Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 198 Corrosion
Late at night, the bright moon of the Moon Girl was already hanging in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight was splashing on the majestic and vast royal court like running water, as if it had fallen from the sky and descended on the temple on the top of the mountain, mysterious and majestic.

There is a world of difference between them, even though they are separated by a wall.

In that magnificent palace, there were clinking glasses, clinking bowls and plates, drunken conversations, and the atmosphere was warm and noisy.

But the corridor outside the castle was cold and quiet, and even the night wind was exceptionally cold. On the tops of the mountains, sometimes the cold wind from the sky would blow, and even the dragon's scales would be soaked in the cold, burning the skin beneath the scales.

As a silver dragon, Chrissy Tiana is a cold-loving creature. Her race likes to build nests in the mountains or in the clouds, so they naturally don't feel cold.

The cold chill made Chris feel more comfortable, but her dragon heart was ice-cold.

Locked in a deep corridor by the might and magic of the ancestral red dragon, Chris could not even see the bright moon in the sky, which once represented her noble heart and wishes.

She could certainly drag the chain and crawl out of the overlapping and deep corridors, but she could not bear the humiliation of dragging the chain around like a watchdog.

At this moment, Chrissy Tiana felt as if her spine had been pulled out of her body. She just wanted to lie there without moving.

Looking at the moonlight shining on the flowerbed in the front yard of the castle and the flowers swaying in the breeze, Chris even thought that maybe it would be better for her to be an ignorant flower that did not need to think. Perhaps that would be better than her current situation.

She couldn't understand why there were such savage and arrogant dragons in the world. Just because they offended their dignity and ignored the dignity of the people in the territory, they locked up the noble silver dragon like a slave.

Although silver dragons and gold dragons are kind by nature and often show mercy to weak creatures, this compassion is born out of the fact that they regard the other party as a poor child who needs to look up to them.

In the eyes of the dragons, releasing dragon power to intimidate those races and humans is not a big deal at all, and they did not hurt anyone at all.

Chris couldn't figure out why such a terrifying and powerful dragon was born in the world of Ekania. Even the ancestral golden dragon Obilash, who carried the blood of his ancestors, couldn't face her head-on when he was a teenager.

Because Chris had once severely punished Obirash for his offense, maybe the teenage ancestral golden dragon Obirash was good enough to fight against adult dragons across an entire age group, but in front of Chris, he still seemed much more immature.

Although the terrifying red dragon also had the blood of its ancestors, it was facing three adult dragons. However, it crushed the three adult dragons to the ground with its absolute overwhelming force and stepped on them under its claws.

This was something the three adult dragons could not imagine or accept, especially the silver dragon Chris.

Although Chris did not show her arrogance, she was more proud in her heart than the ancestral golden dragon Obilash, who showed his arrogance on the surface.

Because the title of Silver Dragon Valkyrie is not just boasting, but a title truly earned after many challenges and battles.

Possessing sophisticated combat skills and powerful magical talents, the silver dragon Chris never thinks that she is worse than other dragons. Her targets are those dragons of previous generations that crossed the astral realm and roamed in the endless world, those dragons whose names are well-known even in the astral realm.

But now he has become a captive, a slave who cannot even have freedom.

The fighting skills that she was so proud of were simply inferior to that of the powerful red dragon. The magic talent that she relied on was just a drizzle before the red dragon's mighty power. Her pride was a joke under the other's gaze.

Chris felt that her heart was as cold as the moonlight at this moment. The coldness actually permeated the Silver Dragon's limbs and bones, causing her to lose strength in her limbs. She could only lie powerlessly on the cold stone slab.

She even sought the teachings of the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut in her heart, praying that the great Platinum Dragon God could dispel her inner hesitation and confusion.

Chris also couldn't understand why many silver dragons who enforce justice, show kindness, and help the weak are still trapped in poverty and hardship, while these evil dragons can enjoy the blood and sweat of countless people and live in such luxurious and magnificent palaces to indulge in pleasure.

