A team marched slowly across the verdant fields.

The size of the team is actually not large, that is, only four people, but because there is a tall and powerful creature in the team, this journey makes this team a little eye-catching.

This creature is the mutated Imperial Dragon named Blackstone.

Emperor Dragon is an evolutionary branch of the Earth Walking Dragon that has the blood of the Black Dragon, but only the mutated Earth Walking Dragon individuals with a blood blood concentration of more than 40% but less than 50% in their body can evolve into an Emperor Dragon when the blood power in their body is activated. And the next level than the Emperor Dragon is the Black Rock Earth Walking Dragon, that is, the sixth-level demonic beast that Sean saw near Black Rock Town, as for the level higher than the Emperor Dragon, there are several types, these are basically more than 50% of the bloodline concentration, so for these individual players, they will be collectively referred to as the subspecies of Black Dragon.

There is actually no difference in size between the Emperor Dragon and the Black Rock Earth Dragon, under normal circumstances, the Emperor Dragon is slightly taller than the Black Rock Earth Dragon, but it will not be much higher, so on the whole, the gap between the two is not big. It's just that since the blood thickness of the Emperor Dragon can be higher than that of the Black Rock Earth Walking Dragon, then this proves that the Emperor Dragon must be stronger than the Black Rock Earth Walking Dragon, and this strength is mainly reflected in the two aspects of attack power and recovery power, as for defense and endurance, there is actually no difference between the Emperor Dragon and the Black Rock Earth Walking Dragon.

But that's just about the Emperor Dragon and the Black Rock Earth Walking Dragon, which only mutated and evolved once.

Rena's imperial dragon must not be theorized as normal.

Although it is not uncommon for wurms to mutate twice, they usually do not appear in wurms whose bloodlines have taken on a dominant state. Normally, the first mutation can be attributed to the awakening of the bloodline, but the second mutation is completely impossible to explain in this way, which is equivalent to saying that a new species is being born - and under normal circumstances. After mutating once and awakening the bloodline, this kind of wurm will basically go to the path of evolution.

Like the Black Rock Earth Dragon that Sean encountered before, although its success rate in the end is very low, once it succeeds, it will transform into a real black dragon. Dragons like this one that have evolved successfully will generally no longer be called Warcraft, because they have completely transcended the concept of Warcraft and have completely become legendary beings.

As for those individuals who mutate more than twice, they are usually created by some kind of accident, in fact, they can only be regarded as new varieties of wurm, and they still do not leave the category of Warcraft in essence. And there are very few that can reach the level of an eighth-level demonic beast.

Blackstone's situation, however, was clearly impossible to speculate on with any common sense that Sean knew.

Although it underwent another mutation after the bloodline awakened and transformed into an imperial dragon, it was still an imperial dragon in essence, and it was still on the path of evolution, and it did not deviate from this to become a new wurm species.

Sean speculated that the problem must have been with Andrew.

This can be seen from Andrew's ability to hand him a special potion of [Ancient Dragon Bloodline]. Therefore, Sean is actually a little skeptical, did this mutant emperor dragon get the bloodline of the ancient dragon? Otherwise. How did it become so huge?

At least as far as Sean knows. A true ancient dragon is twice the size of a normal dragon in its form.

Based on this theory, there is a reasonable explanation for Kuroishi's size, which is more than twice the size of an ordinary walking dragon.

Blackstone is more than three meters tall, and although it has not been carefully measured, Sean is certain that it will never be less than three and a half meters. However, in other aspects, there is not much difference between it and the ordinary Earth Walking Dragon, and the body width is also about half a meter. The back is very flat, with no bone ridges or angular spikes, which ensures that Rena's butt doesn't bloom when she sits on it, and of course she doesn't need a saddle or anything like that.

The blessing of the black stone. Sean, Rena, Shephaneo, and Cecilia didn't have any long-sighted guys to harass them along the way, and even passers-by would choose to stay away. Even for the lord Sean, the residents of Void County and Black Swan County were already very familiar, but looking at the hideous demonic beast, these residents still didn't dare to approach, and just greeted Sean from a distance.

As a result, Sean and the others did not dare to go to the villages and towns to stay, so they could only settle in the wild.

