"I never knew that this place would be like this!" Attie exclaimed . "Somehow, it feels like home . . .
The tour guide blew into his whistle . Moments later, a giant, lizard-like ground dragon clambered before the party . This ten-meter long, gigantic creature crouched tamely before the tour guide . On its flat, wide back, there were a few seats attached to it…
Everyone clambered on board . Like a tour bus, the dragon slowly crawled towards the meadows, beginning the journey .
"It's . . . not cold at all here?" Mia noted in surprise . She had a short dress on today, and her two cute legs dangled from the seat, swaying to the rhythm of the dragon's footsteps . This floating island had a very high altitude, but it did not feel cold at all .
"Haha, that's because we picked a good spot . . . " the guard, who was substituting as a tour guide, started to give an introduction of the environment to the girls in a grandiose manner . Good location, underground volcanoes, safe from winds from neighboring floating islands – this floating island felt just like normal land .
Baiyi listened on in silence and never once did he attempt to interrupt the tour guide's explanation . In reality, he already felt that this floating island—and a few others—was encompassed by some sort of large barrier . The abnormally comfortable climate might be the result of this, and not because of some volcano as iterated by the tour guide .
Attie, who had once been a king, was bored out of her wits, for she had already grown used to seeing such vast plains . "This place may look very vast, but can it really fit a few thousand dragons?" She asked suddenly .
The tour guide laughed awkwardly before he explained, "Ah, my beautiful lady, actually it was not as rumored from the outside . . . we may have a thousand riders in the association, but we do not have so many dragons . Furthermore, most of the dragons do not live here . They can be found on the neighboring floating islands . "
Whenever a dragon knight prepares for battle, they do not venture out by themselves act . The dragon knight would bring along a small troop of three to five comrades along atop the dragon's back . The extra manpower would then serve either as normal fighters, assistants, or flight controllers .
Therefore, each dragon that took off into battle did not convey only one rider; it conveyed an entire platoon for the battle in the air .
Eventually, the girls sort of understood the point . They had assumed that the 'hundred-strong' or 'thousand-strong' claims that they heard about the dragon knight's club meant that the knights lead thousands of dragons to war .
From the boundary of the vast plains, the party headed in the direction of the mountains . Instead of these so-called dragons, spotted many little animals along the way . This made the girls feel a little disappointed .
"They don't seem to have many left," the Explorer suddenly stated within the Void . "Remember what I said about the opening of the Realm? The dragon knight club experienced severe losses in that event . That year, when I came over, I still saw a few knights undergoing their training . . . "
Baiyi remembered the Explorer's story well enough . During the event where the realm cracked open, the dragon knights had encountered the king of the land—the phantom behemoth itself . Both parties clashed, and it was rumored that the dragon knights lost hundreds of riders . The collateral damage almost led to the extinction of the club . It was not an easy feat for the club to remain in the present day after experiencing such disastrous losses .
After while later, the group seemed to reach the bottom of a mountain . After a short work forward, they were greeted by a sight of gunfire; a massive army camp sat right at the mountain base . This must be the place where the knights were stationed to undergo their training .
As the ground dragon crawled near the entrance of the army base, the tour guide waved towards his other comrades at the gates . "We have guests today!"
"Damn! You're so lucky! Bumping into more tourists again!" The soldiers exclaimed in envy .
"Wo-aah! Such beautiful girls . " A soldier exclaimed, upon noticing the girls atop the dragon's back . He declared in admiration, "They do not pale in comparison to the mistress's beauty . . . "
"Alright, alright, stop scaring our guests," the tour guide reached into the sack that Baiyi had passed him earlier to extract a gold coin . He pushed it into the palm of one soldier . "Go entertain yourselves with some drinks . . . " He then led Baiyi and the rest into the camp successfully .
"This level of defense—isn't this a little too . . . thin?" Thane expressed his dissatisfaction within the Void . "Anyone could infiltrate this easily!"
"Don't belittle their abilities . If they were brave enough to allow visitors here, then they shouldn't be afraid of infiltration attempts . There is a reason why they have managed to exist for a thousand years . " Baiyi explained .
"Well, you're not wrong . . . " Thane mumbled and kept silent .
Although the scene before everyone's eyes seemed relaxed and under control, Baiyi could discern that it was a facade of calm implemented to hide the internal turmoil . In fact, with only a quick glance, Baiyi knew that the tour guide had brought them to a place with nothing on importance . A few kids were practicing on the field, and a small hoard of ground dragons circled slowly within a wooden pen; these places had no real value! In contrary, a number of soldiers could be found patrolling the area along the valley deeper within the army base . Now that surely was a restricted area, without question .
One could only see the most basic of things at this place, but the real deal was nowhere to be seen . Thus, the closest thing to a dragon that the group saw after circling the camp was a few catcalls and wolf-whistles…
The tour guide decided to bring the party to register for a tour at the historical museum of the dragon rider's club . Baiyi could not contain himself, so he called out, "Ah . . . about that . We wish to see something more . . . exciting . "
"Dragons? Alright, alright, I get you . . . " The tour guide responded . He changed their route, suddenly, and brought them up into a watchtower . This tower was much taller than the standard watchtower, allowing a much wider field of vision . The peaks of the mountains afar could be seen surrounded by a wisp of mist and within the mist was the faint outline of dragons flapping their gigantic wings .
"This is the best viewing deck in the plains," The tour guide explained, clearly enjoying himself . He pointed at a faraway peak . "That is a dragon's den . Some dragons have an affinity towards humans, but the ones that live there are wild dragons awaiting their riders . After passing the examination, the riders would travel there to pick a dragon, and when they do, they would accompany the dragons for life . "
"Actually, do dragons develop feelings towards humans?" Mia asked with full curiosity . "I saw somewhere in a book that they rather see humans as food . . . "
"Haha, this beautiful lady here, you must be from the realm of Isythre, yes? Only the books from there would make those kinds of observations . However, in reality, the dragons are intelligent and strong creatures . They are known for being loyal friends and companions . . . " The tour guide trailed on .
