Chapter 226: Power of the Witch Soul

Luoning left the "fishing room" and tossed the sea fish produced by the Magic Array to Kaierluosi, who was waiting outside.

Although this guy was already very sick of this food, he was truly too hungry, so he could only open his mouth and swallow it whole, not caring if it tasted good, only if it would fill his stomach.

Luoning continued to check the remaining few rooms to see if there were any other gains.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

After wandering around for Along time, he had no gains at all; there was nothing, no gold coins, armor, weapons, or anything else.

The only thing that could count as a gain was probably the few pieces of parchment on a stone table in one of the large rooms.

Luoning guessed that this room should belong to Natalia, because as the manager of this underground palace, she was responsible for the custody and sacrificial refining of Kaierluosi.

And the parchment on the stone table happened to record the method for the sacrificial refining of Kaierluosi, as well as the ultimate goal.

According to the description on the parchment, Kaierluosi was brought here by Natalia's master, Ailioute, when it was still a dragon egg.

Natalia had even written down her worship of Ailioute on a piece of parchment—

Lord Ailioute snatched the offspring from the hands of a Legendary dragon; she is the most powerful king in this world, and any person or creature will crawl at the master's feet!

It is hard to say how much truth there is in the words of a fanatic, but if he really snatched a dragon egg from the hands of a dragon, then this Ailioute was definitely a powerhouse.

Back to the content of the parchment.

Ailioute brought the dragon egg here, gathered quite a few subordinates to build this underground palace, and finally arranged for Natalia and a group of men to guard it while being responsible for the sacrificial refining of the dragon egg.

Kaierluosi had also mentioned the method of sacrificial refining.

When Natalia activated the Magic Array in the hall with the so-called "power of the witch soul," that Magic Array would surge with this special Supernatural Energy, eroding the yet-to-hatch dragon egg.

When Kaierluosi broke out of its shell, this power would be planted within its body, and at that time, Natalia would be able to control this power through the Horn of Souls, thereby commanding the dragon.

It did not end at this step; their sacrificial refining of Kaierluosi still had to continue until the black patterns representing the power of the witch soul covered the dragon's entire body and special patterns grew on the Dragon Scale.

At that time, Kaierluosi's body would be thoroughly transformed, its soul would be twisted, and a new dragon creature would appear in this world—a Witch Soul Dragon.

To be honest, Luoning did not quite understand this operation of Ailioute's.

If he really wanted to control a dragon and make it a servant, wouldn't it be enough to just sign a Master-Servant Contract?

He did not believe that someone with the ability to obtain a dragon egg would not know about things like a Contract Scroll.

Could it be that this Ailioute was interested in creating new species?

Unless he met Ailioute himself, Luoning feared that no one could answer this doubt for him.

But after an unknown number of hundreds of years, this person probably no longer existed at all, right?

"My Lord, Ruidar and the others are back."

Aierlong found Luoning, "I heard they wiped out a wild boar den and hunted seven or eight wild boars, two of which were quite large."

"That is a good harvest indeed!"

Luoning smiled and put away the parchment, "How are you recovering?"

"My Lord, do not worry; I only consumed a lot of Magic Power, and I have already recovered quite a bit now."

The two talked as they walked, bringing Kaierluosi outside the cave.

Seeing the dragon with their own eyes, everyone was very shocked.

But when they saw the dragon staring straight at the prey on the ground, they felt that the dragon did not seem so mysterious after all?

"Come on, guys, tonight we will hold a wild boar and sea fish banquet to celebrate the complete success of our operation!"

Luoning said, taking out the remaining few large fish.

The subordinates began to get busy; some were dissecting the prey, some were cleaning the food at a water source not far away, and some had already set up the grill.

To be able to serve a dragon and have dinner with a dragon was simply inconceivable.

That night, Kaierluosi finally ate food other than fish, and it could not help but have mist well up in its dragon eyes.

If it were not for the many people here, and the worry that shedding tears would lower its status, those two dragon tears would have been unable to stop from flowing down.

"Everyone rest well tonight; we will set off on our return journey tomorrow."

After eating and drinking their fill, Luoning stated the next plan.

"Regarding the dragon Kaierluosi, especially the fact that I have conquered it, I hope everyone will not disclose any information to the outside world; this is the top secret of the Wubei Territory!"

Luoning swept his gaze over everyone, "Whoever leaks it will bear the consequences!"

A dragon is a powerful creature that can intimidate hearts, but it is not invincible.

No matter how you put it, Kaierluosi is just a Magic Beast that has just entered Level 6; its advantage lies in its ability to fly and control the airspace.

But to say it is invincible would be too early.

Luoning was able to climb onto Kaierluosi's back and leave it helpless, so who could guarantee that others could not?

What's more, Luoning is not the only one in the Kingdom who possesses a flying mount, and there are also people with stronger strength.

To be fearless of everyone just because of one Level 6 dragon would seem a bit too arrogant.

Perhaps, when Kaierluosi reaches Level 7, 8, or 9, it will possess huge deterrent power.

But whenever Luoning thought of its level progress of over ten thousand, it was destined that he could not invest Energy Essence into Kaierluosi in the early stages.

Therefore, it is not very realistic to cultivate a powerful dragon in a short time.

In fact, for ordinary people, wanting to witness a dragon from hatching to growing to its peak is an almost impossible thing.

The growth period of a dragon is too long, so long that even Sun-level powerhouses cannot afford to wait.

However, it must be admitted that Kaierluosi possesses great potential and extremely rare characteristics.

If people from the outside world knew, there is no guarantee they would not target it, especially certain powerful characters who might even do things like capturing the dragon for research.

Therefore, let's keep the secret of the dragon's existence for as long as possible.

If we drag it out a bit, and the strength of Luoning and the others grows, everything will be easier to handle.

The crowd had originally thought about going back and bragging, but now seeing the Lord's such strict requirements, they could only hide these thoughts in their hearts.

However, they believed that the Lord's dragon would one day appear before the world, and it would not be too late to talk about today's encounter then.

"Heh, they are all people who survived a dragon's breath without dying!"

"My lord, what should we do about this cave?" Ruidar asked.

Luoning frowned slightly; the two Magic Arrays in the cave had great reference and learning value for future Magic research, so this place had to be protected.

Fortunately, the materials used to set up the Magic Arrays would not be easily damaged, and since this was the northern part of the Wubei Territory, it was desolate and uninhabited, and the outer beach had no port for docking, which spared him the trouble of being discovered.

"When we leave tomorrow, we will use Jushi to seal the cave entrance so that the wild beasts in the mountains won't mistake the cave for their lair."

Luoning thought for a moment and said, "Later, you can use this underground palace as a stronghold and arrange for people to come and patrol it regularly."

Luoning planned to wait until the territory's population was sufficient before arranging for a group of people to come here to develop a small fishing village.

For now, there was no need for him to specifically arrange for a group of people to be stationed here.

Development must be done step by step; solving the territory's food problem first is the key. (End of chapter)
