Arthur shrugged as he answered: "As long as I get benefit back, I don't care."
"You should," the dragona laughed, "you should ask for more benefits from them in return."
"They can't meddle in this world," Arthur argued.
"Sure but they can send others who can," the dragon said in a sly tone, "Listen to your master, next time you should ask for reinforcements and supplies. Those up there are living a life you can't even imagine."
"Who's my master?!!"
"It's me, I decided to take you as dear disciple," the dragon said in an arrogant tone.
"Master with no body, only a voice in my head," Arthur laughed while sarcastically commenting over the dragon's words.
"A voice that can crush your soul instantly if he loved to," the dragon refused to show signs of weakness as he added, "with me I'll guarantee to make your old soul be amended and complete, your past power to return and even be more than ever."
"Empty words," Arthur sneered before pointing towards the golden globe while moving around, collecting every corpse here, "What about this? Is this your body remnants?"
"Nah, they are my former power, partially absorbed and collected here to be used as a punishment to any who defies the black dragons."
"Power?" Arthur glanced in greed towards the golden ball, "is this all you've got?"he asked.
"Only a fraction, just a tiny piece of what I once had," the dragon bragged.
"Tsk," Arthur shook his head before adding, "it's a shame you have to leave these behind."
"Who said?" the dragon laughed, "if you accepted me as a master, then this power will be yours."
Arthur was tempted by the offer. "I'll have to wait for my system to be awakened first."
"Doubting me?"
"I don't know you to judge."
"Tsk, that's so mean," the dragon sighed, "I intend to help and yet you give me this cold shoulder."
"Still will wait for my system," Arthur had made up his mind.
"He will be awake in one day, will you wait that long doing nothing here?" the dragon asked.
"Better than risking my life."
"It's a great chance in front of you. This power will dominate the little black dragon energy inside you. From now on, you won't be threatened by the black dragons, only the silver ones are sneaky and dangerous for you."
Arthur was much tempted by these words. He still had fear and doubt towards going back to level his dragonair power up. "Silver dragons? Didn't they perish with you?" Arthur asked.
"Perish? Pft, this the funniest thing I've ever heard since dying," the dragon laughed for minutes before adding, "those bastards are much slower than all the dragons together. They are strong against us, can't be threatened and yet they bowed their heads to live."
"If they are strong, why bow then?" Arthur muttered while taking more corpses into his garden.
"They have innate advantage upon the two of us. We usually used to say that the black and golden dragons are like two brothers; fighting and competing on everything. Yet the silver ones are like the sexy girl flirting on both wings, with much advantage on both of us, yet they lack enough numbers to dominate even one race of us."
"That's… inspiring," Arthur laughed before adding, "You should have won their heart and bodies before the others, hehehe."
"It's not about sex, it's about strength and dominance," the golden dragon sighed, "having a silver dragon as your girl is the best thing you'll ever experience in your entire life," he spoke with a melancholic tone, making Arthur understand more about him.
"I hope to find one then, hehehe."
"Don't put your hopes high," the dragon muttered, "the black dragons already know how dangerous these silver ones are, yet they are also aware of their importance and role to aid their strengths. So, they kept them locked up in places hard to reach."
"But I have you, my mighty master, who knows it all and will guide me to their locked harem and let me play to my fullest, right?" Arthur was sarcastically speaking, yet the dragon took his words for real.
"That's a promise if you took me as a master."
"Wait for my system first," Arthur didn't change up his mind.
"Tsk, this is a desolate place, how can you tolerate spending a day in it without doing anything?"
"You endured for hundreds of years here," Arthur replied.
"I stayed here for tens of thousands of years, kid, not just a mere hundreds. Tsk," the words Arthur said seemed to get on the nerve of the dragons.
"Where is this place anyway?" Arthur finished collecting all the corpses and then glanced over the place he was at, "I think it's a room underground. But how can anyone access here and leave? There must be a way."
"This is the heart of this world," the dragon said before further explaining, "here is the closest thing to the world's altar, a very remote place from the surface."
Arthur's eyes shone as he asked the next instant: "Is this so deep to be near the great veins of the world?"
"Well…" the dragon was speechless there for a moment, "sure it's."
"Great," Arthur laughed before closing up his eyes for long minutes. Then when he opened them, he waved his hand and a huge number of people appeared out of nowhere.
"Your garden time difference is a blessing," the dragon laughed as he watched what Arthur did inside the garden. "But may I ask why are you doing all this?"
"If this is the closest place to the greatest veins of this world, then it'd be a shame leaving all this wealth behind untouched," Arthur said before turning to humans and glancing over the tens of thousands he just summoned. "Go and start mining, I want this place to be swept clean in the shortest time possible."
Once he shouted and gave his orders, everyone started to move towards the walls, the ground, and even the ceiling of this place and started mining.
