Its huge body, ferocious head and giant tail like a steel whip give people a full sense of oppression; and its densely packed ice-blue scales with red lines mixed on the edges make it seem as if it is bathed in blood, conveying bloodiness and brutality to the outside world all the time.
Lulans had seen many magical beasts, both huge and ugly, but he had never seen a magical beast like this one that was born with the aura of oppression and kingship.
This kind of pressure is not caused by the difference in strength, but a mysterious psychological effect.
Just like a mouse seeing a cat, it is easily frightened and unable to move.
Of course, for a Meteor Knight like Lulans who had seen a lot of the world, although he was shocked, he was able to quickly regain his composure and was far from being frightened to the point of being unable to move.
But his magical beast, the Thunder Wind Chaser, was feeling uneasy at the moment.
It didn't know whether to escape or stand still, so it could only make low noises anxiously, asking its owner for help.
Lulans gave it a reassuring look, and perhaps due to the spiritual connection, the Thunder Wind Chaser gradually calmed down.
Carlos glanced at the other party and said, "Master, I sensed a very weak breath of dragon blood from this monster!"
Its tongue couldn't help but move. Such a monster must be very delicious, but the other party's owner was obviously related to its owner, so it couldn't be eaten.
Luo Ning was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Thunder Wind Chaser Beast really had dragon blood. He thought it was just a rumor from the outside world.
Lulans' eyes trembled. He could see that the dragon was communicating with Ronin, but he couldn't understand.
However, he was very sure of one thing: the young man in front of him would definitely not be inferior to him in future achievements.
"How did you tame it?"
"Carlos was quite weak at that time, so I took the opportunity to climb onto its back. After a lot of hard work in the sky and sea, I conquered it while I was exhausted, and then we successfully signed the contract."
It seemed like an understatement, but Rulans heard something thrilling in it.
Most people would have the courage to climb onto the back of a giant dragon and be carried across the sky and sea. It would be a life-threatening situation.
"You're brave, kid!"
Lu Lan Si exclaimed: "I am proud of your courage!"
His gaze returned to Carlos.
"Its body is several sizes smaller than the stronger griffins, but the sixth level is the limit for a griffin to grow. The potential of your dragon should be more than that."
Roning had seen the griffin team that escorted Blanche last time. Most of those griffins were level four magical beasts and were smaller in size than Carlos.
However, the level 5 griffin of the deputy captain Broll is almost the same size as a dragon.
The "powerful individual" that Lulans mentioned should be a level six griffin, but Roning had never seen one.
"So, Carlos doesn't have an advantage when facing the group of griffins?"
Lu Lansi looked thoughtful, and finally shook his head, "Body size comparison is only one aspect, the details still need to be seen in actual combat."
He looked at the dragon's scales, "Can I touch it?"
"Of course!" Luo Ning said with a smile.
Rulans approached slowly and reached out to touch the cold scales.
Carlos has never been friendly towards strangers, but since his master allowed it, he could only exhale an unpleasant breath and allow the other party to touch him.
Originally, it didn't care about the old man in front of it, but it didn't expect that the other party actually flicked a finger. The huge impact force acted on the scales, making a dong sound, and it actually felt a little pain.
"Master, he..." Carlos began to complain.
Luo Ning signaled the other party not to get excited.
Lu Lans coughed twice. He had just mobilized some fighting spirit, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He touched the scales he had just flicked, and there was no trace of dents.
"Its defense is pretty good. Even a level 6 griffin can't compare to your dragon. What level of monster is it?"
“Just entered level six.”
Luo Ning did not hide it, "It was only level 5 when I tamed it."
"Just after entering level 6, you already have such strong defense, you are worthy of being the legendary dragon clan!"
"I don't know what its upper limit is, but it should be level eight or nine, right?"
A ninth-level magical beast was a being that was on par with human great magicians and sun knights. Lulans had never seen one in person.
The legendary dragon should be able to reach this level, right?
But his assessment was still a bit too conservative.
Roning said: "According to Carlos's inherited memory, it should be the offspring of a legendary dragon. Logically, it should have the potential to become a legendary dragon."
Lulans' pupils contracted. Legendary level! He looked at the giant dragon in front of him in disbelief, and his expression was even more surprised than when he first saw the dragon.
Above the scorching sun is the legend, but this level is only a legendary concept.
As far as Lulans knew, in the more than 900 years of history that was clearly recorded on the continent of Orlant, it seemed that only the first emperor of the empire was said to have reached the legendary level.
Since the fall of the first emperor, there seems to be no more legends on the continent.
And this giant dragon actually has the potential to become a legendary creature! Lu Lansi looked at Luo Ning, his eyes were more eager than ever.
"Do you know what legendary means?"
Luo Ning concentrated, "What does it mean?"
Lu Lans chuckled and said meaningfully: "It means you can build a country."
He quickly denied this statement, "No, it should be called an empire!"
Luo Ning's eyes flickered: "Legendary level, how powerful is it?"
Lulans shook his head. He was only a level 7 Meteor Knight. Although he had entered the ranks of the strong, he had only a vague idea of how powerful the Prideful Sun Knight was.
The main reason was not that he was isolated from information, but that there were too few Jiaoyang-level powerhouses and he had never come into contact with them.
“It is said that the Prideful Sun Knight can still be killed by the combined efforts of lower-level knights, but once he is promoted to Legendary, there will be earth-shaking changes. He can no longer be defeated by a simple encirclement.”
Under Legend, numbers can change the situation of battle;
Once you reach the legendary level, the advantage in numbers becomes dispensable.
Hearing this introduction, Roning's heart was filled with excitement. He really wanted to experience the level of the world's top military power.
"What you lack now is time."
Lulans said: "What you lack is time to wait for your dragon to grow into a legend."
Not only Roning, but even Carlos felt a little embarrassed after hearing these words.
"Grandpa, you may not know that Carlos is now over 260 years old. It will probably take 700 to 800 years for him to grow into a legend."
Lu Lansi was stunned, "Does it take so long for a dragon to grow?"
The time it takes for a monster to grow from birth to the peak of its strength varies.
The shorter one takes a few years, and the longer one takes more than ten years.
Lulans knew the extraordinary nature of the dragon and estimated that it would take decades or even hundreds of years.
Judging from Roning's qualifications, if nothing unexpected happens, he will have no problem living for more than a hundred years.
But he didn't expect that it would take hundreds of years for a dragon to grow.
"It's my ignorance."
Lu Lans sighed and thought it was a pity.
After seven or eight hundred years, not to mention him and Roning, even Roning's sons and grandsons are probably gone.
"However, there is a level six dragon in the territory, so I don't have to worry about your safety."
He put away his regretful expression and regained his expectation: "What you need to do now is to steadily improve, manage your territory well, and expand your influence. I believe that your achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than mine!"
Lu Lansi is old and frail, but his eyes are full of expectations for the future. He seems to have seen the day when a duke is born in the Wushan family. (End of this chapter)
