Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Kobold and the Ringing Egg

"What's that? Get out! ”

When Ron was making the magic construct just now, he noticed that there was a weak life reaction in the dense jungle ahead.

Originally, he thought that it might be a first-order magical beast: a horned rabbit or a fire rat or something, but Ron didn't bother to drive them away.

Anyway, he is now in his true state, and he has not released the Transfiguration Technique to shrink his body.

No matter what low-level demonic beast saw this behemoth that was nearly twenty meters long, it would crawl on the ground or turn around and run away.

But this weak creature in the jungle was different, it did not run away after spotting Ron, but came close to dozens of meters, and then stopped there to observe him.

This reaction is either a fool or an intelligent being.

"Shh... Xi..."

The dense branches and leaves were removed, and a 2-meter-tall kobold with metallic skin and covered in blood emerged from the woods.

He knelt on the ground with a 'poof' at Ron.

He stumbled in the awkward dragon language, which the kobolds were born with.

Don't underestimate this weak guy, they are also a kind of dragonborn, with extremely thin dragon blood in their bodies.

"Greetings to you under the crown of the great true dragon, lowly kobold Kerry, your scales are tough as iron, your body is strong enough to smash the gates of the castle, and you are swifter than an eagle in flight......"

It preaches Ron's beauty, but this is nonsense, and the entire astral realm does not know the beauty of the iridescent dragon.

"My eyes can't see clearly in the middle of the night, and I really have no intention of offending you, please forgive me for this sinful and death-deserving act, and I will offer you eternal loyalty."

The kobold begged Ron for mercy again.

Ron looked at the strong, somewhat overly kobold in front of him, and listened to his confession with some impatience.

The main thing is that this guy's dragon language is so ugly that it sounds like noise to him.

It was the first time he had encountered a kobold since descending on the Cullen plane.

There are very few intelligent creatures in the Warcraft Forest around Oracle Town, and this is because the surrounding area has been cleared more than once by passing mercenary groups.

The same is true in other cities.

The Warcraft forests around the human city have basically been plowed countless times, and the powerful Warcraft have long since been killed or driven to other places.

Unlike the other main planes, the human kingdom of the Karen plane is a bit too powerful.

The remaining weak monsters also belong to the stocking mode, after all, the production of high-level weapons and armor requires strategic items such as magic cores...

And once a powerful mutated demonic beast appears around, the teachers of the Oracle Town Magic Academy will form a group to go to the crusade.

It's not a dry meal to bring you in.

Said to be a magic academy, in fact they are the real masters of Oracle Town, and many teachers have not taught a few students in their lives, and are only responsible for military work.

The guards in the city are basically responsible for the security of the city, and they do not have too strong combat capabilities.

————

Looking at the kobold who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in front of him, Ron suddenly thought of Gandalf.

Although the old man swore allegiance to him and Vivien, he still had to guard against him, and this particular kobold might be of good use.

"Stand up, weak kobold, and answer your master's questions, why is your body so different from the average kobold?"

Ron took the kobold as his Nth dependent.

When he went to the Dragon Beast Niang area before, he also took in a few dependents, all of whom were unpalatable scum of the third and fourth order.

These Warcraft dependents are mainly used to provide him with coordinates and find targets, and their bodies have been engraved with a teleportation magic array on Ron's body.

[Goal 3: Visit the city flying in the sky and taste the water of life]

Ron had previously considered taking the route of creating a dragon dependency empire to search for the target three messages.

But compared to intelligent humans, it is no less difficult to get these reckless beasts to go around the world to inquire about the news than to get the kobolds to blow the horn against the true dragon.

In contrast, it is more reliable to snatch the dominance of a human kingdom to find it.

Moreover, most of the royal family has stored many unique books that record history, which are testimonies of real history, rather than rough historical reference books such as the "Karen Encyclopedia".

"Thank you for your forgiveness, your greatness is like the sea.....

"Stop, stop, get to the point!"

Ron had to interrupt the kobold's compliment, and if he was allowed to continue talking, he wouldn't be able to finish it when it was dawn.

Don't underestimate the kobolds' praise for dragons they've accumulated over the years!

"Yes, great true dragon."

