The rising morning light poured down from the sky.
The light is like broken gold, falling on the vast expanse of water Endless Sea, reflecting thousands of dancing sparkling waves.
Somewhere in this vast ocean, a large-scale main island stands majestically, like the heart of Ocean, surrounded by islands of various sizes dotted around it.
Although there are rough waves and turbulent tides all around, it seems that there is an invisible force protecting them, which cannot shake these islands in the slightest.
Here, it is Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm controlled by Silver Dragon King.
Similar to the Radiant Dragon Realm, the sky here is also shrouded in the unpredictable, gorgeous and magnificent Aurora Canopy, effectively blocking prying eyes from the outside.
And just when the morning light and the aurora shine together.
Orvis and his party carried the unconscious Red Iron Dragon across a long distance and arrived at the sky of the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm.
Old Gold Dragon looked at the majestic main island below, pondered for a moment, and then ordered the two heirs beside him, "Alberto, Nasha, you go to the main island immediately and go straight to Dragonbreath Temple."
"Remember, don't take the initiative to mention Garos. Just cry that you were attacked by Bronze Dragon Xiano. Emphasize that the other party's methods were ruthless and you almost died. Please ask the elders to seek justice for you."
"Try to make as much noise as possible so that more people of the same race know about it."
"When an elder comes forward to inquire in detail, then "force yourself to calm down" and tell the whole story truthfully."
The dragon elders all have rich experience and sharp eyes. It is extremely difficult to deceive or deliberately mislead them.
However, other ordinary Metal Dragon's emotions are relatively easy to be influenced and guided.
Old Gold Dragon knows this very well.
As for Dragonbreath Temple, it is the core place where Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm elders gather to discuss Dragon Realm major events.
In addition, although Silver Dragon King, like several other Primordial Dragon kings, lives in seclusion and rarely appears, his body is located directly below Dragonbreath Temple.
Whenever the dragon elders discuss various matters here, Silver Dragon King actually listens.
However, unless it is related to the Dragon Realm's life or death or an extremely important event, he usually will not directly issue specific instructions.
"Okay! We promise to do everything beautifully!"
When Alberto and Nasha heard this, their spirits immediately lifted.
These two words Gold Dragon are originally afraid of the world being in chaos. This arrangement of Old Gold Dragon really won their hearts. It is exactly what they want to do but are afraid of being scolded.
The two siblings immediately waved their dragon wings and flew happily towards the main island.
"Kill the dragon! Kill the dragon!"
"The noble and righteous Gold Dragon will be killed by his own people!"
"The evil Bronze Dragon of the Raging Tide Dragon Realm is going to kill Gold Dragon! Are there any dragon tubes left?"
Before they arrived at Dragonbreath Temple, the two of them opened their voices along the way and let out extremely shrill wails and shouts. The shrillness of their voices instantly attracted a large number of Metal Dragon's suspicious eyes, and they all looked sideways.
Some of the Metal Dragons, who like to be lively by nature, flapped their dragon wings and followed the two Gold Dragons curiously.
In this way, Alberto and Nasha shouted all the way without any psychological burden. More and more Metal Dragon gathered around them, forming a mighty team, rushing in the direction of Dragonbreath Temple.
At the same time, Old Gold Dragon did not go to the main island, but instead turned and flew to his own exclusive island.
He decided to place Red Iron Dragon in his territory first.
Before the truth of the matter is fully ascertained, if Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm officials are allowed to take Red Iron Dragon into custody first, there is no guarantee that Purification Faction's radical dragon will not secretly cause trouble. Moreover, Old Gold Dragon always has a vague hunch in his heart that there may be something not simple behind this attack, and perhaps it is not just Purification Faction who is pushing it.
Only keeping Red Iron Dragon under your nose is the safest choice at the moment.
Soon after, Orvis arrived at his island.
His Palace is located in the center of the island, with a clear and vast lake in front of it.
Orvis did not go to the Palace. Instead, he carried Red Iron Dragon and dived directly into the cold lake water and kept diving.
Finally, he took Red Iron Dragon to a special water area where the water flow was completely still.
--Stillness Spring.
This is a natural spring formed by the purest water element and the majestic Life Energy. It is a treasure that Old Gold Dragon treasures.
