The night is getting darker, soaking into the Dragon Valley sky.
Soon after, in a spacious and comfortable dormitory deep in Burning Steel Fortress, Red-Silver Dragon Deborah faintly woke up after resting for quite some time.
"The damn Garos is a tireless monster!"
Feeling the soreness still coming from the muscles all over his body, Red-Silver Dragon couldn't help but grinned and complained in a low voice.
She carefully moved her stiff limbs, then tried not to make any noise, and tiptoed out, intending to sneak out for some air.
"Deborah, you're awake~"
At this moment, a crisp and cheerful voice sounded.
Fairy Dragon Vera flapped its small translucent wings and got in from an open window.
At this time, the epic game between Red Dragon Queen and Burning Iron King had come to an end earlier.
After having fun, the red dragon Samantha said goodbye to Fairy Dragon and returned to Ser Wilderness to manage the alchemy industry.
Fairy Dragon, who is always energetic and never-endingly playful, felt a little bored after Samantha left, so he naturally thought of looking for Deborah, and happened to see Red-Silver Dragon just waking up.
"Vera, you came just in time."
Red-Silver Dragon lowered his voice and asked, "Garos... Is he still exercising outside? Hum, this evil Red Iron Dragon, if he sees me awake, he might force me to train again."
Fairy Dragon Vera blinked.
She pondered for a second or two, and then said with a smile, "No, no! Garos He has finished exercising long ago and is resting now. He is sleeping deeply. It will definitely be fine if you go out now, don't worry!"
A glimmer of suspicion flashed in Red-Silver Dragon Deborah's eyes, but he did not immediately relax his vigilance because of Vera's words.
After all, she knew very well how much this little friend loved playing pranks.
However, at the moment when Deborah hesitated, the smile on Fairy Dragon Vera's face suddenly dropped, putting on an extremely serious and righteous expression, and said, "Deborah! We must recognize the reality! The current Red Iron Dragon is really evil! Today he forced you to exercise, and tomorrow this cruel rule may befall me!"
"Don't worry, I, Vera, will definitely stand by your side and become your most reliable ally."
"Let's fight against his tyranny together!"
After hearing Vera's generous Bloodburst declaration of alliance, and looking at her extremely sincere eyes, Red-Silver Dragon let go of the last trace of wariness in his heart, and nodded movedly.
"Okay! Vera, from today on, you are my strongest ally in resisting the tyranny of Garos!"
She regained her courage and walked out of the grand gate of Burning Steel Fortress. Then she stood on the edge of the high platform, sticking out only half of her head and a pair of eyes, and quietly observed the situation in the valley below.
However, what was reflected in Red-Silver Dragon's vision was not the scene Vera said at all.
The dark red figure with muscles that made Dragon Heart tremble with fear was undergoing intense training at the bottom of the valley, accompanied by bursts of dull thunderous rumbling sounds.
The steaming heat wave even distorted the surrounding air!
"V--la--?!"
Red-Silver Dragon's heart suddenly tightened, and he almost squeezed these two words out of his throat.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at the location where Fairy Dragon was just now, only to find that the place had long since disappeared, leaving only a shadow of Vera made of weak illusions, rolling on the ground and making faces at her. At the same time, the little bastard's clear and triumphant shouts echoed in the air.
"I've been fooled, I've been fooled!"
"Liaoluuluo~ This time it is the victory of the clever Vera!"
Obviously, Fairy Dragon is playing a prank on himself.
"Ah! I was actually deceived by Vera!"
Red-Silver Dragon swung his tail in anger and annoyance, feeling annoyed that he was unable to see through Vera's not-so-clever trick due to physical fatigue and lack of concentration.
She and Fairy Dragon often play various games and competitions.
Mutual pranks are also part of the daily entertainment.
Since Red-Silver Dragon's mind is usually more delicate and sharp, in most of the past confrontations, the one who suffered the loss was often the neurotic Fairy Dragon.
But this time.
Because he was not focused, Vera managed to win the game back.
Quickly coming back to his senses, Deborah immediately held his breath, turned around, and prepared to sneak back into the depths of the fortress as quickly as possible, pretending that he had never woken up or come out.
