"Older Sister, are we going to start the plan as soon as we wake up?"
Before falling into slumber, Gris asked.
Jona Velli thought for a moment.
"Otherwise? Do you want to stay hidden until you reach your Prime Age?"
One must know that dragons reach adulthood at a hundred years old, and after 800 years, they enter their Prime Age.
A 3,000-year-Old Dragon is an Old Dragon, and after 8,000 years, they become Very Old Dragons. Reaching the stage of a Very Old Dragon is a watershed moment.
If they pass it, they reach the Ancient Dragon level and become Demigods; if they don't, they simply die of old age. This is the rule of this world, a limiter on the power of dragons.
Only special individuals with extremely strong cultivation talent and high enough bloodlines might break through to Demigod status during their old age stage.
Seeing Gris fall silent, Jona Velli was puzzled.
"What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind?"
Gris's gaze darkened.
"Yeah, I suppose I do. After becoming a Legend, I have something to deal with."
Seeing Gris like this, Jona Velli thought for a bit and then spoke.
"Do you need my help?"
Gris shook his dragon head.
"No, I want to solve this matter myself. I won't trouble you."
Hearing this, Jona Velli didn't pay it much mind, treating it as just a little secret of Gris's.
"Alright then."
Gris lowered his dragon head and remained silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, he looked up at Jona Velli, his dragon mouth opening and closing as it trembled a few times, before he spoke.
"Older Sister, thank you. I'm very grateful to you for taking me in back then. If it weren't for you and Second Sister, a weak Young Dragon like me might have died long ago. So... I'm very grateful to you. I really am grateful to both of you."
Gris's eyes were serious and his expression resolute. Jona Velli gave a little shudder.
'Why does this feel a bit embarrassing?'
"Eww~ what's with you, suddenly saying such mushy things."
Gris gave a faint smile.
"It's nothing. I'm just afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't get the chance."
"What do you mean?"
"After all, it's still too embarrassing. I feel like once I grow up, I'll never be able to say it again. Haha~"
"You guy, really."
The white dragon tail gave Gris a nudge, yet she didn't notice the flash of killing intent and determination in Gris's eyes.
Friel, who was nearby, also spoke up at this time.
"Jona Velli, after we wake up, wait for me."
"Ah? What are you up to now?"
Friel didn't explain much.
"You'll find out later. No need to worry."
"Why are you two both starting to talk in riddles? Forget it, I don't care about you guys anymore. I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, Jona Velli lay down her dragon body and closed her eyes.
The other the two dragons followed suit.
During the days the Three Dragons were in slumber, the White-Scaled Goblin and the dwarves hit it off immediately. they discussed the knowledge and technology they possessed without reservation and benefited greatly.
Just like that, the first "Industrial Revolution" began.
White Crystal City began to vigorously develop alchemy and machinery.
All sorts of alchemical creations emerged, most of which inherited technology from the ancient era and integrated it with modern techniques.
The leader of the White-Scaled Goblin, Blockhead, was the main person in charge.
At first, many dwarves had objections, but Blockhead successfully conquered them with his knowledge and skill, making them thoroughly convinced.
However, at Jona Velli's request, they did not alter the architectural style of White Crystal City.
Not only that, under the unified efforts of the three Dependents—Little Shunzi, Daru, and Kailuo—they began to train more White Crystal Knights and monster Dependents.
Now, they had become strong enough to convert monsters into White Crystal Knights themselves, though they were not as strong in various aspects as the Dependents converted by Jona Velli and the others.
