The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Chapter 31 Kobolds and Ringing Eggs [Revised]

"What? Get out!"

When Ron was making the magic construct just now, he discovered that there was a weak life reaction in the dense jungle ahead.

I originally thought it might be a first-order monster: a jackal rabbit or a fire rat, but Ron was too lazy to drive them away.

Anyway, he is in his true form now and has not released the transformation technique to shrink his body.

No matter what low-level monster sees this behemoth that is nearly twenty meters long, they will crawl to the ground or turn around and run away.

But this weak creature in the jungle was different. It didn't run away after discovering Ron. Instead, it approached dozens of meters and then stopped there to observe him.

This kind of reaction is either a fool or an intelligent creature.

"Xixixi."

The dense branches and leaves were pushed aside, and a 2-meter-tall kobold with a metallic luster on his skin and blood all over his body emerged from the woods.

He knelt down on the ground facing Ron.

He stuttered and spoke in the unpronounceable dragon language, which is the natural language of the kobold clan.

Don't underestimate this weak guy, they are also a kind of dragon descendants, with extremely thin dragon blood in their bodies.

"Under the crown of the great true dragon, the humble kobold Kree greets you. Your scales are as tough as iron, your body is strong enough to smash the castle door, and you are swifter than an eagle in flight."

It praised Ron's beauty, but this was nonsense. No one in the entire star world knew the beauty of the iridescent dragon.

"My eyes cannot see clearly in the middle of the night, and my offense to you is unintentional. Please forgive me, Lord True Dragon, for this sinful act that deserves death. I will offer you my eternal loyalty."

The kobold begged Ron again for mercy.

Ron looked at the overly strong kobold in front of him and listened to his confession impatiently.

Mainly because the dragon language this guy spoke was so unpleasant that it sounded like noise to him.

This was the first time he encountered a kobold creature after coming to the Karen plane.

There are very few humanoid intelligent creatures in the Warcraft Forest around Oracle Town. This is because the surrounding area has been cleared more than once by passing mercenary groups.

The same is true for other cities.

The monster forests around human cities have basically been plowed countless times, and the powerful monsters have long been killed or driven to other places.

Unlike other main planes, the human kingdom in the Karen plane is a bit too powerful. They occupy more than 70% of Karen's fertile land and drive out all high-level monsters.

The remaining weak monsters also belong to the deliberate breeding mode. After all, the production of advanced weapons and armor requires strategic items such as magic cores.

Once a powerful mutant monster appears around, the teachers from Oracle Town Magic Academy will form a group to fight against it.

I didn't recruit you for free.

They say it is a magic academy, but in fact they are the real masters of Oracle Town. Many teachers have never taught a few students in their lives and are only responsible for force work.

The guards in the city are basically responsible for public security in the city and do not have strong combat capabilities.

————

Looking at the kobold kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in front of him, Ron suddenly thought of Gandalf.

Although the old man swore loyalty to him and Vivian, he still had to guard against him. This special kobold might be able to use it.

"Stand up, weak kobold, and answer your master's questions. Why is your body so different from that of ordinary kobolds?"

Ron recognized this kobold as his Nth family member.

When he went to the dragon beast mother area before, he also collected a few dependents, but they were all unpalatable scum of the third and fourth levels.

These Warcraft descendants are mainly used to provide him with coordinates and find targets. Their bodies have been engraved with teleportation magic circles by Ron. Once he encounters the mission target, Ron can quickly come to them.

[Goal 3: Visit the city flying in the sky and taste the water of life]

Ron had previously considered creating a dragon-affiliated empire to search for information about Target Three.

But compared to smart humans, getting these reckless beasts to go around the world to search for information is as difficult as getting the kobolds to blow the horn against the real dragon.

In comparison, it is more reliable to seize the dominance of a human kingdom.

Moreover, there should be many unique books that record history stored in the royal family. These are witnesses of real history, rather than rough historical reference books like "Karen's Encyclopedia".

"Under the great True Dragon Crown, thank you for your forgiveness. Your greatness is as great as the sea."

"Stop, stop, talk about the key points!"

Ron had to interrupt the kobold's praise. If he allowed this guy to continue speaking, he might not be able to finish it at dawn.

Don’t underestimate the praise the kobold clan has accumulated for the dragon over the years!

"As you command, great true dragon."

The sturdy kobold did not raise his head, but still maintained his posture of prostrating himself to the ground and said respectfully.

