Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 589 Lord of the Silver Dragon
"We haven't heard much from Caron lately. Where have he and Mogeyes gone this time?"

The green dragon Antajena, in human form, sat opposite the silver dragon Chris Tiana, smiling and chatting.

Antajena, who rarely spends time alone with the silver dragon, ascends to Chris's palace alone, and the silver dragon gives this green dragon king a very grand reception.

Not only did the surrounding maids bring out precious tea leaves from the private dragon plantation of the green dragon Antajena to entertain one of the dragon emperor's closest companions, as a way of showing their small support for the green dragon.

Chris also instructed her maid to retrieve the finest life essence she had selected from the gifts of the Zerg Queen Livzeta from her frozen vault to entertain the green dragon with a mysterious smile.

“If even you don’t know anything about Caron, how would I know?”

Silver Dragon Chris's lips curled slightly as she looked at the storm-like glint in the Green Dragon's eyes. Suddenly, she dismissed the maid beside her and raised her hand to indicate that Antajena should pour herself some tea.

She watched Antajena's fluid movements, so perfect they resembled the art of a tea master in the empire, a sight to behold.

"Kalon isn't asking you to be in charge of communicating and liaising with the conquering legions within the kingdoms of the Northern Continent of Aikania in preparation for future plans to expand into the world,"

Chris suddenly spoke up and asked, "Why do you have time to come and chat with me during the day? Although many small things can usually be handled by your other dragons and managers, you need to put in more effort for such a meticulous matter, Antajena."

The green dragon first filled the teacup in front of the silver dragon, then smiled and said, "No matter how busy things are, there will always be moments of free time. You can't expect me to be involved in every little detail, can you?"

Antajana glanced over the silver dragon's palace and changed the subject, saying, "However, Chris, your palace is always too desolate; it doesn't suit your status."

"Whether you are the consort of the emperor or the queen who rules over the silver dragon race, you should not let your palace be like a desolate castle in the mortal world, with only a few maids to serve you."

Silver Dragon Chris extended her fingers and gently tapped them on the long table in front of her, all the while watching Antajena's expression.

Seeing that Antajena was still looking at her palace with a curious gaze and her expression remained unchanged, the silver dragon Chris suddenly sighed.

"It would be better if there were fewer people."

Chris said earnestly, "With fewer people around, it's easier to tell who's sincere and who's fake."

"The more people surround me, the harder it is for me to see their true colors. Don't you agree, Antajena?"

When he uttered the name Antajena, the silver dragon's tone suddenly rose slightly.

The green dragon sitting opposite Chris suddenly stiffened slightly. Even though this moment of stalemate lasted only half a blink of an eye, the observant silver dragon still managed to capture it completely.

Antajena slowly turned her head, refocusing her gaze on the silver dragon's beautiful face, and asked with a hint of surprise, "I think my performance was flawless, both in terms of physicality and tone of voice."

"Even in terms of power and soul fluctuations, my existence is exactly the same as that green dragon's, so perfect that even I can't find any flaws,"

"But why were you able to so easily spot my weakness?"

At this moment, although Antajena still maintained the appearance of the green dragon when it transformed into a humanoid form, her words, actions, and aura had completely transformed into another being.

This being did not attempt to bewitch or continue to deceive the silver dragon Chris with words, but instead openly voiced its doubts.

"Could it be that I made a mistake in some step of the tea ceremony technique that I learned and replicated from those mortals in the Golden Empire, or does my unannounced visit prove that the rumors of your rivalry and discord with the Green Dragon Antajena are true?"

Antajena's eyes darted around, and even though it was just ordinary language and straightforward communication, the silver dragon Chris still sensed the trap and danger within.

If her relationship with Antajena is as bad as rumored, then it may become a flaw that the other party will focus on in the long run.

The silver dragon merely smiled slightly, its cheeks faintly revealing beautiful silver scales reminiscent of a dragon, giving it a sacred beauty mixed with the mature allure of a married woman.

