Chapter 594: Shadow Flame Dragon's Provocation

The end of Dragon Calendar 5586 soon came to an end. The destruction of the Molten Duchy made mankind realize the seriousness of the crisis.

Thunder stations and magic-seeking towers have been quickly established in ten human kingdoms in the ancient land of thorns, and continue to spread to human kingdoms in other lands.

One after another, thunder spread across the boundless snowfields, connecting humans together through communication.

Demon-seeking towers closely monitor the traces of frost and snow trolls - frost trolls and snow trolls are collectively referred to as frost and snow trolls by humans.

also.

In countries not far away, the dragons cooperate with each other and build scale towers in each other's countries to provide support at any time. Unfortunately, it can only relieve the pressure brought by the frost and snow trolls, but cannot substantially change the situation in the snowfield.

Humans are still being suppressed and beaten by the frost and snow trolls.

Just as the Dark Age was oppressed by the Snow Demon, the Warm Age was oppressed by the Snow Giant. Now, it has been replaced by the more powerful and cunning Frost Snow Troll.

Woohoo!

The whistle of the train sounded in the volcanic oasis, and the first railway had been connected, running directly from Stormrage City to Zecheng, the capital of Mist Province. The speed is not fast, only 40 kilometers per hour, and there are many stops along the way.

However, the emergence of trains directly led to a rapid increase in trade between the two places and more frequent exchanges of people.

The most critical thing is that the emergence of railway transportation has allowed better development of industrialization.

Russell personally participated in the ribbon-cutting of this railway and personally took a steam train painted in black.

The speed was so slow that he almost jumped out of the window and flew away halfway.

But the civilians riding the train were full of surprise and laughter, especially the merchants who had previously hired caravans to travel north and south. They laughed from ear to ear when they saw that the train cars could be filled with goods.

"We must build the railway to the Populus euphratica Gobi as soon as possible, and then continue to build it northward to the cold wind and snow forest on the border. If possible, let the managers and scholars of the Railway Bureau finalize the plan for the under-ice train as soon as possible. We keep building further north to shorten the migration distance.”

Snowfields are full of dangers.

In the past, humans used the Great Wall of Ice and Snow as a trade route, but with the advent of trains, they can build rail tracks under the ice and use the cover of the ice cover to open a railway similar to a subway - this can effectively avoid the invasion of snow demons.

"The railway to the Populus euphratica desert should be able to be connected before the Dragon's Birthday." The eldest brother Roland said.

He has done an outstanding job as Minister of Industry.

He has become Russell's right-hand man, but his cousin Mel, who Russell has high hopes for, does not do satisfactorily in the position of Foreign Secretary. He was asked to go on a mission to the Molten Duchy to contact the refugees from the Molten Duchy. He took a long time before setting off.

I can't bear to leave Anne Inula at home. I wish I could stay in the castle all my life and be with Anne.

Fortunately, Viscount Fred has followed Russell.

Through Lei Sheng's contact, Russell could also remotely control the situation in the Molten Duchy and win over many knights and civilians with the help of Viscount Fred, the signature of the Molten Dragon Blood Family. With a population of eight million, it can attract at least three million.

Of the remaining five million people, three million will migrate to the Fiery Torrent Kingdom, and the other two million have not yet been decided.

Because the Grand Duchy of Mist and the Kingdom of Hurricane Thunder are also lobbying to win over the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Molten. They are relatively far away from the Grand Duchy of Molten, but in general, it is not easy to go anywhere.

certainly.

Of these eight million people who have walked through the long snowfield, I am afraid that at least a quarter of the population will end up sleeping in the snowfield.

But it won’t work if we don’t leave. We can’t follow the Molten Duchy and freeze it together.

"The technology of trains under ice is no longer a problem, but the serious problem before us is that the metal required is not enough." Roland said, "Metal rails that can withstand freezing need to be doped with nickel silver, but our country does not have nickel silver. ”

"Then continue to study other alloys and strive to use other metal materials to replace nickel silver." Russell said.

