The Legend of the Fastest Scumbag

"You are... the Fire Thief?"

The Dragon Girl's trembling question struck Kang De's heart like a heavy hammer.

His expression suddenly changed.

This must be the first person in this other world to recognize his identity... oh, it's a dragon.

After receiving the inheritance and awakening this mysterious power on the Holy Seal Archipelago, he has always been curious about the significance of the Fire Thief's special and mysterious identity in the other world. The guidance of the gods in the Crimson Scroll, the misty mirror world, and even the souls in the ancient sealed artifacts of Earth all know this name.

It hides countless mysteries and questions, yet its own records and legends have been lost to history. Even a learned person like Tina doesn't know what this name means. She also wants to get answers from more ancient creatures, but the elves are enemies, and she has only just met the dragons and has never had the chance.

Now, the dragon has recognized his secret identity.

--The thought that arose subconsciously was to silence them.

Having extensive experience reading online literature, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. Basically, the protagonist unintentionally acquires a very ancient and powerful special identity, and very few people in the world know the origin of this identity. That basically means that there must be countless potential hostile forces and huge organizations with ill intentions lurking in the world. Making a fuss about it all over the world will cause trouble.

But this raises another question—how to silence them?

The vast amount of online novel reading also provided two answers: either physical annihilation or using one's own dragon spear to shut the other's mouth, so that the other's mouth would have no other thoughts besides wanting more and more, and would not waste precious bodily fluids evaporating in the air when informing on others.

Both of these approaches seem difficult.

After instinct comes thought and weighing of options; Kang De abandoned the idea of hostile contact.

Let's discuss this first.

How did the other party recognize him? And how did they view the Fire Thief? Even if they lied and concealed information, their true attitude would still be reflected in their words and actions.

Most importantly... there was no hostility or murderous intent in the other party's eyes.

He was about to speak, but Lily was clearly more anxious than he was.

Looking at the pale golden Dragon Might crystal in his hand, the Dragon Girl seemed to understand something and said urgently, "Solidify the Dragon Might and use it for mental bombardment—have you encountered the Grewind Swarm?"

--shock!

Kang De looked surprised.

He never expected that the Dragon Girl could immediately deduce his true intentions—this showed that she knew a lot about the Fire Thief, especially the battle recorded in the elven books!

The Fire Thief asked in surprise and doubt, "You..."

"Looks like I guessed right." Lily's eyes sparkled. She seemed very excited, much more excited than usual. Her expressions and eyes were much richer, almost comparable to when she made her Formidable appearance that night—that night when the two of them were caught off guard and faced each other face to face, Kang De clearly remembered the blush that covered her face, the sudden clutching of her chest, and that extremely cute scream.

Before Kang De could speak, the Dragon Girl said rapidly, "To force the solidified Dragon Might into the insect hive's mental network, you need the cooperation of Dragon Language Magic, or more precisely, the guidance of Dragon Language. It seems your second request is this. I can teach you how to do it."

Looking into Kang De's eyes, she said resolutely, "And only I know how to teach, because only I have seen the detailed records of the Brood War. The one who wrote these records lent his own Dragon Might and Dragon Language Magic to the previous Fire Thief, enabling him to destroy the Grewind Swarm..."

Lily paused here, then slowly said, "The Dragon of Defiance."

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. She slowly released Kang De's arms, but still looked at him, and calmly said, "Only I can help you. Even if you begged the Dragon Emperor for help, offering your Forbidden Spell and alchemical weapons in exchange, he still wouldn't agree... Only I can help you."

Kang De paused for a moment, processing the information.

If we exclude the possibility that the author of that book quickly communicated with the dragons and exchanged statements... then the story makes sense.

From a time perspective, there's no time to find the Dragon Emperor; Lily is the only option.

He asked, "And what's the price?"

Lily stared at him blankly, a single tear suddenly sliding down her beautiful eyes.

"This time it's free."

