Chapter 730: Extreme Testing
The mountain wind howls, the pine waves are like fury, and the mountain fortress stands among the hills, it is majestic, cold, dark, and gloomy, like a giant beast that has lost its life, revealing ominous and inexplicable terror.
Castles are fortified shelters that symbolize the power of the lord, but if left untended for a long time, any castle can become a breeding ground for hatching ghost stories.
The stronghold of the Skylark Mountains has long been converted into a training base for alchemy humans, and there are currently more than a hundred third-level source blood warriors here, who have to learn social knowledge, and also participate in gathering labor and patrol tasks, and there are only a dozen alchemy militias stationed in the mountain fortress of Nuoda. They were mainly responsible for guarding the treasury, and most of the rooms were not lit with candles all year round to prevent fires, and the castle was also a problem to clean and sprinkle due to the lack of manpower.
The castle is infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants, and dust and cobwebs are everywhere. The free-range cats are the owners of the castle, and they have no qualms about leaving behind leftover debris and droppings, but they are helpless against blood-sucking bed bugs, and the fortress is always filled with rancid, moldy, and disgusting smells.
Victor longs for the freedom and expanses of space, and hates dark and closed castles, especially mountain fortresses.
The alchemy humans here can't say a few words all year round, and the silence is terrifying, and when they walk around the fortress, they really wander like undead.
Since the Immerson father and daughter left the mountain fortress and integrated into Randall's territory, Victor was reluctant to live in the castle again, and he ordered the alchemical auxiliary Busso to build a fine wooden house villa on the hills to the north as a temporary homestay.
In fact, the function of the Skylark Mountain stronghold has changed, and Victor rarely frequents it anymore. Originally, the mountain fortress was able to hide the alchemy humans who were different from ordinary people, collect and process mountain forest resources, and create a steady stream of wealth for Victor. As the Randall family grew in size and the alchemists were sent around the world by Victor, the production activities of the mountain fortresses gradually came to a standstill, and even the pits were resealed.
Now the mountain fortress is only used as a training center for alchemy humans and a logistics storage point for the swamp advance base, and if it weren't for this alchemy militia update, this stronghold would only be stationed in more than 40 people in normal times.
However, the colony was well equipped, with a huge brick kiln, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter's workshop, a corral, an orchard, a barracks and a warehouse, as well as a large stockpile of ore, fuel, and seeds of a thousand reeds.
It's a pity that the mountain fortress is so idle and deserted...... Victor stood on the hillside, looking down at the deserted castle town below, secretly planning to select school-age children from all over the cottages, bring them here, and form the secret Eagle School.
In this way, I can save a lot of money and time...... Best of all, the mountain fortress is ready-made, there is no need to send craftsmen to build it, and no one will reveal the location of the Eagle Academy...... Thinking of the headache that the powerful lord of the centaur hills had in order to build the secret castle of the school, Victor couldn't help but smile slightly.
His Royal Highness Randall has a strange temperament, handsome, he smiled slightly, and the sound of sucking saliva immediately came from the left and right, although there was a greed, but with the taste of flattery, obsession, and surrender, there was a strange charm.
Victor's eyes sank, his slender eyebrows furrowed, and he looked to the left and right.
On the left is a girl with short red hair and red eyes, and the girl on the right is a girl with long emerald green hair and green eyes, they are also tall, plump and graceful, with smooth and firm snow-white skin, delicate facial features, beautiful appearance, and a pair of small white horns that bend forward on their heads.
The two of them are as perfect as high-ranking female knights, but they have their own distinct temperaments.
The redhead is like a raging flame, unbridled and powerful, she looks at Victor with a fiery and bold eyes, full of aggression, and the greenhead has a graceful temperament, quiet and gentle, but her eyes are dense and have the deepest power.
Although the two Argonian women stared at Victor with burning eyes, Victor felt like puppies inviting pets from their owners, and they almost didn't wag their tails.
He groaned a little and asked, "What's your name?"
