Among Whitecloud Sky City.
Garos The group strolled on the wide street, stopping and walking.
Deborah is full of curiosity about many things in this magic city. From time to time, he will be attracted by something novel and stop to look at it for a while, just like a tourist.
Garos didn't rush me, just followed him, walking leisurely.
His eyes also swept across the city, but not for pure appreciation, but more for observation. The level of magic here was high and there were many things worth pondering.
This trip was said to be to relax.
But there is no way, some habits have been engraved in Garos's bones. He cannot fully enjoy this journey and can't help but measure and think about some things.
At the same time.
In the depths of his pupils, the last bit of the battlefield scene slowly faded away.
Through the eyes of his family, he saw the battle on the Goblin Continent, and also noticed King Destiny Rank Goblins who broke through the battle.
Garos is thinking in his heart.
From Crown Rank to Destiny Rank, it takes time and effort.
This is not something that can be achieved by relying on explosive seeds. The difficulty of breaking through in battle is no less than breaking through from the second level to the Legendary Realm in battle.
No matter how talented Legendary Realm is, he still needs enough accumulation to reach Destiny Rank. Moreover, although there is only one level difference between Crown Rank and Destiny Rank, the difficulty of this step is much higher than other breakthroughs of the same level.
Even Garos himself.
Looking at his past, he has actually only experienced one breakthrough in battle, and to be precise, it was after the battle, not during the battle.
"This is probably not a natural breakthrough."
"Just like my dependents can gain power through the connection with Beneath the Dragon Throne - this Goblins king also received external power and temporarily became Destiny Rank."
Garos thought to himself.
After recalling the information about the Goblin Continent, he made some judgments and felt that there was a high probability that Goblin God could no longer hold back and could not sit back and watch War Wolves wreak havoc, so he gave him strength.
This is also normal.
Although the Goblin Kingdomss on this continent are not so united, their overall beliefs are the same.
When their kingdom is destroyed, it also means the loss of faith.
For gods, this is a very serious problem and they will not just sit idly by and ignore it.
"The fate of a god will undoubtedly add many variables."
"Great Expedition, it is indeed a difficult road. Just a one-star Material World without Immortal One may lead to gods."
Garos sighed in his heart.
However, the star rating is only a reference after all and cannot be completely relied on.
Garos has no intention of backing down.
A Deity who is not recorded in the genealogy of the gods has no support from Pantheon behind him. His influence is very limited, and his support is limited to certain world regions.
Even without him taking action himself.
Magnificent Red Dragon Ignas, is already staring at the situation of the Goblin Continent.
Although this ancestor did not act too tough and lowered his attitude when he was on Neutron Star, his life essence is actually still higher than Garos, which is more than enough to deal with inferior gods.
Goblins God, even if he comes in his true form, there is a high probability that he will not be a match for the veteran Teruhiro.
Unless, this god is just a smaller version of some more powerful gods, and is very valued------
It is not impossible that when a certain god feels that his faith path has reached its limit, he will choose to condense other aspects, gain new faith through other means, and explore new paths.
However, such a "small account" will basically not be taken seriously.
Once it's gone, it's gone, and a new one will form.
The meaning of its existence is to try other paths, and this is in the form of casting a wide net.
For Garos.
No matter what, this first time Great Expedition must win and get off to a good start, otherwise, his Godhood will most likely be affected. Although a Divine Authority like Victory and Glory is powerful, it is destined to only win, must win, and cannot accept failure.
The thoughts are withdrawn.
Garos's eyes returned to the street in front of him, and soon after, when they reached a place, the three of them stopped in unison.
"I feel the breath of Dragonkin."
Deborah looked to the right side of the street and said.
Sparrow Vera poked his head out from her shoulder, stood on tiptoe and looked over. "Eh--Monster Park? It seems to be a place where many different magical creatures are kept in captivity!"
There is a translucent magic tablet standing at the door of the building, with a line of small words below introducing the basic information of the park.
Open to the public free of charge, it has exhibition areas for various magical creatures, aiming to promote understanding and familiarity with magical creatures----
Garos took a look and said, "Go in and have a look. It's free anyway."
In Netheril's floating city, most things are free.
