He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 139 The Calm Before the Storm
The Southern District of Hakoniwa is widely recognized as the largest alliance community in the Southern District: the Dragon Horned Lion Alliance.

In the conference room.

Staff officer Galoro looked at the letter in his hand bearing the banner of Salamander and was filled with emotion.

"Unexpectedly, Lao Long finally succumbed to reality?"

Galoro Gendegger is the leader of the Six Wounds, a sub-community of the Dragonhorn Griffin Alliance, and also one of the alliance's strategists.

As a veteran four-digit pet, and a rare cat-type mythical beast, Garolo is the founder and veteran of the Dragon Horned Griffin, and has a prestigious reputation in the Southern District.

At the same time, he was also a former member of the Arcadia Grand Alliance, one of the very few old guys who survived the evil dragon war two hundred years ago, and also a comrade-in-arms of that old dragon.

He was one of the very few insiders who knew the truth about Salamandra's gradual decline, and he even knew that the old dragon had joined a certain demon king alliance.

Even the old dragon's eldest daughter, Sarah Terdorek, was entrusted to his care and has now become the leader of the dragon-horned griffons.

Reflecting on this, he looked up at the woman sitting in the main seat, who had orange hair, wheat-colored skin, and a beautiful figure.

At this moment, the woman frowned and asked.

"Boss, what happened with Salamandra?"

Sarah Terdorek, a four-digit yalong, was originally the first in line to succeed Salamander.

However, for various reasons, he broke away from Salamander and came to the South District. Through his own efforts and with Salamander's protection, he became the leader of the Dragon Horned Griffin.

Of course, the reasons behind this are beyond what outsiders can know.

However, because of this, the other party has been heartbroken by Salamandra, and the only reason she still cares about Salamandra now is because her sister and brother are still there.

However, attention is limited. As the new leader and speaker, she has a lot to do every day, especially since she became the leader by force, but being a leader is not just about being strong in military force.

She has a lot to learn as well.

Galoro smiled and took out a letter, handing it to Sarah.

This is a letter that the old Dragon King once left for Sarah. It was probably a resolute decision and a backup plan.
Galoro didn't open it to look at it; he simply followed his old friend's suggestion and gave it to Sarah at the appropriate time.

It details his mistakes, the reasons for ousting Sarah from Salamander, some of the truths behind Salamander's downfall, and his worst-case scenario.

Sarah Terdorek, in a sense, represents the last legacy of the fire dragon race left outside, and also the hope for their resurgence.

After all, Canary had gone too far, leaving Salamander no way out. This is why the Arcadia Grand Alliance became somewhat disloyal after the War of the Evil Dragon.

Otherwise, even with only 20% of their remaining strength, under Canary's command, they would definitely have the power to withstand a three-digit number of opponents.

However, for Salamander now, all the previous arrangements and backup plans have become meaningless, because Su Nian's arrival has brought them new hope and a new future.

All they need to do now is cling to Su Nian's coattails, and the future of the Fire Dragon Clan will be one of endless glory.

"Galolo looked at Sarah, whose expression was complicated," he said.

"Want to go back?"

"Go, and while you're at it, see what the savior who saved Salamander looks like."

Sarah made up her mind.

North District, [678900] Outer Gate.

At the headquarters of the community [Azure Flame], a high-ranking officer named 'Pumpkin Jack', who has a pumpkin head, a cloaked body, and no legs and can only walk by floating, walked over holding an invitation in his hands, which were formed from his white gloves.

"Aisha, speaking of which, the Northern District's Salamander is going to hold a grand festival in the next few days to celebrate the arrival of a pure-blooded dragon as the ruler of the hierarchy."

"Should we go to the celebration and participate in a few of the blessing games while we're at it?"

Upon hearing this, a girl with light blue twin ponytails and wearing a dark blue gothic dress walked into the living room.

Aisha Ignifate was originally a human soul who died in an earthquake in the outer universe. After wandering in the human world for hundreds of years, she was taken in by Vera Zha Ignifate, the founder and leader of Hidden Sword, and came to the Little Garden with him a few years ago. She can be considered an elder of the community.

At this moment, Aisha, who loved excitement, poked her head out.

"Is that the famous Fire Dragon Birth Festival in the North District? I think we won it last year!!"