Even she, the famous silver dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana, would be willing to be the guardian of the arrogant ancestral golden dragon for two thousand gold coins, and accompany Obilash to do stupid things to provoke the dragon group.

Even the luxurious manor of the Golden Dragon Count Mogsa, the father of the ancestral Golden Dragon Obirash, who was famous for his wealth, was far inferior to this magnificent castle. One can imagine how these evil dragons used magic to bewitch and their power to exploit the people of these territories.

"Will the evil of the world eventually prevail over the noble justice? Great Platinum Dragon God, your followers and people, Chris Tiana, pray for your great wisdom!"

After a long time, the Silver Dragon Chris opened her eyes with a look of disappointment. As expected, even a great god like the Platinum Dragon God could not respond to his followers all the time. Perhaps this was related to the fact that the Silver Dragon was only a shallow believer.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Dragon God, this is just a test for me. You must not lose heart, Chris. Your heart should be like the moon in the sky, which cannot be obscured by temporary clouds."

Silver Dragon Chris's wandering heart calmed down temporarily. Even if her prayer did not get the response she deserved, it could make her feel at ease.

"Who's there?"

Silver Dragon Chris twisted her head, her pair of vertical pupils sparkling in the deep corridor. Even though the noisy sounds occasionally coming through the open door in the hall were drowned out by the silver dragon's excellent hearing, she still heard the slight footsteps.

The two bronze dragons lying on the ground on the left side of the castle gate also raised their heads in the soft light and looked in the direction of the silver dragon.

In front of this huge dragon's palace, it should be the safest place in this empire ruled by dragons. Even if the dragons inside are not here, as long as its master is there, this place is the most solid fortress.

However, the silver dragon Chris and the two bronze dragons had no sense of belonging to this place, only hostility, so they were very alert, although they did not realize that by doing so they had become dragon guards guarding the gate.

Tap, tap, tap. In the deep corridor, the sound of the soles of shoes hitting the floor became more and more obvious to the dragon's ears, even though the footsteps were so soft that they were almost inaudible in human ears.

They were a group of beautiful maids, including humans and elves, and each maid was graceful and beautiful.

But what surprised Silver Dragon Chris was that the maids stopped in front of her with precious sandalwood and gold and silver trays carrying many delicious foods, and then spread out a piece of silk cloth with exquisite patterns and placed the delicious foods in front of her one by one. What attracted Silver Dragon Chris more than these delicious foods were the precious gold and silver utensils that looked like works of art, and even the utensils used to hold food seasonings and spices looked like masterpieces carved by masters.

But what surprised Silver Dragon Chris the most was that the chiffon skirts worn by these maids were all woven from the finest silk yarn.

The thin grass-patterned ribbons tied around their waists were inlaid with tiny gold and silver pieces, sparkling even in the dim corridor, highlighting the fair and delicate waists of the maids exposed outside the veil.

The black velvet neckbands they wore on their slender white necks were dotted with gems of different colors in the center, sparkling like the scales of a giant dragon of different colors.

The maid in the lead even had a sparkling, clear ruby inlaid in the center of her neckband. The dazzling light made the scales of the silver dragon Chris pale in comparison.

The silver dragon Chris's gaze lingered on these glittering gems, and it took her a lot of effort to turn her green-glowing pupils to other directions.

"These wealth obtained through evil and bloody exploitation are not worthy of my envy and jealousy. You need to calm down, Chris. You are an elegant and noble silver dragon. You must not fall into the trap of the evil dragon."

Yinlong's throat swallowed saliva unconsciously. She muttered to herself in her heart and finally calmed her hot head.

But the silver dragon Chris couldn't help but ask, "How could that evil dragon, Gogmora, allow you to wear his treasure on your body? This is an infringement on the evil dragon!"

The head maid Charis, who was gently placing the food on the table, suddenly frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and the huge golden cup in her hand fell on the long carpet on the ground with a clang.

"Ms. Silver Dragon, addressing the Dragon Master by his name is extremely disrespectful and rude. Moreover, you have no idea of the Master's generosity and tolerance. These treasures are all gifts from the Master, and this dinner is also specially arranged by the Master to entertain you!"