Through the exploration and connection of major planes and the study of magic, Nether's Spellcasters have obtained almost inexhaustible resources, and the resource level of the entire empire has reached an extremely high level.
Spellcaster people hardly need to worry about any material things, they only need to focus on the magic knowledge itself.
There are no fees for many public recreational activities.
This is a magic empire that is in its heyday, it can even be said to be a golden age.
But----
"This magic empire is very good at exploring the major planes. It has connections with countless planes both openly and privately."
"This step is much bigger than Holden."
Garos thought to himself.
Holden developed Abyss, which is undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior.
As for the Netherese Magic Empire in front of us, although the plane we are exploring is not a high-risk plane like Abyss, the bottom line will always drop, and it does not even need to drop. Garos is sure that there must be some Spellcaster in Nether trying to get something from planes like Abyss.
Spellcaster has always been a daring being. There is a fine line between genius and madman.
They have endless curiosity, and the more dangerous and taboo the area is, the more attractive it is to them Gravity.
In the inherited knowledge of Garos, there are many records of world-class disasters caused by Spellcaster in order to study the so-called knowledge and truth.
An empire entirely composed and dominated by Spellcaster.
How many hidden dangers are hidden inside?
"The water in this Faerûn continent is indeed very deep. Imaskar Mechanical Empire has committed the wrath of the gods and has been liquidated. Netherese Magic Empire is in its heyday. It may be possible to harvest some of the legacy of Imaskar and become stronger, but the problem is not small."
"When Nether's hidden danger breaks out, perhaps we can use this place as the Great Expedition target."
Garos is thoughtful.
At the same time, the three walked into Monster Park.
The park is huge.
Along the way, they saw many strange magical creatures.
Hydra, who has nine heads and is quarreling with each other; Chimera, who is half lion and half goat, dragging a snake tail; Owlbear, who is lying lazily on the ground----
There are all kinds of strange things and a dazzling array of things to see.
Finally, the three of them stopped in front of what looked like a newly built park.
There is a brand new introduction board at the door with a lot of information written on it.
[White Dragon]
[Dragonkin, as the top magical life, has high intelligence, strong body, and outstanding spell casting talent, but has an arrogant temperament and looks down on other biological races----]
[Although White Dragon is weaker than other Dragonkin kin, but compared to other magical beings, it is still----]
Sparrow Vera was furious before he finished reading. "Dragonkin was imprisoned in Monster Park?! Put it on display with other Magic Creature?! This Netheril is indeed the evil magic empire! It must be defeated!"
"Garos! Let's demolish this park later!"
Deborah looked at the sparrow on his shoulder and said, "Didn't you think this place was nice just now?"
"Those are two different things!"
Vera flapped his wings and was filled with righteous indignation. "Appreciate to appreciate, defeat to defeat!"
Garos did not answer the call.
Along the way, he felt that the situation of Monster Park was not what Vera thought, and there might be something wrong with White Dragon here.
Inside the park, there is an ice and snow environment maintained by magic.
There were fine pieces of flying snow floating in the air, the ground was covered with a flat layer of ice, and the cold air was drifting away in wisps.
A slender White Dragon is lying on the ice platform.
When she saw a visitor approaching, she immediately put on a cold expression, raised her head, looked down from a high position, and said in a low and majestic voice, "You humble reptile, are you here to pay homage to our majestic figure Dragonkin?"
"Oh, okay."
"If you're not afraid of death, just get closer."
After saying that, White Dragon suddenly patted the isolation glass.
Bang!
The runes on the glass flashed randomly, buzzed and trembled, looking quite intimidating.
Garos and the others watched her movements without any confusion, and at the same time released a hint of Dragonkin's aura.
White Dragon feels it.
She was slightly startled when she realized that the person in front of her was also Dragonkin.
"Oh."
"It turns out they are the same race."
The cold and majestic look faded away in an instant, White Dragon let out a long yawn, and collapsed directly on the ice platform, spreading his limbs and flicking his tail, looking extremely lazy.
"You should have told me earlier, you still have to pretend to harm me."
She muttered and said, "It's more comfortable to lie down."
The sparrow Vera flew up and asked through the glass, "White Dragon ah White Dragon."
