The decree of Radiant Dragon King is like a needle that calms the sea, calming all the disputes and disturbances surrounding Garos.
After Stillness Spring stabilized for a few days.
He precipitated and adjusted the power he had stirred by shaping his domain and characteristics to an unprecedented peak state.
Garos knows that it is time to return Ser Wilderness that belongs to him.
Frankly speaking, after this incident subsides, his situation in the Dragon Realm is already safe, and he can even foresee that he will enjoy a relatively peaceful life and be respected by dragons.
But this is not his world after all.
Even though there are Metal Dragon companions such as Alberto, Nasha, and the protection of elders such as Orvis, and they have a harmonious relationship with each other, he is not the real Metal Dragon after all.
The blood of the red dragon and Iron Dragon flowing in his body has always been incompatible with this piece of Land of Order.
Besides, he doesn't like being bound by the Dragon Realm's complicated rules.
"I just killed an enemy who actively attacked me and had evil intentions."
"How could something so clear and obvious require years of debate and review?"
"The dragon elders with higher status and stronger power still need to be so concerned about the public opinion of ordinary dragon groups when making decisions?"
"In the end, it even takes Dragon King himself to make the final decision."
Thinking of these, Garos shook his head repeatedly.
Fortunately, he was in a deep sleep most of the time, concentrating on shaping his Legendary Realm and characteristics. If he had stayed awake the whole time, he would definitely not be able to bear being under house arrest in the Dragon Realm in disguise, listening to the dragons from all sides arguing about this matter for several years.
"In a place like this, it's okay to stay for a while occasionally to enjoy the scenery, but to live there for a long time... let's forget it."
Garos thought silently in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he no longer hesitated, suddenly raised his pair of huge dragon wings, and left the energy-rich Stillness Spring.
Soon, he found Legendary Realm Gold Dragon Orvis standing on the peak of the cliff, overlooking the vast sea below.
Alberto and Nasha are also nearby.
Seeing Garos's majestic and majestic figure coming through the sky, Old Gold Dragon turned around with a look of understanding in his eyes, as if he had anticipated his arrival.
Before Garos could speak, Orvis asked directly, "Are you ready to leave?"
"Yes." Red Iron Dragon nodded his huge head, the black and red scales flowing with a deep and cold luster in the sun, "Ser Wilderness There are still many unfinished things waiting for me to deal with, and the plan to build a country cannot be delayed any longer."
Orvis looked at him and said in a calm tone, "Dragon Realm Does staying here make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Your matters have now been properly settled, and there are no longer any obstacles. You can wander around the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm more and experience the scenery that is completely different from your wilderness."
Garos shook his head.
"Maybe I'm used to the wind in the wilderness." He said in a calm voice, "Here at the Dragon Realm, I always feel a little constrained and unaccustomed to it."
He paused, looked at Old Gold Dragon sincerely, and said solemnly, "Elder Orvis, thank you for your protection and care during this time."
"I will keep this friendship in my heart."
In the past few years, if Old Gold Dragon had not fought against all opinions and placed him in Stillness Spring, it would have been difficult for him to successfully enter the realm of the Legendary Realm. Moreover, if he had been taken away by those radical dragons of the Raging Tide Dragon Realm, his end would have been disastrous.
Old Gold Dragon did not mention the external disputes in detail to him.
But Garos knew very well that if he could live peacefully in Stillness Spring, Old Gold Dragon must have endured extraordinary pressure and criticism.
However, I have to admit that this feeling of being protected by a powerful being above... is indeed quite good.
Garos, as Red-Iron Dragon, had a "heart-breaking" fate with his biological father, but now, as Evil Dragon, he unexpectedly enjoys the protection from Metal Dragon. It is true that things in the world are unpredictable and his fate is unpredictable.
Facing Red Iron Dragon who expressed his gratitude in a serious manner, Orvis waved his front paws casually.
His tone was relaxed and uninhibited. "There's no need to be so serious."
"This is my responsibility as the original inviter and guarantor, and it is also a choice I should make based on the facts and the concept of fairness upheld by the Dragon Realm."
At this time, Alberto flapped its wings and came closer.
