Feather Dragon bit Ferrum's tail and ran away on the spot. Until Ferrum went to find her the next day, Afterglow still had lingering anger on his face.
Ferrum didn't care either and took her sightseeing in Windsong Plateau to see snow-capped mountains, fields, waterfalls and lakes.
"The leader is relatively generous to us descendants, so the tax is just a small matter. If you are really in a pinch, the family will not take it by force."
"Red Fort sent me to Windsong Plateau mainly to remind you that Steelspine Plains is now surrounded by war clouds. There may be small groups of Ogre bypassing the rugged paths and attacking from the Mistveil Mountains, so Windsong Plateau should be prepared."
They walked through the mountain stream while talking to each other.
"Has the war situation on the frontline become so serious?"
"There is no other way. Mountain Titan wakes up, personally assembles an army, and orders Bloodridge Tribes to confront the family on the border."
"Although the fight has not started yet, except for Tungsten Dragon Lord Tinor who is in charge of Streamlands and is in charge of agricultural logistics, the other Great Dragon have already arrived at Ash Fortress, and each Warband is also quickly reorganizing and moving closer to Steelspine Plains."
"Judging from the current situation, Taigo does not seem to be planning to recruit Hatchling Dragon to join the war. However, no one can tell what will happen in the future. You are the most powerful among Hatchling Dragon, so you should prepare early."
"We are always prepared."
Ferrum said.
He looked at Feather Dragon's body shape and found that Afterglow was really good. Dragons are creatures that believe in strength and bloodline. The first thing to observe in aesthetics is strength and bloodline, and then look at whether the scales are bright, whether the body is slender and elegant, whether the face and horns are symmetrical...
Afterglow's beauty was originally famous during the Dragon Hatchling period. Two years after mastering meditation, he defeated the powerful Hidorivi among the dragons, proving his lineage and strength. He was called the ruby of Ochre Valley and was loved by many dragons.
But at that time, she already had her own partner, and she often stayed with Ferrum. Dragons are smart and agile, and Ferrum declared its territory like this, so other little dragons would naturally not go to strike up a conversation or do anything to bring trouble to themselves.
Now that they have reached Hatchling Stage, the cubs have begun to look a bit like Great Dragon. Feather Dragon has grown and developed. Her body is far more gorgeous and moving than the dragon disguise. Her scales and feathers are bright, her body is slender, and when her four wings are spread out in the wind, the whole dragon seems to be glowing with fire.
After finishing talking about the business, Afterglow suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How did you recognize me?"
She was still brooding over what happened yesterday.
"Your magic is so subtle and superb that it is difficult for Transformation Spell to see through it."
Ferrum said, "However, it was you who exposed your identity."
"When was I exposed?"
"You said your name is Kela."
Ferrum smiled, "It sounds like a random pseudonym, but it uses the syllables in Solaxus. If you take the initiative to tell me, can I still think of it?"
If she were a girl from the humanoid race, she would definitely feel ashamed and embarrassed when she heard this, but Afterglow didn't.
She just turned her face and said as if unintentionally, "Jili likes you very much. When she was in Red Fort, she often thought of you and said she didn't know how you were doing, and she was worried that you would be in danger on the platform, so she was anxious. She always hoped that she could learn quickly, pass tests and trials, and come out of Red Fort as soon as possible."
"It's a pity that the person Jili misses doesn't care about her. You have lived a good life here. You have become a mountain lord, ruling the land and subjects here. You are free and have a high position. You must have forgotten her, right? So two years have passed, and you haven't even sent a letter to Red Fort, not a word."
Ferrum stood next to her and looked sideways at her. "Are you angry?"
Afterglow does not answer.
"I didn't send a message because I planned to go to Red Fort to see you in person after rectifying Windsong Plateau. However, there are many chores here. You also know the personalities of Kेलaili and Moqi. I have no helpers, so I can only do many things myself."
Ferrum said, "Windsong Plateau is our territory, and you will come here sooner or later, so I have to work harder to take care of everything to facilitate your settlement. In addition, I really didn't expect you to come so fast. Red Fort You completed it in two years during the five-year semester."
