Chapter 129: Chapter 49: Dragon Bloodline! A juvenile dragon.
It ate a hefty fish weighing over ten pounds, then slept for an entire day and night, waking up to leave a large pile.
This was Duncan’s first alien human form.
Fortunately, Duncan’s first human form was a human; otherwise, he would have started off as a reptile.
Currently, Duncan’s territory is in a peaceful development stage, and the Saxon pirates have temporarily not invaded. They’re busy fighting the Picts and, incidentally, also declared war on King Uther. Perhaps because Duncan’s reputation has recently become too illustrious, King Uther wishes to gain fame on the battlefield, thus he led the Sarmatian knights under the Dragon Head Banner to counterattack the Eastern Saxon Chieftain Kingdom, eventually getting struck by an axe on the battlefield. The extent of his injury remains unknown.
It’s certain that he didn’t die. King Uther actually won, a minor victory, though he sustained some injuries himself.
The Kingdom of Camelot retook Stafford, though they suffered a slight loss near Cheshire. Overall, it can be considered territory reclaimed. With the legendary wizard Merlin guarding him, King Uther is unlikely to die suddenly, unlike the case of the Duke of Dingtiger. Such an event is unlikely to happen to a monarch with a powerful wizard by his side.
For now, Duncan is rather relaxed, training soldiers daily and properly training the recruited riders. He already has one hundred and twenty riders under his command, but most are light cavalry.
Within the entire territory, whether Anya, Triss, or Severus, everyone is incredibly busy.
Everyone assumes Duncan’s education level is not high, and he’s not very adept at internal affairs, so they handle the specific matters and even take the initiative to recruit talents on their own. The Crow Queen, Triss, is responsible for maintaining the polytheistic faith, avoiding faith conflicts that could lead to public order problems. Anya focuses on economic production, preparing to rebuild the market district, and incidentally, elevate the fishing industry.
Severus is really impressive!
He is a Druid, and it’s widely known that Druids aren’t farmers, otherwise, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Severus is responsible for overseeing the agricultural sector. Anya dislikes farming, viewing it as something for lower-class people, so she dispatched a former farm overseer to help. In addition to responsibility for agriculture, Severus has to communicate with the indigenous tribes and help them resume agricultural production while also finding a piece of land for Duncan to keep his horses because Duncan mentioned needing a cavalry force in the future.
He’s indeed busy, so busy his feet don’t touch the ground, and he’s rarely seen during the day.
But surprisingly, when Duncan saw him again, Severus’s mark had already changed.
——Severus (Druid) (Avalon) (Legendary) [Two-star Gold].
He became a heroic unit.
Perhaps it was because Mist-covered Avalon had backed Duncan, and during this time, Celtic legends have been reviving in the secular world, greatly influencing the indigenous Britons, so Severus also rose with the tide, even meeting the legendary Lake Fairy.
However, there is still one who hasn’t changed, and that is Anya, who thinks of nothing but galloping on horseback every day, still at the level of a two-star whiteboard.
Thus, time calmly entered a buffering phase, and Duncan was also improving himself, learning knowledge under the guidance of the library manager.
A day passed quickly.
The next day, he almost logged in right on time, entering the Dimension Space only to see the juvenile dragon had left another large pile.
A juvenile dragon has only one hosting mode—Dragon Memory Inheritance.
Duncan rarely allows his consciousness to enter the second human form because crawling is uncomfortable, and he has to control the wings and tail. The projection page from a god’s-eye perspective suits him better for controlling the alien human form.
——"I should find some stones to eat." (Dragon Memory Inheritance).
No question about it.
Keep digging open the ice cave.
This place is cold enough to freeze quickly, but the juvenile dragon doesn’t care, completely ignoring the cold.
"Feels like my appearance has changed a bit, the dragon scales are somewhat ice-blue."
Yesterday, the juvenile dragon was semi-transparent white; today, it’s close to a pale ice blue, but mostly still looks like a white dragon. It seems the body has not fully developed. Biological juveniles are quite cute, and the juvenile dragon doesn’t seem as ferocious, weighing just over thirty pounds, similar to a small dog. After eating, it probably gained a few more pounds.
"Eating stones? For trace elements?"
"Quite an appetite."
Duncan controlled the juvenile dragon to dig open the ice cave and dive to the bottom of the water, increasing the energy bar by about a third. The growth rate of the dragon is astonishing as this energy bar and life bar already exceed that of an average adult male.
——Not this one.
——Nor this one.
——It’s this one, eat it.
At the lake bottom, for every pebble it found, the juvenile dragon would sniff it. It could breathe underwater; the Dragon Memory Inheritance would tell it whether it could eat it. Finally, it ate a small stone with a blue surface and a brownish-yellow small stone.
——This should be enough.
——Time to catch some fish.
The juvenile dragon nearly choked on the stones, swallowing them down forcefully, and then cheerfully caught fish, bumping into the thick ice layer when nearing the surface.
——Don’t go up, it’s dangerous up there; the juvenile dragon is too weak.
Duncan controlled the second human form to eat a bellyful of fish and found that as the energy bar increased, the juvenile dragon’s active time also increased.
——You should now hibernate, waiting to grow further.
The Dragon Memory prompts surfaced.
But Duncan saw that the juvenile dragon’s energy bar was still plentiful, so he decided to observe the surroundings.
——You shouldn’t go out on an adventure now.
——Oh, another curious little guy who loves adventure.
——Well, good luck to you!
Three prompts from the Dragon Memory Inheritance appeared in quick succession, seeming a bit anxious, then completely vanished.
Apparently, some dragons aren’t very obedient to the Dragon Memory Inheritance.
