Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 296: Islands
Above the endless ocean, among the inhabited islands, there are civilizations and countries that are no less powerful than those on land.

For example, the Orc Empire in the North Sea east of the Northern Continent is a civilized country located in the archipelago on the sea.

And on the Sea of No Return in the southern continent of the Ekania world, there are naturally many islands, which can provide a place for living creatures to live and reproduce, and for civilization to grow.

In the stories woven by the mortals of the southern continent based on rumors from pirates on the sea, it is said that at the end of the Sea of No Return, there are islands forever covered by natural and magical fogs.

These archipelagos are interconnected and separated by narrow seas, but their area is no less than any continent in the world of Ekania.

And at the end of the Sea of No Return, there lives the ancient overlords - the Titans.

Mortals cannot know the secrets, but the active southern good dragons living in the southern continent know enough.

The huge figures that those lucky pirates occasionally saw were indeed the ancient Titan bloodline that once competed with dragons for world domination.

Not only do the Titans have residences on the Sea of No Return, but even among the metallic dragon tribes in the south, hybrids of Titans and dragons are occasionally born.

In most cases, half-breeds of the dragon race are discriminated against.

But no matter in which world, the status and power brought by powerful strength are the best beautifiers.

Therefore, there are many half-bloods who have become the favorites and best among metal dragons.

When the adult silver dragon Chrissie Tiana and two bronze dragons Gross and Natarelli came to this country created by the darlings of the golden dragon clan, they saw countless monsters rising and falling in the winding islands.

Flying dragons, griffins, winged serpents, these powerful monsters in the eyes of mortals are just one of the many races in this archipelago.

Under the vast sea surface, one can occasionally see traces of Nagas, mermaids and tidal giants.

In the country created and ruled by the Golden Dragon, these deep-sea races are not hindered by the racial conflicts in the outside world, but live peacefully in the sea.

In addition, in this archipelago, the three adult metal dragons also sensed the unique breath of many dragon-blooded creatures, as well as the breath of colorful dragons that were incompatible with the metal dragon base.

"It seems that this is the kingdom that the silver dragon Flo reveres, the holy king of metal dragons, Erickson, the hybrid of the golden dragon and the ancient Titan, created!"

The adult bronze dragon Natarelli looked down at the islands in the distance and spoke.

After leaving the Golden Empire, several adult metal dragons traveled together. After many days, they finally arrived at the place mentioned by the adult silver dragon Flo.

"If Karon could see the country created by Erickson, he might be relieved that the Golden Dragon race is not just like what he imagined. It can also create a civilization with a bright future and development potential."

Silver Dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana said happily: "Maybe in this way, Gogmora will give up his terrible idea."

The adult bronze dragon Gross looked calmly at the thriving island nation in the distance and said calmly, "The apparent prosperity may conceal many unimaginable problems. We still need to verify and observe them in detail."

After arriving in the southern continent, these three adult dragons all moved around in the humanoid form that metallic dragons were accustomed to.

In the left hand of the Bronze Dragon Gross, there was a thick metal-covered book. The glittering metal cover was engraved with the name of the Bronze Dragon Gross in the dragon language.

This is the book of knowledge of the bronze dragon Gros, and also the book of spells given to this bronze dragon by the ancestor red dragon Kalon Gogmora.

This book of spells has the same abilities as those leather-carved dragons who like to carve magic runes on their scales. The spell emblems engraved on every page of the book will bloom with the maximum spell effect that the bronze dragon's power can bring out under the active control of the bronze dragon Gros.

The bronze dragon Gross, who received this book of spells as a gift from the ancestral red dragon, cherishes it very much. He holds it in his hands all the time and occasionally records some of his own insights and discoveries in this book.

"But judging from Erickson's previous declaration, this golden dragon may also be able to create a civilization that is not inferior to the Golden Empire."

Bronze dragon Natarelli said softly, "After all, the reason why he was able to subdue the adult silver dragon Flo and make him the future Saint King of metal dragons is definitely not just because of the blood of the ancestral golden dragon and the blood of the ancient Titan in Ericson's body."

In the declaration made by Erickson, the ancestral golden dragon, he claimed that he would put an end to all evil in his country, make the crimes in the territory disappear, and make the territory dominated by fairness.

Make the people of the territory have noble morals, establish a sound system, and make virtuous people the leaders of order.

Perhaps it was the ambition expressed by this ancestral golden dragon, which shared the blood of the ancient Titans, that caused many new-generation metal dragons to begin to move closer to Erickson.

In the common language of the mainland, the name Erickson also means noble ruler, with the connotations of beauty, overcoming, victory, depth and stability.

"It sounds like a fantasy country of nothingness. I hope so," the bronze dragon Gross said with a calm expression and deep eyes.

"Let's go. I can't wait to see the kingdom built by the noble metal dragons. I hope it can bring me a profound change."

Silver Dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana smiled at her two companions and said, "If it is as good as the declaration says, Silver Dragon Flo hopes that we can assist the ancestor golden dragon Erickson. It is not impossible for him to satisfy him."

So the three adult metallic dragons began to step into this new country, traveling with their own expectations.

But as they got to know each other better day by day, the expectant expressions of the three metal dragons began to turn serious.

In the kingdom of the archipelago, mortals thrive and multiply, and there are also elves and giants, as well as traces of five-colored dragons loyal to Erickson, the ancestral golden dragon. Although there are not as many mixed races as in the Golden Empire, it is still a mixed bag and has a variety of races.

But with so many different races living together, there is also good order. Although fights and brawls still happen frequently, it is almost impossible to encounter serious cases such as murder.

Because in the kingdom of the ancestral golden dragon and the son of the ancient Titan, there are a large number of holy warrior legions.

