Black Dragon Code

Under the persimmon tree in the abandoned garden, Caesar gnawed on the fruit while watching the goblins and butterflies chasing each other around the collapsed burnt wood. There used to be tall unknown plants that stood taller than the tallest buildings in the city ruins , but it was burned together with the grape trellises, and only the embers of the fire remained.

It can be seen that the little guy is in a good mood. Although he was discouraged from returning to Elradia before, Luna became happy when he really returned to the old place. For her, Elradia is her Home, back here, the little guy immediately put his troubles behind him.

Caesar understood how tempting home was.

In the few years when he was just born, the scene when he was on the earth always appeared in his mind involuntarily. Those loved relatives, relatives and friends also made him toss and turn and sleepless at night.

There is no going back, he knows.

The persimmon, which was as big as a human fist, was no different from a jelly bean to the black dragon. Caesar picked it off with his tail claws and threw it into his mouth.

The troglodyte offered horsemen lizard eggs and bacon, plus half a barrel of rum mixed with honey, but the honey attracted the flies, but the rising power of the black dragon immediately made them flee.

"They are here, my king." The lizard man respectfully put down the black dragon lord's snacks and whispered.

Mammon lizard eggs are giant elliptical eggs with a length of half a meter and a short diameter of nearly 20 centimeters. They are larger than red dragon eggs. They are slightly sour, but at the same time they are quite sweet and have a very good taste. Well, it's a rare delicacy.

But now, the eggs of Mammon lizards are used to raise newborn cubs, and only the black dragon lord can taste its taste from time to time.

Caesar put the whole Mammon lizard egg together with the shell into his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it, then looked up at the summoned person who had come close.

"grown ups."

"His Majesty."

Gal saluted with Hogg and the leader of the shapeshifter respectively.

"There is something for you to handle." Caesar didn't talk nonsense. He really couldn't learn the Eladia way of speaking, so he directly ordered: "You will become the vanguard of the Black Dragon Legion."

"It is a great honor, Your Majesty." The leader of the doppelganger bowed and said, while Gall and Hogg just listened in silence.

Most of the ethnic groups in this race are deformed. They have humanoid bodies, gnoll hind legs and barghest-like claws, and their heads are the most distinctive.

Some are like snakes, some are like mice, and many are like insects and rotting maggots.

Although they are ugly and annoying, and their combat effectiveness is weak, the shapeshifter clan is the group in the Underdark with a way of thinking that is closest to that of humans, and they are born with knowledge of transformation spells, making them excellent spies.

"Gal."

Caesar talked one by one: "I remember, I mentioned to you about the flying apes last time."

"Indeed, my lord," replied the orc.

"I want you to contact them. This place is not far from Mostel. You can take people there to seek help from the flying apes. But remember, avoid mentioning my existence."

Flying apes are neutral creatures, and they definitely have a bad impression of evil dragons, so Caesar made a special confession, and then continued: "I need to use their channels to trade with humans and buy necessities."

"My lord ordered, and I will obey." Gal thumped his left chest to show respect.

"But, Your Majesty."

Hogg interjected and thoughtfully reminded: "Even if Chief Garr can complete the task, dealing with humans is difficult without gold. What should we trade with humans?"

"That's why I summoned you."

Caesar turned his eyes to the wolf man, Hogg's thinking was quite rigorous, very good: "I still have a sum of money."

It was the final payment that Roy sent people to deliver after the summer grass trade. It was a lot of money, but before Caesar could squander it in the future, a war broke out with humans. Shelved, buried in the Stone Crow's former settlement.

Caesar guessed that Roy would turn the Dulu Basin upside down afterwards, but it is unlikely that he would go back and search for the abandoned settlements. After all, the greedy nature of dragons is well known in the world, and Roy would never have imagined it. However, the treasure of the black dragon is still buried in that place.

"I want you to go and get back what's mine."

Caesar said, and then informed Hogg of the specific location and landmarks: "Just take some men with you, not too many, at most not more than fifty, be careful, there is no big mistake."

"do not worry."

Hogg nodded in response, calmly.

In fact, he shouldn’t be so calm. Dragons are greedy and stingy in common, and they are different if they are not greedy and not stingy. In this respect, they are no different from goblins. Caesar used his own money to trade with humans. Judging from the standards of dragons, it is already quite astonishing, and I am afraid that it would be amazing for others.

But Hogg has been with Caesar for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to the uniqueness of the black dragon lord, so there is no surprise.

After explaining to the two top subordinates, the black dragon turned his head and looked at the strange-looking shapeshifter. Speaking of which, Caesar ruled the Underdark for five years, but he saw this leader very rarely. exists in his memory.

"Shapeshifter."

Looking at it, Caesar repeated it silently, and then asked: "I remember someone mentioned to me back then that you are born with transfiguration spells, right?"

"That's the original leader of the clan, Your Majesty." The shapeshifter with a dragonfly head bowed his head and replied, "Also, yes, Your Majesty."

"Does every race understand?"

"Except for the disabled, every race understands."

"Well, can you speak human language?"

Caesar snapped his fingers, and the sound of metal rubbing was slightly harsh: "Well...it's a human language, and a northern accent is best."

"This, pardon me for what I can do, my lord."

The leader of the doppelganger was in a dilemma. It came from the Underdark region, and had never been in contact with the northern humans in Elradia. Naturally, it didn't know what the native language of those people was, and what kind of accent they had.

Fortunately, Caesar also knew that this was just an extravagant wish, so he didn't force it, and nodded: "Let's use the common language."

"I want you to transform into human beings, pure human beings, and then sneak into the northern countries in the south, go to a place called 'Kaji', and spread rumors around there."

Caesar began to lay out the plan: "This should not be difficult for you."

"It's not difficult, Your Majesty." The shapeshifter responded, "But, how many ethnic groups should we go to?"

"In case of accidents, take a hundred people there, but the rumors don't need to spread so much, it will be suspicious. Changelings are a smart race, and you know how to arrange your race."

Caesar stared at it and moved closer: "But you can't go, you have to stay here. If things fail, you die, and all your race will die."

This is the difference between the privileged clan and the ordinary clan in the black dragon force, and the leader of the shapeshifter feels it deeply.

Don't look at the previous high lord who was very talkative, with a soft and comforting voice. Whether it was an order given to the orcs or the gnolls, he didn't make any demands on the orcs or gnolls, nor did he mention the price they would pay if they failed in their mission.

But when it was their turn to change shape monsters, they suffered a naked threat, and the black dragon lord made no secret of its cruelty and violence.

"I understand, Your Majesty." The leader of the shapeshifting monster responded with a hidden worry.

Caesar began to explain the method and the specific content of the rumors, and after a while he signaled that the doppelganger could leave: "Go, you told me that it would be easy, I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Please don't worry." The shapeshifter imitated Hogg and then exited the abandoned garden.
