164.Chapter 164 – Meeting a Young Man
Chapter 164 – Just in Time for a Youngster
There was no such thing as the longer a dragon slept, the stronger its talent was, but sleeping long enough often meant that the dragon’s ‘accumulation’ was thicker before it fell asleep.
And this accumulation in slumber would allow them to receive more knowledge from the Dragon’s Inheritance, whether active or passive.
After all, the vast majority of ordinary dragons ended their slumber like a hibernating bear, exhausted of body fat and hard-woken by ‘starvation’.
And like David who slept for seven long years when he was still in his infancy, Nymphadora had never heard of it in the Dragon’s Inheritance, not to mention having seen it.
That number was basically in the realm of adult dragons, like Davy’s mom, the Red Calamity Pavla.
After all, there weren’t many dragons in their entire youth that had seven years in total to spend like that.
At the moment, although the Davy in front of her was already skinny, the bone size of his entire body was already vaguely close to that of a young green dragon like her.
The size of the red dragon compared to the other five-colored dragons would have been on the larger side of a size, juvenile can step into the category of large creatures, but when he witnessed it, still have a kind of inexplicable sigh of relief.
This is, the innate gap ah.
But this red dragon in front of him, even if it was placed in the red dragon that was an anomaly among the five-colored dragons, it was still the anomaly among the anomalies, the genius among the geniuses.
“Seven years.” David, who heard this number on the other end, also let out a long sigh of relief.
This number was a bit beyond the original expectations, but considering that the five years of his dragon life in the fledgling stage was basically spent in his sleep, it didn’t seem to be something that would surprise the dragon.
“Wait, seven years, wouldn’t I have been”
David muttered to himself as he twisted his head to survey his ‘badly fattened’ body.
Nymphadora, who was beside him, then smiled with emotion and congratulated him:
“Yes, congratulations to His Highness, Daviyutos, what about ‘being young and successful’.”
Davy grinned back with a smile:
“Yes, I too am finally, a teenage dragon.”
Fifteen years have passed since he traveled to this world.
Just before he could lament some more, his stomach, which had been emptied by his previous mouthful of dragon’s breath, already issued a muffled thunderous roar of protest, and he heard the green dragon Nymphadora say:
“I have ordered my subordinates to prepare a sumptuous luncheon, so you can enjoy it anytime you need it.”
“Right now, hungry indeed, Nymphadora, you are as good as ever at understanding dragons.”
With this green dragon butler who helped arrange everything properly, David suddenly had the feeling that a rich woman really smelled good.
“These are what one should do as a follower.” And hearing David’s rare praise, the plumpness on Nymphadora’s entire dragon body shook and swayed with gusts of laughter.
Even the white dragon Murfleur, who was following behind him, was dazzled by the sight.
That look was similar to a pure-hearted teenage boy who saw a beach volleyball bikini girl with an explosive figure at the beach.
“Eh?!” The only one left in place as if forgotten by the dragons Zuoer mage full of confusion raised his head, looking at the back of his own dragon master with his subordinates leaving, suddenly panicked, for a moment did not know whether to go after them, or just lie down on the ground here to be safer.
On the other hand, inside the other temporary stronghold in the Dragon’s Nest camp that was far away from the volcano, David’s mouth was like a bottomless abyss as he was rapidly gulping down a whole team of baked goods that had been improvised by the jackal dependents’ ‘cooking team’ that had been hastily recalled by Nefadollah.
[Overeating]
This kind of food that had been roasted to half-burnt by the searing heat was a proper first-class carcinogen before he crossed over, but nowadays, it was his favorite as a red dragon.
That was the eating habit that was engraved deep into the red dragon’s bloodline.
It was the same as how humans had evolved in just a few thousand years to the industrial information age, where food was sufficient and yet they still had to worry about the three highs, but they were still fond of high-calorie fats and oils.
Until the hunger in his stomach was slightly alleviated, David asked with some doubt:
“Where are Lizlette and Rosinde? Why don’t I see them.” In his impression, at least Lizlette, a typical red dragon, would most likely come together at the first moment she woke up.
Nymphadora, who seemed to have anticipated this query, instantly made a gesture of ‘trepidation’ and explained:
“This is exactly the other thing I want to report to you, in the second year of your sleep, we realized that the mission you issued to capture young dragons was basically… difficult to achieve due to various factors. It is difficult to realize.”
David who heard this also couldn’t help but lick his snake-like tongue.
Mard, back then, he had caught three in a row just a month before his departure, so much so that it had led to an illusion that ‘wild young dragons’ were easy to catch. But now that he thought about it, the ‘catching process’ of either Lizlette, Vulatimir or Nymphadora didn’t seem to be that good to replicate.
Ordinary traps hadn’t been able to hold the gluttonous Lizlette for even a second, and if it wasn’t for the fact that they had been tracking her for half a month and hiding in the neighborhood she would have run away long ago, and none of their subordinates would have been able to defeat a furious red baby dragon without themselves present.
