Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 509 - 63 Controversy

As the Dragon Nest Tribe develops, various industrial goods produced by the tribe are gradually spreading toward the borders near the Dragon Nest Tribe, influencing nearby areas through trade.

The large bottle of liquor in the elderly white dragon’s hand is clearly one of them.

These liquors are estimated to be among the goods traded when the Seventh Stronghold City explored the Dolan Glacier Plateau with the indigenous intelligent beings.

It is apparent that money is meaningless to the intelligent beings living on the Glacial Plateau.

Food, liquor, clothes, and other daily necessities tend to function as currency instead.

By exchanging goods, the Dragon Nest Beastmen employ the local intelligent beings to guide them in exploring the surrounding terrain, while enticing these indigenous beastmen of the glacier with affluent lifestyles to approach the Dragon Nest Tribe, eventually assimilating them, thereby strengthening the tribe’s own power and intensifying the exploration of the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

This is probably the plan proposed by the beastman consultants during the expansion of the Seventh Stronghold City.

Since several years ago, Austin has essentially put down the miscellaneous affairs of the Dragon Nest Tribe, so he’s not very clear about the details of the Seventh Stronghold City’s exploration of the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

However, seeing Dragon Nest Tribe’s goods here clearly indicates those beastmen are doing well.

In a place as deep as the Dolan Glacier Plateau, the commodity economy of the Dragon Nest Tribe has begun to infiltrate.

We can imagine that in other areas within the Kawa Great Forest still untouched by the Dragon Nest Tribe’s governance, and even on the outskirts of the Kawa Great Forest, in Pioneer Cities where humans are encountered, this infiltration of commodity economy will likely be even more profound, with various products thriving and subtly eroding other places like a gentle spring rain.

This form of invasion is evidently good news for the Dragon Nest Tribe.

This type of invasion stemming from cultural aspects is clearly more concealed.

Along with these goods, many ideas related to the Dragon Nest Tribe are being spread. Once the great war begins and the Dragon Nest Tribe expands outward again, these seemingly inconspicuous things might reduce the people’s resistance to Dragon Nest Tribe’s rule to some extent.

The liquor drunk by the elderly white dragon is just a minor episode.

White Dragon Casares quickly calmed the old white dragon down and then settled Austin and the group in the gathering point, subsequently convening a meeting of all adult white dragons present to discuss the fate of the Dolan White Dragons.

The meeting was not peaceful.

Even from outside, Austin could hear the intense arguments and angry roars.

It wasn’t anger from the other white dragons due to Casares serving Austin for fifty years, but rather the truth Casares uncovered: the Frost Giant Race dared to use their ancestors’ remains as sacrifices to awaken their race’s Ancient King.

The desecration of ancestral remains has enraged all the white dragons.

However, from Austin’s perspective, it’s just impotent anger.

A century ago, the rulers of the Dolan Glacier Plateau were the Dolan White Dragons who had lived there for unknown years. Yet, the overly comfortable lifestyle dulled their ambition, leading them to be defeated repeatedly despite having advantages, and ultimately losing their dominant position and being forced out.

This is something that goes beyond mere incompetence.

The Giant Dragon Race, driven out of their habitat by a group of Frost Giants, is nothing short of a joke.

Even the Dolan White Dragon Race wouldn’t dare speak about this openly to others.

It’s uncertain if even the Sacred Land of all dragons in the Seta Great World, Celestial Dragon Island, is aware of this.

Anger is anger.

Yet the remaining Dolan White Dragon Race is extremely divided over the next strategy.

Some white dragons believe that under current circumstances, it’s best to contact the dragon race’s Sacred Land, Celestial Dragon Island. The Frost Giants’ actions have violated the taboos of all Dragon Race, and with personalities from Celestial Dragon Island involved, the Frost Giants will surely be doomed.

Some white dragons think that this is an internal affair of the Dolan Race and should not involve outsiders. Frankly speaking, it’s too shameful and embarrassing to face other races.

Casares hasn’t revealed Austin’s intention to test the Ancient King of Frost Giants’ strength, but the meeting has become chaotic.

But from the reactions of the Dolan White Dragons,

they are afraid!

Originally, when Frost Giants rampaged through the Dolan Glacier Plateau, Casares contacted one by one the surviving white dragons clinging to life on the Dolan Glacier Plateau to form this gathering point to counter the Frost Giant threat.

Under survival pressure, the solitary nature of white dragons forced them to band together for warmth.

Perhaps within the Dolan White Dragon Race, there are proud individuals who adhere to the Dragon Race’s arrogance, but those individuals have likely died in the wars against the Frost Giants.

The remaining ones, through years of dodging and hiding, have become what the Dolan White Dragons once called cowards.

But precisely because of this, they have survived the cruel hunt of the Frost Giants.

After nearly a century of defeat, the remaining Dolan White Dragons clearly have a natural fear of Frost Giants.

This is really hard to articulate.

Even the proud Dragon Race has moments when it fears other creatures.

But it’s the truth.

In such circumstances, if Casares informs them of Austin’s plan, will it cause chaos in the entire gathering point?

For a moment, White Dragon Casares felt quite troubled.

The chaos within the Dolan White Dragon meeting doesn’t have much impact on Austin.

At this moment, in human form, he has already explored the entire simple gathering point.

By Dragon Race standards, this gathering point is considered quite poor, and the young dragon generation living here vaguely exudes a feeling of "malnutrition."

Of course, this malnutrition is not what it seems.

No matter how much they fail, dragons remain top predators, never lacking in food. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The real scarcity is in magic resources.

In the growth phase of young dragons, progressively unlocking the Legendary Laws within their bloodline isn’t without cost; sufficient magic resources must be ingested, otherwise even upon reaching adulthood, they cannot truly awaken the Legendary Laws.

Originally, young dragons wouldn’t have such worries.

With the power of a mature dragon at a Legendary Level, collecting magic resources, which are enormous for ordinary Gold and Silver, is a trivial matter.

But unfortunately, the Dolan White Dragons living here now are the defeated ones of the Dolan Glacier Plateau.
