Chapter 234: Chapter 156: An Unimagined Path, Sub-dragon Species Magical Pet (2)
Breeding the Dragon Race!
Sherman and Cole were shocked by this plan.
Just thinking about how this place used to be a breeding ground for dragons that could rival Official Wizards made them secretly gasp in awe.
Despite the shock, there’s nothing much to see in Zone 2 now.
The dragon skeletons that once filled the area have all been cleared away.
As they passed through the open Zone 2, the three of them quickly entered Zone 1.
The moment they crossed the barrier, the lush green scenery invaded Sherman and Cole’s view with unstoppable force, instantly filling their entire field of vision.
Towering trees, tens of meters or even a hundred meters tall, blocked out the sun, and the ground was covered by thriving plants, with even the shrubs reaching two to three meters high.
From afar came the sound of beasts roaring back and forth, and one could vaguely hear the sound of heavy footsteps.
Everything before them seemed as if they had entered an ancient era.
Gazing at the breathtaking scenery ahead, Sherman and Cole instinctively held their breath.
“Very awe-inspiring, isn’t it? When I saw this view for the first time, I felt the same way as you do.”
Patiently waiting for the two to come back to their senses, Attila smiled and said:
“More than ninety percent of Zone 1 is forest.”
“This area is home to many rare Magic Plants, and tens of thousands of Sub-dragon Species.”
“Among them, there are quite a few Legendary-level Sub-dragon Species. Considering the danger, Zone 1 is temporarily closed off, and only Level 2 Wizard Apprentices are allowed to enter the Dragon Forest to carry out tasks like collecting Sub-dragon Blood or Magic Plants.”
While explaining, Attila led the two of them into the forest.
She seemed to have been here many times, cautiously avoiding certain areas along the way.
According to her, those areas were inhabited by Legendary-level Sub-dragon Species; it’s best to avoid them if not necessary.
Otherwise, if discovered and chased, one would have to waste Gemstones to escape.
After walking just a thousand meters, Sherman and Cole saw no less than thirty types of Sub-dragon Species, and their hearts became even more amazed by the magic of the Dragon Forest.
In the past, they couldn’t have imagined there would be a place specifically for breeding Sub-dragon Species.
Sub-dragon Species, rarely seen outside, were everywhere here.
Only Wizard Apprentices know how precious this place really is!
It is filled with walking material conglomerates!
“By the way, have you ever considered contracting a Magical Pet?”
Halfway through the walk, Attila suddenly asked.
Sherman and Cole both nodded.
Level 2 Wizard Apprentices can contract Magical Pets.
They have considered this for a long time, but have never found a suitable contract target.
With the teacher’s exceptionally strong Magical Pet being a tough act to follow, they don’t want to casually contract an ordinary Magical Pet.
“Have you thought about the Sub-dragon Species?” Attila spoke surprisingly.
“Sub-dragon Species?” Sherman was stunned, smiling wryly and shaking his head, “I wanted to, but the stronger an Exotic Beast is, the harder it is to contract as a Magical Pet. Contracting a Sub-dragon Species… it’s probably impossible, right?”
Cole also shook his head and said, “The weakest Sub-dragon Species have strength at the Grand Knight Level. With our current power, it’s impossible to contract them successfully.”
Apparently, when the teacher contracted a Hidden Dragon, the latter only had Peak Knight Level strength.
Surely, they can’t be more aggressive than the teacher, right?
Attila laughed, “Of course, adult Sub-dragon Species are not possible, but there are plenty of juvenile Sub-dragon Species in Zone 1. We can choose them as targets, and as long as we pick a species with a gentle temperament, the probability of success is quite high.”
Sherman and Cole were taken aback.
They had never thought down this path before, especially since adult Sub-dragon Species were rare, let alone juveniles.
Previously, when considering Magical Pets, they never thought of this aspect.
But now, hearing Attila say this, it seems quite feasible!
In an instant, Sherman and Cole simultaneously showed excited expressions.
If they could contract a Sub-dragon Species as a Magical Pet, it would be fantastic!
The growth potential of Sub-dragon Species is much stronger than that of ordinary Exotic Beasts!
