Under the Red Dragon

Deep into the night, the Moon Maiden's bright moon hung directly overhead, its light spilling like flowing water across the towering royal court, as if descending from the heavens, a divine palace on a mountaintop, mysterious and majestic.

Just a wall apart, yet worlds apart.

Within that magnificent palace, toasts were exchanged, dishes clattered, drunken boasts filled the air, and the atmosphere was lively and boisterous.

But the corridors outside the castle were cold and silent, even the night wind felt particularly biting. Atop the mountain peaks, the chilling winds sometimes pierced even the dragons' scales, burning the skin beneath.

As a silver dragon, Chris Tiana belonged to a cold-blooded species. They preferred to nest in high mountains or clouds, naturally immune to the cold.

The biting chill was actually more comfortable for Chris, but her dragon heart was ice-cold.

Locked in the deep corridors by the power and magic of an ancient red dragon, Chris couldn't even gaze at the bright moon in the sky, which once represented her noble heart and aspirations.

Of course, she could drag her chains and crawl out of the deep, winding corridors, but she couldn't bear such humiliation, like a watchdog dragging its chains everywhere.

Chris Tiana felt as if her spine had been removed, wanting nothing more than to lie there, motionless.

Watching the moonlight spill into the flowerbeds in the castle's front courtyard, the flowers swaying in the gentle breeze, Chris even thought that perhaps it would be better to be an ignorant, unthinking flower, perhaps even better than she was now.

She couldn't understand why there were such tyrannical and overbearing dragons in the world, just because they had offended their dignity, just because they had ignored the dignity of the people in the territory, they locked up the noble silver dragon like a slave.

Although silver dragons and gold dragons were inherently kind, often pitying weaker creatures, this pity stemmed from viewing them as pitiful beings who needed to look up to them.

In the dragons' eyes, simply releasing dragon might to intimidate those races and humans was nothing, they hadn't hurt anyone.

Chris also couldn't understand why such terrifying and powerful dragons were born in the world of Akania. Even the ancient gold dragon Obelash, with the blood of the ancients, couldn't have crushed her head-on during his youth.

Because Chris had severely taught Obelash a lesson for his offense, perhaps the young ancient gold dragon Obelash was outstanding enough to fight against an adult dragon across an entire age group, but in front of Chris, he still seemed quite immature.

And that terrifying red dragon, although also bearing the blood of the ancients, faced three adult dragons, yet crushed them with absolute superiority, stepping on their claws.

This was unimaginable and unacceptable to all three adult dragons, especially the silver dragon Chris.

Although Chris didn't show her arrogance, her heart was even more proud than the ancient gold dragon Obelash, who flaunted his arrogance.

Because the title of Silver Dragon Valkyrie was not a boast, but a title truly earned through many challenges and battles.

With skilled combat skills and powerful magical talent, the silver dragon Chris never thought she was worse than other dragons. Her goal was those ancient dragons who traveled across the star realm and roamed in the endless world, those dragons who were famous even in the star realm.

But now she had become a prisoner, a slave who couldn't even have freedom.

Her proud combat skills were clumsy compared to that strong red dragon, her relied-upon magical talent was just a drizzle before that red dragon's power, and her pride was a joke under the other party's gaze.

Chris felt that her heart was as cold as the moonlight at this moment, the coldness actually permeating the silver dragon's limbs, causing her to constantly lose the strength in her limbs, and could only lie weakly on the cold stone slab.

She even sought the teachings of the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut in her heart, praying that the great Platinum Dragon God could dispel the confusion and bewilderment in her heart.

Chris also couldn't understand why the silver dragons, who upheld justice, showed kindness, and helped the weak, still had many trapped in poverty and struggling, while these evil dragons could enjoy the blood and sweat of countless people and live in such luxurious and magnificent palaces to indulge in pleasure.

Even she, the famous Silver Dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana, would be willing to be the guardian of that arrogant ancient gold dragon for two thousand gold coins, accompanying Obelash to do the stupid thing of provoking the dragons.

