Midnight Ghost - Black Eclipse Dragon:

Long ago, the Black Eclipse Dragon was the protagonist of the villagers' verbal ghost stories, but the Hunters' Guild has little record of the monster: it can hide in the dark, spread black scales, and litter the wilderness with corpses. That's what the material is all about. It wasn't until the news came that there were rampaging monsters in various places, hunters stained with scale powder had lost their ability to heal themselves, and their wounds could not heal, that the veil of this mysterious monster was gradually revealed.

The Black Eclipse Dragon is an ancient dragon that hides in sparsely populated areas, and is a true dragon, medium in size, carnivorous, and only comes to hunt in species-rich areas when it is hungry; Cautious in temperament, he usually does not engage in head-on confrontation with large monsters. The pitch-black scales that covered its entire body melted it into the darkness, and its massive winged cloak dragged behind it, with no eyes and no excellent hearing; In order to perceive its surroundings, the Black Eclipse has evolved the ability to detect its surroundings using a special "scale powder" that helps the Black Eclipse to distinguish living and non-living things, as well as detect terrain. The scale powder mainly comes from the wings of the Black Eclipse Dragon, which can also spit out of its mouth.

According to the analysis of the Mick scholars, the scale powder is an organic matter, and the reaction with biological blood will be converted into active molecular clusters, transforming the biological body, because the experimental animals are all crazy to death - consistent with the symptoms of the monster madness recorded over the years, the guild named this scale powder the mad dragon virus, and the mysterious monster that spread the mad dragon virus was named the black eclipse dragon. However, the research was interrupted for a long time, and it was not until a mage successfully hunted the Black Eclipse Dragon that the research could be further carried out.

According to the mage, the Black Eclipse Dragon can not only use the dragon virus to lock on and attack the target, but also use the virus to strengthen itself: when the Black Eclipse Dragon is berserk, the dragon virus in the body will be transported to the nerve center with the rapid flow of blood, which greatly improves the perception ability of the Black Eclipse Dragon (the external appearance is that the tentacles are erected), so that the Black Eclipse Dragon can better control its body: the concentration of the virus spit out is higher so that the sky is dark, the wing claws on the back can be flexibly used, and even "one heart and two purposes", when the head attacks a target, The Wing Claw can also attack another target. Later, Simic scholars included it in the category of ancient dragons on the basis that the black eclipse dragon could change the weather in its mad state.

Because the black eclipse dragon is a vegetative reproduction creature, scale powder is not only a weapon and detector, but also a tool for the reproduction of the black eclipse dragon: these scale powder will be mixed with some components in the blood of the creature, from inanimate organic matter crystals into virus infected organisms, the infected creature will immediately or after a certain incubation period of onset disease, the diseased monster has red eyes, spits black gas, loses its mind, and finally dies in the fight with other monsters or is eroded to death by the virus. Only a handful of monsters survived. The corpses of some of these monsters were transformed into black dragons by the virus. Humans, on the other hand, are more distant from the Black Eclipse Dragon, so the symptoms of the dragon disease are relatively mild.

The Black Eclipse Dragon grows by molting, and the concentration of the virus in the skin will increase with each molt, and after the last molt, the Black Eclipse Dragon will become a Celestial Dragon. And every molt is a test of life and death for the Black Eclipse Dragon, if it can't be successfully molted, the old skin will become the Black Eclipse Dragon's body bag. Because the molting success rate is not high, the number of individuals in the black eclipse has been stabilized.

Flame Emperor - Flame King Dragon:

A solitary ancient dragon and a deadly hunter, the Flame King Dragon's powerful explosive power and skillful flame attacks have made him the "Flame Emperor" and "Lord of Purgatory".

The Flame King Rex has a long lifespan and an extremely large store of red mana. Niv-Mizzet the Excher's best friend, Lieri's Dimmit, is a 1,200-year-old Flame King Dragon. Over the course of time, Burning Sun's dimitt learns languages, learns magic, and explores the truth of Elsa's world, emerging from the many wild Flame Dragons to become a wise elder.

One of the first ancient dragons discovered after the establishment of the Boros Legion's Ancient Dragon Observatory, the Flame King was named the Flame King Dragon due to its strong command of fire and explosions, with the female being called the Flame Princess, and the male being called the Flame King.

The Flame King Dragon is a medium-sized ancient dragon, carnivorous, and has a wide distribution, from volcanoes to deserts, from marshes to ancient ruins. The whole body is covered with crimson scales, the horns on the top of the head and the thick red mane on the neck are a symbol of power and a tool of courtship. The cephalic and facial structures resemble those of a feline, and the eyes and ears are protected by a thick cuticle; The bridge of the nose is short, making it easier for it to breathe hot air; Sharp canine teeth stick out of the mouth. There are three pairs of feet and one pair of membranous wings, but the third pair of feet at the base of the hind legs is degenerate; There are fine hairs on the surface of the wing membrane.