Afterglow still doesn't speak.
Ferrum turned his face, looked at the canyon in the distance, and said softly, "I was very happy to see you coming. I suddenly felt that the scenery on the platform was much more beautiful."
"I am now First Huntmaster."
Afterglow finally spoke, "Dragonbirth Day When we parted, I said I would challenge you next time we meet. Ferrum·Solaxus, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
Ferrum knew that she wanted to show off in front of him and wanted to see her progress, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "What good will it do to me to accept your challenge?"
Afterglow bared his teeth. "You still want benefits?"
"Of course, Kेलaili wanted to challenge me before and also placed gold coins as a bet. Do you have any gold coins you can give me?"
Ferrum asked. Seeing Afterglow shaking his head, he continued, "Well, let me make a condition. If you lose, you won't have to endure the wind and rain on the cliff at night. You can live with me for the next few days, and you can massage and pour wine for me."
Afterglow raised his feathers and looked at him, thinking for a moment.
Ferrum glanced at her and shook his head. "If you are not sure about defeating me, then such a challenge is meaningless, so forget it."
"If I win, you give me ten gold coins."
Afterglow said, "I like the mountains and wilderness. The scenery here is very good. I don't want to ruin it because of the fighting. I want to change it."
Feather Dragon is a fire-type dragon, and she uses magic herself. Once she exerts her full strength, it can easily cause a fire. Afterglow has regarded the mesa as her home, and of course she must protect the environment here.
"So you agree to live with me?" Ferrum asked.
"If we lose, we'll live together."
Afterglow smiled softly, "You don't even have strong wings, you can't fly. You want to do bad things in your head, but what can you actually do?"
"Then let's start the war somewhere else."
Ferrum snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Mistveil Mountains peripheral, Fangtooth Valley.
This was originally a gathering place for Armor-Splitting Scorpion, but now all the Armor-Splitting Scorpion have been killed and turned into a ruins with no grass growing. Only rugged rocks and dry animal bones are left in the valley.
Afterglow flew by, its body was light and stretched, its wing feathers swept away the clouds, leaving behind large pieces of tiny sparks.
Ferrum stood at Vale, looking up at the shadow in the sky. Looking from the ground, Afterglow suddenly no longer looked like a dragon, but instead looked like a proud phoenix.
He folded the membrane wings, which were as bright as silver, but did not unfold them. Although Ferrum could now glide over short distances, compared with Feather Dragon, who was born to dominate the air, his flying ability was still too weak, so he had no intention of competing in aerial combat.
"Come on."
As Ferrum nodded in greeting, the battle began immediately.
Feather Dragon's four wings staggered and folded, and she suddenly swooped down. Flames ignited from the wing tips and quickly gathered into dozens of bright fire feathers. The strong wind flowed backwards against her scales and feathers, leaving a red trail.
"Be careful."
After being pressed to a low altitude, Afterglow suddenly flapped its wings. "Don't underestimate me."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the fire blades around her spurted out, like a Meteoric Fire Rain falling from the sky, shooting towards Vale at extremely fast speeds.
Chrome Dragon started moving before the fire plume fell, running with its limbs close to the ground, and the silver-white figure walked through the rocks at high speed.
The first fire feather nail penetrated the position where he had just stayed, and exploded with a bang. Red flames flowed along the cracks in the rock, followed by the second and third...
Fangtooth Valley was instantly blown up, with rubble flying and dust and fire intertwined into a ball.
Ferrum turned around, looked at the exploding rocks, felt the heat wave hitting his face, and his expression changed slightly.
You've only been studying for two years?
" I have written down the magic spells taught by Lilen, regardless of whether I have the ability to use them now."
Afterglow saw his confusion. "Bloodline Refinement's meditation and the meditation to accumulate magic power, I also master them all. Lilen can't teach me anything more. Except for the difference in Disaster Level, there is no difference between me and the great spell caster among mortals."
