"Do you want to visit my dragon's lair?" Garon said, causing Yuna to show a hesitant and uncertain expression.


She had not left her dragon's lair for a long time, and Garon's sudden invitation left her somewhat at a loss, unsure how to respond.

However, Yuna did not outright refuse. After all, she had invited Garon to her own lair before, and he had quickly accepted.

Seeing her hesitation, Garon added, "Don't worry, the dragon's lair I'm talking about is located in this demi-plane, not far from here. It won't take long to make a round trip."

Garon continued, "Your lair is too spacious, with too few treasures collected, making it hard to believe it belongs to a legendary dragon."

"Come with me, and I'll show you what a legendary dragon's treasury should look like."

"Mountains of magic gems and metals, the sight will astonish you."

After speaking, Garon looked at Yuna, patiently waiting for her answer.

As time ticked by, the magma supported by force flowed heavily. After about two minutes, Yuna finally made up her mind to witness Garon's wealth, saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing Yuna's response, Garon was certain inside.

As the saying goes, one can endure darkness because they have never seen the light.

Once Yuna sees the amount of treasure this 'young dragon' has, she will inevitably compare it with her own and if she could still stay content in her spacious lair, Garon would have nothing to say.

The treasures in Yuna's lair were even less than those of the White Dragon Mother initially.

Although the extreme north glacier was barren and the White Dragon Mother was not powerful, she at least made efforts to gather treasures and hoard gems, accumulating some wealth.

"Let's not delay then, let's go now," Garon quickly nodded.

Yuna was slightly stunned.

"Now?"

"If you have matters to attend to, we can wait," Garon said.

"I don't, I just wasn't mentally prepared."

Yuna swayed her tail, showing a mix of awkwardness and peculiar excitement.

Moments later, the two legendary dragons flew side by side, soaring at high speed in the lava demi-plane's skies.

Garon noticed that Yuna's scales could reflect all colors of light, as if naturally possessing optical invisibility. If she intended to hide, it would be hard to spot her with the naked eye, even elemental glow passed through her body, rendering many detection spells ineffective.

With such stealth capabilities, a force dragon like her would be unstoppable in ambushing enemies.

When Yuna was secretly observing Garon initially, he hadn't detected her true form, only feeling something was amiss and only saw her when she became visible again from her invisibility.

She even managed to deceive legendary spellcaster-level mental powers.

Additionally, Yuna's movement speed could also be very fast due to her influence on the force field.

Though not as fast as Garon's maximum tenfold acceleration state, it was still incredibly fast compared to a normal legendary true dragon's strength.

There is no such thing as a non-extraordinary legendary dragon species.

Time dragons are among the most extraordinary, while force dragons and prismatic dragons also possess exceptional abilities.

After some time, the two dragons had left the area rich in fire elemental energy, arriving at a region where fire and earth elemental energies were more balanced.

At the same time, a towering and majestic volcano appeared before Garon.

This was the most grandiose volcano within a thousand miles and the location of Garon's newly established lair in the lava demi-plane. From the peak of this volcano, one could oversee vast expanses of the land.

"We're here."

Garon looked down at the volcano.

His lair was at the peak, entering through the mouth of the volcano, where the interior had been hollowed out and rebuilt into a lair area, storing his vast wealth.

"So many creatures."

Yuna saw many tribes and clans living on the scorched earth surrounding the volcano.

Blood-flesh creatures were bustling around, entering and exiting the mines, extracting carts of magical metals and gems, then transporting them up a constructed mountain path into Garon's lair.

At this moment, Garon's followers sensed his approach.

They looked up, only to see a silver giant dragon circling above.

Various species of creatures knelt down, expressing their respect to the eternal dragon, and then continued their work under Garon's gesture.

Yuna had already activated her optical invisibility, making herself completely vanish from Garon's followers' sight.

She did not like being seen by lower beings.

Garon folded his dragon wings and descended slowly to the highest point of the volcano, his claws gripping the rugged rocks.

"Enter from here," he said to Yuna, who followed him.

After becoming completely invisible, it was a bit difficult for Garon to detect Yuna's presence through ordinary means and spells, but he could sense the subtle fluctuations of the time stream around him, allowing him to know Yuna's approximate location.

The time stream flows steadily and stably, but it feels different when flowing through living beings compared to when it passes through rocks and plants.

After speaking, Garon took the lead and leaped into his lair through the mouth of the volcano.

From Yuna's perspective, it seemed like Garon had dived into the volcano's magma.

