Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 558 I'll Beat Anyone

Within the Golden Empire, besides the followers of the Goddess of Wealth, the second extended influence of the church of believers of a deity comes from Mikasa, the goddess of healing, representing mercy and love.

Although the believers of this god's church have not witnessed any miracles from the god for hundreds of years, the healing spells that the devout believers hoped to perform have maintained their effectiveness for a long time.

Because of the deity's principle of providing healing and comfort to everyone, including enemies, this church is quite popular in the southern continent of Ekania.

But the purpose of this deity is only one minor reason. A more important reason is the opportunity arising from the fact that the emperor of the Golden Empire had been conceived for a long time but had not yet been born.

After the elderly golden dragon Bayhart, whose identity was extremely secretive, walked through the Golden Empire, much of the knowledge about the dragon race that had been overlooked or forgotten for various reasons was gradually filled in.

This collection of knowledge was integrated and summarized by the relevant departments of the imperial government, and turned into a popular textbook such as "The Book of Dragons".

The Book of Dragons clearly states that dragons can conceive during their adolescence, but this is not the optimal time.

Offspring conceived at this stage have a high probability of being stillborn or born with congenital defects.

When a dragon reaches its prime during its youth, if the female dragon is willing to bear offspring for the male dragon, and has a stable living environment and sufficient living conditions.

So female dragons can also lay a clutch of dragon eggs every year, just like humans, usually two to five eggs.

The incubation period for silver dragon eggs is about 660 days, while the incubation period for red dragon eggs is the same. Therefore, regardless of which race the dragon emperor's offspring belong to, their incubation period is not much different.

The problem is that the Empire's silver dragon ruler, Chris, has yet to give birth to an heir for the Emperor, let alone hatch one.

This raised many questions among dragons and imperial mages, since dragons are oviparous, not viviparous.

The offspring of a dragon need to undergo a long period of redevelopment within the dragon egg. Even though the bloodline of the true dragon emperor Karon Gogmora is too powerful and the innate bloodline of his offspring is too strong, they should still undergo a long period of gestation and development within the eggshell.

The silver dragon Chris has been conceiving the blood of the dragon emperor's offspring for three years.

Although Kalon himself had carefully examined the condition of the silver dragon Chris, even as the Dragon Emperor of the Empire, he could not stop the enthusiasm and goodwill of his subjects.

This is why the bishop of Mikasa, the goddess of healing, love, and mercy, from the southern continent set foot in the Golden Empire.

Many dragons in the empire therefore jokingly referred to this deity as the true Mother Goddess.

There is no so-called God of Life in this world.

This positive energy, which focuses on active life, is one of the fundamental rules of the universe and one of the most vast and majestic primary energies in the universe.

It is the foundation for the continuation of all life, and the power to resist death and maintain immortality, so almost all non-evil deities can claim to have a significant influence in this field.

Perhaps it is because the realm of life is too vast and magnificent that no deity can tolerate such authority being easily taken away by others, which is why such a situation has arisen.

The deity in charge of medicine naturally possesses extraordinary expertise in the realm of life.

The archbishop of the Church of God had his reasons for volunteering to travel to the Golden Empire.

While the mainstream development of magic does not exclude the development of technological civilization, it always limits the development of technology, because in the eyes of those who use magic, magic is the pillar of the world.

The development of divine arts and the flourishing of healing spells also have certain influences and constraints on the development of medicine and pharmacy.

However, the civilization of the Golden Empire not only focused on the development of magic, but also on the development of technology.

As the saying goes, things can be inclusive and complementary; what technology cannot do, magic may be able to do.

What magic can do, technology can perhaps improve efficiency of.

Therefore, the development of medicine in the Golden Empire today is rapid.

Thanks to the information provided by many alchemical mages and some reclusive necromancers, the medical clinics of the Golden Empire are even able to use medical means to reattach severed limbs and reconstruct prosthetic bodies for those citizens with broken hands and feet.

Therefore, Archbishop Ilu of this church felt that his faith was not only gentle and harmless to the dragon kings and rulers in the Golden Empire, but also complemented the development of medicine in the Golden Empire.

That's why Ilu gave up the status and power she had gradually built up in the Southern Continent, abandoned those intrigues and power struggles, and came to this brand new world to make her mark.

