Chapter 194 The Joy of Growing Up (Part 2)
One by one, the young dragons, heads drooping, lined up and moved in front of Thor, plucked the most magical scale from their hearts, and used the seeping blood to sign their true names on the contract before them, stroke by stroke.
An invisible force quietly spread out at this moment, subtly merging into the unseen rules of the world.
From now on, no matter where these young dragons hide, Thor, holding the contract and the scales, will be able to easily find their tracks through this invisible connection.
This method was obtained by Thor after paying many favors in exchange for it from Alan. Ordinary dragons wouldn't have such complex concepts passed down in their minds.
Its original purpose was to allow adult metal dragons to locate young dragons, keep track of their movements and safety, and protect the young dragons on their path to growth.
But power, if used in a different way, can turn the steel originally used to create delicious kitchen knives into a deadly weapon.
Whenever a young dragon completes its contract, Thor will exchange it for a Dragon Crystal and hand it to them.
These poor little creatures, enslaved since childhood, had never seen such a good thing before. The greed in their true dragon bloodline was instantly aroused, and their mouths almost watered.
Seeing them clutching the dragon crystals tightly to their chests, as if they were planning to find a safe place to hide them, Thor's lips curled into a cruel grin.
"Fools! These magic crystals aren't for you to collect like treasures. They're for you to grow faster so you can contribute more power to the great Thor!"
Now! Immediately! Right now! Eat it!
The merciless command was like a thunderclap, instantly freezing all the young dragons in place.
As Sistana and Calp felt all this familiarity, a long-lost sense of frustration and anger welled up in their hearts, and for a moment they felt as if they had returned to the days on that little hill.
The blue, green, and black dragon hatchlings stared intently at the dragon crystals in their arms, their eyes filled with deep reluctance.
Only the white dragon, whose intelligence is not very high, behaves like a wild beast that acts on instinct. It only cares about hunting, survival, territory, and power, and has never cared much about wealth.
So when Thor gave the order, they barely hesitated before stuffing the dragon crystal, which was radiating intense energy, into their mouths.
Their survival instincts told them that storing food was a foolish thing to do when they were not strong enough and surrounded by powerful enemies; only what they ate truly belonged to them.
With the white dragon taking the lead, and with the oppressive aura emanating from Thor, the other young dragons had no choice but to reluctantly swallow the greatest fortune they had ever acquired.
The feeling was like taking out a huge loan for the rest of their lives, only to use it to eat a top-quality yellow croaker maw and white truffles. For these young dragons, it was worse than the death of their entire family.
They all kept their heads down in silence, enjoying the feeling of energy being released and nourishing their bodies, while cursing Thor in their hearts.
These intense emotions fell upon Thor, and were completely absorbed by the giant wheel in his mind. The little bit of essence he had just used to exchange for the dragon crystal was quickly replenished.
What is this called? Feeding the hunting dogs with the prey they catch, so they can grow stronger and serve you better?
Thor once again felt the power of the giant wheel in his mind, not in the various monster templates, but in the exaggerated ability to conjure up objects through mental power.
After signing contracts with all the young dragons, Thor sent them back to work.
Red dragons are naturally compatible with fire and can withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for smelting metals.
Blue Dragon was skilled at mining, so he was sent to mine ore and dig tunnels.
They are naturally compatible with wind and thunder elements, but because of the extremely arid environment in which they live, the first spell they awaken is often water creation. Therefore, they can also slightly manipulate the wind direction, control the landing point of volcanic ash, and incidentally provide drinking water sources for their territory.
Green Dragon is an expert in plants and toxins, so there's not much to say about it; it's a natural-born farm worker.
Thor distributed some of the strange plants he had drawn from the Monster Hunter world to these little snakes, hoping to see if their magic could help these plants take root and grow again in this world.
Black dragon, which is naturally compatible with negative energy and strong acids, has many uses. It can accelerate the decomposition of plants and various organic matter, improve composting efficiency, and kill pests and diseases.
The strong acid they spray can also be used as a high-quality solvent to decompose and purify substances, or to etch the surface of objects.
The remaining white dragons, relying solely on their power of ice and cold, could only go out with the hunting party, serving as natural ice-making agents and mobile cold storage.
That's why they say magic is the primary productive force. With these young dragons joining the fray, Thor felt that the development of his territory was accelerating considerably.
The dwarf Gleixtugg only had one dragon, which was enough to ignite and sustain the furnaces of the entire city. But here he had a full set of five-colored dragon whelps, more than a dozen in total.
After settling the baby dragons, Thor flapped his huge wings and took to the air, flying towards the hollowed-out hill not far away.
The enormous arena, through the combined efforts of the kobolds, grey dwarves, and numerous other races, has been fully constructed.
It's like a giant's bowl laid flat on the ground, with the rim carved with countless steps and seats, even thoughtfully divided into three rows of giant, small, and medium-sized creatures.
The flat bottom of the bowl was covered with soft loess and fine sand, which provided cushioning for the gladiators and prevented the building from being damaged in the fierce fighting.
The most eye-catching feature is the side of the arena facing the rising sun in the east, where a massive stone throne rises from the ground, nearly 50 meters long and wide, large enough for a dragon to lie on. From the throne, one can have a panoramic view of the entire arena.
Thor landed on the enormous throne, gazing at the empty surroundings, and felt as if something was missing.
He immediately summoned a group of kobolds and ordered them to move some of the treasures from his treasury to make the throne even more magnificent.

Under the spotlight, how could the mighty red dragon sleep on a shabby stone? Of course, he should have gold coins as his bed and jewels as his cushion, so that he could reach out his claws and touch wealth that ordinary creatures could never obtain in a lifetime, thus highlighting his power.
At the same time, specially made "invitations" scattered across Thor's territory like snowflakes.
Through the creatures under his command, the merchants with whom he had cooperative relationships, and even the occasional passing traveler, it spread to every corner.
The great red dragon, the favored one of Tiamat, the new king of the wilderness, the monster who rules over earth and lightning—Sol Heliozog—will choose the first servant of the world from his domain.
The stage has been set up, and the grand curtain is slowly being drawn back, welcoming the strong who seek power, the lowly creatures, the merchants who crave wealth, or simply spectators.
The ultimate winner will receive immeasurable wealth and the power to inherit a legendary legacy.
