Chapter 247 Hundred Battles Dragon
"Gorton, did you understand?"
In the early hours of the morning, after finishing his workout, Galos rested in a prone position and contacted Gorton through his bloodline network, telling him about the Dragon Monastery.
Inside the palace of the Kingdom of Lorthen.
Iron Dragon Gorton flicked his tail and said in a resounding voice:
"Of course I understand, and I'd be happy to do it."
In the palace, he did nothing but eat and sleep every day, occasionally communicating with Princess Elena, listening to her troubles, and sharing her worries... Although such days were fulfilling and pleasant, they inevitably became somewhat boring after a while.
The thought that he could work for the Ignas dragons from thousands of miles away and contribute to the establishment of the dragon kingdom activated the bloodline instincts of the iron dragon Gordon, and he was filled with fighting spirit.
"However...you know my situation is somewhat special."
Iron Dragon Gorton said with a worried look, "Can they imitate the dragon's form through me?"
Aesthetic preferences differ among different species.
Gordon's rounded dragon body did not appear ugly to humans; in fact, it was even somewhat cute and interesting.
But just as humans don't like overly obese members of their own kind.
From the dragon's perspective, Gorton was somewhat comical, and he himself understood this. He often wanted to exercise and lose weight, but as a pure and ordinary teenage dragon, he was inherently lazy, unable to overcome his desires, and greedy for enjoyment, so he could never make up his mind.
Moreover, after each long period of dragon sleep, his physique would return to normal, so he was even less inclined to tire himself out by deliberately losing weight.
However, at present, Gorton is somewhat worried about not being able to complete the mission.
"fine."
Hong Tielong carefully studied the Shenlong Sect's methods recorded in the lineage and determined that observing the dragon's posture did not have a significant impact on the Shenlong Warrior Monks. In fact, observing the dragon's posture was not important. The core purpose was to feel the aura of dragons up close, and then, with the help of the Shenlong Sect's secret methods, to comprehend and awaken the 'dragon' in one's own heart.
The dragon here will be a concept, not a concrete image.
According to the theory of the Divine Dragon Path, everyone has their own dragon within their heart.
Gordon's size is different from that of a normal iron dragon, but its dragon aura is not a problem. Because it is pampered and has developed ahead of its time, its dragon aura should be very strong.
Thinking of this, Hong Tielong suddenly asked:
"Gorton, what is your current life level?"
"Not high, only level 13, not worth mentioning."
Tie Long said it wasn't high, but there was a hint of pride in his tone.
After hearing this answer, Galos fell silent.
In his previous life, he had heard a saying that domestic pigs are actually more ferocious and capable fighters than wild boars.
This statement cannot be applied to dragons, but it does make some sense.
Level 13... Gordon's life level is equivalent to that of an ordinary red dragon in its youth, far exceeding that of a normal teenage dragon.
He even surpassed the more diligent and hardworking Iron Dragon Sorog and Red Dragon Samantha, and was only one level below Garoth.
"His life level was raised entirely by resources without any sweat or effort, and this lazy guy didn't train and make good use of it, wasting countless resources in the process."
"He has a treasure trove of resources but doesn't realize it. If I had his resources, I might have reached level 16 by now."
Red Iron Dragon suddenly felt a tickle in its claws and teeth.
A dragon like him, walking on thin ice and thirsting for resources to grow, actually doesn't have enough resources to squander.
As for the lucky Gorton, Galos thought to himself that he would find an opportunity to give him a good beating... no, to be more precise, to give him the love and encouragement of his older brother so that he could overcome his natural laziness.
What career path did you choose?
Galos changed the subject and asked.
“I’m just a teenager… Isn’t career a thing that only young dragons consider?” Gorton said. “I don’t have a career yet.”
Aside from his innate warlock level, Gordon only has a life level. If a real fight were to break out, he would most likely be no match for either the Iron Dragon Thorog or the Red Dragon Samantha, even though the latter two have lower life levels than him.
"Among the Ignas dragons, you are the only one who hasn't chosen a profession yet."
