Chapter 188 King of the Borderlands, Level 18 Mature Silver Dragon
At first, Galus only wanted a peaceful life, and he didn't care about living in the wind and rain.
However, each victory is like adding fuel to the fire.
As things progressed, he desired to enjoy fine food, a proper residence that suited his physique, more servants to attend to him, and a life of unbridled indulgence. His desires were like a bottomless pit, and greed and ambition grew within him.
Huff—Red Iron Dragon took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation.
Each victory or a rise in power stirred a restless energy within him.
"The dragon's nature is growing along with my changes, and it can easily be influenced, causing me to act irrationally. There is no time to relax."
Galos thought to himself.
The dragon's ambition roared in his chest, but the chains of reason bound his claws.
With the Dragon's Rest imminent, now is not a good time for further development. The Ironclad Clan, having just gone through a war, also needs to recuperate and consolidate its gains.
after a while.
Dragon Nest.
The dragon horde, led by Garus, was the first to return.
"The great Crimson Wing Lord, the ominous star of death."
"You have returned victorious, and every scar on your body tells a story of glory."
The giant bear Mobel came running over eagerly, offering flattery and praise.
"Did we encounter any unexpected situations while we were not in Dragon Valley?"
Galos asked casually.
"No! With us fierce bears guarding it, the slumbering ground is as solid as a rock."
Mobel said with absolute certainty.
The slumbering place of Iron Dragon Sorog is located in the deepest part of Dragon Valley, and is mainly guarded by the Violent Bears.
The Earth Bear pack rarely participates directly in war. Apart from Mobel, the other bears are too unintelligent to remember many of their own units, and in the heat of battle, they are prone to losing their senses and failing to distinguish friend from foe.
Their role in Dragon Nest is equivalent to that of a Lord's Guard.
Apart from Garus, no other member of the family, including other dragons, could command the bear.
The current bear pack, including Mobel, consists of five adult bears, and the number of juveniles and bear cubs has increased significantly.
Although these monsters were the first ones Garos subdued, they remain one of the stronger clans to this day.
Earth Bears grow rapidly, and their average life level reaches level 8 when they are adults, and around level 10 when they reach their peak adulthood. If they weren't lacking in intelligence, each one could serve as a leader.
"Go back, and remember not to let any creature near the slumbering grounds."
"Garos said."
At this moment, the Crimson Silver Dragon Deborah circled in the sky a few times, taking in the entire scene of Dragon Valley before landing beside Garos.
"You've been in the Sel Wilderness all along, why did you suddenly come to the border region?"
"I was quite surprised when I first sensed your presence."
"The Crimson Silver Dragon said."
After ending her dragon slumber and activating her hybrid bloodline, she intended to return to the Wilderness of Sel, but encountered the red dragon Samantha along the way, and was then astonished to find that Garros had actually arrived at the border.
"There are too many human troops stationed in the Sel Wilderness, which restricts my actions."
Galos said, "The border region is barren, but it is also freer. There is no need to be too restrained. I can develop better here, and it is not impossible for me to completely occupy this place one day."
The Crimson Silver Dragon smacked its lips and said, "I understand. You want to become the king of the borderlands."
"But this is no easy task. I don't think I've told you yet that my parents live in the border region."
"【Frost Mark】 and 【Copper Flame】, they are mature dragons with official titles."
A smile played on her lips as she said with a grin, "I admit you're strong, but if you were to face my parents now and a conflict were to break out, you wouldn't stand a chance. They would beat you to a pulp."
Galos did not refute.
A mature dragon is a type of dragon that is between two hundred and four hundred years old.
Moreover, silver dragons and copper dragons are not disgraceful creatures like white-scaled dragons.
A mature copper dragon is at least level 16, and a mature silver dragon is at least level 18, already approaching the legendary realm, and is not on the same level as Garos at all.
"Would your parents have attacked the young dragon without any reason?"
"Garos asked."
Given the pride and dignity of mature metal dragons, they generally do not allow themselves to harm young dragons; at most, they will give them a slight lesson.
“Oh, my father is a silver dragon. He is old-fashioned and strict, but very disciplined, the kind of discipline that is etched into the seams of his scales.”
“Under normal circumstances, he will not bully the weak, but if he discovers that you have killed the weak, raped and plundered, he will definitely not be able to suppress his sense of justice and will punish you, or even seal and imprison you.”
