Chapter 744:- Dragon Palace features
These gigantic Dragons can be seen in other golden doors of the Dragon Palace as well. The exception was that the Dragons on the northern entrance doors were sleeping peacefully, the Dragons of the Western entrance doors were flying in the sky, and the Dragons on the southern doors were protecting a group of various races from a meteorite. This means that each of the two dragons at one entrance was doing something different. The doors open inward when pushed and outward when pulled. The doors were so massive that everyone felt that they had become extremely tiny while walking by them. It was like an ant looking at an elephant. Following Aditya, everyone passed through the eastern entrance. Beyond the 15-meter-tall walls of the Dragon Palace, there stood beautiful and unique architecture.
At first glance, the interior of the Dragon Palace is divided into three distinct levels. The first part, or the lowest level, lies at the base. Above this, the ground of the second area is elevated by about five meters, creating a noticeable rise. Seven wide stairs connect the first and second levels and encircle the second part, allowing easy access between the two.
The elevated ground of the second part is striking, covered entirely in gleaming refined iron. Beautiful murals of dragons adorn this metallic surface, each dragon depicted in intricate detail and telling stories of their might and grace. Sturdy one-meter-tall brick walls have been built along the edges of this raised platform. These brick walls line the perimeter, providing both a boundary and a sense of structure to the elevated area.
The first part was the outer court that sprawled across an impressive 150,000 square meters. In this outer court, one could find the residential buildings where the Dragonians and Dragon Warriors will live to cultivate. These living quarters were designed for comfort and cultivation. Each room was equipped to help its occupant grow stronger by harnessing the dense mana that filled the palace.
"In this outer court, 7 rooms will belong to the 7 Generals. Each of you can come and use these rooms whenever they want and for how long they want." Aditya said to the seven generals. "There is enough space for 26,000 cultivators to stay in the outer court and cultivate." Just the residential buildings covered 130,000 square meters of space. Each room has approximately 5 square meters of space, which is more than sufficient since no one will be permanently staying in the outer court.
The purpose of these private rooms is to be used as cultivation spaces.
Previously, there were dragon caves, which were super narrow and very limited in space. But now there were beautiful buildings and private rooms for each Dragonian and Dragon warrior. Also, in addition to residents staying here, there will be thousands of maids and servants responsible for maintaining cleanliness in all residential buildings. Additionally, they will provide three nutritious meals to the residents each day.
"This means, you will need to recruit a ton of servants. You will be busy for a while." Hearing this, Watson only laughed. "You can leave everything to me, Your Majesty. I won't disappoint you." The unwritten rule was every servant must sign a soul binding contract so that no information about the Dragon Palace goes outside. In addition to the living quarters, the outer court featured expansive training grounds. These were open areas where cultivators could practice their combat skills, and have friendly spar with cultivators. Scattered throughout the outer court were various common areas. These included dining halls where everyone could gather for meals. There were also communal spaces where Dragonians and Dragon Warriors could relax, socialize, and build camaraderie in their free time. The outer court surrounded the Dragon Palace like a ring. The entrances to the outer court were 4 main entrances to the Dragon Palace. There were also wide and beautiful roads connecting everything in the outer court. 7 of these roads went to the Middle Court or the second part through the stairs.
"You all can explore the outer court," Aditya said to all the Dragonians and Dragon warriors. Hearing this, everyone became excited. After all, compared to before, the Mana density inside Dragon Palace has only increased. Everyone couldn't wait to start their cultivation. Some even felt that in a few hours of cultivating in this environment would be enough for them to make a breakthrough. "One more thing...!!" Everyone stopped in their places and looked at Aditya. "The middle court and the place beyond that are restricted areas. This means that no one is allowed to step into the second court or the area beyond that." Hearing this, everyone seriously nodded their heads. The Dragon Palace also has built special barriers. No one from outside of the Dragon Palace will be able to see anything inside the Dragon Palace. Even their senses won't be able to peek inside the Dragon Palace.
No cultivation from the outer court will be able to sense or hear anything from the middle court or the Palace. The same went for the people in the second court. "On this note, I would also like to introduce some ground rules and regulations that I expect everyone to follow. Whoever fails to follow these rules and regulations will be sentenced to prison and will be forever banned from entering the Dragon Palace." Hearing this, everyone nervously gulped. Aditya was very serious about these rules. "Number one, no flying. No one is allowed to fly or jump more than high in the air." "Number two, only the people with authority and permission are allowed to enter the middle court. If anyone other than that attempts to enter the Second court, that person will be instantly killed without any second thoughts."
"Number three, no fighting. If anyone has any problem, then you can resolve your disputes outside of the Dragon Palace."
"Number four, no using your powers in residential buildings. If any of you use your skills in the residential buildings, you will be banned from entering the Dragon Palace." "Lastly, do not engage in any fights or spars in the training ground. Even if you do engage in spars, then hold back your strength and do not destroy anything."
Since 26,000 Dragoniand and Dragon warriors will be staying inside the Dragon Palace, it was necessary to put rules so that there won't be any disputes or unnecessary conflicts. Aditya did not want to see any violence inside the Dragon Palace. "Have I made myself clear?" Aditya asked in a loud tone. Everyone seriously nodded their heads. "Good, you all can disperse now." Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I have written down all the rules. I will make sure that all new Dragonians and Dragon Warriors are aware of these rules." Spencer said to Aditya. "Spencer, place guards on each stair to make sure that no one tries to go to the middle court." "Understood.....!!" 10:29
The middle court and the Palace were completely forbidden to outsiders. Aditya wanted his family to have peace and not be constantly watched by others. "Understood.....!!" "Now, let's head to the middle court." The second part, also known as the middle court, was relatively smaller compared to the outer court. But compared to the outer court, the middle court was much more spacious. The middle court had the Academy and Smithy. The Academy was the upgraded version of the library. The Academy had a library inside of it. The Academy buildings were two-story circular buildings. In the middle of the Academy building was the library, which was the only thing that hadn't changed. The only thing that changed about the library was that it now had two entrances. There were two pathways from the Academy buildings that went to the two entrances of the library. Lastly, there was a Smithy next to the Academy. The Smithy is a building that will be used to produce armor, weapons, and other products. Also, various experiments will be conducted on the Smithy grounds. Such as testing the new generation of Flying Ships. The Smithy had only one building.
Both the Smithy and the Academy had underground spaces that could be used. "Percy is going to love this place," Aditya said with a smile. The Smithy is going to be Percy's house. He and his students will live here and do their work. The Smithy and the Academy had enough spaces for its residents to live. As for the rest empty space, Aditya hasn't thought of anything yet for now. ----------------
