"Gordon, did you understand?"

In the early hours of the morning, Galos contacted Gordon through the blood kin network while resting after his workout, and told him about the Divine Dragon Monastery.

Inside the court of the Lotheren Kingdom.

Iron Dragon Gordon shook his tail and said firmly:

"Of course I understand, I’m more than happy to do it."

Every day in the court, besides eating and sleeping, he occasionally spoke with Princess Alina, listening to her frustrations and sharing her thoughts... Although such days were fulfilling and pleasant, they inevitably became a bit dull after a while.

Thinking about how he could contribute to the Ignas Dragon Group and help establish the Dragon Realm from thousands of miles away, Iron Dragon Gordon’s bloodline instincts were activated, and he was filled with fighting spirit.

"However... you know my situation is a bit special."

Iron Dragon Gordon said with a distressed expression, "Can they imitate the dragon’s form through me?"

There are aesthetic differences between different species.

Gordon’s plump dragon body is not seen as ugly in the eyes of humans, even appearing a bit cute and interesting.

But just as humans do not favor their overly obese kindred.

Dragons found Gordon somewhat comical, and he understood this, often wanting to exercise and lose weight, but as a purely ordinary young dragon, he was naturally lazy, unable to overcome desire, seeking comfort, thus never making up his mind.

Besides, each time after a long period of Dragon Sleep, his body would return to normal, so he was even less inclined to tire himself by intentionally dieting.

However, at the moment, Gordon was somewhat worried he couldn’t complete the task.

"It’s fine."

The Red Iron Dragon carefully studied the Divine Dragon Sect’s method recorded in the inheritance and confirmed that being observed in dragon form did not significantly impact the Divine Dragon Martial Monks. Observing the dragon’s form is actually not important; the core purpose is to experience the dragon’s aura up close, and then, with the Divine Dragon Sect’s secret technique, comprehend and awaken one’s own ’dragon’ in the heart.

Here, the dragon is a concept rather than a specific image.

According to the theory of the Divine Dragon path, it is said that everyone has their own dragon in their heart.

Gordon’s physique differs from the normal Iron Dragon, but its dragon aura is unproblematic because, by living indulgently, it had developed ahead of its time, and the dragon aura should be very strong.

Thinking about this, the Red Iron Dragon suddenly asked:

"Gordon, what is your current life level?"

"Not high, not high, only level 13, nothing worth mentioning."

Iron Dragon said it wasn’t high, but there was a bit of pride in his tone.

After hearing this answer, Galos fell silent.

In his previous life, he had heard a saying: Domestic pigs are actually more ferocious and capable of fighting than wild boars.

This saying cannot be applied to dragons, but it holds some truth.

Level 13... Gordon’s life level was already equivalent to a young ordinary Red Dragon, far beyond a normal young dragon.

Even surpassing the more diligent Iron Dragon Solrog and Red Dragon Samantha, only one level lower than Galos.

"No sweat and effort, elevated only by resources, and this lazy guy doesn’t even utilize it properly, doesn’t know how much resource was wasted in between."

"Sitting on a mountain of treasures unaware, if I had his resources, I might have reached level 16 by now."

The Red Iron Dragon felt its claw and tooth itch a little.

Like him, treading on thin ice, eager for growth resources, yet not having enough resources to squander and utilize.

For lucky Gordon, Galos thought, he must find an opportunity to give him a solid... no, more precisely, a brotherly motivational spur to overcome his innate laziness.

"What career path have you chosen?"

Galos changed the topic and asked.

"I’m just a youngling... isn’t a career path something that young dragons consider?" Gordon said, "I don’t have a career yet."

Besides a slightly innate mage level, Gordon only had life level, and if it really came down to a fight, he most likely wouldn’t be a match for Iron Dragon Solrog or Red Dragon Samantha, even if the latter two had lower life levels than him.

"In the Ignas Dragon Group, only you haven’t chosen a career."

