The Cat Is Out of the Bag-I'm Done Pretending: Old Man Lance Is an Earl with a Fief and Subjects

The Lightning Dragon has a more volatile temper than the Black Dragon. He wouldn't say such hurtful things to people or dragons, and using a divine weapon to beat people would be too violent.

It seems that the incident of the Golden Dragon Austin being beaten up has made the Lightning Dragon Eileen take her opponents a little more seriously. Whether it's this human viscount or the "evil dragon" mentioned by the young dragon, she is probably prepared to go all out.

That day, the Golden Dragon Austin and Eileen had a projection conversation, and the dragon cub was present and heard their conversation.

During their casual conversations these days, Eileen and the dragon cub would occasionally talk about how the Golden Dragon Austin had been beaten up.

Over time, the dragon cub learned everything about the feud between the Golden Dragon Austin and the wild Pure-Blooded Black Dragon.

She was worried that the [evil dragon] would attack the Lightning Dragon Eileen because Eileen herself had told her that Austin speculated that a wild Pure-Blooded Black Dragon might attack her, the Lightning Dragon.

If they knew she was a female dragon, they might kidnap her and make her their wife.

Lightning Dragon Eileen felt that this possibility did exist. It was normal for a wild, Pure-Blooded Black Dragon wandering in the human world to have such thoughts when it suddenly encountered a pure-blooded female dragon.

"I was just trying to lighten the mood, how could you have such thoughts? My Xiaolong is very sentimental. After you leave, I'm afraid she'll cry and the farewell atmosphere will be more relaxed and joyful. Will you come back after this departure?"

"Yes, there's Dragon God Temple here. As a dragon, I'll be staying here from time to time," said Eileen, the Lightning Dragon, with a smile. "Next time we meet, let's fight again. I'll give it my all."

"Forget it, I'm getting old, I've lost my competitive spirit, and I don't want to fight a dragon wielding a divine weapon."

The evil dragon didn't mind sparring with the Lightning Dragon wielded the divine artifact, but Viscount Lance, the human, didn't have that ambition. He was also afraid that the energy of the artifact would affect Saint Lance.

When Eileen leaves, find a deserted place and, as a dragon, test whether you can withstand the bombardment of the divine weapon.

After all these years, he wanted to see if his dragon body's defensive capabilities had improved to the point where it could withstand the bombardment of divine artifacts.

Will you be able to survive if you encounter a legendary hero wielding a divine weapon or Epic Hero?

Ordinary brave warriors and heroes should be no match for this black dragon. The real fear is encountering those legendary monsters who can defeat the strong with the weak and kill enemies by unleashing their power beyond their level.

After all, he had personally witnessed a powerful demon king being brutally beaten by an ordinary human hero.

The Demon King was beaten terribly.

He was terrified at the time.

Fortunately, he was just a nobody in the hero's team back then. After achieving fame and success, the quiet and unremarkable hero retired gracefully. This proves that when you are not strong enough, it is still very necessary to choose to keep a low profile.

If you try to test the strength of your dragon body by posing as a black dragon and finding a hero wielding a divine weapon, you risk being killed by the hero.

We'll test the artifact on Eileen, the Lightning Dragon, who might possess it. The risk is a bit high, but it's within a manageable range.

As a fellow Pure-Blooded Dragon, he didn't believe that the Lightning Dragon Eileen would kill him.

Unless there is a deep-seated hatred, dragons will not fight to the death. No matter how fierce the fight is, they will always spare each other's lives in the end.

In his black dragon's imagination, the relationship between dragons should be like this.

As for whether the dragon, in a fit of rage, would kill its own kind, he couldn't guarantee.

He wasn't really angry that the Lightning Dragon Eileen said he lacked intelligence; he simply wanted to assess their strength by intercepting them halfway.

Looking at all dragons, is the difference in strength between them really that great?

After battling the Golden Dragon Austin, he realized one thing: Golden Dragon Austin's strength wasn't as great as he had imagined. Perhaps Austin was a relatively weak Golden Dragon.

The Lightning Dragon Eileen should be stronger than the Golden Dragon Austin. After all, she is a dragon that has signed a contract with the War God Temple, so her strength cannot be too weak.

"Sister Eileen, when are you planning to leave?"

"Tomorrow."

"Then when Sister Eileen comes next time, I'll treat you to hot pot. In the meantime, I'll try to set up a stall to earn money. Lance is very good to me; he gives me pocket money on weekdays, and sometimes he'll share some of the money I earn from the stall with me."

"Okay, I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts. I also didn't expect to meet you in the human world. I will bring a gift next time I come."

