  [Current level cap for 【Crimson Scaled queror】: Level 8]

  [Additional traits await further stru and unlog—]

  "This power level definitely makes it one of the stro early-game warrior subcsses."

  "And with the flight capability, hmm."

  "It’s practically overpowered."

  Cassius thought to himself.

  "I’ll definitely charge pyers a hefty price for this."

  Cassius was already calg how to profit from the future influx of pyers.

  In the 1.0 version, where pyer levels were capped at 8, martial csses were still popur, and the powerful traits of the 【Crimson Scaled queror】 would attraumerous strength-focused pyers.

  Besides, in the eyes of certain pyers with uastes, turning half-dragon was hardly ugly—if anything, it was a mark of allure.

  In his past life, after the “dragonborn” race was introduced, certain yellow-and-bck websites were flooded with strange videos, showg the fervor and obsession of these dragohusiasts.

  In an era without widespread flight spells ravity magic, flying monsters were pyers’ nightmares, as evidenced by the thousand-plus pyers whled in vain against a certain red dragon boss.

  The flying mounts and aerial abilities of the 【Crimson Scaled queror】 subcss would undoubtedly drive pyers into a frenzy to acquire it.

  Cassius reviewed the panel for a long time.

  During this time, the half-dragon man remained kneeling on the ground, awaiting orders without pint.

  Finally, after reading all the information, Cassius said:

  "Stand up."

  Alger slowly rose, his clothes torn pletely, leaving his body covered only by scales.

  Cassius observed his half-dragon, half-human form and said:

  "For now, you will carry out patrol duties. Additionally, I need you to train more knights like yourself within Ember . Humans, hobgoblins, lizardfolk, Tieflings—anyone you deem talented be chosen."

  "Master, it’s challenging. It may take a lot of time, and the success rate will be very low."

  "At Northwind Fortress, I trained for ten years. Out of the initial hundred selected, only six succeeded in the end."

  "And your current followers..."

  "Five me, but they wouldn’t even pass the first sele round back then."

  Alger responded holy.

  "Just do what you . Iure, many... special individuals will join."

  "They will show you what true natural talent looks like."

  Cassius said with fidence.

  Although Alger was unaware of the arrival of pyers, seeing his master’s certainty, he obeyed with respect.

  "Yes, Master."

  Alger then mounted his dragon-blooded giant eagle, s into the air, heading out of the cave.

  "Caw—"

  The dragon-blooded giant eagle, eager to finally see sunlight after so long, let out loud eagle cries, now carrying a hint on roar.

  Cassius watched Alger ride the giant eagle into the distance, exhaling a sulfurous breath.
