The Crimson Dragon Chapter 96

Translator: Kuhaku

Claudius had seen Arnold Schwarzenegger's face before. He had the face and muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Claudius had a large mirror made by Feren's alchemy which resulted in it being a good and st.u.r.dy mirror. He was two meters tall and had an incredible physique. He first found a pair of pants and put them on. He then ordered Minerva to enter the room and let her tell the mushroom servants to make him a customized pair of pants. , After taking a humanoid form, Claudius had a beard, and his body showed human like features and did not seem to have the appearance of an elf such as a pointed ear like the silver dragon's human avatar. Claudius's hair was not long, and the face of his human form was quite familiar to him. 

“A familiar face, I always feel like I have seen it. Seems like I have a Westerners face.”

There is a limitation to his strength in his human form. His strength, agility and physical fitness have decreased, especially the strength and physical fitness.  But his intelligence was not affected. As for the variety of combat skills, they have weakened. He could not bite or use his claws and wings because they were all gone. The magic resistance was still the same. 

He reached out and took the Toga robes that Minerva had handed over, put on sandals, and looked around. “Feels a bit weird walking as a human. It is really troublesome." Claudius quickly got used to walking without a tail as balance, and then he walked along the pa.s.sage in the temple. Minerva, the leader of wisdom and war, had already prepared a room suitable for Claudius, but the throne carved out of marble still made the red dragon feel uncomfortable. But the Dragon-toothed soldiers did not pay attention to the somewhat uncomfortable expression of the king. They were neatly lined up in the huge temple of Claudius.

“Since I have become human, I can do things that I have been wanting to do for a long time.” Claudius thought.

As the general manager of the Red Dragon, Minerva would never try to harm him. She would only help him and meet all his wishes. Minerva had absolute confidence in his power. She did not think that anything on the continent of Faeren could cause damage to her master. So, without waiting for Claudius to make a request, Minerva had already prepared everything he would need. “This is the equipment you need, please review it.” The heroic female general took Claudius to a long table.

There was a whole set of armor, several weapons, and a bag. Claudius recognized that the armour has been milled with the dragon scales that he had shed, and also had been treated with alchemy syrup, which made the armor hard and tough against impacts. “These are well made!” Actually, the dragon scales were twisted into silk as if they were ivory, and then weaved into a soft armor in the active areas such as the waist and abdomen. Claudius looked at the chest area of the armor in front of him. He expressed his admiration for the craftsmanship. In addition to this half-length armor, there were also trousers that had been carefully woven with Mithril, and a pair of boots made of Mithril and leather.

Claudius tried out the armor and found it very suitable for his body, for which he greatly praised Minerva. Then he touched the weapon next to him. Because of his strength, Claudius needed a sword that was fit for him – Claudius could never be an a.s.sa.s.sin or thief. Therefore, the weapons that had been placed on the long table were basically heavy weapons or long weapons. Fortunately, the long table was carved from a piece of volcanic rock, otherwise the table would not be able to support the weight of these weapons. Claudius first picked up a big sword with both hands. This was a weapon that barbarians would normally use. The blade was about four feet in length and the handle was about 50 centimeters in length. The sword, which had been forged with a lot of fine gold, was heavier than the steel sword of the same size.

Claudius held the big sword with one hand and swung it a few times. “The balance of sword is really good! Who made this amazing sword?” He asked Minerva, the female general replied directly: “The giants who live on this island."

“Sure enough, they are excellent blacksmiths!” The red dragon sighed. Then he put down the big sword and looked at the double-edged axe. The axe was the same size and was forged with the gold. It was heavier than the big sword. Claudius tried out all the weapons one by one. He gave up on the spear, dragon gun, sledgehammer and the scepter. Even the dragonfly was put down. As for the longbow, Claudius knew that he could not aim, so he finally chose a straight-edged sword, a two-handed sword and a double-edged tomahawk and a mace as his weapons. His only regret now was that these weapons did not seem to fit in the final pocket, which was a s.p.a.ce bag, and also one of the trading items between h.e.l.l Island and the mainland. It costs a lot of money to buy this from merchants. 

Fortunately, Minerva had also prepared a belt to hold these weapons. Claudius picked up the belt and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then he raised his head. “Minerva! Has anyone said that you can be a good wife?” Claudius looked at the belt and noticed that the belt has an ability. The ability was that once a weapon is placed on the belt, it will shrink and the weight will disappear greatly. It will transform into a small weapon. When the user removes the weapon, it will be restored to its original size and weight.

Everything was ready and Claudius told Minerva to ready a merchant's ship to the mainland. n.o.body on the ship would know that there is a dragon on board.

Editor's note: He's finally an adult and got a human form! I just hope he doesn't keep the human form for too long , still prefer him as a dragon, especially after his recent buff. Also, it feels like it's getting harder to edit as these chapters go on… .sigh, Chinese TLS ain't nice.
