Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 138 Saint-Rank Silver Dragon, The Long-cherished Wish of Return
The Empire of Dawn, also known as the Empire of Dawn's Light.

This empire is one of the three oldest empires in human history, and it is also a mortal kingdom of faith under the god of dawn and hope among the human gods.

"The power of space? A black dragon?"

“Angelina, you should know the consequences of deceiving a saint, even if you are a descendant of my brother.”

After hearing everything that Angelina, the dragon noblewoman, had seen and heard, the silver dragon Camilla's expression first froze, and then her eyes were filled with doubt.

She looked at the female warrior before her, her terrifying aura seemingly freezing the surrounding space.

Facing this silver dragon, which was merely of sub-dragon blood, Angelina remained unmoved and instead continued calmly:

“Ms. Camilla, Aidi witnessed this with her own eyes. You may not believe me, but I think you should at least believe me, Aidi?”

Upon hearing this, the silver dragon Camilla slowly stood up, looking down at the tiny humans beneath her with her towering height of nearly three hundred meters.

Camilla, a Saint-ranked silver dragon, is one of the oldest sub-dragons, just like Amos, an earth dragon.

Although he was not as old as Amos.

However, compared to Amos, the silver dragon Camilla was much luckier.

Regardless, He at least gained the approval of a deity and was fortunate enough to enter the ranks of saints.

Unfortunately, like the Crimson Dragon, in this era without divine favor, her lifespan as a Saint-level being is only about ten thousand years.

Furthermore, because they have become Saints, their lifespan will suffer a certain backlash.

Currently, this silver dragon is actually quite strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

But a Saint-rank is still a Saint-rank. Its standing height alone is close to two hundred meters. Compared to the crimson slender dragon, this silver dragon's size is very similar to that of a pure-blooded silver dragon, extremely robust, and its entire body is already over eight hundred meters long.

In terms of size, it far surpasses Amos and Crimson.

However, it must be said that, after all, it is at the Saint rank, so it is not difficult to understand.

The moment the silver dragon stood up, it resembled a silver mountain, even startling many members of the Lambert family who were currently in this fiefdom.

However, in the face of any action by the Silver Dragon, without being summoned by the Silver Dragon, these humans of the Lambert family dared not make any attempt to spy or come rashly.

At this moment, the silver dragon Camilla looks down at Angelina.

"Atty, now that you're back, come over here! What? Are you afraid of your mother?"

The voice of the silver dragon Camilla echoed all around.

The next moment, a small silver dragon, over 120 meters long, emerged from a palace.

Then, with a slightly frightened expression, he quickly approached Camilla.

Silver Dragon Aidi landed in front of her mother, Camilla, and looked at the silver dragon with a somewhat timid neck, speaking in a low voice immediately.

"Mother."

Camilla looked at her daughter, Addie, in front of her with an indifferent expression.

There was absolutely no aura of maternal love and filial piety between them; they were like strangers or perhaps in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Camilla looked down at the little silver dragon, Edie.

He casually remarked, "You don't resemble a dragon at all! So timid and hesitant, just like your detestable father!"

"However, it's up to you. After all, you're not worthy of having the identity of a dragon!"

Silver Dragon Edie listened to her mother's words and wanted to refute them.

But under Camilla's powerful aura, she immediately lowered her head, and there were already faint tears in her eyes.

Seeing the silver dragon Aidi acting like a little girl, the silver dragon Camilla not only didn't feel guilty, but seemed to feel even more disgusted.

Then, he asked directly:
"I heard you encountered a pure-blooded dragon while you were out with Angelina. Tell me the truth! Tell me everything you know!"

Silver Dragon Aidi bravely held back her tears, and when she looked up, a hint of stubbornness appeared in her eyes.

He then directly recounted what had happened in the Western Frontier Monster Battlefield.

Listening to the almost identical statements from Edie and Angelina, the silver dragon Camilla's entire body trembled imperceptibly throughout the process.

However, she ultimately tried her best to hide her excitement.

At the same time, with a questioning attitude, he muttered to himself:
"Space and the Black Dragon, these two things can never be related."

"However, if it is truly the power of space, then external appearances are indeed meaningless."

