Being suppressed by an overwhelming force, the young golden dragon, who had only recently entered adulthood, was rendered immobile on the ground. In front of the dragon king Igresel, he did not even have the资格 to resist.
The current dragon king Igresel, whose power was at the peak of his status, comparable to the heavenly rank, was a sixth-rank wind and fire dual-element dragon. Just one step further and he would reach the heavenly rank. In the history of dragons, it was extremely rare to have a dual-element dragon. Relying on his own strength and leadership, he ascended to the throne of the dragon race 2,600 years ago, becoming the new dragon king.
In the central hall of the Sky Dragon City, he personally received a junior.
"Confess, confess!"
Although the golden dragons were cruel and tyrannical, they were not without reason, and it mattered who they were dealing with.
The gold coin, this troublemaker, promptly confessed before the dragon king.
"Confess? Do you know what you did wrong?"
The dragon king Igresel, whose body was twice the size of the gold coin, had dark red scales that were hard and thick, and his muscles were well-defined. His dragon horns resembled a crown. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and two fireballs, each with the power of a third-rank human, burst from his nostrils, exploding into a rain of fire in the air, which then vanished without a trace.
An invisible elemental rule field enveloped everything within a hundred-meter radius. The slight power leakage, controlled by his will, did not damage anything around.
"I admit, I secretly ate the battle armor of the fire dragon elder Sitas."
The gold coin honestly confessed to his past misdeeds in the Sky Dragon City.
"I'm not talking about that!"
The dragon king coldly snorted again.
At least it was not a complete loss; a theft case that had been hanging in the clan seemed to have a lead.
"Um, I, I accidentally bit a small piece off the earth crystal dragon Yars' life-bound artifact, the 'Cang Mang Round Shield.' Really, just a small piece, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to lick it, but it turned out to be so brittle, like a crispy cream flavor."
The gold coin's voice grew softer as he glanced at the dragon king, fearing he would be sent to work in the mines under Yars' command, a fate worse than death.
That big guy would never let him off.
"You! It was you who did it."
Igresel's eyes suddenly opened wide. This young golden dragon had caused quite a bit of trouble.
The earth crystal dragon Yars' life-bound artifact, the 'Cang Mang Round Shield,' had originally been close to the second rank. One step further and it would reach the third rank. However, it was suddenly damaged, dropping a rank and almost falling to the human rank. Yars himself was deeply hurt and was still searching for a high-ranking alchemist to repair his life-bound artifact.
"I'm not talking about that!"
His eyes involuntarily widened, and he barely suppressed the urge to beat the troublemaker. Igresel took a deep breath, and a fierce wind swept through the hall, with several visible tornadoes swirling between him and the golden dragon.
The gold coin almost wet himself at the sight. Every dragon king was a fighter, and a single finger could easily destroy him a hundred times over. He had already silently prayed to the Dragon God, hoping for leniency.
He had already been unlucky enough. Exiled to another world due to a forbidden spell battle between human empires, he had managed to survive and adapt to a world that was like a paradise for golden dragons. However, he was once again caught in a spatial vortex due to a war.
Thinking he was doomed, he was incredibly lucky to be found by the dragon race's law enforcement team, a female space silver dragon named Tesseraphia, who immediately captured him and brought him back to the Sky Dragon City for punishment.
As for the dragon knight Lin Mo and the other three women he had tried to protect, the silver dragon had casually thrown them into some unknown corner of the world.
"Yes, yes, my king, I privately intercepted a batch of minerals sent to the dragon city by the demon rock race."
The gold coin, after a moment's thought, remembered another misdeed he had committed. It must have been this that caused the trouble!
This had caused a diplomatic dispute. Dragon God, don't turn me into a weapon.
I'm still young and don't want to become a martyr for the great cause of the dragon race.
Thinking of this, his once bright and shiny scales suddenly dulled.
"Enough, look at what you've done!"
The dragon king finally couldn't hold back his roar, which echoed throughout the hall.
The grand hard rock building creaked, and some pillars cracked. If a weaker race were present, they would have been crushed to death.
The demon rock race was a humanoid race living in the mountains, tall and with extremely thick limbs. They had extreme personalities, being warm and hospitable when calm, but bloodthirsty and cruel when angry. They were skilled in mining and smelting, and their metal tools were renowned for their durability.
The Sky Dragon City had an agreement with the demon rock race, purchasing many metals and customizing machinery for wars against extraterrestrial races.
Igresel had been puzzled why the demon rock race had once been late by half a year. He hadn't thought that the gold coin had intercepted the shipment. After the incident, the demon rock race, fearing the wrath of the Sky Dragon City, had silently borne the loss and re-collected the minerals, but it still caused a delay.