"Your imitation is flawless; even I can't detect any problems."

Chris suddenly stretched out her fair palm, her skin almost transparent, and even the veins that had perfectly transformed into a humanoid form were faintly visible.

Her gaze swept over the screens erected on both sides of the palace, where the mountains, animals, lakes, strange creatures, and birds flying in the sky were all depicted with lifelike detail.

However, these living magical elementals, which possessed detection and warning capabilities and were blessed with various spells by the imperial mages, showed no reaction whatsoever. They continued to stare with wide eyes, seemingly oblivious to what was happening inside the palace.

Chris shook her head slightly and continued, "But you overlooked one of my actions,"

Chris bent her thumb and tapped her index and middle fingers lightly on the long table in front of her.

"This is a gesture of gratitude, thanking you for pouring me tea,"

Antajena frowned, and said with a hint of confusion, "You are dragons, do you think it's a flaw just because I didn't return the gift?"

"How can dragons use the same rituals as ordinary mortals? Besides, weren't you all beasts before?"

Chris listened intently to the sounds outside the palace. She could clearly hear the orderly marching of small, well-organized squads and the continuous clanging of steel armor.

The Imperial Legions, whether main combat legions or standing legions, are well-trained.

Fully armored and armed, they would march a hundred paces at a rapid pace, then pause noticeably. This pause was to reorganize the legion's formation and prevent the rapid pace from disrupting their composure.

These training movements, deeply ingrained in their very being, have long been a habit of the Imperial Legion.

The silver dragon breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the sounds of reinforcements arriving around the palace, and its previous hesitation to stall for time now became normal.

"That's not the issue, it's my thank-you gift,"

Chris smiled and said softly, "This gesture is a thank-you gift used by a superior to express gratitude to a subordinate. Do you think I could use such a thank-you gift in front of Antajena without incurring her wrath?"

Antajena nodded thoughtfully, seemingly unconcerned about the rapid, heavy footsteps outside the palace.

But the mysterious being disguised as Antajena quickly realized what was happening and squinted at the seemingly innocent silver dragon.

"No, then how did you determine before this that I wasn't Antajena?" The silver dragon slowly stood up, her gossamer-thin dress cascading down like silver light, ethereal and otherworldly.

This shimmering brocade, woven from the silk threads spun by the extraordinary magical beast species Frost Silkworm that lives in the Frost Plains, and gathered from the clouds, using the art of warp and weft separation, not only naturally possesses the blessing of shielding the mind from negative influences, but also has a strong resistance to magical energy.

Moreover, the necklace worn by Chris on her long neck was a magical defensive treasure specially forged by the imperial magicians for the imperial dragon kings.

The ancient dragon runes that slowly rotate within the ruby ​​at the very center of this necklace represent the dragon amulet that only the most powerful and superior members of the dragon race can forge.

As for the dragon amulet worn by the silver dragon Chris, it goes without saying which powerful superior it came from.

This is precisely why Silver Dragon Chris still has a certain degree of confidence even when facing this mysterious and unpredictable being.

"You don't need to know that, but I do want to ask you, who exactly is it?"

Chris, tall and slender, looked down at me and said calmly, "If you had told me, perhaps you could have been pardoned from your death sentence because of your service to the Empire!"

"whee,"

Antajena's appearance suddenly changed, but it was obscured by a thick fog, making it impossible to see her true face, like a faceless person.

Its entire body was slowly fading and dissipating like mist, turning from solid to ethereal, and from ethereal to nothing.

Throughout the entire palace, only the eerie, overlapping sounds of this mysterious being slowly echoed.

"I know, that guy Caron Gogmora went to find a way to deal with us. Hehe, once he's gone, you're all doomed!"

The palace fell silent, except for the rows of fully armed Dragon King guards standing outside the palace gates.