Because through the mouth of the volcano, one could see billowing black smoke and the face-hitting smell of sulfur was a bottomless pit of volcanic magma.

However, Yuna did not hesitate much and also flew in.

As a legendary dragon species, she had a high resistance to elements.

The volcanic magma could not harm her dragon scales, just as she could freely enter and exit the lava river before.

Besides the natural high resistance of her dragon scales, a powerful deflection force field always surrounded Yuna, preventing the magma from touching her scales, as it was deflected by the force field.

Yuna's deflection force field was much more powerful than the protective spells of the same name.

Between the volcano's mouth and the outside world was an invisible confusion spell, which, upon crossing, transformed the expected scene of rolling magma into something entirely different.

Suddenly, the luxurious scene that unfolded before Yuna, who had just passed through the confusion spell, nearly stopped her heart.

What kind of extravagance was this? Countless gold and silver, along with vast amounts of precious magical metals, filled the space in all directions, layer upon layer, making it impossible to discern the depth of these precious metals at a glance, forming a shimmering lake of gold.

In addition, there were magical gems shining with elemental glow mixed among them, emitting enchanting glows.

Garon, who had entered the lair ahead, had already disappeared.

At the same time, the treasure lake below began to move.

Boom! A large amount of gold and silver splashed into the air, falling back down and colliding with other precious metals, producing a crisp ringing sound.

Just as Garon had told Yuna before, he had buried himself in the treasure-formed gold and silver lake, his gigantic dragon body submerged within.

The young force dragon maiden, not well-versed in the world, was dazzled for a long time before she could come back to her senses.

Thump! An elemental gem hit her scales.

Yuna quickly shook her head, trying to calm down and clear her mind.

But no matter what she did, her breath was heavy, staring with extreme envy at the gold and silver lake below.

Before coming here, through Garon's tone, she had understood that Garon must have a considerable amount of treasure stored, so she was somewhat prepared.

But Yuna could never have imagined that it would be enough to bury a gigantic dragon's body!

"He's still just a young dragon." "I'm already a juvenile dragon, but my treasures are nothing compared to his."

Being legendary dragon species, this comparison made Yuna's feelings quite complicated.

Thinking about her own empty lair that could be seen to the bottom at a glance, and then looking at Garon's lair filled with dazzling gold and treasures, she felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped, struggling to breathe.

Seeing Yuna's astonished expression, Garon knew that his seduction plan had already succeeded halfway.

As long as Yuna understood that following him could bring her vast wealth, it would almost be settled.

However, it was unlikely for Garon to directly gift his treasures to Yuna.

"How does it feel?" Garon looked at Yuna and smiled.

Yuna struggled to calm her shocked emotions. Her body, which had become visible again, had dragon scales reflecting the shiny gold and silver luster, beautiful and captivating.

"So, so much gold and gems, far beyond my imagination."

Garon nodded slightly and stretched out his dragon claw to Yuna hovering above, saying, "There's enough space here to accommodate more than one giant dragon's activities."

"Come down and try the feeling of bathing in a gold and silver lake. Trust me, you'll love this sensation."

In this volcano's gold and silver lake, both the depth and dimensions were astonishingly vast. It was formed by Garon transferring all the reserves from the City of Flame Steel and the Stone City Labyrinth, a treasure quantity that even allowed burying himself, a long-held dream of Garon.

It seemed unattainable before, but the harvest from the lava demi-plane was too rich.

Beneath this land, there were magic gem mines everywhere, with a density much higher than in the main material world.

"Can I?" Yuna was slightly startled.

Normally, true dragons are very protective of their wealth, allowing other dragons to see it mostly out of a certain degree of vanity. However, letting other dragons see doesn't mean allowing them to touch.

Garon nodded, looking at Yuna, and continued, "Come on, if you want, you can play here for a while before going back."

If it were Roel, the chromatic evil dragon, Garon would definitely not allow them to touch his treasures.

Because they absolutely cannot control their inner greed, thinking about how to steal his stuff.

But for dragons with Yuna's personality, there's no need to be so cautious.

Moreover, Garon was keen, remembering the quantity of his treasures. Although there were many treasures here, he would notice even if a single gem or gold coin was missing, unlike the White Dragon Mother who didn't realize when her items were swapped.

Letting Yuna feel the touch of these tons of treasures up close would make it harder for her to endure the pitiful collection in her own lair.