However, her paws had just taken a few steps.
Phew--!
A strong wind suddenly blew.
Immediately afterwards, Red-Silver Dragon's field of vision was completely filled by a huge and thick wall of soldered red iron.
If you look closely, you will see that the iron wall is covered with layers of dragon scales, like metal armor that has been tempered over thousands of times.
It is the scale of Garos.
Deborah didn't have time to make an effective dodge, and with a clang, he hit Garos's broad and hard chest.
The results are obvious.
Garos's huge body remained motionless, as if it had hit a mountain instead of a dragon.
Red-Silver Dragon was so shocked that he stumbled back several steps and almost fell to the ground.
She shook her dizzy head and looked at Red Iron Dragon, who was completely blocking her way, with a guilty smile on her face.
"Garos, what a coincidence."
"I, I actually haven't fully rested yet. I just woke up and went out for a walk to do some exercise."
"Just go on, just keep exercising, don't worry about it at all."
Before she could finish her words, the end of her words suddenly turned into an infinitely stretched scream.
The sturdy Red Iron Dragon stretched out its huge claws, grabbed the target, and lifted up the entire Red-Silver Dragon, which looked particularly petite in comparison.
Then, his huge wings suddenly spread out, and with Red-Silver Dragon on his shoulders, he fell towards the training ground at the bottom of the valley!
"Deborah, you shouldn't be so lazy. Now that you've woken up, let's continue."
"I will give you a good whip!"
Red Iron Dragon transformed into coach Devil, his demeanor and movements were full of aggression and aggression, and once again forced Red-Silver Dragon to train with him.
He seems a little rough and doesn't tolerate any laziness or shrinking.
However, the strange thing is that after Red-Silver Dragon Deborah was initially helpless, he found that he did not reject Garos in this state. His unquestionable strong posture had a different kind of charm.
As the exercise continues, the body's fatigue comes again like a tide.
But Deborah's mentality is slowly changing, and he is beginning to gradually adapt to and accept this forced growth.
She majored in the legal system, focusing on the study and application of magic.
But in any case, for any giant dragon, there is absolutely no harm in having a stronger body.
Moreover, although Garos was very demanding, he was not unreasonable. He did not let her exercise excessively to the point of damaging her physical foundation, but rather challenged her laziness and limits.
At the same time, outside the wind and snow far away from Dragon Valley.
In his prime, Blue Dragon Zolaya flapped his wings, like a Blue Dragon lightning tearing through the sky, quickly crossed over the rough waves Estonia River, and soon arrived at the Borderlands sky shrouded in wind and snow.
"Molten Iron King, according to the intelligence, he should be of the fire element or related to fire Dragonkin."
"Why would he be willing, or rather choose, to live in such a cold environment? This is inconsistent with his own strength attributes."
Zolaya tore open the thick curtain of wind and snow in front of him, and couldn't help but recall all the intelligence information he had collected before.
"There are rumors that he conquered Immortal Bird, who values beauty only by his appearance and temperament."
"There are rumors that he is the descendant of Mad King Gorsas. He has a cruel and cold personality and committed patricide without any psychological burden."
"There are rumors that he just shook the dragon body and made the Map Kings in the northwest region choose to surrender and pledge their allegiance."
"There are even more outrageous rumors that he is very, very young and now he is just a Young Dragon."
"."
Rumors like this are widely circulated in the Ser Wilderness circle.
"Most of them are too exaggerated, especially the rumors that he is just Young Dragon... it is simply ridiculous."
Zolaya scoffed inwardly.
"Only those short-lived races who have never truly understood dragons would take it for granted."
"The dragon lord who can kill Gorsas and rule an area, no matter how talented he is, has at least entered adulthood for a long time, or has just entered his prime, so he cannot be Young Dragon."
"But, having said that, those rumors may not be completely groundless."
She thought calmly, "This Molten Iron King must have many unique features that can shock and impress other creatures. Otherwise, there would not be so many rumors about the Legendary Realm."
Thinking of this, Blue Dragon Zolaya couldn't help but become more and more curious about Red Iron Dragon, whom he had never met before.
