Chapter 219: Chapter 108: Dragon Emperor’s Invitation_2

Long Dangdang spoke with reluctance, "But, Kongkong has already been acknowledged by the Wisdom Spirit Furnace, isn’t this enough to prove that his talent is good?"

Dragon Emperor responded patiently, "It’s not the same. The Wisdom Spirit Furnace’s choice is its own matter. We, magical beasts, have our own way of evaluating, and it differs. What we value more is the potential from our contract partners themselves. We only acknowledge those who have sufficient extraordinary talent. Come, let me examine your conditions."

While speaking, a shimmering golden light appeared in Dragon Emperor’s eyes, turning into two golden light beams enveloping Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang felt a warm sensation spreading throughout his body, an indescribable comfort, even bringing a sense of transparency. More peculiarly, illusions began to manifest around him, resembling the three clones he could produce

"You possess excellent talent!" Dragon Emperor’s voice was filled with joy and even some sense of relief.

However, Long Dangdang’s mood did not improve due to the praise. All he was worried about was Kongkong, who had not been acknowledged by the dragon tribe. He was sure Kongkong must be feeling upset.

Dragon Emperor spoke seriously, "Long Dangdang, are you willing to strive for the protection of this world?"

Long Dangdang snapped back from his thoughts, instinctively nodded, "I am willing."

Dragon Emperor continued, "Very well. If a powerful enemy attempts to destroy this world, are you willing to fight back at all costs? Use everything you have to protect this plane, the world, and the safety of your people."

"Yes, I am willing." Long Dangdang pressed his right fist to his chest in a knight-like salute.

Dragon Emperor’s gaze softened, "Very good, follow me." As he spoke, the golden light grew brighter. Long Dangdang found his vision blurred momentarily, and in the next moment, he was surprisingly perched atop the Dragon Emperor’s gigantic head.

The Dragon Emperor, with its massive body spanning 300 meters, sprang into flight. It didn’t have wings, but its speed was incredibly fast. The strong wind threatened to blow Long Dangdang away, but at that moment, a gentle suction force emanated from the Dragon Emperor’s horns, adhering his body between the two huge horns.

The surrounding giant dragons followed Dragon Emperor, flying straight towards the Knights’ Holy Mountain.

After the initial surge of his heartbeat, Long Dangdang gradually relaxed. Was this the sensation of riding a dragon? Furthermore, the dragon he was currently riding was none other than the Dragon Emperor. Without a doubt, this was a peak-ranked, 10th level existence, and likely the most potent magical beast in existence. There was no greater honor than to ride the Dragon Emperor into the sky.

"Perform well. Your chance to become a dragon knight has arrived." Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace had already returned to his body, and the sound of the Vast Ocean echoed in his mind.

"Understood." Long Dangdang agreed.

Kongkong wanted to be a dragon knight, but who wouldn’t? Any knight would dream of having a real dragon as their mount.

The Knights’ Holy Mountain was getting closer. Upon flying closer, one can even more feel its grandeur. At a close proximity, one could hardly see the edges of its peaks stretching wide. However, numerous huge caves came into view before Long Dangdang.

"On the Knights’ Holy Mountain, there live seven mythical species of magical beasts, which can also be considered the most powerful magical beasts in this plane. We call ourselves divine beasts because beings in our species have once touched the edge of this plane’s rules, or as you humans call it, the million magnitude spiritual power. However, no one has ever been able to surpass it. During the great catastrophe when the demon tribe descended, our species too, were severely struck. Originally, there were twelve of these types of species, but five were extinguished in the catastrophe, and only seven mythical species survived. They were taken in by the Knights Temple and stayed here, supporting the Holy Mountain. The true Knights’ Holy Mountain was not activated until three thousand years ago and was closed off before that until we regained some life force. The other magical beasts, mostly related to our seven mythical species, proliferated to form the scale of the Holy Mountain you see now," explained the Dragon Emperor as he flew towards the largest cave with Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang now understood how powerful the Knights Temple truly was, without a doubt, the depth that the Knights’ Holy Mountain possesses is unequaled by any other temple. The Dragon Emperor had said that the seven mythical species were once graced by the Knights Temple, which is why they chose to stay and reproduce here, protecting the Knights’ Holy Mountain. Hence, if the Knights Temple were ever under lethal threat, these mythical species would undoubtedly shield it with their power!

No other giant dragons followed, only the Dragon Emperor carried Long Dangdang into the massive cavern, reaching over a hundred meters high.

The cavern wasn’t dim, on the contrary, it was thronged with sparkling objects, primarily ores. Long Dangdang might not be familiar with them, but he could distinctly feel the energy fluctuations they emitted, surely they were all valuable!

The Dragon Emperor didn’t let Long Dangdang alight, but landed on its five claws and proceeded deeper into the cave.

The interior of the cavern was even more expansive, it almost felt like they were delving into the stomach of a mountain. The ceiling was embedded with glittering ores, making the place dry, comfortable, and very bright.

It wasn’t until they reached the deepest part of the cave that the Dragon Emperor stopped. Long Dangdang involuntarily held his breath. What was he seeing?

In front of him, there lay a literal mountain of gold, piles of coins, golden ore, and countless gemstones amassed like a mountain peak, even grander than the body of the Dragon Emperor.

Without a doubt, if this wealth were to be taken outside, it could be described as lofty enough to rival a state.

He had heard before that the greatest hobby of the dragon tribe was to collect all kinds of shiny treasures. What he saw before his eyes was truly staggering. No doubt, this was the Dragon Emperor’s treasure.

"Darling, we have a visitor. Please, come out and greet them." The majestic voice of the Dragon Emperor suddenly softened.

The next moment, the mountain of gold seemed to wobble, and soon after, a golden head emerged from the top of the mountain.

An earth-shattering golden dragon head, though it was smaller than the Dragon Emperor’s, it was just as awe-inspiring when it climbed out of the mountain.

With a length exceeding two hundred meters, and its body covered in crystalline golden scales, while its scales didn’t seem as thick as the Dragon Emperor’s, they were more translucent and its entire body emitted a gentle luminous aura, as if it was forged from the light element itself. Although this one was not as long as the Dragon Emperor, it was decidedly plumper, with a belly girth surpassing that of the Dragon Emperor.

Was this the Dragon Empress?

"Oh, a human? From the Temple?" a pleasant female voice chimed in. As the Dragon Empress laid upon the gold mountain, she used the claws under her belly to scratch at the pile of jewellery and nudge it beneath her body, supporting her bulky frame.

"Yes, from the Knights Temple, here to seek a mount. My dear, I need to discuss something with you." As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor’s voice began to change, becoming a unique, pleasant melodic pit-pat that quickened Long Dangdang’s heartbeat, as if everything around him was resonating with the Dragon Emperor’s voice.

Was this Dragon language? According to legend, the dragon language magic was one of the most powerful magics, and the core reason why the dragon tribe stood at the peak level of magical beasts.
