It ate a hefty fish weighing over ten pounds, then slept for an entire day and night, waking up to leave a large pile.
This was Duncan’s first alien human form.
Fortunately, Duncan’s first human form was a human; otherwise, he would have started off as a reptile.
Currently, Duncan’s territory is in a peaceful development stage, and the Saxon pirates have temporarily not invaded. They’re busy fighting the Picts and, incidentally, also declared war on King Uther. Perhaps because Duncan’s reputation has recently become too illustrious, King Uther wishes to gain fame on the battlefield, thus he led the Sarmatian knights under the Dragon Head Banner to counterattack the Eastern Saxon Chieftain Kingdom, eventually getting struck by an axe on the battlefield. The extent of his injury remains unknown.
It’s certain that he didn’t die. King Uther actually won, a minor victory, though he sustained some injuries himself.
The Kingdom of Camelot retook Stafford, though they suffered a slight loss near Cheshire. Overall, it can be considered territory reclaimed. With the legendary wizard Merlin guarding him, King Uther is unlikely to die suddenly, unlike the case of the Duke of Dingtiger. Such an event is unlikely to happen to a monarch with a powerful wizard by his side.
For now, Duncan is rather relaxed, training soldiers daily and properly training the recruited riders. He already has one hundred and twenty riders under his command, but most are light cavalry.
Within the entire territory, whether Anya, Triss, or Severus, everyone is incredibly busy.
Everyone assumes Duncan’s education level is not high, and he’s not very adept at internal affairs, so they handle the specific matters and even take the initiative to recruit talents on their own. The Crow Queen, Triss, is responsible for maintaining the polytheistic faith, avoiding faith conflicts that could lead to public order problems. Anya focuses on economic production, preparing to rebuild the market district, and incidentally, elevate the fishing industry.
Severus is really impressive!
He is a Druid, and it’s widely known that Druids aren’t farmers, otherwise, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Severus is responsible for overseeing the agricultural sector. Anya dislikes farming, viewing it as something for lower-class people, so she dispatched a former farm overseer to help. In addition to responsibility for agriculture, Severus has to communicate with the indigenous tribes and help them resume agricultural production while also finding a piece of land for Duncan to keep his horses because Duncan mentioned needing a cavalry force in the future.
He’s indeed busy, so busy his feet don’t touch the ground, and he’s rarely seen during the day.
But surprisingly, when Duncan saw him again, Severus’s mark had already changed.
——Severus (Druid) (Avalon) (Legendary) [Two-star Gold].
He became a heroic unit.
Perhaps it was because Mist-covered Avalon had backed Duncan, and during this time, Celtic legends have been reviving in the secular world, greatly influencing the indigenous Britons, so Severus also rose with the tide, even meeting the legendary Lake Fairy.
However, there is still one who hasn’t changed, and that is Anya, who thinks of nothing but galloping on horseback every day, still at the level of a two-star whiteboard.
Thus, time calmly entered a buffering phase, and Duncan was also improving himself, learning knowledge under the guidance of the library manager.
A day passed quickly.
The next day, he almost logged in right on time, entering the Dimension Space only to see the juvenile dragon had left another large pile.
A juvenile dragon has only one hosting mode—Dragon Memory Inheritance.
Duncan rarely allows his consciousness to enter the second human form because crawling is uncomfortable, and he has to control the wings and tail. The projection page from a god’s-eye perspective suits him better for controlling the alien human form.
——"I should find some stones to eat." (Dragon Memory Inheritance).
No question about it.
Keep digging open the ice cave.
This place is cold enough to freeze quickly, but the juvenile dragon doesn’t care, completely ignoring the cold.
"Feels like my appearance has changed a bit, the dragon scales are somewhat ice-blue."
Yesterday, the juvenile dragon was semi-transparent white; today, it’s close to a pale ice blue, but mostly still looks like a white dragon. It seems the body has not fully developed. Biological juveniles are quite cute, and the juvenile dragon doesn’t seem as ferocious, weighing just over thirty pounds, similar to a small dog. After eating, it probably gained a few more pounds.
"Eating stones? For trace elements?"
Duncan controlled the juvenile dragon to dig open the ice cave and dive to the bottom of the water, increasing the energy bar by about a third. The growth rate of the dragon is astonishing as this energy bar and life bar already exceed that of an average adult male.
——It’s this one, eat it.
At the lake bottom, for every pebble it found, the juvenile dragon would sniff it. It could breathe underwater; the Dragon Memory Inheritance would tell it whether it could eat it. Finally, it ate a small stone with a blue surface and a brownish-yellow small stone.
——This should be enough.
——Time to catch some fish.
The juvenile dragon nearly choked on the stones, swallowing them down forcefully, and then cheerfully caught fish, bumping into the thick ice layer when nearing the surface.
——Don’t go up, it’s dangerous up there; the juvenile dragon is too weak.
Duncan controlled the second human form to eat a bellyful of fish and found that as the energy bar increased, the juvenile dragon’s active time also increased.
——You should now hibernate, waiting to grow further.
The Dragon Memory prompts surfaced.
But Duncan saw that the juvenile dragon’s energy bar was still plentiful, so he decided to observe the surroundings.
——You shouldn’t go out on an adventure now.
——Oh, another curious little guy who loves adventure.
——Well, good luck to you!
Three prompts from the Dragon Memory Inheritance appeared in quick succession, seeming a bit anxious, then completely vanished.
Apparently, some dragons aren’t very obedient to the Dragon Memory Inheritance.
Little claws scratching frantically!
A tender dragon head poked through the ice surface, creating a hole, curiously observing the surroundings.
Everything was shrouded in frost, as if in the glacial epoch of ancient times!
Finally, Duncan could open the strategic map.
