98. Dragon's Tooth City Sighting
Dragon's Tooth City was built at the confluence of two valleys, with the highest mountain range, Dragon's Tooth Tower, serving as the royal palace of the Red Dragon family and the seat of royal shrines.
On the mountainside is the residence of the vassals, marquises and counts of the palace, and further down is the residence of the knights, and on the plain where the valleys meet, a huge area surrounded by a white stone wall more than 40 meters high, is the living space of the demonsless.
One of the two valleys of Dragon's Tooth City is north-south, the other is southwest, and the north-facing valley is less than 20 kilometers away from the core of Dragon's Tooth City, which is the ancestral land of the Red Dragon Family, "Red Dragon Rock", which is rumored to have been the place where the Red Dragon God's Deathwing ascended to the gods, and both the Red Dragon Family and the Blue Dragon Family have the blood of the Red Dragon God.
Blue Dragon City is located 10 kilometers south of Dragon Tooth City, the Blue Dragon Family is the Red Dragon Family that has not inherited the throne, nor has it become a legendary royal remnant of the lineage, in addition to the Duke of Blue Dragon City, there are many marquis and earl cities in the Dragon Kingdom.
Compared to the Red Dragon Family's pursuit of maintaining dominance through marriage, the Blue Dragon Family is more back to basics, they pursue intermarriage with various pure-blooded dragon descendants, so that the Blue Dragon Family and the dragon's blood are getting closer and closer, the dragon god is not an ordinary beast god, the pure-blooded dragon descendants will not only be closer to the dragon in appearance, but also have more powerful strength and magic, and can even control dragon magic.
A high mountain 10 kilometers southwest of Dragon's Tooth City is the settlement of the Wyvern family, the Wyvern's Nest.
Each generation of the Wyvern family has had powerful dragon mages born, so the Wyvern Lair, a city of more than 40,000 people, is also home to the tallest mage tower in the Dragon Kingdom, the Wyvern Pillar, and the best magic academy.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and suddenly there was a gust of wind in the sky, and then there was a roar of "ho-ho".
Looking at the sky, a pterosaur passed through the sky, this dragon was more than 10 meters long (not counting the tail), with a wingspan of more than 30 meters, a huge head with a cluster of blue-green flesh crowns, a slender neck with blue and black fluff extending to the body, and a short tail between its huge feet.
The huge pterosaur passed through the streets of Rand at a very low altitude, and when it was far away, a man could be seen lying on its wide back.
"That's the Pterodactyl Dragoons, my lord," the receptionist introduced, "This is the only view in and around Dragon's Tooth City, and they are the royal guards carefully selected by His Majesty. ”
"It's spectacular, those pterodactyls are all demonic beasts?"
"Yes, it is said that those pterodactyls are at least low-level magical beasts."
The carriage walked slowly along the main road, and the teleportation hall of Dragon's Tooth City was located in the city below the mountain, making it convenient for goods and personnel to travel to the surrounding Blue Dragon City, Red Dragon Rock, and Wyvern Lair.
Of course, those who can enter and exit the teleportation hall are naturally rich and small and medium-sized nobles, and the mansions of the big nobles have their own private portals.
Dragon's Tooth City is a veritable mountain city in the eyes of Rand, the main area of the city is on the mountain, in addition to the Dragon's Tooth Terrace where the palace is located, there are some hills less than 100 meters, which are also occupied by various mansion courtyards.
According to Ben Kaul, the traditional theory of magic is that the height difference can bring about the concentration of magical elements, so the entire intelligent race of Alivia likes to inhabit the mountains or woods, and use the natural height difference to enrich the magical elements.
However, Rand has been wandering the plains since he was born and knighted, and has only been to the ruins of Qicheng overnight, and has never seen how to use the height difference to adjust the concentration of mana.
Although Antrechi Blue Dragon is a member of the Blue Dragon family, he usually lives in the Chamber of Commerce in Dragon Tooth City, and the carriage drove towards the Dragon Tooth Terrace Mountain, and one walked more than halfway up the mountain, passing through many mansions and mansions, and Rand felt that he was about to reach the palace, so he stopped.
The carriage drove into the high-walled compound, at the entrance of which stood two towering pillars, and after entering the courtyard, the most obvious building was a tower no less than 100 meters behind the main building.
On the way, Rand found several mansions with such tall towers, the top of which was a platform, and the body of the tower was thick and high.
Rand got out of the carriage and was attracted by the tower, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't understand why it was built like this.
"That's to stop the dragons passing or coming," Antrech said with a smile as he stepped out of the main building and saw Rand.
"The great nobles of the dragon kingdom are usually descendants of a legendary dragon, so these families will build a dragon station in the courtyard to facilitate the stay and rest of the dragon of their father's lineage."
It is said that dragons are born to know, and each dragon has a very high wisdom and magical talent after birth, and the concentration of magic in the body is comparable to that of legends and gods, so living by the dragon's side for a long time, and receiving the dragon's blessing will be rich in the dragon's unique magic, which is passed down through the bloodline to the dragon's family.
The so-called concentration of dragon blood is the concentration of dragon magic in the dragonborn, and the higher the concentration, the greater the change in the body.
"This is where you live?"
"Where can I have such a courtyard in such a core area of Dragon Tooth City, this was originally the main residential area of the Blue Dragon Family in Dragon Tooth City, and occasionally His Excellency McLaren would come here to rest, and now the family's more important matters in Dragon Tooth City will be discussed here."
"Oh, no wonder there's a dragon station here"
"Your Excellency McLaren is very happy to learn of your agreement with the Blue Dragon Family, let me find a time to bring you to meet him." Antrechi led Rand inward
"Lord Viscount, please"
Entering the gate is followed by a large rotunda with a translucent dragon head above a tall stone pillar facing the outer door.
It was a huge lizard-like face, which looked more like a translucent empty shell, and the magic and coercion of this dragon's brain shell that were constantly transmitted outward made Rand feel frightened when he first entered.
"This is the shell of a father of our Blue Dragon Family, which was asked by His Excellency McLaren to be used as the eye of the entire architectural circle."
The main building is 6 floors, each floor is 10 meters high, climbing a staircase can be exhausting to death, fortunately there is a magic ladder in the building, the shape is similar to the old-fashioned elevator, and the method of entry is similar to the elevator, which is said to be driven by magic.
Antrechi led Rand to the 6th floor, and just after exiting the magic ladder, an old man in a black robe walked up, the old man was very kind and walked quite lightly.
When Antrechi saw the old man, he immediately leaned over and said hello, "Your Excellency"
Rand has been in this world for so long, and he knows that he can be called Your Excellency here, and he is also a legend, so he hurried to say hello.
"You're the Rand Galloping Horse?" The old man smiled when he asked, and he didn't seem hostile
"Yes, Your Excellency," Rand hurriedly said yes, not daring to look at the old man.
"It's really polite, young people are really good now," he ignored the two and left.
