Chapter 28: Visit

On September 5th, 1138 of the Red Moon Calendar, Emperor Gruen of the Luo Sen Empire held a grand meeting in Skull-Crushing City. The meeting invited all forces of the Red Moon plane to discuss the scope of influence and resource allocation. All parties at the meeting agreed that maintaining the stability of the Luo Sen Empire was the unshirkable responsibility of all parties.

Lady Redna pointed out at the meeting that within the plane, some minions of demons were still hiding in corners, and we should unite to clear out these existences that endanger the safety of the plane, which was widely recognized by everyone.

Grand Duke Wendisha emphasized that the plane belongs to all of us, and no one has any right to expand their territory privately, let alone tolerate those forces from the Underworld who are doing evil on the surface.

Finally, all parties at the meeting swore allegiance to His Majesty Gruen, always insisted on advancing and retreating with the Luo Sen Empire, and resolutely maintained the legal ruling rights of the Obsidian family in the Red Moon plane.

The above content comes from the account of a meeting member who did not wish to be named.

With the convening of this meeting, the situation in the Red Moon plane has stabilized again. As vested interests, all forces are unwilling to have new forces enter.

The ambitious leader of the Duofeng Republic, Rodman, had been actively preparing for decades, but in the end, it was all for nothing, and Wendisha, who had been in exile for many years, became the biggest beneficiary.

Originally, this meeting was to be held at the beginning of the year, because the army of the Duofeng Republic had already reached the Loka Plain, and the Luo Sen Empire had to stabilize the entire plane immediately. Sakavi, who had not yet built Agrik, said he would not go anywhere before completion.

Seeing the current situation of the Red Moon plane, Sakavi immediately sighed: "Sure enough, choice is greater than effort! I kill, set fire, and rob, and fight to the death with people many times, all I wanted was a legal identity certificate. Others just chose the right time to intervene and got the same status and territory as me."

After the meeting, Sakavi said he wanted to visit the Modus Principality, and Prince Puglin immediately expressed a warm welcome. With the comprehensive retreat of the orc forces, no orcs could be seen on the entire Rodemelian Continent. The Modus Principality seemed particularly empty, with large tracts of farmland abandoned and remote towns occupied by various bandits.

"This is the Silver Dragon Odnia, a Legendary Ice Mage, my capable assistant, and a knowledgeable professor. The Brass Dragon next to her is called Gamos, an excellent strategist, warrior, and a Wind Speaker. Oh, look at my terrible memory, I almost forgot to introduce my son, Kobrix, a thief who likes to play tricks."

"He is about the same age as you, forty-five years old this year. You young people should have a lot to talk about. He went to the temple of the Platinum Dragon God and will be back in a while. As soon as he returns, I will have him visit you."

"Luo De Puglin, I want to know the current pattern of the Rodemelian Continent. Can you explain it to me in detail?"

"Of course, but you can just call me uncle, don't be so formal. Currently, besides our Modus Principality, there are three other Grand Duke territories on the entire continent. You should know that monster Last, so I won't introduce him much. The rest is the Bronze Dragon Grand Duke Grovelian, who is a Great Druid."

"The remaining Grand Duke is the Red Dragon Fidmina, a Legendary Dragon who just broke through last year. It is said that she was a hegemon in the Underworld."

"The remaining three chromatic dragons only have Master Rank strength: the White Dragon Mosolon, the Green Dragon Kedorlin, and the Blue Dragon Fendigoss. The White Dragon's territory is on the Mandakavi Islands in the Endless Sea. He calls himself the King of the Near Seas, but he cannot threaten us."

"I don't worry about other dragons, only this Fidmina is an unstable factor. She was famous for being combative when she was in the Underworld. I worry that she will destroy the hard-won balance. She is not like Wendisha, who was hunted down everywhere and was on the wanted list of the Justice Society, knowing how important a hard-won legal status is."

"I don't think Fidmina is that stupid. Bringing the army of the Duofeng Republic will do her no good."

"I hope so! If you have other dragon friends you know, you can call them over to play. I like liveliness, the Astral Plane is too boring."

"Can Dragon Beasts be brought?"

"Sakavi, you must know that we are noble dragons. How can you lower your status and associate with those deformed beasts?"

"You are right, dragons are one of the oldest and most powerful creatures in the world, and even the history of the elves pales in comparison to us. But the era of dragons is gone forever. We once lost to the coalition of elves and gnomes, and now the elves have to make concessions to humans and orcs."

"History is a ruthless carriage. It doesn't care who is driving, and it doesn't care who falls off because of the bumpy road conditions. Nowadays, gnomes can only hide in the Underworld to survive, and dwarves have to retreat to the nests deep in the mountains, slowly moving toward decline. It is time for us dragons to put down our arrogant and conceited traditions and bravely accept reality."

That's right, dwarves once lived on the ground. At that time, they were not called dwarves, but gnomes. They once joined forces with elves to expel the dragons and titans who were the hegemons of the surface.

Later, in the competition, the gnomes who chose to develop machinery lost to the elves who chose to develop magic. The technology of the gnomes was destroyed, and the remaining gnomes either hid in the mountains and developed into dwarves, or retreated to the Underworld and insisted on their scientific concepts and technology.

