Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 316 Strange Power
Seeing that the ancestral golden dragon Obilash accepted Naga as his future mate, the other dragons looked at the golden dragon in surprise. Even the adult silver dragon Flo showed surprise on his face.

Although the golden dragon clan also belongs to the giant dragon species, due to the preference of the platinum dragon king Bahamut, all golden dragons consider themselves to be the noblest bloodline among the giant dragons.

Therefore, it is rare for golden dragons to form mates with other lower races, let alone the chromatic dragons, who will even attack slime monsters when they are in heat.

The Naga race is a powerful race in the deep sea, but they have no right to speak loudly in front of the golden dragon. This is what the silver dragon Flo thinks.

But among the Gogmora dragons, the adult silver dragons have different ideas.

In their eyes, Naga is not divided by racial bloodline, but is classified as a resource.

"Obilash is not a member of the dragon group and should not enjoy the same treatment as the dragon group members. Obilash is not qualified to touch the beautiful Naga."

The young red dragon Caedilos muttered in a low voice.

"If everyone thinks like you, the dragon group will never be able to establish a dragon empire in their lifetime," the adult white dragon Sakless said coldly.

Passive learning and active learning are never at the same level of efficiency. When the white dragon Sakless first awakened some ideas, his progress was beyond the expectations of the other dragons.

The young red dragon Caedilos scratched his chin with his huge dragon claws, recalling the way the steel dragon Midir and the bronze dragon Alina usually mocked him in a sarcastic manner.

Then the red dragon lowered its head slightly and shouted loudly: "Sakless, it seems that there will soon be a powerful dragon king among the dragons, the lord of wisdom and power!"

The white dragon Sakless's face changed slightly, and his claws and toes lying on the carpet couldn't help but tighten slightly.

Several dragon kings in the Gogmora dragon group have followed the footsteps of their ancestral red dragons and have broken away from the shackles of ordinary dragons. They are noble beings that Sakless cannot match.

The rule of several dragon kings over other dragons in the dragon group is not only appointed by the Dragon Emperor, but they can now rule over other dragons on their own.

Although Sakeles knew that several dragon kings among the core members of the Gogmora dragon group would not have any opinions on this, the sarcasm of the young red dragon Caedilos had somewhat hit Sakeles' self-esteem.

"No wonder all the dragons in the dragon group don't like you, Caedilos. You are a piece of shit that only disgusts others," Sakless retorted coldly.

"Enough," the white dragon Gemot took the initiative to stop the two dragons' argument, but he was not angry. The dragon tribe was like this, and the fact that the two dragons did not bare their fangs and fight on the spot was considered a success in their education.

After all, once the evil blood of a dragon takes over, even the dragon itself will find it difficult to control itself. The chaos caused at that time will be a small matter, but making the dragon group lose face in front of the Naga and the elves will be a big deal.

Then peace returned to the hall, only the ancestral golden dragon Obilash wrapped his huge forelimbs around one of his future mates, looking thoughtful.

The White Dragon Lord Kamide also looked thoughtful, but this white dragon was not thinking about anything else. He was considering a problem.

He has two heads, so should he accept the two Nagas? This is a question worth pondering. It is not that the white dragon is beginning to reveal his lustful nature.

Unfortunately, Kalon now promised the Nagas to make their own choices, otherwise the white dragon Kamide would like to try the taste of the Naga Queen.

While the White Dragon Kamide's brain was working as never before, the other Nagas were also choosing their mates.

Although these dragons did not speak again, they were as quiet as statues cast in molten iron, making it impossible for the Nagas to guess their personalities from their words and actions.

But the attentive Nagas have some basic understanding of most of the famous dragons.

For dragons, Naga is just one of their partners in a long life, but for these Nagas, they are their entire life.

Therefore, these Nagas are more cautious when choosing their partners than when going to the battlefield.

In the end, except for the adult silver dragon Flo who did not receive the favor of the Naga because he was a free man, the only male dragon present, the copper dragon Alfred, did not receive the company of the Naga.

