Chapter 845 Methods to Conquer the Thunder Dragon

“Okay, Brother Youlan!” Fenglin Shulan looked at her cousin and quickly straightened up and sat up properly.

"Let's eat. Don't be so nervous. Dragons are magical creatures. Just show him your truest self!" Fenglin Youlan said gently, taking a calm approach to whether Fenglin Shulan could win the favor of this Purple Thunder Dragon.

It's not unusual for a family's guardian dragon to go for hundreds of years without finding a suitable knight, considering that for a dragon with a lifespan of nearly ten thousand years, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye.

"Relax, girl. No one will blame you even if you fail!" Lilith ruffled Maple Forest Shulan's hair from the side.

Maple Forest Orchid knew that for her younger sister, this Purple Thunder Dragon might be the best dragon she could contract, but it was definitely not the most suitable dragon for her! Like Maple Forest Xi Lan, who inherited the family's Light attribute, Maple Forest Shu Lan's best mount should be a Light attribute dragon. However, the country was no longer the vast empire it once was, and this Purple Thunder Dragon was their only choice.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The McDougal family's affinity for light attributes with lightning dragons is generally not very strong," Maple Forest Orchid comforted her.

"Okay, brother." Shulan nodded obediently.

……

"Do you think she can succeed?" Lilith asked Maple Forest Orchid curiously, after all, Maple Forest Orchid was the Dragon Knight Commander and had a natural authority in this area.

"I don't know. Our family has very few lightning dragons. The McDougal family has the most light dragons." Maple Forest Orchid shook his head. As the family head, he didn't know if Shulan could succeed. After all, the McDougal family didn't focus on lightning and fire dragons like the Anthony family.

"Oh! That's right! I can go ask Caslo!" Maple Forest Orchid slapped her forehead and suddenly realized.

"Huh? Is Caslo a member of the Anthony family?" Lilith asked in surprise. How could Caslo have married into the family in just one afternoon?

“His wife is! He should know something about how to defeat the Thunder Dragon, after all, they’re family!” Maple Forest Orchid quickly convinced herself.

"..." Lilith frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Sleep well, goodnight!" Maple Forest Orchid tucked Lilith in before returning to the dining room to tidy up the messy table and organize all the items.

……

"..." Caslo stared at Maple Forest Orchid in front of him without saying a word, just silently watching him.

"Hey, hey, say something! What's going on? What should we do in this situation?" After staring at each other for a while, Fenglin Youlan was the first to give in. He punched Caslo on the shoulder and pressed for an answer.

“Do I look like I know anything? The Anthony family is the Anthony family! The Caslo family is the Caslo family… Wind Dragon, maybe I can help, but Thunder Dragon, you really need to go find Ajax… no! I mean, go ask Dos Anthony!” Caslo gave his advice.

"Okay! I'll go ask!" Knowing she had visited the wrong temple, Maple Forest Orchid didn't hesitate and rushed into the city's magic hub, finding Adolf Heinrich on duty.

"Please, Your Excellency Adolf, help me contact Ms. Ajax or Mr. Doss!" Maple Forest Orchid said politely.

"What's wrong? Is something urgent?" Adolf Heinrich asked casually while connecting to the magic circle. "Well, Shulan is trying to defeat that thunder dragon, and I hope to get help from the Anthony family!" Maple Forest Orchid said bluntly without any hesitation.

"Okay, wait a minute!" Adolf Heinrich sealed the magic envelope, and the next second it disappeared with a flash of magic circle.

……

In the city of Swiftflow, Yun Feng, who was in charge of the central government, was much more relaxed now. Since Duke Joelsteria arrived, Yun Feng felt like he was finally a person again! He was no longer Roland's beast of burden.

"Whoosh!" He unfolded the letter and began to read it (he had to check all unsealed letters).

"Hmm? Is the kingdom going to have another dragon knight?" Yun Feng said thoughtfully.

"Please inform Lord Dos Anthony that someone is looking for you in Lagrange City!" Yun Feng said to the mage beside him. After all, Yun Feng couldn't be the one running errands and calling people, could he?

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, the mage beside him immediately strode outside.

……

In the afternoon, just as Maple Forest and Orchid were getting moldy from waiting, a reply finally came from Swiftstream City: Dos Anthony, who had been on patrol outside, had just returned.

"Your reply!" Adolf Heinrich handed Dos Anthony's reply to Maple Forest Orchid.

"Need to demonstrate perseverance and strength? Thunder dragons expect their partners to be brave and straightforward. Recklessness is not a derogatory term in the eyes of thunder dragons..." Maple Forest Orchid looked at the introduction given to her by Dos Anthony and suddenly felt a headache coming on. Shulan, that quiet girl, didn't seem to fit any of the above descriptions.

"Forget it! Let's try anything as a last resort..." Fenglin Youlan shook her head, deciding to go see her cousin and tell her the information. The rest is up to the Dragon God's blessing.

……

"This is the method the Anthony family used to subdue the Thunder Dragon. We owe them a favor. Take a good look at these things; I hope they will be helpful to you!" Fenglin Youlan rubbed Fenglin Shulan's head, leaving the two little girls alone.

Maple Forest Orchid never doubted the authenticity of what the Anthony family gave her. Putting aside the fact that the two clans shared the same lineage, it was normal for the Dragon Commander clan, the highest-level Dragon Knight clan, to exchange information. For the Eternal Dragon Knight clan (a clan that has produced a Dragon Knight in every generation since its first Dragon Knight, without any interruption!), the method of conquering dragons was the core secret that maintained their advanced status. They kept it strictly confidential from outsiders, but the Dragon Knight clans had been exchanging and sharing these experiences internally. For them, sharing experiences was the best way to maintain the clan's competitiveness.

“Okay, brother!” Fenglin Shulan called him brother sincerely. As a pure-blooded member of a noble family, she knew that this experience would come at a high price. In fact, Dos Anthony, who had no need for the McDougal family’s dragon-riding experience, asked Fenglin Youlan for a favor as payment for this information. This meant that one day, if the Anthony family was willing, Fenglin Youlan would have to stand on their side!
……

"Looks like you're making good progress!" Fenglin Xilan looked at the strategy guide that Dos Anthony had given Fenglin Shulan with great interest under the spotlight.

"The Anthony family is quite good, they are indeed meticulous in the details... No wonder they are a family that has been immersed in the lightning and fire dragon race for many years..." Zhui Guang grinned. He could only say that the Anthony family had indeed grasped the characteristics of the two types of dragons very well over the years, and their summary of the details was also very accurate. For a novice dragon knight, they were a priceless treasure.

"Next time you can try to be bolder in your approach. That thunder dragon doesn't seem to be ruling you out! But it's best to be gentle! Be bold when you touch it! Those idiots don't like hesitant knights!" Chasing Light suggested based on his understanding after reading the article.
