In the magic world.
On the continent of St. Mier.
The round moon hung in the sky.
A volcano had just erupted.
In the billowing smoke, a strong young man, with his mouth and nose covered by cotton cloth, shuttled through the black fog.
After passing through the poisonous smoke, the young man's blue eyes were filled with surprise.
A lot of fiery red fire elements crystals, just like rubies, appeared in his eyes.
He immediately took out metal chisels and hammers, and knocked down the fire element crystals from the hard rock.
The smoke became thicker and thicker.
The young man frowned.
He couldn't hold on any longer.
"Almost done!"
The young man murmured and immediately put more than 10 fist-sized fire element crystals into the cloth bag. Carrying them on his shoulder, he jumped over the poisonous black fog.
He ran down the mountain in one breath and stopped, gasping for breath.
Under the condition of strenuous exercise, he had just held the breath for ten minutes.
This was called the Mountain of Imprisonment.
There was no magic elements within a hundred miles, and magicians couldn't use magic here.
In addition, the environment was bad. Only the escaped criminals who had nowhere to go would come here to prolong their lives.
In fact, even if they fled here, humans wouldn't be able to live long.
Unless, they were as strong as the young man.
The young man's name was Leo, sixteen years old.
Looking at his height of nearly two meters and incomparably strong body, no one would have thought that Leo was a weak patient three years ago.
No one can ever remembered that he was a prince of the destroyed Cron Empire.
Three years ago, the strong Cron Empire fell apart in less than a month.
People thought that the reasons why the Cron Empire that had existed for thousands of years was destroyed were the sudden death of Emperor Adams Cron, mutual killing of royal families, and rebelling from principalities.
They didn't know that the emperor had made a deal with the magic dragon Clarissa to rescue his only son, Leo.
Magic dragon Clarissa, was a violent diabolic dragon sealed by Gods in ancient times.
The emperor made a contract with the magic dragon Clarissa under the persuasion of a witch.
Clarissa used her dragon blood and life to change Leo's fate, and Leo was obliged to marry her daughter.
The magic dragon Clarissa, which had been sealed for a long time, was actually dying.
It was a good deal for her.
Emperor Adams Cron was willing to risk his life and power for his son. Larissa was also willing to spend her short life in exchange for her daughter's life and freedom.
As a result, Leo, who was thirteen years old then, married to a dragon egg that the magic dragon Clarissa gave birth to.
After the vow, Leo came to the Mountain of Imprisonment with a dragon egg in his arms, escorted by his loyal servants.
Soon, the news that Emperor Adams Cron released the magic dragon was spread out.
Although demonic dragon Clarissa was dead, the Church of the Light, which claimed themselves Gods' servants, could not tolerate this.
They couldn't punish the emperor in public, but released the black witch who was imprisoned in the prison. The black witch assassinated the emperor.
"People all think that the hall of the Church is the brightest and sacred place in the world. They don't know that the darkness covered by the light is the darkest and most filthy place in the world."
"You imprisoned my father and mother's souls in hell for torturing. One day, I will step into the hell and rescue them."
"Cron Empire is the Empire created by my ancestors. I will make it stand again on the Continent of St. Mier. I would not allow the divine power to override the imperial power. The gods can't ever stop it!"
Looking at the moon in the sky, Leo made a vow again.
The Mountain of Imprisonment could not be touched by the magic power. He believed that the moon goddess could not hear his words.
The vow he made was only to strengthen his confidence instead of showing a guarantee to the gods, so that the gods could grant him some strength.
When they went down the mountain, Leo had already released the pressure on him, with a happy smile on his face.
If one wanted to achieve his goal, the first thing he had to do was to put down the hatred and pressure in his heart and maintain an optimistic state of mind.
That was what his father taught him.
Wearing a bag of fire element crystals on his back, Leo ran quickly.
In less than half an hour, he had traveled dozens of miles and returned home.
It was a valley.
The valley was about a mile wide. A river flowed in from the Mountain of Imprisonment and then went outside.
There were many green trees growing in the valley. Although the yield of wheat was not as good as that of the outside, it was enough for Leo and six servants to live.
The only bad thing was that people living here grew old very soon.
The servants who had accompanied him here were no more than forty years old. In just three years, they were as old as an old lady of fifty or sixty.
Only Leo was an exception.
"Your honor, you are finally back!"
"Your honor, is everything going well this time?"
"Your honor, I made a pot of fish soup."
...
After Leo came back, the servants all greeted him.
Leo smiled and nodded to these loyal servants.
Then, he went straight back to the cave where he lived.
There was an oval-shaped red dragon egg. It has a rough shell, and was bigger than a football.
Leo didn't understand why a body as big as the magic dragon Clarissa could give birth to such a small egg.
Certainly, because of its small size, he could bring it here conveniently.
Now in this world, except for him and the six servants, no one knew about the dragon egg.
"I don't know when you can break out of the shell. If you come out earlier, I can leave here earlier... "
Murmuring, Leo took out the fire element crystals from the bag and put them under the dragon egg, tightly close to the dragon egg.
In the past three years, Leo had done such things hundreds of times.
If all the fire elements crystals absorbed by the dragon egg were piled up together, the cave would probably not be able to hold them.
However, so many fire elements were totally absorbed by a small dragon egg!
Leo didn't know how long it would take, but he would keep doing it.
Only when his wife was hatched could he practice magic.
It must be a fire dragon, so he must would practice the magic of fire elements.
But what if the magic dragon coming out of the egg was a male?
Leo's mind was very active and he couldn't help thinking in this way.
After all, if the egg was hatched by a hen, it might be a cock, or a hen.
Thinking of that, he couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, "Ka ka~"
A crisp sound came from the dragon egg.