On the other hand, after receiving Garon's affirmative response, Yuna's eyes brightened, her head tilted downward, and she folded her dragon wings, descending, then plunged into the gold and silver lake. Her body wriggled a few times, and soon, only a segment of her slender dragon tail was visible outside, swaying, indicating her inner excitement.

In the sound of splashing, Garon swam to the side.

He leaned against the warm volcanic inner wall, quietly watching Yuna.

At this moment, the first time touching so much treasure, even burying herself directly in it, Yuna couldn't help but let out a low, intoxicated moan.

After releasing the deflection force field and coming into close contact, the irregular blocks of precious metals had edges and corners, rubbing against the dragon scales, bringing a comforting pleasure to the dragon, and the omnipresent slight pressure feeling was also unique.

Occasionally, smooth gems slid over her body, making it even harder for Yuna to remain calm.

She burrowed deeper into the gold and silver lake, moving back and forth.

From Garon's perspective, because Yuna didn't sink deep, he could see a bulge moving continuously, occasionally revealing a scale or claw blending with the surrounding color.

After a moment, Yuna's excitement slightly decreased.

Splash! Some gems and gold and silver scattered in the air, drawing beautiful arcs.

A head peeked out.

Yuna only showed half of her head and the tip of her tail, her entire body still buried in the gold and silver lake, looking somewhat cute.

"This feeling is really wonderful."

"Garon, I don't want to leave here."

The muffled voice came from Yuna's mouth.

As she spoke, Yuna turned her head, burying it deeper, only showing half of her dragon horn.

At this moment, Garon was playing with a legendary fire elemental core in one hand. Upon hearing Yuna's words, he showed a smile on his face, his voice deep, "If you like it, you can stay here for a few days, until you're tired of it."

"Ah, but I guess I'll never get tired."

"Compared to your lair, mine is too crude, not worth mentioning."

"I also want a lair like yours."

She didn't desire the lair built in the volcano, but the wealth filling a segment of the mountain.

After speaking, Yuna splashed her head out, looking at the silver giant dragon next to her.

The artistic and magnificent legendary fire elemental core immediately caught Yuna's attention.

"This is the elemental core of the Flame Steel City Lord, right? I've observed it secretly before, it has the same aura."

Noticing her gaze, Garon held up the legendary fire elemental core burning with flames, saying, "Yes, the two legendary elemental giants of the lava demi-plane have been defeated by me, and these are my spoils of war."

After a pause, Garon changed the topic, smilingly asking, "Do you want it?"

Yuna was stunned for a moment, then started nodding like a pecking chicken.

The legendary fire elemental core, in this place filled with gems and magical metals, was undoubtedly the most dazzling existence.

"If you follow me, you might have a chance to obtain similar items."

As soon as he finished speaking, Garon shook his head slightly, with a somewhat disappointed tone, "It's a pity you're accustomed to living secluded, not liking to travel outside."

Hearing Garon's words, Yuna showed hesitation.

Then she buried her head again, only showing her eyes and above, her purple dragon eyes reflecting contemplation.

Garon didn't disturb Yuna.

He closed his eyes, quietly recalling the texture circuits felt from touching the crystal wall, while trying to construct a spell model in his mind.

It was a door-shaped spell model, covered in complex runes and circuits, some key parts very similar to the crystal wall textures.

Buried in the gold and silver lake within the volcano, as time steadily passed, half an hour later, the construction of the spell model failed, collapsing into dissipated mental energy.

Opening his eyes, Garon took a deep breath.

The construction of a spell model requires completion in one go, becoming more difficult as it progresses.

However, his mental strength level was sufficient, and after touching the crystal wall textures, he gained a new understanding of the plane teleportation spell. This failure was only due to a lack of proficiency. After a few more attempts, Garon felt he could successfully cast the plane teleportation spell.

Meanwhile, Yuna, seeing Garon open his eyes and look over, stuck her head out, revealing her symmetrical neck, "Actually, I've been alone for too long, occasionally thinking about seeing the outside world, just never could make up my mind."

Garon's eyes flickered, surprised, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Yuna looked at those profound platinum dragon eyes, somewhat embarrassed, "Can I follow you?"

Seemingly afraid of Garon's refusal, Yuna quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't just follow you for nothing. If you need me, I can help you, although I can't beat you, I still have legendary strength, not just any ordinary dragon species."

The young force dragon girl couldn't resist the temptation of treasures and finally took the bait.

Garon stroked his chin's horned layer, making eye contact with Yuna, slowly nodding, smiling, "Of course."

Garon was very interested in whether force could help him travel through time earlier.
