Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

On the top of the Great Altar of Istalia, Rump held the scroll, nodded to Cassius, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the teleportation to the Fire Elemental Plane has been completed."

"You will be teleported to the suburbs of the 'Cast Iron City', where the pioneers of the empire have established a base - the Burning Embers Empire Fire Elemental Plane Office."

The teleportation is a seven-ring spell that can lead up to eight creatures to other planes, with an error of 5-500 miles from the destination.

The Burning Embers Empire did not originally master this cross-plane teleportation spell, but the "Imperial South Continent Company" sent people to trade with the court wizard of the Thracian Kingdom, and only spent 17,000 gold nars to get this spell scroll.

Thrace is now full of smoke and military funds are extremely scarce, and the Burning Embers Empire, as a country that grew up wildly in the magic wilderness, is extremely short of high-level magic resources.

The two sides hit it off.

This is the benefit of having money.

After months of research, Rump and the wizards of the Ministry of Magic have been able to reproduce this spell preliminarily, but the error is slightly larger, even up to thousands of miles.

"Master, your power is so strong that I have no doubt that you will return victorious."

"But in order to save you a lot of trouble and save you from so much trouble, I found a native guide from the elemental plane of fire for you."

"The imperial army blocked the salamander raiders sent by the fire giants to invade the country for them, and they owe us a favor."

"Green Cardoso!"

"You should fulfill the contract!"

Rump took out a magic contract and called the name.

The contract gave off a warm flame.

"Rump, the benefactor of the fire dwarves."

"Green Cardoso, the forger of the city of cast iron, is here as promised."

Suddenly, a humanoid creature with flaming hair and beard and bronze-like metallic luster on his skin appeared.

He was no more than four feet tall, short and fat, wearing a short skirt made of brass, holding a well-made iron warhammer, and hanging a number of red copper pockets on his back.

"Fire dwarf?"

Casius looked at this creature, which seemed extremely small to him, and recognized its identity at a glance.

They were dwarf-like creatures born in the plane of fire element, usually superb forging masters, and their reproduction method was quite peculiar.

The birth of a fire dwarf requires another fire dwarf to personally cast its body in bronze, and then the caster injects it with the fire of life.

It is said that the first fire dwarf was created by the dwarf god who accidentally added the fire of life when forging a bronze statue, thus creating this dwarf-like species with the essence of fire element - therefore, they are also figuratively called "copper cast fire spirits".

Because of its cumbersome casting process, the population of fire dwarves is quite sparse.

The fire dwarf named "Green Cardoso" had just adapted to the environment of the material world. When he opened his eyes, he saw the huge red dragon lying on the top of the altar, and he was immediately frightened and collapsed to the ground.

"Mo, Moradin, God."

"No way!"

"This is not an illusion! There are actually such giant dragons in the material world! Red dragons that are even bigger than the ancient dragons!"

He looked up at the red dragon's body with trembling hands, muttering to himself.

"How dare you!"

Rump scolded angrily.

"Are you fire dwarves so rude? It is your great honor to be here!"

"Standing in front of you is the supreme burning emperor, the only ruler of the Anzeta wilderness, the one who broke the silver wings, the destroyer of the frost giants, and the enemy of the abyss demons - His Majesty Kasius!"

"Fire dwarves! Is this how you treat the benefactor who saved you?"

Rump's voice was like thunder, echoing on the altar, and suddenly awakened Green from panic and shock.

But he really didn't expect it.

This empire on the main material plane - its emperor is actually a red dragon that is even bigger than the ancient dragon!

These fire dwarves live in volcanic craters and magma, looking for shining metals and gems. They rarely hear news from the outside world, and have never heard of the Burning Empire, which has just risen a few years ago.

But the military strength demonstrated by the empire is real.

What's more, there is such a ruler.

Thinking of this, the fire dwarf turned around and knelt deeply on the ground, first respectfully greeting, and then apologized repeatedly.

"Green Cardoso, meet the great Emperor Burning!"

"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty Cassius, I was just shocked by your uh."

Green racked his bronze brain, thinking about how to organize the language, and finally a few words came out of his mouth.

"Shocked by the huge body."

The fire dwarf lay on the ground, like a burning bronze block.

"Interesting little guy."

Casius just looked at this strange fire element creature with interest, exhaling a breath of hot sulfur.

These fire dwarves are excellent forging masters, very valuable in his eyes, and can be called walking human treasures.

"These guys, the Fire Dwarves, created a lot of famous equipment in their previous lives. Maybe they can be used by the Empire."

"But now, it is better to deal with the Fire Giants first."

A year ago, he sent Misha and the Empire's previous team to the Fire Elemental Plane.

The main purpose is to trade with the Kingdom of Fire Giants and obtain various rare metals and ores rich in fire energy in the local area as food reserves for his next sleep.

Yes, it is food.

As a dragon with a bloodline level close to that of his ancestors, Cassius needs to go through multiple sleeps from adolescence to youth, consuming extremely terrifying energy.

Ordinary meat food is negligible for the huge body of the red dragon, and it is difficult to meet his needs.

Cassius thought so and praised casually.

"Not bad."

"Since everything is ready, let's start teleporting."

"Yes, master."

Rumple responded quickly, and then raised the staff in his hand, and the twelve skulls on his neck all emitted fine auras.

"Attention, all groups of the Ministry of Magic, prepare to build a large-scale teleportation model for His Majesty!"

Rumple ordered loudly.

"Group 1 received!"

"Group 2 received!"

"Group 3 received!"

The spellcasters on all levels of the altar also raised their staffs together, releasing dazzling spell auras.

The sound of spells, the vibration of magic nets, and the squeeze of space filled the Istalia Altar.

"Shua——"

A large-scale and extremely complex spell model was gradually constructed, and a portal to another world several dozen meters high emerged out of thin air and appeared at the top of the altar.

For creatures of the life level of Cassius, ordinary teleportation to another world is already difficult to work, in other words, "the biological level exceeds the maximum limit of the spell."

And this time, the teleportation to another world was led by the great wizard Rump with an intelligence of 22, and dozens of imperial court wizards performed it at the same time, and their ranks were close to the ninth ring.

"Boom——"

The portal to another world slowly opened.

Even though the scale of this portal was unprecedented, it was still a bit narrow compared to Cassius's 36-meter-long body - but at least it was enough.

"This is..."

"Moradin, does this majesty want to go to the fire elemental plane in person?"

Green looked up at the portal several dozen meters high and was stunned.

Then, he felt that he was grabbed and wrapped by a giant claw that fell from the sky. The surroundings became dark, and his body could not move at all.

"Let's go, my guide."

The red dragon's thunderous voice came from the "outside world".

"No, no, Your Majesty Cassius!"

"Wait--"

The fire dwarf shouted.

But the red dragon didn't care. He just tightened his wings slightly and held the fire dwarf and went in.

Because of the devil's curse, he hasn't released his nature and fought a hearty battle for a long time.

It is said that there are many powerful creatures in the fire elemental plane. He really wants to see them-for example, the fire giants in the City of Brass and the fire elemental masters in the depths of the plane. (End of this chapter)
