the past is hard to recall, at least the ending is worth it.
My Lord, you didn’t expect that this dog-headed man had such deep insights. No wonder they say that a dying man’s words are good.
“The two female ogres outside the door are pregnant, right?” Levi asked.
He was not blind. The stomachs of the two dog-headed men were obviously bulging a lot. As an elemental user, he could easily feel that there was a tiny life growing inside.
“That’s right, sir. That… that’s my child.” Old Neil seemed unusually embarrassed.
After all, at this age, it is still indulgent and dissolute all day long.
“I promise that your descendants will live as subjects in Gaoya Castle and won’t have to worry about not having enough food and clothes.” Levi said slowly.
“Sir.” When Old Neil felt his eyes gradually filling up with warm tears, the familiar voice interrupted him again.
“but……”
Levi said in a deep voice:
“Old Neil, you didn’t complete the task I assigned to you. To this day, no one in High Cliff Castle has learned the art of soil fertility, so I have to punish you.”
Hearing this, the dog-headed man’s bright expression gradually dimmed again, his lips kept trembling, and he wanted to say something but couldn’t.
“I will punish you and make you the head of the agronomy team at Highcliff Castle, and you will serve me until the sun sets forever and the ocean dries up!” the lord said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the two female kobolds and Old Neil were stunned at the same time.
“But sir, my life span…”
“Just tell me if you are willing or not?” Levi took out a palm-sized bottle filled with silver liquid, which shone like stars in the sun.
This is the blood of the dragon, which is also the most top-notch magical material in the magic world.
There are countless legends about it. Whether it is bathing in dragon blood or using it to make magic potions, it can give people unimaginable power. In the final analysis, they are all promoting the power and preciousness of dragon blood.
You should know that from ancient times to the present, kobolds have been claiming that they contain faint dragon blood and are also descendants of dragons. Occasionally, one or two lucky people will appear in the huge group. They are born as dragon-veined kobolds and are born to be kobold warlocks who control spells.
Old Neil was a kobold, so when he saw the bottle full of liquid in the lord’s hand, he naturally knew that it contained dragon blood!
According to the legend of the Kobolds, as long as they bathe in dragon blood, they can easily become Dragon Vein Kobolds and master powerful spells. Most importantly, their lifespan can be extended to nearly two hundred years from now on!
“Yes! I do!” it said ecstatically.
“I, Neil, swear that from now on I will serve you forever, until my flesh and blood are burned by the scorching sun and my soul falls into the bottomless abyss!”
It swore the oath smoothly, and there was more vitality in it, no longer the lifeless look just now.
“Mir, go find a wooden basin and remember to fill it half full of water.” The lord snapped his fingers.
He doesn’t know how to use dragon blood, but others know!
If there is anyone in the world who knows dragons better, it must be the dragons themselves. Excluding Sophia, the young dragon who knows nothing, there happens to be an old dragon in Highcliff Castle who has lived for who knows how many years.
Under the naked threat, the red dragon soul of Degen was forced to spill all the beans under the eaves of the dragon. After listening, the lord was also shocked and could only sigh that the red dragon was worthy of being the leader of the five evil dragons.
Because the opponent also often uses dragon blood to strengthen his own followers, but not his own blood, but other dragons’ blood. The method is also simple and effective.
Soon, Mir brought over a wooden basin, which was half filled with water.
Placing the wooden basin in the middle of the room, Levi opened the bottle cap and dripped a few drops of dragon’s blood into the basin. As if it were contagious, the whole basin of clear water instantly turned bright silver, and the cold water began to boil.
Although Sophia is still just a young dragon, her blood is not something an old kobold can tolerate, so it needs to be diluted so that old Neil can absorb it slowly.
This guy Degen’s method was very rough. He said that he had simply torn other dragons apart from the sky and poured dragon blood on their heads. Those who could bear it would naturally obtain the dragon veins and power, and those who could not bear it would die.
It perfectly reflects the survival of the fittest.
Old Neil was just an old dog-headed man with a blade of one and a half, and Mil put him into the barrel by himself.
“what!”
The moment the other party entered, he started screaming.
Levi frowned, wondering if this method was wrong. However, when he saw the old dog-headed man gritting his teeth and persevering, and the water that had turned silver in the wood gradually became lighter and lighter, he knew that it was a success.
I heard from Degen that bathing directly in dragon blood is the least efficient method and it takes a lot of time, but there is no other way.
Gaoya Castle is just a rural territory, where there are so many profound secret techniques to use.
However, things were on the right track, so there was no need for him to stay here. He waved his hand and said, “Mir, you stay here and watch for a while. If the water becomes clear, add a few more drops until Old Neil completely possesses the dragon vein.”
