Elves, Have You Heard of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?

Through the clear glass, which was slightly fogged up with water droplets, Lance could see snowflakes still falling outside.

Braving the wind and snow to travel, what could have made the Lightning Dragon Eileen so anxious?

In the face of wind and snow, traveling at night, he would probably go out for a walk or stroll in the snow in this kind of weather.

It's unlikely he'll go on a long trip; he'll stay by the Furnace Fire, listening to the sound of the burning wood, watching the snowflakes outside, and listening to the dragon cub recite Dragon Language.

That's the nature of the Lightning Dragon —fiery and impulsive.

The bitter cold and snow could not stop the Lightning Dragon from traveling through the night.

Although few creatures would dare to attack a Lightning Dragon at night.

I left Saint Lan in the middle of last month, and I'm back at the beginning of this month.

Is the Dragon God Temple worth her longing for? She put some hot and sour shredded potatoes into her bowl, shoveled the rice out of the bowl, put down the bowl, picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, and just as she put the napkin on the table, Eileen, who had horns on her head and a pair of blue-purple vertical pupils, appeared in the restaurant.

Seeing the delicious-looking stir-fried dishes on the table, her gaze fell on Lance: "I haven't eaten yet. Would you mind if I had a free dinner here tonight?"

"If you don't mind, feel free to do so."

Eileen, now in her dragon-human form, sat down in the empty seat next to the baby dragon.

Ingrid carried a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks to Eileen's side and handed Eileen the rice and chopsticks.

"Thanks."

"Miss Eileen, you're too kind."

"This is a gift I prepared for you."

A Jade Pendant appeared in the hand of the Lightning Dragon Eileen. The Jade Pendant Jade Pendant been blessed, and she handed it to Ingrid. As a Lightning Dragon had signed a contract with the Holy Mountain of the War God Temple, she had quite a few of these small items on her.

When I stayed at Saint Lan for a while, Ingrid was very polite. When we ate hot pot, she would help wash the vegetables and address her as Miss Eileen or Lady Eileen.

She had just arrived tonight, and the maid had proactively served her rice and handed her chopsticks. She liked this polite little maid.

"This is too valuable, I cannot accept it."

Ingrid waved her Jade Pendant repeatedly. The Ingrid pendant Eileen gave her seemed to be enhanced with Source Energy Array; it was too precious.

"It's just a little thing, nothing valuable. Take it. I'll need you to look after me occasionally for a while."

"Take it; this little trinket is the least valuable thing to her."

Lance gestured for Ingrid to accept the small gift Eileen gave her, as the Jade Pendant was less valuable than gold coins to a dragon.

Since their viscount had said so, and Miss Eileen had already slipped the Jade Pendant into the pocket of her maid outfit, "Thank you, Miss Eileen."

"You're welcome. I also prepared gifts for your Little Dragon Highness and the Viscount. Oh, why do you have elves here?"

The elf didn't give me any gifts, and I'm not familiar with the elf.

Eileen took a hammer out of her Space Ring and gave it to the young dragon sitting next to her.

It is a hammer that can unleash the power of thunder. When a young dragon wants to temper its body with the power of thunder, it hammers its own head with it.

The greater the force, the fiercer the thunderous power; the less the force, the weaker the thunderous power. "A hammer made to resemble Thunder God Hammer. When you want to temper your dragon body, use the hammer to hammer your own head; when fighting an enemy, use it to hammer your enemy's head. It should last you until adulthood."

If you run out of lightning power, when it rains, you can place the hammer on the mountaintop, and it will automatically absorb the lightning power.

"Thank you, Eileen."

The baby dragon took a while to process the hammer gift before putting it away and placing it into its Lucky Coin.

The gift from the pure-blooded Lightning Dragon, although it's a hammer, is modeled after Thunder God Hammer, so its power should be considerable.

Eileen also prepared a gift for the dragon.

This time she returned not only to study at the Dragon God Temple, but also to have the evil dragon teach her sword intent.

The gift prepared for the dragon was a large, golden sword.

"This is a gift I prepared for you."

The moment the golden sword appeared in the restaurant, its dazzling golden light almost turned Lance's eyes into vertical pupils.

The mansion lacks the spirit of a dragon.

The golden greatsword, nearly as tall as a person, almost made the black dragon, who had been single for 3455 years, lose his composure.

