Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

"Why are there no humans?"

A human youth with an immature look on his face was wearing a simple and elegant plain white robe. He was holding the book he had just borrowed in his arms. Looking at the majestic and sacred dragon entrenched on the top of the Mother Tree of Life, he couldn't help but turn his head to The companion next to him asked.

He saw flying dragons, giants, and even ugly monsters with six arms and snake tails. These monsters had all undergone a transformation under the gift of that powerful dragon.

Even if he is not a scholar in this field, he can still see that the transformation of these monsters is extremely amazing. It can be said that they have changed from one species to another species with a higher life level.

He could also see that for the monsters who accepted these gifts, this was a supreme honor, so he was a little curious, why were there no humans among them?

"Why humans?"

Upon hearing the young man's question, his friend was stunned and did not react for a while.

"Why shouldn't there be humans? Aren't we also subjects of dragons?"

The young man was even more confused. According to the history courses he studied, the world he lived in suffered a huge disaster that swept the entire world not long ago before he was born.

When the world fell into despair, dragons came from other worlds and saved the world, and their ancestors and ancestors were the survivors selected by the dragons and saved.

Therefore, according to the courses taught by the elves, humans are also creatures ruled by dragons. If this is the case, why can no humans obtain the gifts of dragons? This doesn’t make sense. Are humans worse than other races?

"...Maybe it's because we humans are too weak?"

The young man's words made his friend speechless for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time before coming up with a possibility.

"Maybe it's really too weak!"

The words of his friend immediately caused the young man to fall into deep thought, and then his eyes were fixed on the dragon-blooded family member who successfully accepted the gift of true blood, and finally he looked at the elven elders who were obedient in front of the dragon.

He has never seen these elven elders look like this. As a human scholar, he has almost no chance to come into contact with these elven elders. When he meets them occasionally, he can only look up at these elves and feel the immortality emanating from his bones. Arrogance and humility.

"Tell me, how can we get a deeper breathing method?"

The young man suddenly spoke again and asked his friend.

"What do you want to do?"

The young man's companion was startled by him, and he looked around nervously. After realizing that no one was paying attention to them, they immediately approached the young man, lowered their voices and said nervously,

"You must not mess around. We short-lived species cannot bear the responsibility of stealing the elf library."

All human breathing methods and meditation methods come from elves, but almost most people can only obtain the most superficial cultivation methods, and only a handful of extremely talented and outstanding people can obtain higher-level cultivation methods. They can only be selected and awarded by the elves, and humans themselves have no right to fight for them.

It’s not that there aren’t some daring humans who steal breathing techniques, but that human’s fate makes all humans shudder.

The elves do not have the death penalty, and their punishment is very mild for their fellow immortals. They are only imprisoned for sixty years.

But what is the difference between such a period of imprisonment and the death penalty for humans? It is even more uncomfortable than the death penalty. You can only stay in a cell without seeing the light of day for the rest of your life. You can eat, drink, and have sex in a small space with no freedom. There is not even a chance of commutation.

"But we need more profound breathing techniques. These low-level breathing techniques are too crude to allow us to stand in front of the dragon."

Hearing the nervous words of his companion, the young man also glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice, but there was not much nervousness in his voice, but contained unprecedented determination and a trace of excitement.

"Why should we stand in front of the dragon?"

The companion looked at the young man with an incomprehensible look, not understanding why his friend had such unusual and even deviant ideas.

"Aren't you paying attention in class? Our world is a world ruled by dragons. Even the elves must surrender before the dragons. If we want to gain a higher status, we must gain the approval of the dragons. .

But look, even monsters who have not received the gift can kill us easily. To them, we are no different than the rats in the ditch.

We can't go on like this. We humans need power, more powerful power, so we need deeper breathing methods. This is not only related to our destiny, but also to the destiny of us humans. We must not be under the rule of dragons. The bottom occupies the bottom position, and we have to stand higher. "

The young man's eyes were bright and fiery. He felt that he had found the direction of life and the goal of struggle. He was no longer confused about his future. Even if the future he chose was full of difficulties and obstacles, and even the danger of death, he was willing to Die for this.

"You're crazy!"

After hearing what his friend said, his companion was completely stunned and looked at his friend who looked familiar but was extremely strange with a strange look.

"I'm mad?"

Hearing his friend's evaluation of him, the young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head firmly.

"No, I'm not crazy. I'm even more awake than ever before. I, as well as humans, must master the power and master the power of no longer having to be looked down upon by elves."

"Rupert, you still haven't forgotten her, but it's impossible between you."

After hearing what the young man said, his friend immediately realized what was going on and looked at the young man with sympathetic eyes.

In the first tree city ruled by elves, there is a taboo rule that is not written in writing but is well known to all humans.

It is forbidden for long-lived and short-lived species to fall in love and combine.

The First Tree City has only one kind of long-lived species and only one short-lived species. In other words, humans and elves are forbidden to fall in love.

The reason for the ban is also very clear, that is, the life lengths of long-lived species and short-lived species are not consistent.

Although the love and acquaintance between the two will bring short-term happiness, the person with a short life will bring endless pain to the person with a longer life after passing away.

