The disposal of Undead Lair and the advancement of Dragonforged Transformation Ritual have been officially handed over to Black Dragon Seraphina.
Green Dragon Ludwig will also participate as an important presence.
After Black Dragon respectfully accepted the leader's instructions, Conifer Valley did not stay too long. He quickly flapped his wings and flew vigorously into the sky, turning into a black shadow that swept into the distance, and went to carry out his new mission.
Garos patrolled the warm valley for a while, and finally found a huge, smooth stone slab that was heated by the sun.
He lay calmly on it.
After roaring with satisfaction, Red Iron Dragon stretched his huge body and enjoyed the warm afternoon sunshine.
At the same time, the huge dragon claws grabbed the gems and precious metals that shone with alluring luster, and swallowed the sticky and hot Black Oil in one bite like chewing ore. The clicking sound of the hard material breaking under the dragon's teeth could be heard clearly.
He is slowly recovering from his weakened body caused by the Red Lotus Form and Lich curses.
While closing his eyes and falling asleep, seemingly lazily basking in the sun.
Garos initiated spiritual communication with Iron Dragon Sorog on the other side through the invisible bond deep in the bloodline.
"Here?"
"Here."
Almost instantly, Sorog's concise and calm response came from over there.
After receiving the response, Garos directly asked with his mind, "Sorog, have you established a stable Blood Kin Link relationship with your mother?"
Iron Dragon on the other side nodded slightly, and a confirmation message came from his consciousness.
"It has been established, the connection is stable, and you can communicate at any time."
After saying this, his mental fluctuations became a little more solemn, and he continued, "According to what you said before, I will try to establish Blood Kin Link with our biological father, the red dragon Gorsas, hoping to sense his state."
"But the result is just as you expected, just as you thought."
"As soon as my thread of Psionic Energy touched the edge of his mind through blood resonance, it was instantly burned by a... crazy, chaotic, indescribable and powerful spirit that seemed to be composed of pure violent flames."
"That spiritual power, which is like a physical fire, is extremely abnormal and makes me feel very dangerous."
"If I hadn't reacted quickly and forcibly cut off the connection immediately, I'm afraid that weird flames would have come back along the Psionic Energy connection and set me on fire."
Garos, who was dozing, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils with a look of deep thought.
"Is this the [Frenzied Flame] that mother once mentioned?"
During the last meeting between Sinkhole Territory and Iron Dragon Mother Laetitia, Garos heard her talk about some past events about Red Dragon Father Gorsas.
According to the description of Iron Dragon Mother:
Gorsas's world-famous madness and chaos are not entirely innate.
At first, although he was a Chromatic Dragon who tended to be in the chaotic camp at heart, he also knew how to weigh the interests and the trade-off between advancement and retreat. It was precisely because of his powerful strength and his quick wit when power failed to solve the problem that he was able to build a strong reputation and occupy a place in the crisis-ridden Ser Wilderness.
But then, something happened that completely changed him.
Since then, Gorsas has gradually and seemingly irreversibly become more chaotic and crazy, and has gradually become disowned by all his relatives. Later, he even often beat up his partner Iron Dragon Laetitia, making it increasingly difficult to communicate.
The cause of that incident is:
One day, a huge meteorite burning with flames came from the sky, carrying a loud noise that tore through the sky and a dazzling fire, and landed in a certain area of Ser Wilderness.
The crash site is not far from Gorsas's lair.
Gorsas, who discovered the earth-shattering movement immediately, was the first to fly to check it out.
Relying on his great strength, he came into close contact with the alien meteorite that exuded an ominous aura, and even touched its scorching surface with his dragon claws.
And with his contact, amazing changes happened.
The strange flames burning on the meteorite seemed to have found better fuel, and all of them separated from the meteorite and entered his body.
Gorsas is extremely excited and happy about this.
Because the power level of the flame exceeds his Red Dragonfire, it is more violent, hotter, and more destructive than his Red Dragonfire.
After that, under the continuous tempering and fusion of the meteor flames, his physical strength and flame power increased by leaps and bounds, far exceeding the limits of a normal red dragon.
What then made him even more ecstatic was that he awakened the precious Ancestral Bloodline, and the pleasure of soaring power overwhelmed him.
However, in the process of this rapid increase in power, his mental madness and chaos also deepened and became more and more out of control.
There is no record of that weird flame in Dragon Inheritance's memory.
Iron Dragon Laetitia Named it--Frenzied Flame based on the amazing changes of Gorsas.
When she realized that the root cause of Gorsas's increasing irritability and loss of sanity was probably Frenzied Flame, she repeatedly persuaded Gorsas to find ways to restrain or even expel Frenzied Flame from his body in an attempt to regain his sanity.
However, it was flatly rejected by Gorsas.
Red Dragon, who has been pursuing and advocating absolute power all his life, has fully accepted the changes brought by Frenzied Flame.
