Chapter 0005: Titan Sea Region
Indeed, many dragons enjoy having a number of servants, regardless of whether they are good dragons or evil dragons. Taking evil dragons as an example, many chromatic dragons are indiscriminate in their tastes, accepting almost anything as long as it pledges allegiance to them, including infamous weaklings such as goblins, kobolds, and gremlins.
But I still don't understand why those monsters get so excited when they see me
You not only possess the bloodline of the Titans, but also that of the Golden Dragon. Moreover, the great dragons have a strong inclination to subjugate certain servants to guard themselves, so..." Sophia paused, having said enough at this point, there was no need to elaborate further
Upon hearing this, Mureya's lips twitched, unsure of what to say. Although he had a rough understanding of the situation in his heart, he still refrained from interrupting, allowing Sophia to continue her narrative.
He can tell that Sophia's identity is very special and that she holds a high status in this castle; otherwise, she would not be responsible for taking care of him
Huh?" Muriya looked completely bewildered
Perhaps it was because of the castle's excellent soundproofing that the cheers, which should have resonated through the skies, became barely audible by the time they reached Mureya's ears, making him feel as if he were watching a silent play
This terrifying influence has left Sophia somewhat incredulous even now, yet the reality is as such. Even for the legendary Golden Dragon, the number of giant guardians is far beyond the standard by an unknown multiple.
How would I know? Muria's lips curled slightly. Whether it was the racial heritage of the Golden Dragon or that of the Titans, he had only accepted the initial part. He had a general understanding of the world of Elasia.
"Young Master Muria, do you know what this sea we are in is called?" Sofia did not answer Muria's question, but instead turned the question back to him.
There is no need; you only need to stand here and prove your existence to them, which is the greatest encouragement for them
Upon returning to his room in the castle, Mureya turned to look at Sofia, who had followed him. The myriad of questions in his mind could find answers from this blonde dragonborn maid standing before him.
However, at present, there are more than 1,600 cloud giants guarding the castle, and the number of storm giants is also approaching 100, with their numbers continuing to increase. It can be anticipated that in the future, the number of cloud giants and storm giants coming here will grow ever larger, all due to your presence
Muria is truly confused now; even though he is the son of the Titan and the Golden Dragon, this scene is just too exaggerated
"Fifteen years ago, at that time, I was probably still an egg!" Muria said with a smile as she listened to Sophia's words
When Lord Atreus Alonsas established the Crystal Castle, he did not intend to build it to such a grand scale, nor did he plan to use magical crystals for its construction. However, upon his arrival here, countless ocean tribes presented a variety of treasures mined from the seabed, among which the quantity of magical crystals was the most abundant
Yet even without hearing the sounds, Muria could sense the excitement of those monsters. They danced and shouted hoarsely, their blood vessels bulging like earthworms, expressing their exhilaration.
What is going on
"Young Master Muria, is it time to go down?" Sofia, who had unknowingly arrived behind Muria, said softly
Indeed, at that time, your existence had not yet been confirmed, but merely the rumors had already caused quite a significant impact. Recalling the situation back then, a smile appeared on Sophia's exquisite face
Initially, there were only a little over thirty cloud giants guarding the castle, and there were only five storm giants. Sofia looked up at the chubby giant infant before her
"Because, in the future, you are very likely to receive their loyalty," Sophia said with a rather peculiar expression
Whether it is the Golden Dragon or the Titan, although both are rare and powerful creatures, they are not particularly difficult to encounter. Is that so?
Mu Ruya nodded, seemingly understanding some of it, but there were still some points he did not grasp. He gestured for Sophia to continue speaking.
Not long after, Muria heard faint cheers coming from outside the castle. He stepped out of his room and walked into the corridor. Through the transparent crystals in the corridor, he looked down and saw monsters all over the mountains, rejoicing and celebrating.
Murray certainly knew the reason behind all of this. He looked down at his feet, outside the castle, where Sofia, the head maid who had just left his room, was now standing next to a cloud giant that stood fifteen meters tall, its muscles bulging.
Muria sat down on a crystal bed carved from a bright red fire element crystal, stroking his chin in contemplation. Even before he was born, so many powerful beings voluntarily came to be his subordinates; just thinking about it made him feel completely at ease
Therefore, he raised his head, and a hint of a smile appeared on his chubby face: "Why refuse? Of course, I choose to accept!"
"The Titans rejected them." A very strange expression appeared on Mureya's face, "So how can they be so certain that I, who possess the bloodline of the Titans, would accept their loyalty?"
