Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 108: Green Dragon Orryn

Level 2 Green Dragon Affinity (When recruiting Tier 13 Green Dragons within your lord’s territory, the gold and resource costs are reduced by 35%. Additionally, there’s a significantly higher chance of recruiting powerful, high-quality Green Dragons—or even Green Dragon Heroes!)

A higher chance of recruiting powerful, top-tier Green Dragons... that’s exactly why he’s here! And that’s precisely what makes Cicero, a god-tier Strategic Hero, so terrifying!

Because in the world of Glory Lords X, the strength of individual units isn’t fixed.

Just like heroes, units vary greatly in strength and quality.

Some are absolute beasts, while others are total scrubs!

In fact, even among units of the same type, a particularly strong individual can easily take on two or even three average ones! Yet, the recruitment cost for units of the same tier and race remains exactly the same!

In other words, while others spend the same amount of gold and resources to summon average—or even trash—units, sometimes even getting outright rejected...

You, on the other hand, have the chance to summon the absolute beasts of the unit world! frёeωebɳovel.com

Or even a Unit Hero!

And you don’t even have to worry about recruitment rejection.

It’s a completely different league of treatment!

You can imagine just how insanely powerful this skill is!

BAM!

Just then, a staff suddenly slammed down onto the Green Dragon’s head. With a dull thud, the dragon shuddered violently, stars spinning before his eyes as blood streamed down his scales again.

Whoosh!

Before he could even react, a short figure appeared atop his head.

Casually leaning on his staff with one hand, Cicero sat down comfortably and spoke in a chillingly calm voice, "My temper might be a bit better than Seraphina’s, but if there’s a next time, I promise you’ll die a very ugly death."

Clearly, the short figure was none other than Cicero himself! Even though he wasn’t actively displaying any aura or power, the Green Dragon beneath him instinctively felt every nerve in his body screaming in alarm!

Danger! Extreme danger! He really will kill me...

At the same time, the dragon couldn’t help but feel another wave of shock and disbelief wash over him.

"An-an-another Crimson Ultimate Green Dragon Hero?!" he stammered, eyes wide with astonishment. The one standing casually on his head right now was actually another Crimson Ultimate-level Green Dragon Hero?!

Oh my god... Green Dragon Deity above, two Crimson Ultimate Green Dragon Heroes?! Is this real life, or am I dreaming? Or maybe I’ve completely lost my mind?!

BAM!

Another smack from the staff landed squarely on Orryn’s head, making him grimace in pain. Cicero spoke calmly, "Didn’t you hear what I just said?"

"Y-yes... I heard you loud and clear..." Orryn stammered, trembling beneath Cicero, nearly on the verge of tears. He quickly swore, "Great Green Dragon Hero, mighty Lord! I swear—I, Orryn, promise that if I ever disrespect you again, may demons chop me into a thousand pieces!"

"Alright, alright, Cicero. Come back here already," Ethan said, shaking his head with a helpless smile.

"That’s more like it!" Cicero stood up, clutching his staff, and hopped down from Orryn’s head, casually strolling back behind Ethan.

Truth be told, Cicero actually had a pretty mild temper for a dragon. After all, Seraphina’s "fight first, ask questions later" attitude was far more typical among dragons. But even though Cicero was usually easygoing, there was still one line you absolutely couldn’t cross—

And just like Seraphina, that line was Ethan!

If anyone dared insult or disrespect Ethan, Cicero would make sure they died a very ugly death.

Meanwhile, Seraphina had already reverted to her human form and stood silently behind Ethan, staring coldly at Orryn with a look that clearly said, "Try me again, I dare you."

Gulp.

Orryn shivered uncontrollably, swallowing nervously before immediately bowing his head respectfully toward Ethan. "Great Lord, Orryn Verdantfang of the Green Dragon Clan of Olorun humbly greets you!"

"Alright, get up," Ethan said with a friendly smile. "Relax a bit. Honestly, these two just wanted you to show a little more respect, got it?"

Yeah, right... Like I’d believe that!

Orryn couldn’t help but silently complain in his heart, though he didn’t dare show even the slightest hint of disagreement on his face.

"Yes, yes, of course! Understood, understood!"

He nodded repeatedly, looking like a frantic woodpecker. At the same time, Ethan opened Orryn’s attribute panel—but suddenly froze, his expression turning serious with surprise.

"Potential Evaluation? What’s this?"

[Green Dragon Orryn]

Tier: 13

HP: 19000

Attack: 131

Defense: 106

Damage: 232~261

Overall Potential Evaluation: Grade A

Compared to ordinary units, this Green Dragon Orryn not only had a unique name, but also an entirely new category Ethan had never seen before—Overall Potential Evaluation.

"His potential and talent seem to be higher than a regular Green Dragon..." Cicero murmured quietly beside Ethan.

Ethan paused for a second, then immediately understood.

"A hero!"

