Chapter 0008: The Misfortunate Dragon Couple
Muria glanced down at the shocked and flustered dragonborn head maid, then noticed the head maid's small face turning slightly red as she lowered her head, helplessly saying: "You also think that my mother’s actions are quite unreasonable, don’t you"
A low, rumbling dragon roar echoed behind Muriya as he stepped into the corridor leading away from the castle hall, clearly indicating that a red dragon had awakened
Powerful? Muria cast a sidelong glance at the red dragon, which was bound like a dead dog, expressing her disdain without reservation, "Heh!"
Wherever the red dragon's gaze fell, there were various crystals shimmering with the enchanting eyes of the dragon. The abundant magical energy within the crystals informed it that these were not ordinary crystals that were merely pleasing to the eye, but rather valuable magical crystals.
Where exactly is this place? The anxious red dragon posed another question, although it had already roughly guessed the answer
Then, the red dragon anxiously looked around, its nostrils constantly flaring. It soon discovered a fact that filled the dragon with despair: within this dazzling crystal structure, there was an overwhelming presence that would be etched in its memory for a lifetime.
After standing still and expressing her amazement, Mureya took the lead in picking up a red dragon egg, and then Sophia and the other maids also consciously picked up a red dragon egg each
After Muriya imagined the worst possible outcome, he felt no more concern, as it was not something he needed to worry about anyway
Ah! Upon hearing Mureya's words, Head Maid Sophia could not help but let out a delicate cry filled with astonishment
Then it can only be left like this, to be dealt with once Lord Atreus awakens
Strangely, Muriya recalled a saying: the most terrifying thing is not a genius, but a genius who works harder than you
"Um, where is Master Atreus?" Until now, the head maid had just remembered that she had not seen her master at all.
"No." Hearing Muriya's words, the head maid firmly retorted, "Lord Atris is a legendary mage; she must have her reasons for doing this. It is just that we do not understand them."
"What kind of creature are you, a half-dragon? No, that can't be right; there are no half-dragons like you, with such a large physique yet still in an infantile form." The red dragon pondered seriously for a moment, then flared its nostrils a few times, catching a very familiar scent.
This unforgettable aura made the red dragon swear that he would never forget it in this lifetime. Thus, this giant dragon with crimson scales instinctively recoiled and lowly roared in Draconic towards Muria: "What is your relationship with the Golden Radiant Ateris?"
"My mother, the castle of Atreus," Murea said with a mocking expression
Hmph! The red dragon, upon hearing Muriya's mockery, turned its head to the side and closed its eyes, no longer looking at him
Good treasure. Muriya looked enviously at the golden chains on the golden dragon, everything that had just happened indicated that this chain possessed a certain spirituality and had developed a degree of autonomy, which reminded him of some similar artifacts from legends of his past life. Unfortunately, he could only admire it.
At the same time, Muria also understood why Sophia was so steadfast in her admiration for his mother. Although his Golden Dragon mother possessed a noble lineage, she did not behave like ordinary dragons who slept all day, waiting for their strength to grow. Instead, she was diligent and eager to learn, studying spells and achieving many accomplishments that even ancient dragons had not attained, making her a legendary spellcaster
This is the lair of the Golden Sun! The red dragon looked utterly incredulous; in its view, such a luxurious lair could only be worthy of a dragon god. Even though Atris, this ancient gold dragon, possessed extraordinary strength, it should not reside in such a lair
Hearing this voice, which had a slight magnetism, it was clearly a question from a female dragon. Mureya smiled, revealing her white teeth: "Your children? No, they belong to me now."
"I can't move at all." After taking a few steps back, Muria discovered that the binding power of this golden chain was extraordinarily formidable, preventing the red dragon from making any unnecessary movements except for speaking
The Golden Dragon Lady is an adult ancestral Golden Dragon, with a body length of nearly one hundred meters. Just in terms of physical stature, it is absolutely legendary. Coupled with the spellcasting ability of a legendary mage, the combination is astonishing! This is truly not an ordinary level of abnormality! Muraya calculated seriously in her mind and then gasped in shock.
Roar! Roar! Roar! As expected by Mureya, the first to awaken was a relatively large red dragon, measuring approximately thirty-seven meters in length. This red dragon first sensed the restraints on its body, then struggled vigorously a few times, but to no avail; the golden chains remained firmly bound around it. In the end, it could only emit a few angry roars.
Hehe! Mureya glanced down, and saw that each of the five maids, Sofia and the others, who were all above average in both figure and appearance, was holding a red dragon egg that was as tall as they were, creating an inexplicable sense of humor.
