Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 199 Welcome home!

Silver Dragon Chrissy Tiana ultimately failed to receive a response from the great Dragon God, Bahamut. But even after the banquet had ended and countless people had happily returned home, their smiles of satisfaction and the smell of alcohol high, she remained lost in thought.

She no longer cared about the strange and scrutinizing looks from the weak people passing by. Her mind, which was closed in the cocoon, was undergoing some subtle changes. The noble silver dragon head reflected on itself once again.

Silver dragon Chris has lived for countless years, and for the first time, the rigid dogma and paranoia in her heart were exposed nakedly by a weak short-lived species.

She couldn't help but start to think back to the good camp that used justice as its shell and light as its crown, and wonder whether their actions really fit the definition of holiness.

But generally speaking, once habitually paranoid creatures overturn their original views and start looking at problems from another perspective, they will often fall into another extreme paranoid change, and their thinking tendencies will quickly slide and spread to the other extreme.

The scenes that were previously hidden under the self-evident paranoia passed through the silver dragon like flowing water. In her most active brain in the long years, she discovered that the weak short-lived species was right.

The silver dragon Chris, who was born with the influence of dragon heritage and fell into fixed paranoia, discovered for the first time that many people and things in the world cannot be divided into simple camps and preferences.

Whether it is the dragon heritage or the rigid dogmas circulating in the world, they are constantly restraining her thoughts, her heart, and her soul.

"So, this is why the great Platinum Dragon God is unwilling to give us his guidance and wisdom?"

Silver dragon Chris dragged the chain and crawled out of the deep corridor, looking at the bright moon hanging by the Moon Girl in the sky.

At this moment, she discovered that even the bright moon had shadows and night behind it, just like her wishes and heart that she once thought were noble.

"Or even the great Platinum Dragon God, Bahamut, he also..." Silver Dragon Chris's thoughts were surging like a tide, and for a moment, they could no longer be contained.

However, after all the guests had left and the mountaintop had regained its tranquility, rows of soldiers climbed the stairs, attracting the attention of the silver dragon and the two bronze dragons.

Even the few dragons that were caught in a brainstorm had their full attention instantly attracted by these soldiers.

Because these soldiers were guarding in groups, they worked together to carry large boxes one after another, which was heavy and laborious. These large boxes were loaded with full and heavy treasures.

There were countless sparkling gems, gold coins, pearls, agates, giant clams, mithril and precious treasures. The reflection of these treasures under the moonlight was even more dazzling than the color of the silver dragon's scales.

Among them are refined precious metals and jewelry made of various gemstones.

Mithril bracelets, fine gold necklaces, gold pendants, jade earrings, agate hairpins, almost all the valuable items that can be collected in the world of Ekania can be found in these boxes.

The smell and color of these countless treasures made the dragons' breathing instantly become heavier, and their vertical pupils also glowed with brilliance, which came from the dragons' greed.

These giant dragons simply cannot resist the greedy nature brought by the dragon blood. Even the platinum dragon god Bahamut can't help but take a few more glances here.

Even the ancestral golden dragon Obilash, who was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, unconsciously raised his head in his sleep. Although his eyes were closed, his nostrils made a buzzing sound as he sniffed the overly strong and tempting scent of wealth.

But at this moment, these adult dragons could only watch as this huge amount of wealth was sent into the magnificent palace like flowing water. Looking at this huge team, the wealth in every box they carried was more than all the wealth accumulated by these dragons.

If they were not trapped by the power and magic of the ancestral red dragon, perhaps they would automatically display the double standards of the dragon at this moment, denounce these treasures as evil blood and tears, and then take them for themselves openly.

However, this also made the three adult dragons focus their attention on the magnificent royal castle, which now seemed exceptionally quiet.

At this moment, the silver dragon's four claws were like those big cats walking quietly in the jungle, eliminating the sound of its heavy body's footsteps.

She carefully held the red chain with the claws on her wings, and quietly poked her beautiful and dignified head out from the door that seemed to be always open, and looked into the castle.

The two adult bronze dragons made the same choice at this moment after seeing that the soldiers and guards carrying boxes of wealth did not stop the silver dragon Chris.

The two bronze dragons followed the example of the silver dragon Chris, stealthily sticking their heads out of the castle gate to spy on what was going on inside.