"Garos, the main reason why you returned to the wilderness this time is to officially establish a country, right? Don't forget your promise. We agreed before that you would give me a piece of territory so that I can express myself to my heart's content and build the "Golden Order" that belongs to me!"
Red Iron Dragon nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I Garos always do what I say."
On the other side, Nasha also flapped his wings excitedly, stirred up waves of air, and shouted, "And me, don't forget to leave me the diplomat position, I am very serious!"
Listening to the conversation between several juniors, Orvis looked thoughtful, then straightened his expression.
He warned Red Iron Dragon: "The founding of a country is a major event that can change the trajectory of your destiny."
"It will make your name resounding everywhere, allowing you to stand on the top of a higher pyramid to seize massive resources and grow faster. But at the same time, it will also be like the most dazzling lighthouse, attracting countless malicious eyes, overt or covert, and bringing unpredictable risks and challenges."
Opposite him, Red Iron Dragon grinned.
"With a respected Legendary Realm Gold Dragon like you supporting me, I am not afraid of any challenge, no matter how big it is." He took advantage of the situation and sent out an invitation. "I will hold a grand celebration banquet when the country is founded. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"
He tried to pull Old Gold Dragon on board to make the background of his new kingdom appear even thicker.
Orvis heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he shook his head repeatedly. "Good boy! Do you want to drag me, an old man, into the disputes of the country?"
"No, no, absolutely not!"
He said, "I don't want to be thousands of miles away and get into trouble for no reason."
"Just in the past few years of dealing with your matter, I haven't had a good night's sleep. After you leave, I must find a place to sleep comfortably and down-to-earth!"
As he spoke, his expression became more serious.
Orvis stroked the flowing dragon beard under his chin and said slowly, "You have to know that all major Dragon Realms have express regulations. In principle, Metal Dragons who have set foot in the Legendary Realm like us are not allowed to personally establish a kingdom."
"Moreover, unless it involves Dragon Realm's interests or there are unavoidable circumstances, we should try our best to avoid getting involved in disputes between kingdoms and empires."
So that's it...Garos suddenly felt at ease.
No wonder, no matter how long it lasts, there are not many examples of countries founded by Evil Dragon, but there are always some, while the countries established by Metal Dragon are almost unheard of.
However, he also captured key information from Orvis's words.
"Legendary Realm dragon" won't work, so dragons like Alberto and Nasha who have not yet stepped into the Legendary Realm, as well as Radiant Dragon Realm's Kalwus, if they are willing, can participate and cheer for him.
Alberto and Nasha also heard this subtext.
They cheered up and confirmed to Old Gold Dragon: "Legendary Realm like you can't do it, but we can go, right? This is not a violation of the Dragon Realm regulations."
Old Gold Dragon turned his eyes to the pair of children who always gave him a headache, and said with a straight face, "I am too lazy to care about you two now."
"Now that your wings are strong, you can go wherever you like, as long as you don't stay here and disturb my sleep."
These words can be regarded as acquiescence in disguise.
At the same time, his disgust was palpable.
Red Iron Dragon thought for a moment, and then said to Orvis, "In order to thank you for your protection and care during this time, I specially prepared a gift."
After all, empty words of gratitude are not as expressive as real gifts.
Moreover, although Old Gold Dragon has made it clear that he will not get involved in national disputes, as long as this relationship is maintained, if Garos encounters a crisis that is difficult to solve in the future, he believes that the other party will not really stand idly by.
"Gift?"
Orvis was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then stared at his two heirs and sneered, "Haha, I have never received any decent gifts from my younger generation!"
Alberto smiled awkwardly and did not dare to answer.
Nasha puffed up his chest and retorted confidently, "Why not? Isn't Garos the "big gift" I found for you? Otherwise, could you have won a lot of money in the previous gambling game?"
Although this statement is somewhat quibbling and unreasonable, Old Gold Dragon thought about it and it seems to make some sense.
He reluctantly nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Then, he looked at Red Iron Dragon again, the expression on his face became happy, and he said with a smile, "I accept your kindness."
"But as for gifts, they are not necessary."
Seeing such a sensible Red Iron Dragon in front of him, Orvis couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Why is such a sensible dragon not my heir..."
At this moment.
This Legendary Realm Gold Dragon and a certain Silver Dragon who was sleeping in the Metal Dragon Realm had some strange resonance invisibly on the issue of Garos.
