The Dragon God and the Finishing Touch

Learning to sculpt is a very interesting thing, but when using a hammer, it's easy to accidentally hit your own dragon claw.

I've been learning carving from the dragon for three days now, and I've never seen him hit his hand with the hammer. His carving is as smooth as flowing water; watching him carve is a real treat.

Based on the dragon's carving speed, the Dragon God Statue statue should be finished by mid-September.

The Dragon God Statue is quite large, nearly twenty meters tall. The stone used has its own natural color, but it still needs to be painted after it is carved.

When the dragon needs any tools, he will call her and ask her to bring them up.

The workers building the Dragon God Temple often saw the Viscount's Little Dragon Highness prince flying around with a tool bag.

Just now, Little Dragon Highness, carrying his tool bag, flapped his tiny dragon wings and flew to the boulder.

"You can't be impatient or distracted when carving. If you're impatient or distracted, you're likely to smash your own dragon claw."

"Oh, I see. I got a little excited just now."

The young dragon placed the tool bag next to the evil dragon, turned the black hat on its head around with its claws, found a flat spot, lay down, and looked at the dragon carving.

The first part of the dragon to be carved was the head, and the head is almost finished.

One thing is a bit strange: the eyes of the Dragon God Statue are only carved as an outline, without being carefully sculpted.

Logically, since the head was sculpted first, shouldn't all the facial features be sculpted as well? "Lance, why didn't you sculpt the eyes of the Dragon God Statue?"

"It should be saved for last, the Finishing Touch, have you heard of that?"

"Never heard of it. Is there any special explanation?"

"The finishing touch brings the spirit to life."

The young dragon nodded as if it understood. "The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the finishing touch brings life to life." This means that when the eyes are sculpted and painted, the Dragon God Statue will be imbued with divine charm and possess divinity, just like the Valkyrie Painting.

Is that possible? Even the evil dragon has never seen the divinity on the Dragon God Statue originate from the dragon god. Only when a deity is moved can a statue possess a trace of divinity.

When she was still Imperial Daughter, she had heard some magical legends related to gods and statues.

It is said that when some deity statues are sculpted, miraculous things happen in the temple and the area where the statue is enshrined; in more extreme cases, even Miracles occur.

Legend has it that on the day the statue of the Goddess of Wisdom was completed, a figure of light and shadow appeared above the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, holding a divine Divine Book.

Then, in that year, the children born to believers in the Goddess of Wisdom were all very intelligent.

Legends related to gods and statues also include the statue of the God of War God Temple.

Legend has it that when the ancient man built the War God Temple, on the day the statue of the God of War was completed, divine lights appeared in the sky, and several divine Valkyrie also appeared. Then, in that year, the ancient man was invincible, and the divine court at the time could not defeat him. These are all legends she heard, and whether they are true remains to be verified. However, both the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom and the War God Temple included these stories in "Miracles".

When the Dragon God Statue carved by the evil dragon is completed, will some magical celestial phenomena appear in the sky above Saint Blue?

That seems a bit difficult. Not all statues of gods can bring about miraculous celestial phenomena. There are so many temples in the human world that enshrine gods and statues, yet we've never heard of any miraculous celestial phenomena or Miracles occurring. It's already quite remarkable that the evil dragon could imbue the carved Dragon God Statue with divine charm and divinity.

Furthermore, there are no Dragon God Temple in the human world.

Whether the Dragon God will accept a human as a believer is another matter.

The people protected by the Dragon God are dragons.

"Lance, is it true that the moment a deity's statue is sculpted, some statues will trigger celestial phenomena, causing miraculous sights and discovering wondrous things?"

The young dragon suddenly realized that the evil dragon, who had lived for 3455 years, might have seen or heard of the magical sight of gods and statues taking shape.

It's normal to see all sorts of strange and unusual things if you live a long life.

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. As a child, I wasn't qualified to watch the spectacle."

"Slightly bigger?"

"I'm too busy studying to pay attention to these things."

What about after you become an adult?

"Visiting relatives and friends, traveling. I've been to temples but never witnessed Miracles."

"I see."

"However, some of the legends are probably true. Whether you believe it or not, just maintain basic respect for the gods in the legends."

"Uh-huh."

"Once you're done with your work, I'll invite you to the theater tonight to see ' The Noble Son's Guide to Love.' You haven't been to Saint Blue City lately, so there are some things you might not know. Some lines from your romance book have become popular."

In the streets and alleys of Saint Blue City, young boys and girls often play with lines from books, saying things like, "Boy, you are so sweet," or "Girl, you only dare to be so unrestrained because I like you."

Then those lines of yours were repeated and played around with by teenagers who took on different identities.

A burst of sparks suddenly appeared from the dragon's hand.

The young dragon was stunned to see the dragon smash its own hand with its hammer. How could a dragon actually hit its own hand? It was a delicate, soft hand. Why were sparks flying when the hammer struck it? Was it a hand harder than iron?

"What's the point of watching the theater? If a hammer hits your dragon claw, you'll cry out in pain. Go back tonight and strengthen your dragon claw. I'll get you a basin of iron sand, and you can use your dragon claw to stab it."

"???"

A pot of iron filings? Revenge!

Naked revenge!

The enraged dragon was taking revenge on her.

No, the dragon must have secretly gone to Saint Blue City Saint Blue City behind her back, and then saw the scenes she had witnessed there. He was probably embarrassed by what she said, and that's why he became angry.

"I've lost my mindset. I'm not doing any more work today. Let's go, little dragon, I'm going home."

"I... I want to set up a takoyaki stall at night to earn money."

"Money can never be fully earned, enough is enough. I'll go home and practice Iron Sand Palm, and the training to strengthen my dragon body needs to be upgraded a bit. After crashing into the turtle, I'll practice dodging."

"???"

On the day they returned to Black Dragon Island, the young dragon practiced Iron Sand Claws for an hour, then rammed into the tortoise before trying to dodge the dragon's tail.

As a young dragon, she couldn't escape the training. Her whole body ached. The young dragon thought that the evil dragon would only let her experience this training for a day, and that the results would be revealed after a while. This training continued until the end of August. Every night, her whole body ached. Strangely, when it got light, her whole body stopped hurting. Her days became regular. If the evil dragon remembered, she would carve Dragon God Statue in the morning. If she wasn't interested, she would lie on a rocking chair with a parasol and rest with her eyes closed.

In the afternoon, I sat on a small stool with my fishing rod and fished by the river outside the Earl's Mansion's mansion.

If the mood strikes, he might occasionally take her, the fake baby dragon, to catch butterflies in the flowers and plants.

September arrived slowly. The construction of the Dragon God Temple accelerated considerably due to the addition of Extraordinary Person. The Dragon God Statue and the evil dragon were almost finished, and the remaining finishing touches would not take too long.

The evil dragon said he also wanted to paint the Dragon God Statue, and he would mix the paint himself, and he wanted her, the young dragon, to help him with the painting.

The eyes of the Dragon God Statue have not been carved yet, probably because they were waiting until the painting was finished and the Dragon God Temple was completely completed before adding the finishing touches to the Dragon God Statue.

The Dragon God Statue should possess divine qualities. As for its divinity, that depends on whether the dragon god approves of this statue in the human world.