The spring water contains gentle and abundant energy, which has an excellent effect on repairing serious injuries and stabilizing the realm that has just been broken through.
Orvis places Red Iron Dragon in the center of Stillness Spring.
This spring water is highly condensed and feels like semi-solidified amber, completely covering Red Iron Dragon's huge body. At the same time, the spring water seems to have life, slowly penetrating into every inch of his scarred body and scales, gently repairing his riddled body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Orvis gently opened Red Iron Dragon's eyelids and observed carefully, he found that the blood color in his eyes had faded a lot.
"Wake up first."
Old Gold Dragon raised his sharp claws covered with golden scales and shouted, "Hey, Dreamwake Soul-Rending Claw!"
Snap!
He patted the side of Red Iron Dragon's head with a paw.
Red Iron Dragon, who was in a deep coma, suddenly started to wake up, opened his eyes, and suddenly woke up.
Red Iron Dragon made a low grunting sound in his throat, instinctively bared his sharp fangs, tensed his muscles, and was about to attack the figure close at hand.
Immediately afterwards, his blurred vision quickly focused.
He saw clearly that the enemy in front of him was not Bronze Dragon, but Old Gold Dragon Orvis with a familiar face, and he could clearly feel that the gentle energy around him was continuously nourishing his broken body.
He immediately restrained his attacking posture, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed.
"Where... is this?"
Red Iron Dragon stretched his stiff body slightly in Stillness Spring, his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked.
At the same time, he took a deep breath and concentrated.
The invisible spiritual cage was once again condensed and constructed.
Even though the cage wall was covered with countless tiny cracks, as if it would collapse at any time, it still tenaciously performed its duties and suppressed Frenzied Flame deep in its mind again.
The remaining blood in his eyes quickly faded like a tide, eventually returning to its former blackness and depth.
Orvis slowly stroked the long dragon whiskers under his jaw with his paws.
He said, "Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm, in my island."
Red Iron Dragon After hearing this, his nerves were relaxed, and his huge body found a more comfortable posture in the spring water.
"My memory... only remains in the battle with that Bronze Dragon, where I completely lost my mind."
"I have no memory of what happened next." He paused, with a hint of concern in his tone, and asked, "Deborah and the others... are they okay? Also, what is the situation now of the Bronze Dragon who attacked me? Did he escape in the end, or was he arrested by the Dragon Realm."
Orvis stroked the dragon's beard for a moment.
He asked back, "You don't remember at all?"
Red Iron Dragon slowly shook his head and explained, "I also practiced Wild Path, and in this battle, I pushed Wild Form almost to the maximum limit. My consciousness was completely crazy Overlord, and I knew nothing about what happened next."
Old Gold Dragon glanced at Garos suspiciously, with scrutiny in his eyes.
He knew that the situation described by Red Iron Dragon was indeed in line with the behavior of those dragons who were deeply immersed in Wild Path after extreme battles, but deep down in his heart, he felt vaguely that with the caution that Garos usually showed, it was not like a dragon that would allow himself to completely lose his mind and even lose his key memories.
However, Old Gold Dragon did not choose to delve deeper at this moment.
He lost his memory due to the fierce battle and killed a Legendary Realm Metal Dragon in an unconscious state. This is actually a good thing for the current Red Iron Dragon.
"Deborah They are all fine. They were just knocked unconscious before."
"As for Xiano... it's the Legendary Realm Bronze Dragon that attacked you," Orvis stated calmly, "For some reason, he seemed to have lost his mind and refused to retreat from you, and was eventually torn into pieces by you during the battle."
Hearing this, Red Iron Dragon had a look of surprise on his face.
He carefully sensed his condition, and after a moment he suddenly said, "No wonder I feel so weak... It turns out that it is not only the losses caused by high-intensity fighting, but also the huge overdraft caused by forcibly breaking through the Legendary Realm barrier."
Orvis stared at him and said, "Use the weak to defeat the strong, break through before the battle, and counterattack Legendary Realm."
"It is really a pity that the person involved failed to remember such a glorious feat clearly."
Red Iron Dragon let out a deep sigh in cooperation and echoed, "Yes, it's such a pity."
