Chapter 1

Ding! Ding! Ding! The black iron hammer, weighing a hundred catties, fell repeatedly, sparks flying up.

Long Yi, merely eighteen years old, was already over two meters tall, with a buzz cut that stood straight up like steel wire. His muscles, illuminated by the furnace fire, looked as if they were forged from iron. At this moment, he wore a smile, concentrating on hammering his creation on the anvil.

This was a blacksmith's shop, located at one end of the small town's market, not very large in scale.

In the market, there were two other ordinary blacksmith's shops, and this one was the smallest. It did not produce any legendary weapons, so it usually did not keep stock, only producing items upon receiving orders.

However, from the pile of goods on the side, one could tell that business was still quite good.

"Ba Jie, more fire," Long Yi instructed.

In the shadow of a corner, a bulky figure wobbled over and blew a fierce flame at the object on the anvil.

The flame illuminated the owner of the body, a dragon almost as tall as Long Yi. It was large, fat, with thick limbs, looking lazy and wingless.

In this world, dragons were not rare; almost everyone had some interaction with dragons. However, just as people differ from one another, dragons also differ from one another.

After a breath of dragon fire, the fat dragon wobbled back to the corner, picked up a roasted cow leg from the side, opened its mouth, and a small flame spurted out, charring the meat before eating it while it was hot.

Taking advantage of the heat of the object in his hands, Long Yi swung the iron hammer again, the sound of hammering continuous.

At this moment, the crowd outside the market suddenly became noisy, and the fat dragon, which had been in the corner, opened its half-closed eyes. It glanced at the sky through the roof, then closed its eyes again, stuffing the cow leg into its mouth in a few bites. Soon, the noise grew louder.

"White Dragon! Look, that's a White Dragon! That must be an Imperial Knight!" A child pulled his father's hand, excitedly asking.

"Haha, the White Dragon Knights are the guardians of our White Dragon Empire, the pride of our empire!" The child's father looked up at the sky, his face filled with excitement.

In this remote town, being able to see the symbol of the White Dragon Empire—the White Dragon—was so exciting and fortunate!

"Dad! Dad! I want to become a White Dragon Knight when I grow up!" The child shouted to his father, his large eyes reflecting the White Dragon soaring in the sky, his small hands raised high as if trying to catch the White Dragon.

"Hahaha, silly boy. The White Dragon Knights are not ordinary dragon knights; only those with the purest dragon soul bloodline have a chance! For us ordinary people, becoming a Ground Dragon Knight is already a great achievement!" The father's words were filled with sighs, as he did not dare to hope for a White Dragon Knight.

In fact, not to mention a White Dragon, even any Sky Dragon was something he did not dare to dream of.

As a commoner, the dragon soul bloodline in his body was extremely thin. If a Ground Dragon Knight could appear in his family, it would be a great honor.

"Okay, I will definitely become a Ground Dragon Knight when I grow up, and I will make Dad proud!" The child said seriously. The father laughed heartily, picked up the child, and placed him on his shoulders so he could see the White Dragon more clearly.

Unconsciously, everyone around fell silent, quietly watching the White Dragon soar in the sky.

However, the White Dragon did not just pass by; it circled in the sky and then dove straight down!

Everyone was surprised. The White Dragon Knight would not attack here, so could it be that his destination was here?

The White Dragon was very fast, and in a blink, it was already above the small town.

The White Dragon was a medium-sized dragon, with wings spanning over twenty meters, casting a large shadow on the ground. In the center of the market was a small square, and the White Dragon circled above the square. The people in the square immediately understood that the Dragon Knight was preparing to land there.

In just a few seconds, the entire square was cleared.

At this moment, everyone also saw the knight sitting on the dragon saddle. A full-body silver armor covered the knight's entire face and body, but it looked slender. On the left side of the dragon saddle hung a five-meter-long dragon spear, and on the right side was a two-meter-long dragon slaying sword! The onlookers were all in awe.

This was the pride of the entire White Dragon Empire! The pure white giant dragon!

This was the Dragon Knight, sharing life with the dragon, incredibly powerful!

Instantly, all the people spontaneously knelt down.

"Welcome, Lord White Dragon Knight!"

In the entire White Dragon Empire, only the White Dragon Knights, besides the emperor, could win such heartfelt admiration from the people.

Because they represented the empire's greatest strength!

The Dragon Knight leaped off the dragon saddle, pressed a button at the neck, and a light click sounded as the lock opened. Then, the Dragon Knight removed the helmet, and immediately, a head of pure white long hair cascaded down, and a face of breathtaking beauty appeared before everyone's eyes.

"You don't need to bow so deeply. I am here on personal business, and I am very sorry for the disturbance. I will only stay for five minutes, so please keep your children from approaching the White Dragon, although she is very friendly." As she spoke, the female knight gave a knightly salute to the surrounding people.

Although the female knight seemed a bit anxious and spoke quickly, her words were still clear and polite.

This was a true noble, a true knight, who would never be arrogant because of her nobility or look down on others because of their low status.

Everyone stared at the female Dragon Knight, no one getting up. It was not out of fear but because they were completely stunned by her beauty. The female Dragon Knight smiled bitterly, clearly not for the first time.

The female Dragon Knight whispered a few words to the White Dragon, which nodded slightly and raised its head high, looking into the distance. Under the sunlight, it looked like a huge statue, motionless.

Dragons were not humans; they were a group of creatures proud to the core, so proud that they were too lazy to be proud. Except for Dragon Knights, they saw no other creatures.

The Dragon God created the world, and the dragons taught humans martial arts and magic. One could say that this world was built by dragons and humans together.

After instructing the White Dragon, the female Dragon Knight took a step forward. Clearly, she was very anxious, but she still maintained an elegant gait, without any pretense.

It was not until the female Dragon Knight walked far away that the people came to their senses. But no one spoke; this female Dragon Knight was so beautiful that even talking about her behind her back felt like a desecration!

"Brother Long!" With a clear call, the female Dragon Knight in silver armor rushed into the blacksmith's shop. Long Yi had already put down his iron hammer and was smiling as he watched the female Dragon Knight enter. Seeing Long Yi, the female Dragon Knight's expression and steps slightly faltered, but she did not show any further reaction.

"Elisa, you're here."
