Caesar chose the first, second, and fifth rewards.
After confirming.
A mysterious power appeared in his Red Dragon body, a tingling sensation like waves crashing on the shore. It was a dual pleasure from both body and soul, lasting for over half an hour before gradually disappearing.
Boom!
In an instant, Caesar felt waves of intense drowsiness wash over him.
This drowsiness was similar to the last time he grew from the juvenile Dragon stage to the adolescent stage; that slumber had greatly enhanced his power, and this time the feeling was even more intense than before.
He fought against the drowsiness.
He glanced at the spell scroll floating before him. It was an incredibly exquisite piece of paper, engraved with many purple runes, occasionally flashing with blue lightning. Caesar swallowed it in one gulp.
The structure of a Dragon's tongue is quite magical.
It can perform many incredible bends, more flexible than a Human finger. Many Dragons like to wrap their prized treasures with their tongues, storing them away to carry with them.
This was a very powerful seven-ring spell.
Should Caesar encounter an insurmountable enemy, what he would breathe out then wouldn't be fiery Dragon breath, but the seven-ring spell, Inferno of Furious Thunder. The enemy's expression at that moment would surely be quite spectacular.
He summoned Qing Yu.
He gave her a few simple instructions: help take care of Diana and watch over the territory.
And so.
Caesar plunged into his Dragon lair.
The crackling hot lava gave him an immensely enjoyable feeling, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace. The incredibly warm environment allowed him to comfortably close his Dragon eyes.
High-temperature climates are the favorite of Red Dragons.
It allows Red Dragons to grow well, and during slumber, extremely high temperatures are also a powerful barrier.
Endless drowsiness swept over him.
Caesar could no longer hold on and soon fell into a deep sleep.
....
Silver Moon Kingdom.
One of the thirteen kingdoms on the Emerald Continent, a kingdom with relatively low overall national strength. A year ago, due to Duke Zijin's rebellion, the actual ruler of this country had changed.
The Royal Capital, Silver Moon City.
This was the largest and most prosperous city in the Silver Moon Kingdom.
After occupying the Royal Capital, Silver Moon City, Duke Zijin quickly moved most of his family's forces there, taking control of the city. His powerful legions suppressed all dissent, causing more and more noble factions to choose submission.
Boom!
The Royal Palace's backyard.
With a loud bang, a rockery over ten meters high was directly split in half.
Duke Zijin, wearing a golden cloak, held a silver greatsword that pulsed with surging power. However, subtly emanating from this power was a hint of extreme wickedness.
'Is there still no news of Princess Diana?'
Duke Zijin lowered the silver greatsword in his hand and asked the Knight behind him nonchalantly.
The Knight felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The terrifying aura emanating from Duke Zijin made even him, a peak sixth-tier Lightning Knight, feel very suppressed. He took a deep breath and said, 'According to intelligence, Princess Diana's last known whereabouts were in the Karl Mountains. At that time, Cassius led a team of Griffon Knights to search for Princess Diana's trace, but no news ever came back. It's unclear whether it was due to monsters or if Princess Diana still held a trump card from the royal family.'
Hearing the Knight's voice.
A hint of gloom flashed in Duke Zijin's eyes.
He had almost completely slaughtered the Silver Moon Kingdom's royal family. Apart from a royal puppet placed on the throne, only Princess Diana had luckily escaped.
At the time, he was busy clearing out the kingdom's noble factions.
He didn't pay too much attention.
But he still sent a mid-tier Griffon Knight, along with quite a few four-ring and five-ring magic scrolls to prevent accidents. He didn't expect the final news to still be mission failure.
The Knight cautiously glanced at Duke Zijin, 'Furthermore, according to the information from our informant in the Morning Star Kingdom, Princess Diana did not seek help from the Morning Star Kingdom either.'
Morning Star Kingdom.
This was a country more powerful than the Silver Moon Kingdom, with over 800,000 square kilometers of territory. Although slightly smaller than the Silver Moon Kingdom's territory, its various resources were quite abundant. Just on the surface, there were three High-ranking Spellcasters and over ten High-ranking Warriors.
As for the Silver Moon Kingdom.
With the death of the former court old Mage, there are currently no High-ranking Spellcasters. Although High-ranking Warriors also possess powerful combat strength, their deterrent power is far less than that of High-ranking Spellcasters.
A kingdom's High-ranking Mage, as long as they spend a large amount of magical materials to build their own exclusive Mage Tower, would not fear even if over ten High-ranking professionals came together to attack the kingdom. In fact, if the time dragged on, they might even be directly counter-killed by the High-ranking Mage.
In Erlan World.
Such things often happen. The long and exciting history is not lacking in miracles, and Spellcasters are often the ones most likely to create miracles.
The distance between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Morning Star Kingdom was not far.
However, in between lay endless mountain ranges, namely the Karl Mountains, a paradise filled with large beasts, fierce species, magical creatures, intelligent beings, and wilderness races. This was also the reason why the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Morning Star Kingdom could coexist peacefully.
Once a campaign was launched.
The side initiating the war would first have to face the endless onslaught of monsters from the Karl Mountains. Considering this factor, no one was willing to easily start a war and suffer losses to their own forces.
At that time.
Diana led the royal Knight order through the Karl Mountains precisely to reach the Morning Star Kingdom, where Duke Zijin's forces would not pose a significant threat to her.
Of course.
Now she had a better option.
Being under the protection of a Red Dragon and becoming the mistress of a monster territory, although she couldn't experience the bustle of the Human Kingdom, her life was very fulfilling. At least with Caesar's company, she was very happy every day and had naturally long since dismissed the idea of going to the Morning Star Kingdom.
'Since she has disappeared, there will always be a day when she reappears, or perhaps that Princess has long since died in the mouth of a monster. From now on, there's no need to waste manpower on her.'
Duke Zijin said indifferently.
His words were filled with strong confidence. Since making a deal with that great being and sacrificing the royal bloodline of the Silver Moon Kingdom, his power had become even more terrifying.
The royal bloodline of any kingdom is not simple.
It is said to possess the bloodline of a God.
No one knows the truth, but even if these kingdoms' bloodlines have been proven by time, and even if the royal family has declined for a period, they will always usher in a period of prosperity.
After Duke Zijin sacrificed most of the declining royal descendants of the Silver Moon Kingdom, his power directly surged from the seventh tier to the ninth tier, just one step away from Legendary!
Especially that peculiar power.
It gave Duke Zijin strong confidence; even a High-ranking Spellcaster would definitely not be his opponent.