Even the wealthy father of the ancient gold dragon Obelash, the gold dragon Earl Mogsa, his luxurious manor was far inferior to this magnificent castle, it was conceivable how these evil dragons used magic to bewitch and power to exploit the people of this territory.

"Could it be that evil in the world will ultimately prevail over noble justice, great Platinum Dragon God, your family and people, Chris Tiana, pray for your great wisdom!"

After a long time, the silver dragon Chris opened her eyes, revealing a look of disappointment. As expected, even a great being like the Platinum Dragon God could not respond to his family at all times, perhaps this was related to the silver dragon being just a shallow believer.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Dragon God, this is just a test for me, you must not be discouraged, Chris, your heart should be like the moon in the sky, unable to be blocked by temporary dark clouds."

The silver dragon Chris's wandering heart temporarily settled down, prayer, even without getting the due response, but it can make her settled.

"Who's there?"

The silver dragon Chris twisted her head, a pair of vertical pupils shining brightly in the deep corridor. Even with the occasional noise coming from the open door of the hall, the silver dragon's excellent hearing still allowed her to hear faint footsteps.

Two bronze dragons lying on the ground on the left side of the castle gate also raised their heads in the soft light and looked in the direction of the silver dragon.

In front of this dragon's palace, it should be the safest place in this empire ruled by dragons. Even if the dragons inside were not there, as long as its master was present, this place would be the most solid fortress.

However, the silver dragon Chris and the two bronze dragons did not have a sense of belonging here, only hostility, so they were very vigilant, although they did not realize that doing so was completely becoming the dragon guards guarding the gate.

Da da da, in the deep corridor, the sound of shoes hitting the floor became more and more obvious in the dragons' ears, even if this footstep was almost inaudible to human ears.

It was a group of beautiful maids, some human and some elves, each of whom was graceful and beautiful.

But what surprised the silver dragon Chris was that these maids stopped in front of her with precious sandalwood and gold and silver trays holding many delicious foods, and then spread out a silk cloth printed with exquisite patterns, and placed the delicious foods in front of her one by one.

More attractive to the silver dragon Chris than these delicious foods were the precious gold and silver utensils that looked like works of art, even the utensils used to hold spices for flavoring food looked like masterpieces carved by masters.

But what surprised the silver dragon Chris the most was that the light纱shorts worn by these maids were woven from the finest silk yarn.

The thin grass-patterned ribbons tied around their waists were also inlaid with small pieces of gold and silver, shining even in the somewhat dim corridor, highlighting the maids' bare, fair and delicate waists outside the light纱.

And the black velvet chokers worn around their slender, fair necks were dotted with gems of different colors, just like the dragon scales of different colors, shining brightly.

The head maid was inlaid with a sparkling and translucent ruby in the center of her choker, the dazzling light of which made the scales on the silver dragon Chris pale in comparison.

The silver dragon Chris's gaze lingered on these sparkling gems, and it took her a lot of effort to turn her green eyes in other directions.

"These riches obtained through evil and bloody exploitation are not worth my envy and jealousy, you have to calm down, Chris, you are an elegant and noble silver dragon, you must not fall into the trap of the evil dragon."

The silver dragon's throat swallowed saliva unconsciously, she muttered in her heart, finally calming down her somewhat feverish head.

But the silver dragon Chris couldn't help but ask: "How could that evil dragon, Goremora, allow you to wear his treasures on your body, this is an invasion for the evil dragon!"

The head maid Charlize, who was still gently placing the food, immediately frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and the huge golden cup slammed on the carpet on the ground with a clang.

"Silver Dragon Madam, calling the Dragon Lord's name directly is extremely disrespectful and rude. Besides, you don't know the master's generosity and tolerance at all. These treasures are all given to us by the master, and this dinner is also specially prepared by the master to entertain you!"

The latest novel is first published at six, nine, and books!

The head maid Charlize, stretched out her slender and fair fingers, and helped the huge golden cup upright, and said lightly.

The silver dragon Chris was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Generous and tolerant? Just because we offended his dignity, he locked us here like slaves, can this also be called generosity and tolerance? Letting us be tied up by chains and eating on the ground like savages, is this also called entertainment?"