Fortunately, the four people on this trip, Sean, Cecilia, and Rena are all mercenaries, and Shephaneo was just an ordinary villager before being awakened by Ace Wintertle, and later entangled with the people of the Ice Church along the way, and also rested in the wild, so of course the four of them will not reject this kind of thing as sleeping in the wild.

Taking this opportunity, Sean discovered a very subtle place.

As a seventh-level demonic beast, even in the food chain, it is a relatively top existence, but in front of the marshmallow, it still seems very docile, but it always snorts at Gollum, and its attitude is obviously full of impatience and unhappiness. Maybe if it weren't for the marshmallows, it is estimated that Blackstone might still have a hard fight with Gollum - of course, for this kind of result, Sean is not optimistic about Blackstone, after all, Gollum's own force field is not a joke.

However, in this way, Sean is more certain that the black dragon bloodline in the black stone body is definitely very strong.

Because as far as the matter of faith is concerned, the black dragon is actually a kind of dragon that likes chaos and evil, and they have always been rivals with the silver dragon that advocates order and light. Gollum, on the other hand, happens to have a very obvious amount of order and light, and this amount of power gives Sean the feeling that he is similar to the Lord of Morning Light, so it is not an incomprehensible thing that Blackstone and Gollum are not compatible with each other.

Sean even speculated if Gollum could be a condensation of the power of light, that is, the purest form of light. It's just that there is no actual argument, so it's really hard for him to deduce, but through a series of previous contacts, Sean found that Gollum is especially afraid of Beth, the undead king, maybe because the difference in strength between them is too great to even balance, so Gollum is afraid. Of course, if he were in front of Andrew, Gollum would have managed to stay away - even though Sean couldn't understand why. But since Gollum first met Andrew and was taken away by Andrew for two or three days and came back, once he felt Andrew's breath, Gollum would hide as far as he could.

And intuition tells Sean that Andrew is obviously aware of the identity and origin of Gollum, but no matter what Sean asks, Andrew just smiles.

But the real magic is actually the marshmallow.

This little guy has been staying in the Black Swan Castle for the past time, eating and sleeping well, and then after the outbreak of the war, he has only not seen him for more than half a year, and now this guy is almost the size of an adult lion. It's just that it's obviously still in the state of development, because it still has white fluff on its body. It doesn't have black scales like its mother, and it even has a ring of sideburns near its head, which looks like a snow-white lion.

However, the marshmallow's tail began to become strong and hard, and the black reef boulder, which could only leave shallow marks with ordinary weapons, broke into two pieces directly under the sweep of the marshmallow's tail. And in terms of speed. Marshmallows can also catch up with the leopard, and can even bite easily with their claws and teeth. Although the Hunting Wind Leopard is only a third-level demonic beast known for its speed. But this can also prove from the side that the current marshmallow already has the strength of a third-level demonic beast.

Of course, what really makes Sean feel magical is not this, but that Marshmallow, as a third-level demonic beast, can put a big score in front of Blackstone. You must know that except for Rena, neither Sean nor Cecilia nor Shephaneo can be too intimate with Blackstone, although for Reina's sake, Blackstone will not resist the approach of Sean and others, but if you want to ride Blackstone or touch Blackstone, this mutant emperor dragon will show extremely obvious resistance.

But this nearly a month's trip has come down. The marshmallow was on Blackstone's body the whole time, and he didn't go down and walk by himself at all. And Blackstone, a fool, has been following Marshmallow all the time, and even thinks that it is a very honorable thing to let Marshmallow sleep on himself.

Regarding the things in these Warcraft circles, Sean can only say "Your circle is really messy".

Eventually, though. A group of four people brought two magical beasts and a strange existence of unknown creatures, and arrived at Tonys Fortress without any danger.

This glorious fortress once shielded the Duchy of Lane from a war that threatened to nearly destroy the country - although it is not in this world, its importance is also conceivable. Of course, for this world, Tonis Fortress is a giant war fortress that Asuna has built with countless efforts, although now because of the conquest of the kingdom of Dabiang, so this fortress has lost its due value, but it is impossible to say that Asuna will abandon this fortress because of this, because for Asuna, this is her real home.

However, due to the political considerations of the current situation, the Ryan royal family will definitely not allow such a fortress, which can be said to be a choking fortress, to be out of their control.

