Watching the young black dragon who thought he had taken advantage of a lot of advantages leave proudly, but a hint of gloom flashed in Ello's eyes.

Unlike normal baby dragons, Iroh's legacy memories were missing some important information - he didn't know who his parents were or what kind of dragon he was - but he knew something that normal baby dragons didn't know.

For example, a contract engraved in the depths of one's soul.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to eat, drink, and be merry like Vess, reveling in the fact that he is the strongest race.

When he first discovered the existence of this contract, the unprecedented fear and humiliation nearly drove Iroh crazy. Fortunately, he soon realized that it was not a terrible master-servant contract or some other contract that could directly or indirectly limit his freedom.

More precisely, it is a trade pact.

Sighing softly, Iroh grabbed the golden pendant on his chest, his mind rummaging through his memory. This pendant was the first item he summoned through the contract, and I have to say, it helped him a lot.

Half an hour after breaking the shell, Iroh noticed the difference: all life within ten meters of his body would wither at an accelerated rate, even if he tried his best to suppress it, this range would not be reduced to less than five meters, and as long as his movement range was too large, or his mood fluctuations became larger, the effect of inhibition would be greatly reduced.

What's more, Iroh noticed on the second day of his birth that this range was ...... It seems to increase as you grow.

Although this characteristic allows him not to worry too much about his premature death, the inheritance memory also tells him that now in this plane called Elohim, hundreds of races stand side by side, and the wind of exploration prevails, whether it is the Western Continent where the human race is prosperous or the East Road dominated by orcs, all kinds of adventurers are either alone or in teams, exploring all the secrets.

This ability to make all life wither...... It's too conspicuous, it would be nice if there was a powerful force to protect him, but he was alone.

Unless it is an extremely special situation, it is impossible for even the lone dragon not to come into contact with intelligent races other than dragons during his growth stage - and this characteristic of his own obviously does not belong to any kind of good camp.

You must know that the world of Elohim is now in a "glorious era", that is, the forces of the good and orderly camps have the absolute upper hand, while the evil and chaotic camps are becoming weaker and weaker.

Whether it is the god of light of the mainstream belief in the Western Continent or the eternal god of the mainstream belief in the Eastern Continent, they are not the gods of the evil camp, and most of those evil gods have been defeated at the beginning of this era, and those who have not been defeated are also in a state of shrinkage.

This is probably the case within the dragons, with the metal dragons allied with the major powers, and the colored dragons trying to keep a low profile. Iroh knows very well that neither his own ability nor his own nature has anything to do with "kindness".

Therefore, once he is exposed to the public, his fate may be completely out of his control......

To get back to the point, the pendant on Iroh's chest has the effect of completely suppressing the terrifying force field that causes the death of living beings!

In addition to this pendant, a trade pact called the "Faith Swap Pact" allows Iroh to summon more things. When Iroh used his psychic powers to probe inside the contract seal, he could see a dazzling array of goods.

These goods are divided into three sections: Slaves, Supplies, and Equipment, except that all of them do not need to be purchased with money, but instead use a strange currency called "Faith Points".

To put it simply, faith points are transformed from the power of faith, and as long as someone believes in Iroh, the faith points can be increased - it sounds a lot like the methods that the gods would use.

Isn't there a god who wants to collect faith through his own power?

But Iroh quickly denied it, first of all, the power of faith could not be exchanged, secondly, he didn't have any godhead in his body, and he didn't believe that a contract mark could do what a godhead could do, and finally, ......

Just take a cursory glance at the items at the bottom of the redemption list, and even the dullest dragon will understand that no god can do such a thing.

"Primordial Dragon (Fire): An elemental dragon condensed from the power of fire at the beginning of creation, wielding the supreme divine power of destruction, innovation, and transformation. Demand: 100 trillion supreme faith points. ”

This is the "commodity" listed at the bottom of the list of slaves.

Although the product at the bottom of the equipment list was not so exaggerated, the prefix of "Creation Artifact" and the subsequent indication of "Supreme Faith Point Eight Hundred Billion" also really made Iroh gasp.

It is very clear in the inheritance memory that the two most powerful main gods of light and eternity are all third-generation gods, such as the existence of the level of the primordial dragon, if it can really be summoned...... Then the existence that has the ability to carve a contract on his soul is at least the first generation of gods who have long been proven to be extinct!

Relatively speaking, the list of supplies is much more normal. Not only does it not have that "supreme faith point" that looks very powerful, but even the demand for faith points is limited to 100,000 points - of course, most of the goods in this section are food, building materials, potions and the like.

