The temple guards carry the crystal bucket and catch the dragon's blood on the newly opened bloodletting point on the red dragon of Talos.

An adult red dragon typically reaches 75 feet from head to tail, with a wingspan of 90 feet and weighs tens of tons, and although the red dragon Grau is still a juvenile with a body length of only 50 feet, he still contributes more than 7,000 pounds of fresh dragon blood to Talos.

There weren't many crystal barrels in the palace of Afallon, so later Talos simply opened the watch world and bled the dragon directly at the back half of the pool.

"The dragon scales and dragon flesh are temporarily placed here, and the dragon's blood baptism will be carried out first. ”

At Talos' behest, the temple guards carried the crystal bucket and poured the dragon's blood into the second half of the empty pool.

Soon, a strong smell of blood filled the temple space, and because it was a red dragon, it was mixed with a faint pungent smell of sulfur.

No one cared about any of this, and their eyes were drawn to the scarlet dragon's blood in the pool and the dragon's blood baptism ritual that was about to begin.

The pool in the Temple of Talos is large enough that even the second half is 9 x 6 x 5 cubic feet, and all the dragon's blood poured into it only fills up a third of the space.

The conditions are limited, and the most primitive bathing method can only be carried out, and the dragon's blood can be directly bathed, Talos thought.

Naga was the first to stick her tail into the pool of blood, feeling nothing but a hint of burning.

It may be due to the strange origin of this body, or the limited difference in strength between Naga and the red dragon after the dragon slay, in short, as Talos guessed before, dragon blood baptism is not of much use to him, and it is better to eat dragon meat.

With such regrets and thoughts, Talos stretched out his hand and pointed out a few young men and women who were usually more clever and studied very hard, and pointed at the blood pool: "Take off your coat and enter the blood pool to be baptized by dragon blood." ”

Also in the same batch were the king Aragon and the old priests.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Thank God for this!"

The young men and women who were ordered smiled and were very excited, and immediately hurriedly removed their clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear, and couldn't wait to enter the pool of blood under the envious eyes of their friends.

In the next second, a painful and suppressed cry echoed in the temple.

Burning, is their first feeling.

At first, it was due to the burning sensation caused by the temperature of the dragon's blood, and then the strange energy hidden in the dragon's blood acted on every inch of their body's skin, producing a sting that resembled being corroded by acid.

"Hold back, now, hold up the dragon's blood in front of you and drench it everywhere in your body. ”

Under the order of Talos, the eight people who initially entered the blood pool forcibly endured the stinging pain, screamed loudly and trembled, and took the dragon's blood in their hands and poured it from their heads, turning into bloody people.

None of them are fools, they know the effect of dragon blood baptism, if they forcibly end it early because they can't bear the pain caused by bathing in dragon blood, I'm afraid they can really only be described as regretting for life.

These bloods derived from the second-order red dragon were a bit of a chicken for Talos for various reasons, but they were a great supplement for the young men and women whose general strength was still hovering in the second order of black iron.

The vast energy contained in the dragon's blood will be absorbed by them as they bathe, strengthening and transforming their bodies, permanently improving their physique and strength, making their skin tough and gaining resistance to dragon power.

In addition, depending on the dragon type, after completing the Dragon's Blood Baptism, they can also gain some magic resistance, such as the fire resistance of the red dragon.

"If you finish bathing and can't stick to it, you can choose to come out by yourself. Talos turned to the remaining young men and women and said, "Get ready, and when you see someone come out, you will enter it and be baptized." ”

For the next hour, the entire Temple of Talos reverberated with screams from the burning and stinging of dragon blood.

When all 24 boys and girls had been baptized with dragon blood, Talos found that the pool of dragon blood was still a crimson color, indicating that the energy contained in it had not been fully absorbed - normally it would have turned into a pink, strawberry jelly-like solid.

So, with a wave of his hand, Talos let 30 temple guards enter and be baptized.

The 30 temple guards followed Talos from the beginning to receive the dragon's blood and drain the water, and although they were envious of the dragon's blood baptism, they did not have the luxury of expecting it.

After all, the identity of any one in the temple is above them, the king, the priest, the disciple of the divine envoy.

Therefore, when faced with great good news, they could almost burst into the light of devotion when they looked at Talos.

It is worth mentioning that probably because of the dragon's silver nature, and the dragon's blood has a certain effect, there is nothing wrong with the young men and women, but Aragorn and later the temple guards have some embarrassing situations.

The results proved that the effect of the dragon's blood baptism on the Afalon natives was still very obvious, and nearly half of the young men and women had advanced to the first order on the original basis.

Arthur and the other three young men and women who had persisted for a long time were even promoted by two ranks, directly entering the fourth order of black iron, and their physical fitness was comparable to that of a carefully selected guard.

Of course, these were visible ascensions and gains, and in places that no one else could perceive, Talos used the soul fire and snake pupils to see that a bright thread burst out of the bodies of every young man and woman baptized by dragon blood, temple guards, and Aragorn, submerging into the void and finally connecting to the soul fire.

In terms of faith, they could only be regarded as shallow believers or true believers, but after receiving the gift of Talos and receiving the dragon's blood baptism, they entered the ranks of devout believers in one fell swoop.

At Sainz, devotion is the minimum standard for becoming a priest, and every priest who is able to sense the gods and receive the infusion of holy power to open up the space for meditation has a level of faith at this level.

Devout believers mean that from this day forward, they will behave in accordance with the teachings set by Talos, and will be willing to take the initiative to proclaim and spread the power and glory of God.

Without enough external temptations and stimuli, they generally do not renounce their beliefs, and as for renunciation, it is even more difficult.

Talos, who had long been the object of their faith, was very satisfied with this, and their existence was enough to ensure that the belief of the "God Messenger Talos" would continue for a long time after the end of the Plane Arrival.

After completing the dragon's blood baptism, the next step was to dispose of the other parts of the dragon corpse, Talos thought for a moment and said to Aragorn, "There should be enough ice in the palace, right?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them. ”

Afaron would instruct the guards to collect huge blocks of ice in the winter, store them in the ice cellars, and take them out to eat in the summer.

In the native plane where spells are not developed, this is the most primitive method.

"That's good. Talos nodded, and commanded, "In your name, invite the kings of the surrounding city-states to come to Afaron for a feast of dragon meat, and the time is set for this day next month." ”

As a king, Aragorn knew everything and immediately understood that this was a great opportunity!
