Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 437 Pressure and Warmth

As the sun rose, the royal banner of the Golden Empire fluttered against the fierce winds atop the tower of the Dragon King's Court. The banner was no longer its original six colors; it was now covered with all sorts of dragon shadows.

These dragon figures, as if brought to life, spread their wings and soared on the dragon's banner, almost leaping off of it.

Kalon stood atop the highest point of the Dragon King's Court, facing the biting wind, gazing at the kingdom that belonged to him and the dragons. His gaze was deep, and his striking features almost seemed to pierce the eyes of the white dragon Kamid and Suli.

As always, White Dragon Kamid faced Karon without any pressure, simply staring blankly at Karon and smiling.

As a fourth-generation descendant of the God-King with the blood of a king, and the king's most beloved younger sister, Su Li's noble status and power, along with the identity brought by her bloodline, allowed her to come into contact with countless mortals and the legendary incarnations of gods who had walked among humans.

But even the man Sully had once seen, Adonis, the son of the King of Cyprus, who was said to be the most handsome man among mortals, a man even more handsome than the gods who lived on Mount Olympus.

Nothing could compare to the extraordinary and refined demeanor of the elder brother of her beloved.

It should be noted that Adonis also gained the title of god of spring and plants due to his own charm. His handsome and exquisite features, as beautiful as flowers, made everyone and everything in the world pale in comparison to him.

Even Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, was deeply captivated by Adonis. Adonis was reborn from death every year, forever maintaining his youthful and radiant appearance, making him a deity worshipped by all women.

Therefore, Adonis's name itself has also come to mean love and affection.

Even so, when Sully faced this man named Caron Gogmora, she subconsciously compared him to spring and Adonis, the god of plants.

Sully believes that Adonis is still the most refined man, but for some reason, Adonis's image has gradually disappeared and been gradually covered by the image of the man in front of her.

Everyone has their own unique temperament, and Sully believes that Adonis, in the presence of Camid's brother, is like a delicate child compared to a mature man.

Ganymede, once the most handsome prince of Troy, who was posthumously enshrined as Aquarius, could rival Charon Gogmora in looks and charm, but his aura was far inferior to that of Camille's brother.

The air of authority that Kamid's brother possessed, the ability to command the world with his every move, was a natural quality emanating from within, not something nurtured by power.

Even the incarnation of the God-King, the source of Su Li's inherited bloodline, was not as powerful as the emperor before her.

This also caused Su Li's former pride and arrogance stemming from her identity to vanish without a trace in an instant.

Although the kingdom ruled by her brother could not compare to the golden empire before her, the sense of privilege brought by the blood of the God-King always accompanied Suli.

But Su Li still silently lowered her proud and beautiful head and whispered, "Brother!"

Kamid grinned, revealing his large front teeth. Kamid was quite handsome in human form, but what stood out most was his childlike innocence, which was quite incredible for a dragon.

Perhaps the members of the Golgmora dragon pack all possess some unique and eccentric traits, which is why they are grouped together.

Kalon turned his body to greet the white dragon Kamid and his companion Suli. Kalon specially appeared in human form, and even without his natural crown, the majesty of the Lord of Humanity was still exceptionally strong.

He looked at Suli, a half-human, half-god, who, although she inherited divine blood, was not particularly powerful, but was exceptionally beautiful, comparable to his head maid, Chariz.

In particular, it is rare for Sully, as a princess of the royal family and a descendant of the Greek god-king, to maintain the purity of her heart and keep herself clean.

Moreover, although Suli herself has a bit of arrogance from her privileged life, she is not domineering, nor is she a pampered girl who has never lifted a finger. Instead, she has a strong and self-reliant personality, which is obviously what moved Camid.

“Suri, you’re very good, at least you made a good first impression on me. Although we value freedom and I won’t interfere with Camid’s choices, as the head of the family, and with Camid being my most beloved younger brother, I’m always very concerned about Camid’s future.”

Caron watched as Suli nervously pursed her thin red lips, displaying a hint of stubbornness, before smiling slightly.

