"I think what the leader is worried about is that Lord Black Lake has the blood of Chromatic Dragon or Exotic Dragon in her body. He is worried that she will continue to be contaminated, so that one day she will become our natural enemy, causing the entire family to fall into destruction."
Ferrum looked at Veloa above. "Zane did not reveal her origin to me, but there is one thing I can guarantee for her. There is absolutely no blood from Chromatic Dragon or Exotic Dragon in Lord Black Lake's body."
"Why do you make such a guarantee?" Veloa said.
"If Zane has the inheritance of Chromatic Dragon and Exotic Dragon, then Zane should have known about their Bloodline Refinement methods. In fact, she knows nothing about them."
Ferrum said, "Moreover, I saw her swallowing Blue Dragon Yuge·Kelangemo."
"This makes us even more uneasy."
Veloa answered.
Whether it is a good dragon or Evil Dragon, Giant Dragon will never devour its own kind. Those who can do such a thing are either a dragon beast that has lost its mind, or a completely crazy dracolich. No matter which one, it has lost its identity as a dragon, making it even more difficult for other dragon group members to accept.
"Zane has her reasons for doing this."
Ferrum whispered, "In the past five years, the strength of my companions has improved more or less. Everyone thought I got Chromatic Dragon Bloodline Refinement's method, Jelierion also relied on this method to advance to Near-Ancient, but as Heavy-Metal Dragon, how could I know Chromatic Dragon's method? Zane told me after eating Blue Dragon."
Veloa fell silent.
The reason why she vows to defend her family's power to the death is, in a sense, to protect Jelierion. In Adult Dragon's long career, she has lost Leisna, Jiakai and Taigo, her sisters and brothers all died, and she also lost her sons Leijieduolei, Jelierion and Hidorivi, which was her only hope left, and she could not bear any more.
Jelierion was promoted to Near-Ancient, which she was proud of, but that secret method came from Zane.
She was really silent for a long time, even remembering her childhood when she was protected by her brothers. It was not until a long time later that Veloa spoke again. Her expression became even more tired, but her voice softened a lot.
"Okay, let's put the Zane matter aside for now, let's just talk about strategy."
Veloa said, "As for Bloodridge Tribes, considering the power of the legendary Titan and the defense of Azure Temple, the family is determined to give up, but we can attack Wave Sea Islands, Red Tide Shoal has accumulated enough longships in twenty years to allow our army to cross the fjord. Wave Sea Islands has abundant resources and a lot of output. After conquest and plunder, it can alleviate the family's current situation."
"Didn't the leader include Black Lake?" Ferrum asked.
"I don't think Zane will obey my orders, so now it seems like that."
Ferrum lowered his eyes and thought. It seems that Zane's fierce pressure during the rally forced the family to react more violently. In order to maintain their dignity and independence, the Great Dragons even gave up Black Lake's power.
However, this is unacceptable to Zane. If she wants to advance War of Conquest against Short-lived Species, she must use all the troops in the territory. More importantly, Red Fort, Streamlands and Steelspine Plains must provide logistical support.
"I still hope the leader can consider Tagoma Kingdom."
Veloa glanced at Nether Dragon: "In your opinion, attacking Tagoma Kingdom is a better choice. What we did was an act of resentment after being provoked by Zane. It is stupid, isn't it?"
"I have no such idea."
Ferrum shook his head. "But I think Zane's talent in warfare is worthy of admiration, so her strategy is also worthy of consideration."
"Of course we have considered it, but Ferrum, today's world structure is different from Giant Dragon's racial memory. Eastern Continent has many Short-lived Species Kingdomss, and there are even our allies among them. These Valyrias should have all been mentioned to you."
Veloa didn't wait for an answer, then continued, "Since you can be called an ally, you must have a power worthy of our attention. Ferrum, you are already Juvenile Dragon and the leader of the children. I will ask a question for you to think about and see if you can answer it."
"In the five thousand years before Scaled Era, dragons and Titan attacked each other. Some races weakened and some rose. But overall, the immortal species were still the masters of the world. Giant Dragon roamed the sky, Titan controls the earth, Naga and Fishfolk are spread across the seas, High Elf and black Dark Elves each occupy one area. We occupy our respective ecological positions and compete with each other for the sovereignty of the world."
"Under such circumstances, Short-lived Species should have no reason to grow, or even exist. Logically speaking, once they pose a threat to the Immortal Species, they will be quickly eliminated."
Veloa The topic changed and his tone became dangerous. "But those humans actually rose up and multiplied rapidly, established one country after another in the Eastern Continent, and created prosperity that we cannot achieve. Why? Ferrum My child, don't you think this is incredible?"
Ferrum recalled what Kेलaili once said in Dragonbirth Day. Cobalt Dragons were also wary of Short-lived Species, but Kेलaili's answer at that time, after thinking about it carefully, now feels wrong.
When it comes to power and knowledge, True Dragon, who has the inheritance, can be called the absolute master. When it comes to creation, adaptation and change capabilities, High Elf and black Dark Elves have always maintained an aggressive attitude. Human beings have no advantage in front of immortal species except for the ability to reproduce.
However, Goblins, Gnoll and Kobold have more than ten times the reproductive capacity of humans, but they are always slaves of the immortal species and cannot rise.
Veloa waited for a while and did not get an answer, so he inspired and said, "Ferrum My child, let me ask you another question. Heavy-Metal Dragon's god is Jialagedong The god of, Chromatic Dragon is Tiamat, the gods of the elves are Lolth and Corellon, so who is the god of the Tagoma Kingdom, the god of humans?"
Ferrum extracted the memory from the inheritance and tentatively answered, "Zarus?"
"Zarus was the creator of the human race, but he died soon after, and those Short-lived Species quickly rose up and grew stronger in all the worlds after his death."
Ferrum felt that he was about to touch the truth, so he waited for the next chapter of Veloa.
"To this day, we still don't know who killed Zarus, but dragon scholars who studied Short-lived Species speculate that his death is most likely because he created the human race. A weak god is not qualified to enjoy such a perfect race."
Veloa took a deep breath. "Perfect, these two words are the definition of human beings by the gods."
"There is no ethnic group in this world with greater desires than humans. They have an extreme desire for everything, but their own strength is very weak. Their short life spans only less than sixty years, and they have to endure disabilities and illnesses that we cannot understand."
"What will they do to realize their inner desires?"
"The answer is to pray to God."
"So from this moment on, this race began to show their terrifying side. They possess the wisdom of immortal species, but are as humble as Short-lived Species. This makes their beliefs both pure and fanatical. In order to realize various desires, they provide far more faith than other races can provide, dedicate their short lives to the gods, and die quickly after producing more devout offspring."
"Are you aware of the problem? Ferrum."
Veloa shook his head. "If we are the predators of the world, humans are the lambs to be slaughtered. These lambs are delicious, but they are sheep raised by the gods. Will those gods, those countless gods, just sit back and watch us prey on their sheep?"
Ferrum hesitated. "But..."
"But Chromatic Dragon is also plundering Short-lived Species Kingdoms's population and materials."
Veloa said, "But that's because Tiamat is strong. Tiamat can resist human Gods, but we no longer have gods and have no ability to provoke such enemies. This is the reason why Taigo has been quarreling with Zane, and the reason why the family opposes attacking Tagoma Kingdom."
