Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 550 - 550 548 Cloud Dream Marsh Small Oasis

Chapter 550: Chapter 548 Cloud Dream Marsh Small Oasis Chapter 550: Chapter 548 Cloud Dream Marsh Small Oasis After arriving at Fire Ant Swamp, Russell left the caravan behind, along with the Black Oil Dragon Ross and the Pseudo-Nightmare Beast Dragon Senbula to continue with the caravan.

He rode on the Sacred Unicorn Polly, with Hape, who had transformed into the Master of the Storm insignia, and headed straight for the Blackflame Plains.

There was no sound of howling winds.

All around were flickers of silent lightning, and Russell and Polly, rider and steed, streaked across the sky like a bolt of golden lightning.

“The speed is really fast!”

Overlooking the land below, Russell exclaimed with delight; he and Polly, having ascended to Phantom Dragon Knights, had stepped into a new realm of speed.

“Polly, we must be at least Mach 3!”

“What is Mach?”

“Mach is the speed of sound. 1 Mach is the speed of sound, 2 Mach is twice the speed of sound, 3 Mach is three times the speed of sound. Our current speed must be at least three times the speed of sound!” In truth, Russell didn’t understand what Mach was either, only knew that Mach equaled the speed of sound.

The concept of the speed of sound didn’t even exist on the Dragon Sleep Continent, so these terms were entirely defined by Russell at random.

Therefore.

Moments later, the Phantom Dragon Knight traveling at Mach 3 arrived in sight of his own domain, the Blackflame Plains.

Thick smoke rolled out from dozens of chimneys, continuously emitting into the sky.

On the black tar roads, there were cars billowing smoke as they drove, and Russell even spotted an experimental railroad track being constructed in the open spaces near the Black Oil Mine, with a steam locomotive slowly moving along it.

During his absence, the development of Blackflame Plains had not ceased for a moment.

“Having Big Brother Roland manage the territory was the right move.” Russell shook his head smilingly. After facing setbacks, the once troubled Roland had finally found his calling and became a competent steward of the land.

He didn’t stop at Blackflame Plains.

Crossing Cigar Castle, Russell continued to ride Polly eastward, but before reaching Thunder Marsh, he noticed a difference in the territory.

“Polly, ascend!”

“Alright.”

As Polly kept climbing towards the sky, Russell could oversee the entire Thunderflame Territory and Glowing Territory: “Do you see it, Polly? Centered on Thunder Marsh, a small Volcanic Oasis is shaping up! At least 60,000 square kilometers!”

“I see it, and I can feel my bloodline power radiating through Thunder Marsh and out into the surroundings!” Polly softly replied.

Previously, Glowing Territory and Thunderflame Territory were an imperfect oval.

In the center was Blackflame Plains, with Glowing Valley to the west, Thunder Marsh to the east, and Qinqiu to the south. After warm resonation, a huge territory was formed—at least 30,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than Tributary River Mouth.

And now.

Thunder Marsh had become the center of the territory soon to be opened up, with the power of the Phantom Dragons radiating and beginning to reclaim the surrounding snowfields.

To the west, the power extended to Glowing Valley and then ceased, which meant that Glowing Valley underwent little change in this expansion. To the southwest, it basically stopped at Qinqiu, and to the northwest, it pushed out quite a bit beyond Blackflame Plains.

The most significant change occurred to the east of Thunder Marsh. Initially, the area was all snowfields, but now, the snowfields were melting rapidly, extending the domain by at least a hundred kilometers.

With that.

The new territory perfectly formed an egg shape, with the narrow end being Glowing Valley and the rounded end the snowfields to the east of Thunder Marsh.

“It’s a small oasis, Polly. Aside from no volcanic eruptions, you’re no different from a giant dragon, haha.” Russell laughed heartily, then asked, “By the way, Polly, giant dragon power can spread past the Volcanic Oasis into the snowfields, can you?”

Polly carefully sensed her surroundings in the sky, and then, with a touch of disappointment, shook her head: “I’m afraid not. My bloodline power can only radiate to the edge of the territory and can’t penetrate deep into the snowfields… After all, I am not a true giant dragon, just a Phantom Dragon.”