So taking advantage of the great victory of this invasion of the kingdom of Dabiang, Asuna was pushed off the status of the owner of this fortress by the royal family of Lane.

The new commander of the fortress is a marquis who has never had any reputation or record in the country before, and many people don't even know where the new Marquis of Tony came from. The outside world even speculated that if it weren't for the fact that the previous owner of Tonis Fortress was also a marquis, this territory would not be able to match if it did not have the identity of a marquis, and I am afraid that any cat or dog would be able to become the owner of this fortress.

Because everyone knows that this fortress nominally belongs to this marquis, but in fact it is firmly controlled by the royal family of Lane.

Of course, this could not stop the other nobles from envy and hatred for this marquis.

After all, from now on, the marquis can live a life of drunkenness and dreams, and all his expenses and expenses will be paid by the royal family. However, as a price, he did not have any autonomy over all the administrative orders regarding the fortress, and even the guards responsible for its security were only allowed to have a size of 100 people, and other issues, including city defense, security patrols, etc., were all in charge of the Seventh Regiment of Lane.

Sean already knew the information about the current Tonys Fortress. So he also knew that the so-called Seventh Legion, in a sense, was already his old acquaintance, at least from what he heard from Asuna later, the former commander of the Seventh Legion did not have a good time in the Tonis Fortress until Asuna left the fortress. His days were a little bit later.

But soon after, because of his proximity to the front line, he was directly dewyned. Söder. Later in the Northwest Theater of Operations, the Seventh Legion's losses were also extremely heavy because of the incident in which the deception turned into real defeat in the Northwest Theater. However, after that, the role of having a backstage and being backstaged, with and without a background was extremely prominent, because the Seventh Legion, which was only loyal to the royal family, became the first legion to be immediately replenished after the war, and even the commander of the legion was promoted to the title of Marquis of Real Power.

When Sean and the others arrived, there were already three long lines at the gates of Tonis Fortress.

Each team was separated by a wooden fence, surrounded by guards dressed in the uniforms of the Seventh Legion. Therefore, the actual situation is more orderly than in the phenomenon, and there is no chaos. However, the sharp-eyed Sean was keenly aware that the Tonis Fortress had opened a special passage, which was surrounded by a fence and fixed with stakes, which had obviously been arranged for more than a day or two. Judging by the specs and set-up, Sean is certain that this is a passage specially built for the aristocracy or those who are rich and powerful.

There was also a passage for those inside the fortress to leave. However, compared to the excitement of entering the fortress. The road is deserted, and few people are walking around.

But if you think about it, you know.

After all, now that the Duchy of Lane is about to be upgraded to a kingdom, such an event that can be said to be celebrated by the whole world will inevitably last for several months, so the closer it is to a prosperous city or territory such as the royal capital, the more lively it will be, and there will be a lot more business opportunities. So, there will surely be countless people flocking to these places from all directions. In addition, the Kingdom of Dabion, as the country with the most nobility on this side of the Southern Continent, must get the nod of the royal family of Ryan if they want to maintain or enjoy the status and privileges of nobility after the war. Therefore, these people are the real people who have to pass through the fortress of Tonys this time.

Judging from the current entrance fee of one silver coin per person through Tonys Fortress, the income of Tony Fortress must be at least three hundred gold coins just because of the crowd flow that Sean saw today. If this situation continues for another month, the Tonys Fortress can at least bring in nearly 10,000 gold coins in tax revenue, and all this is only Sean's conservative estimate.

However, with the appearance of Sean and the others, there was soon a commotion and panicked screams in the crowd.

The image of the black stone is too prominent.

Sean could only smile wryly at this, and chose to stay away from the crowd as much as possible, and instead walked through the passage specially opened for nobles.

It's just that before Sean and the others walked over, more than a dozen soldiers of the Seventh Legion immediately surrounded them, and the first time they saw Sean and the others, they even directly opened a military formation with their guns, and this hostile attitude was vividly expressed.

Sean's brow furrowed quickly.

And Heishi was only a little puzzled by the other party's behavior at first, but after feeling Rena's dissatisfaction, this mutant emperor dragon immediately let out a deterrent roar, as an emperor dragon that mutated twice and was a completely awakened bloodline, its threatening roar naturally brought a faint dragon might, although the effect was not as direct as the dragon's ability to directly weaken the opponent's full attributes by more than 50%, but it was no problem to weaken about 20% like Blackstone.

