Chapter 0726: Dragon Slaying Expedition
Sure enough, from Gazruvi, Grim got the information he wanted about the Tier 2 Fire Dragon.
Bamur Bolatek, a Tier 2 Fire Dragon, Reims Plane Dragon Lord, is located in the scorching canyons of the Burning Plains, 30,000 kilometers from the Stonetalon Mountains, where the metal fortress is located.
To be honest, if it weren't for the kind invitation of the female fire dragon Felipa, I'm afraid that in another three or five years, it would be impossible for Grim's power tentacles to extend to such a distant place, let alone meet this second-order male fire dragon in advance.
Now that he had a clear goal, Grim did not hesitate to assign Gazruvi to hurry up and collect specific information about the Bamler Bolatek Rank 2 Fire Dragon.
At the same time, Grim began to make proper preparations for this dragon-slaying expedition.
Like this kind of fire dragon, the place where they live is mostly in some areas where the terrain environment is extremely harsh, such as in the volcanic world, such as in the underground lava sea...... Either way, I'm afraid it's not something that ordinary people can easily set foot in.
Fighting in such an environment, Grim's combat power will not only not be affected, but will be greatly improved. However, it is difficult for other wizards in the family to enjoy this kind of treatment, and the environment there will greatly restrict the use of combat power.
In order not to affect the combat power of the family wizards, fire resistance equipment, anti-magic potions, appropriate life potions, and healing wands must be prepared in advance. Of course, if you can get the lair map of that Tier 2 fire dragon in advance, you will be more sure to fight.
And this task, Grim was handed over to the old fox Winliel and the two blood knights.
They set out from the metal fortress and sneaked all the way to the land of the second-order fire dragon, and then managed to capture the other dragon's guards, and tortured the lair map of the fire dragon dungeon from their mouths.
The task of collecting fire resistance equipment was given to Goblin Kirby.
As the future financial director of the Crimson family, such a trivial matter is also within its purview!
As for the related witchcraft potions, they were all given to Gargamel. He was a pharmacist by profession, and as long as the supply of materials was sufficient, it would not be a problem to meet the needs of the Crimson family.
The new second-order blood elves in the family have just jumped from the natural line to the blood line, and they are still in the run-in period of exploring their own strength. Therefore, they will no longer participate in this dragon slaying expedition, otherwise the casualties will definitely be heavy.
In addition to making some internal preparations, Grim is also trying his best to attract some foreign reinforcements.
It's a pity that the 3rd order thunder dragon Arms has no interest in cannibalism, and he rejected Grim's invitation in one bite. However, Grim privately guessed that the reason why the other party was not interested was purely because both the emerald dragon and the green dragon belonged to the natural forest dragon clan, and they did not like to stay in a place of fire where there were only fiery red stones and no trace of greenery.
In this way, even if it helps Grim to conquer the Burning Plains and take the Scorching Canyon, all the loot and territory will only be the wizard's, and it will still get nothing.
Although this speculation is a bit vicious, combined with Grim's knowledge of Ames, this is inevitably not the right answer!
Deprived of aid from the dragons, Grim could only put his hope for help on the head of the dragon-eater Assassin, Oliven. After promising to kill the dragon, the wizards took only the appropriate dragon skins and crystals, and the dragon eater gladly agreed to Grim's invitation and hurried to the metal fortress.
During the time that Grim and other Crimson wizards left the Reims plane, Oliven was not idle, wandering around the lairs of various dragon lords almost every day. And as soon as she saw Grim's face, she strongly requested to exchange this information for the dragon crystal of the second-order fire dragon.
After all, for Olivan, completely devouring a dragon of the same rank is the most significant increase in her strength. After lacking the more critical dragon crystal, the evolution of the dragon eater's job will be greatly reduced.
Swapping a bunch of dispensable rotten information for a Tier 2 Dragon Crystal that was about to arrive, Grim was almost amused by the whimsy of this Oliver.
There is no way, Oliver, who has been wandering in the wilderness for many years and has little contact with the outside world, even if he is talented and intellectual, will inevitably show ultra-low emotional intelligence and social skills.
Facing the dragon eater, who was known as the 'Dragon Hunter', Grim smiled once again and opened his chips.
Join the Crimson Family and become the official wizard of the Crimson Family!
As long as he can do this, Grim is willing to use a Tier 2 Fire Dragon Crystal as an employment fee, and Olivan will be able to enjoy the same benefits as other family wizards from now on.
For this proposal, Oliver did not categorically refuse like last time, but thought about it for half a month. The ruin of the family and the demise of the clan made her no longer dare to believe in the existence of any alien race.
However, the temptation of a complete second-order fire dragon was too great, so Oliver simply spent half a month tormented in sleeplessness.