Lance took a case of red wine out of the Adamantine Circle, walked up to Eileen, and handed it to Eileen: "This is red wine I brewed myself. It tastes pretty good. It's yours."

The Lightning Dragon Eileen's eye twitched slightly. "Give me a different gift. Austin accepted your wine and was beaten up by a wild Pure-Blooded Black Dragon on the way. If I accept your wine, I'm afraid I'll have the same fate as Austin."

"."

Can this really be a reason to refuse a gift?

"Superstition is unacceptable." However, Lance still took back the red wine gift box he had given away and replaced it with a beautifully packaged bottle of Baijiu: "Baijiu is stronger than red wine, which suits you better."

Eileen took the Baijiu, picked it up and glanced at it. It was indeed quite good. "Why do you say Baijiu suits me?"

"The alcohol content is relatively high. When you get drunk, your blood rushes to your head, making you fearless. To put it bluntly, alcohol emboldens the cowardly."

"???"

Lance was struck by lightning; this was the price for mocking the Lightning Dragon.

Lance exhaled a puff of smoke, waved his hand to dispel the strange smell, and rolled his eyes, saying, "Your tolerance for words is low. Even a casual remark from me can enrage you. If you encountered the cunning, treacherous, and sharp-tongued Black Dragon, you might lose control at any moment due to his words."

Austin told you this on the phone, and Black Dragon even used it to mock him afterwards. You should learn your lesson.

As a friend, the Golden Dragon Austin was quite decent. After being brutally beaten by the black dragon, he didn't choose to hide it for the sake of face. Instead, he took the initiative to contact Eileen and asked Eileen to keep an eye on the wild Pure-Blooded Black Dragon wandering in the human world.

He thought the Golden Dragon would hide the fact that he had been beaten up by the black dragon from the Lightning Dragon Eileen.

Unexpectedly, he chose to tell Eileen about it.

That makes sense.

A Golden Dragon would complain to his wife—he has a sense of shame, but not much.

The young dragon Lucia found the evil dragon somewhat mysterious; he always seemed to say things that were infuriatingly infuriating, without her noticing.

"Liquor emboldens even the most timid." How did he come up with this saying?

Upon closer reflection, drunk people, besides being more prone to causing trouble, do indeed have more courage than usual.

When some minor nobles confess their feelings to a girl they like, they might drink some wine beforehand, perhaps to bolster their courage.

"Human Viscount, you'd better be kind with your mouth. Not all dragons are as easy to talk to as I am. If you were as sharp-tongued as the black dragon Austin mentioned, that black dragon would be very happy to test your swordsmanship."

Speaking of which, the human swordsman gave you the title of "Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor," tsk, that title might displease some dragons, especially those who like to be evil dragons. They'll see your title as a provocation.

"If you don't tell, and if Austin doesn't tell, no dragon will know that I am the [Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor].

"Austin is a big mouth, and sooner or later he will reveal your identity to the other dragons. You should be glad that Dragon Island is still out of contact for the time being. If you could contact Dragon Island Dragon Island, Austin would definitely tell them what happened here."

Dragon Island remains out of contact, and she and Austin are also unable to reach the dragons on the Dragon Island.

However, the appearance of the Dragon God Temple in the human world, which has gained the approval of the Dragon God, suggests that Dragon Island, which is currently out of contact, may have learned of this.

Perhaps in the near future, Dragon Island will reappear on the mainland.

"In this situation, shouldn't the black dragon's child be feeling fortunate? The black dragon boasted that his child would one day step on the heads of all the dragons on Dragon Island to ascend to the throne."

"."

The young dragon bared its teeth. Couldn't that wretched dragon just leave this matter alone? She had almost forgotten about it.

┭┮┭┮

I pray that Eileen can defeat the evil dragon, and ideally, she can use a divine weapon to make the dragon cry.

"Hehe, the young dragons of Dragon Island will teach the black dragon's child how to be a dragon." Eileen's gaze fell on the young dragon. "Perhaps the little dragon will defeat the black dragon's child before the young dragons of Dragon Island do."

"Take your time, there's no rush."

"We really can't rush it."

The Lightning Dragon Eileen accepted the Baijiu that Lance gave her. The human viscount was alright most of the time, except for the occasional inability to speak human language.

I'll give him a sword next time he comes.

The evil dragon, a lowly ancestor, is quite suited to wielding a sword.

Young Dragon went to prepare the ingredients for the afternoon's stall.

When Lance, who had nothing to do, was about to take the rocking chair back to the Earl's Mansion, he was stopped by Eileen.

