I, The Dragon Overlord-Chapter 558 - Sitting Atop the Clouds and Making Strategic Moves

After more than fifty years of development, Dragon City’s palace had grown extremely huge. A large area of the mountains had been incorporated into the palace and connected by spells.

Ultimately, today’s Dragon City was no longer a city, but the huge capital of a kingdom that occupied the south of the continent. The territory was naturally magnificent.

The Dragon Kingdom was a multi-racial country, thus it had some similarities with the Elven and Dwarven kingdoms. The ruler was a dragon, so it was not like human kingdoms whose rulers changed every few years. The queen also did not need to leave an heir like human kingdoms.

It could be said that the Dragon Kingdom and the Silver Moon Kingdom were ruled by only one person, Alexia, who was one of the most powerful beings on the main continent.

Aurora followed behind Sisna and carefully surveyed the huge palace complex. Aurora did not feel much apprehension at its magnificence as the Subila Kingdom’s palace was similarly opulent. As the inheritance of a thousand-year-old empire, its majesty was not inferior to Dragon City’s palace.

But in the palace, Aurora saw a lot of elven maids which not even the Subila Kingdom had.

“Ha, I could smell the scent of a dragon from a distance. So it’s His Highness’ daughter and a silver dragon.”

Just as Aurora looked around the palace, a lazy voice echoed. When she looked at the source of the voice, she saw a red-haired lady leaning against a pillar and gawking at her.

The other party emitted a powerful dragon scent, and just by this alone Aurora knew who she was.

“Lady Noella!”

Aurora and Agnes, the silver dragon following behind her, had not said a word since arriving in the palace. They both bowed respectfully to the lady in front of them.

She was none other than the Queen of Calamity who ravaged the Seven Kingdom Alliance a thousand years ago only to be schemed against by the Goddess of Darkness.

In the palace of Dragon City, there was a thick and powerful draconic aura. For Agnes, she could not help but feel in awe, so even proud dragons were careful and cautious in this palace.

Twenty years ago, after Louie solved the crisis of his divine authority, he had prepared to go north to help Noella find her body, but before he could act, the Goddess of Darkness had found it and returned Noella’s body to her.

As a result, Louie became aware of some secrets, such as the connection between the lich that took Noella’s body and Shae. Knowing that Shae did not fall meant that the lich had a close relationship with her.

Moreover, in the 54th year of the Dragon God Era, the position of the God of Death still hadn’t been taken. There are several death-related demigods who were competing and the lich that Shae had a connection with was one of the competitors. It’s likely that Shae’s next big move was this lich.

The reason why Shae returned Noella’s body directly was that she was afraid that Louie would go find that lich. If Louie had casually killed the demigod lich, Shae’s plan would fail and she could not even cry about it. In order to prevent Louie and the lich from meeting, the Goddess of Darkness took the initiative.

Louie had promised to help Noella retrieve her body, and this promise was now considered kept. Louie did not have an interest in ‘death’ so it was better to leave things as they were.

The divine authority of death in the world of San Soliel was not a bringer of death as what most people on Earth would believe if they heard it. The divine authority of death in this world was the manager of the Underworld and the dead people.

Therefore Louie had no conflicts with the divine authority of death and had no use for it, so he did not care at all. He sat high up on his throne and watched several demigods supported by their respective gods as they fought for their lives.

Although there were demigods of death who sought Louie’s support, Louie felt that now was not the right time to play around, so they were also sent away.

Now that Noella had regained her own flesh, she was no longer a shadow dragon that was despised by the dragons. She was once again back as a red dragon and had reached legendary rank once more after twenty years had passed.

Legendary rank dragons were stronger than the legendary rank of the general races. This was because they had a high profession rank as well as a powerful dragon body.

After that, Louie took a trip to the Astral Realm to find a corpse of a god. After taking the divinity from one, he gave it to Noella, to help her in a path towards becoming a demigod dragon.

Now, Louie was a complete chess player. He rarely took action by himself and only sat on his throne while using his authorities to play around.

When the gods were asleep, many powerhouses had to look for divinity on their own. With how hard it was to find divinity, many legendary rank powerhouses did not have the chance to become demigods, but now that the gods had awakened, as long as a legendary rank powerhouse had faith in their god, they would be able to obtain divinity from them. Once they comprehended the divinity, they could become demigods depending on their luck.

It could be said that the overall power level of San Soliel was gradually rising. Although it could not compare to the peak of the Era of the Gods, it was starting to return back to those days. Strong people were increasing in numbers, and ranking up was easier compared to the past. The mage profession had also become a regular profession.

No matter what the past had been, Noella was now a believer in the Dragon God and had received the Dragon God’s favor and gifts. Toward Louie’s bloodline, the noble Queen of Calamity gave an affirmation and glanced at Sisna, “Her Majesty Alexia is waiting for you inside the palace. Head on over there… As for the little silver dragon, you should come with me.”

“As a dragon, you need to register when you come to Dragon City. You haven’t registered yet, right? The city is Her Highness Alexia’s territory, and she is a dragon. For dragons like you who didn’t register when entering the city, you would not be able to cry out for justice even if you’re slaughtered.”

Noella examined the silver dragon Agnes and revealed a nasty smile, “Seeing your fine skin, your scales should be able to make a few pieces of dragon-scale armor. Your dragon blood can also be used as materials for mages, and your bones could also be made into weapons. Like this, your entire body is truly a treasure.”

Noella’s words caused Agnes to tremble in fear. She wanted to say that Noella was also a dragon and her body was a treasure, but under Noella’s venomous gaze, she did not dare say anything and could only obediently follow her.

Now, Agnes did not think of eating good food anymore. She only hoped that she could walk out of this place alive. For a silver dragon to be caught by a red dragon was not a good thing. The only fortunate thing here was that Noella was female, otherwise, Agnes would suspect that she would lose her virginity.

However, she thought about the most horrifying record of the Queen of Calamity. She thought with horror that this red dragon would have made her pregnant with that strange spell.

Agnes was taken away by Noella, but neither Sisna nor Aurora paid any attention to this little scene. Aurora took a deep breath as she watched the huge metal doors in front of her open slowly under the operation of the soldiers on guard. Golden light spilled out causing Aurora to subconsciously close her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the queen sitting majestically on the highest ‘throne of jewel’ in all its golden splendor!
