Beneath the Red Dragon

Without a doubt, many matters will require his attention next.

Karon knows full well that the decrees he issues in this world will have consequences. Although everything within the territory is under the complete control of the Dragon Group, it might still create ripples stirred by some with ulterior motives.

As a wise monarch, Karon should not be indulging in pleasure within the castle during this time. However, Karon is a Dragon Emperor wielding absolute power and violence, so it does not pose a problem.

Lady-in-waiting Charlize, once again attired in her exquisite uniform as a lady-in-waiting, stood by the side of the Red Dragon’s tail and bowed, saying, "Master, there are visitors from another plane who have brought you rare treasures and requested an audience!"

"Visitors from another plane?" Karon slowly rose. To his recollection, the Icaria World frequently welcomed guests from other planes, with many merchants from the Star Realm traversing numerous worlds to conduct business in those bustling civilizations.

However, the Northern Continent was never a thriving civilized land, unlike the two superpower Overlord Empires and numerous thriving civilized countries ruling over the Central Continent, where once stood a human civilization known as the Gata Empire.

Its establishment was permitted under the radiation influence of the two ruling Overlord Empires of the Central Continent, primarily as a defense against potential monsters emerging from the Land of Divine Promise.

The two superpower Overlord Empires, which dominated the Central Continent and exerted influence over numerous civilized states, each occupied the eastern and western poles of the Central Continent, known as the ’Sun Never Sets Empire’s Faen Empire’ and the ’Land’s Strongest Army’s Lu Man Empire.’

Such powerful forces in these two Overlord Empires require additional applications from Southern Good Dragon Alliance’s giant dragons attempting to cross their territories, or else they must circumvent via the two empires’ maritime domains.

This is one of the reasons why Karon has always been indifferent to the threat posed by the Southern Good Dragon Alliance.

The Southern Good Dragon Alliance cannot mobilize a large number of dragons from their base to traverse the Central Continent. Even if flying over the endless seas, it would still take considerable time for the dragons.

Moreover, the Icaria World harbors countless dangers. Be it the Titans’ creations—the Giant Species once left in the world, or the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish from the endless ocean depths, or the rampant ancient creatures with primordial bloodlines scattered throughout the land.

Even in the skies, dragons do not walk without challenge in this world.

Karon paced toward the castle’s first floor. Visitors from another plane are rarely seen throughout the Northern Continent, even more so in this land that was once wasteland and forest.

Despite the burgeoning dragon civilization in the wasteland over the years, this land remains too remote from the perspective of many civilized powers.

Thus, Karon usually encounters guests from distant lower planes without much value, drifting without purpose, but today someone willingly presented treasures to dragons, arousing his curiosity.

When the Red Dragon ascended the throne, he bowed his head slightly, awaiting the audience of visitors from the exotic realm.

The black-haired middle-aged captain, named Bo Rong, finally received permission, maintaining a cautious and respectful posture, stepping slowly into the enormous castle.

He and his team paid dearly to gain such honor, to truly approach the ruler of this land, Karon Gogomola.

"Respected sovereign of the Dragon Group, creator of the Land of Golden, Emperor who commands wasteland, forest, sea, and sky, Karon Gogomola Your Majesty, your humble admirer pays homage to you."

Bo Rong bowed his head, sank into a single knee before the Dragon Emperor on the throne without mental pressure.

"Rise; in my empire, there’s no need to uphold complex ceremonies,"

The voice of the Ancestral Red Dragon was serene, as the Bright Pearl in his hand emitted a gentle and mild brilliance, his grandeur not apparent in deference to the treasure.

"Speak, visitor from the exotic realm, you offered this precious Bright Pearl; naturally, you must have your request!"

"I yearn for the favor and esteem of the Dragon King,"

Bo Rong understood deeply that these dragons, whether Five-Color or Metal Dragons, prefer simple and straightforward communication compared to other Humanoid Races, hence he was forthright without a hint of subtlety.

"I desire to become the true beloved of the supreme monarch, by your blood, for my utmost glory."

Karon’s gaze quietly brightened at this moment, watching the man below with amusement, "The treasure you offered is indeed precious, but my power surpasses this treasure by countless measures, a price you cannot afford."

At that moment, boundless deterrence and pressure amplified, under this irresistible intimidation, Bo Rong’s black pupils quietly flashed white, his once lively eyes and expressive facial expressions became somewhat rigid.

"It seems that the real party wanting to trade with me is you?" Karon’s dark golden eyes dimmed, he said leisurely.

From the moment Bo Rong stepped into this grand hall, Karon sensed a deliberate aura emitted from him, like probing Karon’s reactions.
