After reaching an agreement with the chambers of commerce in the Blue Province, Loran Hill continued south to Linchao Port in Chijiao Province.

The sound of white-winged seagulls lapping against the tide and the moist sea breeze carried a slight fishy smell. When Loran Hill walked down the side of the airship, a bustling seaside city appeared before her.

The fishing industry here is very developed, and even in inland provinces one can often eat salted fish produced in Linchao Port.

Fish that has been salted and air-dried can often be kept for a long time. In some poor areas, this is often the cheapest source of meat.

Walking through the busy and bustling streets, Loran Hill slightly shielded the midday sun with his hands and came to the edge of the pier.

There were a dozen sailing ships parked in the harbor, some of which were still loading and unloading cargo. An ironclad ship slowly entered the harbor with the roar of its engine. On the reef not far from the harbor, the girl could also see 2-3 sea dragons basking in the sun.

These four-finned sea dragons, with azure scales on their bodies and pure white bellies, looked not ferocious, but rather docile. Two of them were Sequence 6 and one was Sequence 5, both marine-level monsters.

According to locals, these sea dragons are old residents of Linchao Port. They often go to the sea to fish, and occasionally catch some low-level monsters to exchange for things with humans.

As creatures of the ocean sequence, they are naturally good at manipulating waves and tides, and can also escort and guide fleets in storms. They are the guardian beasts of this sea area, so the locals also protect them, and the two sides have always gotten along well.

"Miss, are you going out to sea? I see you've been standing here for a long time."

Just as Loran Hill was looking at the lazy sea dragons curiously, a young man in simple clothes came over. Judging from his appearance, he should be a helper at the dock.

"No, I just got here and I'm a little curious about those big guys." The girl pointed to the sea dragons basking in the sun.

"Haha, that's true. Many first-time visitors are very interested in these sea dragons."

"Do you need me to introduce you? It won't take too long."

Seeing Loran Hill nod, the young man cleared his throat and then talked about the origins of these sea dragons.

"Actually, it's not a particularly bizarre story. Hundreds of years ago, the Pascal family conquered the southern border and used a family heirloom to summon the southern dragons, including the ancestors of these sea dragons."

"Because there are so few sea dragons, not enough to form an army, and because they are difficult to land, the Pascal family didn't incorporate them into their combat forces. Instead, they were stationed in coastal cities to help with their construction and development."

"In the early days, shipbuilding technology was rudimentary, and the sea breezes here were weak, so ships sailed slowly. They often needed the help of these sea dragons to complete long-distance voyages."

"Gradually, these sea dragons became familiar with the local residents, and a mutually beneficial relationship developed."

"People help these sea dragons find rare fruits on land, aiding their growth and advancement. In turn, they assist the locals with fishing and escorting ships. Occasionally, they also require the local priests to heal their injuries."

"Can they understand human speech?" Loran Hill asked, tilting his head.

"I can understand some simple words, but for anything more complex, I'll need the help of the local dragon witch."

"Dragon Witch?" The girl was slightly surprised when she heard this term with a slightly oriental flavor.

"Yes, at first, it was difficult for people to communicate with the sea dragon, which led to many unnecessary conflicts. Later, a witch from the East came to help, acting as a middleman and mediating, and things gradually stabilized."

"That dragon witch is no longer with us, but her apprentice, or student, inherited the position, and it has been passed down ever since."

"Look, that's the dragon witch of Linchao Port." The young man pointed to the distant shore.

A girl in a light blue and white gauze dress stood on the beach. She first closed her eyes and prayed for a while, then a strange wave swept across her body, and then she walked forward, her feet firmly on the water, and did not fall into the water.

With small splashes of water on her calves, the dragon witch walked towards the sea dragons taking a nap on the reef.

Only when they got close did some of the new arrivals realize the sea dragon's enormous size. The young dragon witch standing before the sea dragon was no bigger than one of its fins.

The dragon witch lightly jumped onto the reef, walked step by step to the side of the sea dragon, stepped on the scales of the fin with her smooth feet, and approached the sea dragon's slender neck.

She stopped beside the ear of a sea dragon and began to sing a soothing song. The sea dragon then slightly opened its eyes, hummed, and then gently rubbed the palm of the dragon witch's hand with its head.

As the magical song sang, white light rippled across the sea dragon's scales, checking its body and healing minor wounds.

Not long after, the sea dragon let out another long roar, then folded its head to its sides and lay down quietly.

After pacifying this sea dragon, the dragon witch went to the next sea dragon and repeated the process.

At the pier, many tourists from other places looked at this scene curiously. If there were no cameras or mobile phones in this era, perhaps many people would rush to take pictures.

Observing this harmonious and peaceful scene, Loran Hill seemed to have realized something.

This was likely the ability of the Eastern Dragon Breeding lineage, similar to the Dragon Sacrifice lineage the girl had witnessed in Flame Ray Continent. Dragon Breeding was one of the five major factions within the Eastern Dynasty. The other three were Dragon Transformation, Dragon Rider, and Dragon Summoner.

Among them, the dragon worship lineage focuses on using the secret techniques of dragon veins to adjust feng shui, the vitality of heaven and earth, and change the environment, while the dragon breeding lineage focuses on cultivating extraordinary creatures to make them play their role. For example, Moshangzhou specializes in cultivating green silkworms for spinning.

Similar to the dragon-raising lineage is the dragon-calling lineage, which focuses on driving monsters or dragons. Some of the secret techniques of the Red Immortal Sect are derived from this, and the blood sacrifice technique that Gropo Po used at the end also has a lot to do with the dragon-calling lineage.

As for the dragon riders, they specialize in killing and emphasize the cooperation between humans and dragons, achieving the effect of 1+1>3. The Blood Wing Red Dragon Knights of the Pascal family and the Red Sparrow Dragon Knights of the Plantagenet Dynasty are the best of this lineage.

Although the Five Meridians developed independently in ancient times, they have long since merged with each other and are no longer so obvious, so this method of division was gradually abolished. Later, when the Plantagenet dynasty was established, the major factions were distinguished based on the great ways they practiced, and this classification method was no longer used.

Unexpectedly, he saw such a familiar method in the Western Continent, which made Loran Hill miss his days in the East a little.

Compared to the fighting and killing in the Western Continent, she spent a very relaxed life there.

"Let's go up and say hello," the girl thought as she looked at the dragon witch who was returning briskly on the waves, and then she went up to her.
