Installing a custom ROM on a Google Pixel C (dragon) requires the bootloader to be unlocked on the Pixel C (dragon) phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
