Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 754 - 424_2

Chapter 754: Chapter 424_2
Under the guidance of the academy professor, Nancy walked down from the floating ship and saw the Dragon Academy highly recommended by her grandfather, an academy comprised of floating cloud islands, which indeed was as beautiful as she imagined.
However, according to her communication with her father, it should have been only her brother who came to greet her, yet she saw too many from the Dragon Clan.
Although the brother she had never met was easy to recognize, the dragons around him were too terrifying, unexpectedly including the most malevolent and violent Red Dragon from legend.
Besides the Red Dragon, there were many Metallic Dragon Race dragons, and although most of their gazes were quite friendly, there were some that made Nancy feel quite uncomfortable.
Because she felt those dragons were not looking at her, but at some rare treasure, at some Ascension Stairs, the greed and desire within made Nancy instinctively feel disgusted.
Until she saw her brother come to her and spread his Dragon Wings to protect her, she felt a safety similar to her mother’s but completely different.
The safety her mother gave her had a suppressive quality, with a faint sense of suffocation, but the safety brought by her brother was relaxing and natural.
This totally different sensation made the young dragon Nancy, newly stepping from under her mother’s Dragon Wings, inevitably grow an emotional fervor in her heart.
"Come with me, I have already contacted a very gentle Ancient Silver Dragon elder, I have prepared a Dragon Nest for you near her castle, you can reside there."
Cezer’s understanding was once again reshaped, as he recalled the admonitions and warnings from his father, unlike his previous nonchalance, Cezer now very much agreed with his father’s views.
Moreover, he realized that protecting his sister from some dragons with greed and ulterior motives was a very arduous long-term task and not so easy.
Upon seeing his sister for the first time, Cezer knew that his sister was a very naive and innocent young dragon, she was so well protected or managed that she was too polite, sometimes not knowing how to refuse requests with obvious malice and ill intent.
This was very bad, Cezer had already decided that, in the coming period, he would stay by his sister’s side at all times, never letting any male other than himself approach her, until she had the independence and discernment of an adult Dragon Species.
"Living near the Ancient Silver Dragon professor?"
Even though his father had already instructed her before departure to trust and follow her brother’s arrangements, upon hearing the specific arrangements from her brother, the little one who hadn’t seen much of the world was instantly dumbfounded.
Despite having met her grandfather and realizing that no matter how many ordinary Ancient Dragons were added together, they couldn’t compare to her grandfather, but they were still Ancient Dragons, the symbol and representative status of Ancient Dragons was different for young dragons.
For Upper Dragon Clan, Legendary Dragons may not necessarily be Ancient Dragons, but Ancient Dragons are certainly Legendary Dragons. Only dragons who have lived for eight hundred years can be called Ancient Dragons.
This title symbolizes wisdom and powerful will, many dragons fell for various reasons before becoming Ancient Dragons.
Even if dragons live to eight hundred years, they may not be Ancient Dragons, as there’s a very tough threshold to cross. Before becoming Ancient Dragons, a dragon’s physiological journey follows the basic biological process of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
From shell-breaking hatchling, growing into juvenile, young dragon, adult, after passing the Peak of the Mature Stage, a dragon’s spirit continues to grow, but its physical strength begins to decline, entering aging.
After passing the old age stage and Extremely Old Stage, dragons aged to the extreme conduct a sleep as if crossing age stages from before.
This sleep is different, as it requires challenging the Ancient Dragon’s limit, succeeding allows rebirth from near-death, rejuvenating the aging dragon body, restoring mature vitality, and surpassing the Mature Stage strength.
If failed, then it sleeps forever, marking the end of its eight-hundred-year dragon life.
For lower Dragon Clan, the Ancient Dragon limit is a challenge concerning life and death, for Black and White Dragons, even if they barely become Extremely Old Dragons, less than ten percent can become Ancient Dragons.
But for Golden, Silver, and Red Dragons of the Upper Dragon Clan, they are already Legendary before challenging the limit, their higher realm of senses and understanding allows them to cross the limit with composure and elegance, easily achieving Ancient Dragon status.
Of course, it’s not to say Upper Dragon Clan easily cross the limit, they still need to challenge, and it’s not unheard of for them to fail, although it’s rare.
Therefore, any Ancient Dragon is worthy of respect—except Black and White Dragons, even if they become Ancient Dragons, they’re far from Legendary, weak enough to be laughed at by Dragon Slayers.
"What’s wrong? You don’t like it? Oh, right, almost forgot, you’re not purely a Crystal Dragon, maybe you should be placed near the Ancient Golden Dragon professor."
Cezer realized with an apologetic look, but he soon became conflicted because his sister possesses two opposing attributes, neither Golden Dragon nor Silver Dragon seemed suitable.
"No, I like it very much, but can all academy students live with professors?"
Nancy asked curiously, as she knew the academy only has nine Ancient Dragon professors now.
"Of course not, I specially applied to the academy for it."
"Then do you live next to a professor too, brother?"
"I live like other students, on an island suitable for Fire Attribute Dragon Clan."
"Then I want to live with you, brother. I don’t need special treatment."
"No."
Hearing his sister’s request, Cezer hesitated for a moment, but upon glancing at the nearby Red Dragon Jeddon, he firmly and sensibly refused his sister’s request as a qualified brother.
"Your accommodation is already decided, how can it be changed at will?"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing her brother’s strong tone, Nancy, who was about to ask for equal treatment with other students, softened immediately, following her brother step by step to her accommodation.
After much bustle and hassle, settling his sister’s accommodation and showing her around the academy, familiarizing her with its public facilities and basic courses, Cezer returned to the Dragon Nest still somewhat worried.
"Jeddon!"
Upon returning to his abode, a tired Cezer did not rush to rest but summoned the Red Dragon immediately,
"Sorry, it’s my first time meeting my sister today, you can see that we don’t have the same mother.
Yet even so, she’s my sister, so I will protect her, I won’t let any dragon harm her, do you understand?"
"Understood."
Having been alone all day, Jeddon nodded in a dazed and confused manner, he actually didn’t understand.
Because he had never felt the harmonious and affectionate familial atmosphere and environment of the Metallic Dragon Race, experiences of brothers and sisters getting along, united.
He was a Red Dragon who had nearly starved to death after being robbed of his eggshell by his older sister right after he was born, how could he comprehend sibling unity,
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
The Red Dragon was quite baffled by this point.
"My attitude was a bit irritable today."
Cezer explained.
In fact, the Holy Dragon grandson was somewhat surprised by his reaction today.
"I can understand."
Jeddon had seen the interaction among his fellow Metallic Dragons in the academy, he had felt extremely envious.
"No, you probably find it hard to understand, but I just want to tell you, at the first sight of my sister, I had the strongest desire to protect a dragon."