The sturdy kobold didn't raise his head, still maintaining a five-body throwing posture and said respectfully.

"In fact, I was born into a [ringing egg]"

"This form has been like this since I was born, and the people around me regarded me as a leader, and when I became an adult, they elected me as their leader, until we were defeated by the drow elves..."

The kobold babbled about his experience, and Ron was already in a pensive state.

Drow elf, he knows.

The elves who dwell in dark dungeons have been expelled from the High Elves.

Interestingly, all the High Elves of this plane have disappeared, leaving only the expelled elves of Snow Elves and Drow Elves still exist.

But this has nothing to do with him.

After hearing the word "ringing egg", Ron began to search for information in the two dragon legacies.

He remembered seeing the name before.

After flipping through it for a while, it finally came out in the corner of memory.

Got it!

Ron clicked on the entry, and a flood of information flooded through his mind:

Because of the dragon's bloodline, kobolds reproduce oviparously, and female kobolds will lay 2-5 eggs at a time when they are pregnant.

Occasionally, a certain kobold will lay an extremely rare egg, which makes a metallic sound when struck with its paws.

The tribe hides these special eggs until they hatch.

The kobolds hatched from these metallic eggs will become the strongest of their generation and the chiefs of the future tribes.

Often, they become brave men who only serve metal dragons or gem dragons, as if this is their destiny.

But kobolds never talk openly about "chirping eggs".

It's a secret that is only euphemistically mentioned even in a well-known kobold folklore, in which a kobold brave man in the service of a certain golden dragon returns and kills all of her relatives and childhood friends.

Some kobolds think this is a good reason to track down and destroy any other kobold's chirping eggs, but these selfish creatures don't think about destroying their own.

Colored dragons who know the chirping eggs will do everything they can to find and destroy them, but they rarely find eggs that are suspicious enough to bother them.

Very few metal dragons admit to caring about mutations in kobolds' reproduction, but that doesn't mean they haven't noticed the situation and found ways to exploit it.

Explanations for the magic behind this phenomenon range from the secret blessings of Bahamut to the curses of ancient archmages.

Ron probably understood the origin of this kobold, and he also met the "legendary species" among kobolds?

The legendary dragon breed collects the "legendary breed" kobold, which seems to be quite a match.

Ron scratched his chin in thought, then flicked his tail and threw a scale in front of the kobold, with a little red blood on it.

This is what he left on purpose.

"Stupid kobold, from now on you can only serve me.

If you let me know that you are shaking your head at the other metal dragons, you will be in for the wrath of a true dragon! ”

The strong kobold hurriedly lowered his head and shouted words like gratitude, eternity, and loyalty.

The ground beneath its face had been pressed into a shallow mark by him.

Ron nodded slightly, kobold's loyalty could be trusted.

It's in their nature to never betray their dragon master.

"Now, I will give you the highest glory!

Pick up my scales, become a powerful dragon-veined kobold, and go find what I need! ”

Ron looked at the kobold in front of him and lifted his body.

Respectfully picked up the bloody dragon scales, and then used his claws to cut a huge wound on his chest, and endured severe pain to graft the dragon scales to his chest.

[Dragon-veined kobold: The kobold makes a service pact with the dragon to symbolize its loyalty by grafting the scales discarded by its owner onto the muscles of its chest. It will gain the power associated with the elemental energy of its master, but give up its individuality and free will. 】

This scale is the best contract, and from now on this kobold will be under Ron's sole control.

After being inlaid with dragon scales, it takes a while for the kobold's body to evolve into a dragon vein kobold.

And Ron didn't have the patience to wait for him to finish his evolution.

He told the kobold about his first mission: to live on this side of Oracle Town, to be careful not to be discovered, and to search for the information Ron needed.

Then Ron turned and walked away.

He was leaving Oracle Town in a few days, and the Dragonvein Kobold was just an idle move, and he didn't expect much.

Before spreading the dragon's wings and taking off, Ron suddenly thought of something, turned to the kobold who was kneeling on the ground, and said.

"By the way, I don't really like your name"

"From now on, you will call..."

Ron paused, thought for a moment, and smiled wickedly.

"You'll be called Hogg from now on."
