The Territory of the Silver Dragons.

Thud. Thud.

Ten Black Dragons had arrived. Surrounding them were the territory’s owners, the Silver Dragons, along with White, Green, Blue, Red, and Golden Dragons who had arrived earlier.

These dragons were part of the expedition to explore the tenth tower, and most were around the same age, roughly 10,000 years old. They were already acquainted with each other, so there was no awkwardness among them.

“Miles Pritani, you’re here?”

“Yeah. Ricardo Ajax, you arrived early.”

Miles, the lead Black Dragon, was greeted by Ricardo, a White Dragon. Both were born around the same time and had developed a close friendship while fighting against destruction.

“I didn’t come early because I wanted to. Grandpa Kellion told us to arrive before the Black Dragons. He said not to lose to them. You know how he is competitive with Grandpa Kaiser? Sigh… it’s exhausting.”

“Just the same for us. If Grandpa Kaiser hears that we lost to the White Dragons, we can’t let him see us that day.”

“Hahaha. You too, huh?”

While they were conversing,

Thud. Thud.

Other dragons started arriving.

Amidst the conversation,

“I wonder who will be the Center this time?”

The conversation topic shifted to who would be the Center of the hatchlings a year from now. Every 1,000 years, the dragons would grant the strongest of the hatchlings the right to lead the others.

The one receiving this authority was called the Center. The role of the Center was short, only 100 years, and since young hatchlings rarely gathered, the Center rarely had to lead.

However, for the proud dragons, whether their hatchlings became the Center was a matter of great importance.

“Obviously, it’ll be Ophelia, the best farmer among the hatchlings!”

The Green Dragons stated.

“What are you talking about?! Have you seen how strong our Perion is?! He started making essence of fire at 500 years old!”

The Red Dragons retorted.

“Our Hakun made essence of water at 499 years old!”

“Hmph! That’s all? Our Nemea made essence of earth at 498 years old!”

Each clan boasted about the strength of their own hatchlings.

But two dragon clans remained quiet: the Black and White Dragons. The Black Dragons had recently heard about Aileen’s miraculous recovery of her Dragon Heart from Kaiser and didn’t have high expectations.

‘We should stay quiet.’

The White Dragons, having heard from Kellion about Ajax losing to the much younger Aileen at 300 years old, remained silent.

They feared mentioning it could lead the black dragons to bring up Ajax’s defeat to Aileen.

Aileen’s magic had already reached the level of adult dragons, so Ajax losing was inevitable, but they couldn’t proudly speak about losing to a dragon 300 years his junior.

Unlike the Black Dragons, who were unaware of Aileen’s strength, the White Dragons knew. This situation arose because Aileen, who wanted to continue as the Black Tower’s administrator, asked Kaiser to keep her strength a secret.

Naturally, Kaiser, being doting on his granddaughter, agreed to Aileen’s request.

Then,

“Hey, Miles. Is your hatchling still whimpering?”

Killa Peten, leader of the Purple Dragons, taunted the Black Dragons, picking a fight.

“What?! Whimpering?! Our Aileen has almost fully healed her Dragon Heart!”

“So what?! She hasn’t fully healed yet. And even if she does, she’s no match for our Pobi!”

“What did you say?! That old geezer Pobi is nothing compared to Aileen when she reaches 500!”

“Pffft! Worry about what happens a year from now.”

“Eek…”

Miles was infuriated by Killa’s words but couldn’t retort.

However,

“Miles, you cruel bastard. Saving this.”

Ricardo, aware of Aileen’s strength, thought Miles was acting to bait Killa and recorded the scene.