"Were you caught here? As long as you ask Master Vera for help, Master Vera can rescue you!"
White Dragon raised his eyelids and glanced at the little sparrow.
She felt that this sparrow was also transformed from Dragonkin, but she couldn't quite tell what Dragonkin it was. The worker should be Metal Dragon. As for the tall human beside him - the red dragon? Hiss, the red dragon's humanoid form is rarely this majestic, and it feels very dangerous.
White Dragon looked away and looked at the sparrow that looked the most annoying.
"Save?"
"No need, I stayed here voluntarily."
She said lazily.
"Voluntary?"
Vera was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Why? The mat here is a cage. Are you really willing?"
"Cage?"
White Dragon snorted and turned over his upper body, revealing his snow-white belly, and one of his hind paws was raised comfortably.
"Little sparrow, you don't understand."
"Nese's spellcasters will deliver three meals a day to my mouth on time. I can also order the menu myself, including ice snow fish and frost-marked venison--I have only stayed here for a short time, and I have gained several tons of weight!"
"And it's not just about eating and drinking."
"My reward for gold and silver is settled monthly and is never less."
"What about me? I just need to stay here for a few hours every week, and occasionally give them some dragon scales, spit, blood and other things. Even if I don't even have shit, someone will clean it up and put it away like a treasure."
White Dragon said, his face full of pride and pride.
"Besides, I can go out at any time. Do you see this piece of glass?"
She tapped the glass in front of the child with the tip of her tail and said, "It's just a decoration. I can go out at any time."
After saying that, White Dragon seemed to have realized something.
She suddenly became alert, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Garos and his party.
"Wait."
"Who are you—could it be that Gang deceived me into leaving and then replaced me?"
"I tell you, there is no way!"
She immediately tightened her body, bared her fangs, and said, "This is Benlong's territory. Three meals a day, monthly treasure collection, and someone to shovel shit are all indispensable! Benlong will stay here comfortably for at least a hundred years!"
"No one can rob me!"
".--"
Hearing these words, Garos and the others fell silent.
Logically speaking, a dragon is raised in Monster Park. No matter how it looks, it is not something that Dragonkin can accept if it is placed in any working age. If there are other normal Dragonkin is here, and I will definitely reprimand White Dragon for being a disgrace to Dragonkin, who has completely ruined Dragon Race's dignity.
But Garos is not that normal either.
Although he felt that White Dragon's behavior was unreasonable, he didn't pay much attention to it.
"You have too many goons."
"We are here for the first time, so we need to have a fellow tribesman as a guide to learn more about the situation in Faerûn."
Garos said.
"Oh, then you go find other dragons. I don't have time. I have to sleep for over twenty hours a day."
White Dragon tilted his head and his eyelids drooped.
"You'll be fine again."
"We can pay for it."
Deborah said to White Dragon.
"Reward?"
White Dragon sneered, "Do you think that a little reward can make me change my ways? Is it okay to abandon my dignity and act arrogantly before being respectful? I also have integrity."
She seemed to be unaware that staying in Monster Park was not a dignified thing.
At the same time, White Dragon just finished speaking.
She noticed that Garos flipped his open palm, revealing a dazzling top-grade gemstone, and he was throwing it up and catching it without hesitation, and then lifted it up.
So big, so shiny!
White Dragon immediately sat up straight, his eyes following the gem up and down, showing a look of thirst.
"Is your dignity worth this gem?"
Garos asked.
Hearing this, White Dragon blinked his eyes, put his front paws together, and his voice became soft and serious. "You are really accurate in seeing dragons. I mean, I am indeed very familiar with the customs and customs of the entire Faerûn continent, and the heat has helped the dragon----"
After the sun.
Whitecloud Sky City, upper area, a restaurant facing the street.
The location here is excellent. Seats by the window overlook the floating city. Looking down, you can see the layers of streets and various innovative buildings. There is a continuous flow of people. Looking further away, you can see the endless wind and floating clouds, and the endless sky.
"Come, come, come, you're welcome, sit wherever you want!"
A man with black hair and a white skirt greeted him warmly.
She is none other than White Dragon who worked at Monster Park, named Vaqili. Mercury suddenly asked Monster Park for a worker's leave, and then became the guide for Garos and his party.