Dragons are strange creatures with long lives and almost inexhaustible energy. They can spend countless days and months without sleep, but they find it extremely difficult to concentrate. It is extremely difficult for them to do one thing well.

It is not easy to make these impatient dragons wait quietly and silently, except when they are lying in their nests and sleeping soundly.

But the three adult metal dragons, with eyesight better than that of eagles in the sky, discovered that at this moment in the hall of the royal castle, except for the guards who were carrying boxes of treasures, every dragon lord was quietly sitting in his own position.

Although pairs of terrifying dragon eyes flashed with vibrant light, no dragon made a sound, and no dragon showed any impatient movement or expression.

Even the two impatient red dragons, Caedilos and Clenaya, who were not taken seriously by the metal dragons, remained calm and quiet at this moment.

Even though the greed in their eyes was about to turn into tangible claws and grab towards the treasures, they still maintained a calm attitude.

It seems that in the face of this huge wealth, the determination of those evil dragons is stronger than that of the metal dragons.

“Incredible, unimaginable!”

This thought flashed through the minds of the three metal dragons at the same time.

Silver Dragon Chris couldn't help but look towards the deepest part of the castle, at the lofty Dragon Throne. She was curious about the expression of the ancestral red dragon, the monarch of all dragons, the emperor of the empire.

She saw that the ancestral red dragon, who was so brutal and ferocious on the battlefield, and the lord of all dragons who was so domineering in front of the world, was now sitting high on his throne like a true and noble emperor who ruled over an ancient empire.

Absolute rationality and wisdom, absolute restraint and calmness are completely contrary to the violence and tyranny displayed by the Dragon Emperor on the battlefield.

These huge fortunes could not even cause the other party to have the slightest fluctuation in his eyes. Even greed, the most uncontrollable source of desire in the dragon's blood, could not show up in the slightest under the will of this ancestral red dragon.

If it weren't for the dragon's natural pride and indifference hidden in its dark golden vertical pupils, Silver Dragon Chris would have even thought that the other party was a calm human monk or one of those human-like emperors whose desire for power overwhelmed everything.

Just like the monarch of an ancient empire that has ruled the vast land of the central continent for thousands of years.

The ancestral red dragon perched on the throne has the calmness and heaviness of the earth, his face has the edges and determination of steel, and his will reveals the aggression and passion of fire.

Even though the other party restrained all his breath, Silver Dragon Chris could still feel the natural chill, like a manifestation of some essence.

In the eyes of the silver dragon Chris, in front of the more mature ancestral red dragon, the noble-looking ancestral golden dragon Obilash is just like an underage child, a fledgling who has obtained a power that does not belong to him.

Only those glittering golden scales can bring Obilash false nobility.

The other party is the king of dragons who looks down at the earth from the sky and rules over all dragons.

A feeling similar to a human shivering quickly spread from the tip of the silver dragon Chris's tail, along the spine, and spread to her entire limbs and bones, causing the scales on her back to suddenly close rapidly and tightly cling to the skin under the scales.

Because she saw the majestic, gorgeous and noble Dragon Emperor, casting his calm gaze upon her.

In a trance, the silver dragon Chris seemed to see that the other's calm face was gently shaking at this moment. The red dragon raised the corner of his mouth, and a meaningful smile appeared in his fangs that were flashing with cold light.

Silver Dragon Chris suddenly felt as if a basin of the coldest water from the River Styx was poured on her head.

The cold that even the silver dragon's cold resistance could not resist permeated her limbs and bones, connecting to her rapidly beating heart, so she quietly retracted her head.

Giant dragons with scales of different colors coiled on the huge black stone throne and the exquisite carpet, allowing the maids to remove the dining table and leftovers around them and waiting quietly.

The dinner for everyone has ended, but the dinner for the dragons has just begun. Even these impatient dragons have enough reasons to wait for this moment.

The loyal slave girl with a plump figure as if carved from jade and a face as charming and seductive as the incarnation of a succubus, Kallon's personal financial officer and the territory's tax collector, the giant demon Fafna, is standing under the right side of the red dragon's throne.

Fafna was wearing a professional dress of a civil servant, and her charming face looked particularly serious and formal, because the giant monster knew that his master did not like subordinates who could not distinguish the importance of occasions.

Therefore, she had long ago restrained her own aura of charm, although her appearance and posture already possessed a charm that ordinary creatures could hardly resist.