However, Ilu always felt that the ordinary old golden dragon that had accompanied her to the Dragon King's Court was strange. Although the old golden dragon always had a smiling face, even as a legendary archbishop, she could not see the strength of this old dragon.

In her eyes, the other party was merely a golden dragon with a long beard and tail, but as the one who wielded the church's sacred artifacts, Ilu would always subconsciously sense that the other party was looking down on her, looking down on her in the spiritual realm.

"How strange, Lord Bayhart, how can there be so many wild beasts in the Dragon King's Court? Aren't these creatures afraid of the dragons' majesty?"

As Ilu ascended the wide stone steps, she gazed at the majestic royal court that was so close at hand, and at the strange-looking beasts and monsters crouching behind the stone steps on both sides of the court and on the tall tree-men.

Among them are powerful races such as minotaurs, scorpion lions, owl bears, deer eagles, and winter wolves, as well as Medusa with human heads and snake bodies, and the roc birds that are abundant in the God-Forsaken Mountains.

Ilu also saw a sneaky dragon peeking out from behind a tree-man. She looked closely and saw that the strange-looking dragon seemed to be trying to ingratiate itself, talking in a guttural voice to a strange magical ape sitting on the tree-man's canopy.

“That’s not a wild beast. As everyone knows, the Emperor of the Dragons likes animals, but not wild beasts,”

With a single step, Bayhart's massive four claws traversed several high and wide stone steps. His identity was known only to Kress and Caron Gogmora throughout the entire empire.

This is also the result of a subconscious agreement and compromise between Bayohart and Caron Gogmora.

He once performed a miracle, but was repelled by the roar of the true dragon emperor, which made Bayuhart understand some of the great red dragon's principles long ago.

Gods can appear in the Golden Empire, but they cannot appear in the form of gods; instead, they walk among the mortal beings.

Fortunately, unlike a certain dragon god, this golden dragon didn't care about these things.

In truth, Bayhart felt he was benefiting from the presence of the archbishop beside him. It was because of Ilu's arrival that Caron Gogmora took the opportunity to invite him to examine the silver dragon Chris.

If it weren't for Ilu, Bayuhart wouldn't be able to set foot in the Dragon Court now. Therefore, Bayuhart was very friendly to Ilu, patiently explaining to her, "These are all dragons, young true dragons from the Gorgmora race."

The young dragons of the Gogmora tribe are crouching outside the royal court, and this is not a game.

Behemoth Achilles listened intently to the commotion within the Dragon King's court, crunching loudly as he chewed on the fist-sized Elemental Heart he held in his hands.

It's hard to say whether Behemoth's fangs or a dragon's fangs are stronger, but there's no doubt that most of what dragons can eat can also be eaten by Behemoth.

The massive head of the pivotal dragon Aris twisted and turned beside Achilles, its vertical pupils filled with covetous longing for the Elemental Heart in Achilles' hand.

For an adult pivot dragon, an elemental heart of this purity is not a magical material that can be consumed casually.

Even in the hands of some slightly poor legendary mages, the Heart of the Elements is an extremely useful magical artifact.

But the dragons that the Golden Empire supported with the full resources of the nation possessed such unique advantages.

Of course, in return, the Golgmora dragons provided other forms of support to the mortal beings of the Empire.

Pivot Dragon Aris still retains his former arrogance, but his ignorance has begun to fade. Therefore, this adult dragon, who has been spared punishment by the True Dragon Emperor, is focused on getting along well with the dragons in the Gogmora dragon herd.

However, because Aris's ambition is to travel to all corners of the world and collect all kinds of dragons, this adult dragon has not yet joined the Golden Empire.

Therefore, the adult dragon mostly chose to befriend the young dragons in the empire, because the mature dragons had nothing to talk about with him.

However, the young dragons in the Empire always have one thing in common: they are very tolerant of the dragons in the Gorgmora clan.

They maintained an attitude of tolerance and inclusiveness towards even the weaker dragons, but they were extremely fierce towards the dragons from outside the region.

Among them, the group of young dragons led by Nero the Red Dragon and Caesar the Blue Dragon were the most outstanding.

