A circle of snow exploded, forming a small wave of snow. At the same time, the body of the little dragon was completely exposed.
"It's time for you to collect taxes for the Queen."
Ijeona reminded me again happily.
The Red Dragon Lady gave Saga the same task some time ago, to collect taxes.
The Red Dragon Queen's activity range is mainly near Yakan Volcano, but now the entire Thorn Island is actually the Red Dragon Queen's territory. On the Thorn Island, the Red Dragon Queen is the uncrowned king, and no force can rival the Ember Nest.
After the Island of Thorns was occupied by the Red Dragon Queen, many intelligent natives fled here.
But some choose to stay.
It makes no difference to these creatures whether Thorn Island belongs to the noble lord of Rosen Kingdom or it is an evil dragon.
It is completely reasonable to stay in the territory of the Red Dragon Lady and live under the protection of the Red Dragon Lady. In return, a certain amount of tax will be paid to the Red Dragon Lady every year to thank the Red Flame Queen for her protection.
In the winter, it's time to pay your taxes.
Using five gold coins as commission, the Red Dragon Lady gave Saga a task.
Collect taxes from the four intelligent creature clans in Thorn Island.
The total land of Thorn Island is about 200,000 square kilometers. It was originally the third largest island in the Four Rings occupied by the Rosen Kingdom. After it was occupied by the Red Dragon Girl, the people of the Rosen Kingdom basically evacuated, but there are still many people living there.
All races of intelligent creatures need to pay taxes to the Red Dragon Lady, most of which are handled by the Red Dragon Lady's dependents, and Saga is responsible for only a very small part of them.
The little dragon, who didn't have much property, valued every gold coin, so naturally he happily accepted the task.
It's just a little protection fee, isn't it enough to take action on your own?
Saga thought so.
"The Queen has told you that for training purposes, your mission can only be completed by you alone."
"Your Highness Saga, I will not follow you."
The sound of snake scales rubbing against the treetops was heard, and along with a burst of fire that ignited out of thin air, Ijeona disappeared from Saga's sight.
"The lair of the undead, the human town, the bat banshee territory, the troll clan..."
"Let's go to the lair of the undead first."
The little dragon waved its dragon wings, passing through the frost-covered winter woods, tearing through the flying snow in the sky, and flew towards the undead lair located in the swamp of Thorn Island.
There was heavy snow and strong wind, and Saga's dragon wings caused violent friction with the air during the waving, making a hunting sound.
Facing the wind and snow, Saga lowered his head and looked down.
Looking down at the earth from a condescending perspective, Saga saw the forest covered with frost. The surface of the river on the island was also covered with a layer of ice crystals. It was covered in silver, cold and quiet, and wild animals were rarely seen.
traces of.
In winter, especially when there is heavy snowfall, most beasts and magical creatures will choose to live in their lairs to temporarily avoid the cold winter.
At this time, Saga turned his head and glanced at Yakan Volcano.
The towering Yacan volcano is very eye-catching and looks out of place with the surrounding silvery frost environment.
On the mountain thousands of meters high, not even a trace of snow can be seen. Not only on the mountain, but also on the surface of the area around the Yacan volcano, there is no trace of snow left.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky fell towards the Yacan volcano, but before they touched the mountain, they seemed to encounter some kind of invisible barrier, melting into water in mid-air, and the water evaporated into the air.
The special scene here in Yakan Volcano is related to the red dragon goddess.
All dragons have the ability to influence and transform the surrounding terrain.
After an adult true dragon builds its own nest, the environment around the nest will be affected by the radiation of the true dragon's breath and become the most suitable environment for the true dragon to live. The older the true dragon, the more powerful it becomes.
The radiation ability it possesses is more powerful.
for example.
There will be clusters of ice crystals surrounding the white dragon's lair.
The green dragon's lair breeds vines and green forests.
This ability is generally called the true dragon domain. In the true dragon domain, the dragon's various abilities will be partially improved. Once experienced adventurers step into the true dragon domain, they will immediately realize that there is a dragon nest located there.
in.
As a red dragon, the temperature near the dragon's nest of the Red Dragon Girl will rise, the earth will crack and become black, and magma will flow out from between the cracks.
Around the ancient red dragon's lair, there will even be an energy vortex connected to the fire elemental plane. Fire elemental beings from other planes will often choose to follow the ancient red dragon and become the guardian of the dragon's nest.
The Red Dragon Girl doesn't like cold environments the most.
Therefore, even in the winter when the sky is full of snow, under the influence of the power of the Red Dragon Girl, the area around the Yakan volcano still maintains a special dry and hot environment.
Saga has red dragon blood.
However, because of his alien body, he does not hate cold environments like Matchmaker, and he has no aversion to winter. Instead, he feels that the world covered in snow and frost has a unique scenery.
In the biting wind, the body of the young dragon flew through the frosty dense forest, flew away from the low hills, crossed the frozen river, and flew towards the north.
Although the flight speed is affected to a certain extent in windy and snowy weather.
But it only took Saga a short time to reach the northern edge of Thorn Island, an area near the Whirlpool Sea.
Rumble.
Saga heard the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, rolling and boiling.
Looking into the distance in the air.
The endless blue ocean came into view, with turbulent waves emerging layer by layer, and crystal clear water splashing everywhere. Due to the strong wind, the waves even rolled up several feet high, and the sea surface within the field of vision was like boiling water.
Generally manic.
Turn your eyes away.
Saga looked at the area still some distance away from the coast.
A lifeless dilapidated ruin in a snow-covered winter world, full of broken walls and dilapidated buildings. You can vaguely see the withered bones scattered under the black snow.
Above the ruins, there was a gray-black aura of death.
Ordinary creatures cannot see it, but as a true dragon, a top magical creature, Saga can see those death auras.
The snowflakes falling from the sky passed through the aura of death and were eroded by the aura of death. When they fell on the ground, they turned into a black and gray color, covering the ruins with an ominous color. The ground was full of lifelessness.
This is how the black snow comes about.
Lair of the Undead.
Residents of the Isle of Thorns sometimes refer to it as the Ruins of the Undead.
The ruins of the undead were born five hundred years ago.
Five hundred years ago, a spellcaster who was proficient in the necromancy school came to Thorn Island and secretly set up a dark laboratory to capture the residents of the Rosen Kingdom on Thorn Island to conduct evil human experiments and explore the mysteries of flesh and soul.
The study of necromancy led to the creation of the ruins of the undead.
Necromancers are one of the eight schools of spellcasters, and they are also the most notorious.
On the planet Saka, there is an undead joke that actually happened to a team of adventurers.
Warrior: "My wife and children were killed by the devil. I want to seek revenge from the devil!"
Priest: "My Holy Light will guide your path."
Knight: "My heavy sword will cut away your confusion."
Ranger: "My arrows will shoot into the darkness for you."
Necromancer: "The fresh corpses of your wife and daughter will fight alongside you to protect you from harm."