"Master, this is the record of all the wealth consumed and gained within the territory while you were asleep. Every expense in the Dragon Treasury is faithfully recorded." "And thanks to the development of the Green Forest plane, the losses in the Dragon Treasury during the years of war have been compensated. As for your dividend dinner tonight, it is the accumulated wealth from the fixed surplus of profits generated by the territory in the past."

"Due to the three years of war, there is no surplus from the profits generated in the territory, so the Dragon Treasury will pay out an equal share."

The giant demon Fafna's soft voice sounded, explaining everything to her master.

Ding, ding, ding.

Kalon tapped the armrest of the throne with his raised claws. He smiled softly and affirmed the giant demon's work. "Fafna, you've done a great job. You've lived up to my trust and your ability! I understand your request, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"My generous and tolerant master, Fafner pledges her loyalty to you until the end of her life!" Like those officials, the giant demon Fafner placed her slender white hands on her chest and responded directly.

Although these followers have lived with humans for a long time, they are still straightforward and have not learned the euphemisms of human bureaucrats.

Kalon turned his gaze to the group of dragons. Among these dragons were companions who had grown up with him, companions who later joined the dragon group for various reasons, and some dragons that were bound by the power of the dragon group, including five-colored dragons and metal dragons.

But at this moment, they have formed a common group - the Gogmora dragon group. Their destinies have intersected here and now and will be difficult to separate.

The giant dragons also responded to the dragon leader with their gazes.

Facing the gaze of the dragons, Karon showed his thick and long fangs and said, "In the beginning, we formed this special group of dragons because of an agreement, which brought us together spontaneously. While I was sleeping, you fulfilled the dragon's agreement brilliantly, so I will also fulfill my promise."

"Tonight, we not only celebrate the victory of the war and the founding of the empire, but also share the gains from our rule over the years. This is also the tradition of the Gogmora dragon group from beginning to end."

As soon as Kalon finished speaking, the dragons, who had been forcing silence, suddenly became lively. Kamide's two heads shook left and right.

The green dragon Antajena's gaze also shifted from the ancestor red dragon to the treasure on the ground. The black dragon Rossani's tail flapped wildly in excitement, making a banging sound.

The giant dragon lords gnashed their teeth and wagged their tails, some unable to contain themselves.

Even the young white dragon Sloka, the teenage white dragon Ronnie, the green dragon Ellie, and the young red dragon Caedilos who joined the dragon group later showed expectant looks. It was also the first time for the blue dragon Carlit to participate in such an occasion, so she seemed particularly excited.

Although these dragons have never received a clear response from the dragon master, at this moment, the fact that they can stay here proves that they have been accepted by the dragon group and have become true members of the dragon group.

The silver dragon Chris, who quietly poked her head out from the gate of the royal castle, and the two bronze dragons Gross and Natarelli were all surprised. In the impression of these three dragons, such a thing would never happen, no matter whether it was a group of five-colored dragons or a group of metal dragons.

Not to mention distributing the wealth to other dragons, even if Tiamat and Bahamut asked their dragon believers to offer even one silver coin, these dragons would probably withdraw their faith in the dragon gods without hesitation, and then sell the statues of the two dragon gods as commodities in exchange for the last copper coin and put it into their own treasure houses.

This is the attitude of these giant dragons towards the two dragon gods after the Dragonfall Holy War.

This made the three adult metal dragons quietly raise their hearing to the highest level. They had already become curious about this strange group of dragons.

"During the years when the dragons were sleeping, we faced the invasion of the orc kingdom. Alina, Akzi, Naxon, and Alfred, you did a great job and played a great role. You are the primary contributors to our victory."

"Therefore, you have gained the most,"

Although the dragons have different focuses and cause different impacts, Charon does not want to divide the credit too much. Not only will it be troublesome for the dragons, it will also lead to some signs of competition, so he regards the credit of these dragons as the same level.

Several giant dragons excitedly used their wing claws to climb onto the black stone throne, stretched out their long necks, and placed their heads on the heavy treasure chests carried by several werewolf guards.

These treasures are what the wandering wild dragons could never collect in their lifetime. Even some lord dragons would need to spend a considerable amount of time squeezing the blood and sweat of their followers to fill the treasure chests in front of them. However, the quality of these treasures could hardly be compared with these fine products.

And these were only the gains from ruling the dragon territory for several years. This made the dragons feel that the hardships and fatigue they had experienced before were nothing more than a small storm.

