In order to develop, a lot of non-renewable resources are consumed, which originally belonged to the Wizarding World, and now they are all gone.
Their resistance has gradually strengthened along with the progress of civilization.
Even in the most prosperous times on Earth, such as during the Tang and Han Dynasties or the Mongol Empire that spanned Eurasia, no matter how formidable their armies were, when combined, they could not match a modern field army.
Since they have developed to a very high cultural level, their combat capabilities will also increase exponentially. They will inevitably become a resistance against the conquest of the Wizard Alliance.
Through understanding Daniel learned that the ruling group in this world known as Subhumans can be referred to as the Dragon Rider Clan. After countless years of development, they have established an inseparable close relationship with dragons.
Among them, the nobles of the Ten Great Empires are called Dragonblood Nobility, all possessing dragon blood. Even ordinary civilians possess some degree of dragon blood, varying only in its dilution. This has contributed to the robust physique of the Dragon Rider Clan.
Those who cannot display their dragon blood will never have a chance to rise.
Daniel frowned; he feared such a world dominated by a single type of power centered around Dragonblood Nobility without any other forces. This would mean that other abilities could not manifest.
If he wants to survive in this world, he must abide by its rules and become a Dragonblood Nobility, which would not be beneficial for his future aspirations to become a higher-level wizard.
After all, no matter how prosperous the Dragon Rider World becomes, it cannot compare to the Wizarding World. If he becomes a noble among Dragon Riders, how high can his achievements really be?
Fortunately, this is not too difficult for him. The Wizarding Continent already has Bloodline Sorcerers; wizards themselves possess bloodline gifts. These are inherited from previous wizards who obtained the blood of powerful creatures and used it on themselves.
He had not studied this before; he simply did not have time due to his short time as a wizard. Now that he is on a mission, he has plenty of time to try and see the differences between Dragonblood Nobility and Bloodline Sorcerers.
It seems that in order to successfully complete the mission, I need to find a way to align myself with melee combat and quickly acquire the Dragonblood lineage.
Daniel decided on his future direction and quietly left the villagers' room. By the next morning, despite everyone's objections, he set off alone.
This place is too close to the Meteorite Crater. Right now, there’s nothing to worry about, but once he develops and becomes a Second-Rank Wizard or even a Third-Rank Wizard, attracting attention from others, it’s inevitable that people will associate him with the Meteorite Crater.
Even if he tries his best to hide, who knows if there are things like mysticism in this world that could uncover his connection to the Meteorite Crater and expose his identity? By then, it would be too late for Daniel to regret; it’s better to be cautious now.
For now, he concealed his presence along the way, avoiding contact with others to prevent anyone from tracing back to where he came from, and headed towards the Bridport Empire.
The Bridport Empire is located in the easternmost part of the continent and is the most developed country in Alchemy. All empires prefer to import alchemical goods from there. Since Daniel is skilled in Alchemy, he plans to check it out.
It wasn’t until he reached the central part of the continent, the Beast Mountain Range, that Daniel confidently appeared, striding boldly down the road.
This was meant to convey to others that he previously lived in the Beast Mountain Range, which is teeming with magical beasts and rarely visited by people, making it difficult for anyone to discover his true identity.
It also explains why he could become a powerful individual in the future. After all, how could an ordinary human without any dragon blood possess such great abilities? It would inevitably raise suspicions.
Those who can live in seclusion within the Beast Mountain Range are strong among humans. If they were idle and trained a promising ordinary human, then having such skills would be quite normal.
Of course, along the way, Daniel didn’t remain idle either. He often sneaked into libraries or other people's homes along the route to browse books, gather information, and refine his plans.
The more he read, the more determined he became about his decision to become part of the Dragonblood Nobility.
Only those of Dragonblood Nobility can become true powerhouses within the Dragon Rider Clan; others, no matter how exceptional their talents may be, cannot achieve greater success in this world.
Along the way, filled with curiosity, I finally arrived at the capital of Bridport Empire, Oser City.
A competition is being held here to select talented commoners, and Daniel's goal is to become a member of the Dragonblood Nobility through this contest.
It's not that he doesn't want to hunt dragons to obtain dragon blood; it's that he cannot.
Daniel carefully examined the Dragonblood Clan's attitude towards dragons. They signed a Life Contract with the dragons, which appears to be equal on both sides, but in reality, the dragons are merely their slaves.
In fact, without the Life Contract, the lives of both parties could not be united. They might even sign a master-servant contract.
The Life Contract binds their lives together, which is an extremely domineering condition. Imagine that since human and dragon lifespans are not the same, even a weak or elderly dragon can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.