The Storm Guards and Golden Guards, temporarily assigned by the Dragon Emperor to guard Chris's Palace, were already on high alert. Chris even saw dozens of Storm Giants pushing over the Empire's magic cannons and setting them up on the watchtowers around the palace.

The ogre maidservant, who had been waved away by Chris, was standing among the Golden Guards, clucking and chattering like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Your Majesty Chris,"

The commander of the Golden Guard stood at the palace gate, bowing his head deeply, and said in a muffled voice, "It is our dereliction of duty to allow such a dangerous thing to infiltrate His Majesty's palace."

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Chris smiled gently and waved her hand. The fine scales on her cheeks had disappeared without a trace, making her look as noble as a queen from a mortal kingdom.

"Alright, this isn't your fault. After all, there are many things in the world that even His Majesty the Emperor cannot easily resolve."

"You may go back. Just strengthen the patrols. Also, you need to inform the other Dragon Kings in the Empire about what happened here, and tell them to be careful!"

The Golden Guard and the Storm Guard retreated in an orderly fashion and took up positions around the palace, but the magic cannons on the watchtowers were still not withdrawn.

One after another, storm giants stood on the watchtower, gazing in all directions. Terrifying mental power seemed to overflow from the helmets of these giants, forming mental lightning.

The ogre maidens surrounded the silver dragon, who had settled down again and was calmly reading a book, and asked anxiously, "Mistress Chris, what kind of evil thing is it? Did it harm you?"

"Should we inform His Majesty the Emperor, lest the prince and princess in your womb also be affected by some inexplicable influence?"

Although the ogre maid was weak, she had served the empire's ruler for many days and had already heard of many secrets and powerful beings in the world.

The existence of things like divine abominations, abominations, evil gods, ancient gods, and void evils can all be found in the Empire's library with corresponding records and descriptions.

Chris remained unmoved, simply shaking her head slightly and saying, "With their current power, those things cannot significantly influence the present world. Moreover, I possess the Emperor's favor and blessing, rendering the spells of ordinary evil gods ineffective against me."

"I'm just worried that if those guys find out that the Emperor has a way to deal with them, it might drive them crazy."

Thinking of this, Silver Dragon Chris put down the theoretical knowledge she had compiled and summarized, and became slightly worried.

There was no discord between the green dragon Antajena and herself.

Although Chris and the green dragon Antajena did not have many private interactions, they did visit each other's dragon nests quite often.

This is because of the Dragon Emperor. For the sake of Charon, neither Chris nor Antajena wanted to have any dirty dealings with each other and become targets that Charon would gradually hate.

After all, the great red dragon has never liked infighting within the Goggmora dragonflight; reasonable, open competition is the driving force for the Empire's progress.

Therefore, even though there are radical factions of metallic dragons and conservative factions of chromatic dragons within the Gogmora dragonflight, they still maintain a deep unity and stability under the will of the Dragon Emperor.

It was Antajena's understanding of her personality that allowed the silver dragon Chris to see through the evil god's disguise.

The Green Dragon King was so proud that even if she couldn't find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor, she wouldn't try to get information from the Silver Dragon Chris. Antajena would only go to the Pik Elf Raven and then order Raven to do things.

This is why Silver Dragon Chris initially suspected this evil god.

The next steps were nothing more than confirming their suspicions.

"No wonder those gods and evil spirits don't care much about powerful civilizations in the mortal world, regarding them with contempt as if they were ants or mantises."

Chris raised her head slightly and sighed, "Only those powerful nations and civilizations that have clearly offended the majesty of the gods and eroded the authority of the gods will be punished by those gods with divine retribution, and be subject to the destruction of their world and their nation."

"If those powerful gods were to set aside their pride and dignity, they would have plenty of ways to destroy a mighty kingdom. The changes in the magic of such evil gods are so subtle that I couldn't even detect the slightest clue."

"You must know, the Goggmora dragons value the mind and revere the spirit,"

"I wonder if all evil gods possess such methods and spells! I need to think about how to avoid such methods."
