Rein obtained the treasure left by the Black Emperor and learned about the layout of the tomb.

This place contains the complete inheritance of the "Seventy-Two Divine Generals Sequence" and the magic potion recipe. Logically speaking, Black Dragon City must guard it strictly in the future to prevent outsiders from coveting it.

But Rein realized it wasn't necessary at all.

First, you need to know Demonic Language.

Then, only the Great Shaman Mafat has the key to open the door, and besides, the tomb is not so easy for outsiders to enter.

The "fifth rank" restriction on the Ice Ridge Wasteland was personally set up by that Black Emperor, but His tomb contains divine magical restrictions far exceeding the fifth rank.

That's really shameless.

You can only get in if you're at most at the Fifth-tier Extraordinary.

Inside, however, lies a danger that even a fifth-tier Transcendent being could not possibly overcome.

The source of the restriction is the Abyssal Demonic Qi from underground, an energy source that never runs out.

As long as one's rank does not exceed that of the mythical "Ancient Demon" underground, it is impossible to break the restrictions here.

This means that anyone who enters, unless they are a descendant of the "Black Demon Tribe" from the Ice Ridge Wasteland, will die.

Therefore, there is no need for any defensive measures. If enemies come, just let them in.

Those few thousand gargoyles alone could teach the enemy a lesson.

The cave held countless secrets, including complete Cultivation Method and martial arts skills. This captivated Cavo, Mafat, and their fellow "legendary Transcendent," drawing them into a state of obsessive research from which they were unwilling to leave.

Time has rendered many martial arts Cultivation Method incomplete and greatly diminished their power, but now that they have obtained the originals, they treasure them like precious gems.

One by one, top-tier Transcendent greedily absorbed this Transcendent knowledge, which could lead to the divine level, like whales swallowing their prey.

Moreover, according to the Black Emperor's "last words," He set up a special rule for Transcendent advancement in this world.

Whether it's the Third Tier "momentum," the Fourth Tier "artistic conception," or the fifth-order "law," only those with truly exceptional talent can comprehend them.

Those who can advance to the Fifth-tier Extraordinary realm under such harsh conditions are all exceptionally talented, comparable to the famous "Seventy-Two Divine Generals" of the Monkell Civilization.

Therefore, the talent requirements for these Cultivation Method are not a big problem for the experts in Black Dragon City.

Cavo, Mafat, Canossa, Guy. Even Bazel, who relied on his long werewolf lifespan, abandoned his usual lazy demeanor and stayed in the tomb to comprehend the exclusive martial arts and Cultivation Method of his sequence.

For convenience, Master Cavo simply set up a teleportation array in the dragon's lair at the entrance of the tomb, directly connecting it to the library in Black Dragon City.

Rein wasn't in a hurry to cultivate; he couldn't understand the advanced knowledge above the fifth rank yet.

He took the animal skin scroll containing the "Dragon Knight's Legacy" and returned to the valley where the battle had taken place.

Black Dragon City's elite legions have sealed off a large area nearby, preventing anyone from getting close.

When Rein returned, he saw everyone busy at work, some building camps, others dealing with the black dragon.

The black dragon, on the other hand, was bound tightly.

Its fleshy wings were pierced by various runic steel cables and bound to a stone pillar buried deep in the ground, leaving no room for it to break free.

Meanwhile, the mechanics were controlling the mechs, using the Arc Vibration Black Blade to stab them from time to time to bleed them, keeping the evil dragon in a weakened state.

There was also Perception Extraordinary nearby, constantly monitoring its vital signs.

They won't die, but they definitely can't escape either.

Rein walked over and saw Wudo still earnestly communicating with the black dragon.

Beside it, there were various kinds of fresh demon meats, tempting with food.

But it seemed that the evil dragon didn't appreciate it at all, turning its head away arrogantly and ignoring Wudo.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of Rein, the dragon suddenly sharpened its gaze and exhaled a puff of hot breath.

The emotions were a mix of mockery, provocation, and disdain.

Clearly, being clever and cunning, it knew that Rein was the leader of this inferior race.

As Wudo saw Rein approaching, she greeted him happily, "Doctor Rein, you're back!"

"Um."

Rein nodded and casually asked, "How did it go?"

Wudo pouted, somewhat dejectedly, and said, "There's still no way. Even if we kill it, it has no intention of being tamed by us. In the eyes of dragons, we humans are inferior creatures with very low bloodlines."

"Oh"

Looking at the dragon's arrogant demeanor, Rein felt it was only natural.

He thought that if he were captured by a group of low-ranking Dog-headed Man and made into a slave, he would definitely rather die than submit.

If it were before, even Wudo, who possessed the [Myriad Beast Totem], couldn't tame it, let alone anyone else.