"At the critical moment of the war, the sleeping dragons awakened one by one, laying the foundation for our final victory. Therefore, your gains are almost the same."

Box after box of treasure was carried in front of the dragons that had passed their teenage years and entered adulthood, and each dragon was eager to take possession of his or her own wealth.

Only the white dragon Kamide raised his two heads high, looked around, and after a long time, he placed his heads on the treasure chest with satisfaction.

Kamide was very satisfied. This was the first time that he had received the same amount of wealth as the blue dragon Dos and the red dragon Clenaya. This satisfied his vanity and made him very proud.

"Kedilos, come forward," Karon turned his gaze to the expectant young red dragon and spoke.

The young red dragon Caedilos stretched out his long neck and walked slowly to the throne.

There wasn't much left of Caedilos to begin with, and his desire to challenge the Dragon Lord had long been shattered by the aftermath of the battle on the plains. Facing this terrifying ancestral red dragon, Caedilos didn't think he could do better than the ancestral golden dragon Obilash.

Even though the Red Dragon's arrogance made him look down on the ancestor golden dragon, the huge gap in reality made him a little scared when facing the Lord of the Dragon Group.

After all, the first beating in his dragon life was at the hands of Karon.

The young red dragon Caedilos obediently stretched his proud head under the dragon claws of Karon that were as strong as forged steel, and the ups and downs of the dragon's dragon language rang in his ears.

"Kedilos, you fought with your own blood and earned your freedom, and used your strength to earn you recognition. From today on, you are a member of the Gogmora dragon group."

At this moment, Caedilos felt the vast, majestic, and sea-like power of the ancestral red dragon surging into his body, and the dragon contract that imprisoned him finally dissipated at this moment.

The iron ring around his neck also fell quietly to the ground with a clanging sound.

He, Caedilos, was free, but wanted something more.

So the young red dragon Caedilos raised his head, stared eagerly at the majestic vertical pupils of the ancestor red dragon, and asked stutteringly: "Then, then, then where is my reward..."

"Hahahahaha,"

The blue dragon Akizi laughed wildly and mockingly. He said, "Kedilos, have you forgotten that you still owe the dragon group more than two hundred years of free service? My suggestion to Kalon is that your contribution, minus the freedom you won, can still be worth one year of service."

In an instant, the entire group of dragons burst into undisguised laughter. The young red dragon Caedilos returned to his seat dejectedly with his tail between his legs and buried his head under his broad wings. For the first time, he felt an emotion that a dragon should not have - shame.

"Sloka, Ronnie, Ellie," Caron did not utter his own mockery, although his long fangs were almost completely exposed.

He addressed the dragons and said, "You have earned the recognition of the dragons for your outstanding performance in the war. Therefore, you also enjoy the rights of the Dragon's Covenant. If you are willing to join the dragon group, you will be given freedom and rewards. If you do not want to join the dragon group, you will be free!"

"Of course we are willing," several dragons said in unison. After seeing the wealth of the dragon group, none of these dragons could resist the temptation of treasure and the sense of security that came from being together in this increasingly powerful dragon group.

The alliance between dragons and the nations between dragons will be extremely powerful.

Following the Dragon Emperor's signal, the guards placed three small boxes in front of the three giant dragons. Although the wealth in these three small boxes was only one-tenth of that in the large boxes, the dragons still showed satisfied looks.

Caron's huge body was perched on the tall throne. He turned his gaze to the uneasy blue dragon sitting in the corner of the dragon group. The heavy pressure brought by his scrutinizing gaze made the blue dragon Carlit's heart sink, sink, and sink into the abyss.

The crime of betrayal is an unforgivable sin in any race, any ethnic group, and any organization. Even though Carlit paid with blood for redemption, she was still not sure that she could get the red dragon's forgiveness.

She even wondered, if she was not redeemed and was driven out of the dragon group again, where in this vast land could she stay in peace?

The red dragon will not forgive her, and naturally no other dragon in the dragon group will forgive her either, because the will of the red dragon is the will of the dragon group.

It was not until a long time later that the gentle voice of the Dragon Emperor was heard from the distant throne, pulling back the heart of the blue dragon Carlit, which had been gradually sinking into the endless darkness of the abyss, and infusing it with infinite light.

"Welcome home, Carlit!" The Dragon Emperor, sitting high on the throne, smiled and said gently.
