Chapter 0004: The Monsters Guarding the Castle

Certainly, Muria's attention was not on this island, although the island was large and the surrounding circular mountains of the castle were magnificent and imposing, none of this could capture Muria's gaze

"Young Master Muria, please stand over there. They have been eagerly anticipating your arrival for a long time. Please go and accept their homage!" Sophia, living up to Muria's expectations, pointed to a location once again

Of course

Muria is currently on a platform of the crystal castle built by his mother, which is located in the middle of a large island surrounded by mountains. However, this does not obstruct Muria's line of sight, as the height of the mountains is far below his current position, with the mountains beneath his feet.

Standing high allows one to see far; Mu Ruya also spotted more islands. The island chosen by the Golden Dragon Lady for building the castle is not a solitary island, but one of the archipelago. However, the location is somewhat peculiar, as the island selected by the Golden Dragon Lady is not situated in the middle of the archipelago, but rather on the edge of it

This is the reason for the monsters guarding the castle to cheer from the bottom of their hearts

So many? Muria was astonished

After viewing this "Gundam," Muria followed Sophia with deep thoughts as they continued to tour the Crystal Castle

Cloud Giant, Storm Giant, Hill Giant, Tide Giant, Bipedal Dragon, Griffin, Ferocious Eagle, Ferocious Lion, Ferocious Tiger... a variety of ferocious beasts, Naga, Mermaid...

Through the expression of the head maid and her understanding of the habits of the Titans and Dragons, Muria felt she had guessed everything that had happened at that time

A sound akin to thunder erupted from the mouth of the kneeling cloud giant, filled with fervor and imbued with boundless admiration and reverence

In the eyes of many monsters that could clearly see that figure, its appearance was not imposing; the chubby, baby-like physique exuded no sense of authority.

His attention was entirely focused on what Sophia had said about the creatures guarding the Crystal Castle

Murya Iapetos Elonsas

Murray felt that his legs seemed to be trembling slightly, but fortunately, the silk pajamas he wore covered his body completely, and no one knew whether his legs were actually shaking or not

... ...

Thus, the Cloud Giant confirmed the identity of Mureya, and his expression changed once again, revealing unreserved excitement and admiration.

Such a magnificent and refreshing sea view only caught Muria's attention for a moment before he shifted his gaze, as there were more captivating matters beside him.

When Muriya looked up at the cloud giant, the giant also noticed Muriya. This enormous creature, whose intelligence was no less than that of a human, was initially taken aback, and then its gaze focused on the golden dragon wings behind Muriya

Above the Crystal Castle, Mureya's expression had completely frozen; he truly did not expect that his appearance would cause such a great commotion

Do you Dragonborn engage in anything else? Such as guarding or fighting?

"Sophia, how many dragonborn servants are there in the castle?" Muria asked curiously

Murray gazed into the distance and beheld the vast expanse of the azure ocean, an endless stretch of sea that extended infinitely until it intertwined with the blue sky and white clouds, indistinguishable from one another

Murya Iapetos Alonsas

The castle is too large, requiring so many hands

Refer to His Highness Murea Iapetos Alonsas

But just as his smile appeared on his face, it quickly transformed into a look of shock, for the cloud giant before him, like pushing over a mountain of gold and toppling a jade pillar, set down his scepter, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head deeply, allowing Muria to see the back of his head.

Thus, this large creature, sensing the faint pressure emanating from the pair of dragon wings and Muria, vaguely guessed his identity, yet remained uncertain, and its expression appeared somewhat suspicious and indecisive

There are a total of 1,856 dragonborn servants" Sophia replied without hesitation

As they followed Sophia on the tour of the castle, they occasionally encountered dragonborn servants with golden scales on their faces. Upon seeing Mureya and Sophia pass by, they would stand respectfully to the side after a moment of surprise and greet the two.

Upon hearing the affirmative response, Muria, filled with anticipation, stepped onto the stairs of the crystal castle, which was resplendent and magnificent, and of an extraordinarily grand scale. What kind of beings could possibly guard such a place

What kind of organism

However, it is precisely this appearance that has led many of the revealed monsters to cheer enthusiastically. They do so sincerely, for the figure's visage represents a perfect inheritance of the noble bloodlines of Titans and Dragons, just as they had hoped.