She grew up among Dominic Dragonflight since she was a child, and is a direct descendant of the leader of the dragon group.
Thanks to her excellent bloodline and her rare mutation talent, the strength she can unleash in battle is always higher than other Blue Dragons of the same level, and Life Level's improvement speed is also faster than ordinary Blue Dragons.
Her father, Thunderheart Perest, once said so personally.
As long as she is given hundreds more years to grow and hone, her future achievements will surely surpass hers.
By then, Zolaya will become the new and more powerful leader of Dominic Dragonflight.
Because of this, Zolaya, who has always been arrogant and looked down upon other dragons of the same age or level, could imagine the shock and curiosity he felt after hearing about the series of deeds of Red Iron Dragon.
"I will soon be able to verify with my own eyes whether those rumors are true or false."
Blue Dragon calmed down his racing thoughts and accelerated towards the location of Dragon Valley according to the coordinates provided by Iron Dragon Sorog.
After some time.
On a vast expanse of snow, the outline of a valley standing on the earth gradually appeared in Blue Dragon Zolaya's field of vision.
Even from a considerable distance, she could vaguely feel the Dragonkin aura that pervaded that area.
The howling wind could not completely blow it away, which meant that there were a large number of Dragonkin living in that area at the same time.
"Here we are, this is the territory of Dragon Valley, Molten Iron King."
"I have seen a lot of strongholds along the way. He has a lot of background in Borderlands."
Blue Dragon refreshed himself, flapped his wings quickly, and approached towards the valley.
However, she did not wait until she completely reached the area above Dragon Valley.
Hoo ho ho--!
The wind and snow curtain in front of the side was suddenly torn apart by strong air currents! One after another, huge figures with fierce postures appeared and quickly surrounded Blue Dragon.
They have huge leather wings that resemble dragons and a pair of strong and powerful claws. Their bodies are covered with thick dark scales, and needle-like poisonous spikes grow at the end of their tails.
It is Dragon Valley Air Guard.
Two-Legged Wyvern group.
"Strange dragon! Stop immediately! State your identity and purpose of coming!"
The leader, Commander Wyvern, let out a low roar, with a fierce look in his eyes, showing no fear at all because the opponent was a mature dragon.
Zolaya stretched its wings and hovered calmly in mid-air.
She glanced at the Wyvern formation and said, "My name is Zolaya, the daughter of the leader of Dominic Dragonflight. I have come to visit the powerful Molten Iron King to discuss important matters."
Commander Wyvern turned his head and communicated with the smaller Wyvern with his eyes.
Phew!
Wyvern, who was being watched, immediately understood. His body tilted deftly in the air, his wings flapped sharply, like an arrow leaving the string, and he quickly landed towards the Dragon Valley area. He was obviously going to report the news.
"Just wait here quietly. Don't make any rash moves without permission."
Commander Wyvern withdrew his gaze, still staring at the strong man Blue Dragon, and said in a stiff tone.
Zolaya is noncommittal about this.
She was too lazy to waste words with these Subdragon family members. She just hung there quietly, showing her harmlessness and patience, waiting for the other party's response.
Soon after, the Wyvern that had just left the team came back. It flew to the leader's side and neighed a few times in a low voice.
Then, the alert group of Wyvern slowly dispersed in all directions, making way for the air passage to Dragon Valley, indicating that the strong man Blue Dragon was allowed to continue approaching.
Zolaya breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and officially flew towards the majestic valley looming in the wind and snow.
As the distance got closer, her sight penetrated the snowflakes flying in the sky, and she first clearly saw the Burning Steel Fortress standing on the top of the valley like a crown.
"To have a magnificent fortress built in a dangerous place, it seems that the other party is very rich and knows how to utilize resources."
Zolaya quickly judged in his heart.
She came to visit Molten Iron King, on the one hand, to facilitate negotiations, and on the other hand, she also wanted to confirm with her own eyes the level of the opponent's dragons. No matter whether it was a war or a draw, she felt a little bit confident.
In the blink of an eye, Zolaya had flown directly above Dragon Valley.
She lowered her head subconsciously, looking through the thinning wind and snow towards the bottom of the valley.
