A few days later.
The broad dragon wings with red lines slowly stretched out, revealing two entangled dragon bodies underneath.
Their dragon tails are tightly entwined like snakes crossing their necks, and their bodies covered with scales of different colors and textures are in close contact with each other. The scales rub against each other in subtle movements, making a rustling, metallic sound.
"Huh... huh..."
Red-Silver Dragon Deborah's chest was heaving violently, and his breathing was heavy and rapid.
Because the previous battle was too intense, the gleaming and beautifully arranged silver-honey two-color scales on her body now have many fine crack marks, and some of the places that have been hardest hit are even slightly oozing with blood. On the other hand, Red Iron Dragon Garos, on his thick black and red scales, there are some light scratches that are not obvious, as well as a few melting frost ice crystals.
Red-Silver Dragon is exhausted.
However, Garos looked calm and at ease.
After just a short rest, Red Iron Dragon's strong muscles began to bulge again.
He lowered his head, opened his mouth and gently bit the back of Red-Silver Dragon's slender and graceful neck with his sharp teeth.
"Wait... wait, Garos."
"I... I really can't do it anymore."
Red-Silver Dragon's voice was hoarse and tired, and he begged for mercy.
Garos was so strong that she felt like her bones were about to fall apart.
Whether it was his mighty dragon form at this moment, his powerful human form, or any other possible form, she was far from an opponent. His body, which had been tempered many times, was as hard as refined steel.
Red Iron Dragon stopped insisting and released his bite.
After taking a few more breaths, my still-rapid heartbeat calmed down a bit.
Red-Silver Dragon gently leaned his head against the solid side of Red Iron Dragon's neck and said softly, "Garos, I know that with your excellence and strength, I will definitely be more than just your partner in the future."
After a pause, she continued, "I will not use Metal Dragon's ideas to bind you, but you must promise me."
"--No matter what the future holds, I will always occupy the most important position in your heart."
"This is also my only request, or hope."
Her voice was very soft and also very serious.
Dragonkin society has been nakedly respecting the strong since ancient times.
Unless the strength of the two dragons can always be consistent, the more powerful one will naturally be surrounded by many people of the opposite sex who are eager to attach themselves to or be attracted to it.
This is not just the norm for Chromatic Evil Dragonss.
Even in the Metal Dragon Clan, similar situations are common.
Red-Silver Dragon Deborah sees this very clearly.
She knew very well that Garos was like the most dazzling torch in the darkness. No matter where she went, she was destined to attract countless eyes of adoration or admiration.
Instead of trying to set rules and regulations for him, it eventually caused him to have a gap in his heart.
It is better to give him the freedom to choose from the beginning.
At the same time, under this established premise, she wanted to ensure that the imprint she left on his heart was the most profound and the position she occupied was the most unshakable.
This is why she decided not to wait for the last two years.
She didn't want any accidents to happen, causing some "charming and cheap dragons" in her eyes, such as Blue Dragon Zolaya, who had enchanting dragon horns and always had hooks in her eyes, to get the chance to get there first.
That would make her regret it.
Beside him, Red Iron Dragon was silent for a few seconds, and Red-Silver Dragon's slightly uneasy face was reflected in his dragon eyes.
He did not immediately give those easy and sweet promises, but slowly opened his mouth and said Red-Silver Dragon's favorite riddle in a low and magnetic voice.
"In this vast world, there is a unique existence."
"It was born in a cold place where the wind and snow roared, but it is hotter and heart-burning than lava."
"It once fought against me and regarded me as an enemy, but in the end it chose to follow me closely under my wing shadow."
"It has witnessed my rise step by step from the humble beginnings, and it is destined to accompany me until the end of the world; it has watched the wind and snow dancing in the sky with me, and it has also worked with me to build the first cornerstone of Burning Steel Fortress."
"Tell me, Deborah, what is it?"
The answer is already ready to come out.
Red-Silver Dragon Deborah was slightly startled at first, and then, a bright smile bloomed on her beautiful dragon face, and the previous anxiety and uneasiness disappeared at this moment.
Her slender dragon tail lifted up and wrapped around Red Iron Dragon's strong body again.
Time passed by leisurely.
Soon, it was a few days later.
Red Iron Dragon walked out of the depths of the fortress for the first time, stood on the high platform, took a deep breath of the cool outside air, felt the stretch of his lungs, and at the same time stretched his muscles, bones and limbs.