The head maid, Chariz, stretched out her slender white fingers, straightened the huge golden cup, and spoke lightly.

Silver Dragon Chris was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Generous and tolerant? Just because we offended his majesty, he locked us up here like slaves. Can this be called generosity and tolerance? Letting us be chained and eat on the ground like savages, can this also be called hospitality?"

The head maid Chariz smiled faintly and said softly, "People with different identities will make different choices when faced with a matter."

"If you follow the practices of the great human nobles and kings of the kingdoms in the world, Ms. Silver Dragon, you will be dragged to the guillotine and have your heads chopped off for what you have done, not to mention a Dragon Emperor who is destined to be great."

"As for you, if you can obey the will of the Dragon Lord, you will be free soon. As long as you make contributions that satisfy the Dragon Lord, the Lord is just worried that you will cause damage to the territory."

Silver Dragon Chris snorted and turned her head to the other side. "Take it away. I will not enjoy the blood and sweat that was obtained through evil means."

"What is evil and what is justice?" Head Maid Charizard looked at the silver dragon and her tone became serious.

"When I lived in a noble castle, I also believed in the doctrine of justice and evil, but later I found that the boundaries between many people and many things in the world were originally blurred."

"Look, the residents living in this land are well fed, well clothed, have their own houses and land, their own families and businesses. No one has ever starved to death on this land, as long as he has a pair of hands to work and a pair of feet to walk."

The head maid Chariz laughed, and her charming face radiated a light that made Silver Dragon unable to look directly at her. She said, "And those nobles who claim to be righteous, the residents in their territories are pale and muscular, and they run around all day for a bite of food."

"Even if they spent their entire lives on the land, they still couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes. Their houses were occupied by the nobles, and their wives and children were treated as slaves by the nobles."

"I heard that even in places ruled by noble and benevolent golden dragons, there are still countless displaced persons and refugees. Even so, the taxes collected by those benevolent golden dragons are still not less than those of the nobles."

"Why don't you, the metal dragons who uphold justice and pity the weak, save those weaklings who are trapped by the righteous all day long? Or do you not dare?"

The head maid Chariz's soft eyebrows were as sharp as a blade at this moment, causing the silver dragon Chris and the two bronze dragons to subconsciously avoid this maid who looked like she could be crushed to death with a single slap.

"Ordinary people just hope to have a good weather, good health, peace, freedom from war, and a life of food, clothing, and a stable life. In this land, people can have all of these. Because the taxes set by the dragon group are much lower than those of any country, any region, or any noble in the world!"

"What is the price? The price is countless druids cultivating good seeds, countless pharmacists researching good medicines, countless Pixie elves nurturing plants, countless warriors using steel knives and iron swords, using blood and bones to open up and protect, and even dragons will push the clouds and send down rain, just to better transform this home."

"This is what brought us today. Is this what you consider evil? Is this the villain you should fight against?"

Chariz said in a firm tone, "You are so ashamed of the beautiful scales on your body that shine like moonlight, Ms. Silver Dragon. You are also ashamed of such a long and beautiful life. Even though I am just a small and weak short-lived creature, I can see it more clearly than you!"

Silver Dragon Chris fell silent at this time. She couldn't help but recall that perhaps the great Platinum Dragon God was unwilling to bestow his wisdom because of her short-sightedness.

The two bronze dragons were also silent. They were paranoid dragons that normally would not easily listen to other people's opinions, but at this moment of weakness, they were more likely to fall into a state of reflection.

Chariz stood up from her squatting position and said in a low voice, "Ms. Silver Dragon, if you don't plan to eat these foods, please don't destroy them. They will be sent to the territory tomorrow and given to the helpless elderly and children."

"Although the master enjoys luxury and beauty, he never has the habit of wasting!"

Silver Dragon Chris only felt that the voice in the spacious hall was so far away from her at this moment, so far away that she could not even hear the words inside.

Charlize's voice was like the whisper of a devil, lingering in her ears.

"Great Platinum Dragon God, please give me some inspiration!" Silver Dragon Chris closed her eyes and sighed softly!
