180 The Alpha that amazes the dragon (seeking the moon)
There is a high probability that there are no other legends in the City of Flame Steel and the Labyrinth of Stone City.
Otherwise, the situation here would not be such a stalemate between two elemental lives.
As for the legendary creatures that come from other worlds, fancy the environment here, and have no ambitions, and live in seclusion here... maybe there are, maybe there are not, it's hard to say for sure.
In the magma pool, Garen was soaking in the hot magma while integrating and sorting out the information on the lava demiplane.
After gathering together the flesh-and-blood life clan living in the gap between the elemental giants, he was ready to take action.
It won't be long.
Almost every day, new clans come from far away to swear allegiance to the Eternal Dragon.
However, even in this difficult survival situation, not all biological clans are willing to become affiliated with other creatures, even if the other party is a powerful existence of legendary level.
This is a very normal thing.
Even if a god appears in person and displays miracles and extraordinary power, it will be difficult for everyone to believe in him.
Garen was not too surprised by this. Although he was used to the situation where the other party came to worship him, it was expected that some tribes would choose to refuse.

"You mean, there is a large human tribe living here?"
In an open space of the fire dwarf tribe, a giant silver dragon stood in it, looking at the great elder of the fire dwarf in front of him with indifferent eyes.
"Yes, their name is the Alpha Tribe, and they are the most powerful tribe among all flesh-and-blood beings in this world."
The fire dwarf elder nodded.
Alpha Tribe......strange name.
Garen thought to himself.
"That kid Rick personally went to the Alpha tribe and invited them to be protected by the true dragon."
"However, it was clearly rejected by those humans."
"They say they are unwilling to submit to the rule of any creature, even if you are a legendary creature."
The great elder of the fire dwarf explained what happened calmly.
It is worth mentioning that he spoke common language.
With the level of intelligence of the caster, although it is impossible to master a language like Galleon by listening to it once, after studying carefully for a period of time, the fire dwarf elder can already speak the common language fairly fluently.
.
"Alpha Tribe...Humanity..."
Garen remained silent, thinking in his mind.
"Have the red dragons gone?"
Garen once told that if there is a clan that refuses to come and pledge allegiance, let the red dragons go and show their strength and give the other party a chance to choose.
"Lowell and Gresha have gone and haven't come back yet, but the people of the Alpha tribe are not afraid of the power of the Fire Dragon, and their attitude remains the same."
"So after learning about this situation, I immediately came to report to you."
It seems that I have to take action myself... Garen's eyes were calm.
"Is it a pure human, or a genasi?"
he asked.
The genasi in Garon's mouth is not an elemental life, but a flesh-and-blood life that is affected by the power of the elements, the genasi.
In addition to the direct influence of elemental energy that will produce elemental descendants, it is also possible that the ancestors had an indescribable relationship with a very powerful elemental spirit, giving birth to special descendants who were born with elemental power, and they reproduced from generation to generation.
Then, a special ethnic group was formed.
It is not difficult for genasi to live in the corresponding elemental planes and quasi-planes.
Whether they are independent or choose to rely on the elemental djinn, genasi can live a prosperous life.
So Garen asked.
Because in his opinion, it is almost impossible for ordinary human groups to survive in such a demiplane.
"The people living in the Alpha tribe are pure humans, not genasi."
There was a hint of incredible wonder and envy in the voice of the fire dwarf elder, and he added: "The humans of the Alpha tribe can survive in such an environment because one-fifth of them are spellcasters."
"The Alpha tribe of thousands of people has more than 200 spellcasters, and all of them are fire spells that control flames."
When he heard the fire dwarf chief elder say that the people in this tribe were not elementals, but pure humans, Garen was surprised, thinking that these humans might have something special about them.
After hearing his next words, Garen's surprise turned into consternation.
"One fifth of spellcasters?"
He asked emphatically.
The fire dwarf elder had a look of helplessness on his rough face and said: "This is hard to believe, but it is the truth."
"There are so many spellcasters in the Alpha tribe, so many that it's incredible. This may be because they have some kind of special bloodline."
It can be seen that when he said these words, the face of the fire dwarf elder was full of envy.
Spellcasters are always noble and powerful, but not everyone can become a spellcaster.
There are more than 800 fire dwarves in the Firebeard tribe, but only a handful of them have the talent to cast spells. The ratio cannot even reach one percent. This has something to do with the dwarves themselves, but mainly because of the spell casters.
The level of intelligence required is sky-high.
"One fifth is really a terrible ratio."
"If the number of people is enlarged to the national level and this ratio can be maintained, how strong will the national strength be?"
Garen thought to himself.
In the human country of Noah's continent, when Timo was at its most prosperous, the proportion of spellcasters was less than one-fiftieth.
In Netheril, that glorious magical empire mentioned in The Romance Paladin, the proportion of spellcasters is about one-ninth.
The Alpha tribe only has a thousand people, but it can have more than two hundred spellcasters... This number may not be available in some small countries, but it appears in a tribe with only a thousand people.
Garen exhaled and gradually calmed down.
At the same time, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he thought of the shadow of time seen from the stone door.
"Are they the descendants of those mages?"
Gallon remembered that at the end of Shadow of Time, some casters who used fire entered the stone door and left the planet destroyed by the violent hurricane.
"Probably."
They are both spellcasters who are proficient in fire spells, and they are all related to the lava demiplane. If there is no relationship between them, it would be too much of a coincidence.
"A human tribe with such talent and history cannot be let go."
Garen's eyes were bright, and a smile that was determined to win appeared on his face.
He still has no human dependents. Krichins and Fred are temporarily following him because of their oath. When the time comes, they will probably return to human society and cannot be regarded as dependents.
