Chapter： 180 Little Newborn Dragon
The next day.
In the evening, under the night sky, Vixen City was brilliantly illuminated.
From the most bustling inner city to the poorest areas, lights were lit everywhere, and the entire city was bathed in a dazzling glow. The light easily overshadowed the bright moonlight falling from the sky, becoming the bright source of light on the dark Earth under the night sky, illuminating vast areas.
At the same time, a celebratory banquet was held as scheduled to gain Brian's protection and invite many guests.
In an area decorated luxuriously and exquisitely with a romantic ambiance, one by one, the richly dressed human nobles sat at the tables, their eyes filled with extreme amazement, either in awe or with a hint of fear, looking at the silver dragon.
Slim and flexible dancers with soft waists performed in the open space in the middle of the banquet, making seductive moves that stirred people's hearts.
However, the charming dance that usually attracted the attention of most people was neglected this time, with almost no one paying attention.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Brian.
Brian was already accustomed to this kind of worship or awe from weaker creatures, his face expressionless and his demeanor calm.
As for the red dragon Roger, after staying here for more than a day and feeling bored due to Thorn Grand Duke's unwelcoming attitude, he returned to the Dragon's Lair in the Carol Mountains to organize his treasures and followers.
Brian had told him that they would leave here in the future.
Roger had no objections.
Because of the lure of the lava demiplane, he had no attachment to the Dragon's Lair where he had stayed for decades.
At the banquet, Thorn Grand Duke smiled and raised his glass to introduce to everyone.
“Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of all the citizens of Mocha Principality, I salute the great, merciful, and compassionate Eternal Dragon.”
“Gaining the protection of the Eternal Dragon is the greatest honor since the founding of Mocha Principality.”
The nobles attending the banquet were slightly shaken and looked at Brian.
The ultra-large dragon body, like a silver hill, with four prominent dragon horns extending from the forehead, tightly embedded silver dragon scales... This silver dragon just quietly stayed there, and with a calm glance from his platinum Dragon's Eyes, made everyone feel a chill all over and a sense of awe.
Brian looked back at Thorn Grand Duke without expressing any attitude, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his words.
The nobles from other countries calmed down, exchanged glances, and all showed a cautious and vigilant look.
After a pause, seeing a trace of impatience in Brian's eyes, Thorn Grand Duke's heart tightened, and he quickly laughed, saying, “I am very pleased that you all could come, so I won't waste your time any longer.”
“Please enjoy the banquet.”
He clapped his hands, and a line of graceful and delicate maids immediately filed out.
A small portion of them carried exquisite trays with their soft and slender wrists, walking towards the human nobles.
The fragrance of the meticulously cooked food immediately filled the surrounding air.
And eighty percent of the maids were heading towards Brian's location.
The delicacies prepared for Brian by Thorn Grand Duke were served in huge trays comparable to large round tables, and the maids carrying the trays had magical fluctuations on them, obviously enhanced by spells.
Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to lift such heavy items.
Cheese magic beef steak, salt-baked crystal white snails, steamed and roasted lamb...
Lightly sniffing, the mixed aroma of various delicacies entered Brian's nostrils, making him nod slightly.
Thorn Grand Duke seemed to understand that dragons primarily love meat, so most of the dishes prepared were meat-based, with the rest being fragrant and plump fruits, along with some beverages and wines.
Seeing that Brian was somewhat satisfied, Thorn Grand Duke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After Mocha Principality gained the protection of a True Dragon, and this True Dragon easily subdued an adult red dragon, many spies in Mocha Principality sent the news out.
Now, through verbal probing with the high-ranking officials of other countries, Thorn Grand Duke knew that the possibility of Mocha Principality becoming a vassal state had significantly decreased.
Almost all the duchies, upon learning of Brian's existence, extinguished their ambitions towards Mocha Principality.
Thanks to Brian's protection, Mocha Principality could maintain its sovereignty.
Thorn Grand Duke understood that everything depended on Brian's attitude.
If he showed dissatisfaction with Mocha Principality, the surrounding foreign nobles would see it and likely change their strategies upon returning, continuing to plot against Mocha Principality.
Currently, Mocha Principality had little strength left to deal with those greedy individuals.
And Thorn Grand Duke, just a few months ago, was one of them.
But now, he had to guard against the possibility of being devoured by his former peers.
The rapid change in circumstances was beyond his expectations.
Brian's attention shifted to the endless stream of delicacies in front of him.
He picked up a large plate, opened his mouth slightly, and ate a portion of food that could feed a family of three for several weeks in one bite.
However, Brian was a bit dissatisfied.
The tableware, already large for human standards, was still not suitable for his size. He could eat a whole plate in one bite, making it hard to enjoy the meal.
Seeing Brian frown slightly, Thorn Grand Duke became nervous and quickly stepped aside to explain the situation.
Due to the tight schedule and lack of experience in preparing food for such a large True Dragon, this situation had arisen.
Brian ignored Thorn Grand Duke.
Although the portion sizes were not satisfying, the food was meticulously cooked, with flavors far superior to the cooked food Brian had eaten before, rich in taste and layered.
He thought for a moment, and his body began to glow faintly, then started to shrink.
This transformation once again drew everyone's attention.
Or rather, Brian's actions had always been the focus of all the guests at the banquet.
In an instant, the twenty-meter-long silver dragon shrank into a three-meter-tall humanoid creature.
He had four dragon horns on his forehead, his body was covered with fine dragon scales, and his hands were in the form of fierce and sharp Dragon Claws.
“Hmm, this form is somewhat more comfortable.”
The greater the change in form, the stronger the discomfort.
Brian pondered for a moment and decided to use polymorph again.
With a flash of white light, the tall humanoid creature disappeared.
In its place was a small True Dragon over three meters long, looking like a Newborn Dragon just a few weeks old.
No longer majestic and imposing, it became cute and even a bit adorable.
But no one dared to look at this 'Newborn Dragon' with any contempt.
Ordinary polymorph spells couldn't achieve the kind of freeform transformation that Brian did.
However, the advanced polymorph spell naturally mastered by True Dragons could transform them into almost any creature smaller than themselves. Of course, the greater the difference between the forms, the more difficult the transformation.