The crowd standing closer to each other immediately screamed in panic.

This is the side effect of Longwei.

In addition to the impact of weakening all attributes of the opponent, the real dragon power will also be accompanied by negative emotions such as fear and chaos. However, generally wurms do not have this ability, and only those high-level varieties of wurms at the top of the wurm race with a relatively high bloodline concentration will have this special effect. Therefore, if you want to deal with Long Wei, you naturally need to let the priests, priests or magicians have the blessing of the actual combat spirit of the barrier protection, or directly the army with relatively strong combat effectiveness or strong self-confidence can form a military formation to be able to resist, and it is naturally completely unstoppable as an ordinary person.

So after the black stone let out a roar, the originally orderly crowd immediately screamed and broke up, and one of the little girls was even so frightened that she ran directly to the road specially provided for nobles.

At this moment, a lavishly decorated carriage suddenly galloped in.

The driver who was driving the car seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't pay attention to the confrontation between Sean and the others, who were still a short distance away from the exclusive road, and the Seventh Legion. In this case, the little girl suddenly ran down the road, which was equivalent to crashing into the carriage, and with the speed of the carriage, the little girl could not have survived.

"Marshmallow!" Sean let out a low sigh, "Go save that kid!" ”

The marshmallow, who was still lazily lying on the black stone, stood up a little reluctantly, and the next moment it rushed out like a white lightning bolt.

Everyone didn't have time to see the situation clearly, the carriage was already galloping past, until it finally stopped after running more than ten meters, looking at this scene, there was a woman in the crowd who fainted directly, if it wasn't for a man beside her, I am afraid that the woman would fall to the ground directly. But when the carriage stopped, the coachman got out of the carriage in a panic, and then immediately ran to the back of the carriage, and only relaxed slightly when he saw the little girl on the ground without the slightest trace of blood and the frightened and dazed little girl.

Marshmallow gently put the little girl in her mouth on the ground, and the little girl cried out, but the annoyed Marshmallow turned away with a tired face, trotted back to Cecilia's side, and rubbed beside Cecilia as if to invite credit. The latter patted Marshmallow's head with a smile, and then stroked it a few times, and Marshmallow jumped back on Blackstone with satisfaction, yawning lazily, but did not continue to sleep, but stared at the Seventh Legionnaire who was pointing a gun at Sean and others with unkind eyes.

As a result, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion looked at each other with some faces, and they didn't know what to do at all.

They ran out, just subconsciously treating Sean and the others as dangerous people, but until now, the other party did not make a move, but saved a civilian, which made them a little embarrassed. But if they collect the guns at this time, then they will be a little embarrassed, but if they want to continue to compete with each other, they will have the courage to fight when they see that the other party is just two pets.

Sean watched the man put the woman down before running over and picking up the little girl, looking happy and excited, and then looked at the carriage again. At this time, the driver of the carriage was no longer there, and after he threw a small bag of money to the man, he drove the carriage back towards the Tonis Fortress, and Sean didn't say anything more about it, after all, the identity of the other party is undoubtedly a nobleman, and it is rare to be able to stop and check and throw a bag of money as compensation, otherwise it will not be too much to crush the commoners to death with the pride of the nobles.

So Sean looked at the soldiers who were blocking the road again, and his voice was a little low and majestic: "Get out of the way, I don't care about your ignorance just now." ”

Several guards glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, the leading officer finally turned slightly sideways.

But at this moment, an angry roar suddenly fell from the sky: "What are you doing! In the face of such dangerous characters, why don't you hurry up and arrest them! ”

Hearing this roar, Sean looked sideways, although the person who roared was still a little far away from his side, but with Sean's vision, he could still see the other party's face, and the other party was running behind dozens of soldiers of the Seventh Legion, obviously hearing a false alarm here, so he hurriedly brought people to reinforce. It's just that before he understands the situation clearly, he treats him as a dangerous person, which still makes Sean a little unhappy.

But thinking of what the other party had done, Sean could only shrug helplessly about this person who made a decision before he understood the situation clearly. Because even he didn't expect that he would come back for the first time after leaving Tonis Fortress for so long, and that he would meet an old acquaintance so quickly. (To be continued......)