"Yes."

Jack laughed and nodded.

"And I heard that this year's scale is more than a hundred times that of the previous Fire Dragon Birth Festival."

"It is said that if one wins the [Duel of the Creator], the Dragon God will grant the winner one wish."

The Duel of the Creators is a gift game held annually during the Fire Dragon's Birth Festival, attracting countless participants with the Creation-type Gift.

Because of the harsh natural environment in the North District, the Creative Arts Gifts, which can be used for a long time, are highly valued, and competitions are often held to evaluate the technical and artistic aspects of the Creative Arts Gifts.

The Azure Flame are one of the top communities in the lower realms, renowned for their creation of gifts. Among them, Pumpkin Jack's craftsmanship is comparable to that of some blacksmithing gods.

Naturally, they would also be involved this time.

Upon hearing Jack's words, Aisha couldn't help but show an excited expression.

"A wish? Then we'll definitely win again this time, right Jack!!"

Aisha looked at Jack expectantly.

"This might be a bit difficult, but I don't think we will fail!! In the name of Azure Flame!!"

Pumpkin Jack laughed confidently as he spoke.

"But what about Vera? Is she staying home again this time?"

"It would be such a shame if Vera missed such a grand festival."

Aisha glanced at the innermost room with some regret and sighed helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do. You know Vera's personality. Because of that pervert, she's even afraid to leave the house."

Jack shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, it seems like it'll be just the two of us going this time."

Aisha was a little down, but she quickly cheered up.

South District, Upper Level, inside a European-style castle.

A purple-haired woman with braided pigtails, dressed in a well-tailored butler's uniform, walked across a garden filled with flowers blooming in all four seasons, her feet treading on the smooth, white marble floor.

Walking forward, in the very center of the garden, stood a snow-white pavilion.

A person was sitting at the stone table under the pavilion.

Her golden hair shone as brightly as the sun, and she wore a fiery red dress that resembled flames.

She was a woman whose appearance was so perfect that she seemed inhuman, who possessed both childlike innocence and astonishing demonic power, existing between a girl and a woman, walking on the edge of that boundary.

He is the celestial spirit of gold and realm.

At the very center of the Celtic pantheon, the personification of Halloween, a life born from the sun of the miniature garden, and also the lord Scáthach serves, the Halloween Queen.

The Halloween Queen, sitting in the gazebo, glanced at Scáthach and put down the half-empty teacup in her hand.

Dressed in her butler's uniform, Scáthach gracefully stepped forward, came to the stone table in the pavilion, picked up the teapot, and poured black tea for the Halloween Queen.

On the stone table are snacks such as mousse, diced fruit, donuts, and egg tarts.

The Halloween Queen, bored out of her mind, forked a piece of fruit, ate it, and then asked...

"Then the monkey has come out?" Scáthach paused for a moment, then answered without hesitation after realizing who the Halloween Queen was referring to as the monkey.

“She’s out, and as you requested, she has met with Gargi.”

"But what is the purpose of your assigning this task?"

Scáthach couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked, "If it's just about letting the Six-Eared Macaque see Gargi, it doesn't seem to make any sense, does it?"

The Halloween Queen gently raised her hand and looked at Scáthach with a half-smile.

"This doesn't seem like a question a butler should be curious about, does it?"

Scáthach noticed the Halloween Queen's gaze and immediately suppressed her wandering curiosity, bowing respectfully.

"I'm very sorry, I seem to be still reveling in the glory of the past and haven't quite caught up yet."

She is no longer the Shadow Queen from the Shadow Kingdom era, but rather the Halloween Queen's maid, butler, knight, and guardian.

At most, add one more [Queen Halloween] deputy leader.

Don't ask why I have so many part-time jobs; it's just the queen's capriciousness.

"Don't let it happen again."

The Halloween Queen spoke very calmly, then paused.

“I will tell you what I can, as this is essential knowledge for a butler. But you cannot ask about what I haven’t told you, understand?”

"Do your will."

Scáthach breathed a slight sigh of relief, realizing that she had passed this hurdle.

There's no way around it; the Halloween Queen is the strongest being in the Little Garden, and a very special one at that—a three-digit, exceptionally powerful being who can stay in the Little Garden and unleash her full power.