In the end, Oliver still couldn't resist the desire and urge to become stronger, and agreed to Grim's conditions.
So, without the outside world knowing, the Crimson family accepted a strange 2nd Order Dragon Eater, Oriwen.
To be honest, Oliven's second-order strength is also very watery!
If he is facing a giant dragon, then Olivan will definitely be able to exert his powerful combat power above the 2nd level. But if he was not facing a dragon, but a second-order wizard, Olivan would just be a second-order female assassin.
Moreover, according to the employment agreement signed by the two parties, Oliver refused to leave this Reims plane, and was only willing to provide the necessary combat support for the Crimson family here. For this, Grim did not insist on this. After all, the Crimson family has not yet faced the threat of war in the wizarding world, and most of its energy is currently invested in the Reims plane, so the cooperation goals of the two sides are basically the same.
…………
Burning Plains, Scorching Canyons.
It's a land that burns continuously.
Above the surface, almost everything that could be ignited had been completely burned, leaving only a fiery red stone and a three-finger-thick ash of flame on the ground.
A thick cloud of volcanic ash floated in the air less than 200 meters above the ground, turning the entire sky in gray. The sun hanging high above the sky is like a dark red fireball at the moment, silently burning with light and heat, and there is no longer the warm and warm feeling of the past.
Walking on this fiery land that can burn at any moment, even the air inhaled into the nasal cavity and lungs is so hot and unbearable. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would only take half an hour to stay here, and then all the water would be drained by the terrible heat wave and the ubiquitous sweltering heat, and turn into a charred and cracked dry corpse.
The only creatures that can survive in this land are those fire-type demonic beasts and elemental creatures, as for the other creatures, they have either migrated to distant places or become someone else's mouth.
In short, to survive in such a region, there is simply no need to survive without extraordinary fire resistance!
Those who first enter this place often think that the Burning Plains are a forbidden area for life, and that there will be a dead silence inside.
But when they break into it, they will be surprised to find that even in such a cool environment, there are still countless strange creatures. Among them are large groups of intelligent races, such as the Black Iron Dwarves, Firethroat Dragonmen, Fire-bellied Ogres, and Blackstone Orcs, as well as an incalculable number of bizarre magical creatures, such as Lava Behemoths, Molten Fire Beetles, Lava Fire Elementals, and other elemental creatures with low intelligence that only know how to wander around the Burning Plains......
And as a subordinate of the second-order fire dragon Bamle, the firethroat dragon is a well-deserved ruler here. As for the Blackstone Orcs and Black Iron Dwarves, they have become vassal forces of the Firethroat Dragonmen, helping them rule the entire Burning Plains.
As for the lair of the second-order fire dragon Bamle, it was hidden deep in the scorching canyon.
The so-called scorching canyon is actually a fissure canyon that opens up on the surface in the middle of the burning plain.
The earth cracked a long and narrow crack here, and when you looked down from the crack, you could see the boiling hot magma thousands of meters below. Bamle's lair is built on a side of the rock wall less than 100 meters from the lava sea at the bottom of the valley.
The Black Iron Dwarves were enslaved by dragons, losing hundreds of lives before they carved out a terrible labyrinth with deep twists and turns. And the dragon lord's dormitory is at the end of the labyrinth.
To be honest, even if the old fox Winliel sent by Grim tried his best, he didn't get a map of the dragon maze from the captured dragon guards. According to the confession of the captured dragon guards, after the entire fire dragon labyrinth was built, the second-order fire dragon lord directly devoured all the black iron dwarves and dragon man guards who were responsible for the construction.
And within the dragon labyrinth, Bamler has arranged terrifying magic traps and guard posts as dense as a sea of stars.
In this way, it will also eliminate the possibility of outsiders coveting and snooping on its dragon treasures!
However, it is a pity that no amount of magic traps and killing traps arranged by Bamle can extinguish Grim's determination and perseverance to kill the dragon and take the skin.
However, the only floating giant ship has been damaged on the plane of Faun, and the Crimson family has lost the ability to deliver the magic weapon legion from a distance. It was almost impossible to take the mighty Demonic Legion through the territory of seven or eight dragon lords and reach the Burning Plains, which was located tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Therefore, Grim abandoned the idea of fighting a large army early on, and defined this dragon slaying expedition as a decapitation operation plan of an elite wizard!
As for the wizards who participated in the battle, they were naturally the current second-order main force of the Crimson family.
As the leader and commander of this campaign, Grim naturally had to participate. Other wizards involved in the war included Mary, Zacha, Tigul, and Olivan, as well as Billis, the Worm Witch, and the two Blood Knights.
This can also be regarded as the strongest combat power that the Crimson family can come up with!
