At the same time, Roddy naturally did not know that Sally was about to arrive in Elsen City. In fact, he had written several letters to Sally after returning to Elsen City. This Duke's reply was very fast, and his words were full of hope that he could find time to attend a "meeting" — of course, the "meeting" was a pretense, and the real purpose was to see Roddy. Efta's situation was stable and thriving, and now it was winter. Why would there be a need for a group of nobles to attend a meeting?
But with the appearance of Victor in Elsen City, the political situation suddenly changed. The 'cabinet meeting' had obviously become necessary. Rody did indeed have the idea of convening a meeting, so he mentioned it in his most recent letter to Sally. However, he did not expect that before he received a reply, he would come out with more than ten dragons.
This was a trip that Roddy had to make. Camilla was still trapped in the crystal ball. Although she did not have to worry about food and clothing, Elsen City could not do without a "guardian." He looked down at the forest and the land that flew past, and his mind was full of the problem of zirconium crystal.
Like Nora, who had been wrapped in a spell by Kardashian, Roddy was now under the neck of the Frost Dragon Lord, Victor. Dragons basically did not allow any creatures other than their own race to ride on their necks, so there was this way of carrying. He looked around. Sodelor and Nora were also flying under the necks of the dragons on both sides, but they did not look as calm as he did.
In addition to Victor and Kardashian, there were also ten Frost Dragons. When they arrived in Elsen City, they were all in their dragon form, and when their huge bodies landed on the square, it was really spectacular. But these Dragons were obviously cold, and they almost ignored Roddy, Sodelor, and Nora, who were traveling with them, probably because of the generally cold and arrogant character of the Frost Dragon Race.
They were obviously not like humans, who liked to observe and cater to their superiors. So even though Victor spoke politely to Roddy, no one would think highly of Roddy. From the moment they took off from Elsen City to the moment they landed in the middle of the forest, they were as silent as ice.
The Dragon Spear Knights had been running for several days with all their might, but with the help of the Colossal Dragons, it only took them a little more than an hour to arrive. From then on, Sodelor had a deep understanding of the horrors of "air power". Finally, he became very interested in the "air force" that Roddy had mentioned in one of their conversations. However, his main task now was to guide Victor and the others.
"We witnessed the mutation process here. At that time, this canyon …"
This was the place where the Cosworth Earth Dragon was burned. Standing above the canyon, Roddy scanned the canyon that was completely different from what he remembered. He secretly sighed at the destructive power of the Cosworth Earth Dragon. In his memory, this was a typical place to kill a boss with the help of the terrain. God knows how many Cosworth Earth Dragons had died in the huge canyon, but none had ever escaped.
But now, this mutated guy not only escaped, but also crashed into a part of the canyon. Roddy looked at the charred marks and the rubble on the ground, and could not help but sigh at the destructive aura of "demonification".
"Basta, go check it out."
Victor summoned one of the Colossal Dragons. The latter nodded, turned into a human and stepped down. This was because the body of the Colossal Dragon was too big. If they went down directly, they would be squeezed by the narrow mountain walls on both sides. The other Giant Dragons stood silently on both sides, not looking sideways at all. They did not speak, so Nora and Sodelor became even more reserved. But to ease the atmosphere, Roddy dragged the two to Victor's side and carefully explained the details of the battle.
Victor was naturally willing to listen more. After all, the temptation of the "space-time rift" was great. As they spoke one after another, Kardashian had already turned into a human and was sitting on a cliff looking down. Her two slender legs were swinging back and forth, completely like a child with ADHD who was bored to death.
Roddy glanced at her and inexplicably wanted to laugh, but Kardashian noticed his gaze and glared back at him.
But with Victor around, this lady had to suppress her boredom no matter how bored she was. Not long after, the Colossal Dragon called Basta flew up and brought over a few black fragments. He reported in a low voice, "My Lord, these should be the scales on its body from the beginning."
Victor sensed for a moment, nodded, and then said, "This mutation only appeared because it was induced. I'm afraid it had been suppressing it for a long time before this."
With that, he took everyone to explore the territory of the Cosvo Dragon. The biggest feature of the "space-time rift" was that it did not have any fluctuations. Unless it was seen with one's own eyes, it was difficult to find a trace even if there was a leaf obscuring one's eyes. If magic was used to touch it, there was the risk of it collapsing. This was also the reason why Victor asked for the help of ten Frost Dragons. To put it bluntly, when it came to finding the "plane rift," it was useless no matter how high the level of magic was, because it could not sense it at all. It could only rely on its eyes to find it.
