Chapter 58: The Undisciplined Dragon (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Maria saw that Soram was completely absorbed in the study of the new spell and had no intention of paying any attention to her, and she was also bored and left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Solam is now completely distracted, these spells are too precious, not to mention the power of these spells, just with these rare spell models, they are a valuable asset in themselves, every mage hopes that they can learn more spells, which can not only improve their own strength, but more importantly, collect more spell models, so that they can create their own unique spells in the future.
It is the dream of every mage to create spells named after themselves, such as Ma Yufu's strong acid arrow, Ma Yufu is popular, and these spells are named after the creator Ma Yufu.
Although Solam's spell level is not enough to cast these spells, it does not prevent him from recording these spell models first, considering that these are the unique spells of the cloud giant, he can't leak them out at will, so he has to use the "focus" ability to forcibly memorize them all in his mind, otherwise it will not be good to record them in the spell book and be seen by others.
From then on, Solam lived in seclusion, usually staying in her room or library, and even Triss rarely had the opportunity to see Solam, so she got bored and moved out of the palace.
In these days, from those books, Soram finally knew how these cloud giants built their city. It turned out that the cloud giants could sign some contracts with elemental beings through some magic rituals, and let the elements help build their cities, such as those building materials in Genting City, the marble of a water, if they really want to let them collect it themselves, then they don't know that it will be until the Year of the Monkey, so they asked the earth element, directly transported these materials from the earth elemental realm, and also helped to build. Another example is the special clouds in Genting City, which are also created by them by the qi element.
As for why those elemental beings listened to the Cloud Giants, it had to start with the origin of the Cloud Giants, and in the legends of the Cloud Giants, they were the direct descendants of the Titans. The Titans are a very ancient race, they are an absolute order race, they will wander between the universe, looking for some newly formed planes, and then according to their own ideas to transform it more suitable for life and survival. In the multiverse, legends of the Titans creating worlds are circulating in many places.
The Titans, on the other hand, are inextricably linked to the elemental plane, and they can easily control elemental life, and they rely on the help of these elemental life to transform the world. Generally, after the Titans arrive in a world, they will create some giants to help them complete the transformation of the world.
And the cloud giants are the direct descendants created by the Titans, and naturally the cloud giants also have some talents for commanding elemental life. Although not as powerful as the Titans, it is still possible to ask elemental beings to help build a city.
Soram was interested in magical rituals that could communicate directly with the elemental plane, after all, as an elemental shaman himself, he was certainly interested in this knowledge.
But after asking the Council of Elders, Soram gave up, because that was the most important knowledge of the Cloud Giant, and even the Cloud Giant itself was not mastered by many people, let alone Soram, a half-tone king.
Even so, Soram is not unhappy, after all, this is the lifeblood of the race, and Soram will not easily teach others if he stands on the same angle. So Solam didn't force it, and he understood the Elders' explanation.
Perhaps because of Soram's empathy, or perhaps because he was a little indebted to him as a king, the Council of Elders decided to compensate for it by crafting a powerful magical item for Soram.
As for what exactly this magic item is, Soram doesn't know, but considering the strength of the cloud giant, this magic item is still worth looking forward to.
――――――――――――
While Solam was concentrating on learning all kinds of knowledge, Genting City's crusade against the old white dragon was also underway.
But I have to say that an old white dragon is really not so easy to deal with, this old white dragon seems to have also discovered Genting City's crusade against it, so its whereabouts are secretive, and it resolutely does not meet with the large army, and will only sneak attack those lonely cloud giants, this goods are also alert, whenever they see other cloud giants coming to help, they immediately leave the victim and run away, there is no desire to fight with the cloud giants, it is simply the best among the dragons, you must know that the dragons are very proud, unless they really can't fight, they will never run away, but this thing ran away without even fighting.
It dragged on like this for a few months, and he didn't even touch the hair of the white dragon, but because of his sneak attack, he lost more than a dozen warriors, and the total population of Genting City was a little more than 3,000, and the loss of a dozen warriors was enough for the elders to feel distressed for a while.
Genting City is also because of the arrival of this white dragon, the atmosphere in the city is a little tense, the relationship between the giant and the dragon is not good, and the meeting will definitely start, not to mention a cloud giant city, the wealth in it is enough for any dragon to covet.