"But the dragons have been gone for so long, even if they return, there shouldn't be only one pure-blooded dragon appearing. There must be more to the story."

Angelina listened to the silver dragon Kamina's murmur, her cool eyes flickering, and she immediately replied:

"There must be some hidden story, that's beyond doubt."

"Moreover, the ability to instantly kill two ninth-tier magical beasts using only spatial power is something that none of the existing spatial artifacts can achieve."

The silver dragon Camilla looked down at Angelina once more, giving her a rare nod of approval.

"In ancient times, the Void Crystals had already been completely mined by various races."

"Space artifacts that have survived to this day are already rare, and space artifacts that can instantly kill two ninth-tier magical beasts are almost impossible to exist."

"Moreover, the power of space is too special. Not to mention the dragon race, even the gods of various races cannot touch this power."

"Therefore, there are only a few reasonable speculations that could lead to this situation."

At this point, the silver dragon Camilla suddenly stopped talking, and her eyes involuntarily revealed worry and panic.

"Firstly, there are pure-blooded dragon eggs that have been dormant until now, and have hatched in the present era and mastered the power of space. If this is the case, it indirectly means that the situation of those dragons that disappeared is likely to be very bad. However, this possibility is very low. After all, the probability of a dragon egg being left out is extremely low. Since the disappearance of the dragon race, there has never been anything like this."

"Secondly, this matter is indeed a symbol and beginning of the dragons' return. Perhaps it was part of that noble sage's plan. The dragons were unable to return immediately, just as the gods have been unable to descend to earth for a long time. In short, this matter is full of too many uncertainties."

"But in any case, we cannot turn a blind eye to this matter. Necessary actions must be taken, and we must be cautious. What does Ms. Camilla think?"

Angelina completely disregarded Camilla's feelings and directly stated her analysis.

Camilla looked at Angelina again, her expression shifting between surprise and astonishment.

"This generation of the Lambert Silver Dragon family is quite remarkable, to have produced such a clever descendant as you."

"But, Angelina, do you know how I will treat you after you bring this news back?"

“I imagine that you descendants of the Lambert family cannot be unaware of my affairs, so aren’t you afraid?”

"You should know that I'm capable of anything to keep things secret."

As the silver dragon Camilla looked down at Angelina, a dangerous glint was already visible in her indifferent eyes.

However, Angelina smiled, which was quite rare for her.

"Madam, you won't."

“You are just like those two wyverns in the Monster Mountain Range. I dare to stand here and say these things because I have already considered it.”

"Moreover, as you know, madam, the situation of dragons and dragonkin in this era is such that our entire dragon-blooded nobility is actually happy to see the dragons return."

"In fact, I was very sincere. I told you as soon as I learned about this. I don't think anyone else knows about this except you, me, and Etty."

"So, ma'am, do you think I have any reason to be afraid?"

Angelina smiled faintly, while Camilla, the silver dragon, gazed at her intently for a long time.

"Truly intelligent."

"Enough. In this era, you human dragon-descended nobles certainly have no need to disrupt the plan for the dragons' return." "But too many people will have too many opinions. Before this matter is confirmed, we should not let more dragons know about it."

At this point, the silver dragon Camilla pondered for a moment.

“Amos the dragon turtle is a bit older than me, and his experiences are even similar to mine, so it’s understandable that he was the first to receive the favor.”

"In fact, he might even be an important participant in this matter. If that's the case, then this old guy has been hiding his true intentions very well."

"But in my opinion, the probability of that is actually not high."

"As for Crimson Red, she is a sub-dragon native to the Monster Mountain Range, and she certainly doesn't know more than the old turtle and I."

After careful consideration and a moment's thought, the silver dragon Camilla said solemnly:

"Currently, the pure-blooded dragon race has only discovered the existence of that one black dragon, which also means that this matter itself may be a method similar to the proxy of the gods."

"But among dragons, there is almost no precedent for acting on behalf of others, after all, we dragons don't need things like faith!"

"However, times change, and generalizations cannot be made."

"Then, for now, it's up to you, Angelina, and Ady to confirm this matter."

"No problem?"

Silver Dragon looked seriously at Angelina and Edie to the side.

Little Silver Dragon Aidi nodded silently.

