Undoubtedly, the body of a mage is fragile, but with the protection of mighty dragons, especially magic dragons like the Silver Dragons, their magic can be used to its full extent, ensuring their personal safety at the same time.
Elf mages do not fall into this category, mainly because their greatest potential lies in the forests. Soaring into the sky on dragons would actually limit their power.
The Zither Emperor's Twelve Musician Lanes proudly received eleven Silver Dragons as their mounts. Haiyang already had a pair of Snow Dragon Leopards, so she did not need one. The remaining Silver and Black Dragon mages were primarily from the four magical clans of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans. The strongest mages chosen from these clans thus gained powerful steeds. As for Metal Dragons, mages were somewhat unsuitable for them. They needed the collaboration of powerful warriors. A fierce style was most suitable.