With a gentle expression, he said softly, "Relax, Suli. There are no emperors or princesses here, no dragons or humans, just an older brother talking to his younger brother and sister."

Under Caron's words and mental suggestions, Suli instantly relaxed, feeling a sense of respect for her elder brother, but no longer feeling the oppression of facing the face of the Lord of Humanity.

The Lord of Mankind, as the name suggests, was already developing his power when the face of Charon was born.

Although Kalon has not yet clearly embarked on the path of faith in God, causing his ability as the Lord of Humanity to remain uncertain, his incarnation in the Golden Lion Empire of the Dune Plane is now revered by hundreds of millions of people. Even though these hundreds of millions of people are all general believers, his incarnation, before it was fully formed, naturally possessed an aura that suppressed the human race.

If Su Li didn't possess the blood of a god-king, this suppression of aura would have been even more severe.

“Your willingness to follow Camid from a distant land to ours already shows your sincerity, but Sully, as my brother, I know Camid's character very well,”

Caron smiled slightly and said, "Camid might be a little slow on the uptake sometimes, and I hope you can be more tolerant of him. As lovers, we should support and rely on each other."

"If Kamid has ever wronged you in any way, you can come to the royal court to tell me, and I will teach him a lesson for you."

Suli smiled too. The awkwardness and unfamiliarity she felt during their first meeting melted away like ice and snow in Caron's words. She shook her head and said, "Brother Caron, don't worry, what attracts me to Camid is precisely his pure heart."

"Of course, if Kamid bullies me, I will definitely come to you to complain."

"That's good,"

Kalon nodded slightly. "You can certainly make the Empire your home. The Empire's diverse civilizations are inclusive and all-encompassing; perhaps you'll come to like this place."

Kalon knew what Suli meant by those words. As a descendant of the blood of that god-king, Suli must have seen a lot about the chaotic and licentious lifestyles of those gods and strongly disliked that kind of life.

It's well known that the God-King was notorious for his chaos and the debauchery of the pantheon he led. Kalon even thought that even the most chaotic dragon race would find it hard to compare with the God-King who lived on Mount Olympus in this respect.

After all, while dragons are very likely to reproduce with their offspring, that's only because the dragon race itself doesn't have any related moral concepts.

However, a certain god-king, knowing this, still took it as a pleasure in breaking taboos, and has been enjoying it ever since ancient times.

Not only does it disregard moral values, but its indifference to race and gender also surpasses that of dragons. Only certain dragons that use slimes as a form of venting during their mating season can be compared to a certain god-king.

"However, I must make one important point to you beforehand,"

Kalon changed the subject, saying, "The dragon race has a wide variety of personalities, and their aesthetic sense is so broad that even the god of wisdom cannot fully grasp it. Suli, you should be prepared for this." "This is not chaos or disorder, but rather a characteristic that dragons are born with."

Su Li smiled, revealing two small dimples on her beautiful face.

“I know, brother. Camid has already told me this. As long as Camid doesn’t do anything too outrageous, I don’t really have any particular opinion on the practices of other dragons. Everyone has their own way of doing things.”

“I’ve also seen some god-kings in my world who specifically target exotic creatures in the sea for their venting, which isn’t surprising.”

Kamid chuckled and said, "It's that one who controls the sea..."

Kalon shook his head, naturally knowing who the God-King Suli was referring to was.

However, Caron did not anticipate that Camid's departure would take him to another universe.

"The Age of Great Strife, the end of all eras?" The information once revealed by the alien god Borong and the dream he had experienced the night before flashed through Karon's mind.

These things seem unrelated on the surface, but Caron's ability to foresee fragments of the future, gather and calculate all the information, and his excellent intuition allowed him to connect them.

"In this age of great strife, at the end of an era, strange phenomena will inevitably occur frequently amidst the chaos. It seems that we are one step closer to that time."

Caron raised his head slightly, but did not feel any heavy pressure.

This is not because Caron is now capable of handling all mutations, but because he has never been afraid of pressure.

Caron faced many difficulties from childhood. Although he seemed to have outstanding talent and solved many things with his talent, ordinary people would have been hesitant to move forward if they were faced with various threats.