Old Gold Dragon's voice paused, and he teased Garos: "You have just stepped into the Legendary Realm not long ago, do you have any treasures worthy of my eyes?"
"It's better to keep it for yourself. Old Long, my vision has been spoiled by countless treasures."
"Ordinary things cannot enter my eyes."
Don't like it? Red Iron Dragon showed a meaningful smile.
Without further explanation, he directly took out the huge, simple Giant clan Legendary Realm battle ax [Earthshaker] from his space props, which exuded a heavy sense of oppression.
Buzz...
The moment the battle ax appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Seeing this Legendary Realm battle ax with a wild shape and profound runes engraved on it, Orvis's eyes suddenly straightened, and the golden pupils shrank instantly.
He couldn't wait to stretch out his front paws and picked up Earthshaker.
He held it in his paws and looked at it carefully with burning eyes.
Orvis is well-informed and has venomous eyes. In just a few glances, he could tell how extraordinary this battle ax was.
It is a real Legendary Equipment. Although it seems to be slightly damaged, the overall structure is intact and the core runes are not damaged. It is fully worthy of repair. Moreover, it is specially built for giant life forms. As long as we find a way to remove the rejection restriction on Dragonkin, it is also suitable for the use of powerful dragons.
What's more:
The runes engraved on it clearly indicate the identity of its caster.
Dragon Race's old enemy, Giant!
Legendary Equipment is extremely precious, but in the eyes of an old dragon like Orvis who loves to collect, a weapon from an old enemy race is much more valuable than other equipment of the same level.
"This rough texture, this heavy weight, what a good treasure."
Old Gold Dragon completely ignored the resistance from Earthshaker and fondled it repeatedly.
He rubbed the ax from the gleaming blade to the ax handle wrapped with anti-slip textures, raising and lowering its claws in an inelegant manner.
If there weren't other dragons watching nearby, he might not be able to help but move up and lick it.
"Where did you get this treasure?"
Orvis suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his head, looked at Red Iron Dragon with bright eyes, and asked curiously.
Garos answered calmly, "A Hill Giant king who was exiled from the Theresia Continent to Ser Wilderness held this battle ax named Earthshaker and became my enemy, causing me a little trouble."
"However, after that, it, along with the fate of Giant, all belong to me."
As he spoke, he swung the dragon's tail, rolled it up flexibly, and wrapped it around the middle of the ax handle of Earthshaker.
Then, he gently tugged... the battle ax did not move at all in Orvis's claws.
"Huh?"
Orvis is holding on to Earthshaker tightly, with no intention of letting go.
"Didn't you just say that you have a very high vision and can't look down on ordinary things?" Red Iron Dragon continued to tug hard, "I'm afraid this broken ax can't catch your eye."
"Why don't I wait until I get a better treasure in the future and then give it to you as a thank you gift."
Orvis heard this, not only did he not loosen his paw, but he held it tighter and said sternly, "Hey! You can't say that! Since you so sincerely want to give a gift to express your gratitude, as an elder, how can I have the heart to refuse?"
"That's it! I think it's very good, just the type I like!"
As he spoke, he suddenly focused his eyes, looked at the sea in the distance behind Red Iron Dragon, and let out a low cry:
"Hey! Look over there! It's Bronze Dragon King?! Why did he suddenly appear here?!"
"What? Bronze Dragon King?"
Red Iron Dragon and Alberto and Nasha next to them were all shocked when they heard this. They subconsciously turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction pointed by Orvis.
In the field of vision, there is only the quiet blue sky and the vast endless sea.
There is not a single extra cloud, let alone any Bronze Dragon King.
Just when Garos was distracted, Orvis's eyes flashed.
He took the opportunity to pull hard and "snatch" Earthshaker from Garos's tail. Then he moved smoothly and stuffed it into his own space prop in one go, as if he was afraid that if he was delayed for a second, the other party would regret it.
Red Iron Dragon turned around in confusion and asked, "Where is Bronze Dragon King? Why didn't I see it?"
At this time, Old Gold Dragon has regained his composure, reliability, and respectable demeanor.