"In fact I was born from a [ringing egg]"

"This body has been like this since I was born. The people around me regarded me as their leader, and elected me as their leader when they grew up. It wasn't until we were defeated by the group of drow that we ended up like this."

The kobold was chattering about his experience, and Ron had already entered a state of meditation.

He knows the drow.

This kind of elves living in dark dungeons have been expelled from the elves by the high elves.

What's interesting is that all the high elves in this plane have disappeared, leaving only the snow elves and drow elves who were expelled from the elves.

But this has nothing to do with him.

After hearing the word "ringing egg", Ron began to search for information in the two dragon heritages.

He remembered seeing this name before.

After flipping through it for a while, I finally found it in the corner of my memory.

found it!

Ron clicked on this entry, and a lot of information came to his mind:

Because the kobolds have dragon blood, their reproduction method is oviparous. Female kobolds will lay 2-5 eggs at a time after pregnancy.

Occasionally, by chance, a kobold will lay an extremely rare kobold egg, which makes a metallic sound when tapped with its claws.

The tribe hides these special eggs from enemies until they hatch.

The kobolds hatched from these metallic eggs will become the strongest of their generation and the future chiefs of the kobold tribe.

Usually, such kobolds hatched from [ringing eggs] will become brave men who only serve metal dragons or gem dragons, as if this is their destiny.

For the kobold clan, this is a supreme honor. [Metal dragons usually do not take kobolds as their dependents]

But the kobolds never talk openly about the ringing egg.

It's a secret that's only mentioned tactfully even in a popular kobold folklore, in which a kobold warrior in the service of a golden dragon returns to kill all her kin and childhood friends.

[Ron: Killing relatives for justice? Isn't this a pure beast? 】

Some kobolds see this as a good reason to track down and destroy the ringing eggs of any other kobolds, but these selfish creatures never consider destroying their own tribe.

Colored dragons who know the ringing eggs will do whatever they can to find and destroy them, but they rarely find this rare egg, and the vast majority of kobolds and colored dragons have never seen this legendary egg in their lives.

It is worth mentioning that

Few metallic dragons admit to caring about the variation in kobold reproduction, but that doesn't mean they don't notice the situation and find ways to exploit it.

[Ron: You really want its loyalty, but you still can’t shame it and come to find it? 】

Explanations for the magic behind the phenomenon range from Bahamut's secret blessing to an ancient archmage's curse.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can't tell that your background is not simple."

Ron probably understood the origin of this kobold. Did he also meet the "legendary species" among kobolds?

The legendary dragon seed harvests the "legendary seed" kobold, which seems to be a good match.

Ron scratched his chin and thought, then flicked his tail and threw a scale in front of the kobold, with a little red blood on the scale.

He left this on purpose.

"Foolish kobold, from now on you have no choice but to serve me.

If you let me know that you are shaking your head at other metal dragons, you will face the wrath of a real dragon! "

The strong kobold quickly lowered his head lower and shouted words such as gratitude, eternity, and loyalty.

He pressed a shallow mark on the ground beneath its face.

Ron nodded slightly, the loyalty of the kobolds can be trusted.

This is their nature and they will never betray their dragon master.

"Now, I will grant you supreme glory!

Take up my scales, become a powerful dragon-veined kobold, and go find what I need! "

Ron watched the kobold in front of him raise his body.

He respectfully picked up the bloody dragon scale, then used his claws to cut a huge wound on his chest, and endured the severe pain to graft the dragon scale onto his chest.

[Dragon Veined Kobold: The kobold makes a service agreement with the dragon and symbolizes its loyalty by grafting the discarded scales of its owner onto the muscles of its chest. It will gain powers associated with its master's elemental energy, but give up its individuality and free will. 】

This scale is the best contract. From now on, this kobold will be controlled by Ron alone.

After being embedded with dragon scales, it takes a while for the kobold's body to evolve into a dragon-veined kobold.

And Ron didn't have the patience to wait for him to slowly evolve.

He told the kobold his first mission: live here in Oracle Town, be careful not to be discovered by others, and at the same time search for the information Ron needed.

Then, Ron turned and left.

He will leave Oracle Town in a few days. Dragon Veined Kobold is just a casual move, and he doesn't have high expectations.

The moment before he unfolded his dragon wings and took off, Ron suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to the kobold kneeling on the ground.

"By the way, I don't like your name very much."

"You will call me from now on"

Ron paused, thought for a moment, and smiled wickedly.

"From now on, you'll be called Hogg."
