From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Chapter 258 High Priest Vashj, Sea Dragons, and the Composition of World Consciousness

After the Dragon Riding Ceremony, Krober proposed to Veronica the idea of ​​returning to Amethyst Island with Ansel.

There is no doubt that this idea was strongly supported by Veronica.

Veronica has always been supportive of Krober's expansion of the dragon knight's social circle.

And she also hopes that Krober will leave the political circle for a while and focus on improving his level.

"Let's go, Ansel, I'll lead the way, let's go to Amethyst Island."

Samuel sat on Ama's crescent platform and waited for Ansel to ride his black iron dragon.

"Haha, good! Iron Claw, let's go."

As Ansel finished speaking, a black iron dragon with a length of more than 30 meters, a black body, and two extremely slender and sharp front claws appeared in the air.

The two of them chatted and laughed while riding the dragon towards the direction of Amethyst Island.

————

In the middle of the blue sea, the Naga Sanctuary.

A Naga with snow-white skin and a curvy figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground handling official business.

Unlike ordinary Nagas, she only has one pair of arms, and her skin color is the same as that of human women.

If it weren't for the snake hair and the thick snake tail below, she might really be mistaken for a human woman.

"Has Osius not sent any news yet?" (Naga language)

A majestic and magnetic female voice sounded, and the maid next to the Naga stood up and answered:

"Reporting to the high priest, Osius has not sent any news yet, but the soul beads of the tribesmen who traveled with him are safe and sound, which means that they are not in danger of life."

Vashj rubbed her eyebrows. Since the defeat of the sea tribe in ancient times, the overall strength of the Naga tribe has been slowly declining.

Not only that, the resources in the shallow sea area where the Naga tribe lives are gradually depleting, and various foods such as fish and seaweed are gradually decreasing.

In recent years, the birth rate of newborns in the Naga tribe has been close to zero.

This is undoubtedly a very terrifying thing for a race.

Maybe nothing can be seen in the short term, but over time, or if the Naga population is greatly reduced due to war, then the Naga tribe can be declared extinct.

As the high priest of the Naga tribe, Vashj shoulders a heavy responsibility.

"Go prepare the letter of credence. Tomorrow morning I will visit the Amethyst Island as the ruler of the Naga tribe."

Vashj attaches great importance to the Golden Duchy behind Krober.

To be precise, it is the Emerald Kingdom behind the Golden Duchy.

Unlike the Winged People living on the Floating Island, the blue sea where the Naga live is too close to the human kingdom.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is the quality that a leader should have.

The glory of the ancient times has passed, and what the Naga tribe has to do now is to try every means to survive.

For this reason, she sent the only human fantasy beast knight in her hand to the Amethyst Islands.

In order to find out what the human kingdom currently thinks of the Naga tribe.

If the human kingdom really wanted to invade, she could immediately take her people to the north of the blue sea to seek refuge with the mermaid royal family.

"High Priest, the letter of credence has been prepared, but as for the gifts..."

The maid hesitated, but Vashj could guess the second half of the sentence.

"Go find His Excellency the Coral Dragon and ask it to use its magic to give birth to a coral."

The economic situation of the Naga tribe is currently worrying, and the few dragons in the tribe have been responsible for exchanging food and other materials with other races.

Only His Excellency the Coral Dragon has extra magic to give birth to magical creations.

"Yes."

The maid agreed and turned to leave the sanctuary.

"Zora, please come with me on this mission."

Vashj communicated with her contracted sea crystal dragon Zora through a mental link.

"Okay, Vashj, don't worry, I will protect you."

Zora's crisp voice sounded from the bottom of her heart, providing Vashj with a sufficient sense of security for her somewhat uneasy heart.

Zora the Sea Crystal Dragon is a lower-level sea dragon partner contracted by Vashj. It can produce a sea-blue crystal through dyeing, which has the ability to be water-friendly and is one of the important materials for magic experiments.

Outside the Naga Sanctuary.

A sea dragon with a sea-blue body and a white belly appeared outside.

It is Zora the Sea Crystal Dragon, Vashj's contracted partner.

Just as the land elves are different from the sea elves, the dragon species contracted by humans will naturally have many differences in appearance from the sea dragon species.

The dragon species contracted by humans are all Western dragons with wings on their backs and four claws.

But the sea dragon species are different. Although they can also fly, they have no wings and can only fly in the air with magic power, so their flying speed is far weaker than that of the dragon species.

The places where claws and wings originally grew have also been replaced by many sharp fins.

Although they have lost air superiority, the sea dragon species can exert their strongest combat power in the sea.

And the dragon species will be suppressed to a certain extent when they go to the sea.

From this perspective, they can only be regarded as each having its own merits.

"Vashj, do you really not need to inform Lord Ocean Dragon when you go to the human territory this time?"

Ocean Dragon is a superior dragon species worshipped by the Naga clan.

It is bred by the second component of world consciousness - ocean consciousness.

World consciousness is composed of three parts in total.

That is, sky consciousness, earth consciousness, and ocean consciousness.

Earth consciousness is what humans call world consciousness, because humans' cognition of the world usually comes from the mouths of giant dragon species that gave birth to earth consciousness.

So their cognition of world consciousness is too narrow, thinking that the whole world only has those dirty minerals and a dozen upper dragons.

But the Naga tribe is different. As a natural magical creature, the Naga tribe's cognition of the whole world is much stronger than that of humans with flesh and blood.

Ocean consciousness is the consciousness that breeds various marine creatures, including sea creatures, sea beasts, sea dragons and other creatures.

So the sea dragon species naturally also has corresponding lower-level mineral dragons and upper-level dragons.

It's just that the ocean consciousness is in a weak position among the three major consciousnesses, and there are only three upper-level dragon species that can be born, which are controlled by the three ruling families of the sea clan.

That is, the Naga clan, the Kul clan, and the mermaid clan.

The entire sea clan does not even have half the strength of the human kingdom. The weakness of the ocean consciousness can be imagined.

And the sky consciousness breeds creatures such as the winged clan, pterosaur species, and birds.

The strength of sky consciousness is slightly stronger than ocean consciousness, but limited.

It still cannot fight against the earth consciousness represented by humans.

As for why these two consciousnesses are weak, we have to trace it back to the war in ancient times, which will be discussed later.

And natural dragons, also known as elemental dragons, are the most special existences. They are the offspring born after the three major consciousnesses are combined together.

Wind dragons and thunder dragons represent the sky, earth dragons, wood dragons and fire dragons represent the earth, and water dragons represent the ocean.

As for light dragons and dark dragons, they are born at the two poles of the world, symbolizing the positive and negative extremes.

It is precisely because of the special identity of natural dragons that humans, sea tribes, and wing tribes have never had corresponding dragon knights from ancient times to the present.