“You’re already doing great, cheer up Polly; we’ve stepped into a whole new realm never before trodden!”

“Yes, Russell, we are very powerful!”

“We must be strong!”

Suspended in the air above the Thunderflame Marsh, a man and his horse quietly overlooked the process of their new territory’s expansion. There was no grand spectacle, much like the time when Thunderflame Marsh was carved out, the snowfield shattered by the delicate lightning and then slowly melted.

The melted ice had already backflowed into the Thunderflame Territory, but fortunately, most of the Thunderflame Territory was barren land, so being flooded was not an issue.

Moreover, it was now the Warm Season, which would soon evaporate the meltwater.

“Let’s name this little oasis, Polly,” Russell said with a smile after admiring his new domain.

Polly shook her head, “You name it, Russell, you’re good at naming.”

“Haha, so you’ve noticed my talent, Polly, haha, then I won’t be modest,” Russell cleared his throat and said, “This oasis came to be because of you, Polly, and the Phantom Dragon’s promotion was realized through a dream…”

He paused.

He then declared loudly, “This little oasis shall be called Cloud Dream Thunder Marsh, the Cloud Dream Thunder Marsh Oasis!”

A moment later, Polly, who was admiring their new domain, suddenly said, “Russell, take off the ‘Thunder.'”

“This land has been irradiated by the power of my bloodline, but it’s not entirely my domain. Rossay, Ross, and the Harpies are also founders of this territory, and the power of the Shadowflame Dragon still radiates and covers this place,” explained Polly softly.

“It is not a domain carved out solely by the power of the Thunder element, so let’s call it the Cloud Dream Marsh Oasis.”

“That sounds good, I’ll listen to you,” Russell reflected, finding Polly to be so understanding that it was heartbreaking, embodying truth, goodness, and beauty.

Contracting with Polly, in Russell’s view, was the most correct decision of his life, second only to his greatest fortune after the Little Dream Dragon.

After the sentiment.

The man and horse descended from the clouds, landing in the midst of the Thunderflame Marsh.

On the Cloud Dream Ranch, warhorses were a common sight, but the majority were white, as Lord Roman and Brother Roland had spent a great deal of money collecting white horses from all over Shadowflame Duchy, in hopes of riding a Pseudo-Unicorn Dragon as soon as possible.

They managed to assemble a group of white horses.

“By the way, Polly, now that you’ve reconciled with yourself, will the power of your bloodline still only affect white horses?” Russell suddenly inquired.

After sensing for a while, Polly said, “It seems to still only affect white horses. Other colors, including mixed-colored horses, aren’t infected by my bloodline… Maybe when Senbula evolves, black horses will have the same effect.”

“That’s quite interesting, could it be due to genetic selection?” Russell mused, finding the supernatural world truly baffling.

“Lord Russell?” A knight patrolling the Cloud Dream Ranch sped towards Russell, who had landed by the edge of Cloud Dream Lake.

Dismounting, the knight pounded his chest in salute.

Russell glanced at the newcomer and casually replied, “Hello, Raphael.”

The man was Raphael, the Messenger Knight from the Glowing Valley, who no longer served as a messenger and had been transferred to manage the Cloud Dream Ranch.

“Lord Russell, starting two days ago, there were huge changes across the entire territory, the snowfields beyond the Thunderflame Marsh melted extensively…” Raphael reported, “Lord Baron has surveyed the area and can’t determine the reason…”

“There’s no need to make a fuss,” Russell said with a hint of a smile. “It’s the new realm that Polly and I have opened up after becoming the Dragon Domain Lord, the Phantom Dragon Knight. The changes in the territory are precisely due to this.”

“Ah!” Raphael was stunned, not quite grasping the concept. It was beyond his understanding. “A new realm? Phantom Dragon Knight?”

“I also need to visit Shadowflame Volcano, so I won’t be going to Fluorescent Castle. Please explain that to my father on my behalf,” Russell instructed, before soaring into the sky, racing towards the true Volcanic Oasis.

The Shadowflame Dragon was eagerly waiting for him!