In order to prevent this kind of pain from happening to their own kind, the elves forbid humans from falling in love with their own kind.

This is a reason that any rational creature cannot blame, but even if it is a rule that all elves and humans know, there will still be people who cross the red line and violate the taboo.

His companion Rupert is one of the few humans who violates taboos despite knowing all the consequences.

He fell in love with a wood elf. As a friend, he was the first to know about it. After suffering and struggling for a long time, he chose to turn a blind eye and even cover for him.

However, the expressions and actions of people in love sometimes cannot be concealed at all. Sometimes because they are too selfless and devoted, they may even be unscrupulous and act as if no one is around, and the matter will eventually be revealed.

Then he saw what kind of pressure this friend who violated the taboo was under during that period. First he was suspended from school, and then he faced the threat of being kicked out of the city.

Then the family and friends of the wood elf girl took turns to use coercion and inducement, and used various methods to force his friend Rupert to voluntarily give up this relationship that was destined to be fruitless.

His friend Rupert had been struggling to hold on, but in the end, under the words of the elf girl's mother, he gave up and chose to end this relationship that was destined to have no good results from the beginning.

He didn't know what the elf girl's mother said to her friend that night, but he guessed it was some kind of humiliation, because after class resumed, his friend became more serious than ever before, as if he had endless energy. He studied day and night, even across multiple subjects, but he knew how much Rupert had to pay for such dazzling results.

"This has nothing to do with Corina."

Although he said so, the young man's fists were still clenched unconsciously. He would never forget what his elf girlfriend's mother said to him, and her lofty gaze, as if looking at an insect.

Through his studies, he realized that the reason for this situation was ultimately due to the inequality between elves and humans.

In the final analysis, this inequality is an inequality of power. The elves in any tree city have the power to clean up the surrounding humans. This is the fundamental reason why they can look down on humans with a superior attitude.

Without equal power to the elves, there is no qualification to negotiate terms with the elves as equals.

"Robert, think about your family. Don't be impulsive. Don't think about dragons anymore. That's a height that we humans can't reach. We are a naturally weak race. All of this is determined by the gods. And we What can be done?"

The good friend advised him kindly.

"I'm not impulsive. I just feel that we humans shouldn't be in our current position. We are indeed weak, but that doesn't mean we have to remain weak and stay in the worst position forever."

"I can't persuade you anymore, but you must not do anything illegal or criminal."

"Of course."

"I'll keep an eye on you."

"up to you."

The young man didn't care, he already had a vague plan in his mind.

But there is still the biggest obstacle to his plan, that is, how to get close to the dragon?

This is the hardest question.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Tyrell's mouth curved back as he finished giving blood to the last naga.

He was in a very happy mood at this moment, not only because the size of his retinue had further expanded, but more importantly because his purpose of unabashedly holding the blood-giving ceremony in the First Tree City had been achieved.

As immortal species, most of the elves, except for the newborns born after migrating here, have seen him and know what position they are in when facing him and what attitude they should take to meet him.

Half a century is not a short period of time for the Immortals, but it is not long enough for them to forget the Dragon Clan that brought them to the new world.

But it's different for humans. There are almost not many humans left who have seen him under the half-dry and half-prosperous tree of life. Nowadays, the humans who study and live in the tree city hardly know him, and maybe they have heard of him. legend, but it may be difficult to connect the legend with him at this moment.

However, as he performed the blood-giving ceremony, and with the creatures that completed their life transformation and jumped to a higher level of life under his gift, the humans in this tree city must have a new understanding of him. Know.

He could feel the emotions contained in the eyes cast from all directions as the ceremony progressed, including timidity, panic, fear, admiration, adoration, as well as desire and yearning...

No one would want to have the power to change their destiny, especially when this power is revealed in front of them.

Tyrell could imagine how crazy these humans who had seen him give blood today would be when they saw a promotion path to become a dragonborn in front of them.

Just like the original ocean giant, then the centaur, and finally the Naga. Although the conditions for obtaining the gift of true blood are extremely harsh, and the lower the starting point, the more cruel the race, but because of this, the attraction is stronger. .

The ratio of ocean giants becoming dragonborn is almost fifteen to one, and centaurs are one in ten thousand. As for Naga, there is no data yet, but it is estimated to be in three digits. Humans, who are short-lived species like centaurs, may be even more The disparity reaches an extremely shocking proportion.

However, as long as someone can succeed and prove the feasibility of humans becoming descendants of ancestral dragons, Diriel can foresee that his dragon army will take shape and expand at an astonishing speed.

In terms of reproductive capacity, except for several notorious low-level monster races in the world, humans can be said to have few opponents.

Monster races with stronger reproductive capabilities than humans will only end up being slaughtered in droves when faced with the special individuals born from the human race.

As for races that are born with a higher starting point, but whose reproductive capacity is weakened by the rules of balance, it is quite good to be able to obtain equal status in the face of the human forces that have developed civilization, and the worse ones may even be reduced to vassals.

Human beings are a race with excellent comprehensive data in all aspects. After they breed a huge base, under the right environment, they will inevitably breed special individuals that can reach the upper limit of the environment.

Tyrell's goal is these outstanding human beings, giving them dragon blood, allowing them to become his dependents and fight for him.
