Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

In their understanding, they really couldn't imagine what a generous dragon would be like.

However, despite this, the anticipation of the Gemstone Dragons was completely piqued. Because during their interaction with Terramus, he was extraordinarily generous without a hint of stinginess, making it highly credible.

"Look, there's the exit!"

"We're about to reach the surface."

The Valley of Flames that connects the surface and the Dark Territory was right in front of them. As the sunlight poured into the valley, the expressions of the Gemstone Dragons became tense.

If Terramus hadn't actively sought them out and contacted them, they would still be holed up in their respective nests, with no thought of going to the surface.

Even now, it was only after hearing that their mate's father wanted to meet them that they hesitated for a long time before deciding to leave underground and venture into unknown territories.

They couldn't possibly let their mate's father come to see them, could they? According to their mate's description, he is a rather powerful Golden Dragon ruler, and it makes sense from any angle, be it strength, status, or position, that they should be the ones to initiate the visit.

"Follow me closely!"

Terramus led the four differently colored but all equally dazzling Gemstone Dragons out from underground, descending into a Flame Fortress.

And when the Gemstone Dragons appeared on the surface under better lighting conditions, under the sunlight, the four dragons immediately became the focal point of attention, even with Terramus present, not a hint of attention was diverted.

Because the armed forces stationed in the fortress, as well as merchants, adventurers, mercenaries, and residents coming and going, were not unfamiliar with this Holy Dragon Descendant, there wasn't much to look at.

But the attitude towards the Gemstone Dragons from underground was different. The crowd surged, all craning their necks, some even climbing onto rooftops just to catch a glimpse of the Gemstone Dragon Clan's magnificent appearance.

"What beautiful dragons!"

"Are they real dragons or fake dragons? Their scales look so expensive, just like gemstones?"

"Idiot, this is the Gemstone Dragon Clan. Of course, their scales look like gemstones!"

"Really? Then can their scales be used as gemstones?"

"So what if they can? Do you dare to have designs on the Dragon Lord?"

"No, of course not, but can't they use them themselves?"

Underneath a sky vastly different from the narrow and confined underground, and feeling the gazes from all directions along with discussions filled with excitement, curiosity, and a hint of greed, the four Gemstone Dragons naturally huddled together.

Because in this Flame Fortress, wherever they glanced, even just seeing an ordinary-looking Dragon-man guard made them feel a strong sense of threat.

However, this tense and panicked state disappeared without a trace as Terramus, noticing the unease, actively approached them. The presence of the Golden Dragon provided these female dragons with an immense sense of security.

"No need to be nervous, this is my jurisdiction. They are all my subordinates!"

"Are these Dragon-men your vassals?"

Under the sun, the Jade Dragon, whose scales shone a clear verdant hue, spoke with great excitement and curiosity, the light blue dragon eyes filled with joy.

The confirmed mate, possessing more substantial assets and a stronger military force than imagined, brought immense happiness.

"No, they are warriors loyal to my father. It's just that I have the authority to command them."

Terramus corrected.

"All this belongs to your father?"

"That's right, everything you see now is my father's territory."

"It's terrifying!"

"Truly amazing!"

The Gemstone Dragons couldn't stop exclaiming in awe, like country bumpkins visiting the city for the first time. Even the war fortresses initially designed for military purposes left them in awe, lingering even after a tour around.

However, their fascination with the Flame Fortress was swept away when Terramus transported them directly into Elisium through the Transmission Array.

"This is Elisium City, also the political and economic center of my father's territory!"

Stepping out from the spatial transport hub palace filled with thousands of transmission arrays, even standing on towering buildings reaching the clouds, they couldn't see the city's end with a single glance.

Such an extensive super city cluster profoundly impacted the Gemstone Dragons, who not long ago resided underground. The Flame Fortress that had just amazed them was already forgotten.

Even without yet truly entering the city, the Gemstone Dragons fell in love with Elisium at first sight. No dragon could resist such a magnificent dragon city.

Though the city was firmly on the ground, the sky was bustling with activity. Whether it was the patrolling Flying Dragon Knights or the steam airships weaving through the skies, ascending and descending, they held the full attention of the Gemstone Dragons, not wanting to miss a thing.

"Let's go, my father is waiting for you. After meeting him, you can wander here as long as you like."

Terramus's voice pulled the Gemstone Dragons back from their awe, reminding them of the more pressing matters at hand.

However, before heading to the surface, Terramus had spent a great deal of effort to soothe the nervous excitement of the female dragons. But upon witnessing the splendor and prosperity of Elisium, their calm composure was shattered.

The thought of soon meeting the Dragon Clan Monarch who ruled over this prosperous city made the Gemstone Dragons' expressions grow tense again.

"Truly beautiful! The Gemstone Dragon Clan, indeed the treasure of the Dragon Clan. Initially, I had some doubts, but the moment I saw you, I understood why my child is so enamored with you!"

Upon seeing the Gemstone Dragons his eldest son brought before him, Noah couldn't help but express sincere admiration.

Indeed, they were incredibly beautiful dragons. This wasn't just appreciation for the females; more importantly, it stemmed from the dragons' inherent desire for wealth and treasures.

The first introduced was the Yellow Jade Dragon, who seemed sculpted entirely from a single piece of yellow jade, a walking dragon-shaped gemstone. What dragon wouldn't like such a Gemstone Dragon?

The other dragons, the Jade Dragon, Purple Crystal Dragon, and Blue Gemstone Dragon, also appeared to be masterpieces crafted from different types of gemstones.

In this moment, Noah could deeply empathize with his younger son, Terramus. Encountering such dragons and having to choose among them was a tormenting task. If capable, one would naturally desire to possess them all.

"Father, this is the Jade Dragon, Delina..."

Terramus continued introducing his mates to his father, also giving the mates time to adapt gradually.

For upon setting foot in Noah's temporary palace and seeing Noah's true form, the four Gemstone Dragons fell into great shock. The impact far surpassed anything before, leaving them stunned and mind-numbed.

There was no special reason, simply that Noah's true form was too vast. Even though they had been warned, seeing Noah sprawling like mountains inside the palace, these Gemstone Dragons, each only twenty to thirty meters long, were dumbfounded.

In terms of size alone, they couldn't even compare to the Golden Dragon ruler's Dragon Claw Hand, let alone anything else.

The enormous disparity in size, coupled with the light Dragon Power Noah unintentionally emitted, overwhelmed these Gemstone Dragons instantly, leaving them speechless, even missing Noah's words, frozen in place.