With this idea arising, when looking at the Sub-dragon Species along the way, their gaze suddenly carried an undeniable fervor.
Every time they saw a Sub-dragon Species, they began evaluating in their hearts whether it was suitable as a Magical Pet contract target.
Attila observed this and smiled, “There’s detailed information on Sub-dragon Species in the Dragon Remains Tower; when we get back, just ask Butler 1 for a copy for you.”
“Butler 1?” Sherman looked puzzled.
Attila explained, “It’s the intelligent assistant of the Dragon Remains Tower, said to be more advanced than the Refined Gold Golem, according to the teacher.”
Sherman suddenly understood.
Having roughly toured Zone 1, the three then reluctantly set off for their return.
On the way, Attila suddenly remembered seeing Sean and the others earlier, curiously asked, “I heard the knight guard is equipped with Magic Pattern Armor, how does it perform?”
“Very strong.” Sherman answered without hesitation, “Much more powerful than ordinary Alchemy-level magic items.”
“Especially the Level 2 Magic Pattern Armor, it feels almost as good as Micro-Light Level magic items.”
Cole also chimed in, “I’ve heard there are even more advanced Level 3 Magic Pattern Armor, I wonder how its enhancement effects are?”
“The base’s exchange list was just updated recently, and there are Level 3 Magic Pattern Armor available now. If you’re really curious, you can exchange for a set to see.” Attila said with a smile.
She originally just meant to say this jokingly, but upon her words falling, she saw Sherman and Cole simultaneously showing a look of longing, and was momentarily silent.
“Are you really planning to exchange?”
Sherman snapped out of it and said, “When we explore the underground world, we are often ambushed by monsters, caught off guard, and many times have to fight monsters in close quarters; if we have a set of Level 3 Magic Pattern Armor, it would be much safer.”
“That’s right.” Cole nodded in agreement.
“But you need to be at Grand Knight Level to use Level 3 Magic Pattern Armor.”
“That’s simple; just exchange for a few high-level Dragon Blood Fruits.”
Level 2 Wizard Apprentices generally already have the physical fitness of a Knight Level.
Whether it’s Sherman or Cole, their physical fitness has already reached High Knight; consuming a Level 4 Dragon Blood Fruit can break through to Grand Knight Level.
For Wizard Apprentices, enhancing physical fitness is not a big deal at all.
Attila carefully thought it over and found what they said made sense, and for a moment, she also felt a bit tempted.
After all, once she masters magic, she will certainly join the exploration in the underground world.
Having Magic Pattern Armor would significantly improve safety.
Returning to the Dragon Remains Tower, Attila inquired about Butler 1, and upon hearing the teacher had already come out of the laboratory and was now in the study, she led Sherman and Cole to teleport to the tower level where the study is located.
“Next, you can go see the teacher yourselves.” Attila waved to say goodbye to the two of them.
Sherman and Cole tidied their looks, then knocked on the door of the study.
“Come in.” Their teacher’s voice came from inside.
The two pushed the door open and entered, seeing their teacher sitting behind the desk, eyes fixed on a piece of parchment on the table.
It seemed to be… a map?
“You’re coming back to see me in a hurry; have there been developments in the exploration mission?”
Sunan withdrew his gaze from the desk and raised his head to look at the two.
“Yes, teacher.” Cole spoke first, “We’ve eradicated the remaining Eye Demon Tribe to the north and continued exploring northwards, and just like you said, we discovered a city-state of eye demons.”
“We managed to capture an eye demon, and after interrogation, confirmed that the city-state is called the Giant Eye City, and its ruler is indeed a Nest Mother Eye.”
Sunan nodded knowingly, and his gaze fell on the map.
This was a military map created according to the information provided by the Traveler.
It clearly depicted the distribution of forces within two thousand kilometers of the Star Alliance, including major city-states, tribes, and areas with powerful monsters or deadly eerie dangers.
Of course, considering the Traveler’s limited capability, it’s impossible to comprehensively investigate every inch of this area, so this map is surely lacking.
But even so, it’s still beneficial for the Star Alliance’s future expansion ambitions.
