Black Dragon Code

The floor of the king's court is light-colored, the color gets darker as you go in, and finally becomes pure black. Military boots will make a crisp echo when stepping on the marble. The guards here are all dragonborn and strengthened by radiation. The latter dragonborn looks not much different from the real pure-blooded dragons, just as huge and strong.

Kelendor kept his eyes on and moved forward meticulously. After the turn, there was a long and wide marble corridor painted with beautiful patterns. It is not difficult to pass through the corridor of the imperial court. The difficulty lies in the presence of so many people. Surrounded by the dragonborn, they walked through the corridor, but fortunately, Kelendor was calm enough after the wind and rain, and did not show any embarrassment.

Just before he was about to step into the royal court hall, he saw the high-ranking empire-Ren who happened to come out of it. The demilich received some kind of reward, and seemed to be in a good mood. The fire of souls in his eye sockets was bubbling, and when he passed by Kelendo, he chanted "Angramo" in his mouth and looked at him in a friendly manner. Nodding his head, it calmed down Kelendo's nervousness a lot.

The war lizard guards pushed open the tall and heavy door for him, and when he passed by, the stone door closed again with a bang.

"Commander of the Ocean Fleet, Captain of the Grip of the Empire, Kelendo Statham greets you, Your Majesty, your majesty is supreme."

Klondor knelt down on one knee, resting his left hand on his chest, holding the commander's sword in front of him with his right hand, and bowed his head in salute. This is the greeting gesture of the emperor.

"You don't even look up, how do you know that my majesty is supreme?"

There was a burst of laughter from the throne ahead, and the voice sounded like the thunder when the dark clouds gathered on the sea, "Get up, Commander. I am glad to see you back."

Kelendo stood up, raised his head, his pupils shrank and then dilated, and then returned to normal, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart caused by meeting the real dragon.

"I think we have a lot to talk about, Commander."

When he looked at the dragon carefully, the dragon was also examining him. Krondo guessed that maybe it was because His Majesty the Emperor had to meet too many people every day, and it took him a while to remember himself.

"We successfully landed in Veloster on 275th, 1660, and conducted a 180-day exploration of the New World. The ocean-going fleet brought back hundreds of detailed materials. I also submitted a report to the royal court , I hope these will not disappoint you, Your Majesty." Kelendo said calmly.

"Well, I think I'll go and see."

Heilong seemed to be distressed by those written reports and materials, he rubbed his head, and then changed the topic: "But before that, I want to hear your description, Commander,

What happened to my fleet when they discovered the New World? Also, your personal opinion on Veloster. "

"There are a lot of things that happened. If Your Majesty is willing to listen, I would be more than happy to tell you about them. But before that, there is one situation that I must explain to you."

"Um?"

"Our fleet can reach Veloster."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"No, Sire. Only the Great Northern Empire can do that."

Krondo licked his lips, and the familiar topic made him confident, and his speech became smooth and moderate: "As we all know, Veloster is a land of law-aversion. And according to our observation, within a distance of Lost A million miles away from the sea, the dead magic zone has already begun to appear."

"This means that other countries in Elradia—such as the empire on which the sun never sets, the trading city-states, and the river countries—cannot sail warships driven by magic technology into the Veloster Sea. To reach that place, these countries can only Rely on ancient ocean-going sailing ships."

"We are different. Although we encountered various failures on the way, and the stability of the battleship without the assistance of magic technology is questionable, but with the joint efforts of the crew, the battleship Empire's Grip finally sailed into Velos. Very close to the sea." When he said this, Kelendo's eyes shone with pride.

"You mean, at this stage, no country in Elradia can compete with the Empire for Veloster, right?"

"In the future too."

Krondo affirmed: "I know that those countries will also learn and find ways to learn from plagiarism, but as long as the empire does not change its support for the shipyard workshop, the northern empire will always be one step ahead of them in the core technology of non-magic warfare. level, our ocean-going fleet will always be an era ahead of them, or even more."

"Perhaps." Caesar nodded lightly, not seeming to care much.

He is very clear that steam power is not a difficult problem to overcome in the third era. If the Northern Empire wants to truly form a technical barrier to other countries, it has to wait until it enters the era of internal combustion, and this is exactly what the Northern Empire is currently facing. Technical problems take time to accumulate.

The black dragon raised its huge jaw, indicating that Kelendo could sit down on the iron chairs on both sides of the hall and talk slowly, but there is no need to think about expecting someone to make tea and water. Many etiquette rules in the royal court follow the habits of dragons. way, which is very different from that of human beings.

Even so, after the imperial officials had the opportunity to learn about these things, they all imitated them, trying to make the etiquette and habits somewhat similar to those of dragons. Let’s make a bold guess, if the black dragon expresses its preference for long-legged human girls in public one day , then the status of long-legged girls everywhere will immediately rise, and they will be vying for pursuit, which can be regarded as a form of following and worship.

Krondo put the commanding sword back into its sheath, sat down on a seat suitable for humans (the seats on both sides of the royal court have various shapes, some of which are obviously not made for humans), and then said: "Although Veloster is It is a law-averse land, but the climate is mild, the land is fertile, and the products are rich. I have to admit that the land there is more fertile than the Northland, and the terrain is flat, suitable for large-scale arable land, farms, pastures, and plantations."

The black emperor's claws tapped lightly on the iron chair, and there was a steel echo of metal collisions: "I know this. There are similar records in other countries' investigation reports on Veloster. The shapeshifter told me. Let's do it first. Tell me about Veloster's ecology, native species."

"Same as surveys in other countries, there is an unknown number of indigenous peoples in Veloster. They are a red-eyed, dark-skinned, sparse-haired race. They are tall and strong, generally over two meters high. Just by looking at their stature Loosely resembling orcs, our crew all refer to them as 'Little Giants'."

"Have you ever had contact?" Caesar asked.

"We try to have a friendly exchange with them."

Kelendo lowered his head: "But it's difficult. No matter how we meet, these natives will immediately attack us with bone spears and feather arrows. The warriors of the native races are some strong and some weak. The few we have come into contact with All the coastal tribes seem to worship a god named Artuso, and use bloody sacrifices to empower tribal warriors. Later, we searched all the books related to the gods, but we couldn’t find Artuso’s name. A vain god who doesn't exist."

"Maybe it's an evil god." Caesar said, through Kelendo's description, he had a general understanding of the natives of Veloster, and outlined a first impression in his mind.