As the overlord of a region, the territory of the Cosvo Dragon was huge. And the "space-time rift" was likely to be hidden in the corner of this area. According to Victor's inference, perhaps the Cosvo Dragon itself was not aware of its existence. Otherwise, it was likely to be torn apart by space because it was too close to the space-time rift.
"So … the space-time rift can still be entered?"
"It can be entered, but a broken or incomplete rift, even if I go in, can't guarantee that I can come out alive."
Victor casually waved his hand, and the magic locked on the nest of the Cosvo Dragon. After all, this should be the place where the Earth Dragon stayed the longest, so the group stepped in. However, under the light, the large lizard eggs in the nest that were flashing with purple light suddenly made everyone look at each other.
These eggs had obviously lost the breath of life. Looking at it, hundreds of fist-sized lizard eggs were basically destroyed. It was obvious that after the Earth Dragon left, they were taken as food by other creatures.
The purple under the light was the reflection of the surface of the eggshell. Although the residual fluctuations had faded, Roddy could still distinguish the smell from the Demonic Plane in the fishy smell. Naturally, Victor also noticed this, so his face suddenly became gloomy.
"If it can reproduce after demonization, then it will be troublesome."
In the records of the Dragons, there were two forms of creatures with "demonic blood". According to Roddy's understanding, it could be divided into "dominant" and "recessive". This was not referring to the form of genetic expression, but the degree of influence of the creature by the demonic blood. Because of the demonic invasion more than seven hundred years ago, many creatures had the blood of the Demonic Plane, but they did not show a very strong desire to attack, and even on the surface, there was no difference between them and their own kind. Like normal creatures, they could continue to reproduce and continue the bloodline, and this bloodline would become thinner and thinner with each generation.
This was "recessive".
As for creatures like the Cosworth Earth Dragon that displayed the characteristics of "demonization", they were collectively referred to as "dominant". All of them would lose the ability to reproduce because of the substantial changes in their bodies. This was also the reason why the demonic disaster could gradually subside, otherwise there would be no other creatures on the continent now.
But these purple eggshells, although could not prove that the "dominant" demons could reproduce, obviously worried Victor.
Roddy immediately thought of the shocking fluctuation before the "Demonic Gate" closed. Maybe this was the Demon Monarch's plot?
"There may be more things behind this that need to be verified. Now that I think about it, I still have to thank you for capturing the Cosvo Dragon alive. This alone saved a lot of trouble."
Victor expressed his gratitude very solemnly, and Roddy quickly bowed. When he got up, he found that a new mission had appeared in the [Mission Pane].
Coincidentally, this mission was similar to the one Edith provided, both belonging to the blue "repeatable mission".
[Cooperative Combat]
Lord Victor needs more samples of special demonized creatures for research, hope you can provide more clues.
Mission Objective: Special Demonized Creature Sample 0/1
Mission Reward: Frost Dragon Race Reputation + 500 points
Summon the Frost Dragon Race to help you fight for an hour (once)
Roddy really did not expect to receive a mission from the Dragons Lord. He flipped through the [Reputation Pane] and found that the "Frost Dragon Race" column had somehow become "Friendly". When he killed Vaissam, it was "Hostile".
This kind of mission should be repeatable. For example, if Roddy found three samples, then he could receive the reward three times.
But now Roddy was more concerned about the [Arcane Light: Awaken] mission, but he could not find the "plane crack", let alone the zirconium crystal. He could not rush it.
After saying that, Victor carefully collected the fragments, and then began to let the other dragons search for the "plane crack". Roddy looked around and felt that his level was far from the Dragons', so he put away the thought of causing trouble, called Sodelor and Nora and ran outside to wait.
The other ten Dragons ignored the three of them, their cold attitude making Sodelor and Nora uncomfortable. Roddy did not care at all. They were people from different worlds, to begin with, and trying to get close to them was just asking for trouble.
"Flying here is exciting, right? Do you have any thoughts about the air force? "
Standing outside the cave, Roddy and Sodelor chatted about the construction of the army. He had already tried to find the zirconium crystal, but it obviously only appeared around the "space-time crack". As expected, he did not find anything.
"Do I have to tame the Needle-Tailed Sand Awl? But I'm afraid that will take a long time. "
"Sylvia has a project that involves this. The concept of 'air force' is something we did not know before, but it will definitely be very important on the battlefield in the future. You should have felt this when you looked down on the land … "
"I once imagined the feeling of being in the sky, but I did not expect it to be so shocking. I —"