His memory at the moment was indeed shrouded in thick fog, and many details were blurred. He could only vaguely remember that he was filled with rage, and his consciousness was immersed in pure fighting and destruction instincts. In the end, it seemed that something extremely tough was torn into pieces.
The whole process seemed like a bizarre yet extremely real dream.
However, deep in this chaotic "dream", there is a fragment of an incident that is remembered very clearly as if it was engraved in the soul with a soldering iron.
The first time he was close to death.
A low and seductive voice sounded directly and faintly in the depths of his almost stagnant soul, tempting him to surrender his faith and soul.
He instinctively Earth Fury scolded the other party and forcefully rejected the ominous proposal.
However, every word spoken by the other party seemed to contain some kind of transcendent power, breaking through the boundaries of madness and being deeply imprinted in his memory.
When I think back to this day, the words are still clear, as if they just rang in my ears.
As for who the owner of that voice is...
Judging from the meaning revealed in his words and the call that seemed to come from the source of blood, if there were no accidents, it was probably the legendary Immortal Dragon Queen, also known as Evil Dragon God, who symbolized evil and chaos.
"The blood of the red dragon flows in my body, and I perform very well. It's normal for me to be targeted."
"But when did it start? When did that Deity set his sights on me?"
Garos thought silently in his heart and felt a little heavy.
Deep down in his heart, he is very reluctant to get involved with any Deity, no matter whether the other party is a righteous god who promotes order or an evil god who advocates chaos.
The choice to conceal the whispers of Immortal Dragon Queen from Orvis was out of a more cautious idea.
Even though he sternly refused at that time and even scolded that Immortal Dragon Queen.
But just the fact of "being able to hear the dragon queen's whisper" and "being personally won over by Evil Dragon God" is definitely not a good thing in the eyes of most Metal Dragon, and may even arouse great suspicion and rejection.
Besides, how should he prove to himself that he sincerely rejected the Dragon Queen unswervingly?
Once you get involved with this Evil Dragon God, many things will become rational and unclear.
If Orvis is told everything at this moment, this Old Gold Dragon may choose to stand on his side based on trust and his own judgment, but this also carries a huge risk, which may cause some Metal Dragon who might otherwise remain neutral or even slightly biased towards him, to become wary and distant, or even completely distrustful.
"I killed a Legendary Realm Bronze Dragon, Dragon Realm How will my actions be judged in the end? How will I be treated?"
Garos calmed down the turbulent thoughts in his heart, brought his focus back to reality, and asked Orvis.
Orvis looked at Red Iron Dragon carefully and noticed that the other party seemed to be hiding something unspeakable.
He did not choose to inquire further, but replied in a calm tone, "Don't worry, you don't have to be too nervous or worried."
"For this incident, Xiano brought it upon himself. He was the first to attack his own people. He is to blame."
"Although he does have some supporters in the Dragon Realm, you have to believe that Metal Dragon who are sensible and uphold justice will always be the majority."
"Those Purification Faction dragons with extreme ideas and radical behaviors are, after all, only a minority."
Garos was not completely reassured and calmly analyzed. "However, most of the silent Metal Dragon are often more accustomed to remaining silent when facing those members of the same race with extreme personalities and loud voices."
"The aggressive voices of those minorities will appear particularly harsh and prominent."
Orvis nodded slowly and admitted. "The situation you mentioned does exist."
"However, Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm is a place that values order and rules after all."
"Being reasonable does not mean raising your voice. The final decision-making power lies in the hands of Council of Elders. Those voices that are too harsh and lacking in reason cannot really affect the fair decision-making of the elders."
After a pause, Old Gold Dragon's tone became a little more relaxed, with a smile on his face, and he said, "The most important thing is, don't forget, you are Dragon Realm Champion who just won the first place in the Radiant Dragon Realm, and everyone is watching."
"You have already broken through and become Legendary Realm at a young age, and your potential is unlimited."
"Looking at Xiano, not only was he at fault in the first place, but... he is now dead."
Simply put, a living Legendary Realm is more valuable than a dead one.
The amazing potential displayed by Garos will certainly attract the hostility of extreme dragons like Xiano, but it will also arouse the appreciation and recognition of many far-sighted dragons.