In the past, she might have been able to stand on equal footing with the Shadow Kingdom and the Halloween Queen, but since she became a triple-digit exception, that's no longer possible.

However, the Halloween Queen seemed to be in a very good mood today, and he explained it to her in a very pleasant manner.

"Of course, it's not that I can't tell you this."

"The purpose, is to create some obstacles for the little dragon I lost?"

"Hmm? Su Nian?"

Scáthach seemed to have thought of something; she hadn't forgotten the Queen's face, as black as the bottom of a pot, on Halloween a few days ago.

The last time the Queen was this angry was during the First War for Solar Sovereignty, when Kurima stole the Solar Sovereignty, Dragon, although it wasn't entirely lost afterward.

But clearly, that only made the Queen angrier; she refused Kurimor's charity!
Ultimately, this sovereignty token ended up in the hands of the lower-level fire dragon clan for various reasons.

And now it's happened again; you can imagine how the Halloween Queen feels.

"And I'm also really looking forward to seeing the little surprise I've prepared for Kurima."

The Halloween Queen said in a rather good mood.

"Otherwise, it would be too boring."

At this point, the Halloween Queen suddenly turned her head and looked at Scáthach with curiosity.

"By the way, has Fies Reis returned from Avalon?"

Scáthach put down the teapot, nodded, and said calmly.

"I'm back."

I wonder why Her Majesty suddenly summoned Fes Reiss back from Avalon.
Of course, Scáthach learned her lesson this time and didn't blurt it out.

But the Halloween Queen clearly didn't think so. She glanced at Scáthach without making a sound, and gently stirred her tea with a spoon, as if waiting for something.

Scáthach was silent for a moment, thinking to herself, "I'm so tired, can I quit?"
Let whoever wants to serve this queen do it! She certainly doesn't want to anymore!

That canary in the ditch, not only did it get away with its own money, but it also dragged her down with it.

But she remained calm and showed a curious expression.

"Why call Fies back? Wouldn't it be better if he stayed in Avalon?"

The Halloween Queen looked satisfied and explained, as if she wanted to be a know-it-all.

"This is a test for Avalon; they have been resting on their laurels for too long."

“If even Gargi cannot be defeated, then there is no need for Avalon to exist.”

"My knights don't need a bunch of useless people who don't even dare to participate in the war against the evil dragon."

At this point, the Halloween Queen suddenly turned to Scáthach and said.

"By the way, that little dragon's celebration is quite interesting, aren't you planning to go and participate?"

"I would rather serve by your side."

Without the slightest hesitation, Scáthach knelt down on one knee.

Every time she goes out, nothing good ever comes of it. Who knows what kind of show the Queen has prepared for her on Halloween?

The Halloween Queen smiled brightly as she looked at Scáthach.

"No, you want to go."

Scáthach was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity."

Yes, that's right, she really wants to go to that celebration now.
-
South District, outside Avalon's residence.

A white-haired, golden-eyed boy dressed in a white robe looked at the magnificent castle in front of him and muttered to himself.

"If I just defeat Avalon now, will I be able to obtain the status that a candidate for the Primal Inscription deserves?"

Behind him was a girl named Ayari Rin, wearing a black sleeveless dress, with a coat tied around her waist and a dagger hanging from her sleeve.

Aurora, a fairy who wore a large black hood that concealed her face and held a golden harp.

It also has a bird's head, dragon's horns, a tiger-like body and stripes, and a snake's tail that occasionally sways in mid-air and hisses.

That's a griffin, Grive Glea.

And there was a clown-like man in a brightly colored coat with contrasting red and blue. That was the paradoxical demon—Maxwell, representing the second kind of perpetual motion machine, a demon who controlled the realms of cold and heat, and also the force that supported them from above.

Their goal was to take advantage of Su Nian's celebration, which drew attention to the North District, to destroy the South District's hierarchy rulers, the Halloween Queen's subordinate community—Avalon.

In order to, as the Demon King Alliance, cause the greatest damage to the existing order of the Little Garden.

They're not like Su Nian. As the Demon King Alliance, they should at least do things appropriate to their status, right?

Moreover, this was also a test from the higher-ups for Gargi, a trial to see if he was qualified to become a true candidate for the Ouroboros.

"Yes, Your Highness, we are now ready."

"Then let's get started."