The only possible end for this evil dragon is to be killed and broken down into materials.

But now, there's another option to try.

Since "Dragon Knight" really exist in this world, it proves that dragons can be tamed.

At this moment, Rein took out the mysterious beast hide, handed it to Wudo, and said, "I found this in the tomb. Wudo, see if you can learn how to use it."

Wudo glanced at the animal hide and noticed the strange contents recorded on it. Curious, she asked, "What is this?"

"A dragon-taming secret technique left behind by a god-level Dragon Knight."

As he spoke, Rein added, "This contains the methods for learning 'Dragon Language' and some dragon taming techniques. I don't have much talent for taming beasts, Great Shaman Mafat asked me to show it to you."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Wudo took the animal hide and began to examine it carefully.

In fact, the moment Rein took out the animal hide, the black dragon sensed something, and its nostrils, which were as hollow as a train tunnel, flared slightly.

The animal hide emitted a scent that it found very special, as if it had a fatal attraction that made it want to get closer.

But the proud dragons would not bow down and ask questions of a group of inferior creatures; they continued to arrogantly turn their heads away, pretending to be dead or asleep.

However, the subtle changes in the dragon did not escape Rein's notice. A glint of expectation flashed in his eyes as he thought, "I hope I can really tame this guy."

Wudo examined the animal hide intently, and after a short while, she exclaimed, "Hmm, the pronunciation of this dragon language is somewhat similar to the pronunciation of the wyvern's voice..."

Indeed, professionals do professional things.

Rein then realized that giving the "Dragon Taming Secrets" to Wudo was the right choice.

The Kolman Tribe has tamed magical beasts for generations, and they are intimately familiar with the habits of almost all of them. Furthermore, in their daily lives, they mimic the roars of magical beasts, producing similar sounds. Gradually, they mastered this "ventriloquism" of imitating animal roars.

This solves the pronunciation problem of "Dragon Language".

Legend has it that during the mythical era, there was a very powerful branch of magic called "Dragon Language Magic." This branch, along with "Elven Magic," is considered one of the two major origins of magic in the world. The various types of magic circulating among humans are all low-level language magic derived from these two schools.

The "Dragon Taming Secrets" left behind by the Black Emperor not only contain dragon taming techniques, but also many high-level magical inheritances from the dragon language system.

Wudo seems to be making good progress in her studies.

At least she didn't get a headache just reading it like Rein did; instead, she read on with great interest.

Rein didn't disturb her and also sat cross-legged to meditate.

Instead, at this moment, the dragon, which had been ignored for a long time, opened its eyes a crack and looked at the human girl who was trying to pronounce words in dragon language.

As night fell, a campfire was lit in the camp.

"Lord City Lord, Elder Wudo, it's time for dinner."

Kolman Warrior had prepared the sizzling, juicy roast meat.

Hearing the noise, Rein snapped out of his reverie.

Meanwhile, Wudo looked at the sky and, belatedly realizing what was happening, exclaimed, "Huh, it's already dark so quickly?"

Rein smiled and said, "You're too focused."

He guessed what was going on and asked, "Wudo, how are you feeling? Can you learn this dragon taming technique?"

"I don't know either"

Wudo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "The secret techniques on this animal skin scroll are extremely complex and numerous. There are also many things that I simply cannot comprehend at my current level. However, I think I can learn the 'Dragon Language.' It might take several months."

She paused, looked at Rein, and said, "How about we don't kill it for now? I think if it learns dragon language, it will feel more at ease and be more willing to communicate with us."

Seeing Wudo pleading sincerely for the evil dragon, Rein nodded and said, "Yes."

This innocent little Kolman simply cannot lie.

She said this from the bottom of her heart because she didn't want to see the Black Dragon killed.

Clearly, the dragon had heard something too.

Although its eyelids were not open, they twitched slightly, as if its eyeballs were moving, and it was unclear what it was thinking.

Hearing Rein's agreement, Wudo smiled happily. She took Rein's arm affectionately and said, "Let's go, Doctor Rein, let's go have dinner."

Rein felt a gentle touch sink into his arm and smiled, "Okay."

The Kolman Tribe's diet is very simple, consisting of large chunks of roasted meat and fresh fruit.

Rein also enjoyed this rough and ready meal. He sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up his hands, and began to gnaw on a large piece of meat weighing dozens of kilograms that was laid out on a banana leaf.

Wudo sat beside him, occasionally adding meat and other food to Rein.

Just then, she found a few fruits that looked like large bananas in the pile of fruit and exclaimed softly, "Huh, there are even 'Elephant Trunk Fruit' around here."

Looking at the yellow fruit, which was about the size of an arm, Rein naturally recognized it.

