Kalon's massive body lay on the cool floor, making no movements, his claw resting on the head attendant Charlize's body twitched slightly, but he did not speak.
Knowledge Fortress is the designation for the demiplane left behind by the Ancient Magician.
Although Kalon's cooperation with the magicians had been smooth and greatly rewarding, the True Dragons was nearing its next age of slumber, and he would not choose to explore or adventure at this time.
Furthermore, for Kalon, blindly collecting knowledge without digesting it offered no benefit; even if he weren't facing the impending slumber, he would still make the same choice.
Although the Red Dragon remained quiet, showing no indication.
The attendant Charlize, however, already understood her master's intentions; she smiled slightly, not revealing her teeth.
She gently brushed the long hair that had fallen onto Kalon's Dragon claw behind her ear, then used a special red pen to draw a large red 'X' on the scroll.
She then rolled up the scroll and sealed it away.
Her position as head attendant was not merely due to her beauty and former family background; the calmness and composure she displayed upon meeting the Red Dragon were also reasons Kalon valued her.
"The steam power device transferred to the Internal Affairs Department by the Goblin inventor Bang Bang has been successfully improved by the Scholars at the Research Center and is ready for practical operation experiments. A steam locomotive is also currently being designed."
"However, if tracks are laid throughout the entire territory as master envisions after success, it will consume a great deal of iron ore. The territory's current production capacity is insufficient to supply such a massive consumption, as the focus in this area is on arms production."
Charlize took out another document and read it softly into Kalon's ear.
"After the experiment is successful, wooden tracks can be laid first. Let the people in the Internal Affairs Department be more flexible in their thinking and adapt to local conditions," Kalon flicked his tail, offering his opinion.
Charlize picked up the red pen and wrote down the Red Dragon's opinion word for word at the end of the scroll, then motioned for another Elf attendant, who was also standing by, to gather the marked document.
"Currently, the magical power core armor, also transferred to the Research Center by the Goblin Bang Bang, has achieved stable and successful results after being improved by those Scholars. The Military Affairs Department is now applying to equip all regular military units in the territory with it. They have named this successfully improved armor 'Conqueror Generation One'!
Charlize opened the third document and read it softly.
"It can be implemented gradually, and the name is acceptable."
Kalon offered his opinion, but then opened one eye and grumbled, "This Goblin Bang Bang only invents and doesn't bother with improvements, huh? If that's the case, hand over the blueprints I drew in my study before to the Research Center. Let them make these things."
The dimples on Charlize's cheeks subtly appeared. She made a note on the document, then softly summoned other attendants to complete the tasks her master had assigned.
The keys to every room on the second floor of the castle were on Charlize, like a belt, wrapped around her soft, exposed waist.
"The data compiled by the Scholars from the Statistics and Planning Department has been gathered. This data includes all systems within the territory, such as the Barbarian totems, the power seed cultivation method submitted by Commander Bartoli, the magicians' meditation cultivation, and the magic construct devices of the Ancient Magicians obtained through exploration, among others."
"Copy all these materials and seal them in my study," Kalon said.
"Master, there's one more thing on the document," Charlize looked up, tucking her thick, long hair behind her ear. She said softly, "Antoda, a Scholar who is a leader in the Statistics and Planning Department and one of the candidates for the Kings of Knowledge, has submitted a plan."
"He believes that these power systems can, to some extent, merge and achieve a more powerful effect. Therefore, he is applying to you to initiate a project named 'Angel of Punishment'!".
Three True Dragons flew above the endlessly dense forest. Among them were two Blue Dragon, not very different in size, and a stronger Red Dragon trailing behind the two Blue Dragon, like a follower.
These were the three True Dragons: Carlit, Akzi, and Kadilos.
The graceful Carlit led the way, with the Blue Dragon Akzi slightly behind Carlit by one body length.
The Young Red Dragon Kadilos, on the other hand, vigilantly looked at his surroundings, following the Carlit all the way northwest of the Dragon Clans Territory, already beginning to move away from the Dragon Clan Territory's range.
This made the Young Red Dragon, who had wandered for many years, habitually maintain his vigilance. No one could guarantee that some creatures stronger than Young True Dragon wouldn't suddenly emerge from the dangerous forest. Kadilos's past losses had taught him a lesson.
Although the two Blue Dragon also remained vigilant, Blue Dragon have the ability to control storms, and their agility and speed in the sky are superior to Red Dragon, so they were not overly worried.
Perhaps they couldn't outrun their enemies, but being able to outrun the Red Dragon was enough.
"How much further, Carlit? If we go much further, we'll have to turn back. We can't stray too far from the Dragon Clan Territory; we might accidentally enter the territory of other powerful creatures."
Although the Blue Dragon Akzi wanted to complete the mission, he would not lose his vigilance.
"Hehe," having cast off her burden and resolved to re-embrace the True Dragon to find salvation, the Carlit seemed particularly relaxed at this moment. She laughed loudly and said, "It's not far now. Haven't you felt that the magic in this place is becoming increasingly concentrated, Akzi?"
"I used to be a coward, but I don't wish for my future companion to be a coward either."
"Hmph, you'll see how valiant I am," the Blue Dragon Akzi snorted, no longer having the former reserve he showed towards the Goddess True Dragon. This, instead, gave him a unique charm in front of the Carlit.
"Pfft," Carlit was in an exceptionally good mood. She laughed at the Blue Dragon Akzi, "Then the time for you to demonstrate your valor is about to arrive."
"Ahead is the Valley of Fallen Giants. The magic there is exceptionally concentrated, and because of this, many extraordinary magical beasts have been born."
"Many wandering wild True Dragons also stop here. I once passed by there when I traveled from the Gods' Promised Land to the Dragon Nest."
"Occasionally, wandering wild True Dragon build nests there and lay True Dragon eggs. I used to sneak into their nests and pick up there True Dragon eggs when those wild True Dragons left their nests, hehe!"
"That's good!" the Young Red Dragon Kadilos excitedly flew to the front, flying shoulder to shoulder with the two Blue Dragon. He roared in a loud voice, "I've been cooped up for the past two years! I need to catch a female True Dragon and bring her back to guard the treasury with me!"
The Blue Dragon Akzi again cast his vertical pupils towards the excited Red Dragon and said lightly, "It's not your turn, Kadilos. The True Dragons in the Dragon clan have absolute priority in choosing!"