Even the two dragon species, the Mist Dragon Deniro and the Ocean Dragon Naxon, happily accepted Naga's company because this was the beginning of the fusion of the empire.

Even the black dragon Rosani, who favored the Centaurs more, showed a happy look.

Not only because of today's action, which means that the Eternal Tide tribe belongs to the Golden Empire, but also because the Naga under the claws of the black dragon Rosani is particularly plump, especially the huge millstone and the two round moons, which are just right for the black dragon's taste.

Among all the Nagas present, only the God-favored Naga Galen did not make a decision.

The divinely favored Naga looked up at the ancestral red dragon on the crown throne. It was a mysterious red dragon.

As the most favored race of Tiamat, the mother of evil dragons, the red dragon's status among the color dragons is the same as the gold dragon's status among the metal dragons, or even much higher.

Because it doesn’t matter if you don’t worship the gold dragon, but if you don’t respect the red dragon, then you are doomed.

Not only in the eyes of countless monster races, the appearance and posture of the red dragon is the strongest and most outstanding of all true dragons, the Naga clan also thinks so.

All monster clans are born with an instinct to worship red dragons. The Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire is the best among red dragons. Even the Nagas cannot find any red dragon in the world of Ekania that can be compared with the ancestral red dragon, either in appearance or personality.

In front of other red dragons, the divinely favored Naga Galun still has to worry about suffering a life of abuse like a slave, but in front of Kalon Gogmora, there is no need to worry about this.

What Garun was worried about was the attitude of Kalon Gogmora himself.

The identity of the Dragon Emperor of the Empire is a noble existence that the God-favored Naga cannot match at all. If he does not have his own wishes, the God-favored Naga Galun's courtship behavior will also be rejected.

All the dragons, elves, and naga present knew that pure beauty and strength alone would not impress the emperor of the empire.

In the silence, the God-favored Naga Galun finally stepped forward, her soft and graceful figure full of charm. But like a proud warrior, she straightened her spine and chest, letting the fullness of her chest burst out and tremble with her posture.

Kalon watched the Naga with interest, although the male dragon was equally lustful and had strong desires.

But such desire is just like a puppy tied in his body. He can let it out when he wants to and lock it up when he wants to. It cannot affect his behavior or will at all.

He was just curious about what this Naga would do. After all, his previous attitude was completely that of a ruler, with no sign of personal involvement.

"Your Majesty," the divine favored Naga Galun stood still, lowered his head slightly, then raised his head, looked at the ancestral red dragon's inquiring and curious eyes, and spoke.

"It is well known in the empire that the emperor of the empire is always guarded by two extremely loyal and powerful legions that are unmatched in the mortal world."

Garun said softly, "But whether it is the Storm Thunder Guards or those powerful Golden Guards, they are not as gentle as me and cannot serve Your Majesty better."

"Those maids who admired His Majesty were gentle and considerate enough, but they lacked strength and determination compared to me."

"Therefore, I request to become the personal guard of His Majesty, and the closest blade to the Emperor of the Dragon Empire. The blade of Kalon Gogmora will always surround the Emperor of the Empire, becoming the softest silk to resist the wind, and the blade to destroy the enemy!"

"The blade of Gogmora? Interesting idea," said Charon with a chuckle, showing his fangs.

The God-favored Naga used this angle to convince himself, but in fact, there was no need. The Ancestral Red Dragon was not a pretentious guy, and the Naga was exactly what was missing from his collecting hobby.

However, Garun's words did move the ancestral red dragon. After all, although maids like Charlize could serve him very well, Charlize was also a good assistant to Charon in handling the imperial government.

But these maids were too fragile and weak, and Kallon was too lazy to train them to become powerful warriors.

In Kallon's opinion, instead of investing resources in these maids who have little potential, it is better to invest them in warriors with great potential.

Even now, Caron still maintains the good habit of allocating and utilizing resources.

The favored Naga Garun has great potential. No matter what kind of danger she is in, she will not become a fragile burden like those maids of Chariz if she follows Karon. She can also provide better service to the ancestral red dragon than those rough warriors. Why not? Karon nodded his huge head and smiled at Garun's expectant and nervous eyes: "Garun, you do have such ability, but I would like to ask you, if the will of the God who gave you the favor conflicts with my will, what choice will you make?"