It is said that in some places where gnome forces are relatively strong, there are still war weapons such as propeller planes, but even the most powerful weapons cannot escape the dependence on energy. This directly restricts the development of gnomes.

"Sakavi, you are right. We can no longer insist on that ridiculous nobility. It's just that I am over three hundred years old. Although this is nothing for a demigod, I can no longer change my cognition."

"It doesn't matter. If you know where there are Dragon Beasts in the future, just send them to me. I will take them all. And besides full reimbursement of transportation costs, I will give three hundred gold coins for each one. But they must be alive. If they are dead, whether they died on the road or before coming, I will not pay a single gold coin."

"Sakavi, you remind me of a friend of mine. He was a Golden Dragon who hated evil as much as he hated his own life, and he also collected a large number of deformed Dragon Beasts. Even without dragon inheritance, the obsession with looting engraved in the souls of chromatic dragons will not change."

"Because the chromatic dragons he adopted not only looted everywhere themselves but also corrupted other metallic dragons and gemstone dragons. Looking at those endless treasures, other dragons finally couldn't resist the temptation and took that step."

"This friend eventually had to give up adopting Dragon Beasts under internal and external pressure. Nothing changed, but this Golden Dragon ended up in ruin and lost both his reputation and wealth. I know you don't care about reputation, but you must also be careful. Dragon Beasts are not so easy to adopt."

"Thank you very much for your advice. The road is chosen by oneself. Since I think there is no mistake, I should go on. If I want to go further than my peers, I must take a road different from my peers, no matter how difficult it is."

"Well said, young people are full of energy. When I was young, my friends also wanted to take different roads. We fought together in the Blood War Abyss, made a big scene in the Bator Underworld, and even dared to compete with the Peroda Dynasty. Later, seeing friends fall in front of me one by one, I was scared and chose to quit."

"I heard that they eventually broke through the shackles of the gods and became members of the Pantheon. But do you know that the Dragon Brotherhood successively accepted more than three thousand dragons, and only two became gods."

"My tail was cut off by the Elf Prince of the Peroda Dynasty. At that time, there were more than a thousand companions, and more than six hundred died on the spot, just to kill the third prince of Peroda, the Divine Rank Sword Saint Roderspell."

"Then uncle, is the Dragon Brotherhood still there? I want to visit."

"It's gone, it's been gone for more than a hundred years. After we killed the third prince of Peroda, I was scared and chose to quit. Later, I heard that Emperor Fenodokos of Peroda ordered the killing of all members of the Dragon Brotherhood to avenge his son. Except for the two who became gods, there were less than five members who were injured and retired early."

"Emperor Fenodokos personally led the army to surround the Eternal Hall of the Platinum Dragon God. Later, the main god of the Justice Society, Norodo, came to persuade them to make peace."

"Emperor Fenodokos agreed to withdraw the army, on the condition that the Dragon Brotherhood be disbanded and no longer enter the temple to seek shelter. Dragons without shelter were no match for elves and were quickly slaughtered. At that time, I retired early and could live in the temple, so I escaped a disaster."

"Sakavi, I know you won't be scared away by this story. I just want to tell you that the road to becoming a god is destined to be full of blood and corpses. All the subordinates who follow you will not have a good end. You must be prepared."

"Okay, uncle, I have remembered your advice, and I have also remembered that we dragons can really break the shackles and become the weavers of fate."

"Hahahahaha! Young people are full of confidence, not bad, not bad, I like people like this."

After staying in Modus for a week, Sakavi decided to visit the two dragon Grand Dukes. The enthusiasm of the Bronze Dragon did not surprise Sakavi, and the two sides signed a series of documents such as trade agreements and mutual defense alliance contracts on the spot.

After a friendly exchange, Sakavi came to Fidmina's territory to visit this bandit who had accepted the imperial decree.

To Sakavi's surprise, this bandit was unusually enthusiastic, asking about his well-being and inviting him to dinner, which made Sakavi extremely confused. When talking about the attitude toward the current Red Moon plane, the Grand Duke said that as long as money can be made, there is no difference whether it is robbed or not.

This Red Dragon looked much more rational than he imagined, but she was an adult dragon of 76 years old, and her mind was indeed much more mature, no longer like a young man who would fight if he didn't agree. Moreover, the army of the Duofeng Republic had only withdrawn last month, and Fidmina did not want them to come back.

After finishing the business, Fidmina said she wanted to talk about private matters. For any female dragon, she hopes that her offspring will be more powerful. Therefore, she set her sights on the Black Dragon Mage who broke through to the Legendary Rank before adulthood. However, she also said that she would not borrow the seed for nothing, and would give Sakavi her collection of necromantic formation books for free.

People have already said so, if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid they will fight on the spot. Sakavi had to excuse himself that he was only twenty-five years old this year and would only be an adult next year. The Red Dragon was very generous and said it was no problem, and said that the formation books could be taken back directly, she was not that stingy.

When talking about Dragon Beasts that could be sent to her directly, she said, how can friends talk about money? She was not poor enough to lack those few gold coins, if there were any, just send them over, no money needed.

When talking about the issue of chromatic dragons being able to hybridize, Tiamat said she had expected it long ago. When she created the chromatic dragons, she designed the rule that the mother's color is the same as the offspring's color. This is only the situation within the chromatic dragons. As for other types of dragons, there is reproductive isolation between them. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