The latter two were more akin to the feeling of ‘ginger fishing for the willing’.
However, if you think about it, these five-colored young dragons, except for the white dragon, which is more akin to a beast, the other four colors, even if they are just newborns, their intelligence is not inferior to that of an adult, so where is it so easy to catch them.
It’s not like they’re really catching stray cats.
On the contrary, the gang of unevenly matched dragon beasts that Zuoer Mage and the others had captured back was a bit of a ‘stray cat’.
Only David was still a bit unwilling, and just after waking up and turning his head sharply, he heard Nymphadora continue:
“And it was in the same year that Hiatt’s merchant ship encountered pirates.
“In addition to her own escape through the scuba herb potion, the ship’s twenty-three barbarian sailors with the ship and cargo all hitched.
“That’s why I took the liberty of letting Lizlette join Loxinde on each of Hiatt’s and Aliana’s two freighters, in order to maintain our maritime trade.”
Hearing that there was actually such a loss, Davy slapped the roast he was carrying on his tail on the desk:
“What a big dare! To actually dare to plunder even our merchant ships, have you found out who did it?”
Nymphadora immediately nodded and replied:
“The main members are a group of Zhuoer who escaped from the dark region, among them there is another one, according to Xiyat’s judgment, it should be one of the master mothers of the Spider’s Nest City back in the day, named Nafirutari, nowadays she has gathered a group of Zhuoer to make a living by plundering the sea, there are several of their strongholds in the Kingdom of Luwalden, they have also secretly controlled an Earl’s leader, so she isn’t very good to deal with. ”
“Oh, Drow ah, not surprising then.” The tip of David’s tail instantly picked up the still-cold roasted meat on the table, warmed it up with his own dragon breath, and mumbled thoughtfully to himself as he ate.
Not surprising indeed.
After all, back then, he had blasted the Spider’s Nest City with a shot of ‘Tiamat’s Wrath’, directly knocking out a skylight in the earth’s crust, the ‘Well of Miracles’, allowing a group of Zhuoer, who had long been suffering from the oppression of the upper levels, to have the opportunity to massively flee to the surface, which was tantamount to him opening up the Pandora’s Box. This Pandora’s Box, ‘the legacy of evil’.
On the other hand, to a certain extent, it was also his reason that the ‘Seventh Fleet’ was wiped out and the Spider’s Nest City was destroyed, leading to the High Elves being pressured to lay off their navy.
Without the High Elf’s sea blockade, and see that the gang of barbarians pirates rely on plundering over the wind and water is not happy, this group of roaming out of the Zhuoer that is not hurriedly followed by the admission of beer ah.
And due to his ‘claimed home’ in Derwentzel, this group of pressure forced by the name of the ‘Red Scourge’ roamed to the southern Middle Kingdom, also became a matter of course.
One could only say that there was a destiny in the underworld.
David silently memorized this put down with the name of Lord Mother Nafirutari, and pressed it aside for now, instead asking about another matter:
“The camp is now raising such a bunch of dragon beasts, how much cost do we have to invest into it every month? Can it be sustained with the current pattern?”
He knew that although these dragon beasts were different from real dragons in terms of their abilities, when it came to eating, they really didn’t eat less than real dragons.
But Nymphadora’s answer was to make David directly dumbfounded:
“In the first year, the average cost of raising each dragon beast hatchling is around 220 Devon Selgin per month.
“But in the fourth year, after we brought back the second litter of white hatchlings, things began to turn around, these dragon beasts, although their intelligence is limited, and their ability to survive alone in the wild is also limited, but because they do not have the dragon power to frighten the animals, they have slowly learned to hunt together like a pride of lions under the collaborative leadership of Murfleur and Cretinian.
“Since then, at least the food in our camp is completely self-sufficient or even surplus.
“In particular, the dragon beast dung samples that I asked Hiatt to send over to your father, Your Highness, have been initially recognized as having developmental value.
“Although the effect of the potion made by using them as a replacement is only a quarter of the original, the side effects are also drastically reduced, especially the [Anger Combination], so much so that it’s not limited to the physique of a battle cleric, mages are also able to take the degraded version of the [Anger Combination] to achieve an effect similar to the [Courage Potion] in terms of invigorating and improving spellcasting focus.
“According to the feedback coming from Lord Attilicia’s side, this inferiorized potion is very popular within the casters’ circle in Devonshire, and is used by many casters for spellcasting practice.
“Without the outbreak of a large-scale war, its market potential even exceeds that of the original [Anger Combination Potion].
“So according to what Lord Attilicia wants.
“He wants us to continue to increase our investment in dragon beast breeding.
“This is also the main reason why I acquiesced to the continuation of the Dragon Capture Program.”
David, who had heard this, had been completely confused, and the leftover cow bone on his tail had fallen into the campfire, revealing a look of disbelief:
“This fucking works?”