But high level casters are very useful.
Leave a lot of things to them, Galleon doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Therefore, Garen is eyeing the Alpha Tribe, which has a spellcaster ratio of one-fifth.
By conquering this tribe, he can get a group of spellcasters of his own, which will be a big help in managing the lava demiplane in the future.
"Tell me the location of the Alpha Tribe."
After thinking about this, Garen said in a deep voice to the great elder of the fire dwarf.

In the central area surrounded by several towering volcanoes, there is a small human tribe. Rows of houses are arranged in an orderly and tight manner, with flaming red mage towers standing upright in the middle.
This is the Alpha Tribe.
Many human spellcasters, whose bodies are surrounded by elemental auras, are looking up at the sky in the tribe below.
Their expressions were slightly serious, neither relaxed nor serious.
Under the flaming curtain of the sky, two super-large red dragons were circling back and forth violently, spewing fiery streams of heat towards the Alpha tribe from time to time.
The dragon's breath poured down in the roar of the red dragon, with a terrifying momentum that was about to burn the Alpha tribe to ashes.
However, when the scorching flames were about to fall, the spellcasters of the Alpha tribe remained calm and cast spells together, locking the breath of the red dragon and shooting out streaks of red light from their fingertips.
The violent flame dragon's breath was hit, and it twisted violently at this moment, and then exploded into scattered sparks all over the sky. They scattered in all directions, lost their condensed power, and rained down a red fire.
The fire rain was easily intercepted by the barrier formed by magic power.
"Damn it, you humble humans!"
Lowell and Gretha were very angry now.
Because of the invincible dragon's breath, it was dispersed by the opponent without being able to spit it out.
At first, they wanted to repeat their old tricks, destroying some of the opponent's houses and buildings to show off their unrivaled power, and then use this to make the opponent fear and surrender. But what the red dragons did not expect, they breathed out dragon breath.
, but the dragon's breath cannot fall.
It doesn't matter if it is blocked by a barrier or other protection. We encounter this situation many times.
But what makes the red dragons find it difficult to accept is that those humans actually have the means to directly disrupt and disperse the flame dragon's breath in the middle, making them unable to spray completely.
Not a single building in the Alpha Tribe has been destroyed.
They all stood in place perfectly.
For the red dragon, this is tantamount to a challenge to his own dignity.
The arrogant red dragon encountered this situation for the first time. He couldn't bear the grievance, so he continued to breathe the dragon's breath without believing in evil. Although his throat was dry and smoking, he still kept breathing.
However, although the pressure on Alpha's spellcasters increased greatly, under their unknown spells, the red dragon's breath was unable to have an effect.
"Powerful red dragon, we just don't want to become vassals of other creatures."
"Please stop pressing me every step of the way."
A tall female spell caster with black hair and red eyes frowned slightly and spoke dragon language, and her voice reached the ears of the red dragon.
Her face is beautiful, her exposed skin is a healthy wheat color, and her body has a wild beauty that seems to be filled with flames.
But such words obviously cannot calm the red dragon's anger.
"Swear surrender to the Eternal Dragon, or be turned into ashes, you have no other choice!"
The red dragon roars, unwilling to give up.
"Anya, they are just two adult red dragons. Just drive them away. There is no need to talk nonsense with them. It is not their turn to run wild here."
A middle-aged male spell caster snorted heavily and said in a grumpy voice.
The female spell caster named Anya wears a red robe with clusters of burning flames carved on it. The robe is relatively loose, but when the hot wind blows, it sticks to her body and outlines the figure.
Quite a graceful figure.
Judging from the intensity of the spiritual light lingering around her, she was clearly a high-level spell caster.
"Dart, have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors?"
"We should control the flame with calmness, stay calm and rational at all times, avoid fights and conflicts, and not be as irritable and irritable as the flame."
"Otherwise we will just repeat the same mistakes."
Anya said with a calm voice.
The middle-aged spellcaster's face froze, as if he was a little afraid of Anya. After being scolded, he immediately stopped talking and remained silent, and then stared at the red dragon hovering in the sky with a very unhappy look.
"Mighty red dragon, this is just a waste of your time."
"You two calm down first, and we will discuss this matter carefully."
Anya said in a soft voice that was inconsistent with her temperament.
The red dragon refused to listen, and still breathed dragon breath without believing in evil, and got into trouble with the spell caster here, bent on turning the buildings of the Alpha tribe into ruins in the sea of fire.
Such a single-minded red dragon made the high-ranking female mage have veins on her forehead, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
call!
Clusters of flames burned out of thin air, wrapping around Anya's tall and graceful body. The bright firelight made her face turn red.
Anya gently stroked Ao Ren's chest and took a few deep breaths, and the veins on her forehead gradually disappeared.
She seemed not to be affected by the red dragon's words at all, and said calmly and in a soft voice: "We have heard about the existence of the Eternal Dragon. Why don't the two noble red dragons go back first? The Alpha Tribe will visit immediately."
When Gallon was mentioned, Lowell and Gretha regained some sense.
But they were still very angry.
A small human tribe is not afraid of the great red dragon at all.
And... the number of spellcasters here is a bit too much, and there is also a high-ranking spellcaster of unknown depth. If it is not a real war and just wants to cause destruction, among these spellcasters
It is really difficult to do it under the protection of the people.
But like the female mage said, it's definitely not possible to go back without accomplishing anything.
The red dragons didn't want to leave a bad impression on Garen as he was incompetent in handling affairs and couldn't even deal with such a trivial matter as conquering his dependents.
Lowell bared his fangs, looked ferocious, and said, "No, you..."