He seemed to recall something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

I remember the first and only time I ate this fruit was when I was captured and taken to the Kolman Central Courtyard Tribe.

At the time, I didn't know the effects of this fruit, and in my drunken stupor, I ate some, which led to an embarrassing night. Meanwhile, Wudo took care of me the whole time, even though our relationship wasn't that close back then.

At that moment, the recollection was interrupted by a greeting.

"Doctor Rein, would you like some?"

Turning her head, she saw Wudo pointing at the Elephant Trunk Fruit in her hand and asking a question.

Her expression was innocent, her large eyes as clear as the starry sky on a summer night. After all, this wasn't a taboo topic among their Kolman Tribe.

Rein laughed and said, "Okay."

"Whee."

Hearing this, Wudo smiled happily and peeled the fruit for Rein.

When Rein first tried it, he was drunk and didn't really taste it.

Now that I've tried it, I realize it tastes really good. It's sweet and chewy, and a warm feeling rises from my lower abdomen after it enters my mouth, making me feel refreshed.

Rein casually remarked, "Hmm, it tastes pretty good."

Wudo: "Then I'll peel another one for you."

After a satisfying meal, everyone returned to their tents to rest.

Rein is the city lord, Wudo is an elder, so there's no need for them to be responsible for the night.

Once inside the tent, Wudo used boiled water to wipe Rein's body, just like she always did before bed, in her apartment in Black Dragon City.

Today, perhaps because she ate the Elephant Trunk Fruit, Wudo bent down to wipe Rein's body, saw something, and suddenly exclaimed softly, "Wow!"

Wow?

Hearing the somewhat strange exclamation, Rein glanced at her with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Her face was at waist level.

Clearly, he knew what Wudo was whispering.

"Whee."

No one spoke. Wudo smiled again, her expression unchanged, and continued her wiping work.

She changed the water and wiped it carefully again.

Before long, the lights in the tent gradually dimmed, and the two lay down on the thick animal hides that made up the ground.

In the past, Wudo always liked to snuggle into Rein's arms when she slept.

Back then, she wasn't as tall as Rein; she looked like a little girl, and when you held her in your arms, she seemed like a delicate bird nestled against you.

But now she's taller Rein, and they're embracing each other intimately and ambiguously.

Wudo snuggled up in Rein's arms like a kitten, seemingly trying to find a comfortable position to sleep.

The traditional clothing of the Kolman Tribe is already quite revealing, and since it's slept, Wudo isn't wearing much animal skin clothing. And she's no longer the girl who couldn't distinguish between genders. It felt heavy and soft in my hands; I almost couldn't hold it.

Her figure is graceful and well-proportioned, and her skin feels smooth and even to the touch.

Perhaps it was because of the Elephant Trunk Fruit, the large areas of skin touching made Rein instantly feel restless. Before he knew it, this girl had grown into a stunningly beautiful woman with a gorgeous figure.

With Canossa by his side yesterday, and it being the eve of a major battle, he didn't dare to do anything out of line.

Now that the great battle is over, I can relax and let my thoughts wander.

After an unknown amount of time, a timid voice rang out from the darkness.

"Doctor Rein."

"Um?"

After a long silence, no one spoke.

Perhaps unable to find a topic to talk about, Wudo continued.

Do you think I can tame that black dragon?

"Of course! I'm also really looking forward to our Wudo becoming a legendary Dragon Knight!"

"Oh, that's it."

"Waaaaah"

"."

Darkness concealed the enchanting spring scenery.

The wild and untamed Wudo spent the night as a knight.

After the Tomb of the Black Emperor was excavated, this place became a secret stronghold of Black Dragon City.

This place contains the inheritance of all the "Seventy-Two Divine Generals Sequence," and the fifth-tier experts of Black Dragon City have all come here to find the complete Cultivation Method of their own lineage.

Even Prime Minister Ymir and his advisor Metternich put aside their duties to devote themselves to spiritual practice.

The development of Black Dragon City has gotten on the right track, which is the benefit of a superior system.

Once all the staff in each functional department are in place, the system can function even if someone is missing.

The high-ranking officials of Black Dragon City were well aware that their crisis had never been within the Ice Ridge Wasteland, but rather from beyond the realm. Improving their strength was their top priority.

They had thought that the Fifth-tier Extraordinary was the end, but they saw a new and broader world.

Everyone was engrossed in a frenzied period of cultivation.

Three months later, accompanied by a thunderous dragon roar, a black dragon soared into the sky.

And riding on the dragon's neck was a smiling Kolman girl.

Her loud laughter echoed through the sky as she shouted at someone on the ground, "Wow, Doctor Rein, I've become Dragon Knight!"
