Chapter 191

In the early morning, a boy looking around twelve or thirteen years old floated half a meter above the ground, flying through the streets of Varianthi, curiously observing everything around him. Wherever he passed, all humans who saw him showed a look of awe, promptly stepping aside.

Many humans, upon seeing Muria, knelt down in worship, loudly hailing, "Lord Golden Dragon!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the boy merely nodded slightly, then flew past with an indifferent expression. He did not dislike others worshiping him. On the contrary, he was quite accustomed to other beings kneeling before him, showing a posture of submission.

As Muria flew past, those humans he had nodded to got up from the ground with joy, boasting to those around them with pride.

"Lord Golden Dragon just nodded at me!"

"What's there to be proud of? That esteemed lord just responded to me too."

"Truly the legendary kind and powerful Golden Dragon, so merciful."

"So benevolent! Such a powerful being actually deigned to glance at us."

...

Hearing the discussions behind him as he flew, Muria showed a wry smile. Now, in the city of Varianthi, he was known by everyone.

Yesterday, the Golden Dragon Lady Caslana found him because they went to inspect the ruins of Marquis Mendoza's castle. Thus, the two dragons flew ostentatiously over Varianthi, seen by many of the city's residents. Of course, this was not what made Muria famous in this city.

What really increased Muria's fame was Caslana being mistaken by the Dawn Church for a Dragonvein Sorcerer, which led to a high priest receiving him and the Cardinal Felix apologizing for the mistake.

In the temple district of Varianthi, where the temple of the Dawn God is the largest, when Caslana brought Muria out, it already attracted the attention of all nearby temples and citizens coming to pray.

And the scene of the Cardinal, in bright red robes, bowing to the boy standing in the void, shocked everyone. Then, Muria's existence began to rapidly spread throughout the city, becoming well-known to almost everyone.

This boy became a figure capable of making a Cardinal of the Dawn Church bow, defining Muria's identity for everyone who saw it.

Because of his distinctive appearance, even a simple description allowed everyone who saw him for the first time to recognize him instantly. A handsome boy with black hair and golden eyes, wearing a black robe, flying... too easy to recognize.

Reflecting on these discussions, Muria couldn't help but recall the events of yesterday. In the end, he avoided the Cardinal's apology, feeling partly responsible himself, so he didn't accept it, nor did he let the Cardinal continue to apologize.

But Caslana was still unsatisfied. In the end, Cardinal Felix proactively offered to use wealth to express the Dawn Church's apology, and the Golden Dragon Lady readily agreed.

Treasure is the best way to quell a dragon's anger, without a doubt.

The wealth used by the Dawn Church for compensation wasn't ordinary gold or silver, which are precious to humans, but meaningless for beings of spirit like them. Instead, they use various elemental energy crystals, not gold, silver, or jewels, which are merely decorative to them.

Thus, the Dawn Church's compensation was fifty squares of fire elemental energy crystals. These crystals are now lying in Muria's spatial ring, and the Golden Dragon Lady Caslana didn't take a single crystal for herself.

In her words, helping the offspring of someone she worshipped and taking care of a younger brother of the same race was only natural. Most importantly, Caslana wanted cute dragon babies...

Recalling yesterday's events, Muria fully understood how a gold dragon, especially one with a significant background and exceptional strength, could thrive in human kingdoms.

Metal dragons, due to their rarity, are particularly united. Offending one metal dragon is equivalent to offending a group of them.

A group of metal dragons, whose individual strength on average far exceeds that of the five-color dragon clans, is a force that anyone would have to consider carefully before opposing.

As Muria pondered the status of metal dragons in human kingdoms, he heard a mix of women's screams and men's curses coming from the direction ahead on the street.

"Ah, there's a hooligan..."

"Ah, so handsome..."

"This physique, I'm drooling."

"Scoundrel!"

"Shameless fellow."

"Where did this bastard come from..."

...

Muria looked up and saw a sight that was hard to look at. An attractive middle-aged man with flowing khaki hair and a neatly trimmed black beard was rushing towards him, his bare feet slapping against the ground.

As he passed, young women covered their eyes and screamed, while men cursed loudly.

After the screams, some girls of a certain age secretly peeked through their fingers at the handsome middle-aged man who seemed to be running from something.

Older women openly stared with an infatuated expression, angering their husbands who scolded loudly...

The handsome middle-aged man, bare-chested, revealed his muscular chest and abs, showcasing his robust physique.

As for his lower half, it was covered only by a white sheet with worn marks, which fluttered as he ran, revealing his muscular thighs. It seemed he wore nothing but the sheet.

"Excuse me, young man, please make way. My son is about to catch up to me." The middle-aged man, apparently in the midst of streaking, showed no surprise at seeing Muria floating, but instead looked anxious, as if seeing Muria as just another boy in his way.

"Ha!" Muria's expression darkened at such unrestrained behavior. This was the first time he had encountered someone daring to streak in public in this world, where such open-mindedness was not common.

"Crackle!" Muria extended his hand, golden arcs of electricity dancing in his palm, just as he was about to reprimand this public morality violator.

Then, from the sky, "Whoosh!" a sound of something heavy falling neared, not aimed at him but at the streaking middle-aged man.

"Boom!" A large stone, tracing an elegant arc through the air with a booming sound, landed precisely on the running middle-aged man.

"Ah!" Under Muria's speechless gaze, the middle-aged man screamed in "pain" as his upper body was smashed into the paved ground, leaving only his bare legs exposed.
