Today's dragons are far different from the original Yuanlong in terms of body shape, because they are improved varieties that have been transformed by Titans. "Legends", "Novel" |
In ancient times, the ancestor dragon Galakrond was corrupted by the ancient gods, and the strongest of the race became an exterminator who devoured his own kind. In that era of chaos, Neltharion, Malygos, Alexstrasza, Ysera, and Nozdormu, as leaders against Galakrond, defeated Galakrond before the Titans intervened. Protected the future of the ethnic group.
This achievement is also one of the important reasons why the Titans gave them power and gave them the power of guardians.
To extend the life of a race, it is not enough to rely solely on five Dragon Kings. The number of ancestor Yuanlong who underwent transformation at the beginning was also quite large. But without the protective power given by Titan, the first generation of black dragons, blue dragons, red dragons, green dragons and bronze dragons would not have survived across the long river of history until now.
The Dragon Clan, or the Dragon Clan of Azeroth, the Dragon Clan that are alive today are all descendants of the five Aspect Dragons.
They are all individuals who were born, grew up, and then aged and died under the care of the guardian dragon.
Therefore, the title Dragon King is not an honorific title like a human king, but a statement of fact.
When talking about the continuation of the race, we have to mention the dragon clan’s special breeding method.
For the dragon clan, the most precious treasure is not the beautiful sparkling stones used to decorate the nest, but the dragon eggs.
All dragons are hatched from dragon eggs, but there are subtle differences and differences between eggs, just like the differences between dragons. According to the growth cycle, dragons can be roughly divided into young dragons, young dragons, adult dragons, and giant dragons. These four stages can basically be classified into intelligent dragons and beast dragons according to their IQ. The difference between the two dragons is It lies in the innate hatching difference.
At this point, we have to mention the hatching method of dragon eggs. First, the female dragon lays the egg, and then the male dragon sprays the life essence on the egg, and then uses the dragon's breath to heat and catalyze it. This is the dragon's parenting method. The longer it takes to hatch and the more essence it sprays, the stronger the hatchling becomes. So every guy who can grow into a giant dragon has been shot in the face by his father since he was a child...
From the moment they take their first breath of air, the hatchlings born under this breeding method are dragons with wisdom and inherit the memory of their bloodline. All they need to do is eat, drink, sleep, and grow up peacefully.
Such young dragons are the backbone of the dragon army.
You must know that the life essence given to them by their father is not a milky white suspension, but the real essence of life. Every time the male dragon spits out this life essence, he is actually overdrawing his own life.
From this perspective, no matter which race, reproduction is great.
But without a father to spread the essence of life, dragon eggs can still hatch under the right environment. However, the dragons hatched in this way only have dragon instincts and no bloodline memory. After receiving the teachings of their elders, these dragons can still hatch Grows into an adult dragon, has a body size of more than twenty meters and excellent fighting ability, but does not have the qualifications to become a giant dragon. They are important soldiers of the Dragon Legion.
And if such a dragon egg is lost outside, raised by nature, and accidentally hatched, it will grow into a so-called beast dragon, with the appearance of a dragon, no different from a beast.
In the earliest times, the Dragon Legion did not have such things as dragons, half-dragons, and dragon beasts. These were all gadgets that Malygos tinkered with during the first Burning Invasion in order to deal with the Burning Legion commanded by Sargerasa. In order to fight against the demons of the Burning Legion, the five-color dragon army suffered heavy casualties and seriously lacked combat effectiveness. The blue dragon king Malygos used his imagination to alienate the dragon eggs and cultivated dragons and half-dragons with extremely short growth cycles. , as a supplement to the dragon, a large number of them were invested in the battlefield. Seeing that this was effective, Malygos shared the technology with the other four dragon kings. From then on, dragons and half-dragons appeared in the dragon army. The dragon beast is an innovative reprocessing of Neltharion.
In particular, it needs to be explained that the direct descendants of the Dragon King reproduce in a different way from ordinary dragons. Although they are also hatched from dragon eggs, they do not rely on their mother to lay the eggs and their father to spray them in the face, but they are fertilized inside the mother's body. These born elites have already absorbed the life essence of both their father and mother when they were in their mother's body.
However, there are huge risks in this method of reproduction. During the mating process, the female dragon is under double pressure from the surface and the inside of the body. If you are not careful, mating can turn into murder. Therefore, except for dragon kings and their spouses, ordinary dragons will only use this method to transfer power and reproduce direct descendants before their lives come to an end.
This information, which is considered a lucky secret to outsiders, is understood by every intelligent dragon from the moment it breaks out of its shell.
Therefore, although Onyxia has hatched an army from her own dragon eggs, physically speaking, she is still a virgin dragon.
Therefore, when Nefarian asked her to give him some dragon eggs, Onyxia gave her brother a gentle reply: "Get out!"
"Oni, we are born noble. Our father is the great Black Dragon King. However, we cannot look up to our father's glory all our lives. We must have our own careers and achievements. We must prove that we are worthy of our father. The successor is the future and hope of the Black Dragon Legion!"
Nefarian said impassionedly.
"Well, that makes sense, but that's not the reason for your perversion. If you want dragon eggs, go find those little female dragons who admire you. Black dragons willing to lay eggs for you can line up from Redridge Mountain to Blackrock Tower."
Onyxia used her secret skill: Denial at Ten Moves.
"Don't be like this, my dear Oni, although those girls are also great, but you are the best as expected. The power of the mother's body is crucial to the quality of the dragon egg."
Nefarian still refused to give up.
"Don't even think about it. Even if I fry it and eat it, I won't give it to you. Listen, my dear but stupid brother, your father only gives you a call for the legion once. If you waste time pestering your sister again, , then I will go back with my men."
Onyxia issues an ultimatum.
"Okay, let's put the dragon egg thing aside and let's look at the game I mentioned before."
Faced with Onyxia's threat, Nefarian compromised on his sister.
"I actually don't really believe that those dark iron dwarves have the ability to forge artifacts against black dragons, and I don't understand what you are doing by going around in so many circles. If you want, just grab it. The power left by my father, you My men, my servants, and most of the Black Dragon Legion are gathered here, and nothing can resist our flames, not even the fire elements."
Onyxia made a declaration like a pirate queen.
"But it's not interesting enough, is it?"
Nefarian said meaningfully.
"Use the minimum cost to obtain the maximum benefit, and the victory gained amidst the pain and regret of the opponent is always particularly delicious."
"So you were going to help that Thorium Brotherhood, and then at the last moment, poof!"
Onyxia made a stabbing gesture in the back.
"That's basically it. So, will you go to the meeting in two days?"
Nefarian asked with a smile.
"That's fine, there's nothing urgent at the moment anyway, just treat it as entertainment."
Onyxia thought for a while and agreed to go with Nefarian. (To be continued.)