There was not much excitement after I sat down.
The first dish came and was placed in front of everyone.
This is a piece of barbecue.
The outer part is caramelized and crispy, and it doesn't look very special, but when it is cut open, the juice inside the inner part is golden in color, thick like honey, and slowly flows out, exuding a rich meaty aroma and a hint of sweetness.
"How is it?"
White Dragon Vaqili held his chin open and said, "The restaurant I recommended is not bad, right? This table is my most treasured restaurant."
"Yeah, very good."
Garos nodded slightly.
His pursuit of delicious food is not that high.
After all, he could even drink Black Oil as a drink, but after he tasted it, he had to admit that it tasted really good.
After eating a few more bites, he looked out the window.
Looking from here, the outline of Whitecloud Sky City comes into view, and you can also see the sea of clouds outside.
"Speak of it."
"Floating cities like Whitecloud Sky City are suspended in the sky by anti-gravity methods."
Garos narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Such a Fahai is so large that it can support an entire city and operates day and night. It will inevitably consume a considerable amount of energy. How can Nether afford such consumption?"
Even with the size of the empire, supporting the city into the sky is not a simple matter.
Holden In order to achieve this, Xi paid a heavy price.
"Oh? Don't you know?"
Vaqili blinked his eyes, a little surprised at first, then became energetic and said, "It depends on the devil."
"These floating cities are all powered by the Demon Dynasty. In Nether, most of them are from the Aohai Division who have devoted their whole lives to the research of the Demon Dynasty, such as how to extract more energy from the Demon Dynasty, how to make the Demon Dynasty energy more active and easier to control - this sutra collection has become a great science, and I heard that it is divided into many schools."
Demon Dynasty.
Garos certainly knows about the existence of the Demon Dynasty.
Qiu Ran both has the word "net", but it is a completely different thing from Aura's Star Network.
This is a magical power that has existed for many Material World. It was built by a magic god, a high god, and is also part of his Divine Authority.
For those who have a demonic dynasty, they can still borrow power from the demonic dynasty when casting spells. By understanding the demonic dynasty's movement, they can cast spells, making it easier to complete and consume less money.
Moreover, the more Mo Chao is used, the deeper the connection between spell casting and Weave will be, and the easier it will be to mobilize energy.
In short, the more you use this thing, the better it becomes.
Of course, everything has pros and cons.
The evil dynasty also has its drawbacks.
If you are used to casting spells from the Demon Dynasty, once you leave the coverage area of the Demon Dynasty, your strength will be greatly reduced, and you will be much weaker than within the Demon Dynasty.
Therefore, every time this type of spellcasting enters a new environment, the first thing to do is to actively build the nodes of the demon dynasty, expand the coverage of the demon dynasty, and let it radiate to more land, so that it can maintain its status.
Just like Netheril.
Within the territory of the Zonggong Magic Empire, Zaoyi Bumo Dynasty's nodes are everywhere.
And no matter where Netherese Empire's spells go, the construction of the demon dynasty will be promoted.
"When we Dragonkin cast spells, we basically don't need Mo Chao."
Vaqili curled his lips and said, "However, for mages like Nether, staying in the Demon Dynasty is their lifeblood. If one day you see a Mage Nese with a sad face, don't ask, it's probably because his Demon Dynasty energy is not enough."
A demonic dynasty that relies heavily on magic Aya God?
Garos was very keen and immediately understood a key issue, and subconsciously looked up.
It is extremely capable. Netheril This industrial empire is extremely capable of being under the watchful eye of the Magic Yama God, and even under the invisible protection. After all, even if the Ohai Masters of Nese do not have much faith, their existence itself, as well as the admiration and construction of the Demon Dynasty, are all beneficial to the Magic Yama God.
"That's it."
"In other words, the entire Nether is based on the Demon Dynasty."
Garos gathered his thoughts and asked, "So, what if there is a problem with the Demon Dynasty?"
Facing the child, White Dragon in human form moved away.
"Weave What could go wrong?"
"It belongs to the Magic God, it is part of the Magic God, and it is also very crucial. It is said that this god is always concerned about and maintaining the operation of the Demon Dynasty. For countless years, there has never been a single mistake."
