Under the Red Dragon

A snow-haired boy with a head full of white hair, the edges of his hairline seeming to be wrapped in a layer of icy, shimmering light, sat in a large chair.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind the third floor of the castle, flocks of seabirds and terns were bathed in the glow of the setting sun, carrying the wind that swept through the forest and stirring up the surging waves of the sea.

The white dragon Germot supported his forehead with one hand, while the other hand was busy reviewing documents. One document after another was read and annotated by him, and a thick stack of them had already piled up on the long desk.

Only after the white-haired boy had finished reviewing the last two documents, the proposal 《On Dispersing and Subdividing the Elf Tribes for Internal Assimilation》 and 《Relevant Suggestions on Using Cultural Propaganda and Favorable Treatment to Attract Technical and Cultural Talents》, did he finally let out a long breath.

Although, at the suggestion of the bronze dragon Alina, the reports on matters and political discussions related to the dragon territory had been written in the simplest and most straightforward form possible, the daily increase in workload still gave even the energetic dragon a headache.

The dragon territory, which welcomed population growth every month, could now be described as having numerous affairs. The newly arrived slaves and free immigrants attracted by the conditions offered by the dragon territory gradually increased as the dragon territory's reputation spread.

However, the resettlement and planning of these populations required a lot of energy, and some of the human scholars who had just been recruited could write several proposals a day in order to demonstrate their abilities in front of the ruler.

These document reports had already been screened by the giantess Fafnir and deemed valuable, and had accumulated to be half a person tall.

In order to facilitate the handling of government affairs, the white dragon Germot had recently come to the newly built castle in the Golden City to reside. Although this castle, built with its back to the sea, was tall enough to accommodate dragons landing at will,

the white dragon still used transformation magic to transform into a human appearance for convenience. Currently, only Kalon and the white dragon Germot had mastered transformation magic in the dragon group. After the transformation magic, the white dragon Germot's height was now far beyond that of ordinary people.

If it weren't for his still somewhat childish face, one would have thought he was a tall warrior just by looking at his figure.

This was determined by the aesthetics of the dragons. Except for the female dragons, almost every male dragon would try to choose a tall and mighty image when using transformation magic.

However, even if the white dragon, who was in his juvenile period, tried his best, his somewhat childish face still faithfully reflected his original age.

Tap, tap, tap, outside the wide door, an elf maid cautiously knocked on the open door, her beautiful eyes quickly glancing over the spacious study,

and then softly said, "Lord Germot, an orc noble is waiting outside the castle to be received by you. He has passed Lady Fafnir's inspection and permission!"

These elf maids were openly selected from the tribes that moved from the Green Forest to the dragon territory and were the first elves to show obedience to the dragons.

In order to accelerate the integration of these elves into the territory, many elves were recruited as servants in the elf tribes.

Each dragon was equipped with at least two elf maids. Kalon even equipped the black dragon Rosani with four elves who were extremely beautiful by the dragons' standards, hoping to save the black dragon's overly unique aesthetic preferences with a one in ten thousand hope.

The tall boy transformed from the white dragon Germot stood up from behind the desk and nodded, "Let him come up!"

The white dragon Germot transformed back into his original dragon form. Most dragons preferred their original form. Even the silver and gold dragons, who liked to use transformation magic to become humans and elves, were the same. The dragon form was the highest level of aesthetics in the eyes of the dragons.

Besides, the white dragon Germot also felt that what the red dragon had said was very reasonable, "Let those who are not sure whether they are enemies or friends overestimate their weaknesses."

The white dragon Germot felt that his white scales were a very useful protective color, although he didn't want to admit it, but the white dragon didn't give everyone a very smart impression.

The white dragon faced the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the scenery outside, and waited quietly.

Tap, tap, tap, heavy footsteps and light footsteps sounded, and a sonorous voice sounded behind Germot: "Greetings to you, noble white dragon, Fati sends you his highest regards!"

The white dragon Germot recalled his brother Camide's usual eyes and performance, and then his agile eyes turned slightly dull, and he turned around.

The white dragon Germot simulated Camide's voice and said, "Speak, orc, what do you want from the noble dragon!"

……

"Those orcs really regard me as an ordinary white dragon. He thought that the dragons in the dragon group were being suppressed by Kalon and could not have their own territories, and even wanted to use this to lure me," the white dragon Germot said with a sneer, stating the conditions of the orc Fati, and watched the dragon group's actions.

At this time, the dragon group had gathered in the orchard. Except for Kalon and the black dragon Rosani, who were far away in the Green Forest, even the bronze dragon Alina, who was in charge of the overall situation in Bay Stream City, had arrived.

When Kalon was not in the territory, whenever faced with major decisions, the dragon group would always hold a meeting to discuss together. The bronze dragon Alina and the copper dragon Alfred had won the respect and acceptance of the dragon group with their respective performances, and the two dragons were no longer as inconspicuous as they were at the beginning.