Because the long-term depression was released and satisfied, he felt that the Dragon Qi in his body seemed to be running more smoothly than before, and even the operation of his thoughts became clearer and sharper.
The whole dragon is in a state of calmness and refreshment.
As for Red-Silver Dragon, she fell into a deep sleep and has not yet woken up.
The physical gap between the two sides was indeed too large. For Deborah, this period of time was no less consuming than a fierce and long-lasting battle. After everything was over, she was overwhelmed by fatigue almost instantly and fell into a deep rest to repair the huge consumption of body and spirit.
Garos actually has some unfinished ideas in his heart.
However, considering Red-Silver Dragon's current state and the fact that he had wasted a lot of exercise time for this, he felt that he could no longer indulge and indulge in it, and it was time to pick up the daily rigorous exercise again.
Indulging desires can only be an occasional adjustment in life.
Sticking to one's heart is his Garos normal state.
With his mind made up, Red Iron Dragon waved his wings lightly, and his huge body took off nimbly into the air. He circled in the sky above Dragon Valley for several times, and after fully exercising his muscles, he landed steadily on the training ground at the bottom of the valley.
On the other side, Gold Dragon Alberto is doing morning exercises.
His whole body was steaming with heat, and he had obviously been training for a while.
Seeing Red Iron Dragon, whom he hadn't seen for a while, finally appeared, Alberto stopped waving his claws.
He came closer with a bit of curiosity and asked doubtfully, "Garos? What have you been doing in the fortress all this time? It's really strange that you stopped your daily exercise for the first time."
Garos glanced at him and said casually, "Sleep."
Hearing this, Gold Dragon Alberto shook his head slightly, with an expression of "You have fallen" on his face.
"There is no serious injury that requires rest, and there is no over-exercise that leads to exhaustion. I just took the initiative to go to bed, and I slept for so many days...Garos, you are slacking off!"
As he was talking, Alberto suddenly seemed to remember something.
He shook his tail covered with golden scales in annoyance.
No! Why should I remind him? Isn't this a great opportunity for me to surpass him? I should encourage him to sleep more and rest more!
he thought to himself.
But the thought only passed by for a moment.
Soon, he changed his mind and felt relieved again.
"No, that's not good either."
"A Red Iron Dragon who is willing to be mediocre and take the initiative to relax will not be able to bring me any real sense of accomplishment and glory even if he is surpassed by me in the end."
Thinking like this, Alberto decided to use the provocation method.
He puffed up his chest and continued to Red Iron Dragon, "What? Do you feel that now that you have reached level 20, your strength has greatly increased, and you no longer need to carry out the boring but necessary exercises day after day like in the past?"
"If you really think so, then wait until you are completely surpassed by me!"
"Garos, you have to know that when you insist on exercising, I, Alberto, am also sweating and never stop; and when you choose to sleep and rest, I, Alberto, am still working hard to hone myself!"
"I am not a dragon who is willing to fall behind and be mediocre."
He said solemnly, "Wait, until the day you lose to me, I will let you experience what it feels like to be burdened with heavy debt."
Although the original intention was to encourage Garos to get back on his feet, when it came to this, Alberto couldn't help but be immersed in beautiful fantasies, and incomparably wonderful scenes emerged in his mind.
For example, Red Iron Dragon had to accept various commissions from him in order to repay the huge debt of defeat.
Red Iron Dragon disguised himself as the terrifying ancient Evil Dragon, appeared in a large gathering place of humans or Elf, bared his teeth and claws, and created panic.
Then, just when Evil Dragon was about to commit murder, the people fell into despair.
The great Golden Order, Alberto·Aurelius were like divine soldiers descending from the sky. After a thrilling battle of justice, they finally defeated the terrible Evil Dragon under the spotlight and saved the common people!
When the time comes, he will surely be able to reap massive praise, worship and glory.
His title of Golden Order will surely spread all over the world along with this heroic deed, and will be praised by countless living beings.
Soon after, Alberto came back from his intoxicating fantasy and was about to discuss the issue of hard work and slack with Red Iron Dragon, but he found that Red Iron Dragon had disappeared from his eyes.
He turned his head and looked doubtfully.
Red Iron Dragon has already started his daily exercise vigorously at the other end of the training ground, and has no intention of wasting another second chatting with him.
Seeing this, Alberto also put away all distracting thoughts.
He said no more and returned to his hard training, determined not to be left too far behind.