It is worth mentioning that Iroh also found the exchange of gold, gems and other resources in the corner of this list, and the required faith points are generally between ten and one hundred.

Iroh was suddenly glad that he wasn't a colored dragon.

No kidding, if this contract is in Weis's soul, it is estimated that he will try to get a batch of faith points as soon as possible, and then exchange all of them for treasures that cannot be eaten or used!

Iroh was different, and although he admitted that he liked the shiny stuff too, he at least knew what he wanted most.

- That's right, respond to that sentence and keep going...... Get strong enough and find out the answers to the puzzles!

In fact, Iroh had already worked on it: the Ikut Valley was not the first territory Iroh had founded.

Within half a month of breaking the shell, he was lucky enough to enslave a group of mountain people, and then spent another month gathering bandits, fugitives, and other outlaws in the vicinity to build a ragtag army of goblins, orcs, humans, and other humanoid creatures - even though half of them were killed by Ello's abilities.

Using the deception and deterrence techniques of the Legacy Memory, Iroh managed to make these guys consider themselves gods and gain their first faith points.

Similar to the church of the gods, the faith level here is also divided into shallow believers, true believers, devout believers, fanatical believers, and disciples.

Shallow Believers: 1 to 5 faith points per day.

True believers: 10 to 20 faith points per day.

Devout believers: 50 to 100 faith points per day.

Zealot: 200 to 500 faith points per day.

Disciples: More than 1,000 faith points per day.

And this temporary "church" of Iro, because all the members are shallow believers, can only harvest hundreds of faith points a day - originally Iroh was thinking about whether he could finally exchange the original dragon through time accumulation, but after learning that one billion faith points can be exchanged for a supreme faith point, he wisely gave up this idea.

In short, Iroh exchanged this restraint device for the first time, erasing an unstable factor.

As it turned out, Iroh had made the right decision: just three days after he exchanged the restraints, a notable party of adventurers arrived.

Iroh wasn't surprised by this, because when he conquered those humanoids before, the force field was too eye-catching, and he didn't have any good methods at hand to control these motley armies, so the so-called crowds were mixed, and it was only a matter of time before the news got out.

Therefore, before he could make any direct contact with the adventurer, Iroh decisively killed all of them—without his powers—and fled.

Next, Iroh took advantage of the concealment of the restraint device and traveled all the way north until he completely escaped the pursuit of the adventurers and reached the Icourt Valley.

Luckily for him, the valley had no owner, only an ancient castle that had apparently been abandoned for many years, and a group of sword-jawed spiders that occupied it. Of course, the brothers Weiss and Hilcart, who live in a muddy hole, should also be counted?

Needless to say, these demonic beasts that seemed ferocious to ordinary people had become Ello's meal. And the pair of young black dragons were successfully absorbed into the Tokamak faction under the influence of force and interests.

Naturally, the earth elemental that Vis saw at the time was also a servant summoned by Aeloh with a faith point.

There aren't many options available in the Servant section of this contract, only three races: Goblins, Fire Elementals, and Earth Elementals, although each race contains a number of branches, such as the Humanoid Fire Elemental and the Beast Fire Elemental, the Mountain Giant, and the Granite Giant.

If it were Vess, he would definitely choose to summon a group of goblins to his advantage. The reason is simple, goblins are the cheapest, and more labor can be obtained for the same faith points - at least this castle, which is slightly better than the ruins, can be renovated sooner rather than later, and it is not bad to be served by many people.

But Iroh is different, because those benefits are not very practical to put it bluntly. As the new lord of the Ikut Valley, Iroh felt the need to strengthen his guards first.

And the price of one of the most common earth elements is five times that of the most ordinary goblins, but in terms of combat, it is enough to rival ten goblins.

As for the fire elemental?

Come on, no matter how pragmatic Iroh is, he's still a dragon, and he doesn't want the castle, which looks like it might fall down at any moment, to be destroyed by an accidental fire.

In short, after spending the last faith point on hand to a fraction of what was left, the forces of the Icourt Valley were composed as follows:

Iroh, a young dragon of unknown race.

Vis and Hilcutt, juvenile black dragons.

Ten earth elements.

Wait a minute......

Elo suddenly looked up at the castle door.

If memory serves, the latest group of visitors to the Icourt Valley, a horde of goblins who appear to have fled, should need to be taken into account as well.

When Hilkat found out about them yesterday, he thought he could add food, but when Iroh found out, he detained all the goblins, and if it hadn't been for the fact that Iroh used a ruby to appease his anger, Vis might have to stay at home with his brother to recuperate today.