Nowadays, Dragon Race is gradually declining as a whole.
In the eyes of many giant dragons, it is undoubtedly a good thing to be thankful for to have one more powerful and promising sibling.
In the final analysis, your own strength and value are the key chips that determine your destiny.
If he had unfortunately died in a previous attack, the situation would have been completely different.
By then, even if Bronze Dragon Xiano was at fault first, Dragon Realm's senior management would never severely execute a living Legendary Realm Metal Dragon for the sake of a dead Red Iron Dragon. At most, they would only give some punishment.
This is also the key reason why Bronze Dragon dared to intercept and kill him.
"Just sleep peacefully here. Don't think too much. Concentrate all your energy and shape your Legendary Realm and characteristics. By the time you wake up from your slumber, the matter will be settled."
Orvis comforted him with a gentle tone.
Garos also really felt the fatigue coming from the depths of his soul, coming in waves like a tide.
He made a breakthrough in the battle, Legendary Realm's realm has not yet been stabilized, and his foundation is unstable.
This time of deep sleep to heal the wounds and consolidate the realm will probably take a long time, and will most likely be calculated in years.
"I have personally experienced the power of the field several times."
Garos couldn't help but sigh, "It won't be long before I master my own field."
"Legendary Realm, Legendary Realm... It took me a hundred years and countless efforts to finally reach this point."
A hundred years of achievement Legendary Realm... This speed is incredibly fast for the long-lived Dragon Race. It is an achievement that can record its own name in the inheritance.
But listening to his tone, it seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with this and feels that it is too slow?
Orvis The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he held it back.
He thought about it carefully, his expression became serious again, and he solemnly reminded, "Garos, there is no doubt about the power of the field. This is undeniable, and you have personally felt it."
"However, I have heard mention of it from dragons older than myself."
"For us Dragonkin, the Legendary Trait we gave birth to is very important."
"Dragonkin's domain is usually related to bloodline, and characteristics can define the essence of a Legendary Realm dragon better than domain, and are more critical than domain."
"So, don't neglect the in-depth shaping of your own characteristics just because your field is powerful."
Features more important than domains?
Garos quickly searched in his own Dragon Inheritance and found no records that clearly supported this statement.
It is indeed mentioned in the inherited knowledge that after Dragonkin is promoted to the Legendary Realm, the number of Legendary Trait that can be awakened is usually much higher than that of most other races.
However, there is no clear discussion on which characteristics and fields are strong, weak, light and important.
Red Iron Dragon looked thoughtful, and then said seriously, "Well, I understand."
"I will pay special attention to this."
Old Gold Dragon suddenly raised his head, showing a ostentatious smile that looked a bit like Alberto, and said, "When I broke through the Legendary Realm, I awakened many characteristics, which allowed me to perform outstandingly at the same level."
After saying that, he thought of the Garos in front of him, which was a monster dragon that broke through the Legendary Realm at about a hundred years old, so he became less interested again.
At the same time, a somewhat sullen message was sent to Old Gold Dragon.
"Orvis! Look at the good children you raised!"
"They are now wallowing in Dragonbreath Temple, without the grace and dignity that Gold Dragon Clan should have, and they are still clamoring and insisting on meeting His Majesty Silver Dragon King before they give up! How unbecoming is this?!"
Orvis was slightly startled at first, and then immediately realized that Alberto and Nasha must have added drama to themselves without permission, and did not strictly follow his previous instructions.
However, having said that, "making a big fuss" was his exact words.
Judging from the current situation where the elders are summoned and questioned in person, the commotion over there must be huge. These two guys simply exceeded the standard and completed his explanation.
"It's funny, it's funny. It's because I'm not strict in discipline. I'll go over and deal with it right away."
Orvis quickly responded via subpoena.
Then, he looked back at Red Iron Dragon who was soaked in Stillness Spring, and said, "My partner, Aestrid, she should be back from outside soon."
"I have told her the general story of what happened."
"While I am away, she will personally sit here to ensure the safety of this place."
"Here, you can rest assured and don't have to worry about any form of retaliation or attack. The only thing you have to do now is to sleep peacefully, recover and stabilize your state as soon as possible, become stronger, and show higher value."
