Beneath the Red Dragon

Thus, these maidservants, after long association with the Ancestral Red Dragon, gradually transformed into dragon-like creatures influenced by the dragon’s aura.

However, in normal circumstances, the scales on these maidservants can appear and disappear at will.

But in today’s gathering of the dragon group, these ’weak’ maidservants couldn’t hide themselves in the dense dragon blood aura.

In contrast to the free and open conversations of other Giant Dragon Lords,

the newly-born giant dragon hatchlings of the empire sat at another table, under the trunk of the World Tree Ovo, visibly restrained.

These hatchlings, according to the empire’s rules, actually aren’t barred from ascending to the holy mountain of the dragon group.

However, influenced by their innate dragon heritage, these hatchlings still dared not tread freely onto other powerful dragons’ private domains, even if those domains have expanded from their nests to entire mountain ranges.

The emperor of the empire also hoped that these newborn hatchlings could learn some essential social skills and relationship management skills under the influence of the great dragons of the Gogomola Dragon Group.

It’s essential for these hatchlings to experience this atmosphere, which differs from other dragon groups and dragon races.

Yet, in front of each exceptionally strong Giant Dragon, these intrepid little dragon hatchlings appear like frail little chicks.

Every unintentional glance from a Giant Dragon Lord could elicit gasps and discussions from these hatchlings.

"Black King Rosani glanced at me just now. Could it be because I’m particularly outstanding, and one day I’ll be as strong as Rosani?"

A black dragon hatchling excitedly wagged its tail; in the hatchling stage, black dragons aren’t much different from other scale-colored giant dragons.

Once entering the juvenile stage, each black dragon will gradually transform into the unique feature of their species—a skeletal dragon.

But being born and growing up in the empire, this black dragon hatchling has started to think its ancestral black dragons were too weak and ugly.

Only black dragons as robust as Black Dragon Rosani are the standard of beauty among black dragons.

Just as Karon influenced the dragon group in his hatchling stage, the empire’s civilization started to imbue these newborn hatchlings with a different shade of thought.

"Pff," a white dragon hatchling softly chuckled, "Don’t delude yourself. Not every black dragon can be as robust and pretty as Rosani. You’ll just turn into a skeleton frame, an ugly skeleton frame, tsk tsk!"

"And I will only uphold the glory of the White Dragon Lord, becoming an equally outstanding white dragon."

The largest-headed red dragon hatchling looked disdainfully at the white dragon hatchling, who was nearly laughing uproariously, shook its head, and muttered, "How could a weak white dragon understand the power of a red dragon, such pointless delusions."

A fierce blue dragon hatchling remained silent, watching Thunder Doss, imitating Blue Dragon Doss’s movements as it leisurely tore at the most fat-laden flesh of the elephant mastiff’s abdomen arranged on the plate.

The lifestyle enjoyed by the empire’s newborn hatchling giant dragons far surpassed that of other wild giant dragons.

While some Colorful Dragon hatchlings gnawed on dirt and roots in the wild, the empire’s hatchlings were already enjoying abundant food, even able to select their favorite parts.

Creatures dozens of times stronger than the hatchlings were merely their food.

And a female green dragon hatchling was wagging her tail, eagerly currying favor beside Behemoth Achilles, probing for intel and gossip about the Giant Dragon Lords.

A cunning glint shone in the eyes of the female green dragon, but Achilles, burying his head and perfunctorily feasting, soon angered the hatchling.

"What a fool," the green dragon hatchling thought to herself, returning to her position, intently searching for Green Dragon Lord Antajena’s presence.

But she couldn’t locate the Forest Dragon’s form, so she pricked up her hidden ears, listening in on the grand discussions of the Giant Dragon Lords, hoping to analyze useful information from their words.

Not that she harbored any ulterior motives, but that’s just how green dragons are.

Very quickly, the green dragon hatchling noticed some differences in the Gogomola Dragon Group’s great dragons compared to other giant dragons.

As a dragon species, regardless of strength, whether gentle or violent in nature, there exists an inherent pride and natural detachment from their bloodline.

The interaction among giant dragons is marked by visible distances and boundaries that any race can discern with the naked eye.

Evil dragons like the Colorful Dragon display this trait more obviously, as almost all Colorful Dragon’s words are as aggressive as their appearance and nature.

But the Gogomola dragon group isn’t like this. Even when arguing, it’s just based on differing viewpoints and arguments from both parties.

"The essence of creating magic is pursuing destructive power and might, the force to annihilate everything is magic’s core,"

Red Dragon Kedelos loudly asserted, forcefully intruding into the discussion between Steel Dragon Midir and Fog Dragon Deniro. Regarding magic’s research and development, this red dragon’s perspective upheld the ultimate genes in its bloodline.

"Wrong, totally wrong, you clearly haven’t seriously studied Karon’s theoretical knowledge handbook," said Steel Dragon Midir, weak in combat power but with a formidable spellcasting ability, scornfully rolling his eyes at the Red Dragon.

"The essence of creating magic is based on the utility of underlying rules and the reasonable use of combinations. It’s not about sheer might; truly powerful magic possesses unique wisdom and ingenious uses,"