He stroked the dragon's beard unhurriedly and said without changing his expression, "Oh... maybe it's because I'm dazzled. I'm older and my eyesight is not as good as that of young dragons like you."
Talking nonsense seriously.
Orvis was in a good mood, stretched out his paw, patted Red Iron Dragon's heavy and solid shoulder, and said with a smile, "Well, this gift is indeed good, you are thoughtful."
Red Iron Dragon looked at his satisfied look and felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't dig into it.
"As long as you like it, it officially belongs to you from now on."
He himself doesn't have a strong collecting habit.
Being able to trade a piece of Legendary Equipment, which cannot be used directly by oneself and carries troublesome restrictions, in exchange for the deeper friendship and support of an elder Gold Dragon. In Garos's view, this is a very cost-effective deal.
On the opposite side, Orvis paused for a moment after putting away his battle ax.
He looked at the majestic Red Iron Dragon in front of him, his tone became more serious, and he muttered, "Garos, after you establish the country, if you encounter any trouble that is difficult to solve, or need some advice... you can send a message to me at any time."
"I may not be able to directly help you solve your problem."
"However, I will try my best to give you some valuable suggestions based on my experience and connections, or provide other possible ways to solve the problem."
Red Iron Dragon grinned and agreed unceremoniously.
"Okay! If I encounter trouble in the future, I will definitely come to you for advice as soon as possible."
It is indeed necessary to give a generous gift that the other party loves.
To put it bluntly, Old Gold Dragon is not related to him. He was willing to vouch for and support him before, perhaps because he was optimistic about his potential, or perhaps based on justice. But if he always only knows how to take and does not know how to repay, this hard-won relationship will gradually fade away.
Only by doing what you like and giving benefits can you maintain your relationship for a long time.
"Strange... why do you feel like you're being manipulated?"
Old Gold Dragon rubbed the horny part of his chin and muttered to himself.
He was aware of Garos's "Dragon Taming Art".
Garos did not answer the topic, but instead reminded, "Elder Orvis, Earthshaker was created by Giant after all. There are internal restrictions against Dragonkin, and we cannot directly activate its full power."
"In addition to repairing its own damage, it will also take a lot of effort to transform it later."
Old Gold Dragon heard this and shook his head slightly in disapproval.
"What do you know?" He straightened his face and said, "These historical traces left by the battle, the unique prohibition methods engraved by the Giant clan... these are its true value, the stories and characteristics it carries! If these are removed and it is transformed beyond recognition, it will be inferior and lose its beauty as a collection."
"I will put it in my private collection room, and then... hehe, find a suitable time and invite a few other old guys to come over and appreciate it."
He accepted Earthshaker not for use in battle, but purely as a collection with show-off value, ready to be used to show off in the collecting circle.
Garos didn't quite understand this collector's mentality, but he respected it and didn't say anything more.
Now that Earthshaker has been given away, it has nothing to do with him whether Orvis uses it as a lumber ax to chop down trees, or puts it as a decoration to collect dust in the corner.
What he cares about is the potential value brought by this gift.
"Alberto, Nasha, let's get ready to go."
Garos no longer delayed, looked at the two Gold Dragon beside him who were already impatient, and said in a deep voice.
"I've been waiting for it for a long time!"
"Let's go! Back to the wilderness!"
The two responded enthusiastically, taking the lead in vibrating their wings, bringing up strong airflow, soaring into the sky, hovering in mid-air and waiting.
Orvis's dragon has a gentle smile on his face, looking at the dragons who are ready to go.
He finally said to Garos, "The road ahead is long, and the world outside the Dragon Realm is vast and complex."
"Remember your true heart, stick to your path, and remember, no matter what the future holds, Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm will always be one of your trustworthy friends."
Garos nodded and said, "I understand, I will keep it in mind."
There is no need to say too many words of farewell.
Garos took one last look at the island that had held him for several years, glanced at the Legendary Realm Gold Dragon in front of him, then raised his majestic head and faced the vast sky, letting out a long and powerful dragon roar.
Phew!
He stretched his wings, rolled up strong airflow, and the black and red dragon body rose into the sky, soaring in the direction of the Atlant Continent, followed closely by Alberto and Nasha.
A new journey has begun.
Molten Iron King is about to come to his most loyal wilderness country.