"He, nothing will happen if he doesn't sit down."
White Dragon said confidently.
There is some truth to what she said.
The God of Magic is also known as the God of the Origin of Magic and the Mother of Magic.
This is a very well-known and powerful high-level god. Although there is no complete Pantheon behind him, his status is comparable to the master of Pantheon. Many gods with magic-related Divine Authority are either closely related to him or respected by him.
Even among the high-level gods who are as powerful as the clouds, this one is a first-rate being, representing the origin and beginning of magic.
Garos is thinking in his heart.
With such a Greater Deity personally taking care of it, the safety of the Demon Dynasty is indeed very high - compared to Holden's method of absorbing energy from Abyss, these floating cities built on the Demon Dynasty are much safer.
"Same."
"Unless something goes wrong with the Magic God, nothing will happen to this Demon Dynasty, and Netheril will not be affected in any way."
Garos A thought came to mind.
Do you want to introduce the Demon Dynasty in Sacred Aura?
With the current development momentum of the empire, if the Demon Dynasty is introduced, the level of magic will undoubtedly reach a higher level, and the cost of training spellcasters will be greatly reduced. The magic industry and people's livelihood laws will all rise with the tide, and the Demon Dynasty and the Star Dynasty may also produce some wonderful reactions----
But the next second.
Garos shook his head slightly and rejected this method in his heart.
In the final analysis, the demon dynasty is a thing with an owner.
It belongs to Goddess of Magic, and all operating rules are determined by Goddess of Magic.
If the connection between Sacred Aura and it is too deep, it means that the sovereignty has been handed over to the Magic God, and it may be peaceful in peacetime. There is a high probability that the Magic God will be happy to expand the Demon Dynasty, and even establish a close relationship with Sacred Aura and provide some protection.
But.
Once something changes, the associated costs and risks are too high. In comparison, the benefits brought by the Demon Dynasty are not that great. In other words, it is very useful in the empire, but it does not have much value to Garos.
Garos picked up a glass of flowing drink and drank it in one gulp.
He stopped being windy and turned his attention to the food in front of him.
in the following days.
Vaqili is a very competent guide, but it is White Dragon, but she seems to be very good at it at first, or maybe she is keenly aware that Garos is not alone, and she may be able to get more good things by following her----
Whitecloud Sky City's streets and alleys were led by her to visit Shangyi.
Later, they went to other floating cities.
Neseran is an empire of one worker, but it is essentially a complex formed by the union of one worker and magical floating city. The real power is held by the floating city lords, and the meeting of the city owners is their highest power hub.
Each floating city has its own style.
For example, in Whitecloud Sky City, there are many intelligent life forms of different races. In addition, there are floating cities that especially welcome elemental life forms, or the floating city of Zigong gathers all the barbarians who are keen on studying all kinds of fireball magic----
Nether doesn't just have floating cities either.
They also have some cities built under deep water, or even in lava caves. In short, no matter how special they are, the city lords will deliberately choose some very bizarre environments in order to show their nobility and taste.
In this way, several years flew by.
They also wandered around the land of Nether, and witnessed with their own eyes the human hunting festival of Nether's lords, teasing fellow humans as prey, or hiding them from experimenting with their own dharma.
This magical empire seems prosperous and powerful, but it is also quite deformed.
Garos and his party also encountered some troubles.
Powerful spellcasters are still everywhere in the Nether, and many of them can see through the Dragonkin transformation, detect their true race, and regard them as the source of top materials, and hit them with greedy wind spells.
But it's a pity.
There are very few spellcasters who still realize that they are Dragonkin and at the same time realize how dangerous one of them really is.
The degree of arrogance of these Nether masters is higher than that of many Dragon Race.
That's it.
Garos After walking around in Nether for a long time, he gained a clearer understanding of this magical empire. Some of the magical wonders that once would have been awe-inspiring now seem ordinary.
Deborah and Vera also have this method.
So, it's time to leave.
One day, dusk.
On the surface of the meadow, the remaining rays of the sun reflected the place red, as if it was burning.
"Are you leaving Nether?"
White Dragon in human form blinked his eyes and asked, "Where are you going next? In addition to Nether, Faerûn has other empires, but they are not as good as Nether, so you won't go."
