Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2473  Dragons And Suspicious Movements

The twins were a bit sad that they couldn't get to eat Dragons, thus Lin Mu had to explain to them why they couldn't eat them.

The biggest limitation other than their obvious strength was that most dragons were actually forbidden to be eaten by the Immortal Court as well as the Temple of the Immortal Court.

While the Dragon Clans weren't exactly united, several of them still had close alliances with the Azure Dragon Clan and thus had immunity and a special status.

Which only left the lower Dragon species that weren't considered 'noble' to be free from the restraints and could be eaten. But even then those were still very strong with the weakest one being a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal.

If a Dragon appeared in a world, it would usually become one of its supreme powers.

In fact it wasn't uncommon for people of that world to worship the beast, if it brought them protection. Even if it didn't and actually harmed them, they would still worship it just in the hope that it would spare them.

Thankfully most Dragons had high intelligence and while they could be very temperamental, they did listen to reason at most times.

Even in the Rust Sky World, there had only ever been three Dragons appearing in its recorded history.

One of these was a member of the Azure Dragon Clan and had come here long ago when the Rust Sky World had been officially come under the Immortal Court. The second Dragon on the other hand was a Sea Drake that had evolved its bloodline to become a Great Ocean Dragon before ascending and leaving the world.

The third Dragon was a Fire Wyrm that had left the world after coming in conflict with some powers in the past. It went to another world nearby and cultivated until it finally involved into a Six Horned Fire Dragon and returned to wipe out all those that had offended it.

It too left the world after ascending.

Lin Mu had read about this in one of the history books that the Crown Prince had given him. It had a detailed section about Dragons since they were considered so influential. In fact, there were even protocols dictated on what needed to be done when a Beast with a Dragonic Bloodline was discovered.

It stated that they needed to be given their own space and not to be offended unless necessary. Most even said that they should be left alone even if they caused damage as long as it was within a limit. The list of protocols to follow was quite long and they had even diversified it depending on the kinds of Dragonic Bloodlines that had appeared in the Rust Sky World.

This was why the Imperial court had an alliance with the Blue Drake that lived in the empire.

And it wasn't the only empire that did this either.

The Huiqing Empire apparently had a small group of Agate Scaled Drakes living in its territory too that were protected.

Their relation was close enough that the drakes would trade their scales and fangs with the Huiqing Imperial Family for benefits.

The Holy Topaz Dynasty was also said to have a Twin Horned Wyvern living in their empire, but it had been a while since it had disappeared.

Wyverns were also beast with Dragonic Bloodlines but unlike the smaller Drakes they were bigger. But they only had four wings, with their forelimbs being their wings and the hind legs limbs.

A True Dragon would usually have Four legs and a pair of wings or more on their backs.

The Wyrms on the other hand either only had two legs or simply didn't have legs and were more serpentine in appearance other than their scales and special horns.

Lin Mu had been quite interested in what was considered as one of the strongest species of beasts thus he had read quite a lot about him. The twins ended up asking a lot of questions, which Lin Mu had to answer and by the time he was done, it was already the evening and it was time to head out.

"Let's go, we shouldn't be late for it." Lin Mu spoke to the beasts.

"Of course!" The twins said in unison.

"What of Ashy?" Little Shrubby asked.

"She prefers bugs so she won't come. Plus she's busy with the mission too." Lin Mu was a bit surprised in how invested she was in it.

Though he also felt happy that she was taking it seriously and doing the work diligently. As such he let her be and the man and beasts finally went to the banquet.

It was held at none other than the Treasury Minister's personal residence which was also a rather large palace.

While it was not as opulent as the Grand Palace, Lin Mu found it to be better than the Crown Prince's personal palace at least. It was also twice as big and showed just how much wealth the Treasury Minister had. His clan had several businesses in the empire and even if he didn't have the position of the Treasury Minister he would still be very rich.

"Haha! Welcome Lord Imperator!" the Treasury Minister greeted them at the hall entrance. "Please come in, everything is already set." He invited him.

They quickly took their seats and found that the dishes had already been served and all they needed to do was to eat. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The Treasury Minister explained each dish in detailed and told Lin Mu what ingredients were used and how they had been procured.

Little Shrubby took notes about this, as he recorded it all in a Jade Slip, finding it very useful for him.

But while the banquet ran, a certain female servant was doing something else.

"Bring in more Fragrant Wood for the Smoker!" The Cook ordered.

"I'll bring it soon." The Servant said and left the kitchen. But Ashy who had been watching everything, found that instead of heading to the usual wood storage, the Servant actually went someplace else. She left the Imperial Grounds and went to a furniture workshop!
