I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 18 The Growth of the True Dragon

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuan drove his wings to circle high in the sky, patrolling the surrounding territories.

For the red dragon Helganon, soaring high in the sky is like breathing, and it is just something that can be done for granted.

But for Li Yuan who traveled into this body, this kind of experience is still full of freshness.

Like most humans, he had fantasized about flying freely in the sky without any external objects.

The sun rises from the east, casting golden light on the earth.

Li Yuan landed on the top of a mountain, overlooking his territory condescendingly.

From here to the south, the Longkou Fortress across the mountain pass is the territory of the Longji Empire.

In the mountains to the southwest there was a tribe of dwarves.

To the east is the Breeze Forest, and further down is the territory of the wood elves.

The northwest direction faces inland, transitioning from the forest to the grassland, and then to the desert. There are some sporadic forces and settlements of different races. It seems that there is an entrance to the dark region, and there are also territories of other giant dragons.

The red dragon Helganon found a living space in this borderland.

Li Yuan turned his neck and observed his body carefully with the light of the rising sun.

It's really a little different...

He left the tower early in the morning, not just to experience flying and inspect the territory, but mainly to check his body.

Yesterday he turned into a giant dragon and lay down on his treasure to sleep—probably because of the red dragon's instinct, he always felt that sleeping like this was the safest way to sleep.

As a result, he woke up before dawn.

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with his body.

It's not that he's uncomfortable, it's better to say that he feels that his condition is surprisingly good, and even the two wounds left on his body during the day's battle have almost recovered.

He just felt that his body was a little different, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Could it be the influence of this tower?After this idea came up, he summoned the stone to ask.

When he first called out the stone, he was really taken aback.

"Why does it feel like you have grown bigger?" At that time, he looked up and down at the stone that appeared in the cellar.

When the stone was summoned for the first time, the stone was only half a person tall, not much different from a child. Once it was split, it was almost like a doll. The overall combat power can only be used to drive away wild dogs.

Now, the stone has grown to a height of about 1.6 meters.

"Reporting to the master, I will adjust my operation according to the energy level of the Infinity Tower. After Miss Zhenna moved in, the energy supplied to the Infinity Tower has also increased, so I slightly increased the operating power to provide better services. If you want, I can also adjust back to the original body shape to reduce consumption." Stone replied respectfully.

"No, that's fine." Li Yuan ignored the matter for the time being, and brought up the topic, "I have a question to ask you..."

After he threw out his question, Stone immediately gave an answer:
"Ah, I think this is normal, my lord. You and the Endless Tower are symbiotic, and now the progress of the Endless Tower's restoration has increased. If your strength has enough room to grow, it should grow accordingly."

After hearing this answer, Li Yuan suddenly remembered the very beginning of the book of authority:

The double-page picture had his dragon form on one page, the Tower of Infinity on the other, and a chain representing the symbiotic contract connecting him to the tower.

He called up the book of authority again to check that page, and found that the content on it had changed:

On the page where the Infinity Tower was drawn, the fifth floor of the tower shimmered faintly.

As for the page with the giant dragon... He always felt that the red dragon in the painting had slightly changed from the first time he saw it.

"Where is this increase in power specifically reflected?" Li Yuan asked Shitou.

"This depends on your own situation, Master." Stone replied.

"What do you mean?"

"The Infinity Tower is bound to one of your original strengths. For example, if your original strength is a profession with the blessing of the gods, such as a paladin like Miss Zhenna, then with the restoration of the Infinity Tower, the realm of your class will also increase, from beginners to legendary experts, and even reach the realm of God." Stone replied.

"But I don't have that kind of power." Li Yuan frowned slightly.

"A person who has no original strength at all cannot undertake the symbiotic contract. You have no rank, which only means that your original strength is different." Shito explained.

"You mean, it belongs to the power of a real dragon?" Li Yuan came to his senses, "But what about the power of a dragon..."

Growth - he didn't say the last two words.

He realized he had asked a stupid question.

There is no mystery in the power growth of a real dragon. Dragons are naturally powerful creatures. From the time they are born out of their shells, their strength will naturally become stronger as they age.

From young dragons to young dragons, there are teenagers, adults, adults, old age, extremely old, ancient dragons, ancient dragons, and then the ancient dragons that even the legendary powerhouses can hardly compete with.

"Could it be that my body will grow after the Infinity Tower is repaired?" Li Yuan asked the stone.

"There has never been a precedent for a dragon to serve as the tower master in the past. I can only say that from the current situation, it is probably like this." Shitou's tone remained flat.

"In that case, will my lifespan be shortened?" Li Yuan asked casually.

"My lord, as long as the root magic circle of the Infinity Tower exists, you will be immortal, and your body will always be in its peak state. Please rest assured." Stone replied respectfully.

This answer can't make Li Yuan feel at ease, he doesn't really care about life expectancy, and the question is just casual.

There are very few real dragons in this world who can live to the end of their lives. He is not sure how long a real dragon has.

According to the information stored in Helganon's memory, there seemed to be real dragons over [-] years old in the past. Even if the Tower of Infinity really compressed the thousands of years between his adult dragon and the ancient dragon, he still has a few lifetimes of ordinary people to live.

What's more, compared to this kind of world where danger will come at any time, of course he still wants to return to the original world, food, entertainment... the most important thing is relatives and friends, and naturally he cannot give up easily psychologically.

It doesn't make sense for the root magic circle to make him immortal. Even if there is no life limit, he will still die if he is killed. After all, the regeneration function of the root magic circle is currently unavailable.

How many years he can live in this world probably depends on his ability to protect himself.

After provoking the empire's de facto ruler, Princess Frederick, he needs to worry about this especially.

But now, after carefully observing the scales on his body under the sun, Li Yuan was finally convinced that his body should have grown by 40 to [-] years.

The dragon's memory is excellent, and he can even clearly remember how many gold coins he has piled up in his treasure.

He also remembered the characteristics of the scales on his body. The red dragon's scales would become larger and more numerous with age, and the color would become darker and darker.

If it is a subtle growth, he may not be able to notice the difference immediately.

But with decades of growth emerging overnight, the difference is stark.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan decided to simply test his current strength here.

He took a deep breath and began to breathe out.