"My king, I have just been born, and I don't have a name yet...... " The red-haired and red-eyed Argonian said first, taking two steps towards Victor.
Another Argonian woman approached Victor first, and said in a soft voice, "My king, I beg you to give me a title. ”
As he spoke, their eyes met, two pairs of heterochromatic eyes turned into vertical pupils, invisible spiritual power collided and spread, and the sounds of birds and beasts around them instantly subsided, as long as the wind whimpered and shouted on the treetops.
The Argonians' "Dragon Power" is ineffective against Victor, and he has a headache for another matter.
"Your Majesty, why don't you call me your lord or your master, but you call me your king?"
Victor asked with the word "king", and the greenhead happily replied, "I don't know why, but you are our king." ”
Not to be outdone, the redhead bowed to Victor and said, "My king, please give me my name." ”
"Your Majesty, please give me my name first. The green-haired woman followed Shi Lidao closely.
"Slut, you dare to provoke me!"
"You're the ...... slut"
The two Argonians began arguing and scolding each other over Victor, and the words they turned over and over were all from the mountain fortress's collection of tales.
The learning ability is far better than that of alchemy humans, but I am afraid that it is not only excellent learning ability....... Victor listened for a while, and stopped them from continuing to quarrel, and asked, "Why don't you fight?"
The redhead's temper was as hot as her figure, and she said excitedly: "My king, you give the order, I will definitely beat the slut on the opposite side and rub it on the ground!"
"Hmph, I'll freeze you into a popsicle and rub it on the ground. The green-haired woman, who was obviously inferior to her opponent, approached Victor again, and begged pitifully, "Your Majesty, please give me a name." ”
Victor's face was a little unnatural, and words like "rubbing on the ground" and "popsicles" were words from the stories he scribbled when he was bored, and stored them on the bookshelves of the mountain fortress. The two Argonians read the storybook he used to fill up the numbers, and they still used it.
However, the wurmists produced by the Alchemy Tower repeatedly asked for his name, intentionally or unintentionally, which aroused Victor's alarm.
Alchemy Tower Seven produces Argonian Fury and Argonian Raiders, and uses female templates, a decision made by Victor after weighing the pros and cons.
The Red Dragon Bloodline has the strongest Rage attributes, and the Green Dragon Bloodline has the highest cost of raiders, one spitting fire and the other spitting ice, which is the most representative of dragon creatures. As for the Defender of the Brass Dragon Bloodline and the Ripper of the Blue Dragon Bloodline, which are very rare species, Victor believes that these two kinds of Wurmians are not enough to give back to the instinctive nature of the Dragons. Also, the Wurm Defenders only have male templates, and Victor won't produce Wurmon males until some of the situation is figured out.
Victor doesn't know much about dragons. According to the ancient Chosen One, dragons were greedy and hobby-collecting treasures and beautiful things, including beautiful creatures, and the second characteristic of dragons was promiscuity, especially male dragons, who had an almost paranoid pursuit of reproduction and bloodline, and often developed cross-racial romances, such as mammoths, white apes, hydras, and water lizards.
However, the Chosen have found no examples of giant creatures overrun by male dragons giving birth to dragons. Victor guessed that the ancestor of the dragon clan missed the opportunity to spread the bloodline for some reason, and no other creatures were attached to the dragon clan except the kobolds, causing the dragon's life form to solidify, and the dragon's bloodline inheritance was on the verge of being cut off. That's why male dragons are hungry and frantically want to expand the diversity of dragon creatures.
In contrast, female dragons have a much better reputation for this, although they kidnap human knights, which they also keep as pets.
The wurmists produced by the Alchemy Tower have the characteristics of natural creatures, and Victor has no way of knowing if they are the same as the alchemy creatures of the past. But anyone who has ever looked at the creature templates left behind by the Mist Alchemist will always remind him of the fallen ancient alchemists, archmages and the playthings they created.
God knows what kind of mess the misty mountain alchemists loaded into the will side of the Wurmian creature template.