The Yanwang dragon mainly feeds on herbivorous dragons, but can also prey on speed dragons, sheep kuku, daimyo shield crabs, sickle crabs, lava dragons, and even lone wyverns. The Fireking Rex pursues its prey by running quickly or flying and diving, and its fiery red appearance makes it impossible to ambush its prey, but with the strong endurance unique to the ancient dragon, the Flame Kingsaurus can be pursued for a long time, and with its amazing bite force, it is difficult to escape once the prey is targeted by it. Such efficient hunting, coupled with its own withdrawn temperament, resulted in almost no other animals in the territory of the Yanwang Dragon.

The Flame King Dragon will only use its fire attack when it encounters a strong enemy. It has a special organ on its neck (similar to the fire dragon's karmic pouch) that stores phosphorus powder and a large amount of red mana, and the Yanwang Dragon will hold a small amount of phosphorus powder in its mouth, mix it with the liquid secreted by special glands in the mouth, turn it into a mist and blow it out, and ignite it with its teeth, because the Yanwang Rex has a large lung capacity, it can blow the high-burning mist far away, and the flames it spews out are extremely vigorous. And when the Yanwanglong is angry, the phosphorus powder can even burn in the mouth of the Yanwanglong, so that the Yanwanglong's head is wrapped in a heat wave, and it will be roasted if it is close. Therefore, people call him the "Flame Emperor" in awe. Some older Firelord Dragons will use the flames they spit out to release red mana stored in their organs. It usually manifests as a violent earthquake or a powerful volcanic eruption.

This is not the most dangerous feature of Yanwanglong, the body hair, especially the hair on the wing membrane, can also absorb a large amount of phosphorus powder; The range of Pyrrhinosaurus (volcanoes, deserts, and swamps) has one thing in common: it is rich in minerals, so the Boros Legion's Ancient Dragon Observatory speculates that the phosphorus powder was collected in the territory of the Pyrrhinosaurus. The phosphorus powder adsorbed on the body hair can be diffused through the flapping of the wings, and the ignition of the teeth of the Flame King Rex causes a large-scale explosion, and the high temperature generated is enough to vaporize the organisms in the range. Hence the nickname "Lord of Purgatory".

The Flame King Dragon will travel across the ocean to the New World to find the place where the dragon crystallizes the life energy, and prolongs its life with the energy of the crystallization.

"A few distinguished guests, the host is in very bad health, it is inconvenient to meet guests, and please let a few stay in the Eagle's Nest for a few days, the host let me arrange the highest standard accommodation in the Eagle's Nest, I hope you will not be surprised. Tomorrow night there will be a big banquet at the Eagle's Nest, and you are invited to attend. At that time, the master will attend the feast, and I hope that by then the poor old master will be in better health, and to be honest, the master has obviously been a little out of his mind lately, but I still ask you to visit and review the training of the griffin knights in a few days. "Bolt Pence conveyed to the crowd what old Griffinhardt meant.

"Oh, Bolt, I don't even believe my wife now." Mrs. Greon rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

"That's what you said! Mrs. Grace! The Golden Ears of Wheat were Griffinhardt's most important courtiers and the most trusted family of their masters. The host remembers your voice and smile 40 years ago... Bolt hurriedly and cautiously replied to Mrs. Green, and for the wise old lady, Bolt should also be careful in his words.

"Oh, come on, that old guy from Griffin Hart can remember forty years ago, and I think he'll only remember four years ago in a few years... Cough! But, forget it, the old woman doesn't care about you. I'm going to stay at the Roaring Hotel, where the beds will be quiet for my damned old woman, and it won't be very damp, so you can take care of the rest. ”

"Oh, madam, don't say that, don't say that, if the master knew that you said that, there would be good fruit to eat! Bolt naturally remembers your preferences, and the Roaring Lodge is ready! I'll personally send someone to send you there. Mr. McLagan, why don't you all stay in Blue Harbour and enjoy the best bard performances at the Eagle's Nest and burlesque in the evening, it's a great way to relax, isn't it? What do you think? Do you have any special needs? In the next must do the friendship of the landlord, and try to let the guests live a good day in the Eagle's Nest. ”

"Dear sir, I am Anna Wolf, the wife of Anthony Wolf, the eldest son of Lord Slava, the Duke of Running Wolf and the owner of Longtalon Castle, and I am coming to the Eagle's Nest for the first time, and I wonder if Sir can provide a guide? I want to see what the city has to offer, and I need a quiet place to stay, and if I can, visit the Eagle's Nest's library? Anna first introduced herself, and then made her own request to Bolt.

"Ah, dear Lady Wof, your needs can definitely be satisfied, there is a manor in the east of the Eagle's Nest, called Moonlight Flowing Water, extremely quiet and deep, ingeniously, the largest library and alchemist laboratory of the Eagle's Nest are next to the moonlight flowing water, the avenue in front of the manor can lead directly to the Eagle's Nest City Gate, it is convenient to go anywhere, do you feel satisfied?" Bolt was surprised first by Anna's identity, then by her hobby, and thought, maybe Anna is a witch or an alchemist? It seemed that this required a detailed report to the master, but seeing Anna's smile reminded Bolt of the shadow of the old lady Gryne he had seen some 30 years ago when he was a first-class manservant in the Eagle's Nest.

"Maybe it's a delusion." Bolt muttered.
