"I am ready, Your Majesty!"

"For the Burning Empire!"

"Give your heart to the Empire!"

The three players immediately placed their right fists on their hearts and performed a standard imperial "loyalty salute", seizing the opportunity to express their loyalty to the Majesty in front of them.

After all, this has always been the "political correctness" of the Empire. There is even a well-known joke about the Empire on the forum:

When you don’t know what to do, just be “loyal”.

Cassius smiled but said nothing, but the players' hearts were pounding at the shock of the grand scene just now.

In the summer night and autumn rain, my mind is filled with thousands of thoughts.

"This is the main storyline!"

"The advancement of the Dragon Contract Warlock is likely related to the main storyline!"

"According to the analysis on the forum, the main plot of the first version [Northern Storm] is the rise of the empire."

"And according to the information just revealed by the leader of the faction, Cassius, the main plot of the second version - could it be disaster and conflict?"

"Perhaps it has something to do with the famous Fadlan Empire in the south, or perhaps it is an invasion by ancient demons."

"In any case, the Dragon Contract Warlock should play an important role in this."

"Great!"

"I really made the right decision to come for this advanced mission!"

Summer nights and autumn rain make my heart leap with joy.

Little did they know that this was just Cassius playing a riddle and making empty promises.

He knew that Xia Ye Qiu Yu and Mantou were very close, so he deliberately released some "forward-looking previews".

These words are used as material in Mantou’s video, and can also attract more players to join the Burning Empire camp.

"Now that you're all ready."

"Then let's begin the ceremony."

Cassius's calm words interrupted the players' wandering thoughts.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Misha nodded solemnly, took a step forward, and her golden eyes glowed with fire.

When she became a Dragon Bond Warlock, the promotion ceremony was still very simple.

Now, after improvements made by many wizards and sorcerers in the empire, the empire has developed a mature promotion process, but it has not yet been put into practice.

"Praise the supreme Burning Emperor, the noble and great True Dragon Cassius."

“He is the wrath of the mountains, the embodiment of victory and glory, the protector of commerce and trade, and the sole ruler of the Burning Empire.”

Flames leaped out of the girl's hands. The dragon language spell slowly merged into her magic as she silently chanted the name of the sect leader. Golden vertical pupils vaguely appeared in the void.

As she chanted, the three contracts slowly floated in the air.

"The Lord's Contract ritual that the Ministry of Magic found in ancient books is actually effective."

Cassius thought so.

He casually stretched out his hand and raised his eyes slightly, and a shadow several dozen meters high suddenly appeared behind him.

That was the manifestation of Cassius' true form. The red dragon looked down at the three players with its light golden vertical pupils and slowly opened its huge mouth.

"Roar--"

The long roar spread throughout Istalia.

Suddenly, the whole city was boiling with exclamations, cheers, and prayers filling every street, every square, and every building in the city.

"This is your majesty!"

"It's the voice of His Majesty Cassius!"

"Praise the great red dragon! Praise the Burning Emperor!" "Your Majesty Cassius, may my husband, who has gone to the south to open up wasteland, come back alive."

Regardless of race or identity, whether they were pedestrians on the road, workers at work, or soldiers on the shooting range, they all raised their heads and looked at the Great Altar of Istalia in the center of the city with fanatical eyes.

“Is this the power of the emperor?”

"Oh my god, the whole city is cheering."

"This advanced mission is really too exaggerated. It is worthy of being the only magic advanced profession in the empire."

The three players were also infected by the warm atmosphere and were extremely excited. The one who "loved dragons like the wind" had an even more crazy look on his face and was almost drooling at the red dragon's phantom.

"Hehehe, Lord Cassius's true form."

"Tail."

Cassius noticed the strange look from the player and his mouth twitched slightly, but he still continued the ceremony.

The man with black hair and golden eyes slowly stood up from the throne. A dazzling light burst out from the chest of the red dragon shadow behind him, illuminating all directions.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a second sun appeared on the Great Altar of Istalia.

"I am Cassius Klauber Norichius."

"In the name of the Burning Emperor, I grant you my power and allow you to become my servants and agents."

At Misha's urging, the three players knelt down.

After all, for them it is just a plot in the game and there is no psychological burden.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu knelt on one knee, his eyes lowered under the powerful pressure.

Information refreshed on her panel.

[You obtain the advanced career path: [Warlock-Dragon Lord]]
[You will form a contract with a rare group of giant dragons - the alien dragons.]
[These powerful beings despise all mortals, are not satisfied with the talents of dragons, and eternally pursue endless ambitions. They will grant you the power of dragons.]
[Note: Once you sign the contract, your camp cannot be changed! Your character will be influenced and even controlled by the master!]
[Do you agree to sign the contract [Yes/No]]
"Yes."

Xia Ye Qiu Yu made his choice without hesitation.

Isn't it just being a servant?

What's wrong with giving up some dignity for such a demanding career?
How many people want to be His Majesty Cassius's dog but can't find the opportunity! In other words, there's no chance to be a dog!

"Shh-"

The magic lines on the contract suddenly lit up.

The powerful force of the red dragon descends from the sky, transforming the players' blood vessels into magical base blood vessels.

The heart gradually transforms into a hot, vital dragon heart.

The three players' bodies were flashing with flames, emitting white steam with a sulfur smell, and their bodies were undergoing drastic changes in the smoke.

A faint light flickered in the dark golden vertical pupils of Summer Night Autumn Rain, and traces of scales vaguely appeared on the forehead. The dragon horns on the top of the head became more slender, and even the fingers became sharper.

Complex red lines appeared on her back and neck.

The corners of the eyes are smudged with the color of flowing flames.

"This is."

The autumn rain slowly opened its eyes on a summer night.

[You gain the following features: [Dragon Spell] [Dragon Heart]]
[【Dragon Spells】: Your Red Dragon Master has expanded the range of spells you can learn. You can accept the Master's gift and learn dragon spells from ancient times.]
[【Dragon Heart】: The power of the master has transformed your heart. You will have a magical heart and blood vessels similar to those of a giant dragon. Your physique and elemental affinity will be greatly improved.]
[Charm: 15→17]

[Physique: 11→13]

You know, these are precious attribute points!

As a player, if they ignore other avenues and only upgrade their profession, they can only allocate two attribute points for every four levels they upgrade.

“This intensity is too high.”

Xia Yeqiuyu couldn't help but sigh.