He was aware of his own changes, but he was happy with them. He even embraced them more actively and enthusiastically without any resistance.
After that, Laetitia completely gave up on Gorsas.
Gorsas also provoked the encirclement and suppression of Lothern Federation due to his increasingly crazy behavior. After being severely beaten, he had to leave Ser Wilderness.
The two officially parted ways.
Laetitia Later, he returned to the place where the meteor Starfall landed to investigate carefully, but unexpectedly discovered that the huge meteor had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
The place where the mysterious meteorite fell is exactly Sinkhole Territory where she lives now.
To be more precise, that huge sinkhole was formed when the meteorite carrying Frenzied Flame hit the earth.
Laetitia, on the one hand, out of practical considerations, wants to eliminate Gorsas, a hidden danger that may bring endless trouble.
On the other hand, she was also worried about the drastic changes in Gorsas caused by Frenzied Flame, so she chose to live directly in Sinkhole Territory, hoping to find some clues from it.
But after an extremely long time, she still found nothing.
The key to the problem is not the deep crater created by the meteorite, but the meteorite itself that has mysteriously disappeared.
"Frenzied Flame that makes Gorsas crazy, and the mysterious meteorite that disappeared from the sky."
"Both of these, I'm afraid, are absolutely extraordinary."
"If you don't have the Legendary Realm level of strength, you may not even be qualified to find out the truth. It's best not to delve deeper."
Garos gathered his divergent thoughts, suppressed this curiosity in his heart for the time being, and slowly closed his eyes again.
As for whether there is even a slight possibility, such as using all Molten Iron Tribe's strength to search for the missing meteorite no matter the cost.
Or find other ways to change the current red dragon Gorsas, reverse the influence of Frenzied Flame, and make him able to communicate and live in harmony again.
This possibility exists in theory.
However, the chances of it coming true are slim.
Garos and Red Dragon Gorsas are really unfamiliar and have not even met.
There is no trace of father-son tenderness between the two.
It is extremely uneconomical for him to spend a lot of time, resources and energy to do something with an expected return that is so slim that it is almost invisible. He has inherited Iron Dragon's pragmatic character.
Besides.
Even if there is really a way to restore Gorsas to his original state, he may still be extremely unhappy based on what Iron Dragon Mother wants.
Gorsas was not forced to change, he embraced Frenzied Flame willingly and eventually became what he is now.
This is his own choice.
Strength and madness are the paths he takes the initiative to embark on.
"Sorog, turn on Blood Kin Network."
Garos no longer thought deeply about this matter, but instead said, "The matter of mother's formal alliance with us has not been discussed in detail with other members. We just take this opportunity to have an internal conversation among us Ignas Family."
He is not worried that Iron Dragon Mother Laetitia will take this opportunity to seize the right to speak.
Dragonkin's social rules never judge superiority based on age or seniority. Only absolute strength is the only criterion that determines everything.
"Okay."
Sorog responded succinctly.
Immediately, he used his own spirit as the hub to connect to the consciousness of other blood relatives in turn, constructing the invisible Mind Network.
In this unique spiritual world, each dragon can clearly see the reflection of the consciousness of other members.
It is a kind of image projection at the spiritual level, which is basically the same as their true ontology.
Soon.
The consciousnesses of the four dragons - Garos, Sorog, Samantha and Laetitia were the first to gather in this spiritual space.
Gordon, located in the Lothern Kingdom in the far south, will take a little longer to establish and stabilize this ultra-long distance spiritual connection.
"Sorog, Samantha."
Laetitia's conscious body turned her attention to the other two heirs, and she keenly felt the tenacity and strength contained in their spirits.
That is definitely not the kind of foundation that an ordinary Young Dragon can possess, and it is even enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with many Adult Dragons.
This is indeed the case.
Sorog and Life Level of Samantha have both reached level 15.
Under normal circumstances, this is often a level that only an adult Iron Dragon or an adult red dragon can reach.
Following this special blood relative Garos, although their growth rate cannot be compared with that of the monster Garos, it has already far exceeded the average level of their kind.
"Mother."
Iron Dragon Sorog's conscious body's response was as concise as ever.
"Mom, long time no see."
The conscious body of the red dragon Samantha grinned and showed a militant smile, and then said, "Next time we meet in the real world, I hope to discuss it with you, mother, and personally measure how big the gap is between myself and a late-adult dragon."
"Okay."
Laetitia agreed readily, "I also want to know how far you have grown now." She then turned her attention to Iron Dragon Sorog: "Are you interested in giving it a try?"
"I'm not interested in meaningless discussions that consume energy."
Sorog's consciousness has no fluctuations.
Just by observing the degree of mental concentration reflected by Iron Dragon Mother Laetitia's consciousness, he had calmly analyzed the results.
If faced with a level 17 White Dragon, there might still be room for maneuver.
But the opponent is level 17 Iron Dragon?
The odds of winning are zero.
"Here I come!"