Eileen asked Lance to leave the rocking chair behind; she wanted to lie down in it and sunbathe to see if it was really that comfortable.

Lance kept the blanket as well. Although she was not afraid of the cold or heat, she always felt that without the blanket, she would lose the comfort of a human viscount.

Lance left Eileen a rocking chair and a blanket.

Satisfy Eileen's curiosity.

Let her experience what it means to "steal half a day of leisure from a busy life".

Even dragons know how to enjoy life, besides sleeping.

In the Earl's Mansion, Lance sat in the courtyard, watching the Rabbit-Ear Girl Meredith projected on the screen. Those three guys had finally remembered to pay back the money.

"Old Man Lance, you really lived a second life?! When Louis, Dalton, Bazel came back and told us, we didn't believe it. We never thought that you really lived a second life."

When Meredith in the projection saw the young Old Man Lance, she jumped and skipped around, which was a sign of the Rabbit-Ear Girl's happiness.

"Young man, where are you vacationing? Your place looks rather luxurious. The scenery seems quite nice too. Old Man Lance, when did you become so wealthy?"

"What money do I have? It was my poor subjects who made a difference, and they funded the construction of this decent-looking Earl's Mansion for me."

I'm not pretending anymore.

Old Man Lance is about to lay his cards on the table with you younger generation. In fact, your Old Man Lance is not some penniless pharmacist, but a genuine nobleman.

He was also a nobleman with fiefdoms and Fief.

"Your Excellency, here is your juice."

Ingrid, dressed in a maid outfit, was accidentally seen in the projection and was seen by Meredith of the Bronze Bounty Guild, as well as by other members of the Bronze Guild.

The members of the Bronze Guild at home all wanted to see the Old Man Lance had lived a second life, and then they not only saw the Old Man Lance had lived a second life.

I also saw the rather luxurious and grand Earl's Earl's Mansion behind Old Man Lance.

I also heard the maid Ingrid address Old Man Lance as "Viscount".

What's going on? How did the well-off Old Man Lance suddenly become a viscount?

"Viscount?! Old man, how did you suddenly become a viscount?"

"You promised to be penniless, sir. How did you quietly become a nobleman?"

"Damn it! Seeing the old man so comfortable is worse than drinking the extraordinary potion concocted by Old Man Lance."

"I know, it's rented! Maids, luxury villa, courtyard, it must be rented by Old Man Lance. I don't believe Old Man Lance is an aristocrat!"

It's all fake, fake!

Hearing the words of the Extraordinary Person projected on the screen, the round-faced Ingrid covered her mouth and laughed. These people seemed to have a good relationship with the Viscount. "Hello, my name is Ingrid. I'm not someone the Viscount paid to hire; I'm originally the Viscount's maid. Oh, no, the Viscount's title is actually Earl, but we're used to calling him Viscount."

"You are all friends of the Viscount; welcome to Saint Lan!"

"What?! Not a viscount?! A count?! Ahhhhhh!!! Kill me! The old man is so old, how could he possibly become a count?!"

"Damn it, why wasn't I the count? I'm way more handsome than Old Man Lance!!!"

"Adolf, why are you packing your bags?"

"Go seek refuge with the old man. I'm going to become Old Man Lance's bodyguard. Should I wait? What's that sound? Was there an earthquake where Old Man Lance is? Why am I hearing a rumbling sound?"

"I think I heard it too."

Sitting in the courtyard, Lance gently waved his right hand at the bronze Projection Communicator floating in the air. The projector turned around, and the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild saw the source of the rumbling sound.

The sound of dozens of knights in blue and gold armor riding Earth Dragon as they traveled on the opposite road was quite loud. The two leading knights were riding flying dragons, and they could even hear their Dragon Roar.

What's going on? Dozens of Earth Dragon riders.

Two Dragon Knight.

Is it broken that Old Man Lance's one-day aristocratic experience card has expired?

"Sir, tell us the address quickly, and we'll come to protect you."

With two Dragon Roar, two dragons landed not far from the courtyard. Two knights in blue and gold armor leaped off the dragons, lifted their masks, and came into the courtyard. When they were three meters away from Lance, they knelt on one knee.

"Your Excellency, this Ticia, the captain of the Blue Moon Dragon Knight Order."

"Vice Commander Claire."

"Please, Your Excellency, review the troops and award medals!"

The entire Bronze Bounty Guild: "???!!!"

P. S.: Sigh, it seems a bit difficult to write quietly and wholeheartedly. I'm even thinking of moving out or renting a place to write.
