Now that he was sure that the golden dragon was not an enemy, Fangzheng was finally relieved. He then told the golden dragon about the danger he sensed at the banquet. When she heard what Fangzheng said, the golden dragon frowned and showed a distressed expression.
"You said you felt that you'd be in danger at this banquet? Hmm … I finally understand why you brought so few people this time …. "
The golden dragon did not care much about Fangzheng's "cowardice". The values of dragons were different from those of humans. No one was willing to die if they could live. Unless the other party attacked them or tried to plunder the treasures in their nests, most dragons preferred to stay in their nests and sleep rather than go out to cause trouble.
After all, dragons knew better than anyone that the higher they jumped, the faster they would die ….
"But …. Here? The Holy City? If you weren't a Chrono Dragon, I'd really think you were messing with me. Who would have the guts to make a move here …. No, wait, there really is …. "
"Do you have any clues?"
"Of course."
When she heard Fangzheng's question, the golden dragon patted her chest proudly.
"I'm the protector of the Kingdom of the Saints, after all. I know what's going on here. The entire Holy City is surrounded by the Goddess's protective barrier. At least the minions of Chaos can't get in. I think it's more likely that they're the followers of the Demon King of Hell who would come to my territory to cause trouble, but do they really have the guts to do so? If they dare to come to the Holy City and cause trouble, I'll go to Hell to have a cup of tea with their boss tomorrow …. Even if they want to break the contract, they can't break the contract like this …. "
"Break the contract?"
Fangzheng was stunned when he heard the new term that came out of the golden dragon's mouth. The golden dragon waved her hand.
"Oh, you don't know yet, but when the Goddess created the world, she didn't create it alone. As the saying goes, where there's light, there's darkness, there's good, there's evil, there's life, there's death …. Everything is part of the Order. Therefore, from the very beginning, the Goddess had signed an Order Contract with the other gods and demon kings, stipulating that everyone must act according to the Order. In short, the stability of the Order was paramount, and any actions that jeopardized the stability of the Order must be stopped. The Holy City is not only the core of the Country of Saint, but also the pillar of the entire continent's order. If they make a mistake in the Holy City, they'll be in big trouble! "
"That's why ….. that fallen Saint Knight ….."
Fangzheng stared blankly. Then, he recalled the story about the Saint Knights that he had heard. On the other hand, the golden dragon maiden let out a sigh.
"Although it wasn't under my jurisdiction at that time, I also knew about this matter. Frankly speaking, that mortal was indeed quite pitiful, but who asked him to side with Chaos? It'd be better for him to side with the demon king of hell than with Chaos. At least the Goddess Enchantment wouldn't stop him. But who asked him to be contaminated with the power of Chaos and end up going crazy? Sorry about that. The stability of the Order is the top priority. No matter what grievances you suffer, you must never allow Chaos to destroy the core of the Order …. So …. Anyway, it's not my problem. Let the mortals handle it themselves. "
"…"
Fangzheng was completely speechless. So, the reason why the Saint Knight leader couldn't enter the Holy City was because he chose the wrong side ….
But …
"Are you sure that Chaos and the demon king of hell won't join forces? When I was in the Dark Swamp … Didn't the cultists cooperate with the Chaos Lord to attack the North? "
Although Fangzheng didn't pay attention to the follow-up investigation of that incident, considering the situation at that time, it didn't seem like the demon king of hell took advantage of the Chaos Lord's attack on the North to fish in troubled waters. Instead, it seemed more like an alliance between the two sides.
"That's hard to say."
At the mention of this, the golden dragon revealed a bitter look.
"I've sent people to investigate, but there aren't any clues so far. That's why I say that mortals will always be mortals. They can't even do such a simple thing …. But don't worry, if there's really no other way, just stay by my side. I have the horn given to me by His Majesty Bahamut. If anything happens, I can summon it immediately. By the way, if we're really in danger and I rescue you, remember to propose marriage to His Majesty Bahamut!"
As she spoke, the golden dragon extended her right pinky finger with a cheeky smile.
"Come, let's make a pinky promise!"
"…."
Fangzheng couldn't help but fall into silence as he gazed at the pinky finger extended in front of him.
Was his own life more important? Or was his virginity more important?
The answer was, of course, unquestionable.
"Then I …."
"The leader doesn't need your protection at all."
But before Fangzheng could finish his words, Hecate, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stepped in between Fangzheng and the golden dragon. Hecate held her staff and stared coldly at the golden dragon in front of her.
"As long as I'm here, the leader will never come to any harm. You don't need to intervene!"
"We're adults talking. Why are you interrupting, kid? You're not a dragon."
The golden dragon pursed her lips as she glanced at Hecate. Her reaction was normal. Among the dragon race, be it the lawful and kind Metal Dragons, the evil Five-coloured Dragons, or the neutral dragons like the Power Dragons, the Crystal Dragons, or the Time Dragons, they all tacitly agreed on one rule: only marriages between members of the same race were considered marriages. Even if a dragon of other races had feelings for another race and slept with a dragon, it would not be a problem. In fact, female dragons did not restrict male dragons from seeking out women of other races. Many times, female dragons would even urge the male dragons to take the initiative.
The reason was simple. After all, no one was born with the ability to have sex. The dragon race also knew how to enjoy it. For female dragons, an experienced partner who knew how to make them happy was obviously better than a virgin who didn't even know where to put his feet after getting into bed.
So for the female dragons of the Dragon Tribe, things like "How are you so familiar with this? How many times have you kissed her?" weren't a problem at all. Instead, things like "You don't even know how to do this, and you still want to be my spouse? You're just a raw melon egg. Haven't you found women of other tribes to practice with before coming here?" were the more likely to cause problems.
Therefore, the first marriage between dragons could be said to be a psychological problem for many male dragons. At best, it would result in hundreds of years of conflict between the husband and wife. That was not bad, but it was normal for the male dragon to be slapped to death by the female dragon.
Of course, only the Five-coloured Dragons could do such a thing.
"No matter what, I'll protect the leader. I don't need you at all."
Hecate's voice was not loud, but it was firm. When she heard Hecate's answer, the golden dragon snorted softly.
"Tsk, I'm just making a suggestion. I'm a Gold Dragon, not a Green Dragon. I won't take advantage of someone when they're down … But …"
With that said, the golden dragon looked at Fangzheng again.
"Why don't you think about it? I'm about the same age as you, and I can already bear children! At the same time, I'm confident in my looks. Since you don't have a partner, I should have priority! "
"No need!"
"Sigh …."
Fangzheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw Hecate and the golden dragon girl at loggerheads.
