Chapter 59: Yalong and his playmates

"A mountain dragon of earth attribute? Not bad."

The moment it came into contact with the air, the moist liquid on the surface of the dragon's body evaporated quickly, leaving behind scales that looked like rocks.

The four elements of wind, water, earth, and fire are the basic attributes of elemental dragons. As a species of dragon, they will master the elemental power of the corresponding attributes from the moment they are born.

The eyes have not yet opened, but this dragon has already begun to bite its eggshell along the hole it has opened. It can be said that the elemental dragon is full of treasures, and even the eggshell contains powerful power.

Eating the eggshell is the first step in the growth of the elemental dragon.

"Is this a dragon?"

"To be precise, it is a dragon, but the dragons in Runeland also have unique forelimbs."

The dragon swallowed the eggshell very quickly. It didn't take long for it to eat a big hole in it, and half of its body had already drilled out.

At this time, Orlan activated the hand armor part of the exoskeleton and stroked the dragon's back.

At first, it had some instinctive resistance, but soon it got used to this rhythm. The touch of metal was closer to the claws of the mountain dragon, which made the young dragon feel more at ease.

"Laili, wait a little longer. It is still very sensitive to the outside world. You have to wait until it opens its eyes before touching it."

After stopping Leliana from wanting to touch the young dragon, Oran took out a booklet from his body with his other hand and handed it to Leliana.

"Now, you can look for the things recorded on it. You will need them later."

"Sister Fran, help me."

Leliana's current literacy rate is very low. She can't recognize other phrases except stone and sulfur. In the end, Frankenstein took her to find materials together.

"Olan, can you still raise dragons?"

Kate knew that Oran could fight and research, and seemed to have experience in raising children. Oran's reason for this was that he opened an orphanage in Piltover, but from the current situation, Oran seemed to have some understanding of various creatures.

"The first time, this is just the experience of our predecessors, and now it seems quite useful."

The dragons once fought side by side with humans in the ancient times of Valoran, but after the war between Shurima and the Void, this connection disappeared.

Only in the special land of Ixtar, a large number of dragons still live, let alone pure-blooded dragons.

As one of the earliest countries to join the Shurima Empire, Ixtar avoided several major crises in the future by almost closing the country to the outside world, leaving the ancient treasures to this day.

It is very difficult to contact Ixtar. In their traditional concept, contact with "foreigners" will bring hatred, war and disease, destroying what the dynasty has guarded for hundreds of years.

So Ixtar refuses to contact the outside world, but there is an exception in the ruling family of Ixtar-Qiana.

She has nine sisters and is the last in the family's succession, but she is unwilling to do so.

At that time, Piltover's explorers and miners were developing the jungle on the border. Qiyana disagreed with her parents' avoidance strategy and believed that they should kill all those people, take back those lands, and make outsiders afraid of this place.

It was also at this time that Orlan had his first contact with Qiyana.

"Your Highness, sometimes you don't have to overturn all traditions. Temporary compliance can make everything go more smoothly."

"Foreigner, what are you talking about?"

"Your elemental talent is extremely powerful, which is enough to win the respect and following of elementalists, but it is not enough to become the queen, and I can help you get more support.

You don't need to fight and kill, I can stop Piltover's exploration here.

For you, you can repel all invaders and take back the land without bloodshed."

Piltover's actions are for profit, and Orlan holds a lot of interests in his hands, so to a certain extent, he can change some of the ideas of the Piltover Council.

Becoming the queen of the entire Ixtal has always been Qiyana's goal, so she was moved by Orlan's proposal.

"What do you want, stranger?"

"Trade, technology for materials. I need some special resources. The quantity is not large, so it should be easy for you.

I can research more suitable technology based on your resources. Don't you think things from hundreds of years ago are too backward? These technologies are the achievements that you, Your Highness, have brought to the country. At the same time, I want a dragon egg."

"Deal."

Ixtal has many ancient secrets, and Qiyana has a certain power, excellent talent and ambition.

For the position of queen, she doesn't mind using some special means to make her competitors disappear. There is no reason for her to refuse such a condition to increase her political capital.

But getting the dragon egg is getting the dragon egg, but it is not easy to hatch it. After so long, this egg was hatched in the new world.

"Dad, I'm back."

Leliana also came back here holding a large wooden barrel, which was made of sulfur, soil and gravel mixed with water and honey fruits.

"Roar~"

At this time, the eggshell was eaten up completely, and the young dragon had opened its eyes. Its earthy yellow pupils were very bright, and it had the characteristics of an egg-laying animal, and it regarded the first moving thing it saw as a relative.

For mountain dragons, the thing in Leliana's hand should be called mud pie, which is the favorite thing of this dragon species. Although they look like they are made of hard rocks, they are the most gentle in their hearts and are the dragon species that have ever gotten along best with humans.

"Haha, stop it, it's itchy."

The young dragon stretched out its tongue to lick Leliana's hands and cheeks, licking the mud off them. Rocks and mud are in the diet of mountain dragons, and even the tongues of newly born young dragons are very rough.

However, Leliana didn't feel this. At this time, she had slightly shown the talent of Charlotte Lingling's "iron balloon".

Also in the cub stage of different races, one person and one dragon quickly became familiar with each other and played freely in the living room.

"Very good, now Leli has a suitable playmate."

Due to her physical condition, people of the same age can't get along well with Leliana, at least not before she learns to control her strength, otherwise Leliana will be excited and her playmate will die if she doesn't pay attention.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the giants can't stand this.

Mountain dragons have the strongest defense, and this physique just matches with Leliana and grows together.

"But the growth rate of the dragon species may not be able to keep up with Leli, so we have to think of a way."

While Oran was thinking about whether to use external force to speed up the development of the young dragon, Kate handed Oran a new notebook.

"By the way, Oran, Feld sent you a new fruit illustration book, which is more complete than the original one.

The type of that bunch of grapes has been figured out, it is the natural mercury fruit."