The dragon city had not pursued the matter further, allowing the mischievous golden dragon to remain free.
To the golden dragons, metal minerals were like a beauty to a lecher. No one had expected such a bold and daring individual to dare to tamper with the strategic resources of the Sky Dragon City.
It was over; no dragon could save this troublemaker!
The dragon race would certainly educate this scoundrel, teaching him how steel is made.
Suppressing his anger, the dragon king slowly approached the pitiful and humble gold coin, his eyes, as large as wheels, fixed on him. "Don't try to wriggle out of it. Confess quickly!"
The golden dragon pitifully blinked, weakly asking, "My king, what exactly do you want me to confess?"
He had other misdeeds to confess, and if he admitted them all, the dragon king's anger would likely reach its peak.
Though unsure if the dragon king was bluffing, he decided to play dumb.
"Mo Indium Gold Dust!"
The dragon king's pupils glowed with the terrifying power of the peak earth rank, and he slowly enunciated the name.
"Mo, Mo Indium Gold Dust!"
The gold coin was initially confused, but his face suddenly changed, and he began to stammer.
An extremely rare and precious metal, with no known origin or vein, it was often only as large as a grain of sand. It could grant objects the property of never wearing out or being destroyed.
This metal could be used to create powerful artifacts, making it one of the rarest treasures in the world. Since it could not be mined, the only way the dragon race could obtain it was through powerful space silver dragons searching the spatial vortex, occasionally finding a tiny bit, but often coming up empty-handed.
"No, I don't know what Mo Indium Gold Dust is!"
The golden dragon quickly shook his head, but it was too late. The glutton was not good at hiding his reactions, and his momentary change had not escaped the dragon king's eyes.
If it weren't for the Mo Indium Gold Dust, a matter of great importance, the dragon king would not have personally interrogated this troublemaker.
"Keep pretending, see if you can fool anyone. Do you want me to use a mental spell to clear your head?"
The dragon king Igresel lightly flapped his wings, and a violent gust of wind sent the golden dragon tumbling, sparks flying as his body hit the ground, creating a series of crisp clinks.
A sixth-rank wind and fire dual-element dragon, he almost completely controlled the elements of wind and fire, and his will could easily trigger an elemental storm.
A golden dragon without magical abilities was like Sun Wukong in the hands of Buddha, either to be leniently treated or suppressed under the Five-Finger Mountain, all at the dragon king's discretion.
"My king, I, I confess!" The golden dragon was so frightened that his numerous sharp scales instantly softened. There was no other way but to confess.
...
Watching the young golden dragon, with a sorrowful expression, head to the dragon city's punishment hall, a soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind the dragon king.
"My king, are you really only sending this little guy to serve in the War Dragon Hall for a hundred years? Isn't this punishment too light?"
A faintly silver-white, semi-physical dragon figure appeared behind Igresel in the hall.
Everything that had happened was within its sight, and even the golden dragon had not noticed its presence.
"Tesseraphia, you know that the golden dragons are notoriously difficult to manage. Their clan leader has been missing for a long time, and it's unknown if he has been turned into a weapon by another race. Due to the great forbidden spell during the war between the Sylan Empire and the Tese Empire, the contract with the Sylan Empire can be terminated. The War Dragon Hall is probably the best place for this little guy. Also, this is for the sake of your niece, Shadow Song. If she hadn't tried to help, the gold coin wouldn't have succeeded in stealing the Mo Indium Gold Dust."
The dragon king Igresel did not turn his head. In the hall, he had tried to make the gold coin regurgitate the Mo Indium Gold Dust, but it seemed impossible. Once inside a dragon's stomach, it was extremely difficult to expel.
Unless the glutton was thrown into a furnace to be used in creating an artifact, there was no way to get the Mo Indium Gold Dust out. However, the dragon king could not bring himself to do it, as it would severely damage his authority and the unity of the dragon race.
"Thank you, my lord!"
The silver dragon fully materialized from the secondary phase, becoming a physical dragon. She knew that the young golden dragon had taken the blame for her niece.
The dragon king Igresel slightly turned his head, looking at the elegant and silver-scaled female silver dragon law enforcement captain. "Also, send a dragon to the Sylan Empire to investigate the gold coin's dragon knight. I have a bad feeling that the gold coin is hiding something."
"What about after the investigation? How should the dragon knight Morin be handled? Bring him back or kill him?"
The space silver dragon Tesseraphia, who had rescued the golden dragon from the spatial vortex, recognized the gold coin's dragon knight.
"Whatever!"
"Understood, my king!"
