Dragons have an extremely long lifespan, and it is very likely that the little dragon's parents are still alive.
To find them, the first place Ash and Signy thought of was the dragon's territory - an island in the sea, referred to as Dragon Island.
It just so happened that they, especially Sigourney, also wanted to enter Dragon Island and meet their fellow members of the Freedom Alliance imprisoned on Dragon Island. They were not allowed to enter before, but now they have a legitimate reason and identity to go there.
"Go to Dragon Island?" Ash said, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Gray's little paw. The claws of a newly born dragon were so tender that they seemed transparent. This state would only last for a short period of time. For powerful magical creatures, even the fragile cub stage was shorter than that of other races.
Gray thought this was a gesture of reaching a consensus, and in turn pressed Ash's fingertips with his little paws: "Yo!" Good!
Then it raised its paw toward Sigourney and said, "Come, shake hands."
Sigourney lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, then stretched out her fingertips and touched Gray's.
They hit it off immediately, and the three of them took advantage of the time before the Glory Day to set off and headed for the sea the next day.
The location they were in at this moment was not far from Dragon Island.
As a master alchemist, Sigourney took out a boat-shaped alchemical prop. The three of them boarded it and sailed towards the inland sea amid the gentle rise and fall of the tide.
In the eyes of many creatures on the mainland, Dragon Island is mysterious and terrifying.
It's like a forbidden area.
But in fact, the road to Dragon Island is not dangerous at all. It is just an ordinary sea route. There are no storms, no obstacles, and it is as flat as going to any island in the sea.
Anyone who wants to go there can get there.
The key question is, what happens after you arrive?
The proud dragons, who have a strong sense of territory, will never allow lowly ants to set foot on their islands. Once they discover an intruder, they will turn the intruder into ashes with a single breath without allowing any explanation.
Therefore, the horror of Dragon Island does not lie in how dangerous its environment is. It is just an ordinary island. It became special and taboo because it was chosen by the dragon clan as its territory.
So the three of them easily arrived near Dragon Island before dark.
As it got dark, Sigourney was able to come out of the cabin and move around.
"We can already see the outline of Dragon Island," Ash pointed to Sigourney.
In the distance, a huge rocky island broke through the blue sea, quietly lurking like a giant beast.
The island looked peaceful.
There was no scene like what Ash had imagined, with dragons hovering in the sky or dragons circling in the sea.
In fact, it was not his imagination. He and Sigourney had once seen a space covered with murals in the basement of the Snow Demon's Lair.
On those murals, there were paintings of beautiful elves, vampires enjoying themselves, and surging armies of skeletons... The one that shocked him the most was a mural of a giant dragon. That was also the first time he knew about dragons.
The mural also showed an island, but in the sky and the sea, there were countless dragons flying around, golden, silver, black, green, red...
Lots and lots of dragons.
Arrogant and disdainful, just one painting can display the majestic aura before people.
Therefore, in Ash's preconceived impression, Dragon Island should be like the mural. Just one look at it would give him a suffocating feeling of oppression.
However, the Dragon Island in front of us was very quiet.
In contrast to the scene in the mural, it is so quiet that it is almost silent, and so quiet that it is inexplicably lonely.
Is it because the distance is too far?
He looked up at the mast, which was like a decoration on the boat. The little dragon was wrapped around it, and it was shouting "Yo Yo Yo" towards Dragon Island with great energy, as if it was communicating with its fellow tribesmen in the distance. Although it also knew that its voice was so low that it could not be heard by its fellow tribesmen on Dragon Island.
"Sigourney," Ash asked hesitantly, "is there anything else you haven't said?"
Sigourney felt helpless, thinking, "I've been noticed again." He also glanced at the little dragon who was too excited to pay attention to them, and said softly, "The number of dragons is very small. Did you know that?"
Ash: "Yeah."
"The number of dragons in this world may be even rarer than you think." Sigourney changed her way of communication, and her voice rang directly in Ash's spiritual world.
In Baiyilufu, before the Broken River Plain was opened, magic continued to decline.
The laws of the world are hidden and hard to find, magic elements are becoming increasingly rare, and magical creatures are on the verge of extinction...
Now we know the root cause of the change, which is that the world is divided into two, and Bai Yilufu's world is not complete.
In contrast to White Ilufu, Red Ilufu is equally incomplete.
Therefore, in the past, Red Iluf actually faced the same dilemma as White Iluf.