However, how could it be possible for there to be so many magical crystals? It is as if all the magical crystals in the world have been amassed before it
The worst-case scenario is that the two red dragons, who have been in a state of coma, awaken, break free from their chains, cause a commotion in the castle, and ultimately rouse the golden dragon mother, who will once again suppress them mercilessly
Thus, Mureya returned to the hall. Having grown accustomed to the exaggerated size of the Golden Dragon Lady, he truly looked down upon the Red Dragon's mere thirty-meter-long "dwarf" stature. No matter how fierce and menacing its appearance was, it was still captured and brought back by the Golden Dragon Lady, bound hand and foot. Therefore, Mureya was not intimidated at all
"Who are you?" Upon hearing Muria's words, the red dragon was momentarily taken aback, then immediately confirmed the fact that it was still alive, and then looked up at the super giant infant before it who was speaking the dragon language
"Qi, you are still alive, how can you go to that deformed old mother dragon's divine realm?" Upon hearing the red dragon's murmuring, Mureya mercilessly mocked, fully expressing her disdain for the mother of evil dragons
The dragon-blooded maidens in the castle, although their appearance is very similar to that of humans, differ significantly from ordinary humans. They have all been infused with the essence of the golden dragon, resulting in a transcendence of their life level. Beneath their seemingly delicate exterior lies an astonishing strength, allowing them to effortlessly perform various tasks that would be considered extremely heavy and laborious in the eyes of human strongmen
"There is no mistake, young Master Mureya. You may not be aware, but setting aside Lord Atreus's identity as a golden dragon, in terms of pure spellcasting ability, Lord Atreus can completely rival legendary mages," Sophia explained very seriously.
Then, the red dragon, which had been trying to break free from its restraints, became motionless as it realized the environment it was in. Its gaze blankly surveyed everything around it, and it opened and closed its mouth several times, yet not a sound escaped.
Are you sure? Muriya was somewhat unsettled; after all, this was the red dragon, the leader of the evil dragons. Could it really be left so casually? Who knows when his golden dragon lady will awaken? It is important to understand that the perception of time for dragons and humans is completely different. Who knows how long the golden dragon lady will sleep for?
Ah, that's right, just as you imagined, these six are all red dragon eggs. Muria said with a look of melancholy, "They are a gift from my mother, and now they all belong to me"
Just as Mureya was preparing to take the six red dragon eggs back to his room with the maid, he noticed the two red dragons that he had neglected for a long time
"Even if you are a scion of Ateris, you cannot humiliate a powerful red dragon in such a manner," the red dragon, realizing that there was little it could do, said angrily in Draconic.
The maid Sophia nodded slightly, and thus Muria could only helplessly glance at the golden chains on the red dragons, preparing to leave with the maids. For now, he could only pray that these chains were strong enough to firmly bind the two red dragons; otherwise, well, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Roar! Being kicked fiercely by a young golden dragon in its whelping stage, this humiliation was unbearable for the proud red dragon. Thus, this fierce evil dragon began to struggle with all its might, and with the movements of the red dragon.
With a loud clatter, one end of the golden chain, bound to the load-bearing pillar in the hall, began to shine brilliantly, automatically contracting and firmly restraining the body of the red dragon. This left the red dragon's movements meaningless, except for startling Muria.
"What are you going to do with my child?" At an unknown time, a slightly smaller red dragon awoke, and the first thing it saw was the egg being cradled by Mureya and the other maids.
Muria fell silent; he realized that the strength of the Golden Dragon Lady was far beyond his expectations, and could not simply be summarized as that of a legendary golden dragon.
How should we deal with these two red dragons?" Muria raised her chin towards the position of the red dragons and asked Sophia, "Are we just going to leave them like this?
"Is this the divine realm of Tiamat, the great mother of evil dragons?" Upon encountering something that surpassed the understanding of the red dragon, the evil dragon could only associate it with the mother of evil dragons, whom it had prayed to very few times.
After the shock, Mureya was overjoyed, for this was his natural support. With a mother possessing such extraordinary strength, there should be very few in Elasia who would dare to provoke him.
"I'm going to sleep," Muria said irritably
"Young Master Muriya, what are these?" Sophia looked uncertainly at the red dragon egg on the ground
What truly concerns Mureya are the four words spoken by Sophia: "Legendary Mage? Sophia, are you sure you didn't leave out a word? It should be Legendary Dragon Mage!"
However, Muria did not mind Sophia's attitude, as it was quite normal for a maid who held the top position in the Crystal Castle's internal affairs to ensure her loyalty. Nothing reassures a dragon more than a devoted fan who worships him madly.
Muria looked at the blonde maid in astonishment; it was evident that Sophia had already been captivated by the charm of the Golden Dragon Lady, having become an ardent admirer, fervently worshipping her
"You old bastard." Mureya heard the words of the red dragon, lifted her short legs, and kicked the fierce dragon head of the red dragon without any regard for the dignity of this evil dragon. "This is a castle, a castle. Do you have a problem with your ears and didn't hear clearly, or is there something wrong with your brain"