If it is face-to-face, the hard fight of real swords and guns, even if the ancient dragon comes, the cloud giants in Genting City will not be afraid, but there is really no good way to sneak attack without discipline like this white dragon.
This white dragon is very cunning, does not give the cloud giant a chance at all, and is always cautious, until now, the Council of Elders has not found where its lair is.
Originally, this had little to do with Solam, and even he didn't pay attention to how Genting City crusaded against this white dragon, and was bent on locking himself in the palace and learning the knowledge of the cloud giant.
Until one day, the Council of Elders pulled Solam out and asked him to attend the council. It is said that Elder Tatario felt that since the king had been elected, but the king had never attended a single meeting, it was a bit unreasonable, so he asked Soram to attend a meeting.
Solam thinks this old man is really a bit annoying, you can discuss the matter, why do you bring him here, he won't speak anyway.
But the old lady Gladys persuaded Solam tirelessly, and at last had to sit honestly on the throne and listen to their words.
Then Soram heard about their current predicament.
"Alas! Yesterday another warrior was attacked by the white dragon "Sabria", and although he was not killed, one of his arms was bitten off. Captain Lottrick sighed and reported.
Sabria is the name of the old white dragon, which the elders learned through prophecy, this is a 1700-year-old female white dragon, because the female white dragon is smaller than the male white dragon, so its body length is only 24 meters, so Milor would mistake it for an adult white dragon. (The White Dragon is the smallest of all dragons)
"What does this white dragon want, doesn't it know what kind of price it will pay to provoke a cloud giant city?" Elder Tatario was so angry that he was going to die at this moment, and since the establishment of Genting City to this day, there really aren't any dragons who would run over to provoke him. And Sabria's behavior is undoubtedly contempt for all giants, not to mention that Genting City has already suffered a lot of losses.
"I've thought about this too, I guess she's trying to plunder the wealth of Genting City, after all, dragons are all virtues." Gladys, who had been standing next to Solam's throne, also spoke.
Gladys was the archsteward of Soram and the cloud giant, and the king needed one of these stewards to help him sort out some of his daily affairs and daily life. It didn't work for Soram, but the rigid Council of Elders still arranged it.
"Humph! Our cloud giant will not give in to anything, not to mention that she is just a white dragon. When one of the elders heard this, he immediately expressed his anger. The other elders followed suit.
If they were really robbed by a giant dragon, or a white dragon, then they would become the laughing stock of other Cloud Giant Cities and Storm Giant Cities.
The cities of the Cloud Giants generally do not come into contact with other people, but they still have some contact with their own kind, as well as the Storm Giants, although they are all far, far apart.
"Okay, that's all nonsense, we're going to talk about how to get rid of this white dragon now." Elder Tatario saw that the meeting was a bit chaotic, so he spoke out and pulled them all back to the original topic.
"The biggest problem is to find her nest so that we can encircle her. Just by us sending out fighters to reconnoitre, the losses will be great, and she will always sneak up on our scouts. Lotrick said helplessly, the soldiers who have been lost recently are all scouts who were sent out to reconnoiter the White Dragon's lair, but even so, they still haven't found the dragon's lair.
"Prophecy spells are not omnipotent, and that white dragon is smarter than we thought, and will actually use spells to evade our detection. Without warrior scouting, it's hard for us to actually find her lair. Elder Tatario was also helpless, he didn't want to use warriors to reconnoitre, but when the spell didn't work, he had to use this method.
"Then are we going to accept such a loss? She will not spare our scouts, so that there is no point in adding more losses. "Lotrick was very opposed to continuing to use fighters to reconnoitre, he had already lost a dozen fighters, and it was impossible for him to send anyone to his death.
Adult Cloud Giant warriors are generally not very afraid of dragons. However, this white dragon is too insidious, using all kinds of traps and spells to sneak attack, and rarely goes head-to-head at the beginning, often only after those warriors are injured does she suddenly appear and attack.
"Then you say, is there anything else we can do? Are they all huddled in the city? Just let her show off her might around our city? Then what face do we have to meet the ancestors, the cloud giant can't accept this humiliation. Before Elder Tatario could speak, another female Cloud Giant Elder retorted.