The laws of the world are hidden and hard to find, the magical elements are becoming increasingly rare, and the environment in which magical creatures depend for survival is becoming increasingly harsh.
The more powerful the magical creatures are, the more they rely on a magical environment rich in elements. Once the environment becomes harsh, they will be the first to be affected and will be the most affected.
The most powerful magical creatures in Red Iluv are undoubtedly the dragons.
The life span of dragons is indeed very long, which can be counted as tens of thousands of years. But this is under the premise of a superior magical environment.
When the magical environment turns hostile, life becomes difficult for the dragon clan.
"Over a long period of time, many dragons died, and many more chose to sleep." Signe said, "There are less than ten dragons still awake on Dragon Island now."
Of course, the combat power of all ten of them combined is extremely terrifying.
Ash was stunned: "Then Gray's parents..."
Is he dead, or asleep, or is he on Dragon Island now?
Sigourney shook his head slightly, he wasn't sure either.
"I heard there is a golden dragon on Dragon Island..."
Gray is also a golden dragon, maybe the other party is Gray's father?
That's why he delayed telling Gray about the current situation of the dragon clan.
If its parents were still alive, telling it in advance would only make it sad in vain.
If its parents are no longer around, I hope that it can enter this world happily within a short period of time after it is born, rather than facing sadness from the beginning.
Ash understood what Sigourney was thinking.
Beneath the seemingly indifferent face, he is actually gentle and delicate.
He would never forget the amazement and praise he felt when he first saw the entirety of the dazzling royal city on the astronomical observatory, just as he would always remember that it was Sigourney who brought this scene to his eyes.
"Didn't you say before that the golden dragon is the most powerful among the dragons?" Ash said optimistically, "Such a precious bloodline, even if it's not a parent, it might be a relative."
Sigourney glanced at him. What nonsense is he talking about? Those shameless guys in the dragon clan can find out the complicated relationship between them if they pick any two of them.
However, this glance fell into Ash's clear and determined eyes, and he couldn't pull it out.
Um……
That’s…very true.
The alchemical boat was rapidly approaching Dragon Island, without much disguise, and was sailing unusually smoothly.
After entering a certain range, the dragons active on Dragon Island sensed the breath of outsiders.
"There are outsiders." The blue dragon in charge of this year's guard reported lazily, "One, two, three... eh?"
He suddenly flew up, staring at the boat with eyes wide open. "Little dragon? Am I seeing right? It's actually a little dragon?" He was so excited that his tail drew an S shape in the air. "How long has it been since a little dragon was born? Oh my! Whose is it? Why was it born outside?"
Then he carefully sensed the breath of the little dragon cub. After sensing it clearly, his body suddenly stiffened and he almost fell from mid-air.
Huh?
He didn't feel wrong?
How come I could sense two familiar auras from the little dragon?
One with an aura similar to that of the golden dragon Lavinia.
One with an aura similar to that of the black dragon Zeldorf.
The scent comes from both parents, so it is normal to sense two different scents from the cub.
But the question now is...
The golden dragon Lavinia and the black dragon Zeldorf—they are both males!
When did they get together?
Ah, that’s not right. Who gave birth to this child?
Uh, that’s not right. How can a male give birth to a baby?
What happened to that baby dragon?
The blue dragon was panicking on the outside but extremely excited on the inside. He shouted loudly and reported to the current dragon clan leader, the golden dragon Lavinia, in a very loud voice: "Chief! You and Zeldorf's child found it yourself!"
Lavinia, who was admiring her own beauty in the cave, was confused: "..."
I have a child? With whom? Zeldorf? Huh? I slept with him?
shock!
Zeldorf, who was lying on the treasure with his eyes closed, said: "..."
He opened his eyes and thought: Did I just have a nightmare? Did he dream that someone put his name in the same sentence as that shameless guy Lavinia?
Other awake dragons: "!!!"
Lavinia? Zeldorf? The child?
Really? Where?
Go for it!
Ash and his group, who were approaching Dragon Island, first finally saw a flying blue dragon above the island. Then they watched the blue dragon twisting in the air like it was having cramps, followed by a loud dragon roar that sounded extremely excited.
Afterwards, the entire Dragon Island seemed to wake up, with the sound of dragons roaring one after another, as if they were eagerly communicating something.
Before they could decide whether the dragons were angry or just excited to see the little dragon, they were surrounded by seven or eight dragons from mid-air, looking down at them with sharp eyes.