He was worried about letting others guard it. After all, this matter not only concerned Old Neil, but also whether the barbarians could unlock the seventh-level Dragon Vein Berserker promotion route.
……
As night falls and the last ray of sunset glow in the sky is swallowed up by darkness, the entire wilderness begins to fall silent, like a giant beast crawling in the darkness.
The bright moon gradually rises and hangs in the sky like a big, bright lantern, casting a touch of light on this white world, making this world look even more dreamy.
In the center of the square of Gaoyabao, under an unknown giant tree that was grown by Buji and was so thick that it took three people to hug it, a dozen thick logs were used to build a tower-shaped bonfire. The crackling sound was like a long music coming late at night, and the flames dancing in the wind were like fire elves dancing in unison.
Long tables almost filled the entire square, and they were filled with oak glasses filled with bright red wine. Cows and sheep were placed on the grill, and drops of hot fat dripped from them under the burning flames.
A dozen shirtless young Fed blacksmiths came to the open space carrying a furnace. They scooped out red-hot molten iron from the furnace and threw it into the air. They held the flower sticks with their muscular arms and hit it hard.
Bang! —The sound of the blow was like a flash of lightning across the night sky.
In an instant, billions of sparks burst out like a volcanic eruption, and golden and red interwoven streams of light shot straight into the sky, pouring down like a meteor shower, weaving a net of fire in the dark night.
The rain of fire fell from the sky like a waterfall, splashing fine golden light when it hit the ground, just like fireflies covering the ground.
As night fell and the fireworks had not yet lit, a brilliant galaxy suddenly exploded between heaven and earth.
The heat wave, accompanied by the smell of iron, blew towards them. The country bumpkins in Gaoyabao had never seen such a magnificent sight before, and their eyes were fixed on the scorching beauty.
The fire reflected the amazement and excitement of the crowd, and there was only a boiling golden red between heaven and earth.
“How spectacular! I have never seen such a sight in Bailiu City.” Knight Sikai’s face was filled with shock, and the look in his eyes was full of admiration for someone.
He heard that this activity was the idea of the Lord of Highcliff Castle.
“I didn’t expect that this rough lord could come up with such a beautiful event.” Miriel said calmly, but anyone could tell that the words were terribly sour, as if he had eaten two pounds of lemons.
As a half-elf, she not only inherited the elves’ beauty, but also the elves’ appreciation of beauty. Even so, she could not find any flaws in it.
And this was something someone came up with specifically for his new wife, so it’s no wonder Miriel was jealous.
As molten iron and sweat interweave, sparks fly and the smell of iron and blood fills the air between heaven and earth.
The people of Gaoyabao gathered around the bonfire, dancing wildly in the reflection of the iron flowers.
“Come on, Gus, have another drink. We may be even in a duel, but I’m going to get you drunk!”
“Beautiful girls, who would like to dance with an old man like me?”
“Hey, young people, let’s just sip a few glasses. We are old and we would have drunk them all in the past.”
“Aunt Norma, this bear paw is so good!”
……
Zamanzi found Centaurgus and vowed to get back at him over alcohol. He refused to give up even when he was drunk. Old man Sam picked up a bright red flower from somewhere and stuck it on his head. He looked so showy that the girls were so scared that they hid behind their fathers.
Orlak and Leighton sipped their wine and smiled at the big-bellied men who were drinking with their arms around each other.
Aixilu ignored everything and just ate the sumptuous food in front of her. She had never eaten such delicious food before. Usually in the palace, she either had black bread or various sweet potatoes.
The scene was extremely lively, with everyone’s face filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts, except for two people who did not join in.
Under the bright moonlight, the lord stood on the roof holding Christina in his arms, facing the gentle night breeze and watching the flickering iron flowers.
“Darling, aren’t you going to drink with them?” Even though this was not the first time she had been called that, Tina still couldn’t hide her shyness.
“Tonight is a time that belongs exclusively to the two of us.” Levi looked down at the girl who had buried her head in his chest and laughed three times, “Hahaha, even the king of heaven can’t take this away from you!”
After saying this, he picked up Tina, jumped off the roof, and strode towards the newly decorated bedroom with a clear look in his eyes.
Tina knew what was going to happen next. Aunt Fede and the others had told her thousands of times in advance, so her face turned red like a ripe apple.
As the lord locked the door and shut out the world, and the lights went out, only one poem could describe the scene:
Twenty-eight beauties’ human body looks like crispy cakes
The staff on the waist beats the yellow dragon.
