Chapter 201: 199 Slumber Awakening_l
After returning to the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Konoheim went straight to the Magic Laboratory to find Moray.
As soon as he got back, Otto ran to the Council Chamber to sleep.
There was no fun in guarding a slumbering Silver Dragon.
Before falling into a deep sleep, Otto didn’t forget to remind Saru to wake him up in case of emergencies.
The sleep time wasn’t that long, only about three days before Otto woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he noticed that his body had grown over a meter longer.
Tatum Hill, which had a portion of Titan’s Power, was quite beneficial.
At a rough estimate, Otto’s total length was now approaching eighteen meters. Ordinary Silver Dragons could only reach this size when they reached the rank of an elder dragon.
And Silver Dragons at the rank of elder dragon would naturally have a power rivaling that of a Legend.
Unfortunately, although Otto’s size met the standard, overall, it seemed he still hadn’t been able to cross that threshold.
However, even so, an ordinary powerhouse just entering the realm of Legend might not necessarily be his match.
There are just too many uncertain factors about Otto.
Now, Otto was focusing on the new abilities he gained from devouring Tatum. Even though he was a Giant, many of his abilities overlapped with what Otto already had.
However, he gained many practical abilities, and one of the most important was immunity to lightning.
After gaining this ability, Otto even felt that Storm Titan Lars Lait was not that terrifying.
Of course, even with immunity to lightning, there’s a certain limit.
Legendary lightning spells, for example, definitely couldn’t be completely immune.
However, after a certain reduction, combined with Otto’s plated defense, there shouldn’t be much lightning damage left that could be truly dealt to him.
Additionally, Otto had also mastered many lightning spells, though they had all been modified to some extent.
But overall, they were still pretty good.
As for other abilities, there was nothing worth mentioning.
Getting up from the Blackstone Platform, Otto stretched lazily and called Saru, inquiring about any unusual occurrences during his sleep.
Since being transformed into a Dragonborn Monster, the old Lizardman seemed to have an endless supply of energy every day, managing every aspect of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
Of course, he hadn’t forgotten to pick some smart and capable young men from the Lizardmen to take over some of the tasks, but in the end, there weren’t many people he could truly trust.
With no other choice, he had to pick some clever guys from among the Quilboar and Bearmen.
At this point, Saru suddenly said, “Your Majesty, Longfang has recently tamed a batch of Raging Wild Boars, and they get along well with the Quilboar. We might soon have a team of boar cavalry in the Soaring Dragon Legion.”
“Boar cavalry?”
Otto blinked, not quite understanding, but quickly realized what was going on after Saru’s explanation.
In Nolan Forest, there were many kinds of wild boars, which could almost be considered a local specialty.
Among them, the largest and strongest were the Raging Wild Boars.
These wild boars were carnivorous beasts that, apart from being herbivores, would also prey on Goblins and other monster races.
At the same time, they were very strong, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of mud and resin, forming a natural heavy armor.
Combining them with the Quilboar would give the Soaring Dragon Legion a
powerful heavy cavalry force.
Even though the name “boar cavalry” sounded a bit off, when it came to their strength, they weren’t much different from the well-trained and well-equipped knights of human kingdoms.
“Not bad, send a reward to Longfang as well!”
Although this Quilboar had once betrayed him, he had always worked diligently for Otto since then.
So Otto had a good impression of Longfang.
Saru nodded, “I think he will be very touched.”
Then, the old Lizardman continued, “Currently, with the joint efforts of the
Burrowing Worms and Kobolds, the tunnel connecting the Sulfur Mountains to Red Copper Castle has been dug through. Now we’re just waiting for the Black Iron Dwarves’ locomotive.”
The term “locomotive” was provided by Otto.
The Burrowing Worms that Konoheim had sent were really useful, with their astonishing speed at digging tunnels.
Although the final result was a bit rough, the Kobolds could easily handle it.
There are abundant mineral resources in the Sulfur Mountains, and even the tracks have been almost laid.
If it weren’t for the recent attack on Red Copper Castle by the Storm Legion, which pulled away many hands, they would probably already be in operation.
“So, have there been any accidents at Red Copper Castle recently?”
“No, since the defeat of the Storm Legion, they haven’t launched another attack on Red Copper Castle, at least not for now.”
At this point, Saru suddenly said, “Yesterday, Dain and Ebik wanted to come and pay their respects to Your Majesty, but since you were asleep at the time, I refused their request.”
At this, Otto nodded, showing that he understood.
Then, Saru continued: “Miss Black Rose from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce has recently come to the Land of the Soaring Dragon again and is now settled in the inner city. She seems to have some matters to discuss with you.”
“Anything else?”
“Princess Sofia said that they have made new progress in the research of the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual, and if you wake up, she asked me to inform her as soon as possible. I think that’s all.”
At Otto’s signal, Saru left the Council Chamber and called Black Rose over for him.
The last few times he met her, this woman who liked to wear black tight clothes seemed to always come alone.
As soon as they met, Black Rose respectfully knelt in front of Otto, “I offer you the highest respect, great Silver Dragon Lord.”
“Tell me, what is it this time…”
Otto looked at her unhappily, guessing that it was probably about the new King Lait.
As expected, Black Rose said, “Recently, the Duchy of Mido’s movement against
King Lait is getting bigger. Our spies have found a large number of Dwarf-made weapons and equipment on their soldiers, and I don’t know…”
“Ah, it’s my sponsorship!”
Without any hesitation, Otto admitted it, which surprised Black Rose and also made her sigh.
You see, not long ago, the Land of the Soaring Dragon relied on the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to transport ordinary ironware.
In such a short time, this place has become a production base for top-tier weapons and equipment….