Galos said in a deep voice, "Gordon, we dragons have long lifespans, but they are only long, not infinite. We don't need to be too hasty in doing things, but we shouldn't squander and waste time recklessly either."
"Otherwise, when you look back on your life in your old age and count your years, you will surely regret your laziness in your youth."
"Choosing a suitable career path as early as possible will allow you to grow faster and become stronger."
After all, they share similar blood, and Galos needs Gorton to work for him in the south. However, Gorton is currently rather incompetent and needs some encouragement.
"Actually, I had thought about it before."
Gorton replied, "If I had to choose a career path first, I would want to become a hundred-times-battle dragon."
The dragon profession inheritance system has been improved to better suit the dragon race.
The Hundred Battles Dragon path is an improvement on the traditional Warrior path. It is relatively balanced in all aspects, without any outstanding advantages or weaknesses, and its main focus is on 'stability'.
However, unlike ordinary soldiers...
Dragons are born with certain spell-like skills, and the Hundred-Battle Dragon is very good at combining warrior skills with spell-like skills, making it essentially more like a magic warrior.
More than half of all dragons consider the Hundred Battles Dragon when choosing their first profession.
"In that case, then work hard in this direction and don't let down your identity and bloodline."
Red Iron Dragon said seriously, "I will go to the Federation sooner or later, Gorton. When we brothers meet again, I will test your professional achievements."
How to test it?
That would certainly be a friendly, pointless exchange.
"Ah? My dear brother."
Gorton wanted to say something more, but Red Iron Dragon had already ended the call.
"Sigh... Let Elena find me a high-ranking soldier to train me."
Tie Long lay on the ground, utterly dejected, feeling that his leisurely days might be coming to an end.
He was beaten by Galos from childhood to adulthood.
Even though many years have passed, Galos's prestige still remains, holding considerable weight in the heart of Iron Dragon Gorton.
Moreover...
After seeing Galos's strong physique through the bloodline network, he couldn't help but feel envious and longing, so he decided to push himself and try to keep up with the Ignas brothers.
"And the Dragon Monastery."
"Garos gave me the address. I'll go check it out once I'm almost ready."
Gordon pondered this in his mind.
Given his status, since he was going to the monastery, he couldn't be too shabby, but he also couldn't be too ostentatious. Moreover, he should bring something to show his sincerity and build rapport when they first met—this was the etiquette that Gorton had learned from dealing with nobles in the court.
He was able to thrive in the palace as a dragon.
Besides being Elena's pet, Gordon's skillful social skills also played a crucial role. His chubby and round body always made people lower their guard, making him seem kind and approachable rather than fierce.
"The first members of the monastery were orphans and beggars taken in from all over the country. It's not appropriate to give them gold coins and treasures, and I myself can't bear to part with them... Let's prepare some magic potions, tonics, and high-quality food."
"Moreover, I can't be too eager to please the monastery at the beginning, otherwise it might arouse suspicion, after all, there are quite a few people who are paying attention to me."
Gorton pondered the right time to approach the monastery.
When he stops being lazy and starts thinking seriously, his brain suppresses his stomach, and his wisdom takes over.
Princess Elena is kind-hearted. She leaves the palace for a few days each month to visit the capital, showing compassion for the people and engaging in charitable activities. I can take this opportunity to guide Elena closer to the monastery next time.
Then.
As a dragon, it is only natural and inevitable that I would be curious about and drawn to the Dragon Warrior Monastery, which practices in the manner of a dragon.
...A general outline of the plan began to take shape in Gordon's mind.
Now all we have to do is wait for time to pass.
Meanwhile, it was mealtime, and feeling hungry, Gorton used his tail to curl up a bell and shake it, summoning the waiters to bring him food.
"The requirement for becoming a Hundred-Battle Dragon is extensive combat training."
"Then I probably don't need to diet anymore. I need to eat well to have the energy to train."
Gorton was already looking forward to how impressive he would be once he had a physique as cool and powerful as Garros.