Galos said seriously, "Gordon, we dragons have a long lifespan, but it is merely long, not infinite. We don’t need to rush things, but we shouldn’t waste time aimlessly either."

"Otherwise, one day, when you look back at your past in twilight years and recount your dragon life, you will surely regret the laziness of your youth."

"Choose a suitable career path early, it can help you grow faster and make you stronger."

After all, sharing a similar blood, and Galos needed Gordon to do things for him in the south. But the current Gordon was indeed not very useful, needing some motivation.

"Actually, I thought about it before."

Gordon responded, "If I were to choose a career path first, I’d hope to become a Hundred Battle Dragon."

The career inheritance for the dragon race has been refined to be more suitable for the Dragon Race.

The Hundred Battle Dragon path is a traditional warrior path that has been improved to be more balanced, without any particularly prominent strengths, but also without overly weak shortcomings, focusing on ’stability.’

However, unlike ordinary warriors.

Dragons inherently master certain magic-like skills, and the Hundred Battle Dragon excels in combining warrior skills with magic-like skills, essentially resembling a Demon Warrior more.

More than half of the dragon race would consider the Hundred Battle Dragon in their first career choice.

"If so, then work hard in that direction, do not let down your identity and blood."

The Red Iron Dragon said earnestly, "I will eventually go to the Federation, Gordon, then when we brothers meet again, I will check your career progress."

How to check?

It would, of course, be a friendly, restrained spar.

"Ah? My dear brother."

Gordon wanted to say more, but the Red Iron Dragon had already ended the call directly.

"Sigh... let Princess Alina hire an Advanced Warrior to guide my training."

Iron Dragon lay listlessly on the ground, feeling that his leisurely days might be coming to an end.

He had been beaten up by Galos growing up.

Even after many years of separation, Galos’ dominance still existed, occupying a significant weight in Iron Dragon Gordon’s heart.

Besides.

Having seen Galos’ robust, strong body through the blood kin network, he couldn’t help but feel envious and aspiring, so he might as well pressure himself a bit to try to keep pace with the Ignas Brothers.

"And the Divine Dragon Monastery."

"Galos gave me the address, once I’m somewhat prepared, I’ll visit and check it out."

Gordon thought to himself.

With his identity, since he was going to the Monastery, he couldn’t appear too shabby, but not too ostentatious either, and upon the first meeting, he would need to bring something, more or less, to show sincerity and foster relations — a bit of courtly etiquette Gordon learned from mingling with the nobles.

Being able to navigate seamlessly within the court in his dragon identity.

Aside from being Princess Alina’s pet, it also had to do with Gordon’s adept social skills, that rounded, gentle body always made others let down their guard, not finding him fierce but rather affable and amiable.

"The first batch of members in the Monastery were orphans and beggars from various places, sending gold coins and treasures isn’t suitable, and I can’t bear to... I’ll prepare some magic potions, supplements, and advanced food instead."

"Also, I can’t appear overly eager at the beginning towards the Monastery, or else I might attract suspicion, after all, there are quite a few keeping an eye on me."

Gordon pondered an appropriate timing to approach the Monastery.

And when he ceased laziness and earnestly pondered, the brain suppressed the gut, and wisdom gained the upper hand.

Princess Alina is kind-hearted, and there’s always a few days each month she leaves the court to understand people’s conditions in the capital and partake in charitable activities, next time I can guide her to approach the Monastery.

Then.

As a dragon, having curiosity and admiration for the Divine Dragon Martial Monk Monastery practicing imitating dragonform is also quite reasonable, a natural occurrence.

... The general plan took shape in Gordon’s mind.

Next, it was only a matter of waiting for time to pass.

Meanwhile, it was meal time, feeling the hunger in his belly, Gordon swirled his tail to ring the bell, summoning the servants to serve the meal.

"The job conditions for the Hundred Battle Dragon require a significant amount of battle training."

"Then I probably don’t need to diet, being full gives me energy to train."

Gordon was already looking forward to, when he transformed into a charming and powerful form like that of Galos, how majestic it would be.