At this moment, a dull, thick, echoing roar sounded in Mind Network.
Then, a Doug stocky and majestic figure of consciousness condensed and appeared.
Laetitia stared at it subconsciously, and then her huge dragon eyes widened involuntarily.
What did she see?
That was Iron Dragon, whose thick scales seemed to have been stretched out!
In terms of body width, he is not inferior to Garos at all, but he is not that muscular and muscular. Instead, his whole body is covered with extremely rich and layered fat layers, making him look extraordinarily huge.
However, if you look carefully, you can also find:
Under the surface of the thick fat layer like a fortress, the deep interior also vaguely protrudes the outlines of hard and powerful muscles.
That seemingly bulky body obviously must contain extraordinary and terrifying power.
Youth Iron Dragon Gordon, Life Level 16.
Second only to Garos and Laetitia, it ranks third in the field.
"Are you...Gordon?"
Laetitia's consciousness fluctuated with obvious hesitation and disbelief.
In her impression, Gordon is the slender one among all her descendants, and the one with the least apparent talent.
But the consciousness mapping in front of me is different.
If she hadn't known in advance that this was an internal gathering limited to blood relatives, she would have hardly dared to recognize each other.
"It's me!"
Gordon's conscious body responded proudly, and then noticed Laetitia.
"Mom? Long time no see! You finally joined us Ignas Dragonflight? Following brother Garos is definitely the wisest choice!"
Gordon said cheerfully, with an extremely natural tone.
Sorog, who is the real eldest son in terms of age, did not refute this.
Gordon is right.
In terms of strength, Garos is the eldest brother without a doubt; in terms of age, he Sorog is the eldest brother.
The two have different opinions and there is no conflict.
Laetitia still couldn't help but ask, "Gordon... you, how did you become like this?"
She was a little confused.
Immediately, Gordon briefly explained the special situation he was in Lothern Royal Court.
Although he is nominally a member of the dragon group, he is actually far away from the power center of the human kingdom in the south.
"Mother, look, look carefully!"
Gordon's conscious body puffed up its chest, showing the contours hidden under the thick layer of fat. "Look at my body that is full of strength and beauty! Doesn't it also make you feel extremely proud?"
Iron Dragon Laetitia took a few seconds to calm down his surprise and responded slowly, "Well... yes, it is indeed unique."
Her tone was a little complicated.
Each of these heirs of his seems to have his own differences and unique skills.
Hearing these words, Gordon nodded his huge head in satisfaction and shook his head.
He chose Hundred-Battle Dragon Pathway and consumed a large amount of fat reserves during his previous sleep period.
After that, he continued to eat without restraint and enjoyed all the top resources provided by Royal Court.
But more importantly, he was deeply influenced and inspired by Garos, and he also started high-intensity exercise, so that he gradually became the fat-packed muscle he is today, extremely stocky and majestic.
The current Gordon is still very different from ordinary dragons in appearance.
However, he no longer gives people a funny feeling, but because of his extraordinarily large and round waist, which is like a moving fortress, it creates a different kind of huge oppression.
In terms of body shape alone, he is even the closest to Garos at the moment, but his temperament is still a little less powerful.
"Tie Zhuang, your chubby appearance is finally more pleasing to the eye now, at least it's not like a puddle of mud like before."
Samantha sneered unceremoniously and said, "But the strength and thickness you brag about? Are you kidding? At best, it looks more like a huge, plump and juicy steak, which makes the enemy feel more delicious."
Gordon didn't get angry this time like when he was laughed at when he was a teenager.
As the saying goes, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Regarding Samantha's unfounded sarcasm, he just responded with a smile, "Samantha, my stupid sister, your vision is still so superficial. I know you are duplicitous and you are nakedly jealous."
"Admit it, you are envious of my perfect and powerful body now."
"Besides, my current strength has actually surpassed yours."
Samantha flashed his sharp fangs. "Sooner or later I will fly to the south, push you to the ground and give you a good beating to wake you up."
"Then come on, I'll wait for you."
Gordon showed no signs of weakness and even looked forward to it. "Just so you can experience for yourself what absolute power is."
Listening to the familiar tit-for-tat conversation between the siblings, Garos slowly spoke and asked, "Mother, Sorog, do you think, if Samantha and Gordon really fight now, who has a greater chance of winning?"
Laetitia thought about it carefully and judged based on her cognition, "I think it will be Samantha."
Life Level cannot represent everything.
According to Gordon's own description, although he also received training in Royal Court, he lacked the cruel experience of real life-and-death combat. This was an obvious disadvantage compared to Samantha who had more combat experience in the wilderness.
Moreover, in terms of pure combat ferocity and aggressiveness, Red Dragon is inherently superior to Iron Dragon.
Sorog's calm analysis results also believe that Samantha has a better chance of winning.
But he did not express his true thoughts. Instead, he used a calm tone and silently said, "I think it's Gordon."
