Chapter 71: Dryad Territory and Main Quest - Part 1

As we travel towards the [Dwarf Territory], I suddenly remembered that the dwarves are not that friendly with humans.

'Wait--I am not a human anymore. But I don't know how will they deal with me once they know that I am basically a dragon...'

As far as I remember, there are seven empires on the dragon continent where we are currently at and one of them is the [Dwaven Empire] or so we-called [Dwarf Territory]. This continent is consists of three kingdoms.

The capital, [Druid Kingdom], the [Rejical Kingdom] and the [Biosen Kingdom].

All of the dwarves are kind of pity and despises humans because of what happened million years ago. I am not sure why but it also seems like they are also hostile to demons and elves.

The empire is located on an island that is more probably larger than Greenland in the southwest region of the continent.

The reason why I have to go here is that I have to befriend dwarves and invite some blacksmith to join our guild. Of course, they will get benefits too based on what they want.

Dwarves are known for their affinity and techniques for the blacksmithing method and they knew more than one hundred thousand blueprints. Even though the lifespan of dwarves can only reach half a million, they can also become a warrior that can even fight the humans fairly.

Just like what happened to the [God of Smithery, Jana] or to be more precise, the [Goddess of Blueprints] is what she is known for.

She is one of the party members of the legendary party several million years ago. The party where Arron, the [God of Peace] joined and they attained godhood together.

"I wonder how can I befriend them?" I scratched my head as I don't know what to do about this matter due to the fact that I am neither human, demon, or elf but no one knows if the dragons are on friendly terms with the dwarves.

I just opened my skills windows and activates the [Skill Fusion] to combine the [Supreme Dragon Tree] and [Constellation Dragon Tree]

[Fusing...10%]

[Fusng...49%]

[Fusing...69%]

[You successfully combined [Supreme Dragon Tree] and [Constellation Dragon Tree]! You got [Realm Dragon Tree]]

[You unlocked another skill grade, the [God] rank skills!]

[1] [Automatically changing the unranked skills into [God] rank]

[Do you want to tell everyone about this achievement? Y/N]

[No]

I immediately opened the new dragon tree that I own.

[Realm Dragon Tree

-The ability of a dragon who created the universe. It is not complete and you have to learn all dragon skills that existed to become the new lord of the realm and there is a possibility to evolve to the [Yggdrasil Dragon] who guards the world tree or the supreme dragon that rules over countless realms, the [Universal Dragon God King]

Lacking 35 dragon skills (Lightning, Star, Volcano...)

-New Skills:

Realm Dragon's Gaze

Realm Dragon's Breathe

...]

"Cool! This dragon tree is the skill of creation!" I sighed as I think of a way to get [Lightning Dragon Tree]

[Lightning Dragons] only exists in the Zeus Empire and the empire is the empire for giants and legendary beasts while the other dragons are unknown.

Maybe the [Volcano Dragon] existed in the [Volcanic Range] in the south... The [Water Dragon] has a vague location...

"Ah! I haven't absorbed the orbs yet! I can get skills there!" I remembered as I feel the gust of winds flowing past me.

***

"Master, are you awake now?" Ashton said as I finished absorbing the cores.

[Congratulations! Your Elemental Dragon (Tier IV) class was promoted to Dragon God]

[Congratulations! Your Phantom Assassin (Tier IV) class was promoted to Assassin God]

[Congratulations! Your Uprising Dragon (Tier IV) class was promoted to Dragon Leader]

'Huh? All of my sage classes merged and evolved? It is now [Dragon God]. It seems like [Assassin King] was promoted several times too... If I promote one time, all of your classes will promote at the same time? Dragon Tamer was promoted to Dragon Leader too...'

Then, I immediately looked at the new skills and saw a lot of dragons skill trees.

"1, 2, 3... 24, 25, 26... 33, 34, 35..." I am speechless and it seems like the gods are the one who is behind this too much dragon skills on promoting five times.

I scrolled and check the other skill but there is only one skill that is added besides these 35 dragon skill trees.