Vera said, "The empire is just like that, Dragon Breath Hand Country, we are going to Dragon Breath Hand Country."
"Dragon Breath Hand Country?"
Vaqili tilted his head, and after standing up, he said, "Oh, I've heard that it seems to be a country ruled by two giant dragons? It has risen very quickly in recent years and has occupied a place on the surface of the earth."
She asked doubtfully, "What, are you joining the Dragon Breath Hand Country?"
"Same."
"It is said that this country has attracted many giant dragons to defect to it - just right!"
As if he had made up his mind, White Dragon said, "I am also going to see the Dragon Breath Hand Country, please take me with you!"
77
Vera looked at her sideways and said, "Aren't you reluctant to part with Monster Park's iron rice bowl?"
White Dragon became more serious and said, "It's a job without dignity! I won't do it anymore!"
She seemed to have forgotten who originally shouted that she wanted to stay at Monster Park for at least a hundred years.
At this time, Vaqili changed the topic. "I just don't know if Dragon Breath is welcoming us."
"I heard that Dragon Breath's two-handed mat is very cruel, and a giant dragon came to seek refuge in it. But because he didn't understand the rules, he clashed with Dragon Breath's hands and angered them. They were torn into two pieces on the spot and hung on the city gate to dry for three days and three nights----"
Garos raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it really so cruel?"
White Dragon nodded solemnly. "More real than real gold, so cruel."
After saying that, she saw the person holding the child crossed his arms and said, "Whether it's true or not, they will cheer for my arrival."
White Dragon said, "Oh, I'm looking forward to this scene."
She said this, but she really didn't think so.
Times have changed!
Even if you are a Primordial Dragon, in the Dragon Breath hand country, you are probably not ranked as a front child. Then don't hold your identity and get into trouble, and end up being insulted by Dragon Breath's hands----
White Dragon was worried, and suddenly hesitated whether he should go to Dragon Breath Hand Country.
But in the end, she decided to go and see what a kingdom ruled by dragons looked like.
After that, Garos and his party set off again, rushing towards the direction of Dragon Breath's hand country, taking no time to avoid it, admiring the scenery along the way while rushing on.
At the same time.
Garos Something about Great Expedition arises in his heart.
In the past few years, War Wolves has swept through one Goblins country after another with thunderous momentum, and the red dragon Samantha later also participated in it, destroying all stubborn resistance with its unstoppable and ferocious attitude.
She was wrapped in thick armor with a mirror-like texture of dragon scales all over her body.
All attacks from the Legendary Realm, whether Crown Rank or Destiny Rank, will leave no trace and are indestructible.
War Wolves is not just about conquering either.
Along with them, there were also some special units responsible for guiding the local army and doing some ideological and cultural work. Along the way, the scale of the army continued to expand, and Sacred Aura forever formed a prairie fire on this continent.
Just before the trend.
All the remaining Goblins countries suddenly united under the influence of an idea and launched the final and most violent counterattack against Sacred Aura.
On the battlefield.
Goblin God has arrived.
His followers shed tears for this, believing that this god was a great being who came to save them.
However, this Xinggang was soon ruthlessly crushed.
Before the god could show its majesty, Magnificent Red Dragon appeared and in a rather brutal way, forcibly destroyed the god's body, completely smashing it to pieces.
At this point, Sacred Aura has no other decent resistance to Material Plane's expedition against the one star Material Plane.
What follows is basically some occupation and assimilation of the children.
This is probably the process.
Garos is not sure about other specific king festivals.
In the final analysis, this one-star Material Plane is relatively mediocre. It involves a god, but this god turns out to be only at the level of the God of Work. He doesn't have much interest in it. He only looks at it through the eyes of his followers occasionally and doesn't pay much attention to it.
After this.
Sacred Aura will continue the exploration and expedition to the low star Material Plane to expand the territory of the empire, but at the same time, it will also select a somewhat difficult High-Star Material World as the primary target in the first stage of splitting.
Iron Dragon mentioned before that Material Plane, codenamed Great Tomb, is a candidate.
However, in recent years, there have been some other suitable goals.
Garos decided to wait for a trip to Dragon Breath's mobile country, and then return to Bernardo before making the final decision.
