638 Red Dragon Tribe's Changes

"Which bastard dares to attack my Evron family and not themselves?! Come out, you coward!"

"Do you think I won't find you if you hide in the sky?! I know you're hiding up there! Show yourself!"

"Goddamned vermin! This Lord is truly infuriated!"

"Ready my wyvern! This Lord will pull the snake out of the sky!"

After Beru's furious shouts failed to provoke the unknown enemy out of hiding, he lost his patience and called for his wyvern. A large red wyvern with wingspans of over thirty meters soon flew from the wyvern nest in the imperial capital, and before long, Beru took to the skies.

However, the head of the Evron family did not charge into the skies alone. He went with two accompanying wyvern riders from his family.

Another two dozen other wyvern riders also flew over from different directions. Half of them belonged to the imperial family alone, and the rest came from various families affiliated with the Evron family and Duke Gamliel.

They had all come to assist the imperial wyvern riders in apprehending the culprit who dared to defy imperial law and disturb the peace of the imperial capital.

"Lord Beru, do you have any idea who the lawbreaker could be?" the leader of the imperial wyvern rider group gravely inquired.

"Thank you for coming, Lord Perez," Beru first expressed his gratitude before shaking his head with helpless anger, "I have no idea who it is, but I would also like to know who this daring bastard is!"

"Then, let us be quick, lest this lawbreaker escapes!"

"Yes, Lord Perez!"

Within moments, the over two dozen wyvern riders disappeared into the thick, dark clouds in search of the culprit.

Meanwhile, Vaan followed Acharon to a dressing room to change out of their damaged gear and adorn new sets of clothes. Vaan was given a fresh look and no longer had the appearance of a travel-torn warrior. In his new noble desert attire, he seemed more like a local person of nobility.

Acharon nodded with approval at Vaan's new look and gifted another two sets of similar styles.

"When a member of Duke Gamliel's faction is presented to the public, they don't just represent themself but also Duke Gamliel. Only clothes of this style are more fitting for Young Master Vanderlin to wear," Acharon commented.

"My father and the imperial wyvern riders will handle the matter outside, so there's no need for us to be involved. However, I also think it's dangerous for you to leave tonight, Young Master Vanderlin. Stay here; my Evron family will guarantee your safety for the time being."

"We can visit Duke Gamliel's estate tomorrow together," Acharon said.

Vaan had no opinion and nodded.

Under Vaan's request, a private chamber where he could train without getting disturbed was arranged for him instead of a normal resting room.

"Young Master Vanderlin sure is diligent. No wonder you can become a Rank 4 Body Refiner at such an age," Acharon commented, impressed by Vaan's intention to train in such a situation instead of resting.

"I have no other choice. The poor can only work hard to achieve something," Vaan smiled before saying, "If there's nothing else, I will see you tomorrow morning, Young Master Acharon."

"Yes, yes, Young Master Vanderlin. My guards will ensure no one comes to disturb your training," Acharon stated.

"Mm. Thank you, Young Master Acharon."

"It's no big deal."

Shortly after Acharon left, Vaan sealed the heavy stone door and inspected the interior of the underground training chamber, which was one of many used by members of the Evron family for extended secluded training.

The isolated training chamber was spacious, with a cubic dimension of thirty meters on each side. Besides simple reinforcement-type magic arrays, there were no other hidden magic arrays or hexes.

The possibility of spying inside was erased.

Nevertheless, Vaan asked Fraegar to deploy some anti-detection and detection spells in the area for him. That way, no one could spy inside the chamber, and Fraegar would also know when someone was approaching.

Of course, Vaan could detect approaching presences with his Omni-

Sense. However, he didn't intend to stay for long.

'Did you have any trouble losing your pursuers, Fraegar?'

'Not at all, Supreme Leader. These humans had no means of seeing through my rank-five stealth spell, not even when I was only ten meters away from them.'

'More importantly, the magic security of this human city is rather lacking compared to the previous cities, Supreme Leader. This imperial capital has almost no protection against magical attacks, except for a few important structures and buildings.'

'There's nothing to be surprised about. This country is focused on physical development. Given the enormous demand for mana stones to fuel their physical training facilities, there wouldn't be much room left for magical defenses and the like, Fraegar. However, that also makes things easier for us to infiltrate and carry out our plans.'