"This is a dragon agreement that has existed since the young dragon period. Besides, everyone is clear about the current situation in the territory. Isn't being a separate dragon lord just asking for trouble?"

The blue dragon Dos lazily甩了甩tail. With the addition of Germot and Alina, he was now much more relaxed, and the scratches on his horn had faded a lot.

"I think establishing trade relations with the orc kingdom is possible, but allowing them to establish new territories next to the dragon's territory cannot be agreed to."

The bronze dragon Alina lay on the ground, ignoring the red copper dragon Alfred's great show of diligence. They were now officially married, but the two dragons were so busy that they didn't even have time to stay in their own nests.

"The orc kingdom was once a powerful empire that ruled the world of Akania. Although they were driven overseas by humans, they have been looking for opportunities to return to the main continent. If the dragons give them this opportunity, it may attract the hostility of other human kingdoms!"

The bronze dragon Alina expressed her concerns. "Moreover, although the orc kingdom has declined, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. We cannot learn from those humans who raise tigers to become future troubles for a little benefit!"

The red copper dragon Alfred next to him nodded repeatedly. He didn't understand this aspect very well, but it didn't matter. He just had to show his support for Alina's statement.

The red copper dragon elders once taught the young Alfred that no matter whether the female dragon was right or wrong, don't directly object on the surface, and even express agreement.

The green dragon Antagena's prostrate body suddenly squatted up. Her beautiful scales bloomed with emerald light in the sun, but this female dragon's opinion was the opposite of the bronze dragon Alina's.

The green dragon's slender eyes flashed with insidious light. She bewitched the dragons in the dragon group: "The dragon group's territory is far away from the human countries, and there are boundless mountains to block them. The hostility of those human countries will not pose a substantial threat to us."

"But if we accept the conditions of the orc kingdom, we can not only drive the power of the orc kingdom to open up those places that we cannot reach temporarily, but also swallow their mature fruits when the dragon group's territory expands again in the future,"

The green dragon, who was born to like bewitching people, had a soft voice and娓娓道来, wanting to fan the dragons' greed. She said: "We can also take the opportunity to heavily blackmail them a large sum of gold coins. At that time, every dragon can be divided into piles of gold coins. Think about those cute little things, we can have them effortlessly!"

The other dragons obviously tightened their breath. The attraction of gold coins to dragons was greater than everything else. Even the bronze dragon Alina, who had been calm enough just now, hesitated. The dragon's greed made this female dragon know that it was wrong, but she did not immediately open her mouth to refute.

Only Germot's eyes were still relatively calmly watching the reactions of all the dragons.

At this time, the white dragon Camide lazily covered his mouth with his dragon claws, opened his sleepy eyes and yawned.

Then he looked at the green dragon who was using her bewitching instinct with a thoughtful expression and said: "Kalon said that the person who speaks well for outsiders first is a potential traitor!"

The green dragon Antagena was furious. This beautiful female dragon bared her teeth and roared with a threatening expression: "You idiot, can't you use your own brain to think about what benefits I would get from betraying the dragon group? Kalon said, Kalon said, don't you have a brain to judge yourself?"

The white dragon Camide showed his fangs indifferently. He said with a serious face: "I am just a white dragon!"

Although the white dragon Camide's performance was quite funny, it made the dragons who were trapped in greed come back to their senses. The bronze dragon Alina directly questioned: "Antagena, you wouldn't have received the orc's gold coins to speak for him in a roundabout way, would you?"

The other dragons also looked at the green dragon suspiciously. The greed in their hearts receded, and reason reoccupied their brains.

"Damn it, you would rather believe a stupid white dragon and an outsider than believe me?" the green dragon Antagena roared. This female dragon lowered her forelimbs and condensed her tail. This was a prelude to launching an attack.

"Enough," the white dragon Germot, who had been very calm, stopped the argument. His face was particularly serious and he said: "In the short months that Kalon has been away from the territory, are you going to start an endless argument?"

The white dragon looked at the green dragon with calm and firm eyes. He said: "Everyone does not doubt that Antagena will betray the dragon group, but Alina has joined the dragon group and is a member of the dragon group. Don't say such words that are not conducive to unity in the future, Antagena."

"I only hope that whether you have received benefits or not, don't forget that you are also a member of the dragon group. The interests of the dragon group are closely related to all the dragons, including you,"

"I don't want Kalon to come back and see a dragon group that is arguing and split and a mess. I believe you don't want to see Kalon's disappointed eyes. Dragons who cannot control their greed and cause damage to the interests of the dragon group will not be liked by Kalon. He will let all the dragons tear you apart!"

The female red dragon Kleinaya next to her chuckled softly: "This kind of mother dragon who thinks she is smart but is actually stupid also wants to become the hostess of the dragon group? It's even more ridiculous than Camide becoming a legendary mage!"

Most⊥New⊥Small⊥Say⊥At⊥Six⊥9⊥⊥Book⊥⊥Bar⊥⊥First⊥Release!