The dragon's voice echoed in the hall. Not only the dragons, but even the elves and Nagas were slightly stunned and felt surprised.

For those favored by gods, the will of the gods who bestow favors on them is supreme, because gods can grant you power and can also take back the power bestowed on you.

Although in the eyes of many mortals, every one of the gods' favorites is a unique favorite, and it is precisely because of this that they can obtain the gifts of the gods.

Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, those favored by the gods are far more precious than those fanatics, and the eternal sleep of every one of them is also related to the eyes and will of the gods.

In the eyes of the gods, they are just selecting some outstanding talents in the mortal world and giving them power to demonstrate their existence or joy.

There are also some people favored by God who carry fragments of the source of some of the gods' power and certain intentions, but they are often unable to recognize this on their own.

In the understanding of these believers and those favored by the gods, those favored by the gods must maintain pure and firm faith. Once their belief in the gods is shaken, the gods may take away their favor in an instant.

The proud gods would not allow their favored ones to waver.

But in Charon's understanding, those favored by God do not necessarily need to maintain a pure and firm belief in the gods who bestow the power of God. Although this is only a minority, it also proves that there will always be extraordinary beings among the gods.

Just like the kings that live in the deep sea - the bottom demon fish.

These aboleths claim that the deity they worship, the Blood Queen Paiskesthis, is an indescribable monster that has existed for eternity and predates the gods.

But in fact, the evil god worshipped by the bottom-dwelling demon fish, the Bloody Queen, is just a homebody who always likes to lie still, immersed in fantasies about ruling over all living beings, instead of taking practical actions to make her dreams come true.

The evil god who loves to slack off created the bottom-dwelling slacker clan, but if the bottom-dwelling slacker clan was not facing destruction, this evil god would lie forever in Minauros in Baator, motionless and daydreaming.

Only when the benthic demon fish is facing destruction will this evil god send down his favored ones to save his creations, and then he will never care about them again, even if his favored ones become believers of other gods.

Although Kalon didn't know whether Jinnister, the Naga God of Creation worshipped by the favored Naga Garun, would be as magnanimous as the Bloody Queen worshipped by the Aboleth Demon Fish, Kalon wanted to let this Naga make a real choice.

Double-dealers are allowed to exist in his empire, this is an undeniable law, but double-dealers can never exist around him.

The divinely favored Naga Galun understood that this was a necessary choice. By choosing the ancestral red dragon, the Naga would benefit from it and she would also enter the core sequence of the empire.

But do they want to abandon the god of the Naga's own racial faith?

Jialuen took a deep breath, she gave up all thoughts and let her intuition take over at this moment.

Then the God-favored Naga bowed his proud head deeply, firmly and forcefully, "May your Majesty's will always favor the Naga!"

Caron laughed and said, "Very good, brave girl, come forward."

The divinely favored Naga Galun climbed up the stairs and came to the throne of the ancestral red dragon, looking up at the mountain-like body of the dragon.

A huge dragon claw gently touched the forehead of the Naga. Unimaginable magic power condensed in the body of the Naga. A lifelike rose mark bloomed on the forehead of Garun.

Galaun no longer had the mind to feel the power of the mark on her forehead. She only knew that her intuition had overcome all her thoughts, and she won.

Garun stepped aside and stood side by side with the head maid Chariz.

And Charon's gaze turned to the elves.

Today, the Golden Empire has a true underwater race, and there are golden fleets roaming the sea. The Shahuagin in the surrounding waters have been wiped out, and the remaining forces of the Shahuagin Kingdom have also crossed into the deep sea.

This means that there are endless resources in the vast ocean waiting to be seized and exploited by the empire. The mineral veins and treasures on the seabed belong to the dragons under the control of the Golden Empire's sea areas.

Charon's original promise to the dragons, to establish a dragon kingdom that would rule the earth, sky, and sea, has been fulfilled.