"No, not quite yet," Cicero corrected softly. "More like a special unit that’s evolving toward becoming a Unit Hero!"

In the world of "Glory Lords X," units aren’t just divided into regular troops and unit heroes.

There’s actually a third category:

Special units that are currently evolving toward becoming unit heroes!

These special units represent the absolute peak among ordinary troops, boasting incredible combat prowess and potential far beyond their peers.

Under normal circumstances, a special unit can easily take on two or even three regular units single-handedly!

But more importantly—

Special units are the essential stepping stone from ordinary troops to becoming full-fledged unit heroes!

In other words, if you’re stuck as a regular unit your whole life, your chances of ever becoming a hero are basically zero.

But once you’ve become a special unit, there’s at least a possibility of ascending to hero status...

Of course, it’s still just a possibility!

After all, in the world of "Glory Lords X," unit heroes represent the highest honor and achievement, second only to actual gods!

In fact, high-level, high-tier unit heroes can even rival the gods themselves!

That’s why becoming a hero is incredibly difficult.

And if you’re aiming to become a high-tier hero, that’s practically impossible—such beings are so rare they’re practically legends, scattered sparsely throughout the entire "Glory Lords X" universe.

So even though special units are impressive, their value still pales in comparison to actual unit heroes.

But even so, a special unit like Orryn, who clearly has the potential to become a hero, is still priceless—worth his weight in gold, or even more accurately, a priceless treasure!

Why?

Simple. Because he’s a Tier 13 Legendary Unit—a Green Dragon!

If he successfully evolves into a unit hero, he’ll start off at Crimson Ultimate tier at the very least!

And do I even need to explain how valuable a Crimson Ultimate hero is? Just look at Seraphina and Cicero, those two absolute bosses!

They’re ridiculously powerful, practically unstoppable!

Thinking about this, Ethan didn’t hesitate for a second. He turned to Orryn and said casually, "Orryn, from now on, you’ll follow Seraphina."

"Huh?" Orryn shivered, completely dumbfounded.

"What? You got a problem with that?" Ethan asked, a playful smirk on his face.

"ROARRR!!!" Behind Ethan, Seraphina immediately snarled in fury, baring her teeth and glaring daggers at Orryn. She growled menacingly, clearly itching to rip this clueless dragon apart and tear him limb from limb!

The moment Seraphina flared up, Orryn trembled from head to toe.

"N-no, no! I—I mean, yes! Of course I’m willing! It’s my greatest honor to serve under the mighty Lady Seraphina!" Orryn stammered, nodding frantically with a miserable look on his face, terrified he’d answered too slowly.

"Seraphina, Orryn’s all yours now. Make sure you train him well!" Ethan turned to Seraphina with a mischievous grin, clearly enjoying the chaos he’d just stirred up.

Of course, it wasn’t like Ethan was deliberately trying to punish Orryn.

He wasn’t that petty, nor was there any need to be. It was just that, as a Green Dragon, Orryn had only two real options: either follow Cicero or Seraphina.

Sure, following Cicero would probably mean a more relaxed, laid-back life.

But Ethan had bigger plans—he wanted Emerald Castle to produce its third Crimson Ultimate hero as soon as possible. So, taking it easy and slacking off?

Forget it. Not happening!

Maybe in another lifetime.

Besides, Cicero was the ultimate slacker himself!

Expecting him to put in the effort to seriously train Orryn, let alone groom him into a Crimson Ultimate hero?

Yeah, right.

Ethan had zero expectations there.

On the other hand, Seraphina offered at least a glimmer of hope. After all, she was a total battle maniac. Under her command, Orryn would inevitably get into countless fights and take plenty of beatings—surely he’d learn something from all that, right?

"Don’t worry, Master. From now on, I’ll make sure to train him ’properly’!" Seraphina growled through clenched teeth, glaring viciously at Orryn with a sinister smile.

Orryn shuddered again, his face collapsing into a mask of utter despair.

...

The next day, Ethan woke up and immediately logged into the game.

"Good morning, Master."

As soon as he appeared online, Elynn, who happened to be nearby, quickly greeted him.

"Has Eldorin returned yet?" Ethan asked.

"Yes, Eldorin is back. He’s currently sorting through the intel he gathered from The Lost Realms. He should be finished soon," Elynn replied.

"Good!"

Ethan nodded, then asked casually, "What about Seraphina and the others?"

At this, Elynn’s expression turned a bit strange. "Lady Seraphina took Lady Elyra and Orryn to Fury Wasteland to pick fights."

Ethan paused, blinking in surprise.

"When did those three become such good buddies?" he asked, looking puzzled.

"I honestly have no idea..." Elynn replied weakly.

"Well, whatever." Ethan shrugged, but deep down, he felt a spark of excitement.

After all, when he thought about it, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. If Seraphina could actually use this opportunity to win over some of those powerful Behemoths from Fury Wasteland, Ethan would be more than happy to sit back and reap the benefits!
