The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

“Little brother wouldn't dare to have extravagant hopes. A charming Ocean Dragon like Miss Audrey is only worthy of a true warrior. And I see that you all are very powerful.”

“Please forgive my poor eyesight. I don't know which one of you is the most powerful.”

Attilan's flattery made the surrounding Elemental Dragons no longer see him as a threat, because they all knew that Audrey wouldn't like a cowardly dragon.

The atmosphere among the Elemental Dragons, who were originally surrounding Audrey peacefully, suddenly became tense. Claws and fangs were bared.

If Audrey hadn't been there, they probably would have started fighting.

However, Audrey looked at Attilan with a meaningful gaze.

“You are quite good.”

After saying that, Audrey got up and flew away from the banquet venue.

Originally, the four dragons no longer considered Attilan their opponent, but after Audrey said that, they all turned to look at Attilan, their eyes revealing killing intent.

Attilan didn't panic at all, smiling elegantly as he said:

“I think Miss Audrey meant that what I said was correct. You four brothers must work hard to show yourselves in front of Miss Audrey. As long as you work hard, I believe one of you! Will definitely capture Miss Audrey's heart.”

Attilan deliberately emphasized the word 'one', wanting to incite the four dragons to fight, and to do so in front of Audrey.

Audrey was already annoyed with the four of them. If they fought in front of Audrey, they probably wouldn't have any chance left.

At Attilan's suggestion, the four dragons immediately chased after Audrey in the direction she left, like four clinging followers.

Vine Woman waved her hand and took a sip of wine from a glass on a tray held by a passing Fishman maid.

“The taste is good. Although it can't compare to the wine brewed by Wine Woman, it contains a lot of magic power. The ingredients are very precious. You can drink more; it's good for you.”

Attilan shook his head and said:

“I don't want to drink too much at Audrey's birthday party.”

Vine Woman asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile:

“What? Are you afraid of losing face after getting drunk, causing you to fail to pursue Audrey?”

“Besides that, Cerestes also wants to cultivate young Elemental Dragons, so that the Elemental Dragon race can restore its former glory, not to mention overwhelming the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons.”

“At least there should be an orderly succession, and it would be best to occupy a world and then transform that world into a breeding ground for Elemental Dragons to grow.”

Attilan's eyes flashed.

“So Cerestes wants to completely occupy this world?”

Vine Woman shook her head and said:

“No, this world has already become a focal point. Although the quality of this world is indeed not high, it is undeniable that this world once gave birth to the Elemental Dragon God.”

“So, those above won't allow the Elemental Dragons to control this world. Cerestes' idea is that he will cooperate with us, with our Natural Council leading the joint development of this world.”

“He can even give up this world, but the condition is that after he chooses another world as the home of the Elemental Dragons, we must also unconditionally help him build it.”

“Turning barren land into fertile land, meeting the growth needs of young Elemental Dragons.”

Attilan's eyes shone with brilliance. Through Cerestes' plans, he could tell that Cerestes had ideas about the Elemental Dragon God.

Of course, not the eight elemental authorities held by the former Elemental Dragon God. Cerestes was playing it safe. His goal should be to become the guardian deity of Elemental Dragons and Elemental Drakes.

The position of guardian deity relies entirely on Cerestes' own power. Even if he masters the Ocean Dragon Soul, no! If Cerestes wants to become a god, he must give up the Ocean Dragon Soul he currently possesses.

Attilan's eyes became fervent. He suddenly felt that he had to gain Audrey's favor. Only by becoming Audrey's husband could he possibly obtain the Ocean Dragon Soul.

“Teacher, does Cerestes only have Audrey as a daughter?”

Vine Woman couldn't possibly not know what Attilan was thinking.

“If you marry Audrey, you will most likely only get this Crystal City under your feet, and the waters left after the Natural Council readjusts the continental environment.”

“At most, it will also include the islands within it, but the area of the territory controlled will definitely decrease from the current one or two million to hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but you will definitely let your Atlantis Kingdom occupy the newly emerged unowned land.”

Attilan cautiously surveyed the surrounding environment and asked in a low voice:

“Teacher, you know that's not what I'm asking.”

“Of course, I know what you're thinking about. Cerestes also has two sons, one is a Mountain Dragon, and the other is a Swamp Dragon, but he likes Audrey the most.”

Attilan asked in confusion:

“Why?”

“Because you dragons have a very interesting concept of love. If you take a fancy to a certain dragon, you can forcibly take possession of them with strength. And at that time, Cerestes, who had just come of age, was naturally no match for the gentle big sister.”

“So, he married a Mountain Dragon and then had two sons. In the end, Cerestes' strength naturally became stronger, and after he had the capital to resist the big sister, he ended their marital relationship.”

Attilan's eyes widened immediately.

“How did you know such a secret message, Teacher?”

Neither Cerestes nor that Mountain Dragon would have publicized this matter as the dragons involved.

“Their love happened in another world. I also learned about a love story of a pair of Elemental Dragons by chance from a certain Spirit of Nature. After coming to this world and meeting Cerestes, I realized that Cerestes was actually one of the protagonists of the story.”

“That Spirit of Earth also said that if you meet Cerestes, please tell him that Goya has been looking for him.”

Attilan hesitated for a moment and then asked:

“Teacher, you didn't really ask Cerestes when you saw him, did you?”

Vine Woman nodded and rubbed her temples, saying:

At the time, I was too young and didn't think before speaking, but Thestis wasn't angry. Instead, he told me the truth of the story and recounted his love story of escaping from Goya, meeting Audreys's mother in the Water Elemental Plane, and finally returning to their hometown to settle down.

Attilan didn't care about Thestis's backstory, he only wanted to know how he could get the Ocean Dragon Soul from Thestis.