A vast frozen lake, the ice layer’s thickness on the surface approached a meter. In the distance, snow-capped mountains towering into the sky could be seen, stretching beyond sight.
A waterfall was frozen mid-fall, and the ice columns on both sides stretched nearly a hundred meters.
Everything was a white expanse.
Raising to a god’s-eye view showed the primeval forest amid winter, where the trees were incredibly tall, with those at the outskirts towering tens of meters high, each an ancient colossus likely over centuries old.
"It’s truly the barbaric era!"
The ice surface quivered slightly.
Duncan switched perspectives, pupils narrowing as he saw a group of giants walking from the direction of the waterfall.
——King of Frost River Giants! [Golden Skull Mark][Hostile].
——Prehistoric Mammoth [Three-star Whiteboard].
——Frost Giant Migratory Tribe [Three-Star Gold][Legendary Army][Hostile].
So fierce right from the start?
The juvenile dragon’s head instantly retracted; the world on the ice was too frightening!
——It’s a giant, you’d better be careful.
Duncan didn’t dare to act rashly. The giant migratory tribe had dozens of members, along with several mammoths, any of which could easily crush him. Ordinary giants were four or five meters tall, male warriors could exceed five meters, and the King of Giants was nearly seven meters tall. Just looking from afar was overwhelming.
It’s not easy being a giant dragon either.
Duncan submerged back to the lake bottom, tracking the target from a god’s-eye view, quickly discovering a hostile marked unit.
——Prehistoric Cannibal Fish (One-Star).
Duncan looked at the juvenile dragon’s sharp claws and teeth, thinking it could give it a try. After all, it’s a dragon; it couldn’t possibly lose to a mere cannibal fish.
But getting close, the pressure was not insignificant.
This fish actually weighed nearly a hundred pounds! Original content can be found at novel⚑fire.net
It soon discovered the juvenile dragon’s trace, and upon seeing it, was startled, seeing a contour of fear etched in its genetic instinct, and instinctively wanted to flee.
Then, it noticed that this dragon seemed a bit small.
This time the advantage is mine!
The prehistoric cannibal fish opened its blood-red maw and rushed forward.
——Be careful! Use underwater roll.
A prompt from the dragon’s memory inheritance emerged again.
Duncan controlled the juvenile dragon to dodge in an instant, and with a graceful movement, the dragon instinctively rolled in water. The force from the dragon’s wings allowed it to evade the attack easily, much like a fighter jet spinning underwater.
In a split second, a claw strike mark appeared, and Duncan’s mind followed.
Blood spurted; the scales of the prehistoric cannibal fish were easily torn, as if they were mere papier-mâché.
The outcome was clear.
The prehistoric cannibal fish instinctively felt fear, but still opened its mouth, a cold breath spraying out, making a small circle of water seem to turn to ice shards.
"Detected Wind of Magic!"
The juvenile dragon’s silhouette advanced rapidly, and its wings accelerated its swimming even underwater, bursting forward like an arrow, breaking through the icy shard area; the frigid breath couldn’t harm it at all. It was the true master of frost power in this era!
It was as if the primeval instincts of the ancient dragon were at play, instantly annihilating the cannibal fish more than twice its size.
A cold aura was absorbed by the juvenile dragon’s heart.
——Dragon Roar: Frost[Activate].
The juvenile dragon dragged the massive cannibal fish back to the ice cave; it couldn’t move this giant thing, so it nibbled at it a bit under the ice cave.
——Well done, little one.
——Seems like another combative alien dragon.
——Proceed to the next stage of dragon awakening.
The dragon’s memory inheritance began to constantly provide prompts, and in the next second, a faint, invisible glow appeared within the juvenile dragon, much like unlocking a genetic lock, in its hatchling stage, just the second day after breaking the shell. The invisible wind of magic surged through its entire body, with its faint ice-blue scales showing a ripple of light.
"Activate dragon heritage talent!"
"Unlock genetic lock!"
"First Stage, Dragon’s Bloodline [Mana Surge]!"
In the ice cave, the juvenile dragon had a full meal.
As it gradually entered slumber, with each breath, the invisible wind of magic flowed into its body, the exhale forming a frost wind in front of it.
——"Dragon’s Bloodline (Stage One)[Special Ability]: The innate strong talents of the giant dragon have begun to awaken; the dragon is the embodiment of magic, manipulating it as easily as breathing. Activates basic dragon language dragon roar, further evolving into a magic life form, physical traits slowly improving over time, unlocking the next stage of the dragon heritage memory, enhancing overall immunity capabilities, slightly increasing natural resistance to supernatural forces, and slightly raising the mana cap."
Giants really are a species with cheat-like abilities.
Within the Dimension Space.
Duncan suddenly had a thought and attempted the god’s-eye view ability.
——"Do you wish to engrave [Dragon’s Bloodline] (One-Star)?!"
——"Engraving requires consuming 5 points of Legendary Level. The engraved bloodline ability will be imported into the Dimension Space and can be loaded into other human forms." (Note: Partial ability conversion, strengthening of giant dragon scale armor type converted to inherent skin reinforcement of human-like forms, life forms with scale armor inherit a small portion of hatchling stage dragon scale characteristics.)
It can indeed be done!
Doesn’t that mean the abilities of the number one human form can be engraved and loaded into the number two human form, and the special abilities mastered by the giant dragon can also rebound to the first human form?
Why consume so much Legendary Level?
Master-level combat skills only require a single Legendary Level point, yet engraving the most basic Dragon’s Bloodline requires the consumption of five Legendary Level points.
Duncan looked at the currency in the Dimension Space—Legendary Level: 3/7.
Where else are there enemies with Legendary Level?
I’m very anxious, extremely anxious!
