Chapter 304 What kind of dragon are you?!

【AIO Logistics】Headquarters, the Nest of Dragons.

"Hey Seth, next time you need my help, could you at least let me know in advance? Do you know how much money I'll lose just from one trip like this?"

On the dragon's take-off and landing platform, an old man with purple hair, whose face bore as many nail holes as Payne's, spoke with dissatisfaction to another middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, Seth rolled his eyes and then said expressionlessly, "Three hundred years ago, because you wanted to dye your scales at the last minute, our order was overdue and we were fined by the group. We spent two whole years paying back that fine."

"A hundred years ago, you said you wanted to be with a certain little female dragon."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that his past was about to be exposed, the purple-haired old man's eyes twitched as he called a halt to his old friend's talk. He then sighed helplessly, "Fine, I give up. But let's not keep bringing up these old stories."

"hehe."

Seth's smile was insincere, clearly indicating that he didn't take the other person's words to heart.

However, the purple-haired old man only complained casually. They were all friends who had risked their lives for each other, so asking him to give them a ride was nothing: "Then I'll be going now. Contact me when you're ready to go back."

Having said that, before the dragon could react, he revealed his dragon form and then disappeared into the stardust.

Seeing this, Seth shook his head slightly, then turned and asked, "Elise, you should still know the way to the Tiamat branch, right?"

"Ah."

Elise nodded, then revealed her true form and flew unsteadily eastward.

Li Ang felt that the little dragon seemed to have gotten a bit fatter, even though it didn't look any different when it was in human form.

'Could it be that I've been eating too well lately?'

These past two days, he's been feeding her metal blocks provided by the Tyrant Demon God Ship Corps, which are much stronger than those refined from ordinary metals. This is probably why Elise couldn't control her body for a moment.

However, he did not intend to cut back on the little dragon's food for this reason, since the metal it ate would eventually be transformed into the lava core it had condensed when fighting Manfred.

Just as Li Ang was lost in thought, Seth spoke up, "Let's go, we'll pick her up after this is all over."

Before they set off, the two had already asked Elise whether she planned to stay in Dragon's Nest or continue back to Morabis with Leon.

Her answer was undoubtedly the latter. After all, in this universe, only Leon could completely kill metal, so the little dog dragon would not leave such a delicious meal to stay in the dragon's nest and eat dirt instead.

Upon hearing this, Li Ang immediately came to his senses: "Then I'll trouble Grandfather to lead the way."

Since it was his first visit to the headquarters of [AIO Logistics], he naturally did not know where his destination was.

Although the Great Luo Cave Observation could provide a clear view of the planet beneath his feet, Li Ang had no intention of following in Gu Jiting's footsteps. After all, who knew what terrifying beings were lurking here? He didn't believe that the headquarters of a giant global corporation wouldn't have an eighth-level being.

While they were thinking, the two had already flown an extremely long distance, but the situation along the way was rather strange.

Looking at the crooked and twisted dragons around him, Seth was puzzled for a moment.

'I didn't manifest my dragon form either,' he thought, but then he quickly realized something and turned to look at the young man beside him. 'Is it because of this little guy?'

Ever since they met again, Li Ang has given him a strange feeling, but he can't quite put his finger on what's wrong.

Just as Seth was about to ask a question, a voice suddenly came from afar.

"Seth!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a giant emerald dragon appeared before the two of them, accompanied by a howling wind.

However, he was clearly taken aback when he saw that his old friend was not in dragon form.

Before the emerald dragon could speak, Seth smirked and said, "This has nothing to do with me, Chimera."

As he spoke, he introduced the other person to Li Ang: "This is Chimera, and the airspace near the take-off and landing platform is under his jurisdiction."

Upon hearing this, Zimela said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I thought you had forgotten my instructions again."

Seemingly to change the subject, the emerald dragon quickly turned its gaze to Li Ang: "You're the little guy Seth keeps talking about, right?"

"As expected... uh."

However, Zimela suddenly stopped midway through her sentence.

At this moment, he finally understood why Seth had reacted the way he had when he asked the little guy what kind of dragon it was.

Looking at the young man waiting for her to say the next word, Zimera was momentarily at a loss.

Is this little guy really a bronze dragon?
Although he did smell something similar, it was mixed with other scents, something even a mutated dragon shouldn't have.
After a brief silence, the emerald dragon chuckled, "Just as Seth said, young and promising, hahaha."