In the Storm of Thunder, countless oceanic tribes wish to pledge their loyalty to the Titans, eager to follow them and willingly become their servants. However..." At this point, Sophia displayed a hint of helplessness, "the Titans do not accept their allegiance at all, as they consider it a meaningless endeavor.
This outburst of excitement spread rapidly like an infectious disease, sweeping across the entire island. Subsequently, the waters surrounding the island began to boil, and various marine creatures such as nagas, mermaids, tidal giants, and sea beasts surged once more to the surface, calling out in a scene of extraordinary grandeur.
At that time, Lord Atreus was astonished by the mountain of magical crystals and various treasures, and that expression is something I will never forget in my lifetime. " At this point, the head maid covered her mouth and chuckled, "Thus, Lord Atreus came up with the idea of building a castle using magical crystals.
From the edge of the castle to the edge of the island, there were monsters everywhere, densely packed, a dark mass upon mass, continuously shouting his name, paying him the highest respect
Why are there so many monsters cheering for him
So this is how my mother's castle was built. That being said, I can claim that I am responsible for at least half of the construction of the Crystal Castle. I own at least half of this castle," the young Mureya thought naively.
Alright! Mureya reluctantly stepped down from the observation platform. The feeling of being cheered and excited by numerous monsters was quite wonderful. Although he was slightly taken aback at first, his nerves were now incredibly robust, allowing him to easily accept such a grand scene with composure
Understanding her position, Mureya suddenly realized some things, such as why the Golden Dragon Lady chose to build her castle on the edge of the archipelago rather than in the center. This is because this area is the territory of the Titans; if it were not for her Titan father, the Golden Dragon Lady might not have dared to come here
Just now on the rooftop, Muriya, who was in close proximity to hundreds of cloud giants bowing down, felt somewhat enamored by this sensation
Thunderstorm Ocean
Murray does not even know where he is located, so how could he possibly know the name of the sea area he is in
Uh, should we just go down like this, without saying anything?" Muriya raised his chubby little hand and scratched his head
In this description of knowledge, Mureya observed a powerful ancient gold dragon, qualified to alter the heritage of the golden dragon race, who harbored a deep apprehension towards the Stormy Sea, and regarded the core of the Stormy Sea, the Titan Islands, as a forbidden place.
"Sophia, the dragonborn who has been infused with the essence of the True Dragon!" Muria murmured the name of the head maid who had cared for him for five years, before turning back to the room
Indeed, this is the sea area belonging to your father, Anseor Iapetos, of the Titan race. This ocean was named after the power wielded by the Titans. It is said that before the Titans occupied this ocean, it had another name, but almost no one remembers it. The archipelago we are in is called ... ... .
Titan Islands. Before Sophia could finish speaking, Muria interjected. In the legacy of the Golden Dragon, there is an introduction to this ocean. The ancient Golden Dragon, which left knowledge about the Thunderstorm Ocean, evaluated this ocean as follows: "Unless absolutely necessary, do not step into this sea, for the consequences of doing so are difficult to predict"
Upon hearing Sophia's question, Muria furrowed his brows. Like a titan akin to his father, he cleanly and decisively refused, which was somewhat difficult to part with upon reflection
"Young Master Muriya, do you intend to refuse or accept?"
However, fifteen years ago, we followed Lord Atreus Elonsas to the Titan Islands, and for the first time, the creatures of the Stormy Sea heard of your existence, the Titan and the Son of Dragons. Consequently, many creatures came upon hearing the news, wishing to follow you and offer their loyalty
Elarasia is a vast world, with its main body being the Elarasia mainland, which shares its name with the world itself. Surrounding the mainland are twelve subcontinents of varying sizes, encircling the mainland in the center. The thirteen continents are separated by oceans that are fragmented and scattered, equivalent in area to the land.
"Thunderstorm Ocean?" Muriya exclaimed, as his knowledge inherited from the Golden Dragon included information about the Thunderstorm Ocean, one of the nine great oceans of this world.
Sophia nodded, her face breaking into a radiant smile, and then she walked out of the room
"Young Master Muria," the blonde maid sighed, "you must understand that for the creatures living in this ocean, the Titans are the supreme rulers here. Although the Titans themselves do not care about this, it does not change their identity as rulers."
As Mureya departed, the monsters' cheers gradually subsided. Subsequently, filled with excitement, the monsters began to discuss among themselves and gradually left, returning to their original positions.