She curled the corners of her lips into a rare smile, but the smile was tinged with sadness.

"The emergence of new Fire Thief means that the previous generation of Fire Thief has long since completed their mission or died... Many years have passed, even by the standards of dragons, which is a very long time. Those who were meant to return should have returned long ago. The answer I seek is, in fact, meaningless."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Kang De: "But I also want the meaningless answer."

Kang De asked, "What answer?"

"Fire Thief, I know that the appearance of someone like you is inevitably accompanied by some kind of responsibility, mission, and the recurrence of disaster. You will face challenges, prevent disasters, and fulfill your destined mission. In addition, you will encounter obstacles, dangers, and... enemies."

"My requirement is that when you fight those enemies hidden in the mists of history, and have the ability to fight back and interrogate them, I want you to obtain clues or answers from them."

What's the answer?

What happened to the previous generation of Fire Thief and their followers and companions in their final battle?

Kang De was startled.

He immediately thought of the Holy Seal Archipelago, where it all began.

The altar of the Fire Thief is located here.

And those magical creatures.

The Parrot that squawks "GHS," "GKD," and "AWSL" all day long seems to be a long-lost Phoenix King Malegith.

People are grouped by their kind, and things of a kind gather together. Those wicked beasts lord it over the island, bullying ordinary little animals all day long. Only these intelligent creatures can get along together, or at least live in peace with each other... If you say that only the Parrot is special, Kang De wouldn't believe it.

The dragon Lily is looking for... could it be one of the dragons on the island?

Pigeon, Honey Badger, Bar-headed Goose, Funeral Chicken, Marmot... the images of these animals flashed through my mind. Besides these, who played well with Kang De and even lived with him, many other creatures also lived in other parts of the island and even several other islands. Now you're saying there's a giant dragon among them...

Grass, unimaginable.

Either one would make him burst out laughing.

He lowered his eyes, concealing a change in his gaze; was he about to tell the truth?

No.

The Holy Seal Archipelago are far overseas and have been peaceful all along. Once Lily finds out, she will probably rush there immediately. That would be fine, but if the news leaks out, or if her motives are impure, it could lead to many unpleasant consequences. Besides, he had previously considered going back, but A Xing seriously stopped him, saying that something bad would happen if he went back... Although he didn't know what it was, he certainly had to be careful.

And A Xing also said that those guys would come out on their own, so...

Don't tell her yet.

At least... I need to figure this out myself first; I need an answer too.

Thinking about the contents of that book and combining it with the Dragon Girl's testimony, Kang De's conjecture gradually became confirmed. The person who wrote the book was not Dairila, but was trusted by Dairila and could tell the details of the previous generation of Fire Thief' battles, knowing everything about them. This person's identity could be almost confirmed.

So only one question remains—why doesn't she come to see me?

Is she afraid I'll laugh at her?

If that's the case, then I'll really have to give her a good laugh.

But now is not the time. There must be a reason why she refuses to see me. I need to deal with Big Bob first, sort things out on Earth, and then come back to deal with this bird feather slowly.

He raised his head and said seriously, "I agree."

As he said this, Kang De extended his hand. "Although we still have many doubts and questions in our hearts, and have not yet established trust between us, this should be a good start. It seems that we will have many opportunities to deal with each other in the future... So, it is a pleasure to cooperate, Ms. Lily."

"Please keep my secret as Fire Thief, and help me defeat the so-called Grewind Swarm. Do not attempt to pry into my secrets unnecessarily. I will also restrain my curiosity and refrain from investigating yours. I promise you I will fulfill your requests and find the answers you seek."

He thought about it and decided to use Brother Tu as a tool... I mean, Notary Dragon.

In any case, Brother Tu's deterrent effect on dragons should be stronger than Second Brother Guan's deterrent effect on the underworld.

"In the name of Akatum, the Space-Time Dragon God, let us make a pact."

Lily ignored Kang De's outstretched hand.