Considering the near-human size of the wurmists, the bad reputation of the male dragons, and the natural biological evolutionary characteristics, Victor first needs to determine whether the wurmians have the autonomy and whether they can reproduce naturally.
In the final analysis, it is to see if they have loopholes to break away from the control of the Alchemy Tower.
The male version of the Argonian Protector is a golden-tier transcendent being, and there is little place for Randall to trap him, and no one can keep an eye on him all the time. If he sneaks out hundreds of kilometers to reproduce bloodlines, and can get a human female pregnant, then it will be a big trouble.
Female Argonians don't have this problem, and even if they can get pregnant, they are especially easy to monitor so that they don't spread the Argonian bloodline beyond Randall's territory.
For now, Victor's concerns are not unfounded. He had King Taling set up the alchemist humans to call himself "Lord", while the two Argonians called him king. It is explained that the title setting of Taling is not valid for them. Moreover, they not only have personality traits, but also obviously covet the beauty of their owners, and even become jealous. The most important thing is that they don't have names, and the way they speak and the vocabulary they use come from the books in the mountain fortress and the training of the older generation of alchemists.
After working for a long time, most of the initial memories on the will side of the Wulongs were blank.
However, this does not prove that they are not bound by the Alchemy Tower, as their language and written memory are still loaded by Alchemy Tower Seven, and there is no barrier to communication with Victor.
When Victor first met them, these two guys were huddled in the treasure trove of the mountain fortress, one person occupied half of the treasure house, and even the food had to be sent in by the alchemy militia, full miser. If it hadn't been for Victor's own summoning, they wouldn't have come out at all. However, the Alchemy Militia have confirmed that they are the same type produced by Alchemy Pagoda No. 7.
Now, extreme testing is needed to reach a final conclusion.
Victor's dark golden eyes shone brightly, and the mighty howling mountain wind turned into sharp blades, cutting into the bodies of the two wurmists, and in the midst of the turbulent airflow, the six-legged alligator leather armor was torn apart, revealing two perfectly curved bodies. The Wind Blade, capable of tearing through tough leather armor, only left red marks on their snow-white, smooth skin, and soon became as delicate as ever.
Victor's eyes shrank slightly, although he didn't exert his full strength, the tenacity and elemental resistance of the wurmians were indeed amazing, and their transformation into dragon form would only become stronger.
"Your Majesty, are you going to pamper me here?" said the green-haired waist-length girl with a soft smile and a pleasant voice.
"Shut up, slut! My king is calling me to serve. ”
The wind blade just now was enough to cut through the body of ordinary people, and Victor was ready to see how the wurmians reacted after being hurt by their masters, but they didn't expect the brain circuits of the two xeronian females to be different.
"Don't move, relax, don't resist my will. Victor commanded, calling for the wind elemental to penetrate the skin of the Argonians, sensing their physiology and latent functioning.
The two wurm females really stood there motionless, matching their master's wind elemental perception.
The results of the insight showed that their physiology was close to that of humans, with a degree of similarity of more than 75%, but the heart and brain had a half-crystalline, half-flesh inner core, which may be the source of power for the Argonians to condense the Void Element and transform into a dragonman. Victor was surprised to learn that their reproductive systems were identical to those of human women, but incomplete. This indicates that the wurmite females created by the Alchemy Tower are infertile.
However, naturally evolving Wurmian females have the same reproductive system as humans, meaning they are viviparous rather than laying eggs like dragons.
The female of the Wurmians created by the Alchemy Tower cannot be fertile, but if the lost dragons evolve into dragonmen, they will change their oviparity to viviparity, and their populations will become more stable and safe.
For more than 10,000 years, the dragons have not flown back, could it be that they have evolved into wingless dragonmen in the Southern Continent?
Victor shook his head, gathered his divergent thoughts, and said indifferently, "You have transformed into dragonmen...... Then, I'm going to kill you. ”
"And ...... I allow you to resist. ”