"Damn it, what is your attitude," the green dragon Antagena turned around and flew into the sky, leaving her angry words, "I'm going to find Kalon and see if you dare to bully me together."

The bronze dragon Alina showed a worried look. She asked a little uneasily: "Will Kalon be angry because of this? Maybe my attitude was too aggressive!"

"It's okay, Antagena, as a dragon, liking bewitchment and fickleness is her character. She has begun to forget the original agreement of the dragon group. Now giving her a warning is also for her own good," the red dragon Kleinaya calmly replied.

"As for Kalon, you don't need to worry even more. If Antagena dares to deceive him in the past, it is estimated that it will not be as simple as a verbal warning!" As one of the few female dragons in the dragon group, Kleinaya took the initiative to comfort the somewhat worried Alina.

The white dragon Germot sighed as he watched the green dragon leave. He now presided over the dragon group and only had some experience of the red dragon's former troubles. Not all dragons can overcome their own nature, just like not everyone can become a talent.

Kalon, following the guidance of Natis's soul, crossed the wide wreckage of the World Tree and came to the depths of the forest.

Here, the rocks are rugged, and there is a natural stone forest, which is not tall enough, but it gives Kalon a kind of eternal charm.

Kalon stepped into it, as if he could feel the stagnation of time, and even his own physical activities slowed down, as if he was in a state of slumber, quiet and calm.

There were no magic circles in this area, but it isolated all the sounds from the outside world, as if the whole world had instantly become empty and silent, only the gurgling sound of the spring water flowing like a small well not far away.

"This spring has magical power. It is said that everyone who comes here for the first time, as long as they are lucky enough, can glimpse a corner of their own destiny through the reflection of the spring water," Natis's soul whispered.

"Many years ago, those mages poured the spring water from this spring on the World Tree, and my soul sprouted because of this. Over the years, I have seen a time dragon stop here, washing its body with the spring water, and then drinking its fill!"

Time Dragon, Kalon's understanding of this creature is only two words - monster. The starting point of this creature is the end point that most creatures in the world and ordinary dragons look up to. It is born with the legendary life essence and rank.

This creature only needs to grow step by step and gradually awaken its own magic abilities to become the apex creature of the endless world.

Compared with the Time Dragon, whether it is a metal dragon or a chromatic dragon, it is more like a toy that the Dragon God casually pinched out. Ordinary dragons need to grow to their peak to compare with the starting point of the Time Dragon.

When Kalon heard that this powerful creature was also interested in this magical spring, he also became curious and walked to this magical spring and stopped to stare.

This spring is only the size of two people hugging, but it is enough to reflect Kalon's entire figure. The flowing spring water seems to directly enter the void and does not wet the ground.

But Kalon did not find any picture appearing on the water surface, except for his reflection.

Just when he thought his luck wasn't good enough, the shimmering spring suddenly transformed into a dazzling spectacle, reminiscent of a dimensional portal opening. Images flashed through his mind.

These were scenes from Kalon's birth onwards, from the moment he hatched from his dragon egg into this world. Each scene was similar to his own past, but with subtle differences.

For example, Pike, the pixie whom Kalon now considered his only friend, was instantly swallowed whole by the red dragon the moment he appeared before it.

Subsequently, the scenes began to diverge from Kalon's memories. The attacking ogres were all killed by the blue dragon, Kalite, who risked severe mental injury, in cooperation with the blue dragon, Akxz, and the dragon pack.

Later, the growing red dragon successfully seized power, expanded its territory, and the dragon pack gradually became a hegemon in the wilderness.

However, divisions arose within the growing dragon pack. The other dragons began to harbor their own agendas, and under the instigation of the green dragon, Antajena, the dragon pack eventually engaged in battle.

The green dragon, Antajena, and the red dragon, Kleiner, were killed by Kalon in the conflict. The white dragon, Gemott, was severely injured, and the blue dragons, Dos and Akxz, left the dragon pack.

But the vision finally froze at this point, and a pink dragon tail that flashed out of the void shattered all the images.

That pink tail seemed to appear simultaneously in both the past visions and reality. Coming to his senses, Kalon saw the last tip of the tail disappear into the void.

"Natis, did you notice just now?" Kalon asked with a grave expression.

"Notice what? Kalon, did you see your future destiny?" Natis's soul was completely unaware of what had happened, and asked in confusion.

"Perhaps the future destiny is untouchable, but I think I saw a branch of my destiny," Kalon's expression turned serious. Kalon knew very well how his character and biological instincts could change; sometimes, even a single change of mind could lead to different consequences.

The scenes he saw in this spring were not enough to surprise him. What he cared about was that pink tail, a tail that clearly belonged to a dragon, but was completely different from the Time Dragons in Kalon's memory.

"Has my destiny been diverted, or is it..." Kalon silently gazed at the place where the tail disappeared, and spat out a scattering of sparks.