"No need for all that trouble," she said casually. "Let's get straight to the point. It seems you don't want me to know where the Greywind bug infestation will occur again... Let's get to the heart of the matter."

"I've granted you the ability to use Dragon Language spells," the Dragon Girl's gaze had returned to its usual calm. "And your task is—to help me weave a story."

Ah?

Making up stories?

First you made me speak in the language of Jay, now you're making me make up stories. I suspect you're trying to get me to do something lewd.

Kang De asked suspiciously, "A story?"

Dragon Girl nodded and said, "Hmm, with your lustful man's delusional thinking, your restless and thirsty male impulses, your talent for talking nonsense and your glib tongue..."

Kang De retorted angrily, "I am a gentleman, how could I possibly do such a thing..."

The Dragon Girl ignored him and continued, "And her rich experience in frequently flirting with women..."

The gentleman calmly said, "List the background, characters, genre, and tone."

Lily's usually indifferent gaze flickered slightly, showing interest. "Could you explain in more detail?"

Kang De calmly replied, "Background, East or West, ancient or modern, city or countryside, school or home, nation to nation, family to family... many backgrounds, and so on."

"The characters are so varied: commoners or nobles, commoners x nobles, lowly commoners x noblewomen, nobles x village girls, and if it's a school, students x students, or students x teachers... There are just too many types."

"Types, pure love or [beep--] humiliation, depravity or adultery, or sadomasochism, and so on."

"The tone refers to the central theme of the story: whether it reflects reality or is just casual fun, whether it promotes women's rights or celebrates love, whether it advocates sexual liberation or calls for people to return to the family."

After he finished speaking, he said proudly, "There are many reasons behind this; it's not something you can just make up."

He was speaking for a while when Dragon Girl started writing furiously, and she felt that his eyes were even brighter than before... For the first time, his indifferent eyes revealed a look of reverence.

A feeling of awe and reverence.

She said sincerely, "I'm really starting to take a lot of interest in you now... You're truly amazing."

Kang De asked in confusion, "Huh?"

Dragon Girl nodded and said, "It seems the story can at least be made up to be somewhat plausible now; we do have something in common."

Kang De was increasingly confused. "... So what exactly is the story?"

Lily said, "This all starts with Dragon Language Magic. I mean, to give you the ability to cast Dragon Language spells, Dragon Language Magic is actually very difficult to teach. It's already difficult for a human to learn the way dragons pronounce words, let alone learn dragon spells. You seem to be in a hurry, so you probably can't afford to spend several years learning it... Therefore, there's only one way to use the power of dragons."

"..." Kang De tentatively asked, "To be Dragon Knight?"

"Dragon Knight is a concept forcibly created by Dragon Island Defense in order to promote its dragon-themed military products. They hired a group of bards and playwrights to cater to humanity's foolish delusions and fantasies."

Lily said slowly, "If that's all there is to it, it wouldn't be the Dragon of Defiance."

"What method is that?"

The Dragon Girl didn't speak, but looked at Kang De, seemingly hesitating about something.

Finally, she gave a self-deprecating smile and shook her head.

"What are you still thinking about?"

She was talking to herself.

After discovering Kang De's identity Fire Thief, her future became inextricably linked to him—because she wanted an answer that could only be found with Kang De.

We must find them... even if it means collecting their bodies.

The Dragon Girl reached out and grabbed Kang De, pulling hard.

Pull him closer.

The Dragon Girl's cool and beautiful face was right in front of me.

Although Kang De's body had been strengthened, it was still no match for the immense strength of a dragon. He struggled for a moment and instinctively asked, "What are you doing?"

His gaze, however, involuntarily drifted to the dragon girl's pink and alluring lips.

The next moment... a loud bang.

Their foreheads touched.

"What are you fantasizing about?" the Dragon Girl said. "Don't speak, and don't resist, just like before."

A sweet breath entered my nostrils; it smelled quite nice.

A deep Dragon Language resounded.