The empire's sphere of influence has begun to be truly established, and there is no need to worry about internal troubles. So what is the purpose of those elves coming from afar?

But unexpectedly, the elf princess Isabelle Adjani shocked the entire hall as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Your Majesty," Ajani performed an elegant etiquette of an elven noble towards the ancestral red dragon, and then said loudly: "I request the Golden Empire to send reinforcements to help the Elven Kingdom repel the drow who have been enslaved and bewitched by the deep dragon."

"The Elven Kingdom has also heard of the Empire's Dragon Code. We are willing to respect the laws of the Empire. We only hope that the Empire will punish those dragons that bring chaos!"

The giant dragons looked at each other in bewilderment, some of them speechless.

Other kingdoms and civilizations are eager to drive the dragons away, but these elves are even more willing to take the initiative to welcome the dragons. If the identity of the elf princess Ajani is not certain, these dragons would doubt whether this elf has an immense hatred for their own country.

Even Karon was slightly surprised. Although the reputation of the Golden Empire had always been good under his maintenance, he never thought that the reputation of the empire would be this good.

There is something weird about it!
"Don't think that we killed all those Sahuagin fishmen, but that was just to let the world know the consequences of going to war with the Empire," Caron shook his huge head slightly and said in a deep voice, "But in fact, the Empire loves peace. The Empire does not advocate armed intervention in other countries. The elves should solve their own problems. As for those evil dragons, the Empire is currently out of reach and powerless."

"You elves have always been on good terms with other civilized races. If you need help, you should seek help from those friendly races."

The dragons in the hall nodded secretly, and they had a higher opinion of the ancestor red dragon's ability to lie with open eyes.

Isabelle Adjani's beautiful face showed an anxious look. The voice of this elven princess was as brisk as a kingfisher in the forest. A series of elven and common words mixed with a few dragon words burst out all at once.

"Your Majesty, the situation we are facing in the Elven Kingdom is rather complicated. Not only are we facing the deep dragons in the Underdark, we are also facing some powerful 'ancient dragons',"

Ajani explained: "The appearance of those ancient dragons is closely related to the transformation of the Skyrim Tree of Life in the Elf Kingdom. The elves came to the Empire to seek the Empire's help."

"Those powerful ancient dragons are strong and sturdy. They are the targets that the Elven Kingdom is exhausted from dealing with. If they were just enemies in the Underdark, we elves wouldn't have such a hard time dealing with them."

“The Elven Kingdom believes that the Golden Empire, as a kingdom of dragons, promulgated the Dragon Code and should have the ambition to rule all dragons. Those ancient dragons actually dared to ignore the Empire’s code and wantonly slaughtered the intelligent races that were friendly with the Empire. They should be restrained and punished by the Empire!”

Charon knew the behavior of these elves. After all, without the permission of the empire, these elves could not touch the Tree of Life.

However, the Empire's Tree of Life showed no signs of change. Even the Empire's magic corps could not draw any valid conclusions about the transformation of the Elf Kingdom's Tree of Life without a comparison target.

But just as Charon was thinking about how to politely reject the elf's request, the elf princess Ajani took out a piece of crystal amber, climbed up the steps step by step, and presented the amber in front of the ancestral red dragon.

"This is the power left behind after the death of those outsiders. It is completely different from the extraordinary power of many systems of Ekania. It has a strange ability."

Ajani whispered, "I heard that the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire likes to collect knowledge. Not only will the knowledge and power of these outsiders be given as gifts to the empire, but the knowledge passed down from ancient times by the elves will also be exchanged and communicated with the empire!"

Karon looked at the amber in front of him. It was the seed of power that the elves sealed with magic. In his perception, it was a power that originated from the roots of the souls of all living beings and formed an external manifestation under the transformation of certain rules.

"The power of these outsiders is called the Great Rune, and it has some magical effects," Ajani explained.

The fangs of the ancestral red dragon were exposed, and its huge claws did not take the crystal amber, but laughed.

In the face of this strange power, he smelled the scent of prey, and the Gogmora dragons were hunters.

"Let us think about this," the Ancestral Red Dragon said softly.
