Chapter 368: Lance, the Holy Golden Giant Dragon to Punish the Black Dragon
The Young Dragon felt puzzled. Hadn't the Evil Dragon previously stated he would let "human Lance" embark on a Divine Travel for an extended period? It had only been a few days. Why was "human Lance's" journey of Divine Travel coming to an end now?
Was it because of the arrival of the Golden Giant Dragon Austin and Sister Eilena at Saint Blue?
That couldn't be right either. Just yesterday, the Evil Dragon had broken Austin's bones and confined Sister Eilena within the Gravity Domain, imprisoning her for such a lengthy time.
Would he, as the Evil Dragon, beat up Sister Eilena, then, as Lance, cajole her?
"Could it be rather tiring?"
Considering two identities within Saint Blue, the Young Dragon thought the Evil Dragon must be quite weary—she herself would indeed be overwhelmed with managing two identities there.
"It's not tiring for me."
Lance stood up and walked over to the bed, where his hand rested on the defensive shield. The sparkling golden shield immediately dissipated, and a strand of the golden Dragon Soul flew forth from Lance's forehead and entered the Puppet Body. The human Lance on the bed quivered his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.
The Saint Blue Viscount had returned from his Divine Travel.
The reason he had awakened his Puppet Body was because Lance was preparing to accept the Fruit of Wisdom from Austin; Sophia from War God Holy Mountain likely also brought gifts.
After all, the human Lance was not only the Saint Blue Viscount but also the first Pope of the Dragon God Temple.
With the Mountain of the Goddess of Wisdom and War God Holy Mountain visiting Saint Blue, it was not plausible that they would come solely for the Black Dragon. They also, to some degree, represented both great Temples to pay their respects to the first Pope of the Dragon God Temple.
Accepting gifts was something only the human Lance could do appropriately. The identity of the Black Dragon was only suitable for obtaining spoils of war from Austin, Erinna, Sophia, and others.
"Where's my Dragon Cub?"
"Fast asleep."
Lance answered his own question.
The Young Dragon was dumbfounded. It's no wonder why the Evil Dragon kept dogs and turtles—spending long periods alone, without anyone to talk to, the Evil Dragon might truly end up splitting into another self and then chatting with himself.
To call him perfunctory—
When he earnestly pretends, he can also consider everything thoroughly.
Knock knock knock—
The sound of knocking came, and after three raps, Ingrid opened the door, "Lord Black Dragon, Young... Lord Young Dragon, Knight Hammond from the Mountain of the Goddess of Wisdom, Golden Giant Dragon Austin, Miss Thunder Dragon Erinna, and Lady Sophia from War God Holy Mountain are here to pay their... pay their... visit?!
Lord Viscount!!! Have you... have you woken up?"
Ingrid only noticed the awakened Viscount on the bed, who was sitting up and smiling warmly at her, as she finished speaking.
It was good he was awake. If the Viscount had remained asleep, it would have sapped her enthusiasm for work.
"Just returned from the Divine Travel, or rather, I was summoned back by the Black Dragon's secret technique. I heard what you just said. Where are they now?"
"In the hall, Lord Viscount. Would you like to go down and see them now?"
"Let's go see them, we must welcome guests from afar."
After saying this to Ingrid, the human Lance looked towards the Black Dragon, "Shall we go see them together? Before you showed your face, I carried quite a few of your burdens. Let them see you, so they stop suspecting I'm you and cease troubling me with their issues."
"We just met yesterday and had quite a battle."
"???"
Sitting on the bed, Lance raised an eyebrow, "So why didn't you wake me up yesterday? I missed out on a thrilling fight. You and them... who won?"
"Both sides suffered losses. I'm drained to the point of exhaustion, so I won't go to meet them. I'll lie here in your bed for a while and bring along my Dragon Cub. As for your Dragon Cub, he's sleeping in my domain. You can visit him when you're not busy, or don't bother."
After conversing with himself for a moment, the human Lance rose from the bed, put on his shoes, and left the bedroom.
The Black Dragon lay down on the bed, smiled at Ingrid, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes.
Strong as they were, Austin, Erinna, Sophia, and Hammond had excellent hearing as well. They could hear his conversation with the Saint Blue Viscount.
Standing dumbfounded in the bedroom, Ingrid pondered,
Little Lord Black Dragon... isn't really the Young Dragon?
Impossible?
The reactions of the Little Lord Black Dragon...and his personality... were identical to those of the Young Dragon before.
"I won't disturb Lord Black Dragon's rest."
Ingrid led the Young Dragon out of the bedroom, closing the door behind them.
In his pajamas, the Puppet Body walked towards the hall on the first floor. The Young Dragon followed behind him, with Ingrid trailing behind the Young Dragon.
"Viscount, do you still remember me?"
Sophia, upon seeing Lance, stared at him with her heterochromatic eyes for a moment. She then rose and greeted Lance with a smile.
It was that Viscount she had seen before, his aura unchanged.
"The little girl who rode my Dragon Cub's bicycle... Sophia, right? Your eyes... didn't look like this before."
"I was in disguise before. I'll reintroduce myself. My name is Sophia, the Saintess of War God Holy Mountain. I came to Saint Blue under a false identity a few days ago to meet the Black Dragon who was sleeping in your bedroom. On that night... I had a fight with the Black Dragon, and you surely know of it."
"Mhm, I heard you fought again yesterday?"
"Yes, we were overpowered."
Sophia did not try to salvage her dignity. Being overpowered meant being overpowered. The willingness to admit defeat was the precursor to progress.
"Settle your disputes among yourselves. Just make sure not to bring ruin to my Saint Blue."
Lance approached the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine, "Aside from Sophia, there's also the gentleman sitting next to Austin. We're all acquaintances, so let's have a drink together."