It is the [Dragon Magic] as one of my passive skills.

"What is the difference between [Dragon Magic] and [Dragon Magic Tree]?" I muttered as I tapped the new skill for more information.

[Dragon Magic

-A magic that let you use dragon element freely

Effect: +100% Dragon Element Affinity]

[Note: Your Dragon Affinity is already at 100%. Do you want to exceed the limits or get the alternative option?]

'Alternative Option?' I tapped the second option, which is the alternative option, and then it showed me several options that I can choose from. All of them are connected to the dragons and I saw something I really need.

"[Merge all of the Dragon Skill Trees]" I said as I tapped the option which really satisfies me.

To combine all of the dragon skill trees, it will take 35 days to fuse all of them. So, this will really help me a lot.

[All [Dragon Skill Trees] (36) are merging with the highest-ranking dragon tree.]

[Merging...0%]

[Merging...1%]

'The process is slow...' I sighed as I opened my status window and saw a lot of changes. All of my skills with [Elemental] in front of their names are all gone and it changed into Dragon. My [Entity] job is also unlocked but my [Identify] or [Appraisal] can't see the description of the job.

[The Gods said they don't think about that too much...]

"That is not convincing..." I muttered as I look at the window where the merging process is indicated.

[Merging...1%]

It seems like this will take a long time. I look at the forest down below us and it seems like we are already near the territory.

This forest is called the [Dryad Forest] where all nature creatures with lawful nature are living. This is also an empire.

This empire or territory is only one empire away from the [Dwarven Empire] and it is also larger than [Dragon Empire], it is like 15 Russia combined together.

"Ashton, let's stop here first, let's visit the Dryads first!" He nods at my suggestion as we landed on the peak of a mountain.

"Master, what is the [Dryads]?" Ashton asked as we walked towards a good position to see the horizon.

"Well, [Dryads] is similar to [Elves]. They are the children of nature itself with a very good affinity in all ten basic elements. They are friendly to everyone but they kind of hate evil creatures. They all live in this forest and preserve it for hundreds of million years. They already exist after the dragons are created by the universe. They also considered dragon as their superior and they never leave the forest so it is kind of rare to see them in the other kingdoms..." I explained as he became a child and I sat on a boulder where I can see the beautiful horizon. I looked at the time and it shows that it is already morning in the real world.

***

Nothing much happened in school and tomorrow is Saturday so it is okay for me to enter the Olympus any time I want but I will make sure that I am going to join the dinner, train aura, train swordsmanship, and learn assassination.

If I am going to estimate the time, 20 minutes of eating for two or three times, two hours of practicing aura and swordsmanship, and one hour for practicing assassination.

We also received the results of our final exam for the year and I ranked first. It is not new to me though.

Also, as I expected, more than half of us in that classroom is promoted and the rest are going to repeat.

Master gave me my identity card as Loki Evans and the FBI also gave me one as Caleb Miller earlier.

"Now, I have a total of four identities and I don't have to worry about anything about my identity regardless of any reasons." I chuckled as I opened the website of Olympus.

They are talking about us again. Some of the topics are about top rankers while the other topics are all about the upcoming auction and event.

On Sunday, there is an event that will occur. It is a game where you will find treasure.

Yes.

A treasure hunt and on top of that, it is continental-wide. So the treasure is everywhere. There are only several rules including you are free to kill and you can monopolize an area. You can't also gain EXP during the event and only receive the drops.

You can create a party and NPC can also be part of your team.

"Should I stay at the [Dryad Empire] first? I can ask Dryads for their help..." I muttered as I continued scrolling.

There is also a rumor about our guild that is posted in an article.

The article said that our guild can let anyone join but with hidden requirements and no one knows what is it. Strength is not our guild wanted nor money.

That is true. Because the hidden requirements are two things: desire and virtue. We will see if his desire is similar to ours and their virtue or nature must be lawful or neutral, chaotic nature is kind of hard to deal with, after all.