“My mother is a bronze dragon. Besides puzzles, she loves playing pranks. Sometimes it’s better to be sealed away by my father than to be targeted by her.”
The Crimson Silver Dragon didn't care to tell Garos about his parents' situation.
The names Frostmark and Copper Flame may be unfamiliar to newcomers, but they are well-known to the intelligent beings who have lived in the border region for many years.
Their Red Maple Valley is peaceful and uncontested, yet it is a dominant force in the border region.
The various tribes in the border area always tacitly avoid Red Maple Valley.
"Don't worry, I know that although you look fierce and have a sharp edge, you are completely different from other evil dragons."
The Crimson Silver Dragon patted Garos on the shoulder with a 'I've got your back' look on his face and said, "I'll put in a good word for you. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, my parents won't interfere."
An ordinary dragon, upon hearing such words, might feel slighted and become angry.
Galos nodded naturally and said, "Is that so? Then I'll thank you in advance."
A bright smile appeared on Hong Tielong's face, a stark contrast to his ferocious appearance.
What the Crimson Silver Dragon saw left it stunned for a few seconds.
She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look directly at him, and pretended to tidy up her wing membrane. At the same time, her voice softened involuntarily as she said, "It's nothing. We're accomplices now, no, we're partners. We should help each other."
Galus then asked, "What if your parents insist that I am a dragon and attack me without asking any questions?"
The Crimson Silver Dragon shook its head: "No, they believe that the formation of evil dragons is related to nurture, and they have even thought about adopting the offspring of evil dragons and raising them into benevolent dragons. They don't have much prejudice against evil dragons."
Adopting the offspring of an evil dragon?
Do you think I'm suitable? I'm a born evil red iron dragon.
If you do not reject me, I am willing to become your godfather!
Galos's eyes lit up.
He has never been averse to currying favor with powerful figures, and if it weren't for Iron Dragon Mother's insistence on expelling him, he would have been willing to stay in Iron Dragon Mother's territory until he came of age.
"It's a pity that they didn't encounter suitable young dragons. They felt that dragons older than juveniles had already formed their personalities and were not suitable for adoption and gradual influence. They believed that more intense methods such as imprisonment and whipping were more effective."
Upon hearing what the Crimson Silver Dragon said, Garos felt deeply regretful and gave up his idea of clinging to a powerful figure.
"What if? What if they insist on attacking me? Even if I haven't committed any heinous crimes?"
He asked the same question again.
"Oh dear, I told you that wouldn't happen."
"But what if it happens—"
After a pause, the Crimson Silver Dragon said, "—that means my parents violated their moral principles."
"Deviating from its own moral code is a big problem for Metal Dragon, and I cannot stand idly by."
"At that time, I will stand in front of you and persuade them. If that fails, I will pretend to be your prisoner and give you a chance to escape."
Galos nodded in satisfaction.
Want to play a guessing game?
He changed the subject and spoke to the Crimson Silver Dragon.
The Crimson Silver Dragon nodded without hesitation: "Okay, okay, you go first."
"There is a creature that has four legs when it is young, two legs when it is middle-aged, and three legs when it is old. What is it?" Galos didn't think for himself and uttered a classic riddle from his previous life.
The Crimson Silver Dragon pondered for a moment.
A few seconds later, she answered uncertainly, "Human? Or rather, humanoid."
Galos flicked its tail, making a crisp sound: "You got it right!"
"My turn, my turn."
The Crimson Silver Dragon was in high spirits and presented the riddle to Garos. Garos was sometimes able to answer it, and sometimes he needed the Crimson Silver Dragon's prompting. The whole process of solving the riddle made the Crimson Silver Dragon very happy and gave him great satisfaction.
Time slowly passed by.
Galos's days became fulfilling and peaceful again.
The Crimson Silver Dragon and the White Dragon were used as sparring partners to train their ice resistance and scales, hone their wings and tails, fuse life energy and magic energy to form dragon aura, and strengthen their dragon heart through the Blood Burst Technique.
at the same time.
After the war with the Bloodhoof Clan, the Ironforge Clan took over its resource points, mainly focusing on garrisoning and consolidating their resources. They did not continue to expand outwards and were not very active except for occasional trade with merchant ships traveling on the waterways.
Like a tiger that has eaten and drunk its fill, silently licking its claws and teeth, waiting for the next hunt.