Achilles, being a Behemoth, even when fully unleashed, only displayed an indifferent attitude towards all things as prey, rather than the genuine arrogance of those young dragons, thus becoming Aris's target.

"Aren't the true dragons of your Gogmora clan supposed to revere the perfect dragon body? Why are you all becoming so strange?"

Ares licked his fangs, pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds from the royal court, and peered into Achilles's body, which had transformed into a mutated demonic ape, and asked him questions.

Without Achilles' guidance, Aris would not have been able to reach the top of the royal court, nor would he have been able to enter the vast mountains.

Click,

Achilles patted his belly contentedly and looked at the green dragon Salera opposite him. This vain green dragon had now transformed into a rare Medusa, who was perched on the tree-man's head, rustling softly.

"The path of the True Dragon is one of perfect evolution, but Father said that only by personally experiencing the advantages and disadvantages of many powerful races can one truly understand the meaning of the True Dragon's perfection and complete the path to the True Dragon's perfection."

"It would be utterly ignorant to overlook the strengths of other powerful races simply because of the innate advantages of dragons!"

Pivot Dragon Aris nodded thoughtfully, turning his gaze to the old golden dragon that had just reached the summit platform and the woman whose depths were unclear. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a strong gust of wind suddenly howl.

The many young dragons crouching on both sides of the stone steps immediately saw a gigantic iron dragon fly out of the gate of the Dragon King's Court.

The enormous ancient dragon flapped its huge wings uncontrollably, yet it still couldn't stop itself from flying backward. Finally, it fell headfirst onto the top of the stone steps leading to the royal court, and only then did it come to a stop.

Both Bayuhart and Ilu looked at the ancient dragon breathing deeply with astonishment. It was an extremely powerful iron dragon, its steel scales and iron skin looking as indestructible as the mountain steel in the mortal world.

But on the head of this ancient dragon, there was a huge claw mark that remained clearly visible for a long time.

Although the ancient iron dragon did not suffer any obvious damage, it seemed to be stunned by the attack. It took nearly a quarter of an hour to slowly get up from the ground, flap its wings, and look around.

"Heh, as expected of the Dragon Emperor, even I lost a move to him."

The ancient iron dragon remained unfazed, calmly strode past the golden dragons Bayhart and Ilu, who were staring at it.

Seeing the ancient iron dragon disappear around the bend, Bayort slowly shook his head, turned to look at Nero, the red dragon who was perched on the treetop and had transformed into an ancient roc, and asked, "What is this giant dragon doing here? Why did it get beaten up?"

The ancient roc shook its steel feathers and looked down at the ordinary old golden dragon, saying, "That is the grandfather of Iron Dragon Morton. Because he was dissatisfied with some of Iron Dragon Morton's actions after returning to the Middle World, he suppressed his descendants and came to the Dragon King's Court to argue with the God Emperor."

Medusa, the avatar of the green dragon Salera, chuckled, "He's only been in the Dragon King's Court for less than a quarter of an hour, not even as long as he's been lying on the ground."

"And if you factor in the theoretical time, hehe,"

Bayhart shook his head with amusement. Even as the Dragon God, he felt that the Golden Empire's style was quite unique compared to the other dragons.

This is also why he enjoys staying in this civilization as an ordinary teacher.

When Bayhart and Ilu entered the royal court, greeted by the Storm Giants and the Golden Guard, the young dragons who had been watching and waiting became serious.

These young dragons will soon return to the world of Lypunos, but what has brought them together here is not only to watch the farce of Iron Dragon Morton's grandfather, but also for a more important reason.

The Dragon Emperor once told these young dragons that he had taught them when they were young, and that the future Dragon Emperor would have plenty of time to teach and accompany them.

This is a lineage of the Gogmora dragons.

However, if the Dragon Emperor's bloodline is corrupted or fails to meet the Emperor's expectations, then the Dragon Emperor will personally beat all of these young dragons, and beat them severely.

These young dragons did not doubt the Dragon Emperor's words, because the Dragon Emperor was truly capable of such a thing.

Of course, I'm not referring to the first sentence, but to the second.

Nobody wants to get beaten up; that's the biggest demand of many young dragons in the current empire.