In contrast, humans only have a short lifespan of several decades. When their lives are connected, both parties' lives merge; if one dies, the other follows suit, and their remaining lifespans are shared.
The only outcome of signing such a life bond is that the dragons' lifespans are largely transferred to humans, allowing humans to live for hundreds or thousands of years, making dragons the biggest victims.
Moreover, although it seems that the Life Contract stipulates equality between both parties, the rules are so harsh that they require an additional layer beyond mere equality. But what does it matter?
After all, there is no absolute equality in this world. Even with a Life Contract, both parties share fortunes and misfortunes and depend on each other for life and death; they must share their lives, which also has loopholes!
No matter how close two people are, there will always be a hierarchy; one will have slightly more authority than the other. The conditions in the contract cannot be perfectly fair; they will inevitably fluctuate.
This Life Contract has been refined over countless years to such an extent that it is even harsher than an equal contract. All terms are completely biased towards humans; in the contract, dragons are merely given a more pleasant name. The signed Life Contract is essentially inferior to a Slave Contract.
Thus, the Life Contract is complex and variable, difficult to learn and not widely disseminated. Only a few people have mastered it, and when it comes time to sign a contract, one must seek their assistance.
Daniel searched for a long time but could not find the contract. If he wanted to sign the Life Contract, he would have to seek the approval of the state.
He was originally an illegal immigrant, and to live here, he needed to obtain a legitimate identity. There was no way he could secretly sign a contract with the Dragon Clan, especially since the dragons here were protected by the entire nation, gathering together, making it very difficult to capture one.
Moreover, although all the nobles claimed to be Dragonblood Nobility, most commoners also had dragon blood. In reality, there were not that many dragons in the world.
Even with the Dragon Rider Clan's efforts to expand, the number of dragons was still quite small compared to that of humans.
So where did the Dragonblood Nobility come from?
The Dragon Rider Clan used another method to become Dragonblood Nobility.
This traces back to the term Dragon Knight. The term Dragon Knight sounds nice; it can actually be referred to as Dragon Riders. Sometimes they also play the role of Yin Zhiping's Dragon Knight, combining both Dragon Riders and their mounts, resulting in offspring known as Half-Dragons, which are the original Dragonblood Nobility. The Half-Dragons and their descendants are what make up the Dragonblood Nobility.
This is the main reason why the Dragon Rider Clan carries dragon blood.
Of course, finding a suitable dragon is very difficult.
Legend has it that long ago, humans were merely food for magical beasts and lacked any powerful abilities. The ancestors of the Dragon Rider Clan, now known as World Guardians, accidentally discovered two dragon eggs and managed to hatch them. The two young dragons were naive and signed a Life Contract with him, binding their lives together and forming the original Dragon Rider Clan.
These two dragons were the most noble and mysterious Holy Dragons in existence, and they were both female. The three of them had relations and produced offspring.
The Guardian was astonished to find that their offspring, although human, possessed dragon blood! Moreover, they had immense potential; when they grew up, they could rival Golden Dragons and even had the potential to match their mother's strength. After all, she was one of the most noble and mysterious Holy Dragons in existence.
Thus, they had many offspring who, upon reaching adulthood, possessed the strength of Golden Dragons. These individuals combined with ordinary people and had the potential for Black Dragons; even further down their lineage, there was potential for Silver Dragons.
The Golden Dragon, Black Dragon, and Silver Dragon are the top three clans of the dragon race, and they are considered very noble beings even among the entire dragon race, with their numbers being extremely rare.
With the help of the Guardians, the Dragonblood Clan has multiplied over generations, gaining powerful strength that gradually led ordinary humans to conquer the world and dominate the Dragon Rider World.
During this process, the emergence of Dragonblood Nobility inevitably caused conflicts with the dragon race. After arduous battles, they ultimately succeeded in conquering the dragons by leveraging their overwhelming numbers, turning them into the production ground for Dragonblood Nobility.
Initially, the Dragonblood Nobility ruled over the entire human world with their formidable strength, leaving no opportunity for other humans to rise.
Later, as more talents emerged among ordinary humans, significant conflicts arose with the Dragonblood Nobility in their quest for upward mobility, nearly leading to the empire's downfall. The dragon race retaliated, and it took considerable effort to suppress them.
The empire learned from this lesson and began to hold competitions periodically to select talented individuals from ordinary humans to become new Dragonblood Nobility, serving as a compromise for them.
Now, every 0 years, the Ten Great Empires hold a competition to select talents from commoners, allowing them to sign contracts with dragons and become new Dragonblood Nobility.
Incorporating new blood is the best guarantee for the prosperity of the Dragon Rider Clan, and it also reassures talented individuals among commoners, providing everyone with a path for advancement.
