Chapter 183: Chapter 178: Casually Plant a Seed Chapter 183: Chapter 178: Casually Plant a Seed The dragon prestige boomed, suppressing the entire area. The cavalry charging towards the temple and the panicking crowd, all under this Dragon Prestige, froze as if they were insects trapped in amber, unable to move.

Though immobilized, everyone under this Dragon Prestige, be it human or horse, was trembling in fear. This was an uncontrollable instinctual reaction when inferior creatures face superior beings.

“You…” Originally squatting on the ground, the High Priest sat directly onto the floor as the Dragon Prestige swept over him. Holy spirit light radiated from his body, combating the Dragon Prestige enveloping him.

“Roar!” All covered by the Dragon Prestige, be it human or beast, had their consciousness blurred under the superior pressure. In their daze, they seemed to see a radiant Golden Dragon roaring up towards the sky.

The High Priest, who sat on the ground too, saw a dragon shadow manifest deeply inside his consciousness. His face showed surprise first, then raised his hand, pointing at Muria, the realization reflected in his face, comprehending the unanticipated revelation : “so, you are a Golden Dragon!”

Muria did not respond, retracting the Dragon Prestige that he had let flow around him, calming it instantly.

“Thump!” “Thump!” “Thump!” The panicking bystanders all knelt on the ground. Some lay prostrate on the ground, unable to stop their bodies from trembling.

The four cavalry charging towards the temple were instantly thrown into disarray, the tremendous momentum of their charge disintegrated under the Dragon Prestige.

This is the Giant Dragon, ordinary beings don’t have the courage to face the Dragon Prestige head-on. They can only lay prostrate under Dragon Prestige, trembling, let alone harbour any thoughts of attack.

Therefore, to use the tactics of overwhelming numbers, employing ordinary soldiers to surround and kill a (mature) Giant Dragon, is simply impossible. The Giant Dragon doesn’t need to do anything, just by fully displaying its Dragon Prestige, it can disintegrate the warfare will of an ordinary army.

“Hold on!” The High Priest, who just realized that Muria was a Golden Dragon, thought of the gold nuggets he had collected in his Space Ring earlier, and suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Did he just ask a Golden Dragon for coins? By the Dawn Goddess above, what was he doing? Incredibly, this Golden Dragon really gave him gold nuggets! This couldn’t possibly be a fake dragon, could it?

“Are you really a Golden Dragon?” The High Priest starts doubting Muria’s identity again, was he really standing in front of a giant dragon?

“I am a half-blood Golden Dragon!” Muria, looking at the High Priest, did not bother hiding the truth.

“Oh!” At this time, the High Priest revealed an enlightened expression, his face showing complete certainty. “You are a sorcerer who possesses the Golden Dragon bloodline, and your bloodline is very rich, enabling you to release Dragon Prestige comparable to a true dragon.”

“Why can’t I be a real Giant Dragon?” Muria gave a puzzled look at the High Priest who was conjecturing about his identity, postulating his identity as a sorcerer.

“Though I have never seen a true Dragon, I have never heard of Dragon Prestige like the one you displayed just now.” The High Priest stood up, tidying his robes. “Therefore, you are not a true Dragon. Am I right?”

Muria twitched his mouth with a smile, “You guessed it right. I don’t count as a real Giant Dragon”
“As I thought!” The High Priest turned to look again at the four temple guards who were beaten up to the point of vomiting blood and the guards whose bodies were restrained, “a Golden Dragon would never pull off something like storming the Temple.”

“Heh!” Muria kept his silence, then turned to look at the girl who had been healed and was struggling to sit up, and also towards Solon, the boy next to her who was looking at his sister with an excited expression.

“The result isn’t bad!”

“But the commotion made was a little too much.”

Muria looked at the people who knelt around him and couldn’t help but shake his head, walking towards the Giant Wolf also pinned to the ground by his Dragon Prestige, “Well, it’s time to leave this city then, and seek information in another city!”

“Master!” Seeing Muria about to leave, the young man Solon quickly walked a few steps and knelt in front of him, “My life belongs to you, Master. You can claim it anytime in the next ten years.”

“What would I want with your life?” Muria waved him away.

“Then why did you…?”

“I simply tested you.” Muria turned to look at the kneeling boy.

Muria’s gaze shifted towards a girl, Avril, who had just recovered from a severe illness, weakly leaning against the wall, her vulnerability radiating brightly, “Young lady, you are lucky. You have a brother willing to sacrifice everything for you.

Dignity, money and even life.

For you, he is willing to give up everything.

Cherish your brother well!”

“Brother!” Hearing Muria’s words, the girl’s tears rolled down her cheeks immediately. She heard Muria questioning Solon about whether he was willing to give up his life to save her and she also heard her brother’s answer.

“Master, you’ve done me a great favor, far too great.” Solon’s eyes turned red. No-one had ever been so kind to him, smashing a temple for his sake, “How should I repay you?”

“Take care of your sister and live a good life. That would be the best repayment for me,” Muria replied. “Also, don’t resort to theft to obtain wealth. Use the knife in your hand to honorably slay monsters and earn coins.”

“Master, starting at the age of twelve, I have not stolen anything from anyone. I’ve relied on hunting monsters outside the city for coins,” Solon raised his head, looking at Muria with a relieved face. “And over these years, I’ve repaid twice the amount of stolen money to those I wronged.”

“Good job.” Hearing that, Muria showed a smile on his face. Without using any magic, he knew that the boy was telling the truth and not lying.

With that, Muria walked to Solon’s side, “Since that’s the case, you owe no one any debts, get up.”

“Master, I owe you my life and 1500 gold coins.”

“If you agree to some terms of mine, then those debts would be paid off.”

“What terms? I will definitely follow them.”

“Do not shed tears in front of others. If you feel aggrieved and want to cry, hide yourself and cry alone without others finding out.

From today onwards, do not kneel to any other person.

Because, you are a man.”

Muria raised his hand to grip Solon by the shoulder, helping him off the ground. Nobody except for Muria himself saw a light silently seeping from his palm into Solon’s body.

“Master!” Hearing Muria’s terms, Solon’s feelings were once again overwhelmed, his vision fading under a wave of tears.

“Hold it, cry somewhere else in private later.” Muria patted Solon’s shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the Giant Wolf.

“You smashed the Temple and think you can just leave like that?” At that moment, a voice came from behind him.
