Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 535: Chapter 412: New Intelligence and the "Sun Crown Stone

With Moonlight’s help, the first Knight quickly completed their contract with an Earth Dragon.

It was Lip, a Knight who also dabbled in Alchemy. Apparently, his practice of Alchemy Magic had given his Spiritual Power greater tenacity, allowing him to be the first to complete his contract with an Earth Dragon.

The appearance of the first success was like lighting a fuse.

"ROAR!"

"BELLOW!"

Across the Knight Plaza, roars erupted one after another.

One after another, the Earth Dragons lowered their proud heads.

One after another, the Mammoth Giant Elephants reined in their wild auras.

The Knights opened their eyes one by one, their faces alight with uncontainable joy and excitement.

They could feel the new, intimate Soul Link connecting them to the Giant Beasts at their sides. They could feel that immense Power flowing through the contract, merging with their very being.

「Half an hour later.」

One hundred and fifty Knights.

One hundred and fifty successful contracts.

Aided by Moonlight’s Dragon Mighty, the entire process was unbelievably smooth.

When the last Mammoth lowered its head, the atmosphere in the Knight Plaza instantly transformed from dead silence to a tidal wave of fervor.

"Black Stone Territory!"

"Long live the Lord!"

It is unknown who shouted first, but immediately after, a thousand Knights raised their weapons in unison, roaring with all their might.

The wave of sound surged skyward, threatening to disperse the very clouds in the night sky.

Raylo stood on the high platform, his cape whipping in the wind.

The fervor of the contract ceremony did not fade over the following week.

The entire Black Stone Territory was immersed in a euphoric atmosphere.

The newly minted Mammoth Knights and Earth Dragon Knights spent every day in their exclusive training grounds, building rapport with their new partners.

The shouts of the Knights and the earth-shaking roars became Black Stone Territory’s most inspiring war drums.

One sunny afternoon, with a sky-piercing dragon’s cry, Sun appeared in the skies above Black Stone Territory.

Behind it followed twenty powerfully-built Griffins. They were clearly new recruits; their flight formation was still somewhat disorganized, but their sharp aura as predators of the sky was already unmistakable.

Six Sky Dragons and one hundred Pegasus Knights flanked it on the left and right.

"Sun, congratulations! The Knight Order has grown again!"

Raylo said half-jokingly to Sun as it landed in the Knight Plaza.

"Oh?"

Sun lowered its head.

"I’ve already selected twenty Knights to contract with these Griffins. They will become new members of the Sun Knights!"

Sun let out a low growl to express its joy.

"Excellent. The Sun Knight Order needs more Knights!"

...

「Several days later, at dawn.」

Morning light pierced through the tall, latticed windows of the castle, casting long patches of light on the polished floor.

Raylo opened his eyes, his mind clearer than ever before.

After a solid week of training, the one hundred and fifty new Giant Beast Knights had begun to master the basics of fighting alongside their partners.

Every morning, the great commotion of their training outside Black Stone Castle could be heard.

[Daily Intelligence Refresh]

[1: In ten days, Judicial Officer Dorunqi of the Light Holy See’s "Pure Hand," during an inspection tour, will purify a town named "Mulan Town" in the western Fiery Sun Kingdom in the name of "blasphemy" and "colluding with darkness." Over three thousand townspeople will be identified as heretics and executed.]

[2: In three days, Benasi of Red Leaf Territory, known as the "Northern Rose," will be saved by a Unicorn during a hunting trip and gain its allegiance. The Unicorn is a Tier Four Magical Beast that wields various forms of Divine Magic.]

[3: In the western Black Stone Mountain Range lies a volcano that has been dormant for a thousand years. Its long-extinct lava has recently grown scorching hot again. The volcano’s reawakening is not due to a common rekindling of earthfire, but because a "Sun Crown Stone," long sealed deep within it, has begun to stir. The "Sun Crown Stone" contains the purest Solar Power; in five days, it will fully ignite the volcano. When the volcano erupts, the "Sun Crown Stone" will be ejected along with the lava.]

[4: After winning the ’Mermaid’s Tears’ at auction, ’Blood Axe’ Aurum is lingering at the edge of the Endless Sea. Several Domain Level Powerhouses have already gone missing after infiltrating the "Deep Sea Throat." This blatant "fishing" has aroused the vigilance of interested parties. In one month, the "Deep Sea Throat" will change course, leave the Endless Sea, and visit the ruins of Seagull Port.]

[5: This world and the Giant Dragon Realm share a special attraction. On the moon, within its largest crater, a small spatial rift is gradually forming. It is expected that in one year, this rift will stabilize and become a fixed spatial passage. This rift leads to the fallen wreckage of the White Moon in the Giant Dragon Realm.]

[6: In Micro Light Castle, in the southern Thunder Dragon Duchy, Countess Cecil has recently become obsessed with a style of "Abyssal makeup," making herself look like a banshee corrupted by Demonic Qi every day. The Countess’s new hobby stems from her recently contracting a Domain Level Succubus from the Abyss. This Succubus came from a secret underground river within Micro Light Castle. Deep within this river is an unstable spatial rift, and the Succubus slipped into this world from the Abyss during an accidental expansion of the rift.]

[7: In the Mage City, the Legendary Mage Nancy, known by the title "Blue Moon," has expressed her dissatisfaction and anger over the Light Holy See’s recent, repeated calls for the extermination of Giant Dragons. She claims that Giant Dragons are the most perfect of Magic Creations and have the right to live on the Continent. Furthermore, she asserts that humans have the freedom to contract with Giant Dragons and become their partners.]