"I'm a little hesitant to accept it."

"Please accept this. It's not only a gift, but also tuition. I want to learn swordsmanship from you. When I first entered the Earl's Mansion's mansion, I thought you were in the main hall, so I mentioned it to you once."

The Lightning Dragon wants to learn swordsmanship from him? Lance became interested. It seems that she was shocked by the power the Black Dragon displayed some time ago and realized the importance of learning.

"Why do you suddenly want to learn swordsmanship from me?"

"???"

Amelia, sitting opposite the Lightning Dragon Eileen, looked at Lance, who was sitting in the main seat.

A sword? Lance knows swordsmanship?

Potion Master, Beast Tamer, Great Swordsman?

The Dragon Girl opposite her exuded a powerful aura, and there seemed to be lightning flashing deep within her blue-purple vertical pupils.

Her demeanor was unlike that of an ordinary Dragon Girl.

Lightning Dragon!

Amelia thought of the Lightning Dragon and Golden Dragon mentioned by the citizens of Saint Blue City.

It is said that not long after the Dragon God Temple was built, a Golden Dragon and Lightning Dragon appeared in the Saint Blue Territory.

The Golden Dragon left a month ago, Lightning Dragon left more than half a month ago.

With its long, slightly wavy, bluish-purple hair, vertical bluish-purple pupils, and horns on its head, it must be the Lightning Dragon that the citizens of Saint Blue City are talking about.

Pure-Blooded Dragon can transform into humans, but some dragons disdain fully emulating human form and choose to retain their dragon characteristics.

For example, vertical pupils, dragon horns, and dragon tail.

Some Pure-Blooded Dragon will transform themselves completely into humans.

A pureblooded Lightning Dragon wants to learn swordsmanship from Lance?

What level of swordsmanship would it take to pique the interest of a dragon?

She even had the idea of learning swordsmanship from Lance? If she remembered correctly, Lance had been learning swordsmanship from Leige on and off back then.

When he was learning swordsmanship, Leige said that if Lance practiced seriously, he could become a great swordsman.

Could a Grand Swordsman's swordsmanship attract a pure-blooded Lightning Dragon?

Even after a thousand years apart, Lance's swordsmanship had reached a high level, and he had become a master swordsman.

It's unlikely that he could inspire a Pure-Blooded Dragon to want to practice swordsmanship with him.

"Remember that Pure-Blooded Black Dragon I mentioned that was wandering the human world?"

"I remember, so what? Don't tell me. The day you left Saint Blue, that black dragon intercepted you halfway. A battle broke out between you, and it even defeated you."

"I really don't want to admit to you that I, the Lightning Dragon, have been defeated, and by a Black Dragon whom I looked down upon. But if I don't even have the courage to accept defeat, then it means that my character is just so-so, and I'm not worthy of being a Black Dragon's opponent in the future."

I lost, so I want to become stronger and avenge my defeat. Human Viscount, the fact that you could blast me and the Golden Dragon Austin down from the sky with a single sword strike means your swordsmanship is likely much stronger than I imagined.

I want to learn swordsmanship from you. Next time I see the Black Dragon, I'll use the sword intent I've learned to strike him, letting him taste the power of the sword intent of the Sword Ancestor of the human world.

"Cough cough cough"

The young dragon choked while drinking water. It turns out that Eileen learned swordsmanship from the evil dragon so that she could use the sword intent she learned to strike the evil dragon.

Students assaulting teachers?

Can they win? Eileen is so honest; she learned swordsmanship from the dragon, but why did she tell him her purpose for learning it?

If you tell the dragon, will it still teach you wholeheartedly? Eileen subconsciously raised her hand to pat the young dragon's back. "Drink slowly. You can learn more human skills in the future. Oh, by the way, you can learn sword intent from the human viscount."

The black dragon wandering the human world is much more powerful than I imagined, and his children are probably more outstanding than we think. If the black dragon used the same methods he used to become stronger to educate his cubs, the young dragons of Dragon Island might not necessarily be able to defeat the black dragon's children.

"Little Dragon, you need to work even harder and strive to become the invincible child of your age, the one who suppressed the Black Dragon."

The young dragon nodded. "Don't worry, Eileen, I'll do my best!"