Under the order maintained by these holy warriors, ordinary mortals can live and work here in peace and contentment, which has also attracted many other orderly races to settle here.

But what surprised the silver dragon Chris, the bronze dragon Gross and Natarelli was that although the country established by the golden dragon also promulgated laws in accordance with other human civilizations, it almost entirely relied on the subjective initiative of the holy warriors themselves to govern the country.

In the kingdom created by the Golden Dragon, the rigid subjective consciousness of the holy warriors almost replaced the role of the law and became the symbol of the law.

The most prominent one is the public trials that are often held in this country, which were once considered by the Silver Dragon Chris Tiana to be boring trials based on moral standards.

The law is the embodiment of the national will of the ruler, but the archipelago country with a large number of laws has never realized this and is ruled entirely by man.

Even in the Golden Empire, the Gogmora dragons, who are above the law, will subtly modify the laws and regulations of the empire through their own behavior, thereby reflecting the Gogmora dragons' intention to rule the empire.

Moreover, the three metal dragons believed that it was the most foolish thing to simply take the stereotype of the camp as the starting point. Even a paladin could not be a representative of the law.

"Are you ambitious but lack the talent, or are you completely immersed in your own fantasies?" Silver Dragon Chris Tiana couldn't help but frown.

After experiencing the trials in the Golden Empire, these dragons no longer act based on their own pure ideals as before, but make corresponding decisions through practical experience and investigation.

But in the kingdom of the archipelago, the few metal dragons did not see any signs of the development of productivity in civilized society. The shaky production relations were only built on the wishful thinking of fairness by the ancestor gold dragon Erickson.

Bronze dragon Natarelli also frowned. "No wonder the silver dragon Flo went north to the Golden Empire to learn. But in my opinion, it will be difficult for this arrogant golden dragon to change his way of thinking."

"This so-called ideal country is ultimately an overly naive fantasy," the bronze dragon Gross said expressionlessly as he looked at the nobles hanged on the dock by the holy knights and the enslaved five-colored dragons.

In the eyes of the three metal dragons, these nobles certainly deserved to die, but they were not tried by law or court, but were directly hanged by the so-called verdict of these holy warriors.

And those enslaved five-colored dragons actually have life forms similar to dragon liches and dragon undead.

According to the three metal dragons, these undead dragons were once loyal to the ancestral golden dragon Erickson, but after death, their souls were still controlled by this ancestral golden dragon, and the souls of these five-colored dragons were not given the peace they deserved.

You know, even in the Golden Empire ruled by five-colored dragons, the two young white dragons who died in the Orc War are now enshrined in the temple of dragons.

On the columns of honor in the central square of every city in the Golden Empire, there are statues of two young white dragons, telling the stories of the rare but unconcealable achievements of these two white dragons.

Seeing all these things happening, a unique temperament was revealed in the Bronze Dragon Gross, which was a manifestation of a certain concept.

"Instead of using the knowledge and clear ideas to transform the world, a civilization only engages in barbaric conquest and suppression. According to the Empire's review standards, such a civilization has no potential for growth and is garbage that needs to be cleaned up," said the Bronze Dragon Gross coldly.

"We should sweep away this garbage civilization and leave its land and living space to civilizations with greater potential to promote progress and development."

In the past, when the bronze dragon Gross saw the five-colored dragon being defeated and enslaved by the metal dragon, he would have thought that this was the strength of the metal dragon, but the current situation only made him feel dazzled.

"If Lord Gogmora knew about this, Erickson, the ancestor of the golden dragon, would be in trouble," said the female bronze dragon Natarelli with contempt.

"It's too far, the Golden Empire is too far, and Gogmora is too far from here," said the adult silver dragon Chris indifferently, and the look of expectation that once appeared on her face now turned into disgust.

She hoped that the civilized country established by the metal dragons would give Kalon Gogmora an impression of recognition, but after just a brief contact with this country, Chris knew that the country of the archipelago would only be the target of elimination by the ancestral red dragons in the future without the need for further in-depth understanding.

Although the ancestral red dragons also enslaved the giant dragons, their purpose was to transform the minds of those dragons, utilize their wisdom, and condense their power.

And judging by the way this ancestral golden dragon behaved, it simply treated these giant dragons as tools to use, and only as crude tools and thugs at that, and it did not realize the true advantages of the dragon race.

Perhaps the other party realized it, but driven by their own desire for power, they chose the simplest way - to suppress, enslave and drive with force, rather than pursuing a common path with ideas and wisdom.

"I'm not interested in assisting a dragon like this. I want to leave here and return to the southern continent. What about you?" Silver Dragon Chris asked her companions.

After a long time of getting along and traveling together, the three metal dragons have already formed a partnership-like relationship. Perhaps every dragon that comes out of the Golden Empire will naturally form a similar relationship with each other.

"The road we are walking on will soon be forked, Chris," the adult bronze dragon Gross looked at his companion, "No matter what Emperor Gogmora said to you, I have my goals and mission to accomplish. You have to be careful in the future. Perhaps we will become 'enemies' in the future."

"I will choose to stay and try my best to get this so-called ideal country back on the right track," Gross smiled. "If I can't get this country back on the right track, then I will let the ideals of the Golden Empire take root in this land. It will also be my contribution to the future of the empire!"

Silver dragon Chris looked at the adult bronze dragon's warning thoughtfully and nodded, "I understand, Gross, I hope you and Natarelli will be safe."

"Let's go. We'll take you a little further," the female bronze dragon Natarelli said with a chuckle. "Gross and I will stay in the archipelago. This is also an explanation to the silver dragon Flo's request. You must be careful when you return to the southern tribe, Chris."

Silver Dragon Chris nodded, and three dragons stepped out of the archipelago. At the edge of the archipelago country, they avoided the guardians of those countries, then transformed into their true forms and flew out of the island.