A cloud giant with skin tones ranging from milky white to sky blue, his hair is silver-white, and his eyes are a bright blue. He is clad in a set of white armor adorned with magnificent patterns, wielding a massive staff, and stands approximately 12 meters tall. For Muria at this moment, the size of this cloud giant is quite enormous

"When I get up there, will I be able to see the creatures guarding this castle?" Muria looked at the blonde dragonborn girl

Due to the towering height of the five-meter giant infant, it is no less impressive than the true Titan children of the same age. It can be anticipated that in the future, this figure will possess a physique and strength comparable to that of a pure-blood Titan, and his stature will be extraordinarily tall

What happened next left Mureya even more shocked. The cloud giants guarding the castle called out his name, just like the cloud giant that had knelt before him. One by one, the cloud giants knelt on one knee in his direction, their heads bowed deeply, revealing row upon row of helmeted backs of their heads.

Above the castle, a number of patrolling griffins descended like raindrops, crawling on all fours under the control of their master, the cloud giant, to pay homage to Muria

The enormous sound startled all the cloud giants patrolling the castle, and they turned their gazes towards the direction of Murea Iapetos Elonsas. The owner of this name, whom they had been anticipating for a full five years, would finally fulfill their wishes today

The enormous commotion from the castle startled all the creatures on the island, drawing their gazes towards the platform of the crystal castle

... ...

A myriad of various monsters, countless in number, are approaching the location of the crystal castle built by the Golden Dragon, their faces filled with anticipation

For example, at this moment, a gigantic humanoid creature is standing beside Murray

Between the sea and the sky, amidst the white clouds, various seabirds soar freely. Occasionally, some seabirds dive beneath the surface of the sea, then rise into the air with fresh, delicious fish in their beaks. Beneath the surface of the sea, massive sea creatures swim by, casting a large shadow that evokes a sense of awe.

At this moment, Mureya was completely stunned, his heart filled with immense satisfaction... But at the same time, a great doubt arose within him...

Then, he saw Sophia quietly walking behind Muria, standing silently. This cloud giant recognized Sophia, the leader of all the dragonborn in the castle. In this castle, apart from the legendary golden dragon Atris, only one other noble being was qualified to have this dragonborn leader standing behind them

In the higher skies, a group of bipedal dragons adorned with golden scales swoops down towards the castle. On the nearby island, towering giants entwined with hurricanes stride towards the castle. Near the island, deep blue-skinned giants emerge from the sea, while simultaneously, six-armed nagas wielding knives burst forth from the water and swim to the shore

Certainly, as a descendant of the Titan bloodline, Mureya is confident that he will soon surpass and even overpower the Cloud Giants in stature

Master Muria. Head Maid Sophia

Master Muria. Head Maid Sophia

On the castle's watchtower, the small figure is not tall, and many of the monsters present are much larger than him

Outside the castle, on the circular hill, on the gently sloping plain beyond the mountain, on the beach by the sea, and in the waters surrounding the island, a multitude of various monsters densely filled the area, encompassing land, sea, and air

Murray's lips curled slightly at the corners, at this moment, it seemed that there was no room for him to retreat even a little. He gritted his teeth and walked towards the highest observation platform.

"Please walk this way, Young Master Muria, and you will understand once you reach the top." Sophia and the book did not answer Muria's question, but instead pointed to a staircase leading upwards

Murray looked at the cloud giant before him, which changed its expression several times in a brief moment, much like the face-changing act in Sichuan opera, and couldn't help but laugh

We, the Dragonborn, are only responsible for managing the castle, while other beings are tasked with guarding it

The brilliant sunlight cascaded down, causing Muriya, who had stepped onto a vast platform, to squint slightly. A gentle breeze swept by, carrying the fresh scent of grass and foliage along with a barely perceptible hint of salty sea air

Murray turned to Sophia with a look of helplessness, at this moment he no longer knew what to do

A pair of blue eyes gazed at him, and Murray expressed that he was currently in a state of great panic. After all, he was just an ordinary person who had never encountered much of the world in his previous life. Being collectively scrutinized by nearly a hundred cloud giants, each towering at twelve meters, was indeed a bit overwhelming for him

Then, from outside the Crystal Castle, a tremendous cheer erupted. From the castle to the surrounding waters of the island, all the monsters were cheering. The initial sounds were somewhat chaotic, but soon, these voices became orderly, all chanting one name

Under the watchful gaze of numerous monstrous beings, a somewhat plump humanoid figure appeared at the highest point of the castle, coming into the view of many extraordinary creatures. He bore a pair of golden dragon wings, with a pair of small horns on his head that many monsters could not see. Behind him, a long dragon tail was restlessly swaying back and forth

Muria looked in the direction pointed by the Dragonborn leader; it was a massive observation tower located in the center of the castle, the highest point of this castle, and also the highest position within the castle.

Upon reaching adulthood, he, who inherited the strongest golden dragon bloodline among the metallic dragons, will also possess unparalleled majesty
