I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

Chapter 493 - Good Dragon and Evil Dragon

The royal palace of the Land of Dragons was not very luxurious, but as a whole, it could be described as large.

Towering stone pillars supported its lofty structures. From the outside, the palace did not look like a place for humans to live in. It has less ostentatious luxuries, but its magnificent atmosphere made it feel like a giant’s temple.

The reason why the palace building was built so grand was that it was never built for humans but for dragons.

In the middle of the main hall of the palace, a petite young girl sat on the throne. Her serious face carried sadness as she kicked her little feet and looked at the ministers, “You guys should think of something for me. Drexler is currently visible at the eastern coastline. The mouth of the sea has already been encroached upon by him and his followers. Even the fishermen on shore are afraid of going to the sea to fish. If this continues, many problems will arise.”

The young girl on the throne was small and cute. She had long silver-colored hair and a face that looked like fragile porcelain. She was wearing a gorgeous royal dress inlaid with a dazzling array of precious metal and jewels. The crown on her head looked complex and magnificent. Anyone could tell that it was a joint work by dwarven and elven master craftsmen.

The little girl bit her moist lips and gazed tearfully at her own supporters.

The ministers who tried to give relief to the queen’s worries were all old people. Even the youngest looked like a middle-aged man. These ministers were all drowsy and were not in a rush after seeing the girl’s anxiety. They looked as if the Obsidian King Drexler’s threat was not a matter of concern.

“Chancellor, tell us what should be done!”

The queen on the throne saw no one speak up, and in her eagerness, she directly called out names.

A wise-looking old man dressed in a gorgeous robe stepped forward. He looked up at the queen on the throne and sighed, “Your Majesty Heloise, against the Obsidian King Drexler’s army of dragons, it is impossible to resist with just the power of one country in the main continent.”

“If we want to defeat hundreds of dragons, we need to have every race fight together, but this is impossible to do. We can summon the demons and devils from the Bottomless Abyss and the Nine Hells of Baator, but we would need a large number of them to win. Moreover, doing so would turn us into the public enemy of the main continent and cause us to be crushed by all other races.”

“So, with our current power, it is impossible for us to defeat Drexler. Besides, Drexler has come prepared this time. Behind him, there is the presence of several gods, which makes it difficult to solve things. Still, this Obsidian King is quite admirable to be able to gather so many dragons to act at the same time. The only other exception was the Dragon God from ancient times.”

The old man said unhurriedly. At the end of his speech, he even praised the behavior of the Obsidian King.

Dragons were unruly and solitary creatures. Except for couples, they rarely formed groups, even if those dragons were followers of the Obsidian King. However, the Obsidian King was able to bring them all together. Even those who were dormant at different times had now unified. This boldness was truly admirable.

In the palace, the old ministers looked like senile old men, but each was extremely wise. The average person may not sense it, but if true gods descended, they would find out that the old men were all dragons. Moreover, anyone who could see how strong they were would know that there were elder dragons.

Additionally, the chancellor and another middle-aged woman were beyond elder dragons. They were ancient dragons!

If the gods were not present, just the dragons in this hall alone would be enough to destroy a principality.

The petite girl on the throne was none other than the Mythril King Heloise. She was extremely famous among dragons and the people of the main continent, yet few people had seen her.

It could be said that the real names of the Obsidian King and the Mythril King were known only to a few. Most only knew them by their titles.

The dragons on the main continent were divided into three factions.

The gentle faction led by the Mythril King could be called the good faction. They advocated a gentle means of intervening in the history of the main continent. They tried to get along with humans and other races, sometimes even helping out. They had even changed the impression of races like giants and spirits. Of the three factions, they were the smallest in number. Most of them were gold dragons, silver dragons, bronze dragons, and other relatively gentle metal-based dragons. There were only some of the more wise older dragons.

It was because of the existence of these older dragons that this faction could compete with the radical factions.

The radical faction was led by the Obsidian King and could be called the evil faction. They advocated violence, evil, killing, fear, and other means to rule the main continent. They made other races terrified of dragons and gained benefits through evil means.

This faction was dominated by black dragons, red dragons, green dragons, and other color dragons. There were also many young dragons who were arrogant and fearless. As a result, this faction was extremely aggressive, which made the people of the main continent afraid of them. It could be said that the bad reputation of dragons came from them.

The last faction was the most prominent faction and also the neutral faction. These dragons had typical dragon characteristics. They were not interested in making friends with other races or taking over the world. They were a group that was satisfied with their own territories where they were kings. They were generally water dragons and elder dragons who lived on Dragon Island. They simply did not want to get too involved with strife in the main continent.

The Mythril King was the representative of the good dragons and the Obsidian King was the representative of the evil dragons, but no matter which faction, they placed the interests of the dragon race as their highest priority.

“Chancellor, are you saying that we should only wait for our deaths?”

The Mythril King glared at the chancellor.

“Your Highness, this is not what I mean. Even if Drexler gathers more dragons, he can’t really wipe us out. Although that guy is abominable, he has an unusually open-minded empathy and recognition for those of the same race. Even if you fall into his hands, he would not endanger your life, so Drexler isn’t that scary. The truly scary ones are the gods behind him.”

“Your Majesty, I suggest we quickly escape and return to Dragon Island. Do not let the gods take advantage of the opportunity. Even you don’t want to become some church’s guardian dragon, right? Ah, maybe the gods would even breed you with other dragons to give birth to baby dragons or something.”

The bronze dragon was serious, but his words were full of malicious ridicule, so the Mythril King’s face reddened with shame.

“Chancellor, are you saying that I should give up on this country? No, I can never do that. I have spent more than a thousand years building this country. I absolutely cannot give it up when I’m about to succeed!”

The Mythril King gritted her teeth and shook her head like a capricious child.

“Haha! Father God, listen, it took this female dragon more than a thousand years to build a country like this. It’s really stupid!”

Just at that moment, another delicate voice came from the empty and wide hall.