And her field of vision, at the first moment, was completely occupied by that majestic figure.
Hiss--!
With Blue Dragon's calmness, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at this moment, his eyes widened in an instant, and his heart beat violently uncontrollably.
What did she see?!
It was an unbelievably strong dragon that could even dwarf the red dragon, which was also famous for its strength. It was a terrifying dragon that looked somewhat thin.
He just stood there, like a Mountain Range made of muscle and steel.
The layered dragon scales, the blade wings and tail with special structures, the strong body, and the mixed-blood Metal Dragon lying next to him as if he had been tortured. These all left an indelible impression on Zolaya.
The crisscrossing lines of fire on his body are gradually fading away, and his breath is slowly weakening.
But even so, the powerful feeling naturally revealed on his body still made Zolaya, who was hovering in the air, feel deeply uneasy, as if he was completely exposed to an existence that could kill him at any time, and his life and death were not under his control.
What surprised and confused Zolaya the most was that he possessed two completely different temperaments at the same time.
One is as violent and majestic as fire; the other is as calm and rational as an abyss.
These two temperaments, which should have been contradictory and incompatible with each other, now coexisted in him, creating a feeling of uniqueness.
"Perhaps... this Molten Iron King is more powerful than my father."
Personally feeling the aftertaste of Dragon Might from Molten Iron King, this thought came to Zolaya uncontrollably, and his eyes flickered.
At this moment, a calm, suppressed, and unquestionable voice sounded.
"Come down."
Red Iron Dragon raised his head and said.
Obviously from a physical location point of view, he is the one located lower on the earth's surface.
But while Blue Dragon Zolaya was in a trance, he had an illusion, as if he was being looked down on from a high place, but he was actually suspended in the air.
He looked at Red Iron Dragon's calm and dangerous eyes with some abnormal bloodshot eyes.
Blue Dragon Zolaya's heart suddenly trembled, and all distracting thoughts were instantly cleared away.
She did not dare to neglect, and immediately lowered her flying altitude, landing not far from the opposite side of Red Iron Dragon.
She retracted her wings and slightly lowered her beautiful head with its unique antlers-like forks.
"Zolaya·Dominic, come here on the orders of [Heart of Thunder], Dominic Dragonflight leader Perest."
Blue Dragon said, "The noble and powerful Molten Iron King, Garos, I send you my greetings. I am honored to see your majesty with my own eyes."
Her actions and words represent weakness and respect in Dragonkin's social habits, indicating that she puts herself in a lower position and has no intention of provoking.
Red Iron Dragon looked at the Blue Dragon messenger in front of him.
His eyes stayed for a moment longer on her beautiful natural Blue Dragon scales and her distinctive pair of dragon horns with many elegant forks.
"Molten Iron Tribe, my subordinate, once took in several young Dragonkin from Dominic Dragonflight."
Garos went straight to the point without any pleasantries or politeness, and asked bluntly, "Are you here for them?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Zolaya admitted frankly, but his tone remained respectful. "On behalf of Dominic Dragonflight, I sincerely hope to have a communication with you and facilitate friendly negotiations on this matter."
Having said this, Blue Dragon's voice paused slightly, and the conversation quietly changed.
"However, in addition to conveying the wishes of the dragons, I have another thing that I want to plead with you privately."
"This matter only represents me, Zolaya, and has nothing to do with the dragons."
Zolaya slowly raised his head, his clear eyes reflecting the figure of Red Iron Dragon.
Garos has an expressionless face.
"Say."
Only one simple word came out of his mouth.
Blue Dragon was silent for a few seconds, as if he was organizing his words.
Then, under the gaze of Red Iron Dragon, she made up her mind and whispered, "I hope you can help me kill the leader of Dominic Dragonflight, which is my father."
"For this, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."
Huh?
Do you also want to kill your father?
Is this already some kind of Evil Dragon tradition?
When he heard this completely unexpected request, Garos's expression changed slightly.
The family affection between Evil Dragon is weak, but even so, patricide is actually very rare. If he were not sure that the Blue Dragon in front of him was not joking, he might think that the other party was mocking him.