Even in the early stages of establishing a territory, the various difficulties faced are beyond the capacity of ordinary creatures to withstand.

Caron's strength is increasing day by day, and his mind is growing stronger every day. Such pressure for the future is just adding fuel to the fire of his motivation.

Caron instantly forgot about the pressure and focused on the task at hand.

“Not only that, Sully,”

Kalon said gently, "We now live in the age of humanoid races. These intelligent beings, with their order and reason, have created a dominance that surpasses that of the dragon race in just a few thousand years and a dozen generations."

"Our race, though once glorious and powerful, now faces the threat of extinction in this world,"

Karon paused for a moment, then looked into Suli's eyes and said sincerely, "As one of the best in the Empire who has mastered the true way of the dragon, and one of the most outstanding dragon kings in the dragon race, Kamid naturally needs to bear the responsibility for the inheritance of his race."

"Therefore, I sincerely request you, Sully, that Kamid's future spouse will certainly not be only you. The demands from diverse civilizations also place such a responsibility on the Dragon Kings of the Empire. Therefore, I hope you will be more tolerant of Kamid."

Su Li was slightly taken aback.

Although Su Li's status as a noblewoman from the royal court had made her accustomed to the custom of having multiple spouses among the nobility, who wouldn't want to possess their lover entirely for themselves?

But Sully's pause was not because she was dissatisfied with it, but because of Caron's request.

Before seeing the Golden Empire, Su Li did not think that the Golden Empire was very powerful, because the country controlled by her biological brother had tens of thousands of brave and valiant soldiers.

However, after arriving in the Empire, although Suli did not yet have a concrete understanding of Karon's power, the strength and military might of the Golden Empire still intimidated her.

A single legion is enough to defeat tens of thousands of soldiers across the country, not to mention the various powerful war machines and the giant dragons and flying dragons that roam the majestic mountains.

The emperor, who controlled such a powerful nation, whose power surpassed even that of his elder brother, the king, was now sincerely pleading for forgiveness for the sake of his younger brother. This was quite unbelievable to Su Li.

Although she had only spent half a day in the empire, Su Li had already heard of the Dragon Emperor's great reputation in the mortal world. He was the supreme ruler of the empire, an unchecked and supreme power.

Such a person could have such a tender moment, and Su Li, who grew up in the palace, was very sensitive to this.

If Suli had a deeper understanding of the nature of the dragon race, she might be even more shocked.

But Su Li had already lowered her head gracefully, then raised it again with a smile and said, "With such a respectable elder brother as you, I think I will definitely love the Golden Empire very much!"

Caron smiled and said, "That's great. I really hope you can integrate into our family as soon as possible and truly become a member of the Gogmora family."

Kalon reached out his hand, instinctively wanting to stroke the head of the white dragon Camid that had come close to him in the past, but after pausing slightly, he patted Camid's shoulder instead.

“Go, Camid, take your lover to my private treasury and choose a complete set of gifts for Suri.”

"Although you are the Dragon King of the Empire and possess wealth surpassing that of many in the world, this is my congratulations to you all. I also hope that Suli will wear my gift and make a grand appearance at the family gathering!"

White Dragon Kamid excitedly bumped his head against Karon's chest. Suli might not know what this meant, but Kamid knew perfectly well.

As the emperor of the empire, Calon's treasury contained wealth that could not be measured by the word "wealth" alone; many of his precious treasures were beyond the scope of mere monetary value.

The empire continues to absorb the knowledge left behind by the ancient magical empire and constantly innovates and inherits it, creating countless weapons of war and treasures.

If it weren't for the fact that the dragons in the Gogmora dragonflight don't usually like using treasures, these dragons could even cover themselves from head to toe with magical items made by the Department of Magic Research.

"Go ahead,"

Karon patted Camid on the shoulder, signaling for Princess Garune of the Naga to lead the two away.

He looked at the two groups of people waiting beneath the Dragon King's Court, and a letter appeared in his hand.

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; it's truly a dragon's cry, it's angry!"
