Beneath the Red Dragon

This is the journey every Giant Dragon in the Dragon Group must experience, only through firsthand involvement will they truly understand how to govern a kingdom, rather than making unrealistic demands and policies from the top.

The purpose of the White Dragon Gomot’s journey isn’t too far from Dragon Nest, located on the land beneath the Giant Dragon’s Nest. Although currently, the most prosperous area in Dragon Group Territory is the City of the Golden Coast, inevitably, the land beneath the Giant Dragon’s Nest will eventually become the main central city of the Dragon Group Territory.

This will be the political power center in the future, perhaps also the economic center of the Giant Dragon Kingdom, since this place will host the most expansive, tallest city, with convenient land and waterway transportation, and a superior geographical location.

This is not redirected by the will of the Giant Dragon, unless the Giant Dragon changes its nest, otherwise the vast land beneath the Giant Dragon will sooner or later transform into a central city.

Rather than letting the city grow wild and evolve freely, it might be better to incorporate it into the plan from the beginning, guiding the establishment and development of the city.

The work of Red Copper Dragon Alfred will also be significant in the future. However, since Dragon Group Territory currently lacks talent in this area, Alfred has to start from scratch by himself. Karon has a series of plans awaiting Alfred’s efforts.

The red Giant Dragon looked towards another peak, where Ogre Slaves and the Giant Demon slaves, captured during the Jackal-Wolf Man’s continuous raids, were working day and night to expand the Giant Dragon’s castle.

Those massive Dragon Beasts leisurely climbed the mountain, carrying stone blocks quarried from the stony ground. With the help of these large creatures capable of transporting stone material, the castle’s construction speed has greatly increased, perhaps by the end of winter, the continuously built castle will be completed and will welcome its owner.

”My basic foundation is too weak, as the leader of the Dragon Group, I don’t even have a proper place to meet others. I can’t always meet people on this barren mountain top—that’s too crude. Once the Dragon Castle is completed, there won’t be such awkward and basic circumstances,” the Red Dragon said, turning and flying towards its nest.

Karon didn’t plunge into his beloved warm magma bath but instead entered his Treasure Vault Cave. Now, around the rim of Karon’s nest volcano and the Treasure Vault Cave, a dense circle of plants had grown.

These are all magical plants like Dragon Saliva Grass and Dragon-blood Red Flame Grass, born from the Red Dragon’s realm radiation and bloodline power.

These magical plants flourish around the volcano nest, occasionally, beneath their stems and leaves, Karon would find a type of black-shelled insect, as thick as an ordinary person’s little finger.

This animal feeds on the juice of these plants and the small worms mixed within the volcanic ash, and its excrement further promotes the growth of these magical plants.

Under the prolonged influence of the Red Dragon, the Red Dragon’s nest is transforming into a miniature ecosystem, even the Red Dragon couldn’t foresee how the environment will evolve in the future.

This is the natural change of the world, filled with unknown and magical features, but Karon feels that observing these changes might provide insights into a corner of the world’s reality, hence he decided not to harvest these externally rare magical plants, letting them grow freely and evolve.

The vault now is considered rich in collections, various types of Golden Gem, Magic Crystal, and Elemental Crystal, as well as many miraculous ores and products emerged from magma flows deep within the earth, some of them lacking knowledge even in the Giant Dragon’s heritage.

But the Giant Dragon’s treasure-appraising talent let Karon recognize that these all are valuable items, thus were collected by the Red Dragon in its vault. In the Red Dragon’s vault, gold is considered the lowest value item, a basic unit to estimate the value.

Sometimes Karon looks at his vault and even considers dividing it into different sections; items like gold, which is of ’low value,’ shouldn’t be mixed with other higher-value collections, he believes he is a Dragon of considerable taste.

Two enormous snake eggs, nearly half-human in height, with shells of the deepest night-like richness, were expelled from Karon’s storage stomach, placed in the corner with some old scales shed by the Red Dragon.

These are two snake eggs brought back by Karon from the Titan Python Cave, in this treasure-filled vault, it is believed these eggs shouldn’t suffer malnutrition.

The old scales shed by the Red Dragon have the scent and aura of the Red Dragon, allowing the unborn beings within these eggs to familiarize themselves with their owner prematurely, as well as providing protection.

As the dimensional pressure enveloping the Red Dragon’s entire nest grows increasingly daunting, now even the young dragon Kleyna is reluctant to come here for magma baths. Without the protective aura of the Red Dragon, these snake eggs might turn into dead eggs.

Karon expelled treasures collected from Chimera Cave and Titan Python Cave, casually piling them in a corner. The Giant Dragon’s storage stomach isn’t large, and now Karon’s storage stomach holds only a few High-level Mithril and some Essence Divine Iron excavated from the depths of the earth’s core.