"Well, since you have other important matters to attend to, I won't bother you any longer."

As she spoke, Zimera prepared to leave, completely forgetting why she had originally come here.

After flapping his wings and flying quite a distance, he suddenly turned back as if he had remembered something: "By the way, Seth, because the Tiamat branch lost a big order some time ago, Lord Mazres has been in a bad mood these past few days. You'd better be careful later."

Upon hearing this, Seth immediately frowned, but still managed to say thank you: "Thank you, this news has been a great help to me." "You're too kind," Zimera waved her paw, indicating that he shouldn't take it to heart. "If it weren't for you, Esther and I would probably be dead by now, and we wouldn't be where we are today."

"I'll get back to work now, you guys do as you please."

After speaking, the emerald dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Seth didn't care about his departure, but stood there silently with a very serious expression.

'Tsk, this is getting a bit troublesome.'

If he had known this would happen, he would have brought the little guy to the Dragon's Nest at another time.

Unfortunately, that's not an option right now. After all, he had already reported the matter to the group a couple of days ago, and those higher-ups were unlikely to agree to the request to change the meeting time.

'We can only take it one step at a time, but with Lord Randolph around, things shouldn't be too dangerous.'

Thinking of this, Seth took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Since he brought Li Ang to the Dragon's Nest, he naturally has the responsibility to bring him away from here intact.

Just as Seth was pondering a countermeasure, Leon frowned and began to recall the information in his mind.

Seth had already told him all the precautions before he set off, including information about Lord Mazresh.

The opponent was a red dragon of the seventh energy level, and one of the five-colored dragons that was most averse to metal dragons.

While they wouldn't necessarily start fighting and killing metal dragons the moment they see them, they'd certainly make things difficult for them.

And this is under normal circumstances. If Lord Mazresh were in a bad mood, he would obviously dislike the metal dragon even more.

Just as Li Ang was recalling the relevant intelligence, Seth said in a calm voice, "I will answer the questions from the adults later. You should try to remain silent."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As he spoke, he took out his communication device and sent several messages, clearly making some preparations in advance.

But in fact, Li Ang was not flustered at all at this moment. After all, he had no conflict with Lord Mazresh. He couldn't possibly kill him just because he was a metal dragon, could he?

If that's the case, then the metal dragon and the five-colored dragon from [AIO Logistics] would have been fighting long ago.

Moreover, whether he can even be considered a metal dragon is now questionable.

After a while, Seth breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the positive reply from the communication device: "Let's go, don't keep the adults waiting."

After saying that, he took the lead and flew towards his destination.

Not long after, a nest made entirely of gold came into Li Ang's view.

Gazing at the golden lair gleaming in the sunlight in the distance, he thought to himself:
'As expected, dragons from any world all love shiny things.'

With that thought in mind, he followed Seth into the magnificent lair.

Upon seeing the two, the dog-headed people along the way all knelt down to show their respect.

Of course, there were also some female kobolds who struck seductive poses, trying to seduce Li Ang and his companion into leaving their noble dragon bloodline within them.

Seeing this, Li Ang almost lost control of his emotions.

Although dragons are listed in his race list, his aesthetic hasn't changed much. Let other dragons enjoy the kobolds.

In silence, the two entered a circular hall one after the other.

Before Li Ang could react, Seth stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Seth Nepper, Li Ang, have come to pay your respects."

Upon hearing his voice, many dragon heads immediately emerged from the surrounding high platforms, and most of them focused their gazes on Li Ang, who was positioned at the rear.

Despite the gazes coming from all directions, Li Ang remained remarkably calm, though he couldn't help but inwardly marvel at the sight.

'Good heavens, they're all seventh-level dragons.'

He now understood the true strength of the global conglomerate. After all, there were thirty or forty seventh-level dragons in this circular hall alone, not to mention the eighth-level dragons hidden in the shadows and the seventh-level dragons that were not currently in the dragon's lair.

After a brief silence, a voice came from the high platform.

"Li Ang."

"Come forward and let me see what this so-called genius is really made of."

It's Mazresh.

Upon hearing this voice, Seth couldn't help but frown slightly.

This was undoubtedly the worst-case scenario, but perhaps it was just his imagination, but he felt that the other person didn't seem as irritable as Chimera had described.

'strangeness.'