Ellina smiled and patted the baby dragon's head. Although the little dragon wasn't Pureblood Young Dragon, it had a good human father. With his guidance and its own hard work, the little dragon had a promising future.

If Little Dragon ever evolves into Pure-Blooded Dragon, she will try her best to persuade the Amethyst Dragon Clan on Dragon Island to accept Little Dragon, the Amethyst Dragonling.

"So, you learned swordsmanship to seek revenge, right?"

"That's one way to understand it."

"Then I can't teach you."

"Why can't you teach me?"

"My swordsmanship is for slaying demons and protecting all living beings. If you are seeking revenge or upholding justice, you are not suitable to learn swordsmanship from me."

Slaying demons and monsters?

Protecting all living beings?

Upholding the righteous path?

This is what heroes, warriors, the righteous forces of the human world, and the great temples do. When did you, an evil dragon, develop such awareness? In the dragon's eyes, the "world's people" he speaks of refers to Saint Blue.

He was no different from the demons himself.

As for upholding the righteous path, the "righteous path" he speaks of may actually refer to his "evil dragon path."

Even from the Imperial Daughter's perspective, the dragon's words inexplicably stirred a sense of patriotism within her.

Write down this insightful observation in your diary before going to bed tonight.

From now on, these few words will belong to Imperial Daughter Lucia.

The Lightning Dragon Eileen's vertical pupils revealed a look of surprise. A human viscount actually had such awareness? She couldn't tell, she hadn't seen it at all.

During her short stay in Saint Blue, she witnessed the human viscount's behavior firsthand. He was a lazy count who had no ambition, just drifted along, and lived day to day.

He did not interfere in Saint Lan's political affairs at all.

Life is very pleasant; I either fish or sleep in the sun.

When the mood strikes, he'll change into some strange attire, grab a stick with a canvas over it, and wander the streets, telling fortunes for people.

Like a conman who cheats his own subjects out of money.

It's hard to imagine that such a human being could have such lofty ambitions.

His swordsmanship is used to protect all living beings under heaven.

It is used to uphold the righteous path.

It is used to slay demons and monsters.

They, the Pure-Blooded Dragon, admired humans with noble character.

Golden Dragon, in particular, prefer this kind of person. If any of the Golden Dragon other than Golden Dragon Austin were to meet this human viscount, they would probably consider signing Dragon Knight Contract with him.

"My wording was inaccurate just now. It wasn't the kind of revenge you're thinking of. We'll only determine the winner, not whether we'll fight to the death."

Even if I learn your swordsmanship, I may not be able to protect all living beings, but I can uphold justice. Don't forget that I have a contract with the War God Temple. If humanity is in danger, I will help within my power.

Please consider this carefully. I'm serious about learning swordsmanship from you. This golden greatsword is my token of sincerity.

As a human, you should know what gold represents to dragons, not to mention that this golden greatsword is inlaid with nine source gems.

"I can truly feel your sincerity."

This golden greatsword, taller than a person, can be given to the dragon cub as a gift when it comes of age.

"I'll accept this golden greatsword as your tuition. You don't need to act like a student or call me teacher. Just consider it a transaction."

"Yes, congratulations, human viscount, you have gained the friendship of the Lightning Dragon Eileen."

Lance beckoned to the golden greatsword standing on the ground, and the greatsword turned into a golden light and disappeared from Lance's right fingertip.

He will diligently teach the Lightning Dragon Eileen the art of swordsmanship; as for how much Eileen can learn, that depends on her own comprehension.

He would be very pleased if Eileen could surpass him in kendo.

"Lance, you... really know how to use a sword?"

Seeing how seriously Lance was talking to the Lightning Dragon Eileen Elena, Amelia began to suspect that Lance was lying to both people and the dragon again.

Tricking a pure-blooded Lightning Dragon is no fun. Among the legendary evil dragons, the strongest is the red dragon, followed by the Lightning Dragon, and the third is the black dragon.

If Lightning Dragon Eileen discovers that the evil dragon lied to her, she, an elf who hasn't fought in a long time, might have to temporarily team up with Lance to fight against Lightning Dragon.

"Hmm, you forgot? Leige taught me."

"???" Amelia hesitated, glancing at Eileen. After thinking for a moment and carefully choosing her words, she said, "Your greatest skill is concocting extraordinary potions. Swordsmanship isn't something that makes you a master swordsman just because you can release a sword aura that's two or three meters long."