'Right. It's astonishing how far humans have advanced in this physical aspect. Some of the strongest humans in this country can even contend with me,' Fraegar thought.

However, Fraegar was only comparing their physical prowess. Even the emperor might not necessarily be her match if her powerful magic was included. After all, dragon magic was her forte.

'We'll leave it there for now. Watch over this place for me, and notify me if someone comes. I'll be leaving temporarily, Fraegar.'

'Understood, Supreme Leader.'

'Connect me to the Red Dragon Tribe now.'

'Yes, Supreme Leader.'

Shortly after Fraegar opened the spatial portal, Vaan stepped inside and returned to the Red Dragon Tribe's First Peak.

In an instant, Vaan's presence was felt by every dragon in the vicinity.

They were all descendants of the Fire Dragon God and also tempered themselves in the Fire Dragon God's flesh and blood. As such, their connection to Vaan, who embodied the Fire Dragon God after absorbing the soul of the Fire Dragon God, was quite strong.

"Supreme Leader!"

The nearby red dragons immediately dropped their activities and offered their utmost respects to Vaan's return with a little excitement.

"At ease," Vaan commanded the red dragons to return to their work and pay him no mind as he inspected the Nine Peaks.

The Nine Peaks of the Red Dragon Tribe had undergone a visible transformation since the last time he had visited it. Due to the huge demand for magic tools and various components for the space station and space gates, the Nine Peaks had become one big metallurgy site.

From left to right, machinery could be found everywhere.

The red dragons didn't have enough workforce to keep up with the production demand. Thus, they created self-autonomous magic puppets and machines to carry simple productions for them. As a result, production rates skyrocketed.

Several dozen mountains within the Thousand Fog Mountains had already turned into mining sites due to their rich minerals.

The entire Thousand Fog Mountains could be considered the Red Dragon Tribe's territory. But it was only now that the Red Dragon Tribe was finally making use of all its territory.

The Magma Wyrm Clan, which served under the Red Dragon Tribe, had been practically turned into miners to salvage rare and precious minerals. Its main tasks were drilling underground passageways, gobbling up all the rare and precious minerals in its path, and spitting them back out at the tribe.

Vaan wasn't sure if there were enough minerals in the Thousand Fog Mountains to carry his large projects.

However, the Dragon Mountain Range west of the Thousand Fog Mountains was likely richer in minerals, not to mention the Red Dragon Tribe was also outsourcing minerals from the Black Rose Kingdom and Holy Knight Empire. Thus, there was no need for concerns regarding a mineral shortage.

In one section of the First Peak, Vaan found the core production of the dragon space helmets. Seeing a few dragons testing their new designs for faulty parts, he found the scene quite comical.

His very existence was altering the course of history.

Nevertheless, Vaan had to credit the red dragons for their innovation. The basic blueprint he had given them had been improved by leaps and bounds.

The current dragon space helmet used a type of living glass material, which could be freely adjusted in shape and size. It only took a single press of the button to remove or add the glass protection.

It also seemed the red dragons preferred something closer to a skin-

tight fit instead of the original and simple round dome design.

'I guess they don't like looking like balloon heads,' Vaan thought with amusement. He had no issue with the change of design; he preferred functionality over appearances.

"Supreme Leader, welcome back!" Astarot, Lord of the First Peak, arrived to welcome Vaan as soon as he sensed his arrival.

One by one, the other dragon lords also arrived from the Land of Fire, including Narvim and Khaleesi. Each of their aura had become stronger than before, especially the first three dragon lords.

Astarot, Irmoss, and Sondrei had all stabilized their powerful dragon bodies in the early stages of the Demigod rank. They had been at the peak of Rank 5 for so long. Now that they had precious herbs, fire spirits, and the blood essence of the Fire Dragon God, their potential was unleashed.

With their Demigod-rank dragon bodies, their magic capacity had also vastly increased. The stronger their bodies, the more magical power they could accommodate.

Vaan was satisfied with their growth.

No matter how impressive the Grear Ratholos Empire was, he still commanded the greatest military force in Pangea.

"Let's head to the Dragon Summit for a meeting. There's something I want to discuss with all of you."

"Yes, Supreme Leader!" the nine dragon lords answered in unison.