Angelina nodded noncommittally and said, "That's no problem, but for a deeper exchange, I think I'll need your token, Ms. Camilla. Otherwise, the exchange with those two won't go so smoothly."

Keepsake?

Camilla pondered for a moment, then raised her claws and, enduring the pain, tore off a silver dragon scale from her chest!
No blood flowed from its wound, and its injury was healed the instant the dragon scale was torn off.

Therefore, all that remains on the silver dragon's chest is now a blank space where a single scale has been completely removed.

Breast scales!

The scales on the chest of dragons are of great significance.

"Take this with you!"

“I want to see this breast scale, and the dragon turtle will naturally understand what I mean.”

"Even if he doesn't say anything, I don't think he'll make things difficult for you."

The enormous scales slowly fell in the silver light, while simultaneously shrinking rapidly.

Finally, by the time it reached Angelina's hands, it was only the size of an ordinary leaf.

Looking at the chest scale in her hand, Angelina glanced at the silver dragon and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, the little silver dragon, Edie, couldn't help but look at her mother, who didn't approve of her, with concern and asked:
"Mother, are you alright?"

Camilla, the silver dragon, looked at her daughter.

A hint of complexity flickered in her eyes, but it was quickly masked by indifference: "Just focus on your own business. I'm not that fragile."

Little Silver Dragon Aidi felt wronged and finally lowered her head again.

"Ok."

Seeing the little silver dragon's reaction, the silver dragon Camilla didn't say anything more.

He simply said, "Go ahead, I hope you won't disappoint me."

He gave them both a deep look, then slowly lowered himself down again.

Angelina didn't say anything more.

Having obtained the dragon scales, she had achieved her goal. Therefore, she nodded to the silver dragon and then left in the direction she had come from.

The little silver dragon naturally followed Angelina away.

Until the two are far enough apart.

Kamina, the silver dragon who seemed to be resting and sleeping again, slowly opened her eyes.

Looking in the direction the two had left, the silver dragon's expression showed slight pain.

"It seems I'm really close to my limit."

"Even a single chest scale can cause me such pain."

"Saint-level? If I had known this would happen, perhaps my brother would have regretted it too?"

"But what's the use of regret? In order to wait for the return of the dragons and for the appearance of the Dragon Father, this was the best choice back then."

With a deep sigh, the silver dragon glanced at the sky and murmured to itself.

"I hope I can hold on until I actually see that day."

As he spoke, the silver dragon suddenly recalled the scene when the little silver dragon, Edie, first met him.

It also reminded me of certain scenes where my brother and I had to pledge our loyalty in order to gain the approval of the God of Dawn.

These past scenes seem like they happened just yesterday.

It contains painful choices, as well as scenes of dragons bowing their noble heads.

In short, the fact that the silver dragon Camilla was able to become a Saint-ranked being is inseparable from the sacrifice of her brother and the later birth of the little silver dragon Aidi.

"Unbeknownst to us, about eight thousand years have passed since the disappearance of Dragon Island and the Dragon Clan."

"Time flies so fast!"

Silver Dragon sighed deeply.

For her at that time, the news Angelina brought back was indeed a shot in the arm.

Without this news, she might have simply passed away quietly in this giant garden.

But after this news came out, everything changed.

Returning to the embrace of the dragons was Camilla's brother's long-cherished wish, and also his last wish.

It was the sacrifice of Camilla's brother that enabled Camilla to achieve the Saint rank without shedding the blood of her own kind.

They want to return to the embrace of the dragons, or rather, the dragons want to gain the recognition of Dragon Island.

Strictly enforcing the Dragon Code is the primary condition.

Without this condition, the dragon wouldn't even be able to stay in the surrounding waters, let alone enter Dragon Island.

Camilla had waited far too long for this day.

If it weren't for the fact that she was already a Saint-level being and it was inconvenient for her to act, she really wanted to find out the situation herself.

But if she actually did that.

Putting aside whether the old monsters in the Monster Mountains would notice her, it's certain that she couldn't be kept in the dark by the human kingdoms.

At this critical juncture, she certainly wouldn't do anything foolish.

Therefore, for now, she can only place all her hopes on Angelina and Edie.