The air seemed to resonate with resonance and whispers.

The sea of the soul is in turmoil, the gates of the heart are wide open, and two completely different spiritual forces are intertwined, imprinted, flickering, intertwined, and resonating.

An inexplicable power enveloped Kang De, his body, and his soul.

Like Armor-Donning Ritual... In an instant, the world became clearer, and he found himself changed. A strange impulse surged within him; he wanted to speak another language, ancient and powerful, one he could understand, speak, and even faintly hear—a voice from the depths of his soul.

That was... Akatum's whisper.

It is the language of the dragon.

Then, his body was gently pushed apart, and Kang De found that between him and Lily, an ancient pattern was shining in the air. The light was thick and chaotic, gradually turning from nothingness to substance, and then splitting into two. The two orbs of light kept changing shape in the air. He looked at one of the orbs and felt a sense of intimacy in his mind.

Lily asked, "What kind do you like?"

Kang De didn't react immediately. "Huh?"

The Dragon Girl explained, "I'm asking, which kind of ring do you prefer: one pierced on your tongue, one on your nose, one on your chest, or one worn underneath?"

"... What is that?!"

Lily said regretfully, "Never mind... let's not provoke the Dragon Emperor anymore."

With a gentle touch, the two halos transformed into small rings. One flew towards herself, and the other towards Kang De, gently slipping onto Lily's finger. The other ring... which she had originally intended to put on her ring finger, was jolted off by the Divine Ring of Stellar Authority and ended up reluctantly slipping onto her middle finger.

"..."

--The strange rings have increased!

Kang De looked at his hands; he already had three, looking like a rookie admiral.

"This is Proof of the Covenant."

The Dragon Girl's tone was tinged with loneliness, sorrow, and a hint of anger.

The moment the ring was put on, an invisible spiritual force surged and spread in all directions.

In the royal tent of the Elf Expeditionary Force camp, far from Danfeng Lucerne.

Malegith, holding a 2L bottle of cola in her mouth and sucking it flat, spat it out with a "poof," and the cola bottle popped back to its original shape. A blazing light erupted in the eyes of the former Phoenix King.

Dairila, who was sitting to the side reviewing documents, also looked up, and Phoenix Vision was activated.

"The Dragon's Covenant..." she exclaimed in astonishment, "How could this be...?"

She froze for a moment, then abruptly stood up, rushed into the bedroom, and shouted at Malegith, "Ancestor! You... you... you... what's going on!"

Malegith glanced at her. "Jealous?"

The Phoenix King's voice rose eight octaves. "No!"

The Parrot clicked its tongue. "Then you're even dumber than the female characters in harem visual novels..."

"--What is that!" Dairila exclaimed. "Why would that mother dragon, who has never even met Kang De, willingly sign such a covenant with him? What are you plotting?"

Thousands of miles away, dark clouds surged and lightning roared across the Holy Seal Archipelago. A massive magic array, covering hundreds of miles, appeared from the clouds, accompanied by endless painful roars and howls, which gradually transformed into a rolling dragon's cry that tore through the sky.

"Now you can learn Dragon Language Magic smoothly, because the oath has given you the essence of a dragon."

A commotion arose within the Maple Leaf Palace. The immense power fluctuations generated during the oath-taking ceremony had drawn the attention of many. Lily stated, "The main problem now is that Dragon Island monitors the mental state of all dragons in real time, and the Dragon Emperor already knows about our oath."

"This is your task; you need to craft a good story."

She remained calm, opened her notebook, and scribbled. "The story of how you made me love you to the point of life and death... pure love or [beep--] humiliation, anyway, it's what you told the Dragon Emperor. Oh right, I think Princess Tina would love to hear it too."

"..."

On this day, a story gradually began to circulate in Danfeng Lucerne.

The story of how a certain anonymous Cathayan from China stole the heart and soul of a stunningly beautiful young dragon girl he had only known for three days from his fiancée's home—the legend of the fastest scumbag.