Old Gold Dragon never expected that Xiano would carry out such a bold attack.
But overall, his follow-up handling methods are quite stable and thoughtful.
This makes Garos feel more at ease inside.
"I'm afraid it will take a long time for me to sleep."
Garos said, "Ser Wilderness, my blood relatives may be worried about this... Please find a way to appease them and tell them that I am fine, but I just need to retreat for a while."
Old Gold Dragon nodded and readily agreed.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for Alberto or Nasha to go to your territory in person and bring the news."
After all the things that need to be explained are almost settled, Orvis doesn't waste any more time.
His huge dragon body swung upstream and left the bottom area of the lake where Stillness Spring was located.
On the way to the surface of the great lake, Old Gold Dragon laid out layers upon layers of extremely solid protective barriers around it.
At the same time, he called many Elemental Colossus and ordered them to guard here closely.
The leader among them is even Legendary Realm life.
After doing all this, he fluttered his wings and flew towards the Dragonbreath Temple direction of the main island.
During the flight, he kept thinking about it and gradually thought of his words.
Emphasizing that Xiano took the initiative to attack, with ruthless means, harming Metal Dragon's fellow race, and his intention was obviously to fight to the death; emphasizing that Garos was forced into a desperate situation, and broke through the Legendary Realm in order to protect himself, and was forced to fight back in a state of losing his mind, and finally killed the powerful enemy.
At the same time, inside Stillness Spring at the bottom of the deep lake.
Red Iron Dragon Feeling the extreme physical and mental exhaustion, as well as the constant gentle moisture from the surrounding spring water, his heavy eyelids gradually became unable to support him, and finally slowly closed them, falling into a deep sleep.
However, this sleep was completely different from his previous sleep.
Although the conscious subject fell into dormancy, his subconscious mind still remained awake to a certain extent, silently guiding the body in dreams and beginning to shape Legendary Realm and characteristics.
I saw that with the sleeping Red Iron Dragon as the center, in the surrounding springs, from time to time, clusters of leaping flames would be ignited out of thin air without warning, and they would disappear in an instant; occasionally, a small piece of irregularly shaped steel would be shaped out of thin air, and then quietly disappear.
There are no combustibles, no metal raw materials... all these phenomena go against the common sense of the world.
The shaping process of the Legendary Realm is a challenge to the existing world rules and a reshaping and redefining of common sense cognition.
Legendary Realm Life has touched a bit of the essence of the world, and can influence changes through fields.
As the sleeping time passes quietly.
In the depths of the trance-like dream, Red Iron Dragon seemed to have relived the countless arduous training of strength in the past.
Countless sleepless days and nights; pouring sweat; and the hardship of challenging the limits again and again.
The strong muscles under his scales also undergo subtle and continuous changes. Sometimes they expand and expand, sometimes they contract and condense. This cycle goes back and forth, undergoing some kind of deep tempering and transformation.
Finally, at a certain moment.
Red Iron Dragon felt something in the center of darkness, and a kind of enlightenment naturally came to his mind.
He knew that he successfully gave birth to the first item Legendary Trait, which can also be called a template or expertise.
Legendary Trait: Colossal Strength.
--Thanks to countless tempering and exploration of strength in the past, the nature of your strength has undergone a fundamental transformation. Your basic strength has been increased threefold, and your strength growth efficiency has been tripled.
No matter how hard you work, you will reap three percent.
Simple yet powerful.
And this is just the beginning.
In subsequent dreams, Red Iron Dragon seemed to relive the scene of him struggling to stretch his wings countless times, enduring the tearing pain from his wing roots, and soaring tirelessly over and over again in the vast sky.
He was bathed in wind, frost, rain, snow, and thunder, and practiced his speed and maneuverability countless times.
Superspeed, dexterous... Two more new ones, Legendary Trait, began to germinate and sprout in his body.
And this still seems to be just the beginning.
It is foreseeable that the number of Legendary Trait that Red Iron Dragon can eventually awaken will far exceed the ordinary Dragonkin.
All the hardships he has put in in the past, every drop of sweat, and every pain he has endured have never been forgotten by his body. At this moment, all his efforts will be transformed into real rewards, and he will become a butterfly.