The head maid Charlize showed a faint smile, she said softly: "Different identities, the choices made when facing a thing will be different."

"If according to the practices of those human nobles and kingdom kings in the world, with the actions of Silver Dragon Madam and you, you would all be dragged to the guillotine and beheaded, let alone a dragon emperor destined to be great."

"As for you, if you can obey the Dragon Lord's will, you will soon be free, as long as you make a contribution that satisfies the Dragon Lord, the master is just worried that you will cause damage to the territory."

The silver dragon Chris snorted lowly and turned her head to the other side, "Take it away, I will not enjoy these blood and sweat taken by evil exploitation."

"What is evil, what is justice," the head maid Charlize looked at this silver dragon, her tone became serious.

"When I lived in the noble castle, I also deeply believed in the justice and evil in the dogma, but later I realized that the boundaries between many people and many things in the world are originally blurred,"

"You see, the residents living in this land, they can eat their fill, wear warm clothes, have their own houses and land, have their own families and careers, in this land, no one has ever starved to death, as long as he has a pair of hands that can work, and a pair of feet that can walk."

The head maid Charlize smiled, her charming face actually exuding a light that made the silver dragon unable to look directly at her, she said: "And those nobles who claim to be righteous, the residents in their territory are sallow and muscular, and they are running around for a bite of food all day long,"

"Even if they spend their entire lives on the land under their feet, they still can't eat their fill and wear warm clothes, their houses are occupied by those nobles, and their wives and children are regarded as slaves by the nobles,"

"I heard that even in those places ruled by the noble and benevolent gold dragons, there are still countless refugees and refugees, even so, the taxes collected by those benevolent gold dragons are still not less than those of the nobles."

"Why don't you metal dragons who uphold justice and pity the weak go to save those weak people who are in distress caused by the righteous people all day long, or are you afraid?"

The head maid Charlize's soft eyebrows were as sharp as a sharp blade at this moment, and even made the silver dragon Chris and the two bronze dragons subconsciously avoid this maid who seemed to be able to be pinched to death with a slap.

"Ordinary people just hope to have a life of good weather, health and safety, free from war, eating their fill, wearing warm clothes, and living and working in peace and contentment, and in this land, people can have these. Because the taxes set by the dragons are lower, much lower, than any country, any region, any noble in the world!"

"What is the price? The price is that countless druids cultivate improved varieties, countless pharmacists study good medicines, countless Pixie elves nurture plants, countless warriors use steel knives and iron swords, use blood and bones, to open up and guard, even dragons will push the dark clouds and bring down rain, just to better transform this homeland."

"This is how today's beauty has been exchanged, is this the evil in your eyes? Are these the villains you should attack?"

Charlize's tone was decisive: "You really ashamed of the scales on your body that shine like moonlight and are beautiful, Silver Dragon Madam, you are also ashamed of such a long and beautiful time, even if I am just a small and weak short-lived species, I can see more clearly than you!"

The silver dragon Chris fell into silence at this moment, she couldn't help but think that perhaps the great Platinum Dragon God was also unwilling to bestow his wisdom because of her own shallowness.

The two bronze dragons were also silent. Biased dragons could not easily listen to other people's opinions at ordinary times, but at this weak time, they were more likely to fall into reflection.

Charlize stood up from her squatting posture and said softly: "Silver Dragon Madam, if you don't plan to enjoy these foods, please don't destroy them, they will be sent to the territory tomorrow and given to those lonely old people and children."

"Although the master enjoys luxury and beauty, he never has the habit of wasting!"

The silver dragon Chris only felt that the sound in that wide hall was so far away from her at this moment, so far away that she could not even hear the words inside.

Charlize's voice was like the whisper of a demon, always lingering in her ears.

"Oh, great Platinum Dragon God, please grant me some guidance!" Silver Dragon Chris closed her eyes and sighed softly!

Thank you all for your support! Thank you to Yi San Si Wu, Time Flies Like Water, and Armored Sails for the rewards!