After a pause, he added: "If that doesn't work, just trade nickel silver from the Kingdom of Blazing Torrent."

"But the demand for nickel silver is huge. The cost of purchasing it from the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents alone is too high. In order to build an under-ice railway, the gain outweighs the loss."

"Research first and then talk."

When the conversation ended, Russell immediately went to the Shadow Flame Volcano. As the little Menglong was about to wake up, his relationship with the Shadow Flame Dragon was also heating up rapidly.

Enter the volcano.

Russell directly stated his purpose: "Shadow Flame, do you have a premonition when another flying dragon will be born?"

"I can't predict it." The Shadow Flame Dragon responded with its eyes closed. During this period, it was fully comprehending the hope of the Molten Dragon returning to ancient times.

"Then can you control the attributes of the wyvern? The country needs a nickel silver dragon." Russell said, "Just like you did when you cultivated the black oil dragon Rosey."

"That's very difficult." The Shadow Flame dragon opened its eyes, "It requires a lot of dragon essence and blood. Russell, are you willing for Shadow Flame to empty your body and cultivate a nickel silver dragon for you?"

"Well, of course I hope not."

"But it's not without a solution." The Shadow Flame dragon changed its tone, "Shadow Flame's essence, blood and origin are too precious, but those fallen flying dragons in the Molten Duchy may be able to make use of them."

"How to do it?"

"Catch them, throw them into Shadow Flame's volcano, and let Shadow Flame refine them. About ten bipedal flying dragons can refine a dragon egg." The words of the Shadow Flame Dragon were full of temptation, " Rather than letting them rot in the snowfield, why not use them to strengthen Shadow Flame's country?"

"What benefits can you get?"

"Of course there are benefits. Shadow Flame doesn't want to waste time on things that are not beneficial." Shadow Flame Dragon narrowed his eyes, "The bones of the wyverns, rolling in the magma, boiled into essence, are no worse than the effect of the Frost Star Pearl."

After a pause, Shadow Flame Dragon added: "The most important thing is that these wyverns are wyverns from foreign lands, and their power does not need Shadow Flame to provide."

All the wyverns of our own come from the Shadow Flame Dragon.

Even if the wyverns are killed and refined, the Shadow Flame Dragon will not get any improvement. On the contrary, after the warm enclave is extinguished, it will also lose its power.

But.

If it is someone else's wyvern, there will be no such disadvantages.

"I understand." Russell nodded. "My partner, Senbula, has followed the envoy team and is about to arrive at the Molten Duchy. At that time, I will personally discuss with Viscount Fred to see if I can receive ten fallen wyverns."

"Although it is not authentic to say, Molten Fire fell and Shadow Flame was full!" Shadow Flame Dragon was in a good mood.

Looking at Russell, he became more and more satisfied: "Let the refugees enter the Shadow Flame Kingdom, Shadow Flame will protect their safety! Population, industry, elves, knights... Shadow Flame's country will become stronger and stronger!"

"Have a good rest, don't be too excited, you may not receive ten fallen wyverns." Russell waved his hand and left the Shadow Flame Volcano.

Before he walked out of the crater.

The gurgling magic dragon language of the Shadow Flame Dragon resounded throughout the volcano again: "Russell, say hello to Ice Cream for me."

"I will."

"Tell it that if the volcano doesn't erupt yet, if you still have to wait, it's better to give the first contract position to Shadow Flame!"

"Hmm!" Russell has not responded yet.

The M-shaped mark on the palm of Russell's left hand began to burn violently. This was the silent protest of the sleeping little dragon.

Waving his hand, Russell flew away from the Shadow Flame Volcano.

He said slowly to his left hand: "Don't worry, Ice Cream, don't worry, no matter what Shadow Flame says, you are the first dragon I have contracted. If a knight can only contract one dragon, it must be you!"

After being comforted by Russell, the M-shaped mark finally calmed down and turned into sparks that dissipated with the wind.