After a while, White Dragon Tressie, who was all white and exuding a biting cold air, slowly flapped his wings and flew over.
She waited patiently until Garos completed a set of high-intensity explosive training and there was a short pause before she came to him.
Under the gaze of Red Iron Dragon, White Dragon Tressie got straight to the point and said, "Garos, there is one thing that I need to ask for your consent."
Garos Succinctly and comprehensively. "Say."
Tressie organized his speech and said, "Since the development of the tribe, the Hatchling Dragon and Dragonling who were originally sent to Borderlands have generally grown into Young Adult Dragon, and their body size and required space for activities have increased significantly."
"Moreover, according to the current trend, more newborn dragonets will be sent to Borderlands for training and protection in the future."
"Although Dragon Valley is vast, it may not be able to accommodate such a large number of Dragonkin if it remains like this for a long time."
She paused and put forward her idea. "Therefore, I hope to open up an independent territory outside, at a suitable location, specifically as a place to focus on educating and cultivating Hatchling Dragon and Dragonling."
Hearing these words, Garos thought for a moment and nodded.
He was also aware of the problems caused by the increasing number of dragons.
If the tribe wants to develop healthily, it is an inevitable trend for the number of Dragonkin to continue to grow. It is indeed a wise move to take precautions and open a special cultivation base in advance.
"That's right."
"Since this is your idea, you are solely responsible for selecting the site and planning the construction."
He approved.
"It sounds a bit similar to our Dragon Realm's little Dragon Academy."
Gold Dragon Alberto, who was also listening during the exercise, interjected.
"In the Dragon Realm, newly born dragonets will be gathered together for unified education when they reach a certain age."
"However, most of what is taught there is old-fashioned content such as peaceful coexistence and abiding by rules. It is vulgar and boring. I have not liked it since I was a child."
Hearing this, White Dragon Tressie grinned and showed a smile.
"College? Alberto, you reminded me."
"Then, let's name this place White Dragon Academy from now on."
"However, I will not teach false peace or rigid rules like Metal Dragon."
"In my White Dragon Academy, the most important lesson is to let every little dragon clearly understand its ecological niche in the dragon group and in the world!"
As the principal, she Tressie will definitely have a more pleasant life.
Gold Dragon thought for a while, then spoke and said, "When your White Dragon Academy is completed, remember to notify me."
"In my free time, I can teach those little dragons as a specially invited Gold Dragon lecturer and impart some... well, important knowledge."
For example, Charisma Theory, which he firmly believes in.
Although this theory was proposed by Garos, he felt that as the first practitioner besides Garos, he was fully qualified and obliged to carry it forward.
On the other side, hearing the conversation between Tressie and Alberto, Garos was also aroused.
He said, "After your academy is officially completed and operational, I will occasionally come and give guidance to those little dragons who have outstanding performance."
For example, he can teach Destiny Doctrine.
Although this was initially just an outrageous comment by Dragon Brother Gordon, he felt that as Gordon's brother and Molten Iron King, he was fully qualified to refine and sublimate it.
When the time comes, he can tell those young dragons:
Loyalty to Ignas Dragonflight and fighting for the great Molten Iron King is their innate Destiny Rank, and he, Garos, is the "Destiny Rank returned dragon" who leads them to realize Destiny Rank!
This can enhance the cohesion of the dragon group and make them more loyal to themselves.
White Dragon Tressie did not expect that his proposal would not only be approved, but also receive active support from Garos and Alberto.
She nodded solemnly and solemnly promised.
"I will definitely build White Dragon Academy and make it the cradle of the future strong men of the tribe!"
After saying that, Tressie couldn't wait to spread his dragon wings, flew away happily with full enthusiasm, and began to deal with matters related to site selection and preparation.
Garos withdrew his gaze and started exercising again without any distractions.
However, this state of concentration did not last long.
His movements suddenly paused slightly, his dragon eyes suddenly shrank, and then he raised his head to look at the southern sky. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of wind and snow and see the scenes of distant places.
Iron Dragon Sorog's urgent and solemn urgent message rang loudly in his heart.
"Garos! There are a large number of scouts scattered around Mushroom King's Territory reporting at the same time!"
"--In the southwest and southeast regions, on the land governed by Mushroom King, extremely violent fighting noises were heard, with huge momentum and swords soaring into the sky! There are even well-equipped and powerful human legions advancing in the territory of Fungal Monster!"
"The specific situation is unknown, but it is coming with force."