"If all else fails, how about I try to call Leige over? If Miss Eileen thinks your swordsmanship is only so-so, Eileen can witness Leige's skills."

Even with Lance and her, they might not be a match for the Lightning Dragon Eileen. If the Hero Reg were to arrive, with Leige's current strength, he should be able to easily suppress the Lightning Dragon.

He was, after all, a powerful figure who had carved out his own domain.

Suppressing an ordinary Pure-Blooded Dragon shouldn't be a problem.

Don't say he's still a demigod.

"Leige? The Leige you're talking about is the hero who killed the Demon King more than a thousand years ago in the ' King Sealing Demon Slaying ' war, the one known as the ' Silver Sword Hero '?"

As a Lightning Dragon that had signed a pact with the War God Temple, she had heard of some of the powerful figures in the human world.

The reason she remembered the name Leige was because this human's name had been passed down to the Holy Mountain of the War God Temple.

Sophia, who is known as the "Little War God," went to the human world to challenge the hero known as the "Silver Sword Hero" in order to increase her combat experience.

As for the outcome of the contest, she didn't know; Sophia hadn't told her. However, Sophia said that the Silver Sword Hero could condense a divine essence, ignite the Divine Fire, and ascend to the realm of gods within three thousand years.

The fact that Sophia praised him like that shows that the hero Leige is indeed very strong.

"Yes, yes, you've heard of Leige? He's the captain of our [Radiant Sun] team. My Amelia, and I used to be a member of the [Radiant Sun] team, responsible for ranged attacks."

Lance was also a member of our [Radiant Sun] team. He was Potion Master. After the [King Sealing Demon Slaying] campaign, we told everyone that the [Radiant Sun] team still had one member, Potion Master, and that without him, we might not have won. But no one believed us. [The Non-Existent Potion Master] became Lance's title.

Non-Existent Potion Master? Never heard of that. She did know the title "Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor," though.

"Lance's swordsmanship was taught by Leige; he studied with Leige on and off for a while. Miss Eileen, if you'd like to learn swordsmanship, I can introduce you to Leige."

"???"

Eileen looked at the human viscount Lance. Did the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor learn his swordsmanship from Leige?

Upon returning to the sacred mountain of the War God Temple, she made a point of researching the time when the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor was born.

The time was also more than a thousand years ago.

It seems that the appearance of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor occurred a few years, or even more than a decade, earlier than the rise to fame of the Silver Sword Hero.

I can't remember exactly, but anyway, the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor came first, followed by the Silver Sword Hero.

If it's true that one of them learned swordsmanship from the other, Eileen thinks it's more likely that the Silver Sword Hero learned from the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

However, the fact that the human viscount had once been a member of the Silver Sword Hero was something she found rather novel.

Were human viscounts from over a thousand years ago really this mischievous? A faint smile appeared in Eileen's blue-purple vertical pupils. Judging from the elf opposite her, she seemed unaware that the "Non-Existent Potion Master" she spoke of actually had another identity: the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

Just now, the elf questioned the human viscount, and the human viscount immediately claimed that Leige had taught him swordsmanship, deceiving the naive elf. "Amelia, the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, have you ever heard of her?"

Amelia nodded. "I've heard of him. The Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor is very famous in the extraordinary world. He was a sword genius who appeared out of nowhere. He defeated the strong with the weak and never lost a battle from his birth to his disappearance."

Even before his disappearance, he left behind the Four Realms of the Sword, making the path of the sword even more brilliant and glorious. His vision was grand; after his passing, many powerful swordsmen emerged in the world of swordsmanship.

Lance sighed. It's over. He's really going to be confirmed as a liar. After finding the dragon cub, one absurd thing after another has happened. If he had known that his teammates from a thousand years ago would appear in Saint Blue, he wouldn't have used his identity as the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor to stop the battle between the Golden Dragon, the Lightning Dragon, and the Squid Girl.

"Oh, he first used the identity of the Heroic Spirit Summoner, but he happened to run into the Heroic Spirit King's meeting. That's why he used the identity of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor." Eileen raised her left hand and pointed at Lance, "This person, the [Non-Existent Potion Master] you mentioned, has another identity. The Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor."

What's even more interesting is that the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor appeared out of nowhere a little earlier than your Captain Leige became famous.

"???"

Is Lance the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?