Don't even think about it. He'll most likely give that thing to Audreys before he becomes a god. That's why I told you that you must marry Audreys. That way, even if you don't have it yourself, you can still mooch off your wife.

But look at what you were saying just now?

Attilan smiled confidently.

"Teacher, if I swarmed around her, what difference would there be between me and those few dragon simps around her? On the contrary, what I did just now, regardless of whether Audreys's impression of me is good or bad, she will definitely remember me."

"When the Azure Cloud Dragon Bed is sent to her, her impression of me will definitely improve. At least among these suitors, I'll definitely be the one she's least disgusted with."

Elemental dragons are also dragons, and they naturally respect strength. As long as Attilan can display a strength that amazes Audreys, then this matter will likely succeed.

But compared to improving Audreys's favorability, Attilan believes that improving Thestis's favorability is more important.

Audreys looks like the kind of lazy dragon who has never practiced independently, but her strength exceeds the level that an Ocean Sub-dragon of her age should have.

There is only one reason behind all of this, and that is that she has received the blessing of the Ocean Dragon Soul's divine dragon power, allowing her to transform from an ordinary Ocean Sub-dragon into an Ocean Elemental Dragon King.

If he could obtain the power of the Ocean Dragon Soul, Attilan believes that his current problem of the dragon body and dragon soul being uncoordinated should be properly resolved.

"It's good that you have confidence. Although the Council of Nature intends to cooperate with Thestis, Thestis doesn't intend to marry off his daughter unless you gain Audreys's favor. Otherwise, Thestis will not actively marry his daughter to you."

Perhaps it's a habit passed down from the Elemental Dragon God, but Elemental Dragons are different from other dragons. Parents will always take care of their children, even after they have reached adulthood.

Moreover, they will forcefully interfere in their children's marriages.

This is because Elemental Dragons have a stronger sense of family than other dragons.

If it were a chromatic dragon, they might be kicked out of the house by their mother during adolescence.

As for their father, they may never have met him since birth.

The birthday banquet quickly became lively. In addition to Thestis's subordinate generals and scholars, there were also some other friends Thestis had made.

As well as more than a dozen Elemental Dragons of at least the prime of their lives who appeared through the elemental通道!

Attilan snorted two streams of white air from his nose and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Teacher, today doesn't seem to be just Audreys's birthday party. It seems that Thestis has already started his Elemental Dragon Nest World plan. These Elemental Dragons are all his followers."

The term "followers" doesn't mean that they are Thestis's subordinates, but rather that they agree with the concept of the Elemental Dragon Nest World and are willing to contribute to this plan.

The birthday party is just an excuse to gather everyone to discuss.

Frost Sub-dragon, Purgatory Sub-dragon, Lightning Sub-dragon, Sand Sub-dragon, Mountain Sub-dragon, Ocean Sub-dragon, Cloud Sub-dragon, Lava Sub-dragon, the Elemental Dragons that appeared at the banquet almost encompassed all bloodline types.

However, among the eight bloodlines that Attilan possesses, the Elemental Dragons belonging to Light and Darkness did not appear in the banquet hall.

Attilan asked curiously:

"Shouldn't there also be Sky Light Sub-dragon and Dark Abyss Sub-dragon? Why didn't they send representatives?"

Hearing Attilan's question, Audreys, who had transformed into a High Elf at some point, smiled contemptuously.

"They have already found better masters, so naturally they don't need to struggle in the mud like us."

Attilan looked around and didn't see those four simps.

"Miss Audreys, do you mean that they have taken refuge in Heaven and Hell?"

"Sky Light Dragons can freely live on the first five levels of Mount Paradise, while Dark Abyss Dragons have a Black River that connects the second to seventh levels of Hell, and the areas through which the Black River flows are their territory."

"They can freely prey on devils and souls."

"Dragons?"

"That's right. With someone supporting them, they naturally don't need to call themselves Sub-dragons like us. Attilan, do you hope that one day you can openly call yourself an Ocean Dragon?"

Attilan smiled.

"Of course, but I prefer the title of Life Dragon. I think Miss Audreys is looking for me for more than just discussing titles, right?"

Audreys gracefully picked up a pastry, exuding an aura that was even more noble than that of a High Elf. No wonder she looked down on those uncultured wild dragons.

"I can see that your strength is stronger than those four. If you help me persuade them to give up their unrealistic ideas, I will give you a Life Jewel that can be used to enhance the Dragon Pearl, how about it?"

"Miss Audreys doesn't want to get married?"

"Of course, my father wants to create a unified front for Elemental Dragons, but he is preparing to become a god and needs a leader to lead the unified front. I am preparing to take over from him and become this leader!"

"Are you willing to support me and cast your vote for me when the time comes?"

Attilan transformed into a human with verdant dragon horns on his head.

"No problem."

Seeing Attilan's appearance, Audreys's eyes lit up.

"How did you transform into this appearance? It's quite interesting that you can retain the dragon horns of a dragon in human form."

Attilan touched his dragon horns.

"This, ah, is a skill I mastered after studying Druid knowledge. As you know, Druids can transform into this unique form after reaching a certain level."

"Usually, the Druid's abilities mutate their original bodies, but this one is purely a manifestation of my life control. Even in this form, I can still use most of the Life Dragon's abilities."

As he spoke, Attilan took out a seed from his dimensional pocket and breathed on it. The seed quickly sprouted and grew, eventually turning into a vibrant red rose.

"For you, beautiful Miss Audreys."

Audreys smiled and took the rose, gently sniffing it. She could indeed sense a dragon's life magic power belonging to an Ocean Sub-dragon.

"You are, quite good."

This time, Audreys was sincerely praising Attilan and began to take this fellow seriously.
